Age of Conquest Reborn

Chapter 1,147 Fight back

The Japanese attack force occupied the first position of the ** Division's Wubin blocking defense line as expected. The commander of the division, Nan Hao, who directed the attack, immediately spoke to Commander-in-Chief Ito, "Your Excellency, Commander-in-Chief, our artillery fire has completely destroyed

The positions of the Chinese army are in ruins everywhere, and there is not even a living Chinese soldier. Please tell me what to do next. Should we attack and advance immediately, or should we consolidate the existing positions?"

Putting down the phone, Ito's eyes rolled around a few times, and he couldn't help but feel suspicious. He believed that the shelling had achieved its effect. However, it was not normal to find no corpses or wounded soldiers of the ** division.

After all, we should have seen some traces. The Imperial Army's artillery fire would not have blown the Army Division's position and the soldiers into smithereens, right?

Ito picked up the phone and said, "Order, Nan Hao Division Commander, the attack force, to send two regiments of troops to continue the deep attack on Wubin. The remaining troops immediately consolidate the occupied positions to prevent the ** Division troops from counterattack.

After putting down the phone, he said to Chief of Staff Koizumi: "Koizumi-kun, order the heavy artillery brigade to immediately build a position behind the attacking troops. Once the ** division troops counterattack, they will cover 1."

Be careful of the omnipotent ship. Just over an hour ago, Tang Qiuli used a plane to beat himself up severely. This cunning Chinese devil still has some trump cards in his hand. Ito is not sure. He always

I feel that this battle was fought awkwardly. If there was sporadic resistance on the occupied ** division positions, that would be normal.

In the northwest of Wubin, the battle headquarters, the phone on the table of "Ding Ling Ling" rang rapidly. Chang Feng picked up the phone and couldn't help frowning and said, "Continue to monitor," and turned to Tang Qiusheng and said: "

The deputy division commander and the forward troops reported that after the Japanese army occupied the first line of position, they did not continue to attack and advance. Instead, they sent out about two regiments of infantry, divided into multiple groups, to attack the second line of position. Should we attack this group first?

Eaten by the Japanese army?”

Tang Qiusheng shook his head and said: "Ito is cunning enough. He did not find the corpses or wounded of our soldiers on the front line, so he became suspicious, fearing that this was a trap. The Japanese troops in these two regiments were obviously probing.

Because of the nature of the attack and the unclear situation, Ito will not attack rashly. He was also frightened by the formation just now."

Chang Feng asked: "Then how do we deal with this part of the Japanese army? If we continue to let them in, we will find the troops we have deployed on the third line of defense, and Ito will not be fooled." Tang Qiusheng hugged his shoulders and stared at

Tu Tu turned around suddenly, seeming to have made a lot of determination, "Changfeng, order the troops on the third line of defense to withdraw from their positions to create the illusion that we have evacuated Wubin."

"Also, before the troops withdraw, a large number of landmines should be laid at major intersections and high ground. Everything must be done realistically. Ito dreams of breaking through the Uhama defense line. If Ito doesn't take the bait, he will eat it if he spreads this bait.

This Japanese army, let’s look at Ito’s reaction. We will defend and Ito will attack. We are not afraid of stalling for time.”

Chang Feng seemed stunned, thought for a while, and said: "Deputy division commander, is this too risky? Our army has a total of three lines of defense, all of which have been abandoned. Once the Japanese army launches a large-scale assault, the troops have no fortifications to support, and it will be difficult to stop the Japanese army.

, would you like to think about it again?”

Tang Qiusheng shook his head, looked at Chang Feng, and said firmly: "The Battle of Degang is over, and we no longer have any worries. Now, the nature of the battle is no longer a question of whether it can stop the Japanese army, but whether it can stop the Japanese army at a certain stage."

The main force was delayed at a specific location, creating time for Feng Jiwu Corps and Ma Chaoyang Corps to rush to the battlefield in northern Myanmar."

"Compared to Wubin, Degang is more conducive to defense. Don't forget, my plan is to use artillery fire to kill as many Japanese troops as possible, and form a stalemate with the Japanese army on the Wubin or Degang front lines.

The 19th Corps is on its way into Burma, and once it arrives, there won’t be much of a difference in strength compared to the Japanese army.”

"Order the 1st to 4th tank brigades to form a defense line fifteen kilometers north of Wubin. Once the entire Japanese army attacks, this steel defense line will be enough for them to chew on for several days. Also, the division commander led the

The four brigades are also on their way to Wubin. All the troops are gathered together to launch a large-scale counterattack. It is enough. Are you afraid that Ito will march straight in?"

Chang Feng was impressed. The deputy division commander's analysis was very reasonable and interlocked. Instead of fighting a war of attrition with the Japanese army, it would be better to use artillery fire to attack. With just two regiments of thousands of Japanese troops, they would not face the danger of the front.

Big, Chang Feng said: "It's the deputy division commander. He immediately conveyed the order. At the same time, he notified the rocket artillery troops that the area covered by artillery fire was on all the original positions of our army."

The Japanese troops of the two regiments successfully occupied the second position of the ** Division without any form of obstruction. The intelligence was reported to Ito, who became more suspicious. No ** Division soldiers were found at the two successive lines of defense.

According to the report of the unit commander, the occupied ** division positions, trenches and fortifications were very complete and could withstand multiple attacks by the imperial army.

There is a fraud here. Tang Qiuli defended the Baodwen mining area with more than 50,000 men. Reinforcements came and there was no reason to abandon the established position. From Wubin to Degang, the terrain was complicated. Ito went from the bottom to the top.

Order, "The 13th Division, follow up the troops in front, search and advance. If attacked by the ** Division troops, immediately fall back."

A cunning and proud smile appeared on the corner of Ito's mouth. Tang Qiuli put up such a formation to take advantage of our imperial army's eagerness to break through the Wubin defense line. During the march, if there was a sudden attack, I would make a probing attack.

Release the troops one after another, connecting them end to end

, if Wu Bin has not found traces of the ** division troops, and then follow up with the strength of three divisions, let this China devil see it, but not be able to swallow it, and worry about my subsequent main force, just play with me

You, Tang Qiuli, are a little too naive for such a trick!

Ito was like a confident fisherman, sitting firmly on the canvas camping chair, ready to enjoy the pleasure of seeing through Tang Qiuli's scheme. About an hour later, Chief of Staff Koizumi walked into the tent and said, "Report to the Commander-in-Chief, the vanguard unit."

Report that after they had passed through Ubin, the third line of defenses of the Chinese army was discovered north of Ubin."

Ito smiled. As expected, this was a strategy in China's military strategy called "luring the enemy deep". Koizumi paused and then said, "However, the vanguard was blocked and could not continue to move forward." Ito glanced at Koizumi in surprise.

, asked dissatisfied: "Since no ** division troops were found, why were they blocked?"

Koizumi replied: "China soldiers have laid a large number of mines at major intersections and key areas, blocking the road north to Myitkyina. The troops are clearing mines. According to their reports, it will take about five to six hours to clear all the mines.

At that time, based on my humble judgment, the China troops were intended to block or slow down our army, or more likely to create suspicion and waste our time."

Ito shook his head, stood up from the chair, and paced back and forth in the tent with his short and fat body, thinking rapidly. This was something Ito had not expected. Since Tang Qiuli wanted to "lure the enemy deeper," he would not

He set up no obstacles in Wubin, but his troops blocked the road to the north with a large number of landmines. What kind of tricks was this China devil doing?

Seeing that the Commander-in-Chief was wasting a lot of brain cells, Chief of Staff Koizumi hesitated and said: "General, I have a bold idea in this lowly position." Ito, who was puzzled, looked at it in disbelief.

Koizumi glanced at it and said casually: "Oh, Koizumi-kun, tell me and listen."

Ito knew him too well as the chief of staff. How should I put it, his brain is not big enough. Of course, compared with himself, in general, he is still a good senior officer. Koizumi was encouraged and continued: "

According to various indications, our army’s shelling did not target

The Chinese troops caused serious damage, and they abandoned three lines of defense one after another. Based on this, I made a bold judgment that the Chinese troops had evacuated Wubin, and the evacuation was a planned one, because there was no one on the Wubin front line.

Dangerous terrain conditions that can be exploited 1,.”

Ito was suddenly startled, and Koizumi proposed a possibility from another angle. Otherwise, it would be impossible to explain the move of the ** Division troops to abandon three positions one after another and retreat to

It is entirely possible to re-build the blocking defense line in Degang. The terrain of Degang is much more dangerous than that of Wubin.

I was too cautious. It should be said that I was frightened by Tang Qiuli's endless methods. Although Ito resisted admitting this, all his orders were timid, starting from the bombardment, from the air battle to the bombardment.

First, his own artillery position was subjected to devastating bombing by the ** Division aviation. A series of dazzling events made him timid.

Ito deliberately said calmly: "Koizumi-kun, your judgment is worthy of consideration. Now, I order the troops to pass through Uhama immediately and approach Tokugang." Koizumi's suggestion was affirmed by the Commander-in-Chief, and his face

He was absolutely brilliant and felt like he had come out on top. He immediately answered loudly and energetically, "Hai!"

Ito was very worried that the ** division troops evacuated from Ubin would rely on the dangerous terrain of Degang to build a blockade that was more difficult to break through. A Ubin that had no danger to defend would be bruised and swollen, but Degang had not yet hit its bones.

Broken ribs?

Chang Feng reported: "Deputy division commander, the forward surveillance post reported that the main force of the Japanese army passed through Wubin and was rushing towards the scheduled bombardment area. Tang Qiusheng said calmly: "Order all units to prepare for battle. The fifth tank brigade, directly under the

The 1st to 3rd brigades of the Corps and the 4th to 7th brigades of the Sulu Mobile Corps are preparing for a counterattack."

It was under such circumstances that Tang Qiuli rushed to the Wubin front line when the war was imminent. As soon as he entered the door of the headquarters, he felt a tense atmosphere.
