Age of Conquest Reborn

The artillery battle between the Chinese and Japanese armies lasted for a very short time, less than thirty minutes. Several Japanese artillery positions suffered devastating blows. When it comes to the number and caliber of artillery pieces, Ito had his pants down.

We can't catch up with him either. In Zheng Yong's words, "If the little devil comes over with a cannonball, let's fire him a hundred rounds to see who is cruel enough."

The infantry troops on the Mengmi front line of the ** Division dispatched thousands of squads, digging out Japanese observation posts one by one like digging potatoes, and knocked out the Japanese infantry observation posts that had sneaked into the front line of the ** Division's artillery. The Japanese artillery was then

Not only did they become blind, but the Japanese artillerymen, who did not receive instructions, could only fire from the original direction, and they did not receive an order to stop the bombardment. Many artillery shells fell on the heads of the Japanese soldiers. This aggravated the situation of the Japanese army.

Disaster for the troops

By around nine o'clock in the morning on October 10, the ** Division's artillery had used volcanic eruption-like artillery fire to bombard the Japanese troops of six divisions for more than five hours. More than 20 rocket artillery battalions fired rockets one after another.

It blocked all the channels for the Japanese army to retreat to the defense line of Libao Grand Canyon. At the same time, it also blocked the possibility of the Japanese army to move forward.

Hundreds of thousands of Japanese troops were pinned to the front line of Mogok by artillery fire. The unobstructed forests and fields were littered with the broken corpses of Japanese infantry. More than five hours of shelling almost killed more than half of the Japanese troops.

The remaining Japanese soldiers could only wait helplessly for the judgment of fate. They wanted to fight the Chinese soldiers desperately, but they didn't even see their opponents. All they saw were endless shells falling from the sky.

Ito's face was livid. He had no choice but to watch the rolling red clouds in the thick fog. The artillery launched a counterattack, but the artillery of the ** division used superior firepower to knock out hundreds of artillery pieces.

After this news, Ito was already very numb. The last glimmer of hope that the imperial troops in the first attack wave could retreat was shattered.

He could only wait for the fate of death. As the supreme commander of the imperial army, he had no choice but to watch hundreds of thousands of his subordinates being massacred by Chinese artillery fire. This feeling was more painful than cutting flesh with a blunt knife.

Full of sorrow, he has experienced scenes of war, but he has never experienced it. He has not seen a single infantryman on the other side. He can cripple hundreds of thousands of imperial troops with just cannons. What does this Chinese devil have in his hands?

How many artillery?

Ito let out a long sigh, closed his eyes, and two drops of turbid tears fell silently, "Order, the first wave of attack troops immediately launch an attack on the ** division troops on the Mengmi front line. No retreat is allowed without an order, even if all the jade pieces are broken."

"Ito gave such an order, his voice hollow and dry without a trace of emotion.

No one dared to raise objections. This order actually pushed the imperial troops to the casualty line. With such dense and fierce artillery fire from the Chinese troops, the imperial soldiers would be blown up by the shells before they could reach Mengmi.

Fragment, that Chinese devil Tang Qiuli's tactic was to use such devastating bombardment to wipe out all the imperial troops in the first attack wave in Mogok. Your Excellency, the Commander-in-Chief's judgment is correct, Mogok is a big trap.

In fact, Ito didn't know this result. He didn't know that once this order was issued, not many of the 150,000 imperial soldiers would come back alive. Since Tang Qiuli could bring out so many artillery pieces to defend the front line of Mengmi, he couldn't

It must be unbreakable. Letting the imperial army, which has already suffered heavy casualties, take the initiative to attack is like a moth flying into a flame.

But he had to do this, he had to issue such a cruel and ruthless order. Instead of being helplessly blown up to death by the enemy's shells in Mogok, it was better to fight to the death, even if there were 150,000 soldiers.

Even if we fight them all, we can still cause a certain amount of damage to the troops of the damned Chinese devil Tang Qiuli. It is better than closing our eyes and waiting for death.

No, it must not be like that. The soldiers of the Japanese Empire cannot just be useless. If they want to die, they must die on the road of charge. Let the young bodies of the imperial warriors face the intensive rain of bullets from the Chinese soldiers, even if they are covered in bullets.

Full of bullet holes, their souls will also return to their hometown, because they are fighting warriors. Ito sighed and seemed to be sending off his subordinates in this way.

Tang Qiuli had just put down Zheng Yong's phone call. He was inspired by the Japanese observation post and risked his life to sneak close to his artillery position. Zheng Yong ordered all artillery observation posts to get as close as possible to the shelling area for observation, mainly to observe the effect of the shelling. After five

After more than an hour of bombardment, some adjustments were made to the method of artillery bombardment, mainly to block the retreat of the Japanese army through the Libao Grand Canyon.

According to Zheng Yong's estimation, the little Japanese who were suppressed on the front line in Mogok had lost their combat effectiveness. Zheng Yong said this, "Commander, if hundreds of thousands of artillery shells hit him, even if the little Japanese is an iron man, he will be reduced to powder.

There was an observation team report just now

, the shelling area they observed, how should I say, the ground was almost red, there was not a single standing tree, not a single complete stone. When the fog cleared, the infantry went up to clean the battlefield, but,

There’s not much left.”

Tang Qiuli agreed with Zheng Yong's statement. In fact, if normal battlefield rules were followed, after two hours of shelling, infantry and tanks could rush in to resolve the battle. However, Tang Qiuli did not want to do this, not because the Japanese army was trapped and still fighting.

The heavy fog made it difficult to see the target clearly. If the infantry unit was thrown into the battle, it would be a complete victory, but the casualties would not be small. He still had the same principle. A battle that could be solved with artillery shells would never be fought with the lives of soldiers.

Finish

According to Tang Qiuli's estimation, the Japanese army should not have many troops left. Just like a ripe persimmon, a gust of wind can blow it to the ground. The question is, how to prevent the fallen persimmon from splashing the pulp all over the body. If these

Knowing that there was no hope of survival, the Japanese soldiers launched a desperate assault and risked their lives. This issue really cannot be ignored.

He immediately picked up the phone and said, "Order the frontline troops in Mengmi to immediately prepare for an anti-Japanese assault. Remember, just defend in place and use intensive firepower to kill and injure the Japanese effective forces as much as possible. Never allow that

Troops, launch a counterattack, wait for the fog to dissipate, and wait for orders from the division headquarters."

The Japanese soldiers were really desperate. Under the command of middle and lower-level officers, the Japanese soldiers, with their backs bare and a white cloth wrapped around their heads, held out their bayonets, as if they had drunk the invulnerable Fulu water, and did not take any evasive measures at all.

The action, a swarm of swarms, a charge of 70,000 to 80,000 people, the scene was quite big.

"Boom" a large-caliber artillery shell fell on the charging path of the Japanese soldiers. A dozen Japanese soldiers were like torn toys, with flesh and blood flying everywhere. The Japanese soldiers around them seemed not to have seen this scene.

, the steps kept going

While charging forward, the Japanese soldiers lost consciousness and fear, lying on the spot and were killed by Chinese shells. On the way to the charge, their bodies were reduced to pieces in a burst of fire. The latter is undoubtedly the most consistent image of a Japanese samurai.

Noble way to die

The fire and smoke from the explosion of the artillery shells billowed in the thick cotton-like fog, and the figures of the Japanese soldiers appeared and disappeared like ghosts. This was a contest between passion and will and the overwhelming artillery fire, rushing through a

A wall of fire rushed through bursts of smoke. The figures of Japanese soldiers became fewer and fewer. Behind them were broken corpses.

Finally, we could see the illusory outline of the town in the thick fog. However, what made the Japanese soldiers despair was that in front of the outline were the muzzles of countless tanks and the black muzzles of countless light and heavy machine guns, as if the current had been cut off.

, the overwhelming artillery fire stopped suddenly, and a strange calm suddenly appeared between the sky and the earth. This kind of explosion from the sky-shattering explosion to the silence without any sound was unbearable.

The calm was short-lived. The ears and psychology of the Japanese soldiers who rushed to the Mengmi defense line had not yet adapted to the calm. The sudden sound of gunfire replaced the calm. The eyes of the Japanese soldiers were filled with dots.

Mars, the Japanese soldier in the first row, was covered with blood holes and was knocked backwards. The huge impact of the light and heavy machine gun bullets knocked the Japanese soldiers down like harvesting rice.

The tank's muzzle also spit out shells, and the low-trajectory shells exploded in the pile of Japanese soldiers who rushed over. This was another form of shelling. By about 11 o'clock at noon, the battlefield completely calmed down.

As if to match the rhythm of this war, the heavy fog that filled the sky gradually dissipated until it was blown away by the autumn wind in northern Myanmar.

The full view of the huge battlefield suddenly appeared in front of his eyes. In Tang Qiuli's telescopic lens, he saw a scene as if the war had just ended. From Mogok to the front-line forward positions in Mengmi, there was no trace of green, and there were craters everywhere.

Everywhere is as desolate as a desert. There are no other colors. Everything you see is scorched earth, land that has been turned over several times by cannonballs.

The Japanese Southeast Asia Expeditionary Force, with more than 100,000 troops from six divisions leaving Mogok, was completely wiped out in more than seven hours of fighting. This was the largest number of Japanese troops annihilated since Tang Qiuli commanded the operation.

This time was also the one with the fewest casualties among the ** Division's troops in all previous wars. In order to achieve this effect, the ** Division's artillery unit fired nearly a million rounds of artillery shells, and all the artillery shells stored before the war were fired.

This bombardment is also unprecedented in the history of wars in various countries around the world. Various chances, coincidences, and favorable factors have created such a battle method. No infantry was dispatched, but more than 8,000 artillery pieces were used to determine a victory.

Only Tang Qiuli could win this battle, and only the army's strong economic and military strength could achieve it.

An artillery bombardment that lasted for more than seven hours killed about one-third of Ito's Japanese troops. The division headquarters was filled with joy. The young staff officers and correspondents were jumping and cheering. They were all responsible for this.

Those who had witnessed the battle naturally felt deeply. Tang Qiuli suddenly saw the figures of two soldiers through the telescope. They were walking staggeringly on the land plowed by artillery fire, and seemed to be carrying a stretcher.
