Age of Conquest Reborn

Lieutenant Colonel Yamazaki, Commander of the Coast Artillery of the Malay Peninsula Garrison Division of Japan's Southeast Asia Expeditionary Force, really wronged His Royal Highness Prince Zaihito, Chief of General Staff of the base camp, a shore artillery commander as big as a sesame seed. Zaihi would not be so bored as Emperor Hirohito.

His younger brother, who has reached the highest position in the military, Zai Ren has not paid much attention to this small amount of credit.

The total annihilation of the Japanese division fleet in the Strait of Malacca is His Majesty the Emperor's plan. It involves all aspects, including the Southeast Asia Expeditionary Force, the Navy's First Fleet, and the 17th Air Force of the Taiwan Front. Each has its own factions and factions.

, it also involves the long-standing dispute between land and sea in the imperial world. Without a big boss of sufficient weight to sit in the middle and coordinate and command, it is easy for cooperation to fail, or even to undermine each other.

It’s not just Yamazaki’s shore artillery Chapter 1313

Commander of the blocked fleet, now, the titles of Supreme Commander of the Imperial Navy's First Fleet and Commander of the Seventeenth Air Force are attached to Prince Zain. This is not just as simple as central coordination;

Taking over the command, it can be seen how determined Emperor Hirohito and his two brothers are to kill the Japanese division fleet!

After receiving Yamazaki's telegram, Prince Zai Ren, who read countless people and was cunning and cunning, saw Yamazaki's little thoughts at a glance. He smiled disdainfully and said: "Stupid," and then the reply to Yamazaki couldn't be simpler.

, just two words: "Hold it! Don't let it pass."

After sending the resentful telegram, he got just a few words. Yamasaki was stunned for a moment, "Hold it!" These two words were slippery, but they contained too many meanings. Of course, "Hold it!"

Nothing happened, but if he could not withstand it and allowed the Japanese division fleet to escape from his defense zone, Yamazaki knew the seriousness of the consequences, and it would not be as simple as losing his head.

As for how to withstand it and how to prevent the China fleet from passing through, that is the matter of the on-site commander, Lieutenant Commander Yamazaki. The Chief of General Staff has too many big issues to consider, and it is Yamasaki's duty to specifically command the operation.

A fire in Yamazaki. I wrote Chapter 1313 in my heart

The fleet was blocked and could not get out, so they challenged the Chief of General Staff. Yamazaki himself felt tired of living. Braving fierce artillery fire, Yamazaki arrived at the nearest forward artillery position. The scene was unbearable for Yamazaki to witness. The powerful naval gun shells blasted the

The shore artillery position here was overturned. The shell craters all over the place, the twisted shore artillery, and the corpses with missing arms and legs were all a mess.

Yamasaki wanted to find a living soldier and ask about the specific situation. The staff officer he sent out did not run a few dozen meters away when a large-caliber artillery shell roared down. The staff officer turned into a rain of blood and minced meat. Yamazaki

Hurry back to the headquarters. If you stay any longer, the commander himself may become one of the corpses everywhere.

Qiuquan was not satisfied with the current intensity of the attack. He felt that the progress was too slow. He bombarded the Japanese artillery position for nearly an hour, but the Japanese artillery there had not been completely cleared. On the surface, it seemed that the Japanese artillery here had been destroyed.

It was destroyed, but Qiuquan did not dare to order the fleet to advance. If the Japanese army had a backup artillery position and the fleet entered the range of its artillery fire, it would be violently attacked.

But time waits for no one. Tang Qiuquan’s eyebrows twisted into a big knot. Along the right bank of the Malacca Strait, there was not only this Japanese artillery position, but also at least five places that posed a threat to the fleet. This was the first one.

If this continues, it will still be difficult to move forward. There are less than five hours until dawn, so we must find a way to solve this problem.

Major General Amosiev, the first deputy commander of the fleet, walked up to Qiuquan and whispered a few words. Qiuquan's brows widened and he ordered: "First, the second speedboat brigade, immediately attack the shelling area just now, in depth.

Within a range of fifteen kilometers, indiscriminate artillery fire was carried out, and the first carrier-based aircraft flight group took off two brigades to serve as aerial observation aircraft and at the same time destroy sporadic Japanese artillery."

Amosiev's method is actually a method that has no solution. It is impossible to judge whether the Japanese army has a reserve artillery position. He simply covers it with indiscriminate artillery fire and catches all fish and no fish. To do such a job,

A brigade of speedboats equipped with naval warfare-type "Thunder" rocket launchers is the most suitable. Several speedboats can fire in a salvo without any blind spots.

Yamazaki, who returned to the headquarters, knew that his first-line shore artillery position was completely destroyed, and the naval guns of the Navy Division had beaten everything to pieces. He grabbed the phone and ordered the second-line artillery position to immediately enter combat status.

When the ** division's warships approached, they immediately began shelling.

Then, he held up his telescope and carefully observed the sea surface. Although it was pitch dark and could not see anything clearly, he could conclude that the warships of the Navy Division would definitely continue to move forward. Otherwise, a fleet would not be able to follow more than a hundred gates.

He secretly felt lucky that two artillery positions had been set up, otherwise the first artillery group would have been turned into scrap metal due to the shelling just now.

Many small moving black spots vaguely appeared in the telescope. Yamazaki tried his best to open his eyes, but he still couldn't see clearly. At this moment, bursts of fire suddenly flashed on the sea. Under the fire, a ship had a strange shape.

gunboat,

A mysterious figure was revealed, and then, a series of meteor-like bright spots, trailing long tail flames, flew over in neat formations, overwhelming the sky. Yamazaki watched in surprise as these bolides swept across the sky in front of him, and his mind was full.

Don't understand.

"Boom, boom, boom!" There were so many explosions that the earth shook and the mountains were shaken. There was an indistinguishable sound. A wave of air came and made Yamazaki fall over. The dust swept in from the observation hole and penetrated into the headquarters a few meters below the rocks on the seaside.

The small boat in the violent storm began to bump violently, and the disgraced Yamazaki climbed up. Even a stupid person could tell that this was the enemy's artillery fire.

But Yamazaki didn't understand. He was an old artilleryman. What kind of gun was this? He had never seen it before. The gunboat was even more terrifying. He unknowingly touched it under his nose. He picked up the phone and called loudly.

He shouted: "Prepare shore artillery positions and launch shelling on the waterway immediately!" He found that his shouting was in vain. There was no sound on the other end of the phone.

Yamazaki was alert, "Did the second-line artillery positions also suffer devastating bombardment from this strange artillery?" He ordered: "Use the radio to contact the reserve artillery positions immediately."

There was no response from the radio station. With the war going on like this, Yamazaki also figured out something. Once his artillery fires, the target will be exposed. Not only will it be unable to hit the Japanese division's warships, but it will be hit by other people's naval cannons.

Knock them out one by one. This disadvantageous thing can no longer be done. If the attack continues like this, let alone withstand it, the five artillery positions will be destroyed one by one before dawn.

There is also the elusive and mysterious gunboat. Even the second-line artillery positions that cannot fire can't escape the artillery fire. All of Yamazaki's reserve artillery positions are located twelve kilometers away from the rear of the forward artillery positions.

You can't escape the coverage of this kind of strange cannon within a radius of twelve kilometers. How much wealth do you have that you can afford to worry about?

Yamazaki felt that he should deal with it on the fly, and ignore the ignorant Chief of General Staff. He immediately used the radio to order several other artillery groups. When the ** division fleet was not within the range of artillery fire, it was absolutely not allowed to fire to expose the target.

If I don't fire, will the Chinese warship's guns still be able to find their position?

Once the Chinese warship continues to move forward and enters the coverage of my artillery fire, I will risk my life to fight. Anyway, I will be exhausted with the Chinese fleet. "Drag" is also a way of "withstanding", and the loss will be minimal.

way.

Yamasaki's countermeasures put Qiuquan in a dilemma. The fleet has advanced to the vicinity of Singapore waters. He can be sure that the Japanese shore artillery positions just exposed, including the reserve positions, have been completely destroyed. Nothing can defeat the "Thunder" rocket launcher.

Survive the storm of artillery fire unless you crawl underground.

But next, the Japanese army stopped firing, and the fleet lost its target. It couldn't be covered by the speedboat brigade, kilometer after kilometer. First of all, ammunition was a big problem, and the fleet couldn't afford to delay. Qiuquan gritted his teeth and said, "

Order the two brigades of the First Carrier-based Aircraft Regiment to withdraw, and the entire Second Regiment to take off to conduct fire reconnaissance within a depth of 20 kilometers on the right bank of the Strait of Malacca. After the Second Regiment returns, the First Regiment takes over."

Qiuquan could only do this. Carrier-based aircraft carried aerial bombs, bombing them wherever the Japanese army might set up artillery positions, and then strafing them. He didn't believe it. The two carrier-based aircraft groups took turns.

If we fight like this, the Japanese artillery positions will not surface?

In the sky, the lights of carrier-based aircraft flying at night flashed. Bombs were dropped one after another, and bullets were fired in series. Yamazaki was so ruthless that he could blow up fireworks everywhere, with flashes of fire and dirt flying everywhere, but he would not move.

, gritted his teeth, and did not fire his guns without seeing the Chinese warship. After more than an hour, seeing no effect, Qiuquan had no choice but to order the operation to be terminated.

With no choice, Tang Qiuquan could only order the fleet to stop advancing and anchor on the spot. He did not dare to risk advancing. With a coastline of more than 100 kilometers long, who knew that there were still several Japanese artillery positions ahead. He could only wait, but Qiuquan did not

Unexpectedly, the Japanese garrison here would be so difficult to deal with. As time passed by, Qiuquan's face became increasingly ugly.

At dawn on November 20, at about 5 o'clock, the first echelon bomber group of the Southern Flying Group flew over the Malay Peninsula and arrived in the airspace of the Strait of Malacca. Twenty minutes later, the first echelon fighter group flew under the command of Commander Le Yi.

Under the command of Qin, they flew over Yangon and rushed to escort the bomber group.

Ten minutes later, in the small town of Yangdong, northwest of Yangon, Tang Qiuli of the Yangon Frontline Command of the Army Division was awakened by Liu Xinlan. After washing, he picked up the breakfast carefully prepared by Liu Xinlan and just took a bite.**

Chen Feng, the director of the division's communications department, rushed in in a hurry. He didn't have time to stand at attention and said in a hurried tone: "Division commander, urgent information!"
