Age of Conquest Reborn

Chapter 132 A desperate move

The mortar shells from the reinforcements accurately landed in the enemy pile, and were blasted out from the favorable position of being covered by armored vehicles, immediately exposing them to the guns of the soldiers.

The Japanese armored vehicles repeated their old tricks, increased their speed, and attacked the mortar positions of the reinforcements. What greeted them were dozens of strange-looking guns. The muzzle flashes flashed, and powerful armor-breaking bullets were sprayed out.

Yu's armored vehicle exploded into balls of fire.

The ammunition that exploded in the vehicle tore the armored vehicle into shreds of steel and iron. The hot fragments also affected the nearby Japanese soldiers, making them howl like ghosts.

After all the Japanese armored vehicles were wiped out, the battlefield situation was completely reversed. The Japanese Marines who landed were pushed back to the landing craft step by step by the troops.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the remaining Japanese hurriedly climbed onto the landing craft. The Japanese landing craft's motors were emitting black smoke, so they turned around and ran back. The mortars followed up and fired another round of shells, blowing up the two landing craft and sinking them to the bottom of the sea.

The rest of the Japanese landing craft sped up and quickly escaped from the mortar range. Finally, they did not end up with their boats destroyed and no one killed. Of the more than a thousand Japanese marines, less than one-fifth managed to escape.

The gunfire fell silent, and the wreckage of the armored vehicle still smoking thickly and the corpses of Japanese soldiers scattered on the beach spoke of the intensity and reference of the battle just now.

The troops suffered more than 200 casualties. Tang Qiuli was afraid for a while. If the reinforcements could not arrive in time, the Japanese would land a second echelon. He and more than 600 soldiers would be responsible for this today.

Seeing the Japanese landing craft gradually turning into small black dots, Tang Qiuli suddenly remembered something. He shouted loudly to the soldiers who were still cleaning the battlefield: "Everyone, get out of here, quickly! Enter the underground warehouse!"

Although the soldiers did not understand the commander's purpose of doing this, they still obeyed the order and quickly left the beach. As soon as they retreated to the door of the underground warehouse, the Japanese warship's cannons came over them head-on, with fierce gunfire. In an instant,

Covered the battlefield just now.

Pieces of sand fell from the top of the warehouse from time to time. Everyone felt like they were sitting in a small boat that was constantly being hit by strong winds and huge waves, swaying from side to side, as if it might sink at any time.

The artillery fire lasted for about an hour before it gradually stopped. Many of the soldiers hiding in the underground warehouse had blood stains on their mouths, which was caused by the shock wave of the explosion of the large-caliber shells.

All the soldiers, including Tang Qiuli, had a "buzzing" sound in their ears, just like dozens of large gongs suddenly beating in their ears.

I have fought so many battles with the Japanese, but I have never seen such a powerful cannon.

Captain Okada of the Marine Corps stood on the troop carrier with a pale face, looking at the seven landing craft that had fled back in a panic. Out of anger, his fingers clenching the command knife had turned white, and his eyes were shining with a cold light like a wolf.

About two hundred Japanese soldiers, including many wounded soldiers, covered with dust, crawled crookedly onto the deck of the troop carrier. Their appearance of throwing away their armor and removing their armor aroused Okada's anger even more. He was like a wolf.

With his eyes, he searched for the first echelon leader among the soldiers.

It was a total disgrace to the Imperial Japanese Navy. Even the small Chinese armed forces were unable to deal with it. We also lost nine armored vehicles, two landing craft, and more than 800 heroic marines. This is an unforgivable crime.

After searching, he immediately grabbed a lieutenant. Among the few remaining officers, this guy had the highest rank. The lieutenant told him that the Chinese people have a strong will to fight and are skilled in tactical movements. They are a well-trained force.

, the echelon leader was shattered at the beginning of the battle.

Okada simply does not believe that the Chinese army that can compete with the Imperial Japanese Marine Corps has not yet been born! All of this is an excuse for his subordinates to cover up their incompetence. It is not the fault of a soldier!

He whipped out his command knife and slashed the unlucky lieutenant into the sea with one blow. A wave of waves rolled, a wisp of dirty blood drifted with the sea water, and the corpse of the Japanese lieutenant sank to the bottom of the sea, adding some snacks to a certain fish.

He asked naval guns to bombard the beach where he had just landed. Okada did not believe that under such fierce artillery bombardment, what chance did the Chinese people have to survive? He did not think that the fighting power of the Chinese armed forces was very powerful, but only his own

The subordinates are incompetent.

This time, he will personally lead the team and mobilize all of them to eliminate these hateful Chinese people who have made him lose face. He will also go into the city to kill, vent the bad breath in his heart, and let these humble Chinese people understand,

The dignity of the Imperial Japanese Marine Corps cannot be offended.

Tang Qiuli got out of the underground warehouse. The pungent smell of gunpowder smoke and the burning pain in his throat were everywhere. Buildings destroyed by shells were everywhere, with thick smoke and flames still rising. Big holes were blown out of the ground.

It was like being blown by a Category 12 typhoon, completely changed beyond recognition.

The troops quickly entered the position, and the Japanese warships shelled again. It must be to cover another landing. How big is the scale this time, and how many more waves are there? If the Japanese Marine Corps does this again and again, the troops will be stuck here.

!

In Tang Qiuli's telescope, the Japanese dispatched more than 20 landing craft this time. Damn it, they spent a lot of money. This is about 3,000 people. I guess this is the last time, so let's finish it off quickly.

, I have been thinking about this direction for a long time. I still don’t know what the situation is like on the other side of the Yalu River?

Why are there more than a dozen small black dots in front of the landing craft? After getting closer, Tang Qiuli saw clearly that this was the Japanese's special internal fire boat (amphibious tank), similar to the amphibious tanks of later generations.

It's just that the performance, firepower, and armor thickness are not up to par.

When did the little devils tinker with this kind of thing? Fortunately, I have a weapon to restrain armored targets. Otherwise, it’s hard to say what the final result will be today! But now we have about a thousand troops. It’s a bit difficult to deal with more than 3,000 little devils.

Difficulty!

He immediately adjusted his deployment. The mortars were specifically responsible for bombarding the Japanese landing craft and trying to sink them all. Even if you still had troops, you couldn't bring them over. The anti-tank guns were specifically responsible for destroying the Japanese amphibious tanks, and the rest of the troops were responsible for attacking the Japanese marines.

He particularly emphasized that we must wait for the Japanese landing craft to unload the Japanese mortars before firing again. If we fire early, the Japanese warships will burst with shells, and we will all die here. All troops are waiting for his order to fire.

The Japanese's amphibious tank was the first to land on the beach. Its tracks rolled up waves of fine sand. The stubby muzzle fired out rounds of artillery shells. The shells fell on the position. From time to time, soldiers' bodies were torn apart by the shells, and blood seeped into their cells.

The sand, under the sunlight, quickly condenses into dazzling red patches.

None of the soldiers dodge or move. Even if the blood of the sacrificed comrades around them splashes on their faces, it does not cause fear. They have lost too many comrades and partners, and their hearts have become as hard as steel.

Everyone stared at the Japs swarming on the beach with hateful eyes, and listened carefully to the commander's orders. They couldn't help but feel a little anxious. The Japs' tanks were approaching, and soon they would be on top of them. How could the commander still respond?

No order to fire?

The Japanese amphibious tank roared, spitting steel and fire, and rushed towards the troop position. The position was shrouded in gunpowder smoke. The Japanese landing craft finally approached the landing point. A large group of Japanese soldiers poured down like a tide. The light and heavy machine guns serving as fire cover also opened fire.

.

Battle beside Tang Qiuli was holding a rifle steadily, looking at Brother Qiu Li eagerly, waiting for his order.

This moment seemed to be very long. The Japanese amphibious tanks had already seen the soldiers on the position, formed a line and stopped, and then slowly turned to the turret. The black muzzle was aimed at the soldiers. On the landing craft, there was a steady stream of Japanese coming down.

Tang Qiuli's palm slashed downwards, and there was a crisp gunshot. The Japanese flag soldier at the front was hit by a bullet in the head. He turned over like a piece of wood and fell down. The plaster flag in his hand was thrown out.

So far.

Just like an athlete hearing the starting gun, in an instant, the silent beach came to life, with tongues of fire shooting out from the crater, from the broken wall, and from the beams that were still smoking.

The first thing to be hit was the Japanese amphibious tank. The soldiers operating the anti-tank guns were already on fire. Seeing that the Japanese shells were about to hit their comrades, when they heard the gunfire,

Pull the trigger hard.

The Japanese amphibious tanks never had a chance to fire anymore. Each vehicle was hit by three or four high-explosive bullets, first armor-piercing bullets, then armor-piercing bullets and armor-breaking bullets. The armor of the little Japanese tanks had not yet been

The thickness of the tank.

If it could withstand such a beating, a silent explosion sounded in the turret, thick smoke came out from the inside, and then a fire ignited, and then exploded violently, burning into balls of fireballs, one by one, the little devil had more than 20 amphibious tanks

, all reimbursed.

Around the Japanese landing craft, water columns suddenly exploded into the sky. Soon, artillery shells fell on the boat, blasting the Japanese light and heavy machine guns responsible for shooting and covering the landing troops into the sky. Then, the landing craft exploded into gleaming flames and thick smoke.

The commander of the mortar unit was a very smart young man. He divided the mortars he brought into groups, and every two guns bombed a landing craft. The remaining ten guns were used for maneuvers to escape quickly.

landing craft.

This battle is easy to fight. The Japanese landing craft are unarmed and cannot fight back. When the situation is unfavorable, they will start their engines and run back. They don't even have time to retract the iron fence, and they don't care whether all the marines have finished landing.

It's easy to think, but it still has to turn around. Mortar shells landed accurately on the landing craft. Some cabs were hit. The Japanese engine soldiers were thrown high into the sea. The landing craft lost control and spun.

Wandering around, he plunged into the beach.

The rest were so beaten that they were on fire and couldn't move at first sight. Only two boats were emitting thick smoke and fled the beach as quickly as possible. The soldiers of the mortar unit were anxious and wanted to run away? How could such a good thing happen?

Several mortars quickly climbed to the high point. Braving the intense Japanese firepower, the soldiers simply put their arms around the barrel of the gun in order to increase the elevation angle and increase the range. The barrel, which became hot due to rapid firing, burned

The warrior's arms were filled with smoke.
