Age of Conquest Reborn

After Shang Jinzhu fired a rocket, he immediately put away the rocket launcher, took the ammunition hand with him, and immediately moved to another crater. He steadily set up the rocket launcher and aimed at the target. Another British tank appeared all over his body.

Black smoke and flames.

Just after Shang Jinzhu fired, when all the British tanks stopped, another rocket launcher group fired at the same time, and several British tanks were hit. However, Shang Jinzhu also exposed his position and was not hit.

The British tank that hit the gun barrel sprayed out a stream of flames, "Boom, boom, boom!" Several low-trajectory shells exploded at Shang Jinzhu's position.

The ammunition hand was so shocked that his head was buzzing. When he woke up, he found his platoon leader lying in the crater covered in blood. The ammunition hand crawled over. Shang Jinzhu was unconscious and his left leg was from the knee down.

, disappeared without a trace, no one knew how many wounds there were on his body, and he was still holding tightly to the exploded rocket launcher in his hand.

Adams was startled by several huge explosions and hurriedly raised his telescope. In the camera lens, the tanks participating in the first wave of attacks were all ignited with raging fires. The explosive ammunition made the invulnerable tanks

The steel fortress exploded into balls of fire, which was extremely dazzling in the night.

Adams sighed and murmured in an inaudible voice: "It finally begins!" Then he closed his eyes and waited for the cannonballs to fall from the sky and send him to heaven.

However, after a few minutes, nothing happened. The sound of gunfire on the battlefield was still fierce. Adams could tell that none of it was the sound of heavy artillery shelling. He was confused and asked several senior staff officers around him, "You guys

Who can tell me what is going on? Why did the troops of the ** Division not use artillery, and how were our tanks destroyed?"

No one could answer, and Adams himself was even more confused. What on earth did Xiduo's ** division commander want to do without using the heavy artillery? He could never guess what the insidious and cunning Chinese were thinking.

The command post of the 10th Brigade of the Sulu Mobile Corps. The brigade commander, Major General Wang Yiwu, put down the phone with an ugly face and said to the Chief of Staff: "What kind of battle is this? The British tanks are coming, and the rocket launcher squads of each company are here.

, most of them had casualties. I received a call from the commander of the second regiment. Shang Jinzhu, the cannon platoon leader of their first battalion and third company, lost a leg and is now undergoing first aid! It’s still unclear whether he can survive!"

After saying that, like a trapped animal, he walked around the command post a few times, and then said: "No, I have to ask the division commander for instructions on our artillery. If we don't attack the infantry of the British and Indian troops, why not attack the tanks? I

You can't let my soldiers trade their lives for a few British tanks, right?"

The chief of staff smiled bitterly and shook his head. He said: "Brigade commander, don't bother. I just saw the division commander's order. The two artillery brigades, as well as the heavy artillery regiment of our brigade, have been transferred to the direction of East India. This

No, the order is in my hands!"

Wang Yiwu grabbed the order. After reading it, he patted his forehead and said distressedly: "What is the division commander going to do? He transferred the two artillery brigades. He also transferred my heavy artillery regiment.

Could it be that in order to deal with the tens of thousands of British and Indian soldiers on the opposite side, we just rely on these guys? This battle is really boring!"

Then, he said to the chief of staff: "Order the forward troops. Without my order, they cannot attack and just stick to their positions. The regiment has suffered heavy casualties. The regiment commander comes to me to explain!"

As the British and Indian tanks all turned into a pile of burning scrap metal, the British and Indian soldiers who lost their cover were staggered by a dense burst of mortar shells and heavy machine gun bullets. Half an hour later, the soldiers who attacked Xiduo

The British and Indian soldiers left thousands of corpses and dozens of burning tanks behind, and had to retreat.

The soldiers of the British and Indian soldiers did not have the ferocity from the core of the Japanese soldiers. Fighting such a battle, especially at night, was not what they were good at. On the blocking position of the Japanese division, bullets were as dense as a rainstorm.

, the falling mortar shells kept screaming strangely, drawing dark red trajectories in the night, exploding into deathly clouds of smoke and flames.

Even if you have the courage, your companions around you will turn into fragmented corpses with the exploding smoke balls and screaming bullets, or bloody people with holes all over their bodies. Their lives will disappear in front of your eyes. The British and Indian Army

The soldiers' confidence was shaken, and the fierceness they had mustered at the beginning had long since disappeared after losing the cover of tanks and artillery fire.

Seeing the soldiers retreating like a tide, Adams went crazy. He kept ordering the troops to attack or attack. He would reorganize the disabled troops and then continue to attack. He wanted to fill the land of Xiduo with the corpses of his soldiers.

They drowned the soldiers of the Army Division with blood. They fought bloody battles all night long, and the sound of gunfire also rang out all night long.

The British and Indian troops fought very hard. In contrast, the five brigades of the Sulu Mobile Corps of the ** Division fought very easily. After destroying all the tanks of the British and Indian troops, the blocking battle became easier.

Without the armored assault force, it became very easy to repel every attack by the British and Indian troops.

Due to the limited terrain conditions of Xiduo, and because we only need to defend the eastern part of both sides of the Hukang River Valley, each brigade can only place one regiment of troops on its defensive position at a time, with four regiments in each brigade taking turns.

After repelling an attack, they came down to rest. The sound of gunfire was rumbling here. Behind Xiduo, the rotating troops had finished their meals and went to bed when it was time to go to bed. They were not affected by the battle at all.

At around three o'clock in the morning that night, after Tang Qiuli had a good night's sleep, he felt refreshed, made a few moves around him, and walked out of the house. The warm evening breeze of the Hukang Valley was mixed with the smell of gunpowder smoke.

Er, floating in the night, on the streets of Xiduo, groups of soldiers ran by from time to time, but there was no tense atmosphere at all.

Listening to the fierce gunfire to the east of Xiduo, watching the firelight that turned half the sky red, and the huge explosions echoing in the night sky, Tang Qiuli couldn't help but shook his head, thinking to himself, "When will Alexander,

He has become so crazy. What happened to stimulate him to lose his mind? The British and Indian troops started attacking around six o'clock yesterday evening. It has been almost ten hours since the attack, and the attack has not stopped yet."

For Alexander, this was an attack with no chance of winning. His troops, consisting of five brigades with nearly 80,000 men, were firmly entrenched and waiting for work. They had sufficient ammunition and supplies, but they kept attacking.

For three days and three nights, the troops did not worry about lack of ammunition. Le Yiqin's transport aircraft unit was ready for air supply at any time.

And what resources does Alexander have? The troops who retreated in a great defeat, marched long distances, and suffered repeated air attacks. The physical strength and morale of the soldiers dropped to the lowest point, and all the artillery and tanks were lost. Yet they still attacked Xiduo desperately.

What's the point? Couldn't he see that his troops in Xiduo were just to block his retreat, so how could he give up so easily? Tang Qiuli couldn't help but feel that Alexander's actions were not worth it.

Listening to the sound of gunfire, Tang Qiuli's heart began to heat up. He turned around and said to Shan Hu who was following closely: "Huzi, how about we go to the front line with a few special guards? We also go to the 10th Brigade Wang Yiwu."

Over there! We fought almost all night, and the guy doesn’t know what he’s like anymore?”

Shan Hu grinned happily and said: "Xiao Qiu, your heart is itching again? How about we go directly to the front line? Join the battle. If you are lucky, you can fight for a while. That would be so enjoyable!"

Tang Qiuli glanced at Shanhu warily and said, "Huzi, don't tempt me. As soon as I left, you immediately went to Brother Qiu Sheng to tell the truth, right? When did you learn this?

Are you cunning?"

Shan Hu rolled his big eyes and looked like he was smart. The two were bickering there. Chief of Staff Zhao Yuhe came over and said: "Commander, I received a telegram from Deputy Commander Tang. The 10th Brigade and the 9th Brigade of the Directly Affiliated Corps

The two leading regiments of the brigade have arrived near Xiduo, and the follow-up troops will reach the current position at about 8 o'clock this morning."

Tang Qiuli said: "They came very quickly. Xiao Jinshan and Fang Yuanshan heard Xi Duo playing lively. These two people may be in a hurry. What other arrangements does Deputy Commander Tang have?"

Zhao Yuhe replied: "Deputy Commander Tang said in the telegram that he planned to take the lead in attacking the British and Indian troops with sudden movements with the two vanguard regiments of the 9th and 10th brigades at around 5 o'clock in the morning.

Its rear wing was used to reduce the pressure of the Cido blockade, and at the same time, it pressed Alexander and asked for help from the troops stationed in India as soon as possible."

Tang Qiuli shook his head and said with certainty: "This is not Brother Qiu Sheng's own intention. It must be Xiao Jinshan and Fang Yuanshan who made such arrangements after seeing Xi Duo's fierce fight and their hands itching.

Otherwise, with Brother Qiu Sheng's steady personality and style, he will never launch any attack before the main force of the Corps is directly under his control, and he also knows that there is no pressure on Xiduo."

Tang Qiuli was really left guessing. Less than ten kilometers away from the Xiduo battlefield, Xiao Jinshan looked in the direction of Xiduo while talking to Fang Yuanshan, commander of the 10th Brigade on the other side of the Hukang River Valley.

"Lao Fang, I don't know whether the battle plan we reported to him was approved by Deputy Commander Tang. Xi Duo was fighting in full swing, so we just watched helplessly, and we were too busy to panic. The two of us reinforced the group with nearly 9,000 people.

People, take advantage of the British and Indian soldiers being unprepared and stab them in the back. Tell me, this effect is not better than fighting for half a day in Xiduo?"

In a jungle on the other side of the Hukang River Valley, Fang Yuanshan drank water and said slowly: "Old Xiao, don't be too optimistic. Deputy Commander Tang and the division commander have different styles of commanding and fighting. Seek stability. Our battle plan is not the same."

We will definitely get approval, just wait and see, even if we fight, I guess I have to wait until the troops behind us arrive."

Xiao Jinshan was anxious and said: "The cucumbers and vegetables will be cold by the time they catch up." Just as he was saying this, the sound of gunfire from the direction of Xiduo suddenly weakened and gradually subsided.
