Age of Conquest Reborn

Major General Battelle, commander of the armored force of the **Division, observed the battlefield situation and discovered the problem. According to the attack speed of the fourth and sixth brigade of the second attack wave, fighting at the breakthrough, at this time, the breakthrough should be widened to about five kilometers.

, However, the attack positions of the two tank brigades did not change much, which meant that the battle at the Japanese army's first position fell into a stalemate.

Battle retracted his body and picked up the intercom, "The Fourth Brigade, the Sixth Brigade, why don't you quickly expand the breach and report your situation?

In the earphones, Major General Hao Mengting, commander of the 4th Tank Brigade, was heard saying angrily, "Report to the commander, the little devils are so inhumane. Almost all firepower points and shelters are built in private houses to cooperate with our attack."

The infantry brothers said that there are residents in the houses, and we don’t dare to fire, so we can only bite them bit by bit. My brigade has lost sixteen tanks. Commander, let’s use the enemy’s weapon!”

Battle frowned and ordered: "The third and sixth brigades, temporarily stop fighting to widen the breach, consolidate the existing positions, and wait for orders!"

Then, he immediately called the Hong Kong Campaign Headquarters, "Division Commander, I am Battelle, I have an important situation report!"

After listening to Battle's report, Tang Qiuli frowned. This was an unexpected situation. Neither Yu Deshui's intelligence department nor Shan Hu and the others who had sneaked into Hong Kong had detailed information in this regard. They had already expected that Hong Kong's

It was impossible for the Japanese army not to take strict precautions, but they did not expect that the Japanese would take Hong Kong citizens as hostages.

If these factors were not taken into consideration, just relying on the artillery fire of the Japanese division, no matter how many tricks the Japanese army played, they would not be able to sustain it for even an hour under the overwhelming shells. However, Tang Qiuli had to worry that he was not cold-blooded enough to let ten

Tens of thousands of Hong Kong citizens were buried together with tens of thousands of Japanese soldiers. It was obviously impossible to fight the battle according to the original way.

After thinking nervously for a while, Tang Qiuli spoke directly to Battelle, "Bat'er, change your tactics. The tank troops will leave a small number of troops to guard the breach. In such a battle, tanks will not be able to exert their power!"

Then he said to Chief of Staff Zhao Yuhe: "Yuhe, order Tian Shangxi, the troops of the Guangzhou Garrison District, with a brigade of troops, are responsible for clearing out the Japanese troops on the first position. Remind Tian Shangxi not to rush to take advantage of the enemy."

When we come down, we can divide and encircle them first, and then slowly eat them up. The Japanese troops in the outer positions of the New Territories will not receive reinforcements, and we and these bastards can afford it!"

"Order other troops in the Guangzhou Garrison Area to continue attacking in depth. After breaking through a Japanese position, they will be handled in this way. This is the case with the first position. They will also encounter the same difficulties next. Order the first

The troops who are launching the wave of assaults should not hesitate to break through the Japanese army's peripheral positions in one go and leave the task of clearing out the remaining enemies to the follow-up troops. After they break through the Japanese army's defensive positions, they will quickly penetrate according to the predetermined plan and completely disrupt the Japanese army's street fighting system!"

Tang Qiuli had the capital to first encircle and then eliminate the Japanese troops on the outer defensive positions of Hong Kong. In this Hong Kong battle, ten infantry brigades and more than 150,000 troops were used. No matter which direction, they formed an absolute advantage.

troops.

The order was issued to each unit, and Battelle ordered: "The fourth and sixth brigades each will leave one regiment of troops to guard the breakthrough, and the remaining regiments will move forward to defend against the Japanese army's deep attack!"

The Japanese army's second defensive position also could not withstand the armor-piercing torrent tactics commanded by Battelle. Two breaches about two kilometers wide were quickly opened. The troops who had been attacking the arrows were like a whirlwind, without even the slightest pause.

, passed through the Japanese army's position, and rushed towards the Japanese army's third position. Behind them, there were fierce gunshots and explosions.

Immediately, the troops from a brigade in the Guangzhou Garrison Area who followed up followed up and took the medicine according to the prescription. They were first divided and surrounded, and then slowly nibbled. The Japanese troops deployed on the front line of the New Territories, totaling more than 20,000 people, were breached in two positions one after another.

After that, more than 13,000 Japanese soldiers were divided and surrounded in two positions. The battle was still fierce. It was only a matter of time before these Japanese troops were eliminated!

After the first position was lost, Lieutenant General Paul Garvin, commander of the Japanese 37th Division and Governor of Hong Kong, received a call from the commander of the forward forces, Major General Chang Jiangcun of the 23rd Brigade.

Afterwards, Lieutenant General Pauli was first shocked, and then became furious. On the phone, he cursed Major General Jiangcun, calling him a bloody noun.

No wonder Lieutenant General Pauli was so angry. Thirty minutes had passed since the first position was lost, and that damn Jiangcun called him. In these thirty minutes, the man who commanded more than 20,000 troops

Imperial Army Major General, what is he doing?

On the other end of the phone, Commander Jiangcun Brigade was also very angry. His brigade headquarters was located on the second line of defense. When he heard the sound of gunfire from the direction of the first line of defense, which was more than ten kilometers away,

, he immediately made a call to Colonel Takeshita, commander of the forward forces.

But Takeshita Colonel's report was chaotic, and his voice was full of panic: "Your Excellency, brigade commander, the front position of our regiment was suddenly attacked by countless tanks of the ** Division, and the troops have not yet reacted.

By that time, Chinese tanks had already appeared in front of us, and there were tanks everywhere. All the brigades of our regiment were involved in fierce fighting, and the specific situation of the battle is unknown!"

Major General Jiangcun burst out like Lieutenant General Pauli, "Baga! As a soldier of the Japanese Empire, how can you be so panicked in the face of war? In your hands, you have a regiment plus two attached ones.

How could a large group of more than 6,000 troops be attacked by the Chinese troops all of a sudden? What is your forward observation post for? Didn’t you detect the movements of the Chinese troops in advance? "

A series of accusations, like artillery shells, were thrown at the poor Colonel Takeshita. Major General Emura was not satisfied yet, and was about to continue scolding him when he heard Colonel Takeshita yelling in panic on the phone: "Your Excellency, brigade commander, the Chinese tanks,

It has already arrived at the door of my headquarters." Immediately, there was a burst of fierce gunfire, and then the call stopped abruptly, and there was no more movement.

As the highest commander in the New Territories direction, facing the defensive positions of the Guangzhou Garrison Division of the ** Division, Major General Jiangcun has the authority to mobilize all troops. He does not intend to tell Lieutenant General Pauli about the matter first. If the first position is lost, he himself

He took back the responsibility and immediately organized the troops in the second line position to launch a counterattack. He picked up the phone and was about to issue an order when the tank troops of the ** Division had already rushed in front of him.

This time, let alone retaking the front-line position, his position immediately fell into a fierce battle. He had no choice but to report the battle situation to Lieutenant General Pauli. As expected, he was stunned.

You can't get away with his stinking curses. The rank of official is crushing people to death. Major General Jiangcun can only listen. After a lot of effort, Lieutenant General finished spraying excrement.

Major General Jiangcun was about to report his plan when a staff officer stumbled in and shouted: "Your Excellency, Brigade Commander, the situation is not good. Our position has been broken through by the tank troops of the ** Division. Things are happening everywhere.

Fierce fighting, enemy troops have surrounded us!"

"Hani?" Major General Jiangcun stared at him with disbelief, his expression dull. He must be having a nightmare. In less than an hour and a half, the two positions held by more than 10,000 imperial troops were made of paper.

Similarly, it was broken through by the troops of the Japanese Army. How could it be possible?

However, the increasingly fierce gunshots outside reminded him that this was a ruthless fact, "Your Excellency, Division Commander! Your Excellency, Division Commander!" Major General Jiangcun shouted into the phone, but there was nothing on the receiver.

In the echo, there was only the sound of "squeaking" electricity, and then the sound of electricity disappeared. Major General Jiangcun knew in his heart that he could not evacuate here. The phone line was cut off by the Chinese soldiers, which meant that he was surrounded!

Lieutenant General Pauli did not have much time to waste on the Jiangcun brigade. In more than an hour, the ** division troops even broke through the two lines of defense carefully designed by him. It was terrible. Such a terrifying attack power.

Can the third line of defense be the last line to stop the Chinese demon Tang Qiuli's troops from breaking into the New Territories and Kowloon city?

The call was made to the commander of the third line of defense, Major General Shintomo Yokota, leader of the Yokota Detachment of the Marine Corps. The Yokota Detachment is a brigade-level organization with three Marine regiments under its jurisdiction, with a strength of more than 7,000.

As for the Yokota Detachment, Lieutenant General Pauli cannot reprimand and scold the Yokota Detachment as he treats his subordinates, even though in name, the Yokota Detachment is the order of battle of his 37th Division.

However, Lieutenant General Pauli knew very well that Rear Admiral Yokota might not listen to what he said. They belong to different systems. The navy and the army have always been at odds. When Hong Kong was captured, the navy stepped in and wanted a share of the pie.

This Yokota detachment was placed by his side to check and balance himself. Originally, when Lieutenant General Pauli deployed the defense of Hong Kong, he placed the Yokota detachment on the first line of defense facing Guangzhou on the grounds that the Marine Corps had strong combat effectiveness.

My own intentions are good, that is, to use the naval forces to take the lead. Once the Japanese division's troops come over, my own troops can still have buffer time, but Major General Yokota is not an easy guy to deal with.

The telegram was sent directly to the Navy Department. As a result, the General Staff Headquarters of the headquarters came with an order. Not only was it a violent training, but it was also clearly pointed out that the Navy had already filed an imperial complaint in front of His Majesty the Emperor, saying that he was taking advantage of the opportunity.

Eliminate dissidents.

In the conscience of heaven and earth, Lieutenant General Pauli almost died unjustly. After that, Yokota's new friend looked arrogant when he saw him. Lieutenant General Pauli grabbed the phone and said very politely: "Is this General Yokota?

, I am the commander of the Poly Division, and I have important enemy information to report!"
