Age of Conquest Reborn

At night, the city of Hong Kong is full of fierce gunfire, and clouds of fire rise from time to time among the city's high-rise buildings. Looking from Tang Qiuli's current position, it is a spectacular scene of fierce fighting at night. However, according to

Reports from various brigades indicate that the progress of the battle is relatively slow.

On the Hong Kong battlefield, the troops invested by the ** Division have reached ten brigades with a strength of more than 160,000 people. Compared with the Japanese army's strength, the ratio exceeds five to one, and it has occupied the absolute initiative on the battlefield.

Accordingly, the division commander Tang Qiuli issued the following order to all participating troops, "In view of the fact that the Japanese guarding troops have been divided and surrounded, each attacking force has been divided and surrounded. Each encircled area is in a relatively isolated state. The Hong Kong campaign has entered the stage of urban street fighting. In order to avoid troops

In the event of unnecessary heavy casualties and civilian casualties, each unit can slow down the pace of attack and do not need to rush to capture the existing Japanese barricade positions. They should give full play to infantry firepower and achieve maximum results with minimum casualties, division commander Tang Qiuli said.

"

This adjustment of deployment is very timely and necessary. The so-called "trapped beast still fights". The Japanese are crazy in their bones. They will not put down their weapons and surrender just because they are surrounded. If the red-eyed troops attack by force, they will definitely be able to capture all the Japanese troops.

However, the heavy casualties would be difficult for Tang Qiuli to accept. There was no need to be so reckless. The troops had plenty of time to kill all the Japanese troops bit by bit.

Slowing down the pace of the attack also allowed the commanders of each brigade to calm down and use the best tactics and the minimum cost of casualties to achieve the result of annihilating the Japanese defensive forces. What's more, Tang Qiuli also had a trump card, so

It was Lieutenant General Paul Gavin, the captured commander of the 37th Division of the Japanese Army. If he could issue the order for the surrender of the Japanese army, Tang Qiuli would definitely not risk the lives of soldiers to conquer the enemy just to show the so-called force.

Japanese barricade fortifications.

He was waiting for the news about Deshui and Shen Jun. With no reinforcements from the Japanese army approaching and no Japanese army to rely on for a long time, Tang Qiuli had a lot of time to slowly wear out the remaining Japanese 37th Division.

The tens of thousands of people who have fallen, from the outlier Paul Gavin

Judging from the behavior of leaving more than 30,000 subordinates and escaping hastily with his treasure, he is a guy who cherishes his life. Yu Deshui and Shen Jun are very successful. This is very good, although it is not a bloodless occupation of Hong Kong.

It also saves the effort behind!

When the division commander's order was issued to all units, Major General Liu Hongzhang, commander of the 1st Brigade of the Directly Affiliated Corps, was staring at a building in front of him with burning eyes. There was the largest Japanese army on the route of the 1st Brigade.

If there were only a few hundred Japanese soldiers inside the most stubborn barricade, Liu Hongzhang would not take it seriously at all.

He brought an infantry battalion, plus a brigade guard battalion, with attached rocket launchers and recoilless rifles. They are all sharp weapons for attacking fortifications and killers of street fighting fortifications. The two battalions have more than 1,800 troops. If they take down this fortress, they will not be able to defeat it.

What an effort!

However, Liu Hongzhang, who had an absolute advantage in both military strength and firepower, could no longer defeat him once he reached this point. There was only one reason. There were thousands of Hong Kong citizens in this building. A single bombardment would surely destroy them.

The little devil exploded into the sky, but the residents inside were also unlucky. Looking at the building with tongues of fire spitting out from every window, and then looking at the bloody corpses of more than twenty soldiers on the open ground in front of the building, Liu Hongzhang almost wanted to

Rampage.

The location of this building is really fucking bad. It happens to be blocking the crossing route of most of the troops of the First Brigade. Of course, the troops can take a detour, change directions, and continue crossing, but that will delay more than two hours.

He, Liu Hongzhang, the 1st Brigade, and the 15,000-6,000 brothers cannot afford to lose this person if he fails to fulfill the orders of the division headquarters and fails to arrive at the designated area on time.

After staring at the Japanese fortifications for a while, Liu Hongzhang seemed to suddenly remember something. On the walkie-talkie, he called out Major General Chu Ziye, commander of the 4th Brigade, and shouted at the top of his voice, "I said Chu Da

Guys, how is the speed at which your brigade is moving through? Have you encountered any difficulties? Do you need me to go to the reinforcements? They are all brothers. If you have any difficulties, just speak up, you're welcome!"

What Liu Hongzhang said was ironic. He wanted to find out the progress rate of the 4th Brigade, but it was difficult to ask clearly. The entire twelve brigades of the directly-affiliated corps were transferred to the 1st Brigade and the 4th Brigade to participate in Hong Kong.

In the battle, he didn't want to be left behind by Chu Ziye's fourth brigade, otherwise, even with the big man Chu's mouth, he would be beaten to death!

As for the three brigades of the Sulu Mobile Corps and the several brigades of the Guangzhou Garrison Area, Liu Hongzhang is not too concerned about it. The directions of attack and penetration are different, and the speed of progress has little to do with him. In this direction,

There are only his own first brigade and Chu Ziye's fourth brigade. If you don't compete with him, who should you compete with?

Chu Ziye's brain reacted very quickly. As soon as Liu Hongzhang said a few words, he roughly guessed what he meant. He chuckled sinisterly a few times and replied slowly: "I said Liu Da

My voice, don't do this to me. You've hit a hard nut to crack.

, Where are you choking? It doesn't matter. You are right, brother. I will immediately send a telegram to the division commander and request to expand the mission scope of the fourth brigade. I, Chu Ziye, will take care of the originally planned insertion area of ​​your first brigade.

Between us brothers, who is following whom, don’t you think so?”

After finishing speaking, without waiting for Liu Hongzhang's reply, he cut off contact with a proud look. Liu Hongzhang was so angry that he had no place to express his anger and shouted loudly: "You two battalion commanders, come here!" Infantry Battalion Battalion

The commander and the guard battalion commander rushed over and asked, "Brigade commander, what are your orders?"

Liu Hongzhang pointed at the Japanese stronghold that was still spitting fire and looked extremely arrogant in the night, and said with a sullen face: "Listen carefully, take out four platoons of troops, attack again, organize all the troops

Special marksman, one person is responsible for each floor.

Use a window to kill the Japs’ firepower point. If the cannons cannot be used, we will use guns. As long as we can rush to the bottom of the building, it will be easy to deal with. That is the blind spot for the Japs to shoot. Then, we will attack the inside of the building and fight for it floor by floor. Go and prepare.

Come on! Wait for my order and then start the attack!"

The troops began to get busy. More than a hundred special shooters arrived at the Japanese stronghold and found shooting positions. The troops preparing to attack were already lying behind the cover. The light and heavy machine guns responsible for fire cover were aimed at the building with their dark muzzles.

Everyone's eyes were fixed on the brigade commander. Liu Hongzhang was gearing up. He had already made up his mind to take down this thorn in his side at the cost of more than a hundred casualties!

At this moment, the brigade chief of staff, Colonel Ye Xinwen, hurried over and said, "Brigade commander, don't start taking action yet. The division commander is sending an urgent message. All units must adjust their campaign deployment immediately!"

Liu Hongzhang quickly read the telegram, slapped his thigh, and said to Ye Xinwen: "Old Ye, the command from the commander is really timely. That's good. Don't worry about not being able to complete the task. Little devil, I have to simmer slowly to cook you guys."

You bastard, it's too hard to cook!"

Then, he shouted: "Stop the action. The special shooters continue to block the Japanese firepower. As long as the Japs show up, I will knock him out. The other troops will withdraw outside the Japs' fire range and surround me!"

At this time, Liu Hongzhang's mood had calmed down. Since the division commander had no order and he had to complete the task of dividing and surrounding the Japs within the prescribed time, it would be easy to handle. He said to Ye Xinwen: "Chief of Staff, order the intersecting troops behind.

, bypass this stronghold and continue to perform the insertion mission, you can take command from the front, I will stay here with the guard battalion and the third battalion of the first regiment, and fight with these hundreds of little devils until the end!"

Ye Xinwen and several guards hurriedly disappeared around the corner of the building area. After several of the most arrogant Japanese firepower points were knocked out by the special shooters of the 1st Brigade, the Japanese soldiers also learned their lesson and quietly hid in the blind spots.

, as long as the troops of the ** division did not attack, they would not fire a shot, determined to fight Liu Hongzhang.

The sound of gunfire fell silent. The dark building was so dark that there was no trace of light. You could faintly hear the sobs of women and the cries of children whose mouths were covered with all their strength. The silence here was mixed with the continuous gunfire all around.

Compared with the sound, it is more depressing and irritating!

Liu Hongzhang frowned and observed for a while. No matter how he observed, he was not absolutely sure that he could capture this small building with hundreds of soldiers without causing harm to the residents in the building and causing heavy casualties to the troops.

In the building where the Japanese were holding fast, the division commander's order did not urge the troops to rush to attack, but he was wasted here, there was nothing he could do, and it was no big deal!

He called over a soldier from the Guangzhou Security Area infiltration unit who was responsible for guiding the road, and asked: "Do you know the basic structure of this building? There are no secret passages or sewers that can lead directly to the inside of the building?"

This soldier from the local army was obviously a major general-level officer whom he had rarely seen in ordinary times. He also personally led the team. He was fighting in the hail of bullets. He looked very nervous. He shook his head and replied: "Mucky! I am."

That’s not the case here!”

Liu Hongzhang had two big heads. He couldn't understand what he was saying at all. However, when the soldier shook his head, he understood what it meant. He waved his hand and asked the soldier to retreat to a safe place, the open space in front of the building.

On the ground, the corpses of the fallen soldiers kept advancing and fell on the charging road. This stimulated Liu Hongzhang's heart and caused him to feel sharp pains. The blood vessels on his temples were "bumping"!

As long as they can pass through the open space in front of the building, avoid the firepower of the Japs, and enter the building, all problems will be easily solved. In this open area, I have already lost more than 30 soldiers. If I continue like this

The fight continued, and there was no guarantee that hundreds of lives would be lost. He rushed into the building, gritted his teeth, and asked for help. He ordered the communications soldier, "Call me immediately to the commander of the armored forces, Major General Battle. I want to speak to him!"
