Age of Conquest Reborn

Chapter 1654 Tank Support

On the outskirts of Hong Kong, where Battelle's armored troops were on standby, General Tang Qiuli, commander of the ** Division, had just been restricted by his deputy commander of the Special Guards, Lieutenant Colonel Fu Qiang. If it weren't for the dignified general commander,

, took the initiative to compromise. At this moment, he should be in the armored command vehicle, being closely protected by the special guards.

The cause of the matter is very simple. As the attacking troops completed the division and encirclement of the Japanese defense system in Hong Kong, the battle of Hong Kong was basically finalized. Hong Kong was completely occupied. It was just a matter of time. Tang Qiuli's heart began to feel alive again.

He said to Zhao Yuhe: "Chief of Staff, do you want to go to the front line and watch a real battle? Urban street fighting is a university subject."

Of course Zhao Yuhe wanted to go. After being transferred from the East Point Headquarters to the Division Headquarters, he became increasingly far away from the sound of gunfire and had the opportunity to observe the battlefield situation closely. Of course he would not miss it. A division commander and a chief of staff, two

The two hit it off immediately, and got into the car and were about to leave. Battelle rolled his eyes a few times, wanting to stop him, but he was afraid of not being able to stop him. He was really worried about his brother's safety. Fighting was happening everywhere in downtown Hong Kong. What if something happened?

Accident, how could this happen? I still regret it to death!

When he was anxious and helpless, Fu Qiang, the deputy captain of the Special Guards, spoke. His sturdy body blocked the armored command vehicle directly, and said with a serious face: "I'm sorry, division commander. According to the division's protection regulations for you,

You cannot enter the area where fighting is taking place, and the Chief of Staff, and you cannot go to dangerous places. Please ask the two officers to get out of the car, otherwise, I will order the special guards to take coercive measures!"

Tang Qiuli was stunned. After he came to his senses, he said with some displeasure: "Fu Qiang, I order you to take your people and follow me immediately. The city is already under the control of our troops. Another ride

What kind of danger can an armored command vehicle pose? I’m not just a piece of paper!”

In fact, Tang Qiuli has his own ideas. He is really thinking about Shan Hu. According to the area currently controlled by the army, he only needs to pass through several fighting areas to reach the secret contact point where Shan Hu is recovering from his injuries. Such an opportunity,

He really couldn't give up. If he didn't see Shan Hu safe and sound with his own eyes, he wouldn't be able to eat or sleep well!

Fu Qiang was unmoved and continued to say seriously: "Division commander and chief of staff, please two officers, please abide by the regulations of the division headquarters." After saying this, he felt that it was not strong enough, so he waved his hand and a dozen special guards came up.

Fu Qiang looked at Tang Qiuli and Zhao Yuhe and went to order the special guards: "Execute my order. If the division commander and chief of staff act without authorization, special security measures will be taken immediately. Do you understand?"

Of course the special guards understood that Captain Fu Qiang was responsible for the safety of the division commander, so why didn't they feel the same way? They all agreed in a loud voice: "Yes, Captain. Resolutely execute the order and be ready to enter special security procedures at any time!"

Tang Qiuli stared at Fu Qiang for a long time, then smiled and said: "Okay. Captain Fu Qiang, you win. It's okay if I don't go. Yu He, it seems we can't leave. Get off the car and rest."

!”

A general division commander, a major general chief of staff, and two core figures of the ** division, under the supervision of Fu Qiang, got out of the car obediently. Fu Qiang was still uneasy and did not receive the car key in his hand. Battelle came over.

, patted Fu Qiang's shoulder, secretly extended his thumb, with a look of approval on his face.

Fu Qiang wiped the sweat from his forehead and whispered to Battelle: "Bat'er, I was really sweating just now. If the division commander gets angry, it will be really difficult to handle." They were all veterans who fought in the Indo-China Peninsula from the Northeast.

Brothers, when talking to each other, don't hide it.

Battelle leaned over his head and replied in a low voice: "Fu Qiang, you are right. You have a great responsibility, so you must learn from Brother Huzi." If he had anything else to say, the communications staff officer came back and said, "Report to the commander, directly under the corps."

Brigadier Liu Hongzhang of the First Brigade wants to speak with you!"

Tang Qiuli and Zhao Yuhe also heard the words of the communications staff. They looked at each other and Tang Qiuli said: "Yuhe, it seems that Liu Hongzhang is in trouble. He asked Battelle for tank assistance. The trouble is not over yet."

You kid! With Liu Hongzhang’s temper, he won’t shamelessly ask for help unless he has to!”

Battelle took over the walkie-talkie and after listening for a while, he immediately said: "Okay, Brigadier Liu, I will immediately dispatch two tank companies according to the direction you specified. We expect to arrive within an hour."

Tang Qiuli asked: "Battle, is Liu Hongzhang's unit in trouble?" Battle briefly explained the situation, "Commander, let me think about it. I need to personally lead the team. The tanks are in the urban street fighting."

Its role must be summed up in actual combat. This is a rare opportunity!"

Tang Qiuli hesitated for a moment and said: "Okay, hand over the command. You can lead the team in person, with a tank battalion and an armored vehicle company. In addition, the marching route must be controlled by our troops as much as possible."

Within the area, 10,000 Japanese soldiers carrying out suicide bombings are no match for you alone, so pay attention to your safety!"

Where the tank troops were standing by, the roar of tank engines immediately rang out. Battelle, leading a tank battalion and an armored vehicle company, took advantage of the darkness and rushed into downtown Hong Kong, where gunshots were heard one after another and flames were shining everywhere.

It wasn't until he could no longer see anything that Tang Qiuli withdrew his worried gaze and said to Zhao Yuhe: "Yuhe, send a telegram to Qi Hanzhi and order the special operations detachment to dispatch a team of more than fifty people to support Liu Hongzhang and deal with it.

The special operations detachment should be more suitable for this kind of barricade fortification than Battle's tanks!"

At around nine o'clock in the night, Liu Hongzhang, who had been holding his breath for several hours, finally heard the roar of the tank. When Battelle jumped out of the tank, Liu Hongzhang was startled. He hurriedly went up to meet him and said: "Commander Battelle.

, why did you come in person? Didn’t I just ask for a few tanks? The division commander approved it? There are so many hard-working guys!"

Looking at the burn marks on the outer shell of the tank, Liu Hongzhang stared, and then said: "Good guy, this road is dangerous enough. The little devils are all fucking lunatics, they will bite everyone they see!

"

Battle smiled. On the way here, he encountered several attacks by Japanese skirmishers. However, they were all weapons such as grenades, which did not pose a threat to the tanks. The parallel machine guns on the tanks and the heavy machine guns on the armored vehicles did not hesitate.

, tore these Japanese soldiers who didn't want to live into pieces, beat them and drove them away, but they were safe.

Battelle and Liu Hongzhang were studying tactics. Qi Hanzhi, chief of staff of the special operations detachment, personally led two teams and more than a hundred special operations team members to follow the division commander's orders and came to support Liu Hongzhang.

Qi Hanzhi stood at attention and saluted, "Report to Commander Battelle, Brigadier Liu, and Chief of Staff of the Special Operations Detachment Qi Hanzhi. Under the order of the division commander, they have led a team to support the battle here. Please give orders to the two commanders!"

While Liu Hongzhang returned the courtesy, his face felt hot, and he secretly complained in his heart, "Well, the trivial matter got so loud that it alarmed the division commander. Not only did Battelle personally go into battle, but even the chief of staff of the special operations detachment came to help. This

Come on, you don’t even want to be famous! It’s so embarrassing!”

The more I thought about it, the more angry I became, and I hated the Japanese soldiers in that building. Battelle and Qi Hanzhi were both here to assist Liu Hongzhang. The commander of the battlefield was naturally Liu Hongzhang. His tactics were very simple. As long as he dispatched a few

One tank, covering one platoon of infantry at a time, rushed through the open space in front of the building and reached the blind spot of the Japanese soldiers' shooting. The mission was completed. The rest, the troops of the first brigade, would naturally take care of it.

Battle and Qi Hanzhi exchanged glances with each other and raised no objections to Liu Hongzhang's tactics. When it came to commanding field infantry, they were really ashamed of themselves in front of Liu Hongzhang. However, Battle had his own ideas.

He said politely: "Brigadier Liu, I would like to add that for the first attack, we can test the intensity of the Japanese firepower and the maximum distance that the tanks can approach. Four tanks attack at the same time, but they are not accompanied by

Infantry, what do you think?"

Qi Hanzhi also said: "Commander Liu, I also have an idea. After the exploratory attack, the first wave of assault troops will be served by the special operations detachment. For such a fortress attack, the special operations detachment may be more suitable!"

Liu Hongzhang opened his mouth. He knew clearly that what the two commanders who led the team to support him made sense. In this case, it was not a good time to lose face and be competitive. He nodded and said: "Yes.

Okay, let’s do what you two said, but Chief of Staff Qi, the special operations detachment only needs to occupy the first floor of the building, and let our first brigade do the rest!”

Liu Hongzhang's request was somewhat unreasonable, but both Battelle and Qi Hanzhi understood his mood. After all, the corpses of more than twenty First Brigade soldiers were lying in the open ground. It was understandable that they were eager to avenge their subordinates.

!

Four tanks rumbled up. The building, which had been silent for a long time, was like a poisonous snake waking up after hibernation, showing its ferocious fangs. All kinds of guns were shooting at the tanks crazily. In the night, bullets hit the tanks.

Strings of sparks flew off the armor, but they did not cause any damage to the tanks. The four tanks continued to approach the building.

The Japanese soldiers in the building became anxious and threw grenades one after another from the windows, "Boom, boom, boom!" Even with the continuous explosions, there were clouds of fire, and shrapnel hit the armor of the tank, making a "clang" sound.

The sound of "clang" impact, the smoke and the light of fire overwhelmed the tank, and the hearts of all the soldiers were raised!

Liu Hongzhang glanced at Battelle worriedly, only to find that this major general, who was only in his twenties, had a nonchalant look on his face. He was holding the telescope steadily with both hands and observing the situation intently. It seemed that there was a trace of ridicule in the corner of his mouth.

With a sneer, Liu Hongzhang's mood also relaxed.

But at this time, Barter, who was observing carefully, suddenly felt his muscles tighten, like a leopard ready to pounce at any time, and he discovered an abnormal situation.
