Age of Conquest Reborn

Tang Qiuquan didn't seem to hear what the chief of staff said. He picked up the napkin, wiped his mouth gracefully, glanced at Xin Xiguo, and said with some aftertaste: "Well, the food tastes good today, why don't you notice it usually? Negligence!

ah!"

Xin Xiguo almost fainted, "My commander, the two fast gunboat brigades are ready. Commander Han Tie of the Marine Corps was so anxious that his eyes were burning and he called twice. He is waiting for you.

With an order, hundreds of thousands of troops immediately began to take action, and you still have time to talk about food?" He said a little angrily.

Tang Qiuquan looked at his watch and said: "Convey my order. All carrier-based reconnaissance planes will take off to conduct a comprehensive reconnaissance of the Japanese positions! Don't let go of any abnormal situations! The reconnaissance planes will return in twenty minutes!"

"Commander, is it necessary?" Xin Xiguo asked with his eyes wide open.

"Execute the order!" Tang Qiuquan did not explain, but said very simply. Xin Xiguo swallowed his saliva, and without knowing what he was mumbling, he stood up and made a phone call.

Tang Qiuquan walked to the porthole of the command module, raised his telescope, and looked at the carrier-based reconnaissance aircraft on the aircraft carrier, gliding lightly across the take-off deck of the aircraft carrier, taking off one after another, and rushing into the blue sky in an instant.

"In more than an hour and a half, the Japanese soldiers who were lucky enough to save their lives should have taken action. After the napalm bombs were destroyed, the Japanese underground fortifications would definitely be unusable, and they would have to go to the ground. Moreover, they would never give up.

Resistance, the last blow of the fast gunboat brigade can catch all the fish that have escaped the net, I hope my premonition is accurate!" He thought to himself.

He fought with the Japs for many years, from the northeastern land of white mountains and black waters, to the coast of the East China Sea, to the southwest border, and then to the Indo-China Peninsula. Finally, he changed his career and took charge of a fleet. Qiuquan never dared to ignore the imperial people.

Under the education, Japanese soldiers who are full of bushido spirit and loyal to that bullshit emperor are crazy and fierce. They are covered with grenades and often regard themselves as human bombs. Any slight will bring serious consequences to the army.

of casualties.

In just ten minutes, a staff officer came in and reported: "Report to the commander, the reconnaissance plane reported that traces of Japanese soldiers were found at the Japanese position in Lushunkou. However, because they were too scattered, it was impossible to make a specific number.

statistics!"

Tang Qiuquan smiled slightly and said, "I understand, order the reconnaissance plane to return!"

Xin Xiguo was so surprised that he could put an egg in with his mouth wide open, "Commander, you are really amazing. How did you know that there would be alive little Japs on the position? It's so weird. Two rounds of bombings, including bombs."

With napalm bombs, the little devil is too lifeless, can he still survive?" He was surprised, unbelievable, and a little ashamed.

Tang Qiuquan glanced at him and said seriously: "Xi Guo, as the chief of staff, you should have thought that nothing is absolute. There are nearly 50,000 Japanese troops in two divisions on the front line of Lushunkou. Can you expect that through two rounds of bombing,

No one is left alive? Okay, order the fast gunboat brigade to attack and cover the area where the landing troops are about to seize the beach with artillery fire! Order the landing troops to prepare for landing!"

Xin Xiguo lowered his head in shame. The commander's words were both a reminder and a criticism of himself. Based on his previous performance, he was really not a competent chief of staff. He was impulsive, not calm enough, blindly optimistic and underestimated the enemy. These should not be committed.

He took full responsibility for all the mistakes. "Commander, I'm so ashamed!" he said in a low voice.

Tang Qiuquan waved his hand and said with a smile: "Don't look downcast, take action immediately and give the order. Han Tie's eyes turned red when he stared at it, didn't he?" From the bottom of his heart, Tang Qiuquan didn't blame Xin Xiguo very much. After all, he didn't

He had been a commander in the army and had served in the fleet since he joined the independent division. He was a layman on some tactics of army operations. "It seems that it is necessary for Xiguo to stay in the field corps for a while!" He secretly thought.

thought.

On the sea, the independent division's troop transport fleet and escort fleet began to move. On the ground position at Lushunkou, Major Tokugawa held the telescope tightly. On the left side of his body, there were more than twenty mortars lined up in a row.

Cannon, on the right, is ten

Several light and heavy machine guns, this is the defense front of Major Tokugawa. All the firepower is all the weapons and equipment that can be collected. There is no more. They are either burned to pieces by the flames and cannot be used, or they are buried.

In the ruins.

There were not many shells and bullets collected, and they could only support the battle under normal circumstances, which lasted less than an hour. However, Major Tokugawa believed that it was enough, and he had no extravagant expectations. With only the remaining four thousand people,

He can hold the Lushunkou position. The only thing he has to do is to inflict maximum damage on the Chinese soldiers and kill the most Chinese people before the jade is shattered.

For this reason, Major Tokugawa ordered the mortar crews and light and heavy machine gun shooters not to fire until the China landing force entered the effective range, even if the opponent's artillery shells fell on them, and waited until they were within the effective range.

Use the fastest rate of fire to fire the most mortar shells and machine gun bullets until they are all fired.

For other soldiers, Major Tokugawa's request was to tie all the grenades and explosives to their bodies, lie motionless in the trenches, and wait until the soldiers of the independent division rushed into the position to sound them together to fight with these hateful Chinese

Everyone perishes together,

Not only did he ask the soldiers to do this, Major Tokugawa also strapped more than a dozen grenades on his body. With the commander taking the lead, the rest of the Japanese soldiers followed it without any complaints, and there was still a feeling of guilt in their hearts.

The sacred feeling of His Majesty’s devotion!

Just now, several independent division reconnaissance planes passed overhead, making Major Tokugawa feel uneasy. After all, it was broad daylight, and the soldiers hiding in simple fortifications would have been discovered by China reconnaissance planes.

?

If discovered, what will happen next? Major Tokugawa doesn't know, but one thing he can be sure of is that the commander of the independent division will never send bombers again for indiscriminate bombing because of so few imperial soldiers.

It is possible to conduct an artillery bombardment. "Everyone should pay attention, hide yourself as much as possible, and be prepared to prevent the Chinese troops from bombarding you!" He whispered the order.

On the sea, the huge formation of independent division troop carriers is getting closer and closer, and in front of the troop transport fleet are nearly a hundred small gunboats. Although the tonnage is small, their speed is astonishingly fast. Behind the dark green

, pulling out white waves, from the corner of Major Tokugawa

At first glance, those small gunboats of the independent division are just like flying on the sea. "Do the Chinese use the small-caliber artillery on such small gunboats to carry out shelling? If so, it is the remaining troops of the Seventh Army."

Lucky!" He thought while puzzled.

The independent division's fast gunboats lined up in a row, speeding across the sea, and approached Lushunkou Beach in an instant. Major Tokugawa saw that the speed of those gunboats did not slow down, and seemed to be rushing to the beach. At this time,

, from the gunboat, bursts of fire suddenly erupted, tongues of fire roared over, and the sky was immediately filled with piercing screams that he had never heard before.

Major Tokugawa opened his mouth wide and stared dumbly at the tongues of flames, which came to his eyes in an instant, and only then did the dull loud noise reach the ears of the remaining Japanese soldiers, "Boom! Boom! Boom!" -

- There was a series of loud noises, and a burst of fire suddenly appeared on the Japanese army's position. The pupils of Major Tokugawa's eyes quickly enlarged. After the rocket exploded, the high temperature of several thousand degrees instantly swallowed Major Tokugawa and those around him.

Japanese soldier.

This was the third fire attack carried out by the escort force of the Independent Division against the Japanese positions on the front line of Lushunkou. On a position with a length of only more than 20 kilometers, it was carried out in accordance with the orders of Lieutenant General Tang Qiuquan, the commander-in-chief of the Cross-sea Campaign Headquarters.

Repeated fire strikes, bombers, gunboats and naval guns were deployed, which was more than a large-scale positional battle. Thousands of tons of steel were poured on the Japanese positions.

Regarding the landing operation on the Liaodong Peninsula, the use of so many bombers and naval guns, as well as two fast gunboat brigades, a salvo and thousands of rockets, after the war, there was quite a bit of controversy within the senior leadership of the Independent Division. There were many

Senior generals believe that such a waste of fire

It is really unnecessary to use force, especially the third fire attack. It is a waste of ammunition. It is nothing more than thousands of little devils that luckily slipped through the net. Hundreds of thousands of Marines landed, and each person could drown thousands of them with a spit of spit.

Little devil, is it worth using thousands of rockets?

Of course, this was just an opinion on tactics and was by no means directed at Tang Qiuquan himself. Tang Qiuquan had no intention of explaining it at all. However, the division commander Tang Qiuli said something that immediately settled the controversy, "A soldier's life is not

Thousands of artillery shells can be exchanged for it. If in the next battle, your troops use millions of artillery shells and end the battle without any casualties, I will give you credit!"

Thousands of rockets turned the Japanese position that had been destroyed twice once again into a sea of ​​steaming flames. This was different from napalm, which burned slowly and you could see the flow of the flames. Compared with

Below, the rockets covered the area in all directions, and the flames mixed with thick smoke soared into the sky, which was more intuitive and terrifying, as if the air was ignited.

Major General Han Tie, commander of the Marine Corps, stood on the command ship, looked at the sea of ​​​​fire in front of him, smacked his teeth, and said to the chief of staff, Colonel Wang Dongshan, next to him: "That's enough! Commander Tang is enough! Three strikes, I'm afraid,

Little devil's bones

There are no scum left. I originally thought that landing on the beach would be a fierce battle. No matter what, we have to pay thousands of lives to win the beachhead of the little Japanese. Now it seems that the worry is unnecessary! Is there still a need to fight?

?Fight with whom?"

Wang Dongshan said with a smile: "Commander, it seems that you are not very satisfied with your tone?"
