Age of Conquest Reborn

Major General Jiang Xianliang, commander of the 6th Marine Brigade, wanted to take advantage of the commander's happiness to ask for a favor for his old friend Huang Wanshan, commander of the 4th Brigade. On his way to the front line, he happened to meet Huang Wanshan who had been ordered to withdraw.

Seeing the old man's depressed mood and self-blame on his face, Mr. Jiang felt bad in his conscience. He always thought that there would be a chance to say something for Huang Wanshan, and now was a good opportunity.

After saying these words, seeing that the commander remained silent, Jiang Xianliang continued: "When I was ordered to come to the front line, I met Brigadier Huang. He told me that he realized his mistake and blamed himself very much. Commander, otherwise

Please tell Commander-in-Chief Tang of the Cross-sea Campaign Headquarters that you don’t want to restore your original military rank, but you just don’t want to be a temporary acting brigade commander. It’s difficult to manage the troops with such an identity!"

As soon as Jiang Xianliang's reply fell, Han Tie, who was silent, put down his telescope and shouted: "Jiang Xianliang, what do you mean? Fight for Huang Wanshan? I tell you Jiang Xianliang, Huang Wanshan's mistake is very serious, and he should do this

Responsible for more than a thousand soldiers killed, three

More than a thousand soldiers were wounded, and they crippled a main regiment without encountering the regular troops of the Japs. It was because Commander Tang was so gracious that he did not shoot him because he underestimated the enemy. If your troops suffered the same casualties again, there would be no need.

The Crossing Battle Command will punish you, and I will shoot you on the spot!"

Jiang Xianliang trembled with fright. This was the first time he had seen the commander so furious. He also knew that the commander was holding fire in his heart. Not only was Huang Wanshan punished, but the commander himself was also punished.

I was criticized and my allowance was withheld for half a year, which made me feel uncomfortable!

"Commander, don't get angry. Just take what I just said as unsatisfactory. You will sit at the brigade headquarters. I'll go up to the front!" With that, Jiang Xianliang was about to run away when he saw that the situation was not going well. He knew it very well.

, when you stay at the brigade headquarters, you will definitely get a harsh and violent training. Why don’t you run away and wait for the training?

Just as he took a step, "Stop!" Han Tie shouted, Jiang Xianliang trembled, "Commander, do you have any other instructions?" He asked with a smile while licking his face.

Han Tie looked at him with a bad eye and said: "Jiang Xianliang, let me ask you, do the Japanese troops opposite have artillery?"

Jiang Xianliang replied without thinking: "There must be one. Defending such a front is not as good as artillery. The kid is not stupid, but we have not officially launched an attack. Where is the kid's artillery position? It's hard to say!

"

Han Tie's expression softened and he said: "Jiang Xianliang, you organize an attack immediately, but the attack tactics must be arranged in this way. The attacking troops are divided into multiple routes. Spread out as wide as possible and I will transfer all the tanks that can go up to you.

Cover the infantry attack. The strength of each attacking force shall not exceed one platoon. Once the Japanese artillery fire is discovered, retreat quickly without hesitation. Do you understand?"

A person who can serve as a brigade commander in the Marine Corps is not a master with rich battlefield experience and a very flexible mind. Jiang Xianliang immediately understood Han Tie's intention and replied loudly: "It's the brigade commander. I promise to complete the mission. Are you fishing?"

, the bait is too big and the gain outweighs the gain; the bait is too small and the fish won’t take the bait, don’t worry, I promise to fish out the Japanese artillery for you!”

Looking at Jiang Xianliang's back and excitedly exiting the tent, Han Tie felt a lot. The commander of the 4th Brigade, Huang Wanshan, had commanding ability and battlefield experience that was even higher than Jiang Xianliang's. He was dismissed and demoted.

In my own heart too

It was uncomfortable, but he also knew that Commander Tang of the Fleet was very strict in running the army and had fully considered various situations. Otherwise, Huang Wanshan would not be the acting brigade commander at this moment. He would have gone there to study or even sit there.

The bench is gone!

What Han Tie didn't expect was that division commander Tang Qiuli would not directly intervene to deal with the cause of the huge casualties of the Marine Corps. Another point was that although Tang Qiuquan's punishment of Han Tie was criticized by the entire army, the scope was different.

Yes, if Tang Qiuli did not issue a disciplinary decision at the command of the division, then all the troops in the independent division would know about it, which would have a negative impact on Han Tie's prestige anyway.

As for the punishment decision of Tang Qiuquan's Crossing the Sea Campaign Command, the so-called notification to the entire army was only within the scope of the Southeast Mobile Corps, the Marine Corps and the Aviation Force, as well as the fleet heading north, that is, the troops currently controlled by the Crossing the Sea Campaign Command.

Of course, the scope will be much smaller. Tang Qiuli's non-interference was to minimize the negative impact on Han Tie. It can be said that he took great pains. Only Tang Qiuquan can probably understand the profound meaning.

The sea breeze dispersed the smoke. After the large-scale bombing, the independent division troops did not take the opportunity to attack. This gave Major General Katayama a short respite. He was able to pay attention to the situation of the troops. When he saw the statistical casualties,

At this time, Major General Katayama once again felt chilly and couldn't help but tremble.

The more than forty minutes of bombing caused casualties to the troops that were beyond Major General Katayama's expectations. It was not the biggest reliance on the casualties of the regular troops of the half division of the Seventh Army, but the losses of the members of the Manchurian Volunteer Team.

, more than 40,000 people were on the position, and the density can be imagined. The bombing by the independent division bombers caused more than 30,000 casualties to the Manchurian Volunteers, of which more than 20,000 were killed. In other words, the Manchurian Volunteers

There are less than 10,000 people left in the team.

The casualties of the regular troops were much smaller, with a total of more than 1,600 casualties. However, do not underestimate this number. Major General Katayama had limited capital. The total strength of the regular troops was less than 10,000, close to 50,000.

One-third of the casualties were serious injuries. This unprecedented and violent bombing caused unprecedented huge casualties to the Japanese army.

Major General Katayama's eyes were straight, he looked at the casualty statistics table, and his hands were trembling. The major staff officer responsible for counting casualties continued: "Your Excellency, Acting Commander, because time is very tight, this is only a preliminary statistics. I believe that the real statistics are

The number of casualties exceeds what is currently counted!”

"Baga! Shut up! That's enough!" Major General Katayama suddenly broke out and shouted loudly, which made the major staff officer tremble and shut up immediately. Major General Katayama felt cold in his heart. The number of casualties was just a superficial phenomenon, and there was a deeper impact.

, lies in the heart, those who are supported by a burst of fanatical emotions

The members of the Manchuria Volunteer Corps were subjected to this ferocious bombing by the independent division bombers. I am afraid that the fanaticism in their hearts has long turned into the fear of bloody war. They have lost their fighting spirit, and they have lost the fighting spirit of the more than 40,000 nominal brave men last night.

The courage of the team members and the bravery to attack the soldiers of the independent division without fear of death!

Subsequent reports from various quarters also confirmed Major General Katayama’s concerns. All troops called to report, “The surviving members of the Manchurian Volunteer Corps on the position were in an atmosphere of panic and uneasiness. They even began to flee the position and asked the Acting Commander for instructions.

, how should we deal with it?”

Major General Katayama would never tolerate this. He immediately issued an order, "All troops immediately took the most severe measures to stabilize the emotions of the Manchurian Volunteers. Those scum of the empire who tried to escape from the position were immediately shot on the spot as a warning to others."

!The Manchurian Volunteer Team must bear the responsibility

The mission of repelling the attack of the independent division troops in the first round!" Major General Katayama's order still did not change its original intention and pushed the Manchurian Volunteers to the front. Perhaps it was the Japanese civilians who were full of loyalty to His Majesty the Emperor.

What I never expected was a great irony and a great sadness!

On the Japanese position, sporadic gunshots immediately rang out. It was the Japanese soldiers who were following the orders of Major General Photo Mountain to kill those members of the Manchurian Volunteer Team who were desperate to escape from the position. Of course, the Japanese soldiers were very smart and they would never dare to attack.

If you go to dissuade them, these civilians who have never been on the battlefield are already in a state of mental collapse. Maybe when you are trying to stop them, you may suddenly pull off the explosives and grenades on them. Wouldn't it be a big deal if they were blown to pieces by your compatriots?

joke!

Therefore, the Japanese soldiers shot and killed those members of the Manchurian Volunteer Corps who ignored the orders and wanted to escape the position and escape the terrifying battlefield without mercy, just like they shot the soldiers of the Independent Division without the slightest psychological barrier.

Hearing the gunshots from the Japanese position, Han Tie was startled, "Could it be that the Sixth Brigade started to launch a tentative attack? It didn't take much time for Jiang Xianliang to leave. It couldn't be so fast, right?"

Confused, Han Tie made a phone call to Jiang Xianliang's frontline headquarters, "Jiang Xianliang, there are gunshots from the Japanese positions. What's going on?"

Jiang Xianliang was also confused, "Commander, I don't know either. From my point of view, the Japanese army has no signs of launching a counterattack, and the little devil doesn't have the courage! It's not internal strife, right? If so, it saves effort!"

"What a whim! All the good things happened to you, Jiang Xianliang? How are the preparations for the attack?" Han Tie asked with a smile, "Commander, we will start on time in thirty minutes!" Jiang Xianliang replied.

Thirty minutes later, dozens of tanks drove out of the Independent Division position and roared towards the Japanese position. Behind the tanks, there were groups of infantry. Major General Katayama lay in the shelter and watched the Independent Division troops launch their attack.

With his teeth aching, he discovered that the Chinese were too cunning. There were dozens of tanks divided into more than a dozen lines, with a large distance between the lines. Moreover, the number of infantry accompanying the tank attack was not very large.

In this way, if your biggest trump card, the only light artillery unit, fires artillery, it will certainly not be able to cause huge casualties to the attacking independent division. However, if you do not fire artillery, the forward troops not equipped with anti-tank weapons will not be able to withstand it.

As for the offensive, these dozens of independent division offensive troops can also break through the defense line. At that time, I am afraid that the entire line will collapse!

To fire or not to fire? Major General Katayama was in a dilemma. Dozens of tanks roared and approached the position. The Japanese light and heavy machine guns began to fire. The dense bullets hit the armor of the tanks, making a "clang" metal collision sound.

However, these steel monsters were not harmed at all. Instead, the tank guns blasted away the exposed fire points. Major General Katayama gritted his teeth and grabbed the phone.
