Age of Conquest Reborn

With a room full of senior Kwantung Army generals shining brightly, no one could understand what the flashing light in Commander-in-Chief Umezumi's eyes meant? Is it anger, contempt or appreciation?

General Umezu's eyes calmed down, he tapped the table and praised: "Genius plan, unique idea, clever deployment, interlocking rhythm, Shinyou-kun, you make me admire you! After this battle, the empire

In the military world, another bright star will rise! Yoxi! Mr. Xinyou, I approve this attack plan!"

"Don't waste time with me, start implementing it immediately, and not only your 107th Division, but also the 109th Division attacking on the northern front, must also proceed according to Xin Youjun's plan! The staff department will send senior officials immediately

Staff officer, rushed to the 109th Division overnight to explain the attack plan and supervise its implementation!"

"Your Excellency, Commander-in-Chief, please be careful! The offensive plan of the New Yuemon Division Commander is too risky. If you are not careful, you will lose everything!" Chief of Staff Matsuda suggested with an ugly face. No matter from which point of view,

, he is not optimistic about Lieutenant General Shin Yuuemon's battle plan. Now, Commander-in-Chief Umezu wants the 109th Division to attack on the northern front to take risks together. Isn't it possible that the General is not afraid of losing this battle?

?

If it were General Nanjiro, Shinyuemon's battle plan would definitely be torn to pieces. Then, he would be thrown on his face and ordered to go to the staff department to get a standardized battle plan.

Just follow the plan and implement it.

General Umezu Yoshijiro waved his hand violently to stop what Chief of Staff Matsuda was saying, "Chief of Staff Matsuda, wasn't what I just said clear enough? Do I need to repeat it again? Time is urgent, so don't waste it. Follow my order immediately!"

General Umezu's tone was cold and devoid of any warmth. From Chief of Staff Matsuda on down, all the senior officers were speechless. For the first time, they experienced the tyranny and arbitrariness of the new commander-in-chief of the Kwantung Army.

.

Chief of Staff Matsuda kept silent with a look of pain on his face. He suddenly realized that it was no longer the era of General Nanjiro. He, the Chief of Staff of the Kwantung Army, could no longer influence the overall situation. "Unfortunately, the Kwantung Army was defeated."

, It starts with this guy Shin Yuemon’s ridiculous battle plan!” He thought with his heart twitching in pain.

After giving a look to Chief of Staff Matsuda and other senior officers, General Umezu turned around and said gently to the commander of the Shinyu Gate Division: "Shinyu-kun. Originally, I wanted to keep you in the headquarters to finish your meal, so we can do it too.

Have an in-depth talk, but time is running out and the attack is about to start. You must rush back to the troops immediately. Start organizing the attack. I am in the headquarters, waiting for the good news of your victory! By then, I will hold a banquet in Fengtian to welcome us in triumph.

The returning hero of the Empire!"

It's enough. As long as Commander-in-Chief Umezu supports his combat plan, that's enough. Lieutenant General Shin Yuuemon didn't expect to get so much, but Commander-in-Chief Umezu gave him an unexpected compliment, standing out from the crowd.

Despite the opposition of almost all senior generals in the headquarters, he firmly supported himself and ordered all offensive troops to execute according to his combat plan. This is a great trust and honor!

"Your Excellency, Commander-in-Chief, Shinyuemon is not worthy of such a compliment. I just fulfilled my duty as an Imperial soldier. The staff immediately rushed back to the troops to make all preparations before the counterattack. If we win, Commander-in-Chief

Your Excellency, your wisdom, if unfortunately fails, Shinyuemon will also die on the battlefield, fulfilling the promise of an imperial soldier!" Lieutenant General Shinyuemon said with a trembling tone, there were no heroic words, but he revealed a firm determination.

Fighting spirit.

Several grass-green military tents were pitched in a dense forest. One of them was the temporary headquarters of the 107th Division. Countless telephone lines extended from the tents into the distance, connecting various places.

Troops preparing to attack.

Since dawn, when the search wing's team started taking action, Lieutenant General Shin Yuuemon has been sitting motionless on the canvas marching chair, his back straight, his eyes slightly closed, his face as calm as water, and his face is as calm as water.

He held the command sword inlaid with gold wire tightly in both hands and poked it on the ground. From any angle, the commander of the Shinyuemon Division looked like a calm and composed general, showing off the demeanor of a general of the Japanese Empire.

!

In fact, Lieutenant General Shin Yuuemon's heart was not as calm as on the surface, and there was even a trace of inexplicable fear. It was originally only a matter for the 107th Division, but it was expanded to include the offensive troops on the northern and southern fronts.

On a large scale, Commander-in-Chief Umezu affirmed his offensive plan and ordered all offensive troops to implement it accordingly. This is trust and honor, but is it not also a huge pressure?

To be fair, Lieutenant General Shin Yuuemon has no intention of being in the limelight. As long as his division's offensive plan is approved by Commander-in-Chief Umezu, it is enough. However, Commander-in-Chief Umezu's actions have forced him to the point where he has no way out.

To the point where he risked his life and fortune, he could only succeed but not fail. If the plan failed, he would commit suicide by caesarean section without being blamed by Commander-in-Chief Umezu.

Time passed so long. In less than an hour, Lieutenant General Shin Yuuemon felt that the rest of his life had been spent in this short period of time. There was no news from the troops in action. This made him feel uncomfortable.

He was both worried and full of hope. Such a contradictory mentality made it difficult for him to

Perhaps something that has never happened before since becoming the division commander of the Imperial Army, the other officers in the tent only saw the division commander's calm and composed general demeanor, but they did not know that their division commander, wearing white gloves,

The hands holding the command knife tightly were already soaked with sweat.

The radio station that had always been silent finally sounded a slight "tick" sound. In the tent, the eyes of the officers were attracted. Lieutenant General Shin Yuuemon's heart immediately tightened, but he did not open his phone.

With his eyes closed, only the involuntary twitching muscles on his cheeks revealed his true inner thoughts.

Feeling that a person has arrived beside him, "Report to your Excellency, the Division Commander, Captain Ono of the Search Wing reported that the first step of the plan is progressing smoothly, and all the warning sentries on the forward positions of the independent division have been cleared. The second step

The step plan has begun to be implemented, and the special mortar brigade is already in place. The brigade leader, Major Watanabe, asked for instructions, do you want to start the bombardment immediately?" It was the voice of the chief of staff of the division, bringing unparalleled good news.

"Yo Xi!" Lieutenant General Shinyuemon couldn't help but whisper, "Amaterasu bless you! His Majesty the Emperor bless you! The plan was successful!" He shouted wildly in his heart, but on the surface, he still looked calm.

light demeanor,

"Order the special mortar brigade to immediately begin shelling the independent division's garrison positions. Order the division's artillery group to prepare for the bombardment!" He suddenly opened his eyes, a fierce light flashed through, and gave the order to attack.

.

The radio station quickly relayed the order. At this moment, Lieutenant General Shinyuemon felt that he was exhausted, as if he had collapsed, and his clothes were soaked with sweat. However, under the eager and admiring eyes of the surrounding officers, he

Still maintaining an unwavering military posture.

On the open ground in front of Fenghuang Mountain, waist-deep wormwood and clumps of shrubs became the best hiding places for Japanese soldiers. It was at dawn in the east that those strange-looking mortars quietly fired

After the installation was completed, a slight "swishing" sound was heard, and mortar shells were fired one after another. They crossed an arc in the pre-dawn sky and landed on the 6th Brigade of the Marine Corps of the Independent Division.

On the regiment's position.

The strange thing is that these fallen artillery shells did not explode with sparkling light, nor was there a huge explosion. After the mortar shells fell, clouds of yellow-brown smoke spread out and gradually merged into the dawn layer of the Liaodong Peninsula.

The mist enveloped the entire Phoenix Mountain position and continued to spread in all directions.

Major General Jiang Xianliang, commander of the Sixth Brigade, was sleeping when he suddenly felt that his throat was blocked by something, and he felt as if he was suffocating. He suddenly woke up, turned over and got out of bed. At this moment, he suddenly felt that his whole body

I was tired, my body was so limp that I couldn't use my hands, and I smelled a pungent smell in my nose.

"What does it smell like?" He shook his groggy head and thought in surprise, "Guard! Guard!" He shouted loudly. There was no movement outside the shelter. He lifted his legs and walked out, but found that it was so difficult to move.

.

At this time, the commander of the first regiment, Colonel Meng Jianzhu, also stumbled over from one end of the shelter. He saw the brigade commander and shouted: "Brigade commander, you are evil? Why do you have no strength after sleeping?

?There is still a pungent smell in the shelter?"

"Poison gas bomb! The little devil fired a poison gas bomb!" Jiang Xianliang, who has been through battle for a long time, suddenly thought of this terrible possibility. Except for poison gas bombs, nothing can cause the body to be in the current situation.

Moreover, this kind of poison gas bomb cannot kill people, but it can make people lose consciousness and mobility. I experienced it once when I was on the battlefield in Indochina.

"Meng Jianzhu! Fire the damn gun! The kid fired a poison gas bomb! All the troops immediately put on gas masks!" Jiang Xianliang shouted loudly. Thanks to his physically strong help, the regiment headquarters was in Fenghuang Mountain again.

Behind the main position, the Japanese army

The concentration of the poison gas bombs fired was not too high. All personnel in the regiment headquarters have not lost all consciousness and basic mobility yet. However, the skirmishers at the door were the first to smell the poison gas, and the poisoning was relatively deep.

In a semi-conscious state.

When Meng Jianzhu heard this, he was stunned. After reacting, he immediately took out two gas masks, put them on respectively, and stumbled out of the regiment's shelter. At the entrance of the shelter, several sentries fell to the ground. Jiang Xianliang

Grabbing a submachine gun, "Click, click, click!" A string of bullets flew up into the dawn sky, and the crisp sound of gunfire echoed in the silent wilderness.
