Age of Conquest Reborn

Chapter 2488 The first battle

The officers of the 107th Division of the Japanese Army all know the temper of the division commander, the demeanor of a general, and the tenacity of an emperor. His face does not change even when Mount Tai collapses in front of him. The lieutenant general likes this tone. These days

Come on, the division commander shows off his skills from time to time

The heroic man stood upright under a certain big tree amidst the bombing and strafing bullets from the Independent Division planes. With coldness and contempt at the corner of his mouth, he looked at the raging Independent Division planes in the sky, letting the bullets roar.

When a bomb explodes, it refuses to be concealed.

The imperial charisma of the commander of the Shinyuemon Division has been shown off enough, but it has hurt the hearts of many officers in the division and the guard captain, but there is nothing they can do about it. Who can persuade him to hide?

, you are guaranteed to get a "coward! Not worthy of being emperor*"

The scolding of "*people" is the same now. No one dared to ask the reason. They all stood silently behind Lieutenant General Shin Yuuemon. However, they were not in the good mood of the division commander. They looked up into the air with fear.

, be alert to independent division aircraft appearing at any time!

Near ten o'clock in the morning, the planes of the Fourth Independent Division appeared in the southeast sky. The Japanese officers secretly complained, "Such a large number of people standing in the open space are not the best living targets."

?" Everyone's eyes were nervously staring at the direction in which the Independent Division's plane was flying.

Only the commander of the Shinyuemon Division still half-closed his eyes and looked unmoving. The roar of the independent division's planes was getting closer and closer, and he could already hear the whistling of bombs falling from the sky. Suddenly, he suddenly

He opened his eyes and shouted, "Here we come!"

The Japanese officers were stunned. They were not here. The Chinese planes began to bomb. The commander of the Shinyuemon Division knew what the officers were thinking. He smiled slightly and said: "Gentlemen, listen, the sky in the north is

Up, those roaring sounds of engines are the arrival of the empire’s eagle in the sky!”

As if to verify his words. Sure enough, Japanese fighter jets appeared in the northern sky. At this time, the officers had to admire the division commander. In just the blink of an eye, a group of Japanese fighter jets rushed in front of them.

.Enter a fight with the independent division aircraft group. The fighter jets from both sides flew up and down, entangled together, the machine guns fired "ta-ta-ta-ta" and kept roaring, and the sky was immediately filled with milky-white ballistics.

The air battle lasted only a few minutes. The independent division's aircraft seemed to be out of control and fled to the southeast. The Japanese fighter group immediately launched a fierce pursuit, and the Japanese officers shouted wildly. I was so excited that it had been several days.

, planes of the independent division,

After bombing and strafing day and night, the soldiers and officers of the 107th Division were almost mentally broken. Now, the lingering aircraft of the Independent Division were beaten to pieces by the Empire of Japan's aerial war eagles and fled in panic.

These Japanese officers felt so relieved!

The Japanese soldiers hiding in various places witnessed this almost one-sided air battle. Their excitement was stronger than that of the officers. In terms of suffering, the top soldiers must have suffered more than the officers. "The Empire of Japan

Long live! Long live His Majesty the Emperor! Long live the imperial eagle in the sky!" Cheers resounded throughout the wilderness.

The commander of the Shinyuemon Division glowed red, and the gloom of the past few days was swept away. He loudly said to the Chief of Staff, Major General Kuroda: "Kuroda-kun, order the troops to set off immediately and approach Zhuanghe County as quickly as possible.

, we must regain as much time as possible from the delay!"

With no air threat, the Japanese 107th Division's tens of thousands of troops surged toward the Zhuang River from the Dagushan line like a rolling torrent. Behind them were the second echelon's 69th Division's tens of thousands of troops.

, this day starts at ten o'clock in the morning

The independent division aviation's air blockade against the Japanese attacking troops from the east and west was completely broken by the newly formed Kwantung Army's First Aviation Group and the three vanguard fighter wings. The Japanese troops on the battlefield of the Liaodong Peninsula took advantage of the situation and pounced ferociously towards the southern part of the peninsula.

.

In Incheon, Korean Peninsula, the Independent Division Aviation Joint Air Command, Liu Cuigang put down the phone and said with a smile to Le Yiqin, who was walking around on the ground: "Yiqin, the bombing of the Japanese troops in the Liaodong Peninsula is officially over, and the work has been completed successfully. According to the division's instructions,

war department

Department, the next step, our main task is to ensure the air security of the blocking line from Zhuanghe to Bayuquan. Just now, we received a call from the commander of the returning fighter formation. We have a tie with the three Japanese fighter wings and have a slight advantage.

Cheap!"

Le Yiqin suddenly stopped, glanced at Liu Cuigang, and said angrily: "I said Cuigang, it's a tie, I see why you seem to be taking advantage of Da Da, you are so complacent, no

Just three little devils

Fighter Wing? It's a dish that's served to our lips. In order to take the overall situation into consideration and not affect the division commander's overall deployment, we won't eat them all, but we can take a bite. You just won't let me lead the team to take off.

I’m holding my fire!”

Liu Cuigang's smile became brighter and brighter, and he said: "I am holding fire in my heart! Do you want to give your opinion to the teacher? Send a telegram immediately! You tell me and I will write!"

Le Yiqin wilted at that time and said: "Well, just pretend that I didn't say it. Isn't it just to complain a little? I haven't eaten the piece of meat on my lips, and I feel angry inside. I just want to complain to you. I

Are you someone who doesn’t have an overall view? If you give advice to the teacher, I will send you to your door to be disciplined!”

The officers in the air command tower could not help but secretly laugh when they saw the two commanders bickering like children. Liu Cuigang suppressed his laughter and said: "Yiqin, the Japanese aviation force is uncharacteristic and dares to fight with three fighter wings."

, I estimate that this is just the vanguard, and the bulk is still behind. The main battlefield of future air battles is likely to be in the airspace from Zhuanghe to Bayuquan. From now on, you will be busy!"

Le Yiqin said with satisfaction: "I like to hear this. The little Japanese planes from Japan have never tasted our power. It was our first battle today. It seems that we were beaten and returned in embarrassment. We are arrogant and arrogant again.

In addition to the victory in the first battle, before the official battle, the Little Japanese Air Force lost one move first. Cui Gang, I will protect the Little Japanese fleet that dares to come to the Northeast battlefield and the Korean Peninsula battlefield, and I will not be able to take care of any of them!

"

The aviation force of the seemingly independent division was really beaten by the Imperial Japanese Air Force so that they did not dare to show up. On the march route of the 107th Division, the soldiers no longer had to worry about bombs falling at any time.

Morale is boosted, and more

I felt a surge of energy in my heart. The 107th Division was advancing at an alarming speed. One day and one night later, when the light of dawn first appeared in the eastern sky, a regiment of its leading force, the 21st Brigade,

We have arrived at the north bank of the river in Wulu Town.

After receiving the report from the avant-garde squadron, the commander of the wing, Colonel Nibashi, rode a tall horse and was surrounded by officers from the wing headquarters. He caught up from behind. Colonel Nibashi was very cautious and did not rashly order the troops to continue.

Go forward, but stay on the north bank of the river.

Colonel Shimbashi jumped off his horse and held up a telescope to observe the situation carefully. In the mist of dawn, the river was only more than thirty meters wide. The water waves were flowing slowly. A wooden bridge silently spanned both sides of the river. Henan

On the shore, a patch of lush wild grass and a few dense bushes extended southward from the gentle river beach. There was no sign of any fortifications. Everything was very quiet, just like the area the regiment had passed through before.

But it was this intact bridge that made Colonel Shinbashi doubtful. Since the 107th Division set out from Anton, all the bridges on the rivers it passed along the way were blown up by independent division aircraft. As the leader of the division,

The army unit has done a lot of work

In the work of repairing bridges, only the bridge over the river was intact. Especially, the front had already approached Zhuanghe, an important town on the way to the southernmost part of the Liaodong Peninsula. The Chinese people were eager to retreat, leaving this bridge behind.

Qiao, is there any conspiracy?

Colonel Shimbashi was more thoughtful and immediately reported the situation encountered by the regiment to the brigade headquarters and asked for instructions on what to do next. Major General Kono, the commander of the 21st Brigade, did not dare to neglect and immediately reported the new situation to the brigade headquarters.

The telegram from the bridge was reported intact to the division headquarters. Major General Kono knew that the command style of the commander of the Shinyuemon Division has always been to stick to the end. He can even bypass the brigade and regiment and directly command a group.

Brigade.

As long as the 107th Division acts collectively, the brigade commanders and regimental commanders often act as a sounding board, responsible for conveying the orders of the Shin-Yoemon division commander. For the division commander's command method,

The commanders of the Japanese front-line troops were quite complaining, but they had no choice but to do so. Firstly, they did not have senior officials, and secondly, they really did not have the commanding ability of Lieutenant General Shin Yuuemon!

After receiving the telegram from the 21st Brigade, the commander of the Shinyuemon Division raised his eyebrows and said calmly: "Is this a suspicious formation? The Chinese have read too many Romance of the Three Kingdoms! That river is not Changbanpo, Dangyang

bridge!"

The officers around me were so confused that they didn't understand anything. What about Changbanpo, Dangyang Bridge, and where are these? The commander of the Shinyuemon Division, who was an intensive reader of Chinese classics, didn't bother to explain.

, ordered: "Give it to the 21st Brigade

Call back, the leading regiment can conduct a short fire reconnaissance on the south bank of the river. After that, the regiment quickly passes through the river and captures Wulu Town and Zhuanghe County! The main force of the division speeds up the march. At noon today, I will

Have lunch in Zhuanghe County!”

Among the three-pronged attack on the Japanese army, the 107th Division advanced the fastest. If compared horizontally, it was ahead of the 109th Division attacking on the western front and the 1st and 2nd Detachments of the Kwantung Army attacking on the middle line by approximately

More than 70 kilometers long, just when the commander of the Shinyuemon Division was about to go out for lunch in Zhuanghe, the more than 100 kilometers long blocking line across the central part of the Liaodong Peninsula, all defense points, except the southern line, were blocked.

It was discovered that the leading troops of the Japanese army were approaching.
