Age of Conquest Reborn

From a normal perspective, Lieutenant General Shin Yuemon, the commander of the Japanese 107th Division, made a correct judgment. He sought confirmation from the central and western front troops, which was also an experienced move, but he forgot one thing.

In fact, the 107th Division was ahead of the other two attacking troops by more than 70 kilometers. When the Xinqiao Regiment was attacked head-on by the First Regiment of the 1st Marine Brigade of the Independent Division in Nahe, the other two

The Japanese troops were still more than 20 kilometers away from the blocking line of the independent division troops.

Moreover, Major General Chen Mengqiao, commander of the 1st Marine Brigade, ordered only to use mortars, which confused Lieutenant General Shinyuemon. He believed that if the independent division troops had heavy artillery, the casualties of the Shinbashi Regiment would be reduced.

, and it’s not just that. After all, this is a sudden ambush battle. There is no heavy artillery. The independent division troops on the south bank of the river are at best a battalion, and at most, no more than a reinforced battalion.

At this point, Lieutenant General Shinyuemon's judgment was generally good. It was not that he was stupid, but what happened on the battlefield gave him the basis for his judgment. He stood up suddenly and ordered: "Kuroda-kun,

Ordered the commander of the 21st Brigade, Major General Kono, to immediately use the main force of the brigade to attack the Heda

On the south bank of the bridge, carry out a fierce attack and tell Mr. Kono that my decision to have lunch in Zhuanghe County cannot be changed! Other troops of the division will immediately advance quickly from their current positions. If they are blocked by the independent division troops, they will

The most violent artillery fire destroyed the Chinese soldiers' will to resist!"

The advancing front of the 107th Division is not just a point at Wulu Town on the south bank of the river. The troops are divided into multiple routes. The advancing width of the division's troops is more than 40 kilometers, and it is possible in any direction.

The situation encountered by the New Bridge Regiment occurred. Therefore, the most effective method is to use the most violent attack to destroy the resistance of the already defeated independent division troops. We cannot be intimidated by the bluff of the Chinese!

However, the 21st Brigade was advancing in the direction of Zhuanghe County, which was the only way to Lushun, so the commander of the New Youweimen Division followed him. At this moment, he suffered his first defeat.

Lieutenant General Shinyuemon, the captain of the Shimbashi Regiment in the battle, not only did not blame him, but also thanked him. It was he who used a brigade to test the strength and true intentions of the independent division troops, and helped a large number of people in Zhuanghe County.

Wounded soldiers, try to get enough time to retreat!

After receiving the order, Major General Kono, commander of the 21st Brigade, first ordered the main force of the brigade to quickly advance towards the river, and ordered the heavy artillery regiment of the brigade to move forward immediately. Position the independent division troops on the south bank of the river.

, completely blew it up to open the passage for the troops to pass, and then sent a telegram calling the commander of the Xinqiao regiment a bloody nozzle and ordered him to return to the north bank of the river immediately and stand by.

At this time, Major General Chen Mengqiao, commander of the 1st Brigade, had already left the 1st Regiment Command Post. He knew that the small victory just now could not change the overall situation. From now on, the most brutal blocking battle will begin. In the next few days, what will happen to the river?

The river will be dyed red with blood. The troops under his command are not only the first regiment, but also the first brigade. The blocking line is broad, starting from Wulu Town to the junction of Hehua Mountain and the second brigade, which is more than 30 kilometers long.

There are four key points that must be adhered to.

When leaving the command post of the First Regiment, Chen Mengqiao solemnly discussed with Meng Jianzhu, "Commander Meng, the blocking front of the First Brigade is more than thirty kilometers wide. It is impossible for me to cover everything. Therefore, please assist me in commanding the First Regiment."

With the Second Regiment and the reinforced First Regiment of the Direct Brigade, all the troops from Wulu Town to Xuling Town will be under your command. You and I will each be responsible for a section. How about Brigadier Meng?"

Chen Mengqiao believed in Meng Jianzhu's commanding ability. A person's talent can often be demonstrated by one thing. Naturally, Meng Jianzhu wanted it. He was a soldier who felt itchy when he heard the sound of gunfire, but he still declined: "Thank you very much."

Brigadier Chen’s trust and without the division commander’s orders, I cannot participate in the command of the troops. Of course, if Brigadier Chen orders me, Meng Jianzhu, to assist the 1st Brigade in defending the position, I will be obliged to do so! I promise to obey the order!”

Meng Jianzhu told the truth. The order given to him by the division commander was to serve as a reserve force in the war zone and to take care of the Zhuanghe City Hall and the garrison headquarters. But now, he went to the front line to fight. Isn't this a blatant disobedience to the division commander's order?

Is the teacher easy to offend? Although he felt itchy and uncomfortable, he did not dare to agree to Chen Mengqiao's request.

Chen Mengqiao saw Meng Jianzhu's concerns and said with a smile: "Commander Meng, don't worry about this. I was just about to report the battle situation to the division commander. If you make this request casually, it will definitely come true! With you like this

Isn’t it a waste to leave the generals in Zhuanghe County idle?”

With Chen Mengqiao's words, Meng Jianzhu, who wanted to stay on the front line and fight with his arms, immediately agreed, "Of course! If the division commander blames me, Brigadier Chen, you can take care of it for me!"

Chen Mengqiao's telegram soon arrived in the hands of Tang Qiuli, who was at the temporary headquarters of the Liaodong Peninsula Theater in Bayuquan. After reading the telegram, he laughed and said: "Yes, Chen Mengqiao's first brigade opened the scoring and ate up a Japanese brigade.

, I didn’t hurt anyone, Director Ge, apart from the direction of the river in Wulu Town, were there also battles in other directions?"

Ge Zhenzhuang, Director of the Division Staff Office, replied: "No, Commander, the 107th Division of the Japanese Army on the Eastern Front is advancing the fastest. Among them, the 21st Brigade in the direction of Zhuanghe is the fastest.

The fastest troops, the Japanese troops on the central and western fronts, are still about 20 kilometers away from our blocking line, and Nahe is the first to attack! Based on the advancing speed of the other two Japanese troops and the road conditions, one and a half

In an hour’s time, the blocking battle will begin in full force!”

After thinking for a while, Ge Zhenzhuang said: "Commander, the blocking force in the direction of Bayuquan, the commander of the Jingzhanqi Brigade of the 1st Brigade of the 29th Corps requested that the theater command headquarters immediately withdraw from Bayuquan to Dalongdi and Jiuzhai Town!"

Tang Qiuli didn't seem to hear Ge Zhenzhuang's words, and said to himself: "This Meng Jianzhu is indeed a guy who is unwilling to be lonely. He must have gone to the front line and was caught by Chen Mengqiao. It's okay, just like him on the battlefield.

Show off!"

Seeing that the division commander ignored what he just said, Ge Zhenzhuang repeated it again. Tang Qiuli said with a half-smile: "Why, Jing Zhanqi feels guilty. He, a main field brigade, can't protect my safety, Tang Qiuli. Director Ge

, I called back to Chen Mengqiao on the front line in Zhuanghe. I was able to gain something in the first battle, which slightly dampened the Japanese army's energy. I'm gratified. Regarding the request for Meng Jianzhu to assist you in commanding, the theater headquarters agreed to your request. You two will discuss the specific division of labor!"

Seeing that the teacher ignored Jing Zhanqi's suggestion, Ge Zhenzhuang shook his head helplessly and turned around and went out. Within ten minutes, Shan Hu came in with Jing Zhanqi. Shan Hu said with a serious face: "According to the regulations of the teacher, the teacher

It means that the top members should leave the front line and command the battle in a safe place. Please ask the division commander to withdraw from Bayuquan immediately and move to Dalongdi and Jiuzhai Town. I have already discussed it with Director Ge, and the command organization is evacuating!"

"You!" Tang Qiuli was completely speechless when faced with Shan Hu's regulations stipulated by the moving division headquarters. In fact, this regulation seemed to be specifically aimed at him. If he did not agree, Shan Hu would order the special guards to carry him away, "Jing

Zhan Qi, is this your idea? Why, facing the Japanese attack, do you feel unsure?" He did not dare to compete with Shan Hu, and vented his dissatisfaction to Jing Zhan Qi, commander of the first brigade of the 29th Corps

On the Major General.

Jing Zhanqi looked at Tang Qiuli without fear and said: "Reporting to the division commander, I asked Captain Huang to do this. To be honest, if the division commander stays in Bayuquan, I will be distracted and unable to concentrate on the command.

During the battle, the division commander had better move to a safe place! This is the greatest encouragement and support for our officers and soldiers at Jing Zhanqi and the first brigade!"

"You...!" Tang Qiuli pointed at Jing Zhanqi, but couldn't say a word. He thought in a dumbfounded way: "Well, I have become a burden to the troops!"

"Okay! You have won, Huzi. The theater headquarters will be transferred immediately and evacuated from Bayuquan so that Brigadier Jingda will not be distracted! If we don't win this battle, won't the responsibility be on me?" Tang Qiuli looked indifferent.

The compromised Jing Zhanqi looked at Shan Hu who had no room for negotiation and said in frustration.

Jing Zhanqi immediately smiled with a smile on his face and said: "Sir, is this right? You don't need to be in charge of Bayuquan personally. Aren't there just tens of thousands of little devils? Leave it to me!"

Watching the division commander and his entourage leave Bayuquan by car, Jing Zhanqi breathed a sigh of relief. To be honest, the division commander was in the defense area of ​​the 1st Brigade.

The little devils who are attacking must seize the key targets. The battle must be very fierce. If something goes wrong with the division commander, he will be chopped into pieces and there will be no way to make up for it.

After the reply from the theater headquarters reached Chen Mengqiao, he immediately forwarded it to the first and second regiments. Meng Jianzhu finally felt relieved and happily said to Sun Zhiyuan, commander of the first regiment of the first marine brigade: "Commander Sun, we

This time we will fight side by side! If you have any different opinions, feel free to raise them. I, Lao Meng, am not a dictatorial person!"

After the ambush battle just now, Sun Zhiyuan sincerely admired Meng Jianzhu's commanding ability. Besides, he was now the brigade commander, so it was natural for him to command him at that time. "Commander Meng, our regiment promises to obey orders!" he expressed.

"Brigadier Meng, commander of the regiment, the forward observation post reported that the Japanese army has approached the north bank of the river! It is about the size of a brigade!" A staff officer put down the phone and reported.

"Coming!" Meng Jianzhu perked up and raised his binoculars to observe the situation on the other side of the river. After watching for a while, he ordered: "Immediately order the first and second regiments, and all soldiers will immediately enter the fortifications to hide to prevent the Japanese artillery! You little devils

Once you put down the money, the fire will be fierce in a short while!"
