Age of Conquest Reborn

Meng Jianzhu held up his binoculars and stared intently at the Japanese soldiers crossing the river. Suddenly, he became angry and gritted his teeth and said, "These bastards are too damn rampant!"

Under normal circumstances, the troops begin to cross the river. However, they have to establish covering fire points on the shore beach and deploy mortars or heavy machine guns. Once the other side starts to counterattack, these fire points will play the role of suppressing and covering one's own infantry. However,

What Meng Jianzhu saw was a different situation. The Japanese soldiers in front had already begun to cross the river. There were still piles of Japanese soldiers crowded on the bank, but he did not see a covering fire point!

"That's good. After the mortar unit makes a surprise attack, you don't have to worry about casualties!" Meng Jianzhu was so angry that he cursed secretly, but he was also secretly happy. The more arrogant the little devil is, the greater the losses he will suffer!

Twenty minutes later, the Japanese soldiers who were the first to cross the river had already approached the south bank of the river. They were still about ten meters away before they could board the river beach. Meng Jianzhu suddenly shouted: "Fire ten rounds quickly! Fire!"

The Japanese soldiers, who were immersed in paddling hard with various tools, suddenly heard a different kind of scream coming from the rumbling sound of the imperial artillery. It was short and shrill, and seemed to sound right above their heads.

The experienced Japanese veteran immediately shivered and looked in the direction of the screams. Countless black spots appeared in the smoke-filled sky. Then, the black spots plunged down and quickly enlarged in front of his eyes.

"Boom - boom!" The mortar shells fell. The place where the Japanese army crossed the river, from the north bank of the river to the river, was shrouded in a hail of bullets. There was black smoke and fire, and the broken shrapnel roared and rotated. The mortar shells fell.

On the beach on the north bank of the river, among the Japanese soldiers who were preparing for the second batch of crossing the river, clouds of sludge and corpse fragments exploded, falling on the river, knocking over the Japanese soldiers on their tools for crossing the river, and causing a bright white

thick water column!

On the entire surface of the Nahe River and the beach on the north bank, as if a pot had been fired, a group took out all the hundreds of mortars. A single salvo fired thousands of shells, which landed within a radius of only a few square kilometers of the Nahe River Ferry.

The river surface and the river beach are densely packed.

As you can imagine, the Japanese soldiers were blown to pieces by this sudden shelling. The unobstructed river beach was full of mutilated corpses of Japanese soldiers. The bright red blood flowed into the river, and was

The river water leads to the distant North Yellow Sea.

The Japanese soldiers on the river were even more miserable. A mortar shell fell. It hit the Japanese soldiers who were huddled together, and a water column was stirred up on the river. When the water column fell back, it had turned light red. It was simply

There were piles of live targets. Some Japanese soldiers couldn't bear it anymore and jumped into the river. But the topless river water soaked their military uniforms and equipment, so their bodies sank as heavy as iron blocks.

"Baga! Cunning Chinese people!" Major General Kono yelled angrily. His command position was far back. The mortar shells fired by the soldiers of the independent division naturally could not hit the brigade commander, but the shelling the soldiers encountered

, which was even more uncomfortable than the one shell he received himself. Two infantry regiments were brought out, and they were blown to pieces without even touching the beach on the south bank of the river, leaving dead and wounded everywhere.

Major General Kono was so angry that he wanted to kill people, but he had no target to kill. Before the troops were preparing to cross the river, the brigade chief of staff had suggested, "Your Excellency, brigade commander, although our shelling is enough to destroy the defenses of the independent division on the other side and eliminate them."

Soldiers, but to ensure just in case, we should still establish a covering fire position based on mortars and heavy machine guns on the river beach!"

"Hmph!" Major General Kono snorted disdainfully, looked at the Chief of Staff, and said a few words with a worried look on his face, "Chief of Staff, is this necessary? Do you not believe in the power of the Imperial Army's artillery, or...

...?"

With just a few words, the brigade commander and chief of staff shut up immediately. The chief of staff was not a fool. He heard the subtext of Commander Kono's brigade and didn't believe my judgment? The chief of staff knew that if he insisted, the next step would definitely be

It’s a scolding, but if it’s not done well, you’ll get a few big mouths. In the 21st Brigade, Major General Kono is the best, and the other senior officers, including himself, the chief of staff, are scum, like this

The chief of staff can only lament his own misfortune as he works with his superiors.

"Baga! Cunning! Damn!" Major General Kono cursed these words over and over in anger, "Order the infantry to immediately stop crossing the river and withdraw to a safe area to hide. Order the artillery to immediately adjust the target of the bombardment to completely eliminate the hateful Chinese soldiers.

!" Major General Kono angrily issued an order. He wanted to call back the field artillery regiment and blow all the independent division mortars that massacred his soldiers into pieces.

Until now, Major General Kono still firmly believed that the independent division troops on the south bank of the river did not have many troops, and the heavy equipment they had was only a large number of mortars. The Japanese field artillery began to turn around and fight back, hitting several

A group of mortar troops with thousands of shells had safely withdrawn at this time, and the Japanese artillery bombs blasted the Nahe Bridgehead area beyond recognition again.

"Brigadier Meng, this battle was a blast! I observed carefully. During this period of shelling, at least one or two thousand little Japs were killed. The water in the river was dyed red! Not one of our soldiers was even slightly injured. It was a blast.

Ah!" First regiment leader Sun Zhiyuan came in from outside the command post and shouted happily.

Meng Jianzhu was also very happy. This battle was considered a victory in the first battle. He repelled the Japanese army's first attack without hurting anyone and killed one or two thousand little Japs. But he knew very well that there would be no more in the blocking battle.

The strategy can be used. At the river crossing, he took advantage twice in a row, but the little devils were frivolous and careless. Next, there will be no advantage to take advantage of. It is a head-to-head battle. The real battle has just begun!

"Ding, ding, ding, ding!" The phone on the shell box suddenly rang rapidly. Meng Jianzhu grabbed the phone, and the voice of the First Brigade Commander Chen Mengqiao came clearly, "Is it Brigadier Meng? I'm in Xuling Town.

I heard the constant sound of artillery and lively fighting over there. How about it, are the Japs still attacking?"

Meng Jianzhu said with a smile: "We just fought, with zero casualties, killing more than a thousand and nearly two thousand Japs, and repelling the Japs' first attack!"

"Ah! Zero casualties! Killed nearly two thousand Japs. Brigadier Meng, I was shocked!" Chen Mengqiao exclaimed in disbelief. If one group repelled the Japs' attack and wiped out nearly two thousand people, then that's not

It is strange that the combat effectiveness and equipment level of the regiment are obvious, but there are zero casualties. This is very rare!

"It's just a slight gain. The little devil's attack is still behind me. All the goods in my belly have gone everywhere. What's left is a head-to-head contest!" Meng Jianzhu said truthfully.

Of course Chen Mengqiao understood, "Commander Meng, on the north bank of the river in the direction of Xuling Town, the Japanese army has about two regiments of troops, but they have been standing still. I estimate that after the little Japanese suffered a loss from you, they will immediately

We are about to start action in the direction of Xuling Town. We are going to fight both times. Brigadier Meng, do you have any specific difficulties? But it doesn’t matter!"

Meng Jianzhu pondered for a moment and said: "The little devil has concentrated all the heavy artillery in the direction of Wulu Town. In contrast, I only have one heavy artillery battalion in hand, which is a bit inadequate. I also ask Brigadier Chen to support at least two battalions.

Heavy artillery, I know that when it retreated from the Mokpo battlefield on the Korean Peninsula, the 1st Brigade strengthened the heavy equipment of a heavy artillery regiment and a rocket launcher battalion!"

When he said these words, Meng Jianzhu's eyes flashed with a cunning light. Sun Zhiyuan, the commander of the regiment on the side, shook his head and waved his hands anxiously. He had mentioned it to Meng Jianzhu himself that the first brigade had strengthened its heavy equipment. Now

If Meng Jianzhu said this, he would be exposing himself!

Sure enough, Chen Mengqiao laughed when he heard this, "Sun Zhiyuan must be muttering behind your back! Okay, I'll transfer two heavy artillery battalions to you. One heavy artillery regiment is enough in my direction. I'll just be a good person and do it to the end."

How about I give you two rocket launcher batteries, Brigadier Meng!"

Meng Jianzhu was overjoyed. With a heavy artillery regiment in hand, he could fight an evenly matched artillery battle with the Japs' artillery. As for the two rocket launcher batteries, there were a total of sixteen 32-tube rocket launchers. They were the killers of the Japs no matter what.

Whether it is used for offense or defense, it is a rare and powerful weapon. Not to mention, the Marine Corps really did not prepare rocket launchers. This time, they will have a good fight with the Japs at the river crossing!

"Thank you, Brigadier Chen! With a heavy artillery regiment and two rocket launcher batteries, with the combat power of one regiment, the river will definitely become the graveyard of the little devils!" Meng Jianzhu said with confidence.

The field artillery regiment of the 21st Brigade of the Japanese Army continued the bombardment for an hour. Countless artillery shells blasted the bridgehead area on the south bank of the river into a smoky, smoke-filled area. Then, the artillery fire began to extend, and a large number of Japanese infantrymen

The soldiers once again began to cross the river. However, this time, Major General Kono put away his arrogance and built a mortar with nearly a hundred mortars and more than a hundred heavy machine guns at several commanding heights on the beach on the north bank of the river.

Main fire cover position.

Major General Kono, who gained wisdom through every experience, was even more thoughtful. When he ordered the field artillery regiment to start extending the artillery fire, he left a brigade of field artillery behind and adjusted the coordinates and bombardment angle. Once the independent division defended the troops,

If the old trick is repeated, then the Chinese soldiers will be greeted not only by mortars and heavy machine guns on the shore, but also by more than a dozen large-caliber field guns. This is called "treating others with their own medicine!"

"He thought viciously.

In addition, Major General Kono also ordered the troops in the direction of Xuling Town to immediately start preparations for the attack. After suffering a loss, he was able to humbly accept the lesson, correct his mistakes quickly, and let the troops who had nothing to do start taking action.

stand up.
