Age of Conquest Reborn

In the city of Andong, gunfire was still fierce in several places. The Japanese soldiers who relied on solid buildings to defend themselves refused to surrender and were still defying after being surrounded. However, this could no longer change the outcome. The entire city of Andong had already

fell into the hands of the First Brigade.

Xue Shiqiang's arm was wrapped with a thick bandage. He listened to the sound of gunfire and looked at the white sky in the east. He put the submachine gun on his back and showed a relaxed smile. Just now, he, a major general in the brigade,

The commander also went into battle to fight in person, and at least seven or eight of the little Japs fell under his gun. It was a satisfying experience.

It only took less than four hours from the start of the battle to the capture of Anton. Xue Shiqiang was very satisfied with the performance of his troops. Although the casualties have not been calculated yet, he knew that they were definitely not big. They were mainly for the defense of Anton.

Little devil, your fighting power is too weak, you can’t help but fight!

Xue Shiqiang followed the 1st Battalion and 3rd Company of the 2nd Regiment in the assault. Just when they reached the front of the Anton City Hall, they were met with a counterattack by about two squads of Japanese military police.

They rushed out of the building, shouting like convulsions, and they were quite menacing.

However, in the eyes of Xue Shiqiang, who has experienced battles for a long time, it is almost like committing suicide. Without the fire cover of artillery fire and light and heavy machine guns, just charging with a hand-to-hand charge on the unobstructed street is like a little devil with water in his head.

, can do it, but it would be really troublesome for Xue Shiqiang to rely on the five-story Anton City Hall to defend it.

Now, the little devil has given up the favorable terrain, so why are he so polite? Xue Shiqiang ordered more than a hundred submachine guns to be delivered to the door, plus more than a dozen light and heavy machine guns, it was a wild shot, two

There was no one left in the Japanese military police squad who was breathing. However, Xue Shiqiang's arm was scratched by a stray bullet.

Xue Shiqiang looked at the corpses of several Japanese military police at the gate, waved his hand and said: "Come here and drag the corpses away. Search the whole building immediately to see if there are any little Japanese who have slipped through the net. Once found, kill them on the spot!"

Get all the corpses of the little devils in the building out and clean them up. From now on, Commander Han’s headquarters will be located here! The Communications Department will rush over immediately to communicate with the various regiments!"

"Ouch! It really fucking hurts!" Xue Shiqiang muttered, frowning, forgetting about the injury on his arm, "Chief of Staff, immediately telegraph Commander Han that our first brigade fought for more than three hours.

, has occupied the entire city of Andong. The remaining Japanese troops who resisted were surrounded in their strongholds and then annihilated! Commander Han, please enter Andong immediately to command operations!" He ordered the brigade chief of staff, Colonel Tian Xiaogang.

Tian Xiaogang hurriedly ordered the communications staff to send a telegram, and then he said to Xue Shiqiang with concern: "Brigade commander, let the military doctor come over and rebandage you! If the wound is infected, you will be in big trouble!"

Xue Shiqiang smiled and said: "Chief of Staff, my old Xue is not so delicate. You will immediately issue an order. The first battalion of the third regiment, the brigade reconnaissance battalion, the engineer battalion, the communications battalion and the brigade headquarters agencies will stay in Anton.

Troops from other regiments should immediately move out from An'an to the east and west. Seize key points along the way. As for how many troops are left at each key point, the commanders of each regiment decide on their own!"

"The troops who stayed in Anton immediately took over the task of surrounding the Japs' troops and told them not to launch any forceful attack. The lives of the soldiers were more valuable than the lives of the Japs. Use mortars, rocket launchers and recoilless rifles to blast me.

Use whatever bombs, explosives, and cluster grenades you can use. Don't be afraid of blowing up the house. You have only one hour to cleanly deal with the little Japs who are surrounded!"

After receiving Xue Shiqiang's report, Han Tie breathed a long sigh of relief and said to Chief of Staff Wang Dongshan: "Xue Shiqiang fought well. Now, the door to Fengtian is half closed. Let's go. The headquarters will enter Anton immediately."

Set up camp and immediately report to the division commander that our troops have occupied Anton!"

Sitting on the armored command vehicle, Han Tie suddenly smiled. Wang Dongshan, the chief of staff next to him, turned to look at him inexplicably. He didn't know why the commander suddenly giggled.

Han Tie said proudly: "Chief of Staff, Li Honggang is quite unlucky. He led seven brigades of the 29th Corps to the north, but failed to win a single battle. First, he was transferred to three brigades to participate in the Liaodong Peninsula.

During the central blockade campaign, three brigades were transferred and put under my command. Chief of Staff, was Li Honggang upset and sulking at this time? But he didn’t dare to argue with the division commander.

!Hahaha!"

Han Tie laughed proudly and continued: "It's strange to say that I, Old Han, currently command nine brigades, but they come from three corps. This battle in the Northeast battlefield was a bit interesting, but I did.

Li Honggang is aggrieved!"

Wang Dongshan was completely speechless, and after a few minutes of silence, he said: "Commander, you still want to defend Commander Li? How can I see that you are gloating about others' misfortune!"

"Really? Don't talk nonsense! I, Old Han, am not that kind of person!" Han Tie said seriously.

Wang Dongshan curled his lips and just said, "Okay, I didn't see or hear anything, so that's okay!"

More than a week later, Anton changed hands again. However, this time the Kwantung Army no longer had the ability to retake Anton. Moreover, at this moment, Anton became the leader of the Japanese Third Army and the Kwantung Army's first and second forces.

The remnants of the detachment retreated from the east road to Fengtian, facing an insurmountable gap, while several other brigades of the Korean Railway Force were rushing towards the predetermined target, fighting with the retreating Japanese troops and the more than 90,000 improvised Japanese troops who came up for reinforcements.

, grab time.

At the same time, more than 50,000 troops from three brigades of the 29th Corps, which had boarded the ship at Mokpo Port on the Korean Peninsula, were escorted by an aircraft carrier and seven or eight warships of the Independent Division Fleet in the twilight of the North Yellow Sea.

Go up, cut through the waves, and gallop towards Andong.

News of Anton's fall quickly spread to Liaoyang. The Kwantung Army's full-line headquarters, Commander-in-Chief General Umezu Yoshijiro, and Chief of General Staff Lieutenant General Matsuda Kenjiro, were numb to the news and were not surprised at all. Anton would definitely not be able to survive.

, the strength of only two military police brigades is almost the same as being undefended, but the consequences of Anton falling into the hands of the independent division troops are very clear to the two giants of the Kwantung Army.

The remnants of the Third Army and the First and Second Detachments of the Kwantung Army that retreated from the central part of the Liaodong Peninsula have been completely cut off from the passage through Anton to withdraw to Fengtian. They can only place their hopes on the middle and west roads, but the two of them know that this way

With the obvious situation on the battlefield, could you have imagined the insidious and cunning Chinese devil Tang Qiuli? I'm afraid, there may be another arrangement!

Therefore, General Umezu and Chief of Staff Matsuda do not have much hope for the Gaizhou front line on the middle and west roads. Now, the only thing that can change the situation of the battle is the temporary piece of more than 90,000 troops. This army has

The new designation is called Kwantung Army New

The first corps of the Kwantung Army was formed, and the Manchukuo army assembled behind it was designated as the new second corps of the Kwantung Army. The combined strength of the two corps exceeded 250,000, although more than 90% were Manchurians.

National soldiers, but the number of troops is quite scary!

These more than 250,000 people are all pressed to the front line of Anton and Gaizhou. It is not necessarily possible to change the situation of the battle. The confidence is not due to the sudden arrival of so many soldiers, but from the commanders at all levels of these two armies.

They are all officers from the Japanese Empire and veterans with rich combat experience. A group of sheep led by a wolf can also kill a tiger!

This is where all hope lies. Therefore, General Umezu Yoshijiro, who has regained command, strictly ordered the Kwantung Army's First Corps to speed up its march and attack Anton. He ordered the Kwantung Army's First Corps to reach Anton before noon today.

The eastern periphery should retake Anton before seven o'clock in the evening, and the Second Corps should arrive in Anton no later than six o'clock tomorrow evening.

If the two corps do not arrive in Anton on time and fail to complete the orders of the headquarters, the officers at all levels will immediately commit suicide by caesarean section to apologize. Before caesarean section, they can tell the Manchurians who are afraid of war, are not marching actively, or are trying to escape.

When soldiers of the national army carry out large-scale disposal, officers at all levels have the power to determine the target and scope of the disposal on their own without having to report it to superior officers.

This order is absolutely ruthless and extremely vicious. With the authorization of Commander-in-Chief Yoshijiro Umezu, Japanese officers at all levels can deal with their Manchukuo soldiers at will. With just one sentence, they can be shot

One person put it bluntly, if the First and Second Corps of the Kwantung Army did not complete the task of retaking Anton, then there would be no need to exist. Let the Japanese officers at all levels do it before they open their stomachs.

, a killing spree!

The Japanese officer who was dying must have been crazy. Coupled with the violence and desire to kill in the Japanese people's bones, the Manchukuo soldiers who were transferred to the battlefield would end badly. General Umezu Yoshijiro's original intention was to give all levels of

Japanese military officers exerted pressure,

Taking the most severe measures to urge the marching speed of the Manchukuo soldiers, for these servile Chinese people, killing one person as an example is the best deterrence and persuasion. A bloody head is better than countless words of mobilization and intimidation.

Much more effective!

He knew very well that time was extremely precious to him and the Kwantung Army, so extraordinary means had to be adopted. The two-day journey had to be completed in one day. Without special means, it was impossible to achieve the goal!

This time, the Manchukuo soldiers with the Kwantung Army designation were in dire straits. On the roads south of Fengtian leading to Andong, the Manchukuo soldiers were threatened by the riding whips and command knives wielded by Japanese officers.

, spreading their feet and running desperately. From time to time, exhausted soldiers were pulled out by Japanese officers and shot to death. From time to time, you could see the bloody corpses of several Manchukuo soldiers on both sides of the road.
