Age of Conquest Reborn

Anton City is in sight, less than 30 kilometers away, and it will take less than four hours for the Kwantung Army's newly formed First Corps to launch an attack on Anton. The situation report was reported to the Kwantung Army Commander-in-Chief General Yoshijiro Umezu.

Looking at the telegram, he was a little surprised. He didn't expect that the soldiers of the Manchukuo Army had such unexpected tenacity. Under the indiscriminate bombing of the independent division aviation, I am afraid that even the elite soldiers of the empire would not be able to achieve this.

Is this the speed of advancement?

These Manchukuo soldiers gave themselves an unexpected surprise. Of course, there is no comparison. If it were a pure Kwantung Army team and encountered such a large-scale bombing, General Umezu would never issue an order to risk the bombing regardless of casualties.

The order to proceed!

General Umezu personally wrote a reply to the commander-in-chief, Colonel Fukuzawa, "Fukuzawa-kun, I am glad to hear that your troops have approached the outskirts of Andong. I am very pleased that you can do such an amazing thing in such a harsh battlefield environment.

It can be seen that Fukuzawa-kun is a talented general, but he still needs to continue his efforts to recapture Anton in one fell swoop. When the battle report comes, it will be the day that Fukuzawa-kun joins the ranks of the generals of the Imperial Japanese Army!"

In order to achieve his own goals, General Umezu Yoshijiro, who always claimed to be disdainful of politicians, also began to use the common methods of politicians, and made a wish to join the ranks of the Imperial Japanese Army generals. For any one

Imperial soldiers are all honorable. General Umezu believes that Fukuzawa will fight tooth and nail to be able to hang a gold star on his epaulette!

Seeing Commander-in-Chief Umezu's handwritten reply, Colonel Fukuzawa, who was covered in mud, felt indescribable and mixed emotions. In the bombing just now, the First Corps lost more than 20,000 soldiers.

, just like General Umezu Yoshijiro thought, no matter how many Manchukuo soldiers died, he would never regret or feel distressed, but the crux of the problem is that these Manchukuo soldiers are still needed to attack Anton!

Looking at the sky above, the bombers and fighter jets of the Independent Division began to return after showing off their majesty. They climbed to a high altitude and flew away in neat formation. Colonel Fukuzawa sighed. He knew very well that the rank of this general was not the same.

Not easy to get, maybe, by yourself

He had no life at all. The air raid has just begun, and there will be brutal battles next. Anton is a key point in the eyes of Commander-in-Chief Umezu, and why is it not an important place in the eyes of the independent division commander? A bloody battle

Offensive and defensive battles are inevitable!

Colonel Fukuzawa calculated the current combat effectiveness of the army and the continuous air raids. The losses of the Japanese officers were not large, only a few hundred. Compared with the tens of thousands of casualties of the Manchukuo soldiers, it was negligible, but it was not enough for Colonel Fukuzawa.

I'm sorry to hear that we don't have enough manpower.

Yusha alone means that there are hundreds or even thousands of Manchukuo soldiers. Without a trustworthy commander, without the pressure and command of the imperial officers, Colonel Fukuzawa still knows what kind of virtue the Manchukuo soldiers are.

.What a headache!

Colonel Fukuzawa was racking his brains to think of a way to fill the vacancies of the hundreds of imperial officers who had been left behind. At this time, the chief of staff of the corps came limping over. During the bombing just now, this man with hanging

A Kwantung Army officer with the rank of major was slightly injured, but fortunately

Luck, he did not devote himself to His Majesty the Emperor and the Empire of Japan. This guy was originally a staff officer at the Kwantung Army headquarters. He stayed in the agency for a long time and was temporarily assigned to serve as chief of staff. How could he have seen bombs flying all over the sky, bullets like raindrops, and broken bones?

The meat is everywhere.

Although the injury was not serious, it still caused him to grimace in pain, and he was probably frightened. He came to see Captain Fuze because he wanted to find an excuse to return to the rear to recuperate. Who knew that the Captain, who was at a loss what to do, met with the Chief of Staff?

After that, he was overjoyed and said quickly: "The chief of staff is here, just in time. Who should command the remaining troops of the hundreds of imperial officers I was worried about? Does the chief of staff have any good ideas?"

The Major Chief of Staff was so frightened that he was too afraid that the commander-in-chief would let him go to the front line to command the Manchukuo troops. That would be almost like going to die. Seeing that it is not your problem, he should give up half of his heart. As long as he is not allowed to go to the front line and die.

That’s it!

After all, he was an imperial officer who had mixed with the officers at the headquarters. He was full of evil ideas. The Major Chief of Staff rolled his eyes around for a few times and then suggested: "Captain, this matter is easy to handle. There is no need to adjust the command system. Just

Among these Manchukuo soldiers who lost their imperial commanders, they elected the commanders of their respective units on their own, and then controlled them in a continuous manner. Whenever each unit shrank or deserted, the commander of that unit would

Shoot to death!"

"By analogy, if you reach the level of squad leader, are you afraid that you can't control it? Moreover, these troops who elected their own commanders will serve as the first wave of assault troops to attack Anton. If they are all killed, you, the commander, will not

Need to worry about it!”

"Yo Xi!" Captain Fuze praised. After all, he is a person from the headquarters agency, and he has many clever ideas. "Chief of Staff, convey my order to the troops. Ten minutes later, all departments gathered and quickly passed through Wulongbei and the side gate.

Along with Baoshan, launch the attack on Anton on time!"

Taking advantage of the Independent Division's aircraft, which temporarily had no chance to drop bombs overhead, the remaining troops of the Kwantung Army's newly formed First Corps, driven by Japanese officers, divided into multiple groups and continued to approach Andong, passing Wulong.

Back, side gate and Baoshan line, the outside of Andong is an undefeated place with vast plains.

In Andong City, at Han Railway's headquarters, Chief of Staff Wang Dongshan put down the phone and said: "Commander, I received calls from the commanders of our interception forces at Wulongbei, Side Gate, and Baoshan Front Line. They were blown up by our aviation forces.

The newly formed First Corps of the Kwantung Army, which is in disarray, is gathering and approaching the blocking line. In addition, according to the reconnaissance force report, looking at the marching formation and movements of the Japanese army, it seems that we have not found any blocking in the area.

force!"

"Hahaha!" Han Tie laughed and said: "With a large group of winged guys helping in the sky, I have nothing to worry about when fighting. Le Yiqin and Liu Cuigang will keep this favor and let me return it in the future.

Order the blocking troops. After the Japanese army approaches the blocking line, use the most violent artillery fire to inflict maximum damage. The bombs in the sky are not enough for the little devils. Let us use artillery shells on the ground to supplement them!"

"Order all the artillery units attached to the blocking line to fire hard. Chief of Staff, just watch. After the bombardment, this group of improvised mobs will definitely not be able to withstand it. It won't last until tomorrow. I dare

Fight a counterattack!" Han Tie shouted loudly with confidence.

The staff officers at the headquarters grinned when they heard this, "Commander, you think there are not many Japanese troops here? There are only six regiments of the blocking force, more than 30,000 people, but the Japanese troops came with two corps, twenty-five

There are more than 10,000 people with a strength comparison of eight to one. Although they have been subjected to continuous air attacks by the aviation force, even the remaining half of the force is more than four times more than the blocking force. Are we still going to fight back?"

Han Tie was high-spirited and did not pay attention to the more than 250,000 Japanese troops. When a staff officer came in from outside, stood at attention and saluted, "Report to the commander, we have received news from Qianyang, Tangchi, and Longwang Temple in the southeast of An'an."

, the scouts sent out by my intercepting troops reported that the vanguard of the defeated Japanese army has been found and is expected to arrive in the above-mentioned area in three hours!"

"Hey! It's so lively! They're all rushing together, and I, Old Han, are going to fight on both sides! It's so fucking exciting!" Han Tie's eyes lit up, and he moved the table like a wolf that had been hungry for many days.

There was a loud snap and he asked: "Are there any reports of troops rushing to other interception areas?"

The staff officer shook his head, Han Tie frowned, and Wang Dongshan explained: "Commander, are the other troops still on the way? Even the middle route troops cannot reach the scheduled location now, not to mention the farther west route troops, we

It is estimated that the defeated Japanese troops coming from the direction of Zhuanghe should be the first to arrive!"

Han Tie still frowned and asked: "Does the blocking force have any telegrams?"

"Yes, a telegram came from the division commander's staff office. The troops pursuing from the central part of the Liaodong Peninsula, according to the division commander's orders, organized small groups of elite troops, divided into multiple routes, and tried their best to get ahead of the retreating Japanese troops.

By intercepting and killing people along the way, I judge that this is the division commander's approach to reduce the pressure on our troops as much as possible!" Wang Dongshan replied.

After thinking about it, Han Tie smiled and said: "Chief of Staff, order the troops already in place to block the retreating Japs no matter what the cost. I estimate that as long as we block the Japs for half a day, we can pursue them."

The troops will definitely be able to catch up

Come, also, order the blocking troops on the front line from Wulong back to Baoshan in the north of An'dong not to restrain themselves during the fight. They can carry out local counterattacks appropriately under the cover of tanks. As long as they fight hard enough, we won't have a bunch of rabble.

pressure!"

The panting soldiers of the newly formed First Corps of the Kwantung Army hit the iron plate as soon as they arrived at Wulongbei, Side Gate, and Baoshan. The soldiers of the Manchuria Army, who were half-dead from exhaustion, were running mechanically when suddenly, their heads

There was a scream in the sky, and countless artillery shells were smashing in. At this time, a loud noise like heavy thunder followed the scream.

As the artillery shells fell, countless earth pillars immediately rose from the ground. The body fragments were mixed with soil and scattered in the air. Without the threat of bombs from the independent division's bombers in the sky, the Manchukuo soldiers and Japanese officers thought they could take a breather.

, but ran headlong into the fire net of the independent division's artillery.

Han Tie concentrated all the heavy artillery regiments of the brigade that would later cross the Yalu River to the blocking position from Wulongbei, from the side gate to Baoshan. The six heavy artillery regiments fired a salvo, knocking out the unsuspecting Kwantung Army's newly formed No. 1

A whole army of soldiers was enveloped in a bloody wind composed of whirling and whirling steel fragments!
