Age of Conquest Reborn

Chief of Staff Matsuda was speechless for a while, feeling that Commander-in-Chief Umezu was taking things for granted, and moreover, he was taking things for granted in an unrealistic and fantasy-like way.

Judging from various signs, there are indeed no independent divisions on the Gaizhou front line. It is the best time for the central and western front troops to retreat. However, it is unrealistic to order the eastern front troops to turn laterally into the direction of Gaizhou and retreat from this direction.

Ah, for the same reason, the remnants of the 107th Division will also cross the Liaodong Peninsula. I am afraid that after reaching the Gaizhou line, the independent division troops chasing after them will arrive at the same time. Wouldn't that be a doorstep?

Looking for a fight?

Chief of Staff Matsuda was quite hesitant, because General Umezu's order was too taken for granted and idealistic. Perhaps, before the 107th Division reached Gaizhou, the independent division troops pursuing on the western front had already blocked the opening. Then

The 107th Division is no different from surrendering into a trap. It has worked hard to cross the Liaodong Peninsula for more than 200 kilometers, but it was surrounded and annihilated by the independent division troops. What is the reason?

With the lives of the remaining 10,000 soldiers of the 107th Division at stake, Chief of Staff Matsuda had no choice but to speak, "Commander-in-Chief, I feel this is inappropriate and order the troops on the central and western fronts to retreat as quickly as possible.

Absolutely correct. However, it is very dangerous for the troops of the 107th Division on the eastern front to turn towards Gaizhou, because the Imperial Army soldiers also have to cross the Liaodong Peninsula, followed closely by the twenty-something independent divisions.

Soldier Wan, would you please reconsider?"

"What are you considering?" General Umezu suddenly became furious, stared at his red eyes, and shouted, "Chief of Staff Matsuda, can you use your brain? The independent division troops that crossed the Yalu River will first seize Anhui.

East area. An Dongfang

Xiang has already gathered heavily troops. With the current situation of the 107th Division, can you and I be sure whether it can break through the blocking line? No! Can the First Corps and the Second Corps retake Anton as scheduled and open a retreat channel?

Not sure either!"

"The combination of various uncertain factors means that the 107th Division in the direction of Anton is an insurmountable obstacle. The independent division only needs to block them for two days, and the pursuing independent division will catch up.

Come up. How will the 107th Division respond when the time comes? Being blocked and pursued, is the jade broken in the southeast of An? In that case, why not give it a try in the direction of Gaizhou, which is promising!"

General Umezu foamed at the mouth, waved his hands nervously, and yelled at the top of his lungs. The spittle sprayed onto the face of Chief of Staff Matsuda, and the staff officers in the headquarters. Their faces were pale, and they were silent. They didn't have any atmosphere.

If you dare to speak out, the Kwantung Army's second-ranking figure, Lieutenant General Chief of General Staff, was pointed at the nose and reprimanded. General Umezu, a junior staff officer like him, is going to be killed, and it's not a matter of a word!

Chief of Staff Matsuda's face was dull, bearing the wrath of General Umezu. He admitted that this was the only opportunity that the 107th Division could take advantage of as it retreated from the Eastern Front. Gaizhou was an unblocked opening, but General Umezu

This approach is also a gamble. It is a gamble that the pursuing independent division troops will not be able to reach the front of the 107th Division, which is turning towards Gaizhou. Gaizhou is still an unobstructed and smooth road, but is this possible?

Chief of Staff Matsuda felt that since launching the campaign to regain the Liaodong Peninsula, Commander-in-Chief Umezu has been gambling. The capital is insufficient and it is a very dangerous gamble. In fact, if the 107th Division retreated from the Eastern Front, it is still in the Andong area.

By opening a breakthrough point, and with the support of the two corps north of Andong, it is very possible for the remaining 107th Division to break through the independent division's blockade on the Andong front line.

Judging from the situation on the battlefield, it is obviously much safer than Commander-in-Chief Umezu’s temporary decision. Even the 107th Division failed to break through the independent division’s blocking line in Anton and was completely destroyed. The middle and west roads were

The imperial troops on the road can safely pass through the Gaizhou area. Losing one of the three is considered the best result. However, General Umezu wants to save them all and does not have enough capital. How difficult it is!

"Putting the future, fate and lives of more than 10,000 Imperial Army soldiers on a gamble with an unknown outcome!" Chief of Staff Matsuda lamented in his heart, but he couldn't say anything. Moreover, even if he did, it would be too late.

Is it possible to adopt a violent boss?

The answer was definitely no. General Umezu Yoshijiro was already immersed in his wishful gambling. "Yes, Commander, the staff is lying. Please convey your order to the retreating troops immediately!" Chief of Staff Matsuda said with his head down.

, the attitude is absolutely respectful.

"Commander-in-Chief, in this case, do you still need the Kwantung Army's new First Corps and Second Corps to continue attacking Anton?" He asked again. This is the meaning of the question. The 107th Division will not leave Anton.

Going east, the two corps combined totaled more than 250,000 people, so there was no need to be used as cannon fodder and continue to fight in vain, right?

"Why not?" General Umezu Yoshijiro said coldly: "The order is still issued, continue the attack! Anton must be taken back!"

After the order was issued, Colonel Fukuzawa, the new commander of the Kwantung Army's First Corps, fully understood in his heart that Commander-in-Chief Umezu was going to use the First Corps as cannon fodder. All of them, including himself, the commander, were destined to be cannon fodder.

It was helpless to know that any failure to carry out the order would lead to a dead end. Commander-in-Chief Umezu would never go around himself. To carry out the order would lead to a dead end. The artillery shells of the independent division hit the ground so much that it turned over several times.

An impassable place of death!

"This is the fate of an imperial warrior! The moment he received the appointment of the commander-in-chief, he was destined to end today!" Colonel Fukuzawa thought sadly, and then he issued an order, "Each brigade will immediately prepare to attack.

Imperial officers must be at the forefront to set an example for the Manchu soldiers. Anyone who cowers or escapes from battle will be executed on the spot by officers at all levels!"

So, under the intensive artillery fire, on the battlefield where the shells exploded like waves of earth, the remaining soldiers of the new First Corps of the Kwantung Army, led by the Japanese officers, threw moths into the fire.

Rushing up like a merciless shell, the merciless shells exploded into a rain of blood, and the whistling and whirling shrapnel strangled all the lives that entered the net of fire. Groups of soldiers from the newly formed First Corps of the Kwantung Army fell down, and there were flying bullets everywhere.

A stump of a broken arm rising in mid-air.

The newly formed First Corps of the Kwantung Army, such an attack regardless of casualties, was a completely suicidal act. It attracted the attention of the commanders of the blocking forces, and they immediately reported the situation to the headquarters. So far, the blocking of the six regiments

The troops were still very relaxed. The soldiers had guns in their hands, but they had not yet been used. The artillery completely controlled the battlefield. There was not a single Japanese soldier within two kilometers of the front of the position.

After receiving the reports from several captains of the blocking force, Han Tie thought for a moment, smiled disdainfully, and said to Chief of Staff Wang Dongshan: "Hey! The little devil is using the human sea tactic! If you do it knowing you can't do it, there must be deception.

,I think the Japanese commander is taking

These Manchurian *** soldiers are used as cannon fodder, consuming our ammunition and the energy of the tired soldiers. Dongshan, you see, this is the first wave. The newly formed Second Corps of the Kwantung Army that follows behind will still take action.

Such a fighting style!"

Wang Dongshan agreed with the commander's judgment, "The intention is very clear, which is to use the Manchurian Japanese soldiers as cannon fodder. Commander, are you ordering the blocking troops on Wulongbei, Side Gate, and Baoshan to save ammunition?"

Han Tie pondered for a moment, shook his head and said: "Now, the First Corps of the Kwantung Army has been beaten to a bloody head and has lost its fighting spirit. I think the fire is almost over. Send my order, and the five dragons will be carried to the front line of Baoshan."

The blocking force immediately began to counterattack across the board, dispatching all tanks. The counterattack should be fast and fierce. The distance of the counterattack should not exceed fifteen kilometers. Then, quickly retreat to the position and prepare to face the next wave of Japs!"

The artillery fire that turned half the sky red finally stopped. They were lying helplessly on the ground. The soldiers of the newly formed First Corps of the Kwantung Army who were lucky enough to survive had their ears buzzing and looked at the sky in disbelief.

, everything that happened just now was like walking out of hell. All the seven souls and six souls flew away from the body. It was so terrible. My companion, right in front of me, exploded into a ball of blood mist. Not even a bone or scum could be found.

arrive.

The Manchurian Japanese soldiers who had never been on such a cruel battlefield and had only fought a few battles with the resistance forces had experienced such a scene. Their eyes were straight, they were lying on the ground, their bodies were weak, and all their energy and energy were gone.

As if they were all exhausted, at this time, those Japanese officers who were not killed in the bombing became more energetic, jumped up, drew out their command swords, and shouted at the top of their lungs: "Baga! Stupid pig, get up immediately, all attack!"

Before the Manchukuo generals could get up, the sound of tank tracks crushing the soil came from the independent division position opposite, and the ground trembled slightly. Han Tie deployed six troops from Wulong back to Baoshan.

The main force group, in accordance with the order, began to launch a full-scale counterattack.

Like an unstoppable torrent, Han Tie's counterattack troops, with tanks and infantry behind them, appeared in a dark mass in front of the soldiers of the newly formed First Corps of the Kwantung Army who had been beaten to the point of losing their energy.

The fear and panic instantly overwhelmed all the soldiers. There was only one thought in their minds, "Run!" Run back as hard as possible, as far away from these vicious independent division soldiers as possible!

Rout, an unstoppable rout, like the ebbing sea water, the remaining tens of thousands of people in the new First Corps of the Kwantung Army turned around and ran away. The Japanese officers yelled angrily and cursed fiercely, holding hands in their hands.

Using their pistols and command knives, they mercilessly killed and chopped down the Manchurian soldiers. However, they still could not stop the rout of people. On the contrary, these Japanese officers were trapped and could not help but follow them.

After receiving the report, Han Tie laughed a few times and said: "I have thirty thousand people chasing tens of thousands of Japs. It was an interesting battle. Well, we should turn around and deal with the Japs from the south."

Got it!"
