Age of Conquest Reborn

During the day, hundreds of thousands of soldiers pressed forward, attacking with all their strength, and had an overwhelming artillery superiority. However, under the bombing of the independent division aviation's overwhelming bomber group, it also collapsed. Now, 90% of the artillery has been destroyed. As mentioned above, although there is no bomber group of the independent division, what will be the result of another attack by the Second Corps on the Liaodong Peninsula after nightfall?

Not only the Japanese officers were worried, but Captain Yokono also had no confidence. However, the only way to continue the attack before Colonel Yokono was that the Commander-in-Chief of the Kwantung Army General Yoshijiro Umezu was staring at him from behind, and the words in the telegram were still replaying in his mind. The hundreds of thousands of soldiers in the Second Corps, including himself, had no way out.

But what Colonel Yokono didn't know was that the Kwantung Army's Liaodong Peninsula frontline headquarters had already returned to Fengtian from Liaoyang. General Umezu Yoshijiro had an indifferent attitude as to whether the Kwantung Army's new Second Corps could succeed. He had no hope that these hundreds of thousands of cannon fodder could take on the important task of defending Fengtian. The only ones who could be relied on were the real soldiers of the Japanese Empire!

A fierce light shone in Colonel Yokono's single eye, and he looked at the demoralized Japanese officers fiercely, "Baga! As soldiers of the Japanese Empire, death in battle is the inevitable end. Don't forget, you are The Emperor's men are His Majesty's invincible warriors. I need you to lead the Manchurian soldiers with the most ferocious courage and launch a desperate charge! Gentlemen, I will be at the front of the charge!"

Under the night on the Liaodong Peninsula, all the remaining soldiers of the Second Corps of the Kwantung Army were engaged in this charge. There was no cover from artillery fire, and in the dark wilderness, groups of soldiers lined up in skirmish lines, silent. As they advanced, Colonel Yokono fulfilled his promise, with a bandage on his head. Wearing a white shirt, holding a command sword high in his right hand, he walked at the front without hesitation. Behind him were most of the Japanese officers, and behind him were ten Tens of thousands of Manchurian soldiers with dull faces.

The remaining Japanese officers were armed with a light machine gun with a crooked handle. They were at the end of the charge formation. This was specially explained by Colonel Yokono. Their identity was to supervise the battle team and they had the authority to shoot any officers and soldiers who retreated. It is also the last batch of assault force. After the officers and soldiers in front of them all fall to the ground under the dark night, they will launch the last attack!

In the dark night, a group of more than 100,000 people charged. It did bring a breathtaking and huge pressure. However, the soldiers who lacked the confidence to win were almost like walking zombies. They did not have the spirit to penetrate any obstacle. It's like groups of death row prisoners being led to the execution ground, waiting for the fatal gunfire!

There were so many wooden pile-like figures in front of the position. Of course, they could not escape the eyes of the independent division's forward observation post. The situation was immediately reported to each regiment, and finally, it was summarized to the commander of the Marine Corps, Major General Han Tie, in Anton City.

After hearing the report from Chief of Staff Colonel Wang Dongshan, Han Tie exploded at that time: "What? It's not over yet, the whole line is coming? Charge as a group! Whether it's a real Japs or two Japs, since they are here to die, let's Just grant him permission and order all the heavy artillery regiments to intercept with intensive firepower, and the frontline troops will launch firepower interception in sequence!"

On the battlefield in northern Andong that had been silent for several hours, the roar of artillery resounded in the night sky again. Looking from the headquarters, half of the sky was red with artillery fire. Han Tie stood on the highest balcony with his arms folded.

, looking motionlessly in the direction to the north of An Dong. Up to now, he is still wondering, what a bullshit Kwantung Army's new second corps. It knows that launching an attack will have no results, and it can only be beaten again.

Why are you still fighting after your head is broken and bleeding?

Chief of Staff Wang Dongshan came to the front and said: "Commander, Zhao Xudong, the leader of the advance team of the Eastern Front Pursuit Force, has brought important information and has arrived at the headquarters!"

Han Tie withdrew his gaze and hurriedly walked back. What he urgently needed to know now was the situation of the Japanese 107th Division that had retreated from the Longwang Temple to Tangchi in the south of Andong. These little devils had beaten them tepidly.

Fire always makes him wonder, is there any trick in it?

Arriving in the war room downstairs, a young captain officer in ragged clothes, with a tired face but full of energy, stood as straight as a javelin. When he saw Han Tie and several colonels coming in, he stood at attention with a "Pah!" and said loudly:

"Report

Inform the commander, Zhao Xudong, captain of the advance team of the brigade directly under the Liaodong Peninsula Theater Command, has led the team to pursue and defeat the Japanese army and has reached the Dragon King Temple area. Under the order of our brigade commander Meng Jianzhu, there is important information to report to the headquarters!"

Han Tie raised his hand to return the salute. He was stunned for a moment and said, "Wait a minute! I know Meng Jianzhu. Isn't he the commander of the 1st Regiment of the 6th Brigade? He is a very good fighter. He is the number one general under the brigade commander Jiang Xianliang. When did he become

A brigade commander? Also, how come there is an extra brigade directly under the theater command headquarters?"

When Tang Qiuli decided to establish a brigade directly under the theater command, Hantie was still struggling with the remnants of the 43rd Division of the Japanese Korean Garrison Army in the Tokugawa area of ​​the northern Korean Peninsula. After arriving at the battlefield in the northern Liaodong Peninsula, he was busy again.

In order to deal with the two-front attack of the Japanese army and the Manchurian rebels, now, a direct brigade suddenly appeared, and the regiment leader Meng Jianzhu became the brigade commander. Han Tie was confused.

Seeing Zhao Xudong standing upright, Chief of Staff Wang Dongshan looked embarrassed and hurriedly approached Han Tie's ear and said: "Commander, this is the order issued by the division commander before, and the fourth, fifth, and sixth brigades in the country will be withdrawn.

Troops that do not have small and medium-sized Japanese gas bombs are grouped together and designated as a brigade directly under the Liaodong Peninsula Theater Command. Meng Jianzhu, the former commander of the 1st Regiment of the 6th Brigade, is appointed as the brigade commander and is directly under the command of the division commander!"

Han Tie suddenly realized it and laughed loudly and said: "Meng Jianzhu did a good job. It is not easy to get into the eyes of the division commander. One guy became the brigade commander, and the soldiers under his command were made up of my three brigades."

Yes, interesting!”

"Hey, Chief of Staff, I'm getting an advantage here. Our Marine Corps is organized into nine brigades. Now, there is one more brigade directly under my command. The brigade commander is my regimental commander, and the soldiers are my original soldiers.

, the division commander will never be transferred to another corps, wouldn’t it mean that I have an extra brigade! A good thing, a great thing like pie in the sky!”

Wang Dongshan looked at Han Tie, who was intoxicated with excitement. Elder Haraziliu was speechless for a while, and whispered: "Commander, Captain Zhao Xudong, the leader of the advance team, is still waiting to report the situation to you!"

"Hmm!" Han Tie reacted, looked at the stunned Zhao Xudong and asked: "Zhao Xudong, which brigade are you originally from? Do you have any important situation report?"

Zhao Xudong was absolutely shocked and his head was numb. In the impressions of the Marine Corps officers, Commander Han Tie was an amazing figure. He turned a newly formed unit into a resounding first-class field corps. However,

When he saw the commander with a sarcastic look on his lips just now, Zhao Xudong almost thought that he was dazzled.

Hearing Han Tie ask himself, he came back to his senses and hurriedly replied: "Report to the commander, I was originally the commander of the fourth brigade, third regiment, fourth battalion and first company, and was later assigned to the brigade directly under the theater!"

Han Tie was overjoyed and said: "They are Huang Wanshan's soldiers. With Huang Wanshan's stingy spirit, a whole regiment of soldiers was lost. I don't know how distressed it is? Hahaha!" Seeing that Zhao Xudong was embarrassed and couldn't adapt to himself.

Only then did he realize the commander's majesty, pointing to the chair, "Sit down, sit down and say it!"

Zhao Xudong was indeed confused by the commander's colorful expression. How could he dare to sit down? He said: "Commander, under the orders of the brigade commander, I led an advance team of 150 people to catch the retreating Japanese army.

In front of the remnants of the 107th Division, we reached the Dragon King Temple area, which facilitated the exchange of fire between the Japanese troops. During the exchange of fire, I discovered that the Japanese troops attacking our blocking position at the Dragon King Temple only had one brigade of more than 700 people!"

"Later, I got in touch with several other advance teams and found one thing in common. The Japanese troops attacking our blocking position south of Andong were not large. After I reported the situation to the brigade headquarters, Brigadier Meng ordered

I report directly to the commander!"

"What?" Zhao Xudong's report, like a bolt of lightning, cut through the layers of fog in Han Tie's mind. Suddenly, he understood why the Japanese 107th Division was the first to arrive in the area south of Andong.

The remnants of the regiment are not actively attacking!

"The golden cicada escapes from its shell!" These four words popped out of Han Tie's mouth. He looked at Chief of Staff Wang Dongshan and said: "Chief of Staff, how do you judge?"

Wang Dongshan walked to the military map in a few steps, pointed to the location of Gaizhou, and said with certainty: "The remnants of the 107th Division used a small number of troops to attract our army's attention. Most of the remnants must have gone in the direction of Gaizhou.

Yes, because at that time, Wan Lipeng's Ninth Brigade had not yet occupied Gaizhou!"

"Hahaha!" Han Tie laughed loudly and heartily, "Throw yourself into a trap! Going to Gaizhou is also a dead end. Isn't this a stupid move? It spans the Liaodong Peninsula, a distance of more than 200 kilometers, and you will be on the way at any time.

, being surrounded and annihilated by my pursuing troops, that Umezu Yoshijiro lost his mind! What will the expressions of these little devils be like when they arrive in Gaizhou and find that this road is blocked? "

At this time, a staff officer put down the phone and reported: "Commander, there is a call from the blocking force north of Anton. The newly formed Second Corps of the Kwantung Army, regardless of casualties, continuously launched a collective charge towards our blocking position. The battle was very fierce.

However, under the powerful artillery bombardment of our army, there were heavy casualties. That is, the ammunition on the front line is somewhat low!"

Wang Dongshan ordered a staff officer to take Zhao Xudong down to eat and rest, and then said to Han Tie: "Commander, since the blocking line south of Andong has lost its practical effect, should we transfer some of our troops to the north to ease the situation?"

To resist the pressure on the troops?”
