Age of Conquest Reborn

The sound of artillery rumbled, and countless streams of light flew through the air, turbulent and lighting up the night. Feng Jiwu stood on the high ground where the temporary headquarters was located. He had a panoramic view of the battlefield without a telescope. The artillery battle was like a battlefield.

The most cruel and gorgeous scene, especially at night, was when the artillery fire of his own troops had an overwhelming advantage. A smile appeared on the corner of Feng Jiwu's mouth.

"Chief of Staff, in just twenty minutes, our rocket launcher group opened a large hole in the planned breakthrough direction. Its power is unparalleled. The division commander always pays attention to the construction of artillery. It can be said that he is far-sighted!" Feng Jiwu

He turned to Chief of Staff Zhang Hansheng and said.

Zhang Hansheng's eyes never left the battlefield or the area where the flames were blazing. When he heard the commander talking to him, he replied: "Commander, the rocket launcher group has done a great job. The Kwantung Army's surface position in the planned breakthrough area must now be basically

They have been completely destroyed, but what I am worried about is the underground fortifications of the Kwantung Army provided by the intelligence. I am afraid that the rocket launcher group alone cannot destroy them all!"

Feng Jiwu smiled and said: "Your worries are unnecessary. Zheng Yong's trump card is not only the rocket launcher group, not to mention the aviation force's night-flying bomber formation, which is flying into the airspace of the war zone. Those large-caliber artillery shells and heavy

Aerial bombs are enough for the Kwantung Army on the north bank of the Ling River!"

As soon as Feng Jiwu finished speaking, there was a dull loud noise from behind. Countless large-caliber artillery shells, with long tail flames, passed through the night sky above their heads, flying across the Daling River like meteors, fiercely.

It hit the blazing Kwantung Army position on the other side. After eliminating the artillery of the 18th Division of the Kwantung Army, the heavy artillery group was silent for a few minutes. After the rocket group stopped shelling, it began to show its power again.

The bombardment of the rocket launcher group brought a sea of ​​fire to the Kwantung Army, while the bombardment of the heavy artillery group brought continuous explosions in the night, like a volcanic eruption, with bullets flying like flying bullets.

At the explosion point, at first, the fire caused by the explosion of the shell could still be distinguished.

Later, I couldn't see the number clearly. The entire north bank of the Daling River was filled with steaming smoke and red clouds. It illuminated half of the northern sky. On the Kwantung Army's defensive position, if it was rolling like a furnace of boiling molten iron, the earth was rolling.

Different vibrations and explosions blew past my ears like a hurricane.

Feng Jiwu and Zhang Hansheng are also experienced veterans who have fought countless battles. However, they have never seen the scene of thousands of large-caliber howitzers firing. "Commander, it seems that my worries are indeed true."

is redundant, this

When heavy artillery shells hit, even reinforced concrete fortifications will be blown to pieces! Even if the underground fortifications of the Kwantung Army were not directly bombarded, the shock wave alone can achieve miraculous effects!" Zhang Hansheng said with emotion!

.

Feng Jiwu laughed, but the laughter was lost in the huge explosion. He shouted loudly: "Chief of Staff, don't forget, there are also night-flying bombers. I think again, after the joint ground-air bombardment and bombing,

The Kwantung Army on the north bank of the Daling River may not be able to resist!"

The huge shock wave in the underground headquarters of the 18th Division of the Kwantung Army shook the Japanese officers inside so that they could not even walk normally. Fortunately, the underground headquarters of the division was a multi-layered reinforced concrete structure.

It must be more than ten meters deep underground, otherwise, the shock wave alone would kill the Japanese officers inside!

The division commander, Lieutenant General Watanabe, turned pale and held a microphone in his hand. If the rocket launcher group of the independent division artillery shocked him, then the shelling of thousands of large-caliber heavy artillery gave him a shock.

They were in despair. All wired communications leading to the forward positions were interrupted. Under such fierce bombardment by the artillery of the Independent Division, the telephone lines buried several meters deep underground were blown up.

The radio station of the division headquarters can contact the combat units at the brigade level, but Division Commander Watanabe does not want to contact. Even the sturdy underground headquarters of the division, which is far away from the front line, is under the artillery fire of the independent division, like a precarious building.

Xiaozhou, how good can the frontline fortifications be?

Ever since several field artillery regiments disappeared under the fierce fire of the independent division's artillery like snowballs falling into a pot of boiling water, Watanabe Division Commander's thinking has become numb. He knew that the battle with the independent division in the direction of Jinzhou

The huge gap in strength of the troops was also clear, and they were also aware of the disadvantages in equipment. However, Lieutenant General Watanabe had always believed that the gap between the two sides could be leveled by relying on the natural barrier of the Daling River and solid fortifications.

Therefore, after receiving the order from the Ninth Army to cover the main force of the Kwantung Army's retreat to Fengtian, although he knew that this was a near-death mission, he was still confident that at least he would be able to defend the Linghai line defended by the 18th Division.

On the frontal position, after blocking the independent division troops for at least five days, the entire 18th Division was shattered and tens of thousands of independent division soldiers were buried with them. It was also a good ending!

Amidst the sound of artillery that tore the earth apart, Commander Watanabe realized that he was wrong, very wrong. He did not expect that the independent division's firepower advantage would be so obvious that it was one-sided. "Under such a fierce bombardment, even if

How many Imperial soldiers can survive if they are protected by strong reinforced concrete fortifications?" He lamented in his heart that after the independent division's artillery fire stopped, what followed was an overwhelming attack by infantry, but he could do nothing!

The shelling was coming to an end. In the artillery headquarters of the Independent Division, the commander, Major General Zheng Yong, was in his usual posture, with one foot on the empty shell box, holding up the phone and shouting, "Okay! The shelling effect has been achieved, the channel

It’s been opened! The little Japanese’s defense system has been beaten to pieces, good! Confirmed? Well, the report from the forward artillery observation station, good!”

Putting down the phone, Zheng Yong smiled all over his face. He felt quite proud in his heart. The artillerymen under his command were not embarrassed. First they fired rocket launchers and then heavy artillery. His blood was boiling when he saw it. He picked up another phone and said, "I'm Zheng Yong."

, pick me up Commander Feng!"

"Commander Feng? I'm Zheng Yong! I received a report from the forward artillery observation post. The planned breakthrough area has been opened. Well, it's almost razed to the ground. Our artillery work is done. What's left is

Battelle's tanks and your brother's infantry have done the work! By the way, the artillery has done all the work in front of you. Could you please send a telegram so that you don't have to bother with the aviation bombers?" Zheng Yong said relaxedly and humorously.

On the other end of the phone, Feng Jiwu also had a relaxed look on his face. After listening to Zheng Yong's words, he couldn't help laughing and said: "Commander Zheng, the bomber group of our aviation force will arrive in the bombing airspace in ten minutes."

Now, if you ask them to go back, I can’t say anything. How about you send a telegram to Liu Cuigang and Le Yiqin? Just say, your aviation force is no longer needed in the Liaoxi Campaign, so why don’t you just stay here?”

Zheng Yong grinned and said hurriedly: "Yes! Yes! Commander Feng, even if I didn't say anything, I sent a telegram to the aviation force? Liu Cuigang is easy to talk to. He is reasonable. That crazy Le Yiqinle is unreasonable and is a good person."

The master we are dealing with? Aren't I asking for trouble?" The progress of the battle was so optimistic that the two commanders started joking with each other.

While Feng Jiwu was talking to Zheng Yong, the shelling of the artillery group was coming to an end. The huge explosions that shook people to their cores finally gradually became sparse. In the fortifications on the north bank of the Daling River, the surviving Kwantung Army

The officers and soldiers felt as if they had been through hell. Their faces were sallow and they were in shock. But what surprised these Kwantung Army officers and soldiers was that the artillery fire of the Independent Division did not extend, but stopped!

The commander of the Watanabe Division was also surprised and confused. The battlefield tonight was full of evil. The fortifications of the 18th Division were first bombarded by the new artillery of the Independent Division, and then, again

The heavy artillery bombardment, followed by the desperate artillery fire, went against the norm and stopped like this. The artillery fire should be extended!

"What tricks do those Chinese people who don't play their cards according to routines have?" Lieutenant General Watanabe rolled his dull eyes in confusion, thinking depressingly that no matter what, this hellish bombardment finally passed.

Down the line, it was still a fight between infantrymen.

"Come here, convey my order to all the units you belong to, and immediately enter the position and prepare to counterattack the independent division infantry crossing the river. Let me emphasize that no matter how much the ground position is destroyed, repair it immediately and resolutely counterattack!" He issued the order after the battle began.

, the first command.

Lieutenant General Watanabe had just given the order when bursts of roars were heard in the silent night sky, but they were definitely not the sound of flying artillery shells. The roars were getting closer and closer, and soon enveloped the entire sky, "Bombers!" Watanabe

The face of the commander of the border division,

All of a sudden, he became sallow and slumped down on the chair. He understood why the artillery fire of the independent division did not follow the routine and shelled deep into his defense. It turned out that the hateful Chinese people had sent out a group of bombers again!

Hundreds of night bombers were divided into several echelons and began to dive according to the coordinates provided by the ground forces. In fact, the north bank of the Daling River, with fires burning everywhere, is the best landmark. There is no threat from fighter jets and no ground air defense.

ballistics of fire

, this kind of bombing, for the independent division aviation night flight bomber formation, is similar to the usual training, but it has more real feeling of actual combat than the training. The thought of throwing the bomb on the head of the little devil, the bomber crew members

We are so excited!

In a high-level night bombing, the aviation force's night-flying bomber formation used thousands of heavy aerial bombs to blast out a sea of ​​​​fire ten kilometers wide and dozens of kilometers deep on the north bank of the Daling River and the Kwantung Army's defensive position.

The Kwantung Army's defense system, which had been ravaged by the heavy artillery group and the heavy artillery group, was ravaged again.

Double shelling, an aerial bombing, and the underground fortifications of the Kwantung Army's defense system were not spared. Feng Jiwu watched with great interest and simply sat cross-legged on the grass, "That's almost it!" he thought easily.
