Age of Conquest Reborn

Major General Wan Lipeng, commander of the Ninth Brigade of the Marine Corps who rushed to the blocking site in Bac Ninh, ignored the issue of non-combat attrition of the troops. In his opinion, because the blocking site of the Ninth Brigade was the farthest away, the transportation department of the Corps Headquarters should try its best to

They mobilized trucks and mechanized the troops to march for more than 200 kilometers without stopping. It was certain that the soldiers were tired, but if they were not running with two soles under their feet, how could there be any non-combat attrition?

Chief of Staff Xu Lei saw that the brigade commander was a little unhappy, but he still said: "About one-tenth, there are more than 1,500 people, more than a reinforced battalion!"

Wan Li Peng was so angry that he asked loudly: "Why are there so many? You are so delicate and expensive, but you have trouble riding in a truck?"

Xu Lei hurriedly explained: "The main reason is that the troops have been fighting continuously, and the soldiers have been exhausted and exhausted. Part of it is due to gastrointestinal problems. However, as long as they rest for a day or two, they can regain their combat effectiveness!"

Wan Lipeng's expression softened and he said: "In this case, the Chief of Staff, in the name of the Staff Office, will temporarily organize these soldiers into the Beining City garrison. If they cannot go to the front line, then keep an eye on the rear for me.

The Ministry sends a staff officer to take command!"

Xu Lei's eyes lit up, "Brigadier, this is a good idea. People can be put to their best use. There is no need to deploy troops to guard Beining. Well, this is a great move!"

Wan Lipeng smiled proudly and said: "What does it mean to be smart? This is smart. Let's learn a little!"

As soon as Wan Lipeng's reply came, fierce gunfire came from the direction of Beining. The Second Regiment and the Third Regiment began their attack on Beining, and his attention was immediately drawn to it. As for the clever question, he had long forgotten it.

to the back of the head.

An hour after the battle to attack Beining started, Wan Lipeng received a phone call to report that the attack on the third regiment advanced to the central city of Beining. However, after being attacked, the Kwantung Army troops in the city shrank their troops and relied on a few buildings.

The strong buildings were defended, the troops' attack was blocked, and casualties occurred.

Holding the phone, Wan Lipeng's anger suddenly emerged. "Commander of the third regiment? Is your head a lump of wood? The bigger stronghold is stuck. Concentrate all artillery fire, whether it is mortars or mortars."

Rocket launchers and recoilless guns, but hit them hard and flatten those buildings for me. By the way, I'll send some heavy artillery over there!"

I just put down the phone. A military jeep came from the west with billowing smoke and dust. The jeep stopped with a creak. The person who got out of the car was a major officer and ran to Wan Lipeng.

The report came: "Brigadier Commander, I am a reconnaissance group.

The commander of the reconnaissance battalion, Hao Dapeng, has been ordered by the regiment commander to report an emergency situation to you. The reconnaissance battalion discovered a large number of Kwantung Army troops 20 kilometers away from Goubangzi and Luoluo Fort. They are running over. It is expected to be less than an hour later.

Within a short period of time, we can engage in a firefight with our army!"

"What?" Wan Lipeng screamed and asked hurriedly: "How many people are there and how many roads are there?"

Hao Dapeng replied: "Preliminary estimate is that there are about 30,000 to 40,000 people, as well as tanks and cavalry. A total of five routes have been detected so far!"

Wan Lipeng's heart suddenly rose to his throat. Thirty to forty thousand little devils came so fast. He had three regiments of troops, two of which were attacking Beining. He didn't have two hours.

, the battle cannot be ended. From Goubangzi to Luoluo Fort, there are only more than 6,000 troops in the first regiment. The little devils also have tank cavalry. The eighth brigade and the first brigade of the Southeast Mobile Corps will need more than two at the earliest.

It takes hours to get to Bac Ninh area.

In other words, in the past two hours, the Ninth Brigade, with the strength of a regiment, had to stop 30,000 to 40,000 tanks and cavalry of the little Japanese who were eager to retreat. This battle was not easy to fight, and the troop casualties were huge.

, if the Beining blockade line is broken through, more Kwantung Army troops will escape through this opening, and then they will be the sinners of the independent division!

Wan Lipeng's face was ashen and his teeth were clenching. After thinking sharply, he gave a decisive order: "Chief of Staff, order the second regiment attacking Beining to withdraw from the battle immediately and rush to the Goubangzi line.

Together with the first regiment, they blocked the Japanese army and ordered the third regiment to leave one battalion behind.

The remaining troops immediately rushed to the front line of Luo Luo Fort and told the commanders at all levels that the time to test our ninth brigade has come. If the little devil breaks through our blocking position, everyone will fall, starting with me.

On the battlefield, let the little devils step on our corpses!"

Chief of Staff Xu Lei quickly issued the order. The commanders of the second and third regiments, who were attacking several buildings where Kwantung Army soldiers were guarding in the urban area of ​​Beining, were stunned. The battle was still going on.

At this critical moment, why did the brigade commander give such an order?

The confusion of the two regiment commanders was only a matter of a moment. They immediately led their troops to withdraw from the battle, got on the truck, and flew straight towards Goubangzi and Luoluo Fort. Behind the convoy was the brigade heavy artillery.

The regiment's artillery carriage and the logistics department truck loaded with ammunition.

Wan Lipeng breathed a sigh of relief. With nearly three regiments of more than 13,000 troops, it would not be a problem to hold off 30,000 to 40,000 Japs for four to five hours. They would definitely be able to support the Eighth Brigade and the First Brigade of the Southeast Mobile Corps.

When he arrived, he had enough confidence in his troops.

But he turned around and looked at Beining City. Listening to the sound of gunfire that had become sparse, Wan Lipeng felt worried again. To be honest, it was definitely not enough to attack Beining with a battalion of troops. According to previous reports, there were at least 100 soldiers in Beining City.

More than two thousand little devils, plus

The Puppet Manchurian rebel soldiers in the previous division were not eliminated. If, at the most critical moment, the Japs and the Puppet Manchurian rebels in Beining City stabbed them in the back while blocking the Japs withdrawing from Liaoxi, then the first

The position of the Ninth Brigade is in danger!

"Damn it! We're short of soldiers! In a war, when did I reduce the soldiers to a battalion and calculate the time to use them? Fight Beining from behind, and block the little Japs in front. I wish I could use one soldier as a dozen soldiers!"

Wan Lipeng sighed and said to himself.

Chief of Staff Xu Lei has been frowning. He knows that although this is the best way, the strength of the blocking line is still far from enough. The biggest hidden danger is not the 40,000 to 50,000 Kwantung Army soldiers rushing over, but

In Beining City, the two people who have not yet been eliminated are

There are more than a thousand Kwantung Army soldiers, and a whole division of more than 5,000 puppet Manchukuo soldiers. If the blocking battle reaches a critical moment, the Kwantung Army and the puppet Manchurian rebels in Beining City suddenly rush out, and the blocking line of the Ninth Brigade

, which immediately resulted in a complete collapse.

Soldiers, what is lacking is still strength, Xu Lei racked his brains to think, suddenly his eyes lit up, and said: "Brigadier Commander, don't we still have more than 1,500 non-combat attrition soldiers, who are not committed to attacking Beining?"

In the battle, although the physical condition of these soldiers is not very good, they are still an important force! If they cannot be annihilated quickly, then they will be surrounded. At least, it can ensure that the little devils in Beining City will not stab us in the back.

knife!"

"Okay! The chief of staff has a lot of clever ideas. Let's do this. Tell these soldiers that as long as they can move, hold a gun, or crawl, they must surround the little devils in Beining City!" Wan Lipeng said fiercely.

In Kailu County, eastern Mongolia, Chief of Staff Zhao Yu took several telegrams and walked into the house of division commander Tang Qiuli. "The division commander received a telegram from Commander Han Tie that the troops of the northern Liaodong Peninsula Combat Group have arrived at the line from Panshan to Beining."

, among them, Panshan County has been occupied by our army, and is in fierce battle with the Kwantung Army troops, and Beining County is under attack!"

"Okay! The speed of action of the Korean Railway troops is quite fast. They are just in time to retreat in front of the Kwantung Army in the western Liaoning area. Well, the battle in western Liaoning can proceed as planned!" Tang Qiuli breathed a sigh of relief obviously.

, said happily.

Zhao Yuhe continued: "Commander, there is a serious problem. In the direction of Beining, the only troops arriving so far are the Wanlipeng Division of the 9th Marine Brigade. The telegram just received mentioned that Beining County is under attack.

However, in the west direction of Bac Ninh, we found 40,000 to 50,000 Kwantung Army troops rushing towards us. I am worried that since we only have one brigade, it will be very difficult to stop so many Kwantung Army troops!"

"Huh?" Tang Qiuli frowned and said displeasedly: "What happened to Han Tie? Beining is the northern point of blocking the Kwantung Army's retreat to Fengtian from the west of Liaoning. Umezu Yoshijiro will definitely fight for it, why only

Can we send a brigade of troops?"

Seeing the division commander blaming Han Tie, Zhao Yuhe hurriedly explained: "Division commander, the situation is like this. Commander Han Tie has assembled three brigades on the front line of Beining. However, among them, the Eighth Marine Brigade and the Southeast Mobile Brigade

The 1st Brigade of the Corps is still more than two hours away from Bac Ninh, and the Kwantung Army troops suddenly accelerated their retreat, which is why we are now in a situation where our blocking forces are weak!"

Tang Qiuli was stunned, and then said: "Now, all Wan Lipeng needs is reinforcements. He immediately ordered Liu Cuigang and Le Yiqin, and the aviation force to be on the line from Panshan to Beining. Our army blocked the front of the position and provided sufficient firepower air support. The focus is on

Bac Ninh, in addition, ordered Han Tie to supervise the two brigades heading towards Bac Ninh, and they must reach Bac Ninh within an hour and a half!"

At this time, on the front line from Panshan Mountain to Beining in Western Manchuria, the blocking battle entered a white-hot stage as soon as it began. From Panshan Mountain to Beining, on the more than 100-kilometer-long front line, guns and artillery fired. The sky was filled with gunpowder smoke, which almost obscured the morning.

sunshine, retreating

The Kwantung Army troops put out a desperate posture and launched division-scale attacks one after another. The Han Railway troops, on the other hand, rushed to meet the enemy. They dug shallow trenches in each blocking position, and the Kwantung Army soldiers formed a group.

Pounced upon them in piles.

Under the all-out attack of the Ninth Army of the Kwantung Army, the pressure on the Han Railway troops increased sharply, especially the Ninth Brigade in the direction of Bac Ninh.
