Age of Conquest Reborn

The blocking battle from Panshan to Beining in Western Liaoning has indeed just begun, but the number of casualties among the eleven brigades of blocking troops made Han Tie tremble with fear. In less than two hours of fighting, the number of casualties among the troops had already reached two.

There were more than 10,000 people, of which more than 4,000 were killed.

Now, Han Tie doesn't even have a reserve team in hand. All its troops have been invested on the battlefield. Moreover, there is only one blocking line and no blocking depth. In other words, once it is broken through by the Kwantung Army at a certain point,

That is a situation in which the entire front line collapses. Hundreds of thousands of Kwantung Army soldiers will rush away like a tide along the breach. The military strength is at a disadvantage, which is the biggest problem for Han Railway at the moment.

The Third Army and the Fifth Army of the Kwantung Army were desperate, launching hand-to-hand charges again and again, like surging waves, hitting the blocking position of the independent division troops. At the critical juncture where blood and flesh were flying, another attack came from behind.

Here comes the Seventh Army of the Kwantung Army. The three armies of the Kwantung Army are shoulder to shoulder. Hundreds of thousands of soldiers form three attack arrows. With the flesh and blood of the soldiers, they rush towards the blocking position of the independent division and the overwhelming artillery fire. The dense

Rain of bullets.

This is an unprecedented blocking and breakthrough battle. The independent division troops participating in the battle are all main field brigades that have fought many major battles. They have never seen such desperate fighting methods. Only the soldiers are left.

Shoot instinctively and shoot again!

The eleven heavy artillery regiments belonging to the Korean Railway Army lined up in the artillery position behind the blocking line, and smashed the dense artillery shells into the charge formation of the Kwantung Army soldiers. It was precisely because of these heavy artillery that the Kwantung Army was contained.

The soldiers attacked ferociously, and although the blocking position was shaky, no one was breached. But at the most critical moment, something went wrong.

"Reporting to the commander, I have received a report from the forward troops. Due to the fierce fighting, the ammunition consumption is too high. The ammunition stored by the troops is only enough for five hours of consumption! Especially the ammunition consumption of the artillery troops is even worse, and it can only support four hours.

The amount of shelling ammunition!" A major combat staff officer hurriedly ran into the headquarters and reported.

"What?" Han Tie became furious when he heard this, "No way! When we were in Tokugawa, I applied for priority supply rights. All the ammunition reserves were enough to support us in fighting for more than five consecutive days. How come we only fought for a few hours?

, the ammunition is about to be used up? Check! After conveying my order, the Political Training Department of the Corps will immediately check the logistics. If it is due to logistics reasons, I will shoot the logistics director!" His eyes were red and he roared.

No wonder Han Tie was furious. Before he was ordered to rush to the western Liaoning area to block the Kwantung Army, the experienced Han Tie had already anticipated how difficult this blocking battle would be. So he applied for the priority supply right through hard work, and provided all

The troops have been replenished with enough ammunition and supplies needed for five days of high-intensity combat. Han Tie attaches great importance to the new mission and is carefully prepared!

For this reason, Major General Zhou Yushan, deputy director of the Logistics Department of the Independent Division and commander of the Peking Joint Service Department, also made fun of Han Tie, "I said Commander Han. The logistics supply of our independent division has always been unimpeded, no matter where the troops go,

, the logistics supply line follows wherever it goes, why do you always seem to be stuck? Don't worry, your brother's guns can't be stopped, I will replenish it for you as much as you need!"

The least likely place to go wrong. If there is a problem, especially the various caliber artillery shells required by the artillery, which is an important firepower support to support the blocking position, it can only be tied with the hundreds of thousands of Kwantung Army. If there are not ten

It is unknown whether the several heavy artillery regiments and troops can block the Kwantung Army. Damn it, are you going to fight with the Japs on bayonets? Can Han Tie not get furious!

Chief of Staff Wang Dongshan signaled the staff to retreat, and then persuaded Han Tie: "Commander, there is no problem with the Corps Logistics Department. Listen, since the start of the blockade war, the sound of gunfire has not stopped. Such high-intensity

In a blocking battle, the consumption of ammunition must be staggering. Before the war, we had underestimated the difficulty and intensity of this blocking battle, as well as the desperate efforts of the Kwantung Army soldiers!"

Han Tie stared at Wang Dongshan with a livid face, "Tell me, what should we do? Even if Zhou Yushan tries his best to supply us, it's too late now!"

Wang Dongshan said confidently: "Commander, the only way is to report the situation our troops are facing to the division commander and request air supplies!"

Han Tie raised his eyebrows and said: "Well, that's a good idea. Communications Director, immediately send a telegram to the division commander. The Liaoxi Blockade War is fierce. The Kwantung Army troops are attacking like a wave. Due to excessive ammunition consumption, the amount of ammunition currently stored by our department is

It is not enough to support a day's battle. We specifically request the division commander to provide air supplies. Otherwise, all our soldiers will use bayonets to fight the Kwantung Army soldiers. Urgent!"

The telegram soon arrived in Tang Qiuli's hands. He looked at the telegram, smiled and said, "This Han Tie is threatening me. Director Ge immediately ordered Liu Cuigang to organize an air supply to the Han Tie troops.

Within two hours, the ammunition required by the troops must be completed

For supplies, if the soldiers have to fight with the Kwantung Army soldiers for bayonets due to lack of ammunition, I ask Liu Cuigang for you, haven't the aviation bomber units arrived in the bombing airspace yet? The Korean Railway troops are under great pressure and they need aerial firepower.

Support!"

Ge Zhenzhuang first handed over the order to a combat staff officer, issued it in an urgent manner, and whispered a few more instructions. He turned around and said to Tang Qiuli: "Commander, it will take the bomber force thirty minutes to arrive for the bombing raid."

Area! The airdrop locations planned by the staff office are Panshan, Qingduizi, Datun, and Beining. Ammunition can be replenished to the front-line troops nearby!"

Tang Qiuli glanced at Ge Zhenzhuang appreciatively, nodded and said: "Very good! Call Han Tie back. Within two hours, the required ammunition can be replenished by airdrop. Let Han Tie free his hands and feet to fight, and don't be troubled by ammunition issues.

!”

On the battlefield of the Beining section of the Western Liaoning Interdiction Campaign, Major General Wan Lipeng, commander of the 9th Marine Corps Brigade, put down his rocket launcher and spit out the dirt in his mouth. A Kwantung Army tank emitted black smoke and ignited a raging fire.

The position of the 4th Battalion and 2nd Company of the 1st Regiment of the 9th Brigade was less than 50 meters away. As the last tank was blown up, the Kwantung Army soldiers who accompanied the attack retreated under the dense rain of bullets, leaving corpses everywhere.

Go down.

The use of troops of the 9th Brigade has reached its limit. The brigade guard company has become the only mobile force. Under the leadership of Wan Lipeng, it rushes to where it is needed. The battle just now was extremely thrilling. More than a dozen Kwantung Army tanks

, covering a regiment of soldiers, and rushed to the position of the second company. When Wan Lipeng arrived, several rocket launchers fell to the bullets. Without saying a word, he picked up a rocket launcher and exploded it one after another.

Killed several Kwantung Army tanks.

Therefore, Wan Lipeng also became a key shooting target for the Japanese infantry. If the guard company commander had not always been vigilant about the safety of the brigade commander, Major General Wan Lipeng would have fallen on the battlefield at this moment and became the first casualty in the Western Liaoning Interdiction War.

A major general and brigade commander.

The attack of the Kwantung Army troops was defeated again. Wan Lipeng breathed a long sigh of relief and fell down in the trench. He looked at the sky filled with war smoke and the morning sun was all gray, grinning.

He muttered to himself: "It's so damn enjoyable! It's been a few years since I've had the opportunity to go into battle in person. Three little devil tanks. It seems that my old Wanbao Sword is still young!"

The guard company commander half-knelt beside him, listening to the brigade commander's self-indulgence, and shouted angrily: "Brigade commander, you are violating the division's instructions and the regulations of the corps. I want to report to the commander that you are prohibited from participating in the battle at the forward position.

!Also, it is my duty to protect your safety!"

Wan Lipeng looked at the guard company commander who had been following him for several years and was good at martial arts and quite handsome. He curled his lips and said, "Save it, little Guozi. If you dare to make a snitch, how will I deal with you?"

Besides, do we still have extra soldiers? No, then why can't I, the brigade commander, participate in the battle? My soldiers are fighting hard on the position, and I am hiding in the shelter. Do you think I can stay safe?

"

The young guard company commander Guo felt that the brigade commander was quibbling and was about to argue. Suddenly, he seemed to hear something, "Brigadier commander, listen, is it the noise of an airplane?"

Wan Lipeng's attention was immediately attracted by the words of the guard company commander. He listened carefully. Amidst the fierce roar of guns and the smoke-filled sky, there were waves of dull engine "buzzing".

"The sound, yes, it was the sound of an airplane.

"Thank God, the aviation guys are finally here!" Wan Lipeng laughed and said.

The bomber group and fighter group of the independent division aviation appeared on the blocking battle battlefield from Panshan to Beining. In an instant, the situation of the battlefield changed. Heavy aviation bombs like raindrops hit the piles of Kwantung Army soldiers who were charging hand-to-hand.

Inside, it hit the Kwantung Army tanks and the Kwantung Army's artillery positions. A wall of death was blown up in front of the independent division's blocking position. The corpses of countless Kwantung Army soldiers were flying and shattered in the flames of the explosion.

!

The aviation fighter jets dived dexterously in the air, pouring strings of bullets onto the fire points of the Kwantung Army troops on the ground, beating the Kwantung Army soldiers staggering. The Kwantung Army troops on the ground were powerless against the strikes from the air.

A living target unilaterally slaughtered

Later, a large-scale fighter group and bomber group of the independent division aviation arrived on the battlefield in time, changing the battlefield situation in an instant. Large-scale bombing and strafing disrupted the Kwantung Army's offensive rhythm and created a crazy offensive momentum.

The Kwantung Army troops caused huge casualties.

Lieutenant General Nishimura, commander of the Kwantung Army's Third Army, and Lieutenant General Nitta, commander of the Fifth Army, put down their binoculars with pale faces in their respective headquarters. A sense of powerlessness and deep fear struck the two Kwantung Army soldiers.

In the hearts of senior generals, they felt that Western Liaoning would become the place where the lives of hundreds of thousands of Kwantung Army soldiers ended!
