Age of Conquest Reborn

Lieutenant General Yoshinaga, the commander of the Kwantung Army's border garrison, did not feel anything wrong at all about making the decision to let more than 20,000 wounded soldiers stay to block the independent division troops that would surely pursue them. This is why he did not feel any discomfort at all.

War, cruel war.

More than 20,000 wounded soldiers are the biggest burden for the border garrison when they move to the battlefield in the Far East. They not only slow down the marching speed of the troops, but more importantly, they also affect the morale of the soldiers. Carrying missing arms and legs, all over the body

bloody, painful

The march of "shenyin" companions is a great torture to the physical and mental strength of the soldiers. Even if the independent division troops do not pursue, the hundreds of kilometers of march from Outer Mongolia to the Far East will torture the soldiers crazy.

.

Therefore, after making this decision, Lieutenant General Yoshinaga felt relaxed in his heart, as if he had thrown away a heavy burden. More than 20,000 wounded Kwantung Army soldiers were placed on the Gobi Desert, empty.

With their eyes, they watched more than 60,000 companions gradually disappear, until their figures disappeared in the steaming air currents from the ground. The breath of despair permeated the hearts of every wounded Kwantung Army soldier. They knew that they had been abandoned and ruthless.

Abandoned!

Different from the despair of the soldiers, Colonel Suzuki, who was appointed as the commander of the wounded soldiers, seemed particularly excited. This fanatical militarist actually had a sense of mission to be ordered in danger. He was leaning on crutches and dragging a shelled

The fragments opened a large gash in the wounded leg, and officers of all ranks among the wounded soldiers were summoned together.

What Colonel Suzuki wants to arrange is one thing, "Gentlemen, do not be downcast. It is a great honor for us to be able to stay. It proves that we still have the opportunity and ability to be loyal to His Majesty the Emperor and the Empire of Japan. Now I order,

All the wounded soldiers are reorganized according to the group formation, and you are the group captains and squadron leaders. We will definitely be able to inflict maximum damage on the pursuing Chinese soldiers!"

A major, whose leg was broken, turned pale, and asked with confusion and confusion in his eyes: "Colonel Suzuki, what do we rely on to stop the pursuit of the Chinese troops? Just rely on the rifles and grenades in our hands.

?”

Osaka Suzuki smiled ferociously and replied: "Yes, but you have also missed the most important point, which is the spirit of the Japanese Empire's samurai. Every imperial soldier, including me, must be covered with grenades, and

, there was no need to build fortifications, so they lay there scattered, and when the Chinese soldiers came over, they immediately fired the grenades on their bodies. They died together with the Chinese soldiers. More than 20,000 imperial warriors, think about how much damage they can cause to the Chinese soldiers.

casualties?"

Colonel Suzuki was even more ruthless than Lieutenant General Yoshinaga, and more than 20,000 wounded soldiers were treated as human bombs by him. According to Colonel Suzuki's plan, lives were exchanged for lives. Even if it was a one-to-one ratio, there were at least more than 20,000 independent division soldiers.

The soldiers will fall in the explosion of the grenade. Optimistic estimates may cause more than 40,000 to 50,000 casualties to the independent division troops on the battlefield. Just thinking about it makes Colonel Suzuki tremble with excitement.

At the same time, Colonel Suzuki was also smart. He did not order these wounded soldiers to build fortifications. They were all wounded soldiers missing arms and legs. If they were to build fortifications on the Gobi Desert where the surface temperature was so hot that they would not wait for the independent division troops.

If pursued, the wounded soldiers will die of exhaustion or thirst.

Therefore, Colonel Suzuki's next order was even simpler, "Gentlemen, please tell the soldiers of the empire that when those Chinese soldiers arrive in front of you, don't move, maintain your strength, and don't fire back. I need to

It means that every warrior of His Majesty the Emperor has the physical strength to fire the grenade on his body, that’s all, gentlemen, go and arrange it immediately, we don’t have much time left!”

Ever since, on the desolate Gobi Desert in Outer Mongolia, under the fire-like sunshine, more than 20,000 wounded Kwantung Army soldiers were lying on the hot ground like dead fish in a dry pond, looking at the sky with empty eyes.

, desperate and determined, what are you mumbling in your mouth?

The front lines of the pursuing troops directly under the corps were Liu Hongzhang's 1st brigade and Chu Ziye's 4th brigade. Two mechanized infantry brigades were lined up in a row, advancing hand in hand. In front of them were hundreds of tanks, with their tracks kicking up dust all over the sky.

Behind them are countless infantry and artillery, and behind them are hundreds of thousands of main troops of the directly affiliated corps. The dust rolled up fills the Gobi Desert in Outer Mongolia, blocking out the sky and the sun, and carrying a murderous aura!

However, from the speed point of view, the speed of the directly affiliated corps' pursuit of troops was not too fast. On the one hand, it was limited by the road conditions in the Gobi Desert. On the other hand, it was also the order of acting commander Zhao Yuhe, "The pursuit of each brigade

The speed should not be too fast!"

Major General Liu Hongzhang, commander of the 1st Brigade, closed his eyes slightly and leaned against the armored command vehicle to rest his mind. His body swayed back and forth with the bumps of the vehicle, and he was thinking about Chief of Staff Zhao's order in his head, "Interesting!

Seeing that the little devil was beaten to a point where his legs were broken, and he was still not allowed to catch up, Chief of Staff Zhao’s use of troops is becoming more and more confusing?”

The armored command vehicle ran over a big rock, and the vehicle body jolted hard. Liu Hongzhang opened his eyes and said thoughtfully: "Cheng Lin, tell me, what does Chief of Staff Zhao's order mean? Let's take our time.

is attached to the back of the little devil, not the rest

Did the little devils all rush into the mouths of the troops of the Outer Mongolia Field Corps? These guys, when the fight started, they tried their best to pull into their own mouths, so that our main brigade did not get much profit and water. At this moment

Son, Chief of Staff Zhao still favors them?"

Colonel Liu Chenglin, the chief of staff of the first brigade, thought for a moment, shook his head and said, "That's not necessarily what Chief of Staff Zhao meant. I think it might be to give the remnants of the Kwantung Army that had broken out time to assemble together for centralized annihilation.

You don’t have to chase me all over the Gobi Desert after a fight!"

"Well, that makes sense!" Liu Hongzhang stretched out his thumb and praised Liu Chenglin. At this moment, a military jeep almost skipped over on the gravel-strewn Gobi Desert, following the march of the vanguard, relying on

Colonel Gao Jingkun, the former deputy brigade commander, jumped from the jeep and came towards the armored command vehicle from the brigade headquarters.

Liu Hongzhang hurriedly asked the driver to stop, and then Liu Chenglin jumped out of the car together, took a few steps to meet him, and asked angrily: "Jing Kun, the vanguard group was blocked by the Japs? But why didn't I hear the gunfire?

ah!"

Gao Jingkun first took out the kettle, drank a large sip of water, wiped his mouth and said: "Brigadier Commander, Cheng Lin, found a large number of little Japs, quite a few, but no blockade was carried out, and no fortifications were found. The strange thing is that they were all lying on the ground.

On the Gobi Desert, there was something similar to a corpse, but it was definitely not a corpse. It was most likely a wounded soldier of the Jaap. I was worried that there was some fraud in it, so I ordered the leading group to stop one kilometer away from the Jaap. No, I hurried back to the enemy.

You report the situation!"

"Huh?" Liu Hongzhang frowned in confusion and said, "Jing Kun, are you sure he is a wounded soldier of the Japs?"

"I'm sure, I looked through the telescope and saw clearly that they were all wounded soldiers with blood stains on their bodies and missing arms and legs!" Gao Jingkun replied.

Just when the three chief officers of the first brigade were wondering what was going on, the on-board radio operator stuck his head out and shouted: "Brigade commander, Brigadier Chu of the fourth brigade is calling and wants to talk to you!"

Liu Hongzhang picked up the walkie-talkie, and Chu Ziye's loud voice came over, deafening, "I said, big man Liu, my vanguard regiment has encountered a strange situation. There are many wounded soldiers everywhere.

Lying like a dead fish on the Gobi Desert, neither building fortifications nor firing a shot to stop it. This thing is so evil! I can’t figure out the depth, and the troops stopped chasing. Let me ask, have you encountered anything there?

To such a situation?"

Liu Hongzhang was happy and replied: "Chu's loud voice, I thought it was just my first brigade that encountered something evil. Likewise, there were wounded soldiers lying everywhere from the Japs!"

"What are you going to do?" Chu Ziye asked.

"What about you, how do you want to deal with it?" Liu Hongzhang kicked the ball to Chu Ziye again.

On the other end of the walkie-talkie, Chu Ziye curled his lips and said: "You, Mr. Liu, don't have to ask me for advice. The rules of our independent division are not to keep the prisoners of the Japs. Besides, we don't take the prisoners for the Japs.

Habit, if I really can’t make up my mind, let’s ask Chief of Staff Zhao for instructions!”

Liu Hongzhang was not happy anymore and said: "You have such a big voice, Chu, you have such a bad idea? When you encounter the wounded soldiers of the Japs, you will report them as hard as possible. When you get to Chief of Staff Zhao, he will definitely show mercy. You and I will still

We can’t become a prisoner collection team!”

"Then send out a company to find out the depth? See what tricks the little devils are playing? We can't let the wounded soldiers of these little devils block the way!" Chu Ziye came up with an idea.

"What are you thinking about? Let our soldiers take risks and send a company of mortar shells. It's enough. Lao Chu, let's just use mortars to bomb him alone. We'll test everything! Let's go to the front and take a look.

Go!" Liu Hongzhang disagreed, and he had an idea and came up with an idea.

Chu Ziye repeatedly praised him, "I told you, Mr. Liu, you are really a talent. I am convinced, Old Chu, that I can come up with such an idea! What if Chief of Staff Zhao asks? There must be a unified voice, right?"

!”

Liu Hongzhang said in a tone of hatred that iron cannot be transformed into steel: "Chu, you have such a loud voice, where have you been fighting for so many years? How come the more you live, the less promising you are? It's not easy. The little devil is trying to stop us.

, then, howitzers and tank guns were fired, and the passage was opened with one shell! Could it be that Chief of Staff Zhao checked one by one to see if they were wounded soldiers of the Japs?"

Chu Ziye's old face turned red after being lectured by Liu Hongzhang, and said: "Sure! Just follow your idea and order the artillery and tanks to prepare for the bombardment. Once the little Japanese's wounded soldiers have any trouble, they will immediately serve with artillery shells!"

Liu Hongzhang and Chu Ziye were both seasoned veterans on the battlefield. They knew very well about the bezoar and dog treasures in the bellies of Japanese soldiers and had suffered losses before. Therefore, they did not believe it at all.

The wounded soldiers of the Kwantung Army are waiting to be taken as prisoners. If that is the case, they are no longer little devils?
