Age of Conquest Reborn

When the Han Railway troops first arrived at the Panshan and Beinin lines, the Kwantung Army's attack failed to take advantage. This time, the same was true. There had been no fighting for several days. The troops took the opportunity to reinforce the fortifications. The soldiers relied on the already complete fortification system.

To Kanto

The army troops caused serious damage. In the sky, aviation bombers dropped bombs like raindrops on the charge formation of the Kwantung Army soldiers. The explosion made the sky dark and the ground darkened. Fighters shuttled back and forth, and bullets splashed on the ground, beating the Kwantung Army soldiers.

Flesh and blood flying everywhere!

In a private house in Panshan County, where the temporary headquarters of the Western Liaoning Interdiction War was located, Han Tie sat cross-legged on the big kang, smoking leisurely, listening to the sound of artillery coming from the front, and smiled at the acting king

Dongshan position

The director of the staff department said: "The little Japs in western Liaoning have been quiet for a few days and have started to fight hard again. This shows that the so-called reinforcements from the old Japs in Meijin are about to arrive. They are cooperating inside and outside to break through our blockade!"

The director of the staff office didn't take it seriously, "So what? The division commander has been on guard against this trick for a long time. He mobilized four brigades from the Shandong garrison area in advance for reinforcements, plus our three main brigades. That old devil in Meijin is still not available.

Good!"

At this point, he paused and said with concern: "What I'm worried about is our blocking line. Chief of Staff Wang has taken away three brigades, and the thickness of the troops on the position has been reduced a lot. The headquarters company has a reserve team.

None of them, coupled with the crazy and desperate posture of the Kwantung Army soldiers today and their determination to not give up until they break through the blocking line, today's battle is going to be very difficult for us!"

Han Tie lowered his legs and said with a smile: "I'm not worried about our blocking line. There are aviation fleets in the sky, and fortifications on the ground that have been reinforced for several days, with sufficient ammunition. The artillery is bombarded with unlimited shells, and the Kwantung Army

Beware of my wife

If the Guan Garrison Corps launches an attack at any time, at most half of our troops will be used on our position. There is nothing to worry about. I would rather the little devils attack every day and leave tens of thousands of people behind every day. When it comes to the general attack, we can also save some energy.

!”

"Hey, you're talking about Wang Dongshan. He hasn't sent a telegram yet to report on the fighting situation there and how far the reinforcement battle has gone. I, the commander, still don't know anything?" Han Tie suddenly changed.

Topic: Start complaining about Wang Dongshan.

The director of the staff office burst into laughter. "Commander, you are confused. Chief of Staff Wang is now the commander of an independent corps. He is directly responsible for the division commander and reports the battle situation to the division commander!"

"That's right! Look at my brain, Wang Dongshan is now independent and working alone!" Han Tie patted his head and said with a sudden realization. "The Kwantung Army is not done yet, and will immediately convey my order. The ten who have not taken action yet have

A few rocket launcher battalions will launch two rounds of artillery fire on the charging little devils, give these bastards a taste of their power, and I will be clean for a while!"

To the north of central Liaoning, in the direction of Manduhu, a regiment from the Second Brigade and the Third Brigade of the Shandong Garrison Area is guarding this place. At this moment, it has become the target of the offensive of the Kwantung Army's Western Liaoning Assault Corps. According to General Meijin's idea, since in Liaoning

In the central direction, there are heavy troops of the Independent Division blocking the way, so in the Manduhu direction, there will no longer be heavy troops of the Independent Division?

However, the ruthless facts shattered his illusions. The style of play adopted by the Second Brigade of the Shandong Garrison Area was similar to that of Xu Zixiao's First Brigade. It used more than 200 medium-caliber artillerymen to give the Kwantung Army Liaoxi Assault Corps a showdown.

, after more than an hour of shelling, the broken bodies of Kwantung Army soldiers were everywhere within the frontier area of ​​the Manduhu defense line. Almost a detachment of Kwantung Army soldiers remained on the battlefield covered by artillery fire.

General Umezu's face turned pale as he looked at the corpses all over the ground and the craters next to each other. How come there were heavy troops from two brigades of the Independent Division in the direction of Manduhu, and the artillery fire was still so dense and fierce.

, the battle is not yet

How to fight? Two detachments and all tanks were lost in Liaozhong and Manduhu. If the losses continue like this, I am afraid that the Liaoxi Assault Corps will be almost exhausted before reaching Panshan and Beining. So what?

To break through the blocking line?

General Umezu, who was in an extremely bad mood, was at his wits' end. If the defenders of the Independent Division did not have such fierce artillery fire, they could still use a kamikaze-style group charge to gain a glimmer of hope. If we launch a group charge now, it would be a loss and death. At this point,

Son, he felt that his idea of ​​rescuing the more than 400,000 Kwantung Army in western Liaoning with more than 50,000 old and weak soldiers was too idealistic, or in other words, too naive!

He hated it, hated it to the point of gnashing his teeth, and hated that there were not enough artillery. In Fengtian's arsenal, there were enough artillery to equip four or five field artillery brigades, and enough artillery shells. However, there were no soldiers who could operate the artillery. They were temporarily recruited.

The old and weak soldiers who came here could be taught to shoot guns within seven days, but they could not be taught to fire cannons. The Liaoxi Assault Corps with more than 50,000 people could not select enough soldiers to form an artillery brigade.

"This is the current situation facing the Kwantung Army, the majestic flower of the Imperial Army!" General Umezu felt helpless and depressed.

"Wait, we can only wait until dark, use the darkness of night to weaken the power of the independent division's artillery to the maximum extent, and then launch a group charge to tear apart the independent division's position!" General Umezu thought with helplessness.

"Convey my order, the troops stop attacking, retreat three kilometers, disperse and hide, and rest on the spot! Each detachment sent some troops to guard the direction of Mandu!" General Umezu wisely gave the order to stop the attack, but he

He forgot that what he commanded was not a well-trained army, but a ragtag group of civilians a few days ago, so the imagination he saw next almost made him despair.

If we say that in the previous battle in Liaoning, the first detachment and the tank brigade were attacked by the First Brigade Artillery Regiment of the Shandong Garrison Area. They were covered by volcanic eruption-like artillery fire and the entire army was annihilated.

, if there was no impact, after all, the follow-up troops were still dozens of kilometers away from the battlefield at that time, and they did not see the broken bodies of their compatriots, so they had no intuitive feeling.

But the just-concluded artillery bombardment from the Independent Division's artillery force in the direction of Manduhu was a huge blow to these Kwantung Army soldiers who were civilians seven days ago, both psychologically and spiritually.

Excitingly, the second detachment of more than 8,000 people, in just one hour, were all turned into mangled corpses lying on the battlefield full of craters and scorched earth.

Among them, some are my neighbors, some are my relatives, and some are my friends who were drinking a pot of water a few hours ago. Now, they have turned into bloody pieces. You can imagine that your own

Their fate will be the same as theirs, boundless fear,

Shrouded in the hearts of these Japanese who had temporarily transformed from civilians into soldiers, their faces were ashen and ugly, and they were lying on the ground shivering. More women began to vomit, and some half-year-old children began to cry loudly, making the entire army

, it’s like a funeral scene!

After the officers at all levels leading the team gave the order to retreat in accordance with General Umezu's order, an accident finally happened. What was originally an orderly withdrawal from the battlefield turned into a disorderly rout. Those women and

The half-grown child dropped the rifle in his hand, turned around and ran back as hard as he could. The officers at all levels could not stop shouting and drew out their command swords in anger. No matter whether it was a woman or a half-grown child, the swords saw blood, and they drew blood again and again.

Killed hundreds of defeated soldiers.

However, not only did it not stop the trend of disintegration, but it only increased the fear and thoughts of escape among these mobs. Therefore, the remaining tens of thousands of Kwantung Army Liaoxi Assault Corps, commanded by General Umezu himself, dispersed in a rush. What?

Establishment, in the crop fields everywhere, there were wrinkled Japanese men, women and half-grown children in military uniforms everywhere, rout, rout in a hurry.

General Umezu's vision went dark and his throat felt salty. He couldn't help but spurt out a mouthful of blood. His body shook a few times. Fortunately, he leaned on the car and didn't fall to the ground. "Is it over like this?" He was confused.

Straight, looking at the defeated soldiers running past him, he murmured to himself nervously, "Could it be that the people of the Empire of Japan, who are loyal to His Majesty the Emperor and whose spirit of bushido runs through the entire nation, are so vulnerable?" He found that he

Wrong, terribly wrong!

Several staff officers and guards were shocked, and they helped General Umezu to the grass. Then, they looked at the commander-in-chief who was so pale that there was no trace of blood in his face. They didn't know what to do.

good?

"Reporting to the Commander-in-Chief, I have received an urgent telegram from the garrison commanders of Yuhong, Sujiatun and other places. In our garrison defense area, a large number of independent divisions, tanks and artillery suddenly appeared. They are launching a fierce attack. Artillery fire

All positions of our department have been destroyed, and the department cannot hold on for longer. We can only fight to the end and be loyal to His Majesty the Emperor!" A staff officer ran over in a panic and reported even worse news.

All the officers were stunned, thinking of a terrible fact in their hearts, "The retreat back to Fengtian has been cut off!"

"Your Excellency, Commander-in-Chief, what should we do?" The officers asked all at once regardless of the health of General Umezu who had just vomited blood. In fact, the questions they asked were all nonsense. Even the soldiers collapsed.

How can a few dozen officers be of any use to them?

General Umezu waved his hand tiredly, stopped the officers' inquiries, and said in a hoarse voice: "Don't ask, it's impossible. We failed. We didn't expect such a result. Let's leave here and take a detour back to Fengtian!"

The sudden defeat of the Liaoxi Assault Corps of the Kwantung Army was something not only General Meijin did not expect. Colonel Cheng Hejiang, commander of the Second Brigade of the Shandong Garrison Area on the Manduhu position, was even more stunned. He wiped his eyes in disbelief and pointed.

The Kwantung Army retreated into the crops with their heads in their hands. They stuttered and said, "This, this is the little, little Japanese soldier?"
