Age of Conquest Reborn

Loaded into the Western Manchuria Assault Corps of the Kwantung Army, a battle of more than 80,000 people suddenly started before dusk. The Eighth and Ninth Brigades of the Outer Mongolia Field Corps, with two heavy artillery regiments, two self-propelled artillery regiments, and four "Thunder"

"The rocket launcher battalion, plus the artillery battalions of each regiment, formed a powerful artillery group. After the Kwantung Army Ximan Assault Corps all passed Gongzhuling and arrived before Lishu, and entered the scheduled artillery bombardment area, they began a fierce and sudden attack.

shelling.

Under the blood-red glow, various types of artillery shells, trailing tail flames that were brighter than the sunset, and with ear-piercing screams, smashed over the ground. On the ground, orange-red flames and violent explosions burst out.

Echoing in the dusk sky.

Tens of thousands of artillery shells immediately stunned the Kwantung Army's Western Manchuria Assault Corps, which was mainly composed of Manchurian Army soldiers. Immediately, fear and confusion spread among the troops in an instant. These Manchukuo troops,

They didn’t come here to fight at all, but to make a fortune. Those who had seen such a formation, with howling artillery shells filling the dusk sky, and who didn’t know that it was the independent division troops who beat themselves up.

How many troops are there?

Facing the overwhelming artillery fire, the five Manchurian Army division commanders felt cold, "It's bad! The vanguard troops were ambushed by the independent division troops!" These troops, but their capital in Manchukuo was gone.

How can I survive on my own? So, they all gave the same order to their respective troops, "There is an ambush ahead, everyone should turn around and retreat immediately!"

If we were marching in peacetime, it would be very simple to execute such an order. The rear team would change to the front team and turn back collectively. But this was on a battlefield where shells were raining. The shelling came suddenly and fiercely, and the troops had already been bombed.

Everything was in disarray, the entire chain of command was in disarray, and the order was only

It was conveyed to some troops. After this part of the troops began to retreat, other troops who had not received the order ran back in a daze. Then, this panic immediately spread to the troops behind. Immediately,

The retreat turned into a complete rout!

The commander-in-chief, Major General Hamasaki, and a dozen Japanese guards were lying on a hill covered with bushes. Under the dusk light and the flames caused by the shells, they watched as they ran past and dropped their guns.

, the Manchurian Army soldier who lost his shoes was about to cry but had no tears.

Only now did Major General Hamasaki realize how ridiculous it was for him to lead such a force to fight. The independent division troops just started shelling without even showing up their soldiers, and more than 80,000 people were defeated. He didn't

I know that the five division commanders have issued orders to retreat. As for the Kwantung Army officers who were sent to monitor me, no one paid any attention to him. My team cannot kill all the Japanese for you!

Major General Hamasaki said to the staff beside him: "Immediately convey my order. The division commanders of each unit will stabilize the troops and wait for the artillery bombardment to launch an attack. If that unit fails to carry out the order, the deputy division commander can take his place!"

Then, the staff officer answered him, causing Major General Hamasaki to collapse in an instant, "Your Excellency, Captain, this is no longer possible. I have just received reports from the officers we sent to various units. Those Manchurian officers have already issued orders for the troops to retreat.

The order, you see, is it a retreat now? It is a complete retreat!"

"Baga! Damn the Manchus!" Major General Hamasaki was so angry that his eyesight turned black, but there was nothing he could do. The artillery fire from the independent division troops had begun to extend. Dozens of artillery shells fell near the hill where he was hiding.

The retreating Manchurian Army soldiers could no longer be seen. If they didn't leave, they might never have a chance to leave. What comforted Major General Hamasaki was that the commander of his division was the last to retreat!

After more than an hour of intensive shelling, the 8th and 9th brigades of the Outer Mongolia Field Corps, led by four tank regiments, began a frontal assault. As night fell, on the battlefields of Gongzhuling, Yushutai, Daheishan, and the triangle zone

, the tank engines roared, and the shouts of killing shook the sky. Two brigades with nearly 40,000 troops chased the fleeing soldiers of the Western Manchuria Assault Corps of the Kwantung Army and pursued them!

Although the artillery of the two brigades of the Outer Mongolia Field Corps shelled fiercely, the Kwantung Army's Western Manchuria Assault Corps suffered only the vanguard force. In fact, most of the main force was still intact. The tens of thousands of Manchurian Army soldiers were like sea water at ebb.

Towards Gongzhuling, it seems that in their hearts, they can save their lives by running back to Xinjing. Among these defeated soldiers, there are also some Japanese officers, who can't help but half push and half follow the defeated soldiers.

.

However, the Gongzhuling front line is also blocked. The fifth and sixth brigades of the Outer Mongolia Field Corps are waiting for them to retreat. With the frontal assault troops in the Siping direction, the number of artillery and firepower are almost the same, and the black holes are

The cannon barrel points directly to the west.

The officers and soldiers of the Western Manchuria Assault Corps of the Kwantung Army were completely shattered when they saw the familiar and terrifying artillery shells flying from the direction of Gongzhuling, exploding into a sea of ​​fire in the field leading to Gongzhuling.

The fact emerged in the hearts of every officer and soldier, "The road back has been cut off by the independent division troops!"

There was a blocker in front and a pursuer in the back. The sky was completely dark. There were fires after exploding shells everywhere. The figures of soldiers were blown up into the air. There were earth-shattering loud noises and artillery fire from the direction of Gongzhuling. All of a sudden, we were filled with hope.

, the five Manchurian *** division commanders of the Kwantung Army's Western Manchurian Assault Corps, who came here in one breath, were completely stunned. They never expected that not only did they not make a fortune this time, but they were also very likely to make a fortune.

Put your life on the line!

Even an elm-headed man should have understood what was going on by now. This posture is obvious. There is a blockade in front and a pursuer behind. The shells turned half the sky red. The independent division troops are for themselves and their subordinates.

Brothers, we arranged a big bag to put all of us, more than 80,000 people, in one bag. The Japanese are so fucking deceitful!

If you can't fight, run away. The five division commanders seemed to have a tacit understanding and once again gave the last order to the troops, "Each department disperses to break out and run out one by one!" In fact, it was a useless order at all. The troops were already in chaos.

They were trapped, and everyone was scrambling to escape. The command system was in shambles, the soldiers could not find the officers, and the officers could not gather the soldiers. In the dark night, amid the flashing light of shell explosions, there were soldiers running around everywhere!

Although he was beaten dizzy by the artillery shells of the Independent Division, he still knew how to run. There is definitely no way to pass in front of him. There are still a bunch of murderers chasing behind him, so just run to both sides. Tens of thousands of Manchurian Army soldiers are headless flies.

As if, he ran as fast as he could in the two directions of Yushu Terrace and Daheishan.

The commander-in-chief, Major General Hamasaki, led a dozen purebred Japanese guards and a dozen staff officers, and the last group rushed to the front line of Gongzhuling. Looking at the artillery fire that turned half the sky red, his throat shook violently a few times, and he felt

His throat was dry, and the failure came too quickly and suddenly. Until now, Major General Hamasaki's mind was still blank. After forcing himself to calm down, he found a small forest.

Major General Hamasaki dictated and sent a telegram to Lieutenant General Matsuda Kenjiro, Chief of Staff of the Kwantung Army, who was waiting for his good news in Xinjing, "His Excellency, Chief of Staff Matsuda, the Western Manchu Assault Corps of the Kwantung Army, at Lishu, Gongzhuling

On the front line, we were ambushed by the Independent Division troops. The enemy's artillery fire was unprecedentedly fierce. The staff reported very painfully and angrily that the Manchurian Army was on the verge of collapse. Before even seeing the shadow of the Independent Division soldiers, it had already collapsed across the board!"

"The failure of the Liaoxi Assault Corps of the Kwantung Army was inevitable. The commander of the independent division had already planned to use powerful troops and firepower to cut off our army's retreat route at the Gongzhuling line. At present, the headquarters is no longer able to control the troops, but as a

Soldiers of the Japanese Empire have no choice but to die in battle to wash away their shame!"

After the telegram was sent, Major General Hamasaki did not have the courage to die in battle. He also knew that with the spirit of Bushido, he could not defeat the artillery shells flying in the sky of the independent division, let alone the tanks chasing after him. Therefore, the Major General Captain, His Excellency

, made a resolute decision, led the guards and staff, chased the heels of the defeated troops, and ran towards Yushu Terrace.

Major General Jing Zhanqi, commander of the Western Liaoning Interceptor Corps, who was waiting for news in Siping, also received the 8th and 9th brigades of the Outer Mongolia Field Corps' frontal attack. On the Gongzhuling line, the 5th and 9th brigades of the Western Manchurian Assault Corps of the Kwantung Army were cut off from their retreat.

Sixth Brigade, telegrams from four brigade commanders.

When the combat staff officer handed the telegram to him, Jing Zhanqi read the telegram, his mouth opened wide, and said to himself: "The whole line is defeated! It's so fast, just two shellings, one round.

We didn’t even fight. Damn it, I felt like I was facing a formidable enemy. I had to prepare my troops for a long time. If I had known this..." As for what happened, he did not continue to mutter.

The combat staff officer who sent the telegram understood and said: "Brigadier Commander, if I had known this, I would have eaten more than 80,000 little Japanese and Japanese devils on the Gongzhuling front line. The four brigade commanders asked the headquarters whether to take advantage of the Kanto

If there is an opportunity for the Western Manchurian Assault Corps to be defeated across the board, launch an all-out attack overnight and end the battle before dawn!"

Although Jing Zhanqi also felt itchy, according to the current battlefield situation, with five brigades pressing forward from all sides, they would definitely be able to eliminate more than 80,000 enemies before dawn. However, in the melee at night, the casualties of the troops will inevitably increase, and there will be more

The fish that slipped through the net, took the opportunity to slip away, the battle has been decided anyway, it doesn't matter one night.

Jing Zhanqi said to the combat staff: "Order, the 8th and 9th brigades participating in the campaign to encircle and annihilate the Kwantung Army's Western Manchuria Assault Corps, immediately stop their rapid offensive and focus on gradually compressing the battlefield space. The 5th and 9th brigades on the Gongzhuling front line

Sixth Brigade, in-situ defense, Seventh Brigade on the Daheishan and Yushutai lines, resolutely block the Kwantung Army's Western Manchuria Assault Corps that is escaping toward your headquarters and collapse! After daybreak, each unit launches a general attack again. Within a day

, end the battle!”
