Age of Conquest Reborn

To the west of Gongzhuling, between Yushutai and Daheishan, the battle to encircle and annihilate the Kwantung Army's Western Manchuria Assault Corps was not a battle that urgently needed to end. Moreover, the result of the battle was that since the Kwantung Army's Western Manchuria Assault Corps suffered two shellings,

After the entire front was defeated, the foundation for victory was laid.

The five mechanized brigades of the Outer Mongolia Field Corps, with more than 80,000 troops, formed an encirclement in the triangle area of ​​Gongzhuling, Yushutai, and Daheishan, covering hundreds of square kilometers. The density of troops was still not enough. Therefore, the independent division in West Manchuria blocked the attack.

Corps commander Jing Zhanqi's decision was completely correct. Although the melee at night could continue to annihilate the enemy, there was no guarantee that some of the enemies would not escape in the chaos of the battlefield.

Jing Zhanqi did not forget that the purpose of the division commander's reinforcements in the western Liaoning area was to consume as much as possible the effective strength of the Kwantung Army's defensive forces in the new capital city. Even if thousands of Manchukuo Army soldiers were let go, the result of the battle would not be perfect.

Therefore, he gave up the tempting idea of ​​launching a general offensive overnight and quickly eliminating the Kwantung Army's Western Manchuria Assault Corps, and adopted a prudent approach.

After the combat staff left, Jing Zhanqi smiled to himself and shook his head. He had never thought that the Kwantung Army's Western Manchuria Assault Corps would be so unstoppable that the outcome of the battle was already doomed before the infantry took action. He initially deployed the battle

When I was planning, I felt like I was facing a formidable enemy, which is a bit funny to think about!

Suddenly, Jing Zhanqi remembered something and hurriedly said to the communications staff: "Quickly, send a telegram to the two commanders Liu and Le of the aviation force. In view of the fact that the battle to encircle and annihilate the Kwantung Army's Western Manchuria Assault Corps is coming to an end, our army

Completely encircle it, and victory can be expected tomorrow. Therefore, the aviation fleet does not need to dispatch to participate in the battle! I would like to thank the aviation force for its strong support!"

Jing Zhanqi knew that after his telegram was sent out, the two big bosses of the aviation force, Liu Cuigang and Le Yiqin, must have been extremely depressed. But there was nothing that could be done about it. There were more than 80,000 people in the Western Manchuria Assault Corps of the Kwantung Army.

, is already meat on the chopping block, and can be easily solved with the existing troops in hand, so there is no need to bother dispatching aviation troops!

Tens of thousands of defeated troops from the Western Manchuria Assault Corps of the Kwantung Army. With pursuers behind and interceptions in front, they chose to escape towards the two wings of Yushutai and Daheishan. However, what was waiting for them was still the well-prepared foreign troops.

The artillery fire of the 7th Brigade of the Mongolian Field Corps. This time, although the artillery fire was not as fierce and terrifying as the previous two times, it was more intensive. The 7th Brigade troops distributed on the left and right wings of the battlefield used all types of artillery.

.

With four regiments of less than 20,000 troops, they blocked the left and right flanks of the battlefield. They faced 70,000 to 80,000 enemies. No matter how you looked at it, it was suspenseful. However, Major General Hasgetu, commander of the 7th Brigade, followed the commander.

Official Sun Zhenbang moved to North China to encircle Outer Mongolia. After all the battles, he became a refined commander. He knew how to fight such a battle!

If you don't take action, that's it. Action must be done with momentum. Therefore, Hasgetu ordered the troops on the left and right wings to put all their assets on the front line, regardless of mortars, recoilless rifles, and small and medium-sized guns.

caliber

As soon as the defeated troops of the Western Manchuria Assault Corps of the Kwantung Army show up, they will attack them to death. The two regiments will have the momentum of two brigades, the heavy artillery regiment and the self-propelled artillery regiment, plus the "Thunder" rocket launcher battalion.

It is the main force of bombardment!

After the artillery shells that reflected half the sky red and fell like meteors all over the sky, all the officers and soldiers of the Western Manchuria Assault Corps of the Kwantung Army felt completely cold. They knew very well that this was a pocket formation with ambushes set up in all directions. People like them were on the independent battlefield.

In the pockets of the division troops, there was despair. The artillery fire all over the sky completely cut off all the thoughts and livelihood options of these Manchukuo army officers and soldiers to run back to Xinjing.

At this moment, the commander of the group, Major General Hamasaki, along with his staff and guards, followed the defeated Manchukuo army and ran to Yushu Terrace on the right wing. The artillery fire that churned the earth also made Major General Hamasaki

Terrified, he knew better than anyone else that his troops had long fallen into the plans of the commander of the independent division!

But it is not the character of the soldiers of the Imperial Japanese Empire to just sit back and wait for death. Under the bombardment of artillery fire, after wandering around like a headless chicken in groups of soldiers, Major General Hamasaki was very lucky to meet the editor.

Lieutenant General Qi Yingjun, commander of the 1st Xinjing Garrison Division of the Manchukuo Army who entered the Western Manchukuo Assault Corps of the Kwantung Army.

Major General Hamasaki, who had neither soldiers nor generals at hand, immediately put away his panic expression as if grasping for a life-saving straw, stood in front of Qi Yingjun, stared at him like knives, and scolded him calmly.

: "Commander Qi, as a soldier, how can you be so panicked on the battlefield!"

Qi Yingjun's background is not small, he is a Manchurian, and he still has the blood of the Manchu royal family. He is highly regarded by Emperor Kande. He has the title of a county prince on his head, and the Xinjing Garrison First Division in his hand is also strong.

, but that

It was just that when there was no fighting, he was blocked in all directions. When he ran in that direction, he was hit by artillery shells. Qi Yingjun had long been confused. He had a premonition that he and his more than 10,000 men would not be able to go back.

New Beijing!

Seeing Major General Hamasaki blaming him, Qi Yingjun rolled his eyelids in dissatisfaction, but did not retaliate. He just had a sullen face and wandering eyes. After all, the Japanese have been gaining power in Manchuria for many years, and it is not the time to fall out. However, today

After being bombarded by the Independent Division troops, Qi Yingjun finally saw through the virtues of the Japanese. In his opinion, these Japanese were no better than him. They were just like rabbits, running around in circles!

Seeing that Qi Yingjun ignored him, Major General Hamasaki's anger burst out. He pressed his hand on the golden handle of the command knife, glared at Qi Yingjun fiercely, and cursed: "Baga! As a great Japanese

Imperial Pass

A division commander of the Liaoxi Assault Corps of the Eastern Army was so panicked before the battle, it is simply an insult to the honor of a soldier! In the name of the commander, I order you to immediately organize your troops and launch an attack on the blocking position of the independent division!"

Hearing Major General Hamasaki's words, Qi Yingjun's face turned livid all of a sudden. In his heart, the eight generations of Major General Hamasaki's ancestors cursed him all over, "It's so fucking painful to stand and talk, so I immediately launched an attack. We are just joking."

?You Hamasaki are blind?

Oh, I didn’t see the artillery fire that turned half the sky red. Besides, I only have a guard battalion in my hands now. The other troops have gone to who knows where. Let me attack with one battalion.

I'm sorry you figured it out!"

In Qi Yingjun's view, Hamasaki's order was to let him die, but he didn't want to die at all. He cursed the Japanese in his heart, but still didn't show it on his face. He was thinking about fooling the Japanese away.

Then, I will do whatever I have to do. To save my life and run back to Xinjing is a serious matter! Attack, screw you, you fucking big-headed devil. Why don't you Japanese attack?

Major General Hamasaki did not notice Qi Yingjun's livid face under the firelight of the shell explosion. He regarded Qi Yingjun's silence as obedience, the Japanese's consistent sense of superiority in the Northeast, and the aloof master's face. In the end, it gave him

He and all the Japanese officers of the Western Manchuria Assault Corps of the Kwantung Army brought fatal disasters!

With a slight sneer on his face, Major General Hamasaki continued to threaten: "Commander Qi, you understand that only by resolutely breaking through can the troops fight their way out. I will give you three hours to command.

Troops, break out, otherwise, you know the consequences. As the commander-in-chief, I have the power to enforce battlefield discipline. It will be very easy to chop off your head!"

"My six staff officers will be by your side to advise Commander Qi at any time and supervise the offensive operations of the 1st Xinjing Garrison Division. Commander Qi, they have full authority to represent me and have the power to enforce battlefield discipline!"

These words had squeezed Qi Yingjun to the point where he could no longer fool him. Qi Yingjun knew very well that if he really followed what the Japanese said and launched an attack on the surrounding independent division troops, he would definitely lose his life.

Okay, isn't it obvious that the Japanese are forcing themselves to die?

If he didn't attack, he might still have a chance to survive. Qi Yingjun's heart suddenly surged with murderous intent. However, Major General Hamasaki, who felt very good about himself, continued to exert pressure. He took off the command knife from his waist and handed it to a Kwantung Army officer with the rank of Major.

Said: "Watabe-kun, I authorize you to act on my behalf. Once you find that Commander Qi has not carried out the orders of this commander, you, Watanabe-kun, have the right to deal with it on the spot!"

Well, with these few words, Major General Hamasaki completely confessed the fate of himself and the Kwantung Army's Western Manchuria Assault Corps and more than a thousand Kwantung Army officers. Major Watanabe, who didn't know whether he was alive or dead, seemed to have taken Shang Fang's sword.

, lowered his head and took the command knife with both hands, "Hai! Captain, please rest assured that the department will carry out your orders to the letter and will deal with officers who are disadvantaged in combat without mercy!"

After saying that, Major Watanabe stopped in front of Qi Yingjun and said in half-baked Chinese with a fierce look: "Yours, go and attack quickly!"

Seeing that Qi Yingjun showed no intention of resisting and walked away without saying a word under the control of six of his own staff, Major General Hamasaki finally breathed a sigh of relief. He was an officer with battlefield experience and could see that,

The independent division troops blocking the left and right flanks of the battlefield are not very large, but the artillery fire is fierce and the Manchukuo army soldiers are timid. With the strength of one division, they concentrate on attacking the independent division troops' positions along the Yushutai line on the left wing.

Possibility of success!

When Qi Yingjun left, the murderous intention in his heart was already surging. This guy was not stupid. Men Qing'er was thinking, "If we attack according to the instructions of the Japanese, we will definitely die. Either we will be blown up by artillery shells, or we will be killed by the Japanese."

If a person cuts off his head, both sides will die. Besides, the troops are in chaos and have lost their command. The soldiers are just scrambling for their lives. How can they organize troops to attack? Will anyone listen to what I say?"

If the attack could not be completed, he would still die in the hands of the Japanese. Qi Yingjun made up his mind.
