Age of Conquest Reborn

In the hidden headquarters of the 135th Regiment of the Japanese Army, Colonel Kobayashi, the commander of the regiment, lay in front of the observation hole. He looked at his forward position and was submerged in the stormy shelling. He was trembling in his heart. He was in the Imperial Army.

I have served for many years, and I also participated in the battle against the British and American Allied Forces in the capture of Australia, but I have never seen a China Independent Division unit that is no bigger than a brigade possessing such ferocious artillery firepower.↗

"Bullying people!" Colonel Kobayashi lamented in his heart. The artillery bombardment of the Independent Division stopped, and the forward position was in a mess. Even in the hidden department, Colonel Kobayashi could see that the bunkers and bunkers were overturned and the bricks were broken.

There were tiles everywhere and the trenches were no longer visible.

He swallowed and immediately said to the combat staff beside him: "Order, the frontline troops immediately retreat to the city, and the artillery brigade prepares for bombardment!"

Although the order was issued for the troops in the forward positions to withdraw into the city, Colonel Kobayashi knew in his heart that the two infantry brigades of more than 1,500 people deployed in the forward positions would probably not be able to withdraw under such intensive and ferocious shelling.

Not much. If you keep fighting for twenty-four hours, you won't be able to hold on for even two hours if you keep fighting like this.

The only way is to engage in street fighting with the China Independent Division troops. Prolong it as long as possible. Furthermore, strengthening the artillery brigade that dare not show up should be able to cause a certain degree of damage to the attacking China Independent Division troops.

.

As the shelling stopped, the battlefield fell silent. However, the ground was immediately trembling. In the smoke that had not yet dissipated, the dull roar of the engine came from the tanks of the independent division. From the smoke, steel was exposed.

The car body and the thick gun barrel.

Colonel Kobayashi raised his telescope and felt trembling in his heart. Why were there so many tanks? This was a brigade-level combat unit of the China Independent Division? He closed his eyes and looked resigned to fate.

"Boom, boom, boom!" The Japanese artillery brigade fired. Sparse shells fell on the tank column, exploding clouds of smoke and dust. For the tanks equipped by the independent division armored corps, the shells of the Japanese 75mm caliber mountain cannon were

There was no threat at all. The shell fragments hit the tank and only wiped off a little paint, but it still posed a certain threat to the infantry accompanying the tank attack.

"Yeah!" Liu Hongzhang was surprised and frowned slightly. The Japs and the artillerymen were there. "Order the artillery group to kill the Japs' artillery. If there are more artillery shells falling on the attacking troops, you can go and find the consequences yourself!" He said to him.

Liu Chenglin beside him shouted.

It was a disproportionate artillery battle. In just ten minutes, the Japanese artillery positions that were exposed were immediately engulfed by hundreds of large-caliber heavy artillery shells. The fire and smoke from the explosions. The Japanese artillery was really

The second round of shells didn't even have time to fire out.

Colonel Kobayashi hoped to strengthen the artillery brigade, but it did not affect the progress of the battle at all. The tanks roared, crushing the Japanese forward positions with soil up to their feet. They rushed into the city, and at the same time, attacked Roisi from the west.

Your troops also broke through the Japanese frontline positions and rushed into the city.

"Less than an hour, not too fast!" Liu Hongzhang, who received the report, said calmly, "Cheng Lin, the brigade headquarters will enter the city immediately and order the troops to quickly eliminate the remaining enemies. I'm afraid a telegram from the headquarters is coming.

!”

Liu Hongzhang apparently imagined the final stage of the battle to capture Roy Hill City to be relatively simple. Two hours later, the battle was still going on, with gunfire coming one after another. Each regiment ordered to report, "The Japanese army gave up frontal resistance and used the buildings in the city to

Complex terrain such as objects and objects will block our army from all directions!"

"Because the road was narrow and heavy equipment could not pass, our army and the Japanese army launched a street battle. The casualties of the troops increased. The battle could not be ended in a short period of time. We requested the brigade headquarters to change the prescribed time for ending the battle!"

"The commander of the little devil is an experienced veteran! Use the terrain in the city to offset our firepower advantage!" Liu Hongzhang said this after receiving the report.

Liu Chenglin said: "Brigadier Commander, I'm afraid a quick victory is difficult to achieve. Street fighting requires a long period of entanglement, and heavy equipment cannot be used effectively. Time is not good for us! The goal of severely damaging this Japanese army has basically been achieved. Can it be done?

Consider withdrawing troops from the battle?"

"It's not like me, Liu Hongzhang, to eat half-heartedly!" Liu Hongzhang said with a sneer, "Royhill City can still make me give up halfway!"

Liu Hongzhang's eyes flashed with a cold light, and he said to Liu Chenglin: "Order, two tank regiments and self-propelled artillery regiments, the regiments belong to the artillery battalion, with two artillery and tanks as one unit, and the infantry troops are dispersed into platoon units

, mixed with pain and self-propelled artillery to form a combat team, and wherever Japanese soldiers are found hiding, use artillery shells to greet them, don’t worry too much!”

"Tell several regiment leaders to use their brains when fighting. Leave the tanks and artillery aside and go fight street battles with the little devils. Are you stupid? This is not in China. Let your hands and feet be free to fight! If you find an area where the Japanese army is concentrated,

It can be covered by artillery fire!”

This is Liu Hongzhang's temper. Don't you want to fight in the street? Dozens of artillery shells hit him and flattened the building. Let's see what else you can do to fight in the street. As for the people in Roy Hill City,

Residents are not within the scope of his consideration. They are not in the country anyway, so they won’t feel bad if they are beaten to pieces!

The silenced artillery began to roar again, blowing up clouds of black smoke in every corner of Roy Hill City. After the attacking independent division troops changed their fighting methods, the Japanese soldiers who were scattered in every corner of the city to resist were in great trouble.

The end is coming,

Even if a shot is fired, several or even a dozen tank shells or heavy artillery shells will be fired, which will blow up the hiding place. Even if the Japanese soldiers are not killed directly, they will be destroyed by the collapsed buildings.

, buried alive in the ruins.

The combination of infantry and artillery and the tactics of point-by-point elimination were very effective. The casualties of the Japanese army increased rapidly. There were originally only more than 4,000 people. On the southern and western peripheral defense lines, they suffered a heavy shelling and lost 2,000 people.

There are many people, and the remaining people are less than 2,000, which is enough to explode like this!

Colonel Kobayashi was completely desperate. When fighting street battles, he relied on the buildings in the city. But these Chinese soldiers were really ruthless. They crushed the tanks with artillery fire and almost wiped Roy Hill off the map.

The sounds, the shouts of the Chinese soldiers, and the sound of tank tracks crushing broken bricks and tiles were approaching his regiment headquarters.

If we don't evacuate, the entire wing headquarters will be destroyed. Colonel Kobayashi issued an order to move the wing headquarters. Dozens of Japanese officers and soldiers braved cannon fodder and ran out of the wing headquarters. They were unlucky enough. They had just shown their heads.

They ran into four tanks and hundreds of soldiers from the Independent Division head-on, not too far away.

Colonel Kobayashi looked at the four tanks, and the turret rotated rapidly. Then, there were several loud noises, flames spewed out of the black muzzle, and screams quickly rang in Colonel Kobayashi's ears, "Boom, boom, boom!" several times.

There was a loud noise, clouds of dust exploded, and several huge craters appeared on the ground. Colonel Kobayashi and a dozen officers and soldiers could no longer see any trace of their existence.

Then, the parallel machine guns on the tanks roared wildly, shrouding the remaining Japanese officers and soldiers in a hail of bullets, and falling into pieces of corpses. The tanks and infantry of the independent division continued to attack and advance. No one among the soldiers thought that

The group of Japanese troops we just killed were from the 135th Regiment of the Japanese Army defending Roy Hill City. All officers, including the captain of the Colonel Regiment, were wiped out.

The battle to annihilate the Japanese troops in Roy Hill City was delayed by nearly two hours than originally scheduled. However, Liu Hongzhang, who was already standing in the center of the city, looked at the city that was almost in ruins and did not blame a few of his subordinates.

As a regimental commander, fighting in street battles is a job that cannot be rushed.

"Cheng Lin, order the troops to gather in and count the casualties. The work is done and it's time for us to leave!" Liu Hongzhang said to Chief of Staff Liu Chenglin. At this moment, an airplane flew over the sky. The logo under the wing proved that it was

Aircraft of your own unit.

Putting up a pergola with his hands and looking at the planes in the sky, Liu Hongzhang said doubtfully: "Cheng Lin, we didn't call the aviation team for reinforcements, did we?"

"No!" Liu Chenglin replied.

At this time, the air contact radio station of the Brigade Headquarters Communications Office sounded a call, "I am the pilot of the 3rd Reconnaissance Aircraft Group of the Australian Theater Command Air Force. I received an order from the Air Force Headquarters to call Liu from the 1st Brigade of the Directly Affiliated Corps.

Brigadier Hongzhang, we have important enemy information to report!"

"Hey! Contact me directly! Enemy situation?" Liu Hongzhang was greatly surprised. He picked up the intercom and said, "I am Liu Hongzhang. Please tell me if you have any information!"

"Reporting to Brigadier Liu, after reconnaissance, we found that in the north, east and west of Roy Hill City, a large number of Japanese troops were targeting Roy Hill and encircling them. Among them, the strength of the Japanese troops in the east and west was about one.

There are about 10,000 troops in the north, and the strength of the Japanese army in the north is about 10,000 to 20,000 people. Of all the Japanese troops, a small part is mechanized and most of them are marching on foot!"

"Damn it, the kid really came up!" Liu Hongzhang muttered, and then asked: "Which way is the kid closest to Roy Hill?"

"The Japanese army in the western direction is now about 40 kilometers away from Roy Hill City. Its vanguard is about 15 kilometers ahead of the main force of the Japanese army in this department. The remaining two Japanese troops are about 60 kilometers away from Roy Hill City. The enemy situation

Report completed!" It seems that this reconnaissance aircraft pilot is an extremely experienced veteran. He speaks concisely and clearly, and can clearly explain the enemy's situation in just a few words.

"Thank you, brother, you are my Liu Hongzhang's eyes in the sky! I will ask for credit from the Air Force Command!" Liu Hongzhang put down the intercom, saw a reconnaissance plane, shook its wings a few times, and headed towards

Fly in the west direction.

Liu Hongzhang pulled the map over, glanced at it a few times quickly, his eyes flashed with excitement, and said to Liu Chenglin: "Chenglin, prepare to do something big again. I will definitely take this little devil from the west."

Got it!"
