Age of Conquest Reborn

As soon as Liu Hongzhang finished speaking, it was as if he had found a big bargain. Liu Chenglin, the brigade chief of staff, was confused at that time and secretly complained in his heart, "Yes, the brigade commander is so crazy again. He just destroyed Roy Hill City.

I swallowed more than 4,000 little devils, and now I am thinking about the more than 10,000 little devils who came from the West Road!"

"But this situation is different. There are three groups of little devils, with a total of 30,000 or 40,000 people. No matter how hard the first brigade can fight, there are only 9,000 people. What's more, they are still in a prominent position alone. Once they are defeated by the little devils,

If the Japanese are entangled, they will be surrounded, and the consequences will be disastrous!"

Liu Chenglin made up his mind. This time, he would not make the brigade commander's eyes red under any circumstances. "Brigadier Commander, I disagree. The position we are in now is absolutely prominent. There are no nearby reinforcements on the left, right or behind.

The intention of the Japanese army is very obvious, which is to surround us with heavy troops."

"So brigade commander, we must retreat immediately. If you insist on going your own way, I will telegraph the matter to the headquarters as the brigade chief of staff!" Liu Chenglin's tone was very serious and uncompromising.

"Phew!" Liu Hongzhang was happy and said: "Cheng Lin, I'm stupid, I can't see the little devil's intention, but the opportunity is here, you see, the little devil on the east road and the north road are far away from Roy

Hill City is more than sixty kilometers away. Judging from the marching speed of the little devil, even if it is a partially mechanized march, look at the road conditions, it will take more than two hours for the leading troops to get here!"

"As for the more than 10,000 little devils coming from the west, didn't the reconnaissance plane pilot just say that the main force is forty kilometers away, and part of it is mechanized. It is a distance of twenty-five kilometers, and it will take one to reach Roy Hill.

Just a few hours, enough for me to give the little devil a head-on blow!"

Seeing that Liu Chenglin still refused to let go, Liu Hongzhang became anxious. He shouted: "Time is running out. I don't have time to talk nonsense with you. I convey my order. The self-propelled artillery regiment, the tank regiment and the first infantry regiment will immediately go out to the west of Roy Hill City."

An ambush was set up at Bruce Pass five kilometers away, with the purpose of annihilating the vanguard of the Japs, and then retreating to the second line."

"The brigade belongs to the heavy artillery regiment, and the rocket artillery battalion has built artillery positions on the spot. With the following main force of the Japs as the artillery target, the second infantry regiment is on standby, ready to attack at any time. It is required that the most violent artillery fire must be used to achieve the purpose of killing a large number of enemies.

, after receiving the order from the brigade headquarters to retreat, each unit will immediately retreat in the direction of Mount Vernon, regardless of the outcome of the battle!"

"Why are you still standing there? Follow me to the front line!" After Liu Hongzhang issued the combat order, he shouted loudly when he saw that Liu Chenglin was still trying to stop him.

"Brigadier, you can go to the front line, but you have to be responsible for your actions today!" Liu Chenglin muttered, seeing that he couldn't change the outcome.

"I'll be responsible for the grinding. When you get the fat, you won't say anything!" Liu Hongzhang glared at him and said dissatisfied.

The Japanese troops coming from the west of Roy Hill City are part of General Ito's outflanking troops. They are designated as the 2nd Brigade of the 39th Division. They are also the closest troops among hundreds of thousands of troops.

of troops.

The brigade commander, Major General Uchiyama, is in the rear group at the moment. His idea is very simple. With a brigade of about 10,000 troops, he can eat up the nearly 9,000 well-equipped troops of the China Independent Division. That is

It is unrealistic. Although Major General Uchiyama has never fought against the Independent Division, he has heard a lot about the China Independent Division and knows that this is a force that has repeatedly suffered losses for the Imperial Japanese Army.

The best result that Major General Uchiyama wants to achieve is to entangle the Chinese troops in Roy Hill City and buy time for the imperial troops coming from the other two directions to encircle them. By then, the first troops will not be able to escape.

Therefore, he ordered the only mechanized main unit of the brigade to march quickly, march forward fifteen kilometers, and pounce on Roy Hill at the fastest speed. As long as there is a firefight with the Chinese troops, with the bravery and skill of the imperial soldiers, China will be defeated.

Even if you want to run away, you have no chance!

The so-called mechanized unit of the 39th Brigade is shabby enough to say the least. It is mainly made up of trucks, and some are driven by animal power. A mixed team of motor vehicles and animal power cannot march at the same speed. In order to maintain care,

The speed had to be reduced, and coupled with the poor road conditions, the commander of the regiment, Colonel Okazaki, had no choice but to desperately urge the troops to move forward.

After passing the Bruce Pass in front of him, he arrived at Roy Hill City. Colonel Okazaki was full of fighting passion. Similarly, he had no experience fighting with independent division troops. In his opinion, on the North American battlefield, powerful

All the Americans were beaten to pieces by the empire, so what are the Chinese people who are like the sick men of East Asia?

Colonel Okazaki's car, following the troops, rushed through the Bruce Pass. His field of vision suddenly opened up, and the outline of Roy Hill City was clearly visible. Then, he saw rows of tanks in the whole place, with silent tigers standing in front of them.

From there, the low roar of the engine came. Under the afternoon sunshine in central Australia, the armor reflected the cold metallic luster, and the black muzzle pointed forward.

"Nani? A Chinese tank!" Colonel Okazaki was distracted for a moment. His boss didn't tell him that the Chinese troops were also equipped with tanks. Isn't this fatal? The regiment had no anti-tank weapons at all. How could we fight this battle?

"Order, the troops immediately stop advancing, disperse and hide, and prepare for battle! Immediately call the brigade artillery to provide artillery support!" After a moment of confusion, Colonel Okazaki reacted and issued the absolutely correct order.

But this is correct only relatively speaking. The troops can be dispersed and concealed easily. But for the artillery support of the brigade, we have to wait for the artillery to come up. Then, Colonel Okazaki heard a dull loud noise, and a row of artillery shells carrying

There was a scream and the head was smashed down, and I saw the group of tanks in front of me, with flames spitting out from the muzzle.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!" The heavy artillery regiment of the 1st Brigade and the two tank regiments started bombarding at the same time. Raindrop-like shells instantly covered the location of the Japanese army. Colonel Okazaki was very unlucky. Several large-caliber shells fired.

Falling on his car, several balls of flames burst into flames, and the car turned into pieces together with him.

In just ten minutes, the Okazaki regiment was enveloped in a bloody wind. Black smoke and dust from the explosion of artillery shells filled the air. Liu Tiehan stood on the armored command vehicle and turned to Liu Chenglin and said:

"Look, this is the Japs' mechanized army. If a cannonball hits it, how many Japs will be left alive?"

"There are still the main force of the Japs behind us!" Liu Chenglin was convinced. He did not expect that when a mechanized Japanese army was less than 25 kilometers away from Roy Hill City, the brigade commander would dare to set up an ambush here. How audacious.

!

In fact, Liu Hongzhang relied on the high-speed maneuverability of two tank regiments and a self-propelled artillery regiment to get ahead of the Japanese army and deploy artillery firepower.

The rumbling sound of artillery coming from the front immediately startled the commander of the Uchiyama Brigade, "Report to the brigade commander, the second regiment reported that they saw that the Okazaki regiment was attacked by the China Independent Division at Bruce Pass.

The shelling caused heavy casualties!" A staff officer ran over panting and reported.

Colonel Okazaki and the regiment headquarters disappeared in the artillery fire. The Japanese troops who were blown away by the shells had no chance to report the situation to the brigade headquarters. The troops following the Okazaki regiment could only rely on what they saw.

The situation was reported.

The commander of the Uchiyama Brigade was thinking rapidly. Judging from the intensity of the gunfire, the artillery firepower of the Chinese troops was several times greater than that of his own brigade. Moreover, he was well prepared to press all the brigade up. Obviously, it was not possible.

wise.

"Order, the troops immediately stop advancing, prepare for battle, send a squadron to reconnoiter the situation, and the brigade artillery immediately builds positions!" Major General Uchiyama issued the order.

"What? The following little devils have stopped advancing?" Liu Hongzhang was greatly surprised. He was thinking rapidly. In just over a minute, he made a decision, "Cheng Lin, you lead the first group back immediately.

Roy Hill City, command the heavy artillery regiment and the second regiment to retreat according to the planned plan, and also order the rocket artillery battalion to move up immediately!"

"Brigadier, what about you?" Liu Chenglin asked.

"Hehe!" Liu Hongzhang smiled slyly and said: "While the following little Japs are still unsteady, use two tank regiments and a self-propelled artillery regiment to rush in, then use rocket launchers to break up the rear, and then chase you!"

Now that the situation was like this, Liu Chenglin gave up the idea of ​​dissuading the brigade commander and hurriedly led the brigade headquarters back to Roy Hill. Fortunately, the brigade commander commanded highly mobile troops, so it was easy to leave.

After watching Liu Chenglin leave, Liu Hongzhang picked up the walkie-talkie and issued an order: "The tank regiment and the self-propelled artillery regiment should pay attention, do not take into account the current combat situation, and immediately go out of Bruce Pass as quickly as possible. After encountering the Japanese army, all troops

Determine the bombardment target on your own and retreat quickly after receiving the order!"

Then, he shouted to the driver, "Follow me!" The armored command vehicle suddenly rushed out. The tanks and self-propelled artillery of the first brigade ran over the Bruce Pass, which was still filled with gunpowder smoke, and crushed the Japanese soldiers.

At the same time, the tanks that opened the road aimed their parallel machine guns at the remaining Japanese soldiers who were stunned by the bombing, and swept them wildly. The Japanese soldiers who escaped the shells screamed and fell under the machine gun bullets.

Liu Hongzhang's style of play is absolutely risky and irregular. Tanks and self-propelled artillery without infantry cover are extremely easy to be hit, especially if they are trapped in an infantry group. With the crazy energy of the Bushido spirit of Japanese soldiers, they will definitely dare to cover themselves.

Tie them full of explosives and rush towards the tank.

But Liu Hongzhang had no intention of fighting a melee with the Japanese infantry. The 39th Brigade had just begun to set up positions. The tanks and self-propelled artillery of the Independent Division rolled up smoke and dust from the Bruce Pass.

The brigade leader's eyelids jumped.

The commander of the Uchiyama Brigade understood that this was the armored group assault tactic used by the Germans on the European battlefield. But when did the China Independent Division equip so many tanks?
