Age of Conquest Reborn

Chapter 3079: No way back

Major General Akutagawa, the chief of staff of the Japanese Australian Front, broke in and told General Ito, a piece of bad news that was like a bolt from the blue. General Ito's face suddenly became colorful, and he said almost to himself: "Akutagawa-kun, what did you say? What happened?

ambush?"

"It's the Sixth Army and the Seventh Army. They were ambushed by a large number of China Independent Division troops in the McDonald Mountains. The situation is extremely critical!" Chief of Staff Akutagawa repeated loudly and thrust the telegram into the hands of General Ito.∈♀

General Ito seemed to have just woken up from the bad news. His body was shaken and he hurriedly took the telegram. While reading it, his hands were trembling, "Why is this happening? Why is this happening?" he repeated nervously.

"Miura Kazuhito is talking nonsense. Where did the six to seven hundred thousand Chinese independent division troops come from? Was he confused by being frightened? Also, why did so many independent division troops suddenly appear in the MacDonnell Mountains and set up such a trap?

Big ambush circle? Falling from the sky? Miura Kazuhito is lying!" General Ito suddenly became furious and shouted.

"Commander, now is not the time to hold people accountable!" Seeing General Ito's chaos, Chief of Staff Akutagawa reminded, "The most important thing at the moment is to send reinforcements quickly. No matter whether the battle in the McDonnell Mountains is like Lieutenant General Miura's,

As said, reinforcements are inevitable!"

"Okay!" General Ito calmed down and said with a ferocious smile on his face: "Akutagawa-kun, you might as well believe Miura's request for help telegram, then let's put the decisive battle of the middle attack in the McDonnell Mountains.

It will happen sooner or later. Order all troops of the Central Route Army to march overnight to the MacDonnell Mountains. If you encounter an obstruction from the China Independent Division, don't get entangled!"

"Call back to Miura Kazuhito. The front army headquarters will immediately dispatch troops to reinforce your department. I hope your department will base on the existing positions, carry out tenacious defense, attract the China Independent Division troops to the McDonald Mountains, and hold on for three days.

, is victory!”

What Lieutenant General Miura Kazuhito wants now is not to defend on the spot. Instead, he wants to take more than 200,000 soldiers out of the ambush circle of the independent division troops as soon as possible. He is too passive. Countless attacks have been repelled, and the troops are now suffering casualties.

It was very disastrous. I contacted the neighboring Seventh Army. According to Lieutenant General Okazaki, the commander of the Seventh Army, the situation of his troops was not much better than my own. They were also bearing the burden of thousands of soldiers every moment.

Bombarded by tens of thousands of artillery shells!

Lieutenant General Miura now feels that the entire McDonald Mountains is like a pot of boiling water. The Sixth Army and the Seventh Army are like dumplings rolling up and down in the boiling water. The artillery shells of the China Independent Division are like the bottom of the pot burning.

Firewood. If you don't get out of this boiling water pot, sooner or later you and the two armies of more than 200,000 imperial soldiers will be boiled to the point of being boiled to the point where not even the bones and dregs will be left!

Therefore, Lieutenant General Miura's orders to all the units that could be contacted were almost the same, "Each unit will use about one-half of its troops to attack with all its strength at all costs to seize the positions of the China Independent Division troops on both sides. At the same time,

, the rest of the troops retreated quickly and exited the McDonnell Mountains at all costs!"

In a word, half of the soldiers cover the retreat of the other half, and they run out as quickly as possible. Lieutenant General Miura's only hope is that half of the two armies' more than 200,000 soldiers can retreat, so that half of them can escape.

The whole army was annihilated.

But Lieutenant General Miura Kazuhito obviously underestimated Tang Qiuli's determination to kill him, as well as the troops, heavy equipment, and energy spent on it. In order to block his retreat and block the inevitable reinforcements, he mobilized a main field force

The corps has more than 200,000 troops, and it is one of the most capable corps among the main field corps of the Independent Division - Feng Jiwu's Niangziguan Garrison Corps, a division that has fought all the way from North China to the Indo-China Peninsula.

The shells kept whizzing and fell into the pile of Japanese soldiers, causing the gravel and soil to surge. In the blazing flash, the broken corpses were thrown high into the air. On both sides of the ambush circle, the figures of Japanese soldiers charging like desperadoes,

One by one, they fell under the dense rain of bullets, and many Japanese soldiers retreated toward the northern foot of the MacDonnell Mountains like a retreating tide, trying to break out of this terrible death zone.

However, as violent explosions continued to sound that even covered up the sound of artillery, huge pillars of earth rose into the sky. The Japanese soldiers who ran to the northern mountain pass were dumbfounded. The gravel and soil rolled down, and in an instant, they were stunned.

The northern exit was blocked tightly, and many trucks were trapped underneath.

Jin Tieshan, commander of the first brigade of the Niangziguan Garrison Corps, looked at the mountain peak that was almost half destroyed by the bombing. He grinned widely and shouted, "Little devil, this is the real turtle in the urn. I'll stop it."

Your retreat is gone! Where to run!"

"Commander, all the explosion points in the northern mountain passes have been detonated on time, and the Japanese army's retreat has been completely cut off!" Zhang Hansheng, chief of staff of the Corps, put down the phone and said excitedly.

Feng Jiwu looked at his watch. It has only been forty minutes since the direct-affiliated corps started shelling. It seems that the Japanese army was defeated earlier than expected. "Hansheng, convey the order, and the artillery will immediately start shelling to drive the Japanese army back."

Go to the ambush circle!”

"Order the armored troops to immediately cover the 7th to 12th brigades after the bombardment stops and launch the attack. We must open up at least 20 kilometers of empty space in order not to face the enemy on both sides. At the same time, order all reconnaissance teams to conduct strict

The main force of the Japanese army monitoring the direction of Waukop is our real opponent!"

Almost the same scene was staged in the northern part of the McDonald Mountains. The bombardment of the head and head exploded into a sea of ​​​​fire, driving the Japanese soldiers who had retreated here back, and the Japanese soldiers who were crowded at the blocked mountain pass.

, the casualties were even more severe. After receiving the report, Lieutenant General Miura suddenly felt cold all over his body, and his hands began to tremble uncontrollably.

He knew that his troops were in a desperate situation. They were surrounded by volcanic erupting artillery fire. The soldiers' charges were repelled time and time again, and their retreat was cut off. The entire McDonnell Mountains were the 6th and 7th armies.

Death place!

Now, the only hope is that Commander Ito's reinforcements arrive as soon as possible, open a gap from the northern mountainous area, and allow his troops to withdraw. "Chief of Staff Ishikawa, immediately convey my order to the Seventh Army and our affiliated troops,

Stop breaking out, organize defense on the spot, and wait for reinforcements!"

"Commander! Commander!" Battelle, who was sleeping soundly, was woken up by Chief of Staff Xu Xinrong, "Chief of Staff, what happened?"

Xu Xinrong looked at the commander who had just woken up from a deep sleep, but his eyes immediately shone. He was really impressed and said: "I just received the order from the division commander. The armored troops are waiting for the order from the division commander to prepare for battle. After the shelling stops,

The covering infantry begins the attack! This is the attack distribution map!"

"Oh!" Battelle's eyes narrowed, and he took a few pages from Xu Xinrong's hand. Then he looked at the lights inside the tank carefully several times. He couldn't help but frown slightly and began to think deeply. According to the battle plan, he used fierce artillery fire.

, after inflicting a large number of casualties on the Japanese army, they had to wait until daylight before the troops launched the attack. Brother Qiu Li changed his plan?

On the European battlefield, Battelle, who had commanded the German "Lightning" armored assault division, was familiar with armored group tactics. In his heart, he did not fully agree with Tang Qiuli's decision. The night was dark, the battlefield was in chaos, and the tanks

It is easy for Japanese soldiers with a desperate spirit to launch suicide attacks and fight countless battles with the Japs. Battelle knows this very well, not to mention the Japanese soldiers who are now in dire straits!

There is no such worry about the artillery's long-range bombardment. Anyway, there are no troops of its own in the ambush circle, so there is no need to worry about accidental damage. Battelle thought for a moment and prepared to contact his brother to remind him of this point, "Communication Corps, immediately

Get through to the division commander, I want to speak to the division commander!" he ordered.

"Division Commander! Division Commander! I am the Armored Forces Command..." The communications soldier just started to call, and a big hand stopped him, "There is no need to call the Division Commander!" Battelle suddenly thought that his brother would not ignore it.

In such an obviously unfavorable situation, the only possibility is that the Japanese reinforcements came very quickly. If this was the case, it would be easy to understand the order of the division commander and stop the call of the communication troops.

After clarifying his thoughts, Battelle looked at the attack distribution map in his hand carefully and became more and more sure of his judgment, "Order each brigade to, after the attack begins, use regiments as units to cover the infantry attack, use penetration tactics, and

Divide the Japanese army into main groups!”

After a full hour of shelling, the MacDonnell Mountains became a hell on earth. The corpses of Japanese soldiers were covered with the blood-soaked ground. When the shelling by the artillery unit of the Independent Division stopped, the surviving Japanese soldiers could hardly believe it.

Their ears went from roaring like the earth was shattering to extremely quiet, making them extremely uncomfortable in a short period of time!

However, the temporary silence on the battlefield did not last for more than a few minutes. The roar of the tank engine and the "creep" of the tracks crushing the soil immediately reached the ears of the Japanese soldiers. Among the dim embers that had not yet been extinguished,

Tanks appeared in front of the Japanese soldiers one after another, as well as low-trajectory tank shells and roaring tail flames. The independent division's coordinated infantry and tank attack on the Japanese troops in the ambush circle began!

Battelle's armored cluster penetration tactics were very effective. When the sky brightened, the remaining Japanese troops in the ambush circle had been divided into countless small, disconnected pieces, which were then surrounded and annihilated.

Tang Qiuli was very satisfied with the progress of the ambush battle. The original plan to completely annihilate the two Japanese armies would take about five days at the fastest. After all, where are the more than 200,000 Japanese troops? However, now,

Judging from the effects of the shelling, it would take up to three days to complete the planned plan, especially the tactics used by Battle, which shortened the time to end the battle.
