Age of Conquest Reborn

Tang Qiuli had a gratified smile on his face. He was very satisfied with his brother and praised secretly in his heart, "This little guy is a veteran who has fought on the European battlefield. He has done a good job and can use armor creatively."

Assault tactics!”

Battle's armored group penetration tactics are simple to say but very effective. One tank regiment covers two infantry regiments as an assault unit, and the ambush circle across the MacDonnell Mountains is regarded as several lines of different lengths, and then a straight line is adopted

The assault method was to carry out penetration, with two infantry regiments pressing and attacking on both sides. Finally, the Japanese troops in the ambush circle were cut into small, non-connected pieces.

In the dark night, the artillery group of the Independent Division had been bombarded with volcanic eruption-like artillery fire for an hour, causing heavy casualties. The chaotic Japanese army was unable to withstand such an armored assault. Moreover, Battelle's tanks were fast.

Move quickly, the infantry and tanks cover each other, and pass by in one blow. The purpose is clear and there is no entanglement. There is no time for the Japanese soldiers to burst out with bushido spirit and carry out a suicide attack!

Battle's armored cluster assault and piercing tactics, at a very slight cost, brought a large-scale ambush battle into the stage of division, encirclement and annihilation battle in advance. Therefore, Tang Qiuli's praise is not exaggerated. It can be said that Mike

In the ambush battle in the Tangnai Mountains, Zheng Yong's artillery and Battelle's armor played a decisive role.

"In the next three days, the brigades directly under the corps will focus on clearing out the remaining Japanese troops in the encirclement!" Tang Qiuli thought, of course, this is just the beginning of the counterattack against the Japanese troops in the middle. The two corps

More than 100,000 Japanese troops could not satisfy his appetite.

Tang Qiuli's mind began to think about the next military action. At this time, Chief of Staff Zhao Yuhe came over and said: "Division Commander, I have received a report from Commander Feng that the Japanese reinforcements have arrived in the northern part of the McDonnell Mountains

, exchanged fire with the Niangziguan Corps blocking troops!"

"Oh!" Tang Qiuli's eyes narrowed, "Ito Yanzaburo came very quickly! How is the battle going?"

"The Japanese army is crazy!" Zhao Yuhe said in a simple sentence, "In order to rescue the Japanese Sixth Army and Seventh Army in the ambush circle, the Japanese army desperately attacked the northern part of the MacDonnell Mountains. The troops dispatched were all division-sized!"

Zhao Yuhe is not exaggerating. The two armies of the Japanese and Australian Fronts have more than 200,000 people, which is already one-third of the strength of the central offensive force. General Ito Yanzaburo will not be in a stable situation. If the Sixth Army and the Seventh Army, under Mike

The Donnelly Mountains suffered heavy losses from the independent division troops, which caused a huge change in the balance of forces, which would jeopardize a large number of center attack plans, and thus affect the entire Australian decisive battle.

They forced the base camp to empty their pockets and launched a full-front counterattack equipped with a large amount of Italian equipment. They were frustrated at the beginning and lost more than 200,000 imperial soldiers. General Ito didn't know how to explain it to the base camp?

Therefore, General Ito would never let the Sixth Army and Seventh Army be surrounded by the independent division troops in the MacDonnell Mountains, and beat them severely. He would risk his life to rescue them. Therefore, on the battlefield in the northern part of the MacDonnell Mountains,

From the beginning, the fight was at a fever pitch.

After the leading troops of the five main divisions of the Japanese army on the middle route arrived in the northern part of the MacDonnell Mountains, they immediately launched a fierce attack on Feng Jiwu's Niangziguan garrison blocking troops. In the dim light before dawn, more than 100,000 Japanese soldiers

, rushed up from all over the mountains and plains, helmets one after another, reflecting cold light, accompanied by the shouts of Japanese soldiers, shaking the air, the sound was very scary!

The location of the Niangziguan garrison regiment headquarters happened to be able to observe a corner of the battlefield. Feng Jiwu put down his telescope and said in a cold voice to Chief of Staff Zhang Hansheng: "Hansheng, send a telegram to the division commander. The Japanese reinforcements have arrived!"

"The direct-affiliated corps has been fighting lively. We have been watching for most of the night, and it is time to take action. This is what we are waiting for. We order all artillery groups to achieve the maximum damage effect of the first round of bombardment, and use the most intensive bombardment to destroy this group.

The little devil, stay here as long as possible!"

The artillery of the Niangziguan garrison was in full force. The artillery shells like raindrops formed a net of fire and fell into the Japanese charging formation. The explosion caused the Japanese soldiers to fly with blood and flesh, rolling and crawling. It was General Ito who was eager to rescue and issued an order.

After receiving the strict order, the troops of these five divisions left all their heavy equipment behind in order to rush on the road. Without even taking a breath, they launched a charge as pure infantry. Is there any advantage to be gained?

The Japanese army's first charge was covered by artillery fire from the Niangziguan garrison. After losing nearly 10,000 lives, they retreated in embarrassment. General Ito, who received the report, first changed his face, and then became angry and ordered all artillery units.

, must rush to the front line within an hour, otherwise, commanders at all levels will commit suicide on the spot to apologize!

All the remaining commanders of the artillery units of the Japanese army in the center knew very well that Commander-in-Chief Ito was not joking. The Sixth and Seventh Army were ambushed by the China Independent Division. Their lives were uncertain. The five divisions that arrived first were

The regiment was again shelled by the artillery of the China Independent Division, which also suffered heavy casualties. At the critical moment, who dared to neglect, all the artillery units of the Japanese army in the middle marched like crazy.

Finally, all the artillery units of the Japanese army on the middle route reached the northern part of the MacDonnell Mountains within the time specified by General Ito. Immediately, they built artillery positions without taking a breath. More than forty minutes later, dense artillery shells fell on Niangzi.

On the blocking position of the Guan garrison.

Dense artillery shells fell like raindrops, and in an instant, the positions of the independent division troops were shrouded in smoke and dust. Feng Jiwu put down his telescope and said to Chief of Staff Zhang Hansheng: "Compared to the artillery bombardment of the Directly Affiliated Corps last night, the scale is even greater."

Much younger, the little devil only has so much wealth!"

"Commander, do you want to order the artillery group of the Corps to fight back?" Zhang Hansheng asked for instructions. Although the artillery group of the Niangziguan Garrison Corps is not as large as the Japanese artillery, it is not without the power to fight back. The performance of the artillery is worse than that of the Japanese artillery. Equipped with Italian and Japanese artillery.

"It's not necessary for the time being. It's just the beginning. We can't shake off the family wealth all at once!" Feng Jiwu shook his head and said, "Our position is not to ambush the little devils in the circle. Just rely on the little devils' shells to explode."

Don’t collapse!”

Indeed, the Japanese artillery fire was fierce and intensive, but for the Niangziguan garrison brigades that had prepared for several hours and excavated a large number of field fortifications, the threat was not very great. Feng Jiwu was very confident in this and fought on the battlefield.

The troops who came out knew how to fight a blockade, and in just five or six hours, trenches, communication trenches, hidden areas, anti-gun holes and even short tunnels and other defensive fortifications were all in place.

After the shelling stopped, the Japanese army began a second round of charge. The troops used were still division-sized. However, they encountered fierce counterattacks from the brigades of the Niangziguan Guard Corps, with light and heavy machine guns, submachine gun bullets, mortar shells,

An insurmountable fire net of death was created, and the bodies of Japanese soldiers were everywhere at the northern foot of the MacDonnell Mountains.

After the second attack of the Japanese army was repelled, there was another fierce bombardment, and then the third attack began. This was repeated until dark. The main force of the Japanese army in the middle, more than 400,000 people, was imprisoned by Feng Jiwu's wife.

The garrison troops were firmly blocked at the northern foot of the Macdonald Mountains. Apart from paying tens of thousands of casualties, they made no progress.

That night, General Ito, who personally commanded the front line, received a telegram from Lieutenant General Miura Kazuhito who was in the encirclement. "The troops under the Ministry of Staff have suffered heavy casualties after learning about the ambush of the China Independent Division. Now, the organization of the troops is in chaos."

, and was divided into several disconnected areas, the battlefield survival space was extremely compressed, and the situation encountered by the Seventh Army was basically the same as that of the Sixth Army!"

"Based on the battlefield situation, the staff judged that if the reinforcements were unable to open the exit at the northern foot of the MacDonnell Mountains within three days, the staff and the Seventh Army would inevitably end up in ruins, so they reported to the commander-in-chief at the staff

When Your Excellency sent the telegram, the artillery of the China Independent Division began covering bombardment again!"

General Ito's face was livid, and he read Lieutenant General Miura's telegram over and over again. Now, he believed what Miura Kazuhito said in the distress telegram he had sent to him before, "The China Independent Division has mobilized six to seven million troops to attack

Troops under the command of the Ministry of Commerce carried out an ambush!" This is the only reasonable explanation.

Judging from the current battlefield situation of McDonnell Mountain, there are more than 200,000 people in the Sixth Army and the Seventh Army surrounding him. That China devil Tang Qiuli cannot do it without using more than 400,000 troops.

The more than 400,000 reinforcements blocking him in the northern foothills did not have 30,000 to 400,000 troops, and it was impossible to survive such a fierce attack without losing an inch of ground. In this way, the strength of the independent division concentrated in the McDonnell Mountains reached 70

From 10,000 to about 800,000 people.

General Ito took a breath of air. Tang Qiuli deployed such heavy troops to deal with his attack in the middle, and was determined to win the Sixth Army and the Seventh Army. Could it be that the main force of the China Independent Division on the Australian battlefield was concentrated in the middle?

First line?

However, it is impossible. I received a telegram from the commanders of the West and East Route troops. On the West Route battlefield, the China Independent Division troops and the attacking Imperial Army troops conducted position offensive and defensive battles for several days.

The imperial army failed to advance even an inch, and the battle line was deadlocked at Mount Vernon. It could block the attack of more than 400,000 imperial troops on the west route. Tang Qiuli could not do it without more than 400,000 troops.

On the East Road, the independent division troops adopted an offensive posture. According to a telegram from the commander of the East Road troops, Ishihara Hirano, the independent division troops' offensive posture was very fierce. Their own troops could only take a defensive position and were forced to gradually attack.

Retreat, now that the battle line has retreated to Theodore's line, it can repel the more than 600,000 imperial troops attacking from the east. Tang Qiuli cannot do it without using more than 800,000 troops.

Added together, the total strength of the China Independent Division on the Australian battlefield has reached an astonishing number of more than two million people?
