Age of Conquest Reborn

There was no need for the chief of staff to remind him that the artillery shells that landed not far away had already told Lieutenant General Magsilotti that the Chinese Communist Party had already attacked. If he did not retreat, he would be a prisoner of the Chinese or be killed by the artillery shells. ≤

Lieutenant General Magsilotti turned pale and shouted to the Chief of Staff, Major General Charbert: "Chief of Staff, order the Japanese to launch an attack immediately, and order the 35th Division, the Tank Brigade and the Artillery Brigade to immediately retreat in the direction of Salem.

, order the 29th Division and the 31st Division in the direction of Everett and Spokane to look for opportunities to leave the battlefield and retreat toward Salem, and the military headquarters will be transferred immediately!"

At the critical moment, Lieutenant General Magsilotti decided to let the Japanese, for himself and his troops, resist the attack of nearly 100,000 people and more than 1,000 tanks of the Chinese Army. They were originally cannon fodder, but now they should play a role.

.

The commander of the Yokoyama Division led the troops and was rushing towards the right wing of Yakima. He received an order from Lieutenant General Magsilotti midway. He was a little confused. Yakima and the surrounding areas were full of artillery fire, and the battlefield was extremely large.

It was large, chaotic, and the Italians' orders were very vague. In which direction should they attack the China Independent Division?

There are three brigades of the China Independent Division on the Yakima battlefield. With the strength of the 131st Division, they can only fight one. You can't fight one by one. You still have self-awareness, Lieutenant General Yokoyama said in his heart.

He secretly cursed the Italians for being unreliable, and gathered around the map with several senior staff officers from the division and regiment headquarters, gesticulating and discussing, while the troops were still moving towards Yakima's right wing!

What the commander of the Hengshan Division did not know was that he and more than 20,000 soldiers had become cannon fodder for the Italians. "Reporting to the commander of the division, a telegram was sent from the vanguard wing. A large number of soldiers were found about ten kilometers away from us.

China Independent Division tanks. There are also a large number of infantry. The specific strength is unknown!" Before the results were discussed, the communications staff report shocked all the Japanese officers!

The commander of the Hengshan Division immediately understood that the China Independent Division troops were coming towards him, and the purpose was obvious. Otherwise, they would not have turned to the Yakima right wing during the attack, and it would have been a sudden encounter. "Order

, the troops dug fortifications on the spot and turned to defense! "It is impossible to withdraw, we can only fight!"

When the troops are advancing, switching to on-the-spot defense posture cannot be accomplished instantly with just one order. Even the most well-trained troops are bound to cause a period of chaos. The Japanese soldiers were running like dogs just now. Then.

Upon receiving the order, trenches were dug immediately. The field fortifications were not even dug to the depth of the feet, and the artillerymen were still busy building artillery positions. In the night ahead, dazzling light beams and the roar of tanks appeared.

More than 300 tanks of the 8th Tank Brigade of the East Point formed a three-way assault group. They were about three kilometers apart from each other, covering more than 30,000 East Point troops. They were already approaching like a metal hurricane, and the tracks "rolled over"

Roll." The motor roars.

The low-trajectory tank shells blasted the exposed Japanese soldiers to pieces. In an instant, the vanguard regiment of the 131st Division was scattered and divided into several disconnected parts.

Then he was submerged in the shock wave.

Liu Tiehan had moved the headquarters to Yakima City, in a building that had just been abandoned by the Italian army. The communications department quickly communicated with various offensive forces. Chief of Staff Yang Ketian quickly brought together the situation on the battlefield.

Report to Liu Tiehan: "Deputy Division Commander, I received a report from the frontal attack force that the Italian 35th Infantry Division, a tank brigade and an artillery brigade are rapidly retreating towards Salem!"

"After receiving reports of attacks on the Everett and Spokane troops, the Italian troops in the two places showed signs of retreating from the battle. After receiving reports of attacks on the Japanese troops on the right wing, they have exchanged fire with the Japanese troops. The Japanese troops have adopted a defensive posture. Currently,

Attacking its troops on the second line!"

"Want to run away? It's so cheap!" Liu Tiehan frowned and said: "Order, the troops attacking Everett and Spokane should immediately form an encirclement and eliminate them as quickly as possible.

The 29th Division and the 31st Division of the Army can persuade them to surrender if necessary!"

"Order that the 7th and 8th brigades attacking Yakima's left wing and the 7th tank brigade immediately advance to the Custer Mountain line north of Salem as quickly as possible to build a blocking line and block the Italian 3rd

The 35th Division of the three armies and its tanks and artillery units, withdraw to the retreat at Salem!"

"Order that the 9th Brigade and the 5th Tank Brigade attacking from the center immediately join the Yakima right wing and surround the battlefield of the Japanese 131st Division. The 10th Brigade and the 6th Tank Brigade continue to maintain a frontal offensive posture.

, the 11th and 12th brigades on the right wing and the 8th tank brigade divided and surrounded the Japanese army as quickly as possible, and did not accept the Japanese surrender! Order the follow-up troops to immediately pass through the Yakima line and quickly attack the Salem area

The Fifth Army of the Italian Army formed a situation of encirclement!"

On the right side of Yakima, pointing east to the 11th and 12th brigades and the 8th Tank Brigade, the attack on the second-line troops of the Japanese 131st Division is still sharp. Lieutenant General Yokoyama is placed behind the leading troops.

As soon as a regiment saw the vanguard troops retreating in defeat, and the tanks of the East Point covering the infantry, they rushed up, and with a heavy barrage of tank shells, the Japanese army hurriedly dug out field fortifications that were not even formed at all.

, shrouded in a cloud of fireworks!

The lethality of tanks against Japanese soldiers who were exposed to the wild without a solid defense system was undoubtedly astonishing. After years of fighting on the battlefield, the infantry and tank tactics of the various regiments of the independent division had reached the level of proficiency, and they could easily tear apart the enemy.

Japanese defense line.

Facing the torrent of armor from the East Point troops, the Japanese soldiers who lacked anti-tank weapons were helpless and helpless to resist. The parallel machine guns of the tanks poured raindrops of bullets on the Japanese soldiers without mercy. The Japanese soldiers were in despair.

, using their special skill - the spirit of Bushido, the soldiers, covered in explosives and grenades, howled and rushed forward, trying to trade their lives for hitting a tank of the Japanese Army.

But all the struggles of the Japanese soldiers were in vain. Before they even got close to the tanks, they were beaten with bloody holes by the infantry accompanying the attack and heavy submachine gun bullets. They even detonated the explosives on their bodies, blowing the Japanese soldiers into pieces.

Fireball.

Seeing the Japanese troops deployed on the second line, they couldn't stand it anymore. At the critical moment, the two heavy artillery regiments supplemented by Lieutenant General Magsilotti to the 131st Division finally played their role and began to bombard the attacking East Point.

Troops, artillery shells landed on the tanks one after another, exploding into clouds of fire and causing a certain degree of casualties to the infantry accompanying the attack.

Lieutenant General Hengshan finally breathed a sigh of relief. With artillery fire, he could temporarily stop the attack of the China Independent Division. He could also free his head and think about what to do next. It was obvious that his troops were now surrounded by the Independent Division.

If he continued to fight, not a single soldier would die, but he was at a loss as to what to do next.

With the battle reaching this level, Lieutenant General Yokoyama had some idea that he and the more than 20,000 imperial soldiers under his command would be used as cannon fodder by the Italians. The sound of artillery in other directions had gradually become sparse.

Coming down, only on the right wing of Yakima, where my own troops were located, the fighting became increasingly fierce. It seemed that all the Chinese Independent Division troops on the battlefield were surrounding me?

Lieutenant General Hengshan cursed the Italians in his heart and called the Third Army Headquarters on the radio. Although he hated the Italians, he was under their command after all. Even if he wanted to retreat, he had to

Withdrawing to Salem, without the permission of the bully Lieutenant General Magsilotti, it was a question of whether the remaining soldiers of the 131st Division could enter Salem?

The radio operator here shouted at the top of his lungs, but could not contact the Italians. Over there, the attack momentum of the China Independent Division became more and more fierce. Lieutenant General Hengshan was so anxious that he was spinning on the spot. Suddenly, in the sky,

There was a burst of artillery shells

A scream broke through the air, "Boom! Boom! Boom!" More than a dozen artillery shells fell nearby. Lieutenant General Hengshan sighed. He knew that the artillery of the China Independent Division began to suppress the artillery fire. His two artillery regiments,

Can't hold it for long.

The four self-propelled artillery regiments following the East Point offensive troops to provide artillery support for breaking through the Japanese positions, after receiving reports that the troops were shelled by Japanese artillery, immediately launched a comprehensive artillery suppression and counterattack. Hundreds of large-caliber

The self-propelled artillery followed the direction of the Japanese artillery shells and poured out large-caliber shells one after another, shrouding the Japanese artillery positions in smoke.

The battle raged until dawn, when the 9th Brigade and the 5th Tank Brigade attacking from the center joined the battlefield. The 131st Division of the Japanese Army, which had been destroyed by more than half, was immediately overwhelmed by the superior strength and firepower of the East Command's three infantry brigades and two

The tank brigade was divided and surrounded, and it was only a matter of time before the entire Japanese army was annihilated.

It was daybreak, and the battlefield from Everett to Spokane in the northwest United States was still roaring with artillery, especially on the right side of Yakima, pointing east toward three infantry brigades and two tank brigades, against the Japanese 130th Army.

The encirclement and annihilation of the first division was in progress, and the Japanese soldiers resisted desperately, which inevitably slowed down the progress of the battle in this direction.

On the left and right flanks in Everett and Spokane, the Italian 29th Division and the 31st Division suffered heavy casualties after being attacked by the East Point troops all night, and the remaining troops were compressed into the city.

The area has gradually lost its ability to resist.

Only in the direction of attack in the center of Yakima, the sound of artillery gradually became sparse and moved away to the south. The 10th East Point Brigade and the 6th Tank Brigade were chasing the retreating Italian 35th Division. At this point, the East Point

The troops have fully controlled the battlefield rhythm of the first battle in the United States.

Liu Tiehan relaxed physically and mentally, and then saw Chief of Staff Yang Ketian walking in quickly with a nervous look on his face...
