Age of Conquest Reborn

The left-wing attack group's ferocious bombardment lasted for more than half an hour, turning the Japanese beachhead that had been bombed over again, and a strip of more than 30 kilometers wide appeared in the planned landing area.

, a blank area with a depth of more than ten kilometers, all Japanese officers and soldiers disappeared in the division aviation, warships and fire attack ships, two rounds of bombing and artillery fire that were enough to melt rocks!

No one can survive such fierce bombing and artillery shelling, and Japanese soldiers are no exception. Feng Jiwu did not dispatch infantry. The left-wing offensive group relied on the superiority of sea and air firepower to tear apart the first line of defense in the northwest of Honshu Island.

A large opening was opened, but it was not enough, far from it. For the vanguard of more than 300,000 people, the breakthrough was still narrow.

After the bombardment stopped, Feng Jiwu looked at the smoke-filled beach, showed a smile, and said to Chief of Staff Zhang Hansheng: "Hansheng, order the troops to start landing. After landing on the beach, immediately attack the left and right wings with six brigades.

, expand the breach and hold the landing site, you command five brigades to land at Shimonoseki in the northern part of Kyushu Island, and the remaining troops immediately attack the Japanese second line of defense!"

More than 300,000 soldiers from the vanguard of Niangziguan Garrison began to land. Large landing ships, full of soldiers, quickly arrived at the beach. The heavy iron door opened. The first thing that appeared was not the infantry, but a group of soldiers.

A heavy tank, this is the experience gained by the division troops in many landing operations.

In conventional landing operations, after the landing craft arrives at the beach, the hatch is opened. What the soldiers will face is the ferocious firepower of the enemy guards. A large part of the casualties of the landing troops occur at the moment when the soldiers leave the landing craft. For this reason

, focusing on Han Tie's Marine Corps, new tactics for landing operations were studied.

That is, on every landing craft or landing ship, rather than carrying less infantry, it must be equipped with a heavy tank. After approaching the beach, the tank goes out first, so that the soldiers have a movable bunker to resist the oncoming, dense and dense tanks.

A rain of bullets.

Of course, during the landing process of the leading troops of the left-wing offensive group, there was no dense bullets flying towards them. The Japanese soldiers defending this area were all turned into broken corpses. However, the tactics that had been practiced countless times were ignored.

All units strictly enforce this.

After the first batch of soldiers landed and took control of the landing site, the large troop carriers lowered their boats one after another, and batch after batch of soldiers began to land. The battle to land in the northwest area of ​​Honshu Island went extremely smoothly, and the troops did not lose a single soldier.

They landed on the beach in batches. Then, they immediately began to clear the landing site and build fortifications to prepare for the Japanese counterattack. Countless small boats continued to carry soldiers on the sea in the distance.

Feng Jiwu jumped onto the rugged beach. He looked ahead, waved, and more than a dozen staff officers gathered around him. He issued an order: "Order, all tanks must immediately gather to form a two-way assault group to cover the infantry to attack the Japanese army."

The second line of defense, at the same time, call the aviation force for fire support!"

What Feng Jiwu wanted to seize was this fighter opportunity. Taking advantage of the Japanese army's first line of defense being torn open, he stormed the second line of defense. After opening the breach, he continued to expand the results, but instead of attacking in depth to defend against the Japanese army, he attacked the second line of defense.

The Japanese army attacked horizontally on both sides of the second line of defense. After completely occupying the two lines of defense, the Japanese army suspended the attack and adopted a defensive posture, waiting for the arrival of follow-up troops.

Feng Jiwu wanted to take advantage of the situation and continue fighting, but he couldn't. The left-wing offensive group had more than 750,000 troops. After all of them landed, he knew how large a landing site would be. Moreover, the main task of the left-wing offensive group was not The main purpose of continuously attacking the Japanese defense line was to attract Japanese troops.

The tanks roared. According to the pre-war deployment, the two tank brigades at the vanguard of the left-wing offensive group quickly assembled and divided into two armored assault groups. Then, the tracks kicked up dust all over the sky and headed towards the Japanese second line of defense. He rushed over, and behind him were more than 70,000 soldiers from four brigades of the Niangziguan Guard Corps, a huge flow of people.

Feng Jiwu's rapid offensive action achieved remarkable results. The two divisions of the Japanese army placed on the front-line beachhead position contained more than 40,000 troops. Under the superior ground and air firepower of the divisions, they were attacked rapidly by the superior infantry. , suffered heavy casualties, and there were not many left. The remaining troops, only five to six thousand people, fled to the second line of defense.

By the evening of the battle, the landing site had expanded to a vast area of ​​more than 70 kilometers wide, more than 30 kilometers deep, and an area of ​​more than 2,000 square kilometers. The last five brigades had all landed and immediately launched the second line of defense against the Japanese army. during the attack.

Less than two hours later, more than 70,000 troops from five brigades commanded by Major General Zhang Hansheng, chief of staff of Niangziguan Garrison, landed at Maguan in northern Kyushu Island. However, the landing of Zhang Hansheng's troops was met by Japanese troops in northern Kyushu Island. The 131st Division of the Defense Forces resisted fiercely and, after suffering a certain amount of casualties, defeated the division and annihilated most of it, they gained a foothold, expanded the landing site, and then shifted to a defensive posture.

As night fell, the Japanese second line of defense, under the fierce attack of more than 100,000 people from two tank brigades and nine mechanized infantry brigades commanded by Feng Jiwu, was finally torn open a large gap more than ten kilometers wide, Niangzi Pass. The troops of the garrison corps poured in along the breach like a tide. Then, three brigades were deployed to defend the front, and the remaining six brigades spread out on the left and right flanks to sweep across and continue to expand the breach.

At midnight, the Niangziguan garrison that broke through the second line of defense of the Japanese army and the three brigades defending from the front repelled many Japanese counterattacks and firmly controlled the front of the breach. After fierce fighting, the other six brigades The battle expanded the breach to an area of ​​more than 40 kilometers wide and 20 kilometers deep, and the attack was directed at Yamaguchi Castle, the headquarters of the Japanese defense zone in the northwest of Honshu Island.

Also on this night, the second echelon of the division's left offensive group, with more than 450,000 troops, under the command of Lieutenant General Ma Chaoyang, the deputy commander and commander of the Southeast Mobile Corps, began to board the troop transport ship from the first-line port in Busan. Taking advantage of the darkness, they rushed toward the northwest of Honshu Island.

Division troops landed in the northwestern part of Honshu Island and the northern part of Kyushu Island one after another, causing the top Japanese commanders in both places to break out in cold sweat. They were shocked beyond measure. The first person who couldn't sit still was Shirakawa Yoshizawa, the commander of the Kyushu Island Defense Zone Headquarters. Lieutenant General.

Lieutenant General Shirakawa Yoshizawa knew that the successful landing of the China Division troops in the northern part of Kyushu Island would have a great impact on him. Chiba was defeated and he could lose his official position. If he allowed the China Division troops to gain a foothold in the northern part of Kyushu Island, , Prince Zai Ren will definitely chop off his own head. The harsh rebuke he gave him at the last military meeting still echoes in his ears, which can only mean one thing: he does not want to be welcomed by His Highness the Prince.

The rumbling sound of artillery and explosions in the northwest area of ​​Honshu Island made Lieutenant General Shirakawa terrified. The China Division troops landing in the northern part of Kyushu Island made him feel as if a disaster was about to happen, and he was as frightened as a thorn in his flesh.

Uncomfortable, only by launching an immediate counterattack and driving the China Division troops down the Korean Strait while their foothold is still unstable can we turn defeat into victory and save Kyushu Island.

Just after midnight, Lieutenant General Shirakawa personally led a group of people from the defense zone headquarters to Kumamoto City in the middle of Kyushu Island, formed a frontline headquarters, and urgently mobilized four first-class divisions with nearly 100,000 troops, divided into four.

Road, launched a fierce counterattack against the positions defended by the five brigades of the Niangziguan Garrison Corps commanded by Zhang Hansheng. The intensity of the Japanese counterattack even exceeded the intensity of the main battlefield in the northwestern battlefield of Honshu Island.

In the northern part of Kyushu Island, the original Japanese defense fortifications were basically destroyed by the division's daytime bombing and evening attacks. It is simply impossible to rebuild the fortifications in the extremely severely damaged areas. What's more, Shirakawa

The lieutenant general's counterattack did not leave Zhang Hansheng time to build fortifications. Everything seemed to be detrimental to the Niangziguan garrison troops.

However, Zhang Hansheng was also a general who fought on the battlefield. Before serving as the chief of staff of the Niangziguan Garrison Corps, he was the commander of the Sixth Brigade of the Directly Affiliated Corps. He had considerable battlefield experience. After the troops occupied the Japanese position, he just took one look and

The construction of on-site fortifications has been cancelled.

The idea was to line up the tanks of a tank brigade at the front to serve as temporary bunkers, movable forts, and fortifications. Temporary fortifications were dug between the tanks to establish firepower points, and the artillery unit suppressed the Japanese army.

Artillery fire mainly protects temporary bunkers.

Then, Zhang Hansheng contacted the escort fleet and the Northern Flying Group headquarters to seek sea and air fire support. As soon as the deployment was completed, the Japanese counterattack came. Lieutenant General Shirakawa was also dizzy, and the width was only more than 150

In an area of ​​​​kilometers, nearly 100,000 troops from four divisions were deployed at the same time to carry out multiple counterattacks. The density of troops was so high that it was truly rare.

Under the cover of night, nearly 100,000 Japanese soldiers roared across the wilderness and rushed forward without fear of death. But for the Japanese soldiers, this meant the beginning of a disaster. First, dozens of the Northern Fleet of the Division on the sea.

A warship, large-caliber naval guns with long range and powerful bombardment threw the Japanese soldiers into the bloody wind. Then came the fire attack ship, a storm of shells, leaving Japanese soldiers lying dead on the road of charge.

Tired.

After that, there were more than a hundred fast gunboats nicknamed "Assassins" and equipped with three thirty-two "Thunder" rocket launchers. A single salvo fired more than ten thousand 300 mm rockets, destroying the path of the charging Japanese soldiers.

, turned into a sea of ​​fire, and the bodies of countless Japanese soldiers were reduced to ashes under the high temperature of thousands of degrees.
