Age of Conquest Reborn

The reality of the narrow battlefield area in Hokkaido, Japan, also troubled the division's right-wing offensive group. The 650,000-strong force could not be fully deployed on the battlefield. After Sun Zhenbang and Yuan Jinghao discussed it, they readjusted their troop deployment and assigned the Outer Mongolia Field Corps to

and the North China Field Corps, were divided into five echelons. The four brigades of the fifth echelon consolidated and defended the landing site, and the remaining four echelons advanced in the direction of Sapporo in order, with each echelon being thirty kilometers apart.

Yuan Jinghao commanded twelve mechanized infantry brigades, eight tank brigades and eight artillery brigades of the North China Field Corps. As the vanguard, they launched attacks on Zhixing, Yinweizifu, Tianyan, Asahikawa and other places.

Yuan Jinghao personally commanded the troops of the North China Field Corps' first to third brigades, as well as the first and second tank brigades, and the first and second artillery brigades of the regiment, and began to attack in the direction of Asahikawa.

Among the four targets that must be captured on the way to Sapporo, Asahikawa is the most important target. The other three targets were handed over to the remaining troops. The mechanized troops of more than 50,000 people quickly rushed towards Asahikawa.

go.

More than four hours later, we arrived at an area less than 100 kilometers away from Asahikawa. The march along the way was unexpectedly smooth. There were no Japanese troops blocking the way, and no bridges or roads along the way were attacked.

Destruction is more like a long journey than an emergency march of troops.

Tens of thousands of troops, thousands of trucks and artillery vehicles, hundreds of tanks and self-propelled artillery, the march stretched out for tens of kilometers, driving in Hokkaido, sitting in armored command vehicles.

Yuan Jinghao, who kept looking outside the window, didn't think that the little devil hadn't noticed him. Besides, this was still on the ground of the little devil. The unusual tranquility made him feel uneasy in his heart.

"Creak!" With a sound, the armored command vehicle braked suddenly. Yuan Jinghao woke up from his thoughts. He looked up and saw the long convoy stopped. He frowned and asked Chief of Staff Han Guangqi: "Chief of Staff, why did the troops stop?"

Come down?"

"Commander, I will immediately ask the 1st Vanguard Brigade what happened?" Chief of Staff Han Guangqi replied.

Before Han Guangqi could make a move, the command vehicle received a call from Song Guotai, commander of the 1st avant-garde brigade, "Report to Commander, our brigade's avant-garde battalion encountered a mine, and three vehicles were blown over. More than 40 soldiers were injured or killed.

The road is damaged and the troops are blocked!"

Yuan Jinghao's brows furrowed even more, and he picked up the phone. He said very unhappily: "Song Guotai, should you report this trivial matter to the Corps Headquarters? Are your engineers working for a living? Immediately clear mines, repair roads, and

You have twenty minutes to open the road to Asahikawa! Also, I will immediately order the 1st Tank Brigade to send out demining tanks to assist you!"

"Order the First Tank Brigade to dispatch demining tanks immediately!" He then said to the Chief of Staff, Major General Han Guangqi.

Waiting is very painful, especially during the fast march. Yuan Jinghao looked at his watch. He jumped out of the armored command vehicle impatiently, and Han Guangqi hurriedly followed. He reminded: "Commander, let's get back to the car.

, Now we are in Japanese territory, safety first!" As he spoke, he ordered the guards to increase their vigilance.

"Tch! The troops penetrated hundreds of kilometers into Hokkaido, and not even a single figure of the Japs was seen!" Yuan Jinghao looked around and said nonchalantly: "What's wrong with the Japs' territory? What tricks can they pull out?

?”

As soon as he finished speaking, a gunshot was heard, and the bullet flew past Yuan Jinghao's head less than one meter away with a sharp whistling sound. The guards around him reacted very quickly, and immediately flew up and threw him to the ground. Then,

There were a few more gunshots, and three of the guards who were on full alert fell. Then, the submachine guns in the hands of the guards fired back, and the sound of the retaliatory gunshots roared like exploding beans.

"Damn it, you dare to shoot me coldly?" Yuan Jinghao, who was pinned down by the guard, suddenly became furious. After pushing the guard away, he quickly hid next to the armored command vehicle and shouted: "Catch me alive! I'm here!"

Look what kind of bastard is this?" After fighting on the battlefield for many years, he could hear that it was the shooting sound of a Japanese-style 38-gun.

The guards surrounded them and suppressed the attackers with raindrops of bullets from the submachine guns in their hands. A few minutes later, the attackers were brought to Yuan Jinghao. There were three in total, two of them were beaten into holes by submachine gun bullets.

The remaining one, although not dead, was shot several times and only had half his life.

Yuan Jinghao looked at the attacker and couldn't help but frown. The guy who shot him coldly was wearing casual clothes. He looked like a Japanese at first glance, but he was not very old, only about fifteen or sixteen years old. Don't look at the younger one who was still alive.

, his eyes were full of fierceness, and he was shouting loudly.

Yuan Jinghao wasn't even interested in interrogating him. He pulled out his pistol and shot the guy's head off with one shot. However, he didn't feel the slightest excitement in his heart. It wasn't because he had killed a young Japs with his own hands and he had any psychological barriers.

Everyone who lives in this island country deserves to die, but they should consider more. There is no problem in fighting the Japanese regular troops. The ones who are more difficult to deal with are the Japanese armed civilians.

Twenty minutes later, the troops set out again. Yuan Jinghao wanted to call Sun Zhenbang and said: "Old man, the situation is not very good! I didn't see any of the little Japanese soldiers, but I was almost shot in the face by Japanese armed civilians. What do you think?

It all feels a bit like everyone is a soldier. You remind the following echelons not to suffer from this!"

Sun Zhenbang's answer was simple, "Old man, there is nothing to say, just one word, 'kill!' The teacher is right, kill until the Japanese civilians dare not use black guns!"

The ensuing march was even more unsatisfactory. They encountered landmines and cold-gun attacks on both sides of the road one after another. There were even several waves of armed civilians launching suicide attacks, causing losses to the troops.

Yuan Jinghao became impatient and ordered all the demining tanks to clear the road ahead. As for the attackers on both sides of the road, they hit them with artillery shells, leaving no trace of their corpses. As for the suicide bombs, it was even simpler. A burst of machine gun bullets hit them as soon as they appeared.

In the past, no matter what it was, as long as it tried to get close, it would be killed without mercy!

The troops cleared mines all the way and eliminated the attackers all the way. At about five o'clock that afternoon, they finally arrived at the outskirts of Asahikawa. Under the slanting sunlight, Asahikawa City was as quiet as death. Yuan Jinghao and Chief of Staff Han Guangqi, with a large group of staff, climbed up

A mountain peak in the north of Asahikawa, holding up a telescope to observe the situation outside Asahikawa.

Quiet, absolutely quiet, there is a hint of weirdness in the quiet. Even outside Asahikawa, no fortifications can be seen. According to normal circumstances, Asahikawa is an important passage to Sapporo. The Japanese army should be heavily defended, but now it seems

Come on, it looks like an undefended city.

Yuan Jinghao rubbed his temples, looked at Chief of Staff Han Guangqi and said, "Guangqi, what do you think?"

Han Guangqi thought for a while and replied: "Commander, judging from the situation of the troops marching along the way, I'm afraid there are no Japanese troops defending Asahikawa City. Of course, it is impossible for the little devils to surrender Asahikawa. I am afraid it is you who said that all the people should be soldiers!"

"

"Order, the First Tank Brigade sends a regiment to cover a regiment of Song Guotai Brigade, and conducts a tentative attack on Asahikawa!" Yuan Jinghao gritted his teeth and said: "I want to see what tricks the little devil is playing? Attacking troops

Contact the Corps directly!”

More than thirty minutes later, a report came from the walkie-talkie, "Commander, I am Liu Changshui, commander of the third regiment of the 1st Tank Brigade. The troops passed through the outskirts of Asahikawa unimpeded without any resistance from the Japanese army. Now the troops have

Entering the northern urban area of ​​Asahikawa, the streets are empty and there are no barricades!"

"Empty city?" Yuan Jinghao thought in confusion. At this moment, a violent explosion came from the walkie-talkie. He suddenly became nervous and asked loudly: "Liu Changshui, what happened?"

Liu Changshui's furious voice came from the walkie-talkie, "Commander, he is a Japanese armed civilian, and he was covered in clothes. He suddenly rushed out from the houses on both sides of the street and blew up six of my tanks! The infantry regiment also suffered the same attack.

The attack resulted in heavy casualties among the troops, and more armed civilians rushed out from both sides of the street!"

Another explosion sounded from the walkie-talkie, and Yuan Jinghao shouted: "Exit Asahikawa Castle immediately!"

The tank regiment and the infantry regiment withdrew. Yuan Jinghao rushed over and saw the bodies of the soldiers and the wounded being carried on stretchers, as well as the tanks with bomb damage. His eyes suddenly turned red, and he looked at them one by one with a gloomy face.

Major General Song Guotai, commander of the first brigade, walked up to him in a few steps and reported with a livid face: "Commander, the first regiment suffered more than 200 casualties and eleven tanks were blown up. I asked the soldiers,

There is not a single Japanese soldier in Asahikawa Castle. They are all Japanese wearing civilian clothes. They have all become fucking desperadoes. Their bodies are covered with weapons and grenades. They come out from every corner and play with us and die together. Commander, tell me, then

How to fight the battle coming down?"

"How to fight? It's easy to fight!" Yuan Jinghao's voice was so cold that it made people shiver, saying: "Chief of Staff, order the two artillery brigades and the heavy artillery regiments, self-propelled artillery regiments, and rocket launcher battalions of each brigade to build artillery positions and tanks nearby.

The first brigade and the second brigade all arrived at Asahikawa Castle and prepared to bombard Asahikawa. We require all fire attack units to cover all directions with firepower and bombard Asahikawa Castle indiscriminately!"

Not a single officer, including Chief of Staff Han Guangqi, opposed Yuan Jinghao's order. The tentative attack by the troops just now has shown that the entire Japanese in Asahikawa City are suicide bombs. If the troops want to pass through Asahikawa, they must not lose them.

Thousands of soldiers' lives were unavoidable, and Asahikawa was the only passage leading to Sapporo, which could not be circumvented or avoided.

More than forty minutes later, all the artillery and tanks were ready for the bombardment. Yuan Jinghao looked into the phone and simply said, "Start!"

Under the slanting sunlight, countless artillery shells were like meteors, piercing the sky and falling on Asahikawa Castle. The sound of the cannons was deafening, and the sky was filled with smoke and firelight from Asahikawa Castle, which was more blazing than the sunset and as bright as blood.
