Age of Conquest Reborn

Chapter 420 The final struggle

Fu Qiang shot Itagaki Seishiro in the head with one shot. The power of the bullet was so powerful that Itagaki's head was completely blown away, and the impact of the bullet caused his body to fly backwards.

This is the Special Equipment Research Institute of Huangyadong Base. The large-caliber anti-material sniper rifle newly developed by Wang Xu and others was developed for company-level units of the ** division that are not equipped with anti-tank guns. This is a sample for testing.

Fu Qiang took a look at the gun and volunteered to undertake the test task.

The bullets were high-explosive armor-breaking bullets. If you use this kind of gun to hit Itagaki's head, the result can be imagined. When Fu Qiang saw Itagaki's head shattered, he jumped down the tree with joy. He didn't know Itagaki and was scouting the tent.

At that time, I saw a tent full of Japanese officers, but only one had the rank of lieutenant general, and that was definitely Itagaki. Therefore, one blow worked, and it also fired the first shot of the Japanese division's general offensive.

Fu Qiang did not leave. He reported the coordinates of the Japanese division command tent to the artillery commander. More than a dozen large-caliber artillery shells flew over and accurately hit the tent. When the smoke cleared, the Itagaki division headquarters was located.

, there were only a few deep craters, the rest were gone, and the Japanese commanders in the tents were reduced to minced meat.

An army without officers is a mess. Without the command center, all units of the Itagaki Division fell into fighting independently. The middle and lower-level officers commanded their respective units and resisted desperately.

In the night, several artillery groups of the *** Division, according to the division of labor, each bombarded fixed areas. The artillery shells with dark red tail flames fell like meteors within a radius of no more than ten kilometers. When the muzzle was fired,

The intensity of the firepower that rises and falls in the wilderness can be imagined.

Tang Qiuli compressed the remnants of the Banyuan Division together just to bring out the power of artillery. He had no intention of using infantry to attack. The combat effectiveness of the Banyuan Division should not be underestimated. If he bites back before death, the lethality is large enough.

Tang Qiuli would not use his superior firepower to fight with the desperate soldiers of Itagaki Division with infantry.

The infantry on the periphery drove the scattered Japanese soldiers who broke through the encirclement back into the encirclement with dense bullets. The encirclement was like a furnace of rolling molten iron. The figures of the Japanese soldiers running away disappeared and appeared in the fire of the shell explosion.

.

This was a one-sided massacre. There were no charging Chinese soldiers, only overwhelming artillery shells. With the artillery of three artillery brigades, it was not difficult to cover a radius of less than ten kilometers. Tang Qiuli's request was that the artillery shells

Stop, the troops are cleaning the battlefield and treating wounded Japanese soldiers.

Whether the soldiers of Itagaki Division struggled desperately or resisted stubbornly, there was no opponent who could make them fight to the death. There were only bolide-like artillery shells falling from the sky. However, Itagaki Division was the kind who had the last remaining

One person can defeat the Japanese army.

Several small groups actually rushed to the ** division positions surrounding them and successfully got involved with the troops.

Liu Dazhu, a soldier from the third company of the first regiment of the second brigade of the **Division**, is a soldier who joined the army from the Taihang Mountains. He is exactly 21 years old this year. He has experienced several major battles and is considered a veteran. He was recently promoted to deputy

monitor.

He was leading half a squad of soldiers to monitor the situation in the encirclement in the trenches. To be honest, he was not in a nervous mood. He was more interested in watching the excitement. If he could survive such a fierce bombardment, then

It's a miracle.

There seemed to be something flashing in front of his eyes. He looked carefully, but there was nothing. Liu Dazhu thought he was dazzled by the fire of the shell explosion, so he relaxed. On the dark ground, a black shadow suddenly rushed over like a ghost. The cold light

The flashing bayonet stabbed straight towards his chest.

Japs! Liu Dazhu understood. It was not a dazzle just now, but the reflection of the Japanese helmet. The bayonet had reached his chest. The incident happened suddenly and it was too late to avoid. Liu Dazhu had to turn aside, and the sharp bayonet penetrated deeply into his left shoulder.

The severe pain made his vision go dark, and several black shadows rushed into the fortification again. Liu Dazhu only had time to shoot out the bullets in the submachine gun clip. Several black figures were knocked to the ground, and more black figures rushed over and struggled with the soldiers.

together.

His abdomen felt cold, and another bayonet was stabbed into Liu Dazhu's abdomen. When he was dying, Liu Dazhu's hands tightly grasped the Japanese soldier's 38-gun. The Japanese soldier pulled back fiercely, but could not move at all. A soldier rushed forward

Come here and pour a bunch of bullets into this devil's body.

Liu Dazhu had a long 38-gun inserted in his abdomen. His absent-minded eyes stared up at the stars in the Kanto night sky, solidifying into a lying statue. His twenty-one-year-old life was left in the Kanto land.

Most of the Japanese troops from the squadron rushed to the position of the third company of the 1st Regiment of the ** Second Brigade. Under the leadership of the squadron leader, they crawled all the way to the position. On the way, dozens of soldiers were blown away by artillery shells.

opportunity, launched a surprise attack, and fortunately, Liu Dazhu's bullets before his death alerted the entire company, so the soldiers had time to react.

The Japanese squadron leader had no intention of breaking out. He also knew that there was no way to break out. A soldier of the Imperial Japanese Empire whose bayonet did not stick to the blood of his opponent should not die like this. If he was bombed along the way, he would have been red.

The biggest wish of him and all the soldiers in the squadron was to die together with his opponent. Therefore, every Japanese soldier was like a desperado who lost a bet. Even if he was hit by a bullet, he would rush towards him on the verge of death.

The soldiers of the third company were fighting with the Japanese army. In the dark night, the figures hugging each other were rolling all over the ground. The "clang" of iron tools, the rapid burst of Somi submachine guns, the sound of heavy breathing, and the stabbing of bayonets into the body.

The "thumping" sound and the screams of the dying people echoed together.

** Ma Chaoyang, commander of the 2nd Brigade, learned that the positions of the 3rd company of the 1st Regiment had been touched by the Japanese army, and he was immediately furious. The old brigade commander Su Jingfeng was famous for his ability to fight tough battles in the entire division and never lost an inch of position.

, he had just taken over, and something so embarrassing happened. Hundreds of thousands of troops were captured by the Japanese on the position of his own brigade.

When I saw the old brigade commander in the future, how could I explain to him and ask him without losing his life? In fact, Ma Chaoyang didn't know that almost at the same time, four positions in the Japanese division's encirclement were invaded by small groups of Japanese troops.

He took off his shirt, led the brigade headquarters guard battalion, and rushed to support the Third Company position. At this time, the Third Company had already suffered dozens of casualties, all of whom were stabbed with bayonets by Japanese soldiers who counterattacked before their death.

Thanks to Su Jingfeng, a rough man, when his second brigade was undergoing training in Huangyadong, in order to make up for the shortcomings of submachine guns without bayonets, he equipped the troops with machetes made of fine steel, which were useless in the subsequent battles.

Yes, some troops have been eliminated. With our superior firepower, we think they will never be used in this life.

The **Second Brigade Guard Camp was different. It was Su Jingfeng's Royal Guards. Under his nose, how could he dare to lose the thing in his hand? When communicating with the officers of the 29th Army, Su Jingfeng specially invited a master of swordsmanship.

He specially trained his own guard battalion to become proficient in the swordsmanship of the world-famous 29th Army Sword Team.

This time we were in close combat with the Japanese army, and hand-to-hand combat came in handy. More than a thousand bright broadswords, shining with a chilling light under the radiance of artillery fire, all pressed forward. The Japanese army, which was originally small in number,

Left at a disadvantage, the slender 38-gun had no advantage at all against the machete specially prepared for melee combat.

Some tall and powerful soldiers slashed at them with one knife. The Japanese soldiers' heads were split in half with the 38-gun shot at the same time. The Japanese soldiers howled and fell down. Some lost their arms and some lost their legs. Itagaki Division

The soldiers were really fierce. When some Japanese soldiers were knocked down, they fired the grenades on their bodies and died together with the soldiers of the surrounding Japanese divisions.

On the position of the third company, a ball of fire appeared from time to time, and a dull explosion sounded. Ma Chaoyang's left arm was cut with a deep wound by shrapnel, and the blood stained the sleeve of the military uniform. More than thirty minutes later,

The Japanese troops were all wiped out on the battlefield.

Ma Chaoyang panted heavily and sat on the edge of the trench. He looked around at the scene of the fight. The third company and the brigade guard battalion had killed more than 70 soldiers and injured more than 100 people. The ferocity of Itagaki Division left him with nothing.

Made a deep impression.

The severe pain from the wound made Ma Chaoyang grin. He laughed self-deprecatingly. He might be famous because he should be the first brigade commander of the ** Division to be injured, and it was in hand-to-hand combat. Sure enough, after the victory of the Shanhaiguan Battle,

When Tang Qiuli learned about the situation, he severely criticized Ma Chaoyang and warned him sternly that if this happens again, he will go back to Dingbian to take charge of the streets.

The actions of the small Japanese army were just a flash in the pan and made no difference to the overall situation. At 5:30 in the morning, the artillery that had been roaring almost all night stopped. The huddled position of Itagaki Division was repeatedly plowed by artillery fire more than once.

Every inch of land was turned over.

The peripheral troops began to search the Japanese positions from three directions, from the outside in. From time to time, sporadic gunshots rang out. This was when the soldiers were dealing with the wounded Japanese soldiers, killing the Japanese who dared to struggle to the death, and the desperate Japanese soldiers.

Shoot yourself.

At six o'clock in the morning, all the troops met in the center of Yong'an Fort. Since then, the Shanhaiguan Battle has ended successfully.

The morning sun rose, and the bright summer sunshine shone on the land of Kanto. Tang Qiuli stepped on the soil that had been softened by artillery fire, and looked at the battlefield. The smoke was slowly blown away by the sea breeze, and the broken corpses of the Japanese soldiers were scattered all over the battlefield.

This battle lasted three days. Tang Qiuli used nine infantry brigades, three artillery brigades, four cavalry brigades, and an air defense brigade with a total of 160,000 absolutely superior troops to completely annihilate the Banyuan Division in front of Shanhaiguan and below Suizhong City.

, Itagaki Division, with more than 56,000 people under its commander Lieutenant General Itagaki Seishiro, none of them slipped through the net.

The troops cleared the battlefield and gained little, without any prisoners. Except for the soldiers of the Itagaki Division who were shot dead, the rest refused to surrender, committed suicide, or were shot due to stubborn resistance.

Tang Qiuli took a deep breath of the salty sea breeze that smelled of blood. He was very excited. This battle was enough to make him proud. His eyes crossed the Liugu River and looked towards the direction of Jinzhou, where was the deepest part of the land of Guandong.

This place is his hometown.
