Age of Conquest Reborn

Chapter 476 Hangzhou Bay (1)

The direction Chen Shuangxi ran back was the tent of his squad. The sound passed through the thick fog at dawn. It was unusually loud, revealing tension and panic. It alerted his squad leader and comrades. Everyone rushed out of the tent and looked at each other in surprise.

At Mushui's Double Happiness, the squad leader said dissatisfiedly: "Double Happiness, what's the name of a ghost so early in the morning? Are you not afraid of being laughed at by other classes?"

"Squad, squad leader, Japs, so many Japs!" Shuangxi stuttered anxiously, and his comrades burst into laughter. This little guy didn't wake up. Is he dreaming? There wasn't even a shadow of a ghost around. It was so quiet. Where did the Japs come from?

?The squad leader is even more dissatisfied. If this happens to the soldiers in his squad, if other squad leaders see it, why not shave off a piece of his face?

Shuangxi didn't care much, and pulled the squad leader to the gun emplacement. The squad leader looked at Shuangxi suspiciously and turned his eyes to the screen. At this sight, the hair on the squad leader's body stood up. This veteran soldier with rich experience, he knew the screen

The red dots on the screen represent something. I stepped onto the gun emplacement in one step and scanned it again. During this time, the red dots became much larger again. It was certain that they were a large number of warships heading towards the beach.

The squad leader rushed to the phone and called Xu Shan, the commander of the air defense brigade. After receiving the report from the outpost soldiers, Xu Shan did not hesitate and ordered all the artillery sighting radars of the air defense brigade to turn on, scan the sea surface, and prepare for combat.

Prepare, and then report the situation to Commander-in-Chief Tang Qiusheng.

Tang Qiusheng believed that this was true. Xiaoqiu's prediction that the Japanese army would land in Hangzhou Bay became a reality. He immediately issued a battle order to the entire army. All personnel in the headquarters were alerted, and all the phones were called.

Orders were quickly issued to all units. Under the orders of commanders at all levels, the soldiers quickly entered the fortifications, and each artillery slowly raised its thick muzzle.

On the battlefield, there were bursts of rapid footsteps, and the voices of commanders at all levels lowering their voices to issue orders. It was tense and orderly. There was no chaos before the battle, only the tense air, which seemed to overcome the thick cold fog in front of me.

Looking ahead with big eyes, there was nothing but lingering thick fog, and nothing could be seen.

Tang Qiusheng called Chang Feng, the chief of staff in Taicang, Jiangsu, to inform him of the news of the Japanese troops arriving from Hangzhou Bay, and asked him to order the troops to enter combat mode. Then, he picked up the phone and called the Eighth Army's forward garrison division.

, at his insistence, a direct telephone line was set up with the divisions of the Eighth Army, just to prevent the Japanese troops from landing while these motley troops were still sleeping with their heads covered.

The ring rang for a long time, but no one answered the phone. Tang Qiu's anxious eyes were burning, and he shook another phone. After a while, someone finally answered the phone, a lazy voice with obvious sleepiness, no

He asked patiently: "Who is it? You are not allowed to have a good sleep so early in the morning. Are you seeking death?"

Tang Qiusheng asked: "Are you the division commander? Please answer the phone, division commander!" The man was very unhappy, "What's the matter? I want to talk to the division commander. The division commander drank too much last night and was not at the headquarters. Why?"

Tell me what's going on, I don't have time to grind my teeth here with you!"

Tang Qiusheng, who had always been calm and kind, suddenly became furious: "Listen to me. I am Tang Qiusheng, the commander-in-chief of the Sulu Mobile Corps. Wake up that bastard division commander and order the soldiers to enter the position. The Japanese army is about to attack."

Landing in Hangzhou Bay, if you don’t want to lose your head, go quickly!”

The other party was obviously taken aback. How angry? He calmed down and said, "It turns out to be Commander-in-Chief Tang. Sorry! Sorry! However, our outpost did not find any abnormality. Without an order to go up to the peak, we did not dare to act rashly. Still

Wait for Commander-in-Chief Zhang's order, so you don't have to worry!" The implication is that it's not your business. Your orders are not easy to implement. You are talking nonsense so early in the morning. Where did the Japanese come from? Does it make you a Japanese army?

Tang Qiusheng threw down the phone angrily and ordered loudly: "Commander of the guard, immediately send a battalion to the Eighth Army's position, fire at all the tents, and blast away these reckless guys.

Drive us to the position!" After giving the order, his face was still livid with anger, but his heart felt sad. Zhang Fakui couldn't contact him. Such an army is just a mess.

This was the first time that the staff officers saw the commander-in-chief getting angry. It turns out that a good-tempered person is more terrifying when he gets angry. After a while, crisp gunshots rang out from the position of the Eighth Army. The soldiers of Anxin's miscellaneous army and security group

He was disheveled, yawning, and ran out of the tent in a noisy manner. His eyes were obviously bloodshot from lack of sleep. He looked around and kept asking, where was the gunshot?

Seeing that they were soldiers of the ** Division, they immediately began to scold them with dissatisfaction. They were not allowed to sleep well so early in the morning. What kind of evil wind were they smoking? Are you looking for death? Several commanders came over with their helmets and armor removed, smelling of alcohol.

, shouting loudly: "Wherever you shoot, you don't want to fucking live anymore?"

Yanagawa Heisuke, who was on the command ship, looked at the turquoise water and the mist-shrouded Hangzhou Bay, which became more and more like a fairyland. Then he looked at the huge fleet behind him and said to his assistants with emotion: "China has such a vast territory.

, Thousands of miles of fertile wilderness, with breathtaking beauty everywhere, but this inferior nation has been occupied for thousands of years, while the excellent Yamato nation can only live on four small islands, God is so unfair!"

"Today, we will use the sabers in our hands to open up the infinite territory of the Yamato nation. What an honor it is for you to participate in this battle in your lifetime! It will also leave a broad living space for future generations!" After saying this, he seemed to be filled with emotion.

, looking towards the wider sky, but unfortunately, the heavy fog obscured his sight, and all he could see was an indistinct blur.

The assistants around them looked at the commander who was shouldering an important mission with great respect. His words aroused the passion in their hearts. Not far ahead, there was the most prosperous land in China. Wherever there is anything you can ask for.

Countless beauties with wealth and money, in their view, Hangzhou Bay is just an undefended beach, just like the naked beauties exposed in front of them, they can easily conquer it.

The faint sound of gunfire caused a flicker of doubt in Yanagawa Heisuke's eyes. Could it be that the Chinese troops were already prepared? However, he soon felt relieved. So what if he was prepared? With the combat effectiveness and equipment level of the Chinese soldiers, they could stop them.

Can we defeat my 170,000 elite Japanese Imperial Army? There is an idiom in China called "Mantis's arms are like a chariot", which means exactly this.

Hangzhou Bay is approaching, and the Japanese troops preparing to land have boarded the landing craft one after another in accordance with the order of battle. The sound of motors is heard, and the landing crafts are like vicious arrows, shooting towards Hangzhou Bay with the greed and murderous intent of evil wolves.

On the morning of November 5th, at 6:20, the Japanese Tenth Army, with a strength of more than 170,000, was divided into three batches. The leading force, two divisions of more than 70,000 people, marched from the vicinity of Jinshanwei in Hangzhou Bay.

Caojing Town, Quangong Pavilion, Jinsiniang Bridge and other places began to implement the landing plan, and all the warships of the Japanese Navy's Third Fleet responsible for escorting slowly raised their thick naval guns and prepared to provide fire support. This was Emperor Hirohito's plan.

The sharpest knife prepared by the Chinese.

Around seven o'clock, the first sunshine made the fog lighten a little, and the first batch of Japanese troops began to land on the beach. The water was waist-deep, and the Japanese soldiers were all murderous and wished they could grow wings and fly to the shore.

The Jiangsu Security Division of the Eighth Group Army first discovered the tidal wave of Japanese troops coming from the beach, and immediately fell into extreme panic. The soldiers tremblingly picked up the rifles in their hands and could not even pull the bolt.

A few veterans bravely attacked the Japanese soldiers.

The sparse gunfire from the defensive positions not only failed to suppress the Japanese landing troops, but instead acted like a starting gun, prompting the Japanese soldiers to seize the beach at a faster speed and attracting fierce fire from Japanese warships. Now that the landing attempt had been exposed, the Japanese troops could no longer

Hiding their whereabouts, all the soldiers shouted loudly: "Give me the opportunity to kill!" The roar was so powerful that it drowned out the gunfire of the Eighth Army.

When the Japanese troops landed, the position of the Eighth Group Army was already covered by the artillery fire of the Japanese ships. The bunkers and fortifications built perfunctorily fell apart in an instant under the bombardment of large-caliber artillery shells. Bricks and stones flew everywhere, and the bodies of soldiers were blown away by the shells.

Torn apart, the position fell into panic. From time to time, senior officers could be seen hurriedly changing into the clothes of ordinary soldiers.

In front of the Japanese army, which was attacking like a wave and with overwhelming momentum, an officer who was not sure where the position was was was the first to drop the gun in his hand, hold his head and flee toward the position of the Sulu Mobile Corps, as if a plague was contagious. In an instant,

, the Eighth Army, with nearly 100,000 troops, had not yet seen the faces of the Japanese clearly. After firing a few bullets, the entire line collapsed, and the first defensive position collapsed.

Not a single officer stood up to organize resistance. Instead, the officers were the first to flee. The officers fled for their lives and the soldiers had no fighting spirit. The so-called defeat was like a mountain. Seeing the Chinese defenders in disarray, the Japanese soldiers seemed to have been given an aphrodisiac.

The bull became more and more crazy, and did not take any tactical actions at all. He just held the 38-gun straight upright, shouted wildly, and chased the Chinese soldiers down from behind.

The Japanese soldiers who were chasing fiercely did not need to aim at all, they just raised their guns and fired. The Chinese soldiers who gathered in a group and fled were the best living targets. When the gunshots were heard, they fell, and 70,000 people chased out 100,000 people. This kind of battle was the Great Japan

Only the Imperial Army could create this. Chase! Don't let go of any Chinese, kill them all. Bloodthirsty excitement rises in the hearts of every Japanese soldier.

Nearly 100,000 people of the Eighth Army retreated from Caojing Town, Quangong Pavilion, Jinsiniang Bridge and other places in Hangzhou Bay. The route of the retreat was covered with the corpses of Chinese soldiers. Japanese soldiers walked on these

corpse, and stormed deep into Hangzhou Bay.

The second batch of more than 60,000 Japanese troops who landed have already boarded the returning landing craft. The news that they successfully landed and quickly defeated the Chinese defenders made Yanagawa Heisuke excited. The battle situation was as he expected, and the China defenders were vulnerable.

, the success was beyond his expectation. He couldn't understand why Matsui Iwane, a veteran in the army, was beaten so badly in the first Battle of Songhu?
