Age of Conquest Reborn

Chapter 477 Hangzhou Bay (2)

The first batch of Japanese troops successfully landed and occupied the beachhead due to the defeat of the Eighth Army. The Japanese ships had stopped shelling, and the second batch of landing troops also began to advance towards the shore. Yanagawa Heisuke's face became calmer.

, everything seemed to be as he expected. He wanted to tell the excited and carried away officers around him, what is the demeanor of a general?

In order to boost morale and show his example, he ignored the dissuasion of all the officers and insisted on landing on the land of China with the second batch of landing troops. He also said that this was his lifelong wish. On the landing craft he was on, Yanagawa

Heisuke ordered a military flag to be raised. He wanted to tell the Imperial warriors around him that your commander is by your side and will charge into battle with you.

The Japanese military flag was raised, and sixteen pale rays of light were emitted from all around the blood-red plaster. There was no wind or waves, and the military flag was hanging on the flagpole. Even the speeding landing craft could not make the military flag flutter.

Yanagawa in a good mood

Heisuke didn't notice this at all. His mind had already flown to a larger battlefield, where there were more Chinese troops waiting for him and his Tenth Army to destroy him. He never thought that this was his

The countdown to the last moments of life.

At the defense line of the Sulu Mobile Corps, the soldiers looked anxiously at the Japanese soldiers who were getting closer and closer. In front of them were the soldiers of the Eighth Army who were panicking like a flock of ducks. Behind them were the Japanese soldiers who were pursuing them with all their strength. From time to time, there were

The defeated soldiers who had fallen behind were overtaken by the Japanese army. Several bayonets were thrust into their bodies at the same time, and screams were heard one after another. This situation made the commander and soldiers a little overwhelmed.

If the entire front suddenly opened fire, and the equipment of the army was kept and all the Japanese were lying on the beach, the others behind would not be able to get an advantage. However, the fleeing soldiers of the Eighth Group Army became the best cover for the Japanese army. If they fired, they would eventually

They are the ones who fall first, so what can we do?

Moreover, many of these deserters broke into the minefield and were blown up and down. The defeated soldiers behind them stepped on the blood of their comrades and continued to walk through the mines regardless of their own safety. The soldiers could not believe it when they saw stars in their eyes.

There was no time to ask for instructions. In the blink of an eye, the defeated Japanese soldiers had rushed to a distance of less than 1,200 meters from the position. This is the best shooting distance for light and heavy machine guns. The soldiers holding the guns tightly had their palms soaked with sweat.

My heart was pounding with anxiety, and the muzzle of the gun was swinging back and forth with the crazy figures of the Japanese soldiers, but I didn't dare to pull the trigger.

The regiment commander who came to the forward position couldn't hold back his anger. He couldn't just watch the defeated troops break away from the position, let the Japanese in, and have a hand-to-hand battle with his troops, right? In that case, it was really hard to believe whether the position could be held.

It's easy to say that as soon as he gritted his teeth and raised his arms, he was about to give the shooting order.

Suddenly, his arm was pulled. He was annoyed for a while, but he didn't know what the reason was. He turned around suddenly and saw that it was the brigade commander Zhu Zhanying. He swallowed back the swear words that came to his lips. Zhu Zhanying was also anxious in his heart, but he next

Despite the order to shoot at his compatriots, he looked at the retreating troops and Japanese soldiers getting closer and closer, and the sweat on his forehead could not help but roll down.

Damn it, these stragglers are doing nothing but harm. He suddenly ordered to the regiment commander: "Give the order, and the soldiers at the front shouted together, Chinese, lie down quickly! Quickly!"

The shouts came out like waves from the position. At first, the defeated troops of the Eighth Army did not understand what it meant and were still running dizzy. The footsteps of the Japanese troops behind them were getting closer and closer. When they saw rows of people on the position

Under the dark muzzle of the gun, some veterans understood that this was telling us to lie down and hit the Japanese soldiers chasing us. If we didn't lie down, the soldiers of the ** Division would become jealous and would not treat us together with the Japanese soldiers.

Did you get a sudden shock?

Seeing the Chinese soldiers who were running and suddenly climbed down, the Japanese soldiers who were chasing after them laughed wildly, "Chinamen, the work of the sick man of East Asia! Those who can't fight, just run away for a small job!" The laughter did not stop.

Falling, in the mist on the opposite side, there was a sudden loud noise like wind, deafening gunshots, like a storm rising from the ground, and dense rain of bullets, suddenly emerged from the fog, and quickly penetrated into the bodies of the Japanese soldiers.

The charging Japanese soldiers felt as if they had hit their head against an iron plate. The huge impact force restrained their forward momentum, and their bodies were driven backwards by the high-speed rotating bullets. A shower of blood rushed forward.

A misty sky.

The defensive positions of the Sulu Mobile Corps opened fire across the board. As soon as the battle began, the battle became intense. More than 70,000 Japanese troops, like rows of waves unwilling to stop, fiercely attacked the defensive positions. However, what they encountered was a rain of bullets flying in the sky. **

The powerful firepower of the division troops showed incomparable power. The continuous firing of automatic weapons left the Japanese soldiers unable to fight back on the flat and unobstructed beach.

The first round of strikes caused more than 10,000 Japanese soldiers to fall on the beach of Hangzhou Bay. After suffering a sudden and fierce blow, the remaining Japanese troops, under the command of the commander, retreated to the original position of the Eighth Army.

Relying on the unrecognizable fortifications and exchanging fire with the ** division troops, we finally managed to establish a beachhead position.

Yanagawa Heisuke, who was on the landing craft, learned that the first wave of landing troops suddenly encountered a fierce blockade while advancing towards a deep attack, resulting in heavy casualties. The Chinese army did not know the ferocious firepower coming from there. He couldn't help but be stunned.

Aren't we chasing and annihilating the defeated Chinese army? Why did we encounter a stubborn resistance again? Where did this blocking force come from?

He picked up the telescope and observed the beach. Unfortunately, the heavy fog had not completely dissipated. His eyes were full of fog. Except for bursts of gunfire, he could not see anything. Since he had successfully landed, even if there was an iron wall in front of him,

Give it a breakdown to

The 170,000 elite imperial soldiers will be defeated no matter how tenacious the Chinese army is on the opposite side. "The second batch of landing troops will advance according to the original plan, and the first batch of landing troops will consolidate the existing beachhead position!" Yanagawa Heisuke

Give the order calmly.

The Japanese troops who occupied the nearly ruined fortifications of the Eighth Army had just taken a breath. What they had just experienced had turned their blood into cold sweat. In the blink of an eye, more than 10,000 compatriots were lying there, turning into cold corpses, filled with great fear.

, devouring the ferocity in their hearts, watching their companions' bodies being beaten into funnels, with blood splattered all over themselves, while they could not see clearly what the Chinese army on the opposite side looked like.

Suddenly there was a piercing scream in the air. The experienced Japanese veterans turned pale. This was the sound of countless artillery shells about to fall on their heads. They immediately shouted hysterically: "Artillery! Chinese artillery, take cover!" Three artillerymen

The brigade fired a salvo, and the original fortifications of the Eighth Army were immediately covered by intensive artillery fire and became a tomb for the Japanese troops.

Broken arms and limbs were flying all over the sky. The two poorly organized Japanese divisions were in dire straits. There was nowhere to hide or hide. The Chinese bombardment was indiscriminate, covering all areas. The explosion points of the shells seemed to be about to be destroyed.

The beach was turned over, and the gunpowder smoke dispersed into the fog, making it impossible to see the surrounding scenery. There were only deafening explosions, ruthlessly pursuing the lives of Japanese soldiers.

The intensive sound of shelling made Yanagawa Heisuke finally understand that the blocking force encountered was not the Chinese force that had just fled, but a well-equipped force. Judging from the intensity of the sound of artillery, the first wave of landing troops did not have heavy artillery.

The firepower covering and suppressing the defenders was probably more dangerous than anything else. For the first time, he felt worried in his heart.

However, all the artillery of the Second Mountain Artillery Regiment and the Sixth Field Heavy Artillery Brigade are still on the transport ship. They cannot be deployed on the beachhead in the shortest possible time. They can only use the naval guns of the Fourth Fleet to provide fire support and cover.

When the second batch of troops landed, he shouted angrily: "Baga! Why haven't the navy's guns fired yet?" At this time, Yanagawa Heisuke lost his composure and confidence. The Sulu Mobile Corps hit Yanagawa head-on.

I was beaten until I saw stars in my eyes.

The large-caliber naval guns on the Japanese warships roared, targeting the artillery positions of the troops. Compared with the army's artillery, naval guns undoubtedly have an absolute advantage. They are big guns that attack warships. They have a long range and great power. This time,

The artillery of the Sulu Mobile Corps suffered losses. Dozens of artillery were blown up and hundreds of soldiers were killed or injured.

The pressure from the artillery positions made Tang Qiusheng anxious. If the firepower of the Japanese naval guns could not be suppressed, the forward positions would surely suffer serious losses, and the casualties of the soldiers would increase sharply. What should we do?

He suddenly thought of the anti-aircraft guns of the air defense brigade. They could hit aircraft, but the range was not close, but they didn't know how powerful they were. He ordered Xu Shan, the commander of the air defense brigade, to immediately target the Japanese ship artillery, suppress the Japanese ship artillery fire, and cover the artillery bombardment of the landing people.

Japanese troops.

There was a lively fight at the front. The officers and soldiers of the air defense brigade were jumping around in a hurry. The first one to spot the Japanese was our Li Shuangxi. But when the war started, we would no longer have a share. How could this be justified?

The calls from various regiments asking for a fight came to the brigade headquarters one after another. Xu Shan was almost driven crazy by these regiment leaders asking for a fight. He was gearing up and eager to ask for a fight. He picked up the phone several times to ask for a fight, but he was afraid of being beaten.

A training session.

He knew what kind of work he was doing. Anti-aircraft guns were used to deal with aircraft in the sky. He was not needed in the current battle. However, the sound of gunfire and gunfire from the front line came straight into his ears. He became more and more anxious about this movement.

As he got older, he was running around anxiously, cursing at the Japanese, at the Japanese planes, and at the damn weather for leaving so many anti-aircraft guns idle.

The staff officers in the brigade headquarters couldn't help but laugh secretly as they watched the brigade commander going back and forth in circles, cursing and cursing. Can the Japanese plane come in this weather? The brigade commander is crazy about wanting to fight.

Okay, we are professional troops, we each do our own thing, there is no point in being anxious, but we are holding it in, knowing that the brigade commander is on fire right now, so we don’t mess with him!

Just when Xu Shan's heart was boiling with anxiety, the phone rang loudly. The staff officer signaled, "It's the commander-in-chief looking for you." Xu Shan rushed to the phone, and commander-in-chief Tang Qiusheng's calm and slightly anxious voice came.

Come.
