Age of Conquest Reborn

Chapter 527 From Hebi to Xinxiang

The gunfire on the Forty-ninth Division's position suddenly stopped, leaving Xiao Shan, who was lurking at the front and preparing for a sudden attack, confused. The Japanese captain was about to give the order to attack, but Xiao Shan stopped him. His shrewd judgment was that this was

Due to the trick of the Chinese army, the Yin* troops launched an attack and then had a head-on attack.

Liu Zhaoyu judged that it was Wang Guangpu who arrived at the forward position and stopped the panic. He immediately sent a liaison officer to the 49th Division position to inform the division commander Wang Guangpu of his judgment on the current enemy situation. Just like this, it was a very strange situation.

It happened. The commanders on both sides of the enemy and ours made what they thought were reasonable judgments about the sudden cessation of gunfire, but no one thought that the entire 49th Division had withdrawn. To be more precise, it should have been an escape before the battle.

Koyama Masao observed for a while, but could not tell the truth. He immediately sent a squadron of soldiers to conduct a probing attack. He waited quietly for the torrential gunshots. After a while, a soldier ran back panting and reported: "Command

Your Excellency, the Chinese army on the opposite side has abandoned its position, and our squadron successfully occupied it without any fighting."

Xiaoshan was stunned for a moment and obviously didn't react. He asked again in disbelief. After getting a positive answer, Xiaoshan was so happy that he almost collapsed. Why did Amaterasu favor me so much? When he hit a hard nail, he slapped him

The door suddenly

Open the hole by yourself, God, I am not famous, Masao Koyama, God cannot tolerate him. He immediately ordered the troops, pressed forward across the board, and immediately occupied the position. Then, he concentrated his troops and energy to storm the 53rd Division's position from the flank. He knew that he had a sure chance of victory.

At the same time, the liaison officer sent by Liu Zhaoyu also ran back sweating profusely, his voice trembling with worry: "Commander, there is no one on the 49th Division's position, and they are missing." Liu Zhaoyu suspected that he heard wrongly.

"What? Say it again," the liaison officer repeated. He staggered a few steps and almost fell to the ground.

Wang Guangpu ran away, and more than 10,000 people in the entire 49th Division ran away. He didn't even see the face of the Japs. He became a deserter shamefully and completely exposed his left wing to the Japs. He calmed down and said,

Suddenly he remembered something and issued a hurried order: "Quickly, send my order. The Second Regiment, the Division Headquarters Secret Service Battalion, immediately takes over the defense of the 49th Division."

As the order was passed on, the division headquarters' special agent battalion took the lead and rushed towards the Forty-ninth Division's position. Too late, the Japanese army, which had already occupied the position first, caught them off guard. The soldiers fell under the bullets of the Japanese army in large numbers.

, fierce gunshots suddenly came from the left wing, Liu Zhaoyu closed his eyes sadly, there was no chance of the 53rd Division being spared, and it would become history.

The commander of the special agent battalion rushed in covered in blood and shouted at Liu Zhaoyu: "Commander, why is this? Those bastards of the 49th Division, why did they sell us to the Japanese?" No one could answer his angry question.

, painful, puzzling, desperate questions.

At this time, if Liu Zhaoyu ordered to withdraw from the position, although the 53rd Division would not be able to retreat completely, at least it would not be faced with a desperate situation, but he did not choose to do so. He just grabbed the submachine gun on the table, picked up the helmet and put it on his head.

All the officers in the division saw a kind of determination in the eyes of the division commander, which was a silent order.

Xiaoshan excitedly reported to Katayama on the walkie-talkie: "Reporting to the brigade commander, I have successfully occupied the left-wing position of the Chinese army in Hebi and are advancing to attack the right-wing. Please give an order for the main force of the brigade to attack the right-wing frontal position of the Chinese defenders.

"Katayama was speechless again. He had to admire Koyama Masao. With the strength of two brigades, he continuously captured two cities defended by four central military divisions in less than four hours. This guy had such bad luck.

The two Japanese brigade captains next to the hill didn't speak. They murmured to themselves, "Did you capture it? If the Chinese ** team didn't escape, wouldn't you be blocked in front of the position, waiting for the main force of the brigade to arrive? Man, if you are lucky, you will fall."

You can pick up gold nuggets with every somersault, but there is smoke coming out of this guy’s ancestral grave?

The 53rd Division was engaged in a fierce battle with the Japanese troops coming from the left wing. Suddenly the ground shook in front of the frontal position. More than a hundred tanks from the Yamazaki Tank Regiment assigned to the Katayama Mixed Brigade roared up and rushed up, followed by a dense darkness.

The Japanese infantry, the main force of Katayama Brigade, arrived.

The attack power of more than a hundred tanks is astonishing. The 53rd Division has no anti-tank weapons at all, and there is no artillery support from heavy artillery. Several holes were opened in the frontal position in an instant, and the red-eyed Chinese soldiers hugged Chengdu.

With bundles of grenades, they rushed towards the Japanese tanks without fear of death. Although they blew up more than a dozen tanks, they could not change the situation of the battle at all.

On the position, the soldiers of the 53rd Division and the Japanese soldiers who rushed into the position engaged in fierce hand-to-hand combat. There were deep roars, the sound of weapons clashing, the dull "plop" sound of bayonets entering the body, and the screams of the dying.

resounding in the darker night sky before dawn.

From time to time, seriously injured Chinese soldiers would pull off grenades and die together with a few kiddies around them. With their bravery and the spirit of Chinese men, the Katayama Brigade deployed all its troops, but failed to capture it.

In the position of the 53rd Division, soldiers from both sides were fighting in a melee. The 53rd Division could not defeat the Japanese army, and the Katayama Brigade could not completely eliminate the Chinese ** team.

The Japanese troops from the next two divisions also arrived. The balance of the war was tilted towards the Japanese, and the influx of Japanese soldiers instantly flooded the 53rd Division position.

Liu Zhaoyu's headquarters was hit by several mortar shells, and several staff members were killed on the spot. His left arm was also hit by shrapnel, but he seemed not to feel anything. Looking at the submachine gun that had been empty of bullets, his eyes were filled with tears.

Out of nostalgia, the guard company commander ran in with a few soldiers covered in blood to protect the division commander from breaking out. Liu Zhaoyu shook his head indifferently and rejected his subordinate's suggestion. A large group of Japanese soldiers could already be seen in front of the headquarters.

The guard company commander gritted his teeth and rushed out with his soldiers, and soon disappeared in the hail of bullets. More than thirty Japanese soldiers rushed in. When they saw that a Chinese general had been captured alive, they immediately shouted loudly with excitement, meaning

He raised his hands to surrender, and the black gun was pointed at Liu Zhaoyu.

Liu Zhaoyu had a sarcastic smile on his lips. He didn't even look at the wolf-like Japanese soldiers around him. He looked up from the roof, where a hole had been blown by the shells, and looked at the sky of his hometown where the dawn was faintly appearing. The cold wind blew on his pale face.

His eyes were surprisingly calm, he shook his head slightly, sighed, and suddenly shouted loudly: "If you want to kill the thief, you can't save him." He suddenly pulled out his gun and committed suicide.

Liu Zhaoyu's shout made the Japanese soldiers tremble in fright. When the gunfire rang out, they instinctively fell to the ground. After waiting for a while and seeing no movement, they got up and found that the Chinese general they regarded as a prisoner had committed suicide.

He died. The blood flowing from his head dyed the map of the Republic of China under his body red. A pistol lay quietly on the table.

The Japanese soldiers looked at each other in confusion, not knowing how the invaders were feeling at this time. However, no Japanese soldier dared to come forward and disturb the general's body. The awe-inspiring aura that had not yet dispersed in the room shocked their beastly, evil and cruel hearts.

The sky was getting brighter, the gunfire on the battlefield had subsided, and there were bloody corpses everywhere. The corpses of Chinese soldiers and Japanese soldiers were intertwined. The 53rd Division, from the division commander Liu Zhaoyu down, had more than 12,000 officers and soldiers.

They were killed in battle, no one survived, no one escaped from the battle, and no one was captured. They fulfilled their responsibilities as soldiers, and their blood dyed the land beneath them red.

Katayama Kono took the position as a victor, accompanied by a group of staff officers. However, he was quite shocked by the casualties of the Japanese army. The brave spirit displayed by this squadron shocked him and received

His subordinates reported that a Chinese general had been captured. He was very interested and wanted to see what kind of person the Chinese general was like who could make his troops fight to the death despite facing a desperate situation.

When he walked to the headquarters of the 53rd Division, he heard arrogant laughter coming from a distance. He walked over quickly, and the one who laughed triumphantly was the lucky man Masao Koyama. The general's body had been moved.

, in a kneeling position, Xiaoshan sat on a chair, with his legs spread apart, grabbing the general's hair, holding a pistol, pointing at the general's forehead, a soldier was taking a photo, and it looked like it had been taken.

A few pictures.

Katayama frowned and cursed in a low voice: "Baga, who told you to do this?" Masao Koyama, who was immersed in a state of ecstasy, turned around and saw the brigade commander, and stood up in a hurry. Katayama didn't even look at him.

After a quick glance, he walked to the general's body and bowed deeply.

Xiao Shan behind him was confused and asked directly: "General, this is just a Chinese. His soldiers caused serious casualties to the imperial army. Not cutting off his head has shown the kindness of the imperial army. Why are you so like this?"

Courtesy?"

Katayama glanced at him contemptuously and said: "It's your fault as a soldier. His actions are worthy of the honor of a soldier. Pass my order and give General China a grand burial." Xiaoshan was even more confused. What happened to the brigade commander?

I usually kill Chinese people without mercy, but today was a little unusual.

With the fall of Hebi, more than 90,000 Japanese troops rushed towards Xinxiang, the last line of defense in Zhengzhou, without making any stop.

Cao Guangtu, commander of the 130th Division who was defending Xinxiang, had a premonition of the intensity of the battle from the constant sound of gunfire and gunfire in Hebi all night long. When the sky became brighter, the sound of gunfire and gunfire from the direction of Hebi gradually subsided, and his heart felt like a knife.

It's sad that my old friend Liu Zhaoyu should have died for his country. The Forty-ninth Division and the Fifty-third Division were finished like this. Now, it's the turn of the three divisions in Xinxiang.

Well, being able to fight the national calamity together with his best friend for many years, he would not be lonely on the road to hell. He immediately ordered all the troops to enter combat mode and prepare to face the invading Japanese army.

He did not know that if Wang Guangpu's 49th Division escaped and completely gave up the left wing position to the Japanese, Hebi would not have fallen in just over two hours, and the 53rd Division would not have been completely wiped out.

At least it can last for three to five days.
