Age of Conquest Reborn

Chapter 614: First Battle with Liu Motou

The troops who went to various places to participate in the suppression of bandits marched on multiple routes. On the Korean Railway route, in addition to the two main brigades of his regiment as the main force, Qiuquan You gave the troops in the direction of Baodugu and attached them to the 1st Anti-Japanese Workers' Brigade of the ** Division

, the Liu Chun Department of the 1st Cavalry Brigade, the Li Changjiang Department of the 5th Cavalry Brigade, and the artillery brigade of the Han Tie Corps also acted at the same time. It can be said that among the three-way bandit suppression troops, the Han Tie line has the strongest troops and firepower.--

The infantry passed through Pingyi from Zaozhuang and directly entered Baodu Gu. The cavalry and artillery passed through Linyi and Feixian and rushed to the Baodu Gu area. In early March, the Korean Iron Troops, with nearly 40,000 troops, surrounded Baodu Gu.

A huge encirclement was formed, and according to the location map provided by Chutian's team, all roads and exits from Baodugu to the outside of the mountain were blocked.

At this time, Liu Motou, who was in Baodugu's lair, had not yet realized that the danger was approaching. During this period, the minions went down the mountain to make a living and gained a lot. Not only did they steal a large amount of property, there were also many women.

After the brothers were working hard, Liu Motou asked all the brothers in the village to rest for two days. They killed pigs and sheep and held a feast. They made good wine and meat. He, Liu Motou, was not stingy.

Only one person could smell an ominous atmosphere from this calmness, and that was Mr. Wang, Liu Motou's military advisor. The bandit suppression troops set out from Xuzhou. Because they were advancing through multiple routes, Baodugu Village's informants were everywhere.

, and could not figure out which direction the main force was coming from. Most of the news that came back was vague. There was only one piece of news that shocked Military Advisor Wang. There was a large number of cavalry and artillery coming from Linyi to the Yimeng Mountains.

Military Advisor Wang thought that if the ** Division troops were to go north to Cangzhou, starting from Xuzhou and passing through Zaozhuang, Tai'an, and Jinan would be the shortest route. There was no reason to detour to Linyi. He had an extra thought and the ** Division lost a battalion. That's it.

Silent, he didn't believe it, so he went to hug Du Guzhou

Many small groups of bandits were released, with each team having more than a dozen people. With the mountain village as the center, the situation within a radius of dozens of miles must be reported in time. It has been two days since they were released, and no news has come back. Commander Wang's heart was slightly agitated.

It's more stable, that is to say, there's nothing going on around you.

He knew that Chutian's Sixth Division had all gathered around Baodugu, and had been supported by the Third Division. The sentinels sent out by Commander Wang were all captured without exception, and there was no news of their return.

Come out one team at a time and catch one team at a time, a large force

Before arriving, the third team and the sixth team captured a total of more than 20 groups of more than 300 bandits. In the past two days, the Korean Railway troops surrounded Baodugu. Later, the cavalry and artillery troops also arrived.

, everything is ready, just waiting for the time for the main attack.

Although Han Tie wanted to attack the mountain immediately, he was not an impulsive person. Liu Motou had been entrenched for many years, relying on the terrain of Baodugu that was easy to defend and difficult to attack. Large troops could not deploy, and people who had been there for many years became a living target for bandits.

, he ordered the Special Operations Team 3 and Team 6 to penetrate into Baodugu before the general attack, clear out the hidden sentries along the way, and open a passage for the troops.

Before the special operations team could set off, something unexpected happened. A group of bandits, about three to four hundred people, came down from the mountain. They were about to approach the encirclement. Han Tie gritted his teeth and issued an order to eliminate this group of bandits. Within ten minutes,

At that time, no one of the three to four hundred bandits was alive. However, the sound of gunfire also alerted the bandits on the mountain, so they could only resort to a forceful attack.

The sound of gunshots coming from the bottom of the mountain made Liu Motou, who was venting his anger on the newly snatched woman, stunned. He hurriedly put on his pants and bumped into someone. Liu Motou was furious and was about to curse.

The words reached his lips and he swallowed them again. It turned out to be Military Advisor Wang, who also looked flustered at this moment.

Military Advisor Wang told him that the situation was clear. Baodugu was surrounded by a large number of Central Army troops like an iron barrel. Liu Motou was shocked, how did these Central Army soldiers get involved? He yelled at Military Advisor Wang: "You

Where did he send those people? Are they all dead? No one came back to report the news?"

Military Advisor Wang was speechless. He didn't know what was going on. Not one of the more than 20 teams and more than 300 people came back to report the news. They were probably destroyed by the ** division troops at the foot of the mountain. But could he say this?

He was the one who sent the people out. This Liu Motou took out his anger on himself and said that he would be shot dead. He smiled bitterly and said to Liu Motou: "Commander, for the current plan, we should think about how to resist.

Let’s attack by the Central Army”

He didn't dare to say that they were troops of the Army Division. He was afraid that Liu Motou would wet his pants. Liu Motou rolled his eyes a few times and smiled, "Military Advisor, you were anxious just now. Don't blame me, Military Advisor. We are like this."

Baodugu is not made of mud, the mountain

I have food, drink, and women. I let the Central Army gnaw at it for the first half of the year, but they can't do anything to me. Let's go and have a look at the front." He was absolutely confident that Han Fuju didn't capture Baodugu back then, and today's Central Army can't even think of it.

Get a bargain.

The two people hurriedly walked towards the front mountain. Baodugu was indeed as Liu Motou said, with a copper wall and an iron wall. As soon as the attacking troops deployed, they were hit by a rain of bullets at the foot of the mountain and could not lift their heads.

The bodies of ten soldiers lay on the mountain road. Countless bunkers and bunkers shot out with tongues of fire, laying down a barrage of death on the path of attack.

Han Tie stopped the requests of several regiment leaders to attack again. He saw clearly that in this case, it would be useless for many people to go up. He took out the defense map of Baodugu drawn by Chu Tian. On the map, there are bunkers and bunkers.

The markings were very obvious and dense. Han Tie felt his scalp numb when he saw it. Liu Motou had enough money to turn this place into a military fortress.

Han Tie pondered for a moment and ordered the correspondent to call the artillery brigade commander and the artillery regiment commanders of each brigade to the headquarters for a meeting. In front of these brigade commanders, Han Tie asked: "Do you have any artillery?"

Are you sure to destroy these bunkers and bunkers? Use artillery fire to open a channel for the troops to attack?"

The artillery brigade commander thought for a while and replied affirmatively: "Report to Commander Han, concentrating all the heavy artillery of 105 caliber and above in the troops and concentrating the bombardment in one direction can achieve the effect you require." Han Tie nodded and said: "Go and prepare, all

The large-caliber heavy artillery is all under your command, waiting for your good news."

After the troops withdrew, the bandits stopped shooting and shouted on the mountain: "Soldiers, listen, our leader Liu Da has said that just these few troops are not enough for us to fill our teeth. We are not afraid of death."

Yes, come and attack the mountain, grandpa is waiting for you to come and die."

The arrogant shouts made the soldiers' lungs explode with anger. They gritted their teeth one by one, and their eyes were spitting fire. They wished they could grow wings and fly into the mountains to twist off the heads of these bandits who killed their comrades. They couldn't do it just by shouting.

Forget it, women's screams and cries came from the mountain again.

This was Liu Motou's idea. After the first battle went smoothly, a woman was sent to each bunker and bunker. In his words, this was a reward for the brothers and to boost morale. Today we will work hard.

Just to keep it like this

Not to mention the good days of the country, Liu Motou's action really cheered up the bandits. They were originally some desperadoes who vented their evil fire on women. They tuck their heads in their waistbands and stare at each other.

You have to walk around in a circle and keep your eyes on the mountain road.

More than 180 heavy artillery pieces have been deployed, but a woman's voice came from the mountain, which troubled the commander of the artillery brigade. He called Han Tie's headquarters, and Han Tie's teeth made a "clack" sound.

, His judgment was that the bandits discovered the artillery and used these women as shields to prevent themselves from firing. This is indeed a problem, these bastards, Han Tie cursed secretly in his heart.

Han Tie's hand holding the phone was covered with sweat. The artillery brigade commander on the other end was calmly waiting for orders. Time passed by, and there was only the sound of "rustling" electricity in the earphones. The voices on the mountain calmed down, and Han Tie's voice

He commanded hoarsely: "Let's get started." Putting down the phone, Han Tie sat limply on the ammunition box. He felt bad in his heart and resigned himself to his fate. I hope these poor women have left the forward position.

There was a loud thunder-like sound, and the ground trembled. More than 180 large-caliber heavy artillery roared at the same time. The shells screamed over the heads of the infantry and hit the bandits' bunkers and bunkers. Smoke billowed and rubble fell.

Flying sideways, the mountains trembled with explosions, and bunkers and bunkers were enveloped in flashing firelight.

Liu Motou miscalculated this time. The bunkers and bunkers he built based on the terrain were based on his experience and standards in dealing with Han Fuju's troops. He thought that Han Fuju's troops at that time were equipped with at most mountain cannons with a caliber of less than 100 mm, and

There aren't many of them, so they don't pose a threat at all.

But now, he is facing a new opponent. More than 180 large-caliber heavy artillery fired in a salvo, with astonishing destructive power. Bunkers and bunkers flew into the sky amidst the explosions, even bunkers hidden on the ground and transformed from natural caves.

, despite the artillery fire,

No, but the huge shock wave turned the entire hilltop position into a small boat rocking in the stormy waves, a bunker that was not destroyed by the shells. The bandits inside were shaken to and fro, stars were flying in front of their eyes, and the corners of their mouths and ear holes were bleeding.

.

The bombardment lasted for an hour and a half. Tons of steel poured onto the first line of defense in Baodugu, like a stream of boiling molten iron, pouring onto the ground. Even in the daytime, the top of the mountain was like a volcano erupting, with thick smoke.

The sight was blocked, and even the soldiers who were far away from the shelling site felt numb and itchy on the soles of their feet and had to cover their ears. You can imagine what happened to the bandits who endured the fierce shelling.

Liu Motou, who was watching the battle in a natural cave on the top of the mountain, took a deep breath. The location here was excellent. He could overlook the entire battlefield. Everything that happened was visible. He felt chills in his heart. Where did this come from?

Compared with the Central Army's artillery and its artillery, Han Fuju's artillery was like a child playing house. If the bombardment continues like this, the main peak of Baodugu will not be flattened?

Liu Motou was panicking. For the first time, his confidence in the natural danger he relied on was shaken. Once he lost his most reliable trump card, the true nature of all bandits was exposed. Liu Motou had plans to escape, and turned around.

Seeing his military advisor, hey, this guy's face was calm, as if nothing had happened. Liu Motou felt hopeful in his heart. Could it be that his military advisor had any clever ideas?
