Age of Conquest Reborn

Chapter 615 Attack Frustrated

Han Railway concentrated all its heavy artillery and violently bombarded the first line of defense in Baodugu. The bunkers and bunkers that the bandits had worked hard to build for many years were blown to pieces and submerged in the steel storm.

This move chilled the courage of the bandit leader Liu Motou. Like all bandits, he believed in the creed of "Keep the green hills and don't worry about running out of firewood." He would never fight to the death when he couldn't be defeated. He didn't believe it.

The Central Army can stay in Baodugu for a long time. There is no village in front or a store in the back. It is useless for the Central Army to occupy it. When these soldiers withdraw, they will not be able to afford it with the gold and silver they have buried.

A team?

However, there was one thing he couldn't understand. Why did these Central Army troops risk their lives to attack him? They were all officers and soldiers. Han Fuju didn't work so hard back then. Up to this time, he had not yet confessed the crimes he committed in the Grand Canyon.

, related to the matter in front of him, he did not understand that Military Advisor Wang, that is, the *** agent, seemed to have a clear mind.

Liu Motou looked at his military advisor, with a calm expression on his face. He was somewhat impressed. He had no idea. Military advisor Wang accurately grasped Liu Motou's heart. At this time, he could not be discouraged. He had to deal with this.

The bandit leader was forced to a dead end and fought to the death with the Japanese Army. Even if the entire army was annihilated, it would greatly consume the Japanese Army's strength and reduce resistance for the imperial army in North China. Even if he died here, he would still be loyal to His Majesty the Emperor.

.

Military Advisor Wang smiled coldly and said: "Master, the war has just started and the winner has not been decided yet. Why is the master so unsure?" Liu Motou was so worried by what he said, his old face turned red and he hesitated a few words, "Master.

Master, do you know whose army is attacking our Baodugu?" Military Advisor Wang asked, Liu Motou looked confused.

"North China Army General Tang Qiuli's troops," Military Advisor Wang said word by word. Liu Motou was shocked. Even if he didn't know a single Chinese character, he had heard of Tang Qiuli's name. That was

How could he offend the master who easily allowed tens of thousands of people to meet the King of Hell? Liu Motou thought that he could not afford to offend this person, and he was even more unsure of himself.

"The boss, the deal we made in the Grand Canyon was with his troops. Think about it, we killed more than a thousand of his people and robbed so much gold and silver. Even if we ran to the horizon, we wouldn't be able to do anything.

Will let us go!" Military Advisor Wang revealed the truth. Liu Motou secretly complained in his heart and complained: "Commander, you have caused me harm. If I had known it was the troops of the North China Army, there was nothing I could have said.

Don’t do this deal!”

Military Advisor Wang's face became even colder. He saw through the heart of the bandit leader, and he simply spread his arms and said: "Master, with our dangerous terrain in Baodugu, not to mention so many troops, even the ** divisions are all

There is nothing you can do if you drive here. Are you willing to give up the foundation you have worked so hard for so many years? What kind of life will the team you have raised be hunted down, on the run, and have no fixed place to live? "

These few words hit Liu Motou's core, and a fierce light flashed in his eyes again. I still have a lot of capital. Such a big family fortune cannot be thrown away in vain. Anyway, I have done the work, and there is no regret.

Eat, but he really had no idea in his mind, how to fight this battle, how to resist those cannons, Liu Motou was confused.

He simply handed over the command to Military Advisor Wang and ran to the back mountain to listen to the noise. Looking at Liu Motou's hurried back, a sinister smile appeared on the corner of Military Advisor Wang's lips. With a pout, the two bandits chased Liu Motou's figure.

He went there, obviously to monitor Liu Motou. After going up the mountain for several months, he used various methods to cultivate many confidants, and basically mastered most of Baodugu's strength.

Military Advisor Wang issued an order, and all the brothers on the first line of defense immediately withdrew to the second line of defense and used the terrain to hold on. The bandits who were blown to pieces by the artillery fire but who were lucky enough to survive, felt as if they had heard the gospel after receiving the order.

, Sayazi ran up the mountain, not caring about the battle formation. They didn't know how to do it, and they were crowded together. This situation was discovered by the artillery observation post, who quickly indicated the shooting coordinates.

The artillery shells roared in, and the bandits secretly rejoiced. Seeing the second line of defense right in front of them, just a few steps away, they could no longer return to the place they thought was safe. The artillery shells exploded into a sea of ​​flames in front of them, forming a wall.

Blocking a three-dimensional fire wall, the bandits were corpses, torn apart by flying shrapnel, and the fragments were mixed with gravel and thrown high.

There was no way forward, and the dazed bandits turned around and ran back. Behind them was a place of death formed by exploding artillery shells. The bandits who were blocked between the two lines of defense had no chance of survival, and neither did the artillerymen of the ** division.

Will let them go, this time the shelling lasted for more than two hours, more than a thousand bandits were wiped out, and the infantrymen shouted with pleasure to relieve their hatred.

Military Advisor Wang looked at all this and was livid with anger. These bandits had no military quality at all. Even if they retreated, they had no way of running. They yelled "Idiots, stupid pigs" and accidentally jumped out.

After hearing these few words, the confidants around him were stunned. They dared to know that the military advisor could also sing bird songs, but looking at his deathly expression, no one dared to talk to him. They all kept their questions in their stomachs.

The shelling stopped, and Han Tie ordered the troops to attack. The soldiers occupied the first line of defense without any effort. They were surprised to find that many bunkers were transformed from natural caves. Such fierce shelling did not cause much damage.

Stay as it is, the bandit inside, holding the gun, maintains the shooting position.

Watching the soldiers get into the bunker, there was no reaction at all. The soldiers carefully pulled them, and the bandits fell to the ground, bleeding from their orifices. It turned out that they were shocked to death. It can be seen that the shelling just now was carried out with a high intensity of firepower.

, almost flattening the top of the mountain.

After occupying the first line of defense, the troops did not stop and directly attacked the second line of defense. This time, they encountered a fierce counterattack. Isshiki's light and heavy machine guns fired bullets like raindrops, attacking on the narrow mountain road.

The troops huddled together and were attacking as fast as possible.

The oncoming bullets knocked down the soldiers. Han Tie, who was concentrating on observing the battlefield situation, saw something was wrong and immediately issued an order to stop the attack and retreat to the original position. Even if he stopped the attack immediately, it took only ten minutes.

More than three hundred soldiers fell in a pool of blood, and their bodies were scattered all over the mountain road.

The troops retreated like a tide. Han Tie's eyes were filled with fire. He ordered the artillery to fire and used steel to smash open the second line of defense in Baodu Gu. Smoke filled the air, the sound of artillery was rumbling, and the artillery fire was more violent than before, hitting Baodu Gu.

As soon as it stopped, the troops rushed forward again. This time, the effect was not achieved. The hail of bullets returned did not decrease at all. There were also smoking grenades that rolled down the slope and exploded in the crowd.

This attack caused greater casualties to the troops, followed by another burst of artillery fire. This time, Han Tie became cautious and ordered only one company of troops to conduct a tentative attack. As expected, after the company suffered dozens of casualties, it was

Forced to retreat, the smoke gradually dissipated, and Han Tie used his binoculars to carefully observe the bandit positions in front of him.

He finally saw it clearly. The second line of defense in Baodugu was on a transverse cliff dozens of meters high. There were many shooting holes. There were countless stone steps along a gap between the cliffs.

, winding and extending in. If you want to enter the mountain, you must take this stone staircase, and you will be hit by fire from both sides. The stone gap is extremely narrow, and can only allow two people to pass side by side. It is really a dangerous gate.

Han Tie was anxious. Liu Motou, the bandit leader, had worked hard in Baodugu to hollow out the mountain and make it into bunkers. The artillery did not have direct firepower, so these bunkers built against the mountains could not be affected by the shells.

the rock

On the rocks, there is no way to threaten the bandits hiding in the artificially dug caves. A force attack will definitely not work. Even if more than 40,000 people are filled in, they will not be able to advance even half a step. The bandits can repel the army's attack with just stones.

.

The sun set, and the sunset glow reflected the main peak of Baodugu where the gunpowder smoke had not dissipated. Behind the dense pine forest, the main peak was shrouded in mist. It was unknown what dangers were hidden behind the mist. Han Tie ordered the entire line to stop the attack, and the surrounding

The troops must not relax to prevent the bandits from breaking through. Although he knows that this is wishful thinking, he hopes that the bandits will break out and the big net outside will catch them.

The choking smell of smoke still lingered in the Korean Railway headquarters. At the brigade-level military meeting that just ended, everyone was at a loss to deal with this situation. Even the artillery shells could not be exploded. What else could be done? It took more than two hours.

The meeting was fruitless. Han Tie was extremely anxious. Is he stuck here? He mobilized more than 40,000 troops, an artillery brigade, and several artillery regiments, but he couldn't capture a bandit's nest.

He walked out of the tent, and the lights on the main peak of Baodugu were shining in the distance. The faint laughter coming from the mountain stimulated his nerves, seeming to laugh at his failure. The bandits must be celebrating their victory and attacked.

One day, more than a thousand soldiers were killed or injured, tens of thousands of artillery shells were spent, and only one line of defense was captured. As a result, Han Tie felt very useless and was suffocating in his heart.

There were footsteps behind him. Han Tie turned around and saw Chu Tian, ​​the captain of the Sixth Division of the Special Operations Detachment. He only became familiar with this young man during this battle. After Chu Tian saluted and explained his purpose, he asked Commander Han.

It was a request for a combat mission. Regarding the fact that his detachment did not open a channel for the main force to attack, Chu Tian felt very depressed and felt that the mission had not been completed.

He requested Commander Han's permission to dispatch his Sixth Squadron overnight, bypassing the front of Baodugu and looking for a way into the mountain from other directions. If possible, the Sixth Squadron would go deep into the bandit's lair, disrupt the bandits' position, and cooperate with the large army inside and outside.

, take down the main peak of Baodugu.

Han Tie approved Chu Tian's request and asked the Sixth Special Operations Squadron to find another attack route for the troops. However, he did not agree with Chu Tian's suggestion to fight deep into the bandits' nest and fight thousands of bandits with less than 200 troops.

, and the terrain of the main peak was unfamiliar and the situation was unknown, so he could not let Chu Tian take this risk.

Han Tie knew that Qiuquan treated every one of his soldiers like a treasure, and losing one was as painful as digging out his flesh. Therefore, he sternly ordered Chu Tian to only be responsible for finding another way for the troops.

, Never go deep into the main peak. This is an order that cannot be violated. Chutian knew Commander Han’s intentions and reluctantly agreed.

Watching Chu Tian's strong back disappear into the darkness, Han Tie sighed and turned back to the headquarters. He still had no good solution to the problem at hand.
