Age of Conquest Reborn

Chapter 749: Interception

The Niuxin Mountain ambush battle ended successfully, which surprised Tang Qiuli. The Kwantung Army's southward troops commanded by Lieutenant General Yano Otozaburo suffered more than 70,000 casualties and were defeated in Suizhong. More than 200,000 Kwantung Army soldiers left Guhunye.

Wandering like a ghost on the road leading to Suizhong, Yano Otonzaburo was half dead, huddled in the back seat of the car, his mind went blank, and the heavy blow had shattered all his confidence.

He didn't know how many troops the Chinese had deployed in Niuxin Mountain if they insisted on going south and filled in all the remaining troops.

All I knew was that the overwhelming artillery fire reflected the sky red, and the bodies of the imperial warriors were reduced to ashes in the explosion of fire.{}

The misfortune of the Kwantung Army's defeat was obviously not over yet. There was a roar in the night sky, and it was obvious that a large group of aircraft was flying in. The Kwantung Army soldiers looked at the sky blankly, then lowered their heads, and followed the squirming queue in confusion.

, Yano Otonzaburo opened his dull eyes, glanced at the sky outside the car window in disgust, and then curled back.

The hateful guys of the Air Force never show up when the infantry is needed most. The battle at Niuxinshan is over. What is the purpose of their coming here? Is it to cover the retreat of the troops, or to watch our jokes from the sky? Yano Otonzaburo made up his mind,

Even if they asked for dialogue in the air, he would not pay attention. He was not in the mood, and he had no face. He and all the Kwantung Army soldiers ignored one thing. The sound of the motor came from behind them.

When Le Yiqin led a group of fighters and bombers to the Niuxin Mountain airspace, the battle was over and the troops began to pursue him. He flew the fighter plane in a circle and did not find the fierce battle scene he imagined. He immediately called Tang Qiuli: "Division Commander, Division Commander, I

It’s Le Yiqin, the fleet has arrived in the combat airspace and is requesting instructions to bomb the target,”

Tang Qiuli's laughter came from the earphones, "Le Yiqin, you are late. The ambush at Niuxin Mountain has ended, and the troops are cleaning the battlefield." Le Yiqin was in a hurry, and hurriedly and slowly hurried, but still couldn't catch up.

Gan Xing hurriedly shouted: "Division Commander, the fleet has taken off. We can't just go back like this. Please request to bomb the Kwantung Army Jinzhou Songshan Airport."

Tang Qiuli secretly laughed and replied simply: "I don't approve, but you can find some advantages and bomb the Kwantung Army troops retreating to Suizhong. Note that the Jinan Radar Station sent intelligence that the Japanese aircraft at Songshan Airport have already

Take off, you should pay attention." "Commander, please rest assured, the aviation team is guaranteed to complete the mission." Le Yiqin was overjoyed and finally got some work. He immediately contacted the Jinan radar station and asked about the number of Japanese aircraft. Then, he took the fleet and then

Chase after.

Under the wing was a long Japanese marching column. The lights of the cars provided the bombers with a good target for bombing. Le Yiqin commanded the fighter jets to be on alert at high altitude, and then ordered: "The bomber group, immediately carry out ground attacks, let

The Japanese devils have a taste of our Buddha's light." Le Yiqin is ruthless enough. Once he strikes, he is a deadly weapon, and he doesn't even use ordinary bombs.

The bomber group passed over the Japanese marching column at low altitude. Small black dots were thrown out from under the belly of the plane. In the blink of an eye, the black dots exploded and turned into clusters of flames flying and falling in the sky, floating toward the faces of the Japanese soldiers like stars.

Above our heads, the guys from the Air Force were kind-hearted, fearing that we could not see the road clearly during the night march, so they set up flares? The Japanese soldiers looked at the bright spots in the sky in confusion, thinking in disbelief.

The flames fell, touched the body, and immediately burned violently. A scream, with the smell of burnt flesh, filled the night sky. "Air strike, disperse immediately." The Japanese commander then realized where the Empire of Japan was.

The fighter plane was a Chinese plane. The strange thing was that it had no bombs, but set fire to the sky. They underestimated the power of the Buddha's light. The bombs could only blow up a big hole, but the Buddha's light could burn into a wall of fire.

There were fires everywhere, and the sky was full of fire rain. Wherever the Buddha's light went, the Kwantung Army soldiers were covered in flames and turned into human-shaped candles. They screamed and ran wildly. Their companions around them suffered disasters and were already unconscious.

The soldiers grabbed hold of him and refused to let go until they both fell to the ground and burned into a more intense pile of flames.

The retreating team of the Kwantung Army was in chaos, with soldiers running around everywhere. Even the officers who claimed to be bushido-minded were stunned by this horrific scene. If Niuxin Mountain was shelled, it was something they were familiar with.

Weapons can still withstand it, but these silent rains of fire falling from the sky take the lives of soldiers one by one, and they are burned alive right in front of their eyes, which is the greatest damage to their nerves and will.

After throwing the Buddha's light, the bomber then threw ordinary bombs on the heads of the Kwantung Army soldiers. At this time, the Kwantung Army soldiers were not too scared. They had experience in dealing with bombs, so they just found a place to lie down, but

Those soldiers who were on fire and running around were a great threat to other living people. Once they were caught, there would be another unjust death. I don’t know who opened the head first and shot these human-shaped torches with their guns.

.

After the beginning, they followed suit. Sporadic gunshots continued to ring out in the ranks of the Kwantung Army. The officers also acquiesced to such behavior and could not stop it at all. In this panic, if you did not get blackmailed, you would already be the emperor.

Blessed, the Chinese bombers finally flew away. The Kwantung Army soldiers got up from the ground with pale faces and stared blankly at the burning corpses of their comrades on the ground.

Just as the bomber group returned, the Japanese fighter group arrived. Sixteen "Zero" fighter jets were divided into two echelons and rushed over aggressively. During the flight, they received a report from the ground troops that they were attacked by China bombers.

Air raid, bomber? The Japanese leader was overjoyed, a group of living targets, all working hard to death

Le Yiqin, who was hovering at high altitude, was even more happy when he saw the Japanese fighter jets flying in. At a ratio of two to one, he was about to die. "Everyone, pay attention, don't let anyone escape." He threw away the auxiliary fuel tank and

Pressing the nose of the aircraft, it took the lead to enter the attack position. The air flew up and down. Sixteen Japanese fighter jets became fireworks blooming in the night sky. Le Yiqin, who had taken advantage of them, led the team back.

The organization of the Kwantung Army's retreating troops was disrupted by this air raid. The soldiers could not find the officers, and the officials could not call for troops. They concentrated wherever there were people. Looking from the air, the Kwantung Army troops looked like they were being chopped down.

The pieces of dead snakes were divided into several large piles,

As people flowed toward Suizhong and retreated in the direction of Jinzhou, the vehicles and carriages of the baggage troops were mixed with the infantry. An artillery truck got stuck in the mud pit. The artillerymen called for the infantry to help push it out. No Japanese soldier came to help. His expression

He walked past with his head lowered indifferently.

Lieutenant General Otonzaburo Yano was not even in the mood to sigh when he witnessed this defeat. The unprecedented defeat destroyed the spirit of this army and interrupted the battle of Kanto, known as the "Flower of the Imperial Army" in the Japanese Army.

The backbone of the army, the soldiers have no fighting spirit, is the responsibility for this tragic defeat all their own? Yano Otonzaburo secretly asked, what will be waiting for him when he returns to the headquarters? Have a caesarean section to apologize or go to a military court?

?

The defeated troops of the Kwantung Army passed by Suizhong, and it was already dawn. The main force did not stop, leaving an incomplete regiment stationed in Suizhong County. The main force continued to retreat towards Jinzhou. Just after Xingcheng, the left wing of the army

Suddenly there was a burst of gunfire

Otonzaburo Yano, who was in a semi-demented state, opened his eyes in panic and ordered the car to stop. A staff officer, covered in mud and water, ran over in panic, "Report to your Excellency, Commander, that our left wing was attacked by a large Chinese force. The enemy's firepower

Very violent”

Yano Otonzaburo was trembling with fright and asked in disbelief: "China's large army? Baga, did they come out of the ground?" The staff officer was stunned by his scolding, and the fierce gunfire from the left wing was replaced by

The staff officer replied, "

Quick, convey my order, the 7th Division and the 11th Division, immediately build fortifications on the spot, block the attack, and cover the retreat of the large forces, Baga, hurry up and go." Yano Otonzaburo became furious, and he was still cursing stupidly.

Dumb staff officer.

The staff officer agreed, turned around and ran away. Everything was in chaos. Where to find the location of the two divisions? The staff officer wandered around like a headless chicken. Finally, he called the two divisions through the radio.

The division commander conveyed the commander's order. About an hour after the left wing was attacked, the Kwantung Army reluctantly organized a defense. It can be seen that at this time, the Kwantung Army had basically lost the ability to respond to organized forces.

The troops that came out from the left wing of the Kwantung Army's retreating force were five brigades led by Feng Jiwu who rushed from the Nuruerhu Mountain District to the Xingcheng area. At the beginning of the Niuxin Mountain ambush, the battlefield situation was extremely favorable to the ** Division's ambush force.

Tang Qiuli immediately ordered Feng Jiwu's troops to immediately leave the Nuruerhu Mountain area to intercept the retreating Kwantung Army troops in the Xingcheng area and eliminate sporadic Japanese troops along the way.

Speaking of which, Feng Jiwu's troops had a hard enough time. They had just arrived in the Nuruerhu Mountain District, and before they had time to take a breath, they received an order to attack in the direction of Xingcheng. After going back and forth for hundreds of miles, the soldiers almost broke their legs.

When Liuguhe broke away from the battle, the troops suffered basically no losses and even gave the Kwantung Army a hard punch. However, a battalion of troops on the Suizhong defense line was blocked by the naval guns of the Japanese warships and was unable to retreat from its position.

Come down.

As a result, an entire battalion was killed in battle, and the entire structure was eliminated. This had never happened before in the history of the Niangziguan Garrison Corps. This was such a shame and humiliation. From Feng Jiwu to every soldier, they all held back their energy and fought one after another.

After receiving the order

Regardless of fatigue, he immediately rushed out of the Nuruerhu Mountain District, swept through counties and villages along the way, and occupied Chaoyang, Beipiao and other important counties. He continued to divide his troops. When he arrived at Xingcheng, Feng Jiwu still had three and a half soldiers in his hands.

brigade strength.

Under the slightly bright sky, the Kwantung Army troops were rolling eastwards like a tide. Without thinking, Feng Jiwu ordered the troops to launch an attack immediately. With nearly 40,000 troops, he attacked the waist of more than 200,000 Kwantung Army troops.

After a severe chop, he was confident that not far behind, more than 200,000 troops were approaching.
