Age of Conquest Reborn

Chapter 751: Sweeping across Western Liaoning

With three and a half brigades, Feng Jiwu fought bravely into the more than 200,000 Kwantung Army troops. With his fierce fighting power, the Kwantung Army troops were in chaos and successfully held them back for more than an hour.

The chasing troops commanded by Tang Qiuli gained precious time.{}

A thunderous blow struck the head, and the defeat was irreversible. Lieutenant General Yano Otozaburo, the commander of the Kwantung Army's southward troops, hurriedly issued the order to retreat to Jinzhou. Before he could get into the car, he was involuntarily held hostage by the soldiers.

Fleeing to the direction of Jinzhou, the poor Commander Yano Otozaburo had only a few guards around him, and not even a shadow of the attentive staff and staff who usually surrounded him.

There was another fierce interception, and gunshots rang out like exploding beans. There were battlefields everywhere around Xingcheng. After the pursuit troops of the Japanese Army joined Feng Jiwu's troops, they captured more than 20,000 Kwantung Army soldiers.

Divide, encircle, each brigade competes to kill the surrounded

The Japanese army, such a small number of Kwantung Army troops, obviously did not satisfy Tang Qiuli's appetite. He issued an order to leave four brigades of troops responsible for destroying the besieged Japanese army, occupying Xingcheng and surrounding areas, and developing northward, clearing out

The Kwantung Army garrison troops were dispersed and stationed in various places.

The rest of the troops immediately threw away the Japanese troops in front of them and continued to pursue them. They did not give the fleeing Kwantung Army troops any chance to breathe. The soldiers had no choice but to put down the fat on their lips, swallowing saliva wildly, and walked along Xingcheng to

Jinzhou's highway chased the Kwantung Army soldiers from behind.

The Ninth Division of the Kwantung Army is also an elite unit in the Kwantung Army's battle order. The full strength of the division is more than 28,000. Fortunately, the Ninth Division was not ambushed in Niuxin Mountain.

, the organization was intact, but it was disrupted after a fierce air attack by the ** Division Air Force. However, the division commander, Lieutenant General Suwon Yongjian, still had the strength of two regiments, which was really unfortunate.

's lucky.

After being continuously ambushed, air raided, flanked, and pursued, Lieutenant General Suwon Yongjian knew very well that if the Chinese army was allowed to pursue it like this, the troops would eventually be scattered, divided, surrounded, and annihilated one by one. The command system of the troops had already fallen into a trap.

In such a state of confusion, he called his commander, Lieutenant General Otonzaburo Yano, several times, but was unable to reach him.

It must be that during the desperate escape, Suwon Yongjian even cursed this small restaurant selling miso soup. He was from a family and the commander was not in the mood. At the critical moment, he calmed down. Only by establishing a blocking front could he avoid the fate of the entire army being annihilated.

, when everyone is scrambling to escape, let me, Suwon, make sacrifices for the entire army, for His Majesty the Emperor, for the Kwantung Army, and for the honor of the Emperor of Japan, he murmured in his heart.

Suwon Yongjian was still very resourceful. He ordered all the commanders and soldiers of the two regiments who were always following him to stand on the road, facing the Kwantung Army soldiers who were fleeing like a tide, and shouted: "This is the Ninth Division.

At the assembly area, all officers and soldiers of the Ninth Division must assemble immediately." Not only that, Suwon also ordered the escorting flag squadron to raise the flag of the Ninth Division and plant it in the middle of the road.

These two tactics were very effective. The Ninth Division was also regarded as an elite unit of the Kwantung Army. Lower-level commanders of the Ninth Division, just like seeing their family members, came over with their soldiers to assemble a coalition.

Suwon immediately ordered to build blocking fortifications on the spot. In less than an hour, Suwon gathered more than 20,000 troops.

Looking at the running soldiers who were out of breath, Suyuan felt sad. In one night, the army lost more than 8,000 troops. My division was seriously injured. Can the remaining soldiers return to the homeland alive? The answer is

No, just look at the dust rising from behind

, the flood of pursuing soldiers, this is the outcome of this blocking battle, just doing the duty of a soldier, Suiyuan looked at the soldiers flying past indifferently, with indescribable contempt and anger on their expressions, he felt

What a great shame. None of these people are worthy of being warriors of the Yamato nation.

In a hurry, Suwon established two blocking positions, and his command quality is commendable. The Japanese soldiers of the Ninth Division had just dug out their personal bunkers, and the pursuing Japanese soldiers were swept up by the first wave.

The Japanese soldiers blocking the defense line opened fire. Unfortunately, there was neither artillery fire support nor the heavy machine guns and mortars normally deployed, and they were all lost during the retreat.

The sparse bullets were mixed with the roar of a few crooked light machine guns. The soldiers of the Japanese Army who were caught off guard were hit by the sudden bullets. The remaining ones hurriedly fell down, leaving the Kwantung Army soldiers stunned.

It appears that during pursuit, after encountering a blockage, one quickly switches to an offensive mode.

This is, after the first batch of soldiers were hit and the soldiers behind them fell down, in less than three minutes, hundreds of mortars appeared in front of the Kwantung Army soldiers, as if they were summoned out of thin air, with black muzzles

, fired the first artillery shell, this was one of the earliest field brigades established by Tang Qiuli. After countless battles, the commander's adaptability and the individual combat quality of the soldiers exceeded that of any corps.

The artillery shells roared and fell on the heads of the Kwantung Army soldiers, with flashes of fire, shrapnel flying, and clouds of gunpowder smoke rising. Then, more and more mortars and Type 92 infantry guns joined in the bombardment of the 9th Division of the Kwantung Army.

In the blocking position, the soldiers of the 9th Division, who had no support from artillery fire or heavy weapons, could only lie helplessly in the individual bunkers that were only enough to cover their bodies, praying to Amaterasu that the shells would not fall on their heads.

After receiving a report from the frontline troops, the Kwantung Army had established blocking positions along the line from Xingcheng to Yangjiao. Our troops were conducting artillery bombardment. Tang Qiuli was stunned. In such a huge rout, how could the Kwantung Army troops be able to defeat the enemy in such a short period of time?

In such a panic situation, establish

In the blocking position, the generals of the Kwantung Army have good offensive and defensive conversion capabilities and adaptability. This is a waste of effort. Even if more than 200,000 Kwantung Army troops are all transferred to field blocking, it will not change. He will completely defeat this Kwantung Army.

The determination of the heavily armed group.

"Order, all artillery units are deployed immediately on the spot to bombard the Kwantung Army's defensive positions. I will pass here in an hour." Tang Qiuli briefly issued the order, which meant that the artillery units following the troops would be launched within an hour.

Within, it is necessary to complete the task of establishing artillery positions, covering the Kwantung Army blocking positions with artillery fire, and opening the way for the infantry to continue to advance.

This is not an easy task. The advancing artillery unit requires extremely strong adaptability and requires the soldiers to train hard at all times. Zheng Yong, who received the order from the division commander, immediately issued an order to the entire artillery unit. The speeding artillery truck,

He immediately stopped, unloaded the cannon, and got busy nervously. Zheng Yong had been appointed by Tang Qiuli as the commander of the ** Division's artillery unit and the commander of the 1st Artillery Brigade. His 1st Brigade was the first to complete the artillery preparations.

While issuing the order, Zheng Yong had already communicated with the frontline infantry commanders and reported back data one by one. Forty minutes later, the first round of artillery bombardment began. The overwhelming large-caliber artillery shells hit the soldiers in the individual bunkers.

The Kwantung Army soldiers exploded high into the sky. Tang Qiuli nodded with satisfaction. Zheng Yong's movements were quite fast.

The large-caliber heavy artillery of the artillery unit, the mortars and Type 92 infantry guns of the forward troops, and the shells pouring from the hastily established Japanese blocking positions were enough to destroy any living thing in the area covered by the artillery fire. After an hour, there was no more Kanto.

The blocking position of the Ninth Division of the Army was already in place. Except for craters everywhere, lingering smoke, and gradually disappearing smoke, there was no trace of life.

There was scorched earth everywhere. More than 20,000 Kwantung Army soldiers served as cannon fodder and became the life-saving straw for most of the Kwantung Army soldiers. They delayed the pursuit of the pursuers for an hour. Lieutenant General Suwon Yongjian, commander of the 9th Division,

No trace of his existence could be seen. Together with his more than 20,000 soldiers, he turned into a wandering ghost in the northeastern sky, and the entire ninth division was wiped out.

All this has nothing to do with the dizzy and retreating commander Lieutenant General Yano Otozaburo. He heard the fierce sound of artillery coming from behind, and it was getting farther and farther. He asked the guards around him doubtfully: "It's our troops who are fighting with us."

Are the Chinese armies fighting?" a guard replied

He replied: "Your Excellency, Commander, this may be the unit of the head of the Suwon Division." Hearing the guard's words, Otonzaburo Yano felt a sour feeling in his heart. This guy Suwon, I am afraid that after the defeat, this guy in the entire unit

, the only person who can win.

In the afternoon, the defeated Kwantung Army troops had reached the outskirts of Jinzhou, the Nuerhe River area, and they would be able to enter Jinzhou City in more than 20 kilometers. By then, with Jinzhou's solid city defenses, they would be able to stop the pursuing Chinese army.

The general headquarters sent reinforcements to drive them out of Manchuria again.

As long as you can take a breath, things have not reached the level of despair. Not only Yano Otonzaburo thinks this way, but almost all Kwantung Army commanders at all levels and even ordinary soldiers have this thought. Jinzhou has become a lost Kwantung Army unit.

The only place of hope.

Half of the Kwantung Army troops had already crossed the Nuer River and were scrambling to get ahead. The chaotic and peaceful land suddenly began to tremble. On the distant horizon, in the direction of Jinzhou, smoke and dust rose up, covering the sky and the sun.

The midday sunshine rolled in with a kind of coercion, nerve-destroying pressure, and then, there was a thunderous sound, striking the already fragile heart of every Kwantung Army soldier.

All the Kwantung Army soldiers stopped moving and looked doubtfully at the direction of the smoke and thunder. The smoke and Shen Lei were getting closer and closer. What appeared in the sight of the Kwantung Army soldiers was first reflected in the noon sun.

The cold white light of the saber was like a steel forest, and then countless war horses shot over like flying arrows. I didn't know it was a crazy Kwantung Army soldier, and screamed: "China's cavalry"

Without him shouting, all the commanders and soldiers of the Kwantung Army saw that the Chinese cavalry troops, covering the sky and the sun, were heading towards them.
