Age of Conquest Reborn

Chapter 779 Conquering Cullen

The general attack on Kulun started at about 4 o'clock in the morning on August 17. The direction of the attack chosen by Tang Qiuli was the only backbone defense force of the Japanese army outside Kulun. The Capital Guard Division chose tanks as the main assault force.

The terrain was very suitable for the deployment of armored forces. A deep anti-tank trench was quickly filled up to create several passages. The tanks of the brigade continued to move outward to attack the defenders to defend against deep attacks.

At the same time, the artillery group of the corps responsible for the fire support of the campaign also carried out covering suppression artillery bombardment on the exposed positions of the Foreign Army artillery. How many of the Foreign Army artillery units had less than a hundred light artillery pieces?

The opponents of thousands of large-caliber artillery were hit by a hail of shells, with flashes of fire and shrapnel flying. In less than twenty minutes, the artillery position of the Foreign Army had become a ruin, with artillery pieces scattered everywhere.

Parts, the fragmented bodies of foreign army soldiers.

Several holes were opened in the defensive position of the Capital Guard Division of the Foreign Army in an instant. As expected of Qiuba Mountain's Imperial Forest Army, their combat effectiveness was quite strong. The position had been divided into several pieces. These people were full of ***.

**, foreign soldiers who got rid of the idea of ​​​​Chinese rule, relied on simple fortifications to resist desperately.

Many soldiers, holding bundles of grenades and shouting slogans "Long live the People's Republic of China", bravely rushed towards the Chinese tanks. With a loud bang, the foreign soldiers turned into blood all over the sky.

Rain, this suicidal style of play achieved certain results, and more than forty tanks ignited raging fires.

The infantry attached to the attack quickly adopted infantry-tank coordination tactics and shot down more foreign soldiers who attempted suicide attacks to destroy Chinese tanks. However, in the dotted trenches and half-collapsed bunker,

, Foreign Army soldiers holding gun bags or cluster grenades still appeared from time to time, as well as seriously injured Foreign Army soldiers, rolled in front of the tank, and fired the grenades wrapped around them.

More and more tanks were blown up. The Foreign Army soldiers used their flesh and blood to block the torrent of steel from the directly affiliated corps. Tang Qiuli, who had been observing the main attack direction, frowned slightly. The Foreign Army soldiers

His fighting will was somewhat beyond his expectation. These soldiers were deeply poisoned by Chouba Mountain and loyal defenders of the separatist government. Even if they were given a chance, they would not surrender. Instead, they would cause the troops to suffer greater losses. Then

The burning tanks made Tang Qiuli extremely painful.

Since there is no need to surrender, let us completely destroy you and eradicate unrest in the foreign lands in the future. He issued an order for the tank troops and infantry troops to temporarily return to the starting point of the attack, and the artillery group of the corps,

The tanks and infantry that indiscriminately covered the defensive positions of the Japanese Capital Guard Division retreated back in an instant.

After repelling the attack of more than a thousand tanks of the Chinese ***, there was a burst of cheers at the capital guard division position of the Communist Party of China. Red flags were waved out in the morning wind on the grassland, showing indescribable arrogance and pride.

, although the Capital Guard Division suffered more than 4,000 casualties in this attack, it was able to repel the joint attack of the Chinese Army's tank group and a large number of infantry, and destroyed more than 60 vehicles, which is enough to be recorded in the history of foreign armies.

Division Commander Jilantai and Political Commissar Bayarhu looked at the cheering soldiers and looked at each other with satisfaction. Needless to say, a great achievement from Comrade Qiubashan was waiting for them. Bayarhu grabbed the phone and reported to the leader what had just been achieved.

Qiao Bashan was overjoyed with the victory. The combat effectiveness of the Capital Guard Division exceeded his imagination. He urgently needed a victory to inspire the morale of the military and the people.

"Quick, immediately inform the entire city's citizens and various troops about the results of the Capital Guard Division to boost the morale of our soldiers! We must pay attention to the propaganda effect," Qiao Bashan is indeed a master of agitation, and will not miss any opportunity.

The loudspeakers in the streets and alleys immediately sounded. A defensive battle was trumpeted by Qiaobashan propagandists as the annihilation of more than 30,000 Chinese *** troops and the destruction of more than 900 Chinese tanks. It was a great victory, an unprecedented victory.

Looking at the red flag raised on the defensive position of the foreign army, Tang Qiuli's mouth became more sarcastic. There are still people fighting like this. For fear of not exposing the position of the defensive forces, he said to the artillery commander Zheng Yong beside him: "Zheng

Yong, the other side has already indicated the target for your artillery, and I’ll leave it to you now. The only requirement is that before entering the city, there should be no living foreign soldiers in this attack direction."

Zheng Yong, who had long been unable to hold himself back, grinned and said: "Commander, just look, my artillery has been anxious for a long time!" Zheng Yong grabbed the phone and ordered: "The first, second and third artillery brigades,

Cover the artillery fire indiscriminately, open a ten-kilometer-wide channel for tanks and infantry in front of the enemy's defensive positions, and fire!"

As soon as Zheng Yong finished speaking, the earth suddenly trembled, and a loud thunder-like sound suddenly exploded in the early morning air. Countless large-caliber artillery shells flew through the air like a meteor shower, with a scream that ripped through the air.

It hit the defensive position of the Capital Guard Division of the Foreign Army.

Earth flowers rose up one after another, the smoke mixed with the dust, and it became hazy for a moment. At first, the number of soil flowers could be seen clearly, and later, the explosion points were connected to the explosion points, and the firelight was next to the firelight. Rows of soil waves rose up, and the soil

Turn over the scroll, Tang Qiuli is here

Through the telescope, I saw a red flag washed up into the air by air waves, and then torn apart by the dense and flying shrapnel into countless small pieces. It was then carried further and higher by the air waves, and was soon submerged in a volcanic eruption.

in the midst of gunfire.

After one hour and twenty minutes of rapid artillery fire, the defensive position of the Foreign Army's Capital Guard Division had completely changed its original appearance. Division Commander Gilantai and Political Commissar Bayarhu just picked up the phone and wanted to call leader Qiao.

Bashan reported the battle situation. More than a dozen large-caliber artillery shells flew in. The division headquarters and everyone disappeared in a cloud of black smoke.

The tanks and infantry launched another attack, stepping on the soft and slightly hot soil. Once they stepped down, the soft soil could cover their feet. No signs of life could be seen. The soldiers directly under the regiment were all

He is a veteran who has been through the war for a long time. Faced with the effect of such shelling, he still couldn't help but gasp.

Following the tanks, the attacking troops poured into the urban area of ​​​​Kulun. Zheng Yong fulfilled his promise. In the main attack direction, there was not a single living foreign soldier. The capital guard division of more than 14,000 people all disappeared in the artillery fire.

Among them, the backbone of Chopper Mountain has been broken, and the door of Cullen has been opened.

The main attack direction is progressing smoothly, and the attacks in the other three directions are also smooth. Those responsible for attacking the western direction of Cullen are the troops of the 4th tank brigade and the 6th, 7th and 9th infantry brigades of the directly affiliated corps. There are more than 40,000 soldiers. It is effortless.

He rushed to the front of the foreign army's defensive position, and the sparse bullets fired were blocked by the tanks. Such density of firepower made the soldiers of the directly affiliated corps who were accustomed to fighting big battles lose their energy.

At the front of the attacking force were the troops from the 2nd Battalion and 2nd Company of the 4th Regiment of the 9th Brigade. After the tanks crossed a trench, they rushed into rows of low-rise houses. Liu Zhihao, the company commander who followed closely behind, looked around.

, he was shocked. He was surrounded by foreign soldiers. They didn't even look like soldiers. Their clothes were in disarray, and the guys in their hands were all kinds of things. They looked like a group of unorganized armed civilians, hurriedly pulling their guns.

bolt.

With a look of horror in his eyes, Liu Zhihao lowered his gun. He couldn't bear to shoot at these civilians. As soon as he stopped, a company of soldiers immediately surrounded them, shouting loudly: "Put down your weapons and raise your hands!"

"Because of the language barrier, these foreign armed civilians couldn't understand what the Chinese soldiers were shouting.

Several gunshots were fired, and five or six soldiers fell down with blood on their bodies. Among them was Liu Zhihao's correspondent, a boy who had just turned nineteen. Liu Zhihao's eyes turned red at that time. The Somi submachine gun roared wildly, and the opponent fell down.

Suddenly, the soldiers also opened fire. The foreign armed civilians, who thought the Chinese soldiers would not fire, howled, and the bloody scene had destroyed their nerves. They dropped their weapons and fled in all directions.

Liu Zhihao's company chased them down. Similar situations were staged in all directions of attack. Most of the troops encountered were unorganized armed civilians. They collapsed at the first touch. There were disarmed Cullen citizens everywhere.

, piles of

Squatting together, with eyes full of panic, they peeked at the Chinese soldiers who kept rushing in. The hundreds of thousands of city guardians that Qiao Bashan had worked hard to encourage suddenly collapsed under the fierce offensive of the directly affiliated corps.

, defeated into an army.

There were too many armed civilians who disarmed, and the army had to allocate part of its troops to guard these deceived citizens who did not understand the truth. Fortunately, a regiment of troops from the Tong Batu Brigade came with them, which came in handy. After passing by these *** tribes

The soldiers tried their best to explain, but the disarmed armed civilians calmed down a little and obeyed the soldiers' management.

There was a battalion that captured a large group of armed civilians, all of whom were young women. There were a hundred people. There were also troops who surrounded several courtyards and fought for a while. When I rushed to see them, they were all

Similar situations occurred among underage children in every corner of Culun. The situation was quickly reported to the teacher, Tang Qiuli.

Tang Qiuli ordered the troops to encircle the armed civilians or foreign regular troops who were still resisting and not to attack by force. The remaining troops should not be entangled and continue to attack the city in depth according to the original battle plan.

Rendezvous at the specified location, the peripheral troops tightened the encirclement, not letting a single Cullen resident escape, changed the combat method, and the speed of the troops' attack was significantly accelerated.

One by one, the attack arrows were directed towards the final meeting point, the seat of the foreign *** separatist government and the headquarters building of the *** People's Revolutionary Party. Along the way, they simply ignored the sporadic bullets fired and separated into platoons.

The troops were immediately surrounded, and the remaining troops continued to attack and advance.

By around 8 o'clock in the evening on August 17, after sixteen hours of fighting, various attacking forces successfully joined forces in front of the headquarters building of the People's Revolutionary Party of China and surrounded the building. Kulun, the largest city outside Japan, split the government.

The location, after leaving the embrace of the motherland for twenty-six years, returned to the hands of the Chinese. At this time, the entire city was already under the control of the army.
