Age of Rebirth

~- -~

The artillery battle between the Chinese and Japanese armies lasted very short, less than 10 minutes before and after. Several Japanese artillery positions suffered devastating blows. In terms of the number and caliber of the artillery, Ito pawned his pants. He can't catch up with the horse. In Zheng Yong's words, "If the little devil hits him with a cannon, we will return him with a hundred shots, and see who is ruthless!"

The Mengmi front-line infantry unit of the Independent Division dispatched thousands of units, like digging potatoes, to dig out the Japanese observation posts one by one, and destroyed the Japanese infantry observation posts that sneaked into the front of the artillery of the Independent Division. The blind man, this is not counted, the Japanese artillery who did not receive instructions could only shell according to the original position, and did not receive an order to stop the shelling. Many artillery pieces fell on the heads of the Japanese soldiers. This made the Japanese army even worse. disaster.

By 20 o'clock in the morning on October [-], the artillerymen of the Independent Division had bombarded the Japanese troops of six divisions for more than five hours with artillery fire like a volcanic eruption. More than [-] rocket artillery battalions blocked the Japanese army with one rocket Back to all the passages of the Libao Grand Canyon defense line, and at the same time, it also cut off the possibility of the Japanese army going forward.

10,000+ Japanese soldiers were crushed by artillery fire on the front line of Mogok. The blocked forests and fields were full of broken corpses of Japanese infantry soldiers. The shelling of more than five hours almost killed more than half of the Japanese troops. The remaining Japanese troops , can only helplessly wait for the verdict of fate. They want to fight the Chinese soldiers desperately, but they don't even see their opponents. [

Ito's face was livid, he had already done his best, and he could only watch helplessly. In the dense fog, the rolling red clouds, the artillery who launched a counterattack, were knocked down by the artillery of the independent division with superior firepower. Hundreds of artillery pieces , After receiving this news, Ito was already very numb. The last hope of the Imperial Army troops in the first attack wave to retreat was shattered.

I can only wait for the fate of death. As the supreme commander of the imperial army, Ito watched his 10,000+ subordinates being massacred by Chinese artillery. This feeling is more painful than cutting flesh with a blunt knife. Ito is full of Sadly, he has experienced the scene of a big battle, but he has never experienced it. The opponent's infantry has not seen one, and he can kill 10,000+ imperial troops with cannons. This Chinese devil, in his hands, is there any How much artillery?

Ito let out a long sigh, closed his eyes, two turbid tears fell down, "Order, the first attack wave troops, immediately launch an attack on the independent division troops on the front line of Mengmi, and do not retreat without orders, even if all the troops are broken , "Ito gave such an order, his voice was hollow and dry, without a trace of emotion.

No one dared to raise objections. This order was actually sending the Imperial Army troops to the casualty line. With such intensive and violent artillery fire from the Chinese troops, the Imperial Army soldiers would be blown to pieces before they reached Mengmi. The tactic of the Chinese demon Tang Qiuli was to use such a devastating bombardment to wipe out all the imperial troops in the first wave of attack in Mogok. His Excellency Commander-in-Chief's judgment is correct, Mogok is a big trap.

Actually, Ito didn't know the result, why didn't he know that once this order was issued, few of the 15 imperial soldiers would be able to come back alive. Since Tang Qiuli can take out so many artillery pieces, he must be defending on the front line of Meng Mi. It is unbreakable, and letting the imperial army troops who have already suffered heavy casualties to attack actively is different from moths flying into the flames.

But he had to do this, had to issue such a cruel and sympathetic order, rather than being killed one by one by the artillery of the independent division in Mogok, it would be better to fight to the death, even if all 15 soldiers died It can also cause a certain amount of damage to the troops of the damned China Devil Tang Qiuli, which is better than closing your eyes and waiting to die.

No, it must not be like that. The soldiers of the Great Japanese Empire cannot just be so useless. They will die, and they will die on the road of charge. Let the young bodies of the imperial warriors meet the dense rain of Chinese soldiers, even if they are covered with Full of holes, their souls will also return to their native hometowns, because they are fighting warriors, Ito sighed, and seemed to be using this method to see off his subordinates.

Tang Qiuli had just put down Zheng Yong's phone, and was inspired by the Japanese observation post who risked his life to sneak close to his artillery position. Zheng Yong ordered all the artillery observation posts to get as close to the shelling area as possible to observe, mainly to observe the effect of the shelling. For more than an hour of bombardment, some adjustments were made to the way the artillery group bombarded, mainly to block the passage of the Japanese army's retreat to the Libao Grand Canyon.

According to Zheng Yong's estimation, the little devil who was suppressed on the front line of Mogok had already lost his combat effectiveness. Zheng Yong said, "Master, if hundreds of thousands of cannonballs hit it, even if the little devil is an iron man, he will be turned into powder. Just now an observation team reported that the shelling area they observed, how can I put it, the ground was almost crimson red, there was not a single standing tree, there was not a single complete stone, and when the fog cleared, the infantry Just go up and clean the battlefield, but there is nothing left."

Tang Qiuli agreed with Zheng Yong's statement. In fact, if the normal battlefield rules were followed, infantry and tanks could have rushed up to settle the battle after two hours of bombardment, but Tang Qiuli didn't want to do this. In the thick fog, the target cannot be seen clearly, and if you invest in the infantry unit, after a scuffle, you can win a big victory, but the casualties are not small. He still has the same principle, and the battle that can be solved with artillery will never use the lives of soldiers. Finish.

According to Tang Qiuli's estimation, the Japanese army should not have many troops left, just like overripe persimmons, which can be blown to the ground by a gust of wind. Japanese soldiers who knew they had no hope of surviving came to a desperate assault and risked their lives. This problem really cannot be ignored.

He immediately picked up the phone, "Order the forward troops on the front line of Mengmi to prepare for the anti-Japanese assault immediately. Remember, just defend on the spot, use intensive firepower to kill and injure the active forces of the Japanese army as much as possible, and never allow that Troops, launch a counter-assault, wait for the fog to dissipate, and wait for the order of the division headquarters."

The Japanese soldiers were really desperate. Under the command of the middle and lower-level officers, the Japanese soldiers with bare backs and a white cloth wrapped around their heads held bayonets, just like drinking the invulnerable talisman water, and did not take any evasion at all. The action, rushing like a swarm, the charge of 8 or [-] people, the scene is big enough.

"Boom" a large-caliber gun.Falling on the road where the Japanese soldiers charged, more than a dozen Japanese soldiers were like torn toys, with blood and flesh flying all over the place. The Japanese soldiers around them seemed to have not seen this scene, and kept rushing forward. , the Japanese soldiers had lost consciousness and fear, lying on the spot and were killed by the Chinese cannons, and on the way of charging, in a burst of fire, their bodies were shattered into pieces, the latter is undoubtedly the most in line with the noble Japanese warriors How to die.

The flames and smoke from the cannon explosion rolled in the cotton-like thick fog, and the figures of the Japanese soldiers appeared and disappeared like ghosts. This was a contest between desire and will, and the overwhelming artillery fire. A wall of fire rushed through the waves of gunpowder smoke, and the figures of Japanese soldiers became less and less. Behind them were broken corpses.

Finally, I could see the illusory outline of the town in the dense fog. However, what made the Japanese soldiers even more desperate was that in front of the outline were the muzzles of several tanks and the muzzles of several light and heavy machine guns, as if they had been cut off. The current, the overwhelming artillery fire, stopped abruptly, and there was a strange calm in the world. This kind of explosion from the sky-shattering explosion to the calm without any sound was unbearable.

Calm is short-lived. The ears and minds of the Japanese soldiers rushing to the Mengmi defense line have not yet adapted to this calm. The sudden rain of gunfire replaced the calm. The eyes of the Japanese soldiers were full of little Huo Huo, the Japanese soldier in the first row, was covered in blood holes, and was thrown out on his back. The huge impact of light and heavy machine guns knocked down the Japanese soldier like cutting rice.

The muzzle of the tank also spit out cannons, and the low-level cannons exploded in the pile of Japanese soldiers who rushed over. This was another form of shelling. At about eleven o'clock in the afternoon, the battlefield completely calmed down. As if to match the rhythm of this battle, the dense fog gradually dissipated until it was blown away by the autumn wind in northern Myanmar.

The whole picture of the huge battlefield was immediately shown in front of Tang Qiuli's telescopic lens, a scene of the war just ended, from Mogok to the front line of Mengmi, there was not a trace of green, and there were pits everywhere. Everywhere is as desolate as a desert, and I can't see other colors. My eyes are full of scorched earth, which is the land that has been overturned several times by artillery. [

Japan dispatched troops from Southeast Asia to go out of Mogok. Six divisions with 10,000+ troops were wiped out in more than seven hours of fighting. This is the largest number of Japanese troops annihilated since Tang Qiuli commanded the battle. , is also an independent division unit, which had the fewest casualties in all previous wars. In order to achieve this effect, the independent division artillery unit fired nearly a million rounds of artillery, and all the artillery stored before the war was used up.

This shelling is also unprecedented in the war history of all countries in the world. Various coincidences and various favorable factors have created such a battle method. No infantry was dispatched, but more than 8000 artillery pieces were used to decide a battle. The victory of the battle can only be achieved by Tang Qiuli, and only the strong economic and military strength of the independent division can achieve it.

A bombardment that lasted more than seven hours killed about one-third of the Japanese troops under Ito's command. There was joy in the division headquarters. The young staff officers and correspondents jumped and cheered. The witnesses of the battle naturally felt deeply. Tang Qiuli suddenly saw through the binoculars the figures of two soldiers walking staggeringly on the land plowed by artillery fire, as if they were still carrying a stretcher.
