Age of Rebirth

Chu Tian brought more than [-] members of the team to the position of the First Regiment of the [-]rd Division of the Japanese Army. The commander of the regiment, Takajiro Takajiro, warmly received him at the regiment headquarters.

Colonel Takako's enthusiasm, to a large extent, is based on the orders of Lieutenant General Kenji Morie, the commander of the division, and partly because of the face of Colonel Nishihashi, the leader of the field inspection team of the military headquarters. The imperial envoy of the military department, otherwise, as Captain Fujino, a small squadron leader, he couldn't afford to welcome him at the regiment headquarters.

However, this guy Fujino has had good luck now, and he has served as the captain of Colonel Nishibashi's guard. Chutian's military rank and position, but contemptuous of him.

Originally, Chutian was going to bring all the team members here, but the little dog major refused to agree to anything, and had to leave half of the troops to wait for Commander Xiqiao at any time. Chutian couldn't insist on insisting, but, He is very relieved of the team leader and the remaining team members. They are all veterans. Since entering the special warfare detachment, he has spent more time dealing with the Japanese army than in his own army, and he can't speak Japanese. .

Colonel Takakojiro is a typical Japanese military officer, with a short and thick body, a resolute and cold face, with a white gloved right hand, pressing on the handle of the command saber wrapped with gold thread, just in front of the regiment headquarters. It was in an open space, with several staff officers and guards behind them, waiting for Chu Tian and the others to emerge from the traffic trench. [

When he arrived in front of Yingxiao, Chu Tian stood at attention and saluted, and said: "Report to Colonel Yingxiao, the captain of the guard team of the field inspection team of the military headquarters, Captain Fujino, has been ordered to lead his troops to your department to observe the battle, and please guide him, Your Excellency!"

Chu Tian also knew that with his current disguised identity, he was a very important role among so many Japanese troops.Therefore, acting respectful but not humble, and adhering to the etiquette of superiors and subordinates is just right, and it has won the favor of Colonel Takako.Indifferent but polite.There was also a hint of contempt in exchange for a friendly smile.

Takako said: "Fujino-kun, you're welcome. It's been a hard journey. Please go to the regiment headquarters to rest!" After finishing speaking.Rarely made an invitation gesture, and saw several other staff officers looking at each other, it was always His Excellency the Chief, who was so polite to a little captain, and this was the first time I saw him.

Chu Tian observed carefully.Yingxiao's regiment headquarters is less than three kilometers away from the opposite US military position. Talking about the US military's 155mm caliber howitzer, it is an artillery with a caliber of tens of millimeters. , sent to the west, according to the routine.A regiment-level command, so close to the front line, either did not pay attention to the US military on the opposite side, or the commander lacked the most basic military common sense.

And the location of this headquarters is definitely not the best hiding place.It was completely exposed to the firepower of the US troops on the opposite side, and what was even more bizarre was that there was a flagpole standing impressively in the open space in front of the wing's concealed headquarters.A league flag with pale sun lines scattered, fluttering in the wind.I'm afraid that the US troops on the opposite side don't know that this is a headquarters?

Chu Tian couldn't figure it out, did Colonel Yingxiao know or wasn't afraid of death?But judging from his performance, the two possibilities are very small. Colonel Ying Xiao also saw the doubt in Chu Tian's eyes, smiled conceitedly, but did not explain anything, and took the lead in walking ahead.

At this moment, in the sky, there was a sudden scream of metal pellets piercing the air when they flew at high speed, from far to near, pressing on their heads, a guard shouted: "The enemy is shelling, the regiment captain, hurry up!" Conceal!" Saying that, several guards rushed towards Ying Xiao, covering him with their bodies.

As soon as the words fell, more than a dozen small-caliber cannons exploded violently in the surroundings. The huge explosion sound echoed in the surroundings, splashing mud and dust, flooding the open space, and a whistling cannon just hit the flagpole. The military flag of the Sun, which was still flaring its teeth and claws just now, was swirling like a piece of torn diaper, submerged in gunpowder smoke.

Chutian and the twenty or so team members naturally wouldn't just stand around and be bombed. When the cannon was in the air, they had already quickly found the hidden object. Therefore, the dozen or so cannons did not cause Chutian and the others any harm. A little hurt.

When the gunpowder smoke and dust dissipated, Chu Tian's eyes were straightened. That Colonel Ying Xiao didn't even make a movement of lying down at all. He just stood upright in the gunpowder smoke with a command knife in his hand. A few guards surrounded him tightly, but the staff officers got up covered in mud and in a mess. Two of them still had blood on their bodies, and they were obviously unlucky people.

For Colonel Ying Xiao's performance, Chu Tian could only say two words: "I'm convinced!" Are you really not afraid of death?Compared with this little devil, the performance of himself and his team members is a little pity, not as brave as an officer of the Japanese Imperial Army, but Chu Tian will never imitate this guy like a fool, and use such a stupid way , to show your bravery!

Yingxiao brushed off the dust on his face as usual. If you look closely, there was a sneer of contempt at the corner of his mouth, but when he turned around, he saw the blown-off flagpole, and most of it was buried in mud. The babbling sun military flag, his face changed at that moment, annoyance mixed with anger, in Chutian's view, it was as angry and sad as his family's ancestral grave being dug up,

There was a cold light in Yingxiao's eyes, and he said to a staff officer who ran over: "Convey my order, the regiment field artillery battalion, immediately lock the coordinates of the position of the US artillery positions, and use the most violent artillery fire to dare to offend the Emperor of Japan. Destroy the dignity of the U.S. artillery completely! Also, immediately contact the heavy artillery regiment of the division and regiment, and provide artillery support if necessary!"

The reaction speed of the Japanese artillery was very fast, but within a few minutes, the sound of returning fire was heard behind the position of the 51st Regiment. Groups of artillery flew across the sky, and one part of the US position was immediately plunged into a burst of flames and gunpowder smoke. In the midst of the diffuse, the shelling lasted for 10 minutes, but strangely, the sound of artillery fire from the US artillery was never seen again.

It seems that the bombardment just now was just Chutian and the others who were trying to show off their power. Chutian was surprised and felt useless. Could it be that this American, knowing that he was coming, was here to beat him up?Fortunately, the team members didn't even scratch a piece of skin. If there was a team member who fell under the artillery fire of the U.S. Army, Chu Tian would have suicidal thoughts!

Chu Tian only saw that Colonel Takako showed the so-called bravery and fear of an officer of the Imperial Japanese Army, but he didn't know that Takako was very angry in his heart at this moment.

Ever since the confrontation with the U.S. military in the Calais mountains, Ying Xiao’s wing headquarters has always been located here, not to mention the American cannons, and even a single shot has not been dropped. It’s not that he underestimated the U.S. troops on the opposite side. , Many attacks, only their own wing launched first, the Americans can only passively defend, if it is not for the strict order of the division, it is not allowed to capture the US positions and launch attacks, mainly to kill and injure US soldiers in large numbers.

Colonel Takako believes that with the strength of his own regiment, he can break through the blocking position of the U.S. Fifth Infantry Division on the opposite side. Moreover, it will not take much effort and casualties. Takako has seen through the battles in the past few days. Being able to fight against the mentality of war, hiding behind the fortifications, and being beaten passively, that is, the artillery fire is more powerful, but what is the use?

No matter how good the equipment is, it needs brave soldiers to operate it. Just yesterday afternoon, Yingxiao saw the most incredible scene since he joined the imperial army. He sent two squadrons to attack the opposite US military positions , The soldiers of the imperial army just started to charge, and the American artillery fire came overwhelmingly, but most of the artillery fell on their own positions, blowing up the American soldiers, crying ghosts and howling wolves! [

As a result, the casualties of the soldiers of the two squadrons of the imperial army were only more than forty people, but in the binoculars, he saw hundreds of corpses carried down by the US army, not including the wounded. Ying Xiao couldn't believe that there would be such a thing. Bizarre things happened, and as a result, he despised the combat effectiveness of American soldiers to the extreme.

Therefore, his regiment headquarters stood arrogantly in front of the U.S. military positions, and it has always been safe. After receiving the order from the division commander, Takako’s plan was to organize a large-scale attack and let Captain Fujino see Look, the combat effectiveness of the 51st Regiment, of course, is not the main purpose. What I want to achieve is to convey the brave image of myself and the [-]st Regiment to the military headquarters through Captain Fujino's mouth and eyes.

But today, the uncharacteristically courageous U.S. artillerymen dared to fight back. They boldly shelled the regiment headquarters and blew up the regiment flag, which was regarded as honor and life by the Imperial Army. , Humiliated in front of the captain of the imperial envoy of the military department, how can he swallow this breath?The place must be found!Moreover, let the Americans know that they have to pay a heavy price for their knowledge!

Entering the regiment headquarters, Yingxiao gave a murderous order: "The regiment's field artillery battalion covers the artillery fire, the first battalion and the second battalion attack, and take down the opposite US position. Then, all the troops withdraw. Dead Americans, pay the price!"

Then, with a confident smile on his face, he said to Chu Tian: "Mr. Fujino, you can observe at the regiment headquarters and see how our soldiers of the Imperial Japanese Army beat the American soldiers on the opposite side and fled. Disastrous! My two brigades will capture the US positions within an hour and a half!"

Chutian also saw that this little devil, Dazuo, lost face in front of him, and became angry from embarrassment. Of course, he hoped that the Japanese and Americans would fight to the death, so Chutian said, "Your Excellency, I I look forward to the brave performance of our soldiers of the Imperial Japanese Army!"
