Age of Rebirth

The U.S. Army opposite the 18st Regiment of the [-]rd Division of the Japanese Army is the No.[-] Infantry Regiment of the [-]th Infantry Division. It confronted the Japanese army for a few days. Facing the fierce Japanese attack, although it paid a lot of casualties, Fortunately, the position is still in the hands of the US military.

Colonel Albert, the head of the regiment, felt like a mirror in his heart. The Japanese commander on the opposite side was playing tricks. It should be lost. The reason why it has been supported until now is that the Japanese do not want to fight it down immediately.

Colonel Albert also knew that the [-]th Infantry Division he was in was originally the commander-in-chief of MacArthur to defend Manila. Later, because of the tight fighting in the Calais Mountains, he had to be transferred to the battlefield. It was said at the combat meeting, "Our troops' blockade in the Calais Mountains is only symbolic. Therefore, all the troops only need to repel the Japanese attack, and they are never allowed to take the initiative to attack. Conserve their strength and use it to defend Manila!"

Colonel Albert, of course understands what the division commander means. After a few days, the troops will withdraw to Manila. Although they will eventually face the Japanese attack, it will be a matter of the future after all. He believes that the division commander will make such a deployment. It is groundless, a few years ago, the division commander was the aide-de-camp of Commander-in-Chief MacArthur, and the personal relationship between the two is quite good.

Therefore, Colonel Albert strictly abides by the command of the division commander. As long as the Japanese do not take the initiative to attack, he will never order his subordinates to fire the first shot. Even if the Japanese attack, they will be repelled. Although the Japanese attack , Several times a day, but after all, the position is still in their own hands. Of course, the casualties of the troops are unavoidable, passive defense.Almost waiting to be beaten! [

After fighting against the Japanese army on the opposite side several times, Colonel Albert found that the Japanese seemed to have reached a tacit understanding with him and attacked to a certain position.Will voluntarily evacuate.Of course, I wouldn't be so stupid as to take the opportunity to chase after him, that's the best.After a few days, we will withdraw to Manila.

Originally thought that the confrontation would continue like this, but what happened yesterday made Colonel Albert.Wanting to cry, those blind artillerymen even smashed their cannons on their own positions. However, the shelling for thirty minutes caused more casualties to the troops than fighting the Japanese army for several days. After the shelling stopped, Looking at the dead and wounded soldiers everywhere, there are pits everywhere.A mess of fortifications.

Colonel Albert, madly, called the division commander, Brigadier General Whiteman, and tearfully accused the artillery of the evil deeds, which was a crime.A disgrace to the US military!We must severely punish those bastards of the artillery, and give our soldiers an explanation!

But next, what Mr. Whiteman said made Captain Albert speechless.The division commander yelled furiously on the phone: "What! Severely punish the artillery? Thank you for being able to say it. Do you know that it was your subordinate who reported the wrong position and coordinates, and the artillery fell on his own position. Don't quibble. I have already verified it myself, do you want to show you the artillery records!"

Putting down the phone, Colonel Albert almost vomited blood from anger. He personally took the military judge and several military policemen, armed with guns. He has already thought about these bastards, and they will be shot on the spot, and there will be no mercy!

However, to the disappointment of Colonel Albert, those foolish bastards in the artillery observation team had been blown up to their bones by their own cannons, and, according to the descriptions of the surviving soldiers, their position was the first to fall. The place where the cannon was shot, an ironic and sad ending.

After repeated battles and the erroneous bombing of its own artillery, the No.18 Regiment had already lost about a quarter of its strength. Captain Albert did not even dare to attack the Japanese army on the opposite side. Machine guns, as long as one shuttle sweeps over, the opposite side is swaying, and the Japanese soldiers who don't know the concealment, keep falling down a large area, the regiment belongs to the artillery battalion, and there are more than [-] artillery pieces. The Japanese headquarters of the Sun Banner immediately became a pile of ruins!

However, Commander Albert didn't want to fight and didn't dare to fight. He absolutely believed that as long as he destroyed the headquarters of the Japanese army on the opposite side, it would bring disaster to his own regiment. Thinking about the ferocity and madness of the Japanese soldiers, one would shudder .

But today it can't be done, the Japanese headquarters must be destroyed, because Lieutenant General Stilwell, in the [-]th Infantry Division, and, very unfortunately, in his own regiment's position, this unkind "Crazy Cowboy General," After the forward position, one can see the arrogant, dazzling and eye-catching Japanese army flag at a glance.

It wasn't Stilwell who observed it deliberately, but Colonel Takako, who didn't intend to hide it at all. Stilwell's face was ashen, he couldn't understand, such a short distance, such an obvious target, and, it can be clearly judged, That is at least a regiment-level headquarters of the Japanese army. Why did the No.18 regiment allow the Japanese headquarters and military flag to remain until today?

Stilwell put down the binoculars, looked at Captain Albert with fiery eyes, and asked sharply: "Captain Albert, did the Japanese army headquarters with the military flag appear suddenly? I'm afraid not, then you Why allow the enemy's command headquarters to exist to this day, such an obvious target, not to be destroyed? I need a reasonable explanation?"

explain what!Could it be that Commander Albert should tell this commanding officer who is notoriously stubborn, all the words of the division commander and the little girl in his heart?Why don't you just draw a gun and kill yourself?

Although Lieutenant General Stilwell was not favored by Commander-in-Chief MacArthur, and it is well known that he was excluded, but after all, he is his highest superior, and it is not a problem to win a regiment commander. Therefore, Colonel Albert, It was very embarrassing, he hesitated and ambiguously couldn't express the complete meaning.

Seeing Albert's bear-like appearance, Stilwell exploded with anger, and shouted, "That's enough, I don't need to quibble, remember, you are a soldier, a soldier of the United States of America, show your courage, I will Order, immediately use artillery to destroy the Japanese headquarters on the opposite side!"

Seeing Commander Stilwell with a black line on his face, Captain Albert didn't dare to neglect, and hurriedly called the artillery battalion of the regiment to convey Stilwell's orders. The order was discounted, and he ordered the artillery battalion commander to fire only one shot for each artillery, and the main purpose was to knock down the Japanese army flag.

Since Commander Stilwell finds the Japanese military flag not pleasing to the eye, he should destroy it. The technology of the American artillery is not bad. More than 51 rounds were fired, and the flagpole of the [-]st regiment was blown down. Colonel Albert didn't care much about how many Japanese soldiers were killed, as long as Commander Stilwell stopped losing his temper, everything would be fine.

I don't know what the officers of the troops belonging to the US Southeast Asia and South Pacific headquarters have been doing in the past few years, whether they are busy eating, drinking and having fun, or making a fortune by trading. I really don't understand some of the Japanese army's situation.

The regiments of the Japanese army who were awarded the flag of the Japanese army all regard the flag of the flag as more important than their lives, because it was awarded by His Majesty the Emperor himself. Inside the regiment, there is a squadron of guard flags, which is specially used to guard the flag of the regiment, and even In order to prevent the alliance flag from falling into the enemy's hands, he did not hesitate to take hundreds of lives. Captain Albert thought that if the flag was blown up, he would be able to hand over the mission. Didn't he know that he really angered the Japanese army on the opposite side? Colonel Takajiro Takajiro, the captain of the alliance.

First, the artillery positions of the U.S. Army were destroyed with artillery firepower. When the U.S. soldiers were still in panic, two full-staffed brigades were dispatched to launch a fierce attack on the No. 18 regiment of the U.S. Army. On the same day, the Japanese artillery also began to shell heavily on the US positions. [

The artillery rained down on the U.S. positions, filled with gunpowder smoke, and the sound of explosions rumbled. Then, thousands of Japanese soldiers pulled apart the skirmishers, holding bright and white bayonets, shouting wildly like a gust of wind, Swooping towards the US position, a fierce positional defensive battle began.

Chu Tian could see that Colonel Ying Xiao was not blindly reckless. This devil officer played very methodically and was an experienced commander. Whether it was the suppression of artillery fire, the support of heavy machine gun firepower points, or the echelon configuration of the attacking troops , all achieved the best results, and the U.S. military, which lost its artillery cover, was completely suppressed.

It seems that the Japanese army has carried out such an attack many times. The tactical actions and firepower coordination are very skillful. The battle is over in one hour and 10 minutes. Colonel Takako has proved his self-confidence. A position was captured, but the casualties of the Japanese soldiers were not large.

Chutian saw in the high-powered artillery team that the Japanese troops had withdrawn and were still holding dozens of prisoners. Chutian was very surprised. The combat effectiveness, combat awareness and firepower configuration displayed by the American soldiers were better than what he imagined. Even weaker, this kind of surprise was undisguised on Chu Tian's face. Of course, this kind of surprise was for Colonel Takakojiro to see.

Colonel Ying Xiao smiled and stroked his chin proudly. He was very concerned about the surprise on Chu Tian's face. The rhythm of the battle was controlled by himself. The American troops on the opposite side were just a foil to show his ability. The flag was blown off, and the scale of the battle was more than doubled. However, it would be good to teach the Americans a profound lesson.

The smoke from the battlefield cleared, and Chu Tian hadn't left the high-power artillery mirror. He wanted to see how the American army reacted after being attacked, so he constantly adjusted the angle and direction of the artillery mirror.

Suddenly, Chutian's body trembled, and the muscles all over his body tensed up, just like a leopard that found its prey. Even Colonel Takakojiro felt the strangeness of Chutian, and looked at Chutian in surprise, as if he was a different person.
