Age of Rebirth

Major General Battelle, the commander of the Armored Forces of the Independent Division, observed the battlefield situation and found a problem. According to the attack speed of the fourth and sixth brigades of the second attack wave, the battle at the breakthrough should be widened to about five kilometers at this time. However, the attack positions of the two tank brigades have not changed much, which means that the battle in the first position of the Japanese army has fallen into a stalemate.

Battelle retracted his body and picked up the communicator, "Fourth Brigade, Sixth Brigade, why don't you quickly expand the breakthrough and report your situation?

In the earphones, Major General Hao Mengting, the commander of the Fourth Tank Brigade, heard a distraught voice, "Reporting to the commander, the little devil is too fucking inhumane. Almost all the firepower points and shelters are built in private houses to cooperate with our attack. The infantry brothers said that there are residents in the houses, and we dare not fire, we can only gnaw a little bit, my brigade has lost sixteen tanks, commander, let's use the mouse!"

Battelle frowned, and ordered: "The third and sixth brigades, temporarily stop fighting to widen the breakthrough, consolidate the existing positions, and wait for orders!"

Then, he immediately called the Hong Kong Campaign Headquarters, "Master, I'm Battelle, and I have an important report!" [

After listening to Battelle's report, Tang Qiuli frowned greatly. This was an unexpected situation. Neither Yu Deshui's intelligence department nor Shanhu who sneaked into Hong Kong had any detailed information about it. It was already expected. Hong Kong's It is impossible for the Japanese army not to take strict precautions, but they did not expect that the Japanese would take Hong Kong citizens as hostages.

If these factors are not taken into account, with the artillery fire of the independent division, no matter how many tricks the Japanese army can play, they will not be able to support even an hour under the overwhelming artillery fire. However, Tang Qiuli has to be scruples. The citizens of Hong Kong were buried together with tens of thousands of Japanese soldiers. The battle was obviously impossible according to the original style of play.

After thinking nervously for a while, Tang Qiuli spoke directly to Battelle, "Battelle, change tactics. The tank troops leave a small force and defend the breakthrough. In such a battle, tanks can't exert their power!"

Then he said to Chief of Staff Zhao Yuhe: "Yuhe, order Tian Shangxi, the troops of the Guangzhou Garrison, to use a brigade of troops to clear the Japanese troops on the first position. Come down, you can divide the encirclement first, and then eat it slowly, the Japanese army on the outskirts of the New Territories will not have reinforcements, we and these bastards can afford it!"

"Order the other troops in the Guangzhou Garrison to continue to attack in depth. After breaking through a Japanese position, they will be dealt with in this way. This is the case with the first position. Next, they will encounter the same difficulties. Order the first Do not hesitate to attack the troops of the wave assault. The task of breaking through the outer positions of the Japanese army and clearing out the remnants of the enemy will be handed over to the follow-up troops.

Tang Qiuli had the capital to encircle and then wipe out the Japanese troops on the outer defensive positions of Hong Kong. In this battle of Hong Kong, ten infantry brigades and more than 15 troops were used. No matter in which direction, they formed an absolutely superior force. .

The order was issued to each unit, and Battelle ordered: "The fourth and sixth brigades, each retain a regiment of troops to defend the breakthrough, and the rest of the regiments will advance to the Japanese defense and attack in depth!"

The Japanese army's second defensive position also failed to withstand the armored torrent tactics commanded by Battelle. Two breakthroughs about two kilometers wide were quickly opened up, and the troops who attacked the arrows were always like a whirlwind, without stopping at all. , passed through the Japanese positions, and rushed towards the third Japanese position. Behind them were fierce gunshots and explosions.

Immediately afterward, a follow-up brigade of the Guangzhou Garrison took medicine according to the prescription. First, they divided and surrounded them, and then slowly gnawed at them. The troops deployed by the Japanese army on the front line of the New Territories, totaling more than 3000 people, were broken through two positions one after another. After that, more than [-] Japanese soldiers were divided and surrounded in two positions, and the battle was still going on fiercely. It was only a matter of time before these Japanese troops were eliminated!

After the first position was lost, the head of the No.30 Seventh Division of the Japanese Army and Lieutenant General Paul Gavin, the Governor of Hong Kong, received a call from the commander of the forward force, Major General Changjiang Village of the No.20 Third Brigade. Afterwards, Lieutenant General Bao Li was startled first, and then flew into a rage. On the phone, he scolded Major General Jiangcun.

It's no wonder that Lieutenant General Pauli was so angry. It had been 10 minutes since the first position was lost, and that damned Jiangcun called. Major General of the Imperial Army, what are you doing?

On the other end of the phone, the head of the Jiangcun brigade was also very angry. His brigade headquarters was set up on the second line of defense. When he heard the sound of gunfire coming from the direction of the first line of defense, which was more than ten kilometers away , he immediately called the commander of the forward force, Captain Takeshita.

However, Colonel Takeshita's report was chaotic, and his voice was full of panic: "Your Excellency, Commander of the Brigade, our regiment's frontal position was suddenly attacked by several tanks from the Independent Division. The troops have not yet reacted. At that time, the tanks of the Chinese had already appeared in front of our eyes, and there were tanks everywhere, and all the brigades of our regiment were caught in a fierce battle, and the specific battle situation is unknown!"

Major General Jiangcun, like Lieutenant General Pauli, immediately exploded, "Baga! As a soldier of the Great Japanese Empire, facing the war, how can you be so flustered? In your hand, you have a regiment and two subordinates. There are more than 6000 troops in the brigade, how could it be hit by the Chinese troops all of a sudden? What is your forward observation post for? Didn’t you find out the movements of the Chinese troops in advance?”

A series of questions, like cannonballs, were thrown at poor Chief Takeshita. Major General Jiangcun was not satisfied, and was about to continue scolding, when he heard Colonel Takeshita panicked on the phone: "Your Excellency, the brigade commander, the tank of the Chinese, It's already arrived at the door of my command post." Immediately, there was a burst of intense gunfire, and then the phone call stopped abruptly, and there was no more movement.

As the direction of the New Territories, major general Jiangcun has the right to mobilize all the troops facing the defense position of the Guangzhou Garrison of the Independent Division. Regaining the responsibility, he immediately organized the second-line troops to counterattack. He picked up the phone and was about to issue an order when the tank troops of the independent division had already rushed in front of him.

This time, let alone regaining the first-line positions, the position he was in immediately fell into a fierce battle. He had no choice but to report the battle situation to Lieutenant General Pauli, and as expected, he was overwhelmed. The swearing, you can't escape, the official ranks crushed people, Jiangcun Major General can only listen, finally, the lieutenant general finished spraying the dung.

Major General Jiangcun was about to report his plan when a staff officer stumbled in and shouted, "Your Excellency, Brigade Commander, the situation is not good. Our position has been breached by the tank troops of the Independent Division. Fierce battles are happening everywhere. , the enemy army has surrounded them!"

"Haney?" Major General Jiangcun stared at the unbelievable bull's-eye, with a dull expression on his face. He was not having a nightmare. In less than an hour and a half, the two positions held by more than 1 imperial troops were covered with paper. Similarly, it was broken through by the troops of the Independent Division, how could it be possible? [

However, the more and more intense gunshots outside reminded him that this is a fact of life, "Your Excellency, Division Chief! Your Excellency, Division Commander!" Major General Jiangcun shouted into the phone, but there was no voice in the phone receiver. Echo, only the sound of "squeak" electricity, and then the sound of electricity disappeared. Major General Jiangcun knew in his heart that he had no way to evacuate here. The phone line was cut off by Chinese soldiers, which meant that he was surrounded!

Lieutenant General Baoli didn't have much time to waste on the Jiangcun brigade. In more than an hour, the independent division even broke through the two lines of defense carefully designed by him. It was terrible. Such a terrifying attack power, the first Can the three lines of defense become the last one to stop the Chinese devil Tang Qiuli's troops from breaking into the barriers of the New Territories and downtown Kowloon?

The commander of the third line of defense, the commander of the Yokota detachment of the Marine Corps, the headquarters of Major General Yokota Shintomo, the Yokota detachment, is a brigade-level organization, with three Marine Corps wings under its jurisdiction, with a strength of more than 7000 people , For the Yokota Detachment, Lieutenant General Pauli can't be reprimanded and scolded as he treats his subordinates, although in name, the Yokota Detachment is his No. 30 Seventh Division battle order.

However, Lieutenant General Pauli knew very well that Rear Admiral Yokota might not listen to what he said. They belonged to different systems. The navy and the army had always been at odds. The Yokota detachment was placed by his side to check and balance himself. Originally, when Lieutenant General Pauly deployed Hong Kong defense, he used the Marine Corps' strong combat effectiveness as an excuse to put the Yokota detachment on the first line of defense facing Guangzhou.

My own intentions can be described as hard work, that is, to use the naval troops to take the lead. Once the troops of the independent division come over, my troops can still have a buffer time, but Major General Yokota is not an easy guy to deal with. A telegram , directly stabbed to the Ministry of the Navy, and as a result, the General Staff of the base camp came to order, not only a violent training, but also clearly pointed out that the Navy had already filed a petition in front of His Majesty the Emperor, saying that he took the opportunity to eradicate alien.

The conscience of heaven and earth, Lieutenant General Pauli was almost wronged to death. After the fight, that new friend of Yokota looked arrogant when he saw him. Lieutenant General Baoli grabbed the phone and said very politely: "Is it General Yokota? , I am the head of the Poly Division, and I have an important enemy report!"
