Age of Rebirth

At night, the city of Hong Kong is full of fierce gunfire, and clusters of flames rise from time to time among the high-rise buildings in the city. Looking from Tang Qiuli's current position, it is a spectacular scene of fierce battle at night. However, according to The brigades reported that the progress of the fighting was relatively slow.

On the Hong Kong battlefield, the troops invested by the independent division have reached the strength of more than 16 people in ten brigades. Compared with the strength of the Japanese army, the ratio exceeds five to one, and it has already occupied the absolute initiative on the battlefield.

Based on this, division commander Tang Qiuli issued the following order to all participating troops, "The attacking troops, in view of the Japanese guards, have been divided and surrounded, and the surrounding areas are in a relatively isolated state. The Hong Kong campaign has entered the stage of urban street fighting. In order to prevent troops In the event of unnecessary heavy casualties, as well as civilian casualties, the troops can slow down the pace of attack and do not rush to capture the existing barricade positions of the Japanese army. They should give full play to the firepower of the infantry and obtain the greatest results with the smallest casualties. Division Commander Tang Qiuli. "

The adjustment of this deployment is very timely and very necessary. The so-called "beasts are still fighting," the Japanese are crazy in their bones, and they don't put down their weapons and surrender just because they are surrounded. However, Tang Qiuli would find it difficult to accept the heavy casualties. There was no need to be so reckless. The troops had plenty of time to kill all the Japanese troops bit by bit.

Slowing down the rhythm of the attack also allowed the brigade commanders of each brigade to calm down and use the best tactics and the least cost of casualties to achieve the result of annihilating the Japanese defense forces. Besides, Tang Qiuli still has a hole card, so It was Lieutenant General Pauli Gavin, the captured commander of the No.30 Seventh Division of the Japanese Army. If he could give the order for the Japanese army to surrender, Tang Qiuli would definitely not. Japanese barricades. [

He is waiting for the news of Shui and Shen Jun.Reinforcement from the Japanese army outside was approaching, and the Japanese army inside could rely on it for a long time. Tang Qiuli had a lot of time to slowly consume the remaining tens of thousands of Japanese No. 30 Seventh Division, starting from Pauli Gavin, an outlier.More than 3 subordinates were left behind.Judging from his hastily fleeing with his treasures in his hands, this guy is a life-saving guy. Yu Deshui and Shen Jun have a great chance of success.This is very good, although it is not a bloodless occupation of Hong Kong, it also saves the effort behind!

When the division commander's order was issued to each unit, it was directly under Major General Liu Hongzhang, the commander of the First Brigade of the Corps.With fire-breathing eyes, he was staring at a building in front of him. It was the largest and most stubborn barricade of the Japanese army on the route of the First Brigade. If there were only a few hundred Japanese soldiers inside, Liu Hongzhang would not have Ignore it.

He carried a battalion of infantry, plus a battalion of brigade guards, with bazookas and recoil cannons.They are all sharp weapons for attacking fortifications, killers in street warfare fortifications, and two battalions with more than 800 troops. It doesn't take much effort to gnaw down this fortress!

But troops and firepower.Liu Hongzhang, who has an absolute advantage, can no longer fight here, and there is only one reason.In this building, there are thousands of Hong Kong citizens.A bombardment, of course, can blow up the little devils to the sky, but the residents inside are also unlucky. Looking at the building where every door is spewing flames, and looking at the open ground in front of the building, there are more than [-] soldiers With the bloody corpse, Liu Hongzhang almost ran away.

The location of this building is really fucked up. It happens to be on the route of the first brigade and most of the troops. Of course, the troops can detour, change the direction, and continue to intersperse, but that will delay more than two hours. He, Liu Hongzhang, and the first brigade, brothers No. [-], [-], couldn't afford to lose this man if he couldn't fulfill the orders of the division headquarters and couldn't reach the designated area on time.

After staring at the fortifications of the Japanese army for a while, Liu Hongzhang seemed to suddenly think of something, and called out Major General Chu Ziye, the commander of the Fourth Brigade, in the walkie-talkie, but he shouted loudly, "I said Chu Da Boy, how is the speed of your brigade interspersed? Have you encountered any difficulties, do you need me to reinforce it? They are all brothers and sisters, if you have difficulties, just speak up, you are welcome!"

What Liu Hongzhang said was ironic. He wanted to find out the speed of progress of the Fourth Brigade, but it was not easy to ask clearly. The entire twelve brigades directly under the Corps were transferred out of the first brigade and the fourth brigade to participate in the Hong Kong In the battle, he didn't want to be left behind by Chu Ziye's fourth brigade, otherwise, with the mouth of big man Chu, he wouldn't kill himself!

As for the three brigades of the Sulu Mobile Corps and the brigades of the Guangzhou Garrison, Liu Hongzhang didn't care too much about them. The directions of attack and penetration are different, and the speed of progress has little to do with him. In this direction, Only my first brigade and Chu Ziye's fourth brigade, if you don't compete with him, who will you compete with?

Chu Ziye's brain reacted quite quickly. As soon as Liu Hongzhang said a few words, he roughly guessed what it meant. He laughed a few times and replied slowly: "I said Liu Da Don't talk about it with me. It doesn't matter where you choke when you encounter a difficult bone. You are right, brother, brother. I will send a telegram to the division commander immediately, requesting to expand the scope of the fourth brigade's mission , I, Chu Ziye, took care of the interspersed area originally planned by your first brigade, and our brothers, who is with whom, do you think so?"

After finishing speaking, without waiting for Liu Hongzhang to reply, he cut off the contact with a smug face. Liu Hongzhang was so angry that he had nowhere to say it, and shouted loudly: "You two battalion commanders, come here!" The commander and the battalion commander of the guard battalion hurried over, "Brigade commander, what order do you have?"

Liu Hongzhang pointed to the Japanese stronghold that was still spewing flames and looked more arrogant in the night, with a gloomy face, he said: "Listen to me, take out four platoons of troops, and make another strong attack to organize all the troops. Special shooters, take each floor as a unit, one person is responsible for one opening, kill the firepower of the little devil, if you can't move the gun, let's use the gun, as long as you can rush to the bottom of the building, it will be fine, that is the dead end of the little devil's shooting, and then, Then attack the interior of the building and compete floor by floor, hurry up and prepare! Wait for my order, and then start the storm!"

The troops began to get busy. More than 100 special shooters arrived at the Japanese stronghold to find the shooting position. The troops preparing for the storm were already lying behind the cover, and the light and heavy machine guns responsible for the fire cover, the black muzzle, aimed at the building, all All the people in the army were staring at the brigade commander. Liu Hongzhang was gearing up for it. He had already made up his mind to take down this thorn in his side with more than a hundred casualties!

At this moment, Colonel Ye Xinwen, the chief of staff of the brigade, hurried over, "Brigade commander, don't start to act yet, the division commander urgently calls, and all units should immediately adjust their battle deployment!"

Liu Hongzhang read the telegram quickly, slapped his thigh, and said to Ye Xinwen: "Old Ye, the order from the master is really timely. That's it, don't worry about not completing the task, little devil, I have to simmer slowly, put you You bastard, it must be overcooked!"

Then, he shouted again: "Stop the action, the special shooters continue to block the firepower of the Japanese army, as long as the little devil shows up, I will knock him out, and the other troops will retreat out of the firepower of the little devil, and surround me!"

At this time, Liu Hongzhang's emotions had calmed down. Since the division commander had no order, he had to complete the task of dividing up and surrounding the little devils according to the stipulated time, so it was easy to handle. He said to Ye Xinwen: "Chief of Staff, order the interspersed troops behind , bypass this stronghold, and continue to carry out interspersed missions, you can take command from the front, I will take the guard battalion and the third battalion of the first regiment, and stay here, with these hundreds of little devils, it will be exhausted to the end!"

Ye Xinwen took a few guards and hurriedly disappeared at the corner of the building area. After the most aggressive Japanese firepower points were knocked out by the special shooters of the first brigade, the Japanese soldiers learned to behave and quietly hid in the blind spot. , As long as the troops of the independent division do not attack, they will not let go of a single shot, and they are determined to spend with Liu Hongzhang.

The gunshots fell silent, and the pitch-black building was so dark that there was no light at all. Indistinctly, we could hear the sobbing of women, and the crying of children with their mouths covered with all their strength. Compared with the sound, it is more depressing and irritating!

Liu Hongzhang frowned and observed for a while. No matter how he observed, he was not absolutely sure that he could capture the building with hundreds of small troops without causing harm to the residents in the building or causing heavy casualties to the troops. In the building where the devils were guarding, the command of the division commander did not urge the troops to attack as soon as possible, but I was wasted here, there was nothing I could do, and it was not a problem! [

He called over to a soldier from the infiltration unit of the Guangzhou Police District who was in charge of guiding the road, and asked, "Do you know the basic structure of this building? There are no secret passages or sewers, which can lead directly to the inside of the building?"

This soldier of the local army is obviously rarely seen in normal times. He is an officer at the level of a major general, and he personally leads the team. Fighting in the rain of guns, he looked very nervous, shook his head, and replied: "Mukki!" I'm not here, benevolence!"

Liu Hongzhang had two big heads, and he couldn't understand what he was saying. However, he understood what the soldier meant when he shook his head. He waved his hand and told the soldier to retreat to a safe place, the open space in front of the building. On the ground, the corpses of the fallen soldiers, maintaining their forward posture, fell on the charging road, which stimulated Liu Hongzhang's heart with bursts of severe pain, and the blood vessels on his temples "bouncing" and throbbing!

As long as you can pass through the open area in front of the building, avoid the firepower of the little devils, and the troops enter the building, all problems will be solved. In this open area, I have already lost more than 30 soldiers, and I will continue to fight like this Go down, fill in hundreds of lives, and rush into the building without confidence. Gritting his teeth, ask for help. He ordered the communications soldier, "Call me the armored commander, Major General Battelle, and I want to talk to him!"
