Age of Rebirth

"Boom! Boom! Boom!" The artillery shells flew from behind the Japanese positions, and continuously landed in the area in front of the Japanese positions. However, because the tanks and infantry attacked by the independent division were very scattered, the threat posed by the Japanese artillery shells was almost negligible. Of course, this is also related to the ongoing test firing of the Japanese artillery. When the next round of shells falls, it will definitely pose a great threat.

However, the Japanese artillery obviously did not have such an opportunity. The tanks of the independent division immediately turned around and retreated. After a few shots from the army artillery, it easily repelled the attack of dozens of tanks. There was a burst of cheers on the Japanese position, and the morale of the Japanese soldiers immediately rose.

However, Major General Katayama, who has been observing the situation on the battlefield, has been sinking in his heart. As a general who has seen big scenes, he knows very well that the shelling of the Light Artillery Regiment is just a test fire, and cannot cause any damage to the independent division's attacking troops. The loss, but the Chinese people retreated immediately. Major General Katayama felt that something was wrong, and immediately ordered: "Order the artillery wing to move the position immediately. This is a conspiracy by the Chinese people!" "

Hearing the sound of the Japanese artillery, a sneer appeared on the corner of Han Tie's mouth, "Finally played the trump card!" He thought to himself, "The artillery observation post determines the specific position of the Japanese artillery position, and the communication staff will send the position coordinates of the Japanese artillery position to , Immediately report to the Air Force Qingdao Ground Air Commander!" Han Tie issued several orders one after another, and a few minutes later, the three bomber regiments of the Independent Division Air Force, which was flying from the direction of the Korean Peninsula, received the Qingdao Ground Air Force Commander's order.

The huge roar of the bomber once again came to the sky above the Japanese army, on the fuselage.The unique military emblem of the Air Force of the Independent Division is exceptionally clear under the sunshine of June in the Liaodong Peninsula. Major General Katayama is finally desperate. In the face of absolute strength, any strategy is powerless, not to mention that he is not a wise commander. Officer, by fate.Major General Katayama sighed, and sat numbly in the corner of the shelter, waiting for the earth-shaking explosion.

It was another round of ferocious bombing. The orders received by the three bomber regiments were .After the bombing is over, return to the Shandong Peninsula Field Airport immediately.so.The bombs they carried had to be dropped on the Japanese positions. The Japanese soldiers who were screaming loudly just now to repel the attack of the independent division troops were immediately plunged into a steel storm. Dirt and gravel.The body fragments of Japanese soldiers and members of the Manchurian Volunteer Team enveloped the Japanese positions.

The bombing time this time was slightly shorter, only about 10 minutes, but it caused more casualties to the Japanese army.It is still huge, especially the Japanese artillery position, which exposed its position, is the key bombing target. The bombers threw all the bombs and lined up in a neat formation. Unrecognizable!

"Commander, your move is shady enough, let the bomber shoot back! It is estimated that there are not many living people left in the little devil's position, so you can stand such a toss!" Major General Jiang Xianliang, the commander of the sixth brigade, said Said yelling on the phone.

Han Tie also had a smile on his face. He was very satisfied with the bombing effect of the bomber fleet, "Jiang Xianliang, have you underestimated the enemy again? According to the previous deployment, this time we will attack across the board. I will give you three hours to go to the Japanese positions!"

"Commander, it won't take three hours, but within two hours, I guarantee you will stand on the Japanese position!" Jiang Xianliang replied confidently.

The huge explosion disappeared, and Major General Katayama, who was already numb, was awakened by the words of the staff officer, "Your Excellency, Acting Commander, the Chinese bombers have withdrawn, are we going to counterattack their attack?"

Major General Katayama stood up abruptly, his eyes gleaming with despair. He knew that there would not be many people left in his troops after the second round of bombing, but retreat had become impossible. Fight to the last man, dedicate your life to His Majesty the Emperor and the Empire of Japan!

"Convey my order to immediately repair the fortifications. All members of the Manchuria Volunteer Team must blow up the attacking independent division tanks! If there is any one who flinches, the officers of the department have the right to execute the execution immediately!" Major General Katayama said fiercely, unable to stand It is still possible to stay on the defensive line and fight to the death.

On the battlefield, amidst the yelling of the Japanese officers and the threat of black hole muzzles, the members of the Manchurian Volunteer Squad, covered in explosives and grenades, lay numbly in the hot trenches, like walking corpses. They knew clearly own destiny.

The roar of the tanks sounded again, and all the remaining Japanese soldiers on the battlefield became highly nervous. They knew better in their hearts that the jade was broken on the battlefield, which was the doomed ending. A few Chinese soldiers, soldiers who have already embraced the mortal heart, the fighting power they unleashed is often very terrifying!

In the shelter, Major General Katayama put on a helmet, held a pistol in his hand, and a few grenades on his body. He was also ready to fight in person, and if necessary, he would die with the soldiers of the Independent Division. I had this determination and courage!

When Major General Katayama came out of the shelter with a few guards, the Japanese soldiers on the ground saw a scene that terrified them. The tanks of the Independent Division drove to their positions and stopped suddenly. The attacking infantry began to set up artillery positions leisurely. There were hundreds of mortars familiar to Japanese soldiers. The black muzzles were tilted and pointed towards the sky.

The soldiers of the Kwantung Army who also fought on the battlefield, how can they not know how much of a threat these hundreds of mortars are to the battlefield, without the commander giving an order, the light and heavy machine gunners gritted their teeth and fired fiercely. When the trigger was triggered, the bullets rained down, but they were helpless against the artillery positions of the independent division covered by tanks. In addition, the range was too long, and the bullets could not hit those mortars at all.

Including Han Tie, no one thought that Jiang Xianliang, the brigade commander of the Sixth Brigade, was sitting in a tank, holding a walkie-talkie, observing the Japanese army's positions intently, seeing the Japanese army's light and heavy machine guns firing desperately, with a twitch at the corner of his mouth. With a sneer of contempt, Jiang Xianliang was not taking risks. He knew very well that after two rounds of bombing, the Japanese army's artillery positions were completely destroyed, and the Japanese army had no weapons that could threaten the tanks.

Of course, all of this was hidden from Han Tie. Jiang Xianliang sternly warned his chief of staff and the staff of the brigade headquarters. If anyone leaked the fact that he went to the front and personally directed the shelling, he would definitely look good. The specific measures Yes, sent to the logistics department to carry the shell box.

"Are the mortars ready?" Jiang Xianliang looked at the Japanese positions and asked.

"Report to the brigade commander, everything is ready!" The mortar commander replied.

"Fire!" Jiang Xianliang ordered in a low voice.

A group of artillery shells, with the screaming sound of tearing the air, flew towards the Japanese army's position like a black old bird, "Boom! Boom! Boom!" The Japanese army's position was once again shrouded in gunpowder smoke and fire. Of course, it is not as heavy as the heavy aerial bombs, but it is superior in density, and the impact points are one after another. Afterwards, dozens of small-caliber artillery also joined the ranks of shelling. sunshine.

Major General Katayama led a few guards, and as soon as he entered the position, he caught up with the overwhelming mortar shells flying over. There were no dead spots, covering all directions, "Boom! Boom!" A few mortar shells shot in front of Major General Katayama. Explosion, shattered shrapnel, whistling and flying from all directions, all cut into his body, killing him in an instant, and fell to the ground. Major General Katayama stared blankly with his lifeless eyes, Liaodong Peninsula The June sky, surrounded by the bloody corpses of the guards.

This time the shelling, the punishment embodies the basic principles followed by the independent division troops, try to give full play to the advantage of firepower, Jiang Xianliang did not mean to stop at nothing, he can kill all the little devils on the battlefield with shells, and he will not foolishly order the soldiers to go Desperately, hundreds of mortars fired non-stop for more than 40 minutes, tens of thousands of shells fell, and the Japanese positions were no longer visible and were razed to the ground.

The two regiments of the Sixth Brigade did not encounter any resistance in their subsequent attack. The Japanese soldiers on the ground, including the members of the Manchurian Volunteer Squad, were almost killed, but Jiang Xianliang did not dare to be careless. Huang Wanshan, the fourth The lesson of the brigade was right in front of him, and he ordered the troops, "After rushing to the Japanese army's position, whenever you see the corpse of a little devil, no matter what kind of clothes you are wearing, no matter whether you are still breathing, don't come close, and give me a make-up. Shuttle bullets, just in case!"

Jiang Xianliang's order was absolutely correct. Although after two rounds of bombing and one round of shelling, the Japanese soldiers and members of the Manchurian Volunteer Team on the battlefield were almost dead, but a very small part survived, but they were all seriously injured, not missing. Arms and legs are short, but blood is bleeding all over the body, dying. Under such fierce firepower, it is impossible to be unscathed. Because of this, he is the most dangerous enemy.

Those Japanese soldiers who were seriously injured climbed up to the corpses of the members of the Manchuria Volunteer Team, holding the fuse in their hands. The members of the Manchuria Volunteer Team who were still alive were even more so. perish together!

However, Jiang Xianliang's order did not give these bastards a chance, and the soldiers of the Independent Division rushed to the Japanese positions. First, there was a burst of submachine gun bullets, and then, on the calm battlefield, there were scattered explosions again.

Hearing the sound of the explosion, Jiang Xianliang, who was sitting in the tank, grinned and was still afraid for a while. If there were no previous lessons from the Fourth Brigade, the commander repeatedly reminded that just occupying the Japanese positions would not know how many soldiers would fall on the ground. In the hands of these dying little devils.

The explosion finally stopped. Jiang Xianliang, who received the report, breathed a sigh of relief, picked up the walkie-talkie, "Report to the commander, the Sixth Brigade has occupied the Japanese positions!"
