Age of Rebirth

The bomber fleet of the Independent Division was divided into two waves, the front and back, and bombed the second line of defense of the Japanese army in Mokpo for 10 minutes. Although it was carrying out the order of the Korean Peninsula Theater Command, it also included the intention of Le Yiqin Inside, it is to attract the Japanese land-based aviation in the direction of Kyushu Island.

The bomber group has already started returning to the flight for more than ten minutes. It stands to reason that this time is the best time for the Japanese fighter group to attack. However, the first and second fighter groups, which were on guard in the direction of Kyushu Island, sent back reports and found nothing. Le Yiqin was not reconciled to any movement of the Japanese fighter jets, and prepared a table of good wine and food. Wouldn't it be boring if the invited guests didn't come?

Not reconciled, Le Yiqin asked the Qingdao Ground Air Commander, but the answer he received also disappointed him, "Qingdao Ground Air Commander reported that so far, radar stations around the country have not found any movement of Japanese combat aircraft taking off! "

"It's so fucking weird. Could it be that the little devil's aviation commander just watched the Mokpo position being bombed and just ignored it? Isn't this the style and practice of the little devil?" Le Yiqin thought to himself, the Japanese army It is a tradition that once a place is surrounded, the troops from the other direction will try their best to rescue it at any cost. Tang Qiuli does not know how many times Tang Qiuli has used this habit to surround the spot for help.

Le Yiqin, who has been through battles for a long time, is well versed in this way, and has a great posture. During the big air battle in the Indochina Peninsula, he used this strategy to implement the tactics of surrounding points in the air many times, and sent the Japanese army and navy air force to the ground. , Killed without leaving a piece of armor, even the teacher Tang Qiuli was full of praise for Le Yiqin.

"Attention all regiments, continue to maintain the current altitude, the first and second regiments on alert, take the brigade as a unit. In a wider airspace, monitor the movement of the little devil fighter group in the direction of Kyushu Island!" Le Yiqin also He became ruthless, and said "wait!" On the ground, the second joint attack of ground and sea artillery fire threw the Japanese army's position into the ground-shaking gunpowder smoke again. Mokpo fought so lively that he couldn't believe it. The little devil's fighter is not coming?

The 10-minute artillery attack caused little casualties to the Japanese army, but the psychological shock to the Japanese soldiers was huge.According to the intensity of the ground and sea artillery bombardment of the Independent Division, the Japanese soldiers found that even if they hid in the solid fortifications, there were quite a few comrades who were absolutely safe and buried in the bombed soil.After being dug out, his face was pale.Nose, mouth, eyes including ears.Red blood was dripping from all of them, and the corpses were placed next to each other, making the Japanese soldiers silent.

If after the Chinese bombers bombed, the artillery fire came again, then the next one was dug out of the soil.It is very likely that it is myself, a feeling of fear and anxiety spread uncontrollably among the Japanese soldiers of the two divisions.Commanders at all levels of the Japanese army vaguely sensed this sign, but they were powerless to do anything about it. The psychological impact cannot be dispelled by violent means.

Therefore, the commanders at all levels of the Japanese army reported the uneasiness they noticed level by level, and finally, they gathered at the division headquarters. Commander He, the muscles on his cheeks couldn't help twitching a few times, his eyes glowed fiercely like wolves.

The head of the Kaga division judged based on his own experience that the joint artillery attack of the independent division on the ground and at sea should not only last for a short period of 10 minutes, but should be longer. From a tactical point of view, the longer the bombardment time Long, the greater the damage caused to the defenders' positions and fortifications, the less the loss of the attacking side will be minimized.

With absolute battlefield superiority and air supremacy, the joint naval and land artillery fire of the Independent Division was only bombarded for 10 to [-] minutes, and it was abnormal. Since it was abnormal, it was the conspiracy of the commander of the Independent Division. As for what it was Lieutenant General Kaga has no way of knowing about the conspiracy.

Originally, Lieutenant General Kaga was still considering whether to order the troops to immediately enter the ground position and prepare to counterattack the attack of the Independent Division troops, but the situation reported by the officers at all levels did not allow him to hesitate any longer. The bombing of hundreds of bombers, followed by fierce and intensive artillery attacks, caused varying degrees of damage to the underground fortifications. For the No. 2 Seventh Division, which has more than 30 people, the loss of troops is negligible.

However, the psychological impact on the imperial soldiers cannot be ignored. If the troops continue to hide in the underground fortifications and endure the seemingly endless bombing and shelling of the independent division troops, this is a kind of psychological torture. How much of the will, the ferocious desperate spirit, is left?

The imperial soldiers of the No.30 Seventh Division need a face-to-face fight to arouse the murderous spirit in the soldiers' hearts. Only the corpses and blood of the Chinese soldiers can arouse the fighting will of the imperial soldiers. The regiments, each leave a brigade of troops to stand by in the underground fortifications, and the other troops immediately enter the ground position, seize all the time, and rush to repair the bombed fortifications in their respective defensive areas!"

"Order the Nakashimano Artillery Regiment to prepare for bombarding the attacking troops of the Independent Division!" The head of the Kaga Division put aside some doubts and hesitation in his heart, finally made a decision and issued an order.

At this time, a staff officer ran over, "Report to the division commander, I received a telegram from Lieutenant General Oshima, the division commander of the Third Division!" It's about time, that idiot Oshima is here to cause trouble!

"The head of the Oshima Division called to ask what action our division will take next. Should we continue to hide in the underground fortifications, or enter the ground position?" Oshima's telegram was very short, just a few sentences, but the question But it was huge, and it involved the defensive tactics of Mokpo's second line of defense. From another point of view, it was tantamount to that arrogant guy in Oshima acknowledging his command, and only the No. 30 Seventh Division followed suit.

It means that Lieutenant General Oshima, who has always been against him, took the initiative to give in and brought the third division into his command sequence. Lieutenant General Kaga was not at all happy. Facing the strength of troops and firepower, he still had absolute air supremacy. Lieutenant General Kaga was not fully sure of the division's attack. He persisted on the second line of defense in Mokpo for a few days. If the 10-minute bombardment was a conspiracy by the commander of the independent division, then the second line of defense He also cannot predict what will happen to the two divisions and more than [-] imperial soldiers.

The head of the Kaga Division was sweating from his forehead. It was obvious that the guy from Oshima was taking his own reply. If he ignored it, the Third Division would probably continue to hide in the underground fortification. Mokpo Second On the first line of defense, there will be a strange scene. Half of the ground position is occupied by his own soldiers, while the other half is empty.

Without more time, Lieutenant General Kaga said to the staff: "Call back the commander of the Oshima division. The infantry regiment of our division will enter the ground except for a brigade that is on standby in the underground fortifications. The position, the attached field artillery unit, has already entered the artillery preparation!"

The reply from the head of the Kaga Division was cautious, and he didn't make any suggestions, but he knew that that guy Oshima would definitely follow suit. The North Korean Garrison Command did not specify its command authority, just in case. . . . . . , Commander Tanaka will put all the responsibilities on himself. Although Lieutenant General Kaga doesn't want to see the unexpected happen, he must be prepared for the unexpected.

The eastern sky has shown the bright color of the dawn, but the faint mist has not completely dissipated. The artillery fire from the independent division's bombardment has gradually faded away. Lieutenant General Kaga is lying in front of the lookout hole in the bunker, holding up the binoculars Observe the situation on the other side.

In the telescopic lens, the mist shrouded everything in obscurity. In the distance, there was the "cracking" sound of metal tracks, and the ground under their feet was trembling slightly. In a few minutes, tanks of the Independent Division, Appearing in the telescopic lens of the commanders at all levels of the Japanese army, in the morning light, the tank's full-bodied body reflected the cold light of the metal, and the black muzzle was raised, rolling over with coercion.

"Hiss!" Lieutenant General Kaga gasped. From his current angle, he could almost see the entire battlefield. There were no less than 150 tanks lined up in attack formation, like a moving metal wall. Behind the tanks, It was groups of infantry, "My Amaterasu! How many tanks did the Chinese send out?" he exclaimed in astonishment.

In the first round of attack, the commander of the independent division took out a brigade tank. Lieutenant General Kaga complained bitterly. When the ground position was bombed to a mess and he lacked anti-tank weapons, the tanks of these independent divisions How much impact and destructive power will the tank bring to the imperial soldiers on the ground? Even if you think about it with your ass, Lieutenant General Kaga knows the result?

"Order, Nakashimano Artillery Regiment, immediately start preparing for shelling tanks of the independent division, waiting for the order of the division headquarters, the troops in the forward position, prepare the explosive packs, observe the positions around the position, pay attention to report the shelling effect!" Kaga Zhong The general ordered loudly that the tanks of the independent division must be destroyed, otherwise, his position would be broken through in the first attack, and the only way to achieve this effect was to use field artillery.

Facing the large number of independent division tanks that appeared, Lieutenant General Kaga could only take them out. The field artillery regiment originally used to bombard the infantry of the independent division could not destroy these tanks. How could we talk about defensive positions?

The muscles of Lieutenant General Kaga's whole body tensed up, and he calculated the distance to the tanks of the Independent Division in his mind, "Boom! Boom! Boom!" Suddenly, a burst of violent artillery sounded from the direction of the left flank. There was no order for shelling, but he immediately understood that it must be that bastard Oshima who couldn't hold back and ordered the artillery to fire!
