Age of Rebirth

During the day, 10,000+ soldiers pressed forward, attacking with all their strength, and had an overwhelming advantage in artillery fire. However, under the bombing of the overwhelming bomber fleet of the Air Force of the Independent Division, they also fell apart. Now, more than 90.00% of the artillery has been destroyed. Although there is no However, on the land of the Liaodong Peninsula after nightfall, what will be the result of the Second Corps' attack again?

It's not just those Japanese officers who feel uneasy, including Captain Yokono, they don't have much confidence. However, the only way in front of Colonel Yokono is to continue to attack. The Kwantung Army General Umezu Yoshijiro, the commander-in-chief, stared at him from behind, and the words in the telegram were still playing back in his mind. The hundreds of thousands of soldiers of the Second Corps, including himself, had no way out.

But what Colonel Yokono didn't know was that the Kwantung Army's Liaodong Peninsula frontline headquarters had already returned to Fengtian from Liaoyang. General Umezu Yoshijiro was indifferent to the success of the new Kwantung Army's second corps. , He didn't expect that these 10,000+ cannon fodder could take on the important task of defending Fengtian, and the reliable ones were the real soldiers of the Imperial Japanese Empire!

From Yokono's one-eyed eyes, there was a fierce light, and he looked fiercely at the demoralized Japanese officers, "Baga! As a soldier of the Great Japanese Empire, death on the battlefield is an inevitable destination. Don't forget, you guys You are the emperor's people, His Majesty's invincible samurai, I need you, with the most ferocious courage, to lead the Manchurian soldiers to launch a desperate charge! Gentlemen, I will be at the forefront of the charge!"

On the land of the Liaodong Peninsula under the night, all the remaining soldiers of the Second Corps of the Kwantung Army devoted themselves to this charge.Without the cover of artillery fire, on the pitch-black field, groups of soldiers lined up in skirmish lines, advancing silently. Colonel Yokono fulfilled his promise, with bandages wrapped around his head.Wearing a white shirt, holding the command knife high in his right hand, he walked in the front without hesitation.Behind him are most of the Japanese military officers, and behind him are 10,000+ Manchurian soldiers with blank faces.

The remaining Japanese officers.A light machine gun with a crooked handle in his hand.At the end of the assault formation, this was specifically explained by Colonel Yokono. Their identity is the supervisory team, and they have the right to shoot any officers and soldiers who retreat. They are also the last batch of assault forces. When the officers and soldiers in front, all After the earth under the night.They will launch one last attack!

In the dark night, a group of more than [-] people charged.It is true that there is a huge pressure that is breathtaking, but soldiers who lack the confidence to win are almost like walking corpses. They do not have the vigor to penetrate any obstacles at all, and they are like groups of death row prisoners being put on the execution ground. Wait for the gunfire!

In front of the position, there were so many figures like wooden piles. Of course, they could not escape the eyes of the forward observation post of the Independent Division. The situation was immediately reported to the regiments, and finally, it was summarized to Major General Han Tie, the commander of the Marine Corps in Andong City.

After listening to the report of the chief of staff, Colonel Wang Dongshan, Han Tie exploded at that time: "What? The fuck is not over, the whole line is pressing up? Group charge! No matter if it is the real devil or the second devil, since we are here to die, we Just fulfill him, order all the heavy artillery regiments to intercept with intensive firepower, and the frontline troops will launch firepower interception one by one!"

On the battlefield in the north of Andong, which had been silent for several hours, the sound of rumbling artillery resounded through the night sky again. Looking from the position of the headquarters, the artillery fire hit half the sky red. Han Tie stood on the highest balcony with his arms crossed. , looking at the northeastern direction of Andong motionlessly, until now, he is still wondering, that shitty Kwantung Army's new second corps, knowing that it will launch an attack, there will be no results, only to be beaten again Why are you still stalking when your head is broken?

Chief of Staff Wang Dongshan came to him and said, "Commander, Zhao Xudong, the advance team leader of the Eastern Front Chasing Force, has brought important information. He has arrived at the headquarters!"

Han Tie withdrew his gaze and hurried back. What he urgently needs to know now is the situation of the [-]th Division of the Japanese Army that has retreated from the Dragon King Temple to Tangchi in the south of Andong. Fire makes him always suspect, what kind of tricks are there?

In the war room downstairs, a ragged young captain officer with a tired face but full of energy stood upright like a javelin. Seeing Han Tie and several colonels coming in, he stood at attention with a "snap!" and said loudly: "Report to Commander, Captain Zhao Xudong of the brigade advance team directly under the Liaodong Peninsula Theater Command, led the team to chase and defeat the retreating Japanese army, and has arrived at the Dragon King Temple area. According to the order of our brigade commander Meng Jianzhu, we have important information to report to the headquarters!"

Han Tie raised his hand to return the salute, he was stunned for a moment, and said: "Wait! I know Meng Jianzhu, isn't he the head of the [-]st Regiment of the Sixth Brigade? He is very capable of fighting, and he is the number one general under the brigade commander Jiang Xianliang. The brigade commander? Also, how come there is an extra theater headquarters directly under the brigade?"

When Tang Qiuli decided to set up a brigade directly under the theater command, Han Tie was still in the northern part of the Korean peninsula in Tokugawa, working with the remnants of the No.40 Third Division of the Japanese and Korean Garrison. In order to deal with the two-line attack of the Japanese army and the Manchurian army, now, a brigade directly under it suddenly appeared, and the head of the brigade, Meng Jianzhu, became the brigade commander, and Han Tie was at a loss.

Seeing Zhao Xudong who was standing upright, Wang Dongshan, chief of staff, looked embarrassed, and hurriedly approached Han Tie's ear and said, "Commander, this is an order issued by the division commander before, and the fourth, fifth, and sixth brigades in the country will be withdrawn. Troops without small and medium-sized devil gas bombs were grouped together, designated as the brigade directly under the Liaodong Peninsula Theater Command, and Meng Jianzhu, the former head of the first regiment of the sixth brigade, was appointed as the brigade commander, directly under the command of the division commander!"

Han Tie suddenly realized, laughed and said, "Meng Jianzhu did a good job. It's not easy to get into the commander's eyes. One guy became the brigade commander, and the soldiers under him were made up of my three brigades." Yes, interesting!"

"Hey, Chief of Staff, so let me pick a bargain. Our Marine Corps has nine brigades. Now, there is an extra brigade directly under me. The brigade commander is the regimental commander under me, and the soldiers are my original soldiers." , the division commander will never be assigned to other regiments, wouldn’t it mean that I have an extra brigade establishment! It’s a good thing, it’s a great thing that the pie fell from the sky!”

Wang Dongshan looked at Han Tie, who was intoxicated with excitement, and Ha Laziliu, the elder, was speechless for a while, and reminded in a low voice: "Commander, Captain Zhao Xudong, the leader of the advance team, is still waiting to report the situation to you!"

"Hmm!" Han Tie came to his senses, looked at the stunned Zhao Xudong and asked, "Zhao Xudong, which brigade are you from? Is there any important report?"

Zhao Xudong was absolutely stunned from shock. In the impression of the officers of the Marine Corps, Commander Han Tie was a remarkable figure who turned a newly formed unit into a first-class field corps. When he saw the Commander with a smirk at the corner of his mouth just now, Zhao Xudong almost thought that he was delusional.

Hearing Han Tie ask himself, he came back to his senses, and hurriedly replied: "Report to the commander, I was originally the company commander of the fourth battalion and first company of the third regiment of the fourth brigade, and I was assigned to the brigade directly under the theater!"

Han Tie was overwhelmed, and said: "It's Huang Wanshan's soldiers. With Huang Wanshan's stinginess, a regiment of soldiers is gone. I don't know how distressed it is? Hahaha!" Seeing that Zhao Xudong was embarrassed, he couldn't adapt to himself It was only after he realized the majesty of the commander, he pointed to the chair and said, "Sit down, sit down and talk!"

Zhao Xudong was indeed bewildered by the commander's colorful expressions, so he dared not sit still, and said: "Commander, under the order of the brigade commander, I will lead an advance team of 150 people to fight against the retreating Japanese army [-]." In front of the remnants of the division, they reached the Dragon King Temple area, which was convenient for the Japanese army to exchange fire. During the exchange of fire, I found that the Japanese troops attacking the Longwang Temple blocking position of our army only had a brigade of more than [-] people!"

"Later, I got in touch with several other advance teams and found one thing in common, that is, the Japanese army attacking our blocking position south of Anton had few troops. After I reported the situation to the brigade headquarters, Brigadier Commander Meng ordered I report directly to the Commander!"

"What?" Zhao Xudong's report, like a bolt of lightning, pierced the fog in Han Tie's mind, and he suddenly understood why the [-]th Division of the Japanese Army arrived in the area south of Andong first. The remnant of the regiment, the reason for not actively attacking!

"The golden cicada escapes its shell!" Han Tie popped out these four words, looked at Chief of Staff Wang Dongshan and said, "Chief of Staff, how do you judge?"

Wang Dongshan walked to the military map in a few steps, pointed to the location of Gaizhou, and said affirmatively: "The remnants of the [-]th Division have attracted the attention of our army with a small number of troops. Most of the remnants must be in the direction of Gaizhou. Because at that time, Wan Lipeng's Ninth Brigade hadn't occupied Gaizhou yet!"

"Hahaha!" Han Tie laughed loudly, laughing heartily, "Travel yourself! Going to Gaizhou is also a dead end. Isn't this a stupid trick? It spans the Liaodong Peninsula, a distance of more than [-] kilometers, and you will be on the way at any time , was surrounded and annihilated by my chasing troops, that Umezu Yoshijiro lost his mind! When these little devils arrive in Gaizhou and find that this road is blocked, what will their expressions be?"

At this time, a staff officer put down the phone and reported: "Report to the commander, the blocking force north of Anton called, and the Kwantung Army's newly formed second corps, regardless of casualties, launched a collective charge towards our blocking position. The fighting was very fierce. However, under the bombardment of our army's powerful artillery fire, the casualties were heavy, that is, the ammunition on the front line is a bit urgent!"

Wang Dongshan ordered a staff officer to take Zhao Xudong down to have a meal and rest, and then said to Han Tie: "Commander, since the blockade line south of Anton has lost its practical effect, should we transfer some of our troops to the north to ease the situation?" The pressure of the blocking force?"
