Age of Rebirth

The suggestion of Colonel Wang Dongshan, chief of staff of the Marine Corps, is a feasible way to relieve the pressure on the blocking battlefield in the north of Andong. At least five to six battalions of troops can be mobilized to strengthen the troops on the blocking line in the north of Andong. The shortage of ammunition proves that the blocking battle is quite fierce.

Han Tie shook his head again and again, "Chief of Staff, that's not what you said. There are not many troops in the blockade line in the south of Andong, and we must never deploy more troops. We are only judging the remnants of the [-]th Division heading west towards Gaizhou. , there is no information to confirm, so don't take it lightly!"

"The blocking battle in the north of Andong seemed to be a desperate attack by the Second Corps of the Kwantung Army, and it fought fiercely. However, there was no artillery cover, and we were hit repeatedly. Our army has strong firepower and relies on fortifications. Just fight, order the logistics department to immediately supply ammunition to the front line as quickly as possible, there are plenty of shells and bullets in Anton City, I want to see if those second devils can bear it!"

The howling shells carried the five dragons in the north of Andong to the Baoshan area, hitting them like tumbling magma, and the crimson red clouds filled the night sky, as brilliant as the sunset, but this kind of brilliance is not a beautiful scenery. It was a sea of ​​death, and the bodies of countless soldiers from the Second Corps of the Kwantung Army turned into fragments in the sea of ​​fire!

The six heavy artillery regiments shelled intensively, and the shells covered all the areas. On the front line, there were medium and small-caliber artillery from the artillery battalions of each regiment, covering them repeatedly. Captain Yokono Colonel was very honored to be summoned by His Majesty the Emperor.Returning to the embrace of Amaterasu, even a complete corpse could not be found.

The news of the death of the commander-in-chief Yokono did not spread among the officers and soldiers of the newly formed Second Corps of the Kwantung Army. This was thanks to the artillery fire from the Independent Division, which disrupted the command system of the Second Corps.There was no way to communicate with each other between the various brigades. Therefore, the Japanese commanders still followed the orders of the commander-in-chief, Colonel Yokono, and brought batches of Manchukuo soldiers with them.Rush to death.

Under such intensive artillery fire, the soldiers of the Manchukuo Army in the new Second Corps of the Kwantung Army first lost their fighting spirit and began to flee back in groups. However, they met.It is a supervising team composed of all Japanese officers. Before these soldiers of the Manchukuo Army realized the luck of saving their lives from the artillery fire that almost collapsed the earth, what greeted them was the howling of light machine guns, flying wildly of bullets.Without warning, the Japanese officers spoke with bullets.

The supervising team composed of Japanese officers used the light machine guns in their hands to force the soldiers of the Manchurian Army who had fled the battlefield back to the battlefield again, and forced them into the place of death where the shrapnel flew. Shining flames, amidst the flames, groups of soldiers of the Manchurian Army.Falling on the ground under heavy artillery fire, what flew one after another in mid-air were countless fragments of corpses, amidst the pervasive gunpowder smoke, mixed with the pungent smell of blood.

A few rushed through layers of fire nets.The Japanese officers and soldiers of the New Second Corps of the Kwantung Army rushed to the forward position of the blocking force of the Independent Division. The Japanese officer who came down waved his command knife and shouted frantically.

Under the flash of artillery fire, the trench that had always been silent in the night was revived in an instant as if connected to an electric current. In the eyes of the Japanese officers and soldiers of the Manchurian Army, countless sparks suddenly rose. Then, there was the howling sound of light and heavy machine guns like a storm, crashing head-on like a three-dimensional metal wall.

Since the start of the night blocking battle, the artillery has been playing the leading role. Even the mortars have been fighting in full swing. The firepower points of the forward positions that are useless finally have a chance to speak. Han Tie's six regiments, with a few Thousands of light and heavy machine guns gave the Kwantung Army soldiers a head-on blow.

The dense rain of bullets shattered the bodies of the rushing Japanese soldiers and shredded all the creatures that entered the fire net. The trucks transporting the ammunition in the logistics department sent boxes of shells and bullets to the artillery at the fastest speed. positions and forward positions.

The artillery of the independent division, because it is a long-distance shelling, feels nothing. For the light and heavy machine gun shooters on the forward positions, such a battle is not very interesting. Compared with the little devils, they are not a little bit worse, and, no matter what, they are still Chinese, aren't they?

Light and heavy machine gun shooters, although they think so in their hearts, they will never be soft when fighting. It's just that they have some compassion in their hearts. The only regret is that there are too few real devils and second devils who have survived the artillery fire. Every light and heavy machine gun, It's just that two magazines have just been fired, and there is no longer a standing figure in sight.

At around nine o'clock that night, amidst the sound of rumbling guns, three brigades of the No. 20 Ninth Corps, with more than 5 troops, came ashore at Andong Port from the Mokpo battlefield on the Korean Peninsula to urgently reinforce the northern battlefield of the Liaodong Peninsula.

Major General Ding Pengfei, commander of the 20th Brigade of the No. [-] Ninth Corps, jumped from the gangway of the ship onto the hard ground of the Andong Port Wharf. With the sound of gunfire, he took a deep breath of the salty and gunpowder-smelling air. This smell of gunpowder lifted his spirits, and he said to the brigade chief of staff, Colonel Xu Guangzhu: "Chief of staff, we are lucky. Go to Andong Wharf, and you can win battles!"

"Listen to the sound of the artillery, I guess, at least five or more of our heavy artillery regiments are shelling, good guy, the formation is big enough, immediately report to Commander Han, No. When we disembark at Andong Port, all the officers and soldiers of our fourth brigade can go into battle immediately, please Commander Han to issue combat missions!"

At the same time, Major General Feng Fenghui, commander of the 20th Brigade of the No. 5 Ninth Corps, and Major General Bai Chaole, commander of the [-]th Brigade, sent a message to the commander of the Marine Corps in Andong City, who is also in charge of the northern campaign of the Liaodong Peninsula battlefield. Major General Han Tie, the commander of the group, reported that the troops had already disembarked at Andong Port. More than [-] troops went ashore in an orderly manner from several piers in Andong Port. The usually empty piers were crowded. full den den.

Anton, Chief of Staff of the Marine Corps Command, Colonel Wang Dongshan, walked quickly into the war room, and said excitedly: "Commander, good news! I just received a telegram that the No. 20 Ninth Corps Fourth, Fifth, and No. The Sixth Brigade has landed at the port, Major General Ding Pengfei, commander of the Fourth Brigade, Major General Feng Fenghui, commander of the Fifth Brigade, and Major General Bai Chaole, commander of the Sixth Brigade, have all sent telegrams to ask for instructions on combat missions!"

"Okay!" Han Tieke yelled loudly, "It's Li Honggang's soldiers after all, good job, Chief of Staff, give them an order immediately, and your department will immediately go to the front line of Wulongbei, Bianmen, and Baoshan in the northeast of Andong , to launch a counterattack against the newly formed Second Corps of the Kwantung Army. Previously, the six regiments of the blocking force on this line were assigned to your department. The result I want is to wipe out the new Kwantung Army before ten o'clock tomorrow morning. Make up the second corps!"

Wang Dongshan quickly recorded Han Tie's order, and was about to leave when Han Tie stopped him again, "Chief of Staff, wait a minute, add these few words to the order, the military situation is urgent, after the battle is over, I will Anton will clean up the dust for the brigade commanders, and report this situation to the division commander immediately!"

After receiving the order, the three brigades of the No.20 Ninth Corps, without even taking a breath, went to the battlefield immediately, while using the lives of 10,000+ soldiers of the Manchukuo Army to conduct unnecessary offensives. The Japanese commanders had no idea that more than 5 well-equipped and highly motivated soldiers from the Independent Division had already overwhelmed them. The fate of the Second Corps was already doomed. The sun tomorrow morning would be the last time they saw .

In Jiuzhai in the middle of the Liaodong Peninsula, an ordinary house with whirling green trees, where the temporary headquarters of the Liaodong Peninsula Theater is located, the night is getting dark, and a room in the main building is still lit, and three silhouettes are reflected on the thin window paper , two curvaceous figures were constantly busy, and one figure seemed to be sitting on a chair. The special guards on guard all knew that the teacher and the two wives were spending the most leisure time of the day. At this time, the staff members of the staff office seldom come to disturb the division commander.

Chief of Staff Zhao Yuhe walked in briskly with a telegram, and stopped the special guards from saluting. As soon as he arrived at the door of the house, he heard Tang Qiuli say, "Xinlan, pour me some tea." !"

Next, there was a crisp female voice, "Sister Xue, look, he has become a lord, the tea cup is right in front of him, and he asked me to pour tea!" Another beautiful female voice echoed: "That's it, I He Xinlan cooks food for you every day and does laundry for you, you are showing off more and more!"

"Do I have it? No, take care of me, but Sister Ting entrusts you two with an important task! Hahaha!" It was the teacher's voice.

Zhao Yuhe, who was standing at the door, couldn't help but secretly laughed, no need to ask, it was the teacher and the two wives who were joking with each other, "Bang bang!" He raised his hand and knocked on the door, and said, "Master, it's me. A telegram from Commander Hantie of the Marine Corps!"

"Come in, Yuhe!" Tang Qiuli's peaceful voice came.

Pushing open the door and entering, Zhao Yuhe found that Mei Xue and Liu Xinlan's faces were a little blushing. They obviously knew that what the three of them were joking with each other just now was overheard by the chief of staff. After saying hello, the two hurried away. Tang Qiuli's request was related to military issues, and irrelevant people must avoid it. Mei Xue and Liu Xinlan consciously abide by this rule.

"Yuhe, sit down and say, it's so late, Han Tie is calling, what's the matter?" Obviously, Tang Qiuli was in a good mood at the moment, and asked with a smile, pointing to the chair.
