Age of Rebirth

Chapter 410 Six Lore

The heavy rain in summer comes and goes very quickly. In the middle of the night, the rain has stopped, the sea breeze blows, the dark clouds clear, and a few stars are exposed in the sky, but the air is a bit cooler.

Tang Qiuli was not at all tired. He listened carefully to what was going on in the Nuerluhu mountain area. If gunshots came from that direction, it meant that Li Honggang's troops were discovered by the Japanese army during the penetration process, and all plans would be affected. , he will have to readjust the deployment.

The troops on the front line of Shanhaiguan will definitely retreat to the Pingjin area, and that is a situation of fighting and walking, not to mention embarrassed, very passive.

At this time, Li Honggang was competing with the mud and small rivers all over the place. Nuer Luhu Mountain is Manchu, which translates to Black Mountain, which is the remnant of Yanshan Mountain. The average altitude is not high. One thousand 220 four meters. [

One end extends to the north of Liaoning, crossing the Mongolian plateau, and the other plunges into the Liaoxi Corridor, close to the Shanhaiguan Great Wall. However, after years of rain erosion, thousands of ravines have created great difficulties for the troops to march.

This place is inaccessible, and there are no rich products or dangerous passes. The Japanese army did not pay attention to this direction, and there were no checkpoints or strongholds along the way. The troops were not worried about encountering the Japanese army or the Manchurian army, but the road was too difficult to walk. some.

After contacting the special warfare unit that came to respond, the troops followed the route that the special warfare team had surveyed in advance, and went to the back of the Itagaki division. Some small villages along the way had been controlled by the special warfare team. All the villagers, None are allowed to leave here.

These villagers who have lived in mountainous areas for many years, have never seen such a large formation, good guy, tens of thousands of troops, and countless mules, horses and cannons, why leave the main road and take the mountain road?

Although they are not allowed to leave the village, these soldiers are much more friendly than the Japanese and national soldiers, and there is no such thing as the eldest daughter and daughter-in-law of that family being ruined, borrowing a house and paying back the money, that is a waste of money. Have you seen it in your life?Some courageous young people dared to strike up a conversation with the troops.

Knowing that the troops were going through the mountains to the direction of the Liugu River, these young people who were familiar with the local conditions volunteered to lead the way as guides. As a result, the marching speed of the troops was greatly accelerated, and, under the leadership of the locals who were familiar with the situation, Also found a shortcut.

Tens of thousands of troops can be said to have passed the Itagaki Division. If Itagaki expanded his security radius to the mountainous areas, Li Honggang would have to withdraw and retreat. However, Itagaki did not. He has a high degree of confidence in his own strength. confidence.

At dawn, the Itagaki Division repeated its old tricks and deployed a brigade. The leading unit, with the brigade as the unit, went to the starting point of the attack, and first used light artillery to blast towards the front position of the independent division for a while. , The Japanese army swarmed up.

The troops of the Independent Division began to fight back. Feng Jiwu's strategy was that if the heavy firepower of the Banyuan Division did not appear, the heavy artillery of the troops would remain hidden. At the critical moment, he would give the Japanese a heavy blow. Tang Qiuli fully agreed with him. plan of.

Therefore, the defenders fought back with only a few mortars, and more light and heavy machine guns and submachine guns. Once the Japanese attack was frustrated, they retreated across the board. After the first round, the troops of the Independent Division suffered slight casualties. As the attacking side, the Japanese army suffered far more losses than the troops of the Independent Division.

Until the afternoon of the battle, Tang Qiuli, who had been observing the characteristics of the Japanese attack, was amused by Itagaki's tactics. Who was the one who took the hook, himself or Itagaki?Itagaki would be too leisurely if he didn't beat him up a bit, and Li Honggang and the others would be safer if he separated this fierce old devil from his spiritual leader.

During the gap between the Japanese attack, Tang Qiuli moved all the mortars to the second-line front line. At this distance, the Japanese attack assembly point was just within the coverage of the firepower. He did not plan to use heavy artillery for the time being.

All the mortar units form four artillery groups, and each mortar is required to evacuate the second-line position immediately after firing ten rounds, otherwise, it will incur retaliation from the Japanese heavy artillery. The defensive trenches were dug very well, and more than 800 mortars moved to the second-line defensive position, but the Japanese army on the opposite side did not notice it at all.

On the opposite side of the Japanese army, after gathering their troops, there was a burst of shelling first, and then the infantry began to charge. Just as the Japanese commander gave the order to attack, a strange howling sound suddenly sounded in the sky. The Japanese veterans with combat experience turned pale at that time. It was the sound of several mortars flying head-on.

Before the Japanese army could react, mortars like a swarm of sparrows smashed down on their heads, and then more monsters roared down. The Japanese army attacked the assembly area, and was immediately shrouded in thick gunpowder smoke, with the sound of explosions. Penetrating in all directions, countless sharp steel pieces were flying and spinning, wantonly harvesting the lives of the Japanese soldiers.

The sound of the guns stopped, and the smoke had not dissipated. The soil of the Japanese army's assembly area seemed to have been plowed once, and the pits could no longer be distinguished. More than 8000 mortars, in such a short period of time, intensively attacked fixed locations, killing Power can be imagined.

A fully-staffed field regiment, with nearly 800 Japanese soldiers, can stand up, no more than [-] people, and some are rolling and crying on the ground, and most of them are corpses that are still warm. The broken pieces, Yin Hong's blood, merged into the stagnant water last night, bright red and dazzling.

Itagaki Seishiro, who was studying the military map in the tent, was stunned for a while when he received the report from the frontier, and furiously folded the pencil in half, with a fierce look in his eyes. The despicable Chinese originally wanted to play the game of eagle and chicken , but was blinded by the chicken.

If this revenge is not avenged, the illustrious reputation of the Itagaki Division will be greatly damaged. The heavy artillery unit will immediately bombard the positions of the Chinese army. To let the corpses of Chinese soldiers fill the offensive path of our Itagaki Division, Itagaki lost the patience to play games. [

The heavy artillery of the Japanese army went crazy, and the large-caliber artillery smashed into the first-line and second-line defensive positions of the Independent Division like locusts flying all over the sky. Turned over and shattered, the earth trembled violently.

The Japanese bombardment had no effect at all. Tang Qiuli had long expected that Itagaki would retaliate after suffering such a big loss. The frontline troops all withdrew to the fourth line of defense, and there were no troops left behind on the third line of defense. The heavy artillery of the Japanese army is not a decoration.

The soldiers on the fourth line of defense turned a deaf ear to the bombardment of the Japanese army. They were all veterans of the independent division and had experienced more intense scenes than this. Some simply seized the time to take a nap. .

The location of the Japanese heavy artillery was exposed. Tang Qiuli hurriedly ordered the artillery unit to measure the coordinates of the Japanese artillery immediately, and waited for the order to destroy the Japanese heavy artillery unit that threatened the troops the most. After looking for you for a long time, he finally showed up.

The heavy artillery bombardment by the Japanese army lasted for an hour and a half before it stopped. More than 60 Japanese tanks rushed towards them roaring, raising thick smoke, firing at the target while advancing. Behind the tanks were nearly [-] Japanese soldiers. This time, Itagaki was hurt by Tang Qiuli's sudden blow, and finally took out the capital in his hand.

The Japanese tanks roared, running over the unrecognizable first-line and second-line positions, and approaching the third-line positions. The Japanese infantry following the tanks struggled to pull their feet out of the soft soil. The power is really astonishing, and there is no trace of the Chinese soldiers being bombed.

Itagaki was convinced that with heavy artillery bombardment, tanks and infantry assaults, the Chinese army on the opposite side could only escape and be annihilated. Let the despicable Chinese people understand that if itagaki was annoyed, what would be the consequence?

It is no wonder that Itagaki is confident. Feng Jiwu has always deployed three brigades to confront Itagaki, and he has not yet used the artillery brigade. Itagaki's illusion is that the Chinese army on the opposite side has only 5 to [-] people.

Wanting to fight against the Itagaki division is a big joke. If it wasn't for the implementation of the overall plan of the base camp, Itagaki had no patience to waste time with Feng Jiwu. He would have commanded the troops to kill him. Itagaki has never been a defensive general.

The Japanese tanks were more than 1000 meters away from the third-line position of the Independent Division. There was no movement on the position, and no one could be seen. The Japanese infantry screamed wildly, and the Chinese people were scared away. rushed to the front of the tank.

On the third-line position, the anti-tank gun units of the brigades of the Independent Division quietly lay on the gun positions, looking at the crazy Japanese army, and felt funny. There were more than 60 tanks. In the eyes of these anti-tank gunmen, they were more than 60 live tanks. For the target, there are more guns and fewer tanks, and only seven or eight anti-tank guns can be used to hit one. Whoever is quick and quick will be credited.

When the Japanese tanks were more than 400 meters away from the position, they stopped. The Japanese infantry swarmed up, and the Japanese tank soldiers lifted the canopy leisurely. If there were defenders at such a distance, they would have opened fire long ago.

On the opposite side of the originally silent position, suddenly several black gun muzzles appeared. The Japanese tank soldiers hurriedly got into the cockpit, and the vehicle body shook suddenly. There was a dull explosion sound from inside the tank, and a thick smoke rose from inside the tank. Concentrated by several armor-piercing rounds, the fuel tank caught fire, and the medicine in the car exploded. All the tanks of the Japanese army faced the same fate and exploded into balls of burning fireballs.

It's no wonder that the Japanese tank soldiers were careless. They didn't know that the anti-tank guns that originally appeared on the European battlefield appeared in China a few years in advance, but they ended up annihilated.

The charging Japanese infantry seemed to be swept head-on by an iron broom, and shot back like dust. It was not dozens or hundreds of light and heavy machine guns, but thousands of light and heavy machine guns and tens of thousands of Somi submachine guns. The concentrated fire shooting is all automatic firearms. In the dense Japanese army formation, there is no need to aim at all, just pick up the gun and shoot.

The Japanese infantry slammed into the iron plate, and the squadron on the opposite side was so densely fired that it was like a torrential rain, and they couldn't resist it physically. The same was true for the arrogant and brutal soldiers of the Itagaki Division.
