Age of Rebirth

Chapter 650 The Killer Comes from the Kwantung Army

The palm-sized first defensive position of Huangyadong, under the bombardment of Okamura Ningji's secret weapon, actually caused the veteran independent third brigade to lose almost a regiment of troops. Huangyadong's defense commander Chang Fengyan Ma Chaoyang, the commander of the Third Independent Brigade, couldn't hold back his breath, and the regiment commander who was ordered to retreat to the core position of Huangya Cave to rest was crying like a tearful person.

The seven-foot-tall man, together with the remaining hundreds of brothers under his command, wailed loudly when they saw the brigade commander Ma Chaoyang, and almost passed out. The tears in the eyes of those soldiers never stopped. It made my heart sour. For the Independent Third Brigade, this loss was really useless. The Japanese army continued to bombard them. The soldiers didn't even have a chance to fight back, so they were disabled. It's too domineering, the fortifications designed according to the strongest level are actually vulnerable.

In his telegram to division commander Tang Qiuli, in addition to reporting the failure of the first battle of the Huangyadong defense battle, he also specifically implored the division commander to activate the independent division intelligence system to find out what weapons the Japanese army was using. I don't know where the ruthless hand came from, so I can deal with the battle below. The whole Huangya Cave is full of resentment for today's battle result, only the old fox Okamura Ningji is smiling very happily.

After encircling Huangya Cave, Okamura Ningji was not in a hurry to attack. Looking at the surrounding terrain of Huangya Cave, it was obvious that there were dotted with bunkers and dark bunkers. Why do you fill it in? There is no response at all. Based on the terrain, even if you fill it in with all the troops in your hand, you may not be able to break through the well-designed defense system. [

He rushed back to the Northeast overnight and asked his old boss, Kwantung Army Commander Nanjiro for help. As the former chief of staff of the Kwantung Army, Neiji Okamura knew all the deployment and equipment of the Kwantung Army. He had the heavy equipment he needed, which was deployment. The third independent heavy artillery brigade of the Kwantung Army on the front line of Dongning, Heilongjiang. The brigade is equipped with 64 heavy artillery with a diameter of [-] mm. It is the only strategic heavy artillery brigade of the Kwantung Army. The combat object is the Soviet Union in the Far East. Haishanwei is the only estuary to the sea.

According to the strategic vision of the Kwantung Army Command, once the Japanese-Soviet War breaks out, these super-large cannons with a range of tens of kilometers will instantly destroy the Soviet Haishanwei military port, preventing the Soviets from using it as a base. It can be said that the only strategic heavy artillery brigade of the Kwantung Army is responsible for guarding the northern gate of the Kwantung Army. Therefore, except for the commander of the Kwantung Army, no other senior The generals have no right to use this force.

And Neiji Okamura fell in love with these super big guys. When he saw General Nanjiro, he did not hide his thoughts. Looking at the slightly tired front subordinates, Nanjiro knew that his life in North China was not easy. , as the commander of the Kwantung Army, Nanjiro has always wanted to include North China in the sphere of influence of the Kwantung Army, and his chief of staff will serve as the commander of the North China Dispatch Army, half of the goal has been achieved.

Neiji Okamura's difficulties are his difficulties, and he will naturally support him with conditions. He wants guns for guns, and people for others. In a few words, the heavy artillery brigade is settled, and 28 heavy artillery pieces are dispatched to enter the customs to support Neiji Okamura's troops. In the battle to attack the Huangyadong area, Nanjiro said to Neiji Okamura in a solemn tone: "Mr. Gangcun, North China is the fundamental place of the imperial jihad. With the outbreak of the war against China, only one Manchuria has already It cannot meet the growing consumption of war."

Neiji Okamura nodded sympathetically, and Nanjiro went on to say: "I have already reported to His Majesty the Emperor, and to the headquarters. From the overall strategic point of view, Manchuria and North China should be designated as a war zone in order to make better use of the two places. Manpower and material resources, therefore, the performance of Mr. Gangcun in North China is not only for the honor of the Kwantung Army, but also related to the fundamental interests of the empire, please, Mr. Gangcun!"

After Nanjiro finished speaking, he tightly held Neiji Okamura's hand. In fact, in the eyes of all the senior generals of the Kwantung Army, the vast and fertile Soviet Far East, rich in mineral deposits, and uncultivated fertile land are extremely rare The aborigines have always been a piece of fat in their mouths, and these greedy Japanese people can't sleep or eat, and they can't sit or sleep.

Since the middle of the last century, Japan, an island country that had been taught by European and American powers, embarked on the road of industrialization. With a strong desire to kill, the Sino-Japanese War of [-]-[-], the cockroaches of the newborn calf, knocked over the giant dragon of China, and made the Japanese, who were originally guilty, full of confidence. The seemingly mighty China was so vulnerable .

At the beginning of this century, the Russo-Japanese War broke out in the Liaodong Peninsula of China. To put it bluntly, this war was a war between two hungry wolves fighting for a sheep in someone else’s yard. The sheep destined to be devoured just fell into the wolf's mouth, and the owner of the sheep even ridiculously expressed neutrality, neither of which would help.

The result of the war, even the Japanese at that time could not believe it. The huge monster that came from the north and had its feet across Eurasia was bumped back by the Japanese who mustered up the courage at that time, but was actually trembling in his heart. And the blood was broken, the armor was thrown away, and the Liaodong Peninsula changed to a new owner. The victory of the Russo-Japanese War gave all the Japanese people a shot of stimulant. There was no point of return, and in the end he was defeated and surrendered, allowing the Yankees to colonize.

Neiji Okamura, one of the core figures of the Kwantung Army, doesn't he understand Nanjiro's painstaking efforts. Only in North China, which is as stable as Manchuria and integrated with Manchuria, can the Kwantung Army have the capital to challenge the giant bear in the north , This is also the Kwantung Army's unswerving overall strategy. Looking at the entire War of Resistance Against Japan, although the Japanese army occupied an increasing area of ​​Chinese land, its strength has been stretched. The vast land of China has diluted the strength of the Japanese army.

However, the million Kwantung Army has always been guarding the very safe Sino-Soviet border. The German army was approaching the city of Moscow. Stalin had already tried his best. In the Far East, it seemed hesitant, did nothing, and stood idly by, allowing the Japanese troops in other directions to fall into a quagmire. It was really puzzling. They always kept their eyes on the north, and the millions of troops were vacant. It was a strategic decision-making error of the Kwantung Army. It is the greedy personality that decides the fate, perhaps, only those crazy people who fought against China back then knew it clearly.

If millions of Kwantung troops marched south and swept across like a torrent, neither the Central Army nor the Communist Eighth Route Army could resist this violent force, and China's war of resistance against Japan would be much harder to fight. It is still difficult to be sure of gaining a firm foothold in Chongqing, which is located in the southwestern part of the country. The final victory will definitely not be in [-], and it may take another three to five years, or even longer.

After dismantling the gigantic giant cannon, it was put on a train and headed south urgently. The performance of this kind of giant cannon in actual combat, not to mention Okamura Neiji, has never been seen before, and even Nanjiro has never seen it before. Nanjiro was also happy to be a favor for the opportunity to test his power. He also gave Okamura Ningji a big gift. The Kwantung Army Command is actively considering the formation of a new southward corps to support the North China battlefield. There will be no shortage of troops. There are 11 people in the three first-class divisions.

Neiji Okamura, who returned with a full load, returned to North China excitedly, busy deploying heavy artillery, and took a lot of effort to transport these terrifying big guys into the Taihang Mountains. The results of the first shelling proved that Neiji Okamura was an extremely A senior Japanese general with tactical training and strategic vision can be regarded as Tang Qiuli's opponent.

After the shelling stopped, stepping on the rocks and concrete fragments all over the mountain, the Japanese army dispatched a division of troops and easily occupied the first fortification of the Huangyadong base without encountering any resistance. Afterwards, the results were reported to Where is Neji Okamura? Looking at the battle report, the old devil Neji Okamura is very satisfied.

"Your Excellency, Commander, according to the preliminary statistics of the battle results, the shelling destroyed a total of more than 30 reinforced concrete bunkers of the Chinese defenders. Based on the calculation of each bunker equipped with [-] soldiers, a total of more than [-] Chinese soldiers were annihilated this time. The specific figures , I am counting, please report later, "I don't know what kind of psychology, maybe since the war in North China, the imperial army has been beaten everywhere. Officer, exaggerated the results of the battle several times.

The strange thing is that Neiji Okamura believed such a battle report. He had reason to believe that the power of this giant cannon shocked even him, who claimed to be a battle-tested and well-informed man. He saw it with his own eyes. , As soon as the cannon was fired, the huge rock was overturned and shattered, and a huge pit appeared on the ground.

Neiji Okamura came to the scene in person. He wanted to carefully observe the effect of the shelling. Where is Commander Nanjiro? He also needs detailed ear data. A large group of senior Japanese army commanders brought a large group of artillery commanders and engineers. , When we arrived at the shelling site, the empty soil over the shoe upper, gravel and concrete fragments everywhere, exposed steel bars, blood stains, and trees broken into sawdust, all of which did not explain the catastrophe that had been suffered here.

The Japanese army technicians began to measure the pit and calculate the explosive force. Neiji Okamura carefully looked at the explosion point of the cannon. On the hard stone wall, there were many white pits. He picked up a concrete fragment, which was more than eighty centimeters long. The thickness, not counting the soil covering it, is such a blockhouse, which is vulnerable to the giant artillery of the imperial army. Neji Okamura does not know how many such blockhouses and fortifications are ahead. [

He only knew that no matter how strong the defensive system was, it would collapse in front of the giant artillery of the imperial army. The soldiers of Tang Qiuli's army who were hiding inside were the ghosts under his sword. This was produced for Tang Qiuli. The base of the medicine will become a ruin more desolate than the desert. Unfortunately, I can't cut off the head of a Chinese soldier with my own hands. In three days, Huangya Cave will become a historical term.
