Age of Rebirth

Chapter 750: Sweeping Western Liaoning

With the strength of three and a half brigades, Feng Jiwu fought bravely into the 10,000+ Kwantung Army troops, and his fierce fighting power made the Kwantung Army troops chaotic and successfully dragged the Kwantung Army troops for more than an hour. The tail-chasing troops commanded by Qiu Li won precious time.

The thunderbolt hit the head, and the defeat could not be saved. The commander of the Kwantung Army going south, Lieutenant General Yano Otozaburo, hurriedly gave the order to retreat to Jinzhou, and before he could get into the car, he was involuntarily surrounded by soldiers Fleeing to the direction of Jinzhou, the poor Commander Yano Yinzaburo only had a few guards around him, and there was not even a ghost of the staff and staff who usually surrounded him and showed great hospitality.

There was another burst of fierce interception, gunshots sounded like popping beans, and there were battlefields everywhere around Xingcheng. After joining Feng Jiwu's troops, the pursuit troops of the Independent Division bit more than 2 Kwantung Army soldiers and divided them. , encirclement, all the brigades were scrambling to kill the besieged Japanese army, such a small number of Kwantung Army troops obviously did not satisfy Tang Qiuli's appetite, he issued an order to leave four brigades to be responsible for destroying the besieged Japanese army, and Occupy Xingcheng and the surrounding areas, and develop northward, clear the scattered Kwantung Army garrison troops stationed in various places.

The rest of the troops immediately threw off the Japanese army in front of them, and continued to chase after them, not giving the fleeing Kwantung Army troops any chance to breathe. On the highway in Jinzhou, the soldiers of the Kwantung Army chased after them. [

The Ninth Division of the Kwantung Army is also one of the most elite troops in the battle order of the Kwantung Army. The entire division is full of more than 8000 people. Fortunately, the Ninth Division was in Niuxin Mountain and was not ambushed. The organizational system is complete, but the organizational system was disrupted after being violently attacked by the Air Force of the Independent Division. However, Lieutenant General Suwon Yongjian, the division commander, still controls the strength of the two regiments. It is a blessing in misfortune .

After successive ambushes, air strikes, flanking attacks, and pursuits, Lieutenant General Mizuhara Yongjian knew very well that if the Chinese army was allowed to pursue this way, the troops would eventually be broken up, divided and surrounded, and annihilated one by one. The command system of the troops had fallen into a trap. In a state of confusion, he called his commander Lieutenant General Yano Otonaburo several times in a row, but he couldn't get in touch.

It must have been during the desperate escape. Suwon Yongjian was not in the mood to even curse the family background of this small restaurant selling sauce soup. The commander was not in the mood. Instead, he calmed down at the critical moment. Only by establishing a blocking front can the fate of annihilation of the entire army be avoided. , when everyone is running for their lives, let me, Suwon, make sacrifices for the whole army, for His Majesty the Emperor, for the Kwantung Army, and even more for the honor of the Great ***Emperor***, he murmured in his heart Said.

Suwon Yongjian still had a good idea. He ordered all the commanders and soldiers of the two regiments who had always followed him to stand on the road, facing the Kwantung Army soldiers who were fleeing like a tide, and shouted: "This is the Ninth Division." At the assembly point, all the officers and soldiers of the Ninth Division must gather immediately!" Not only that, Suwon also ordered the guard flag squadron to raise the flag of the Ninth Division and place it in the middle of the road.

These two tricks worked very well. The Ninth Division is also an elite unit of the Kwantung Army. There are constantly lower-level commanders of the Ninth Division, as if they saw their mother’s family, bringing soldiers from the headquarters to gather and form a united army. In less than an hour, Suwon gathered more than [-] troops.

Looking at the soldiers who were running out of breath, Suyuan felt sad for a while. In one night, the army lost more than [-] troops. My division has been seriously injured. Can the remaining soldiers return to the mainland alive?The answer is no, just look at the chasing soldiers who are raising dust all over the sky and chasing like a flood, as far as the ending of this blocking battle is concerned, just doing the duty of a soldier, Suwon looked indifferently at the passing soldiers The soldiers, with indescribable contempt and anger on their expressions, felt great shame. These people were not worthy of being warriors of the Dahe nation.

In a hurry, Suwon established two blocking positions, and their command quality is commendable. The Japanese soldiers of the Ninth Division had just dug out their personal bunkers, and the soldiers of the Independent Division who were chasing after them were swept up in the first wave. The Japanese soldiers on the defense line opened fire. Unfortunately, there was neither artillery fire support, nor the heavy machine guns and mortars normally deployed, and they all ran away during the retreat.

Sparse guns, mixed with the roar of a few crooked light machine guns, the chasing soldiers of the independent division who were caught off guard were hit by the sudden guns, and the rest fell down in a hurry, leaving the soldiers of the Kwantung Army stunned. Now, what is in the pursuit process, after encountering a block, quickly switch to an offensive method.

That is, after the first batch of soldiers were hit and the soldiers behind fell down, within 3 minutes, hundreds of mortars appeared in front of the soldiers of the Kwantung Army as if they were summoned out of thin air. , Fired the first cannon. This was one of the first few field brigades established by Tang Qiuli. After several battles, the commander's adaptability and the individual combat quality of the soldiers surpassed that of any corps.

The cannon roared and landed on the heads of the Kwantung Army soldiers, the flames were shining, and the pieces flew horizontally, and clouds of gunpowder smoke rose. Then, more and more mortars and Type [-] infantry artillery joined the bombardment of the Ninth Division of the Kwantung Army In the ranks of the blocking position, the soldiers of the Ninth Division without the support of artillery fire and heavy weapons could only lie helplessly in the individual bunkers that were only enough to cover their bodies, praying to God Amaterasu that the guns would not fall on their heads.

After receiving a report from the troops in front, the Kwantung Army had established a blocking position on the line from Xingcheng to Yangjiao. Our troops were shelling. In such a panic situation, to establish a blocking position, the generals of the Kwantung Army have good offensive and defensive conversion capabilities and adaptability. Destroy the determination of this heavy Kwantung Army group.

"Order, all artillery units, immediately deploy on the spot, bombard the Kwantung Army's defensive positions, and I will pass here in an hour!" Tang Qiuli gave the order briefly, which means that the artillery units following the troops, within an hour Within this period, the task of establishing artillery positions and covering the blocking positions of the Kwantung Army with artillery fire must be completed to open the way for the infantry to continue advancing.

This is not an easy task. The artillery unit that is moving in requires strong adaptability and hard training by the soldiers. After receiving the order from the division commander, Zheng Yong immediately issued an order to the entire artillery unit. The galloping artillery vehicle, Immediately stopped, unloaded the cannon, and got busy nervously. Zheng Yong had been appointed by Tang Qiuli as the commander of the artillery unit of the independent division and the commander of the first artillery brigade. His first brigade was the first to complete the artillery preparations.

While giving the order, Zheng Yong had already communicated with the infantry commander on the front line, and the data reports came back one by one. Four or ten minutes later, the first round of shelling began. The soldiers of the Kwantung Army blasted high into the sky, Tang Qiuli nodded in satisfaction, and Zheng Yong's movements were quite fast.

The large-caliber heavy artillery of the artillery unit, the mortars and Type [-] infantry artillery of the forward troops, and the cannon poured out of the hastily established Japanese blocking position are enough to destroy any creature in the area covered by the artillery fire. After an hour, there is no Kanto The blocking position of the Ninth Division of the Army, except for the pits everywhere, the drifting smoke, and the gradually disappearing gunpowder smoke, there is no trace of life.

There is a piece of scorched earth everywhere. More than 2 Kwantung Army soldiers acted as cannon fodder and became the life-saving straw for most of the Kwantung Army soldiers. They delayed the pursuit of soldiers for an hour. There were no traces of existence to be seen. Together with his more than 2 soldiers, he turned into a wisp of wandering spirit floating in the northeast sky, and the entire Ninth Division was wiped out.

All of this is related to Lieutenant General Yano Yinsaburo, the commander who was dizzy and retreated. He heard the violent sound of cannons behind him, and it was getting farther and farther away. Is the Chinese army fighting?" A guard replied: "Your Excellency, Commander, it may be the troops of the head of the Suwon Division." Hearing what the guard said, Yano Yinsaburo felt sour in his heart. In the entire army, after a big defeat, the only one who can win the lottery.

In the afternoon, the defeated troops of the Kwantung Army had already reached the outskirts of Jinzhou, the Nuerhe area, and they could enter Jinzhou City after more than 20 kilometers. The headquarters sent reinforcements to drive them out of Manchuria again.

As long as you can take a breath, things have not reached the point of despair. Not only Yano Yinsaburo thinks this way, but almost all commanders of the Kwantung Army at all levels and even ordinary soldiers think this way. Jinzhou has become a Kwantung Army unit that has lost its soul. The only place of hope. [

Less than half of the Kwantung Army's troops had already crossed the Nür River, scrambling to be the first. The chaotic, peaceful land suddenly trembled, and on the distant horizon, in the direction of Jinzhou, smoke and dust rose to cover the sky and cover the sun. Living in the midday sun, with a kind of coercion, nerve-destroying coercion, rolling in, and then, there was a muffled sound like heavy thunder, knocking on the already fragile hearts of every Kwantung Army soldier.

All the soldiers of the Kwantung Army stopped moving, and looked suspiciously at the direction of the smoke and thunder. The cold and white saber was like a forest of steel, and then countless war horses shot over like flying arrows. I didn't know it was a Kwantung Army soldier who was insane, and screamed: "The cavalry of the Chinese people!"

Without him shouting, all the commanders and soldiers of the Kwantung Army saw that the overwhelming Chinese cavalry was coming towards them.
