Rebirth of the Republic of China: The Rise of China

Smuggling across the Yalu River

At one o'clock in the morning at night, in the eyes of ordinary people, this is the time when a person sleeps the most. More than 100 special forces members dressed in strange clothes and walking in a hurry are approaching the Yalu River in full armor.

It's okay to say that these people are dressed strangely.Those who have a certain understanding of the German special forces in World War II, as long as they observe carefully, they can clearly see that: without exception, these special forces are wearing the standard diving suits of the frogmen under the German special forces in World War II. configuration.

Wearing the military uniform and diving equipment that frogmen should wear, you don't need to guess, everyone already knows: the special warfare squadron in front of you is the first experimental "sex" frogman in China formed by the special warfare team under the training of German instructors. special operations forces.

According to the training and formation time of the frogman troops, among the frogmen who turned to training in less than two months, the team did not fully meet the requirements of the German instructors.However, inspired by Li Guosheng's words: "The battlefield is the best training ground", the German instructors did not hesitate and directly agreed to the frogmen's participation in the war. [

At the same time, in order to test their training results on the battlefield.The well-trained German instructor not only personally participated in the battle, but also served as the deputy commander of the operation, wanting to win the first victory of this frogman unit after its formation.

As the time passed, under the cover of night, more than 100 frogman special forces lurked secretly in a harbor by the Yalu River without alarming anyone.But at this moment, two short and one long, three clear and crisp telegrams sounded especially ear-piercingly in the night.

at the same time.The command room of the Liaodong Operation Corps of the Ninth Army in Andong City.A communications staff officer rushed into the war room with a face full of excitement.Facing Jiang Baili and others standing in front of the sand table.Panting Hui reported: "Reporting to the commander-in-chief, the frogman special operations force called: the troops have successfully moved into place. Waiting for the specific attack time...>

As soon as the voice of the communications staff fell, the eyes of Zhou Xingguo and Zhang Zizhong, the two deputies, followed closely and fixed on Jiang Baili, waiting for Jiang Baili to issue the latest combat order...>

A pair of eyes full of sharpness quickly scanned the approximate deployment of the troops of the enemy and us on the combat sand table.The commander-in-chief Jiang Baili looked directly at Zhou Xingguo, the commander-in-chief of the former enemy, and asked Zhou Xingguo: "Master Zhou, the artillery unit and the feint attack unit. Have you arrived at the designated combat position as required..."

Zhou Xingguo nodded, picked up a baton, pointed to the position where several red flags were planted on the sand table, and introduced: "Report to attendees: According to the order, the two field artillery regiments have already arrived at the halfway point." I rushed to these two artillery positions secretly a few hours ago. Once the order to attack is issued, the two field artillery regiments will definitely meet with the most violent artillery fire. Launch artillery attacks on the Kwantung Army on the other side of the Yalu River."

"The infantry regiment of my 75th Division, which is in charge of the feint attack, has already moved to this position. As long as the attack order is issued, the infantry regiment, which has been strengthened to a certain extent, will definitely use the most violent firepower to cover and suppress the Kwantung Army troops on the other side. 』All the firepower points that come out. At the same time, all the attention of the Kwantung Army on the other side will be attracted to this area."

Jiang Baili nodded in satisfaction.The solemn face was gradually shrouded in a confident smile.Facing the two partners.With a face full of anticipation, he said: "In this case, let's start... >

"Wooooow...>

The sound of dense shell explosions sounded on the battlefield, and the Kwantung Army's defense line along the river, which was still pitch-black just now, was suddenly illuminated by groups of orange-red fireballs rising into the air.Of course, accompanied by the sound of shell explosions, the Kwantung Army's defense line along the river, the painful wailing and exclamation of little devils, also began to sound one after another like a unique symphony on the battlefield...>

Facing the sudden and violent artillery attack, almost a brigade of little devils in the entire defensive line along the river were beaten into a daze without exception.Until the second round of artillery shells of the two field artillery regiments came to the defense line along the river again.Only then did Zhongzuo Iwamoto, the supreme commander of the Kwantung Army's defense line along the river, react from the sudden shock.

Looking out the window at the positions that had been completely stained red by artillery fire, Lieutenant Iwamoto, who was pleasantly surprised from his sleep, quickly put on a military uniform with the help of his adjutant.After picking up the saber and pistol that symbolized his status and rights, he rushed to the brightly lit war room not far away with horror and worry on his face.

At this moment, the squadron leaders of each squadron also rushed into the war room one after another with horror on their faces, waiting for Lieutenant Iwamoto to issue combat orders.

"Your Excellency Captain, after the observation and judgment of my forward troops...>

To be clear, all the mountain runs of the entire Kwantung Army unit add up, and there are only a handful of two regiments.As for those assigned to them, there was not even a battalion.As for the Ninth Army on the opposite side, a small artillery attack used the artillery fire of two entire regiments.This had to shock and frighten these Kwantung Army officers.

The supreme commander of the defense line along the river, Lieutenant Iwamoto, while shocked, did not forget his duty to guard the defense line along the river.Facing the captain of the captain of the captain, he asked back with a solemn expression.

"With such a fierce artillery fire, is your forward squadron a big loss?"

The face of the squadron leader of the captain gradually became relaxed.Facing Lieutenant Iwamoto, he replied with a look of luck: "Your Excellency, because of your wise decision, the entire forward squadron did not suffer too many casualties in this shelling. The entire infantry squadron, after paying less than 50 people After the casualties, the remaining combatants have all entered the permanent "permanent" fortifications we secretly built in the first place."

Captain Iwamoto Dazuo relaxed his nervous heart.Facing the captain of the captain, he continued to ask: "Yoxi. Very good... >

The lieutenant squadron leader continued to say with a look of rejoicing: "Your Excellency, your decision at the time was really wise. Because all of our fortifications were built secretly at night. The Chinese on the other side don't know the specifics at all, and they don't know the details. There is no specific shelling target. Therefore, the Chinese artillery fire seems to be very violent, but they are all shooting blindly. The destructive power of our defense line along the river has very large limitations...>

Facing the sudden violent artillery fire, a group of officers who were still very anxious and frightened.At this very moment, face the good news.Finally showing a relaxed expression.The commander-in-chief, Lieutenant Iwamoto, was in a happy mood.However, having experienced the offensive and defensive battles in Dalian and knowing the strong combat effectiveness of the Ninth Army, he did not have any thoughts of underestimating the enemy.

After a short thought, he ordered decisively: "Everyone, the temporary victory does not make us have any thoughts of underestimating the enemy. We must know that the strength of the Chinese on the other side is far above us. Therefore, we must be cautious... >

Speaking of this, Lieutenant Iwamoto was full of serious orders, and spit out from his mouth again: "Now I order. All squadrons, enter the position quickly according to the predetermined plan. All squadrons. Before seeing the Chinese troops crossing the river, violence is prohibited. "Expose" all the firepower. Because the Chinese artillery is not something we can compete with."

"Romper...>

More than 1000 Kwantung Army elite.Under the orders of their respective officers, they quickly poured into the defense line along the river.On the opposite bank of the Yalu River, the 75rd Regiment of the 223th Division, which had been preparing for a long time, directly concentrated all the firepower of the whole regiment and shot towards the opposite bank.At the same time, dozens of camouflaged empty ships slowly appeared on the surface of the Yalu River, driven by motors.

Attacked by artillery fire, covered by machine gun fire, dozens of small boats quickly rushed towards the defense line along the river.One after another, the 'facts' were told directly to the Japanese defenders.The Chinese army on the other side, the Ninth Army, which had been invincible in front of the Japanese, was about to start crossing the river.

A Japanese squadron standing at the forefront of the defense line has not yet waited for the order of the captain Iwamoto.In the roar of their respective officers, they began to pour ammunition from the shooting holes to the small boat that suddenly appeared on the river.

And as the small boat faced the bullets it fired, it quickly approached the center of the Yalu River.The mountain cannons concealed inside several permanent firepower points also opened fire in a very timely manner... >

"Boom boom boom... >

And just when dozens of small boats responsible for "offensive" under the Ninth Army were destroyed one after another in the Kwantung Army's mountain artillery.Several mountain artillery equipped with armor-piercing shells were also quickly pushed down to the hidden position by the river...>

Adjust shooting elements, install armor-piercing bullets, aim, shoot...>

There was an explosion, followed by a series of bombardment explosions, followed by the Kwantung Army's line of defense along the river.Needless to say, just from the sound of the shell explosion, it can be heard that the few firepower points just exposed by the little devil's Kwantung Army have been destroyed by armor-piercing shells.

Round after round of armor-piercing shells began to plunder the Japanese defense positions along the river.In less than a few minutes, all the artillery of the Japanese army defending the defense line along the river were blown up into scrap iron one after another, and suffered a devastating blow...>

At this moment, some people may say that the Kwantung Army has lost all its artillery.Why didn't the Ninth Army take advantage of the situation to launch the campaign of crossing the river? It was unnecessary to send an elite team to sneak across the Yalu River.

Here, what I want to say is that although the artillery deployed by the Japanese army along the defense line along the river is gone.However, with the ubiquitous machine gun firepower, no one knows how much the cunning Kwantung Army has hidden.

In addition, the little devil's Kwantung Army's marksmanship is almost like a sharpshooter.Jiang Baili and others dare not imagine that the troops crossing the river boarded the east bank of the Yalu River and had no position to cover themselves in a short period of time.Facing the ubiquitous fire attack on the east bank of the Yalu River, facing ordinary Japanese infantry soldiers like sharpshooters.How much casualties will the entire river-crossing force pay on the east bank in order to occupy a landing point sufficient for follow-up troops to log in.

What's more.There is more than one road from Sinuiju to the front line.Although he has the advantage of artillery fire.However, no matter how fierce the artillery fire.It is also impossible to block several passages for the Kwantung Army in Sinuiju to reinforce the defense line along the river.

Once the battle on the east bank of the Yalu River became a stalemate, coupled with the continuous flow of reinforcements from the Kwantung Army into the battlefield.Facing a possible counterattack by the defenders of the Kwantung Army, the troops crossing the river that had already landed in North Korea were likely to be wiped out.

Therefore, before the Kwantung Army on the opposite bank can completely destroy most of the firepower points along the river defense line, destroy the resistance will of the Kwantung Army along the river defense line, and block the way for the Sinuiju Kwantung Army to reinforce the defense line along the river.Initiating the battle of crossing the river without authorization is undoubtedly a joke with the lives of the soldiers of the Ninth Army.

On both sides of the Yalu River, the bullets fired by the enemy and us are coming and going.Various gunshots.The sound of shell explosions continued to fill the entire battlefield.The Kwantung Army defenders who were "violently attacked" by the Ninth Army, while resisting as much as possible, sent a telegram directly to the Sinuiju headquarters to request reinforcements.

As the battle continued, the attention of all the Japanese troops on the battlefield, and even the attention of the Kwantung Army headquarters in Sinuiju, were all focused on the battlefield.In a deep-water harbor less than 500 meters away from the battlefield, there was a faint wave.Slowly spread from the harbor, and finally, a little bit disappeared on the road of wave spread. [

The frogman squadron, which had been hiding in the harbor for half an hour, looked at the battlefield not far away.Directly with respirator.Sneak into the bottom of the Yalu River, and slowly dive to the other side of the Yalu River in groups.

Perhaps by the warring battlefield.Constantly in the water the impact of waves created by shell explosions.The blisters produced by the respirators equipped by the frogman troops did not attract the attention of the sentinels of the Kwantung Army on the other side of the river.

Time passed by every minute and every second.More and more Kwantung Army troops began to reinforce the battlefield.Japanese troops stationed at the landing site of the Frogman Squadron.Slowly from two squads to garrison, it evolved into half a squad.Under the shroud of the pitch-black night, the looming river bank finally appeared in the sight of the frogman.

"Reconnaissance team, sniper team, immediately kill all the Japanese troops in Jiang'an...>

Soon, more than 30 frogman special forces members began to leave the formation.One step ahead, dive to the river bank.

Maybe it was affected by the battlefield.On this line of defense along the river, which is more than 200 meters wide, there are less than half a squad of Kwantung Army guard posts. They are not as vigilant as they used to be, hiding at each post and observing every move on the river.Instead, attracted by the sound of guns and artillery on the battlefield, they all stood along the defense line along the river, and what's more, they stood directly on the high ground outside the defense line, looking up at the battlefield hundreds of meters away, without any vigilance at all.

And at this moment, under the eyes of these Japanese soldiers.More than a dozen snipers have already raised their sniper rifles pretending to have silencers in their hands.At the same time, more than a dozen scouts also raised their special crossbows for scouts.

"Boom...>

At the same time, more than a dozen sniper rifles equipped with silencers and more than a dozen crossbows fired deadly bullets and crossbows at the same time.

"whoosh whoosh...>

"All targets are cleared, the front is safe...>

Soon, more than 100 frogmen, like ghosts in the night, slowly surfaced and boarded the south bank of the Yalu River...>

With the cover of the night and the sound of guns and guns on the battlefield, more than 100 frogman special forces members quickly passed through the already empty Japanese defense line along the river and disappeared into the vast night.

And at this very moment, Jiang Baili, chief of staff of the Liaodong Corps, finally received the news that the frogman squadron had successfully landed in North Korea while he was anxiously waiting.

"Frogman Squadron, it really is different, well, well played... >

Afterwards, facing Zhou Xingguo and Zhang Zizhong, who also looked happy in front of them, he ordered decisively: "Mr. Zhou, Mr. Zhang, in order to cover up the traces of the poaching squadron sneaking across the Yalu River as much as possible. Order all participating troops to follow the original plan , quickly change the feint target."

Zhou Xingguo, who also looked excited, did not hesitate at all, and assured loudly: "Sit here, don't worry. I promise, once the artillery fire goes down, the Kwantung Army on the other side will not find any clues."

After speaking, the excited Zhou Xingguo rushed to the phone on the table.

"Wooooow...>

The shells exploded, and the corpses of the Kwantung Army who were killed by the digging squadron along the defense line along the river were all, without exception, blown to pieces under such fierce and intensive artillery fire.

Not leaving a complete body means that the traces of these little devils being hit by bullets were completely wiped out by the shells.When the Kwantung Army, which came in hastily for reinforcements, completely entered the line of defense.The frogman squadron that had successfully smuggled across the Yalu River had already disappeared into the vast night.
