Rebirth of the Republic of China: The Rise of China

God help

It's also one o'clock in the morning at night.

However, it was different from last night's relaxation.In today's battle, Jiang Baili, the commander-in-chief of the Liaodong Corps, directly led Zhou Xingguo and others to the forefront of the battle of crossing the river.And the Liaodong regiment headquarters were moved together to a highland less than two kilometers away from the Yalu River.

Standing on this high ground, as long as there is light, Jiang Baili and others, who are the commander-in-chief of the entire battle of crossing the river, can completely look down on the entire battlefield through binoculars, and command the battle more accurately.

At this moment, Jiang Baili, the commander-in-chief of the Liaodong Corps, was standing at the lookout of the headquarters, holding a telescope, searching for something on both sides of the dark Yalu River two kilometers away. [

However, to Jiang Baili's disappointment, it was under the pitch-black night.Wherever I looked, except for the pitch black where I couldn't see my fingers, it was still pitch black, and there was basically no valuable discovery...>

The commander-in-chief Jiang Baili, who hadn't gained anything, heaved a long sigh and was about to return to his position.A burst of rapid phone ringing broke the quiet atmosphere of the headquarters. Two minutes later, Zhou Xingguo, the direct commander of the entire battle across the river, appeared behind him with an excited smile on his face.

Facing Jiang Baili who was still calm, he reported excitedly: "Sit, good news: the Corps is directly under the large-caliber howitzer regiment, the two main divisions are under the field artillery regiment, and the six mountain artillery battalions under each infantry regiment , all preparations have been made...>

Jiang Baili nodded.A face rarely showed a gratified smile.He praised Zhou Xingguo: "This method is good...>

Then, as if thinking of something, he continued to ask Zhou Xingguo, "Mr. Zhou, did you send the map sent back by the frogman squadron to the howitzer regiment...>

Zhou Xingguo nodded, and responded confidently: "It has been sent to the head of the howitzer regiment Liu. Head Liu said: because the map drawn by the frogman squadron is very detailed, the howitzer regiment can guarantee the first hit. At most Ten rounds of salvo can destroy all the machine gun bunkers built by the Kwantung Army on the other side...>

"In addition, the frogman squadron also sent a telegram. During the bombardment, the frogman squadron will send several artillery observation teams as close as possible to the Japanese positions. Guide the artillery to the specific target of the bombardment. In the shortest time, destroy all the permanent defense lines of the Kwantung Army along the river. "Sexual" fortifications...>

After Zhou Xingguo's introduction, a firm expression immediately enveloped Jiang Baili's face.Facing Zhou Xingguo and Zhang Zizhong who looked forward to it.Decisively ordered: "Very well, since this is the case, order all participating troops. Follow the predetermined plan... >

Several mountain artillery battalions, three heavy artillery regiments...>

Maybe it's because I successfully blocked the Ninth Army's attack last night.In the eyes of these proud soldiers of the Kwantung Army, the Chinese army, who had experienced a pale experience once, would not repeat the same mistakes and continue to attack themselves across the river at night, almost to death, without the slightest meaning.

Soldiers have this idea...>

At this moment, the only thought in the hearts of the two of them is: to use the "results" of last night to complete their goal of promotion.I never thought about whether the Ninth Army on the other side would launch a new round of attack tonight.

Of course, even if they had this idea, they would not pay special attention.

In their eyes, relying on a large number of secret machine gun bunkers along the defense line along the river, it is enough to block all Chinese troops crossing the river. .

If it was a day ago, this result might have actually appeared.However, because of last night's battle, because of their gambling and greed for merit.Let the frogman squadron under the Ninth Army successfully smuggle across the Yalu River and successfully steal all military secrets along the defense line along the river.And losing these military secrets means that the Japanese army along the defense line along the river will lose their only reliance.

At that time, facing the crazy shelling of the Ninth Army on the other side, facing the dense rain of bullets from the Ninth Army.The more than 1000 devil soldiers standing on the defense line along the river will be completely exposed to these firepower.

The commander-in-chief of the Kwantung Army's defense line headquarters along the river, which was also brightly lit, was reading a telegram from the commander-in-chief of the Kwantung Army with a burning face.

The commander-in-chief, Lieutenant Iwamoto, hadn't finished watching yet, and the chief of staff, who was also looking hot beside him, seemed to be a little impatient.Facing Lieutenant Iwamoto, he asked expectantly: "Commander, what did the headquarters say...>

As soon as the words fell, a trace of excited smile appeared on Zhongzuo Iwamoto's face.Facing the chief of staff, he opened his mouth and said: "Chief of staff, your wish and mine have come true...>

While the chief of staff was excited, he didn't forget Lieutenant Iwamoto who was standing in front of him and who was about to be promoted to the rank of Colonel.Facing Lieutenant Iwamoto, he complimented Lieutenant Iwamoto with excitement: "Congratulations, Your Excellency Commander, in a short time, Your Excellency Commander will become a senior officer of the Empire of Japan...>

"Same hi...>

Afterwards, he raised the telegram in his hand and continued to speak: "However, Chief of Staff, we are happy. We must not forget our responsibilities. Your Excellency the Commander-in-Chief said that before the domestic military department approves, anything is possible. There are variables. The only thing we need to do now is to defend the defense line along the river, so that the domestic military cannot find any "fault"...>

Of course the chief of staff knew the importance of being promoted to the rank of Lieutenant Assistant, so he quickly responded knowingly: "Your Excellency Commander, please rest assured, the humble officer will definitely assist Your Excellency Commander and guard the line of defense along the river...>

When the supreme commander of the Kwantung Army along the defense line along the river began to look forward to his future.There was a series of sharp whistling sounds, like thunder.Wake them up from their dreams.

After experiencing the shelling last night, Lieutenant Iwamoto stood up from his seat like a frightened rabbit.Facing the chief of staff, he subconsciously exclaimed: "The shelling, the Chinese shelling has started again...>

Then, he thought of the telegram he had just received.For the upcoming masterpiece rank.Facing the chief of staff who also looked shocked in front of him, he ordered decisively: "Chief of staff, it doesn't matter whether the Chinese are really attacking us or not. Our purpose is only one: In order to promote the rank of the first rank, things will not change, and we will resolutely hold the defense line along the river. ...>

The Chief of Staff nodded understandingly.He opened the mouth and said: "Please rest assured, the commander-in-chief. No matter what the purpose of the Ninth Army is, I will definitely hold the line of defense. I will not let the other party cross the Yalu River alone... >

With expectations for his future, the chief of staff quickly rushed to the defense line along the river that had been completely enveloped by artillery fire.

Maybe it was the impact of last night's shelling.The first round of artillery fire on the other side of the Yalu River has just hit.The Kwantung Army concealed everywhere along the defense line along the river, except for the necessary guard posts in the position.The remaining officers and soldiers.Without exception, they all rushed to the nearest artillery hole or reinforced concrete bunker to prevent themselves from being killed by the artillery fire of the Ninth Army.

However, what all the Kwantung Army did not expect was.In today's shelling, whether it is the whistling of shells across the sky or the sound of shells exploding, there are obvious differences compared with yesterday.

One of the 36 rounds of armor-piercing bullets in the first round, with a sharp whistling sound, seemed to have eyes, and hit a machine gun bunker very accurately.Coincidentally, this machine gun bunker, which hides half an infantry squad, is located less than 100 meters in front of the chief of staff of the Kwantung Army's forward troops.And the scene where the entire machine gun bunker was destroyed was completely exposed in front of the chief of staff.

If it is an ordinary high-explosive bomb, even if it hits a machine gun bunker made of reinforced concrete, it can only leave a white spot on the periphery of the machine gun bunker.

However, what this machine gun bunker is facing now is not an ordinary high-explosive bomb, but a large-caliber armor-piercing bomb with armor-piercing ability.

The high-speed shells, like hitting a piece of paper, penetrated the reinforced concrete shell of the machine gun bunker with a thickness of more than [-] centimeters without any accident, and penetrated into the inside of the bunker.

Then, a violent explosion sounded directly inside the machine gun bunker.

The entire machine gun bunker, like a goddess scattered flowers, was suddenly blown into a pile of ruins from the inside to the outside.

Of course, half of the infantry squad hidden inside the machine gun bunker, more than [-] elite Kwantung Army soldiers, were all blown to corpses without exception... >

Looking at the machine gun bunker that was suddenly destroyed in front of him, the chief of staff was stunned, as if seeing something that would never happen.

After five seconds of astonishment, he opened his mouth and asked incredulously: "How is it possible, how can the Chinese shells penetrate the reinforced concrete bunker... How is this possible, it must be my eyes. Flowers, it must be like this... >

After finishing his sentence, the chief of staff stared directly at the pair of eyes, and began to observe the impact points and explosion effects of other shells.

I don’t know if I don’t see it, I’m shocked when I see it...>

Except for the machine gun bunker in front of him, which was instantly blown into ruins.In other places within his field of vision, there are three machine gun bunkers, which have become a pile of ruins just like the machine gun bunker in front of him.As for the elite of the Kwantung Army hiding in the bunker, it is easy to know that at this moment, they have turned into corpses.

Of course, this is not the most important thing.Within the range of his own field of vision, there is an entire artillery hole that can hide an infantry squad.It was blown up by shells.

A small unit of the Kwantung Army's elite hidden in this bomb defense cave, without exception.All of them were buried alive in the bomb defense caves, and their lives and deaths are unknown...

"Wooooow...>

The sound of sharp artillery shells piercing the air just sounded, followed by the exclamation of a guard behind him, followed by his ears: "Your Excellency, Chief of Staff, be careful...>

Before he could finish his sentence, the sound of dense shell explosions reached the chief of staff's ears.Of course, the chief of staff, who was still standing in the trench just now, quickly fell to the ground under a strong push.then.The guard who had just been reminded was pinned down in the trench, unable to move.

It turned out that one of the armor-piercing shells of the howitzer regiment's second round of shells happened to fall less than ten meters away from him.If it weren't for the desperate rescue of the guards behind him, at this moment, he, like the guards behind him, might have directly turned into a corpse.Yin and Yang are separated.

The guard exchanged his own life for the chance to survive, and the chief of staff turned his attention after less than two seconds of sadness in his heart.Put it back on the battlefield of artillery fire.

The howitzer group "fired" the huge results achieved by the second round of armor-piercing projectiles, which once again surprised the Chief of Staff...>

Because, in this round of shelling.There are a total of five machine gun bunkers and one anti-bunker hole.He was hit again by dense and powerful shells.Of course, all the machine gun bunkers that were hit.Without exception, all were blown into a pile of ruins by this powerful shell...

Two rounds of artillery strikes destroyed the nine machine gun bunkers and two anti-bunker holes that he relied on for survival...>

Without machine gun bunkers and anti-bunker holes, how can I block the attacking troops of the Ninth Army...>

Of course, while being terrified, a little bit of confusion followed, and it came to the mind of the chief of staff.Looking at the shells that hit the target continuously and exploded in front of them.The chief of staff said to himself: "No, when did the Ninth Army's artillery fire become so accurate, it seems to have eyes...>

"The shelling last night and the consumption of thousands of shells allowed the Ninth Army to destroy less than one-tenth of our machine gun bunkers along the river defense line. Now, only two rounds of artillery strikes have destroyed almost one-fifth of our Machine gun bunker. What the hell is going on...>

Speaking of this, the chief of staff shook his head in direct negative, and said: "Impossible, absolutely impossible. Our machine gun bunkers are all built at night. It is impossible for the Ninth Army on the other side to know. In last night's bombardment, the Ninth Army would not have achieved such dismal results...>

"Since it is impossible for the Ninth Army to obtain the deployment map of our machine gun bunker, then why did their artillery fire suddenly become so accurate...>

He didn't realize at all that because of his "gamble", an elite subordinate of the Ninth Army had already lurked behind him, and as the eyes of the artillery, he commanded the artillery and was the chief of staff who kept destroying one machine gun bunker after another.We can only attribute the facts in front of us to the help of gods in the artillery unit of the Ninth Army.

In front of him, a bunker with a machine gun was instantly blown into ruins.The chief of staff didn't dare to stay in the slightest, so he turned around and rushed to the headquarters behind him.

In the headquarters, Commander-in-Chief Lieutenant Iwamoto's face was also not very good-looking.

At the same time as the explosion sounded, in order to understand the battlefield situation more quickly.The commander-in-chief, Lieutenant Iwamoto, walked directly to a commanding height outside the headquarters and began to observe the situation on the battlefield.

I don’t know if I don’t see it, I’m shocked when I see it...>

Under the reflection of the flames produced by the shell explosion, the results of the second round of armor-piercing shells of the Ninth Army, without exception, were all displayed in the eyes of Nakazuo Iwamoto.

Seeing the chief of staff rushing in front of him, Zhongzuo Iwamoto asked solemnly: "Chief of staff, what is going on at the front line? Why is the artillery fire of the Ninth Army so accurate? Even the Imperial Japanese Artillery , it is impossible to reach their level...>

The chief of staff also shook his head in embarrassment, and said, "Your Excellency, I don't know about humble positions...>

"Otherwise, without knowing the deployment plan of our machine gun bunker, why is there such an accurate shell hit rate...>

"This...>
