Rebirth of the Republic of China: The Rise of China

The Sinuiju Combat Command was already prepared to be escorted back to the military court of the Jinan Ninth Army by the military police for trial. Of course, at the very least, Zhang Zizhong was removed from the post of division commander.

Seeing the trusting telegram from Commander-in-Chief Li Guosheng, because I was so excited, my hands holding the telegram began to tremble unknowingly.

Then, facing the direction of Jinan, he said to himself with a firm face: "President, you trust me so much, I, Zhang Zizhong, will definitely live up to the high expectations of the President and win Sinuiju. From now on, for the President The head of the horse is looking forward..."

After finishing speaking, he handed the telegram to the chief of staff behind him, and ordered with a serious face: "Chief of staff, please read to everyone the latest order given to us by the commander-in-chief...>

"Yes...>

After all, the commander-in-chief's trust in his immediate superior meant that, as a partner and subordinate, he would not be excluded after the division seat left.Even one day in the future, he will be favored by the commander-in-chief, and together with the division seat, he will soar into the sky...>

Commander-in-Chief Li Guosheng's order of full confidence in the Sinuiju battlefield was read out by Gao Weichang.After five seconds of silence in the entire war room, a neat response came out: "Please give the order, sir...>

Zhang Zizhong nodded mǎnyi, and with a pair of sharp eyes, he quickly scanned the surrounding subordinates and colleagues.He ordered with a high-spirited face: "Very well, brothers, since the commander-in-chief trusts us so much, then we will take the head of Lieutenant General Lin Xian, the commander of the Japanese First Division, to repay the commander-in-chief's trust in us... "

finished.A pair of sharp eyes, already unknowingly.Transferring to the commander of the artillery brigade, he asked: "Brigade commander Zhang, how many shells are there in the artillery group, and can they withstand the consumption of the next battle..."

"Report sir, there are still [-] rounds of large-caliber heavy artillery shells, enough to consume two hours of continuous shelling...>

"A total of [-] shells. Razed Sinuiju County to the ground, enough...>

Then, facing the artillery brigade commander in front of him, he ordered with a serious face: "Brigade commander Zhang, once the battle against Sinuiju starts, I will give the artillery group an hour and a half to shoot all the shells into Sinuiju." Inside the city. Let’s see if it’s the kid’s flesh and blood that’s the most powerful. Or our steel shells. At that time, there will be two bomber regiments under the First Air Division, two bomber regiments under the Second Air Division, and two squadrons under the Navy. All large-caliber naval guns will all participate in the preparations for this artillery fire. With unprecedented fierce firepower, the various reinforced concrete fortresses built by the Japanese army in Sinuiju for half a year will be blown into ruins, and the entire Sinuiju County will be destroyed. .to be completely wiped from the face of the earth..."

Among the officers standing in front of Zhang Zizhong, not only the commander of the heavy artillery brigade.The infantry generals, including Zhu Shengda and others, were all taken aback by Zhang Zizhong's big hand.

Of course, shock is nothing but shock, these infantry commanders are still very excited and excited about this handwriting.Because, the more fully prepared the artillery fire is, the losses of ordinary infantry during the attack will be reduced to the lowest state after the attack on Sinuiju begins.

......................................................

The first to attack Sinuiju was not the artillery group brought by Zhang Zizhong, nor the air force, but the eight destroyers and cruisers under the naval fleet.

After receiving the order to attack, the six destroyers and two cruisers that had been floating at the mouth of the Yalu River quickly moved up the river and appeared on the Yalu River, which is the closest to Sinuiju.

The naval guns with a caliber of more than 150mm on the major ships quickly took off their gun coats, revealing their own bowl-thin gun barrels, pointing directly at the sky.

The naval battle that took place at the mouth of the Yalu River a day ago ended too quickly.The officers and soldiers of these naval ships had not had time to fire a shell, and the battle was over.The soldiers on the ship who were ready to participate in the battle were both excited and disappointed. Everyone wanted to vent their desire to kill devils in their hearts.

Now, finally have the opportunity to kill the devil, although only shelling the Japanese army.But the faces of every officer and soldier who participated in the battle showed the excitement and expectation from the heart.

Just as the naval guns showed their ferocious faces, these excited gunners have already rushed to their own gun positions, and began to do the final inspection on the naval guns before firing.

"Attention all the naval guns participating in the battle. The target is Sinuizhou County twelve kilometers away. All naval guns are free to fire. Now I order all naval guns to fire immediately..." The temporary commander of the naval fleet held the fleet A microphone specially used for broadcasting, ordered loudly.

"Boom..." Several consecutive deafening roars sounded from the bow and stern of the warship, and the four naval guns fired four rounds at the same time, weighing [-] kilograms, and having armor-piercing performance. Four large-caliber naval gun shells.

The sound of the cannon sounded, and the large destroyer with a displacement of more than [-] tons under everyone's feet couldn't help trembling.At the same time, the bow, stern, and the gun positions of the four naval guns were immediately shrouded in thick white smoke from the shelling. [

Under the shroud of pungent gunpowder smoke, the gunners standing on the gun positions did not show the slightest discomfort.

As soon as the shell of the first method shot out of the barrel, several gunners began to get busy.When the bolt was fired, the shell casings, still emitting bursts of heat, quickly fell from the barrel.Another gunner standing beside him simply cleaned the barrel, and the huge shell held by a machine has been skillfully fed into the barrel under the control of a gunner.Close the bolt and continue firing...

On the decks of eight ships, hundreds of gunners repeated the same action tirelessly, pouring shells at Sinuizhou County, more than ten kilometers away, one after another.

And at this moment, after more than ten seconds of flying, the first round of naval artillery shells finally appeared over the battlefield.

The sharp and rapid whistling sound came from the sky just now.All kinds of hasty whistles began to sound from the Japanese positions in Sinuiju City.moment.The Japanese soldiers who were still scattered on the surface of the position just now were like frightened ducks.Grab your weapon and rush to the nearest bunker and bunker.

When the first round of naval artillery shells roared, it really appeared in the sky above Sinuiju County.In the entire county, except for the reinforced concrete bunkers lined up everywhere, there was not a single kid active outside.

However, what the Japanese army did not expect was that at this moment, what fell from the sky was not ordinary artillery shells, but large-caliber naval artillery shells that could easily penetrate even tens of centimeters thick warship protective steel plates.

Dozens of shells roared down.It was like penetrating sheets of white paper, easily penetrating the protective layer of the Japanese army's concrete bunker with a ground thickness of no more than [-] centimeters, and then an explosion occurred inside the bunker.

Of course, even if the naval artillery shells that did not hit any street fighting fortifications of the Japanese army, relying on their strong armor-piercing ability, they did not explode until they penetrated into the ground at a depth of several meters.

The shell exploded, a scene that shocked all the Japanese troops.Appeared in Sinuiju city.

A juliè explosion sounded from the inside of the bunker hit by naval artillery shells, countless black smoke, flames, and even the broken limbs and arms of soldiers who were blown to pieces.It quickly spewed out from the black hole shooting hole of the bunker.Immediately after, the reinforced concrete bunker, which was still indestructible just now, was already accompanied by a huge roar.began to collapse.

A billow of thick smoke rose from the ground, covering the entire bunker.The bunker, which had turned into a pile of ruins, was instantly enveloped by a large amount of smoke and dust produced by the collapse of the bunker.

As for the shells drilled into the ground.With the sound of explosions that shook the ground, a huge crater with a depth of more than five meters and a diameter of more than 20 meters suddenly appeared in the city of Sinuiju.All the bunker buildings built by the Japanese army in the bomb crater, without exception, were all uprooted and turned into ruins...

"This...>

Yet his snarl, his roar, aroused no sympathy from anyone.Round after round of naval artillery shells, still like rain, continued to fall in the city of Sinuiju, destroying the bunkers built by the Japanese army for half a year.

Not only that, when the naval gun fired the fifth round of shells, it came over Sinuiju again.A dull engine roar, from far to near, suddenly came from the southwest direction above the battlefield.Afterwards, a dense black dot appeared within everyone's field of vision over the southwest direction of the battlefield.

As the dull roar became louder and louder, the densely packed black spots had turned into a densely packed fleet of aircraft.

Two bomber regiments under the Second Air Division, more than [-] Stuka bombers, under the escort of a fighter regiment, more than [-] Wildcat fighters, appeared in the sky over the battlefield.

A sharp whistling sound almost like an air defense alarm sounded over Sinuiju. In the first round, a squadron of Stuka dive bombers rushed towards the small county town on the ground from different directions.

When the ear-piercing whistling sound was replaced by a huge roar, 12 dive bombers, which were almost in a straight line and fell freely, quickly changed their course.After drawing a huge arc in the air, it rushed to the sky again.

Of course, the 36 heavy bombs that accompanied the bomber in the dive quickly broke away from the bomber when the roar sounded, and continued to follow the bomber's original dive route, smashing towards the ground in Sinuiju County.

36 juliè explosions sounded, and the 36 regiments were mixed with a lot of flames, soldiers with broken limbs and arms, and even billowing smoke of smoke, and then rose from the bomb impact point into the air, forming a huge mushroom cloud in the air as high as tens of meters. [

Of course, at the same time as the explosion sounded, more than 30 huge craters with a depth of more than ten meters and a radius of more than 20 meters appeared in the city of Sinuiju.All buildings within the range of the bomb crater, whether it was a reinforced concrete bunker or an original building, were all uprooted and razed to the ground by the huge air wave generated by the bomb explosion.

As for the Japanese officers and soldiers hiding in these bunkers, looking around, apart from a few mutilated corpses scattered among the ruined walls within the range of the bomb crater, there was not a single living officer or soldier to be found.

Coupled with the results of the five rounds of naval artillery shells, in a blink of an eye, the big Sinuiju county town was established.There are hundreds of no-man's land with a radius of tens of meters.And the number of these no-man's lands is increasing over time...

The squadron leader who just witnessed the power of naval guns.Very lucky to be alive again.Seeing dozens of bomb craters in the blink of an eye, I saw the sky.Still dense bomber fleet.A face has changed from calm at the beginning to panic now.Facing the sky, he roared with a pale face.

"Bageya Road, the Chinese firepower is too fierce. If the bombing continues, only the Chinese army has sufficient ammunition, and the entire Sinuiju County will be razed to the ground by the opponent..."

A small leader standing next to the squadron leader has a face.It had already been shrouded in paleness.Facing the squadron leader, he said with a look of horror: "Squadron leader, we...>

The squadron leader, who was still terrified just now, quickly flashed a murderous sneer on his face.As a squadron leader, he allowed his men to be afraid.However, his subordinates are absolutely not allowed to fight timidly.Facing the team leader who just spoke, he asked coldly: "Mr. Xincun, are you scared? Want to be a deserter...>

The squad leader quickly shook his head, and replied: "No, Your Excellency, Squadron Leader. I have no fear... It's just that I would rather die in a frontal battle with the Chinese army. Even on the way to charge. I don't want to be so ignorant died under the enemy's artillery fire, to the end. Not even a complete body can be left..."

The squadron leader didn't have such an idea in his heart, but this process is not something he can decide.

After a long sigh, he said to the team leader in front of him: "Forget it, let's not take this as an example, I hope Mr. Xincun will stop talking about the morale of the troops... >

Having said that, the squadron leader changed his subject and continued to speak: "However, regarding your suggestion, I will immediately report to my superiors. I believe that the Chief Department will definitely give us a mǎnyi answer...>

After finishing speaking, the squadron leader quickly left the shooting hole and walked to the basement of the bunker where the squadron radio station was located.

...............................

The headquarters of the First Division of the Japanese Army located in the middle of Sinuiju County, because the headquarters is located in the basement ten meters underground, the division commander Lin Xianzhong, who is located in the basement, can feel the explosion on the surface. There is a slight sense of shock, but it is not clear that the Chinese army's firepower is preparing to cause huge damage to its street fighting fortifications.

Lieutenant General Lin Xian, the head of the division, closed his eyes and waited for the shelling to end, imagining the scene when the Chinese attacking troops were beaten to death in Sinuiju City.Chief of Staff Major General Miyagawa's hurried footsteps mercilessly woke it up from its dream.

Lieutenant General Lin Xian, who had a bad premonition, suddenly opened his closed eyes.Facing the hurriedly approaching chief of staff, he asked in a deep voice, "Miyagawa-kun, is something wrong again...>

Major General Miyagawa nodded helplessly, and said, "Your Excellency, the commander of the division, the firepower of the Chinese army outside the city is far beyond our imagination... According to the latest casualties statistics from various ministries, the firepower of the Chinese army is as follows: Less than 10 minutes after the preparation started, there are already more than [-] warriors who sacrificed their lives..."

"Nani, five hundred warriors...>

Major General Miyagawa shook his head, and replied: "Master, I can't believe this fact, but it just happened...>

"The reinforced concrete fortifications we built can block heavy artillery shells fired by large-caliber howitzers. However, they cannot block large-caliber naval artillery shells with armor-piercing properties... In addition, the aerial bombs used by the Chinese Air Force , all of them are heavy bombs weighing more than [-] kilograms, and even the Imperial Japanese Air Force rarely uses them. Our fortifications simply cannot stop such heavy bomb attacks..."

"Naval guns, heavy aerial bombs...>

Chief of Staff Rear Admiral Miyagawa replied with embarrassment: "Your Excellency, Commander, you seem to have forgotten that our escort fleet was destroyed yesterday morning under the joint attack of the Chinese Navy and Air Force..."

Lieutenant General Lin Xian, who was still angry just now, suddenly became silent.

Even the Imperial Japanese Navy, Imperial Army Aviation, and Naval Aviation are no match for the Chinese, let alone the Imperial Army, which is completely inferior to the Chinese Army in terms of equipment.

After a short silence, he asked Major General Miyagawa in front of him: "Mr. Miyagawa, according to the current firepower of the Chinese army, how long will the various reinforced concrete fortifications we built in the city last...>

"Two hours...>
