Open an aircraft carrier to fight against Japan

Under the dispatch of Lin Yuan, the soldiers of the first brigade set up a defensive position in the south of Zhangyi Station to stop the Japanese army. Zhangyi Station is very important to Lin Yuan, because all materials are transported through here.

The first brigade was trained by the special forces of the People's Liberation Army. In this unit, many excellent tactical traditions of the People's Liberation Army have been inherited, and the ability to work in the field is one of them.

The so-called soil work, simply put, is to dig bunkers, repair fortifications, and use soil and stones to block the enemy's attack. In the history of the People's Liberation Army, there are many battles that rely on soil work to win, such as the Tashan blockade. Relying on fortifications and trenches in the gentle area, they just blocked the attacks of opponents several times their size.

After the first brigade received the departure order, it knew that this blockade must rely on soil work, because the periphery of Zhangyi Station is flat ground, and there is no terrain conducive to defense.

Difficulties came one after another. They did not have shovels at all. The more than 2000 people in the first brigade each had a shovel, that is, more than 2000. In such a short time, where to find them?

The power of the people's war was manifested at this time. The first brigade raised shovels all over the city, and many nearby farmers sent their own shovels. There were also blacksmiths who took the initiative to make shovels for the soldiers.The shovel cannot be made of cast iron, because cast iron is too brittle and will break when it hits hard rocks, so it needs to be made of tougher steel.

However, the first brigade discovered that the method of steelmaking in blacksmith shops is still the method of frying steel. This method existed in the Han Dynasty 2000 years ago. After the iron ore was fired into molten iron, it was stirred repeatedly to let the The oxygen in the molten iron reacts with the carbon element in the molten iron, thereby reducing the carbon element content in it, and then steel is obtained. The method is good, but it is too slow.

It was Lin Yuan who thought of a way, that is, after smelting cast iron, heat it to a very high temperature, and then slowly lower the temperature. This is a kind of heat treatment method, annealing. After this heat treatment, the iron has toughness and The strength has been greatly improved, so the speed of building shovels is much faster. When the first brigade arrives at Zhangyi Station, there are already shovels in hand.

When the Japanese army recalled the battle afterwards, they said with admiration: "The trenches and fortifications of the Qing army seem to have emerged from the ground overnight!"

The two sides fought repeatedly in less than 5000 meters. The battle was extremely fierce. Many positions changed hands several times. The reinforcements from Liaoyang encountered Liu Kunyi's troops before and did not encounter any resistance. This time they met the first Brigade, it can be regarded as hitting a big nail.

The Japanese army only advanced 1000 meters in two days. It is not the style of the Japanese army to just attack the front. The Japanese army frequently sent troops to flank and turn around. In the plain area, there were no shelters on the two wings, so the first brigade had to divide troops to flank , and the strength of the Japanese army is superior to that of the first brigade, so that the first brigade will be in danger on the battlefield.

It was April [-]th, and the battle outside Zhangyi Station had been going on for two days. The commander of the Japanese army, the commander of the [-]th Brigade of the [-]rd Division, Shangmin was very anxious. He knew that Dashanyan had been surrounded by Fengtian. If he arrives one day late, Da Shanyan will be more in danger of being wiped out. Although Lin Yuan has stopped attacking Da Shanyan's troops, but the scheming Lin Yuan, who knows what kind of medicine he is selling in his gourd!

Dapu Shangmin was only 100 meters away from the line of fire. He hoped that this would motivate his subordinates to capture Zhangyi Station as soon as possible. At this moment, a soldier came to report that Liaoyang had been captured by the enemy!

Dazhao Shangmin quickly asked: "How many enemies are there?"

The messenger said: "A rough estimate is seventy-eight thousand people."

Dali Shangmin scolded angrily: "Bastard, on the entire battlefield, how can Lin Yuan have the mobile force of 8000 to [-] people?"

The messenger hurriedly said: "I heard that Lushun was taken away by the mysterious Qing army two days ago. They may have come from there."

The big force Shang Min slapped the messenger on the face and cursed: "You are talking nonsense. The Qing army even lost its navy. How did they land? Besides, Lushun is more than 300 kilometers away from here, and they can run [-] kilometers in three days. Besides, I am the head of the brigade, why didn't anyone tell me such a big news!"

Before the words were finished, someone came in to report that a mysterious army was found five kilometers behind us.

Dazhao Shangmin was completely confused, he asked: "Mystery? Where is the mystery?" The soldier who reported the letter hurriedly said: "Their uniforms are different from those of the Qing army, and they all have short hair, unlike the Qing army who wear braids. The gun also..."

Dazuo Shangmin roared angrily: "That's enough! Their navy doesn't have a good thing, Dongxiang Heihachiro, how did this bastard get promoted to major general, how could he lose Lushun!" A reserve team was thrown into the battlefield, and they were ordered to block the mysterious troops that came to them.

As soon as the order was issued, a shell was left outside the bunker. This was the first division's sampan gun. Several shells fell on the Japanese position. The Japanese soldiers thought that their artillery had made a mistake. Laughing and cursing, but soon they became silent, because more dense shells fell on their heads.

This is a high-explosive anti-personnel grenade made in Germany, which is specially used to kill infantry. At this time, the Japanese army is in a state of assembly in order to attack the trenches in front of them. A single shell can destroy a squad!

When the Japanese army was in a mess, the First Division had already outflanked it from two directions. Lin Yuan had already notified the commander of the First Brigade. They all knew that reinforcements were coming and rushed out of the trenches.

Although the soldiers of the First Division came from long-distance raids, they were very scientific during the raid. The reason why people feel tired during long-distance running is mainly because lactic acid is produced in the body. When running, the lactic acid is decomposed, and the feeling of fatigue disappears. Modern science has proved that taking a break after running for a certain period of time can effectively reduce the content of lactic acid in the blood, so the soldiers of the first division still have certain combat effectiveness after they arrive.

In terms of strength, equipment, and quality of soldiers, the Japanese army did not have any superiority. Soon they could not hold back. Shangmin knew that he could not go back to Liaoyang, nor could he go to Fengtian. North Korea didn't seem to work either, because going east was going under Lin Yuan's nose. For the present plan, the only way to break out was to go west and join forces with the Japanese army that landed at Liaohe Estuary, and then plan the next step to break out.At this time, the Japanese army who landed from Liaohekou already knew the news of Lushun's fall, and they had no desire to fight immediately, because the rear route had been copied, and if they went to fight Panjin, it would be useless even if Beijing was defeated, sooner or later they would be defeated. Siege!At this time, the Japanese base camp also knew the changes in the battle situation. Originally, Dashanyan's Fengtian was sticking to it, and the three-way encirclement strategy was perfect, but Lin Yuan broke it!

The top priority of the base camp was to withdraw the tens of thousands of Japanese troops trapped in the Liaohekou area. They hurriedly ordered the entire fleet to dispatch, take all the troop carriers, and go to the Liaohekou to transport people.

From Incheon to the mouth of the Liaohe River, there are more than 620 nautical miles, and at the speed of ten knots of the troop carrier, it will take at least three days to travel, and the Qing army is pressing every step of the way. More than 1 Japanese troops are squeezed into an area of ​​several hundred square kilometers. , may be driven into the sea by the Qing army at any time!

At this time, Lin Yuan suddenly ordered to stop the attack on the Japanese army.

After Deng Hong heard this, he quickly persuaded: "Captain, you can't be Hitler!"
