Travel through the Qing Dynasty and become emperor

Chapter 982 The Abandoned Corner
As night fell, the battlefield not far to the south was booming with gunfire, sparkling flames, and bustling. The bridgehead area, which was the main battlefield during the day, became so lonely at this time. The night swallowed up the smoke of the day, leaving only a few dim bonfires Reflecting black-clothed soldiers lying in twos and threes with their clothes on.

A line of empty trucks pulled up at the head of the bridge with their headlights on.

"Brothers in the army, get in the car, I am ordered to take you to the beach." An officer poked his head out of the car window and shouted enthusiastically.

"Is this back?"

"It's really boring. I just got a feeling that I'm leaving."

"Is Pearl City already taken? Let's at least hit Honolulu as well."

"I haven't killed enough yet!"

"We are the representatives of the army here, how can we just let the navy take all the credit!"

Pearl City West.

Chen Changjie shrank his head from the gap in the ruins, put down the binoculars, and walked to the car, patting the dust all over his body.

"The bridge is hopeless, where is the nearest ferry point?"

Major Mafa Fifth, the staff officer, was leaning next to the chariot, holding a cup of coffee that he did not know where he got: "The downstream of the bridge reaches the sea, and the upstream reaches three or four kilometers east of the Pearl Bridge. Ordinary chariots cannot pass because the river bank is too large. It is so steep that an amphibious combat vehicle may not be able to climb it."

"I am afraid?"

"If you tell me that the tank data is fine, this 'I'm afraid' can be removed."

"Three or four kilometers to the east of the Pearl Bridge, isn't it the No. [-] crossing point of the left-wing detachment? I don't want to go around to the back of the left-wing detachment to add traffic."

Chen Changjie walked back and forth a few big steps with arms crossed, and suddenly clapped his hands, isn't this near the sea?Is there a suitable landing point for an amphibious vehicle to bypass Pearl Harbor? "

Ma Fawu froze for a moment, nodded abruptly and said, "Yes, why didn't I expect that there are some, and they are located about two kilometers away from the outskirts of the Eastern District, probably, here!"

Chen Changjie rubbed his hands excitedly, "Come here, tell the battalion commanders to come here for a meeting."

His plan is simple: the two tank battalions of the headquarters, together with the attached ones, will deploy from the west bank of the Pearl River, and use fierce shelling to attract the attention of the enemy on the other side. The vehicle was launched from the mouth of the Pearl River, entered the outskirts of the eastern district of Pearl City and landed, catching the opponent by surprise.

The only difficulty in the plan is the darkness. Night has already fallen, and the scheduled ferry route and landing point marked on the map are all submerged in the dark night in reality.It is not that there are no electric lights on the amphibious combat vehicle, but it is easy to turn on the lights and sail, and it cannot achieve the effect of surprise attack.

"If you can set up some navigation devices in advance, it may be easier to implement." Chen Changjie rubbed his sore temples, "Little Ma, are you willing to take the risk?"

Ma Fawu smiled and said: "I've been taking risks, you are the leader, just follow your orders."

"Well, you take a small group of amphibious vehicles and set out ahead of the large troops to mark the correct marching route. As for what to use for marking, I haven't figured it out yet."

Ma Fawu raised the kerosene lamp at hand: "Use this, wrap the life-saving gauze around the outside to dim the light, then tie a few floating rafts with your life-jackets, and fix this on it, it can be used as a The night buoy is used."

Chen Changjie's eyes lit up, and he patted Ma Fawu's shoulder excitedly: "This way, I will give you a company of people, and you will teach them how to make buoys. You can choose the vehicles and personnel you want to take."

"Leave it on me." Ma Fawu snapped his fingers confidently.

The preparatory work took less than half an hour. Under the demonstration of Mafa Wu, the company responsible for making the buoys moved swiftly, and quickly set up twenty pairs of night navigation buoys.The water route marked on the map is about four kilometers, and a pair of buoys are scheduled to be placed every 200 meters until they are near the landing point.

Mafa Wu asked for two "crocodile" personnel carriers and a "Spike" support tank. Since this squad will land in the enemy's hinterland, it is very likely that they will be caught in a huge number of troops before their own troops arrive. Therefore, the firepower of each vehicle was specially strengthened: in addition to the two heavy machine guns installed by itself, each vehicle was equipped with three light machine guns and two grenade grenades, and each vehicle had a submachine gun; In addition to adding submachine guns to the crew, "Ya" also tied a few more boxes of grenades and 75 infantry artillery shells outside the car.

In addition, the squad also brought a spare radio and a box full of colored flares for grenadiers.

When everything was ready, Mafa Wu climbed onto the lead "crocodile" and gave a military salute to Chen Changjie: "Let's go first."

"Wait, put this on." Chen Changjie took a helmet and threw it over.

"Thank you, I'm really not used to such hard things."

"The bombardment on the other side is about to start. You go first, and I will personally lead the assault troops to assemble at the seaside later. As long as you give the signal, the large troops will immediately launch into the water. This time we are going to play the tiger's heart and smash them with one paw. Internal organs, if you succeed, I will give you the first credit." Chen Changjie patted his chest and promised.

"There is no need for the first effort. After this battle, liberate Honolulu as soon as possible and save the compatriots trapped there. A few days ago, the U.S. military massacred Chinatown. The entire square is covered with our Chinese blood."

Chen Changjie immediately gritted his teeth and was furious: "How could this happen? Disrespecting his ancestors, what a shitty democratic country, freedom and human rights, I will give him blood for blood! Someone, send an order to the artillery company to fire on the opposite bank immediately, Hit me hard!"

Admiral Scully returned dejectedly to the villa where he had dinner two hours ago.The final counterattack failed, and finally put the dilapidated 5th and 53rd regiments on the battlefield, but watched thousands of officers and soldiers fall into the purgatory of artillery fire under the dazzling daylight created by the opponent's searchlights and flares. An unprecedented shocking and tragic scene that American officers and soldiers have never seen before.

How many cannons are the opponent firing?One hundred doors?Two hundred doors?Such a flash, such a shock, could it be a thousand gates?The sound of machine guns was mixed in the middle, as if a thousand gongs were being struck continuously.

Scully personally led a supervisory team equipped with machine guns in the rear, and finally stopped some of the routs and stuffed them into the trenches of the defensive position.The opponent took advantage of the victory to counterattack. Dozens of tanks lined up in two staggered lines and rushed towards the position with their headlights on. Scully ordered the only nine cannons to aim at the light source and fire, turning several of them into torches. The rest of the tanks turned off their lights one after another and retreated slowly. Then, the position was covered by enemy artillery fire, several cannons were blown up, the hastily dug trenches collapsed, and a scorched arm fell on the ground. In Scully's arms.So the general fled the position during the shelling, and ran all the way back to the villa in his Ford car.

"General, you're back so soon?" Cook was surprised.

"The breakout operation has been postponed. I need to requisition your house as a temporary headquarters."

"Please come in, please come in, in fact, we have prepared a room for you during dinner."

The master's hospitality made Scully feel very uncomfortable. Only then did he notice that the Pearl City area to the west was already in flames.

"Shortly after you left, the urban area became like that. It's terrible. That's how the Chinese hit it back then." The host shook his head and sighed.

As soon as Scully entered the gate, he saw a few more men and women with bandages on their heads in the hall.

The owner chattered and explained: "They came from the city, and they ran to me for help after the shelling started. Although I am not a doctor, I am a devout Christian. God taught us to"

Suddenly, a sharp mechanical friction sound interrupted Cook's sermon, and Scully turned back to the door. The direct light dazzled him so much that he couldn't keep his eyes open.

"Hands up, General, you are captured."

A male voice speaking fluent English came from the opposite side.

Seeing the U.S. general mentioned in the telegram come before him dejectedly, Chen Changjie threw off his chariot cap excitedly: "Xiao Ma, I'm going to ask you for your merit."

Ma Fawu pressed his helmet, shook his head and smiled, "I didn't know that this general would come out sooner or later, but he hit me in front of the muzzle of his gun."

"Less than twelve hours after landing, someone came to capture the thief first and capture the king first. Now you will be in the limelight."

"Everywhere, it's you, the general"

"Let's put this aside, tie him up and throw him in the car, our drama has just begun."

Before marching in, Ma Fawu had already sent a telegram to the headquarters, clarifying the next step of the battle plan, and asked Li Liang's troops at the east opening of the encirclement to coordinate operations, and determined the signal for the start of the coordinated operation, Chen Changjie It was only then that we swaggered around Pearl Harbor and arrived here.At this time, it is time to send out the signal, to cooperate with Li Liang's troops from the inside out, to tear up this piece of cooked fat in the encirclement from the inside to the outside, and eat it up.

The signal was a telegram and four consecutive red flares fired from grenades.At this time, Li Liang's troops had just assembled the mechanized troops that came from the Pearl Bridge, and their strength had reached a full three tank battalions, three amphibious infantry battalions, and more than half of the suppressed artillery of the entire armored army. After receiving Chen Changjie's signal .Li Liang immediately deployed most of the available troops on the front, and used all the attached artillery, self-propelled howitzers and self-propelled mortars to prepare for fierce artillery fire against the enemy's positions. After 15 minutes of rapid shelling, as the three red signal flares rose one after another, several searchlights transferred from the mechanized pontoon company together with the lights of other vehicles illuminated the enemy formation, and the steel wall formed by the chariots slowly followed the beam of light. Moving towards the enemy line, the dismounted mechanized infantry followed closely behind like ants, and drove the enemy out of foxholes and trenches of varying depths with grenades.

At the same time, Chen Changjie's troops were also divided into three. A five-car detachment led by a company commander swept north along the road leading to Pearl Bridge. The remaining amphibious vehicles swept eastward, destroying the last few cannons of the enemy in the encirclement. Chen Changjie personally led the remaining 6 amphibious vehicles to rush westward into the eastern district of Pearl City.The urban area was blazing with artillery fire from the opposite bank, and you could see it clearly without turning on the lights. Chen Changjie led his team straight into a large courtyard on the outskirts of the city. It was the [-]th Army barracks established by the US Army here. It was a mess, with bombed-out vehicles and dying horses everywhere. By the light of the fire, half of the star-spangled flag hanging on the flagpole in front of the field had been burned by the gunfire, and the blackened flag was shaking weakly in the evening wind.
