Rise from the sword

"Meal hero."

"The former captain of the Xuzhou Gendarmerie, a Class B wanted war criminal, and a reward of [-] tons of gold."

In Ping'an County, at the War Criminals Reward Office outside the Second Battalion, nine gringos stood aside very honestly, watching a few soldiers and a staff member inspect the devil war criminals they had brought.

Dare not have the slightest urging.

He didn't even look sideways at the female staff member in uniform and holding documents.

This is Ping'an County.

It is the resident of the independent regiment.

This group of people is willing to spend gold to reward devils war criminals, even dare to send troops to South America to capture Americans, and directly open fire on the Austrian fleet backed by Britain and the United States. They are just some self-organized bounty mercenaries.

Don't dare to mess with these people.

"confirm."

In the end, the female staff member holding the documents nodded and confirmed:

"It's a food hero."

"On behalf of the people of the Republic of China, I thank you."

Afterwards, the female military staff member expressed her gratitude to the gringos with a clasped fist.

"You're welcome, you're welcome."

The gringos breathed a sigh of relief, and quickly imitated the gift in return.

"Dollar or gold?"

The staff changed their voice and went straight to the topic.

"Gold! Gold!"

The man with the big back said quickly.

These days, during the European war, the Germans are suddenly outrageous, and no one can understand the war situation. The Americans print money like they print toilet paper, and the dollar continues to depreciate. Only fools want dollars.

"it is good."

The staff nodded and immediately walked into the camp, leaving only a group of European and American bounty mercenaries looking at each other.

Such a decisive and neat conversation made several people very uncomfortable.

"They won't renege on their debts..."

A few minutes later, under the nervous and worried eyes of this group of European and American mercenaries, a truck drove out of the camp and stopped in front of them. A soldier came out from the co-pilot and opened the trunk.

"God!"

Several European and American mercenaries suddenly opened their eyes wide.

Inside the carriage were gold bars stacked one after another. The sunlight reflected through the gold almost blinded the eyes of several people.

"Check it out yourself."

The soldier pointed to the gold inside, and then took out a document:
"After counting, sign it."

Under the urging of gold, nine European and American mercenaries worked harder than ever. In a short period of time, they not only completed the inventory, but also moved the gold to their own trucks, and divided the spoils incidentally.

Half an hour later, nine European and American mercenaries left Ping'an County in three trucks carrying [-] tons of gold.

"It was actually given gold!"

"It's still enough!"

The leading man with a big back gritted his teeth on the gold bar in his hand, and the two characters of surprise were written directly on his face.

It's been a long time, and I haven't met such a straightforward boss.

Moreover, it is the boss with absolute advantage, who can manipulate them at will, the kind that they don't have any countermeasures.

In the past, those employers often played tricks when paying, using low-quality national currency to pay, or paying in installments. Once they had no countermeasures, it was inevitable to temporarily lower the price, and even bad debts were common.

According to their thinking before they came, it would be a miracle to get more than 100 kilograms of gold this time.

did not expect···

"This business, happy!"

The big back let out a cry of surprise.

"How many people are there on the list of war criminals?"

Dabei licked his lips and looked at his subordinates aside.

"Currently there are 370 rewards on offer."

There are countless treasures at hand:

"The total bounty is [-] tons of gold. Among them, the highest bounty is Kazuki Yamamoto, the commander of the devils in the subcontinent, with [-] tons of gold, followed by the devil's locust, with [-] tons of gold."

"Most of them are in the devil's native land."

This information is known to the whole world, but most people only use it as a joke or a joke.

"One hundred tons."

The big back bared his teeth.

If he got one hundred tons of gold, at the current price of gold, he would instantly become the richest man in the world, enter the upper class of the United States, be able to influence the political circles of the United States, and become a master.

"pity."

The big back tutted his mouth regretfully.

There is a saying in China that has a big back and a head, and I agree with it-a skinny camel is bigger than a horse.

Although Kazuki Yamamoto was beaten by the Chinese, he still has 10,000+ troops. They were forced to make a living and had to spontaneously form a mercenary army. Before this business, life was tight.

Fighting against the regular army is purely courting death.

The "Meal Hero" just delivered was also due to an unexpected harvest. This old devil planned to hide his name in South America. They didn't know each other. They saw a Japanese and planned to make a fortune, but they didn't expect it to be a big fish .

Unbelievably fat.

The money for the truck and the toll to China are all paid by this old devil.

"Let's go to South America to recruit people."

Dabei raised his eyes and looked into the distance through the shatterproof glass of the car:
"There are very few Japanese war criminals abroad, but there are not many Japanese war criminals in China. The photos on the reward order are also real enough. Let's go and make a big one."

"Correct."

A group of people with red eyes stimulated by gold agreed.

In this business, each of them only received more than 20 U.S. dollars. Although each of them can buy several planes with this money, in the United States, only a small rich person wants to become a master. Where is enough?

····
at the same time.

northeast.

"Where's the boss?"

In a small county town, several big men met in a restaurant. One of them looked at the people he was looking at and asked.

"died."

Another person replied:
"He escaped on a horse and was killed by an eight-way plane. It's the kind of plane with the propeller on its back."

"Helicopter!"

There was a chill behind the rest of the people.

Because of the newspaper propaganda, they knew this kind of aircraft.

This kind of helicopter that can fly over the treetops, has terrifying multi-barreled large-caliber machine guns, is also bulletproof, and is five or six times faster than a horse is terrible. None of the brothers in the cottage can escape the pursuit of this terrible aircraft.

"Xiao Luo and I went to collect the boss' body, but..."

The man stopped here.

The rest were silent.

They know what's behind that sentence.

That kind of helicopter has a large-caliber machine gun, and a bullet can penetrate five or six inches thick bluestone slabs, and it can also kill people hiding behind. Countless brothers have died under this kind of machine gun, and the boss is riding a horse. , was hunted down by helicopters, and was shot by machine guns with thousands of rounds per minute. It is conceivable that including those Dongyang horses that the boss loves most, they may not even be able to find a complete piece.

"did not expect."

Someone looked around:
"A majestic mountain sculpture, unexpectedly..."

"any idea."

Some people are outraged:

"At the beginning when I persuaded the boss to surrender, the boss didn't listen, and he had to pull the brothers to resist. He didn't even think about it. There are eight-way planes and tanks, and they defeated all the devils, and even beat them to the devil's lair. That's what we can deal with. Got it?"

"Hey···"

Immediately, everyone sighed in unison.

Although they did not follow the boss to fight against the Eighth Route Army, but surrendered in private, and they did not commit any major crimes, so they were not shot, and the boss himself is not a good person, but after working with the boss for so many years, more or less Some nostalgia.

Of course, the most important thing is that life is not as easy as it used to be.

"What should we do now?"

Someone brought the topic back to reality.

"I have an idea."

A short-haired man suddenly said:

"Let's go to the devil's land and catch war criminals, as long as..."

"That's the devil's native land, and he's not familiar with the place where he lives. Can we do it?"

Someone interrupted immediately.

Although the devils were defeated and kicked out, the devil's homeland is the devil's lair, and there are probably as many devils there as there are ants. They are so small that they might not be able to make a splash.

They have seen how strong the little devil is.

"This is the old calendar."

The person who proposed to go to the devil's native land raised his tone:

"The little devil is no longer the little devil of the past. Do you know that there are more than 1 tons of bombs dropped on the devil's land every day."

"every day?"

"More than 1 tons!"

A group of people were shocked.

Back then, Eight Routes attacked their cottage, dropping more than a dozen one-ton bombs at one time, and razed the cottage to the ground. For such a big cottage, and the bunker that has been built for several years, the tunnels are all scum, and nothing can be bombed. Not left.

[-] tons per day.

It is said that the little devil's mainland is a few islands, and the area is not large, so the little devil can't sink?
"It's just too much. There are reports in both foreign and domestic news. Even the devil's joint fleet has been wiped out. Now the devil's homeland is just like the Northeast. It's very chaotic."

"hiss···"

There was a sound of sucking air.

"Have you read those wanted lists?"

"Even the worst D-level devil war criminals are worth a hundred catties of gold. Even if they are dead, as long as they can bring their heads back, they can get half of them."

The inch-headed man continued.

"One hundred catties of gold!"

Everyone swallowed their throats together.

"and."

The inch-headed man continued:
"As long as you go to the devil's side, the eighth road will fire guns and bullets. The guns are still German Mauser rifles. The bullets per capita are [-] rounds. There are also hand grenades. If you are good at martial arts, you can even give them Czech-style and flower organs."

"Really?"

Everyone breathed heavily.

Farming, it is impossible for them to farm. They don’t have much money all year round, but they don’t want to work in the construction brigade. After all, they were bandits before, and they didn’t do any big bad things.

Life is hard without money in your pocket.

If someone gives guns, bullets, or even machine guns to make money from the devils, then they are all willing.

Is this the life of a human being who lives in rough food and water every day?It's better to fight, if you catch a Class C war criminal, you can save some food and drink for the rest of your life. If you are a Class C, then the boy will have a bright future.

If you get lucky and catch a B-rank, or A-rank, or even a devil, then you will have prosperity and wealth in this life.

The big deal is death.

When I went up the mountain to fight bandits, I was prepared.

"Walk."

Everyone looked at the inch-cut man in unison.

"Walk."

A few people didn't eat any food, and immediately walked to the nearest military camp.

······
Tokyo.

Underground Prime Minister's Office.

"prime minister."

A staff officer's tone was a little excited:
"The second division called. They have recaptured Waka, cut off the main port for the guerrillas to communicate with the outside world, and even."

Speaking of this, the staff officer even paused for a moment because he was too excited, and his tone changed:
"A large batch of grain was also seized, more than 15 tons, including flour, corn, soybeans, potatoes, etc., as well as some weapons and ammunition, but they were all light weapons."

It is no wonder that the staff is excited. Because of the enemy's bombing, the empire's local food production is only one-third of last year, or even less. Although the enemy has reduced the scale of daily bombing, a large number of farmlands have been destroyed, and the recovery of food is far away.

What the country lacks the most is food.

Even, it is not enough to satisfy the military and the government.

The 15 tons of grain can be said to have saved lives, and it was so timely.

As for light weapons and ammunition, this locust army is not in short supply.

Although industrial facilities have been severely damaged and can no longer produce cannons, aircraft, tanks, and warships cannot be repaired, it is still no problem for those underground arsenals to produce grenades, mortars, rifles, and machine guns, and the ammunition can also meet the needs of the locust army.

"15 tons."

Konoe Fumimaro was stunned.

Seized 15 tons of grain, a small amount of light weapons and ammunition, and recaptured Waka. This guerrilla occupied one of the ports and cut off one of the main channels for the guerrillas to communicate with the outside world. He should be happy.

But recalling what happened recently, Fummaro Konoe instinctively felt a chill down his spine.

The enemy suddenly suspended its large-scale bombing, and instead of continuing to drop that horrible big bomb, it only maintained small-scale air strikes in coastal areas, destroying factories, railways, ports, etc.

Then, nearly a hundred offshore patrol boats were dispatched to patrol and intercept and destroy any ships that dared to go to sea or approach the mainland of the empire, regardless of civilian or military use.

Let the empire become a complete island.

At the same time, large-scale aid to the guerrillas began, and boatloads of food were transported over, which gave the guerrillas the ability to recruit troops on a large scale. At the same time, they increased direct fire support to the guerrillas in coastal areas, but did not go deep into the inland support.

In addition, a large number of foreign militants have also entered the mainland and provided logistics for these militants.

And, he rejected his contact request, and even hinted that he could talk about surrender, but the other party directly refused, and publicly and strongly stated that he would not let any war criminal go.

The combination of these events made Fumimaro Konoe feel the deep malice on the other side.

The bombing stopped because the empire really had nothing left to bomb. Tokyo had become flat, and the rest of the cities were not much better. One can imagine the tragedy of the empire as a whole.

Beginning in June, the opposite bank even began to use incendiary bombs to bomb farmland at low altitude on a large scale, causing a large number of crops to be destroyed.

Those war criminals who are wanted on the other side are all high-ranking officials from the imperial government or the military, those who are actually in power, down to the squadron leader, the captain, and the locust. Everyone is wanted, and the attitude of the other side is that they must die. The possibility of negotiating is forcing them to continue to resist until the end.

A large amount of aid to the guerrillas, knowing that these grains will eventually fall into the hands of the locust army, still continues to aid, even in the name of humanitarian aid, so that domestic food demand is no longer so scarce.

But the conflict between the two sides has been irreconcilable, and they can only continue to fight.

Although the guerrillas fought against the locust army, the locust army could not eliminate the guerrillas. With the entry of foreign militants in large numbers, the entire empire has become a battlefield.

The opponent's idea is obvious - to make the mainland of the empire a battlefield, to keep fighting, to kill each other, until the day the other side doesn't want to.

The fall of Waka this time was obviously given up by the other side on purpose, just to feed the locust army and create hatred, prompting the two sides to continue to kill each other and continue to fight forever.

Otherwise, as long as a few frigates are sent over, the Second Division can be easily forced back.

"Now···"

Taking a deep breath, Konoe Fumimaro looked at the map of the Pacific Ocean, and at the approaching American fleet.

As long as the Americans arrive, as long as the Americans force the other side to retreat, the empire can come out of this corrupt situation.

······
"Old Li...you..."

Zhao Jiayu, looking at the battle plan on the table, the corners of Kong Jie's mouth twitched for a long time, and in the end he only choked out these two words:
"Rough enough."

Regarding the local solution to the devils, Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang came up with a new plan, compared to the repeated bombing, shelling, and even some of the troops clamoring to send a large army to land, it gave Kong Jie a chill down his spine.

The little devil has repeated civil wars for several years, and even a large number of foreign armed forces have joined in, and those domestic bandits and others have also been thrown into it.

This is simply raising Gu.

Even, it has earned a good reputation through so-called humanitarian aid.

"Hey hey..."

Regarding the 'comment' from his old comrade-in-arms, Li Yunlong smiled:
"Just tell me this move, okay?"

"have to say."

Kong Jie's tone changed:
"This move, supported by labor and management, is simply too damn appropriate, and it looks exciting."

"Hahaha···"

Li Yunlong laughed triumphantly.

"correct."

Before Kong Jie left, he asked Li Yunlong:

"American fleet, what are you going to do?"

Nearly a hundred elite battleships from the United States are coming aggressively, forcing the Republic of China to retreat, planning to take back Guam, and even accepting Japan's surrender. The specific attitude of this matter has been made clear, but the actual process is determined by this dog.

"I've had someone call a press conference."

Li Yunlong snorted coldly:
"Any ship approaching within [-] kilometers of Guam must report, otherwise it will be sunk immediately after a warning fails."

The "Bawang" anti-ship missile with a range of 750 kilometers gave Li Yunlong the confidence to be invincible. No matter how the United States plays, as long as one dares to approach, one will not even think about leaving.

·····
Cotentin Peninsula.

Cherbourg.

After more than a month of continuous construction day and night, Cherbourg has been restored to its pre-war state and has become an excellent port again. It has even expanded and used some new technologies, such as the roll-on-roller technology invented by the Republic of China. It has greatly accelerated the loading and unloading speed of tanks, cars, and armored vehicles, reaching a daily throughput of more than 30 tons.

This throughput is enough to meet the needs of 500 million troops on the front line.

And it is still increasing rapidly.

August 22st.

On this day, as always, Liberty ships, ro-ro ships transformed from other ships, and even ro-ro ships purchased directly from the other side continued to arrive at Cherbourg.

Although American industry is invincible in the world and deserves to be number one in the world, it still takes at least a year and a half to build a new ship, even if the design drawings and all the technical details are bought, so I chose to renovate the old transport ship, and Direct purchase.

With the assistance of new port machinery, tons of materials, tanks, and trucks were unloaded from the ship.

Today, though, a huge tractor that came out of the roll-on-rollers caught everyone's attention.

This tractor has many wheels, a large front and a long cart.

A thick, long gun barrel was fixed on the long pallet. Even the port workers who had seen the assembly of the Iowa-class battleship stared wide-eyed.

"How big should this caliber be..."

The port workers all guessed together.

The gun barrel, which is almost flush with the flat plate of the trailer, is I don’t know how thick it is for the Iowa class. It is estimated that it is one meter thick—that is, the gun barrel is one meter thick? !

Immediately afterwards, another huge trailer pulled a thick gun barrel, and behind it, another one followed.

Everyone looked at the three giant cannons going away, and continued to guess in their hearts the caliber of the cannons and the size of the shells.

······
The day.

Cherbourg, inside Eisenhower's office.

"General, the three-door little David has been unloaded and can be put into the battlefield at any time."

A staff officer reported to Eisenhower:
"The first batch of [-] new heavy-duty ground-penetrating aerial bombs have also been put into storage, and there are also [-] tons of [-]-ton Daman armor piercing bombs that have also been put into storage, ready to be put into combat use at any time."

"very good."

The general on the sofa seat had a very satisfied expression on his face.

The Germans were reinforcing their anti-aircraft towers and increasing their firepower, but the Allies were not left either.

The weight of the new heavy-duty ground penetrating projectile has not been greatly increased, and it can still be thrown by a dive bomber. The armor-piercing ability is increased by 30.00%, and the accuracy is also higher.

With a caliber of [-] mm, the largest caliber artillery in history, Little David, has also officially entered service. After testing, this artillery can penetrate [-] meters thick concrete with [-] kilograms of heavy-duty armor-piercing projectiles, which is enough to attack the side of the air defense tower. The wall poses a deadly threat.

In addition, the heavy-duty Daman armor-piercing bomb has also passed the test and entered service. This ten-ton bomb can even pose a threat to super-giant air defense towers.

In the world, there is no defense that cannot be broken.

"Notice to go on."

Eisenhower stood up:
"Hold a battle meeting."

Time to attack.

After taking Cherbourg, the subsequent Germans did not have fortress groups, but nodes composed of anti-aircraft towers.

"Yes."

The staff immediately went to notify.

···
at the same time.

Paris.

The old fox commanded the room.

"Judging from the situation against Cherbourg, they are going to attack."

The old fox's tone was relaxed.

Although they withdrew from Cherbourg, they left behind a lot of nails, which were not all removed by the Allied forces, so they could quickly learn about the situation in Cherbourg.

Through the analysis of troops, equipment, and logistics, it is not difficult to get an approximate attack time.

Of course, this also has something to do with the fact that the Allied forces did not have concealment. Facing the Siegfeller defense line based on the anti-aircraft towers and the well-prepared German troops, the so-called surprise attack was meaningless, and the two sides were competing for hard power.

"Three thousand fighter jets have been prepared and are ready to support at any time."

Kesselring, who came here rarely, said:
"Although we can't win all the air supremacy, there is no problem in assisting the armored forces to attack."

"very good."

The old fox continued to smile, with a relaxed tone.

This time, he does not intend to continue the medieval war game with the Allies in which one side defends and the other side attacks. This is the age, and this mode of warfare has long been eliminated.

Tanks and mobility are at the heart of modern warfare.

At this time, he held an armored force equipped with 5 tanks, including [-] cutting-edge No. [-] tanks, [-] armored vehicles, transport supply vehicles, and more than [-] trucks to assist mobility.

There are also three thousand fighters for cover.

Taking the anti-aircraft tower as the node, give full play to the powerful offensive capabilities brought by the high mobility, high protection, and high firepower of the armored forces, cooperate with the super-strong firepower and supply capabilities of the anti-aircraft tower, and use elastic defense tactics to consume the offensive power of the allies.

····
the next day.

Cotentin Peninsula.

Camp of the [-]st American Armored Division.

"gather."

Following the order of the division commander, more than 300 latest M26 Panxin quickly assembled and lined up.

It was already late August at this time. This Sherman follow-up model, the m26 Panxin tank, which is currently classified as a heavy tank, has entered service in the army, but because of the output and multiple changes to the requirements, the mobility and reliability have been strengthened. To deal with the new German No. [-] tanks, up to now only the First Armored Division and the Third Armored Division have all been refitted.

When the First Armored Division was mobilizing for the final battle, nearly one million troops on the vast Cotentin Peninsula also started the final mobilization before the battle at the same time. The commander spoke and the priest prayed.

Thousands of tanks started their engines.

In the farther Normandy area, in field airports, bombers are hanging bombs.

On the main road, three huge artillery pieces also entered the front line under the cover of a regiment.

"attack."

Half an hour later, Eisenhower gave the order to attack.

·····
at the same time.

The Pacific Ocean.

"We are now [-] kilometers away from Guam."

Inside the Iowa-class, the flagship of the Pacific Fleet, a staff officer reported to Nimitz.

"Keep going."

Nimitz didn't hesitate.

At this time, what was placed on his desk was a telegram, the content of which was the content of yesterday's Pingan County press conference - any ship approaching within [-] kilometers of the station must be notified in advance, otherwise it will be attacked immediately. Shen.

"After two hundred kilometers, the escort fighter jets and reconnaissance planes took off, and all the anti-aircraft guns were ready for battle."

Although he didn't hesitate at all, Nimitz was still prepared to deal with it.

Following Nimitz's order, the four Iowa-class battleships took the lead and sailed towards Guam, and behind the four battleships were twelve Essex-class aircraft carriers guarded by destroyers and light patrols.

····
White House.

"President, General Eisenhower is calling."

In the White House, a secretary reported to Mr. President:

"The attack has begun."

"Mr. President, Nimitz is calling. They are only [-] kilometers away from Guam."

"understood."

Mr. President took a deep breath, and then let it out heavily.

This breath caught the attention of Vice President Truman, and also the attention of the president's personal doctor.

They heard the mood of Mr. President.

tension.

very nervous.

"Order Nimitz, keep in touch at all times, and report to me every half hour."

Mr. President ordered.

At this time, there was also a detailed copy of the press conference in Ping'an County yesterday on his desk.

·····
"political commissar."

Also at the same time.

Ping'an County, spacious, bright, and simple, only Zhao Gang's office full of bookshelves, the monk walked in:

"You have something to do with me?"

The monk was on vacation today, so he went back to Ping'an County for a play, thinking if he could meet Boss Chen's subordinates, and then learned two tricks. When he walked through the office, he was called in by Zhao Gang.

"Go and send a document to the Independent Daily."

Zhao Gang took out a document from the drawer under the desk:
"Let them be on the front page tomorrow."

"Yes."

The monk frowned, a little surprised.

What kind of information did you ask him to send?
Although the monk doesn't care much about his position, but the unique position of the special operations team and the identity of the founder of the special operations of the army, he is currently well-known in the independent regiment and even in the army.

"You can watch."

Zhao Gang saw the monk's curiosity.

The monk opened the unsealed file bag, and he saw the cover of the file——

Technology and the future.

A detailed description of a super weapon.

The top-secret Manhattan Project declassified in the United States.
