Rebirth of the Republic of China: The Rise of China

After hearing the explanation, the faces of all the officers suddenly showed enlightened expressions.He also showed his heartfelt admiration for the foresight of Jiang Baili, the chief of the general staff, a few months ago.

Just when everyone was discussing with each other, what would happen to the Kwantung Army's impregnable defense line along the river after this air raid.The bombers of the three squadrons had all dropped their bombs, and then, under the escort of two squadrons of Wildcat fighters, they slowly flew towards Dalian Airport and disappeared over the battlefield.

But at this moment, hundreds of artillery pieces of various calibers, which had already been ready to fire, began to roar at the Kwantung Army's defense line along the river in accordance with the combat order.

In the first round, more than [-] shells of various calibers, accompanied by the sharp whistling sound of piercing through the air, quickly passed over the heads of Zhu Shengda and others, crossed the Yalu River, and smashed hard on the Japanese defense line along the river, which was still shrouded in gunpowder smoke.

The dense rain of shells, round after round, poured tons and tons on the Japanese positions as if they didn't want money. [

The heavy bombs were responsible for destroying the solid fortifications along the defense line along the river and razing all the defense lines along the river to the ground.Tons and tons of artillery shells formed an impenetrable bullet net on the surface of the razed Japanese defense line along the river, killing all Japanese Kwantung Army soldiers exposed on the surface of the position...

In order to reduce the losses of the troops crossing the river as much as possible, this luxurious bombardment lasted for half an hour before stopping.

Of course, the stop here does not refer to all artillery.

In order to avoid accidental injury, all large-caliber howitzers and field heavy artillery stopped shooting.After waiting for the Japanese heavy artillery on the other side of the Yalu River to start a counterattack, they will have a duel with the Japanese heavy artillery.As for the mortar with very small shooting error.Still lined up by the river, firing at a rate of ten rounds per minute.Shells were poured into the Japanese positions on the other side of the river.

The large-caliber heavy artillery stopped shelling, and the smoke that shrouded the Japanese defense line along the river finally dissipated most of it.The specific situation of the Japanese army's defense line along the river was also vaguely displayed in everyone's binoculars.

Holding up the binoculars, and looking over at a glance, there are 18 huge craters with a depth of more than ten meters and a radius of at least 30 meters.Like craters on the surface of the moon, lined up.It appeared on the Kwantung Army's defense line along the river on the other side of the Yalu River.

As for the large number of reinforced concrete bunkers carefully built by the Japanese army along the defense line along the river, all those within the scope of the bomb crater were all razed to the ground without even a shadow of the bunkers.Looking around, the defense line along the river that stretches for several kilometers has only gaps between bomb craters.There are still a few bunkers standing alone.Tell the offensive troops of the Ninth Army that the relevant heavy troops of the Eastern Army are stationed here.

"This...>

"Needless to say...>

"Even the reinforced concrete bunkers were completely blown up, not to mention the little devils with flesh and blood...>

"Order the heavy artillery unit, separate out a part of the small-caliber artillery, and quickly create a fire zone two kilometers behind the Japanese army's position on the shore, blocking all Japanese troops that may reinforce the defense line along the river. As for the other part of the heavy artillery, prepare to counterattack at any time and destroy the Kwantung Army Preparations for heavy artillery units...>

"The last one is to contact the air force and immediately conduct uninterrupted aerial reconnaissance on the other side of the Yalu River. And make preparations for the Kwantung Army air force to counterattack..."

As soon as the order was issued, all the officers gathered behind Zhu Shengda immediately scattered away.

In less than a minute, the armored assault battalion, the 1th Division and an infantry regiment had already boarded.Then, escorted by all the gunboats of a gunboat squadron, they took several small landing craft and slowly sailed to the opposite bank of the river.

On the other side of the Yalu River, the Japanese defense line along the river, which had been blown into white ground, was a semi-underground bunker reinforced with a large amount of reinforced concrete. It was very lucky to survive the artillery fire just now.

At the lookout point of the bunker, Captain Dazuo, the supreme commander of the Kwantung Army's defense line along the river, was holding a telescope to observe the surface of the Yalu River and the entire defense line along the river through the thick smoke still rising from the surface of the position.

If you are more careful, you can clearly see that the hands of the captain of the Great Zuo Lian holding the telescope began to tremble unknowingly as time went by.As for the livid face of the regiment leader, it had already turned pale, and then it became frightened, as if seeing a group of devils pounced on him.

Under the cover of this cloudy and ever-changing complexion.The heart of the captain of the Da Zuo Lian was already in pain like an overwhelming river.

An elite infantry regiment under his command, tens of thousands of officers and soldiers worked hard for three months, and consumed a lot of materials from the empire... It was destroyed by artillery fire in just one hour, and there was not even a scum left. [

However, at this moment, there was no time for Captain Dazuo to continue to feel sad.

In his binoculars, dozens of surface ships of various sizes suddenly rushed out from the opposite bank and appeared on the surface of the Yalu River.More importantly, these ships, like sharp arrows off the string, quickly swam towards their defense line along the river...>

"Baga, the cunning Chinese are starting to cross the river...>

"Hi..."

In less than half a minute, a rapid and sharp whistling sound sounded from the sky behind the Kwantung Army's defense line along the river.The whistling sounded for less than three seconds, and the surface of the Yalu River was still peaceful just now.A huge water column up to tens of meters was blown up...>

Maybe it's because of the test firing, maybe it's because the dozens of ships of the Ninth Army are scattered too widely.The Kwantung Army's first round of shelling did not yield results.It's just that a large number of shrapnel scattered from the impact point, leaving little spots on the ship's protective steel plate.

Naval officers and soldiers who have experienced many naval battles against Japan have no worse experience in dodging shells than anyone else...>

As soon as dozens of shells fell into the river, dozens of ships quickly scattered.At the same time, the 12 gunboats responsible for covering the naval guns.He quickly raised his black gun barrel, and under the command of the artillery commander, searched for the Japanese artillery positions and prepared to counterattack.

At the same time, the reconnaissance plane, which has been cruising over the battlefield, quickly found the location of the Kwantung Army's heavy artillery positions along the trajectory of the shells.And for the first time.Pass the bombardment coordinates to the heavy artillery position on the ground through the radio station...

With the help of aerial reconnaissance planes, Zhang Zizhong's heavy artillery unit successfully locked the Kwantung Army's heavy artillery position in just ten seconds.

The 72 large-caliber howitzers that can completely "shoot" shells at the heavy artillery positions of the Kwantung Army, and quickly adjust the muzzle...>

The shells are loaded.Close breech breech, fire...

After a series of familiar movements, a huge roar, like thunder, quickly sounded from the heavy artillery position.subsequently.A total of 72 large-caliber howitzer shells already whizzed through the air.Fly into the sky and fly to the Japanese heavy artillery position.

And at this moment, the artillery of a heavy artillery regiment of the Japanese army only fired three rounds of shells towards the surface of the Yalu River.As for the results of these three rounds of bombardment, they can definitely be called negligible.

More than 100 artillery shells are evenly distributed to the river surface with a length of more than two kilometers, and only one shell can be averaged for every 20 meters of the river surface.In addition, the frontal width of the Yalu River is at least [-] meters.It can be said that if these shells want to hit the scattered gunboats and landing craft on the river, it is tantamount to a blind cat hitting a dead mouse.

Therefore, three rounds of bombardment and more than 100 shells only caused a small price for the attacking troops to injure one gunboat and sink one landing craft.

And just when the Kwantung Army's heavy artillery unit was about to fire the fourth round of shells on the Yalu River again, their fate had already entered a countdown state.

A sharp whistling sound suddenly reached their ears. Hundreds of elite Kwantung Army artillerymen, of course, knew what this sound meant to them.His face immediately turned pale, and he quickly fell to the ground without getting an order from the officer, preparing to avoid the coming artillery attack.

In the entire heavy artillery position, almost half of the artillery officers and soldiers of the Kwantung Army had just lay down on the ground, and the first round of 72 large-caliber high-explosive bombs had already fallen from the sky and landed beside them.

The shell exploded, and waves of scorching air quickly attacked the surrounding little devils.Those who were closer were directly shocked to death by the shock wave generated by the shell explosion, while those who were farther away were dizzy and temporarily deaf from the shock.

Of course, this is only one aspect of the high-explosive bomb's damage to the Japanese army.

A large number of shrapnel produced by the simultaneous explosion of 72 shells quickly formed an airtight bullet net on the surface of the Kwantung Army artillery position, killing all Kwantung Army soldiers standing in front of them. [

The first round of shelling was over, although less than [-]% of the heavy artillery positions were destroyed.However, the loss of up to [-] artillerymen in the heavy artillery positions of the Kwantung Army has been invisible, causing the heavy artillery wing to lose most of its combat effectiveness.

And at this moment, the Ninth Army's heavy artillery unit was fully capable of killing and killing them to the fullest.

The violent explosion had just stopped for less than five seconds, and the sharp and rapid roar of piercing the air sounded again over the heavy artillery positions of the Kwantung Army.

Shells fell like raindrops. This time, the Kwantung Army Heavy Artillery Wing did not have such good luck... >

The artillery shells exploded, and more than a dozen heavy artillery shells piled up together were quickly scattered and exploded.And the dozens of shells scattered in all directions hit the piles of shells on the surrounding artillery positions by a very coincidence, causing a new round of shells to explode...

The artillery shells exploded, round after round, again and again. In less than ten seconds, the entire Japanese heavy artillery position was completely enveloped by huge fireballs rising into the air.Of course, dense black smoke rose from Nuo Da's heavy artillery position.Straight into the sky.

At this moment, although the two heavy artillery regiments of the Ninth Army continued to bombard the Japanese heavy artillery units.but.The heavy artillery position of the Kwantung Army has become a dead zone.

After a large number of shells were killed in the Japanese heavy artillery positions just now, more than half of the artillery positions, together with the artillery, have been blown into a pile of parts.As for the remaining heavy artillery, although it is intact, it has been driven by the scorching air waves generated by the shell explosion.It fell to the ground and cannot be used for a short time.

More importantly, hundreds of thousands of heavy artillery shells exploded at the same time, killing thousands of officers and soldiers of the Japanese heavy artillery regiment in just ten seconds... >

A dead heavy artillery position.In addition to the bloody Japanese corpses everywhere, the soldiers' stumps and broken arms, and the internal organs exuding a strong bloody smell, there was hardly a living life.

The Japanese heavy artillery position was destroyed, and it was heard that the defense line along the river was being bombed by the Ninth Army Air Force, and 24 Nakajima fighter jets from the Sixth Air Division of the Kwantung Army were ordered to come to reinforce it.Gao Zhihang waited eagerly.Appears at the edge of the sky.

As an excellent pilot, melee combat in the air is undoubtedly the battle Gao Zhihang desires most.Facing the menacing Kwantung Army fleet, a sneer quickly appeared on Gao Zhihang's face.

Against a total of 35 pilots in the three Wildcat fighter squadrons under his command.He ordered with a fiery face: "Brothers, you are all the best pilots of our Northeast Air Force. The next air battle is the time to test our combat effectiveness and submit a satisfactory answer to the chief. Now I order... >

"The squadrons, according to the planned air combat plan, two fighters form a combat formation, quickly seize the commanding heights of the air combat, and catch the Kwantung Army Air Force by surprise..."

In a blink of an eye, all the Wildcat fighters of the Second Air Division Fighter Regiment had penetrated into the clouds and disappeared from everyone's sight.

And at this moment, the Kwantung Army was ordered to reinforce 24 Nakajima fighter jets.As if entering the land of no one, he appeared very arrogantly in the sky above the battlefield, that is, the airspace directly below the fighter regiment of the Second Air Division.

"Attention all crews, start attacking, start attacking..." Commander Gao Zhihang ordered excitedly.

Immediately, holding the joystick in hand, he drove the fighter plane, and led the wingmen behind him, like two eagles pouncing on their prey, and quickly flew towards the Kwantung Army's reinforcement fleet with the sharp whistling sound produced by the fighter plane draft.

2000 meters, 1000 meters, 500 meters...

In a blink of an eye, the Kwantung Army's densely packed attack fleet appeared directly in front of Gao Zhihang.

At this moment, because the speed of the Wildcat fighter plane was too fast, the fast Kwantung Army hadn't reacted from the shock.Faced with the wildcat attack aircraft group that fell from the sky and suddenly appeared directly opposite him.The entire Kwantung Army fleet did not make any evasive actions, and still maintained its speed and heading, forming a dense formation and flying forward.

Such a good opportunity to attack, of course the excited Gao Zhihang would not let it go...

Quickly press the fighter's fire button...

Two 20mm caliber machine guns and four large caliber machine guns immediately fired six hot tongues forward.

At the same time, the wingman who followed closely behind him also shot six fiery tongues at the Japanese aircraft group directly in front...

Thirty-six Wildcat fighter jets and more than 36 tongues of fire quickly formed a bullet net directly in front of the Kwantung Army fleet.

The Kwantung Army fleet, which still hadn't reacted from the sudden attack, ran into the bullet net without hesitation, like a group of blindfolded wild horses.

"Boom boom boom... >

The fighter planes that were not attacked quickly scattered away, while avoiding the attack from above the fleet, they were preparing to counterattack.

However, after Gao Zhihang's first round of firepower raids, the comparison of the strength of the enemy and us on the air combat battlefield has undergone absolute changes.

In the two fighter squadrons of the Kwantung Army, there are still 13 Nakajima fighters left...The fighter regiment of the second division of Gaozhi Aviation has 36 Wildcat fighters left.That is to say, in the ensuing air battle, for every three Wildcat fighters of the Second Air Division, only one Nakajima fighter with backward performance of the Kwantung Army can be obtained on average.

Just after a round of attack was over, Major General Gao Zhihang's excited voice of order had once again reached everyone's ears: "Order, each fighter squadron, with the unit as a unit, disperse and kill the remaining enemy planes, and start to act now..."

As soon as the order was issued, a Wildcat fighter jet piloted by Gao Zhihang had already rushed towards a Kwantung Army fighter plane less than one kilometer away from him with a sharp howling through the air.

The Japanese pilot Captain Uchida, who had just escaped by chance, saw a fighter plane rushing towards him before he could react from his panic.As a result, the heart that had just relaxed became tense again.

Although Lieutenant Uchida was very confident in his stance skills, he was sure that the Nakajima fighter jet he was driving was definitely not a match for the opponent's unknown fighter jet based on just a few seconds of firefight and with thousands of hours of flying experience.Therefore, facing the Wildcat fighter that was rushing towards him, Captain Uchida's first thought was not to fight, but to run away quickly.

However, what he didn't expect was that the Wildcat fighter jet could fly at an astonishing speed of [-] kilometers when using its maximum power.And the Nakajima fighter jet that I drove, even if I tried my best, the speed was only about [-] kilometers.According to the distance between the two fighters, at most five seconds, the Nakajima fighter will enter the attack range of the Wildcat fighter.

When Captain Uchida, who was in a state of panic, was driving a fighter plane, he was fleeing quickly like a bereaved dog.Commander Gao Zhihang has locked the shooting targets of two machine guns and four machine guns on the Nakajima fighter.

A dull cannon fire sounded in the air, two thick tongues of flame, and four thinner tongues of flame, lined up, from top to bottom, quickly swept down the fuselage of the Nakajima fighter.

A total of six tongues of flame quickly left three densely packed bullet holes on the Nakajima fighter.

Just when Captain Uchida was driving a fighter jet, in order to avoid the rain of bullets behind him, he made a thrilling evasive action in the air.The right wing of the fighter jet was directly broken into two pieces because of the dense row of bullet holes.

Losing one side of the wing, no matter how good Captain Uchida's piloting skills are, he can't recover.I could only watch helplessly as my landline flew towards the ground like a shell that had lost its aim.
