Open an aircraft carrier to fight against Japan

After Li Yonglong's order, the tank troops immediately retreated to the north and returned to the camp. The Japanese army did not chase after them and withdrew to their own camp. Sakuragi Kazuyoshi, the captain of the Second Japanese Battalion, immediately found Kumamoto Masaichi as soon as he returned to the barracks, and reported in panic: "Captain, the Chinese's main artillery tank has something new."

Masaichi Kumamoto said, "What's new?"

Sakuragi said in a hurry: "Magic Cannon!"

Kumamoto frowned and asked, "Magic Cannon? What is that?"

Sakuragi said kindly: "It's a terrible artillery that can hit our tanks at high speed!"

Kumamoto said angrily: "What? There is such a thing?"

Sakuragi said helplessly: "I can't believe this kind of thing is real, but it just appeared and destroyed our main artillery tank!"

Masaichi Kumamoto hurriedly said to the staff officer Yoshizawa Tadayong: "Hurry up and call the technical squadron leader." Motoshin Inoue, the technical squadron leader, came in a short while, and Kumamoto Masaichi said: "The Chinese people have a new 'devil' again." Cannon', which can hit a target while traveling at high speed, do you know what this thing is?"

Motoshin Inoue thought for a while and said, "Could it be that the Chinese people used the 'gyroscope' on the main gun?"

Kumamoto asked hurriedly, "What is a gyroscope?"

Motoshin Inoue said: "I can't understand a few words. The gyroscope is a kind of magical thing. It can be used to stabilize things. This kind of thing has appeared in the Ryukyu Navy Technology Exhibition. It was originally used in naval ships. I didn’t expect Lin Yuan to use it on a tank.”

Kumamoto said angrily: "You know this kind of thing, then our domestic experts must also know this kind of thing! Why is this kind of thing not used in our main artillery tank?"

Inoue Motoshin said: "This kind of thing is easy to say, but it is very difficult to manufacture. The first is the machining accuracy. If the machining accuracy is not high, there will be a large error, which will have a greater negative impact on the main gun. The second is The complex computing circuits are helpless for these experts in our country, and they don't even have the basic theory to solve the problem."

As soon as Kumamoto heard these words, he slapped the table fiercely, and said angrily: "They told me before that our main artillery tanks are very advanced, and it is easy to sweep the main artillery tanks of the Chinese people. Now it seems that those are all Deceitful nonsense!"

Motoshin Inoue said on the side: "Captain, those people in the weapons factory couldn't believe it. You know, they do everything for money, unlike us, for the long-term military fortune of the Great Japanese Empire and the prosperity of the world." !"

Kumamoto waved his hands again and again, and said: "Okay, it's useless to say these now! Immediately send a report to General Nogi, report the battle situation here, and let him make a decision!"

Nogi Noki received a telegram from Masaichi Kumamoto, and was taken aback when he saw the description of the performance of the Chinese main artillery tank. He thought to himself: "I was also deceived by those guys from the arsenal. They assured me by patting their chests, The main artillery tanks they produce are larger than those of the Chinese, and the barrels are longer than those of the Chinese, so they can definitely defeat the main artillery tanks of the Chinese, but only when we fight do we realize that we are so far behind the Chinese!"

Nogi Xidian couldn't help frowning, thinking: "What should I do now? The best way is to retreat, but I just rejected Ito Hirobumi's retreat order. Wouldn't it be a slap in the face to retreat now! Not only me, but the entire army The Ministry of Defense and the Army Staff Headquarters will be ridiculed by civilian officials, and the Naval Staff Headquarters will even laugh at our army for being idiots!"

"No, absolutely not, we absolutely can't retreat! The only way now is to stick to it. As long as we stay in Kaishan for a long enough time and the price of attacking Lin Yuan is high enough, we can force Lin Yuan to accept our conditions! We retreat with dignity."

Nogi Nozomi made up his mind, and immediately sent a telegram to Kumamoto Masaichi, ordering Kumamoto Masaichi's department to hold out, to kill Lin Yuan's troops as much as possible, and to create favorable conditions for the negotiations. At the same time, he ordered Mizuki Nagata in Beijing to actively negotiate with Lin Yuan Negotiate and seek a decent way to withdraw troops.

When Mizuki Nagata went to see Lin Yuan, he was turned away. At this time, Lin Yuan had already decided to fight North Korea, and he didn't even care about Mizuki Nagata's summation. Mizuki Nagata, who was hit by a nail, sent a telegram to Nogi Nozomi, cursing The people of China were arrogant and rude, and Nogi Xidian thought helplessly: "This is the way this world is, whoever is powerful can be arrogant! Weren't we also very arrogant to the people of China at the beginning? Alas, 30 years in Hedong and 30 years in Hexi, now China People are different from before, maybe no one will dare to call them Chinese people anymore..."

Seeing that Mizuki Nagata was disgraced by Lin Yuan, Nogi Xidian could only pin his hopes on Kumamoto Masaichi's defensive operations, and Lin Yuan also knew very well that if he wanted to attack North Korea, the first step was to kill Kumamoto Masaichi. He ordered Lu Xinghua to intensify his attack on Kumamoto Masaichi, and at the same time ordered other troops of the Seventh Division to move to Kaishantun to attack Kumamoto Masaichi.

Lu Xinghua knew very well that if he wanted to annihilate the Japanese army, he must first destroy the anti-tank trenches outside the Japanese barracks. The Seventh Division had accumulated sufficient experience in dealing with anti-tank trenches when fighting against the Qing court, so they sent bulldozer tanks to fill up the anti-tank trenches. Tank ditch.

At 28 o'clock in the morning on December [-], twenty bulldozer tanks carried sandbags and other landfills to the Japanese anti-tank trenches. Buried to anti-tank trenches.

But when they approached the anti-tank trench, suddenly there was a cannon sound on the high ground behind the anti-tank trench!

A shell immediately exploded next to a bulldozing tank, kicking up a lot of mud, and the frontline commander called Lu Xinghua: "Report to the battalion commander, we are under attack by the Japanese army! Enemy artillery appeared on the high ground behind the anti-tank trench. The exact location is unclear!"

Lu Xinghua asked: "I don't know the exact location? What does this mean? How do you do your reconnaissance?"

The front-line commander said: "The Japanese army built iron wire behind the anti-tank trench, and there were heavy guards. Our scouts couldn't get through, so we couldn't find the preparation position of the Japanese firepower point, and the Japanese firepower point was obviously camouflaged. We can see it from this position. not."

Lu Xinghua thought to himself: "The caliber of the Japanese artillery is extremely small, only 75 mm. Even if the grenade fired directly hits our bulldozing tank, it will not cause much damage!" So Lu Xinghua decisively ordered: "Don't pay attention to the Japanese artillery, continue Fill the trenches, fill the trenches and rush through, and the Japanese artillery is finished."

The front-line commander immediately agreed, and continued to command the troops to fill the anti-tank trenches, letting the shells explode around them. At this moment, a shell suddenly hit a bulldozing tank, and only heard a loud "boom", and the tank exploded. Thick smoke came out from inside, the communicator failed for a moment, and the commander suddenly understood: the Japanese artillery shells not only hit the tank, but also penetrated the armor!

The commander was full of suspicion and thought: "What's going on? How could the Japanese artillery damage our armor?"
