Bourne: Command and Conquer

Chapter 1367, God of Plague

That's what the battlefield is like.

Everyone makes mistakes.

If you can catch the enemy's mistakes and attack them decisively, you will have surpassed 90% of your opponents.

If you can induce the other party to make a mistake, proceed according to your own ideas. That is to surpass 99% of opponents.

No one makes mistakes.

Even the best generals.

Even if you don't make mistakes yourself, your people probably will.

For example, Napoleon.

Throughout all battles, both sides were riddled with mistakes.

Someone else's careful planning may turn into a fatal mistake once you see through it.

It depends on whether you can seize the opportunity.

Catch it and you are the winner.

If you don't catch it, then...

"Somebody come!"

"arrive!"

"Ten artillery regiments!"

"yes."

The call was answered quickly.

It was not Peng Mengji who answered the phone.

He is the deputy leader, named Gao Hong.

Zhang Yong instantly gave the opponent a nickname in his mind - Dog-headed Laogao.

They are all thin, tall, and dark.

"Please give instructions, Commissioner."

"Are you confident about hitting a moving target?"

"How far away?"

"Ten kilometers."

"Are there any specific coordinates?"

"The target is near 309, 218. It is slowly moving northwest."

"If you can visually correct the parameters, the effect will be best..."

"Wait a minute. I'll call you later."

Zhang Yong looked at the map.

I found that area marked with a white dot.

After checking, I found out it was Xuan Tiewu.

It turns out to be the defense area of ​​the 55th Division!

This 55th Division is actually the original Zhejiang Provincial Security Corps. It escalated after the Marco Polo Bridge Incident. The fighting ability is very average.

It seemed that he had to go to the 55th Division defense area and correct the impact point of the shells himself.

You only get one chance. It would be a shame to miss it.

"Chief of Staff Zhou."

"arrive."

"Send me a guard company. I'll go to the 55th Division."

"yes."

Soon, a company of guards assembled.

They are all young men. The weapons equipped are also fancy tricks.

Zhang Yong:…

It looks like it's not the last minute yet.

The guard company is so complete. He probably hasn't been on the battlefield yet.

no.

How could you not go to the battlefield?

Even the security company had to go into battle to fight the Japanese invaders.

Must see blood.

If you stay behind all day, you will just lie down and become useless.

The biggest problem of the national army is that the organization is bloated and there are too many non-combatants.

A division has 12,000 men, of which more than 3,000 are often non-combatants. Some even more. Greatly constrains combat effectiveness.

The Japanese invaders had a main division of 25,000 people, but less than 1,000 non-combatants!

Even these 1,000 people have received strict training. You can also pick up a gun and join the fight.

Of course, this is early stage. The Japanese invaders were all elite.

Starting in 1943, it gradually started to fail. Even the field divisions have a lot of waste.

Zhang Yong has no control over other troops.

However, he supervised several troops. Non-combatant personnel are being reduced.

It seems like the 67th Army has cut almost half of its logistics organization. Logistics personnel must also pick up their guns and join the fight.

What?

Not used to it? Don't dare to go?

Sorry about that. Leave alone!

My Zhang Yong army does not support idlers!

Because the combat personnel have been greatly enriched, even if there are only more than 10,000 people left in the 67th Army, it still has combat effectiveness.

"Report!"

"May I have your name?"

"Xiao Yan!"

"good."

Zhang Yong nodded.

This Xiao Yan is a yellow dot. People from the Red Party.

At this moment in Jinling, there are many yellow dots scattered throughout the radar map monitoring range.

In terms of absolute number, there were probably about three hundred people. According to the army organization, that is two companies. However, they are scattered everywhere.

There should be very few publicly identified members of the Red Party. More of a long-term lurker.

It will come into play later.

"Replenish ammunition."

"yes."

Bullets are a must.

Grenades are also a must.

There are also three 60mm mortars.

The rest will be discussed later.

Will be added soon.

Set off.

Go to the 55th Division defense area.

The garrison headquarters has already notified in advance.

Xuan Tiewu brought people out to greet him. The look on his face was certainly unnatural.

In the past, who was Zhang Yong?

At most, he is a small role in the Secret Service of Lixing Society.

But now, the other party is already the inspector. Entrusted to supervise the entire Jinling military affairs.

"Commissioner Zhang."

"Master Xuan."

Zhang Yong looked around. His face was gloomy.

The 55th Division is obviously also shrinking its troops. Ready to run away.

"Commander Xuan, when will you withdraw?"

"We will leave as soon as daybreak. Retreat from Zhongshan Pier."

"oh."

Zhang Yong was indifferent.

hehe. Nothing much to say. People's hearts are broken and it's hard to lead the team.

"Take me to the front lines."

"yes."

Xuan Tiewu agreed mechanically.

I muttered secretly in my heart. What is Zhang Yong going to the front line for?

Coming with a security company, could it be that they were going to engage in a firefight with the Japanese invaders? So what does our 55th Division do?

Come to the forward position.

Zhang Yong raised his telescope. I didn't see the Japanese heavy artillery.

In the dark, I couldn't see clearly and I didn't dare to use flares. I was afraid that the Japanese artillery would be alerted.

Look around. Finally found a commanding height.

Climb up.

Observe quietly.

Finally saw the Japanese artillery.

More than two thousand meters away. There are many people and vehicles.

After all, it is a 150mm howitzer. At that time, it was a strategic-level weapon.

Each independent field heavy artillery regiment was the darling of the Japanese army. There were not many Japanese invaders themselves.

In front of the howitzer, there was at least one Japanese infantry regiment covering it.

Want to make a sneak attack. Almost impossible.

However, no need to sneak attack. I am directly covered by artillery fire!

"Somebody come!"

"arrive!"

"Put the phone over here."

"yes."

Xuan Tiewu sent someone to make arrangements.

Don't dare to neglect. He was afraid that Zhang Yong would cause trouble for him.

This is war time. Military law is ruthless.

If he really did something wrong and was caught by Zhang Yong and shot, no one would dare to say anything.

No one thought the title of Inspector was so scary before. Now I feel it deeply!

Before Zhang Yong, inspectors and commissioners were almost decorations.

Or use this title to benefit yourself.

It wasn't until Zhang Yong appeared that everyone discovered that the head on their neck was also among the inspectors.

Enforce military law.

Military law is ruthless.

It's simply a perfect closed loop.

Zhang Yong really knows how to kill.

Even in front of King Yama, there is no way to complain.

Fortunately, Zhang Yong was too lazy to pay attention to the other party.

He was carefully studying the artillery coordinates map.

Study and judge the empty finger map.

Repeatedly check.

Finalize coordinates.

Just in time, the communications soldier also pulled the phone line over.

Pick up the phone.

"I'm Zhang Yong! I'll take over the tenth artillery regiment."

"yes."

Soon, the call was connected.

The person who answered the phone was not a bastard. It's Peng Mengji.

It was probably the dog-headed old man who reported Peng Mengji. Peng Mengji did not dare to neglect and went into battle tired.

"Commissioner..."

"Now, there are 150mm howitzers from the Japanese invaders approaching quietly. They are probably coming towards you. Currently, they are in front of the 55th Division defense area. Follow my order and immediately shoot near areas 308 and 216. Gradually cover a radius of 500 meters area.”

"yes."

"Keep the phone open."

"yes."

Peng Mengji handed the phone to the staff officer. Go and direct the artillery fire yourself.

Zhang Yong put the microphone next to him. But it didn't die. Holding the binoculars, waiting for the shells to fall.

Five seconds…

Ten seconds…

Thirty seconds…

The shells haven't come yet.

It seems that the operation of the 10th Artillery Regiment is a bit slow.

It's probably because the staff is tired. The shelling continued all night. overload.

Not only is the staff overloaded. All howitzers are also overloaded.

The number of shells fired in one night was ten times more than the total number of shells fired in the past. Even more than that.

Hopefully those barrels can still hold up...

As long as it doesn't blow up, it'll be fine. It doesn't matter if the error is large.

The accuracy is not enough, so I have to make up the quantity.

First shoot a thousand rounds. not enough? Ten thousand more...

One minute…

Eighty seconds…

Finally, I noticed the sound of shells breaking through the air.

Coming!

Coming!

The shells are coming!

"boom…"

"boom…"

Sure enough, a ball of fire broke out.

The shell landed slightly off target. It did not explode into the middle of the Japanese heavy artillery.

Instead, they blew away the Japanese infantrymen who were responsible for defending them.

The first round of shooting destroyed at least hundreds of Japanese infantry. Or the kind where all the bones are gone.

Pick up the phone.

"The distance is shortened by three hundred meters."

"One hundred meters to the left."

Zhang Yong quickly reported the data.

Then put the microphone aside. Didn't hang up.

The landing point needs to be corrected at any time.

"Baga!"

"Discovered!"

"Discovered!"

At this moment, the Japanese artillery was panicked.

The commander's face turned pale.

I felt like my whole body was shaking violently.

In fact, they are all well-trained. Don't panic easily.

The problem is, what they encounter is not an ordinary situation. But a dead end.

They were discovered. Enemy artillery has been tested.

It was found to be very fatal.

It's still a test shot, so it's hopeless.

They do not know the specific location of the enemy's artillery and cannot counterattack.

In fact, the howitzers were still on the march and had not yet been deployed. Even if Amaterasu arrived, it would be too late to unfold it.

because…

It only takes thirty seconds for the enemy to correct the impact point.

Thirty seconds later, they will attract an overwhelming barrage of artillery shells. They will get hit. Then total destruction.

The car dragged the heavy howitzer, and there was no chance of escape.

There was not even time to move the shells from the ammunition cart.

This means that once hit, the ammunition truck will explode. Then the explosion was earth-shattering.

It's over...

It's over...

In fact, the Japanese invaders' judgment was completely correct.

Ten seconds…

Twenty seconds…

The second round of shells came.

"boom…"

"boom…"

The shells accurately landed in the Japanese artillery convoy.

At the beginning, there was nothing special about it. Just a regular cannonball explosion.

No howitzers have been blown up yet...

Only a large number of Japanese invaders were blown to pieces...

Until, a shell accurately hit the ammunition truck...

"Rumble..."

"Rumble..." Suddenly, a fireball burst into the sky.

In an instant, the entire sky seemed to be illuminated.

The entire Jinling was as bright as day.

Even the plants and trees on Purple Mountain can be clearly seen.

Oh, not a single plant or tree.

But you can see the shocked eyes of the hidden Japanese invaders.

The Japanese invaders on Purple Mountain were at a high place, so of course they judged that their artillery had been attacked.

It's terrible...

Attacked while on the march.

Even the weakest infantryman knew there was no hope.

Unable to fight back.

There is no escape.

Only passive beatings.

"Rumble..."

"Rumble..."

The violent explosion finally destroyed the nearby howitzer.

The gun mount broke on the spot. The gun barrel hit the ground heavily. Various debris was blown into the air. Fully fifty meters high.

Almost all the nearby Japanese infantry disappeared on the spot. Not even a wreckage.

The powerful shock wave generated by the explosion cleared everything within a hundred meters radius.

[Target destroyed: Howitzer 2/12]

Oh, I've got two doors.

There are ten more doors.

Keep up the good work.

No one can escape.

The Japanese heavy artillery at this moment is a lamb to be slaughtered.

The situation in Jinling has collapsed.

However, even if it collapses, I, Zhang Yong, am not someone to be trifled with!

"boom…"

"Rumble..."

The shells continued to fall.

Another ammunition truck was hit. Causing a suicide bombing.

A huge fireball shot into the sky. It was like an ammunition depot exploding. The scene was completely out of control.

Cannonballs are actually very safe.

As long as the fuse is not installed, it will not explode easily.

However, there is a premise that there is no violent explosion nearby. Otherwise, it will explode.

A cartload of artillery shells can easily contain hundreds of rounds. Is it okay to die in an explosion?

That's more than a hundred shells exploding at the same time! The power can be imagined.

"Puff puff puff..."

"Chi chi chi..."

There were chaotic sounds all around.

They were all debris blown away from the explosion site and fell nearby.

Calculate the distance roughly. More than a thousand meters! Almost two thousand meters.

The flying debris is also terrifying.

Zhang Yong picked up the microphone.

"All hits."

"Covering a 500-meter radius area."

Put down the mic.

It's okay. His mission accomplished.

The rest is the basic training of artillery.

Fine-tune the parameters yourself to cover the target area. Make sure there are no dead ends.

"Xuan Tiewo!"

"arrive!"

"Organize a commando team! Prepare to counterattack!"

"yes!"

Xuan Tiewu agreed reflexively.

There was no hesitation. I didn’t dare to hesitate. He's not an idiot. Naturally, I knew the opportunity had come.

At this moment, the Japanese heavy artillery was attacked and chaos reigned. The Japanese infantry in front were also in chaos.

This is a good opportunity to fight back!

Strike while the iron is hot.

Take advantage of his illness and take his life!

"Xiao Yan!"

"arrive!"

"superior!"

"yes!"

Zhang Yong rushed forward with his guard company.

Artillery blasts artillery. Infantry versus infantry. Take the guard company to see the blood.

"Da da da..."

"Da da da..."

Close combat. Fierce firefight.

The Japanese infantry couldn't figure out what the national army was going to do, so they could only be beaten passively.

Soon, the Japanese defense line was breached.

"superior!"

"superior!"

Xuan Tiewu took the opportunity to expand his position with the officers and soldiers of the 55th Division.

The remaining Japanese invaders took the initiative to retreat.

Easily advance.

However, the infantry battle was a complete episode.

Everyone's attention is still on the Japanese artillery.

"Rumble..."

"Rumble..."

With bursts of explosions, the Japanese howitzers were being destroyed.

Various attached cars were also destroyed in large numbers. The scene was a mess.

[Target destroyed: Howitzer 5/12]

[Target destroyed: Howitzer 6/12]

"Nani?"

"How is it possible..."

When the Japanese invaders nearby saw it, they were all horrified.

Damn it!

The imperial army's heavy artillery was about to be wiped out.

That's twelve 150mm howitzers! It's the treasure of the imperial army!

Report it quickly.

Matsui Iwane was handed over to King Hatohiko of Asaka Palace.

The latter has taken over the command of the Jinling front line. The royal family again. Matsui Iwane just let it go.

"Baga!"

King Jiuyan of Chaoxiang Palace turned pale.

It turned out that this artillery "assault" operation was personally arranged by him.

The purpose was to use the darkness to cover the approach of the howitzers, and then use spies in the city to grasp the location of the national army's heavy artillery.

Then wipe it out in one fell swoop.

The heavy artillery of the national army posed too great a threat to the Japanese army.

The Sixth Division has been crippled and has basically lost its combat effectiveness.

If other divisions continue to attack, it is expected that the same will happen. The siege of Jinling was intercepted to death.

As for the task of besieging Jinling, it was mainly responsible for King Jiuyan of Chaoxiang Palace.

Yanagawa Heisuke is responsible for protecting the flanks.

Matsui Iwane is the commander-in-chief. Currently still in Shanghai.

What a bad start!

It’s hopeless…

These twelve howitzers were finished.

Since there is no help. Forget it. There is no use in thinking too much. At most, pay attention to it later.

It's royalty. Have a high enough status.

A small loss…

The chief of staff came in excitedly.

"Your Highness..."

"explain."

"Your Highness, we have received the latest intelligence. Jinling has fallen into chaos. The Chinese troops are fleeing for their lives."

"Is the information accurate?"

"Exactly. Multiple units of our army have broken into the city."

"Yo Xi! Immediately send the order, the whole army attacks! Charge into the city! Destroy all the Chinese people!"

"Your Highness..."

"Kill without mercy! Kill them all! All Chinese people are dead!"

"Tie!"

"By the way, there is also Zhang Yong. If we catch him, we must cut him into pieces!"

"Tie!"

"No. It must be sent up. We will **** him to Tokyo and let all the citizens come to see his fate!"

"Tie!"

…

"Ah sneeze!"

"Ah sneeze!"

Zhang Yong judged that he was cursed.

But there is no way to tell who cursed him. He offended too many people.

Maybe, maybe, probably, it's Xuan Tiewu in front of me?

Unfortunately there is no evidence. otherwise…

[Target destroyed: Howitzer 12/12]

Mission accomplished.

The destruction effect is 100%.

Kill all twelve Japanese howitzers.

Not a single door was spared.

Unfortunately, they were all destroyed.

It would be great if it could be captured.

I can only think about it.

well…

It is difficult for a young woman to make a meal without rice...

wrong.

It is difficult for a clever woman to make a meal without rice...

First post in a circle of friends. Then wait for the Japanese invaders to take revenge.

Having lost twelve heavy artillery pieces and being stimulated by clear telegrams, it would be strange if the Japanese invaders were not crazy.

It's been a long time since the coded telegraph was invented.

Must send one tonight. Let the whole world know.

Maybe the Japanese Emperor would also know?

However…

There was chaotic sound of gunfire in the distance.

The radar map showed a large number of red dots swarming into the city and spreading in all directions.

Faintly, shrill screams could still be heard.

That was the massacre of ordinary people.

They were unarmed and died tragically under the butcher's knife of the Japanese invaders.

Wherever the Japanese invaders passed, there were no more living spots. All lives were slaughtered by the Japanese invaders.

A large number of houses were set on fire.

That was the Japanese invaders setting fire to it. Wanton destruction.

The fire became denser and more intense, eventually spreading into a large sea of ​​​​fire.

The cries of the people...

The ferocious smile of the beast…

is turning Jinling into a **** on earth.

"Commissioner..."

"You guys should withdraw too!"

"Okay, okay, okay!"

Xuan Tiewu was granted amnesty. Arrange a hasty retreat.

Just after giving the order, he ran away first.

When the other officers saw that the division commander had run away, how could they care about anything else? So they also ran away.

The remaining low-level officers and soldiers who were at a loss remained on the position in a daze.

It took him a while to react, and he hurriedly ran away. Some soldiers also threw away their weapons.

confusion.

Horrified.

Each one is like a bereaved dog.

Uncontrollable.

Totally broken.

He Zhang Yong can only follow the crowd.

If he stood up at this time and intercepted the frightened remnants of the soldiers, he would definitely take advantage of them.

There was chaos at the Xiaguan Pier. It is expected that other terminals will soon be in chaos. In the end, even gods cannot control it.

The closest to Yancang Bridge is Zhongshan Pier. I don’t know what the current situation is.

He hurried back to Yancang Bridge with the guard company.

Fortunately, there is no chaos here yet.

The Japanese invaders haven't arrived yet.

"Commissioner, everyone else has run away, what should we do?"

Peng Mengji's face was grim.

in a hurry.

nervous.

The same is true for Lei Xinghu.

Japanese invaders have swarmed into the city. They are killing people and setting fires everywhere.

The fight will soon reach Yancang Bridge.

"I'll handle it."

Zhang Yong forced himself to calm down.

Call the 67th Army headquarters immediately.

Fortunately, the phone can still be connected.

"Wu Keren."

"arrive!"

"Abandon all positions immediately and move to Yancang Bridge!"

"Commissioner, is Jinling hopeless?"

"Execute the order!"

"yes!"

Wu Keren hurriedly made arrangements.

Later, Zhang Yong called 100 Army again...

As a result, I accidentally discovered that the 100 Army phone number was no longer accessible. Said the phone line had been disconnected.

Yes, Long Muhan, a first-year student from Huangpu, must have received remote control orders from above. He may have left the battlefield early.

Made…

What is this thing called?

Want to curse. But in the end he held back.

If scolding could repel the Japanese invaders, he could scold them for ten or eight years.

For now, just take care of yourself.

Wait for the 67th Army to arrive.

Then deploy a defense line near Yancang Bridge.

Before I knew it, it was dawn.

Jinling is no longer the Jinling it was last night.

It fell.

It has become a living hell.
