Chapter 159 Smear Campaign: A High-Tech Battle!

As the battle began, the Kuomintang reactionaries suffered successive defeats, and many key locations were occupied by our army.

After several days of fighting, the main force had reached the doorstep of Shanghai.

We were just one step away from entering the city.

What lay before the army was a cemetery in the suburbs.

This place was also a necessary route for the People's Liberation Army to enter Shanghai!

The army should have swept through the graveyard and launched an attack on H city.

However, upon receiving orders from higher command, the main force suddenly halted its advance.

They were stationed not far from the cemetery, seemingly taking a break.

At this moment, under the illumination of searchlights, the cemetery and the flag-raising ceremonies on the graves create psychological pressure and visual disturbance for the troops, making it resemble a terrifying hellish world.

The cemetery was unusually quiet, with only insects chirping in the grass.

On the surface, it looks like just a desolate graveyard.

But beneath the bulging mounds lay hidden bunkers that had been built long ago.

Under the cover of weeds, the dark muzzles of guns were pointed directly at the PLA's only route.

Every few meters, a machine gun was hidden beneath each grave.

The countless graves lined up made it impossible to tell which one was a real grave and which one concealed a machine gun!

But one thing is certain.

If a large army were to pass through this area, it would suffer heavy losses.

In the original historical trajectory, the People's Liberation Army troops were caught off guard by these suddenly appearing firepower points when they charged forward.

This caused heavy casualties, forcing a temporary retreat and disrupting the momentum of the advance.

However, Lin Wan already knew from the historical records she would read in the future that there was an ambush here.

The information had already been sent to Beiping through secret channels.

That's why the army stopped advancing not far from the cemetery.

We will only continue forward after we have eliminated these firing positions.

The cemetery is located in the suburbs, so artillery can actually be used there.

Once the grave mounds are completely leveled, those bunkers will naturally be destroyed.

However, there are too many graves here, 80% of which are real graves, belonging to the ancestors of the local people.

Every year during the Qingming Festival, I come here to pay respects to my ancestors.

If we use artillery to bombard the area, it would be easy to raze these bunkers to the ground.

However, destroying the graves of the people's ancestors will inevitably draw their scorn and condemnation.

Such things that would cause public resentment are naturally unacceptable.

The General Headquarters had already drafted relevant regulations before the offensive.

The main reason was that the Kuomintang reactionaries were unwilling to accept defeat and deliberately spread rumors and smeared the People's Liberation Army in the city.

This led to the people's army being seen as a monstrous threat by the people of Shanghai.

Upon hearing that the People's Liberation Army had arrived in Shanghai, panic ensued.

I fear that when the city falls, I will be robbed and killed by the demonized army!

In fact, the practice of spreading rumors and smearing others did not stop not only during the Republic of China era, but also continued for decades afterward.

They spread rumors that toilets don't have doors, that ordinary people can't afford rice or firewood, and that they even had to remove the doors in winter to make a fire!

They even spread rumors about sharing a wife, which is utterly shameless!

Most importantly, the people on the island, including those from Western countries, actually believed it!

This proves that the Western internet is just a giant local area network, and that we live in a world of giant lies.

The people of Shanghai today are misled by the rumors fabricated by the Kuomintang reactionaries, and regard the People's Liberation Army as a monstrous flood, fearing that they will kill and set fires after entering the city.

Therefore, the General Headquarters specifically formulated a series of regulations.

Therefore, the "Three Major Agreements for Entering the City," "Ten Rules of Conduct," and "Twelve Rules of Discipline for Entering the City" were drafted to ensure that every soldier of the 100,000-strong army about to enter the city would remember and abide by them.

This was to prevent the people from having any further misunderstandings after the army entered the city!

Only through concrete actions can the people see what the People's Liberation Army is like, and only then will their perceptions change from the bottom of their hearts.

Only then can we, like the people in the liberated areas, wholeheartedly support it!

Two miles away from the cemetery, a special unit was hiding behind the hillside, making operational deployments.

This special unit is the main force for eliminating the pillbox!

"Captain, the drone and night vision goggles have been inspected and are functioning correctly; they are ready to operate normally!"

A female soldier reported in a low voice the situation of the equipment inspection she had just witnessed.

Li Yimin nodded slightly and looked up at the dark sky.

There is no moon tonight, and visibility is less than five meters in the dead of night.

However, two miles ahead, searchlights occasionally flashed by.

Below that area lies the bunker!

Li Yimin, the former instructor, performed exceptionally well in the use of drones, and was therefore promoted to squad leader.

This special squadron has expanded to 500 personnel, including not only pilots but also ten reconnaissance teams responsible for scouting and recovering malfunctioning drones.

The advanced equipment sent from the future world is all in this brigade, which receives direct command from the General Headquarters.

Li Yimin checked the blueprints in his hand again and called out softly, "Zhang Deshun!"

A burly soldier immediately stepped forward: "Present!"

Li Yimin ordered in a deep voice, "Start pulling out the nails according to the pre-arranged plan!"

"Yes!" Zhang Deshun immediately replied, his rugged face full of excitement.

He put the earphones in his ears, called to the soldiers in his platoon, and quietly disappeared into the darkness.

Every soldier wore a night vision goggle on their face and an earpiece in their ear.

With this cutting-edge technology from the future, any command can be instantly transmitted to everyone's ears.

Wearing night vision goggles allows one to see clearly even in pitch-black darkness.

Zhang Deshun led his soldiers forward cautiously in the dark, each carrying a submachine gun and two 20-pound explosive packs on their backs.

The soldiers moved very lightly, but their speed was not slow.

Moreover, judging from their route, it was clearly pre-arranged.

In fact, the drone squadron had received orders ten days earlier to conduct reconnaissance of the cemetery.

During the day, drones hover hundreds of meters in the air, overlooking the cemetery.

The soldiers in those bunkers could see everything clearly as they came out to eat, drink, and relieve themselves.

Each bunker's location was marked.

At night, thermal imaging was used to observe the bunker.

This is, after all, a cemetery, and a fortification built in haste.

Therefore, it was merely a temporary bunker built with planks and mud, rather than a solid, permanent fortification.

The drone, hovering in the air, could detect the temperature of the people inside through gaps in the weeds and planks, as well as through the holes reserved for machine guns.

Meanwhile, drones hovered overhead, using thermal imaging to confirm the location of the bunker.

Anything with a heat source is a hidden bunker!

When Zhang Deshun approached the cemetery, he had already entered the range of the searchlights.

He gave a hand signal, and the soldiers immediately lay down on the ground to conceal themselves.

Wearing night vision goggles, Zhang Deshun picked up a bomb and, taking advantage of the searchlight being moved away, quietly made his way to a bunker marked on a blueprint!
