The Fourth Disaster, Starting from the Movie Eight Hundred

"Damn! The Japs are using submachine guns too."

The quantum girl, who had just been hit in the knee by a bullet, cursed while treating herself with a first aid injection, then quickly picked up the telescope to observe the enemy's situation.

"That looks like a Thomson. The Japanese must have imported it from the United States!" -p

The Quantum Girl was so angry that her teeth were itching. Anyone who knows a little about the history of World War II knows that before the outbreak of the Pacific War, the Americans were reselling arms and technology everywhere. They fed the Germans and raised the Japanese devils, and they still have various transactions with the Japanese devils until now, such as the "scrap steel" trade. To put it bluntly, in the early days of the Pacific War, most of the bombs that American soldiers were hit by were made of steel exported by the United States itself.

Oh, and there’s also aviation aluminum alloy.

The arsenal of the free world is very free indeed (big boo).

Because the Japanese army had suffered severe damage to its defenses and suffered heavy casualties due to the powerful semi-automatic and automatic firepower of the Volunteer Army in the previous battle, the Japanese headquarters quickly made a decision. On the one hand, they ordered the development of submachine guns that were suitable for the physical condition of Japanese babies, and on the other hand, they bought submachine guns all over the world for emergency use. This thing was not a rare item, so they quickly purchased 100,000 Thompson guns from the United States, quickly equipped the troops, and brought them to Nanjing for emergency use.

There is only one reason why Japan chose the Thompson submachine gun: they wanted too many and too quickly. At that time, no other country in the world except the United States could produce so many submachine guns in a short period of time, so there appeared the picture of Japanese soldiers holding Thompsons with drum magazines.

Of course, the Japanese were not going to do business at a loss, and they also obtained the technology and production line of the Thompson submachine gun, but mass production takes time. Now the focus is to have guns with the same automatic firepower to debate with the volunteers on the battlefield.

After both sides had automated weapons as arguments, the intensity of the battlefield more than doubled. Moreover, when the Japanese got the Thompson, they found that this gun had advantages in addition to its sinking point, especially when equipped with a 50-round drum magazine. It was really their favorite and they wanted to hold it even when they slept.

Is this the sexy young lady from Michu? I love it.

However, in terms of gun performance, the Thompson is not as good as the Suomi. This is related to the performance positioning and processing accuracy of the Suomi submachine gun. What's more, the products used by players are manufactured by Liu Qi using high-precision integrated printing technology. The accuracy is at the same level as the K5 railway gun that players are playing with. So although it is called a submachine gun, there is no problem using it as an automatic rifle. It can also be used as a sniper rifle within 300 meters.

Just as the fierce fighting was going on on the front line, the K5 railway gun in Nanjing City was ready.

Chapter 27: Counterattack, Iron Crushing

(Please comment! Also coins and tickets!)

"Damn it, we're finally ready, fire!"

Yue Cheng, who temporarily turned into an artillery commander, waved his hand downwards, and ten K5 railway guns roared at the same time. Then the shells fell behind the attacking Japanese army, plowing their positions until they were burnt on the outside and tender on the inside.

The Japanese army was also stunned when they were suddenly bombarded by heavy artillery. They really didn't expect that there were cannons in Nanjing City that could reach them.

Although the first round of shooting was a calibration, it still gave the Japanese soldiers a great shock. After all, the accuracy of K5 is there.

It was true that the high-value target was not hit, but the landing point was not far from the Japanese artillery position.

"Quick! Move position!"

The Japanese artillery commander roared and personally went down to adjust the equipment.

The Japanese were really anxious. They only had three railway guns, and losing one was unacceptable. But even if they were anxious, moving the railway guns would not be done in minutes. You had to loosen all the fixed equipment first, put away the cannons, and then let the locomotive pull them away.

However, they will not have to worry about this problem soon, because the players have already locked their positions. The volley just now was to get a feel for it. Now all the shooting parameters have been adjusted, and the big one is on the way.

As a heavy K5 shell landed near the Japanese railway gun, the tractor locomotive was shattered on the spot, and the railway was also destroyed. The surrounding Japanese soldiers were either shattered to pieces or suffered fatal internal injuries. They could only twitch on the ground, like zombies who had lost their ability to move.

"Run! Run! Forget the cannons, just run as far as you can!"

The Japanese officers finally reacted at this time, but it was too late.

The Type 90 railway gun No. 01 was blown away along with its gun crew in the devastating explosion, and then a large number of metal parts flew around at an even more terrifying speed, causing more casualties.

These treasures, cherished by the Japanese army, had just been fired upon, and now they had been forced to retire.

But this was just the beginning. From the moment the players discovered the Japanese artillery positions, the Japanese artillery was destined to become disposable. When the Type 90 railway gun No. 01 and its crew took off into the sky, No. 02 and No. 03 also enjoyed the homemade aircraft package. The three 240 heavy guns of the Japanese army, which were the main force of the attack, were all scrapped by a few precise shots from K5.

"The Japs' heavy artillery is gone, next is their artillery position, hurry up and load it!"

This is the most frustrating thing about heavy artillery. Even with semi-automatic loading equipment to assist in loading, the barrel needs to be leveled first. The German standard is that the muzzle elevation angle cannot exceed fifteen degrees. The ammunition is packaged separately and recalibrated after loading. In order to fire the last shot, the preparation work is exhausting.

Therefore, players led by Yuecheng joined in the loading work. They were not afraid of being tired and were highly efficient. Most importantly, they were grateful for the nine years of compulsory education. The importance of having a complete basic education was demonstrated here.

However, the silence of K5 does not mean that the Purple Mountain Fort will also be silent. The players and local soldiers there are having a lot of fun firing cannons. The reloading of 152 and 203 is relatively easy, and there are also 105 and 75 cannons on the front line. These are all cannons that are guaranteed to put the Japanese into a baby-like sleep.

"Where are our planes? Let us take out those Chinese army's heavy artillery at any cost!"

Matsui Iwane is now completely crazy. The heavy loss has made him foresee his future fate, but he still feels that he can fight to the death with bloodshot eyes.

Yes, the Chinese are all timid cowards. They just rely on some advanced weapons. As long as we blow those things up, the Imperial Army is invincible. We will still win. Kill them!

The idea was good, but the sky above Nanjing had always been dominated by the Volunteer Air Force and anti-aircraft artillery units. The Japanese pilots who were given death orders had no way to break through the terrible air defense network, because the Volunteer Army had gone so far as to place anti-aircraft machine guns and Oerlikon anti-aircraft guns on all the high-rise flat-roofed buildings in Nanjing, as long as the building structure allowed. The terrifying anti-aircraft barrage made all Japanese planes that dared to dive never return.

After this period of high-intensity actual combat, those former National Army soldiers have become veterans who are proficient in operating various heavy weapons and are very good at using anti-aircraft guns. In addition, players and NPC commanders emphasize experience sharing, build party branches in the army that are similar to those of local soldiers, carry out systematic literacy and grievance education, and the fair and healthy army construction of the Volunteer Army. These local soldiers have burst out with a strong sense of honor and subjective initiative, and have created many efficient methods to destroy Japanese fighter planes. Some methods even use local materials and traditional methods, but the effect is better than that of professional equipment.

Although this situation is only a very rare case, it is enough to prove that the people are the creators of history and the promoters of civilization.

Otherwise, why do we say that the people are the source of wisdom?

"The Japanese planes are coming, open fire!"

The dense anti-aircraft barrage quickly strangled any Japanese planes that dared to approach.

Because of the structural problems of Japanese aircraft, they were easily blown up in mid-air, which made it impossible for the Japanese to launch suicide attacks. Their best result so far was a Zero fighter that was about to make a kamikaze attack and crashed five kilometers away from the K5 railway gun position.

Loading, firing, reloading, and firing again. Ten K5s, combined with the Soviet heavy artillery on the Purple Mountain artillery position, formed a wonderful spectacle of Soviet-German cooperation and completely tore apart the Japanese offensive spearhead. Now they no longer thought about attacking, but about how to survive such a terrifying artillery attack.

But this is impossible, because after this bombardment, the players will fight back.

One after another, BT-7 tanks were ready to go, with Bf109 and Stuka covering them in the sky, and some Type 4A tanks were assigned to the assault troops as assault forces. Among them, after working hard for such a long time, the players finally put together a decent armored assault force.

The spearhead of the attack was composed of BT-7 and a small number of Type 4A tanks, followed by BA-6 armored vehicles and German half-track armored vehicles, with a total force of one regiment.

So little.

There is no other way. These are the only ones who have been trained urgently and can be used. The rest are lucky enough to be able to be drivers. Players don’t expect them to achieve any results, as long as they can crush the Japanese offensive.

The goal of this assault was to smash the Japanese army's southern attack spearhead, recapture Lishui and Ma'anshan, and then make Nanjing the capital of Anhui Province, and change its name to Huijing (confusion).

Cough cough cough, just kidding. Jiangsu is so united, it will definitely be reluctant to leave Nanjing (I’m sure of it).

In fact, players also want to recapture Jurong, and at the same time control Chuzhou and Yangzhou to the north, so that Nanjing can rest assured.

But it is impossible at the moment, so let's consolidate the surrounding positions first.

The volunteer troops in other directions also need to take action, but the speed of action will be slower. After all, Route 11 is mobile. But it doesn’t matter if it’s slower. They need to ensure that the controlled areas are stable and the Japanese will definitely not be able to take them back. At the same time, they can also build roads.

After the infrastructure is built, the Volunteer Army's railway guns can be used along the railway. Now that the gauge is widened, it will be more convenient for travel in the future.

Simply put, it is the Soviet standard wide-gauge railway, that is, 1520 mm gauge.

There is no need to talk about the advantages of wide-gauge railways. There are many reasons why this was not chosen after the founding of the People's Republic of China. Political considerations are one aspect, and the other is the technical difficulty and construction difficulty. Relying solely on human and animal power to open mountains and split rocks will always lead to helpless places, or after the construction is completed, only smaller ones can be used. In this case, the volunteers were good people and did their best to the end. They fought while building infrastructure. The construction difficulty in the areas around Nanjing was not high, so it was just right to roll it out in an all-round way, which also solved the local employment problem.

You will be paid on the same day plus three meals a day, and overtime pay, whether you come or not.

Well, even without overtime pay, just the treatment of three meals a day is enough to attract many people, especially since the meals provided by the volunteers also contain meat, which is a real luxury.

Once the recruitment benefits are written, a pot of rice porridge with luncheon meat and vegetables will be cooked on the spot, and there will be no shortage of people.

In this way, the Volunteer Army created a military miracle in human history. Amidst the continuous artillery fire, the Volunteer Army not only stabilized Nanjing, but also dispatched armored forces to blitz the Japanese army while carrying out large-scale infrastructure construction.

Many years later, when the People's Republic of China was founded, people were surprised to find that when they took over these construction achievements, the volunteer army had built two-way ten-lane roads connecting every village and railways connecting all major cities. This was not only the basis for military mobility, but also the economic blood vessels connecting the vast area, continuously injecting prosperity and development into this ancient land.

But no matter what people in later generations called this miracle, the volunteer army at that time had only one goal - to defeat the Japanese!

Chapter 28: Can this be stopped?!

(Update sent, on sale on Friday, then the explosive update, by the way, ask for the first order, hehe)

How little Japan valued armored forces during World War II can be seen from their poor armaments. It is even sad that they invented things like Taigun Happy Sticks in order to destroy tanks.

The BT-7 tank and the Panzer IV A tank could only be considered to be at the bottom of the pass mark in Europe at that time, and were considered to be mediocre works. However, when these two were put on the battlefield of Nanjing, they were a torrent of steel that crushed everything in its path.

At this time, the Japanese had not yet fought the Battle of Nomonhan, and had no idea what it meant to have an army with 498 tanks, 385 armored vehicles, 542 artillery pieces and mortars, and 515 aircraft. But it didn't matter. Now they could enjoy the low-profile version of the steel torrent. After all, most of the Soviet tanks that bullied them at that time were of the BT series. This could be regarded as unlocking the historical plot in advance.

The assaulting Volunteer Army armored forces, the vanguard is naturally the BT-7, Christie's mobile magic show is still quite exciting, especially in this area of ​​Nanjing, where fast-moving light tanks are very suitable. -p

In comparison, the performance of the Type IV A is relatively clumsy, but the crew with more members can better play the professionalism of each position, provided that the commander's command ability is good enough. Fortunately, these Type IV A tanks are responsible for command and attack tasks, so the configuration is generally one Type IV tank commanding two BT-7 tanks, forming a triangular attack arrow, and other motorized infantry follow closely behind. When the armored forces tear open the enemy's defense line and continue to assault, they stay behind to eliminate the enemy and hand over the position to the infantry division that arrives later, and then continue to assault forward.

"I always feel like something is missing." Player Gengwu sat in the Panzer IV A tank and fell into deep thought. Then he had an idea and asked the bugler to blow the charge before launching the attack.

"That's right, that's exciting." Gengwu nodded with satisfaction.

"There are a lot of fancy tricks."

Meridian, who was on Gengwu's team and was also the driver of this Panzer IV A, was speaking while doing a final check of the equipment at hand until Gengwu shouted, "Forward!"

The engines of the Type 4A tanks began to roar, and the Volunteer Army's armored counterattack began.

At this time, the Volunteer Army's artillery bombardment had just stopped, and the Japanese soldiers who were badly injured in the bombing were regrouping their troops in a daze. At this very vulnerable critical point, the Volunteer Army's tanks, with the roar of steel, rolled onto the Japanese positions.

Anyone who has been startled by firecrackers during the Chinese New Year knows that in that situation, people need to calm down. This is just the firecrackers during the Chinese New Year. If it were the heavy artillery of the Volunteer Army, the effect would be really confusing and mind-boggling. Many of the Japanese soldiers who survived, survived temporarily, or barely survived were in a state of walking with their bodies but floating in their souls. When the tanks of the Volunteer Army rushed over, many of them wandered around the position and laughed foolishly, and some sat in the trenches vomiting blood. Their combat effectiveness was negative and they could only lubricate the tracks of the Volunteer Army tanks.

The attacking Volunteer Army armored regiment easily crushed the Japanese defense line, and the subsequent motorized infantry followed like strolling around the streets, finishing off the Japanese soldiers in the trenches who were still breathing but were no longer able to fight.

"We are under attack from the Volunteer Army's armored forces. Requesting tactical guidance!"

One telegram after another "requesting tactical guidance" flew to the Japanese front-line command and Matsui Iwane's desk, but at this time Matsui Iwane and the Japanese front-line commanders had no way to deal with it.

Because the attacking Japan had been bombed to pieces, it was impossible to organize any effective defense under such circumstances.

The Volunteer Army's counterattack was all-round. It didn't mean that only the armored forces would counterattack, other forces would also counterattack, but the speed was relatively slow. However, the defeated Japanese army was obviously slower, and their escape speed soared.

"Morikami-kun, please."

"Hi! See you at Yasukuni Shrine!"

Even though they knew they were outmatched, some Japanese soldiers still fought back, using their own field artillery and explosive packs. They also shouldered the almost certain death-defying task of covering their retreat.

It must be admitted that the combat effectiveness and spirit of sacrifice of the lower-level officers in the Japanese army were still very high. You can say that they were brainwashed by Bushido, but you must never underestimate these fascist running dogs.

"Pay attention to your surroundings and don't let the devils find a chance to get into your pants!"

Gengwu's voice roared in the communication channel. Just now, one of his crew vehicles was blown up by the Japanese in a suicide attack.

The scene of people crawling under the vehicle with explosives in their arms is still very shocking. However, within the narrow field of view of the tank, it is difficult for the driver himself to see the Japanese suicide attack. Other vehicles can discover it and give warnings, but it is often too late by then.

Therefore, at this time, it is very important for the infantry to cover the tanks and follow the tanks in the attack.

However, human legs alone obviously cannot keep up with the BT-7 tanks speeding at full speed, and they cannot catch up with the Type 4A either. Fortunately, the Volunteer Army also equipped the soldiers with enough armored vehicles.

For the Japanese army, the configuration of the Volunteer Army was too luxurious, to a level that they could hardly imagine.

What made the Japanese side even more nervous was the tank configuration of the Volunteer Army. The Panzer IV tank was teamed up with the BT-7, and the tanks were covered with armored knights ready to jump out and charge at any time. The Soviet Union and Germany joined forces and came across mountains and seas to beat me?

This is indeed the case. Although the weapons configuration of the Volunteer Army at that time also had a bit of a multinational flavor, it was still mainly from the Soviet Union and Germany as a whole. The light weapons were all classic models. What a coincidence, it was still mainly from the Soviet Union and Germany.

Of course, the Suomi submachine gun, a light weapon used on a large scale, is an exception, but it is indeed easy to use and has many advantages except for its sinking point.

After all, a sexy body requires a certain quality (I’m sure).

Under such a brutal offensive by the Volunteer Army, the Japanese troops on the southern front quickly collapsed, but after the Volunteer Army advanced to the Lishui Ma'anshan line, it could not push forward, and the number of tanks that could continue to advance was only in the single digits.

Damn, what a joke!

This is really not a joke. Due to the poor education level and illiteracy of soldiers in the Republic of China, these people could only solve some simple vehicle failures after a short period of training. The battlefield environment causes great damage to armored vehicles. There are many kinds of damage, such as tanks crashing while driving, tanks falling into a ditch while driving, tanks breaking down while driving, tanks getting stuck in the mud, and finding that they couldn't start when they came out. There were even cases where tanks fell into the ditch together with their teammates when they went to help them.

In short, no matter how harsh the training ground is, any problem that cannot be discovered can be found on the battlefield.

For the former Kuomintang officers and soldiers among the Volunteer Army, very few of them could repair technical problems above the level of broken tracks, and even fewer could repair them. In addition, the infrastructure level of the Republic of China at that time was at the level of a terrible place, so it was not certain which was more reliable, vehicles or legs. The Nanjing area was already considered a place with good infrastructure at that time.

Think about the second step further south, and the mountains and jungles in the Yunnan, Guizhou and Sichuan regions. No wonder the Japanese couldn't break in even when the National Army was at its weakest. The complex terrain was a natural fortress.

However, the combat mission was completed. But looking back at the armored vehicles thrown along the way, these were still quite sturdy and durable Type IV A and BT-7 tanks. The other armored vehicles were also the best in the Soviet Union and Germany, and they were still in this state.

Unless Liu Qi can arrange more than 100,000 reliable players to come and push forward, the dream of having a million-strong armored force can only be a dream at this stage.

Moreover, the armored forces' rapid advance also requires a battlefield environment. If you put the battlefield in Guizhou, there will be traffic jams even when shield machines arrive. If you put it in Chongqing, even if an army group goes in, it will be difficult to draw a reliable map. Even if it can be drawn, not everyone can understand it. Do you understand the value of a cyber three-dimensional mountain city?

"Build positions, prepare on the spot, damn, what kind of battle is this!"

Gengwu jumped off the tank, kicked the sand on the ground in frustration, and then slipped because of the mud.

It rarely snows in the south in January, but there will be drizzles or sleet, which are enough to turn the ground into a muddy mess, and the tracks will use up a lot of fuel just to run over it.

"Take it." Ziwu, who got off the car, threw a shovel to Gengwu.

"Well, it takes less time to chase the enemy than it does to dig trenches."

"Stop complaining and dig quickly. If the Japanese attack, I don't want to be taken away in one wave."

"understood."

The attacking armored regiment transformed itself into an engineering battalion on the spot and built trenches together with the infantry that arrived from behind.

It's a difficult situation. Many motorized infantrymen now only come here on motorcycles, and some places are too unfriendly to cars. The troops directly turned into engineering teams on the spot and started repairing bridges and roads.

At this point, the Volunteer Army expanded the defense radius of southern Nanjing to the Ma'anshan and Lishui areas. Let us congratulate Nanjing for being one step closer to becoming Huijing. After taking over the entire Jiangsu Province, all cities except Nanjing will be cancelled. We are all Nanjing people, aren't we very happy? (Funny).

Although the armored regiment's advance was paused for dramatic reasons, the Volunteer Army's infantry regiment's advance did not stop.

Along the Yangtze River, the Volunteer Army's Nanjing Garrison 1st Division advanced towards Zhenjiang. Behind them was the Volunteer Army Engineering Corps, which was frantically building roads and railways. Along with the railways were extended ten K5 railway guns.
