The Fourth Disaster, Starting from the Movie Eight Hundred

"Enemy attack!"

The Type 11 (Cross Handle) light machine gun and the Type 92 heavy machine gun began to roar, but these two weapons are classic representatives of poor performance in the history of World War II. Some people say that the Japanese heavy machine guns have better endurance and are not prone to overheating.

Hehe, brother, compare the firing rate of the Type 92 with the classic heavy machine guns of the United States, the Soviet Union, Germany and Britain in World War II. Is that the firing rate and firepower that a heavy machine gun should have? Even the Type 24 heavy machine gun produced by the Kuomintang in the Republic of China can look down on it.

Such a machine gun, combined with the Type 38 rifle with a bolt action, was soon suppressed by the terrifying individual firepower of the Volunteer Army.

"The Volunteer Army's offensive is fierce. Requesting tactical guidance!"

Requests for tactical guidance from the Japanese troops on the front line floated into Matsui Iwane's command post like snowflakes, and his answer was always to hold on firmly. He was not sure whether there was a way out, but anyone who dared to retreat would be subject to military action!

Now the Japanese army can only show the spirit of the Russo-Japanese War and exchange flesh and blood for steel.

But perfect ideas will always be beaten by reality. The volunteers who take the lead are all players and NPC commanders. Leading by example is the tradition of the volunteers, and they have to experience it.

However, now taking the lead is not just the privilege of the players. The conscripted volunteer officers and soldiers will also join the charge, and even run faster than the players. Everyone is rushing to be the first and rush into the Japanese positions with the background BGM of the charge.

Bullets, flames, bayonets, countless blood and lives watered the land beneath our feet, mainly the Japanese army. The volunteer army was in a great advantage.

It was not until this time that the Japanese artillery began to play a role.

But their actions were extremely unethical. They directly covered their own positions and blew up their own people and the volunteers.

Chapter 44: Killing from morning to night

Because of the Japanese army's ruthlessness, they did succeed in destroying a group of volunteer army assault troops. In their view, this was a blow to the elite forces of the volunteer army. As for their own losses, which were twice as many as those of the volunteer army, it was a necessary sacrifice.

But the problem is that the ones rushing to the front among the volunteers are players and summonable NPC officers, and the officers and soldiers of the local conscripts are all in the second echelon. As long as the players are not killed on the spot, they can be restored with a shot. As for the lost armored vehicles, as long as the damage is not to the extent of completely turning into fragments on the ground, the universal repair skills can be used to pull them up and continue working in minutes.

However, the repair skills in "Age of War" cannot repair even one wheel if only one is left, but if only one or two wheels are blown off, or the gun barrel is flying, it is still no problem to rely on the repair skills to "grow it back".

Players don’t know that their welding gun is actually a nanorobot repair device. At the microscopic level that is invisible to the naked eye, those nanorobots are filling and repairing the damage to armored units. This is the truth behind the Volunteer Army’s amazing repair skills.

It's really amazing. Under normal circumstances, if any part of a tank breaks on the battlefield, it is impossible to repair it and move it in a short period of time. The best case scenario is that it can be used as a fixed turret. But players can ensure that tanks with lost tracks and wheels can return to the battlefield within 30 seconds. This is a technology that was unimaginable to humans in 1938.

It's not that there is no quick repair technology, but armored units are also consumables on the battlefield and are cannon fodder with tougher lives. Moreover, even if the tank can quickly repair itself, the members inside cannot be resurrected on the spot. By then, if the enemy controls the battlefield, wouldn't it be a waste to pick up a fully equipped loot?

Therefore, the tactics of the Volunteer Army can only be used by the Volunteer Army, and no one else can imitate them.

These characteristics also destined the Japanese army's "necessary sacrifice" to be a joke from beginning to end.

If they bombard the troops behind the players, the players will get angry, but now, it’s just a life, I’ll give it to you, let’s move on!

"The volunteers didn't stop, they are still attacking."

After hearing the news, Matsui Iwane just nodded solemnly.

The shelling just now was quite brutal and the cost was huge. Anyway, after the shelling, the Japanese artillery immediately abandoned the cannons and evacuated, and did not even think about moving the cannons, because the counterattack of the Volunteer Army would come soon, and the artillery is a high-tech branch of the army, and the losses cannot be too great.

As it turned out, the anthropomorphic behavior of the Japanese commanders successfully saved their artillery, because less than three minutes after the Japanese artillery bombardment ended, a K5 shell fell on the enemy position, followed by intensive bombardment until the Japanese artillery position was turned upside down, and all the Japanese artillery pieces were turned into twisted and deformed fragments on the ground.

There is no such thing as collecting ten pieces to make a cannon. The Japanese artillery must transport the new cannons quickly.

That’s right, this is how the Japanese artillery responded to the Volunteer Army’s brutal anti-artillery bombardment. It was very effective, but the losses were quite terrible. But there was no other way now.

What's even more terrible is that the Japanese artillery also faced threats from the Stukas in the sky, especially those big cannon birds Stuka equipped with two 37mm guns. They had long flight time and fierce firepower, and were suitable for licking the ground. No matter whether it was Japanese armored vehicles or protective bunkers, they had no way to deal with the 37mm guns. They could even dive and attack, and the top was often the weakest point of defense, unless it was the kind of permanent fortifications specifically designed to defend against artillery, with one-meter-thick reinforced concrete piled on top.

The Japanese army certainly could not afford to squander resources like that. They were lucky enough to build a few small bunkers, but this also meant that they had to withstand the combined attack of land and air and act as disposable artillery.

Don't count on sustained firepower; the Japanese soldiers on the front line can only rely on themselves.

Fortunately, as the battle line gradually advanced towards the urban area of ​​Shanghai, the Japanese Navy was able to enter the battlefield and began to use their naval guns to attack the volunteer troops on land.

Then they were hit hard by the Volunteer Air Force.

"Cover our Dongfeng Commandos, comrades, charge!"

Diana drove the FW190 towards the nearest Japanese Super Zero fighter, and other volunteer fighters quickly entered the BZ tactical mode, or fought head-on with the enemy, and they were there to cover the Stuka formation that launched a suicide attack on the Japanese fleet.

The Stuka-modified suicide attack aircraft that can dive-bomb at almost 90 degrees is really useful.

"Don't worry, the enemy doesn't have heavy bombs and torpedoes, so the threat to large ships is very limited."

Captain Onishi Shinzo of the Kaga was very calm. Although the volunteers were coming in force, their weapons and equipment were not strong enough.

boom!

The raging flames reflected the flames of destruction, and the Akagi not far away caught fire.

The fire started in the physical and chemical sense. The Stuka cruise missile driven by the player's rocket, with the support of the carbon-based brain chip, dived at almost ninety degrees, carrying at least two tons of explosives, and directly opened a big eye for the Akagi.

The Stuka in extreme dive acceleration, coupled with the explosives thrown out by the rocket at the last moment, with a mass of five tons inside and out, smashed onto the deck of the Akagi at a speed of more than 600 kilometers per hour. This standard is an unsolvable fatal blow even for modern battleships, not to mention for World War II battleships.

The terrifying power of the explosion tore through the armor plates of the Akagi without any hindrance and triggered a chain reaction in the hangar. Although the Akagi did not face a fatal dive bombing like in the historical Battle of Midway, where the aircraft had to switch between bombs and torpedoes, the large enough equivalent could make up for all the shortcomings. The torpedo bombs that were neatly stacked and placed in a safe area were ignited on the spot. The shock wave and shrapnel swept across the entire hangar, directly destroying most of the ship's structure, and the fire developed to an uncontrollable level on the spot.

This scene shocked all Japanese naval officers and soldiers.

Although the Volunteer Army had performed such a tragic scene on the Yangtze River before, they never dreamed that the Volunteer Army would actually use this method as a systematic combat method and scrap one of their ships right at the beginning.

This time, Onishi Shinzo could no longer remain calm.

"The fleet begins maneuvering! Go to the open sea and have our fighter planes intercept the Volunteer Army bombers with all their might. Don't let them get close!"

Realizing the critical situation, the Japanese Navy became anxious and opened anti-aircraft firepower at full capacity. Small and medium-sized ships protected the main battleships and moved them to the open sea. A large number of naval aircraft that were originally sent to reinforce the land battlefield were also urgently called back to block the Volunteer Air Force.

At this time, the importance of the anti-aircraft guns on naval ships was revealed, but the Japanese Navy's anti-aircraft guns were a model of Showa defense, and could not form an effective lethal barrage at all, and interception was a joke. So not long after, the Kaga was hit from the side by the Stuka of the player Enterprise.

The good news is that it will not sink, but the bad news is that there is no way for planes to take off and land. After completing the mission, the Japanese naval aviation can only fly back to the land airport to land. The situation of the Akagi is completely hopeless, and the Japanese can only watch one of their main aircraft carriers sink to the bottom of the sea.

However, there are still some small ships that are holding on, mainly to rescue people, such as the Yukikaze.

Xuefeng came online early to rescue people. Is this good luck that she gained by accumulating good reputation for herself?

Metaphysics can sometimes really be useful.

The Japanese Navy, frightened off by the players' desperate tactics, completely lost the ability to support land operations in Shanghai, which meant that the players could let go and continue to advance.

"Two hundred meters ahead, shoot!"

With a loud bang, the 203-caliber artillery shells smashed the Japanese bunkers blocking the road, and then other volunteer officers and soldiers rushed forward and used submachine guns, shotguns and flamethrowers to deal with the remaining enemies.

"Beautiful, keep going."

With a wave of his hand, Gengwu's street fighting team officially began to advance towards the urban area of ​​Shanghai and carry out demolition work in the entire Magic City.

After entering the city, the volunteers did not take the normal roads at all. Instead, they pushed forward in a straight line when they heard the sound, flattening and crushing all the houses along the way. It was not a reinforced concrete forest of the level of Stalingrad. The 203 caliber Type 4 assault gun was overpowered here, and the 105 short-barreled assault gun was enough. Anything above the 152 level was just bullying.

However, all the players are in the late stage of insufficient firepower fear, so they can only rely on these large tubes for slight treatment. They cannot become smaller, but can only become bigger.

Because the No. 4 152/203 was too thick-skinned (physically) for the Japanese army, the close-range shooting of the Volunteer Army in street fighting was compressed from a few hundred meters at the beginning to as close as possible. The closest distance was even less than 50 meters, which directly sprayed the Japanese and the buildings into flying fragments.

The assault team led by Ivan mainly carries grenades, explosive packs, submachine guns, shotguns and sniper rifles, which are specially used to deal with enemies hiding in corners and are very targeted.

Although the players were fighting in chaos, Liu Qi, the commander behind the scenes, still planned a tactic, which was to completely cut the entire Shanghai city into several pieces, and then quickly and accurately sweep it, so that the Japanese resistance could only be isolated.

They don't have time to dig Shanghai into Gaza. Even if they did, with the invaders on one side and the true heroes who recovered their homeland on the other, the outcome of the war would still be certain. -p

Moreover, players also have a small map to assist them, sharing the enemy's lock information with each other, and any enemy locked by the player can be marked on the map within the next half hour. The players made full use of this advantage and deliberately let some locked enemies go, letting them go to the nearest other Japanese city strongholds and then wipe them out in one fell swoop.

As the players stepped into downtown Shanghai, night fell, which made the Japanese army feel a little relieved.

It’s late at night, you volunteers can’t continue the attack.

Section 45: Cooking the Sauce with a High Fire

(10,000 words updated! I finally finished the update ticket. I'm exhausted. You guys are so cruel.)

"Extraordinary! The Volunteer Army has entered downtown Shanghai and has killed over 30,000 Japanese soldiers!"

"The Japanese army is reinforcing Shanghai, with an estimated 100,000 additional troops!"

"The Volunteer Army is making good progress, and Shanghai will soon be liberated!"

At the beginning of 1938, the whole of China was like the New Year, with good news every day.

Although the Red Party is still growing, although the Kuomintang is ineffective, and although China's armed forces as a whole are still being beaten by the Japanese, the volunteer army composed mainly of Chinese is about to recover the country's territory.

This is a real victory, and everyone has to admit it.

"Quick, give me a newspaper!"

"I want one too!"

"Give me two!"

For the Chinese people at this time, now is the real Chinese New Year.

Whether in Chongqing or Yan'an, the sound of firecrackers soon began to be heard. This was just the beginning. When the volunteer army completely liberated Shanghai, the scene would be even more lively.

"The Volunteer Army is a great threat to the country."

The chairman paced back and forth in the study, while Boss Dai and Secretary Chen watched him walk around.

Not long ago, Commander Li of the Fifth War Zone was ready to give the Japanese a severe blow in Taierzhuang, but he never expected that the Japanese retreated halfway. Commander Li, who thought this was an opportunity, ordered the pursuit of the Japanese army, hoping to win a battle. However, the combat effectiveness of the national army was still good in defensive battles, but once it turned into a field combat mode, the messy team during the march was already a huge laughing stock. What's more, they did not have the air superiority of the Volunteer Army, and were bullied by non-Japanese aircraft. Their routes were completely exposed during the movement.

What happened next was very simple. Commander Li, who had won a great victory in the Battle of Taierzhuang in history, was ambushed by the Japanese near Linyi this time. He was hit by four bullets, but none of them hit the vital parts. He was protected by the guards at the risk of his life, but the pursuing National Army soldiers suffered heavy casualties. If the Japanese army had pursued him, Xuzhou would have been lost.

At this time, Commander Li had to thank the volunteer army for launching the third Battle of Shanghai. Because the situation in Shanghai was extremely urgent, the Japanese army was forced to give up subsequent counterattacks and mobilize troops to defend Shanghai. Now the two sides are fighting in the ruins of Shanghai.

Defending Nanjing and taking Shanghai means that the economically prosperous areas before the Kuomintang were completely controlled by you, the Support Bureau. The Chairman felt heartbroken when he thought that there was a hand called the Volunteer Army in his wallet.

He knew too well the ability of the Jiangsu and Zhejiang financial groups and local families to adapt to the situation. Moreover, the Volunteer Army was the ultimate form of the Red Party with enhanced capabilities and sufficient top-level martial ethics. When the time came for a knife to be put on their necks, these people would only kneel faster.

"National affairs are difficult, national affairs are difficult!"

The chairman slammed the ground hard with the stick in his hand.

If they are people from the same system, he can use political conspiracy to take them down. If they are small warlords who only care about themselves, the chairman can use silver bullets to make them surrender.

But the Volunteer Army was a powerful outsider. The strong dragon crushed the local snake and became the king of the mountain. Facing the real dragon, the Chairman had no way to deal with it. He couldn't go to war with the Volunteer Army. The previous punishment of the Volunteer Army directly turned Nanjing into Huijing. If this happened again, I am afraid that Jiangsu Province would swallow Anhui and Zhejiang together.

By then, the Volunteer Army will have completely controlled the richest coastal provinces, and can also go north to Shandong, south to Fujian, or directly attack the inland. As long as they are strong enough, the Kuomintang will definitely not be able to stop them.

Moreover, given the enthusiastic support of the people in the areas liberated by the Volunteer Army, it is really questionable who will own the future of China.

"Are there no actions in other war zones?"

Although Commander Li's Fifth War Zone failed, at least he really dared to attack and was able to bring back the remaining troops for re-equipment. His ability is beyond doubt. Now the Kuomintang is most in need of capable fighters, so regarding Commander Li's failure, the Chairman only sent a telegram to inquire about his injuries and did not mention anything else.

Secretary Chen shook his head at the chairman with an unpleasant expression.

The chairman waved his hand. It seemed that the other war zones did not have such courage. They were really a bunch of useless people.

At this time, Boss Dai stepped forward and whispered, "Leader, intelligence shows that the Red Party has colluded with the Volunteer Army, and it seems that the two sides will have further contact."

The chairman's expression became even uglier.

He now really wants to repeat the strategy of "pacifying the country before resisting foreign aggression", but the problem is that he cannot do so, at least there is no suitable opportunity at the moment. The Southern Anhui Incident also requires timing. He dare not attack the well-equipped volunteer army who beat the Japanese like a grandson. Their bombers can really fly to Chongqing to bomb.

However, the Chairman still ordered other war zones to take action and show the power of the National Army. It is impossible for the National Army to stand by and act as decoration while the Volunteer Army sweeps across the country. Where would the legitimacy of the regime after the victory come from?

Fight for the empire, fight for the empire. This empire was not won by you, be careful or you might get burned.

At the same time, Shanghai is particularly lively at night.

One flare after another lit up in the sky, and the figures of volunteer soldiers and officers shuttled through the ruins. Today's Shanghai at night is much more beautiful than the Shanghai at night in the Magic City. Everywhere is filled with the ashes of the past and the old days. The destruction before creation is also very beautiful.

"Crazy, a bunch of crazy people."

Private First Class Inoue gritted his teeth and loaded the Type 38 rifle in his hand. Just now, his squad was attacked by the Volunteer Army's tanks. With just one speech, the commander of the 203rd unit left Inoue alone in his squad.

But his condition was also very bad. His left leg was blown off. He survived the rubble by chance and could only simply treat his wound, which also meant that he had lost the possibility of escaping from here.

"Come on, come on, Chinamen!"

Inoue's face was grim. He knew he was not going to survive, so he had to take someone with him before he died.

For him, from the day he set foot on this land, he experienced all kinds of victories. He could play with Chinese women at will, kill Chinese men, and throw Chinese babies to death. These made him feel extremely excited and happy.

The empire is invincible. Even if it fails temporarily, it will surely be able to...

“Aa ...

Inoue screamed and began to roll around in the ruins, because the people who rushed in to communicate with him were not volunteers, but a ball of flames. The volunteers outside were holding flamethrowers to put out the fire.

Yue Cheng pointed inside and said, "I knew there was someone in there. They're making such a big noise."

"Do you want to fire two more shots?" He Shigeng asked.

"That's not necessary. Aren't the devil's screams very beautiful?"

"Right."

He Shigeng shrugged, and then the two climbed onto the tank and rushed to the next target.
