The Fourth Disaster, Starting from the Movie Eight Hundred

In fact, it was still embarrassing. They all won second-class merit. The veteran on my left blew up two tanks, and the instructor on my right killed more than ten Japanese soldiers. I ran the whole time, and apart from being covered in dust and getting a few assists, I didn't get any effective kills at all. But when it came to rewarding, everyone won second-class merit.

I feel my ears are burning, sorry, I must fight hard next time on the battlefield!

In a word: young soldiers are eager for merit.

Now, their chance to make achievements has come. They are still the main force in the front-line attack. The original veterans have been transferred to more difficult tasks, and the front line can only rely on themselves.

At this time, all the local conscript volunteers had fire burning in their hearts, while the Japanese soldiers on the opposite side felt a chill on their necks.

Why does it feel like the other side is being watched by tigers and wolves? It's so scary! (Groundhog screams)

Chapter 73: There is a way if we hold on firmly!

(Third update! Please give me comments, votes, and coins!)

"Requesting tactical guidance! Requesting tactical guidance!"

At this time, the Volunteer Army had not yet attacked Changchun, but no one stipulated that requests for help could only be made when the Volunteer Army attacked.

Speaking of which, when the Volunteer Army really launches a full-scale attack, there is no point in asking for help. Just arrange a body collection team!

The Japanese army failed to stop the Volunteer Army in the bloody street fighting in Shanghai. It is somewhat disrespectful to reality to rely solely on Changchun, which only has a small part of the city walls and moat left, to resist the siege of the Volunteer Army.

"Reinforcements are on the way. If we hold on firmly, there will be a solution!"

This time the Japanese Kwantung Army was quite efficient. They started preparing after the end of the Harbin Campaign, so a large number of reinforcements were quickly on the way and advanced towards Changchun despite the bombing of the Volunteer Army.

At the same time, the Japanese government also made diplomatic efforts and reached a temporary alliance with the Soviet Union to a certain extent to deal with the ignorant volunteer army.

But both Japan and the Soviet Union knew that this ally was essentially fighting each other. If they expected mutual support and help, you might as well believe that host 69 is Qin Shihuang, remember to V me fifty, today is Thursday (funny).

By the way, Changchun at that time was not called Changchun, but "Xinjing", the capital of the puppet Manchukuo. Of course, we Northeasterners absolutely do not recognize this crappy name of Xinjing. It represents humiliation. Moreover, the puppet Manchukuo is a puppet regime, which is essentially completely obedient to the orders of the devils. The military and political power are controlled by Japan. Puyi, that waste, even has to be careful when speaking.

At this time, Changchun was built by the Japanese as a "model city in East Asia" and the urban planning was very modern, but these things had nothing to do with the Chinese. The invaders were the ones who enjoyed all of this. The local Japanese and Chinese were strictly separated, which facilitated the accurate delivery of artillery shells by the volunteers.

On February 2, 1939, the Battle of Changchun officially started. The Volunteer Army presented an army of 2 people on the front line, many of whom were recruits, but their weapons were luxurious.

"Correct all parameters!"

The first ones to start working were definitely the Xuanyue Cannon and the 10 K5 railway cannons. The other heavy artillery were quickly adjusted, but the iconic first shot must be deafening.

That must be played by the Xuanyue Cannon.

At 7:11 a.m., accompanied by a loud bang from the Xuanyue Cannon, thousands of artillery pieces of the Volunteer Army fired at the same time.

The Volunteer Army deployed more than 500 heavy artillery pieces in the Changchun Campaign, including 100 B-4 howitzers. The smallest remaining ones were 152 caliber. The only remaining ones could be found in the barrels of tanks and assault guns.

The earth was shaking outside Changchun City, and the Japanese were feeling the intensity of the artillery bombardment on the Western Front of World War I.

It can also be said to be the intensity of the future Stalingrad artillery battle.

No mercy, no need for compassion, only bombing, bombing and more terrifying bombing.

Looking from the sky at this time, the entire outskirts of Changchun were like boiling hot water, with explosions everywhere, and the Japanese fortifications were wiped out in large numbers. Because of the previous deterrent bombing by the Volunteer Army, the Japs no longer dared to take hostages, but it was impossible for them to withstand the Volunteer Army's heavy artillery, so the arduous task of guarding outside the city was given to the puppet army and the "new citizens" recruited from North Korea and Taiwan.

These guys with convert fanaticism were very suitable cannon fodder, but now they have really turned into ashes.

Let customers fully enjoy fragmented services (confidence).

The crude fortifications outside the city could not withstand the heavy artillery bombardment at all, while the Japanese gathering areas in Changchun were given special attention. The isolation policy that the Japanese previously thought was very good has now become their death warrant.

It’s really a great target. They even thoughtfully marked the specific location for you and don’t allow Chinese people to get close to it.

Okay, okay, if we don’t take good care of this, people will think that we don’t have enough artillery shells. We must bomb them hard. Every household must have their own artillery shells, so that the local Japanese can fully enjoy the freedom of artillery shells.

Then the Japanese soldiers fully experienced what it meant to be "bombs raining down."

The barrage in later Eastern games is like this, but the game can be played again, but you can only pay attention to this in your next life.

When Harbin was liberated, the Japanese living there had already anticipated that such a day would come in Changchun, but they did not expect it to come so soon. They had nowhere to run to because there were not enough anti-bomb holes in the city. However, the Chinese neighborhood next door was peaceful. As long as they got there...

The volunteers certainly knew what the Japanese would do at this time, so when the bombing of the Japanese gathering area in Changchun City began, one Stuka after another roared in and drew a flaming wall with incendiary bombs.

If the Japanese want to hide in the area where Chinese people gather, they have to bypass this wall of fire first.

At this moment, one Stuka after another came roaring in, including the Cannon Bird that the Japanese feared the most.

Because other volunteer army bombers just bomb and then leave, but the Cannon Bird often hovers in the sky, ready to greet the targets they think are high-value at any time. The 37mm caliber shells are enough to smash any armored force from top to bottom. This thing was able to destroy IS tanks on the Eastern Front in history, let alone the Japanese soldiers.

In fact, many of the Cannon Birds that players have modified have been changed to 20mm caliber, because the Japanese land combat units are too fragile. If it were not for the damage effect and the need for air support, players would even want to directly replace all the Cannon Birds with six 12.7mm machine guns to penetrate incendiary bullets. Anyway, the Japanese armored vehicles can't withstand it, so why waste resources?

But for the Japanese soldiers on the ground, no matter what caliber of the weapon hit them, the result would be the same. Either their bodies would be broken into pieces, or they would be shattered into pieces. The worst case scenario would be landing within a radius of 100 meters. If every part of the human body could be connected to Bluetooth, the scene would be like flowers blooming from the sky.

However, this time players discovered that the Japanese army's air defense firepower was significantly enhanced. Those rubbish used for nuclear air defense disappeared, and were replaced by Oerlikon and Bofors, the same models as the Volunteer Army, but produced by the Japanese army themselves.

Japan also introduced these two classic weapons, but during use, due to internal conflicts between the army and the navy in Japan, the ones used by the army were not used by the navy, and the ones used by the navy were not used by the army. The same equipment had two configurations, and the screws had to be tightened in different directions.

The Swedish side was actually very puzzled. I sold these blueprints to your navy, so why did your army come to buy them again? Aren't you from the same country?

In a sense, they are not really from the same country (according to the division of feudal states in Japan during the Warring States Period), and the army and navy are using regional discrimination to hinder each other.

Our regional discrimination is nothing. The real regional discrimination depends on one’s daily life. Tsk tsk tsk tsk.

But no matter how many internal conflicts there are, when the actual battlefield situation is overwhelmingly unfavorable and directly threatens their lives, the Japanese side can still make some adjustments. For example, now, no matter what the problem is with naval and land equipment, they must use it if it is useful. Otherwise, when the volunteer army liberates the entire Northeast, the Korean Peninsula will not be able to be defended.

The Japanese really fought hard in Changchun this time. The arsenals in the entire Northeast region were also operating at full capacity. Various weapons and ammunition were produced continuously and then thrown into the bottomless pit of war.

The lifeline of Manchuria and Mongolia cannot be lost.

"I didn't expect to see such an intense war in the East. I thought it was only the domain of industrial nations."

"It is obvious that the Volunteer Army is a modern army armed with industrialized power. Their technical and tactical level is far beyond our imagination."

"If our troops were attacked like this."

"It won't get much better."

These secret observers are military observers from various countries. If those foreign powers still don't pay attention to the war in the East at this point in the war, then they don't deserve to be called great powers. Imperialist countries are very sensitive to war, especially the great powers during the First and Second World Wars. Each of them is very clear about where their dignity and status come from. Compared with the European countries in 2025, they are at least a hundred times stronger than Vichy France. -p

Here’s a joke: Vichy France was more capable of fighting than most countries in the current EU.

"Hey, look, what's that?"

Everyone raised their heads and looked in the direction pointed by the American military adviser.

All I saw were blooming white parasols in the sky. At the same time, the intensity of the volunteers' air support increased significantly, and they began to attack the Japanese anti-aircraft guns at the risk of their lives.

"Airborne operations, the Volunteer Army is using space warfare on a large scale!"

"There are still many Japanese troops that have been established by airborne paratroopers at this time. Can they stand firm?"

"I think this is a stupid tactic, but the Volunteer Army is not an army that can be understood by common sense, so I decided to wait and see for the time being and not jump to conclusions."

Military observers from other countries nodded. After witnessing so many miraculous achievements of the Volunteer Army, they also tended to believe that this was part of the Volunteer Army's plan. They did not know the full picture of the plan, so it was better not to talk nonsense, so as not to be slapped in the face by reality.

Officers who can go to the battlefield are all very realistic and rational, because those who are irrational will be forced to learn a lesson by artillery shells and bullets.

You may not believe in the volunteer army's ability to create miracles, but you'd better not doubt the lethality of modern weapons.

The Japanese army naturally noticed the parachute flowers appearing in the sky, so they decisively began to hunt down the volunteer soldiers who were floating in the sky and looked extremely fragile, and soon achieved results.

Many volunteers were killed during their landing, but some caught the Japanese army off guard.

"I found that the volunteer army paratroopers are gathering. They don't have heavy weapons. Kill them..."

After a loud bang, the Japanese officer's words went up into the sky along with him.

Under the stunned gaze of the Japanese troops on the opposite side, the paratroopers, armed only with light weapons, drove out a T-34/76 tank that was impossible to drop from a plane.

Bought it now, there are players in this volunteer army's paratrooper squad.

"The Volunteer Army paratroopers can drop heavy weapons. They have tanks. Requesting tactical guidance!"

Chapter 74: Military Soul, Iron Army

(Fourth update, 10,000 words, today is also a day of self-improvement! Comrades, do you still have monthly tickets, reminders, and coins? If not, can you please leave some comments?)

From the day humans invented airplanes, war and killing were brought to the sky.

The advantages of airplanes are speed and suddenness, while the advantages of tanks are firepower and protection. Combining the two gave rise to the concept of a flying tank.

Don't laugh, the Soviet Union actually developed this kind of tank, but due to the limitations of the technical conditions at the time, it ultimately became a consumable for local raids, a rare exhibit in military museums, and a revelation on the Internet.

However, humans are determined to focus on the technology of airdropping tanks. For example, the British Little Lord, the Soviet Union's integrated man-vehicle airdrop, and the Principality of Zeon's Wolf Fighting are all the results of the flourishing of this technology route (nods).

There was just one small problem. Given the tank's tonnage, allowing it to land smoothly required a lot of technical redesign. The speed couldn't be too slow, otherwise it would become a sitting duck, and it couldn't be too fast, otherwise it would fall into a QR code. Anyway, the solution provided by Soviet military experts was rocket-assisted reverse thrust, and the scene was quite spectacular.

But that was during the Cold War. The current level of technology obviously does not allow such green-skinned technology to become a reality.

It's not that it can't be used at all, but the main thing is that after it's used up, the chariot may be cooked inside and out, or a firework can be set off in the middle of the process, turning the chariot into an iron coffin in one step. -p

In any case, Japan's current level of technology is definitely not capable of doing this. At best, they can airdrop a small creature, and that requires a transport plane to force a landing and then get out of it. It is impossible to directly drop a parachute.

In fact, the Japanese soldiers did not see the tanks floating in the sky, but now the volunteers on the opposite side really drove out a heavy tank (in the eyes of the Japanese army, T-34 is a heavy tank). It can't be that it appeared on the spot, so it must have been dropped from the sky.

Or give a more outrageous reason, they hid a tank here in advance and will use it after the airborne landing today.

It seems that the speculation of dropping tanks directly from the sky is more reliable.

With the addition of heavy weapons, the Japanese army's defensive pressure increased sharply, and the players entering the city began to quickly re-recruit the fallen NPC commanders and fighters, allowing them to continuously enter the battlefield. As time went on, the number of parachute flowers in the sky did become fewer and fewer, but the number of volunteers in Changchun City became more and more outrageous.

There were 500 players who airdropped directly into Changchun. Including the NPC officers and soldiers they recruited, the number soared to more than 4,000. Moreover, these were not paratroopers with only light weapons who could only rely on surprise attacks to seize key nodes, but heavily armored soldiers who could deploy armored forces immediately after landing.

The sight of this armored division airdropping into the heart of the enemy really made the Japanese army's heart stop.

"The Volunteer Army's tanks are coming, and we're suffering heavy losses!"

"Suicide squad, prepare the suicide squad!"

"It's too late, they're coming to kill us!"

Players who opened the T-34/76 were considered relatively gentle, and more players chose the Panzer IV 152/203 assault gun.

After being tempered in actual combat, this weapon has been honed to a very mature state, and all the previous problems have been corrected by players. After fully summarizing the past combat experience, players found that in at least 90% of the combat scenarios, the firepower of 152 is excessive, and 203 is completely unnecessary. Because old China is not like Europe, there are not so many reinforced concrete buildings. Even in big cities, local buildings cannot withstand the close-range direct fire of 152. In terms of reloading speed, 152 is far better than 203.

However, the 203 still has its value, especially when loaded with close-range shotgun shells. It feels great to clear a street with one run, so players choose to mix the No. 4 152 and No. 4 203 in a ratio of ten to one or five to one, and coordinate with infantry fighting vehicles equipped with machine guns or anti-aircraft machine guns, which makes them invincible in street fighting.

Urban buildings that are a little difficult for light weapons to destroy will turn into broken stones in the face of the caliber of anti-aircraft machine guns, and the enemies behind them will basically be either dead or disabled.

Self-propelled anti-aircraft guns are indeed very useful when they are leveled. This is the summary of the Russian army in the Chechen War. Especially when using it to strafe buildings, it is more fun than any decompression game.

If you encounter a difficult problem at an angle, it’s okay, just call your teammates in the sky to handle it.

Unconsciously, players have become very accustomed to this combat mode and have applied it smoothly in practice.

The Japanese soldiers were bombed and cried "Duo Sang" and "Ka Sang".

The situation of central development has been formed, and players have begun to quickly seize various key nodes in the city. Next, it depends on whether the conscripted volunteers outside the city are powerful enough.

In the trenches outside Changchun, the volunteer soldiers listened to the sound of artillery fire while waiting for the moment to attack. Their young faces were filled with determination. Although there was tension, they were more eager for victory.

"Commando, assemble!"

This is an old tradition before the Volunteer Army's charge. Players will form a group of NPC commanders and fighters into a suicide squad, and leave the most difficult initial breakthrough tasks to them. However, this time the commando assembly encountered some minor changes.

"Guzi, what are you doing? Go back and stay!"

"Squad leader, I am also a volunteer soldier, I want to be a commando too!"

Gu Zi's words were like a seed that had entered high-purity uranium 235, instantly triggering a chain reaction.

"Yes, squad leader, let us go with you!"

"Yes, squad leader, you always take on the most dangerous missions. We're not much different, so let us go too!"

"And us, and us!"

Soon, all the volunteer soldiers on the entire front line stood up. They were all local conscripts. Unlike the players and the NPCs controlled by the players, they only had one life, and once they died, there was no possibility of resurrection. They were not aware of the magic of the players and NPCs. They only knew that every time the most dangerous mission was carried out, these old squad leaders and old superiors were at the forefront. They bleed and sacrificed, but did not want any merit.

Gu Zi didn't understand any big principles, and he knew that his practical skills were not as good as the old squad leader's, but he also wanted to be a brave soldier and use his own hands to liberate the land under his feet and liberate his hometown.

Under the determined gazes, the caracal Lin Luan nodded vigorously.

"Okay, then add two more people to each squad. You decide for yourselves. Only the best ones can go. This is a commando team, and we're all going to attack the most dangerous places. Before you leave, if there's anything you need to say or explain, make sure it's done."

"Yes!"

This is the first time since the establishment of the Volunteer Army that players have led the charge with locally recruited volunteer soldiers. Everyone here is the elite among the elite, and they have been protected under the wings of the players in the past. The most common function is military parades. Players feel extremely satisfied when they see the phalanxes wearing various medals and marching in neat steps past them.

But they are flesh and blood people after all, not dull and rigid computer data. They also have feelings and their own will. Now, they choose to step onto the battlefield of life and death with the will of steel.

No regrets even if I die!

They left behind letters home, last words, and things they felt they should leave behind. At this moment, the Volunteer Army truly possessed its own military spirit.
