The Fourth Disaster, Starting from the Movie Eight Hundred

The two quadruple 610mm torpedo tubes on the Yukikaze fired all the torpedoes in the shortest time possible, while the Liao (Jin) Ning (Lin) on the opposite side acted as if it did not see the torpedoes at all and took a full eight 610mm torpedoes on its side. The huge explosion even lifted the Liao (Jin) Ning (Lin) slightly from the sea surface.

It's over! Victory belongs to...

“No...impossible...how is this possible...?”

In the captain's room of the Yukikaze, Captain Kenjiro Tobita rubbed his eyes hard, and then he and everyone in the bridge were stunned.

That's right, the speed of the Liao (Jin) Ning (Lin) slowed down and seawater began to flow in, but soon the speed of the Liao (Jin) Ning (Lin) began to recover, and they saw with their own eyes that the huge breach was healing.

Yes, it was healing, healing at a speed visible to the naked eye. The seawater was squeezed out, and the new hull grew like flesh and blood growing back from a wound in the human body. Soon, only a large black coating was left, proving that the Yukikaze had indeed been hit there by a torpedo.

Just one minute later, the Liao (Jining Lin)'s speed, which had dropped sharply, quickly recovered. I don't know if it was an illusion, but in Kenjiro Tobita's eyes, the Liao (Jining Lin) seemed to be running faster than before.

It really wasn’t an illusion, I was overloading this time (smile).

Kenjiro Tobita slowly knelt on the bridge, and the Yukikaze fled away from the battlefield like a deserter who had lost all courage.

The Yukikaze was lucky, as she escaped from the hellish Taiwan Strait. Kenjiro Tobita was also lucky, as after the operation, he was diagnosed with severe mental disorder and was unfit to continue serving. He bid farewell to the Japanese Navy completely, lived until after the war, and became a famous anti-war cartoonist.

In June 1950, Kenjiro Tobita's science fiction manga "Deep Blue Lane" was published. In this manga, Kenjiro Tobita created a super battleship to save the world. The commander on board was a Chinese-born soldier named Hua Xia. He was just, courageous, loyal, benevolent, and had an internationalist spirit. He was a representative of the perfect soldier. The super battleship he commanded, which had self-repair capabilities, was called "Liaoning".

At that time, he already knew that it was not the Liaoning that fought against them, but its sister ship Jilin. However, for him, no matter what the name of the battleship that appeared in front of him that day was, in his heart, it was called "Liaoning".

It was not until the third year after the end of World War II that Kenjiro Tobita learned that in the Taiwan Strait that year, the Japanese air defense fleet was completely wiped out and no one escaped the pursuit of the Liao (Jin) Ning (Lin). The Liao (Jin) Ning (Lin) single-handedly created the most outrageous record in human naval history.

She shot down 478 Japanese planes, sank six cruisers and 22 destroyers, was hit by 72 torpedoes and more than 500 bombs (confirmed), and had 37 planes crash into her (including the Japanese Air Group stationed in Taiwan that arrived from behind), but she completed the entire mission with almost no slowdown. The main maintenance work after returning was just a repaint.

Thus, the undefeated legend of the Liao (Jin) Ning (Lin) began.

Chapter 144: Liaoning, the memory of the times

(The fourth update. Today is also a 10,000-word day. Does anyone have any votes? Give some? But students, please don't give rewards and votes. Your money is given by your families. Other comrades should just do what they can. I am very happy with the current performance of this book. After all, Shao Nian Meng is still a small website. It is entirely due to the kindness of comrades that we can still achieve such good results with this size. I will continue to work hard and strive to update 10,000 words every day! If I have to work overtime, I will let you know in advance. That is force majeure. I hope you can understand when the time comes.)

An individual's success depends not only on his or her own efforts, but also on the historical trend.

Hello, the user you called has gone to report for work and is currently out of service area.

It is no exaggeration to say that the Jilin is such a legend. From now on, as long as it appears there, it will become a legend, and a living legend at that.

No warship in human history has ever had such a huge historical impact.

After the Battle of the Taiwan Strait, the navies of the entire world suffered a huge shock. Military historians called this shock the "Jilin Shock" or "Battleship Echo", while the Japanese side translated it in a very childish way as "The Glory of the Former Overlord".

For various reasons, some countries' relevant materials write "Liaoning impact", but this is not wrong, because in the subsequent Korean Campaign, the real Liaoning intercepted the Japanese navy that tried to land from behind in the Yellow Sea, and achieved results no less than the Jilin, which completely confirmed the fact that the Liaoning is a national weapon in the new era.

How exaggerated was the impact of the Battle of the Taiwan Strait? All countries subsequently launched a battleship construction frenzy.

After all, battleships are the confirmed dominant battleships, and aircraft carriers still lack strategic victories to prove the value of "those who are good at attacking move above the nine heavens." In addition, the conservatives actually outnumber the reformers within the armies of various countries. Therefore, the battleship faction successfully counterattacked the aircraft carrier faction and briefly returned to its former lofty status.

But this is just the last flash in the pan for the old overlords of the ocean age. Soon all countries will understand that it is not that battleships are stronger than aircraft carriers, but that the battleships of the Volunteer Army are stronger than all the battleships of all countries. The key point is not battleships or aircraft carriers, but whether the people who use battleships or aircraft carriers are volunteers.

But that's all in the future. In any case, facing the horrific record of the Jilin destroying all the carrier-based aircraft of Japan's two main aircraft carriers, everyone would have to wonder whether planes shooting down warships is the future, a joke, or just a coincidence.

At least before other powers suffered severe losses, they all believed that battleships were the orthodox.

The first country to be hit was the Soviet Union.

As the second-worst country to be beaten by the Volunteer Army, regardless of whether the Soviet Union officially admitted it, a "Volunteer Army weapons craze" swept across the country. Simply put, everything the Volunteer Army had, we must have, everything the Volunteer Army used, we must use. If we couldn't understand it, it was because we were not experienced enough, and if we couldn't use it now, it was because we couldn't comprehend the spirit. In short, we should emulate the Volunteer Army, and the Volunteer Army's direction was the direction of the Soviet Army's development.

In addition, Comrade Steel himself was a fan of big ships and big guns. The sum of one plus one directly produced a magical effect greater than 114514, which directly overturned all discussions within the Soviet Union on whether to use battleships or aircraft carriers.

Battleships, they must be battleships, and only battleships. Anyone who dares to say anything on this issue is disloyal and dishonest to the Soviet Union, has lost his ideals and beliefs, and will be sent to the Gulag... Oh, that place is already the territory of the new Soviet Union, but the Arctic Ocean can still be used as a new version of the Gulag Hotel. Send this traitor to live with the polar bears as a loving family!

Then the Soviet Union plunged headfirst into the battleship pit with the determination to throw itself into a well and never came out. It was not until 1960 that it began to conduct aircraft carrier research, a full ten years later than other countries.

But in terms of being affected, the country that was most affected was not the Soviet Union, but Japan, which was directly beaten.

Although the Japanese Empire officials strictly blocked all details and news about the battle in the Taiwan Strait, the Japanese Navy had a fear of the Volunteer Army's Liaoning that far exceeded that of the Dingyuan and Zhenyuan. After all, those two ironclad ships were still within the range of damage that could be caused by normal weapons. But the fact that the Jilin fought the entire battle and only changed a layer of paint when it returned had trampled on their three views and ravaged them, and they could not fight back at all.

So Japan also embarked on the road of no return to the war, right?

No, no, no, the opposite is true. Japan has gone straight down the path of aircraft carriers and has never looked back.

Wait a minute, this, this doesn't seem right, how come they are on the right track?

Because of the Japanese people's magical thinking.

As a nation with a morbid worship of the strong, Japan has infinite respect for all the big guys who can beat them and learn from them. But if the gap between the two sides is so big that it is incomprehensible, then the Japanese thinking logic will start to operate in a more distorted way.

The general process is as follows:

The Liaoning is invincible, so we cannot defeat the Liaoning. Therefore, we can conclude that such a terrifying warship is a divine object that our inferior nation cannot build at all. Since we can't build it, let's not waste resources and change a technical route. But we absolutely respect the Liaoning!

Then a magical thing happened. The Japanese Navy began to build aircraft carriers on a large scale because they believed that they were no match for the Volunteer Army in terms of decisive weapons. Their mentality now was almost the same as that of Japan when it was beaten by the Tang Dynasty.

However, the Japanese people began to worship battleships, believing that they were a symbol of strength and power. The photo of the Liaoning, in particular, became the embodiment of the battleship totem. In 1940, if a newspaper in Japan published a picture of the Liaoning, sales of luxury military peripherals would increase several times.

At that time, there was a local tabloid called "Kyoto Newspaper". Its sales increased tenfold simply because the newspaper's amateur artist drew an imaginary picture of the Liaoning.

You know, the mistakes in this painting are even more than the bad things done by the US government, but it still can't stop the Japanese people's worship of battleships. This local tabloid also took this opportunity to grow bigger and stronger, and eventually embarked on the path of producing comics and animations. In 1961, it was reorganized into "Kyoto Animation Company" and became the Kyoto Animation of this world.

But Japan's admiration for the Liaoning does not stop there. Osamu Tezuka, who would later become a famous Japanese cartoonist and was still a young man at the time, was an avid fan of "Liaoning peripherals" and collected two tons of various Liaoning peripherals. In order to express his love for the Liaoning, he directly chose the science fiction animation track and inserted his own personal goods into his subsequent series of famous works. Anyway, in this parallel world, as long as you see a battleship appear in Tezuka Osamu's works, no matter whether it is in the sea or in the sky, it must be called Liaoning, and it will definitely help the protagonist overcome difficulties when he encounters difficulties.

If you think this is outrageous, it gets even more outrageous.

In 1979 in this world line, the "Gundam" series created by Yoshiyuki Tomino entered the historical stage. However, just because Tomino placed the wreckage of a battleship that looked like the destroyed Liaoning in the background of the comics, the "Gundam" series was almost cut off at its peak. Because more than nine-tenths of the people in the company were Liaoning chefs, and there were a large number of Liaoning admirers in Japan, you broke their spiritual totem, which was unacceptable and directly triggered major national public opinion.

After hearing about this, Mr. Osamu Tezuka, who was 51 years old at the time, was so angry that he temporarily interrupted his overseas trip. He ran all the way to the company where Tomino Yoshiyuki worked and dragged him out to scold him. After that, Tomino Yoshiyuki had to bow and apologize to all Japanese citizens on various occasions for a month, trying his best to prove that he was actually the chef of Liaoning. Such an inappropriate scene appeared in the work because he liked Liaoning so much that he couldn't help but draw it in the composition. This is all caused by true love. Please understand.

In 1970, the Liaoning was decommissioned. Xinhua discussed converting it into a battleship museum, but for some reason, when the news reached Japan, it became "due to financial constraints, the Liaoning will be demolished."

This stirred up a hornet's nest for the Liaoning's chefs. The whole of Japan started a trend of "donating money to the Liaoning to build a memorial hall". In just three days, they raised money equivalent to twice the cost of the Liaoning. The Japanese officials even sent a special envoy to Xinhua, hoping that for the sake of the friendship between the two countries, the Liaoning would not be demolished. Such a commemorative and meritorious warship should be transformed into a battleship museum. This is a great testimony to the friendship between our two countries!

Although I don’t know what Japanese netizens were thinking, domestic netizens at that time really couldn’t hold it in anymore.

That's not right. Back then, the Liaoning's relationship with you was nothing more than a beating-up of your grandfather and father. How can this be considered part of a traditional friendship? Is this the kind of "stabbing" friendship heirloom from Devil May Cry? Isn't this a bit too much admiration?

Xinhua had never intended to demolish the Liaoning, but rather to turn it into a memorial. After explaining this, the diplomatic incident was finally resolved peacefully. Ultimately, the Liaoning enjoyed a comfortable retirement at the site of her birth as a battleship memorial. On the opening day of the Liaoning Battleship Memorial, Japanese tourists accounted for 69% of the total visitors, and over the next 20 years, this proportion has remained at an average of over 20% annually.

Are you eager to experience this legendary warship up close and personal? Then hurry up and download the new-age mobile game "International Routes." On September 25th, "International Routes" will be updated to version 6.0, featuring the limited-time construction of the legendary Liaoning. So what are you waiting for? Let's follow in the footsteps of legend and return to the era of great ships and cannons!

"International Route", this is a ship, go into battle immediately!

Chapter 145: Tanks emerging from the ground

(First update, not sure if there will be a second one, because I encountered some very difficult things today and yesterday. Yesterday I had an overtime meeting, and the content of the meeting was how not to work overtime. Today I have another meeting, and the content is the same as yesterday, and I still have to write my thoughts. I am so happy; I am thinking about your grandma's legs ah ah ah ah ah ah ah!!!)

Just as the Liaoning's impact swept the world, the Japanese army, kicked by the three coils, was defeated.

On the Korean Peninsula, the Japanese army was delighted to discover that the Red Army had logistical supply lines.

This great discovery shocked the Japanese army and filled their eyes with tears of excitement.

It’s been three years, three years, and we finally encountered a normal human army. We must cut off the Red Army’s logistics immediately!

Dear, you are overthinking it. When it comes to the strength of defending logistics, the People's Army claims to be second, and no one dares to claim to be first, not to mention that the People's Red Army, backed by the Northeast Industrial Base, is terribly strong.

See this iron fist tube? Every pig in our kitchen has to carry two.

After all, the People's Red Army is not a volunteer army that defies heaven. The amount of ammunition that an ordinary person can carry is limited, and North Korea's mountainous terrain determines that the transportation volume per unit time cannot exceed the individual standard by much. Although the roads can be used, they are just usable. North Korea's actual infrastructure is distributed around large cities. Except for the main roads, the rest are dirt roads and goat paths.

It just so happened that since the Jinggangshan era, the Red Army has been particularly good at roundabout maneuvers, splitting and encircling, and large-scale infiltration, giving full play to the subjective initiative of mobile warfare. Therefore, many Red Army commanders and fighters' weapons are mainly individual standards. The terrain of Korea also determines that this is the world of light infantry, but this time the light infantry can get sufficient air support at any time.

Just because the players didn’t become the main force in liberating North Korea doesn’t mean they don’t have anyone here.

A large number of players are shining in the field of logistics, bringing their own engineering teams to quickly build front-line airports, which is more than twice as fast as the Red Army's logistics. It takes only ten minutes for people to arrive at the location for the field airport to be initially usable. At most, within one day, the field airport can be transformed into a front-line airport that can take off and land large transport aircraft.

In order to meet the Red Army's requirements for infiltration operations, players have deployed a large number of transport aircraft of various types in the Northeast. As long as the weather on that day is not so bad that it is outrageous, they can ensure that the soldiers on the front line can get sufficient airdrop supplies at any time.

Don’t the Japanese have planes to harass us?

Yes, but the number was very small. On the Korean Peninsula, the Red Army's aircraft advantage over the Japanese reached an astonishing 7 to 1.

The various types of aircraft provided by the Volunteer Army were already very advanced. Now that the Japanese army was at a disadvantage in terms of numbers, they were naturally beaten badly. The speed of the Red Army's advance could only be described as a hurricane.

In just half a month, the Japanese army collapsed completely and the Red Army arrived at Seoul.

历史上，抗美援朝的志愿军英雄们从1950年10月25日第一次战役，到首次解放汉城的1951年1月4日，用了两个月多点的时间。

Facts have proved that with full logistics, top-notch weapons, and air-ground coordination, the Japanese army was no match for the Red Army.

But the Red Army was not proud, because the Japanese army that the People's Red Army faced at this time had been tortured countless times by the Volunteer Army. The original elite Japanese veterans had long been killed or wounded, and the remaining Japanese soldiers basically suffered from severe Volunteer Army phobia. There was even a case where the Japanese army misread the corps flag and mistakenly thought that the Volunteer Army was coming, and an entire regiment directly laid down their weapons and surrendered on the spot. After learning that it was the Red Army, they were very dissatisfied and asked the Volunteer Army to send someone to accept their surrender, even if it was just a soldier.

However, the Japanese army also admitted that the Red Army's combat effectiveness was also very strong, second only to the Volunteer Army. They also had a fearless spirit of sacrifice and flexible tactical minds, and were highly organized. Even if they were scattered, individual Red Army soldiers still posed a high threat on the battlefield, and they would take the initiative to form groups. Even if they were two completely different troops, they could quickly become new combat units and begin to stir up trouble behind enemy lines.

The only thing that the Red Army is inferior to the Volunteer Army is that the Volunteer Army can produce company-level or even higher combat units in the rear at any time, but this is a privilege enjoyed by players and cannot be used as a normal reference at all.

Through actual combat, the People's Red Army was also rapidly accumulating combat experience. The Japanese military headquarters soon came to the sad conclusion: when the main force of the Volunteer Army was not in Korea, Xinhua's Red Army also had the ability to liberate Korea alone.

It is only a matter of time before Japan loses North Korea, and that time will be very short.

Then the only places Japan can focus on now are Hainan and Taiwan, and the war situation in these two places is sliding towards the abyss that the Japanese headquarters does not want to see at a speed visible to the naked eye.

On the surface, the Japanese troops defending Taiwan and Hainan were well prepared, but the actual situation was very complicated. The volunteers might be airdropped anywhere, but the Japanese army could not guarantee that they would launch a fierce attack the moment the volunteers landed and take away all the volunteers in one wave. Therefore, the morale of the Japanese troops in Taiwan and Hainan was very low. They would indeed launch an attack under the strong pressure of their officers, but it was just an attack. As soon as the volunteers opened fire, these people would hide on the spot and would not move even if they were killed.

The Japanese officers had no choice because there had been cases of Japanese soldiers beating officers to death and then surrendering to the volunteers, and Japanese soldiers who did so would be treated leniently.

Although it was also a prisoner-of-war camp, the treatment there was much better than that of other Japanese prisoners of war.

This tactic was previously used by the Volunteer Army against the puppet army with great effect, so now it can be used against the Japanese army.

As a feudal imperialist Japanese army, it was common for superiors to oppress their subordinates. From time to time, they would give out rewards such as three-point bends and so on. On a daily basis, the Japanese army would often rebel against its superiors.

Now, with the high pressure of the Volunteer Army outside, faced with the choice of joining the Volunteer Army or killing Japanese officers and surrendering, the Japanese soldiers suddenly found that many problems could be solved after changing their thinking.

Sorry, sir, I can lend you my head!

Taiwan Governor-General's Office

"Gentlemen, Hainan has been taken by the Volunteer Army. Taiwan can no longer be defended."

The person who spoke was named Kobayashi Ichizo, the 17th Governor-General of Taiwan appointed by Japan. Of course, he, the 17th in history, was now destined to be the last one, and there was a 100% chance that he would be executed by guillotine.

During Kobayashi Norizo's reign in Taiwan, Japan's colonial policy toward the island spiraled from one extreme to the other. Through cultural genocide, economic plunder, and military mobilization, Taiwan was deeply tied to Japan's chariot of aggression. Kobayashi Norizo ​​played a highly active and negative role in this process.

For example, the "Imperialization Movement" can make people's blood pressure soar just by hearing the name.

What does this mean? Simply put, Japan wanted to completely assimilate Taiwan through the implementation of enslavement education. Key measures included, but were not limited to: mandatory Japanese-language education, the abolition of Chinese-language columns in newspapers, the prohibition of Chinese language instruction, encouragement of Taiwanese to adopt Japanese names (such as the infamous Masao Iwata), the banning of shrine visits, and the abolition of traditional Chinese festivals in favor of distinctively Japanese ones.

What's more difficult is that many Japanese festivals were learned from China, and it's impossible to completely abolish them. Therefore, many Taiwanese people continue to celebrate traditional Chinese festivals under the guise of Japanese festivals. This is a small but persistent way to resist Japanese colonial rule.

In order to ensure Japan's brutal rule over Taiwan, social control was necessary, and it was also necessary to cultivate loyal imperial citizens, so the "Gōgoku family" system was created.

Does this sound confusing? But it's not difficult to understand. For example, if your whole family can now communicate in Japanese instead of Chinese, then OK, congratulations on becoming loyal citizens of the Empire. You will be given some privileges.

It is impossible to place loyal Taiwanese families above the Japanese, but it is possible to allow them to feel superior to other Taiwanese who do not speak Japanese.

To put it bluntly, the goal was to artificially create social divisions and use a Japanese version of "Japanese-style barbarian learning" to cultivate converts' fanaticism. These fanatical Taiwanese "imperial subjects" would become the eyes that monitored others, assisting the Japanese colonizers in establishing the baojia system and police network to achieve strict surveillance of the entire island.

After all this is done, it's time to start plundering mode. I fought the First Sino-Japanese War so hard, wasn't it just to make a fortune? Let's set up the "Taiwan Colonization Corporation"! Directly monopolize the development of resources, build infrastructure such as Keelung Port and Kaohsiung Port, strengthen Taiwan's role as a material transshipment center for Japan's southward expansion strategy, and reserve resources for Japan's southward advance, making Taiwan a vital forward base for Japan.

Since Taiwan has been trained in this way, it is only natural to turn the locals into cannon fodder. Remember the "Takasago Volunteers" that appeared before? They are Taiwanese locals who were brainwashed and forcibly conscripted, and they are also a display of the results of Japan's colonial education.

Don’t think that this will satisfy the Japanese invaders. The colonists will exploit every local person equally. Those Taiwanese who did not become cannon fodder can become "military husbands" and work like beasts of burden in logistics. They don’t even need compensation if they die. What efficient and cheap consumables! This is called the unending grace of His Majesty the Emperor.

With the efforts of these animals, the Taiwanese people's resistance to the Japanese colonizers became an inevitable result. -p

However, Kobayashi Jizo could rest assured that the other Japanese governors-general and their relatives and families would also be liquidated. It was their fault that they had been treated like animals in Taiwan. Historically, they had not been liquidated because China was poor and weak at the time and had no voice in the international arena. But now, no one could doubt the Volunteer Army's global law enforcement authority.

Just as Kobayashi Ichizo was discussing with others how to escape so as not to be blamed, the Japanese troops in Hsinchu were staring in amazement at the Kirin (T-54) tanks that drove out of Hsinchu City one after another.

Damn! We didn’t see any heavy transport planes landing, so these Qilin tanks must have emerged from the ground!

Section 146: Taiwan, Hainan and the Four Counties of Han

(First update, more to come later, please vote~)

Now the whole world tacitly accepts that the Volunteer Army has cutting-edge tanks, and Qilin is the best among them.

Because the Japanese army had witnessed with their own eyes a Kirin tank that was still able to move forward steadily after being attacked by at least five suicide human explosive packs. There was even a Kirin tank that was hit by Japanese heavy artillery and its turret flew out, but only an hour later, the Kirin tank returned to the battlefield.

What kind of black technology is this! ?

Of course, the Japanese didn't think the members inside were still alive, but with such maintenance efficiency, even if the US and the Soviet Union came, they would make a sharp explosion and shout "This is unscientific."

There was even a Kirin tank that, despite being hit at least a hundred times by various Japanese anti-tank weapons, still managed to break through the Japanese defense line under brutal firepower. The Japanese officers and soldiers nearby were 100% sure that the tank had been on fire, but as it moved, its speed recovered and the flames disappeared.

Players in the tank: Don't underestimate our exciting nano-welding gun combo skills!

Sometimes it's not just the players in the tank who are repairing it, but the players moving along with the tank are also repairing it, and the repair effects of the nano welding guns can be superimposed, so there's a magical scene where five welding guns are put on top of the tank and the tank is restored to full health on the spot.

Yamaguchi said: As a game, I am obviously too realistic.
