Travel through the Qing Dynasty and become emperor

"Brothers, if you don't succeed, you will succeed, go for me!" Lei Biao, the commander of the 17th Brigade, shouted, commanding his soldiers to defend the front of their position with all their might.In this decisive battle, the two sides continued to fight each other. The tanks and armored vehicles of the 21st Army ran rampant on the battlefield. The rebel soldiers could only rely on limited heavy artillery, or were forced to become human bombs and rush towards the opponent's tanks. In the past, some successfully carried out the blasting, but more of them just fell on the way to charge up. At the same time, because the explosive packs had been ignited, many rebel soldiers were blown up with flesh and blood, and there were no dead bodies.

Li Liejun observed the battle ahead with a telescope, and said to his chief of staff, Xie Ruyi: "Old Xie, look, is Lei Biao crazy? He is making a meaningless suicide charge. I really don't know what they are thinking." Yes, such bravery, is it useful? Isn't this pure courting of death!"

"Commander, this is not surprising. They knew that if they retreated, Yuan Shikai would not let them survive, so they had no choice but to bite the bullet and fight us to the end."

At the same time, about three kilometers away from the rebel command post, Luo Peijin, the commander of the armored division of the 19th Division of Tiger Mighty Army, was standing on his armored vehicle Iron Lion, wearing a neat military uniform and wearing goggles. He wore a big hat, shiny leather riding boots on his feet, and the Army Silver Medal on his chest was extremely conspicuous.

Next to him are two 120mm self-propelled howitzers with tall barrels raised.Accompanied by a loud bang.The continuous firing shells rushed out of the thick and slender barrel, and landed on the target precisely, immediately forming fiery red and dazzling flames.This was the first attack of this self-propelled gun.All the artillerymen worked extraordinarily hard.Because of the heavy fog in the morning, all the artillerymen were scolded by the commander.Everyone was holding their breath.Now they vent all their grievances on each other.The shells flew towards the intended target as if they had eyes.

Luo Peijin nodded slightly: "Give me an order for the armored forces to assault, and I will end the battle within half an hour!"

Ten minutes later, the Huwei Army's large-scale bombardment of enemy positions finally stopped.Then one after another, the black imperial chariots began to roar.The tracks made of steel stirred the soft soil of Singapore and made strange noises.Sitting in the command vehicle in the middle, Ropekin looked very excited. He even put his head out of the tank's command tower regardless of the tactical regulations, and his reason was very simple, that is, in the tank Inside, he couldn't see the whole situation clearly through the periscope and observation window, so he had to go up, so that he could command. Of course, another reason for doing this was that he felt that doing so would look more cool.

When seeing such a large-scale tank cluster approaching the position, the rebels had no choice but to bite the bullet and shoot at the steel monster. Ropekin felt his eyes go dark, and then his eardrums buzzed, and then a black thing rubbed against it. The bridge of his nose flew over, and it took him a few seconds to react.So he immediately touched his nose, but fortunately his "parts" were still there.Only a little blood came out.When I looked down, I was startled. It turned out that half of my watchtower had been cut off.Obviously, if it weren't for the curvature of the watchtower to change the direction of the warhead.Then one's chest will definitely be pierced "through the heart". "Attention all vehicles! Attention all vehicles!" Ropekin shouted loudly through the radio: "Pay attention to the enemy's grenades, they are very powerful and may penetrate your observation windows! Everyone immediately change tactics and speed up! 2 formations attack, 2 formations attack!" After giving the order, he quickly got into the car body and cursed fiercely: "Son of a bitch, almost killed me."

After receiving the order, the armored troops immediately began to change the marching formation, from the initial parallel front to an oblique line.As the latest tactic researched by the Imperial Army General Staff, it has never appeared in military exercises. This time, Ropekin applied this tactic to the Singapore campaign and became the first practitioner of this tactic.The entire array is arranged in a large oblique line so that one's own battle line becomes a similar triangular formation, and most of one's forces are concentrated on one side of the arrow, while a small number of troops are used on the other side to take advantage of time and space The superiority on the ground implements containment to the enemy.The main principle of this tactic is to concentrate one's own forces to the maximum extent and form a powerful fist to smash the opponent's defense.The rudiments of this tactic first appeared in the Greek era. The general Epaminonda defeated the powerful Spartan army in the Battle of Luktra, but it was Frederick the Great of Germany who carried it forward. Emperor Lieter used this slash tactic to defeat an enemy three times stronger than himself, which made Prussia at that time a world power.Of course, as a powerful country in the study of military theory in the world today, China has also fully absorbed and learned the subtle tactics of its allies. The Imperial Army University even takes diagonal formation as a compulsory course, and students also focus on learning diagonal formation on the first day of enrollment. position.China not only applies this tactic to the army, but also creatively applies it to armored battle formations. In this regard, China is at the forefront of the world.

At this time, the front of the armored forces began to stretch.Then an arrow formed by the [-]st Battalion appeared on the right flank of the rebel position.Fourteen tanks are arranged in a sharp triangle, and behind the array are four half-track armored personnel carriers temporarily added by armored grenadiers.These personnel carriers are loaded with about two companies of armored grenadiers. Their task is to jump out of the vehicles to establish a defensive position immediately after the tank unit assault is completed, so as to block the counterattack launched by the opposing infantry.

And Lei Biao also knew that now was an important moment for the survival of his troops, so he began to concentrate all the artillery and infantry to counterattack the opponent's arrow, hoping to weaken the opponent's attack strength and speed.All of a sudden, the entire "slash battle group" became the focus of the counterattack on the entire battlefield.However, in front of the thick armor on the front of the tank and a good bulletproof shape, this kind of shooting seems so futile.Of course, occasionally a few tanks were hit, and some tanks were concentrated in the driver's observation window by shells, causing the entire tank to catch fire and be scrapped.But most of the tanks broke through the opponent's position very smoothly.

After the tank broke through the opponent's position, the half-track armored vehicle that followed put down the grenadiers on the vehicle.Those heavily armed grenadiers began to use their submachine guns, machine guns and semi-automatic rifles to start a massacre.They cleared the makeshift trenches and machine gun bunkers built by the rebels, and immediately established their own defenses.

At this time, the artillery regiment of the 21st Army also took the opportunity to launch a violent heavy artillery bombardment.The rebel right wing, hit by a double blow, quickly crumbled.In order to survive, the rebel soldiers began to flee in all directions.At this time, although Lei Biao shot several fleeing soldiers with his own hands, he had already lost control of his army.A large number of soldiers ran to their left flank like frightened rabbits, but soon the opponent's armored soldiers blocked the road with machine guns and grenades.All kinds of light and heavy machine guns, rifles, machine guns, mortars and light and heavy infantry guns formed a dense fire net.Coupled with the help of the bomber fleet, the defenders were even more unable to resist the mighty Tigers after paying the price of 3000 people.

The fighting lasted just over an hour, and the defenders in the entire Bukit Panjang area collapsed.The officers could no longer control the mad soldiers. Many chose to take off their military uniforms and discard their weapons and run away, while most of them threw down their weapons and headed towards the opponent's position holding a white flag...

Government House of Singapore.Yuan Shikai received sad news one after another, the fall of Shilong, the fall of Sarang, the fall of Bukit Panjang, the fall of the airport... At this time, Yuan Shikai had lost any temper, and only despair and even annoyance filled his chest.After the soldiers captured the surrounding areas, they gathered outside the city one after another, and may launch an attack on the urban area of ​​Singapore at any time.Yuan Shikai was in a trance, and the majestic figure of the emperor standing on the red rhinoceros was always in front of his eyes. Now he had to admit that he had made the most stupid decision in his life. This decision would not only ruin his political career, but also make him and his family were punished with death.Now that he had nowhere to go, he had no choice but to put all his eggs in one basket. When he raised his head again, his eyes radiated like a beast, and he said to Lu Zongyu: "Immediately issue a warning to Cai E in my name, if his troops dare to enter In the urban area of ​​Singapore, I will first attack the hostages in my hands!"

The Huwei Army is located in the temporary headquarters of Shilong. After Cai E received Yuan Shikai's warning letter, he was at a loss. The 238 hostages were all government officials from various provinces in Southeast Asia, and their identities were extraordinary. If you go down the whole of Singapore, you will also be reprimanded by the emperor. Now that you are riding a tiger, it is impossible to retreat, and it is even more impossible to advance. Yuan Shikai, who is insane, may do unexpected things at any time.what to do?The most critical problem now is that no one knows where the hostages are hiding, and even up to now there is no news of whether the hostages are alive or dead.Cai E looked at the senior generals present, all shaking their heads and sighing. If they paid attention to siege, they would not even frown, but facing the embarrassing situation in front of them, no one had any idea.

"Report! Secret telegram from the Ministry of the Army!" The communications soldier handed over a telegram marked top secret to Cai E. When Cai E opened it, he was stunned. There were only four words on it: stand by!

What does it mean?Don't you want to attack the city of Singapore?What about the hostages?A series of questions came to my mind, making Cai E puzzled.

Resurgence: World War II Chapter 5 and Five

Three days ago, a secret base in western China.Jian Dao has just completed today's training mission and returned to his tent. Before leading Jian Feng, the only special force in the world, he was a hot-tempered, simple-minded ordinary soldier, but time has quietly passed His edges and corners are smoothed, so that people who like to be lively are willing to endure loneliness.Five years have passed since the last rescue operation in Europe. He lost one brother that time, and the whereabouts of two others are still unknown.

Loneliness can make people numb, especially the strict discipline of the special forces, who will never have the right to ask, and can only silently wait for the next mission, which may be five years, ten years, or 20 years later .

He thought of the emperor, this is a charismatic monarch, sometimes he would write all his emotions on his face, cute like a child, sometimes so hidden, everyone I don't know what he is thinking, but it is such an emperor that Ling Jiandao has never weakened his respect for him for so many years.In his heart, the emperor is the best superior, and sometimes even the best friend. In this world, he is the only one who knows himself and everyone in the vanguard best.Jiandao often wonders, does the emperor also feel lonely and lonely?Maybe.

He looked at his watch, it was time for rest, and there was a new training task tomorrow, so he turned over and prepared to sleep peacefully.

At this time, the team member Zhanlang hurriedly pushed the door open, came to Jiandao, and whispered to him: "Captain, the base command is looking for you everywhere. The emperor wants to meet you in Beijing. I heard that there is an urgent mission. The plane has already arrived." Ready."

The sharp knife immediately became excited, and the crazy feeling when the beast smelled the blood came back again, and the drowsiness disappeared immediately. He hurriedly greeted several of his subordinates, and drove straight to the airport. The clerk said: "Quick! Beijing!"

In the middle of the night, in the Forbidden City, Beijing, in the underground chamber of the Qianqing Palace.This is not the heavily guarded underground fortification that people imagine, but a very simple underground palace, surrounded by only some camouflaged fortifications and simple bunkers, there is only one company of guards, and there are only a few heavy weapons. It's just a machine gun.

When the sharp knife stepped into this secret room, Guan Xuqing had been waiting for a long time.Besides the emperor, Feng Xianghua and Xu Shichang were also present.

Without exchanging pleasantries or greetings, Xu Shichang immediately introduced the current fighting situation in Singapore and the situation of the hostage incident to Jian Dao.

"Your mission is very clear." Guan Xuqing turned around, his elusive eyes fixed on the sharp knife, "the 238 hostages must be rescued from Singapore unharmed. Otherwise, Yuan Shikai will take these people Bargain with me, but you know I will never compromise on this kind of issue. Now, I just ask you one thing, can you do it?"

After listening to the emperor's instructions, Jiandao's heart trembled. He did not expect that his army's first mission in five years would be so important and difficult. You must know that the difference from the last time was that it was just a hostage last time, but this time There are 238 hostages, and it seems that this is another impossible task to be rescued unscathed.But Jiandao, who has always been conceited and adventurous, did not show a trace of fear, and immediately stood at attention and said, "Of course it can be done! Please rest assured, Your Majesty."

Xu Shichang handed a drawing to Jiandao: "This is a map of the Singapore area. You can add it up after you go back for details. The local terrain and the situation of the enemy's garrison are marked in detail."

"Teguang Island?" The sharp knife glanced at the map and said the place name casually.

"That's right. Yuan Shikai is really old and cunning. After spying by the Imperial Security Bureau, it turns out that Yuan Shikai arranged 238 hostages in the back house of the Governor's Mansion, and even stationed a regiment of troops to guard them. Later, he went back and forth several times, but where are they currently being detained?" I don't know yet." Xu Shichang said with a frown.

The sharp knife gritted its teeth: "Don't worry, the sharp-pointed troops guarantee to complete the task!"

'good! "Guan Xuqing finally said: "First transfer you to the air force, and you will follow the arrangements of the airborne commander for details.Apart from you, there are only 4 people who know about this matter. You can use any method you think is feasible to rescue the hostages. The key is not to cause any casualties to the hostages.go! "

"twitter!"

After leaving the Forbidden City, Jiandao immediately got in touch with the commander of the Imperial Airborne Forces.Afterwards, 7 people selected by the 60th Airborne Regiment and 10 intelligence experts appointed by the Security Bureau, together with 20 members of the vanguard unit, formed a capable rescue team. Ling Chengcheng arrived in Singapore that day. The secret contact point, but it did not alarm Cai E's Huwei army, because the operation was required to be carried out in complete secrecy.

The hostage rescue operation was full of difficulties. The most urgent and troublesome thing was that no one knew where the hostages were being held.Perhaps Yuan Shikai had fully considered the possibility of taking hostages, so the place of detention was not only highly confidential, but also kept moving.

After understanding and investigation, the hostages were first taken to the back house of the Governor's Mansion, detained for about two days, and then sent to the patrol barracks of the Public Security Bureau on the edge of the city.Later, Duan Qirui asked the Governor-General's Office to transfer the place of detention to Malaysia, but Yuan Shikai flatly refused, considering that Malaysia's defense capability is relatively weak, and the possibility of assassination and kidnapping of hostages is relatively high. Duan Qirui's request.Later, the sharp knife found out that on June 6, the hostages were transferred to the Bukit Panjang area by five military vehicles.The next day, he was secretly transferred to a disguised brothel in the Serang area. There was no reception at all, and it was located in a hidden area, so it was not easy to leak the news.

But there will be no further news.Jiandao used various channels and tried every means to find out the news. In a blink of an eye, two days passed and still found nothing. Even Zhao Bingjun, the director of the security bureau with great powers, felt hopeless. He sighed and said: "I can only go to fortune telling. "

Feng Xianghua was worried all day long, and came to the Hall of Mental Cultivation to see the emperor every day. Guan Xuqing seemed calm and calm, and said to Feng Xianghua: "Xianghua, you are the highest officer of the Imperial Military Command, and you must first learn to sit down when you encounter problems. kind of air."

"Cha." Feng Xianghua said respectfully.

"It's not a big deal. Yuan Shikai didn't dare to attack the hostages before the Tigers took further action. Otherwise, he would be too stupid. He knows very well what he wants now. What he wants is nothing more than a way to survive. He also knows that What I want, what I want is that those 238 people can leave Singapore safely. Yuan Shikai is sure to die, and now it is nothing more than waiting a few more days. Besides, the sea area around Singapore is blocked by our warships, and the Singapore airport is also blocked. Our army is in control, and Yuan Shikai will not escape even if he spreads his wings." Guan Xuqing had a clear judgment on the whole situation.

"However, what I'm worried about is whether the vanguard troops can fulfill their mission and successfully complete the rescue mission. If the operation fails and the hostages are threatened, the lives of those hostages will be lost!"

Guan Xuqing didn't go to see Feng Xianghua again, sat down and began to review the memorial, and after a long while, he casually said: "I am not afraid, what are you afraid of!"

Another day passed, and a spy sent by Jiandao rushed back excitedly, and said to Jiandao: "There is news, there is news!"

But Jiandao asked calmly: "What news, please tell me in detail."

"In the past two days, I have been in charge of visiting the northeast of Singapore. Today, according to a fruit seller in a small town on Ubin Island, the maid of his big customer's family has an appointment with a soldier who is on duty on the island. I got married, but for more than 1 days, my boss has neither allowed soldiers to visit the island, nor allowed my fiancée to date on the island. According to some residents on the island, many soldiers were stationed on the island suddenly more than 20 days ago. It is said that it is to protect the property of the governor. They also put up barbed wire and set up a military observation area. Residents on the island are strictly prohibited from approaching this area, otherwise they will be killed. Moreover, some people have seen with their own eyes that military doctors often go there, and sometimes in the mansion late at night. There will be a call or two. I think this news may be related to the hostages, so I hurried back to report."

"You mean more than 20 days ago?"

"Yes, I must remember correctly, that's what the man said."

The sharp knife's eyes flickered, and he quickly calculated in his mind that more than 20 days ago happened to be around the time of Yuan Shikai's birthday. Based on such an inference, the island must be related to the hostages.

"By the way, didn't Yuan Shikai station two brigades of troops on Ubin Island and Tekong Island? When the Huwei Army attacked Singapore, they bypassed these two islands, and the troops on the islands did not go to the various places. There must be something wrong with this island!" Bingfeng said suddenly.

Jiandao took a breath: "Fortunately, Cai E didn't notice the abnormality of these two islands at the time, otherwise, once he attacked there, Yuan Shikai might have solved the hostages at that time."

Based on this, everyone speculates that important political prisoners must be held on this island. The soldier is performing an extremely important security task, and it is very likely that he is holding 238 hostages.

In the afternoon, another spy sent back news that a young officer of the Singapore Navy accidentally revealed an important inside story after being drunk. The target of the pick-up was an island in the northeast. This important news can already prove that the hostages are definitely in Ubin Island.

After determining the target location, the sharp knife did not dare to delay and immediately reported the situation to Xu Shichang.Soon, Xu Shichang received an urgent order: "Use warships to take back the hostages if necessary!"

But when the sharp knife was about to implement the rescue plan, news came that the target had been transferred again, and the specific whereabouts were unknown.

Resurgence: World War II Chapter 5 Codenamed Thunder

Could it be that someone leaked the news?The sharp knife's first reaction was that a traitor appeared in his team!But after calming down and thinking about it, it was impossible. He was absolutely assured of his team members. As for those air force soldiers and espionage experts, there should be no problem. He knew that Xu Shichang and Zhao Bingjun had always been cautious in doing things. Rescue operations must have a clear understanding of the background of everyone involved in the operation in advance.So, what is it all about?

In fact, Jian Dao didn't know anyway, the main reason was Yuan Shikai's suspicious and fickle character.It turned out that after Yuan Shikai issued a warning to the Huwei army, he was fidgeting every day. Now he only had one hole card left in his hand. He also knew that the emperor was definitely not a person who would compromise. The Huwei army is gathering on the spot, preparing to launch the final attack on the urban area of ​​Singapore.Second, the terrible secret force of the Empire has been dispatched and is implementing a rescue plan.As soon as he thought of this, he began to feel uneasy. He was always worried that there were too many residents on Ubin Island. Immediate dispersal might cause suspicion, so he immediately decided to transfer the hostages and take them to the north of Ubin Island to build a On Tekong Island, where there is a military base, he was imprisoned in a "Cuiyun Villa" called himself.Relatively speaking, the geographical location there is more remote, and there are fewer residents on the island, so it is difficult to attract the attention of others.Thus, the hostages were secretly transferred there last night.
