Travel through the Qing Dynasty and become emperor

"Did everyone else evacuate safely?" Dagger asked a naval officer on the gunboat.

"Don't worry, they all evacuated safely."

Jian Dao glanced back at Tekong Island and said, "Okay, let's go!"

The gunboat spun in the water and sailed quickly to the opposite bank.

The sharp knife came in front of Duan Qirui and Feng Guozhang, and gave a standard military salute with a "snap": "Your Excellencies, the sharp-edged troops are here to rescue you under the order of the emperor!"

Duan Qirui and Feng Guozhang were ecstatic, hugged the sharp knife excitedly and said: "We know that the emperor will not abandon us."

Ten minutes later, the gunboat arrived on the other side, and the car was already prepared on the shore. Everyone got in the car and went all the way to a Sino-German Union Hospital in the Bukit Panjang area.The sharp knife watched one hostage after another being taken into this hospital. After more than 20 days of terrified life, they all looked pale and stared blankly, as if they had just suffered a serious illness. Several of them could not move.The rescued hostages entered the outpatient clinic of the hospital with the help of commandos, ready to receive comprehensive examination and treatment.

A very beautiful young girl was madly kissing her savior in Bingfeng's arms.

Jian Dao smiled: "Hmph, these bastards have taken advantage of all the advantages, it seems that all the credit has gone to them!" His thoughts seemed to have returned to many years ago, and a beautiful woman's face appeared in front of him, "She What are you doing now? Sigh, what's the use of thinking about it. Let's find a place to sleep and talk about it..." The sharp knife figure quickly disappeared into the busy crowd.

In the "Operation Thunder" of the sharp-pointed troops to rescue the hostages, there were no casualties among the 238 hostages, and no one was injured or injured among the commandos who participated in this operation. More than 700 enemies were wiped out. Following the European rescue operation, it once again created the world's special forces operation. The miracle of combat!

But after the successful conclusion of this operation, the mysterious vanguard troops disappeared again. No one knows where they went, but people believe that as long as there is a major crisis in the empire, they will definitely appear again!In Beijing, Kuala Lumpur and Yangon, celebrations continued one after another. After receiving the news, the German "Berlin Times" called the surprise attack by the vanguard troops "a masterpiece of the devil."

Resurgence: World War II Chapter 5 Offensive Frustrated

Less than an hour after the rescue mission was completed, the Air Force Flying Battalion staying in Kuala Lumpur dispatched two bomber formations to bomb Tekong Island and Ubin Island indiscriminately. The defenders on the two islands lost After more than half, the white flag was raised against the Huwei army.

Subsequently, Guan Xuqing personally issued an order to order the Huwei Army to launch an attack on the urban area of ​​Singapore and wipe out Yuan Shikai's remnants in one fell swoop.

Government House of Singapore.

At this moment, Yuan Shikai was lying powerlessly on a chair. The fall of Bukit Panjang, Serlong and other areas, the rescue of hostages, and the advance of the Huwei army made him feel that the end is not far away.

"My lord!" Lu Zongyu hurriedly pushed the door open and entered. "Tiger's Mighty Army's armored division has already moved towards Singapore, and it is only [-] kilometers away from us. Singapore is about to be surrounded. For your safety, I suggest you leave here immediately!"

"Alas..." After hearing what the other party said, Yuan Shikai shook his head heavily. "Success falls short, success falls short. Unexpectedly, Yuan Shikai's hundreds of thousands of troops built such a strong line of defense, and was defeated by the court in less than two weeks. I really don't know if the enemy is too strong? Or we It's too weak!" At this point, he closed his eyes, looking extremely tired.

"Godfather! Please evacuate Singapore immediately." Duan Zhigui also urged: "Didn't we have contacts with the Americans, I don't think they will die, as long as they can escape to the United States, they will definitely provide you with political information. sheltered."

Yuan Shikai waved his hand after a while and said, "No, Americans always hide their knives in their smiles. The US government is a snob. They may help us when we gain power, but when we are at the end of our rope, they will just watch jokes from the sidelines." , if we really come to the United States, they would like to hand us over to the imperial court and take the opportunity to curry favor."

When Duan Zhigui was about to say something, a staff officer rushed in in panic: "My lord! We just received the news. The Huwei Army has already started a war against us, and their armored forces have entered the Singapore defense zone!"

July 1902, 7 at three o'clock in the afternoon.The 3th Armored Regiment of the Huwei Army Armored Division broke through the defense line established by the rebels on the outskirts of Singapore and rushed into the suburbs of Singapore ten kilometers northwest.At this time, in Cai E's view, he is only a short distance away from success, because according to the information sent back by the spies in Singapore, the urban area of ​​Singapore has fallen into chaos.What he did now was to drive his chariot forward for more than ten kilometers until he reached the Governor's Mansion in Singapore.

But what Cai E didn't expect was that Yuan Shikai's last military force was not as vulnerable as he imagined.After the armored corps rushed through the farms around the suburbs, it immediately changed its formation and rushed towards the urban area of ​​Singapore.However, at this time they did not encounter the imagined situation where the rebels scattered and fled.On the contrary, when it first entered the outer defense zone of Singapore, this mechanized force was stubbornly blocked by the opponent.

Compared with the desperate resistance of the rebels, the armored soldiers were not fully prepared, and they were not fully prepared for the street fighting in the outer urban areas.So after inexplicably losing a tank and about a squad of grenadiers, the armored soldiers chose to retreat temporarily.

"What? There is such a thing?" Cai E felt unbelievable after receiving the news, and he rushed to the battlefield in an armored vehicle.However, he also felt helpless in the face of the flames constantly spewing out from the buildings across the street.Although my own tank is equipped with a 75mm long-barreled artillery, this kind of tank gun is just an ordinary cannon, and its muzzle elevation angle and power are also very limited, so this kind of artillery can't destroy those solid tanks made of reinforced concrete. Fortifications.The caliber and power of the self-propelled howitzers of the Huwei Army are not large, so the effect against these buildings is not obvious.

However, facing this situation, Cai E was not depressed.Immediately organize the generals to start making plans and wait for the next attack.

Half an hour later, Cai E transferred two Panzergrenadier regiments and the 16th Infantry Division of the Panzergrenadier Division, and even a frightening Hurricane rocket launcher, and immediately started operations after receiving reinforcements.

This time he did not focus his attack on the northwest defense line of Singapore City, but attacked from the south in three directions with a small force.Three battalions of a regiment of the 16th Infantry Division, under the support of three armored companies, launched infiltration attacks on several village fortifications in the outskirts, but they were immediately attacked by the artillery fire of the rebel city defense forces as soon as they started their charge. .The defensive position was desperately firing ammunition to the outside, and the rebels were all guarding in the fortifications waiting for the arrival of reinforcements.

At this time, Singapore's city defense made Cai E look at it with admiration. It seemed that this city defense force was the trump card army in Yuan Shikai's hands. They were obviously desperate to deal with their own troops.

But even so, the offensive of the Huwei Army, which changed its tactics, continued to achieve victories.They let the tanks cover in front, and the commandos armed with grenades, flamethrowers and recoilless guns followed closely behind.After encountering rebel resistance, the infantry fired tracer rounds to calibrate the target.Then the tanks fired smoke grenades to cover the charge of the assault infantry.Then the commandos used flamethrowers and grenades to unplug those firepower points one by one.If the opponent's firepower is relatively strong, the tank artillery will suppress the firepower.

Therefore, in the face of this effective tactic, many fortresses of the rebels were defeated.However, after the vanguard advanced five kilometers, they were suddenly counterattacked by the rebels. Their heavy shells screamed and flew towards them, and huge shells continued to explode on both sides of the assault road.The three artillery companies deployed in the suburbs began to counter-suppress artillery fire in order to crush the attack of the Huwei Army.

After the bombardment ended, thousands of city defense troops rushed from all directions to the attacking vanguard of the Huwei Army, and the two sides even engaged in fierce hand-to-hand combat in some areas.

"It seems that the battle is not as simple as we expected." Cai E frowned and said.

"Let's withdraw first. This will cause a lot of damage to our troops. From these two battles, it can be seen that the enemy is very determined to defend Singapore, and even severely damaged the buildings in this city." We don’t hesitate to destroy them, but it seems that Xu Tu is better off in Singapore’s attack.” Hong Zhaolin persuaded.

"Hey, I'm still to blame for my carelessness. I thought that changing tactics could completely collapse the opponent's defense system. I didn't expect them to be so stubborn, and the defense system was built impeccably. Well, order the vanguard to retreat!" Cai E said. "Order all the troops under the jurisdiction of the Huwei Army to rush towards the urban area of ​​Singapore as soon as possible, and strive to capture the Governor's Palace before July 7, and also hope that Feng Yuxiang's Zhenwei Army can move closer to Singapore as soon as possible.

Under the effect of this near-death order, a large number of armed SS troops began to rush towards Singapore desperately.The roads are crowded with all kinds of vehicles.The railway line is also non-stop, and the rumbling train is full of soldiers and equipment heading for the direction of Singapore, which is under heavy fire.In the afternoon of the same day, the powerful forces of the three divisions under Feng Yuxiang's jurisdiction formed a mighty formation and rushed towards Singapore along the railway line.On the other side, the main force of the armored division of the Huwei Army also rushed to the scheduled encirclement location.

"Songpo, you came early!" Feng Yuxiang just got off the train, wearing a gray general uniform, carrying an imperial medal of the third class, surrounded by staff officers, stretched out his hand to Cai E who was walking right hand.

"No! It's Huanzhang, you are late. Haha..." Cai E opened his arms while talking, and the two embraced warmly.The embrace also signaled that the two most powerful military forces in the southern part of the empire had finally come together.

In the temporary headquarters of Huwei Army, Cai E and Feng Yuxiang had a brief meeting. Hong Zhaolin reported the current battle situation. Feng Yuxiang smiled and said: "This is nothing. The army is surrounded by layers, and this time it is difficult for him to fly. Now they want to fight back, and of course they have to fight to the death. This is not surprising. Fortunately, our strength and equipment are far superior to the opponent. We can continue to send troops to consume the strength of the opponent. , then their defense system will be self-defeating.”

"Huanzhang, you are still farsighted, this time I have a solid foundation in my heart." Cai E turned to Hong Zhaolin and said: "Pass my order, immediately launch a second round of attack, we must break through the defense system outside the rebel city !"

"Yes!"

这次蔡锷并没有手软，隶属于39师的第八榴弹炮营、第81山炮营和第51野炮团一起对市区外围的城防体系发动了猛烈攻击。而作为第二波攻击力量的第20师、21师、22师步兵们则静静的等在自己的防线内，他们等待自己炮兵火力压制的结束，只要压制一结束他们就冲上去占领七零八落的对方阵地。

The powerful shelling lasted for half an hour, and during this period, the artillery units did not forget to suppress the rebel fortifications near Changi Road. This time they concentrated more than 100 artillery pieces and carried out continuous strikes without interruption.His purpose of doing this is very clear, that is to prevent the rebels gathered in the south from sending reinforcements to the Punggol Road in the north, so that the attack of the Huwei army can be carried out more smoothly.

This time, the Huwei Army has fully learned the lesson of the setback in the previous attack. They did not put the entire battalion and company into these dark streets and buildings, but adopted squads as the core of the battle, and multiple simultaneous small-scale operations. Infiltration Tactics.In this way, the defense system built by the rebels with mines, machine guns, and snipers will appear very fragile, coupled with the lack of effective support firepower, this makes the rebels face an unfavorable situation from the very beginning.Several key defensive points were breached by the opponent, and the entire Yishun defense line was in danger of being fully breached by the opponent.

ps: It's almost the end of the month again, give me more flowers, if I give more flowers, I will explode.

Resurgence: World War II in Chapter 5 and Ten

"Change tactics!" Seeing that his soldiers had fallen into a passive state, Lu Jianzhang, the chief of the Public Security Bureau who was observing through a telescope on the front line, roared loudly.A soldier standing next to him reacted, took out a flare gun and pulled the trigger towards the sky.With a shrill whistle-like sound, a white flare rose into the sky.After the white thing fell slowly, the gunshots suddenly and gradually disappeared.

"What are these idiots doing?" Hearing the gunshots that gradually stopped, it was the 21st Division of the Huwei Army that was attacking as the vanguard. Sun Chuanfang, the division commander, was full of surprise.

"It may be that the enemy took remedial measures after they discovered that we had been able to break through the defense line they set up. They shrunk their defense line, thereby strengthening their defense force and preventing it from being infiltrated by us!" A staff officer beside Sun Chuanfang expressed his opinion , Then he pointed to the map and said: "Our troops are here now, and people will definitely focus on defense there. I suggest that the troops start attacking immediately, and give the enemy a fatal blow when the enemy's foothold is not stable. Break through the opponent's defense."

"Well, what you said makes sense." Sun Chuanfang nodded, and said loudly: "Give me an order to continue attacking and advancing. You must constantly put pressure on the opponent's defense line, and use the form of wheel warfare to collapse the opponent."

After receiving this order, the forward troops immediately launched a second wave of attacks, and soon most of the army began to break through the defensive positions originally set up by the rebels.Sure enough, they were not frantically blocked by the previous rebels.As the vanguard moved forward, they carefully searched for every possible invisible building, but what surprised them was that the enemy did not arrange snipers there. It was empty, only piles of bullets and shell casings, and even a few long handles The hand grenades and the tripods of the machine guns, it is obvious that the rebels retreated in a panic.The engineers sent out did not find any landmines set by the enemy after a rough inspection.

Sun Chuanfang looked up and laughed loudly: "It seems that the enemy was frightened by me, and they all retreated in a swarm! Order the vanguard to move on."

So the troops began to infiltrate slowly, and soon they occupied Gangli Road, the first line of defense of the rebels.Tiger's mighty army has finally stepped into the land of urban Singapore.

Satisfied, Sun Chuanfang stood at the entrance of the street and looked around for a while. It was strange that there was not even a single person on the big street except for the tinkling wind chimes on the shops on both sides. Come cool.

Suddenly, there was only the sound of glass shattering one after another, and countless black muzzles protruded from the windows of the building, and they started shooting crazily at the Huwei army on the whole street.Grenades were thrown like a storm, and even some light recoilless guns and mortars joined the fray.

In an instant, bullets whizzed across the street like rain, and the shrapnel that exploded flew in all directions like butterflies under the action of powerful shock waves.Even Sun Chuanfang was made dizzy by the enemy's powerful firepower counterattack, seeing dozens of soldiers shot one after another and fell to the ground.

"Quick retreat! Look for cover..." Sun Chuanfang shouted hoarsely, while being protected by his subordinates and hiding in a low bungalow behind him.

After a brief panic, the remaining soldiers hurried into the houses on the nearby street and fired blindly at the opposite window.

At the beginning, the firepower of the rebels was very strong. After all, they had built a complete attack strategy and equipped with heavy weapons such as machine guns and artillery. However, the vanguard of the Huwei Army only had rifles and a small number of light machine guns. Most of the heavy weapons were They are all behind the line, so the firepower is overwhelming.But soon the follow-up troops pushed the heavy machine guns and anti-aircraft guns onto the frontier street.

For a moment, the two sides shot at each other indiscriminately in the buildings occupied by the two sides of the small road, and dazzling flames shot out from the window sills facing the street, and the glass and wooden windows of those windows had been removed. , was blocked with planks and bricks, and turned into temporary firepower points. Except for some corpses of the Tigers on the road, all of them were evacuated into buildings, because anyone who walked there would be shot by machine guns and The bullets fired by the sniper ruthlessly knocked down.However, the heavy artillery, one of the advantages of the Huwei Army, is also unable to fire because the distance between the two sides is too close, and it is difficult to find a better attack position in a short time.
