Travel through the Qing Dynasty and become emperor

Although Sun Chuanfang really wanted to keep the troops at a distance from the enemy, as soon as they moved, the mortars from the opposite window came and cut off their retreat, making them pinned there and unable to move.

"Very good, the bastards have all entered our net pockets, it's time to close the net!" Commander Tian Zhongyu, who was in charge of Yishun's defense, waved his fist excitedly.

The messenger immediately sent out a black signal flare, which exploded in the sky with a long tail of smoke.

"Get down, get down!" Tian Zhongyu yelled, and at the same time hurriedly got down on the ground.

"Boom!" With loud bangs, the whole earth began to shake.

Sun Chuanfang clearly felt that the ceiling was shaking violently, and the cement crumbs covered with dust were falling down continuously. At this time, his heart began to sink a little bit.Looking out through the window, I was stunned and stunned!

A puff of thick gray smoke spewed out from the entire row of buildings occupied by the vanguard of the Huwei Army, and then the entire row of buildings fell to the east like a group of giants who were stumbled at the same time. It turned into a huge tumbling "mushroom cloud" slowly rising from the ground, and soldiers' severed limbs and arms fell from the sky from time to time in the black cloud.

Sun Chuanfang closed his eyes in pain, waved his hands and said to the messengers beside him, "All retreat! All retreat!"

With an order, the soldiers of the Huwei Army hiding in the building began to break out of the encirclement with difficulty, and the troops staying in the alley also began to retreat in large numbers after receiving the order. They carried their equipment and dragged their injured companions to start Quit the first line of defense set up by the rebels in Yishun, Gang Lai Street.

However, Tian Zhongyu did not intend to give those Sun Chuanfang a chance to retreat calmly. With a piercing whistling sound, one after another mortar shells drew black arcs in the sky covered with black smoke, and then kept falling on the enemy. On the way of the army's retreat, the flying shrapnel and the shock wave caused by the explosion of the artillery shell caused great trouble to these soldiers who retreated hastily. Soldiers were constantly hit by the roaring mortar shells, and many fell to the ground. There were heart-piercing screams, and more people just lay on the ground without saying a word and died.

Immediately afterwards, the infantry of the rebel army followed up and began to shoot frantically at the retreating people. Soon, many soldiers of the Huwei army were hit by the black guns behind them and fell to the ground.However, most of them managed to return to the new city defense line.This is mainly because the machine guns used by the rebels are still old-fashioned Maxim machine guns, and the light machine guns are also equipped with old-fashioned American Madsen or French Hatches. These machine guns are very heavy and inconvenient to carry. The road conditions in Beijing are not very good, so when the troops were pursuing, these machine guns held them back.

"Order the 95th Infantry Regiment to move forward! Continue to attack!" Tanaka Yu had a cruel sneer on the corner of his mouth, and waved the command knife in his hand vigorously, "Everyone has seen that the Tiger's Mighty Army is nothing more than that. Now the enemy is at the end of its battle. We We should continue to attack and annihilate them all in one fell swoop."

"Yes!" Encouraged by the commander, the officers below also let out an astonishing roar.But Tanaka Yu forgot that the army he was facing had been battle-hardened and had received very strict military training. Soon he found that many soldiers who were retreating had extremely sharp marksmanship. After almost every gunshot, there would be a His own soldiers fell to the ground.The astonishing hit rate of the Tiger's Mighty Army began to make the pursuing rebels feel timid, and the morale of the Tiger's Mighty Army was greatly boosted by this.In addition, some people rushed fast and some people rushed slowly, the pursuit team was very messy, so the formation of the rebels began to appear chaotic.

At the beginning, this kind of chaos appeared at the front of the troops. The enemy's surprising hit rate frightened the timid soldiers who rushed forward, and they retreated one after another.Then this situation was like a group of people suffering from a vicious infectious disease. Rows of people began to retreat, at first a few, and finally turned into hundreds of people fleeing together.A few minutes later, the originally neatly lined up troops turned into groups of scattered deserters.And the supervisor team was useless at this time, they couldn't stop the rout at all, and were soon dispersed by the oncoming rout.

Facing the scene in front of him.Tanaka Yu, who just felt that he had won the victory, was very annoyed, and immediately issued an order: "The commander of the 95th Infantry Regiment was relieved of all duties due to improper command, and was shot on the spot. In addition, the same was true for the soldiers who took the lead in fleeing." In addition, he reiterated , If anyone can insert the banner of victory into the Huwei army camp in Xincheng, then that person will be rewarded with 1 yuan! "

Sun Chuanfang took the troops back to the Xincheng camp with great difficulty. At this time, Cai E had already received the news and was waiting here.As soon as Sun Chuanfang saw the commander staring at him with a livid face, his legs softened and he knelt on the ground, mourning: "Commander, Chuanfang is incompetent and failed to break through to the city. We fell into the trick of the rebels..."

"Enough!" Cai E roared angrily, startling all the people present. They had never seen this gentle general lose such a temper, and they all looked at Cai E in a daze.

The veins on Cai E's forehead were throbbing, and he pointed to Sun Chuanfang and said, "I knew it a long time ago. This time it was entirely because of your carelessness and pride that we lost the lives of more than 500 brothers in vain. Such a tragic result , Even I can't explain to the Ministry of War, what face do you have to come back to see me!"

Resurgence: World War II Chapter 5-[-] Killer - Aircraft Swarm Tactics

Seeing the murderous look on Cai E's face, Sun Chuanfang couldn't help trembling, and hurriedly said: "Commander, it's all my fault for my misconduct this time, which caused the Huwei Army to suffer such a big loss. Please punish the commander!"

Cai E looked at Sun Chuanfang coldly, and suddenly shouted loudly: "Come on! Pull him out and shoot him on the spot!"

Ah!

Sun Chuanfang was so frightened that she collapsed on the ground, and all the officers and officers present turned pale.Hong Zhaolin hurried over to persuade him: "Commander, Master Sun was only careless for a while. If he suffered setbacks, he would not be guilty of death no matter what. Commander, please think twice."

"Yes, please think twice, Commander." All the generals present pleaded for Sun Chuanfang.

Cai E waved his hand impatiently: "Okay, don't talk about it. Sun Chuanfang ruined the lives of hundreds of brothers in vain because of his momentary pride. Have you all forgotten that the emperor repeatedly ordered us to fight generals, We must be cautious and cautious when commanding operations, and there must be no excessive casualties. This defeat not only made us lose the excellent opportunity to enter the urban area of ​​Singapore, but also caused the largest number of casualties since the Tiger Mighty Army entered the battle. Even I You will be punished by the Ministry of the Army, do you know?" He suddenly turned around and stared at Sun Chuanfang and said, "Are you worthy of the five hundred brothers who died? If I don't kill you this time, there will be a second one in the future. , the third Sun Chuanfang made today's mistake! My order has been issued and cannot be changed. Anyone who dares to intercede for him will follow the military law!"

Sun Chuanfang's face was ashen, and he nodded weakly.

"Pull it out and shoot it on the spot!"

Several soldiers picked up Sun Chuanfang and walked out of the command department, only to hear three "bang bang bang" gunshots outside, and a soldier held Sun Chuanfang's military cap and came back to Cai E: "Report to the commander, Sun Chuanfang has been shot dead."

Cai E took over Sun Chuanfang's military cap and was silent for a long time. Feng Yuxiang couldn't help admiring Cai E's law enforcement, and patted Cai E on the shoulder: "Songpo, you did a good job. When the war is over, I will personally replace it for you." You explain it to the War Department."

After Sun Chuanfang was shot, Cai E held an emergency military meeting, carefully summed up the reasons for the setbacks of the first two attacks, and believed that the formulation of the combat plan was still a bit eager for quick success. In case of heavy casualties, it is better to move slowly in the battle plan.After repeated consultations, it was finally decided to complete the siege of the city of Singapore first, and then look for a breakthrough and attack in one fell swoop.According to the plan, after the Huwei Army completes the iron wall encirclement of Singapore, the Zhenwei Army's reinforcements will continue to attack the Changi area in the east, expanding the depth of the encirclement and making its offensive system more complete.In terms of specific offensive strategies, on the ground, it consists of two groups, each of which is responsible for two directions.The first is the western cluster of the 20th Division led by Liu Cunhou.This group of four Panzergrenadier divisions and four infantry divisions would attack from the northwest and northeast towards the center of the city.Their task was to capture the Singapore Railway Station to the northeast, while the other was the Southern Group of Armored Forces commanded by Ropekin.This group has a total of an armored division and an infantry division temporarily assigned from the 16th Army. Their combat purpose is to capture the three military piers in the south of Singapore as soon as possible, and the air force will provide full fire support.

After about four hours of preparation, the Huwei Army and Zhenwei Army began to launch a new attack in the early hours of the morning.After about half an hour of direct artillery fire, a large number of heavily armed Huwei soldiers began to attack the defensive positions in downtown Singapore like a landslide.Soon under the cover of tanks, the outlying positions in the southwest were broken by the Huwei army.However, the rebels quickly reacted, and the reserve teams of the two regiments were transferred from the city center, and the two sides launched fierce street fighting.At six o'clock in the morning, the Huwei army still hadn't opened a gap in this place.

At this time, there was a strange and huge roar in the sky, and everyone couldn't help but look into the sky, and several brand-new monoplanes appeared in people's field of vision. Five-clawed golden dragon! .

"Attention all. I am Liu Mingjiu, captain of the brigade! We have reached the sky above the target area, descending the flight altitude! Lowering the flight altitude! Let them know how powerful we are." Liu Mingjiu, the captain of the Second Bomber Battalion in charge of commanding this unit, said loudly through the radio Said.With an order, those planes pushed down the nose and dropped the altitude one after another.Because based on long-term combat experience, they clearly know what the main weapon of this monoplane is, neither the two fifty-kilogram bombs hanging under the wings, nor the two machine guns installed on the hood, but It's the horrible sound effect of propellers that exceed a certain speed.

All the pilots saw that the tachometer of their plane had reached [-] revolutions per minute. At the same time, a huge sound wave was produced in front of the plane's engine, and everyone present would hear a scream similar to a heavy machine gun Sound, this is the sound from the propeller.

"Follow me!" Liu Mingjiu began to push the joystick violently, and the planes lined up in a column, whizzing past the roof of Singapore City ten meters above the war zone.The power of such a strong sound at such a close distance is terrifying.Hearing this sharp scream, all the rebels involuntarily dropped their weapons because they needed to cover their ears with their hands.However, the Huwei Army did not seem to be afraid.Because they had cotton balls stuffed in their ears.It didn't take long for the rebel counterattack to be defeated by this inexplicable noise tactic.The Huwei Army regained the initiative.

But the ensuing battle was not very easy. The rebels set up countless firepower points on the streets of Singapore. They sealed the streets with sand, stones and wood to form a line of defense.Block the facades on the street with bricks, leaving only shooting holes.As a result, the streets became seemingly indestructible fortresses under the careful setting of the rebels.

The infantry of the Tiger Mighty Army had to organize a commando to attack the fortifications by means of blasting and other means. Under the cover of smoke, the soldiers who served as the assault quietly approached the target they wanted to capture, and then threw the grenades they had prepared long ago. Near the firing port, or use a flamethrower to spray on the still firing muzzle.In this way of attack, most of the resistance of the rebels was terminated, and the firepower was pulled out one by one.

At around 8 o'clock in the morning, Qi Xieyuan's infantry regiment and the vanguard of the No.12 Panzergrenadier Regiment finally approached the railway station in the east of the city.However, they had to stop advancing, because now the entire front line has been stretched very long, and once their own troops appear on the street, the several kilometers long flank will be exposed to the enemy.If the enemy counterattacks from the flanks, the connection of the marching columns of the Huwei Army may be cut off, and those barricades will also cause great difficulties for troop mobilization and material transportation, so after observing the current battle situation, Qi Xieyuan had to He chose to temporarily stop the attack, he didn't want to follow Sun Chuanfang's old path.

At noon that day, Cai E convened a military meeting again to discuss offensive strategies.Cai E said bluntly: "Everyone, the current situation shows that the deployment of troops to the east of Singapore is very strong, and street fighting is not our advantage, so we must think of a way to achieve the best of both worlds to achieve the final victory."

Speaking of this, Chief of Staff Tang Jiyao picked up a telegram and said: "According to the information of the imperial intelligence department. Yuan Shikai has a total of about 2 regular troops stationed in the urban area, plus other local troops and public security troops withdrawn from various places. The total number of columns has reached about 6 to 8, and the fortifications in the urban area have been criss-crossed, so the deeper our troops fight, the more difficult it may be."

"You mean we should focus on the siege?" Jin Yunpeng, commander of the 22nd Army, asked. Take it down and bring Yuan Shikai and his henchmen to justice. If we just surround and don’t fight, it will also affect our morale. So I still suggest to continue to attack, even if Singapore is razed to the ground.”

"Razed to the ground? Don't forget, the empire will take over the jurisdiction of this city in the future." Cai E retorted: "The blood of the soldiers of the empire cannot be shed in vain."

"Commander, what method do you think we should use?" Liu Cunhou asked.

"Everyone should have read "Sun Tzu's Art of War", right?" Cai E stood up and said: "There is such a sentence in this book:'He who is good at using soldiers is the one who subdues the soldiers instead of fighting. It is not an attack. Destroying a country is not a long-term one. It is necessary to fight for the whole world. Therefore, if the army is not stopped, the profit can be complete. This is the way to plan an attack.'”

Everyone present nodded, and seemed to gradually understand what Cai E meant.

Feng Yuxiang interjected: "Actually, the meaning of this passage is very simple. Even when encountering strong fortifications, a strong attack is a last resort. The best way is to obtain them through various schemes. The casualties of attacking cities reach One-third of the words mean failure for the attacking side! The best way is to let the enemy surrender without fighting."

"You mean to force the other side to surrender through tricks?" Li Liejun somewhat disagreed: "However, judging from the two days of fighting, the rebels' fighting will is still very tenacious, and most of them are determined. The thought of sticking to it."

"We can use intimidation without normal means. In short, we have the advantage now." Cai E glanced at the combat staff officer standing beside him, "Has the heavy artillery unit assigned to us by the Ministry of the Army arrived yet?"

"About six more heavy artillery regiments arrived at us yesterday, and now we have a total of eighteen heavy artillery regiments with a caliber of 120 mm or more. In addition, about four independent heavy artillery regiments are coming. At present, our firepower is very strong. In fact, if it were not for the consideration of Singapore's future management, there would be no need to fight at all, just using these heavy artillery can level the city."

ps: Let me promise first, when there are more than [-] flowers, a new chapter will be added, and more flowers will be added in the future.In addition, some friends said that history has changed, so why would there be Tanaka memorials? I thought about this for a long time, and then I felt that even though it is a fiction, it should not be completely fabricated, and it must have something to do with history. Combined, please read down slowly, I did not completely copy the real history, many places have been changed, so the direction of development will be completely different.

Resurrection: World War II, Chapter 5, Chapter [-], Destroying Yuan

"Very good!" Cai E nodded in satisfaction, "How many planes can the Air Force have?"

"We now have a total of six fighter formations, fourteen tactical bomber brigades, and a total of more than 100 combat aircraft of various types. As long as you give an order, the whole line can be dispatched at any time!"

"Okay! Since street fighting is not easy to fight, we will carry out a full-line bombing tomorrow to pull out several major fortifications in the urban area of ​​Singapore, and more importantly, to attack the confidence of the rebels to resist!"

"Yes!"

Early the next morning, a vision suddenly appeared in the sky over Singapore. Accompanied by a huge roar, a large area of ​​dense black spots appeared in the sky. These black spots gradually enlarged under the sunlight, revealing the outline of the plane.

"Airplanes! So many airplanes? Singapore is over this time!" Many citizens looked up at the sky restlessly, or lowered their heads and sighed. They had never seen so many aircraft battle clusters. Could it be that they want Singapore to be completely wiped out from the earth? Disappeared?

The bomber unit began to climb slowly, and the two navigation planes reached the designated target and dropped the target indicator bomb.The black bomb exploded 80 meters above the ground.The orange flames turned into two fire dragons, engulfing the entire area in an instant.Thereby indicating the target for subsequent aircraft.A large number of planes that arrived later entered sequentially at a single plane interval of 15 meters.Dropped bombs on the western part of Singapore at an altitude of 800 meters.Bombs rained down on the city's fortifications.The wind whistle on the top of the bomb blew piercingly.Following explosions one after another, mushroom clouds of various sizes slowly gathered, swallowing everything around them.Under the action of the wind, the black clouds began to rotate continuously, which was daunting!

After the first wave of bombing was completed, the aircraft formation folded its wings and returned.But Singaporeans did not breathe a sigh of relief as soon there was an even louder roar in the sky.This is the transport fleet of the Second Air Force, which is fully loaded with incendiary bombs. When the bombs are dropped, two soldiers move the incendiary bombs from the cabin in bundles to the hatch on the side of the fuselage, and then pass through a " "Potato funnel"-like droppers.The incendiary bomb filled with a mixture of solid white phosphorus and gasoline caught fire immediately after falling to the ground.The rebels in the fortifications were burned alive inside before they could figure out the situation.The size of this kind of bomb is relatively small, and the damage caused is not very obvious, but this destructive strike method has successfully caused the spirit of the rebels to collapse!

At three o'clock in the afternoon, Cai E ordered the Air Force to attack again.One hundred bombers carried out fixed-point bombing on the main fortifications in the already ruined urban area.In addition, more than a dozen bombing formations also called the rebel defense lines outside the urban area one by one.In total, the air force dispatched [-] sorties of bombing clusters within one day, dropping [-] tons of bombs on Singapore, and the periphery of the urban area became a sea of ​​flames.
