Travel through the Qing Dynasty and become emperor

On the same day, the Western Expeditionary Force announced that the Iraqi separatist terrorist organization "Boremia" was an illegal organization.To stabilize the Middle East, it must be cleared.In Iran and Iraq, a campaign to clear Bohemia begins.Six hours later.The filthy Bohemian organization was completely wiped out. On the same day, Du Yuming's Lightning Troops entered Samaha, and the soldiers pointed directly at Baghdad.

The establishment of the new government of Prince Saeed and the defection of the Iraqi Fourth Army not only caused the entire northern defense line of Iraq to collapse in an instant, but also the remnants of the northern region also launched rebellions, especially the Kurds. They fell from a dangerous situation to an abyss of despair.

On May 5, Du Yuming's armored troops arrived near Baghdad first, and when they were about to move on, they found some strange small villages on both sides of the road, with some hidden fortifications inside.For example, a small town called Natalinz, 26 kilometers away from Baghdad, is an extended tank trap.The town is surrounded by an anti-tank wall as high as 30 meters, with three anti-tank ditches and fortifications built with big trees.In addition, there are forts on these fortifications. After observation by the reconnaissance troops, the opponent's artillery observation post may be set up in the watchtower of the church.

The style of this village is very similar to the fortified town that the Dragon Army encountered when they fought in Iran. Of course, Du Yuming, who participated in the Iranian campaign, would not rashly let his tank troops enter this town.Because he had already learned enough lessons in the Iran campaign.He sent a small team of reconnaissance troops to contain the opponent.The subsequent armored units began to change direction to avoid the town, handed over the town to the infantry who would soon be supported, and continued to advance in the direction of Baghdad.

However, Du Yuming's tactical action made them slightly behind the 1st Armored Division that had been behind them in time.

"Sir, our lightning troops have been fully deployed in Samaha, and now they are rushing towards Baghdad at high speed." Bai Liang, the commander of the [-]th Armored Division, whispered to his boss Chen Jitang unhappily.

"Oh! I see!" Chen Jitang, who was sitting in the armored command vehicle, nodded slightly, while he was having breakfast.A plate of bread, a bottle of jam, a piece of butter, a cup of green tea and a pile of maps are piled up on the table in a disorderly manner, looking very sloppy.

"Just now Du Yuming reported on the radio that their troops have passed the Ramadi area, and all the troops are preparing to cross the river. The forward troops have approached Haditse, which is still 10 kilometers away from Baghdad."

"Not bad, very soon!" Chen Jitang kept nodding, took a sip of the tea on the table, then raised his head and glanced at the other party, and said, "Do you know what army they are?"

"Du Yuming is leading the Imperial Lightning Troop, but the Battle of Baghdad hasn't started yet, so I don't know if the Lightning Troop has a false name." Bai Liang said sourly from the side.

"Alas!" Chen Jitang pretended to sigh softly, but he wanted to choke on purpose, "Who is Du Yuming? Didn't you hear that the soldiers called him Desperate Saburo? It seems that Du Yuming is desperate now. The Super Golden Dragon Medal is already determined." At this point, he turned his head and glanced at the other party: "Mr. Bai, your troops must hurry up. You can't let this kid win so easily!" Speaking of this, he slightly With a smile, he continued to pick up the teacup on the table.

Bai Liang snorted unconvinced, turned his face away and stopped talking.

Will of the Empire Chapter 842 Baghdad is under our feet

At this time, Du Yuming's Lightning Troops were already close to the bank of the Tigris River, and immediately organized a company to go to the coast to investigate to determine whether the bridge on the north side of the Tigris River was intact.If the bridge is still there, capture it with a raid.If the bridge is not there, then build a bridgehead near the ferry to ensure that your troops can successfully occupy the ferry.

Du Yuming's Lightning Troops reached Haditha by 8 am, but the bridge across the Tigris had already been blown up.So Du Yuming found several small fishing boats and transported part of his reconnaissance troops and a small number of sidecar motorcycles across the river.Been busy like this for half an hour.After establishing a small landing field, Du Yuming personally led the small team to rush towards Baghdad.They reached the north bank of the Tigris at 11:30 am, but the bridge here was also blown up by the Iraqis at 6 am.

Therefore, Du Yuming immediately asked his men to look for tools to cross the river along the river bank, while he held up his binoculars to observe the movement on the other side.As a result, he was surprised to find that there was no defense at all on the other side of the river.It made him unable to believe his eyes.So he immediately reported the situation to the main armored force through the radio, and asked his superiors to allow him to cross the river and carry out a surprise attack on Baghdad City, trying to capture the city at once, or establish a more reliable support near the city point.

After hearing Du Yuming's report, Chen Jitang did not agree with the other party's terrible move. "Du Yuming, is this kid crazy? Just relying on his brigade-level Lightning Troops, he actually wants to attack the capital of Iraq? I'm really out of my head." Now Chen Jitang needs to think more about the overall situation, throwing bombs with his own armor The main force of the army division is still on the way, and the current situation in Baghdad is not clear.The order of the Western Expeditionary Command was to send troops to besiege Baghdad and establish a defensive circle.So he ordered Du Yuming not to act rashly, not to cross the Tigris River before the main force arrived, and not to enter Baghdad without authorization.

But Du Yuming, who was even crazier than Chen Jitang, didn't obey his boss's orders. Before Chen Jitang's telegram arrived, he had already dispatched.This is due to the fact that his men found a motorboat that was about to be abandoned in a small wood next to the river bank. After carefully inspecting the motorboat, he found that the motorboat was still in good condition.Although this motorboat can only hold a small number of people, Du Yuming is not worried at all. In his opinion, the bombed city in front of him is actually in danger, and now he only needs to stand on the edge of Baghdad Raise your arms at the gate, and this ancient city with thousands of years will raise a white flag to him.He will never let go of this opportunity to become famous.In addition, he didn't care that he had only a few soldiers and a motorboat by his side, he firmly believed that he could

To create a miracle this time, as long as he can succeed, Du Yuming will shine in the annals of history from now on.

At about 15:15 in the afternoon, Du Yuming decided not to wait for Chen Jitang's order, so he ordered the troops to cross the river immediately.This time is not a good season for swimming. The water of the Tigris River is gradually rising, the turbid waves are rolling on the wide river, and there are broken branches, dead trees and other messy things floating on the raging river.These things are like reefs threatening the safety of passing ships.In this case, it is very dangerous to cross the river on a small motorboat, let alone when it is overloaded.However, Du Yuming didn't care at all. After doing some simple reconnaissance and exploration work, he set off with his team.This team includes 2 fighters including him and the 12nd platoon leader.These men had two machine guns, six submachine guns and four semi-automatic rifles.

The small motorboat is like a fallen leaf floating on the turbid current, turning over the turbid river waves, carefully avoiding obstacles on the river, while Du Yuming and his soldiers are like ants standing on the leaves The same, strenuously paddling the oars, fighting against the torrent.

Soon, they encountered the first problem. Near Shazhou near the middle of the river, the overloaded motorboat suddenly ran aground and got stuck in the middle of the river, unable to advance or retreat.It took a lot of effort for the casual sailors on the small boat to get their boat out of the shallows.However, after a while, the engine on the motorboat suddenly stopped working.Then, the small boat drifting with the current almost hit the remaining bridge piers on the river.Under the fiddle of these half-baked sailors, the disappointing engine finally returned to normal, and they finally reached the south bank.At this time, it was already 16:30 in the afternoon.Everyone's clothes are soaked.

After reaching the north bank of the bridge, Du Yuming quickly established a defensive position and built a small bridgehead.Then, he sent two soldiers to drive the boat back to the north shore.His purpose is very simple, that is to strive to transport some soldiers and equipment across the river before sunset to consolidate the strength of this bridgehead.However, the sky fails to fulfill people's wishes.When the boat was returning, it hit a piece of wooden pile, which immediately knocked the wooden boat through a big gap, and quickly disappeared on the fast-moving Tigris River.At this point, the small "navy" that Du Yuming relied on was finished. In this case, he and his small team were completely isolated on the south bank.At this time, he had only 10 men, 2 machine guns, 5 submachine guns and 3 semi-automatic rifles, and the supplies and ammunition were not very sufficient.

"Should we wait for help or keep going?" Du Yuming was faced with a difficult choice, but the first choice was not to Du Yuming's liking, so he chose the latter as a matter of course.After a short rest.He led the detachment on foot to the city of Baghdad.They walked slowly down the street, looking for signs of snipers and mines.However, the streets were empty.All the doors and windows on both sides of the street were tightly closed, and the citizens either fled or hid.Along the way, they saw ruins and ruins, and some ruins were still emitting green smoke. Du Yuming knew that these were the masterpieces of the Chinese Air Force.

Du Yuming and the others walked on this broad road, feeling as if they had entered an uninhabited city, a city of death.

Suddenly there was a sound of an engine, and Du Yuming immediately ordered to be alert.When two legal trucks and a public tram appeared at the corner of the street, Du Yuming gave an order, and the submachine guns, machine guns and semi-automatic rifles fired together. Wreck the cars, and he and his soldiers still want to use these vehicles in the next mission.

After a short burst of fire, nearly 20 Iraqi soldiers in three trucks raised their hands and surrendered. Du Yuming and his men suffered no casualties.Looks like good luck is still with the young major.When the soldiers of the Dragon Army were searching, they found a drunken Chinese tourist on a public tram. He had been trapped in Baghdad since the day the war broke out. Yesterday he had a dispute with others because he was drunk in a tavern. As a result, he cursed a few times, the bartender heard this move, and quietly told the Baghdad police station, and soon the unlucky tourist was arrested by the Iraqi military as a spy, and he was about to be taken to the execution ground soon He was shot, and the poor tourist is still so drunk that he has no idea of ​​the fate he is about to face.

Du Yuming asked his subordinates to wake up the Chinese. After waking up, at first he thought he was still in the bar and drinking with friends. He didn't fully wake up until he saw the military uniforms of Du Yuming and others.

Du Yuming briefly introduced the situation of the Lightning Army, "Everyone is Chinese, I hope you can do your part for the Dragon Army and act as an interpreter for us."

"Do I have a choice now? It's better to act as an interpreter for you than to be captured and shot by the Iraqis."

Afterwards, Du Yuming's team continued their adventure. He asked several of his men to change into Iraqi military uniforms, escorted the prisoners, and headed towards the city in a captured car.

Along the way, they encountered several checkpoints. The sentries were confused by the prisoners in the car and lost their due vigilance, because almost all the Iraqi defenders believed that the Chinese must besiege the city, not Launch a raid.Just like what they did in the Battle of Tehran, they couldn't imagine that a bold Chinese military officer led 10 people and swaggered into the capital of Iraq. In this regard, they all lack the vigilance to deal with such emergencies , So Du Yuming and his men succeeded again and again, until they saw the black muzzle protruding from the car, they had no choice but to raise their hands.

In this way, Du Yuming and his soldiers captured more and more people.However, there are always times when the deception is exposed.Finally, a few Iraqi guards at a checkpoint were quite smart, so gunshots rang out immediately.Du Yuming immediately ordered to remove all camouflage, rushed towards the center of the city at full speed, and opened fire on the Iraqi soldiers on both sides of the road.In the fierce confrontation, many prisoners in the car were killed by bullets on the spot, including the unlucky Chinese tourist.However, what is amazing is that Du Yuming and his men were not injured at all.

In this way, Du Yuming and his soldiers went straight into the heart of Baghdad, the Baghdad Municipal District.

Du Yuming and his squad entered the center of Baghdad, and the Iraqi soldiers who had just resisted on the street suddenly disappeared.But the number of ordinary civilians increased, which made Du Yuming, who was facing the enemy, feel very strange, and secretly cursed: "His grandma, are all the Iraqi soldiers dead?"

Will of the Empire Chapter 843 Occupy the Ministry of Defense

Du Yuming ordered the soldiers to arrest a civilian at random. After interrogation, he found out that these civilians were running around for their own livelihood.Although the Chinese are constantly bombing, it doesn't matter to those civilians.Because, they still have to eat, as long as they are not killed by the bomb, they still have to eat.Therefore, regardless of whether Du Yuming and his squad came or not, the Iraqis had to work hard for their own survival.

Du Yuming and his convoy passed through the bustling crowds and continued to move forward. The Iraqis on the street looked very calm. They were indifferent to the Chinese soldiers who suddenly appeared in front of them, as if the Chinese should have appeared here in the first place.Du Yuming and others were not hindered, and they stopped in front of the Iraqi Ministry of National Defense.

The Iraqi Ministry of National Defense was hit by a bomb in an air strike three days ago. The four 1.2-ton bombs were almost reduced to a pile of rubble under the precise strike of the Lanxiang dive bomber, and there was no one around them. .Faced with this situation, Du Yuming immediately issued an order to set up machine guns and set up guard posts at the gate of the Ministry of National Defense.Then he asked his subordinates to remove the flag of the Republic of Iraq from the Ministry of Defense building and raise a five-clawed golden dragon flag.

When the Iraqis suddenly discovered that a five-clawed golden dragon flag was flying on the Ministry of National Defense building, which symbolizes their country's highest military power, people really felt that something was wrong.They moved closer to the Ministry of Defense building.These Iraqi civilians looked at Du Yuming and his subordinates with surprise and confusion.In the eyes of these ordinary people, the presence of Chinese people in the center of Baghdad is unimaginable to them, and everyone wants to see what happened.At this time, Du Yuming and the others only had 11 people. Facing thousands of onlookers, it was like facing a pack of wolves. As long as there was a little trouble, the 11 of them might become a delicious meal for these wolves at any time.I don't know who suddenly exclaimed in the crowd: "Chinese! Chinese mechanized troops are coming!"

Hearing this cry, the Iraqi civilians who had been watching immediately became agitated. They never thought that Chinese soldiers would be so close to them.More importantly, in their eyes, the mechanized troops of the Dragon Army are simply the incarnation of the devil.This yell was like dropping a heavy bomb on a calm lake. In just a short moment, all the people present began to get restless, and people quickly started running in all directions.

Seeing the Iraqis fleeing in all directions, Du Yuming couldn't believe his eyes. Originally, he was afraid that the Iraqi army would attack him after getting the information.Therefore, he asked his subordinates to immediately organize a simple line of defense. Two machine guns established a simple position on the ruins of the three-story Ministry of Defense building, and a sniper climbed up to a four-story church opposite.They stand ready to fight back against the Iraqi army and police who might show up.But a long time has passed, and the Iraqi army has not arrived.

At this time, Du Yuming suddenly realized that a huge opportunity to become famous had come, and the only test for them was courage and courage.Thinking of this, he immediately issued an order to take over the center of Baghdad immediately until the large army of the Dragon Army arrived.

At this time, at about 5:27 on May 17th, Du Yuming asked the soldiers to organize two patrol teams, with two platoon leaders each leading a three-member team, and began to follow the two patrol lines of the Ministry of National Defense. Walking forward on the street, he wants to tell the citizens of Iraq that the capital of Iraq has been occupied by the Chinese.

Next, Du Yuming withdrew the snipers on the roof, but still kept a machine gun post, and he and another machine gun post set up defense at the gate of the Ministry of National Defense. He even pulled out a chair, and everyone Ma Jindao sat on it, and then stared at all the Iraqis passing by on the street with indifferent eyes.

After a while like this, a Chinese man with gray hair and gentlemanly attire walked up to Du Yuming and asked in a low voice full of doubts: "Are you really the Chinese paratroopers?"

"That's right! Sir, we are soldiers of the Chinese Empire." Du Yuming replied affirmatively, and then he slowly said: "However, we are not paratroopers, we are members of the armored troops of the Western Expeditionary Army of the Empire. We arrived in Baghdad, but we encountered a little problem, our main force is still on the opposite side of the Tigris River. Of course, it is estimated that our main force will arrive tomorrow, there should be no problem, as long as they know the situation here!"

After listening to Du Yuming's explanation, the old man immediately showed a very excited look, his frown was gradually relaxed, and then he showed his ID to everyone present, the Chinese Consulate in Baghdad , Second Secretary. "On behalf of the entire staff of the Imperial Foreign Office and the Baghdad Consulate, I request you to go there immediately to defend our consulate and all the diplomatic officials inside. Sir, this concerns the honor of the Empire." Speaking of this, the old man couldn't help but Straightened his waist.

Since the other party brought up the honor of the empire, Du Yuming could only agree.After all, the opponent's hat was too big, and he couldn't resist it.Soon, Du Yuming recalled his small patrol team and hurried to the consulate.

At this time, the Chinese Consulate in Baghdad was already in turmoil, because this period of time was the most terrifying time for all diplomatic staff, although the Iraqi government did not expel Chinese diplomats, and it has repeatedly promised that they will not initiate attacks on diplomatic places like the consulate. The attack, however, was harassed by Iraqis throughout this time.Those people threw Molotov cocktails and stones at this building representing the dignity of the Chinese people, and kept lighting bonfires. This kind of continuous spiritual destruction made everyone in the consulate feel uneasy.Everyone in the consulate hoped that Chinese troops would quickly enter the city to free them.

However, more and more news indicated that the soldiers of the Dragon Army did not seem to be planning to launch an attack on Baghdad, which made Chinese diplomats feel as if they were suffering in hell.At this time, they suddenly heard that a group of dragon troops had appeared near the Iraqi Ministry of Defense, and they were very likely to be Chinese paratroopers, but they didn't know the real situation of this dragon army.Because they did not get the news of Long Jun's entry into Baghdad through the radio, because the consulate has a high-frequency radio station that can directly contact Beijing.But there is a serious problem at present, that is, this station has a little problem due to the bombing, and it can only receive messages but cannot send any messages.Therefore, they can only monitor the radio information of the Dragon Army, but they cannot communicate with other departments of the Dragon Army, let alone send a telegram for help.Therefore, after receiving the news, they immediately sent a second secretary to contact Long Jun.

In the basement of the consulate, Du Yuming and his soldiers were warmly welcomed by Guo Taiqi, the consul of the Baghdad consulate, and others.

"Ambassador Guo, thank you very much for your hospitality!" After some warm hospitality, Du Yuming said with his tongue out, "I have two things I need you to do."

"Okay, brother, tell me!" Guo Taiqi blushed and nodded vigorously.

"One, our individual radios were lost while crossing the river. Now I need someone to cross the river immediately and inform our troops of our situation. Second, I need to find the mayor of Baghdad and have him face me. surrender!"

"Bang!" A glass fell on the table and broke into countless pieces.Everyone present was stunned, they couldn't help but look at Du Yuming, as if seeing an ancient tyrannosaur!

"Old Chen, I heard that your men charge very fast! Now they are the fastest troops. I congratulate you for this." On the north bank of the Tigris River 40 kilometers away from Baghdad, the armored army is before attacking Baghdad For the last rest, they set up a temporary headquarters with tents.The commander of the armored group, Chen Jitang, hadn't warmed his butt when he received the news that the commander-in-chief Feng Yuxiang had come to supervise the battle.

Feng Yuxiang visited this simple headquarters with great interest, and happily patted Chen Jitang on the shoulder.

Hearing the Commander-in-Chief's praise, Chen Jitang seemed to have drank two catties of old wine, and also seemed to have been in a Turkish sauna for several hours, as if his bones were no longer so heavy.Feng Yuxiang is not a general who praises others casually. This is also the first time that Chen Jitang has received face-to-face praise from the commander-in-chief.

Although my immediate boss is not old and seems to be weak, but it is terrible to get angry.At least he has been reprimanded by Feng Yuxiang since Jiang Baili's subordinates worked for the boss. Compared with Chen Cheng and Tang Shengzhi, the commanders on the north and south fronts, he always feels that the commander-in-chief treats him like a mistress, so, When Feng Yuxiang praised him so much, he felt a little flattered.
