Travel through the Qing Dynasty and become emperor

After a month of intense and busy work on both sides, on December 12, Guan Xuqing personally signed the order for the general attack of the Dragon Army.In the history of the United States, this day is called "the beginning of the decline of the United States", while in the books of China or other countries in the world, this day is called "Judgment Day".

Judgment on America, trial on history.In fact, before this, all the results have been known, the Americans are just trying to delay the arrival of this result, and the Chinese army is only faithfully performing the mission it should complete.

The general offensive was launched from the southwestern defense line, and as General MacArthur and his chief of staff feared, the Chinese carried out a terrible artillery cover before the attack.Thousands of tons of shells fell on the US military positions like rain.On December 12 alone, the US military suffered more than 23 casualties.

General MacArthur tried his best to organize an artillery counterattack, but soon, the weak artillery fire of the US military was completely silenced by the Chinese, and the entire artillery position was shrouded in the crazy artillery fire of the Chinese army.The planes of the Chinese Air Force patrolled the battlefield arrogantly, pouring bombs and machine gun bullets on the US positions from time to time. The unresisting US military seemed to make the Chinese pilots feel a little bored. The tip of his nose passed by, and the American soldiers could even see the eyebrows of the Chinese pilot clearly. "Slaughter!" These were the only two words General MacArthur uttered after seeing the battle.

For Chinese soldiers, this is a war that is difficult for them to raise their spirits. They don't know that they are under such fierce artillery fire.When they rush to the position, what kind of resistance can they have?What makes Chinese soldiers dissatisfied is whether those artillerymen have gone crazy.Or there are too many shells shipped from the country, forcing them to use them unrestrainedly.

In fact, they really guessed right.The empire made full preparations before the outbreak of the war, and the military supplies in stock were too large. Until November, there was still a large amount of military supplies that had nowhere to be used.And new equipment and new weapons are continuously developed from the production line.

If you want to consume these old materials as soon as possible, in addition to selling them in large quantities to other countries, perhaps the United States is the best place to consume them.The only person who was troubled was Chen Changjie, the captain of the Dragon Army Special Artillery Brigade.He still has a backlog of more than [-] tons of chemical shells in his hands. These dangerous things are expensive to store and have no place to use.He made several requests to Chiang Kai-shek to launch chemical artillery shells on the American battlefield, but they were all rejected by the other party.

When Chen Changjie, who was full of complaints, met the emperor and expressed his request, Guan Xuqing spread his hands and said helplessly: "Personally, I agree with your suggestion of using chemical weapons. However, now at the front line It is Chiang Kai-shek who commands the battle, and I have no right to interfere with their actions."

When the crazy and terrible artillery battle is over.The American position was almost bombarded into ruins.The Chinese soldiers rushed up lazily with their guns in hand, and they didn't expect to encounter fierce resistance.The current Chinese army is like an excellent boxer. Only when they meet an opponent of comparable strength can they arouse their desire to fight. It is difficult for them to fully cheer up those weak opponents who are not at the same level.

On the Arkansas line.The 1000th Division of the Dragon Army and the Lightning Troops, which were responsible for the main offensive mission, this time the attack was completely different from the previous period. The forward positions of the Arkansas defense line were completely broken through by them in just ten minutes, and more than 88 American soldiers fell. On the ground.But when they develop in depth.However, it encountered fierce resistance from the elite [-]th Infantry Division of the US Army.The troops supervised by MacArthur himself, one by one, seemed to have taken a stimulant, pulling the trigger desperately, trying to stop the advance of the dragon army.

"Zhang Zhizhong, how is your situation?" Luo Lie connected his old subordinate, the 38th Brigade Headquarters: "I seem to see from the back that your progress is not going very well, do you want me to send you reinforcements? ?”

"No, Commander." Zhang Zhizhong's voice on the phone seemed confident: "We have encountered some slight resistance, but the situation is not serious. There are already two armored companies on the left. It will be inserted into the enemy's position!"

Dragon's Roar Chapter [-] Judgment Day

"Don't embarrass me!" Luo Lie yelled into the phone: "Since the establishment of the 38th Brigade, I have never known what it is like to fail. If you can't hold the ground before sunset, you go home and farm!"

Zhang Zhizhong, who put down the phone, walked out of the command post quickly, and said loudly: "The division commander issued a death order, and the position cannot be taken before sunset. All the officers and soldiers of the brigade will go home to farm. Brothers, show the demeanor of Chinese soldiers!"

Zhang Zhizhong was a little unkind. Luo Lie only gave such a life to him alone, but his brigade commander expanded the scope of this to the whole brigade.Stimulated by the brigade commander, the 38th brigade finally broke out with all its fighting enthusiasm, and they rushed to the US military positions unstoppably like a tide.The flamethrower spit out flames one after another, dyeing the entire position into a sea of ​​flames.American soldiers struggled and wailed in the sea of ​​fire. They kept cursing this terrible weapon and this damn war, and then died painfully in despair.

Soon, the soldiers of the Dragon Army rushed to the position, and the desperate American soldiers aroused their enthusiasm for fighting.They picked up the bayonets in their hands, and rushed towards the soldiers of the Dragon Army screaming, and hand-to-hand combat broke out in a blink of an eye.The gleaming bayonets flew up and down on the battlefield, blood splashed out one after another, and the lives of soldiers were worthless here.American soldiers rushed up in rows, gritted their teeth and red eyes, and fought with the Chinese soldiers.

"The battlefield, this is the most real battlefield." General MacArthur murmured: "The bureaucrats in New York should really come here to take a look and let them know how desperately the soldiers fought. If those officials in New York If you can use half the enthusiasm of the soldiers to support the front line, maybe the war will end in a different way now."

The chief of staff said numbly: "They will never see that those damned politicians will just blindly shirk their responsibilities, and then after the war is over, they will find a scapegoat at random, and then they can continue to live comfortably Leisurely days, but those who really shed their blood for this country cannot get the fair treatment they deserve."

General MacArthur put down the binoculars and said: "Do our best, we can do our duty as a soldier. Order all the reserves to fight, life and death, it depends on this battle!"

With the massive investment of the U.S. reserve force, the situation on the battlefield became more and more intense. Millions of soldiers fought hard on the front-line battlefield in Arkansas, and blood dyed the entire sky red.

All the third divisions of the Lightning Troops participated in the battle, and the tanks criss-crossed the battlefield, cutting the US defensive positions into pieces, making the entire defense line of the US military unable to respond from the beginning to the end, and completely surrounded by the Chinese army.

"It looks like we're going to win." Zhu Peide said lightly: "The resistance of the Americans is gradually decreasing, and several important positions have already fallen into our hands. As long as there are no major accidents, the Arkansas The battle should be over."

Chiang Kai-shek nodded: "This is the same as my opinion. In the battle of Arkansas, MacArthur's main force should have been consumed. From here to Atlanta, and then to New York, we will encounter much less resistance. The American Freedom The Union Army's current offensive is also very fierce, and the Americans can't care about both ends, and failure will be the final verdict on them."

"A year of bloody battle." Zhu Peide said with some emotion: "A whole year of bloody battle, hundreds of thousands of soldiers blood-stained on the battlefield, tens of billions of funds were spent like running water. Now I think about it, I still feel a little scared, in case we Losing this war, what will China be like?"

"You and I, including His Majesty, will become sinners of China." Chiang Kai-shek smiled and said, "We will be cast aside by history for hundreds, thousands of years, and our names will be nailed to the disgrace of the Chinese nation." On the pillar. But fortunately, the final victor is us, our great country, our great nation!"

Zhu Peide smiled, and he gave an order to the staff next to him: "Order all the troops to attack, attack! Go break through the US positions and defeat the enemy on the opposite side. This is the only order from the headquarters!"

The blood reflects the setting sun, the sound of shouts shakes the sky, and the final decisive battle has begun!

The 38th Brigade completed its mission before sunset. The 88th Infantry Division of the U.S. Army, under the combined attack of the 38th Brigade of the Dragon Army and the Lightning Armored Division, could no longer hold on. Thousands of people were killed in the whole division. The same goes down.No matter how hard General MacArthur tried and how loudly he reprimanded him, he could not save the fate of the US military's final failure.

"We have completed the task!" Zhang Zhizhong reported proudly on the phone: "The Arkansas defense line is under my feet, and the Americans have collapsed. Now I don't have to go home to farm!"

A bright imperial flag fluttered high above the Arkansas defense line. He publicized to the Americans the mighty force of the Chinese army and the invincible determination of the Chinese soldiers.The fluttering and flying of the Chinese military flag strongly stimulated the already fragile hearts of the Americans, making the remaining fighting spirit of the Americans weaker and weaker.

There are only two roads left before General MacArthur, a glorious death or a shameful surrender.From MacArthur's own wishes, he wanted to fight to the end, but the cruel reality was placed in front of him.

On January 1921, 1, nearly one million Chinese troops launched a fierce attack on Atlanta from several directions, and the Chinese army had an absolute advantage in artillery, tanks and aircraft. This advantage was so great that the U.S. military could only sigh in awe the point.The Arkansas defense line was breached in several places, and the entire U.S. military position was in jeopardy. If the resistance continued, the entire U.S. army would be wiped out for a whole night. MacArthur was always struggling and hesitating. The rise and fall of hundreds of thousands of U.S. troops was only in his flash Give up glory and choose disgrace; or fight like a warrior to the end?

The chief of staff also sat next to General MacArthur all night. The two most senior commanders of the western and southern regional defenses of the US military sat face to face until the sky was bright, and neither of them said a word.

"Mislin." This was the first time that General MacArthur directly called the chief of staff by his name. He couldn't bear it any longer. Seeing that the sky was about to dawn and the Chinese's devastating offensive was about to begin: "It's time to make a decision. What do you think of our future, and what would you do if you sat in my position?"

The chief of staff was silent for a while, and said: "I can't replace your decision, general, I can only express my personal opinion. It is irreversible, and the war is over in my opinion. You can go outside and see, the position There are Chinese tanks running everywhere, Chinese artillery shells everywhere, and bayonets carried by Chinese soldiers everywhere. We are being bombed every minute, on the ground, in the sky, God knows when the bombs will come It fell here. In a few days. We have lost 10,000+ troops. Tanks and artillery have all become a pile of scrap iron. What is the point of fighting such a war? So my opinion is, for Hundreds of thousands of U.S. soldiers can go home alive after the war, lay down your arms, General!"

"Drop your arms?" General MacArthur laughed self-deprecatingly: "Of course I can lay down my arms, but what do you think the Chinese will do to me? Well, I don't think I'm guilty of being shot. Maybe as a prisoner of war." I will come out after being locked up for a few years. But when I come back, what will this country look like? I am a person who cares about my reputation very much! I can even duel with others for the sake of reputation. Without reputation, I have nothing No more. The United States will say. You see, this is MacArthur, he defeated 100 million American soldiers, and he made the United States a defeated country. Mislin, I can’t imagine if I can survive in such an environment.”

"Then what about our soldiers?" Mislin didn't want to hide his true thoughts: "You only care about your own reputation, of course you can choose to die with honor, but have you thought about how the soldiers feel? They want to live , want to live well, survival is more important to them than anything else. They have parents, wives and children, neither you nor the president can deprive them of the right to live! Yes, when you are released from a prisoner of war camp When you come out of China, there will be many people who will scold you and slander you. However, there will be more people who will thank you. It is you who saved the lives of nearly a million American soldiers. It is you who saved the Countless families on the verge of breaking up. In this sense, you are not only not a sinner, you should also be a hero of the United States!"

The chief of staff's words seemed to have moved MacArthur a little. He took out a smoking pipe and put it in his mouth, but he didn't ignite it. He lowered his head, as if he was looking for the final answer to a thousand-year-old puzzle.Time passed by every minute and every second, the sky was getting brighter and brighter, and the neat slogans of Chinese soldiers and the sound of moving cannons could be faintly heard, and dense sweat could not help oozing from the forehead of the chief of staff.

He didn't want to die, not at all.His son is 14 years old this year, and he will grow into a great boy in a few years, and he will marry and have children in the future. He yearns for an atmosphere where there is no threat of war and he can be in a harmonious family.

"Mislin, go." MacArthur put down his pipe and said calmly: "Go to the Chinese and tell them that we are willing to surrender conditionally. If the war is defeated, everything can be over. The shame of the United States will come from here. One day, it officially begins with you and me!"

Dragon's Roar Chapter 110 Negotiation

All the guns of the Dragon Army were aimed at the US positions, and the Longwei Army Command had issued the final order to end the battle in Atlanta on this day.The soldiers have all entered the designated positions, the bayonets have been loaded, and the fuses of the grenades are pulled on their fingers; the engines of the tanks are roaring, ready to be put into the battlefield at any time.All the Chinese troops participating in the war are only waiting for the final order from the headquarters.

Suddenly, two Americans walked out of the early morning mist. The one walking in the front wore the rank of brigadier general, held a white flag high in his hand, and kept talking in English.The commander of the [-]th Division, who was in charge of the main attack, knew some English, and he vaguely heard what the American man was yelling, "Don't shoot, I'm here to surrender!"

Luo Lie called an interpreter. After listening for a while, the interpreter told Luo Lie, "That man is Brigadier General Mislin, the chief of staff of the U.S. Army. He negotiated the surrender on behalf of Admiral MacArthur."

"I don't come sooner or later, but I come at this time." Luo Lie cursed in a murmur, "Take him to the commander-in-chief and order the soldiers to temporarily stop attacking. Damn, it seems that this time is going to be a waste of time." It's a game!"

Passing through the Chinese positions, Mislin saw the curious eyes of the Chinese soldiers and the daunting bayonets in their hands. He straightened his chest as hard as he could, trying to maintain the dignity of an American officer.When Mislin passed the Chinese field hospital, he was surprised to find that many women from various countries were busy there, many of them looked like European girls, which made Mislin very curious.

"Colonel Mislin!" A European girl ran over. She obviously knew Mislin. When she ran to Mislin, she realized that the colonel had been promoted to brigadier general: "Oh, sorry, I should call you now General Mislin, don’t you know me? I’m Jennifer, an American reporter, and I interviewed you.”

It was only then that Mislin remembered this well-known reporter in the United States. Ever since she was kidnapped in Mexico and rescued by Chinese soldiers, this beautiful reporter had never concealed her love for the Chinese military officer. She traveled across the sea to China to find her sweetheart. After she came to China for the last time, she lost news of her, but she appeared here unexpectedly.

"Miss Jennifer, it's a great honor to meet you here." Mislin said very gentlemanly: "Have you found your sweetheart?"

Jennifer nodded seriously, and said with a happy face: "Yes, I have found it and I have become his wife. According to the Chinese custom, you should call me Mrs. Zhuang now. My husband is his wife. An officer in China, and as for his position, oh God, I can't tell you, they have a lot of discipline."

Mislin thought, maybe this person can help him: "Then I should congratulate you, Miss Jennifer, oh no, Mrs. Zhuang. Then why did you come back to America?"

Jennifer doesn't feel sorry for her country being devastated by war

Dragon's Roar Chapter 110 The Highest Prisoner of War

Brigadier General Mislin stared blankly at the Chinese. He didn't understand why the Chinese refused so simply. He didn't think there was anything wrong with General MacArthur's terms.

"As I said just now," Chiang Kai-shek said calmly to Brigadier General Mislin with his hands behind his back, "The general attack of the Dragon Army will be postponed until 10 o'clock tomorrow morning, so General MacArthur still has nearly 24 hours to consider whether to accept our proposal." Conditions. But please tell General MacArthur that once this time is exceeded, I will regard the Americans as automatically giving up the chance of surrender and survival, and I will no longer accept any form of surrender. Now, General, please go back to the American positions , You and your soldiers are absolutely safe before the time I set comes. Please tell General MacArthur for me, and I solemnly advise him personally that blind resistance is meaningless!"

When Brigadier General Mislin, who was full of anger, was sent to the door by Jennifer, Brigadier General Mislin, who couldn't bear it any longer, asked: "Mrs. People stubbornly refused, so they were not prepared to accept our surrender from the very beginning?"

Jennifer smiled lightly: "General, you don't understand the Chinese people too well. You will never be able to use the American thinking mode to ask the Chinese people to do something. The request made by General MacArthur is absurd and ridiculous to the Chinese people." Yes, it will even make them feel that this is an insult to a victor. Chiang Kai-shek is still a good-tempered person. If you meet Marshal Zhang Zuolin or Marshal Wu Peifu, maybe they will draw their guns and shoot you. But Believe me, the Chinese always do what they say, and once their time has passed, I can assure you that not a single American soldier will leave this land alive!"

Jennifer's serious words caused Brigadier General Mislin to shudder. He trusted the reporter, and he had even seen the terrifying scene Jennifer mentioned...

Chiang Kai-shek's words were immediately brought to the ears of General MacArthur. The strange thing is that MacArthur was not very angry, as if he had expected such an ending a long time ago.The lit *pipe kept emitting blue smoke in the hands of General MacArthur, but the general was completely immersed in contemplation and did not think of taking a puff.After a long time, General MacArthur said: "Don't the Chinese have any room for negotiation?"
