Warlord: Red Alert Base, I challenge the whole world alone

Chapter 41 Helicopter Force, War Breaks Out in the South

Korean Peninsula, Seoul, Fuso Governor-General's Office.

The current Fuso Governor-General stationed on the Korean Peninsula is Hatoyama Shinya, one of the contemporary young representatives of the Hatoyama family, one of the five major hereditary political families in Fuso.

He was only 42 years old when he took the position of Governor-General of Goryeo, which was a time when he was very ambitious.

Hatoyama Shinya was very clear that if he wanted to move further into the cabinet, he had to make great achievements. Only in this way could the emperor see his ability and be reused.

And this time is an opportunity for him.

Yuan Shicheng, the Prime Minister of the Northern Frontier Court, found him and hoped that he could send troops to the northern border to tie down the main force of the northern border army.

The price for them to send troops is the mining rights of Qianshan Iron Mine.

But how could Hatoyama Shinya be satisfied with just a mountain iron mine?

He not only wanted to move the iron mine, he also wanted Andong Province and even the entire three northern provinces.

"Your Excellency, Governor General, isn't it a bit inappropriate that we haven't informed the headquarters and His Majesty the Emperor about this matter?"

Just after Hatoyama Shinya excitedly explained his plan to attack the three northern provinces to a group of generals and officers, a colonel-level officer asked hesitantly.

Hatoyama Shinya snorted coldly and said, "This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for our Fuso Empire.

If we report this to headquarters, do you think those controlling factions will just sit there and watch us take away this tremendous credit?

They will only make excuses to delay, causing us to miss this great opportunity.

So we must never let the base camp know our plan.

It won't be too late to report to His Majesty the Emperor after we successfully invade Andong Province."

After hearing Hatoyama Shinya's answer, no one raised any objections. Instead, they were all eager to try, their eyes full of anticipation.

For them, this was an action that went down in history.

As long as they succeed, they will all become heroes of the Fuso Empire and rise to prominence from then on.

"Gentlemen, many of you have come into contact with Jiang Yulin.

This bandit has taken more than 300 million yen from us, but he hasn't accomplished anything important for us.

Either keep dragging it out or just not do it at all.

So we should not pin our hopes on him.

If we want something, the most reliable way is to rely on force.

He has cheated us out of all the money, and this time he has to return it all, including the principal and interest."

"Hi!"

This time, the main force of the Saibei Army will be dragged near Yumen Pass, and the garrison left in Andong Province will be at most tens of thousands of people.

This time, Hatoyama Shinya is preparing to dispatch at least two divisions plus several independent detachments and air forces. He does not think that the Saibei Army will be a match for their Fuso warriors.

Jiang Yulin did not expect that the Fuso people would be so bold at this moment. He still underestimated the Fuso people's covetousness for the ancient country's land.

Faced with undercurrents in various places, the Military Intelligence Bureau of the General Staff of the Renaissance Army, which is expanding wildly, has also noticed it.

Although the northern intelligence network built by Zheng Yaoxian was only a short time old, the results were amazing.

They even got photos of the letters Yuan Shicheng sent to Fu Changqing.

When Jiang Hua saw the content above, he smiled coldly.

"It seems that Yuan Shicheng has arranged everything, and we are almost done too."

Now Jiang Hua has used all his funds to build up his army, just for this battle.

Jiang Hua once again added two divisions and one brigade to the First Army Corps.

Among them, the 100rd Division, as a garrison division, was adjusted to become the th Light Infantry Division.

The 3rd Division's number was retained and inherited by a newly formed motorized infantry division.

With the addition of one division, the First Corps now has the strength of five divisions.

Another division was also incorporated into the First Corps, but it was directly under the First Corps.

This unit is the 8th Mountain Infantry Division.

A mountain infantry division is a division-level unit specially organized for mountain warfare.

They did not have any mechanized equipment, not even large-caliber heavy artillery.

The maximum caliber of the artillery it is equipped with is only 75 mm, which is the American-made M1 75 mm mountain howitzer.

There were not many vehicles attached, and most of them were pack horses.

This is a purely lightly armed mule and horse unit.

However, the 8th Mountain Infantry Division also has a unique direct battalion-level unit.

What makes this battalion-level unit unique is that they are equipped with very special weapons, which are two types of helicopters.

Both helicopters belong to the Red Alert base unit.

The first helicopter is a light armed reconnaissance helicopter called the Double Blade Light Helicopter.

The second one is a light transport helicopter called the Nighthawk transport helicopter.

Technically speaking, these two helicopters date back to around the end of World War II, and the engines they use are still piston engines.

So the performance is not very strong.

For example, the double-blade light armed reconnaissance helicopter looks very simple, with a maximum flight speed of 160 kilometers per hour, a maximum range of 400 kilometers, and only two 7.92mm caliber machine guns.

So it can only be used for some reconnaissance work.

But it can also be used to transport some things.

At least there is no problem in lifting a 57mm anti-tank gun.

As for the 75mm caliber mountain gun, it is not suitable because its weight exceeds 600 kilograms, reaching 653 kilograms.

Fortunately, this mountain cannon can be disassembled into multiple parts and is very easy to assemble, so it can be disassembled and transported.

As for the Nighthawk helicopter, as a professional transport helicopter, its performance is also good.

Its appearance already bears the shadow of a modern transport helicopter.

Equipped with a 1750 horsepower air-cooled radial 14-cylinder engine.

The cargo hold has a rear hatch and a side hatch, and can carry up to 11 soldiers. It can load 1.5 tons of cargo and transport 1.3 tons of cargo at the same time.

The American 75mm mountain gun can be easily hoisted.

Although these two helicopters cannot allow the army to fly with wings, they can already do a lot of things.

At least it can be used for reconnaissance, loading things, and transporting the wounded without any problems.

The mountain infantry division's equipping of these two helicopters is also a pilot project.

If feasible, an independent brigade-level helicopter unit will be established to assist the Army in combat.

This mountain infantry division was also specially organized for the mountainous terrain of Jinyuan Province.

From this we can also see Jiang Hua's determination to eliminate Fu Changqing this time.

The other brigade-level unit is also a special unit.

The full name of this unit is Airborne Brigade, also known as Paratrooper Brigade.

The entire brigade consists of three parachute battalions, one airborne battalion, one artillery battalion, and one tank battalion.

The parachute battalion is easy to understand. It is about jumping from transport planes and conducting parachute operations.

The airdrop battalion is different. They ride on various types of gliders.

Both the artillery battalion and the tank battalion landed on heavy gliders.

The artillery battalion is equipped with the same 75mm American mountain gun as the mountain infantry division.

As for the tanks, they were equipped with M22 Cicada tanks specially built for airborne operations.

Although this tank has a bad reputation and its reliability is not high, it is definitely a thin skin with a big filling.

But that was relative to the Western battlefield at that time.

The anti-tank firepower of various countries at that time was so strong, how could a 7-ton airborne tank withstand it?

But the ancient country is different. Although it is only 7 tons, it is almost the same as a small bean.

But so what? For the warlord troops lacking anti-tank weapons, it is still an iron turtle.

Moreover, its lightweight body makes it more flexible and can pass through most bridges and areas.

Unlike tanks weighing more than 10 tons, they can only travel on main roads and large bridges, which greatly limits their mobility.

This is also the reason why Jiang Hua has never equipped the First Corps with a mechanized infantry division, and has equipped the infantry regiment with infantry artillery.

This is because the tanks and artillery cannons are too heavy and sometimes they may not be able to keep up with the front-line troops.

When the artillery unit cannot keep up with the pace, at least the regimental infantry artillery can provide fire support.

As a strategic military force, the airborne troops can play a significant role at critical moments.

So when he had enough funds, he set up the airborne troops.

Airborne troops don't require much money because they have very little heavy equipment.

The planes are what are really expensive.

The main ones are C-47 and C-54.

These are also the two main transport aircraft equipped by the Air Force Transport Aviation Brigade.

Among them, the C-54 transport aircraft is currently a heavy transport aircraft.

As a four-engine long-range military transport aircraft, it has an ultra-long range of 6200 kilometers and a maximum internal payload of 14.7 tons, or can carry 48 airborne troops.

Although this performance is not as good as that of post-war heavy transport aircraft, it is already quite amazing in this era.

You have to know that at that time, the United States had not even developed the DC-3.

The C-47 military transport aircraft is the military version of the DC-3 passenger aircraft.

The General Staff has already made a complete plan for this operation.

When the Northern Frontier and the Southern Alliance started fighting, that was when Jiang Hua took action.

The operation was carried out on two sides.

After the war broke out, the First Legion quickly captured Yanbei and Guiyuan provinces, and then concentrated its forces to attack Jinyuan, and fought a decisive battle with Fu Changqing's Jinyuan Army in Jinyuan Province.

However, Beire needs to leave two divisions of troops behind.

One of the divisions was stationed at the various passes of the ancient city to defend against the northern border army.

There is also the 100th Light Infantry Division responsible for garrisoning throughout the province.

Therefore, the army attacking Jinyuan only has the strength of four divisions, and it may be necessary to disperse the troops during this period to guard against other forces causing trouble.

But in Jiang Hua's opinion, this force is enough.

What's more, he will continue to increase the number of troops and strengthen the strength of the First Legion.

The mission of the Second Legion is to capture Qidong Province, and this battle is also very critical.

On the Longhe defense line, the troops from the northern border gathered together, which also touched the hearts of people all over the world.

At this time, the fighting finally broke out in the south.

Hundreds of thousands of troops from the Southern Alliance launched a general offensive against the Liangling area.

This news also swept the world in a short time.

Anyone with a discerning eye knew that a massive war was about to break out in the ancient country.

After the fighting broke out in the south, Yuan Shicheng, Jiang Yulin and even Hatoyama Shinya, who all had their own ulterior motives, knew that their chance had come.
