Chapter 360: Sunrise in the Golden Mountain (Finale)

Previous Chapter

The rate of fire of the super-heavy gun is really not high, and it is only four rounds per minute.

But nearly 100 heavy artillery shelled at the same time, and the power was a little scary, like Mars hitting the earth, it was a completely apocalyptic scene, only to see the boiling and blazing hellfire, which had the potential to destroy the world.

The waves of air that rushed into the sky pulled blood, wreckage, human bodies, and other debris up to a height of nearly 100 meters, stirring up the fog in the early hours of the morning.

The actual lethality of super heavy artillery groups is often secondary, and each round of shelling does not kill many people.

But the huge momentum that devoured the sky and the earth, as well as the trembling like a nine-magnitude earthquake, made the Japanese army disheartened as if they were dead, not only were their minds robbed, but they also had no way to retreat, so they had to hold their heads, tighten their bodies, and quietly wait for the angel of death to come down from the sky.

However, what is even more terrifying is that the super heavy artillery group seems to have eyes, from Quangongting and Jinsi Niang Bridge to Caojing Town and the east side of Jinshanwei, the firing range is from near to far, and the angle of the shelling is adjusted in turn, and the process is like flowing water, destroying three or four landing sites one by one.

The experience of thinking that you would be able to dodge shells by lying in a crater on the ground is completely invalid here.

One is that the density of the shells is too large, and the other is that the shells are specially designed to be hit in places with a large number of people.

Time flies like a white horse.

The focus of the artillery bombardment of the super heavy artillery group began to shift from the shallow water area to the land area, and the tens of thousands of Japanese troops who had already landed suddenly felt that the time had become unusually long, and the east, which had clearly turned slightly white, suddenly became dark again, and in the feeling, it seemed that every minute was as long as a year.

They curled up tightly on the ground, their mouths as wide as possible, trying not to let the infrasonic shatter their internal organs, and if they were really hit directly by the shell, they had to consider themselves unlucky, and they became gods in an instant.

The surviving Japanese ships were not far away.

When Vice Admiral Toyoda, commander of the Japanese Fourth Fleet, was tentatively shocked and inspected his troops on the flagship cruiser Ashigara, he found that out of more than 30 warships, only seven or eight relatively fast naval warships remained, and the more than 10 10,000-ton transport ships escorted had long since been completely wiped out.

Not only that, but even the 50,000 or 60,000 troops that landed were only a few thousand left.

Lieutenant General Toyoda also received a bad news, a news that made him almost commit suicide by caesarean section, because the romantic Prince Hatohiko of Asaka Palace did not escape from the landing site.

This guy really wanted to rush into the landing sea again and rescue His Royal Highness, but his reason told him that this was an extremely stupid act, and it would lead to the destruction of the seven or eight surviving ships in this strange land, which was the greatest shame.

Commander Toyota had no choice but to decide to apologize afterwards.

Hatohiko of Asaka Palace, who is not the brother of Emperor Meiji, is it so important?

Hatohiko is the eighth son of Prince Asahhiko of Kurenomiya, simply put, the son of an old Japanese cola, with pure Japanese imperial blood.

In 1910, he married the daughter of Emperor Meiji, Prince Yoshikonai of Fuminomiya, so even the reigning Emperor Showa had to call him an uncle, and not only that, but he also served as the head of the Guards Division, so he also had some prestige among the Japanese army.

In December 1937, Hatohiko succeeded Matsui Ishine and became the commander of the Shanghai Dispatch Army, but during the Battle of Nanjing, he issued an order to "kill all the captured personnel".

This order led to the horrific Nanjing Massacre, and later during the Tokyo Trial, he actually escaped hanging, and the punishment of the Japanese imperial family was to remove him from his imperial status forever.

But when it comes to Prince Hatohiko, he is also one of the devils that Liu Yicheng wants to kill the most, since he learned that this guy is the commander of the 11th Army of the Japanese Army and is about to land in Jinshanwei, he has been thinking about how to kill this thing, so he hurriedly airlifted fifty ant robots from the base in western Sichuan.

Major General Liu personally led the Ant Corps to build heavy artillery positions day and night in the Jiulong Mountains, west of Jinshanwei in Hangzhou Bay and along the coastline of twenty or thirty kilometers.

Fortunately, his good wife Kong Yuling has not forgotten his original instructions.

Miss Kong not only made her cousin Zhang Boyu immediately transferred from Hanzhong, Shaanxi to Jiaxing through the power of the Kong family, but also became the magistrate of Jiaxing County, and concurrently served as the commander of the county's militia group, and secretly enclosed the Jiulong Mountain area as the territory of the Kong family, and hid thousands of tons of imported steel in it for Commander Liu to use it one day.

Liu Yun relied on his "foresight" and all kinds of secret hands laid out in advance, and now they have finally all been realized.

This guy plans to use super heavy artillery groups to snipe the Japanese amphibious landing.

The 59.9-level ant robot can mine or process 2.78 kilograms per second, and there are more than 50 ants processing together, and the progress of various projects can be called fast, anyway, Commander Liu did not plan to build a fortress that "will never fall", so that the secret heavy artillery position was quickly built.

As for the processing of heavy artillery and shells, it was put to the end.

Let fifty ant robots process a 182 mm caliber heavy cannon, usually only takes ten minutes, even if you add a large number of air compression shells, the entire processing process only takes one day, showing the powerful attributes of alien technology.

On November 13, when Lao Jiang announced the "Letter to All Shanghai Compatriots" to the world, Liu Yun's Jiulongshan Heavy Artillery Base was basically completed.

In the karst caves of Jiulong Mountain, this group built a total of five or six secret warehouses and seven artillery positions, which could theoretically accommodate nearly 100 heavy guns.

Due to the preparation of only thousands of tons of steel, only 28 heavy guns and more than 20,000 special shells were manufactured, and because of the limited number of ant robots, even if more heavy artillery was produced, there would not be enough "qualified artillery".

Liu Yicheng has also been careful, even if he will be intensive and co-ordinated, waiting for a 182mm heavy gun, at least two ant robots are needed, one must be connected to the intelligent brain in order to aiming, loading and launching in time, and the other acts as a "transport personnel".

When heavy artillery carries out high-intensity sustained shelling, the demand for shells is very high.

Fortunately, the "Ant" was a natural champion of weight, and on average, every minute, enough to carry more than a dozen large-caliber shells weighing 102 kg.

However, there are only 50 ants in the ant army in place, and even if you add the ants in the phantom mecha, there are only 56, so you can only control a maximum of 28 heavy guns, which just gives full play to the power of the 182 mm heavy cannon and the auxiliary nature of the "ant artillery".

In order to make up for the lack of heavy artillery, Major General Liu had an idea and thought of "three bullets hitting the ground at the same time."

It must be said that this is a kind of "heartless" artillery technique.

To put it simply, it is to let a cannon fire three shells one after another, but these three shells must fall into a designated area at the same time (the error is less than 3 seconds) to form a threefold killing effect.

The firing direction and angle of the cannon are generally calculated by the artillerymen in advance, when the first shell is excited, due to the angle and dosing problems, it must have a certain flight time in the air, so just take this time to reissue one, if the situation allows, the second one can be reissued.

Of course, only those cannons with a long range can do this, and in the best case, three shells hit the ground at the same time, so that one heavy cannon can be used as three heavy guns.

Take a 182-mm heavy gun as an example, its normal firing range is up to more than 30 km, and a special shell of this caliber has a dead weight of 102 kg and an exit muzzle velocity of 935 m / s.

Theoretically speaking, after the shell is excited, it only takes 32 seconds to reach the target, but when the shell is flying, it is often affected by air resistance and its own gravity, and the flight trajectory is parabolic, its apex is nearly 10,000 meters in the air, and the flight speed shows a tendency to decelerate rapidly.

As a result, the actual time for this type of shell to actually reach the target usually takes more than 50 seconds, or even more.

However, according to the records on the test firing table of each cannon, there is not only one way to shoot if you want to hit a specific area, but with the amount of charge and the adjustment of the muzzle angle, you can find a variety of firing methods, and with the difference in these details, there will be differences in the time of the shell, some take 1 minute 03 seconds, some take 48 seconds.

There are even differences in the firing skills of some shells, resulting in only 1-2 seconds between the flight of the shells.

However, the rate of fire of the 182-mm heavy gun is still good, and when controlled by the ant robot, it is as high as 6-8 rounds per minute, and the firing interval is 7-8 seconds, which provides the possibility of "three shells landing on the ground at the same time".

Of course, the simultaneous landing of three shells was originally an idealized artillery technique.

If you want to do this, you must not only accurately calculate the amount of charge, azimuth angle, and reload frequency, but also often the larger the caliber of the fire, the lower the rate of fire, it is impossible to achieve three shells landing at the same time, if the caliber of the artillery fire is small, the rate of fire can keep up, but unfortunately the air time of the shell is short, and in the end it is still in vain, the difficulty of the skill can be imagined.

But for Major General Liu, these troubles are not a problem, because he has black technology - smart brain in hand, calculating the firing angle of more than 20 heavy guns, as well as the amount of additional propellant, can be done within 0.01 seconds.

What's more, he still has more than fifty - intimate ant robots in hand, as long as the target or area to be attacked is determined, he doesn't have to worry about the rest.

When the brain of wisdom, ant robots, and 182 mm heavy artillery, completely integrated, there was a chemical reaction, the original rate of fire of 6-8 rounds per minute of heavy artillery, actually played 12 rounds per minute, this is the rate of fire of 105 mm mountain guns, combined with the "three bullets at the same time" shooting skills, is really no less than the effect of hundreds of heavy guns set fire.

Hatohiko Asakanomiya and Jio Kasawara believed that "super heavy artillery had a faster rate of fire (4 rounds per minute)", which was completely a subjective conjecture, and they did not know this secret until after the end of World War II, when time had long passed.

In the early morning of November 14, a new morning sun finally rose.

The rising sun slowly clears all kinds of fog and darkness, especially the Jinshanwei of Hangzhou Bay, which has left countless legends, is ushering in a new day, the sun will be not far from the coast of the three golden mountains, it is the slightest bit of illumination, and the smoke is like a fairyland on earth.

Fortunately, the super heavy artillery group on Jiulong Mountain also gradually stopped roaring, allowing the surviving Japanese troops to survive.

In the more than an hour before dawn, the 182-millimeter heavy artillery group located in Jiulong Mountain fired a total of 15,000 shells, leaving more than 30 Japanese warships in the sea and blocking tens of thousands of Japanese troops in the landing area.

When Division Commander Hu Lian and Division Commander Chen Guangzhong led their troops to Jinshanwei to resist the Japanese landing, they only saw a piece of burning blood, half of which was flames and half of which was blood.

Although Chen Guangzhong's 63rd Division was elite, it was a pure ordinary infantry division.

The 201st Division led by Hu Lian was the product of a complete "serious detachment from the masses", although there were only more than 10,000 people, but there were more than 200 tanks and armored vehicles, even if most of them were German tanks of type I and II, but they were not things that flesh and blood could resist.

The Japanese troops who had just left purgatory had no choice but to surrender one after another.

What made Division Commander Hu and Division Commander Chen the most depressed was that these Japanese soldiers seemed to be a little delirious, even if someone coughed, they would immediately lie on the ground and wait for death.

They briefly interrogated and found that these "waste people" were really the elite of the Japanese army.

However, the information on Nanjing was erroneous, and in the formation of the 11th Army of the Japanese Army, there were no 14th and 20th Divisions at all.

The army was a chaotic motley unit with the 15th Division as the core, the Kunisaki Noboru Detachment of the Fifth Division, the Ushijima Manchu Detachment of the 6th Division, the Taiwan Infantry Brigade, the 1st Reserve Infantry Regiment, the 1st Brigade of the puppet Jing'an Army, the puppet Li Chunshan Brigade, and the puppet Yuzhishan Brigade.

The ambitious Jinshanwei landing operation turned out to be like this, not only did the Nanjing Zhugong not expect, but also the Japanese army base camp.

When the Japanese military headquarters first received the front-line battle report, they also deliberately looked at the calendar, seriously suspecting that it was "April Fool's Day", and the Songhu battlefield, which was in full swing, also suddenly cooled down, and the commanders on both sides needed time to digest this very abrupt news.

From then on, the Japanese army never mentioned the landing of Jinshanwei again.

Even if it was occasionally mentioned afterwards, the Japanese army would talk about it secretively, and even pretend to have amnesia, denying that there had been such a landing operation, and the Chinese army was reluctant to mention it, because they did not know who the hero did in this shelling, and in the end it could only be attributed to God's curse.

When the Japanese army wanted to extradite more than 10,000 prisoners of war to return to China through secret channels, they found that more than 60,000 troops at the time of departure only found more than 20,000 people, and the rest were estimated to have been shot one by one.

The bad news was sent back to Tokyo, Japan.

Emperor Showa, who was eating breakfast, as soon as he saw the battle report from the front, his eyes suddenly became round, and he almost choked to death by milk, and after he calmed down, he immediately went to Ise Jingu to pay homage, kneeling and asking Amaterasu for guidance, to be honest, he himself suspected that he had been punished by God.

It wasn't until the sun gradually went west that the oracle came out from Ise Jingu, and the oracle was written on a jade plate, and the jade plate was as simple as new, and with it, there was even a jade sword.

A group of priests were afraid of disrespecting the emperor, so the chief priest personally read out the oracle, "The name of this sword is called the old sword, the so-called old sword at first sight, the old sword is deep, and the homeland is difficult to give up, which means like an enemy but not an enemy."

"Seemingly an enemy but not an enemy" is really far-reaching.

The meaning is simple and clear, "The Sino-Japanese war should be over."

The Japanese emperor only felt that it was dark in front of him, as if the whole world was collapsing, and he was originally staring at China's gaze, and shifted to the southeast in a daze, could it be that his most heroic imperial army really wanted to give up the fertile land of Shenzhou, turn to Southeast Asia or Australia, and challenge Britain and the United States and other European and American powers.
