Chapter 179: Terrifying White Phosphorus Bomb
"Good news, good news, the national army annihilated 300,000 people."
"Outside the number, outside the number, it is said that Kou was defeated and was annihilated by 300,000 ...... For details, please see the follow-up report of "News......"
On the street, another good news came back, the East China Army was on the front line, but it had just won the Western Front, and it was printed in less than an hour.
Keep printing and sending it, all for free.
At this time, the people of all provinces in China were still immersed in the joy of the great victory of the air force the day before yesterday, and they did not expect the good news to come so quickly.
The provinces of China are once again in a state of boiling, and this war is not a war in the provinces of East China, but a war for the whole of China, and this is a war of counterattack against which the whole of China is united!
The Hangzhou-based East China media outlets are the most efficient and have set up a distribution network in other provinces of China.
The establishment of this network is conducive to the promotion of the East China Political Axe, so this is what the East China Political Axe has been supporting for several years before.
It is precisely because of the existence of this network that basically as soon as the news of the good news came back, the newspapers issued additional issues in each county in each province of China.
Immediately after that, the newspapers stepped up and frantically printed the newspapers of tomorrow.
Fuxing Bao commented on this good news: "Just as the chairman's wife said, at this time there is nothing that can stop China's advance, and it is said that they will be annihilated in one fell swoop by the united Chinese National Army, and according to the personnel of the General Headquarters, the National Army is confident that it will completely annihilate the Shandong Army within 10 days." ”
The news flew over the mountains, over the oceans, and spread to the rest of the world.
When overseas Chinese received the news, they couldn't help but shed tears.
Victory, China is victorious again!
Since the Sino-Japanese War, China has finally stood up and washed away its shame with victory.
Once the motherland is strong, these people who are drifting in a foreign land will have something to rely on, and they will no longer be bullied and slaughtered as in the past.
In Nanyang, Chinese people from all over the country once again held a warm celebration to celebrate the great victory of Shandong.
The news spread to other countries, and many countries were in disbelief. According to the trend of the European battlefield, China and Yu should have been caught in a war of attrition.
Although the main force of the navy has been destroyed, it is impossible for the army to be so fragile as well, right? Shandong said that there were at least enough reserves, how could it be defeated so quickly?
Moreover, it is said that the army has dug a complete trench in Shandong, which should not be said.
Therefore, those countries that have been studying trench warfare for a long time generally did not believe it after learning this news, thinking that it might be a false result advocated by the axe of the East China Autonomous Government.
The countries obviously did not believe in this result, because it was too fast.
However, as far as the Shandong war situation is concerned, with the destruction of the main ships of the combined fleet, there is not much suspense, only how long the army can hold out in Shandong.
The news of the annihilation of the combined fleet of the East China Air Force in one fell swoop has caused a strong shock in the world, and in particular, the navies of various countries have realized the tremendous superiority of the air force over the sea, which is an innate superiority of the air force over the navy.
The achievements of the East China Air Force have also made countries begin to attach great importance to the development of the Air Force, and the United Kingdom and the United States have begun to develop aircraft carrier technology.
The United States began to develop aircraft carriers for a long time, probably not long after the birth of airplanes, but not much progress has been made, and the take-off and landing of aircraft on deck is still an unsolved problem.
Since the East China Air Force bombed the Third Fleet last year, all countries have become aware of the importance of aircraft, and this year, it is still difficult to escape the bad luck of the aircraft under the many anti-aircraft guns, which has once again confirmed the tremendous superiority of the air against the sea.
The Shandong-China War proved that the air force was a kind of military that could influence the war, and that the failure of the army was largely due to the fact that they did not gain air supremacy.
The lack of air supremacy becomes the absence of sea supremacy, and the lack of sea supremacy is again extended to the consequences of defeat in a land war.
This is the biggest mistake of the book, but the price of their learning is very expensive.
Many newspapers in various countries generally questioned the good news revealed by the East China Political Axe, believing that it was unlikely, after all, it was too contrary to common sense.
Moreover, the remarks of the total annihilation of the army in ten days made all [***] parties and the media laugh at it, and it is really a whimsical Chinese.
However, whether the outside world believes it or not, the war continues, doesn't it?
Since the National Army launched its offensive on 20 November, it took only one day to annihilate more than 250,000 troops on the southern and western fronts.
The collapse of the southern and western fronts of the Chinese army meant that the living space of the Chinese army had been reduced to a narrow area on the eastern front and had been completely surrounded.
The army laid out a new line of defense along the course of the Huangshui River, which had dried up, forming a triangle with the eastern line and the coastline to the north.
This triangle is very small, and the maximum distance is only 16 kilometers, and the artillery of the East China Navy can bomb most of the Chinese army at any time.
The sudden defeat made the army on the Eastern Front still confused, and they did not understand how the southern and western fronts were broken through by the national army.
However, many soldiers still feel the danger of the current situation, and even have a premonition that this is already a prelude to failure.
Nearly 550,000 national troops were repairing at Longkou, and there was no hurry to fight a decisive battle with the army. However, Army Group C went to the front line of the Huangshui River, but it was also five kilometers away from the army.
The army is working overtime to dig trenches on the front line of the Huangshui River, trying to build a strong defense line there to block the advance of the national army.
…… In the Zhaoyuan General Headquarters, Liu Wenhong suggested to Xia Jun: "Chairman of the Committee, now that the army has been compressed by us in this triangle, it can be bombed before the war. ”
Chen Xuanyu said eagerly: "Chairman of the Committee, our secret weapon should be able to be revealed, and now the radio of the army has been completely jammed. ”
"That's right, it's time for our secret weapon to shine out." Zhang Bolan echoed, also looking very excited.
The secret weapon they refer to is the white phosphorus bomb.
White phosphorus bomb, a very terrifying weapon!
The killing area is large and the lethal ability is strong, which is a prohibited weapon in later generations, and it is forbidden to use it internationally, because this kind of weapon is too cruel.
"Then let's start the bombing program!" Xia Jun nodded and approved the implementation of the plan.
Soon the General Headquarters conveyed the order to the East China Navy, the East China Air Force, and Group E Army.
…… On the front line of the Huangshui River, the army is stepping up the excavation of trenches, and at this time, there are still nearly 600,000 people in this triangle, and the entire Shandong army is not more than 800,000 in intelligence, and with the logistics personnel of the army, it is already nearly one million.
Uchiyama Kojiro was trying to contact the Native War Department by radio at this time, but the reality was cruel, and none of their radios were working.
Uchiyama Kojiro understands that the war situation is unfavorable at this time, and perhaps the political axe will redeem the end of the destruction through political means, but this requires the exchange of information.
Due to the unavailability of radio, the Shandong army was unable to send the detailed battle situation back to the mainland at this time.
At this time, Uchiyama Kojiro gradually woke up, and at the beginning of the war, the Great Empire had already entered the calculations of the Shina people.
It's not that the combat effectiveness of the Imperial Army is not good, but that there are too many new weapons for the Chinese people.
The only thing Uchiyama Kojiro can do now is to delay as much time as possible in order to wait for the possible political means of the Masamu to save their fate.
Therefore, hundreds of thousands of soldiers worked overtime to dig trenches along the Huangshui River, striving to dig a relatively complete trench before dawn.
The army's field combat capability in this era is not high, especially for the regular army, field battles are avoided as much as possible.
Not only the Chinese army, but also the East China Army was also avoiding field battles, so the possibility of launching an attack at night was basically none.
Night battles may have a high probability of victory for the East China Army, but the cost was also extremely high.
It is difficult to distinguish between friend and foe at night, except when the moon is very bright, so it is very easy to engage in melee in the field, which is a foolish choice for an army that emphasizes tactics.
However, not starting a night war does not mean that there will be no shelling and bombing at night!
As soon as the order of the General Headquarters of the National War Army was issued, the East China Navy first launched an artillery bombardment on the Yue Army.
White phosphorus bombs are roaring!
The soldiers who were digging a trench suddenly heard a loud bang in the distant sky, and when they looked up, they saw something like fireworks exploding in the sky.
Then, a rain of fire fell from the sky, and the shape was like a large white octopus, and filaments fell from the sky one by one.
Many of the soldiers below thought it might be a flare or something, but they didn't dodge it.
However, when the rain of fire fell from the sky, countless miserable howls suddenly sounded on the positions of the Yue army below, and when I looked at it, I saw a large number of soldiers of the Yue army suddenly falling to the ground and rolling, some of them were on fire, but the strange thing was that their clothes were not burned, and soon these soldiers were burned to death.
This is the first white phosphorus bomb, which is a white phosphorus bomb fired by the 360mm main gun of Shandong, with a killing radius of 400 meters, and all creatures exposed to the land are not spared, and almost all the troops on that position have fallen.
When the soldiers in the position on the side ran over to check the situation, they saw a very terrifying scene.
I saw that the clothes on the bodies of these burned people did not seem to be burned at all, but when you untie the clothes, you will find that most of the skin and even the whole body of these people have been burned or melted, and their faces are painful, and the death is extremely terrifying.
