On the coastline of Monrovia, the battlefield that stretches for more than ten kilometers is filled with gunsmoke.

With the support of powerful naval and air artillery, the attacks of the Imperial Chinese Marines were victorious, and when it was time to establish a strong beachhead on the coast, the Germans had to resort to the last killer move.

Among the destroyed German battleships, the gas tank valves were quietly opened, and some of them emerged from half of the chimneys, while others slowly erupted from hidden holes near the coastline of more than a dozen kilometers along pipes buried deep under the beach in advance.

The entire coastline was filled with gunsmoke, and the sky was dark, obscuring the color of the poison gas.

The soldiers of the Chinese Imperial Army, who were attacking in a rhythmic manner, were caught off guard and fell down one after another.

"Medic!"

"Not good! It's poison gas! ”

"Everyone immediately put on gas masks!"

The well-trained soldiers of the Imperial Chinese Army quickly judged that the Germans had released poison gas and immediately took effective measures to prevent poison.

Tirpitz, the plotter in the distance, was about to enjoy a feast of poisoning, only to find that he had just poisoned a few soldiers of the Imperial Chinese Army, and he was immediately recognized.

This shocked Tirpitz, who couldn't figure out why the soldiers of the Chinese Imperial Army had such a strong sense of anti-poison.

Of course, Tirpitz didn't know that the strength of the Chinese Empire was not only the world's most powerful economic power, but also the world's most powerful military strength, and the fundamental thing that could make the Chinese Empire so powerful was education.

By the beginning of the twentieth century, the great economic power of the Chinese Empire ensured that its national education system had spread to universities. As early as the eve of the World War, the military recruitment of the Imperial Chinese Army was already aimed at junior high school graduates.

During the world war, the Chinese Empire was able to invest fighter planes, tanks, and other modern equipment for the first time, and the prerequisite was that the cultural quality of the army was generally improved, and there was no illiteracy, that is, the soldiers with primary school education had reached 100 percent, the initial Chinese accounted for 60 percent, and the level of college and secondary school was also as high as 20 percent.

During the World War, the cultural penetration rate of American soldiers was less than one-third of that of the Chinese Imperial Army, and the cultural penetration rate of German soldiers was only one-half of that of the Chinese Imperial Army.

Today, the recruitment conditions of the Chinese Imperial Shence Army have been further improved, and the minimum is Chinese, and the proportion of college and secondary school students accounts for 50% of the total strength of the army.

What a terrible number!

Other countries simply can't do this, because only the Chinese Empire is implementing a universal compulsory military service system, and one of the laws is that all students who complete their studies must serve in the military for two to three years, otherwise they will not graduate, will not be recommended for work, and will not be granted citizenship of the Chinese Empire. The phenomenon of military service evasion for various reasons is not allowed in the Chinese Empire, and even the princes and princesses of the empire must serve in the military, let alone the common people.

This gave the people of the Chinese Empire a stronger physique (being a soldier to exercise their bodies), a stronger ability to unite (they were all comrades-in-arms who were born and died together), and a higher national cohesion (they were all brothers and sisters of the same sect).

In addition, under the compulsory education system of colleges and secondary schools, the cultural knowledge of soldiers is high, so it can be quickly judged that the German army is using poison gas.

If the same thing happened to the German army, I am afraid that more than half of the German army would not recognize the poison gas, let alone realize that it was poison gas, and in the case of the same poison gas raid, more than half of the people killed in the battle would definitely be killed.

It was thought that launching a poison gas attack by surprise would cause heavy casualties to the Chinese Imperial Army, but Tirpitz was greatly disappointed.

However, the ground offensive of the Imperial Chinese Marines weakened rapidly, because the Germans released poison gas, and although the soldiers of the Imperial Chinese Army quickly put on gas masks, they were all educated and knew very well that ordinary gas masks could only protect against ordinary gas, and they would not attack rashly if they were not sure of the damage level of German gas.

At the same time, the soldiers of the Imperial Chinese Army wearing gas masks were also very difficult to fight, and their breathing and vision were affected.

In this case, the base camp of the rear fleet quickly gave the order to suspend the offensive.

"Hemp eggs! These little German devils are so shameless that they dare to use poison gas on us! ”

"Investigate the gas composition immediately and prepare for it!"

"Also, find me the source of the poison gas!"

Lin Yongsheng was so angry that he walked back and forth on the bridge and scolded.

Soon, the German poison gas was found to be just ordinary chlorine gas.

The location of the gas release was also found, and it was the German battleships that had been blown up all over the holes, and a large number of gas canisters were hidden inside.

"Fire!"

The fleet's artillery fire was angled, and the fire was concentrated on the grounded German wrecked battleship, which was blown into piles of scrap metal in an instant.

It took more than half an hour for the poison gas to be blown away by the wind.

"Attack!"

Without the threat of poison gas, the Imperial Chinese Marines attacked again.

Although the Chinese Imperial Army retreated and suspended the offensive for more than half an hour just now, it was also a clever strategy to retreat and advance, because in this half an hour, more T30 main battle tanks and 88 combat vehicles went ashore, and there was also an artillery regiment of the Marine Corps behind it, and the 155mm heavy howitzer was definitely more powerful than the 100 kilograms of aerial bombs dropped by the F18 fighters.

Artillery regiments opened fire, tanks and tanks cleared the way, and the Marine Corps of the Chinese Empire, which had renewed its attack, became stronger.

Tirpitz in the Bunker sighed helplessly, the gas defense line was gone, and he was left with only one last resort.

Decisive battle!

Counter-charge, to be exact!

A large number of German infantry came out of the tunnels and, under the cover of tanks, counterattacked the coastline.

These tanks were deployed in the direction of the coastline, and there were more than a hundred Leopard tanks, which had been hiding in underground tunnels, and they had to be driven out at the moment, because in the fortress attack and defense battle, the tanks could not play, and the battle for the coastline in front of them was the only place where the German Leopard tanks could play a role.

Tirpitz picked up the phone anyway and spoke to Schri.

"General Schripen, I ask to use our killer weapon immediately!"

Shi Lifen's shocked and angry voice came from there: "How long has it been since you couldn't hold on?" What about your rhetoric? I don't agree with the use of the killer weapon, that is our last counterattack force, and I will never use it until the critical moment! ”

Tirpitz stiffened his head and said: "Your Excellency, General, if you lose the coastal defense line, the fortress defense will be too passive, and when the time comes, the Chinese Imperial Army will casually put a few artillery divisions on the ground, which will be enough to break the fighting spirit of the imperial soldiers." We have to wipe them out of the shoreline and let their carcasses feed the fish. ”

Just then, the telephone line suddenly broke, much to Tirpitz's shock. You must know that this telephone line is obviously buried in the tunnel, how can it be broken.

Soon, Tirpitz understood, he hurried to the exit, looked up at the sky, and was instantly stupefied by the dense group of bombers.

The bomber group of the Imperial Chinese Air Force finally arrived belatedly, and one after another 200-kilogram aerial bombed eggs smashed into the fortress of Monrovia. It was much more powerful than the 100-kilogram channel used by the German bomber group last time, and it was dropped from a height of two or three thousand meters, and the aerial bomb under the acceleration of gravity was enough to smash through the German fortress and then explode inside.

The interruption of the call just now was also due to an aerial bomb that smashed through the tunnel and blew up the telephone lines in the tunnel.

"How is this possible?"

Tirpitz looked up at the sky, confused. He was under the impression that German bombers could drop bombs at an altitude of 1,000 meters at most, and the maximum was no more than 1,500 meters, because the higher the distance, the higher the performance and technical indicators of the bombs, and the higher the cost.

However, the bombers of the Chinese Empire actually dropped bombs at an altitude of two or three thousand meters, and this level of technology alone threw off more than a dozen streets in Germany.

It's all two shoulders against one head, why is the gap so big!

Tirpitz said he didn't understand, but he didn't have time to understand, he had just given the order for a decisive battle with the Chinese Imperial Army, and a large number of German soldiers had already been dispatched, and at this moment they were facing the sad situation of being fried alive by the Chinese Imperial bombers.

"Come back! All back! ”

Tirpitz couldn't care about it, this Nima didn't call all the troops back, I was afraid that the whole army would be wiped out in minutes.

The German soldiers were not stupid, they ran back as soon as they saw that the bombers of the Chinese Empire were throwing bombers all over the sky, and they did not need Tirpitz to order a retreat.

However, the Germans who were far away were miserable, and before they could run halfway, they were fried alive and suffered heavy casualties.

And the nearly 100 German Leopard tanks are even more tragic, as long as they are hit by any 200-kilogram aviation bomb egg, they will inevitably be properly turned into a lump of scrap metal. Even if they were not hit, the violent blast wave overturned many Leopard tanks.

Once the bombardment was over, even if some of the Leopard tanks escaped for their lives, they were faced by the rapidly approaching T30 tanks and 88 tanks of the Imperial Chinese Army.

In particular, the 88 tank, which is a professional anti-tank combat vehicle, a Guanghua 23-year 37-mm assault rapid-fire gun, suddenly burst, high-kinetic armor-piercing blasting shells instantly penetrate the armor of the Leopard tank, and blow up dozens of tons of tanks.

This is a one-sided massacre, entering the modern Chinese Imperial Shence Army, teaching the German army to be a new man in minutes.

Tirpitz's eyes were glazed, he couldn't imagine that the powerful German army in his impression would be so vulnerable in the face of the Chinese Imperial Shence Army.

You can't blame the German army for not being strong, it's really special that the Chinese Imperial Shence Army is too strong.

The entire fortress of Monrovia was in flames, the above-ground buildings had been completely destroyed, and many underground fortifications had been severely damaged.

Fortunately, the bomber group of the Imperial Chinese Air Force is far away, and it takes a lot of time to go back and forth, otherwise Shi Lifen would have wanted to raise his hand and surrender, this is really not a war that normal people can endure, it is simply fighting the devil in hell, whether it is physical or mental, they are abused to the point that they don't want to.

Even Schrijen felt the gap, which made him realize that he had made a mistake, and if he had listened to Tirpitz from the beginning, retreated the main German army, and abandoned Monrovia, I am afraid that the casualties and losses would not have been so great.

Now Shi Lifen had to admit that he had to be prepared to retreat his main forces back into the mountains and play hide-and-seek guerrilla warfare with the Chinese Imperial Army.

The entire fortress of Monrovia was attacked by the Chinese Imperial Army, Navy and Air Force, and the German army suffered heavy casualties, and the losses were even heavier, which finally forced Schliefen to decide to transfer the main force to the inland mountainous area, because it was far from the coastline, and there was no need to worry about being hit by the powerful naval artillery fire of the Chinese Imperial Navy.

Of course, it is impossible for Schriep to give up the fortress of Monrovia easily, at least for a while.

However, soon a piece of news came, which instantly frightened Shi Lifen.

"Report, the Chinese Imperial Army has broken through the defense line of the Bomi River!"

"What? Perot that bastard, I'm going to shoot him! ”

Schrie was so angry that he had sent all the fighters of Fort Tubmanburg to the fortress of Monrovia for air battle, so he had to strengthen the vigilance of the defense line of the Bomi River, for which he specially sent Governor Perrault to supervise it.

Now that the defense line of the Bomi River has been broken by the Chinese Imperial Army, it means that the German army's retreat from Monrovia to the interior may be cut off by the Chinese Imperial Army.

Once that happens, the main German army will be surrounded by the Chinese Imperial Army, and the consequences will be unimaginable.

"Damn, tell me, how did the Imperial Chinese Army break through the defense line of the Bomi River?"

Shi Lifen couldn't figure it out, even if the Chinese Imperial Army attacked the defense line on the east bank of the Bomi River, it would not be possible to break through so quickly, after all, there were nearly 40,000 German troops defending, relying on the surging Bomi River, it was lost in less than half a day.

In fact, from the very beginning, Shi Lifen made a strategic misjudgment, he thought that the Chinese Imperial Army would launch the main attack from the sea, but was deceived by strategy, in fact, Li Yuanhong's strategy was to launch the main force from the land, force the Bomi River to cross the natural danger, and cut off the retreat of the main German army.

For this reason, Li Yuanhong even transferred Feng Guozhang's special forces back, secretly infiltrated the east bank of the Bomi River, and then cooperated with the main force of the Shence Army to force the crossing.

Of course, the process is complicated.

In order to confuse Governor Perrault, the commander of the German army on the east bank, Li Yuanhong launched more than a dozen attacks in a row, all of which were tentative attacks, and selected multiple attack locations, so that Governor Perrault could not judge which location the Shence army was going to attack.

This is a typical tactic of attacking the east and the west, but the problem is that Governor Perrault can see Li Yuanhong's strategy.

After all, Governor Perrault is also the founding father of the German Empire, he is corrupt, but it does not mean that he is stupid.

However, the magic height is one foot high, and Li Yuanhong quickly sold Feng Guozhang's special forces.

Li Yuanhong ordered Feng Guozhang to personally lead the special forces to quietly cross the river from the upstream, and sent a force to cooperate with Feng Guozhang to attack the upstream, creating the false impression that the Shence army was preparing to force the crossing upstream.

At first, Governor Perrault was not fooled, and the main force did not move, but as Feng Guozhang deliberately let the Germans capture a few prisoners of the Shence Army and confessed that the most elite special forces were also upstream, Governor Perrault finally believed it, because he knew how important the special forces of the Chinese Empire were, and concluded that the Shence Army must be forced to cross upstream.

So Governor Perrault's main force dispatched and rushed upstream, and Li Yuanhong quickly seized the opportunity and successfully crossed downstream, and when Governor Perrault realized that he had been fooled, the Shence army had quickly built more than a dozen pontoon bridges downstream, and the two armored divisions were in formation, invincible, and quickly broke the German defense line on the east bank of the Bomi River.

Governor Perrault had no choice but to abandon the defensive line on the east bank of the Bomi River and return the main force to Tubmanburg.
