Chapter 651: Black Apple
Li Yuanhong held back his strength and wanted to beat the so-called organ rocket of the German army to the point that he didn't even recognize his mother.
Isn't it just an organ, extinguished in minutes!
Li Yuanhong swears, it is conceivable that the coaches are so confident, let alone the soldiers below.
For the soldiers of the Chinese Empire, they are fearless, they are always strong, and they teach the enemy to be a new man every minute.
As night fell, the earth was hidden in darkness, and the humming of the sky faded away.
In the dense forest, Governor Perrault quietly popped his head out and looked at the sky.
"Gone, aren't you?"
"Yes, Lord Governor, the reconnaissance plane of the Chinese army flew away!"
"Won't come back?"
"Probably not!"
"Really? Are you sure? ”
"Don't worry, my Lord Governor, they won't be coming back!"
Ahem!
Governor Perrault breathed a sigh of relief, cautiously walked out, and waved his hand.
In the next second, more German troops came out of the dense forest, and they drove Leopard tanks and advanced along the road.
Since the sky was full of reconnaissance planes of the Chinese Empire during the day, the Germans would soon be bombed by the Imperial Chinese Air Force as soon as they emerged.
Therefore, in the daytime battles, the Chinese Imperial Army basically pressed the German army, and the German army was beaten to the point that they could only shrink and shrink, losing one position after another.
The fighters that suddenly dived down from the air, machine gun strafing, and bombing really made the German soldiers miserable, so in the past few days, the German army could only move at night, avoid the planes in the sky, and fight night battles with the Chinese Imperial Army.
Perrault's side was only responsible for the retreat of the main force of the Shiri branch in Monrovia.
The two sides agreed to act tonight, for which Governor Perrault was given the weight of Schriefen for the first time, and Schriefen had been given full command of the German organ rocket troops.
Perrault was very happy about this, but he didn't know how devastated Shi Lifen was when he gave this order on the phone.
Schriepin obviously did not want Governor Perrault to take command of this powerful German Organ Rocket Army, but unfortunately he was trapped in Monrovia at the moment and had to rely on Perrault.
At this moment, the fortress of Monrovia, the flames of war are still burning, this fortress has taken Shi Lifen's hard work, but at this moment it has been ruined by the fierce artillery fire of the Chinese Imperial Army N times, and finally Shi Lifen had to give up.
The Imperial Chinese Marines had broken through the German coastal defensive positions, and under the cover of the T30 main battle tanks and 88 tanks, the infantry was constantly uprooting the outlying strongholds of the German army.
Shi Lifen had to leave a division of troops to cut off, and for Shi Lifen, who loved his soldiers like a son, this was the most painful moment of his life.
Once upon a time, the army of the German Empire was majestic, sweeping across Europe and invincible.
However, when the German Imperial Army met the Chinese Imperial Army, it was a spicy tragedy, suppressed by the Chinese Imperial Army, and bullied with tears.
However, among the Chinese Imperial Army, there are also some evaluations of the German Imperial Army, that is, the strongest first-class army.
The people who don't know about melons still think that this is the Chinese Empire praising the German Imperial Army, but in fact, within the Chinese Imperial Army, the armies of all countries in the world have been ranked. The Ottomans, Spain, etc. were third-rate armies, Britain, France, the United States, Japan, Russia and other countries were second-rate armies, the German Empire was the only first-rate army, and the Chinese Empire was a super-first-rate army.
Therefore, when the Chinese Empire praised the German Imperial Army as a first-class army, it was tantamount to irony, and the German Imperial Army was far inferior to the Chinese Imperial Army, because in the definition of the Chinese Empire, there was a huge generation gap between the super-first-class and the first-class.
In other words, the so-called first, second, and third-rate armies all belong to modern armies, while super-first-class armies refer to modern armies.
The gap between modern and modern times is not a matter of quantity, but a generational gap, a gap of a whole era.
Of course, the actual German Imperial Army, under the subtle influence of Hitler, has begun to embark on the pace of a modern army, but it started later than the Chinese Imperial Army, and in the absence of capital and industrial support, it is only a little worse than the Chinese Imperial Army.
Now on the battlefield in Liberia, the German Imperial Army has actually stepped into the threshold of a super-first-class army with one foot, and they are actually not much behind the Chinese Empire in terms of equipment, and what they lack is just an opportunity.
Defeating the Chinese Imperial Army, even if it is just a draw, then the German Imperial Army will be among the world's first-class level.
However, the price is painful, at least Shi Lifen is very sad at the moment.
"I hope that the Organ Rocket Army can help the German Imperial Army to win back a game, otherwise the rise of the German Empire will become a laughing stock all over the world."
Schrienen looked back at the fortress of Monrovia, and there was a sea of fire in the dark night, which had been burning for three days and three nights, and the battle was so fierce that even the stones had melted.
"We're going to make it!"
Tirpitz echoed that he was in direct contact with Hitler, and of course knew the power of organ rockets, more than a thousand organ rockets were in place, and in a few minutes they could bombard all the Chinese Imperial troops within a few dozen square kilometers.
Shi Li said: "Although I hope that what you said is correct, I still hope that tonight's breakthrough will not be fiercely blocked by the Chinese Imperial Army, if I have a choice, I would rather not collide with the main force of the Chinese Imperial Army, after all, it represents a risk." ”
Prudence is the most basic skill of a commander-in-chief, and Schrie understands the risks involved and avoids a decisive battle with the main forces of the Chinese Imperial Army, which is strategically in line with the fundamental interests of the German Empire, because it will allow the war in Liberia to last longer. On the contrary, if the main force is in a decisive battle, then the outcome is unpredictable, and the variables in this make Shi Lifen dare not gamble easily.
Tirpitz snorted coldly, "But now you don't have a choice, don't you?" ”
"Yes! There is no choice! Shi Lifen suddenly smiled bitterly, because it was his strategic judgment that led to the success of the Chinese Imperial Army in forcibly crossing the Bomi River and cutting off the channel for the retreat of the main German army, so at this moment Shi Lifen had to take the main force out of the decisive battle with the Chinese Imperial Army, only by opening the gap, the main force of the German army could break through.
At this moment, the German army suddenly exclaimed, and the generals such as Schliefen and Tirpitz turned back one after another, looked at the fortress of Monrovia, and suddenly looked confused.
"How is this possible?"
There are two possibilities for the Germans remaining in the Monrovia fortress to successfully defeat the Imperial Chinese Marines and inflict heavy losses on the Imperial Chinese Marines, resulting in the opponent's inability to organize another attack in a short period of time. Second, the Imperial Chinese Marines successfully reached the fortress of Monrovia and started a melee with the Germans, at which time the artillery fire of the Imperial Chinese Navy had to stop, fearing that they would accidentally injure their own people.
It's just that the Imperial Chinese Marines will be repulsed or even hit hard?
The answer is clearly no.
Previously, Schliefen commanded five German divisions in the fortress of Monrovia, barely repelling the fierce attack of the Chinese Imperial Marines, and now there is only one German division left, it is certainly impossible to repel it, and as for the heavy damage, it is even more impossible to happen.
However, if it is the second case, it also makes Schrie Fen puzzled, after all, there is still a division of German troops in the fortress of Monrovia, no matter how strong the Chinese Imperial Marines are, it is impossible to break through the fortress of Monrovia so quickly.
Something must have happened here!
It turned out that three days ago, when Lin Yongsheng commanded the Chinese Imperial Marines to attack the fortress of Monrovia, he was once attacked by German poison gas, causing certain casualties.
For the German army's use of poison gas to attack the soldiers of the Chinese Imperial Army, Lin Yongsheng was furious, he was not a master who was willing to suffer, in the face of the German army's bad behavior, Lin Yongsheng's revenge soon came.
In fact, during the World War, when the Chinese Imperial Shence Army strangled Roosevelt's army in North America, it was attacked by the US military during the last Battle of Death Valley.
That time gave the Chinese Imperial Shence Army a painful lesson.
Since then, the Imperial Chinese military has put poison gas operations on the agenda.
It's just that because the poison gas war is too despicable and cruel, the Chinese Empire, as a dignified heavenly kingdom, is full of kindness, and if the Chinese Empire uses poison gas to fight, it will be scolded.
Therefore, there is an unwritten rule within the Chinese Imperial military, that is, not to use poison gas first.
Only when the enemy frantically uses poison gas on the soldiers or people of the Chinese Empire, then as the Shence Army of the Chinese Empire, it has the right to use poison gas to counterattack, and then the people will not blame and spit, but will support it.
The internal decision of the Chinese Imperial Shence Army will naturally be passed on to the militaries of other countries around the world through various channels, so the militaries of all countries have tacitly regarded it as an unspoken rule and will not easily break this rule.
It's just that Tirpitz commanded the Imperial German Navy quite appropriately, but he lacked the judgment of the global strategic pattern, so when he took the lead in attacking the Imperial Chinese Army with poison gas, he ignored this rule and gave the Imperial Chinese Army an excuse to use poison gas to counterattack.
At this moment, the artillery fire on the fortress of Monrovia gradually stopped, not the German army repelled the Chinese Imperial Army, nor the Chinese Imperial Army attacked the fortress, but the German troops guarding the fortress were attacked by the Chinese Imperial Army with poison gas bombs.
Although there were many wounded in the entire German division, there were still more than 8,000 people who were fighting at work, and they could have relied on the fortifications of the fortress to block the attack of the Chinese Imperial Army, but how could they have delayed until dawn to cover the safe breakthrough of the main German army in Shirifen.
However, when the Imperial Chinese Marines fired a poison gas bomb into the fortress of Monrovia with mortars, tens of thousands of German troops died in less than half an hour.
The poison gas used by Tirpitz was the simplest chlorine gas, while the poison gas bombs used by the Imperial Chinese Army to launch a retaliatory attack were the most serious poison gas, black apples.
The black apple was successfully developed by the biochemical laboratory under the Imperial Academy of Sciences of the Chinese Empire, and later approved by the imperial military, and was manufactured into poison gas shells by the Beiyang Ordnance Group and put into combat use by mortar launches.
Black apple, his scientific name is the famous sarin gas in history, but the first inventor was not a German, so there is no such term sarin, but is called a black apple by the Chinese Imperial military, because the poison gas remains after the apple fragrance, impurities into black crystals, so it was called black apple by the experimenters.
The lethality of black apples is very strong, 100 times the lethality of traditional chlorine gas, and anyone who inhales a little bit of black apple poison gas will die within 1~15 minutes.
The German soldiers on the fortress of Monrovia, they were fighting under artillery fire, the battle at night was not in sight, and there was a lot of gunsmoke, so most of the German troops were completely defenseless and inhaled the black apple gas.
The German soldiers soon had blurred vision, then convulsed, foaming at the mouth, and died within minutes from breathlessness.
Although the German soldiers were far inferior to the soldiers of the Chinese Imperial Army in terms of cultural level, there were also a few highly educated among them, and they immediately took measures after realizing that it was poison gas.
Unfortunately, after the explosion of the poison gas bomb, the concentration of poison gas was high, and most of the German troops were caught off guard and inhaled the poison gas, and only a small number of German soldiers quickly hid in the tunnel and blocked the tunnel, surviving for a long time.
There was a sudden silence on the fortress of Monrovia, because of the presence of black apple poison gas, and the Chinese Imperial Marines suspended their attack and waited outside the poison gas range.
About half an hour later, the soldiers of the Imperial Chinese Army in gas masks began to attack, and they soon rushed to the fortress of Monrovia.
Those German soldiers who hid in the tunnels had a rather tragic end, either suffocated in the tunnels or poisoned by poison gas, and occasionally crawled out with gas masks and were immediately shot, or sprayed with fire oil in search of eternal life.
In the fortress of Monrovia, the soldiers of the Chinese Imperial Army roughly counted the number of corpses of the German army, and immediately judged that the main German army had been transferred.
The news was quickly conveyed to the commander Li Yuanhong through Lin Yongsheng, and Li Yuanhong immediately guessed that Shi Lifen was leading the main German army to break through.
"Order, the carrier-based aircraft of the Walvis Bay Air Force and the aircraft carrier formation immediately take off with bombs!"
"Inform all units that it is the main force of the German army that is breaking through and preparing for a decisive battle!"
At the same time, Schrienen also judged that something had happened to the fortress of Monrovia, but there was no turning back from the bow, he could not have withdrawn, and he did not have much time left, so he immediately ordered the main German forces to abandon the tentative attack and break through directly head-on.
The Germans launched a ferocious offensive, covered by artillery fire, and the Leopard tanks opened the way to cover the infantry charge.
The Chinese Imperial Army was a echelon of troops, and there were not many people at the forefront, which made it easy for the main German army to break through several lines of defense.
