423. Chapter 423: War

Chongming Island is the alluvial sand land at the mouth of the Yangtze River, it is not good to repair permanent fortifications, but it is a good entrance for the invading army, because General Lin's army does not need to hide, so it was selected by General Lin as the front headquarters, and the fleet did not spend much effort to capture Chongming County, which had no defense, and fired the first shot of the invasion of the Qing Dynasty.

The people of the Great Qing Dynasty were indignant, anyway, the armor was so strict, it was impossible not to be angry.

In order to ensure the safety of the general headquarters, the adjacent Haimen and Qidong must be cleared. When General Lin's army came to Qidong, they were dumbfounded and found that the people here had sent a lion dance team to welcome the invaders.

The mayor of the local patriotic town was arrested by the police chief, and his face was bruised, and he seemed to have been severely repaired. A citizen quietly took a picture of the scene with a Leica mobile phone and posted it on the Internet. The Qing Dynasty, which shut down the Internet, was moved by the mayor, and the whole country listed the mayor of Qidong as a national hero and hyped it up.

A newspaper made a different noise, saying that the mayor had done nothing good in bullying men and women before, but the newspaper was shut down the next day after picking quarrels and provoking trouble.

Haimen Town, the closest to Chongming Island, is closer inland than Qidong, only 20 kilometers away from Nantong County, an important city in Jiangsu, so it was valued by the Qing army and immediately sent ground troops to garrison it. The situation here is very different from Qidong, where everyone is very patriotic.

This patriotic feeling was originally very strong, until the invaders blockaded the entire Haimen town with Bluetooth cannons, leaving the local supplies scarce. General Lin is not the Windsor Empire, and he has no financial resources to provide refuge for the enemy's people, so he can only serve the army and the people, and anyone who trespasses on the blockade line will be killed or blown up.

The outpost troops adopted the plan of besieging the city and sending reinforcements, and beat several waves of Nantong troops who came to rescue Haimen Town to the ground, and the soldiers took the opportunity to scatter, robbed the people's clothes, and fled to various parts of Suzhou in disguise for the civilians.

When the Nantong reinforcements set off, everyone was entangled and high-spirited, but as soon as they encountered the attacking old-fashioned gunships, they all broke up instantly under the strafing of the machine guns, and the infantry greeted the gunships, neither mentally nor physically, there was no chance at all, so they could only take the opportunity to escape.

Not long after, even Nantong County itself was besieged by Bluetooth cannons. The people in the county town angrily ignored the law and the armor and rushed to the Internet to question the central government? Where did our fighters go? Why can the Goryeo Stick Army fly around the sky with impunity?

This is, of course, because all the Qing fighters were hiding far away at the request of the Ministry of National Defense, otherwise the war would not have been fought like this. Now it seems that although the Qing Dynasty is a nest, it has always had the power to fight back, and the invaders will be counterattacked on a large scale if they are not careful.

It's just that the people don't understand military affairs. In order to cope with the crisis of public opinion, a spokesman for the Prime Minister's Office said: "We are playing a big game of chess, and we ask the masses who do not know the truth not to talk about the military and disturb the morale of the military, otherwise they will be severely punished." ”

The next target of the invaders, known as the Stick Army by the people of the Qing Dynasty, was the famous military town: Zhenjiang. It was a very fierce battlefield during the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, and to this day, it is still an important town with a large number of garrisons in the Great Qing Kingdom.

After the capture of such a city, the stick army had penetrated nearly 300 kilometers into the Yangtze River, and put the nearby famous cities of Suzhou, Wuxi, Changzhou, Yangzhou, and Nanjing within the range of gliding heavy artillery, posing an extremely serious threat to the economic and military strength of the Qing Dynasty.

At this time, Premier Shen, a politician but not a military strategist, had begun to doubt General Wenfei's strategy, because he was under too much pressure from public opinion. Since the start of the war, I have not even launched a decent air battle, what is this like? The old faces of the ancestors have been disgraced by the authorities.

Again, the stick army is not the Windsor army, and it can't afford to be merciful to the enemy's military and civilians at all, so it can only carry out large-scale bombing of the military towns of the Qing Dynasty, regardless of military and civilian population, to cut off the opponent's energy network, a large number of windmills and water towers have been destroyed by shells, and both the army and the people will all fall into the pain of power and water outages.

The days of losing air supremacy were much more painful than the people of the Qing Dynasty imagined.

Those refugees who ran to the Chinese Federation in time were all smiling, and praised their families and friends every day for their wisdom, otherwise they would now be living like pigs and dogs like the residents of Zhenjiang and Nantong.

General Wen Fei's policy of luring the enemy into the depths of the river is indeed a big problem, these cities in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River are all very important economic centers, and a large number of wealthy people gather here, and even retreat here, which inevitably chills the hearts of the gentry and merchants.

The Qing army obviously underestimated the speed of the current war, and before they had time to formulate a plan to make up for this loophole, General Lin immediately realized that the policy of using the Yangtze River as a knife would be temporarily changed to take the large cities along the Yangtze River in Jiangsu, a hugely important province, first, and cause huge losses to the Qing economy.

Qi Taiyu, the mayor of Tianjin, was the most supportive of General Lin's expedition, because the Humble Administrator's Garden he bought was confiscated by the Qing Dynasty under the pretext of the confrontation between the two major military organizations, and this time he firmly supported General Lin to take Suzhou first. For this reason, he also personally paid a lot of money to the stick army, and he didn't dare to take the money from Tianjin. The case of the nephew of Beijing Mayor Xu who dumped real estate and was invited to coffee by the Independent Commission Against Corruption is still vivid.

Of course, the Suiyuan that Lin Fei bought in Nanjing was also harassed for three days, and it was rumored that the infringement of Suiyuan's private property was the cause of General Lin's all-out attack on the Qing Dynasty.

Suiyuan Hotel is now a global brand, making countless money for Linfeier, if the headquarters Suiyuan is bullied, her overall brand image will be affected, in fact, it is not a small incident. The local governments of the Great Qing Dynasty always thought that these were trivial matters, especially under the democratic system, the local governments were influenced by public opinion, completely ignoring the overall military, political and diplomatic situation of the country, and the central government could not do anything about them.

Democracy and the sanctity of private property are two different things, and the Qing Dynasty after democracy still did not learn the most important core value of capitalism, property rights protection, and always thought that with power there was a qiē, and this stubborn disease was inevitably tied to the will of the people.

Linfield even suspected that Tangning was completely disillusioned with the Qing because of the lack of wisdom of these people, and he had no interest in conquering it. She is more optimistic than Tang Ning, believing that the wisdom of the people needs to be cultivated, and when she conquers the Qing Dynasty, she will slowly cultivate and educate it.

Suzhou, an unfortunate place, saw the disaster of war again, and a large number of refugees fled to Shanghai with sad faces.

Faced with tremendous pressure from public opinion and parliament, Premier Shen had to order the army to fight a morale-boosting air battle in the near future.

A large number of warplanes hidden in Huzhou finally poured out under the pressure of Shangfeng, and traveled 150 kilometers to attack the invaders' air base on Chongming Island.

The Qing army did not have GPS, and the pilots in Chongming were not familiar with it at all, and the result was that they deviated from the target by more than 20 kilometers when they engaged the enemy. This mistake made General Lin's air force completely prepared to meet the enemy, and the air Bagua Array once again exerted its powerful strangulation ability, beating more than 1,000 fighters of the Qing Dynasty to pieces, and suffered a crushing defeat with a loss of 2 to 1, leaving nearly half of the fighters either crashed or surrendered, and retreated in defeat.

General Lin's formation is really difficult, it is actually two to one, and I don't know how many drones the other party used. However, the Qing army is able to give an explanation to the people, we are not a bad seed, we are the people's soldiers. In the end, the Ministry of Defense also summed up with "small victories", because this can boost morale.

"The frenzied Goryeo invading army can no longer ignore the determination of our Qing national defense forces to protect the motherland!" The Qing Dynasty's radio was rightly preaching for its own army, and the air force generals who knew the truth all blushed like monkeys when they heard it.

Blushing is nothing, and the scarier ones are yet to come. General Lin's warship bird drone quietly followed the remnants of the Qing air force to Huzhou, and took in an unobstructed view of their secret air base. The warship bird flies slowly, but the injured fighter plane also flies slowly and is bitten by the warship bird.

Huzhou is only 100 kilometers away from Hangzhou Bay, and it seems that the Qing army is really reluctant to Jiangsu, a treasure of feng shui, and such a dangerous distance is thought to be safe.

On the night when the people of the Qing Dynasty secretly took to the Internet to celebrate their ancestor's victory in Chongming, 10 King-class heavy cruisers equipped with gliding heavy guns quietly sailed into Hangzhou Bay and launched a deadly bombardment of the secret air base in Huzhou. Each ship was equipped with 5 gliding heavy guns, a total of 50 guns, twice as many as when General Lin sent the India-Malaysia combined fleet to attack Nagoya, and the fate of the secret base in Huzhou can be imagined.

Without too much sensationalism and makeup as a partner for justice, the general's telegram official account lightly announced the results of the battle to the public: "Last night, our army attacked the Qing army at night and launched an air attack on the Huzhou military base in Chongming, completely annihilating about 1,500 fighters of the opposing side, together with the 500 fighters lost by the other side in the air attack on Chongming. ”

To put it mildly, the truth is that none of the buildings around the base are intact. It's all half a ton of heavy shells, and you can feel the bloody wind at that time.

It was so tragic that the clergy in Europe drew crosses for the Qing army, the clergy in North Africa prayed for them, and the Japanese monks recited sutras for them, because of the Japanese loss in Nagoya, they felt the same experience of the Qing Dynasty. At this time, Japan and the Qing Dynasty were a pair of good friends, the best kind.

The members of the Entente lowered the flag at half-mast for the warriors who died heroically in the Qing Dynasty, and the whole world was solemn
