Chapter 222: Bombardment of Lushun
Outside the city of Lushun, suddenly there was a burst of gunfire, the Russian army in the city, the Chinese people, seemed to be extremely frightened, in the first time of the sound of gunfire, even the most basic way to avoid lying down with their heads in their hands did not take into account, and the city of Arthur was suddenly in a panic.
Some time ago, when the Russian army was just inclined to go to war, the Russian army intentionally or unintentionally slaughtered some civilians in the city, of course, on the grounds that they secretly communicated with each other and intended to betray the secrets of the Russian army.
The massacre not long ago is still deeply reflected in the hearts of every people, and it is not easy to learn that their motherland has also participated in the war, and has sent troops to take orders outside the northeast, and the people in Lushun City are also very excited, and even some young people who are a little more courageous have also risked being captured by the Russian army, and quietly ran out of the city to find the whereabouts of the Chinese Imperial Defense Force.
Here I have to say why the young people sneaked around and ran out of the city to find the Wehrmacht at the risk of being captured by the Russian army. In the Northeast, it seems that the arrest of strong men has become a common occurrence for the Russian army, and all young and powerful ones are captured by the Russian army and used as coolies, of course, this is also for the convenience of public security in the future.
Gathering young people together, although it will be a little difficult to control in comparison, but for a strong army, it is nothing more than sending a few hundred more army guards, but for the outside world, it is very different, without strong young people, the chance of them rising is very small, although the increase in the number of troops in the labor camp, but compared to the peace outside, it is quite cost-effective.
It's just a pity that those few young people who escaped the Russian defense line and ran out, Lushun is surrounded by the sea on three sides, and if you want to go out to find the whereabouts of the Wehrmacht, you can only go through Dalian, detour to Yingkou, and finally reach Guanwai through the Qinhuangdao line, not to mention the long distance, and these places seem to be heavily guarded by the Russian army.
At present, in the entire Northeast, all the Russian troops seem to be frantically arresting strong men, so it is almost impossible to sneak out of the eyes of the Russian army. As for the waterway, don't even think about it, even if the Russian Navy is too scared to leave the port, but what about the Navy outside? Two fleets, two enemies, no one will let go of a single opportunity to shoot a target, and what about the naval fleet of the Chinese Empire? Where are they?
While these strong men were hiding in a small remote temple and meditating, they did not know that at this time, the Chinese Imperial Defense Force had landed in Lushun by water, and there had been a skirmish with the Russian army in Lushun.
"Report to the company commander, the artillery is ready, please instruct!" After seeing that his comrades had finished preparing, an ordinary soldier of the frogman unit hurriedly ran to the company commander who was still in front to observe the terrain and ask for instructions.
"Fire according to the preset Zhuyuan!" Lian Chang Qin Shou nodded, his eyes were reluctant to leave the telescope from beginning to end, and he muttered in his mouth.
"Yes, company commander!" After the soldier received the order, he quickly ran backwards and instructed his comrades on each gun position to adjust their shooting and prepare to open fire.
As for this presupposition of Zhuyuan, Wang Lin is not so stupid, and the generals under Wang Lin are not so stupid, this is in their own territory, and there are some things that cannot be done and dare not be done. Even though Wang Lin transferred nearly 500,000 regular army troops to participate in the war this time, he still withdrew more than 100,000 internal guard troops, and this operation will also witness the birth of a new type of army.
The Internal Guard, to put it bluntly, the Armed Police Force, does not have many heavy weapons, or even none, but for light weapons, they do not have fewer than any of the Wehrmacht. They just have different tasks and different directions.
At first, Wang Lin also planned to call the armed police force directly, but after thinking about it in the end, he still felt that it was inappropriate, after all, this is a new era, a new country, since Wang Lin forced others to accept this new fact, then what reason did he have to let himself continue to use the code name of a unit?
At first, when he called him the armed police force, Wang Lin still had a trace of remembrance for future generations, but it has been more than ten years since he came here, and when he personally announced the founding of the country, he realized that everything turned out to be a fact, an indelible fact, since everything is new, even if Wang Lin misses it, what can it be? Can he be brought back to the afterlife? The answer, of course, is no, and in that case, why doesn't Wang Lin create a new era? Abandon all memories and devote yourself to this new era, an era that only belongs to the sons and daughters of China.
At this time, although it is a war with a foreign enemy, the area of the war is his own territory, even if Wang Lin wants to use heavy artillery and nuclear bombs to blow the enemy to pieces? From the beginning to the end, this is still its own country, and it is still its comrades who suffer in the end.
Therefore, there is a scene of a large number of internal security troops participating in the war, and whether it is the internal security forces, the national defense forces, or the naval forces, this operation truly embodies the integration of sea and land, the entire participating troops, only one headquarters, all military orders and deployment arrangements, will be issued by this headquarters, and as the emperor of the Chinese Empire, Wang Lin also symbolically served as the commander-in-chief of the participating troops.
Some people may say that Wang Lin is putting on a show, an emperor who is thousands of miles away, personally holding the position of commander-in-chief, what does this mean? It can only show that this emperor cares about fame very much. But Wang Lin told everyone very firmly that he was putting on a show, but the purpose of the show was different, he wanted the people to know that he was no longer the self he was a few years ago, and he was no longer the person who could be bullied by others.
They also have dignity and their own domineering, and Wang Lin's appointment as commander-in-chief is to clearly tell everyone how firm his confidence is in this war, how firm he is in his determination to fight against foreign invasion, and how firm he is in safeguarding the safety of the people of the country.
And Wang Lin's position as commander-in-chief also indirectly exerted a lot of pressure on the various departments of the National Defense Forces, although Wang Lin never asked them for a thing, nor did he ever issue any order to enforce the surname, if there is one, then Wang Lin does not deny that the compulsory order issued by Wang Lin, and the only order ever issued, is to strictly order all departments not to shoot at their own people under any circumstances, and Wang Lin also has extremely strict regulations on accidental injuries.
Under Wang Lin's more iron-blooded side, many soldiers in the army were both happy and headaches. Happily, the superior can care so much about the safety of the people below, and the headache is that if the enemy uses the people in front as a shield, then what should they do? Fall back? Or do you let the other party mess around?
But these are floating clouds, and the most important thing is that they all know and deeply understand that they must win this battle, and they must win it by a big margin. This is not only the first battle since the founding of the Chinese Empire, but also a test of the determination of the national defense personnel to safeguard the safety of the country, and it is also a battle of the Chinese Empire's prestige, so this battle can only be won, not defeated!
"Fire!" Seeing that his soldiers were ready, and he had also adjusted the direction of the muzzles of each shore defense gun and fired at Zhu Yuan, the deputy company commander Ai Shengbing waved down the small flag in his hand fiercely, and shouted loudly at the same time.
'Boom, boom, boom! Several large-caliber coastal defense guns, like a fire dragon, quietly hovered in one place, and under the skillful work of the soldiers, they poured out tongues of fire, like angry shouts, giving people an extremely exciting feeling.
The caliber of coastal defense artillery is generally larger than that of naval guns, and the firing range is also longer, because on land, there is a fixed firing site, so in terms of accuracy, it is also more accurate than naval guns. However, in order to avoid civilian casualties to the greatest extent, even the old birds, who have many years of experience in cannon fighting, do not dare to strike at enemy targets at a distance, for fear that if they are not careful, they will send a shell to the homes of civilians.
If you are fighting abroad, no one cares about you in these situations, and even the more people you blow up, the more likely you are to get a reward or something, but now it is not possible, if you are a little worse, you may be sent to a military court, even if they are elite, there is no exception, in the same way, while they are fighting artillery, there is also a squad of gendarmerie units on the artillery position that is strictly guarded, and their every move is memorized in their heads.
'Buzz! Airplanes! Airplanes! The shore defense artillery was originally prepared to strike ships on the sea, and the huge shells gently streaked through the air, leaving a dull sound.
This kind of sound can only be produced by heavy artillery of more than 120 mm, and the sound of shells forcibly tearing the air, although each cannon can do it, but the sound made by each cannon is different, which is often the basis for experienced veterans of the army to judge the caliber of the artillery and the landing point of the shells according to the sound of the shells tearing the air.
'Boom! Rumble! Rumble! After a long flight, heavy shells follow one another, just like the waves of the Yangtze River pushing the back waves, often one shell just falls, and then a second shell falls.
Bursts of orange flames, suddenly, rose into the air, and one after another cannonballs, like thunder, emitted a terrifying roar, giving people an extremely terrifying feeling. For a time, the entire shooting target suddenly turned into a sea of fire, and the Russian troops inside were even more shocked to the point of bleeding, and all the internal organs became a piece of minced meat, and the Russian soldiers who were close to the center of the explosion disappeared at the moment when the shell fell to the ground, and disappeared into this world full of joy, sorrow and anger.
The shells were mixed with bursts of dust, as well as gravel and clods of earth and other things, as if there was no obstruction, wantonly flying across the entire explosion area, the Russian soldiers with good eyes even saw an intoxicating, but disheartening scene, in the entire sky, in addition to dust and gravel and clods flying, there are countless human stumps dancing to the fullest, no one knows who their master is, maybe at this time, I am afraid that even they themselves do not know who their master is, right?
In Arthur City, the Russian army headquarters, personally experienced the horror of the whole earth trembling, General Slivsky hid under the table with trembling legs, the expression on his face was even more terrifying, his mouth was sometimes open and sometimes closed, but one thing never dissipated, that is, trembling, unconsciously trembling.
Slicksky trembled all over, his hands could not even hold the chair next to him at this time, his legs collapsed on the ground without obeying, his eyes were red and he looked at the ground, and his mouth shouted softly as if a demon had descended: "Can anyone tell me what happened?" ”
