Chapter 171: The Sino-Japanese War 1

Since August last year, because of the successive defeats in the Chinese battlefield, he has begun to frantically form new divisions.

Before that, because the incident of the prisoners of the Yue army being shot dead by the Chinese Dragon and Tiger Army and building a landscape was transmitted to the Yue Ben again and again, the trend of Yue Ben [***] and anti-Chinese rose wildly, and countless Chinese in the Yue Ben were treated inhumanely, and they fled from the mainland and returned to China.

It was not until the news of the defeat in Northeast China came back to the army that the people of the country went completely crazy, and they joined the army one after another, donating money and materials, and supporting the formation of the army, just to take revenge and make China pay the price.

As a result, in less than half a year, not only did it form 30 new divisions, but it also rebuilt all eight divisions and regiments that were completely wiped out on Chinese soil last year.

In just half a year, the army has grown from less than 400,000 to more than one million, not including the people who have been thoroughly mobilized.

It is said that the resources are scarce and the production capacity is limited, but the millions of troops are all equipped with the world's most advanced weapons, most of which are purchased from the United States, Britain, Germany, and other countries, and there are more than 2,000 artillery pieces and more than 2,000 heavy machine guns in the army.

As a result, the number of artillery and heavy machine guns in an average division exceeded 40, and although this number was too far from the 108 heavy machine guns, 72 mortars, and 36 heavy guns of a division of the Dragon and Tiger Army, its armament had already surpassed the regular armies of Britain, France, the United States, and Russia.

One of the reasons why the Dragon and Tiger Army can be equipped with so many advanced guns and artillery is that the military industrial group is completely on the right track, and branch factories have been established in all provinces and provinces, and the other reason is that the military industrial group has all achieved advanced assembly line production, which is simply incomparable with other countries in the world, and now this assembly line production technology is still in strict secrecy and has not been circulated.

Although China's industrial base is not as good as that of the European and American powers, after the reorganization of the military industrial complex and the implementation of advanced assembly line production, the production capacity of Wang Jundao's military factories far exceeds that of the military factories of European and American countries.

Therefore, now a division of Wang Jundao must be equipped with 108 heavy machine guns and 108 artillery pieces, including 18 large-caliber heavy machine guns, weighing 36 kilograms, powerful and powerful. There were also 36 medium heavy machine guns weighing 27 kg. As well as 54 were small heavy machine guns weighing 18 kg.

The artillery includes 36 heavy guns and 72 mortars, the 36 heavy guns include 6 203mm cannons, 6 155mm cannons, 12 105mm cannons, 6 122mm howitzers, 6 155mm howitzers, 72 mortars including 12 heavy mortars, 24 medium mortars, and 36 light mortars.

As for the rifle, the army is not as good as Wang Jundao's army, and now Wang Jundao's regular troops have all used semi-automatic rifles, the kind of semi-automatic rifle designed and produced based on the M1 Garand rifle, although the effective range is only 600 meters, nearly 200 meters lower than the real M1 Garand rifle, but the quality is nearly one kilogram smaller than the real M1 Garand rifle, and the production cost and use consumption are reduced a lot, so that it can be equipped to the Dragon and Tiger Army on a large scale. This semi-automatic rifle was developed in 1901 and was named the Zhonghua Type 1901 semi-automatic rifle by Wang Jundao.

In addition to the rifle, the pistol used by Wang Jundao's Dragon and Tiger Army is also much stronger than that of the army, one is based on the Browning M1911A1 pistol, and the pistol is copied from the design, but Wang Jundao has transformed its magazine, using double-row magazine technology, so that the ammunition volume breaks the shackles of the M1911A1 pistol with a bullet capacity of only 7 + 1, and becomes 14 + 1, which can almost maintain long-term uninterrupted firepower, this pistol was developed in 1902, It was named the Zhonghua 1902 pistol by Wang Jundao.

The other pistol is the pistol used by the cavalry, the pistol modified from the Mauser pistol, the effective range is between 120 meters and 150 meters, the ordinary model is equipped with a magazine of 20 rounds, and the magazine of the charge model can hold 30 rounds, Wang Jundao named it the Zhonghua 1902 type barge gun, referred to as the barge gun.

In addition to these basic guns, the Dragon and Tiger Army is also equipped with an extremely terrifying number of light machine guns and submachine guns, light machine guns have been equipped to the platoon level, each platoon has a light machine gun, and submachine guns have been equipped to the squad, each squad has a submachine gun.

The light machine gun is designed based on the Czech light machine gun, with a magazine capacity of 30 rounds and a magazine of 50 rounds, which Wang Jundao named the Zhonghua Type 1902 light machine gun.

The submachine gun was designed based on the Thomson submachine gun, which Wang Jundao named the Zhonghua Type 1902 submachine gun.

Of course, there are more advanced weapons than these, including sniper rifles with a range of more than 1,300 meters based on the M1918A1 7.62mm automatic rifle, automatic assault rifles designed based on the AK47, pistols with a capacity of up to 30 rounds based on the Glock 17 pistol, and advanced weapons such as bazookas and flamethrowers, but these weapons can only be produced in small quantities and can only be equipped with the most elite units of the special forces. Even if Wang Jundao's current military factories have all implemented advanced assembly production, they will not be able to mass-produce these weapons and equipment for the army, otherwise he will soon face bankruptcy.

However, with the fact that his army is now more advanced than other military powers in the world for more than fifteen years of weapons and equipment, fighting with Yue himself, it is simply an advantage, coupled with the Dragon and Tiger Army After a long period of hard training and war practice, there are also a large number of exercises, the combat quality of its soldiers has already exceeded several times that of the Yue Ben army that has just been formed for less than half a year, so now Wang Jundao is not afraid of going to war with Yu Ben at all, but is full of expectations!

What is the war fought, is it logistics, is it comprehensive national strength, and is today's instinct compared with China's vast land and resources? Apparently not!

When Wang Jundao received a report from the agents of the Chinese Intelligence Bureau lurking in the Chinese Intelligence Bureau that the navy had dispatched a large-scale dispatch to carry the army to the Korean Peninsula, he was not surprised or overjoyed.

After consulting with Lin Zhengnan, the deputy head of the military hall, Pang Wei, the deputy chief of staff, and others, Wang Jundao immediately decided to let the Third Army transfer 100,000 troops to reinforce Anton.

Now that the suppression of bandits in the Northeast has already been completed, all localities have long been settled, all important cities have begun to implement the new policy in full swing, immigration has also begun to be carried out one after another, the construction corps has arrived in the Heilongjiang River Valley, and the construction of the Northeast has begun, using the latest production of agricultural machinery as production tools, using new seeds for selection and breeding, and mature new planting methods, and implementing large-scale production and large-scale development, and the Northeast no longer needs too many garrisons.

Moreover, in the past six months or so, Wang Jundao has successfully launched two medium-sized battleships, two medium-sized cruisers, five light warships, and three submarines, thus doubling the combat effectiveness of the 'Jiaolong' fleet and the 'Ghost' submarine force, and they can completely be combined into a new-class main fleet.

In addition to the Russian [***] ships that have been refitted and repaired, the strength of the Chinese fleet is almost twice that of the Japanese fleet, and there is no concern at all that the Chinese fleet will land directly off the coast of China and open up a second battlefield.

In fact, since the navy attacked the port of Arthur and won a complete victory, the strength of the Chinese navy has completely shocked the world, and no country dares to risk the possible destruction of its own navy and cross the ocean to start a war with the Chinese navy.

Therefore, in the past six months or so, no fleet has dared to haunt China's coastal waters at will, and even the German fleet originally stationed in Jiaozhou Bay has quietly withdrawn, because they are afraid that if they are accidentally attacked by the Chinese fleet one day, their fleet in the Far East will be completely finished.

After all, Wang Jundao's image to the world is too demonic, many times, he is completely a madman, and he is the kind of cold-blooded madman who wins every battle, and no one knows if he will eat you to the point that there are no bones left.

But even so, Wang Jundao still did not order the recovery of Qingdao, because now Germany is still relatively peaceful, and there is no embarrassment for China, even if it is far away from the ocean, Germany is beyond the reach of the whip, he does not want to offend Germany for the time being, otherwise he will not be able to make enemies everywhere, right? Although there are many mosquitoes and they are not afraid of biting, it is also a troublesome thing to deal with.

He has to wait until China is completely reunified, so that the world cannot underestimate China, and China becomes a colossus that is integrated into one, and then he will directly take back Qingdao and other places by strong diplomatic means.

Only a strong country has diplomacy, and a weak country has no diplomacy.

Just as the 100,000 troops of the Third Army arrived in Andong under the personal leadership of Nie Yuanzheng, more than 100,000 people from the five divisions of the second batch of the army also rushed to the east bank of the Yalu River.

It seems that a great war is about to begin in the middle of the day.

And in the northwest, the battle in the river has also entered the white heat!

The 100,000-strong dragon and tiger army led by Xu Jian ran over the northeast side of the river like a flood, and everywhere it passed, the enemy chieftains were wiped out, all the land was incorporated into the Chinese territory, and the religious elements were driven south.

In just a few days, the Dragon and Tiger Army captured the Tashkent area in the north of the river, and drove the main force of the Dragon and Tiger Army to the Zhenzhu River.

An army of 100,000 troops, under the command of Xu Jian, began to launch a campaign to cross the river and attack the area of Kujand on the south bank of the Pearl River.

At the same time, Xiang Zilong took the initiative to cooperate with Xu Jian's army and led the main force of the 50,000 Dragon and Tiger Army in the Dawan Basin to launch a fierce attack from the east of the Kujand City area.

With only 80,000 troops in the Khujand region, how could Russia withstand the attack of 150,000 Dragon and Tiger troops?

Within half a day, with the enemy in the east and north at the same time, the Russian army chose to retreat after losing more than 10,000 soldiers.

However, how could the Dragon Tiger Army allow the Russian army to retreat safely? A fierce chase and fierce fighting, unrelenting.

When the Russian army fled to Samarkand, the largest city in the river, there were only more than 40,000 people left, and with the original 10,000 defenders of Samarkand, only 50,000 remained.

The Dragon and Tiger Army under the city of Samarkand did not stop the pace of attack, because Xu Jian knew that the Dragon and Tiger Army was tired, and the Russian army was even more tired!

After encircling Samarkand to the north, east, and south, the general offensive began!

Since the people in the city were not Chinese, the Dragon and Tiger Army had no worries at all, and the artillery bombarded unscrupulously, and high-explosive bombs, incendiary bombs, and poison gas bombs were tested in Samarkand.

In just half a day, more than 20,000 Russian troops died, as well as more than 50,000 people from Samarkand.

In such hellish destruction, the Russian army was completely frightened, and the people of Samarkand were also completely frightened, and they abandoned their homes and businesses and fled from Samarkand's Simon.

It was not until all the Russian troops in Samarkand fled, and more than two-thirds of the civilians fled, that the Dragon and Tiger Army entered Samarkand.

At this time, only eleven days had passed since they received Wang Jundao's order, and Xu Jian and Xiang Zilong had planted the dragon flag of the Chinese Dragon and Tiger Army on the walls of Samarkand four days in advance!

At this point, the main forces of the Russian army in the river area have been completely wiped out, and all that remains is to clear the river of the remnants of resistance and drive those extremist religious elements out of the river area. (To be continued.) )
