"Vice President, Vice President."

Kuang Xukun rushed into the study and startled Yang Qiu, who was looking through the data machine. Fortunately, he didn't pay attention to the mysterious white metal object on the table, and his attention was all on the telegram in his hand: "Vice President! General Cai called, Britain compromised! ”

"Really!"

Yang Qiu, who covered the data machine with a newspaper, jumped up directly, and didn't even care that the pile of documents was knocked down to reveal a bomb design drawing marked with the words top secret, and grabbed the telegram and looked at it carefully. Kuang Xukun has been a secretary for three years, and he is the longest-serving of all the secretaries around Yang Qiu, so he knows his temper and thoughts better than his predecessor. The conclusion of this "Sino-British package agreement" is so important, it can be said that China has never been a complete country because of the unequal treaties before this, but this agreement means that the country has not only gained de jure independence, but also really stood up in essence!

"Does the president know?"

"I haven't told me yet, I'm going to call."

"Forget it. Prepare the car, I will go in person. ”

After Yang Qiu finished speaking, he hurriedly put on his coat and was about to go out, but he couldn't take care of Rui Yao, so he rushed to the presidential palace with Kuang Xukun after saying something urgent. Rui Yao entered the house and saw the blueprints and documents that had been knocked over all over the floor, and knew that something must have happened, so she carefully put it away for him. After a while, the lights were lit up in the study of the presidential palace, and Li Yuanhong was wearing pajamas, and his face was shaking. Excited, really excited! Although he, the president, has neither power nor profit, but he has a bit of a reputation, and once this matter is done again, it will be worth it for him to step down: "Okay, good!" After the British compromised, Japan and Russia were left. Japan is fighting with us, and they will panic if they seize Pyongyang as soon as possible, and Taiwan is no longer a matter of concern. If Russia also comes, hehe, talk too much, talk too much. ”

Tang Shaoyi was also in a mood. There are only a few months left in the prime minister's term, and such a big thing has been accomplished at the last moment, even if he goes home to retire, it is worth revealing it. Clapped his hands and smiled: "The president is too worried, Britain, France and the United States are now the strongest countries." Since they have admitted to the abolition of all unequal treaties, it is tantamount to acknowledging the Taiwan matter in disguise, and unless Tanaka Yoshiichi is crazy, he will have to see the reactions of various countries. Sakhalin Island will be kept, and it will not be counted as offending Britain, France, and the United States excessively, and as for Russia, it will not be able to stop in two or three years. Hehe, this time, it's really going to be peaceful! ”

"yes. Just look at this last one! Yang Qiu was also excited, but he was calmer. Although Britain agreed to cancel the unequal treaties and recognized the Republic of China to recover its territory, it planted the root cause on the Korean and Sakhalin issues, which was nothing more than to give Japan a way to survive and continue to contain China. Fortunately, he had already thought about this point, and it was still necessary not to kill Japan, at least with Japan, and then often create some Sino-Japanese confrontation. Europe will not be fully prepared for itself. So he turned his head to Kuang Xukun and said, "Call Song Ziqing and tell him about it." After January 1, there will definitely be big changes in Japan, and before that, North Korea must fight hard! Occupy as much territory as you can. Be prepared for negotiations. ”

Yang Qiu's order was directly conveyed to the front line, and after receiving the order, the former commander of the Cheongchon River in Anju, North Korea, immediately took action, and Xie Ruyi, who had been trained on the Western Front for two years, could imagine the pressure as the front-line commander of the Korean Front, so after reading the telegram, he immediately grabbed the phone and shouted: "Pick up the 26th Brigade!" Artillery Command. ”

"The barrage is blocked, the distance is 5,000 meters, 20 minutes." Shang Anbang took the artillery firing table and the tactical meter and yelled at the telephone. He was one of the two trainee artillery ensigns who saw through Yan Youbing's tactics during the Battle of Rainyvale Longxiao on the Western Front three years ago. Now he is a captain and is responsible for the liaison of the entire front artillery in this campaign. Under his tandem, a cannon on the 15-kilometer-wide offensive line in front of the Qingchuan River raised its barrels, especially the 1 independent barrier-breaking heavy artillery company that had just arrived from the Northeast Theater was not far in front of him, and the 4 254mm barrier-breaking guns that became famous when breaking through the canyon in the Battle of Rainiwell were the killer tools to open the gap!

In order to transport these large guns, which still weigh 15 tons each after the barrel is cut down, from Sinuiju, the troops mobilized 2,000 horses and 3,000 Korean people. Now it's worth it to see if it's worth the price!

"Flare bang bang."

While three green flares pierced the night sky, chasing each other to illuminate the river, 180 suppressive artillery pieces of various types erupted in a roar at the same time, and even the air was blown up!

Numerous fire points crossed the river and flew accurately towards the Japanese positions on the opposite bank. Exploding clouds of smoke rose from the ridge on the opposite bank, and dense fireballs were brighter than the stars in the sky. The other side of the Qingchuan River became a flowing sea of fire, and the fierce fire blew up the flesh and blood of the Japanese army, and the corpses were all over the field. Whether it was the commandos waiting to forcibly cross the river, or the Japanese soldiers who were wide-eyed and gritting their teeth and preparing to hold their positions, there was no other sound in their ears! The sharp sound waves even cracked the thin ice that had just begun to condense on the surface of the river. The bombardier struggled to push the 254mm grenade into position with a wheelbarrow cart, and the two loaders used a special cloth bag to hold the shell and put it in front of and behind the chamber, and the partners behind cooperated with them to stuff it into the chamber, and then a piece of silk-wrapped quick-ignition propellant was pushed in. The bolt of the gun is locked, the muzzle of the gun is adjusted, the gun squad leaves, and the fire is fired.

The well-trained heavy artillery company in two years of actual combat is no worse than its counterparts in the navy, don't look at the 254mm low-pressure obstacle breaking gun can't compare to the monster of the big Belta, nor can it compare with the newly developed 210mm long-range howitzer heavy artillery, but the destructive power at close range is very terrifying. Compared to the German Siegfried Line at the Battle of Rainyvale, the Japanese positions along the ridge were almost as papier-mâché in the face of these monsters. After a 254mm grenade fell in the dense forest, not only were all the pine trees around the bowl mouth broken, but the rocks rolled down the hillside, completely filling a 10-meter-wide Japanese position, and the soldiers inside were either stoned to death or suffocated alive. The Japanese troops who rushed to the rescue were only halfway down the runway, and the 155mm howitzers and 105mm field howitzers that came to the rescue made them suffer a lot.

An artilleryman tore open his cotton coat fiercely, revealing his solid and tight arms, and the scorching wind that swept through him made his whole body burn, and he no longer cared about the army's orders, thinking about firing enough shells at the target in 20 minutes.

Shells rained down on the Japanese positions like meteors falling from the sky, and the officers' binoculars burst limbs, gravel, and trees in pieces. In 1894, the Qing army, which had a heavy artillery group that could be ranked in Asia and even the world, was easily captured by the Japanese army without a single shot, and in 1904, the heavy artillery purchased by Russia due to natural conditions such as Siberian railway transportation ended before the Far East War ended. It was not until 1914 that the heavy artillery group of the Qingdao fortress was tested for the first time by the Japanese army. And now compared to five years ago, the number of suppression artillery pieces of various types in the Wehrmacht has increased almost threefold. The 75mm field guns mainly equipped by the Japanese army could not even be involved in this artillery battle, as long as the slightest artillery flame appeared on the opposite bank, the two 150mm long-range cannon battalions deployed on the rear high ground would be fiercely suppressed at the position of the muzzle flame.

The most terrible moment of artillery suppression began, and it was simply a hellish moment for the Japanese army, who lacked protection and had no experience in European-style trenches! The packed trenches were filled and exploded. The terrible heavy shells could not survive within a radius of several meters after they fell, and even if they were not directly hit, they were shocked by the aftermath and bled out. Bodies were torn and scattered everywhere, walls of fire squeezed their living space, swirling fragments mercilessly killing and injuring all exposed targets, and even the sturdy concrete bunkers that had been built with great difficulty could not withstand a single shell from the barrier-breaking cannon. When the bunker exploded like scattered pine nuts, it was impossible for the soldiers inside to survive.

When the 20-minute coverage finally passed, the battlefield suddenly became deserted. In the whistling north wind, many Japanese soldiers began to probe and inspect the river, but found that the Wehrmacht did not cross the river immediately, and when they felt weird, they did not know that Shang Anbang had already laughed. This is inertia, when the tyranny and the terrible suddenly disappear, people can't help but stick their heads out and look around. When the old Japanese officers had already noticed that something was wrong and shouted for the soldiers to continue hiding, the shells were once again violently scattered.

There are no words to describe the brutality of this round of shells. The fragmentation effect of the pre-engraved shells was brought into full play, and thousands of Japanese soldiers who poked their heads out to look around were hit by the fragments, and many were even directly cut off by shrapnel. Blood and intestines were scattered all over the ground. Even though many of the Japanese troops, who had always been known for their tenacity, ran straight to the ground and fled backwards with frenzied screams, they were either killed by the bullets of their own gendarmerie or blown to pieces by the dense shells.

After the second round of 10-minute artillery surprise attack began, it also meant that the horn of the forcible battle was sounded! The infantrymen who were waiting for the assault put on their life jackets. The North Korean Front led by Xie Ruyi pointed out that this time it was a bloody one, and the two commandos were all veterans of the European War and the Sino-Japanese War. An officer with the badge of the National Youth Association and the European War Veteran Medal on his chest stood on a high place to boost morale: "Brothers! Comrades-in-arms! Without further ado, like you, I could have gone home to honor my parents. However, the Japanese on the other side told me to pick up my gun again! I don't regret it, I don't complain! Pick up a gun, we are soldiers. It is a Chinese soldier who defends his home and country! 3 years ago, we went to Europe, why? Because the country needs us, because 40,000,000 compatriots need us to stand up! Now, once again, the nation and the nation are calling to us. The commander-in-chief said, we in China do not want colonies. We don't want turf, we want dignity! It's an honor! It's the face of 40,000,000 compatriots! Now let's get ready and tell the Japanese that we're on our feet! We are not the old Manchu army, we are not the Beiyang of internal friction, we are the national defense army! For the sake of our family! For our brothers and sisters, for the sake of 40,000,000 compatriots, for the dignity of the motherland! ”

"For the family!"

"Family!"

"For the country!"

"Country!"

"For dignity!"

"Dignity!"

"For the Motherland! Wehrmacht, attack! ”

"Attack."

Every time the young officer shouted, the soldiers in the cold wind responded in unison. The enthusiasm and morale of the inspiring instantly ignited the cold air, and a group of commando soldiers carried rifles on their backs to push the inflatable rafts into the piercing Qingchuan River. The engineers also began to push the pre-set iron pontoons into the river, the Bailey Bridge began to rivet, and the soldiers and the people carried the I-beams onto the pontoons.

"General, the first commando team has set off!"

In the half-buried underground bunker, the staff officer shouted to remind Xie Ruyi. Through the bipedal artillery binoculars, it can be clearly seen that hundreds of kayaks are the first to rush to the other side of the river. Seeing this, the Japanese troops on the opposite bank, who had been bombarded by artillery, also mobilized and rushed to the shore to try to prevent the landing across the river, and the Wehrmacht also provided fire support with a large number of mortars. "Row, row," shouted every Wehrmacht soldier who saw the commando depart, clenching his fists and shouting. The most dangerous thing about cross-river operations is the surface of the river. The Japanese army's early blasting blew up the ice surface of the Cheongchon River, which led to the primitive method of crossing the river.

As they approached the center of the river, the light and heavy machine guns on the kayak opened fire, and countless lines of fire crossed by. The spectacle is so spectacular that it makes people's scalps tingle, as if there are tens of thousands of fireflies desperately burning with life. The Japanese soldiers also went crazy, and every Japanese officer knew that although the south of the Qingchuan River was also mountainous, the roads were more than ten times better than those in the north of the river! If the National Defense Forces break through this section of the Anju River, then the northern gate of Pyongyang will be opened. "Assault, assault! Onboard. The screams and the howls of the ghosts and wolves resounded through the night. Countless Japanese soldiers rushed out of the bunkers to the shore, and those who were already on the shore used improvised fortifications and bunkers to fire desperately.

Boom, boom, boom, the Meiji Type 38 75mm field gun hidden by the Japanese army opened fire, and the shells fell on the surface of the river and brought up columns of water. The icy water droplets rushed to the face, quickly wetting the bodies of the veteran commandos who were crossing the river. A cannonball landed not far from the kayak, and the explosion tore the kayak apart while pushing a dozen veterans into the river. The two kayaks passing by quickly approached, and when they tried to rescue their comrades, another shell fell. In minus 15 degrees Celsius, anyone who falls into the water will lose consciousness for only a few minutes. Therefore, many kayaks simply rushed forward regardless of their strength, hoping to break through this trench and reach the opposite shore as soon as possible. The artillerymen behind him saw the enemy's 75mm field artillery continuously overturning the kayak, and their eyes were bloodshot. Even four 254mm barrier-breaking guns shifted their muzzles to the intended landing point on the opposite bank. Rumbling fireballs exploded from all over the intended landing site, and 120mm and 160mm mortars, who did not participate in the artillery battle, became the main force in the artillery battle. Even many 12.7mm fanged heavy machine gun squads rushed to the riverside and fired fiercely at hundreds of meters away, hoping to help their comrades with dense bullets.

The first commando team has not yet reached the other side, and the second commando team has also embarked on a death journey, these veterans who have faced poison gas, shells, explosions and flames in the European war are as quiet as water, and many of them even gulp clouds and smoke with cigarettes in their mouths, and wait for the bull's eyes to rush to the other side to clean up these Japanese radish heads.

The Japanese artillery shells and machine guns were still desperately blocking, and one kayak after another disappeared into the rolling river, and even officers like Xie Ruyi, who had experienced hundreds of thousands of deaths at every turn, clenched their fists and rushed out of the bunker to pace back and forth. Wait for the signal to land. The veteran commander of the regiment who encouraged the soldiers had been rushing to the front, he lowered his body and clinged to the kayak, and several of his comrades around him were bloodied after being hit by Japanese machine guns, but he and his other partners gritted their teeth and persevered. After the paddling left hand suddenly touched a piece of mud and sand, he suddenly raised his submachine gun and jumped into the cold river water that submerged his knees.

Spread out, bow your head, and run. Keep rushing, looking for cover, lying down and shooting! A simple landing step, but one that required breaking through the enemy's dense blockade of machine guns and bullets, was a matter of life and death for every Wehrmacht veteran. Rushing over, with their skillful combat skills, they can gain a firm foothold, and they can gradually clear the Japanese army and tear a gap for the follow-up troops.

The major lay down in a thorn, the spikes piercing his face and hands, but the cold and the battle had made him forget the pain, and the submachine gun in his hand was aimed at a Japanese machine gun point and swept over. Since the submachine gun was too far away and did not work, he remembered the 17-year-old 40mm grenade he was carrying. This single-shot grenade gun, which had just begun to equip the troops, did work, although the caliber was smaller than the old grenadier, but the accuracy was much improved, and he hit the Japanese machine gun point 100 meters away with just two shots, destroying the heavy machine gun.

After more and more veterans of the commando rushed to the river, an orange-red signal flare finally rose high from the south bank of the Qingchuan River, and Xie Ruyi and the officers jumped up excitedly. The main forces waiting in the rear also moved quickly and prepared to cross the river.

Shirakawa Yoshinori, who had been defeated in Qingdao, has been staying in North Korea since returning to China, thinking about revenge every moment. Therefore, this large-scale offensive of the National Defense Forces took the initiative to come to Anzhou with the command of the defense of the Qingchuan River, in an attempt to teach the Chinese National Defense Forces a lesson here and save the face of the defeat of the year. However, he had only been there for three days, and the reality that the Anzhou River was occupied by Chinese commandos made him unacceptable, and he scolded and angrily: "The army of the Great Japanese Empire doesn't even have the courage?!" There aren't many of them, show your courage and drive them down the river! ”

"Hey!"

A few young men who had been blown up by the Wehrmacht artillery and were still pale, gritted their teeth and led their troops to launch the famous pig assault on the riverside, and the crazy onboard shouts rolled across the mountains and swept like a torrent. This wave of pig suddenness did greatly increase the momentum of the Japanese army, and many Japanese soldiers who were still trembling in the trenches before and did not dare to raise their heads were ignited by fanaticism, and followed with guns to launch an assault, vowing to drive the veteran commandos down the river.

The 12-year-old grenadier, the 17-year-old howitzer, the 13-year-old Han II heavy machine gun, the Han III light machine gun, the 18-year 60mm mortar, as well as the charge, shotgun, grenade and 11-year standard rifle were in full swing, and the veteran commandos responded to the Japanese army's pig attack tactics with frantic firepower. Because the distance between the two sides was too close, the long-range artillery did not dare to open fire, and could only watch the soldiers of both sides slaughter together. Seeing that the defense zone of the landing zone was about to be broken through by the fierce Japanese troops, more than a dozen flames tens of meters long suddenly burst out of the darkness.

"What's that?"

"What's that?"

Shirakawa Yoshinori hid in the bunker and jumped frantically in anger, seeing that he was about to catch up with this Wehrmacht commando team up the river, but these mysterious flames suddenly rushed out! No one can describe the feeling at this moment, long flames continue to flash from the darkness, and each time it erupts, it can burn the approaching Japanese soldiers all over the body, and they can't even extinguish it! The terrible howl and the sight of rolling on the ground frightened many Japanese soldiers into forgetting to shoot until they were hit by bullets.

"Flame guns (flamethrowers)! It was a German invention of the flame gun! A Japanese soldier who had gone to the Western Front to observe the battle recognized the flamethrower and shouted frantically: "Find them and concentrate your fire!" "He said it simply, how could a musketeer in the dark be so easily hit? The Wehrmacht musketeers, who had fought on the Western Front, were well aware of their weaknesses, so they constantly used bushes and stones to cover themselves, and they also concentrated a large number of submachine guns and shotguns around them, and the Japanese soldiers were often beaten into a sieve before they found out. Although a few musketeers were still hit and turned into a ball of fire, the constant flames really frightened the Japanese soldiers who knew nothing about it, especially when they saw hundreds of comrades rolling on the ground screaming in pain covered in fire, and after a moment turned into a mass of charcoal, even the strongest soldiers began to waver.

The frenzied Japanese army was finally contained, and with the successful landing of the Second Assault Regiment, more and more Wehrmacht veterans were down-to-earth, borrowing the cover of machine guns and flamethrowers at night to launch a rapid attack and constantly encroach on the war zone around the landing site. Shirakawa Yoshinori was stunned, and he couldn't imagine that he would still lose the fate of fighting again after five years. For the first time, the musketeers of the Asian battlefield worked wonders, especially when their comrades had completed the surface sweep, they only had to pull the trigger on the caves and bunkers where the Japanese might be hiding, and the high-pressure gasoline and long flames would burn everything in the caves to ashes.

The frantically fierce battle came to an end with a ray of morning light on the horizon, the conveniently erected Bailey pontoon bridge gradually took shape, the main force also brought larger assault boats to cross the river in a steady stream, and the two infantry regiments on the detour also crossed the frozen river from dozens of kilometers upstream to converge.

Tick tick tick.

When the sun completely broke through the morning fog, loud trumpets sounded on both sides of the Cheongchon River, and the main force of the Wehrmacht, which had been blocked for eight days, rolled towards Pyongyang on the pontoon bridge.

Attack, keep attacking! …… (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to come to the starting point (qidian) to vote for recommendation, monthly pass, your support, is my biggest motivation. )
