Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
At the beginning of its birth, the life of human consciousness was both curious and afraid of the world. They wanted to explore but were afraid of encountering danger, so humans began to pursue the power of destruction to ensure their safety, and as soon as they came down from the tree, humans began to polish the stone ball, using this way of releasing kinetic energy as the power of destruction that they initially controlled. With the unfolding of history, the way in which chemical energy is released from guns has been controlled by humans. The powerful chemical energy is too terrifying for the fragile body of humans, but it has not stopped humans from pursuing it. The mastery of powerful destructive abilities is ingrained in the human blood.
Japan of this era looked formidable, and its Japanese army was undoubtedly a post-industrial destroyer force, with a disciplined musket army of 150,000 and a huge fleet of 17 battleships. No industrial country in Europe dares to underestimate this force. When Japan, which had this power, defeated the Manchu Qing Dynasty and Tsarist Russia, which were far more powerful than him on the surface, but were full of internal contradictions, the Japanese were a little flustered, and the two important factors of steel production and population began to be forgotten by the Japanese, and most of the Japanese lower-class soldiers attached too much importance to spiritual strength. As a result, several Japanese wing captains, instigated by the Black Dragon Society, began to cross the Yalu River. In the face of this situation, Cheng Pan felt that it was necessary to correct the behavior of the Japanese people who treated the war as a child's play.
Some scholars in later generations once gave an example that it was unnecessary for China to fight to resist US aggression and aid Korea after the founding of the People's Republic of China, because the United States did not specify a plan to invade China at that time. In fact, the Soviets did not have a desperate plan for China's northeast, and the northeast is a good place, if the US military is not beaten in Korea, but if China does not resist, and the US president does not quickly revise the plan to support Lao Mai to cut a knife in the northeast, then the US top brass is a fool.
The situation is the same now, Cheng Pan understands the Japanese tradition of going down to the kage, but this matter is definitely China's responsibility. There is no need for China to be tolerant. If China tolerates this Japanese crossing, it will make the Japanese top brass judge China's bottom line north of the Yalu River, and there will be a second and third border crossing in the future, so Cheng Pan immediately made a war posture and prepared to give the Japanese a long memory.
Originally, Cheng Pan did not plan to fight the Korean War, Cheng Pan wanted Japan to collapse in the economic crisis, but Cheng Pan misjudged that Japan, which had mastered its strength, would never die quietly, at least for a while, Cheng Pan really let them be vigorous. Japan deployed three standing divisions on the south bank of the Yalu River in Korea, totaling 70,000 men. Fortifications such as pillboxes were arranged, but the air raids came too quickly, and after the Japanese crossed the border, Kamazusha gathered fighters from the northeast near the Sino-Korean border, and 65o planes took off at the same time to bomb the location of the three divisions within an hour. The bunkers were shattered like eggshells, the bodies of Japanese soldiers were like balloons filled with water being hit by heavy punches, and their bones were as fragile as dead branches in the face of high shrapnel.
The Japanese claimed that one Japanese soldier could fight three Chinese soldiers, well, when the 50,000 Northeast Army of the Sickle Hammer Society attacked the south of the Yalu River, the command bullets, medicine warehouses, and key defense areas of the three divisions were named by the bombers, and the three divisions were defeated by the powerful Northeast Army without organizing effective resistance. After the annihilation of the five divisions in northern Korea, Japan's two under-formed divisions in southern Korea, totaling 30,000 people, began to move north to block the Red Army in northeastern China. The only heavy firepower that Japan has increased in recent years has been grenadiers and grenades.
After the Northeast Red Army entered Korea, a large number of tracked bulldozers began to enter North Korea to build an airstrip in the area, and the second wave of about 100,000 Northeast troops also began to enter North Korea. The Northeast Red Army stalled for a moment after crossing the Yalu River. At this time, two Japanese divisions were rushing to the north, and there was a gap in the war.
At this time, Japan was already shocked by the Korean shock. In the thinking of the Japanese at this time, although the Chinese Kamakama Society became strong after the revolution, the Japanese believed that they could still sit on an equal footing with the Kamakisha Society. The slogan of severely punishing tyrannical spending sounded. At this time, Japan's Meiji was already dead, but Ito and other Japanese with brains were still there, Ito of course knew why China was fighting, Ito knew China's national strength, but in the general environment where everyone thought that Japan could be on an equal footing with China, he did not think about explaining it to the Kamakama Society after the Korean army crossed the border, but was ready to mess up the account. He underestimated Cheng Pan's determination, no matter how wise the politician with weak national strength is, but he loses the awe of the national strength of a strong country, and there will be mistakes in diplomacy, for Cheng Pan, it is a small meaning for China to spend more than 3 million steel to fight this war, Ito did not dare to think about it at all, he still thinks about Japan's 400,000-ton navy as a bargaining chip. When the Korean airfield was about to be established, the 50,000 vanguard troops in the northeast exchanged fire with Japan. Due to Japan's weak national strength, its insufficient ammunition supply and the need to suppress the Koreans for a long time, the skirmish line tactics have not been changed in the Japanese 6th Army, they cannot afford to change, the skirmish line must have mobile continuous firepower to save ZĂ i, the Japanese 6th Army can not support this tactic of wasting ammunition, coupled with the power of the skirmish line in dealing with the Korean rebels, the Japanese 6th Army feels that the skirmish line is a useless tactic, and the entire Japanese 6th Army is still immersed in Nogi Noshimi's meat and egg tactics.
It is not a sin to have weak firepower, and it is still useful to use bunkers to resist and defend one by one, but the Japanese military academy is brain-dead and does not attach importance to defensive tactics at all, and all the answers in the examination of the Japanese military academy cannot be separated from the attack, and when it comes to defense, it is a mistake in the line.
In this way, the Japanese soldiers, who were weak in firepower, launched the main attack on the defensive trenches temporarily established by the Northeast Army. Zhang Qiang is a sniper, the essence of a sniper is to find a valuable target to strike, shouting "Shajiji" The Japanese officer holding up the bright command knife became an excellent target, but after this shot, Zhang Qiang realized that he didn't need to fire a second shot, not that there was no target, but that there were too many people charging, and it was a foolish act to use sniper bullets and machine gunners to grab people's heads...... Occasionally, a few grenades fired from grenades exploded in the positions of the Red Army, which did not cause many casualties, and this time the Northeast Red Army wore bulletproof vests with steel helmets. These two pieces of armor are bulletproof, but they still have protective value against various shrapnel on the battlefield. The radius of this non-grenadier was thus reduced by half. Just after the Japanese released the grenadiers, the Northeast Red Army began to use grenades to shoot in the direction of the Japanese grenadiers, and the Sickle Hammer Society has been engaged in industry for many years, and the technical requirements for soldiers are too high for such things, and the lethality is already very small in this era of skirmishers. In order to make up for the gap in fire between the grenade and the mortar after the grenadier was withdrawn, the grenade with a direct range of 7o meters and a maximum range of 35o meters became the best choice, almost every time the Japanese fired a grenadier, five grenades would be fired through.
The Japanese gradually began to get closer, and some of the Japanese had begun to hold grenades, but they had no chance, and twenty tongues of fire began to appear on the positions of the Sickle Society, and the sound of tearing cloth rang out. When a pig suddenly encounters a light machine gun, it is a slaughter. Cheng Pan, the game of the rise of the country, after the troops of the two eras encountered, due to the storage of blood bars, the troops of the backward era can still grind off a little blood of the troops of the advanced era when they encounter the troops of the advanced era, but if they encounter it in reality, it is a massacre. When bullets like fire whips were thrown at the charging Japanese, most of the Japanese in the front row were broken in two. The Japanese attack was suddenly thwarted, losing three thousand men in this attack, and most of those who survived were confused. At this time, the Northeast Red Army began to attack, at first a little jerky, and then more and more skillful, at this time the Japanese commander was entangled, if it was the commander of the Sickle Hammer Society, in the face of such a powerful firepower, it must be to avoid its edge, hiding in the mountains and forests and waiting for an opportunity to threaten the opponent's supply line. But the Japanese commander, who only had the attacking in his head, did not even have the courage to announce the retreat at this time, because once the retreat was announced, as a defeated soldier, his career as an officer would be over. In the end, the Japanese commander made the right decision to dig bunkers on the spot. It is a pity that there is more training in Japanese defensive tactics, and they will definitely be ridiculed by their colleagues, who cannot dig up qualified bunkers in a short period of time, and under the continuous infiltration operations of the Sickle Hammer Society and the harassment of snipers, the two divisions are in a predicament of imminent total annihilation. Finally, a week later, the two division commanders burned the wing flags, raised their command knives, and made a final charge, and the two divisions were completely annihilated in a burst of machine guns and explosions.
6 The Sickle Hammer Society is very hilarious on the ground, but at sea the Sickle Hammer Society is facing strong pressure, and now the Sickle Hammer Society Navy has a total of 25 carp and 4 silver carp, and the total tonnage of the Navy is less than 80,000. Facing Japan, which had a battleship. No matter how much new technology the Chinese Navy uses, it is not capable of playing a decisive battle with an enemy whose artillery caliber is three times its own.
It is very important to make use of the strengths and avoid the weaknesses, since the Japanese navy can not be eliminated, then the huge local naval superiority is invalidated, the powerful combined fleet is dispatched, the combined fleet is the absolute hegemon in East Asia in this era, the battleships of tens of thousands of tons of steel break the waves in the sea like a suspended steel wall, the huge turret carries a murderous aura, and the steel mast proclaims the arrogance of the cannon of the giant ship, this is the battleship. But Kato Dingyoshi, who commanded the fleet, frowned. Because his target was hiding in the natural harbor of Qingdao, facing two fortresses built on high mountains, the Japanese fleet could not carry out effective artillery bombardment on the place where it looked up, and under the bombardment of fortress artillery of the same caliber, a Russian battleship captured by the Japanese was hit, and the 7,000-ton heavy cruiser was hit by shaped armor-piercing shells and ignited a fire, and ten minutes later, the ammunition exploded and sank. After the two 6 wars, 3,000 Navy 6 squadrons went and never returned.
Kato Dingji was very helpless in the face of the Qingdao fortress, Qingdao with a large number of support was simply impossible for Japan to attack, the Qingdao fortress in the hands of the Sickle Hammer Society was far more difficult than the Qingdao fortress in the hands of the Germans, and the tonnage of the battleships in the hands of the Japanese was ten times more, and the number of troops in the 6th Deng6 reached 300,000 before this nail could be pulled. Qingdao is difficult but Gabon must stop here, the role of the navy is to ensure the sea transportation line, the small fleet in the harbor of the Sickle Hammer Society has no ability to fight a decisive battle, but it poses a strong threat to Japan's sea supremacy, and the geographical location of Qingdao, Shandong Province is a thorn in the Japanese navy's southward movement.
Qingdao could not be defeated, Weihaiwei Lianyungang was the same, the concrete armor of the fortress cannon was far thicker than the armor of the battleship that was required to float on the sea, and a month after the war, the Sickle Hammer Society was pushing on the Korean Peninsula with great triumph, and Japan still blocked the coastal line of the Sickle Hammer Society. At this time, Cheng Pan observed the battle damage report, and saw that Japan had sunk three overseas merchant ships of the Sickle Hammer Society, and then nodded and said, "It's time." Gao Yun asked at this time: "Chairman, the Japanese minister has come to discuss the end of the war for the third time, do I arrange a meeting?" Cheng Pan shook his head and said: "This war is not over yet, I still have cards to play, how can it be over." "Comrade Liu Shi" Liu Shi stood up and said, "Yes." Cheng Pan said: "The eviction plan can begin. Liu Shi said: "Guarantee to complete the task." "Chen Fan," Cheng Pan said. At this time, Chen Fan also stood up, "I'll leave it to you to break the relationship." â
March 13, 1915 was the day when the world's military experts were blinded. If the navy can't threaten the port cities of the big 6 countries, its utility will be weak, and if the opposite side is still an island country that lives on the sea, then the big 6 countries will make a lot of money. At three o'clock in the afternoon of this day, Gabon was still blockaded, and China's coastal line knew that Gabon had little hope of winning this war, and now it was relying on its own navy to maintain a peace in the process of blockading China. Suddenly, Gabon looked up at the dazzling sunlight in the sky, there was a buzzing sound in the sky, a large group of black spots and black pressure flew in the direction of the sunlight, Gabon judged for the first time that this was not a bird, the "air raid" alarm quickly spread throughout the fleet, as Japan, which aspires to become a world-class navy, closely watched the exhibition of the big six countries on the west coast, as early as after the appearance of the aircraft of the Kamaka Society, the Japanese Navy put forward a plan to empty the air. Because of the shortage of ammunition, the machine guns of the 6th Army were insufficient, and the navy could only install a few heavy machine guns on each battleship as much as possible to rebuild anti-aircraft fire. Western military experts have suggested that aircraft made of wooden wire skins are fragile as to how to prevent them. A machine-gun strike was enough. However, as the larger and larger group of planes showed their figures, Gabon's current planes seemed to be shining with metallic luster, and they felt bad in their hearts, and the three hundred aircraft metal planes began the first round of bombing, due to insufficient preparations for the war, Cheng Pan had not yet come up with a torpedo that could be airdropped, and now he could only make do with bombs. Machine guns were firing in the sky, and the sparse bullets were far less powerful than the anti-aircraft fire of the special warships in World War II in later generations, and the Chinese all-metal planes also made key protection near the motive and the pilot, and the whole pilot was like sitting in a semi-enclosed metal bathtub. Then the dive bombardment began, and the armor of the battleship was mainly concentrated on the sides against the battleship, and the Japanese Navy never expected that the wooden deck would also be bombed. In the First Sino-Japanese War, Japan used picric acid to almost beat the Beiyang Fleet into a torch, giving Cheng Pan a very good idea, aluminum powder white phosphorus incendiary bombs, napalm bombs were dropped by a large number of fighters, at this time the foreign affairs observers on the Japanese battleships poured blood mold, China has never scrupled about foreign affairs observers in the Sino-Russian war with the Eight-Nation Alliance and Northeast Asia, especially the Sino-Russian war, China's planes look at the gorgeous clothes worn by observers from various countries and think it is an important target, and half of the casualties are killed and injured in a shuttle, None of the observers from various countries in the Sino-Japanese War participated in the observation of the Japanese Sixth Army, and it was thought that the Japanese Navy had an absolute advantage and that this was a safe observation post, but when the incendiary bombs fell, these observers were mutilated by poisonous smoke and high-temperature flames. A U.S. Navy officer scolded: "The damned three-headed dog of hell is setting fire again." â
At this time, the Japanese warships could be said to be black smoke, and the anti-aircraft fire points had long been named, and the fire melted the steel and the bridge began to collapse. Gabon reluctantly scraped off a piece of flesh stained with gasoline with a saber, and ordered: "Evacuate, evacuate" The whole air raid ended quickly, but before it was over, ten minutes later, when the battleships began to flee, another wave of bombers began to fly over, at this time, some planes with incendiary bombs began to look for targets to add fire to the battleship with small flames, and other planes with high-explosive bombs began to bomb, and the battleships that had been softened by the fire and the steel structure encountered high-explosive bombs, and the effect was twice as effective with half the effort, and the fire spread throughout the ship with the impact of high-explosive bombs. At this point, the last wave of planes began to make up for it
After the bombardment, the small ships lost seven, the cruisers sank three, the battleships sank two, and the rest of the ships were wounded in different ways, and a third of the battleships were no longer necessary to be repaired. Based on Japan's current steel production, the Combined Fleet no longer has the ability to continue repairing operations. At this time, the North Sea Fleet of the Sickle Hammer Society rushed out of the harbor that had been blockaded by Japan for a month. Chen Fan, as the commander of a destroyer fleet, will definitely not play such a dangerous game as beating a half-crippled battleship, the Japanese fleet is home, and it is time to bully merchant ships, and the Sickle Hammer Society drew a blockade circle against Japan at sea, and for a time Japanese merchant ships were sunk in large numbers, and several merchant ships flying the British flag were also sunk in this sea area.
The seemingly powerful Japanese army was as beautiful and magnificent as the Qing army before the First Sino-Japanese War, but it was fragile, and at this time the war of energy in the Far East began.
