On February [-]th, Valentine's Day in the Western Continent, the Hualan Army, which had been besieging Miyazaki Castle but had not launched an attack, finally made a move.Taking advantage of this time, the Hualan Army's offensive troops surrounded the entire city outside the city, digging a large number of trenches and traffic trenches meticulously, and used them as the starting position for the army.
Just after dawn this morning, the Hualan Army's position became busy. A large number of tanks and armored vehicles began to warm up, preparing for the ensuing attack.Because the Hualan Army's mechanized equipment has generally changed from gasoline engines to diesel engines, while the power is stronger, it also makes it much more difficult to ignite the engines, especially in the early mornings of winter when the temperature is very low.
The busyness of the Hualan Army's position immediately aroused the vigilance of the Kurume Division of the Japanese Army. Under the warning of the sentry, all the troops entered their positions, and all the commanding heights and traffic arteries in the city were manned. It looks like you are facing a big enemy.
However, the Hualan army didn't seem to be in a hurry to attack. They were still overhauling and launching vehicles, and the logistics department distributed ammunition, making sufficient preparations for street fighting.The Japanese army's attention was drawn to the direction of the Hualan army's position, and no one noticed that huge figures were approaching in the early morning mist by the sea.
The first thousand and 110 chapters seven ship bombardment
Cheng Biguang stood on his flagship Xi'an, looking at the shadowy coastline in the mist with a smile on his face.Having served as the commander of the Lanfang Republic Fleet for so many years, he felt that his idle bones were about to rust.This time Zhao Shouhong finally thought of him, giving this former veteran of the Northern Region Navy the opportunity to fight against the Japanese and vent his years of grievances, which made him feel extremely comfortable.
The 66-year-old Cheng Biguang knew very well that he should retire after this battle. This time, it was Zhao Shouhong who specially recalled him in order to give him a taste of his long-cherished wish. He was full of gratitude for this.Thinking back to the helpless defeat of the Northern Navy, these naval officers and soldiers could not hold their heads up for many years, and how many people died of worry and anger.Unexpectedly, since the rise of Zhao Shouhong, he has regained the disadvantages in the navy little by little, and even saw the direction in the tide of naval reform, implemented corner overtaking, and established the strength of the Hualan Navy on the aircraft carrier in one fell swoop.
Taking advantage of the aircraft carrier, the Hualan Navy will become stronger and stronger, and will eventually send the entire Japanese United Fleet to the bottom of the sea.Although Cheng Biguang is a loyal supporter of the cannon giant ship doctrine, he also has to admit that the role of the aircraft carrier is becoming more and more prominent, and the position of the future ocean hegemony may change hands.
Thinking of this, he looked at the three Zhongchuan-class battleships behind the flagship. These are the essence of the Navy of the Lanfang Republic. He brought them here this time in the hope of rectifying the name of the battleships.
"Take off the reconnaissance plane, start aerial reconnaissance, and calibrate the main gun." Cheng Biguang gave an order, and the four battleships ejected their seaplanes one after another.After taking off, the four seaplanes divided into four directions and rushed towards the four areas of Miyazaki City. Immediately after that, four more planes took off and went to the city for reconnaissance respectively.
These eight seaplanes will conduct systematic reconnaissance of the entire Miyazaki City, while looking for valuable targets for the battleship force.The fleet itself is moored eight nautical miles away from the coastline. The entire fleet is lined up, aiming at the direction of the port of Miyazaki Castle with the side, and the sailors are busy, aiming, loading, checking equipment, doing All pre-war preparations.
"Cormorant No. [-] calls the Bird's Nest, and Cormorant No. [-] calls the Bird's Nest. The distance is [-], the direction is [-], and a large ammunition depot of the Japanese army is found." The seaplane in the air has begun to send back valuable information.The gunnery officer immediately used the computer to calculate the ballistic data based on the results of the aerial reconnaissance and sent it to each main gun turret.Based on these data, the gunners quickly turned the turret to raise the muzzle, and made all preparations for battle.
Several seaplanes sent back information one after another, and all four battleships found their targets.Following Cheng Biguang's order, dozens of [-]mm main guns fired in unison, and the sky was covered with light trails of bullet tails.The howling sound like the neighing of wild animals filled the world, wrapped in deadly shells, rushing towards the unaware Japanese army.
The head of the Japanese army division, Lieutenant General Jingu Fansan, is staying in his underground command post, looking at the one-50th military map, considering the defense situation of Miyazaki Castle, hoping to find out the weakness of the Hualan army and win the battle in one fell swoop. Of.Suddenly he heard some unusual voices, Jingu Fan Sanzhong's expression froze, and he yelled in his heart that it was not good.
Before he could give any order to deal with it, dozens of large-caliber shells had already fallen into Miyazaki Castle.This time, all the bullets fired were armor-piercing explosive shells, and the targets were mostly important ammunition depots and food warehouses in the city, as well as those important military sites with strong fortresses.These places have the ability to defend against the bombardment of artillery with a caliber of 150 mm or less, and have excellent survivability.
It's a pity that these so-called survivability and anti-strike capabilities are like a thin layer of paper in front of sixteen-inch shells.When the first shell hit the reinforced concrete dome of the Chengnan ammunition depot, the outer hood was smashed and fell off, while the back cap made of tungsten alloy was deflected [-] degrees with the help of the warhead protrusion, and directly hit the thick shell. Reinforced concrete up to half a meter.
The back cap shattered directly under the huge impact, but it also caused a huge crack in the concrete.The body of the armor-piercing blasting projectile squeezed through the crack and sent the projectile into the ammunition depot.The huge artillery shell accurately hit the neatly stacked mortar shells, causing a huge explosion.
The shell charges were detonated along with the mortar shells, and huge flames spewed out, igniting everything around them.The shock wave hit the wall back and forth in the airtight ammunition depot, and itself was continuously strengthened. This chain reaction quickly turned into a catastrophe.
With a loud noise, all the Japanese felt the tremor of the ground under their feet, as strong as a magnitude [-] earthquake.Under the attack of the hood and armor-piercing projectiles, the Kurume Division's largest ammunition depot for storing shells in the city suffered a devastating blow.The explosive ammunition shot up into the sky, forming a huge fiery red mushroom cloud, which could be clearly seen dozens of kilometers away from the city.
Everyone looked at the explosion in surprise, not knowing what happened, but these things happened one after another.Large-caliber shells penetrated the dome one after another, destroying warehouses one by one, but the Japanese army had no time to move.
After only three rounds of bombardment, with the help of reconnaissance planes and computers, the main guns of the four battleships destroyed [-]% of the shells and [-]% of the grain stockpiled by the Japanese army in the city. situation.
Lieutenant General Kanaya Fansan, who received the loss report, looked ashen. He knew that the Kurume Division was over, and he could not hold the city at all.Under the threat of the battleship cannon, he didn't even have the strength to resist.
Jin Gu Fan San was right in thinking, the battleship's attack continued, but the Hualan Army's attack never started.After destroying most of the obvious targets in the city, the battleship began to diffuse.Anyway, this is a city in the Japanese country, so it doesn't feel bad even if it is broken. In order to increase its power, the naval guns even replaced the armor-piercing blasting bombs with incendiary bombs using picric acid explosives.
Picric acid used to be a yellow fuel with flammable and explosive properties. It was used by navies of various countries to gradually replace black powder as artillery shell charge 30 years ago.However, the explosive power of this kind of charge is much worse than that of the current explosives, so this kind of shell has been phased out in the navy and replaced by nitroglycerin explosives and TNT explosives.The reason why the current navy still has stocks is probably because picric acid is flammable and can emit a lot of poisonous smoke, and it is used as a cheap incendiary bomb.
The first thousand and 110 eight chapters burn, white phosphorus bomb
The original Western Special Zone, today's Hualanguo has a well-developed chemical industry. Relying on the rise of marine chemical and petrochemical industries, it can produce various unique plastic products.Soda ash and chemical fertilizers have the highest output in the world. In addition, the varieties of spices and dyes are also very complete. This kind of trinitrophenol is produced by nitration of phenol in chemical factories. At present, it is mainly used to make dyes and medicines. Shell charges are but a very small part of the wide range of uses for this product.
The Hualan Fleet quickly put this kind of incendiary bomb into use. The picric acid shells that fell into the city could ignite a flame at a temperature of [-] degrees Celsius, accompanied by the generation of poisonous smoke that irritated the mucous membranes, bringing shockwaves to the Japanese army and the people in the city. Here comes the secondary injury.
For Cheng Biguang, this shell has another special meaning.In the late Jin Dynasty, during the Sino-Japanese War of Sino-Japanese War provoked by the sneak attack of the Japanese, the two sides fought a fierce naval battle in Dadonggou in the Yellow Sea, which was called the first Dadonggou naval battle in history.
In that naval battle, the elite navy of the Northern Territory was wiped out. In addition to the problems of old ships and insufficient shells, another important factor was the shells of the Japanese.At that time, the shells used by the Beiyu Navy were all filled with black powder, and the explosion power was not strong. Even if they hit the Japanese warships, they could not cause too much damage.
On the other hand, the Japanese navy, their shells were filled with Shitase gunpowder. Although the explosive power did not increase much, they could ignite a fire on the warships of the Northern Navy. Three warships finally sank because the hulls were burned out by the fire. .The Shitase gunpowder used by the Japanese Navy at that time was actually picric acid.
Cheng Biguang's memory of this kind of ammunition was still fresh in the humiliation experience back then, and this time he had the opportunity to return the humiliation to the Wa country, so he carried these shells with him.He wants to use the same weapon to retaliate against the Wa country, and return the shame in the Dadonggou naval battle, together with the threat of death, to the Wa people.
A large number of picric acid shells were shot into the city, causing continuous fires, and yellow-green poisonous smoke scattered everywhere, making it impossible for firefighters to come forward to rescue.Soon, even the Jiujiang-class cruisers with sufficient range in the fleet also automatically used [-] mm caliber main guns, and began to cover the city with intensive artillery fire.
In Miyazaki Castle, which occupies a small area, there are traditional wooden houses of the Japanese people all over the place. These woods, which are extremely easy to catch fire, became the culprit.The picric acid continuously ignited these buildings, and the whole city quickly became a scene of fire.
The officers and soldiers of the army watched a free performance, seeing the whole city caught in the fire, many people were amazed.The power of naval naval guns is indeed much greater than that of army artillery. Seeing such a strong shelling effect, many people have changed their past views of despising the navy.
The land attack was not launched, and the Kurume division had been killed and wounded, and the entire Miyazaki Castle and 30 Japanese civilians were buried with them.The Hualan Army easily wiped out the Kurume Division and occupied Miyazaki Castle, if the burnt ruins could still be called a city.
The destruction of Miyazaki Castle has greatly shaken the rebellious sentiment in various parts of the country, and it has also made the officers and soldiers of the Kumamoto Division panic all day long.The army seemed to have taken inspiration from the navy, and immediately sent a large number of incendiary bombs to the troops surrounding Kumamoto.
Sun Liren, who commanded the battle against Kumamoto City, never showed mercy to his opponents. These incendiary bombs were quickly sent to the artillery units to carry out the task of covering the city with firepower.Instead of picric acid incendiary bombs used by the Navy and napalm bombs used by the Air Force, the Army uses its own unique white phosphorus incendiary bomb.
The weapons of the three services are different, which is determined by the actual situation.Army artillery cannot store shells as smoothly as warships. They usually have to deal with rough terrain, and it is inevitable that shells will suffer bumps.Under such turbulent conditions, they are naturally insensitive to the picric acid charge, which is easy to explode under severe vibration.
Although napalm bombs are cheap and easy to carry, they also have a weakness, that is, they are prone to incomplete combustion in a small space due to lack of air circulation, thereby reducing their power.The air force can make up for the lack of power through large-scale intensive bombing, but the army's shelling is difficult to do, so they need a very efficient and safe incendiary bomb, and white phosphorus bombs are their best choice.
White phosphorus has the characteristic of spontaneous combustion in the air. When it burns, it can not only reach a high temperature of more than [-] degrees Celsius, but also fully burn in a space with low air density or too small a space. This is very important for street fighting.
Usually, white phosphorus bombs place the white phosphorus incendiary container in the middle of the bomb, wrapping the priming column made of nitroglycerin explosive in the central explosive tube, and wrapping a thick layer of yellow phosphorus and white phosphorus mixture around the column.After such a charge is stuffed into the shell cavity, it is also filled with a burning material called triethyl thermite around it as a combustion aid for the incendiary bomb.This kind of combustion aid is very powerful, and it can usually ignite many difficult-to-burn substances, and can multiply the power of white phosphorus incendiary bombs.
When the powder column with the air-detonation fuze is detonated tens of meters in the air, under the action of the projectile of the explosive, the incendiary, yellow phosphorus and white phosphorus materials are scattered and splashed.Yellow and white phosphorus spontaneously ignite in air, igniting the thermite material and causing a violent burn.
In order to increase the effect, some viscous colloidal gasoline is specially added to the external materials of these incendiary bombs, so that the incendiary agent can stick to the human body and various equipment, causing the greatest lethal effect.The Sixth Division of the Japanese Army ended up even more miserable. Under the attack of the army's special white phosphorus incendiary bombs, Kumamoto Castle suffered the same catastrophe as Miyazaki Castle.The white phosphorus incendiary bomb with stronger burning ability and greater power made many Japanese people feel miserable.
As long as there is a little flame, it can no longer be extinguished. Those Japanese people can only watch themselves being burned to death, but there is no way to save them.In such a terrifying situation, everyone lost the will to resist, and the people rushed to flee towards the seaside away from the Hualan artillery, hoping to avoid the attack of incendiary bombs as much as possible.In the Japanese army, many originally fanatical militaristic soldiers also quietly took off their uniforms and threw away their rifles, and fled among the common people.
Facing a war where the death situation was horrific but there was no way to fight back, the morale of the Japanese officers and soldiers had inevitably plummeted.The Japanese army retreated step by step, while the Hualan army followed up step by step.The infantry cooperated with tanks and armored vehicles to clean up the remaining resistance forces in the city and cleared enough space for artillery.
The first thousand and 110 chapters nine international pressure
As the protagonist of this siege battle, the artillery unit followed suit, slowly moving towards the city, and ravaged the entire city with incendiary bombs.With no hope of victory, and the Hualan people did not protect the city and civilians at all, Lieutenant General Hikosuke Fukuda, the head of the Sixth Kumamoto Division, finally chose to commit seppuku suicide, and the chief of staff, Major General Kashii Kohei, led the remaining more than 6000 The officers and soldiers raised their hands in surrender.
This is the first time in the history of the Wa Kingdom that an organized army surrendered. It proves the low morale of the Wa Army and seems to indicate that the Wa Kingdom will have an alternative ending.In fact, after the resisting Miyazaki Castle was completely destroyed and more than half of Kumamoto Castle was burned, the resistance of the Japanese people suddenly declined. Take firm control of Kyushu Island.
The progress of the Hualan Army is extremely smooth, but because of this method, the country has endured huge diplomatic pressure. Together with the Saar Empire and the White Eagle Kingdom, some western mainland countries have sent a letter to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to protest the Hualan Army. an act against humanity.In order to eliminate the negative international influence, Gu Weijun had to personally meet several ministers.
"Your country's incendiary bombs do not discriminate between soldiers and civilians. It is a bit too much to carry out devastating blows to cities. I hope your country can restrain itself and prevent the international community from panicking too much." White Eagle Minister Mark Momo, although the first However, in view of the good relationship between the Western Special Zone and the White Eagle Country, his words were very tactful.
"The Hualan army's fighting methods are naked barbarians. You launch wars in disregard of international justice, which is evil and unjust." Compared with Makmo, Minister Sal Lampte's emotions were much stronger.
Gu Weijun rolled his eyes at him and asked back: "According to what Minister Plante said, the Sargaul allied forces attacked the Hualan Kingdom, burned and killed the capital, and destroyed the famous Old Summer Palace in our country. What you did was just child's play. What's more, Mr. Minister seems to have not figured out one thing. This time the war started because of the Japanese country. They fought without declaring it first. How did it become us to start the war? I doubt your thinking now. Sober, whether negotiations should continue."
Gu Weijun is not polite at all. With the current national strength of Hualan country, there is no need to be too polite to these countries in the western mainland. This is the confidence possessed by a powerful country.
Lampter rolled his eyes angrily: "In any case, this crime against humanity cannot be tolerated."
"It's really strange. The Wa Kingdom has repeatedly attacked the Hualan Kingdom and massacred our people. The Saar Empire has never stood up and accused the Wa Kingdom of crimes against humanity. Now we have returned the color, but you suddenly jumped out. I doubt it The Saar Empire implements double standards in international affairs, which is inconsistent with your country's status in the international community, even if it will affect your country's interests." Gu Weijun is not afraid of the Saar Kingdom's minister, even if the Saar Kingdom government is furious again, It is also impossible to go to war against Hualan, because they have no chance of winning in the Eastern Continent.
"Don't be impatient, both of you. Minister Lampte has a bit of a temper, but what he said is true. The Geneva Convention clearly stipulates that civilians cannot be attacked. Minister Gu should pay attention to this." Markmo is here because he is afraid of both sides The war started, so he was in the middle and muddy.
Gu Weijun nodded and said: "Although Hualan is not yet a party to the Geneva Convention, we are willing to abide by this war treaty. The previous combat method was a retaliation for the persecution of our people by the Japanese country over the years. This is understandable. But since everyone The minister objected, and we would like to guarantee that this drastic method will not be used in the future, at least not against civilians."
Seeing that Gu Weijun gave face so much, Makmo was relieved, and at the same time he was generally pleased with Hualan Kingdom's knowledge.It's a pity that Minister Lampte obviously didn't understand the situation. He thought that Hualan Kingdom was weak and deceptive, and chose to back down under his threat. He immediately made new unreasonable demands.
"I am here to meet Minister Gu, and I have another mission on my shoulders." Lampte took out a document from his purse and said, "This is an official diplomatic document signed between our country and your country. Many regions have been ceded to the Saar Empire, and the treaty ports have been opened. I hope that your country can comply with them as soon as possible.”
Gu Weijun frowned and said, "Our country has never signed such a treaty. I think Minister Lampson must have made a mistake."
