The Fourth Disaster, Starting from the Movie Eight Hundred

There was just one small problem. When Captain Xie saw the Japanese searchlights and lights, he immediately ordered his artillery to fire a few shots to ignite their sentiments. In the past, the Japanese army could do this to bully the national army because they had no long-range weapons, but Captain Xie had a lot of weapons in his hands, and those Japanese soldiers who used searchlights were buried along with the searchlights.

This also indirectly shows how arrogant the Japanese army was. They even felt that they could bully the national army at will. Even if they violated regulations and disciplines, it was no big deal. The other side didn't even have a searchlight.

However, the battlefield will educate every stubborn person. Haven’t you seen that the Japanese soldiers who are now surrounding the Sihang Warehouse are all very law-abiding and act according to the rules? The slap in the face from reality will make them understand how to survive efficiently on the battlefield.

As a result, a very funny scene appeared. The reinforced battalion of the 1st Battalion of the 524th Regiment of the 88th Division led by Captain Xie, a force with 800 people in name but only 450 people in reality, was in a stalemate with the elite 3rd Division of the Japanese Army.

Even from the perspective of political performance, this battle was fought very beautifully and brought out the spirit of the Chinese people.

But most people also believe that this resistance was tragic and heroic, and that the final outcome of these 800 brave warriors must have been their annihilation in the Sihang Warehouse. With the awareness of "breaking through the enemy lines and dying", they shed their blood on the land beneath their feet.

They have persisted long enough, and it is time to rest.

So has the KMT taken any action?

Yes, there were. The Chairman still used the same method and asked Captain Xie to lead the team to retreat into the concession. But after entering the concession, these people's mission was completed. It is the honor of a soldier to be loyal to the party and the country. Anyway, the Chairman felt that he did a good job.

Disgusting, bah, disgusting!

Historically, Captain Xie and his men held out for five days, but in this parallel world, the presence of players disrupted the Japanese army's strategic deployment, forcing them to re-consolidate their front and adjust their forces despite the absence of an elite division (the 6th Division was almost completely wiped out). As a result, the defenders of the Sihang Warehouse held out from October 26th to November 29th, more than a month in total, and the resulting international public opinion impact was unprecedented.

If the small Sihang Warehouse could hold out for a month, then the entire Chinese land...

The Japanese headquarters no longer dared to think about it, so they demanded that the Third Division must annihilate all 800 brave warriors and then execute them in the most cruel way to completely destroy the Chinese people's will to resist.

To put it simply, we can't break into the front line.

But what no one expected was that Captain Xie and his men broke through.

In the early morning of November 30, 1937, a deafening explosion woke up the residents on the other side of the Sihang Warehouse.

"What happened?"

"Could it be that the Japanese are attacking?"

"Look across the river! The Sihang Warehouse is on fire!"

Countless eyes on the other side of the river looked towards the location of the Sihang Warehouse, but the Sihang Warehouse, which was the outbreak point, was still standing. Instead, the Japanese positions opposite were struggling in the smoke and explosions.

At this time, the Japanese army was completely confused. They really couldn't understand where these shells came from. Such fierce shelling meant that there must be heavy artillery units of the National Army nearby, but they had already turned the area upside down. If the National Army had the ability to hide such a large-scale artillery in this situation, they could retake Shanghai at any time. The early battlefield would not have been so ugly.

Moreover, after this level of bombardment ended, how would the artillery be moved? Did the Nationalist Army not want them anymore? When did they become so arrogant?

They didn't understand, didn't know, and weren't clear about it, but the only ones who could think this way were the Japanese officers who were in the Japanese command headquarters and temporarily in a safe area. The Japanese troops on the front line simply didn't have the extra energy to think about so many things. They were all trying their best to avoid the artillery fire, even though it was useless.

After all, when the bombing began, most of the Japanese troops were resting, and only a part of them were on duty. No army would require everyone to be fully prepared for combat at night. That would be equivalent to indiscriminately consuming the morale and energy of the entire army. The correct approach is to take turns on duty and combine visible and hidden sentries.

Therefore, the Japanese soldiers who were lucky enough not to be killed in the first wave of bombing could only try their best to ensure their survival. The fierce artillery fire made movement impossible, which would only make them die faster. The grassroots Japanese officers could not play any role at this time. They were also hiding, and there were very few people around them.

After all, gathering together will only make the enemy's bombing more cost-effective.

"Mr. Liu, is this the support you promised?"

At the gate of the Sihang Warehouse, Captain Xie, who had already prepared to break out, stared at the flames outside in amazement.

Based on his knowledge, this level of terrorist bombing would require at least an artillery division to carry out. The question is, is there an artillery division hidden around Shanghai now? Or a heavy artillery division?

Obviously it's impossible, but what if it's a divine method?

It seems very possible. In his eyes, Liu Qi has become more and more mysterious and tall.

"How strong is this?" Liu Qi asked with a smile.

It was natural that the Japanese army could not find the artillery positions. There was no such thing as artillery at all. All the fire support came from small-caliber naval guns in high-dimensional space. From the perspective of the real world, it was like a batch of artillery shells suddenly appeared in the sky and flew towards the ground. It looked like a bug in Earth OL.

"I feel like I can break through by singing." Captain Xie said with a smile.

"Alright, this fierce bombing is just your accompaniment. Break out quickly. We'll see you in Nanjing."

"See you in Nanjing!"

Captain Xie saluted Liu Qi, and then began to command more than 450 brave warriors to break out.

They are not immortal like the players, but they have the determination to fight to the death that the players do not have. In addition, their weapons and equipment have been configured to an incredible level by Liu Qi. Although they were a group of light infantry when they came to the Sihang Warehouse before, they are now a group of mechanized infantry.

Looking at the land of China at that time, the national army led by Captain Xie had a relatively high average level of knowledge. Although they were the tallest among the short ones, they at least had some technical soldiers, such as those who could drive cars.

Don't laugh, driving a car is indeed a technical job, and this is even more so for car drivers on the battlefield. As for more advanced tank drivers, there are some, but not many, and their training is a joke. It's good enough that the Kuomintang can ensure that these people can drive tanks. You know, the Kuomintang armored forces must be equipped with air, have air technology, and have air training. In actual combat, friendly forces must stay away from them to avoid being crushed to death.

Otherwise, why is it said that infantry-tank coordination is a highly valuable configuration for great power wars? Tanzania has only learned to let its infantry follow tanks and fight a dull battle (don't even mention infantry-tank coordination, that's shameful), and it has already been able to sweep away its two neighbors. Real infantry-tank coordination is a very difficult task. -p

It was precisely because he was aware of the knowledge and cultural level of the national army that Liu Qi finally chose to equip them with armored vehicles.

The Soviet Union's BA-3 armored vehicle is not a wheeled armored vehicle in the strict sense. The reason why Liu Qi chose one for them is very simple. It is easy to operate and maintain, and it has a 45mm gun, which is sufficient for both anti-armor and anti-personnel purposes.

The other cars were also armored, but most of them were equipped with machine guns, with the ratio of the two being one to three.

It would be too slow to reach Nanjing on foot, so it would be better to just use wheels. The weight of less than six tons and the maximum highway speed of 70 kilometers per hour are just right for the current period of the Republic of China. If it is too large, the land environment in the south and the road infrastructure capacity of the Republic of China, which is almost backward, will definitely not be allowed to pass.

So, under the stunned gaze of all the forces in the concession, Captain Xie rushed out of the Sihang Warehouse with a convoy of armored vehicles and rushed towards Nanjing. In contrast, the Japanese army was trembling under the unimaginably powerful bombing.

Many Shanghai residents expressed their incomprehension of this scene. The Sihang Warehouse is indeed large, but it is not large enough to accommodate hundreds of armored vehicles. Also, when did our country's artillery become so powerful?

Not only did they not understand, but Western observers who had been observing this war also expressed their incomprehension. The military attachés in the embassy in the concession kept speculating on various possibilities, but they could never come up with a reasonable explanation.

"Could this be the mysterious power of the East?"

How should I put it, this kind of blind guess is actually closest to the truth (funny).

In this way, Captain Xie became completely famous, because the people of Shanghai saw him lead hundreds of armored vehicles to break through successfully under the cover of fierce artillery fire that came from nowhere, with sparks and lightning all the way, leaving the audience with only a back figure that was so handsome that they could not catch up at all.

The Battle of Sihang Warehouse thus turned into the Battle of Sihang Warehouse Breakout, and the elite Japanese Third Division failed to stop it!

Chapter 10: It’s time to grab the meat!

In this world, there are different levels of shame.

It’s okay to embarrass yourself the first time, there will be opportunities later.

It doesn’t matter if you embarrass yourself the second time. After all, every failure makes you wiser.

The third time, the embarrassment was directly thrown on the fool, which was truly unbearable.

To the Japanese army, the national army was just a group of "fools".

It must be admitted that there are a few elite soldiers in the National Army who can fight, but after these people were diluted into the huge size of the National Army, they basically became embellishments on cow dung. No matter how good-looking they are, they are still a pile of cow dung.

If the decline of the Kuomintang encouraged the arrogance of the Japanese government, then the decline of the National Army directly encouraged the Japanese army's arrogance. I feel that this opponent is not worth relying on, and is just a dead bone in a grave. I can reach out and capture it.

But now, they have suffered heavy losses at the hands of the national army several times.

It was clear from external propaganda that the Nationalist army had retreated in a panic and our army was pursuing them fiercely, but when it came time to clean up the battlefield, we were defeated by Lao Liu who popped out of some bush, twice!

If it were just that, things would not be a big deal, after all, deceiving superiors and concealing the truth from subordinates is also a characteristic of the Japanese army. But the problem is that this time the Japanese army on the front line is good at using the tactics of the subordinates to overthrow the superiors, which is not effective, because someone in Japan has been making a big fuss about the tragic situation of the Imperial Army on the Chinese battlefield, and has also attached a large number of photos and lists of casualties, as well as a fairly comprehensive report.

No one knows who did it. In any case, the various newspapers in Japan did not respond. But these things appeared inexplicably in various places in Japan, and then spread at an alarming speed. Now a lot of Japanese people have gathered together to "punish the traitors" against the incompetent upper-class "non-citizens".

Hirohito was even more furious. He rarely cursed out loud during the imperial meeting, completely disregarding his manners. This shows how serious the matter was. It is no exaggeration to say that it was a disgrace to the Imperial Army.

Immediately afterwards, two instructions came down from the base camp:

First, the Kuomintang troops that broke out of the Sihang Warehouse must be eliminated.

Second, find the elite Kuomintang troops who had caused the Sixth Division to be annihilated (the term "annihilation" appeared in advance).

The Emperor was furious. This was no longer a problem between the Japanese Army and Navy, but a problem for the entire Japan. Although even in this situation, the Japanese Army and Navy were still at odds, their intelligence departments in Luozi also began to act.

The Army's "Investigation Department", the Navy's "Sea Electronics Team" (don't complain, it's indeed called that), and the Special High Technology Department being deployed to the occupied areas all got involved. It was a chaotic scene.

It is worth noting that the main work of the Special High Technology Bureau is internal, that is, intelligence work in Japan and the occupied areas. They are better at infiltration and sabotage. Many Japanese special forces who can speak Chinese were trained by them.

In addition, there are various Japanese consulates. There is no doubt that they are Japan's spies in China. The embassies and consulates of various countries are all public intelligence departments, but the means of collecting intelligence are different.

The Japanese army on the front line could not find the elite national army, but they were moving towards Nanjing.

The Japanese army was still able to locate the defenders of the Sihang Warehouse, and the task of destroying them fell on the Third Division. They had to avenge their defeat with the death of the enemy.

So at dawn, Japanese planes took off for reconnaissance and quickly locked onto the location of Captain Xie and his group.

The Japanese Ki-32 reconnaissance aircraft has a traditional wooden biplane layout. This type of aircraft would be considered industrial waste in Europe, but in China

Can you imagine that such a thing with a maximum speed of less than 280 kilometers per hour can actually carry out light bombing missions? If the National Army was equipped with more heavy machine guns, the Japanese planes would not dare to be so arrogant.

But who can blame the Kuomintang for being a thousand-year-old piece of trash that was able to shut down the steel mill during the war? No one did anything about it (shrugs).

However, Captain Xie's troops are no pushovers. Liu Qi has fully equipped them with various weapons and ammunition, including the classic Lao Gan Ma heavy machine gun and the Little Mustache chainsaw, so the advancing armored convoy is actually an iron hedgehog.

The Japanese reconnaissance planes in the sky don't know this. They think they can easily bully the National Army troops who have no air defense capabilities and are currently trying to escape with all their energy. Although their weapons are only equipped with a 7.7mm machine gun, the Imperial Army soldiers must have a fearless fighting spirit and can do whatever they want on board!

"At three o'clock, the Japanese planes."

"I saw it."

The Japanese reconnaissance plane that was about to lick the ground and pick up French fries was immediately warmly received by more than ten heavy machine guns, including 12.7mm

The caliber is as thick and hard as the black uncle to the wooden fuselage of Ki-32. Facing the big stick from the American beasts, the poor little plane soon turned into fragments that fell to the ground.

By the way, for the Ki-32 reconnaissance aircraft, the radio is an optional equipment.

Yes, some Ki-32 reconnaissance aircraft do not have a lock, and coincidentally, the one that was shot down did not have a lock.

In other words, he had no ability to immediately report the location of Captain Xie's troops. After discovering the enemy, he had to fly back to report the situation. For the Kuomintang troops, who were generally mobile on two legs, the time for going back and forth was definitely enough, and they could not run far. But for the 524th Regiment, which was equipped with all armored vehicles, it took a long time to run back and forth. What's more, the plane had been shot down, and if it didn't return, they had to wait for other reconnaissance planes to report back before they could get specific information.

Of course, the Japanese army could not have sent out only one reconnaissance plane. Soon, a second reconnaissance plane discovered the location of the 524th Regiment led by Captain Xie. However, this guy's brain circuit was exactly the same as the previous idiot, and he also "bravely" did a similar thing. Then, when he was about to pick up French fries at low altitude, he was torn to pieces by the barrage of Lao Gan Ma.

The Showa Japanese army may have had enough courage, but their brains were indeed not very useful.

What was even more frustrating was that the Japanese army only sent out three reconnaissance planes, all of which were Ki-32s without radios. There was no trace of the 524th Regiment on the flight route of the third plane, and the reconnaissance encountered abnormal weather interference during the reconnaissance (this is what visual reconnaissance is like), so it had to return empty-handed, wasting an entire day.

How should I put it, the matching mechanism in the East Asia region is sometimes quite confusing.

However, the Japanese army, which had more advanced equipment, obviously had a greater tolerance for error. The next day, they successfully entangled the 524th Regiment, and a brutal open-air massacre was about to begin.

But at this moment, a number of I-16 fighter jets suddenly flew out of the sky.

Historically, the I-16 saw very little combat in the Kuomintang zone, and its numbers were small. Furthermore, the Soviet Union was unable to provide aid to the Kuomintang government after 1941. However, compared to other fighters used by the Kuomintang army, the I-16 can be considered advanced. It certainly couldn't compare to the Zero, but it could easily outperform any other Japanese aircraft.

Because the I-16 had no protective armor, and the Japanese army's main aircraft models were all naked.

At this time, the Soviet Union's aid to the National Government was just beginning to take shape, and the I-16 was still on the way. It was not until 1938 that it really came into play. However, this did not prevent Liu Qi from releasing this strategy to the players in advance.

Well, isn’t “Age of War” mainly about real virtuality and virtual reality? Can players fly planes?

Under normal circumstances, players who look at a bunch of dashboards will definitely not cheat, but it doesn’t matter, the game has training copies, and there are various weapons for you to choose and use at will.

This allows players who like World War II weapons to indulge in their addiction.

But the training in the training copy is not paid, so it is impossible for players to practice with pay.

Even so, the players still enjoyed playing it, and in this joyful atmosphere, with countless crash experiences and battle experiences, the first batch of air combat Brahman players grew up quickly.

Yes, players only have three days of training, but their initial flight time exceeds forty hours.

For the pilots of the Republic of China at that time, this was a very luxurious treatment, because the players' flight time was not long at all.

It's a water-based version, and it starts with a real-combat version, a life-and-death PK with real guns and live ammunition.

Due to limited time, the training mission (which rewards points) issued by Liuqi is to become an I-16 fighter pilot.

Unlike the real battlefield of the Battle of Shanghai, it is a virtual battlefield, so it doesn't matter how players mess around. The only loss is a little bit of power, but it is definitely real enough. If players are given an I-16 in reality, they can fly it directly.

However, this kind of collision without the transition of training aircraft and the direct entry into actual combat directly led to the players' crash rate, which even India was amazed at. In reality, players crashed more than 3,000 planes in the first hour.

It doesn’t matter. There is no death cooldown in the training copy anyway. If you die here, the training ground will reopen immediately over there. I’m here again, look at my amazing skills!

It may also be a brain-palliative operation, anyway, get the point ╮(╯▽╰)╭.

Under such intense training, players who couldn't keep up naturally quit, but the achievement-seeking and determined hardcore players still persevered, and quickly gained experience through constant deaths and crashes, from the initial "dying at the first encounter" to "being able to fight against hostile AI."

It is worth noting that all the ace enemies here are benchmarked against Japanese aces and Japanese equipment. It can be said that players already have enough understanding of the Japanese air force.

Although there were only forty players who passed in the first batch, there were more than a hundred who were close to the passing line.

This is equivalent to having more than 140 fighter players who cannot die on the battlefield and are refreshed every day.

As the three-day update period came to an end, players flocked into the dungeon again. However, this time the first players to receive the mission were the fighter players. They had to cover the breakout of the National Army's 524th Regiment (the Sihang Warehouse Hero Regiment).

"Holy crap! The 524th Regiment at the Sihang Warehouse has broken through!"

"The Anti-Japanese Hero Team, we must help out!"

"Attention everyone! Players with a pilot's license can enjoy two free aircraft vehicles per day. Once activated, you can directly participate in the battle. Hurry up!"

"Holy crap! Two free flying vehicles. I'm so jealous.

"Don't be envious. The training in this game is all realistic, using real guns and ammunition. If you can get a pilot's license in the game, there's a good chance you can get one in real life, too."
