In Linyi City, the armored troops were clearing the way in front, and loudspeakers were also playing along the way. "Our army treats prisoners preferentially and surrenders its guns without killing them. I advise the brothers in the Zhizhi Army in the city not to resist stubbornly and seek death. They should put down their weapons and use both hands." Hold your head and surrender."
The people in the city were all hiding in their homes. They were trembling with fear when they saw this big iron lump with metallic luster through the windows.
What the hell, when the tracks crunched and rolled over, many people felt the ground in their homes shaking. After all, Xie Mantou weighed 30 tons.
Just as the armored troops were slowly advancing in front of the military camp in the city, "Bang! Bang! Bang!" the sound of heavy machine gun fire rang out, and bullets hit the tanks and flames flew everywhere.
"Hey, you guys, you dare to resist now without running away, isn't it good to be alive?" In the tank cabin, the commander shook his head helplessly.
"Gunner, remove that firepower point for me!"
"Yes, Commander!"
The gunner doesn't want to be a butcher, but if you want to die, what can you do? God can't save you.
"A quick-fire grenade ~ ready to reload!"
The loader took out the shell and inserted it into the barrel with a "bang!" sound, and closed the breech. "Loading completed"
The gunner turned the turret and aimed at the bunker hidden in the dark that was still spraying flames. "Brothers, do you want to snipe? I have a 75mm." After that, he stepped on the firing pedal.
"boom !"
Under the bombardment of the 75mm tank gun, the bunker was instantly wiped out. The scene was filled with smoke and dust, and bricks and stones were flying everywhere. Most of the remaining Zhizhi troops in the barracks had already fled, and the remaining people hurriedly surrendered upon seeing this.
"Brothers from the Patriot Army outside, we surrender. We are all Chinese. Don't shoot."
"Yes, you said you would surrender and not kill us. We surrender, so don't fight!"
After saying this, hundreds of disgraced and ragged straight soldiers limped and trembled out of the dilapidated military camp, supporting a large number of wounded soldiers.
There were also broken troops coming from all directions in the city, because they found that the city had been blocked for a long time, and they couldn't escape at all. What else could they do to save their lives if they didn't surrender?
What's more, when Chinese warlords are fighting among themselves, the losing side, whether it is a general or an ordinary soldier, will basically not kill you as long as you are willing to raise your hands and surrender.
As an ordinary soldier, today Marshal Li, who you have followed for several months, has been overthrown. It has nothing to do with it. Marshal Wang will recruit you tomorrow.
So there is no need to fight to the death. We are all fighting our own people, so why be so stubborn?
"Throw away all the weapons on your body. Except for the wounded soldiers, the rest of them raise their hands to me!" The murderous soldiers of the Patriot Army quickly took over the scene with weapons in hand and the deterrence of armored vehicles and tanks.
Not long after, hundreds of Dodge WC trucks and White T666 heavy trucks loaded with soldiers began to enter the city. This was the follow-up force outside the city.
Two jeeps came in the convoy. Lin Yi jumped out of the car and glanced at the prisoners around him. He found that there were only about a thousand people: "Commander of the regiment, please keep the remaining soldiers in front of me where they are. The wounded soldiers can be bandaged." For treatment, the remaining troops will form squads and continue to search for the remaining broken troops in the city!"
The division chief of staff added: "Let the searching soldiers pay attention. These broken soldiers hiding in the city may have weapons. Be careful that they jump over the wall in a hurry. We will not show mercy to those who resist in the corner and kill them on the spot!"
The leader of the first regiment stood at attention when he heard this: "Yes, Master, I will let the remaining people start the search."
After Lin Yi thought for a moment, the signal soldier said: "Immediately send a message to ask the second and third regiments whether they have captured Zaozhuang and Rizhao City now. Don't delay me, we will continue to advance tomorrow."
"Yes, Master!"
After the communications troops left, division chief of staff Tan Ling said: "Master, you have to have confidence in our 1st Armored Division. With our current strength, it is as easy as eating and drinking to control any warlord in China."
Lin Yi smiled and expressed his acquiescence.
Yes, armored divisions are the main combat force of the Patriot Army. Each armored division has more than 2,000 combat vehicles of various types. Among them, the divisional armored regiment has 130 medium tanks and 70 light tanks.
The entire division has approximately 757 light and heavy machine guns. Not counting rocket launchers, there are 367 artillery pieces of various types. This does not include tanks and armored vehicles.
With this kind of firepower configuration, if Sam Country were to see it, their jaws would probably drop.
Van Fleet had to instantly transform into a little fanboy, kneel down under Lu Xiaojia's pomegranate skirt, and beg hard: "Father of China, please cover the Dafa with your firepower and transmit it to my little brother quickly."
On the other hand, the local garrison brigades of the Chinese warlords have already racked their brains to equip them with all old-fashioned rifles. If they are lucky, they can still get a few heavy machine guns. As for the artillery, that is simply wishful thinking.
With this weak firepower configuration, it basically poses no threat to tanks and armored vehicles. When encountering Lu Xiaojia's armored division, there is no other way but to attack.
After all, China's industry was really backward, especially the lack of heavy weapons such as artillery. This also caused the Chinese soldiers in the previous life to be beaten so hard by the artillery fire of the Fuso Army during the Anti-Japanese War that they could not hold their heads up.
"Master, how long will it take for the garrison division sent by the Commander-in-Chief to arrive? We will continue to advance tomorrow. We can't bring these prisoners with us!" Tan Ling couldn't help but ask. After all, they will continue to advance tomorrow. We can't leave people to guard the prisoners.
Just as Lin Yi was about to reply, there was a sudden movement under his feet. The original dirt road disappeared, and a brand new asphalt road appeared under his feet.
Everyone present was a little confused at first, but somehow they felt that the appearance of this road was very reasonable. Needless to say, this must be the work of the system.
At this moment, Lu Xiaojia was staying at the Jinling Security Headquarters. After locking the attack routes of various units of the Patriot Army, he directly placed the roads and railways issued by the system through the combat map.
Connect the six provinces of Fujian, Gan, Anhui, Shandong, Yuhuai and Huai.
Lin Yi took the hot tea from the orderly, "No problem, the 3rd Garrison Division stationed in Xinyi, Huai Province has already set off this morning and has been following our army. It is estimated that they will arrive before dark. "
…
At the same time, the 1st and 2nd regiments of the 1st Armored Division also easily captured the two garrison brigades of the Zaozhuang and Rizhao City armies of Shandong Province with overwhelming force.
To deal with these small warlord forces, the 1st Armored Division did not even bother to call for air force support, because it was simply unnecessary and a pure waste of aircraft fuel.
The nearly a thousand Fusang people who remained in Rizhao Port all gathered together in fear after receiving the news that the Patriot Army had taken over Rizhao City.
Since the Treaty of Shimonoseki and the Treaty of Versailles, the Fusang people have completely turned the Jiaodong area of Shandong into the back garden of the Fusang Kingdom.
In the small Rizhao Port, there is actually a full squadron of the Fuso Army stationed.
At this moment, under the command of the squadron leader, Lieutenant Zehao Boxiong, the squadron quickly entered combat status.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
With the roar of the engines, seven Sherman T40 organ tanks and three Sherman H5 Spitfire tanks, after ascertaining the enemy's situation, drove into Rizhao Port openly and headed towards the Fuso residential area.
"Baga, these Chinese people have no bushido spirit and actually used tanks to attack us." Zehao Boxiong put down the telescope tremblingly.
Zehao Baoxiong knew that it would definitely die today. The squadron under his command only had grenade launchers and light machine guns, which could not threaten the tanks of the Patriot Army at all.
Zehao Baixiong issued the attack order in despair, "Warriors of the empire, we cannot let the Chinese people underestimate us. Please give me a shot!"
The nine Taisho 11-year-old light machine guns deployed in advance on both sides of the camp aimed at the tanks, firing at full fire, and the nine Taisho 11-year-old grenade launchers huddled in the dark also began to fight back.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
"Boom!"
The 7 Sherman T40 organ tanks in the front dispersed in the face of the hail of bullets, and then aimed at the Fuso residential area and the Fuso garrison camp.
"Brothers, watch the fireworks show!"
After that, the tank commander pressed the button with a grin, and the 20 M8 182mm rockets loaded on the Sherman tank turret roared out.
"Choo Choo Choo!"
In an instant, 140 rockets rained down like hailstones like a swarm of demons dancing around, rapidly falling on dozens of fuso cabins.
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
The ferocious explosion shook the heaven and the earth, and the fire followed the shock wave, pouring out like water, greedily devouring the lives of all the Japanese.
Among them, 20 rockets fell on the upper camp of the Fuso Army. Dozens of fireballs exploded with smoke and dust. Countless Japanese soldiers were cut off from the waist by the hot shrapnel. The shock wave unscrupulously tore their bodies apart, leaving their heart, liver, spleen, lungs and other organs intact. The device squeezes out of the body.
Under such fierce firepower, any resistance from the Fuso Army was as ridiculous as moths flying into a flame. Most of the Japanese in the residential area had no time to escape, and they were bombed without leaving any bones or dregs.
Of course, there were only a few Fuso people who survived such a violent explosion.
A Fuso soldier climbed up from the ruins with his body covered with bruises, blood and minced meat spurting out of his mouth, and he said vaguely, "Tian Nong Heika, onboard!"
The machine gunner in the Sherman tank would not be accustomed to saying, "I'll put you on board!" He controlled the coaxial machine gun, aimed at the Fuso soldier and pulled the trigger.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
Four coaxial machine guns fired at the same time. This Fuso soldier who loved "onboard" ate 2 kilograms of bullets and disintegrated it on the spot, turning it into a pile of minced meat.
The tank commander continued to issue the order, "The fire-breathing tank will attack me now and burn all the objects symbolizing Fuso."
Three Sherman H5 fire-breathing tanks received the order and ran directly into the ruins. Using the POA-CWS vehicle-mounted flamethrower installed next to the tank gun, they aimed at the ruins and sprayed a nearly 90-meter flaming dragon.
The flames expanded its claws like a whirlwind unbridled, making the combustible objects in the ruins crackle, and the scorching tongues of fire seemed to be able to devour everything.
There were a few surviving Japanese who thought they could escape by hiding in the ruins, but they didn't expect the Patriot Army to play this trick on them.
This time, their whole bodies were ignited by napalm, and the intense burning pain caused them to howl and get up, rolling on the ground, trying to extinguish the flames on their bodies.
Seeing this, the commander joked over the radio: "Haha, don't shoot and let them burn slowly. In this way, when we go out in the country, we can tell people that I have many friends, even if we have acquaintances in Fusang."
