A region near the province of Gan.
Headquarters of the Third Army Group.
Chu Yun Fei, the Red Alert Army Commander, had thick eyebrows and big eyes.
Chu Yun Fei sighed and said, "The Japanese commanders are very smart... They deployed their troops in the Gan province, where the river network is dense! To prevent our heavy tanks?"
Chu Yun Fei put his hands behind his back, "General Lin predicted this long ago, and transported secret weapons."
The secret weapon was the V1 missile!
The V1 missile was developed by the Germans, similar to the famous V2 medium-range missile. The V1 missile was 7.6 meters long, weighed 2.2 tons, and had a range of 370 kilometers!
370 kilometers means it can cover multiple provinces!
The V1 missile can cover the entire Gan province!
Chu Yun Fei smiled mysteriously.
Chu Yun Fei and his subordinates went to the V1 missile launch site.
There were dozens of vehicles and steel rails, along with modified V1 missiles equipped with radio-guided precision.
Boom—
Whistle—
Poof—
A series of bright red flames shot up into the sky as the missiles launched.
…
Jiangxi Province, also known as Gan Province, covers 166,000 square kilometers. It's known as the land of fish and rice in the south, with over 2,400 rivers of various sizes, including the Poyang Lake, a freshwater lake.
Jiangxi Province has a dense network of rivers, making it unsuitable for heavy tanks to cross.
Forty thousand Japanese troops were concentrated at the confluence of several rivers.
Sakurai Shozo, commander of the Japanese 33rd Division, used binoculars to observe the sky!
"The Red Alert's air force, their biggest advantage, hasn't moved! We're safe for now!"
"The Red Alert's heavy artillery and tanks can't cross the dense water network, we're safe for now!"
The commander of the 33rd Division was Sakurai Shozo.
The commander of the 34th Division was Ban Kenyu.
As they exchanged a smile...
Boom boom boom.
Deafening explosions, and balls of fire appeared on the Japanese positions.
One V1 rocket after another exploded.
Each bomb exploded with a force of two tons, and the warhead contained 0.75 tons of explosives.
The Japanese troops were caught in the blast radius, falling to the ground, shaken to death!
The Japanese positions were not fully constructed, resulting in heavy casualties. Thousands were killed in the first wave alone!
After a few minutes came the second wave, mixed with poison gas bombs. Those who weren't killed by the explosions suffered a more gruesome fate, dying from the poison gas, their noses and mouths decaying.
Sakurai Shozo, commander of the 33rd Division, gasped, staring in disbelief at the battlefield.
"Baka!! The scouts reported that the Red Alert hasn't entered Gan province. How can they attack us from hundreds of kilometers away!"
"Could it be that the Empire is also developing a flying bomb, something that can fly hundreds of kilometers through the air?"
"Baka! Casualties have exceeded ten thousand!"
Sakurai Shozo, commander of the 33rd Division, and Ban Kenyu, commander of the 34th Division, were both excellent commanders. They were confident that in this complex water network battlefield, they would be able to kill and annihilate a large number of Red Alert troops.
The Japanese were quite adept at tunnel warfare and trench warfare, but Lin Zheng didn't give them the chance.
Instead, he struck from beyond visual range!
Hundreds of kilometers of attack range!
Missile saturation bombing!
High explosive and poison gas coverage!
As time passed, the 40,000 Japanese troops on the positions were almost all killed by the poison gas.

In an office
Lin Zheng was sipping a cup of coffee.
Sitting before him was a man wearing glasses and a military uniform.
He was Long Yun, known as the King of Yunnan. Long Yun was an important figure in the Republic of China, commanding 100,000 troops. He founded the Yunnan Military Academy, and owned a mint, an arms factory, a power plant, a cement factory, and other light and heavy industries. He was one of the warlords of the Republic of China.
Long Yun had three opportunities to change sides in his life, and each time he chose the right one.
Long Yun said, "General Lin! Thank you for accepting me! From now on, I will reject Chiang Kai-shek's orders."
Long Yun's political acumen had always been keen. The Red Alert Legion's combat power was simply too strong, and now he had witnessed the war firsthand, seeing the missiles bomb the Japanese troops in Gan province from hundreds of kilometers away!
It had overturned Long Yun's worldview!
What did hundreds of kilometers mean!!
It meant that his life and death were in Lin Zheng's hands! And he believed that Lin Zheng had weapons that could cover not only hundreds of kilometers, but also farther distances, such as weapons that could cover the whole continent, weapons that could cover all the countries involved in World War II...
Long Yun, wearing glasses, sat on the sofa with an air of composure.
Long Yun said angrily, "General Lin, Chiang Kai-shek is a worthless son, a scoundrel! He heard that I was coming to visit you and sent his secret agents to assassinate me several times."
After cursing Chiang Kai-shek for a good while, Long Yun, thinking about the war against Japan, said, "General Lin, if possible, please help me reorganize the Yunnan Army and join the war against Japan. I, Long Yun, aspire to one day ride into Tokyo!"
