Tashan Region
The Tashan region is located in the western part of Jinzhou. The mountain's soil is soft.
Its strategic position is particularly important, as it directly connects to Jinzhou.
In order to secure Tashan, the Japanese directly deployed a division, the 27th Division.
The Japanese 27th Division was expanded from the Garrison Infantry Brigade and had previously fought in Hebei.
With a full complement of 18,000 men, it had artillery, engineer, and transport units ready.
More than 18,000 men dug trenches in the soft soil of Tashan. Due to a lack of wood and cement, their defenses were in shambles.
…
Five Han-class cruisers, each with a displacement of 15,000 tons, were on the sea. These cruisers were equipped with three 280-millimeter naval guns and vertical missile units.
The Han-class cruiser was a military deterrent type warship.
Because the 280-millimeter naval guns were very noticeable in photos!
They served as a deterrent to Britannia-Gaul, Germania-Hawk, and others.
In the cruiser's captain's quarters, Captain Hai Dafu broadcast his voice: "We have plenty of shells! Fire all your shells at Tashan!"
Boom boom boom -
Boom! Boom! Boom! -
The five cruisers on the sea fired their 280-millimeter naval guns simultaneously, each at a rate of six rounds per minute! The 280-millimeter naval guns fired with terrifying deafening roars.
One shell would create an enormous crater.
The craters were dozens of meters in diameter!
They covered an area the size of a football field!
The 27th Division's positions were completely covered. Division commander Fu Yong Xinzheng called for cover!
All the trees in the 27th Division's positions were blown to pieces from the roots and collapsed, burying the trenches, destroying the forts, and detonating the artillery positions.
The 27th Division experienced a nightmare beyond compare, a naval bombardment from the sea!
A total of 500 shells landed on Tashan, reducing the Tashan position by 5 meters.
Of the full complement of 18,000 men, more than half were killed or injured, leaving only about 7,000 men, and the ground was littered with mangled corpses.
…
The Tashan position the next day.
Fu Yong Xinzheng held a command saber, his face bitter.
The adjutant beside Fu Yong Xinzheng read from the telegram: "The General Staff's reply: Fu Yong Xinzheng promoted to Major General, you must defend Tashan, the south gate of Jinzhou!"
Fu Yong Xinzheng gave a wry smile and told the adjutant to send a farewell telegram to the General Staff.
He had already lost 10,000 men, victims of this naval bombardment nightmare.
The Han-class cruisers on the sea were named Han Gong, Han Wen, Han Shan, Han Sheng, and Han Qing. These five cruisers had fired over 200 tons of shells!
As the naval firepower extended from the sea, the strongest concrete fortifications built on the mountaintop were shattered, and the 27th Division's main peak position collapsed!
！！！！
Four Red Alert divisions surrounded them from four directions, and the 27th Division could only despair and make a desperate last stand to break through the encirclement.
With fewer than 200 casualties, the four Red Alert divisions wiped out 18,000 Japanese soldiers, successfully reached the top of Tashan, and planted the Red Alert flag on the peak of Tashan.
…
Red Alert Base
In the office.
Lin Zheng: "The navy and army have successfully captured Tashan by coordinating with each other?"
"Over 200 tons of naval shells were consumed, leveling the Tashan position by 5 meters!"
"18,000 Japanese soldiers from the 27th Division perished on Tashan!"
Lin Zheng rubbed his chin.
The Tashan region is soft soil, unable to build complete shelters and fortifications.
The area on Tashan is narrow, and it is difficult to hide from naval bombardment when stationed there.
Lin Zheng thought that in history, the Rabbit Army could defend the Tashan position and fearlessly withstand the bombardment of the Chongqing's 152-millimeter naval guns because Tashan wasn't a mountain, the people were the mountain, and thousands of people helped dig trenches.
Lin Zheng now had over 200 tons of naval shells for each salvo, backed by over a hundred gunpowder factories.
The Red Alert base had a mineral refining plant, a truly miraculous factory.
The raw materials for gunpowder are potassium nitrate, sulfur, and charcoal. The most important raw material, potassium nitrate, is found in Chile and the Yellow Land, but there are still balanced potassium nitrate yields in other parts of the world.
Smokeless gunpowder, nitrocellulose, nitro-petroleum, Lin Zheng, who owns vast territory, could easily obtain them!
The advantage is on our side!!!
"The main explosive is TNT, and the main source of potassium nitrate is in Chile. In the future, if we occupy Chile, our gunpowder production will increase significantly."
In Lin Zheng's technological laboratory, C4 explosives can be mass-produced.
C4 plastic explosive is a plastic explosive, consisting of 91% RDX, which can be molded into various simple shapes and requires a detonator for safe detonation.
C4 has four main uses.
First, to destroy Japanese bunkers, bridges, hangars, and ammunition depots.
Second, to make improvised mines and improvised explosive devices to blow up the Japanese!
Third, C4 bombs can be used to make anti-tank mines that can destroy World War II-era heavy tanks and even modern tanks.
Fourth, C4 bombs can be used by special forces in special operations.
Lin Zheng's Red Alert laboratory has also achieved mass production of RDX. RDX, also known as cyclonite, has 1.5 times the explosive power of TNT and is known as the third generation explosive!
Lin Zheng used various explosives to assemble bombs, stored them in warehouses, and prepared to... send warmth to the Japanese mainland!
