In the early morning of April 3, the sky turned white, and Dai County, surrounded by Hengshan and Wutai Mountains, looked peaceful and peaceful.
At eight o'clock sharp, tens of thousands of artillery fire were fired from the Anjiajun position, and the ancient city wall of Dai County was suddenly shrouded in artillery fire and gunpowder smoke.
Lieutenant General Kuangmu Chongming, the commander of the 110th Division who returned to Dai County overnight, was hiding in the hidden soldier cave in the ancient city wall to the east of the county seat. He was in a very depressed mood. Tojo Hideki asked him to lead his troops to stick to Dai County, but yesterday afternoon he mixed up independently
The 43rd brigade was all "broken into pieces", and an independent artillery brigade was also buried together. Attack Yanmen
In the past few days, at least one-third of the three regiments of the 110th Division were killed in the battle, and almost everyone else was injured. Now Sangmu Chongming only has two regiments in his hands at best, plus the independent mixed first regiment.
How can the three brigades of the 57th Brigade, with a total strength of less than 10,000, fight against the Chinese army with heavy firepower and fully mechanized equipment?
Listening to the seemingly never-ending heavy artillery bombardment, Sang Mu Chongming let out a long sigh, stood up and walked quickly to the observation hole. When he saw the overwhelming shells falling to the ground and exploding, his heart became cold.
At 8:30 in the morning, the shelling finally came to an end.
The ancient city wall could not withstand the bombardment of high-intensity artillery fire and had collapsed in many places. When the sound of artillery gradually stopped, the Japanese and traitors who emerged from various collapsed bunkers did not find the densely packed ant-like crowd charging.
What appeared in their field of vision were rumbling tanks and anti-aircraft artillery vehicles, rushing towards the gaps in the city walls at high speed.
Artillery shells came again. This time, they were shells fired by small-caliber mortars covering the tank attack. They fell into the city wall one by one, exploding countless dust and smoke, and the flames rose up. The violent explosion sound, and then
Once the brief silence was broken.
The tanks attacking in battle formation were getting closer and closer to the gap in the city wall, and they fired at the targets they were interested in.
At this moment, the enemy's anti-tank firepower suddenly became powerful. One tank after another stopped attacking, bursting into flames and bursting into flames. The enemy's machine gun fire also began to fire at the anti-aircraft artillery vehicles. There were twelve anti-aircraft artillery vehicles.
The chariot lost control, rolled over and fell to the ground, burning and causing a violent explosion.
Why did the Japanese suddenly have anti-tank firepower? It turned out that they used a few 88 anti-aircraft guns to directly bombard the tanks. War makes people mature, and many methods were forced out. The enemy generals realized that with limited anti-aircraft guns,
There was no way it could pose a threat to the Anjia Army's air force, so they simply hid themselves and left tanks specially designed to deal with the Anjia Army, not wanting to have a miraculous effect.
This sudden change caused the battle to pause briefly. Soon, under the accurate guidance of aerial reconnaissance aircraft, the Anjia Army's heavy artillery troops quickly suppressed the enemy's anti-tank firepower.
As artillery fire covered the western city wall of Dai County, more than ten enemy anti-aircraft guns flew into the sky in the explosion. The tanks resumed their advance again, charging forward while firing to clear all obstacles.
Following the order from Major General Ni Xianrong, the commander of the 17th Division who was responsible for the assault mission, a large number of troop transport trucks followed the tanks and anti-aircraft artillery vehicles and charged towards the gap in the city wall.
Looking from the sky to the ground, hundreds of trucks launched a group charge. The scene was very spectacular. Each troop transport truck was like a tiger out of the cage, dragging trails of dust and smoke as it marched forward bravely.
However, this is just a glamorous appearance. The soldiers sitting in the high-speed impact of the troop transport truck felt extremely bad. They clung to everything in the vehicle that could stabilize their bodies, but they were still like soybeans in a frying pan.
Collising left and right with the rhythm of the vehicle, swaying unsteadily.
The ordeal was finally over. The truck stopped, and the soldiers jumped out of the truck regardless of their physical discomfort. Under the cover of tank fire, they formed a battle formation and charged into the city.
It was the first time for the Japanese to see this kind of assault method, and they were a little at a loss. They had never thought that someone would actually use a truck to carry out an assault. Many people's surprise ended abruptly when they found that their comrades around them were shot and killed - because they
He was also shot and fell down.
The forty-ninth brigade in front quickly gathered the heavy weapons companies of three regiments and nine battalions to seize the commanding heights of the city wall. The heavy weapons companies were equipped with twelve mortars and nine 12.7mm high-level dual-purpose machine guns. Once the nine companies
Concentrate fire suppression on the city wall at the commanding heights of the city. The power can be imagined.
The enemy was helpless in the face of such long-term and large-scale firepower preparations, tanks charging in groups, anti-aircraft artillery vehicles and troop transport trucks following up at high speed, and infantry and artillery cooperating with infantry and tanks in coordinated operations.
Under the super high pressure of Anjiajun, the area within two hundred meters of the west city wall was quickly cleared.
Street fighting and jungle fighting have always been considered the two most brutal forms of combat, but Anjiajun’s daily training includes street fighting and jungle fighting, which are no strangers to the soldiers. In the battle from house to house
, the soldiers quickly found the feeling, they never forcefully attack someone
If you can get around it, go behind it and hit it. If you can't get around it, call for nearby tanks to destroy it. In street battles where the opponent has effective counter-weapons, the tank is almost a moving target. However, when the opponent does not have effective anti-tank weapons, the tank is almost a moving target.
At that time, it was majestic and arrogant.
As more and more troops rushed into the city, the battle situation in Dai County rapidly tilted in favor of the Anjia Army.
To the north of Dai County, the New Fifth Division, serving as a secondary offensive force, also broke through the outer defensive positions of Dai County. Four hours after the attack on Dai County started, it broke into the city and formed a flanking attack from the west and north with the 17th Division.
.
The fighting in Dai County continued until the early morning of the next day. Except for a small group of Japanese soldiers who offered sporadic resistance, Dai County had returned to the embrace of the motherland.
There was an episode in this battle. Before Lieutenant General Sangmu Chongming committed suicide at his headquarters, his sword was taken away by the soldiers of the Anjia Army who suddenly appeared. For the first time, the Anjia Army captured an enemy lieutenant general in battle.
...
At ten o'clock in the morning on April 4th, Minshan Airport in Xufu.
An Yi quickly walked down the gangway and said to Chang Baofang, the head of the General Logistics Department who greeted him and saluted him: "What's so urgent? Last night, all the Huangpu brothers had a gathering, and I was made drunk by Huang Jie, Song Xilian and their grandsons.
Originally, I wanted to find an opportunity to have a good talk with Dai Li and Gu Zhenglun today to coordinate the work of the Fourth Department, the Military Command, and the Military Police Investigation Bureau, but after being urged by you, I had to come back first."
Standing behind Chang Baofang, Deputy Minister of Logistics Zhang Yang stepped forward and saluted An Yi, then curled his lips:
"What is the coordination? Unless we are willing to share all our intelligence with the military command and the Military Police Investigation Bureau, otherwise we will be in a competitive relationship. Dai Li used to come to stay in the Xu Mansion almost every month, but now he has not come for half a year...
.Isn’t our equipment department in charge of infrastructure? I passed by his villa two days ago and saw that the porch was covered with spider webs and the courtyard
It was overgrown with weeds, and I don’t know when the grandson actually fired the servants and gardeners he hired. I later asked him about the shares he was given in Luzhou Textile Group, and he hadn’t received a penny in the past six months.
, obviously trying to alienate us. When I was in decline in my early years, I would approach you with a shy face, but now that I have gained the attention of the Chairman, I deliberately keep my distance from us, what the hell.”
An Yi was a little surprised. After thinking about it carefully, he understood that Dai Li was now in charge of the military command and acted as Chiang Kai-shek's eyes and ears. If he was still closely related to the Xu government, the suspicious Chiang Kai-shek would definitely not allow An's army to have two pieces of information. Organization, it was only a matter of time before Dai Li was taken down. Therefore, it is understandable that he chose to keep a distance from the Xu government.
Thinking of this, An Yi smiled and comforted: "Forget it, it's going to rain and my mother wants to get married, let it go... Baofang, you haven't said anything yet!"
"Boss, let's get in the car and talk slowly!"
Chang Baofang came to the big leopard SUV with military c0008 license plate with red letters on the white background, opened the door, waited for An Yi to get in, and Shen Fengdao got in after sitting in the passenger seat. Zhang Yang, who finally got in, closed the door. .
Guards sent by the Central Security Bureau entered the vehicles at the front and rear respectively.
Now Lin Yaodong is specifically responsible for the work of the Central Security Bureau. He is no longer with An Yi. The former Thirty-six Iron Guards have taken over the task in a different shift. Li Tao is now in charge of the security work.
The motorcade started to move. Looking at the busy and noisy streets on both sides of the road, An Yi was a little surprised: "Why has the city expanded to the airport now?"
Zhang Yang nodded: "Yes, now Xufu has accommodated too many technologically advanced westward-moving enterprises, and Caiba Town is also considered a prosperous urban area. From here to the south, in the area of white-tiled houses, is the Wynn Company The factory area. Wynn Company is a leading company in the three acid and two alkali industries. In 2025, Wynn Company pioneered the Solvay alkali production method. In 2026, the company's 'Red Triangle' soda ash won the first prize at the World Exposition held in Philadelphia, USA. Gold Medal: In 1932, Wynn Company announced to the world all its technology and practical experience in alkali production. In 2033, Wynn Company established an ammonium sulfate plant, which was successfully tested in Nanjing in 2036. Last May, Wynn Company All the factories were evacuated to the west. They built a Wynn Sichuan West Chemical Factory near Wutong Bridge, established Wynn Sichuan South Group in Xufu, and established a branch of the group in Ziliujing.
"This company is amazing. At the beginning of this year, their chief engineer Mr. Hou Debang improved the Solvay process for alkali production and designed a new joint alkali production process. The ammonia plant and the alkali plant were built together, and the ammonia plant provided the alkali plant needs. Ammonia, carbon dioxide, and sodium chloride in the brine are crystallized by adding salt, which is called a chemical product or fertilizer. The salt solution can be recycled. In this way, the utilization rate of salt is suddenly increased from 70% to 96%. %, it also converts the originally useless calcium chloride into the chemical fertilizer ammonium chloride, which solves the problem of calcium chloride occupying land, destroying farmland and polluting the environment. Since Wynn Company disclosed its technology to the alkali production company of our Sichuan South Group for free, We have benefited a lot from it!”
An Yi was surprised and moved, but more than anything, he was regretful: "From the perspective of all mankind in the world, Wynn Corporation can be said to be a model of selflessness, but from the perspective of a country, a nation, or even an enterprise, I don't agree with this." Do it! You must know that this kind of hard-working process also requires a large amount of capital investment. In this way, the results will be handed over to others, so how to recover the research costs? For the sake of a mere reputation, the long-term development path of the enterprise is cut off. Is it worth the effort?”
Zhang Yang felt like a confidant: "I also think this is not good. When did the British, Americans, and people from a certain country make their research results public? It is obvious that this technology can be used to improve China's production capacity of three acids and two alkali.
Make our national enterprises competitive internationally and bring unprecedented success to China's acid and alkali industry
There are development opportunities, but if they make this public, the whole world will know that the Americans can rely on their strong strength to significantly increase their acid and alkali manufacturing capabilities. There is also a country that has also benefited from the selflessness of Wynn Company.
I made a lot of money, but now I'm afraid the results have been turned into guns and used on the Chinese."
An Yi nodded: "Has Wynn Company made their new alkali production method public?"
"Not yet!" Zhang Yang shrugged: "They are still summarizing technology and experience. After summarizing, they will write a paper and publish it in English in an American academic weekly."
An Yi frowned: "We must stop this self-righteous behavior of so-called bringing honor to the country! I will call the National Security Department and the Fourth Department will jointly go to Wynn Company to enforce the law. They will be moved with emotion and reason. If they turn a deaf ear,
Just scare them, of course, people must be protected
Okay, don’t make fun of it! Think about it, if Americans or a certain country obtains this technology, with its strong industrial foundation and scientific research strength, it won’t be long before they completely surpass us, and our acid and alkali industry will face another challenge.
What a disaster! Sometimes, being patriotic can also harm the country!"
