Rebirth of the Republic of China: The Rise of China

On the battlefield outside Gaomi City, after a whole day of drowning, the battle for positions has completely entered a white-hot state. [Source of this book] Whether it is the remnant of the security division or the remnant of the No.11 Brigade of the Japanese Army, facing a battlefield full of blood and corpses everywhere, the eyes of those who have already been killed are red.Facing the enemy, all you can do is tense your nerves, mechanically pull the trigger of the weapon in your hand, and use the bullets in the chamber to shoot the opponent to death on the battlefield.

Once again repelling the attack of an infantry squadron of the Japanese army, an infantry company that had just entered the position for defense directly paid the price of more than half of the casualties.

More than 50 remnants, according to past experience, took the wounded, and under the leadership of the company commander, hurriedly withdrew from the position, preparing to avoid Japanese artillery fire.What puzzled all the officers and soldiers of China and Japan on the battlefield was that the artillery support from the rear of the Japanese army did not arrive on time as before...>

"What's going on, is it possible that the little devil is ready to retreat when he sees that the position cannot be attacked for a long time... >

"I don't see it. Judging from the attack just now, the Japanese army has already seen that our troops are out of strength. Now retreat, unless the Japanese commander on the other side is a fool..."[

"It must be clear that the Japanese army has already paid a huge loss of at least 300 people in this position in a day's battle...>

"In that case... so what's going on. By the way... >

Just as his words fell, a burst of hurried footsteps came directly.The telegraph operator at the regiment headquarters of the third regiment of the security division was holding a telegram.He stood in front of the two with an excited face and reported.

"Reporting to the delegation, Commander Zhang, an urgent call from the division...>

"Read...>

"After half an hour of fierce fighting, the garrison division one regiment and the cavalry battalion have successfully captured the Japanese army's logistics position and two artillery positions. From now on, my garrison division will no longer be hit and suppressed by Japanese artillery fire...>

Hearing this, the faces of the two of them immediately showed incredible expressions.but.After this expression disappeared in a flash, it was immediately shrouded in surprise.

They knew that the No.11 Brigade of the Japanese Army in front of them looked very powerful.However, once it loses its artillery and supplies, it will be in front of the entire garrison division.There is no advantage at all...>

"Old Wang, the master seat is on the way. It's really different... >

"We have received the news, and the little devil who lost contact with the rear artillery position will definitely know the news. If nothing else, the little devil opposite us has already started to discuss the retreat of the troops. So, it is to do the said thing It is better to counterattack sooner rather than later. Take advantage of the firepower advantage of the artillery regiment to blow up the little devils in front of you. They will completely destroy their already low morale. Then, order the guard battalion of the division that has not participated in the battle to be the forward. Under the cover of the Japanese army, they immediately counterattacked and fought a defeating battle against the No.11 Brigade of the Japanese Army...>

Regarding Zhang Yusheng's suggestion, Zhou Xingguo directly agreed with him. He focused on Yu Xiansheng, the commander of the artillery regiment, and continued to ask: "Old Yu, can the artillery regiment completely cover the Japanese army assembly area in front of us with shells in a short time... >

Finally it was his artillery regiment's turn to join the battle, Yu Xiansheng immediately showed an excited smile on his face.He said confidently: "Lao Zhang, Lao Zhou, it's not like you don't know the strength of our artillery regiment today...>

"Don't talk about mortars, even those mountain runs are enough to completely cover the Japanese army's assembly area in artillery fire within 5 minutes...>

"Okay, let's make a deal...>

"Old Zhang, Lao Yu, 5 minutes later, the artillery began to attack the Japanese army assembly point...>

"I agree...>

"I agree...>

The Garrison Division Artillery Regiment had 12 75mm field guns, plus a large number of mountain guns and infantry guns, a total of more than [-] guns. Under Yu Xiansheng's order, they quickly removed all kinds of camouflage covering their bodies.Then, directly under the control of a famous gunner, he used the shooting elements that had been measured before the war to aim the muzzles of the black holes at the Japanese army assembly area one or two kilometers away. Get ready to launch.

At the same time, at the assembly point of the Japanese army, looking at the subordinates who had less than 3000 people behind them, they thought of the artillery positions and supply positions that they had just lost contact with.Major General Sakai's expression was directly enveloped by a thick look of embarrassment. [

Now take the initiative to withdraw troops, and the lives of more than 2000 soldiers around him are undoubtedly saved.However, his military career would undoubtedly end because of this fiasco.And it is very likely that he will be tried by a military court.Even directly cut seppuku "suicide".

Continue to attack, if the situation on the battlefield is as bad as the chief of staff said just now.There are more than 2000 soldiers behind him, including himself, without exception.All of them will become the turtle in the urn in the hands of the guard on the opposite side.

Just when Major General Sakai was still in the midst of painful choices, the mobilization of troops on the garrison division's position directly appeared in the eyes of Chief Kimura.As the chief of staff, he immediately felt a deep sense of uneasiness in his heart.After a quick glance at the operator in front of him who was still calling for the artillery positions in the rear, Colonel Kimura asked directly,

"Commander, haven't you contacted the artillery position yet...>

"Ha Yi. There is still no news from the three positions... >

"Baga, cunning Chinese, cunning vigilante...>

After the scolding.Seeing that the face in front of him was still cloudy and uncertain, Major General Sakai, who had not yet made a decision, directly suggested: "Brigade commander, I can be sure of my humble position. The artillery and luggage in the rear must all fall into the hands of the Chinese guard division." Li. If we cannot retreat immediately. Once the security division is fully in control of these artillery, we will be unable to retreat. We will be completely exposed to the bombardment of dozens of heavy artillery, please make a decision early..."

As soon as Mr. Kimura's words fell, under Mr. Kimura's signal, the two captains and several captains suggested at the same time: "The brigade commander, please make a decision early...>

He quickly glanced at the dozen or so subordinates with firm faces in front of him, and saw the subordinates behind him with confused eyes and low morale.Major General Sakai let out a long sigh and said.

"Forget it, this attack is not good. It's all caused by my improper command and taking the enemy lightly. At that time, I will report everything to the military department in person and ask the military department for punishment. Since the matter is no longer possible, for the sake of these thousands of soldiers "Life" is for the future of the No.11 brigade. Now I order the troops to assemble immediately and prepare to retreat...>

"Ha Yi..." Major General Sakai directly blocked most of the responsibility for the failure of this decisive battle, making all the subordinates surprised, but at the same time couldn't help showing a trace of frustration.Facing the dejected Major General Sakai in front of him, he said with a serious face.

After speaking, more than a dozen subordinates quickly dispersed, and began to gather their own subordinates, preparing to retreat.

However, at this moment, all the mountain runners, infantry artillery, and mortars under the artillery regiment were all ready to launch.Boxes of shells that had already been wired were also neatly placed next to the artillery by the officers and soldiers, waiting for the shelling order to start.

"Now I command: fire...>

"Boom...>

A series of deafening roars sounded from the artillery position.When the entire artillery position was instantly shrouded in white smoke from the shelling.The first round of more than fifty shells of various calibers flew into the sky with a sharp whistling sound, crossed a tragic battlefield, and smashed towards the Japanese army assembly place...>

The whistling sound of shells rang out in the air, and the faces of the little devil officers and soldiers who were rapidly gathering at the Japanese army gathering place immediately turned pale.He reacted quickly, and subconsciously lay down on the ground with his head in his arms.As for those who reacted slowly, they quickly lay down on the ground under the reminder of the officers or colleagues around them.

However, in an open field, even if they lie down on the ground, it is impossible to escape the attack of shells... >

"Boom boom boom... >

At the same time as the cannon sounded, Major General Sakai, who had been surrounded by a large number of guards, immediately showed a wry smile on his face.Said to Mr. Kimura, who was also looking depressed beside him.

"Mr. Kimura, it seems that your conjecture has really become a reality. Now, we just want to keep these soldiers safely withdrawn to Qingdao, which has become your extravagant wish... >

After finishing speaking, Major General Sakai, with a helpless face, continued to give orders with a serious face to his subordinates. [

"Order the troops, once the bombardment of the garrison division is over. All troops, regardless of organizational structure, immediately retreat towards Qingdao. We must withdraw from the range of the garrison division's shelling before the garrison division encircles us. Otherwise, leave me with no There is only one result left for the .11 brigade, the whole army is destroyed...>

The 10-minute shelling is for the elite little devils who have been battle-tested.Not fatal though.However, it also caused at least 500 casualties to the Japanese army.More importantly, the demoralized remnants of the Japanese army had not yet reacted from the shock of the shelling just now, and a burst of heavy machine gun fire directly rang out on the battlefield.

In 10 minutes, more than a dozen heavy machine guns were secretly deployed to less than 500 meters from the Japanese army assembly point.In the absence of threats, pull the trigger in your hand as much as you want.The dense rain of bullets was poured onto the Japanese army assembly area.

"Brothers, go...>

"Baga. The security division has started to counterattack...>

"Brothers. Hit me hard... >

In this way, under the pursuit and drive of hundreds of submachine guns behind them, the remaining two thousand little devils, like dogs that lost their homes, desperately engulfed the brigade commander, Major General Sakai, and others, and fled to the defense line where Qingdao was located. .

As for the various heavy weapons deployed by the Japanese army on the battlefield, in order to speed up their rout and avoid being shot dead by the guard battalion of the security division sticking behind them like brown sugar.Without exception, all of them were lost by the fleeing little devils.

What's more, in order to speed up, directly affect your own bullet belt, grenade, backpack on your back...>

About five kilometers away from the battlefield, the only way for the Japanese army to go to Qingdao was routed.The remaining [-] cavalrymen of the cavalry battalion sat on their horses with solemn faces, raised their sharp sabers over their shoulders, and waited for the arrival of the rout of the Japanese army.

Faced with a group of little devils who have lost their courage and lost all their heavy weapons.In order to weaken the strength of the No.11 brigade, and for the future peace of the four counties in eastern Shandong, Li Guosheng certainly would not let go of this opportunity to beat the dog in the water.The cavalry battalion with high mobility and assault is undoubtedly the last gift Li Guosheng prepared for the No.11 Brigade of the Japanese Army.

The cavalry battalion waited for less than half an hour, and a cloud of smoke rose directly at the end of the road.In less than a few minutes, one after another, the remnants of the Japanese army with panic expressions appeared on the road.

Running wildly for several kilometers all the way, both physically and psychologically, put enormous pressure on the remaining two thousand little devils.After finally escaping from the pursuit of the guard battalion behind him, and running all the way down, the little devil, who was already out of breath, was just about to take a temporary rest.Unknowingly, the ground I was on began to tremble slightly.

Some little devil officers who are familiar with the cavalry directly put their ears on the ground, trying to be sure of their guess.The cold light reflected by two hundred soldiers and two hundred sabers in the afterglow of the sun directly shot into the eyes of all the little devils on the road.

Suddenly, on the long road, the little devil who was just about to breathe a sigh of relief suddenly showed a look of despair.

"Baga, what are you still doing in a daze, retreat immediately...>

As a result, the densely packed little devils, regardless of physical fatigue, directly dropped all their burdens and started to escape...>

However, they forgot one thing, no matter how fast the infantry was, it could not be faster than the cavalry.

After entering the range of the naval gun, in order to take into account its own casualties, the Cavalry Battalion of the Guard Division will indeed not pursue it anymore.However, there is still a distance of several kilometers from here to my goal.And the pursuit distance of these few kilometers is enough for more than 200 cavalry battalions to ride back and forth several times in the middle of the messy formation of the Japanese army.

Looking at the little devil who had completely lost the courage to resist, Battalion Commander Zhao Xinting's face became even more murderous.Raising the sharp saber, he shouted loudly to the subordinates behind him: "Cavalry battalion, for the sacrificed brothers, for revenge, kill...>

"Kill...>

The other cavalrymen have already become veterans after going through bloody battles one after another.There is no hesitation in killing people...>

In just one round of assault, no less than 150 mutilated Japanese soldiers were left by the cavalry battalion on the bloody road.As for the loss of the cavalry battalion, it is almost negligible in the face of the remnants of the Japanese army that have completely lost their combat effectiveness.
