Rebirth of the Republic of China: The Rise of China

167

The anxious and panic-stricken Chief of Staff He Yingqin never saw Wang Zhaoguo until he became a prisoner of the security division.

He Yingqin's order has just been issued, in order to prevent the follow-up troops of the Northern Expedition under the command of Lao Jiang from rushing to the battlefield ahead of schedule.As the head of the regiment, Zhang Huxiao ordered the troops to launch an attack after only 2 minutes of short artillery fire at the gap...

Although the 2-minute artillery preparation is very short.However, there are two mountain artillery battalions, one regiment is an infantry artillery company, and six mortar platoons.A total of more than 40 artillery pieces of various calibers poured at least 500 shells into this gap less than [-] meters wide during this period of time...

The concentrated fire of [-] shells directly means that in a not-so-wide gap, at least one shell must be hit for every one meter distance.The two infantry battalions of the Northern Expedition Army standing at the gap have not yet reacted from the sudden artillery strike.The large number of light machine guns and submachine guns equipped by the vanguard battalion of the guard regiment were just above their heads, forming an airtight bullet net with bullets. [

Wang Dongwen, as a battalion commander of a major in the veteran's lineage, and because of his background in Huangpu, has always been valued by his superiors.Therefore, in order to break into the safety of more than 1 elite soldiers of the Northern Expedition behind the garrison division and ensure the safety of the entire gap, it fell directly into the hands of the same elite infantry battalion as his brothers.

Because the gap is too small, and I have to leave enough space for the striker's follow-up troops to pass.The two infantry battalions were directly divided into two, with one battalion stationed on one side.Protecting the safety of the two wings of the gap.However, the narrow space also caused a very important problem, that is, his troops were too concentrated...

On the small temporary blocking position, a main battalion of almost [-] elite Northern Expeditionary troops lay on the temporary position almost face to face, looking vigilantly at the surrounding battlefield where guns were still rumbling.

The guard group fired more than 2 shells in 600 minutes.Although more than two-thirds of the shells landed elsewhere in the gap.However, there are more than 100 shells left, on the proposed simple defense line with such a concentration of troops.It also caused very heavy casualties to the entire infantry battalion commanded by Wang Wendong.

On a bloody battlefield, more than 200 people were directly killed by shells.More than a hundred people.More or less injured, lying on the ground, screaming...>

Looking at the soldiers who he had trained so hard in front of him, he didn't even see the shadow of the enemy, so he lost more than half of them under the fire of the guards.Battalion Commander Wang Wendong, who was full of ambitions for his military career, felt pain in his heart that was worse than a drop of blood. He stared at the front of the position with eyes that could almost kill people.

Seeing a few hundred meters away from the front of the position, it is directly like a heavenly soldier and a general.Hundreds of elite guards swarmed towards their temporary defense line.Battalion Commander Wang Wendong, with a heartbroken face, had to suppress the panic in his heart.Facing the equally panicked subordinates around him, he roared loudly, trying to raise everyone's morale.

"Brothers, hold on to me. Hold on, our reinforcements are coming. Light and heavy machine guns, counterattack immediately, counterattack quickly...>

Although Battalion Commander Wang Wendong is only a major battalion commander, he was born in a regular military academy.In terms of insight, it is definitely not comparable to that of ordinary battalion commanders.He is very clear that the gap he is currently guarding is like a hell door leading to life and death for the more than 1 elite Northern Expeditionary troops who have penetrated behind the guard division.

If this gate of hell is lost, it will be closed again by the security division.Then, the more than 1 elite soldiers of the Northern Expedition who were locked behind the gates of hell will probably face the fate of being wiped out.Therefore, in Wang Wendong's eyes, even if the entire army under his leadership is wiped out because of this, he must guard this gap.

"Da da da...>

A pair of light and heavy machine guns were quickly set up, and under the suppression of the intensive firepower of the guard regiment, they launched continuous counterattacks.A rifle was also in the hands of these officers and soldiers, and they kept pulling the trigger, shooting bullets out...>

Immediately, a burst of bean-popping gunshots began to sound around Wang Wendong.

As for the hundreds of elite guard regiments that were rushing towards him a few hundred meters away from the front of the position, facing the sudden bullets, a dozen of them were knocked down in an instant.As for the rest, they quickly fell down on the ground as agreed.

The offensive of the guard regiment was temporarily contained, but what Battalion Commander Wang Wendong did not expect was that the fact that hundreds of guard regiment elites quickly fell to the ground did not mean that the opponent Zhang Huxiao would suspend the attack.

While several hundred elites were lying down quickly, the more than 20 light machine guns equipped by the entire guard battalion were quickly set up and began to shoot more dense hot bullets at Wang Wendong's position.At the same time, the nine grenade launchers equipped by the three guard companies also shot a total of nine grenades in the first round into Wang Wendong's position very accurately.

"Da da da...>

Encouraged by battalion commander Wang Wendong, more than 1 officers and soldiers whose morale had just recovered within a minute.Facing such a sharp counterattack from the first battalion of the guard regiment, in the blink of an eye, it paid a huge price of 200 casualties.More importantly, the few remaining light and heavy machine guns in the entire infantry battalion were also directly destroyed by the explosion of nine grenades...

Even the little devils of the Japanese army who have been edified by the spirit of bushido will show a trace of fear when facing death, not to mention the domestic Northern Expedition troops who are almost warlords. [

Clinging to his scalp, as long as he raised his head, there would be dense bullets that could kill him.In addition, the top of the head may fall on the side of him at any time and explode, killing his own life.There are only more than 100 officers and soldiers left, even in the face of the roar of the battalion commander Wang Wendong, they lie on the ground in horror and no longer fight back.

Not blocked by bullets.There were more than 500 elites in the first battalion of the guard regiment, and there was no hesitation.Just like an unstoppable torrent, with a submachine gun and a bayonet-mounted rifle, he rushed towards the breakthrough that was getting closer and closer to him... >

"Brothers, kill...>

Shouts of shouts sounded from the first battalion of 500 people, and the Northern Expeditionary Army was so frightened that their faces turned pale.Facing the shining bayonet.Facing the murderous elite guards, they no longer have the courage to continue resisting... >

In less than 10 minutes of short combat, the two infantry battalions stationed at the gap.In addition, they are constantly pouring into the gap, but because of the sudden shelling.More than 1000 elite Northern Expeditionary troops who had to stay at the gap.Except for more than [-] elites, they were either directly killed by shells on the spot, or died outside the battlefield under the fierce attack of the guards.The remaining [-] people, without exception, all turned pale and became prisoners of war of the security division...>

"Reporting to the regiment, our guard regiment successfully blocked the gap and wiped out at least two battalions of the guard division...>

"Okay, brothers are fighting well. Send the order down. Immediately clean up the battlefield, dispatch an infantry company, and take all the prisoners back to the county...>

"Yes, group seat...>

The security regiment successfully captured the gap, and the news was transmitted to Li Guosheng's security division headquarters through radio waves.He Yingqin, who was also in a state of panic, also learned of this amazing news through the radio carried by the rear troops...>

"The gap was re-occupied by the garrison division, which means that our retreat has been cut off by the garrison division?" Chief of Staff He Yingqin, who was still in shock in the face of the combat staff report, asked directly.

"Yes, Chief of Staff...>

"What else can I do, order the troops to take back the breakthrough for me immediately..." He Yingqin, who looked terrified, was for his own safety and the safety of more than 1 soldiers in his hands.Without the slightest hesitation, he roared loudly at the combat staff officer in front of him with strong anger.

"Yes, Chief of Staff...>

The back road was suddenly blocked, and after seeing the surroundings, there was still a peaceful environment.He Yingqin, the commander-in-chief of an army of more than 1 soldiers, knew that this was a huge trap set by Li Guosheng, the police officer, no matter how stupid he was.

A gust of cold wind blew by, and I couldn't help shivering when I saw that I couldn't help but stop on the road, like a long snake, winding a march for several kilometers.He Yingqin, who was angry and terrified, suddenly realized that besides underestimating the enemy and rushing forward, he also made a big mistake, a mistake that could ruin the lives of more than 1 soldiers...

If the marching column of a long snake is suddenly attacked by the flanks.Even if the size of the entire army exceeds [-], it will be quickly cut into several pieces under the fierce attack of the enemy.Then, relying on the advantage of its military strength, it eats itself up bit by bit... >

For a moment, a trace of cold sweat surfaced directly on He Yingqin's forehead.Looking at the already bright sky around him, He Yingqin, who was in panic, directly ordered: "Order, all troops, gather at the breakthrough immediately. The troops immediately retreat, gather at the breakthrough, hurry up..."

More than 1 elite soldiers of the Northern Expedition were at a loss, and led by officers at all levels with a look of hesitation, when they retreated to the rear in a very chaotic manner.In a village less than two kilometers away from the battlefield.The former enemy headquarters of the security division, Li Guosheng, the commander of the security division, also received the news of the victory of the security division.

"Okay, Zhang Huxiao played well... >

"Yes, Master...>

Two field artillery regiments under the artillery regiment, and three infantry artillery companies under the three infantry regiments. 18 Mortar Platoons…>

The rounds of shells, supported by the sufficient shell reserves of the security division, seemed to cost no money, with a sharp whistling sound.It kept falling on an open road, but more than 1 elite soldiers of the Northern Expedition had gathered on the highway. [

moment.It was still crowded and chaotic just now, when more than 1 elite Northern Expeditionary troops gathered on the road, huge fireballs rose up.A huge orange fireball soared into the sky.The blood rain directly blown up by the shells, the soldiers' limbs and arms were broken, and it was no surprise that they were set off high by the air waves generated by the shell explosion.Suddenly, on the long road, no-man's land with a radius of several meters appeared directly among the densely packed crowd.

Facing the shells raining down, the fragments of shells flying around you like rain, and the fragments of shells that may harvest your life at any time... Of course, it is more about facing death.A few minutes ago, they were still officers and soldiers of the Northern Expedition Army with elite faces.A face turned pale with fear.

Groups of soldiers on the long road, because they lost their command, directly "chaos" into a pot of porridge...>

Compared with the fear of death faced by soldiers, He Yingqin, the supreme commander of the more than 1 Northern Expedition Army elite.Also frightened by the sudden artillery fire, his face turned pale.

Under the escort of the guards, they finally retreated outside the shelling area.Because at this moment, the sky was already bright, the tragic situation on the road was directly displayed in He Yingqin's eyes.

Looking around, under the fierce shelling of the security division, >

Looking at the scattered subordinates around, after seeing the shells fired by the security division, they are constantly extending towards their position.He Yingqin, whose face had already turned pale, didn't care about the image of the chief of the general staff.Directly to the few subordinates who were still following him, he gave an eager order.

"Order all the troops to quickly assemble in battalion units...>

When the order was issued, the surroundings received the order, and they were just about to get up to convey it.Intensive and chaotic gunfire sounded very abruptly directly from the north side of the road...

The Jiaoji railway line, which is less than 200 meters away from the road, set up a pair of light and heavy machine guns directly under the dumbfounded gaze of He Yingqin.Immediately afterwards, tongues of hot flames gushed out directly from the muzzles of more than 100 light and heavy machine guns, shooting towards their direction.

Several combat staff officers who just stood up from the ground and were about to deliver orders.Before he could run a few steps, he was smashed into a hornet's nest under the sweep of dense bullets, and fell heavily in a pool of blood.

The bullets on the top of the head were dense like rain, almost clinging to the scalp, and the bullets were so heavy that he couldn't lift his head.In addition, like raindrops, shells that may explode next to them may fall.The Northern Expedition Army, which was already terrified and in a state of no command, became even more flustered at this moment... >

The frightened soldiers, under the command of the equally panicked company platoon leader, fought back like a group of stragglers without the slightest purpose.

As for the battalion commanders, in the face of the sudden attack from the security division, although they wanted to organize troops to fight back.However, in such an open battlefield without any hidden objects, and they have completely separated from their subordinates in the chaos, it is impossible to gather together in a short period of time.Their growling and commanding voices serve no purpose other than wasting saliva.

One word long snake formation, this is the disaster that one word long snake formation brought to oneself...>

Seeing the scene in front of him, He Yingqin's face directly revealed a painful expression.

At this moment, in the face of more than 1 subordinates who were suppressed by the firepower of the security division and could not move at all in an empty wilderness.He Yingqin knew that in a short period of time, these people who had lost their vigor absolutely had no ability to fight back.

As a result, He Yingqin, who was ashen-faced, directly placed his trust on the follow-up troops commanded by Lao Jiang himself.

As long as the follow-up troops can open another breakthrough in the garrison division's blocking position and wipe out the officers and soldiers of the garrison division along the railway line, the more than 1 soldiers around them will be saved.

Otherwise, the more than 1 soldiers under his command, under the suppression of such intensive firepower and shells from the garrison division, even if the garrison division does not take the initiative to attack.If it is suppressed for a long time, it will collapse on its own.At that time, even if I am the chief of staff of the Northern Expedition, no matter how powerful I am, I will still be powerless... >

Thinking of this, He Yingqin, with the last sliver of hope, continued to order to the subordinates behind him: "Communication staff, immediately send a telegram to the commander-in-chief, requesting reinforcements, requesting reinforcements...>

"Yes, Chief of Staff..." (to be continued...)
