Rebirth of the Republic of China: The Rise of China

Seeing the [-] Japanese troops who were not afraid of death outside the city wall, they kept rushing towards the city wall as if they were sending them to death.A sneer quickly passed from the corner of the company commander Li Ruihua's mouth.Facing the rifleman who was already ready to go, he ordered without hesitation: "All riflemen, start shooting to block the little devil's attack...>

"Papa...>

Compared with general-purpose machine guns, semi-automatic rifles are not comparable in terms of rate of fire.However, hundreds of semi-automatic rifles fired at the same time, and in just a few seconds, an airtight bullet net was formed in front of the position.

Coupled with the accurate hit rate of the semi-automatic rifle within the effective range.In just five seconds, at least a hundred little devils were shot by semi-automatic rifles and fell on the charge road.

Of course, the well-trained Japanese outside the city are not fools either... >

Pieces of Japanese troops had just fallen under the suddenly intensified counterfire of semi-automatic rifles.The Japanese soldiers, who were bending over and trotting to attack the city wall just now, had already subconsciously lay down on the ground and began to crawl towards the city wall.

At the same time, the machine gunner who was attacking with the team quickly set up a light machine gun, loaded the bullets, and fired the bullets at the city wall to fight back.Of course, some ordinary Japanese soldiers who considered themselves sharpshooters also began to use rifles to shoot precision rifle bullets at the city wall.

The bullets fired by both the enemy and the enemy come and go, one life after another, as the gunshots continue to ring out.Slowly disappear from the battlefield.

However, careful people.It can be clearly seen that in this confrontation.The company that sticks to the city wall obviously takes a lot of advantage.Although the rate of fire of a semi-automatic rifle is not as good as that of a light machine gun, its firepower density is several times that of an ordinary rifle.Coupled with the scorching flames fired by ten general-purpose machine guns, the condescending terrain occupied by the company.

In the next 5 minutes, the Japanese army crawled outside the city, although they advanced 100 meters in the direction of the city wall again.However, their attack is on the way.At least one hundred corpses were left behind again.Of course, under the continuous sniping of Japanese sharpshooters, the company lost two entire infantry squads.

……………………>

"Baga...>

Especially after seeing more than 200 meters away from the city, there were less than a hundred remnants of soldiers left, and Colonel Nomura's face turned livid.

As the direct commander of the First Infantry Battalion.Although Colonel Nomura hopes that these subordinates can make persistent efforts to take down the city wall.However, listening to the unique gunshots from Chinese general-purpose machine guns on the battlefield, I saw the gap in the city wall.Tongues of orange-red flames shot out continuously.Colonel Nomura knew that this wish would never come true.

Seeing the longing eyes of Zitian Shaozuo, the captain of the first brigade, looking at him.Chief Nomura knew that Shao Zuo Zitian wanted to leave some seeds for the First Brigade.Avoid the annihilation of the first brigade.

Sure enough, there was a look of hesitation on his face just now.When thinking about whether to order the troops to retreat immediately.Shao Zuo Zitian's almost begging voice sounded from behind.

"Your Excellency, Captain, I think that if you continue to attack, you will not be able to achieve any results except for the casualties of the troops... Therefore, I suggest that in order to avoid unnecessary losses of the troops, you should immediately order the troops to retreat. Otherwise, the two in charge of the attack A squadron will destroy the entire army...>

Colonel Nomura is of course aware of this fact, coupled with the proposal of his subordinates, he just had the opportunity to borrow the donkey from the slope.

Faced with Zitian Shaozuo's longing eyes, he decisively ordered: "In this case, why are you still standing there, order the troops to retreat immediately, and the heavy machine gun squadron to cover, we must successfully withdraw the troops..."

After finishing speaking, he turned to the chief of staff behind him and continued to order: "Chief of staff, order the troops to suspend the attack. The front line is temporarily handed over to you. I will go to the brigade commander immediately and try to adjust the attack time to night. After heavy artillery support, then Attack. Otherwise, such an attack is almost indistinguishable from "suicide"...>

After the chief of staff of the regiment nodded approvingly, he replied confidently: "Please rest assured, captain, there will be no problems on the front line with a lowly position..."

………………

About three kilometers away from Andong County, in a mountain depression completely out of the range of the mountain cannon, a dozen or so tents of different sizes stood impressively in this dense forest.

Colonel Nomura, who walked into the col, passed the inspection of the surrounding guards and walked directly into the largest tent surrounded by trees to buy various antennas and heavily guarded. [

After paying a military salute to Major General Toyota with a serious face, he opened his mouth and reported: "Your Excellency, the firepower of the Chinese in the city is really too strong. Without the support of heavy artillery, the troops will never be able to approach the city wall. Therefore, I ask Your Excellency General to be able to Delay the attack time. After dark, use the cover of heavy artillery to launch an attack on Andong County... >

Major General Toyoda frowned, and asked back: "Eh... Nomura-kun, is it possible that the attack of the [-]th Infantry Regiment has been blocked...>

"Hayi..." Colonel Nomura didn't hide anything, and revealed the attack and damage of the troops with an embarrassed expression.

As expected by Colonel Nomura, as soon as his own report fell, a curse came from the mouth of the brigade commander in front of him.

"Baga, how could this happen? In just one hour, half the infantry brigade was lost...>

Curse to curse, Major General Toyota did not lose his mind.After thinking for a while, he came to the same conclusion as Nomura: Without heavy artillery support, there is no difference between attacking and dying.

Then, he ordered to the three regiment captains in front of him: "In this case, we will wait until after dark to fight a decisive battle with the Chinese army in the city..."

........................

"Boom...>

The sky darkened.The six bombers that had been escorting over Anton had to return.The Japanese heavy artillery unit that has been hiding outside the city.He began to show his hideous face.

Take off the cover and gun coat, raise your black hole muzzle, aim at the target, and load the shell...

After a series of preparatory work was completed, a test-fired large-caliber howitzer shell slammed hard at a position 50 meters outside Anton City with a rapid and sharp whistling sound.

The shell exploded, and a large crater with a depth of more than three meters suddenly appeared on the ground.at the same time.A ball of fire mixed with a large amount of thick smoke quickly soared into the air from the point of impact, illuminating a radius of [-] meters.

The sound of shell explosions had just stopped for less than ten seconds, and the dozens of shells fired by the Japanese heavy artillery fleet after debugging had already carried the whistling sound produced by the shells across the sky, from the heavy artillery positions several kilometers away to the security. Dongcheng flew over.

After test firing, the accuracy rate of the Japanese army's first round of shells is still very high. 36 no shells, at least half the number.Accurately shot at the location of the city wall of Anton and exploded.Even if the remaining shells all fell on the front and back of the city wall and exploded, they would deviate from the target by tens of meters at most.

Following the orange-red fireballs, puffs of thick black smoke began to rise one after another on the city wall and its surroundings.Just one round of shelling.The 100-meter section of the city wall, which was heavily attacked by the Japanese heavy artillery cluster, was already shrouded in gunpowder.

Both the enemy and the enemy felt the vibration of the ground caused by the shelling, and were shocked by the great power of the heavy artillery.The second round of 36 shells fired by the heavy artillery regiment.Flying over the battlefield again, it landed on the city wall shrouded in gunpowder smoke and exploded.

Round after round.The shells fired by the Japanese heavy artillery unit seemed to be free of money.Keep hitting this section of the city wall.

Obviously, the Kwantung Army wanted to completely destroy this section of the city wall through this shelling.On the one hand, artillery fire was used to blast out a passage for the infantry to enter the city; on the other hand, it weakened the condescending geographical advantage of the defending troops during the battle.

The power of the 150mm caliber heavy howitzer shell is definitely not blown out.Just 15 minutes into the bombardment, the indestructible city wall showed signs of loosening in front of ordinary artillery.A large number of large city wall bricks wrapped on the surface of the city wall began to fall off under the vibration of the huge shock wave generated by the shell explosion, exposing the solidified concrete inside the city wall...

When the shelling went on for 10 minutes, all the outer wall coverings of this [-]-meter-long city wall had all been shaken off by the shells.Part of the solid concrete that has been built for hundreds of years also began to appear huge craters with a diameter of more than five meters, and even began to collapse...

The bombardment lasted for 25 minutes, and the city wall, which was more than ten meters high, was finally blown out of a gap.As a large amount of Sanhe soil was blasted into the air by the shells, this section of the city wall directly turned into a gentle slope with a height of no more than three meters. [

The shelling lasted for half an hour, and the entire section of the [-]-meter-long city wall, except for some ruined walls, still stood where the original city wall was.The rest of the city wall has all been turned into a gentle slope with a height of no more than three meters.All it takes is a charge from the troops, and they can easily rush into Andong City without any tools.

Major General Toyota, who came to the battlefield to command the battle, finally flashed a sneer on his serious face.Putting down the binoculars, facing the two subordinates who were already eager to try, he ordered decisively: "Heavy Artillery Regiment, immediately conduct extended artillery fire...>

"Hayi..." The two captains of the Zuo Lian who received the order replied confidently.

In less than 2 minutes, like raindrops, the shells that kept falling on the gap in the city wall had already begun to move into the city.At a distance of 50 meters from the gap in the city wall, a fire zone composed of artillery fire was formed, and the defenders were slow to quickly reinforce the gap.

At the same time, the Eighth Wing's First Battalion, the [-] elite Japanese army, was like three yellow waves. Under the cover of heavy machine guns and mortars behind them, the mighty ’ pressed towards the gap.

At this moment, the troops guarding the city wall have changed from the original battalion and company to all the remaining troops of the first battalion under the command of the first battalion commander Sun Changbin himself.

Because the fourth brigade of the Kwantung Army came too suddenly, the 241st regiment of the defenders did not have time to build any artillery fortifications.After the Japanese shelling began, in order to avoid direct damage from the Japanese heavy artillery.A total of four hundred officers and soldiers were all hidden in the cave of Tibetan soldiers at the foot of the city wall.

The [-]-meter-long city wall was blown down.It also means that hundreds of officers and soldiers hidden in the cave at the foot of this section of the city wall did not even see the shadow of the Japanese army.He was buried alive in the ruins.

Faced with wave after wave of Japanese attacking troops rushing towards the gap outside the city.Battalion Commander Sun Changbin didn't have time to grieve, so he immediately ordered his troops to rush to the gap in the city wall, stepping on the corpses of their fallen comrades-in-arms, and get ready to block...

At a distance of 500 meters, more than 30 general-purpose machine guns strengthened by the first battalion began to roar together.

The sudden dense flames were like sickles, cutting towards the little devil in front of the position in pieces.Let the Japanese attacking troops pay huge losses in a short period of time.

However, such a loss is nothing to the Fourth Brigade, which has tens of thousands of troops.The dense offensive formation had just been swept away by the flames to create a gap, and the Japanese follow-up troops immediately rushed forward to fill the gap.Wave after wave, against the oncoming flames, they continued to attack without fear of death.

More importantly: the loss of the Ninth Army air wēixié, the Japanese offensive force.It is already possible to fully display various tactics and tactics on the battlefield without any worries.

At the gap in the city wall, more than 30 general-purpose machine guns have just fired.The Japanese army was responsible for providing fire cover for Budou, and more than 30 heavy machine guns were lined up on the battlefield.At the same time, a denser suppressive firepower net was fired at the gap in the city wall, suppressing more than [-] general-purpose machine guns in the first battalion.

Of course, heavy machine gun fire suppression.It's just one aspect.

In order to ensure a smooth attack and reduce the loss of attacking troops.Commander of the Eighth Infantry Regiment Changjiangkou Regiment.A total of more than a hundred mortars were assembled in the entire brigade.All concentrated at the front of the position, and carried out precise artillery attacks on the first battalion at the gap.With artillery shells and heavy machine gun bullets, a battalion of troops in the breach of the city wall was double killed.

While the Japanese heavy machine guns counterattacked, hundreds of mortar shells fell on their heads on time.

"Boom boom boom... >

"Damn it, the little devil's artillery fire is too fierce...If this continues, the more than 30 machine guns in our hands will be blown up...The camp, I mean, order each company to directly control the mortar The platoon and the battalion headquarters are directly under the infantry artillery company, and immediately counterattack. Give the little devils a boost and give the infantry some time to counterattack with firepower..." After spitting out the dirt that had been eaten into his mouth due to the shelling just now.The deputy battalion commander suggested anxiously.

Battalion Commander Sun Changbin, who personally manipulated a machine gun and kept pulling the trigger at the target, took the opportunity to wipe the back of his face that had been completely blackened by gunpowder smoke.Facing the deputy battalion commander, he decisively ordered: "I agree...>

After speaking, battalion commander Sun Changbin ignored the deputy battalion commander behind him.Concentrate and start pouring bullets at the Japanese army hundreds of meters away.

The third round of shells fired by the Japanese mortar group came to this gap again.The eighteen mortars and six infantry guns equipped by the first battalion finally began to counterattack.

A round of shells passed by, and the Japanese mortar group a thousand meters away quickly shot up dozens of fireballs.

Under the counterattack of five consecutive rapid-fire artillery fires from the artillery, the mortar shells that fell on the gap, that is, the first battalion, finally decreased.

Sun Changbin, the battalion commander of the first battalion, quickly seized this opportunity.

Take the lead, set up a general-purpose machine gun, and shoot at the Japanese attacking troops that are close at hand.

Of course, while shooting, he did not forget to encourage the remaining subordinates around him: "Brothers, hit me hard, the little devil is also carrying a head and a bullet on his shoulders, and he still killed them... >

More than 20 general-purpose machine guns and more than 200 semi-automatic rifles, taking advantage of the Japanese army's transfer of artillery positions, poured ammunition on the Japanese army at their fastest shooting speed.

In less than five seconds, more than [-] rounds of bullets were poured into the densely packed Japanese offensive formation.Immediately, the Japanese troops charging in the first few rows, like wheat cut by a sickle, turned into corpses in pieces.

In just a few minutes of exchange of fire, more than half of the [-] Japanese troops in charge of the attack had been lost.

Of course, the first battalion that stood firm at the gap also lost more than half of it after three consecutive rounds of artillery fire from hundreds of Japanese mortars.

At this moment, the Japanese artillery group, which had moved its position, began to speak again.The remaining [-] or so mortars have been divided into two: one part of the artillery was fired at the same battalion artillery, and the other part of the artillery continued to shell the gap in the city wall, killing and injuring the remaining troops of the first battalion with shells...>

The sound of shell explosions sounded, and the firepower that the first battalion had just organized became intermittent again.

At the same time, one general-purpose machine gun after another was blown into a pile of parts under the shelling of the Japanese army.In front of the position, because of the sudden firepower counterattack from the first battalion, the Japanese army, whose offensive pace was suddenly frustrated, immediately seized this opportunity.Under the joint cover of artillery fire and heavy machine guns, they quickly pressed towards the gap in the city wall.

300m...200m...>

In the next attack of the Japanese army, the remnants of the first battalion fought back against the Japanese artillery fire despite everything.However, Naihe and the Japanese army's artillery fire was too fierce, and the number of troops in the first battalion that could counterattack became less and less, and they could only watch helplessly as the Japanese army continued to approach the position.

The 100 Japanese attacking troops reached a position 250 meters outside the city wall, and there were still more than 80 people left.The first battalion standing on the ground was full of battles, with less than [-] people. Even the battalion commander Sun Changbin was seriously injured in the continuous shelling.

"Deputy Battalion Commander, what should we do, the firepower of the little devil is too fierce, we can't stop it at all..." The commander of the second company, whose face was full of gunpowder, staggered to the deputy battalion commander who was also injured in the arm, relying on the bomb crater. asked anxiously.

"What can we do, the order given to us by the group is to defend the position to the death. Order the brothers who can still move, prepare grenades, mount bayonets on rifles, and prepare to fight the little devil to the end..." Wiping the gunpowder smoke and blood on his face Finally, during the battle, the deputy battalion commander, whose eyes were already red, ordered with a murderous look on his face. (To be continued.
