Rebirth of the Republic of China: The Rise of China

Zhang Zizhong asks for punishment

In the original battle plan of Lieutenant General Lin Xian, the head of the Japanese First Division, the remaining two brigades of the chariot wing were all concealed in the hollowed out city walls.Once the Chinese tanks broke through the interception of the first brigade, the remaining two brigades immediately launched an attack. They launched a counterattack against the Chinese tanks that broke into the position with lightning speed, and fought with the Chinese tanks. Then, after the infantry cooperated Next, destroy it outside the city of Sinuiju.

Therefore, at this moment, there are nearly a hundred remaining chariots in the chariot wing, all hidden in the hollowed out city walls.

The dull roar of the engine has just sounded, and thousands of Japanese soldiers have not yet reacted from the sudden shock.A loud crash came from behind to everyone's ears.

Then, the city wall behind everyone began to collapse. [

Chariots with high muzzles rushed out of the ruins with a dull roar.

"The chariot unit, it turned out to be the chariot unit. With the cooperation of the chariot unit, tonight's night attack will be much smoother..." Seeing hundreds of chariots suddenly appearing around them, many Japanese officers and soldiers On their faces, they all showed joyful smiles from the heart, and said to themselves.

Then, a combat order began to spread among thousands of Japanese infantry: "A combat team is in charge of two tanks, immediately launch a counterattack against the Chinese position, and kill them...>

"Boom...>

The roar of hundreds of chariots launching at the same time.On a quiet night, it can be transmitted several kilometers away.The roar of the engine just started.Dozens of officers and soldiers of the 242 regiment who were close to the edge of the trench were the first to wake up.

After rubbing his hands that were almost frozen.He quickly stood up from the trench and looked in the direction of Sinuiju.

However, under the shroud of a dark night, the visible range of these officers and soldiers is still pitch black except for pitch black.

Although I couldn't see what happened a few hundred meters away, there were a few veterans who had some experience in fighting the Japanese.It was still the first time to realize something from the noisy roar and shouts of killing.

At the same time as his complexion suddenly changed.Facing the colleagues behind him, he exclaimed loudly: "No, it's the little devil, the little devil is going to launch a night attack on us...>

"Little devils attack at night..." The hundreds of officers and soldiers who woke up from their dreams finally reacted from their shock in the face of the roaring sounds getting closer to the position and the soldiers shouting to kill.

Subconsciously grabbed the weapon beside him, amidst the roar of the officer.Quickly rushed to the trenches that were close at hand.At the same time, a company of six mortars directly under the mortar platoon was quickly set up.The gunner, who had just woken up from a dream, did not aim either.Pick up a few flares and stuff them into the barrel of the black hole...>

"Everything...>

"Crack clap clap...>

Under the illumination of the six groups of white flames, the entire battlefield was instantly illuminated.

The figure of the Japanese night attack troops who had already charged 800 meters away from the island was finally clearly displayed in front of all the officers and soldiers of the company.

"Tanks, a lot of tanks. The little devils have dispatched so many tanks. What do they want to do? Do they want to wipe us all on the battlefield...>

Then, he ordered loudly to the correspondent next to him: "Bastard, what are you still doing here in a daze, immediately notify the battalion commander and regimental seat, the Japanese army is attacking in a large scale, and only two tank battalions cover the attack. The first line of defense is already in danger, please ask for reinforcements, go immediately... >

"Yes, company commander..." The correspondent, who was scolded, quickly picked up the walkie-talkie on his back and started calling the battalion and regiment headquarters.

Seeing the back of the correspondent leaving quickly, the commander of the first company, facing the guards around him, ordered again: "Xiao Wang, you immediately notify all the tanks on the position. Once the Japanese tanks enter the firing range, start firing immediately, and do as much as possible." Block their tanks. Reinforcements will be on the field in 5 minutes max...”[

After the order was issued, the company commander quickly pulled out a pistol stuck in his waist, loaded the bullets, and shouted loudly at the machine gunner who was ready by his side: "Machine gunner, concentrate your firepower and hit me hard. Block the little devils... >

"Bang bang... da da da... >

Tongues of flame several feet long spewed out from the constantly jumping muzzle of the gun.A round of bullets with huge kinetic energy, wrapped in flames, flew out of the gun chamber at supersonic speed, and flew towards the Japanese attacking formation hundreds of meters away.

The very harsh sound of metal collisions sounded in the Japanese offensive queue, and the dense rain of bullets slammed into the frontal armor of the Japanese tank, and shot a string of sparks on the armor.Of course, more bullets followed the gap between the tanks and "shot" at the Japanese infantry hidden behind the tanks.

Dozens of Japanese soldiers were beaten into a hornet's nest in the blink of an eye because they couldn't dodge in time. They became the first batch of Japanese officers and soldiers killed in the night attack tonight.

A series of counterattack gunshots sounded, and hundreds of tanks of the Japanese army were not far behind, and they fired thick and oppressive flames at a series of positions.At the same time, the first round of nearly a hundred shells also flew out of the gun bore with a rapid and sharp whistling sound, and flew towards a series of positions.

"Concealment..." Faced with ten times the counterattack firepower of the Japanese army, the startled company commander subconsciously exclaimed.

At the same time, the ten medium-sized tanks standing on the ground began to roar, relying on their rough skin and thick flesh.

A truck-mounted machine gun.Fire quickly, instead of a general-purpose machine gun for counterattack.A tank gun with a long barrel.Also adjusted the muzzle for the first time, aiming at the chariot slowly advancing by the Japanese army. "Shoot" the first round of armor-piercing projectiles.

The shell exploded, and six Japanese tanks emitted a puff of black smoke and stopped on the spot, unable to advance or retreat.

Knowing that they could not be the opponents of the Chinese tanks, the Japanese tank regiment was not a fool. Just as the shells exploded, the smoke bombs with white smoke were thrown out by the infantry behind the tanks.

In a blink of an eye, the Japanese chariot unit was enveloped by the thick white smoke instantly produced by the smoke bombs.

Lost aiming target.Ten medium-sized tanks could only blindly fire one after another armor-piercing projectiles at the Japanese attacking troops.In this case, the loss of the Japanese tank wing changed rapidly.Almost every 50 meters forward, there is only one chariot. The blind cat hits a dead mouse and is hit by an armor-piercing bullet.

Under the cover of thousands of smoke bombs, it took less than a minute.A series of positions that are constantly spraying out tongues of flame are already close at hand to the Japanese attacking troops.

There are more than 60 tanks left in the Japanese Tank Wing.Like an unstoppable torrent of steel, it slammed into a company of positions with thousands of infantry behind it.

Dozens of Japanese chariots crushed the remains of a series of fallen soldiers.Without any stay in the position, it quickly broke through to the center of the position.As for the ten medium tanks of the tank regiment that has always stood firm and has not had time to retreat.Then, amidst the explosion of juliè explosives, it instantly turned into a ball of fire.

"Kill it... >

"Kill to give...>

Of course, the remaining two companies of the Second Battalion of the Tank Regiment left on the battlefield by Master Zhang Zizhong were also devastated by the Japanese infantry.

In the face of the ubiquitous Japanese army, completely dispersed, and without infantry to protect the chariot, there is no self-protection ability at all.A total of more than 20 medium-sized tanks, none of which were spared, were all destroyed by the simplest explosive kits of the Japanese army.

…………………………………>

In the brightly lit Sinuiju Operations Headquarters, Commander-in-Chief Zhang Zizhong was dreaming of a beautiful scene when the troops occupied Sinuiju.A burst of hurried footsteps suddenly sounded from outside the tent. [

Years of military career have already allowed Zhang Zizhong to develop a keen sense of smell on the battlefield.The voice had just reached Zhang Zizhong's ears, and his eyes, which were closed just now, subconsciously opened.

Just as the curtain hanging at the entrance of the tent was pushed open, Master Zhang Zizhong had already put on a military overcoat and stood up from the camp bed.

Seeing Gao Weichang, the chief of staff who hastily walked into the tent, with beads of sweat on his forehead on a cold night.A bad premonition quickly surfaced in Zhang Zizhong's mind.Facing the chief of staff in front of him, he asked anxiously: "Chief of staff, is there something wrong on the front line...>

"Yes, Master...>

"Night attack, you mean, the little devil launched a night attack on us...>

And at this moment, juliè gunfire suddenly sounded a few kilometers away, directly confirming the authenticity of this telegram to Zhang Zizhong.The shocked expression on Zhang Zizhong's face was quickly covered by paleness.

Regardless of the biting cold wind outside the tent, he rushed out of the tent wearing only a military overcoat and rushed to the command post which was close at hand.

"Mr. Zhu, how is the situation? Can the 242 regiment stop the Japanese night attack troops...>

The dignified Zhu Shengda did not hide anything, and replied in a deep voice: "Mr. Zhang, the situation is not optimistic...According to the latest battle report from the front line, at least one infantry regiment of the Japanese army, under the cover of nearly a hundred tanks, is rapidly moving towards the Our position advanced. And the ten tanks we deployed at the forefront. Because of the cover of the opponent's smoke bombs and Zedang, they couldn't stop the Japanese army's attacking pace of the torrent of steel. We could only watch the opponent...>

"In other words, the current situation of the 242 regiment is very dangerous, and it will soon be completely strangled with the Japanese night attack force...>

"Yes, Master Zhang..." Zhu Shengda affirmed.

Later, he suggested to Zhang Zizhong: "Master Zhang, it is too dark now, and the artillery and air force cannot provide reinforcements to the 242 regiment. What I mean is, immediately order the 242 regiment to retreat and abandon the position. Otherwise, the entire 242 regiment, it is very likely will fall into..."

Although Zhu Shengda didn't say the word 'desperate situation'.However, having experienced many battles, he still understood Zhu Shengda's suggestion immediately.Just when he fell into short thought and was about to make a final decision.Chief of Staff Gao Weichang's desperate exclamation had already sounded from the other side of the tent, where the radio station and field phone were located.

Chief of Staff Gao Weidong.With a desperate expression, he slowly put down the field phone in his hand.Facing Zhang Zizhong, he said: "Master, it's too late...>

"Boom...>

Then, facing Gao Weidong in front of him, he asked back with the last sliver of hope: "Chief of Staff, what you just said is true. The 242 regiment really can't get out...>

Gao Weidong nodded, and replied with a heavy tone: "Not only the 242 regiment, but even a battalion of the tank regiment can't withdraw...>

Hearing this result, Zhang Zizhong's facial expression was suddenly shrouded in despair.After quickly picking up a telescope on the table, he ordered decisively to his subordinates: "Go, follow me to the forefront of the battlefield immediately. I want to see how the Japanese eat up our regiment. Sooner or later One day, I will make them pay in blood..."

Carried by several jeeps, a group of hundreds of people stood on a high ground less than one kilometer away from the battlefield in just 10 minutes.

Raising the binoculars, a chaotic battlefield was clearly displayed in front of everyone.

Under the crazy crushing and shooting of at least fifty tanks of the Japanese army, the infantry who lost the cover of tanks had no room to fight back.Like ripe wheat, it was cut down to the ground in pieces by the flames fired by the Japanese tanks.

Of course, more soldiers on the battlefield died not under the strafing of Japanese chariots, but under the bayonets of the Japanese army.

On a chaotic battlefield, although the officers and soldiers of the 242 regiment were equipped with semi-automatic rifles that could fire in bursts.However, in addition to causing a lot of losses to the Japanese army at the beginning of the battle, this rifle had a super high rate of fire.In the ensuing battle, he directly became an invisible killer who ruined these officers and soldiers.

After a shuttle of bullets had been fired, before the soldiers in the melee had time to change the clips, the elite Japanese army armed with [-]-style rifles had already rushed over.

After facing the Japanese rifle with a bayonet, it was more than 1.5 meters in length.Even with a bayonet, a semi-automatic rifle with a body length of only 1.3 meters has no advantage at all in hand-to-hand combat.

After a bloody fight, the bayonets in the hands of the soldiers had not yet touched the body of the Japanese army.The bayonet on the Japanese [-]-style rifle has been deeply pierced into the chests of the soldiers...

An officer and soldier just died in a pool of blood and turned into a corpse...

When Zhang Zizhong and others rushed to the edge of the battlefield, the thousands of officers and soldiers of the 242 regiment had less than a thousand troops left, still sticking to the battlefield, making the last stand.

As for the 40 tanks of the Second Battalion of the Tank Regiment, without exception, they either turned into a pile of scrap iron that was emitting black smoke, or turned into a huge torch burning with raging fire...

"You bastards, I will make you pay with blood..." Zhang Zizhong, the teacher, stared at a pair of red eyes that could almost kill people, clenched his fists, and cursed loudly.

Then, to the subordinates around him, he ordered in a firm tone: "Order the artillery group, concentrate all the artillery, aim at the battlefield in front of you, and fire for me...I want all the Japanese troops on the battlefield to be buried with the 242 regiment..."

Faced with this command of indiscriminate bombardment, Gao Weichang was taken aback.Quickly opened his mouth to persuade: "Master, you can't, you can't fire...>

The murderous Zhang Zizhong did not answer directly, but asked in a heavy tone: "Chief of Staff, even if you don't fire the cannon, do you think the hundreds of brothers left on the battlefield still have a chance to survive..."

"Through firing now, although I killed my brother, it also killed thousands of little devils on the battlefield. Only by firing now can we leave the most Japanese troops with shells. I believe that even if these brothers know , will agree to my order...>

After finishing speaking, he continued to order to the chief of staff who was hesitant to speak in front of him: "Immediately give the order, the artillery group will fire quickly. Don't worry, except for things, I will be responsible... >

"Yes, teacher seat..." Gao Weichang had to affirm in the face of the persistent Zhang Zizhong. (to be continued...)
