Rebirth of the Republic of China: The Rise of China

Several armor-piercing shots wrapped in flames, mixed with rapid and sharp whistling sounds, quickly flew towards an old Maozi medium tank 500 meters away at a speed invisible to the naked eye.

A string of sparks flashed from the front armor of the tank.More than a dozen rounds of [-]mm caliber armor pierced, except for a few that were directly countered by the tank's thick armor because the shooting angle was too biased, leaving only a string of sparks and a white spot on the armor surface.The remaining armor penetration, with one exception, all penetrated the frontal armor, leaving a dozen black holes in the frontal armor of the tank.

Although Zeng Zhiyuan, who was holding the binoculars, could not see the inside of the tank, at the moment when more than a dozen armor-piercing rounds successfully hit the Soviet tank, the medium-sized tank, which was still roaring just now, groaned and stopped moving...

A total of eighteen [-]mm caliber double-barreled machine guns wiped out Soviet tanks in the sound of the battlefield, turning every old Maozi tank into the coffin of the old Maozi tank crew.The nine large-caliber anti-aircraft guns were not idle either.

Looking around, in the group of Soviet tanks 500 meters away, all those hit by anti-aircraft guns, with one exception, either exploded directly or turned into a ball of orange-red fireballs... [

Successfully destroying a Soviet tank, the gunners of the air defense battalion did not hesitate, quickly turned the muzzle, and poured the guns on other target tanks with the super high rate of fire of anti-aircraft guns and machine guns.

Wang Hong, the battalion commander of the air defense battalion, was right. The hundreds of Soviet tanks lined up in a row, in this death storm composed of artillery fired by the air defense battalion, completely became the training of the air defense battalion. best target.

More than 100 medium tanks were destroyed one after another under the watchful eyes of Lieutenant General Yev, the commander-in-chief of the Soviet army.Not even the minimum reaction time...

"How did this happen, who can tell me. What kind of weapon does the Chinese squadron use? It's so powerful. Why doesn't the Far East intelligence department have any relevant information? Why, my tank regiment, who can return the tank regiment to me? ..." The stunned Lieutenant General Yev threw down the binoculars in his hand without any scruples.Clenching a pair of trembling fists, and smashing hard on the log wall in front of him, he roared full of despair.

As soon as the voice fell, the major general's chief of staff's anxious voice sounded on the battlefield: "Comrade commander. Without the cover of the tank, the infantry in charge of the attack will be completely exposed in front of the squadron. The ** team’s destructive firepower strike, I suggest that the troops be ordered to retreat immediately and suspend the attack..."

"Then why are you still standing there, not giving orders... The loss of one tank regiment is enough, do you still want us to lose two more infantry regiments, thousands of Red Army warriors..." Yefu looked angry The lieutenant general roared sharply.

Although the reminder from the major general's chief of staff was very timely.However, the death storm shot out by the air defense battalion still affected many Soviet Red Army troops who followed the tanks.

"Shoot" along the gap between the tanks to the guns in the Soviet attacking infantry group, because the tank armor instead flew to the artillery in the infantry group... an exception.All became gods of death dedicated to harvesting the lives of the Soviet army.

A [-]mm caliber armor-piercing shot passed through the densely packed Soviet infantry group, and a bloody path appeared directly on the ground along the flight path of this shot.wherever the gun goes.All the old Maozi soldiers who were hit by the cannon directly lost their combat effectiveness without missing arms or legs.It just turned into a corpse, and fell on the road of attack.

certainly.It was not the cannon that caused greater damage to the Soviet infantry behind the tank, but the small-caliber armor-piercing raindrops fired by the double-barreled machine guns.With its super high rate of fire and caliber, a single shot of armor piercing often penetrates the corpses of several Lao Maozi soldiers before finally staying in the body of an Lao Maozi, and killing the old Maozi Maozi's body was messed up...

Looking around, all the old Maozi infantrymen who followed the gap between the tanks were all swept to the ground with emotion. Like the tank regiment standing in front of everyone, they became the first battle exploits of the air defense battalion.

The Soviet army issued an order to retreat. Thousands of Soviet offensive troops left hundreds of tank wrecks on the battlefield, as well as thousands of dead bodies of old men in various poses.

Looking at the bloody battle report in his hand, Lieutenant General Yev held the battle report in both hands, and couldn't help shaking again because of shock.After a brief silence, he asked the chief of staff in front of him loudly: "A tank regiment, a whole medium tank regiment was easily wiped out by the squadron. Isn't the staff going to give me an explanation..."

"Squadron, the squadron defending in front of us, what kind of weapon did they use to destroy an entire medium tank regiment of our army in such a short period of time... Also, the infantry who successfully retreated, could it be Didn't bring you any meaningful reports back..."

Under the glaring gaze of the lieutenant general, the major general's chief of staff replied in a low voice: "Report to the commander, the staff already knows the weapons and equipment used by the opponent... According to the report of the withdrawn Red Army unit and the analysis of the relevant artillery officers, the staff can Certainly, all the anti-tank weapons used by the squadron came from the air defense force... In other words, the squadron used a large number of anti-aircraft guns to successfully destroy a medium-sized tank regiment of our Soviet Red Army, and killed at least A battalion of warriors..."

Under the analysis of the major general's chief of staff, Lieutenant General Yev gradually became aware of the tremendous power that anti-aircraft weapons can produce in flat shooting.

Nuo Da Command, because of Lieutenant General Yev's constantly changing face, became deathly quiet.All the senior officers of the Soviet Army focused their attention on Lieutenant General Yev, waiting for Lieutenant General Yev's next decision.

At this moment, Lieutenant General Yev, who was expected by everyone, was also caught in a difficult dilemma.

Before leaving, the General Command of the Far East Army issued a deadly mission to rescue the Soviet Red Army in Jiamusi in a non-negotiable tone.Be sure, if you can't complete this task yourself.Not only would his military career end because of this, but in serious cases, he would even be sent to a military court as a scapegoat by the Far Eastern Army Command. [

However, if we continue to attack the blocking positions of the National Defense Forces and reinforce Jiamusi...

After the battle just now, Lieutenant General Yev has put away his contempt for the squadron in his heart.Especially the excellent method of the Wehrmacht using anti-aircraft weapons to fight tanks.Let Lieutenant General Yev clearly realize that if he can't destroy the air defense weapons in the hands of the squadron, he will destroy the air superiority in the hands of the squadron.Even if you have more tanks and heavy artillery.It will also turn into a pile of scrap metal on the battlefield.No matter how many Soviet Red Army warriors, they will become meaningless corpses during the attack.

The cruel and bloody facts told Lieutenant General Yev.Continuing to attack Yilan is different from letting the [-] elite Red Army soldiers die.

Lieutenant General Yev saw the changing face of the Chief of Staff, the thoughtful Chief of Staff's eyes lit up, and reminded: "Comrade Commander, under such circumstances, continue to attack Yilan. However, if we do not launch an attack on Yilan and reinforce Jiamusi, we will also disobey the military order given to us by the General Command of the Far East Army. My idea is, can we compromise the two methods, and neither In the case of disobeying the military order of the Far East Army Command, we can also keep tens of thousands of elite Red Army under our command and avoid suffering too much loss..."

"Eh..." Lieutenant General Yev's eyes lit up, as if he had grabbed a life-saving straw, and asked the chief of staff with interest.

The chief of staff waved his hand, signaling all his subordinates to leave the command room.Facing Lieutenant General Yev's mysterious expression, he said: "Report to the commander. According to the information forwarded by the Far East Army Command, the tens of thousands of elite Red Army troops surrounded by the Chinese National Defense Forces in Jiamusi have already run out of food. In this case Under this condition, within two days at most, the tens of thousands of elite Red Army besieged in Jiamusi will completely collapse. They may even become prisoners of war of the Chinese National Defense Forces..."

Seeing Lieutenant General Yev nodded in approval, the major general's chief of staff continued to analyze: "Look at the situation we are facing now. From the map, Yilan is still at least [-] kilometers away from Jiamusi. In our army's equipment With a large number of heavy weapons. It takes at least a day to feel Jiamusi..."

"Look at the blocking position that the Chinese National Defense Forces are blocking in front of us. Judging from the fight just now, even if we try our best to launch an attack, it will take at least more than a day to break through this line of defense."

"It took more than one day to break through the line of defense in front of us, plus the one-day march to Jiamusi, which means that we need at least two days to successfully reach Jiamusi and reinforce the tens of thousands of Red Army soldiers who were besieged in Jiamusi. But , In the case of complete food shortage, can tens of thousands of Red Army soldiers survive for two days under the constant siege of the Chinese National Defense Forces?"

Following the words of the chief of staff, Lieutenant General Yev once again fell into deep contemplation.

After 5 minutes, Lieutenant General Yev, who was frowning tightly, slowly shook his head and answered: "In such a cold weather, the army only needs to be out of food for a day and a night, and the whole army will lose its strength because of it." At that time, there is no need for the Chinese National Defense Forces to attack, and the tens of thousands of elite Red Army gathered in Jiamusi will become prisoners of war in the hands of the Chinese..."

With the commander's affirmation, the last worry in the chief of staff's heart disappeared immediately.Facing Lieutenant General Yev, he asked bluntly: "In this case, Comrade Commander, why do we have to spend a huge price to break through the immediate position to rescue a unit that is doomed to fail?"

Lieutenant General Yev nodded first, then shook his head, frowned again, and asked back: "Chief of Staff, although what you said is correct. However, the military order of the Kwantung Army General Headquarters is here. Are you going to let I, the lieutenant general, took the lead in violating military discipline, and was finally sent to a court-martial, to be tried by a court-martial..."

The major general's chief of staff shook his head and replied: "Commander, not breaking through the squadron's defense line in front of us does not mean that we must disobey the military orders issued by the Kwantung Army General Command..."

"We can completely use the reason that the Chinese army's blocking force is strong and the troops cannot break through the opponent's defense line in a short period of time, and use the small-scale troops to continuously attack the Chinese defense line in front of us. Tens of thousands of elite Red Army troops concentrated in Jiamusi were shot* After the *team is wiped out, we will retreat and return to Harbin..."

After analyzing and thinking about this bold idea, a long sigh was slowly spit out from Yev's mouth.Lieutenant General Yev, who had already acquiesced in this idea in his heart, ordered to the major general and chief of staff in front of him with a heavy expression: "For the sake of the tens of thousands of elite Red Army under his command, it seems that this is the only way to go. Chief of staff, for safety For sake. Only the two of us know about this matter. What to do is up to you to deal with. In addition, during the entire stalemate and offensive process, we must let the soldiers see that we are really attacking. It is not a trivial matter. .”

Successfully ate a tank regiment of the Soviet Red Army, and took advantage of the opportunity to eat the former Soviet devils, and the air defense battalion participating in the attack only paid a slight price for six minor injuries.

Facing this unprecedented victory, facing the wreckage of the Soviet Red Army tanks that were smoking thick gunpowder in front of the battlefield.In the entire blocking position, whether it was all the officers and soldiers of the 65th Regiment or the soldiers of the Air Defense Battalion who came to reinforce them, they all fell into an unprecedented celebration.

Just when everyone hadn't reacted from the surprise, there was a sharp whistle representing 'alert'.The joyful atmosphere that suddenly broke through the position made the blocking position in the celebration become cold and solemn again.

Chief of Staff Zeng Zhiyuan quickly raised his binoculars and searched for the gathering place of the Japanese army thousands of meters away.

"A battalion of old Maozi infantry, and there is no coordinated attack by tanks and armored vehicles. Damn, what kind of conspiracy are these old Maozi planning? Don't they know that using an infantry battalion to attack Is it not much different from sending us to death when we launch an attack?" Zeng Zhiyuan said to himself as he watched the old Maozi's skirmisher line slowly approaching the position.

And at this moment.Standing beside Zeng Zhiyuan, Wang Hong, the battalion commander of the air defense battalion, said with an aggrieved expression: "Old Maozi is too stingy. He just lost a tank regiment and dare not continue to attack us. Now it seems , the next battle. My air defense battalion has completely lost contact with the frontal battlefield...” [

Zeng Zhiyuan shook his head, and said with a mysterious expression: "Battalion Commander Wang, that's not necessarily the case... Judging from the battle process just now, anti-aircraft artillery is not only powerful against tanks, but also against old-fashioned infantry. One shot The guns passed by. It caused a lot of casualties to the old Maozi. I believe that in the next battle. Even if the old Maozi tanks no longer participate in the battle, there are still some battles for the brothers of the air defense battalion to fight... "

While speaking, hundreds of Soviet Red Army lined up in skirmish lines have already moved to the position 500 meters in front of the position.With the help of a large number of tank wreckages in front of the position, a light and heavy machine gun that accompanied the team's attack was quickly set up by the old Maozi's attacking troops, and began to lean towards the blocking position.

Heavy machine gun cover, infantry attack... The most common style of play on the battlefield appeared unexpectedly on the battlefield.

"The tank is unreliable. The old man is planning to attack us by consuming human lives..." Zeng Zhiyuan asked in disbelief when he saw the hundreds of old men in front of him who were constantly advancing towards the blocking position under the cover of machine guns. road.

Then, after a self-deprecating smile, he said, "No matter what the old Maozi thinks, as long as he comes to attack, I dare to destroy it... Attention all machine gunners, concentrate your firepower, and hit me hard , Eat up this old "hair" attacking troops..."

"Da da da..." The order was issued, gunshots rang out, and more than 30 general-purpose machine guns concentrated in the front line quickly sprayed tongues of flame forward.Subsequently, a dense net formed by more than 30 tongues of flame quickly enveloped hundreds of old men in the rain.

Under Zeng Zhiyuan's gaze, a scene that made him even more incredible appeared.

Hundreds of Soviet Red Army lined up in skirmish lines, under the firepower of their own counterattack, had just lost less than 100 people, and then retreated in embarrassment, showing no signs of elites at all.

"Hey, what's the matter with the old man? Wasn't he able to fight just now? We've lost less than 100 people, so we're retreating..." Zeng Zhiyuan, the chief of staff who witnessed the battle in front of him, asked incredulously .

However, in a short period of time, he could not understand the changed tactics of the opposite Soviet Red Army.Because, less than 10 minutes after this attack, which was almost a cover-up attack, another old Maozi's main battalion appeared in Zeng Zhiyuan's field of vision...

This time, before Zeng Zhiyuan had time to issue an order, Wang Hong, the battalion commander of the air defense battalion, said first: "Sir, my old man in this battalion will be handed over to my air defense battalion. I promise, let them have back and forth, let them The old Mao on the opposite side knows that our air defense battalion is not only good at fighting tanks, but also good at fighting infantry."

After finishing speaking, without waiting for Zeng Zhiyuan to answer, he ordered excitedly: "Brothers in the air defense battalion, get ready for battle. As long as all the old Maozi rush through the wreckage of the tank, fire on me..."

The rate of fire of the [-]mm caliber anti-aircraft cannon is definitely not covered.As soon as the machine guns and anti-aircraft guns sounded, blood mist rose from the old Maozi's offensive formation.Not only that, but the entire position was enveloped by a large amount of smoke and dust rising rapidly due to the huge power of the artillery.

Relying on the powerful penetrating power of the cannon, at least half of the old Maozi was ordered by the cannon to fall into a pool of blood in just one round of shooting.

Although the old Maozi soldier who reacted immediately fell to the ground.However, their concealment can block ordinary machine guns, but not artillery.

The raindrop-like cannons, still flying like rain, kept flying close to the ground, shooting at the bodies of these old men.

In the end, less than 50 people in a battalion of the Soviet Red Army successfully escaped the fire of the air defense battalion.The remaining old Maozi officers and soldiers turned into corpses and fell bloody on the offensive road.It was directly torn into bloody fragments by large-caliber guns, and not even a complete body was left behind.

Although the actions of the air defense battalion caused very heavy casualties to the Soviet offensive troops.However, Lieutenant General Yev, who had made up his mind to go against his ideas, still launched battalion-level tentative attacks on the 55th regiment without interruption.
