Rebirth of the Republic of China: The Rise of China

"What way..." Colonel Skoda subconsciously asked.

At the same time, more than a dozen regiment-level commanders, large and small, in the entire command center focused their attention on Colonel Breeze at the same time, waiting for the colonel to answer the questions that suddenly arose in everyone's minds.

The head of the Boulian regiment did not keep everyone waiting for too long, so he replied in a deep voice: "My answer is very simple, that is to negotiate with the Chinese army that surrounds us. Rescue thousands of Red Army warriors who were frostbitten, and save their lives from dying..."

The answer of the head of the Bulieb group was like a stone thrown into the water, which immediately caused huge waves in the entire headquarters.There were more than a dozen regimental leaders with different ranks, some expressed their agreement and support, and of course some expressed their opposition, and clamored for the execution of Colonel Bulieb.

Of course, in general, the heads of the delegation who agree with this proposal account for the majority.As for those who opposed, with one exception, they were all young officers who had just been promoted on the battlefield, did not have much combat experience, and were full of admiration for the Soviet. [

Just when everyone was arguing about this issue.Commander-in-Chief Colonel Skoda's angry roar suddenly sounded from the headquarters: "That's enough, shut up... I'm asking you to come up with a feasible way out for the tens of thousands of Red Army soldiers, not to quarrel. ...If anyone of you has a more feasible solution, you can bring it up immediately. Otherwise, keep your mouths shut. Don’t forget, you are the commanders of the Soviet Red Army, representing thousands of Red Army soldiers under your command..."

Because of the sudden anger of Colonel Skoda.The headquarters fell into deathly silence again.

After a full 5 minutes, no one stood up to express their opinions.Colonel Skoda's gaze once again rested on Captain Bradley.He opened his mouth and asked, "Comrade Bulieya, how sure are you about negotiating with the Chinese army? After all, this is related to the lives of thousands of Red Army warriors?"

After a brief analysis, Colonel Bradley replied: "Commander-in-chief, comrades, judging from the battle situation in the past two days, the Chinese army that surrounded us did not intend to wipe us out with guns on the battlefield, but to surround us. Let us surrender. Since the Chinese army does not want to blow us all to death on the battlefield, it means that we are still very important to the Chinese army. We alive are still very important to them. Under such a premise, I am [-]% sure , can be said to persuade the Chinese army to rescue thousands of Red Army soldiers who have been frostbitten..."

"Eighty percent sure, it's enough for us who are already in a desperate situation..." Skoda's principal breathed a sigh of relief and affirmed.

Then, facing the Colonel Bu Lie in front of him, he ordered with a dignified expression: "Comrade Bu Lie. Now, in the name of the commander-in-chief, I appoint you as the negotiator to negotiate with the Chinese army, and immediately rush to the Chinese position to negotiate with the Chinese army." Carry out negotiations to save the lives of thousands of Red Army soldiers. Of course, if possible. Let the Chinese army provide us with a batch of food as much as possible..."

Facing Colonel Skoda's almost ridiculous order, Colonel Breeze could only show a grin full of resentment.As a battle-hardened veteran, Colonel Brewer knows it all too well.The purpose of the Chinese army's siege of itself is very simple to say, that is to capture itself.Tens of thousands of Red Army prisoners of war were used as bargaining chips in negotiations with the Soviet government.

Since the ultimate goal of the Chinese army is to capture itself, the idea of ​​letting the Chinese army provide itself with rations is just a daydream.Something that is simply impossible to achieve.However, after seeing Colonel Skoda's eyes full of expectations, he still confirmed on the surface: "Please rest assured, Commander-in-Chief, I will definitely do my best, for the sake of the tens of thousands of Red Army soldiers, and for the great Soviet government..."

The blocking position of the 55th Regiment of Yilan's 100th Division was supposed to be held by one regiment, but at this moment, there was only one infantry battalion left.Not only that, but even the defenders of this battalion lay down on the ground with a spirited face, watching a few hundred meters away, like a group of snails, the more than [-] old men who slowly entered the position did not have the slightest pre-war tension and attention.

After losing two reorganized battalions in a row under the attack of the air defense battalion, Lieutenant General Yev, the commander-in-chief of the Soviet army, immediately adjusted the offensive strength of the troops.The continuous battalion-level attacks have become the current company-level attacks.

Facing more than 100 old men, no matter how much Wang Hong, the commander of the air defense battalion, was dragged down and how much medicine he had, he would not be able to use cannons to fight mosquitoes, wasting precious cannons on some infantry for nothing.

As a result, the task of holding on to the entire defense line immediately fell into the hands of the infantry of the 55th regiment.

Liang Shaodong's unit in the 55st Battalion of the [-]th Regiment, because of the protection of the air defense battalion, has not participated in the battle directly, so it was no surprise that he took on this task without the slightest challenge.

Fighting for several hours, although the first battalion repelled eight company-level attacks of the Soviet army in a row.However, the results obtained by the troops are very few. More than 100 Soviet old men often began to retreat when the defenders had just shot a round.

Looking around, in front of the entire blocking position, except for the scattered corpses of about [-] old men, the first battalion that fought for several hours did not achieve any other results.

Liang Shaodong, the commander of the first battalion, was lying on the ground in a daze, and when he was counting the results of the whole battalion with a telescope, the voice of the first company commander sounded: "Battlemaster, the old man has started to attack again, and it is still an infantry company. Once, it's my turn to go to the battlefield one after another..."

Battalion Commander Liang Shaodong waved his hand impatiently and said, "It's okay to hand over the battle to the first company, but I remember that in the blockade just now, the third company left at least [-] old dead bodies. As long as you promise to keep There are more corpses of Lao Maozi than Sanlian, so I will leave it to you..."

The first company commander, who had already thought of a specific solution, replied confidently without even thinking about it: "Please rest assured, battalion commander, if I can't leave at least fifty dead bodies of old men in this battle, my surname will be written backwards." ..."

After finishing speaking, he ordered loudly to the subordinates hiding in the trenches around him: "Brothers in the first company, prepare me for battle. Fight according to the tactics just specified, artillery. Machine guns, semi-automatic rifles. Sniper rifles. Echelon Cooperate, let the old man take a good look at our company's combat effectiveness..."[

finished.The first company commander personally picked up a semi-automatic rifle, and after a short search in the Lao Maozi formation, he positioned the target on a second lieutenant officer in the center of the Lao Maozi formation.

The commander of the company was like this, and the remaining more than a hundred riflemen raised their semi-automatic rifles one after another, bypassed the old Maozi infantry rushing to the front, and aimed their guns at the old Maozi officers and soldiers in the center of the attacking formation.As for the dozens of old men who walked in the front to take pictures, they were handed over to the ten general-purpose machine guns equipped by the whole company without any accident.

"The company commander, the artillery platoon and the sniper team have all aimed at the rear of the Lao Maozi formation. Just waiting for your order to shoot..." Along the winding trench, a company deputy company commander quickly ran to the company commander reported.

The company commander who was raising his gun to aim, and was already in the firing state, subconsciously ordered: "Yes, tell the brothers, take the sound of my gun as an order. As soon as the gun sounds, let me shoot all the bullets in the barrel of the gun. The old man will only give us a few seconds to shoot at most... there is no time for us to switch..."

"Yes, company commander..."

"Bang..." A dull gunshot sounded from the barrel of the rifle in his hand.Wrapped in flames, a shot quickly flew out of the barrel at a speed invisible to the naked eye, and flew towards the old second lieutenant officer who the company commander had already aimed at.

The moment the second lieutenant Lao Maozi fell in response, a burst of dense and messy gunshots rang out in succession.

Of course, with the sound of the gunshots, there were also the roar of six cannons across the sky...

Although the continuous firepower configuration disperses the frontal firepower density.However, it has limited firepower.The greatest power was exerted, and every shot shot by the soldiers was used as much as possible.Avoid re-use.

The situation displayed at the scene at this moment just proved the rationality of this arrangement...

The sound of gunfire not only charged the old man in the front row, but fell to the ground in pieces like felled wheat yyng.The old men who were behind the offensive formation, or even at the tail, were not spared either.Six cannons exploded, and at least ten old men were affected and fell into a pool of blood.

All old men who were targeted by snipers, without exception, all turned into corpses.Coupled with the results of hundreds of semi-automatic rifles, only Lao Maozi attacked the middle and rear of the formation, and at least Forty and Lao Maozi fell in the blink of an eye.Coupled with the results obtained by ten general-purpose machine guns, the infantry company that Lao Maozi was in charge of attacking directly lost more than half of it...

At some point, Xiong Shaowen, commander of the [-]th Division, and Zhang Guoqiang, chief of staff, had already arrived at the forefront of the battlefield.Seeing a company of old men being shot and killed half of them by their own troops in the blink of an eye, he subconsciously let out a cry of applause.

Seeing the top officer of the [-]th Division suddenly appearing behind him, Liang Shaodong, who was still in high spirits just now, stood up quickly as if he had been injected with a stimulant in an instant, and reported: "Master, attendees, you guys Why are you here... It's dangerous here, you should go to the headquarters to watch the battle..."

Looking at the Sichuan Army battalion commander who he personally promoted in front of him, Xiong Shaowen did not move, but asked with a smile: "Why is it not safe? Could it be that the strength of your battalion of Liang Shaodong can't stop the old Maozi's company, and can't protect the two of us?" ..."

Liang Shaodong, who was not very talkative, blushed immediately when he was told, and quickly explained: "Master, attendant, it's not that I can't protect you, but I'm afraid of accidents. After all, I don't have eyes..."

Chief of Staff Zhang Guoqiang waved his hand with a smile, and said, "Okay, sir, let's stop joking with Commander Liang. Let's get back to business... Commander Liang, we have something we want to ask you to understand when we come here. You are on the scene After fighting for such a long time, have you noticed anything wrong... The teacher and I have been watching at the headquarters for so long, and I always feel that the old man on the other side is playing with us, or is brewing a conspiracy that we don't know..."

One word awakened the dreamer, and as soon as Zhang Guoqiang's voice fell, the battalion commander Liang Shaodong echoed: "You are right, I also have the same idea... The old man on the other side is not attacking us at all, but delaying Time...yes, it's just delaying time, otherwise, they won't continue to launch meaningless company-scale attacks against us..."

"Delaying time..." Upon hearing these words, Mr. Xiong Shaowen, who had been silent all this time, fell into deep thought.Then, his eyes lit up, and he tentatively asked Chief of Staff Zhang Guoqiang in front of him.

"Chief of Staff. I think Battalion Commander Liang's idea is very likely... The Soviet troops on the opposite side knew that they couldn't break through our position, of course. Even if they broke through our position, they would suffer heavy casualties. They have already given up breaking through our position. The idea of ​​reinforcing tens of thousands of Soviet troops in Jiamusi..."

"There is such a possibility..." Zhang Guoqiang, Chief of Staff who also pondered for a while, affirmed.

Then, he said with a relaxed face: "Master, if the old man really has such an idea, then the task of our [-]th Division will be much easier this time..." [

"Relax..." Teacher Xiong Shaowen nodded noncommittally.

Afterwards, he asked back with a half-smile: "Chief of Staff, our 1000th Division has worked so hard to build such a complete fortification here, is it because of the more than [-] corpses and these tank wrecks left by the old Maozi in front of our position?" ..."

Chief of Staff Zhang Guoqiang frowned, as if realizing something.Looking directly at Master Xiong Shaowen in front of him with a pair of eyes, he opened his mouth and asked: "Master, what do you mean..."

"If the old man on the other side really has the idea of ​​playing us, then it's time for us to change our battle plan. If we spend such a big price, if we don't dig a piece of fat from this old man, then This battle was too useless. Even if you complete the task, you will be ridiculed by the brother troops..." Xiong Shaowen, the division commander, said firmly.

For Xiong Shaowen's bold decision, Chief of Staff Zhang Guoqiang's first reaction was shock, and after the shock, he was shrouded in deep worry.He reminded the commander who seemed a bit too "arrogant" in front of him: "Master, don't be impulsive. The Soviet army standing in front of us is not 2 to 2 people, but a 2 army with excellent equipment and sufficient medicine. And We ourselves have less than 5 troops at full strength. Is it a bit too much to use [-] to attack [-]..."

Xiong Shaowen smiled noncommittally, and replied: "Although it's a bit overstated. But it's not impossible to complete..."

"Besides, my goal is not to wipe out the [-] old men in front of me. I want to cut off a large piece of fat from them. Not much to say, cut off [-] troops from these old men. I believe we are still capable."

Seeing that Zhang Guoqiang wanted to continue to say something, Master Xiong Shaowen waved his hand directly, and said: "Chief of Staff, don't worry, this decision was not made on a whim. It was made after careful consideration. final decision."

"In the Jiamusi battle a few days ago, although my [-]th Division had a training session, that battle was not so much a training session as a one-sided tactical exercise. My idea is that through this battle, Let the brothers of the [-]th Division really understand our opponents and be familiar with our opponents' style of play."

"At the same time, I also told other friendly troops of the National Defense Forces that our [-]th Division is also the main division of the National Defense Forces, and we can also fight hard against the troops of the great powers, and even pull out teeth..."

Under the instigation of Master Xiong Shaowen, the hesitation on the face of Chief of Staff Zhang Guoqiang was gradually covered by firmness.Facing Xiong Shaowen in front of him, he said in a firm tone of support: "Since this is the case, Master, I, Lao Zhang, will do it with you this time. Through this battle, I will win the reputation of my [-]th Division and the Sichuan Army..."

After finishing speaking, he continued to ask Xiong Shaowen with a serious face and suggested: "Master, since we have decided to fight, we must confirm whether the old Maozi's army on the other side has really decided not to reinforce Jiamusi. Only in this way can we Deploy troops with confidence, move the troops deployed on the second and third lines of defense to the forefront, and launch a counterattack against the old Maozi's main force at any time..."

Xiong Shaowen, who already had a rough idea of ​​the battle in mind, followed up and echoed: "Not only must the infantry be deployed, the artillery unit also needs to move forward. If we really plan to cut a piece of fat from this old man, then the artillery Troops will play a vital role in this meat-cutting operation."

Speaking of this, Xiong Shaowen seemed to have thought of something, and said, "However, the suggestion that the chief of staff just said is necessary. If you want to really implement this, you must be [-]% sure about Lao Maozi's strategic trend, whether you really give up reinforcements to Jiamusi , break through our line of defense..."

After speaking, Mr. Xiong Shaowen immediately fell into deep thought and began to think about the solution.

It wasn't until 5 minutes later that Master Xiong Shaowen's tightly closed eyes suddenly opened.Afterwards, a sharp edge quickly disappeared from Xiong Shaowen's eyes.Then, facing Zhang Guoqiang in front of him, he said, "There is a way..."

"This group of old men is a heavy mechanized force, not only equipped with a large number of heavy artillery and tanks, but also equipped with a huge number of cars. With such a large number of heavy equipment, if you want to make a U-turn on such a muddy battlefield, there is no one day. It can't be done. If the old man has changed his strategic goal, then now, he has already begun to prepare for the retreat..."

"As long as we ask for reinforcements from the Air Force and ask the Air Force's reconnaissance planes to find out every move of the Soviet Army's position, the next strategic goal of the old man will be clearly displayed in front of us..."

After a brief analysis, Zhang Guoqiang, the chief of staff, affirmed: "Master, this method is feasible... In this way, I will immediately send a telegram to the former finger, requesting the former finger to quickly dispatch the air force to investigate the Soviet positions and assist us in action..." (to be continued... ...)
