Rebirth of the Republic of China: The Rise of China

Tooth for tooth

Bai Chongxi nodded thoughtfully, and analyzed: "According to the reality of the battle report I got: Although the Tenth Regiment built a large number of trench fortifications on the position, it still lost more than [-] people in the Japanese artillery strike. If it were not Commander Zhang made a quick decision and ordered the air force and artillery to provide fire support. The Tenth Regiment's position may have been broken through by the Japanese..."

Zhang Yusheng nodded, and responded: "Yes, the deputy chief of staff... the battle just now was too thrilling... If the two air force bomber brigades were one minute late, the whole battle outcome would deviate from our control, and even So let the little devil escape, please encircle us..."

The doubt on Mr. Luo Zhang's face became even more confused, and he subconsciously asked Bai Chongxi: "Deputy Chief of Staff, what do you mean..."

Bai Chongxi did not give a clear answer. After a short thought, he asked the two men: "The two division commanders, with the level of equipment of the Japanese, can break through our army's trench defense line with the support of heavy artillery and air force. If they are well-equipped For us, how long do you think it will take us to break through such trenches..."

Zhang Yusheng's eyes lit up, and he replied thoughtfully: "According to the information, the Japanese army has almost no anti-tank artillery that can destroy our medium tanks, and their heavy artillery was almost destroyed in the breakout battle just now... I can be sure that with the powerful assault capability of our tanks, superior artillery and air force, we can break through the position within half an hour at the latest..."

Although Luo Zhang didn't open his mouth, he could be sure of Luo Zhang's answer to Zhang Yusheng from the expression of approval on his face.full of confidence……

Getting the answer he wanted from the two of them, Bai Chongxi did not continue to hide it.Picking up a baton, he quickly drew a big arrow on the sand table.He opened his mouth and explained: "Although our strength is limited, it is still very safe to draw an infantry regiment from the limited strength. An infantry regiment plus the tank regiment that has been serving as the reserve team, plus our army. Superior artillery fire and air power, this will be a very powerful assault force..."

Speaking of this, the baton in Bai Chongxi's hand pointed directly to the arrow he had just drawn, and said: "Everyone look at this offensive line, use the assault force I just mentioned. Attack along this line, and eventually How long will it take us to penetrate the entire Japanese position?"

Although he didn't know the purpose of Bai Chongxi's arrangement, Zhang Yusheng, a subordinate, still analyzed very dutifully: "From the perspective of the sand table, the length of the entire assault route is one kilometer. Although the Japanese army built a large number of trenches on the position, their No matter how many troops there are, there is no ability to dig all this area into trenches in just over a week... So I judge. What we need to break through is the two outermost trench groups built by the Japanese army. As for the sunset we need to face The strength is about one infantry regiment...according to the assault capability of the tank regiment and the artillery configuration of our army, as long as the air force and ground artillery are well coordinated. Such a route of assault can be completed in an hour and a half at most..."

"In other words, we only need one and a half hours. We can completely separate the two Japanese infantry regiments scattered in this area from their main force..." Bai Chongxi nodded and asked with a serious face.

Zhang Yusheng assured loudly: "Please don't worry, the deputy chief of staff. It will definitely be taken within an hour and a half. If this assault force is given to my command, and a sufficient number of artillery and fighter planes are deployed to support me anytime and anywhere. If within an hour and a half If you can’t complete the task, I, Zhang Yusheng, will come to see you..."

Just as Zhang Yusheng made his promise loudly, Bai Chongxi's serious face was covered with a smile unconsciously.Seeing this, combined with what Bai Chongxi said just now, Zhang Yusheng finally showed an expression of enlightenment on his face.Facing Bai Chongxi, he tentatively asked: "Deputy chief of staff. You mean to divide the little devils in this area bit by bit, and our National Defense Forces will eat them bit by bit..."

"That's the truth..." Bai Chongxi affirmed.

"The Japanese army surrounded by us is like a big steamed bun in front of us. Since we can't eat it like a steamed bun, we can only tear it up and eat it bit by bit, and finally get the whole Victory in the battle..."

After finishing speaking, he suddenly realized something in front of him.And the two subordinates who fell into deep thought again opened their mouths to analyze: "An infantry regiment plus a tank regiment, under the cover of a large number of artillery and aircraft, quickly divided the two infantry regiments of the Japanese army in this area. Then, in conjunction with this The defensive forces of our army in the area, with the support of superior air force and ground artillery, will quickly eat it. As long as the first division and annihilation battle is won, then we will have at least one more infantry regiment in our hands. At that time, It will be much easier to carry out the second division and annihilation battle..."

"Judging from the comparison of troops, this kind of division and annihilation battle is like a virtuous circle. The more Japanese troops we annihilate, the more mobile troops we will have. According to my preliminary estimate, as long as we launch three divisions of the same scale In the battle of annihilation, the mobile force in our hands will exceed one main division. At that time, on the entire Tonghua battlefield, we will have enough troops to fight the Japanese army in a decisive battle, eat them in one fell swoop, and end the battle..."

After listening to Bai Chongxi's strategic conception, the two teachers who were deep in thought finally showed relaxed smiles on their faces.

At this time, Master Luo Zhang still reminded with a little worry: "Deputy Chief of Staff, although the Japanese army failed to break through an hour ago. However, I am still worried that the Japanese army will understand our true strategic thinking. In order not to be completely annihilated by us, we recklessly launched an attack on our defense forces. In that case, we will face at least two, or even three-sided battles. Wouldn’t it be too risky..."

Luo Zhang's voice fell, and before Bai Chongxi could speak, the smiling Zhang Yusheng had already answered: "Old Luo, you think too much... To be honest, I really hope that the little devils surrounded by us will have a little courage." In this way, we can more easily destroy the Japanese army in the encirclement. After all, our attack on the Japanese army and the Japanese army's attack on us are two completely different concepts... Don't forget. On the current battlefield, our National Defense Forces have an absolute superiority in artillery fire and air force... As long as the little devils dare to come. Once we pass the artillery fire, no matter how many little devils come, they will be bombed by our shells. Their Japanese hometown... As for The three-sided battle you mentioned is even more. Although our air force is limited, the two HNA regiments at Dalian Airport can provide us with air support at any time..."

After finishing speaking, without waiting for Luo Zhang to react, he shifted his eyes to Bai Chongxi with a sly face, and said, "Deputy chief of staff. You can't count your words... I just promised me that this commando team will be composed of I will personally conduct the command, and ask the deputy chief of staff to issue an order immediately. I will definitely cut off this piece of fat from the little devil in the shortest possible time... and with the cooperation of the corresponding troops, I will eat it neatly into the stomach. "

Bai Chongxi replied with a wry smile: "Okay, Zhang Yusheng, you are sending my army... In that case, the commando team will be handed over to you... Besides, you have to tell the brothers of the tank regiment. During the whole battle, the tank regiment will It played a very important role, almost every division and annihilation battle, the tank regiment will participate in the battle. Therefore, you must tell the tank regiment to prepare for continuous combat..."

"Please don't worry, the deputy chief of staff, and promise to complete the task..." Zhang Yusheng replied excitedly.

Temporary field airport outside Tonghua City.The loss of a full third of the five flying brigades of the Second Air Division had just returned to the airport for two hours.An emergency whistle representing the battle echoed over the airport again.

Dozens of pilots who hurried back to the airport didn't even get a restful sleep.Although very exhausted, he still rushed towards his own fighter plane with high morale.

Soon, the remaining 28 bombers and 12 fighters of the five flight groups rushed off the runway amidst the roar of engines and rushed into the sky...

The plane took off, assembled more than two hundred artillery groups with a diameter of more than [-] mm, and once again raised its black hole muzzle.The artillery kept adjusting the muzzle and the gaps of the shooting personnel, and cooperated with the large number of heavy soldiers of the artillery, and they were not idle.Either carried on the shoulders or carried by people, boxes of shells were continuously sent to the gun positions.

In order to catch the Japanese army by surprise, the first assault point of the national defense force was directly selected by Bai Chongxi as the blocking position of the tenth regiment that had just ended a bloody battle.The commando team led by Zhang Yusheng had just sensed the tenth regiment's position, and the slightly excited voice of the communications soldiers reached Zhang Yusheng's ears.

"Division... Air Force, Artillery Report: The remaining fighters of the Second Air Division are all in the air, ready to carry out air strikes on targets at any time... All artillery groups are ready to fire, and they are ready to fire at any time..."

"Okay..." An excited reply quickly blurted out from teacher Zhang Yusheng's mouth.

Facing the several communication soldiers who were always on standby behind him, he ordered decisively: "Immediately give orders to the air force and artillery, and all attacks will be carried out according to the predetermined plan, and it will start in 5 minutes..."

"Buzz buzz..." A deafening engine roar came from far to near, and it just reached everyone's ears from the sky behind everyone.The remaining forty fighters of the Second Air Division have already appeared above everyone's heads.

Without making the ground troops wait too long, a sharp whistling sound like an alarm quickly sounded in the air in front of the position.Looking in the direction where the sound came from, the three bombers of the finished zigzag division, as if they had suddenly lost power, were head down and smashed towards the ground in an unstoppable manner.

3000m, 2000m…1000m…..

The three bombers had just entered the optimum bombing altitude, and there was a dull roar, which immediately replaced the piercing whistling sound produced by the plane's dive.The three bombers that quickly smashed towards the ground, like an angry lion, raised their noses and began to climb with a roar.

Of course, at the moment when the plane was about to turn around and climb, the nine heavy bombs carried by the three bombers happened to break free from the restraints of the fighter planes, and continued along the bomber's dive track, hitting the ground.

The altitude of 1000 meters is definitely a blink of an eye for a bomb flying at high speed.

Just when the attention of the ground troops had not yet reacted from the series of dazzling movements of the three bombers.The nine aerial bombs, mixed with the whistling sound of piercing the sky, had already disappeared in front of everyone. Under the action of huge gravitational potential energy, they plunged into the ground several meters deep, and finally exploded.

"Boom boom boom..." Nine consecutive earth-shaking explosions sounded from the Japanese army's position several hundred meters away. Huge black mushroom clouds formed at least 50 meters above the ground.

but.Shen Kaiyun, the head of the tenth regiment equipped with binoculars, could clearly see the results of the nine heavy aerial bombs on the Japanese positions.

The bomb exploded directly at a depth of several meters from the ground.A ball of orange-red fire was like a volcanic eruption.Quickly spewed out from the point of impact.Then, with the help of the huge shock wave generated by the bomb explosion, mixed with a large amount of dust, even the little devil's stumped limbs and blood, the blood quickly swept to the surroundings at a speed invisible to the naked eye.

Looking around, all the Japanese positions that were swept by the flames, no matter if they were living little devils.The sandbag bunkers that stood in front of the flames were all leveled and scorched without exception.Just like a typhoon passing through, the Japanese positions within a radius of tens of meters around the impact point were directly bulldozed and turned into scorched black.

Of course, the huge power of the blockbuster is in addition to killing and wounding the Japanese army on the surface of the ground.The explosion that occurred several meters below the surface directly blasted a huge crater with a depth of more than five meters and a diameter of more than 20 meters in the Japanese position.Located within the scope of the bomb crater, whether it is the trench fortifications that the Japanese army has worked so hard to dig.The caves used for artillery defense were all completely destroyed without exception.into ruins...

One blockbuster can produce such a huge result, not to mention nine blockbusters exploded together... as the flames and dust covering the surface of the Japanese position slowly dissipated.Nine huge craters scattered in the Japanese positions are like craters on the surface of the moon.Tell the Japanese defenders about the great power of the blockbuster on the battlefield.

Before Shen Kaiyun and the others, who were holding binoculars, could react from their shock, three more bombers, with sharp and ear-piercing alarm whistles, began to dive and drop bombs on the Japanese positions.

Round after round, four rounds dived and dropped bombs, and more than 30 heavy bombs passed.The entire Japanese position in front of the tenth regiment's position, at least on the surface, can no longer find a complete position...

And at this moment, at least hundreds of shells flew over everyone's heads at the same time, and the huge whistling sound of piercing the air suddenly reached everyone's ears.Then, one after another, the sound of dense shell explosions that could not be distinguished soon sounded from the Japanese position in front of them.

In less than five seconds after the Japanese army's position calmed down, at least two hundred orange fireballs mixed with a lot of black smoke exploded in the blink of an eye.At the same time, the Japanese army positions in Nuo Da were immediately shrouded in a large amount of gunpowder smoke produced by the shell explosion.

Although I couldn't see the tragic situation of the Japanese army's position with my own eyes, the rumbling artillery sounded continuously through the Japanese army's position.Shen Kaiyun, the head of the Tenth Regiment, had a joyful feeling on his face.Regardless of Zhang Yusheng who was standing beside him, he said bluntly to himself: "Retribution, really retribution... You little devils, you also have today, today I will let you taste the taste of being bombed, taste it Taste the bombs of our Wehrmacht...."

As soon as the words fell, Huang Longxiang, the chief of staff of the Tenth Regiment, followed closely behind and echoed: "You are right, Tuanzuo, this is retribution. Give an eye for an eye, let the little devil also taste the taste of being bombed... If it weren't for our Tenth Regiment The loss was heavy, I really want to lead the team personally, and together with the commando, break into the Japanese army's position, let the Japanese army taste the feeling of being passively beaten and massacred..."

But at this moment, Zhang Yusheng, who was standing beside him, suddenly put down his binoculars, and said to Shen Kaiyun and Huang Longxiang, who were beside him with relieved faces, "Commander Shen, Chief of Staff Huang, you are both right, this It is the tit for tat of our National Defense Forces. In the attack and assault later, our tank regiment will let the Japanese army know what is a real tank unit, a real tank assault... As for you, although you cannot participate in the battle, the commando Brothers, I will definitely avenge you, and let the Japanese army on the opposite side taste what it is like to fight an eye for an eye, so you can relax and watch the show later, and see how the little devil on the other side was slaughtered by the commando brothers..."

"Yes, Master Zhang..."

When the Japanese army's position was bombed by the air force and the shells of the artillery group were hit by wind and rain, hundreds of tanks from the tank regiment who rushed to the ten regiment's blockade position, accompanied by the roar of engines, appeared on the tenth place under the cover of various explosions. The rear of the regiment.

Soon, the head of the tank regiment, who carried the rank of colonel on his shoulders, trotted to stand in front of Zhang Yusheng, and reported with a hot face: "Reporting sir, the tank regiment was ordered to report, please issue an order..."

As soon as the voice fell, the commander of an infantry regiment that Bai Chongxi rushed to the whole army ran over and reported: "Report to the division commander, all the officers and soldiers of the [-]rd division and [-]th regiment have been ordered to come and report, please give orders... "

After taking a deep look at the Japanese army positions that had been completely shrouded in gunpowder smoke, Zhang Yusheng, who also had a hot expression on his face, ordered decisively: "Everyone, I have issued a military order to the deputy chief of staff to complete the entire assault mission within one and a half hours. Therefore, during the battle, all units must cooperate closely to display the prestige of our National Defense Forces. Let the Japanese army on the opposite side know what a real attack is, and use an eye for an eye..." (To be continued..)
