Rebirth of the Republic of China: The Rise of China

Like a broken bamboo

"Boom..." The sound of artillery covering the battlefield had just stopped, and then the deafening roar of the engine rang out from the ten regiment's position. Two torrents of steel composed of more than 100 medium-sized tanks, with more than 2000 officers and soldiers of the National Defense Forces behind them, slowly opened their positions and advanced towards the Japanese positions that had been razed to the ground by artillery fire.

"Baga, the Chinese are attacking. Are there any survivors on the battlefield? The living warriors will immediately counterattack, counterattack..." Facing the torrent of steel getting closer and closer to the battlefield in front of him, a surviving little devil, a major officer, , ignoring the rain of bullets above his head, he roared anxiously at the position that had been razed to the ground.

Soon, one after another, the ghost soldiers who were completely buried in the trench by the floating soil began to slowly pop out of their heads.Then, amidst the roar of the officer beside him, he picked up his weapon in a dazed face, lay down in the ruins and started to fight back.

"Reporting sir, there are less than two infantry squadrons left in our forward position. The heavy weapons equipped by the troops were either destroyed or buried, and they were almost lost... The two infantry squadrons have two heavy machine guns left in total. 6 machine guns..." A little devil captain officer stumbled along the almost flattened trench and rushed to the only surviving major officer in the position.After paying a military salute, he reported to the major officer with a look of horror.

"There are less than two infantry squadrons left in the two infantry brigades..." the major officer asked suspiciously.

"Hayi..." the captain's subordinate affirmed.

"Bageya Road, how could this happen? How could there be less than two infantry squadrons left... The squadron dispatched so many tanks. Without heavy weapons, how can we hold the position. Block the squadron's attack.... "The major officer with a look of astonishment said to himself with a look of panic.

subsequently.Facing the captain's subordinates in front of him, he ordered decisively: "What are you still doing in a daze, immediately report the situation here to the headquarters and ask for reinforcements. The rest of the people, immediately counterattack, even if they are the last one, they must hold the position. Block the squadron..."

After finishing speaking, the Shao Zuo officer didn't care about the captain's subordinates who hadn't reacted in front of him.Then pick up a rifle.Just rush to the forefront of the battlefield...

At this moment, the torrent of steel composed of more than 100 tanks has advanced to 300 meters away from the Japanese position.

On the Japanese position, with limited light and heavy weapons, they are constantly pouring ammunition into the offensive troops of the National Defense Forces in front of the position at their fastest rate of fire.However, among the bullets they fired, even the most powerful heavy machine gun bullets hit the front protective armor of the medium tank.Also failed to obtain the slightest victory.

Facing the heavy rain of bullets fired by the Japanese army, the torrent of steel composed of more than a hundred steel monsters was still unstoppable, leading thousands of infantry behind.Roaring and advancing towards the Japanese positions.

At the same time, the more than fifty vehicles directly in front of the first fifty tanks were not idle under heavy machine guns. More than 50 tongues of flame have just spewed out from the front of the tank, forming an impenetrable bullet net.It completely enveloped the Japanese positions.The devils who had just exposed their heads from the edge of the position hadn't reacted yet.Just shot in the head and turned into a corpse...

Wehrmacht attacking units were getting closer and closer to their positions.With a limited number of more than 300 subordinates, they were also overwhelmed by the opponent's firepower, unable to lift their heads, and had no ability to fight back.A thick atmosphere of despair quickly spread across the smoky battlefield.

The ashen-faced Japanese Major, looking for the right opportunity, quickly fired a bullet at the opposite tank without any results, and finally dropped his rifle, giving up this meaningless firepower counterattack.

Then, facing his subordinates who were also lying in the ruins and stopped shooting, he said with a heavy face: "Warriors, the Chinese tank division is too powerful. Now, there is only one last way to stop the Chinese For the sake of the future of the Great Japanese Empire, the time has come for all of you to sacrifice your life. Now I order you to immediately collect explosives, launch a counter-attack against the Chinese attacking forces, and destroy their tanks..."

"Kill it..." Under the cover of limited rifles and light machine guns, more than 50 devils in the first round, holding explosive packs, bravely stood up from the position and prepared to launch a counterattack against the tank regiment .

However, under the heavy rain of bullets overhead, at least 20 devils were beaten into a hornet's nest by the bullets as soon as they jumped up from the position.Then, he fell to the ground motionless and turned into a corpse.

There are more than 30 devils left, although they successfully rushed out of the position.However, without any concealment, their figures were quickly locked on by more than fifty truck-mounted machine guns.In the dull machine gun fire, one after another was hit by bullets, and fell forward to the ground, turning into corpses.

"Baga..." A small team was completely lost in the blink of an eye, and they hadn't achieved any results yet.Even the Japanese Major, who was mentally prepared for failure, couldn't help yelling, clenched his fists, and smashed hard on the ground in front of him.

The lieutenant's subordinate lying beside him asked in horror while his heart ached: "Sir, what should we do next? The general headquarters just called, and the reinforcements will arrive at the position in 10 minutes. Let us continue to hold on to the position." . . . "

In addition to the grief in his heart, the Japanese Major also had a complex emotion of tension and panic in his heart.After all, as long as you are alone, you will be afraid of death.As for the chaotic battle situation in front of him, no matter how he looked at it, he couldn't hold on until the arrival of reinforcements, and ended in failure.

However, thinking of his identity as a major, especially after the Japanese army's harsh military law.The Japanese commander still suppressed the fear in his heart at the first moment, and ordered to the lieutenant's subordinates with a stubborn face: "What else can I do, order the troops to continue to launch counter-assaults, and wait for reinforcements.... The Great Japanese Empire can only die in battle. warriors, cowards who do not flee...."

"Hayi..." the lieutenant said with a farewell face.

However, the lieutenant did not leave immediately, but asked back eagerly: "But, sir, all the explosives we collected have been used up, and the troops have no explosives to use... Only with flesh and blood to carry out a counter-assault , is no different from sending to death..."

"This..." The Japanese Major was already full of fear of death.Because of this plausible reason, he couldn't help but fall into hesitation.

To feel that it is possible for me to continue living.There is no need to die in this position.The lieutenant's subordinates, who were also full of fear of death, quickly seized this opportunity.He continued to persuade: "Sir, we have lost our heavy weapons. We continue to stand here. We can't achieve any results other than death, and we can't even shoot a single shot. For such a meaningless battlefield, It's better to retreat to the rear position. After replenishing weapons, continue to fight with the squadron, and fight to the end. Before dying, you have to pull a back..."

The Japanese Major, who was also full of desire for survival in his heart, after hearing this passage, the expression of hesitation on his face became moved.After thinking for a while, he said with a embarrassed face: "But, if we withdraw from the position without authorization, the superior will investigate, what should we do..."

The lieutenant said with a mysterious face: "Sir, you are wrong. We did not retreat without authorization to embarrass the imperial army of the Japanese Empire. Instead, we temporarily switched to the battle with insufficient weapons and equipment. After finding a favorable opportunity .Relying on the equipment supplied to us by our superiors, we can inflict maximum damage on the Chinese attacking troops and complete the due mission of the imperial army. I believe that the superiors will understand our difficulties..."

Under the instigation of his subordinates, the Japanese army major who was already full of fear of death.Facing the approaching torrent of tanks.Without the slightest hesitation, he quickly took the remaining 100 remaining soldiers with him.Like a bereaved dog, evacuate the position.

On an armored command vehicle following the steel torrent, the communicator who had been wearing earphones had just put down the earphones of the walkie-talkie in his hand, and a voice full of excitement reached Zhang Yusheng's ears...

"Reporting to the division seat, the tank regiment sends an urgent message... The tank regiment has successfully occupied the frontier positions of the Japanese army. More than 100 remnants of the Japanese army who held on to the forward positions fled without fighting. The tank regiment requests the next step of combat instructions, whether to pursue the remnants of the Japanese army..."

Less than 10 minutes after the start of the assault, the frontier positions of the Japanese army were successfully occupied.Facing this victory far beyond his imagination, Li Guosheng finally showed a smile on his dignified face.Facing the signal soldiers who were waiting for the order, he decisively ordered: "The tank regiment and the seventh regiment each leave a company to defend their positions. The remaining troops, led by the tank regiment, will continue to pursue the rout of the Japanese army, and take advantage of the situation to attack the Japanese army. The second line of defense launches an assault and takes it."

"Yes, Master seat..."

As the red light of the car radio began to flash continuously, the two torrents of steel that had just rushed to the Japanese army's position left behind ten tanks, and then attacked forward again with the deafening roar of engines.

No matter how fast the little devil's rout was, it couldn't be faster than the tank's assault speed.

More than 100 remnant soldiers led by the Japanese army's major had just escaped less than 300 meters from the position.The remaining 90 tanks of the tank regiment had rushed out of the Japanese forward position, followed closely behind the rout of the Japanese army, and chased after them.

"Da da da..." Dozens of vehicles roared at the heavy machine guns, and the dense heavy machine gun bullets followed the footsteps of the Japanese army and shot towards their backs.

The dozens of devil soldiers who fled at the end didn't even have time to react, and they were smashed into a hornet's nest by bullets.Under the inertia of running away, he fell forward and fell to the ground, turning into a corpse.

"Sir, the squadron is catching up, it's their tank unit..." The lieutenant's subordinates who followed closely beside the major said with a terrified expression when they heard the continuous gunshots behind them.

The Japanese Major, who also heard the sound of bullets flying past his ears, said angrily: "Baga, the Chinese bullets have hit us, don't I know... Order the warriors Let's speed up, 2 minutes at the latest, we can get back to the second line of defense..."

"Hayi..." The lieutenant officer who received the order didn't care whether the order was passed on or not.Speed ​​up the pace directly to keep up with the major's ever-increasing retreat speed.

300m...200m...100m...

Just when the second-line position is only the last 100 meters away from him, he can jump into the trench in a maximum of ten seconds and avoid the bullets constantly shooting at him behind him.A burst of more dull gunshots, which made the Japanese Major feel a little worried, suddenly came from behind.

Then, a sharp pain surged from his chest to his head.At the same time, the major, who was still accelerating his retreat just now, suddenly felt that his physical strength was rapidly dissipating.He stared at his chest with disbelief.A huge wrist-thick blood hole with blood bubbling out all over the place.It suddenly appeared on my chest...

"Baga, how could it be...how could it be like this...it's just so...a little..." The Japanese army major with a look of astonishment.With the unwillingness before dying, he fell heavily in a pool of blood, dying with regret.

The tank regiment, which was chasing after the Japanese army, watched helplessly as hundreds of Japanese troops were about to return to their second line of defense and flee.He resolutely carried out the order of Bai Chongxi, the deputy chief of staff. During the battle, he tried his best to kill and injure the head of the Japanese army's tank regiment.

The imperial soldiers who fled back from the front line were shot and killed at the last moment, and the Japanese soldiers who stood firm on the second line of defense were immediately shrouded in vengeful anger.Seeing that the steel torrent formed by the tank regiment has come into range.The major commander immediately ordered all light and heavy weapons and began to dump ammunition towards the tank regiment.

Under the order of Neiji Okamura, a squadron of anti-aircraft artillery was quickly mobilized to the second-line position. Under the expectant gaze of thousands of Japanese troops on the position, it quickly sprayed a tank regiment 300 meters away, completely wrapped in orange flames. Armor-piercing shells.

However, what surprised thousands of Japanese soldiers was that the shell exploded.The medium-sized tanks of the tank regiment hit by the armor-piercing projectiles still spit out thick black smoke after only a short pause on the charge road.Continue to charge forward.

"Baga, why is this happening? Why can't our coastal defense artillery destroy the opponent's tank? What kind of tank is the squadron equipped with? Why does it have such a strong protection capability..." The squadron leader of the Japanese coastal defense artillery squadron, He muttered to himself in despair.

At this moment, there were more than 75 tanks left in the tank regiment.Already on the march, tank guns with a caliber up to [-] mm.All aimed at the anti-tank gun positions that the Japanese army had just exposed.

"Boom boom boom..." The sound of the cannon sounded, and there were bunches of orange flames.It quickly spewed out from the muzzle of the tank gun.The cannonballs completely wrapped in flames, as if they had eyes, hit their targets one after another and exploded.

The more than ten artillery pieces equipped by the Japanese anti-tank artillery squadron were covered by a large number of tank artillery shells before they could be transferred...

After eliminating the only anti-tank gun that threatened them, more than 75 [-]mm tank guns that could already be called large-caliber guns for the Japanese army quickly shifted their targets and fired high-explosive tank gun shells one after another. It kept pouring into the Japanese positions that were constantly shooting bullets.

The tank artillery shells continued to destroy the Japanese positions and the light and heavy firepower points exposed by the Japanese army.High-level dual-purpose large-caliber machine guns, vehicle-mounted machine guns...continuously suppress the Japanese infantry hidden in the trenches...

The entire tank regiment, with the assistance of more than [-] infantry behind it, was like an efficient killing machine, constantly harvesting the lives of the Japanese army's positions hundreds of meters away.At the same time, the unstoppable torrent of steel rapidly pushed towards the second line of defense of the Japanese army at a speed of at least two meters per second...

"Your Excellency, Captain, the firepower of the Chinese is too fierce. The troops have suffered heavy casualties, and they can't stop the offensive of the Chinese tank group at all..." A lieutenant officer with a face full of gunpowder, with a face full of gunpowder, rushed to report to the captain of the major road.

"Nani... suffered heavy casualties, how could it be so fast, we have a strengthened brigade, how many troops are left in the army to continue fighting..." The Japanese Major, who was also unable to lift his head under the rain of bullets, led With a face full of disbelief, he asked back.

"Sir, the Chinese tank artillery fire is too fierce... More than [-]% of the positions of the light and heavy machine guns have been destroyed by the artillery fire, and the infantry has also suffered heavy losses... Preliminary estimates, the entire brigade has only the last two infantry squadrons left..." Lieutenant Answered with a look of horror.

A complex expression full of shock and horror quickly enveloped the captain's face.Facing his subordinates, he said to himself almost in despair: "There are only two infantry squadrons left?... Now I finally understand why the front positions of the two infantry brigades of mercenaries retreated after only holding on for 10 minutes. It's not that our warriors are not brave enough, but that the enemy is too powerful...Why the squadron has such a powerful assault capability? Didn't your Excellency tell us that the squadron won't be able to attack us in a short time The ability, but where did the assault force in front of us come from, could it be that the squadron fell from the sky..."

Just when the desperate Japanese Major was about to continue, a high-explosive tank shell landed less than two meters away from him.

The shell exploded, and the Japanese Major, who was the supreme commander of the army, was blown to pieces without even having time to react.Of course, several guards and the lieutenant officer who came to report were bombed back to his hometown in Japan together with the Japanese major.

The commander died on the battlefield, and the remnants of the Japanese army, which had lost more than half, quickly fell into a chaotic state without a leader.

All infantry squads, and even infantry squads, were completely dispersed amidst the sound of rumbling artillery.After that, they fought independently on the defense line that stretched for one kilometer, without belonging to each other.

Of course, the overwhelming tank regiment would not let go of this excellent opportunity to attack. Faced with the chaotic firepower fired by the Japanese army, a tank gun and a vehicle-mounted machine gun began to pour ammunition at the Japanese position at their fastest rate of fire. .

Following the tanks, thousands of officers and soldiers of the Seventh Regiment of the National Defense Forces, completely under the protection of the tank regiment, also continued to pour ammunition into the Japanese positions through the gap between the tanks.With accurate hit rate, shoot and kill all the devils who dare to show their heads on the Japanese army positions.

"Tank regiment, don't stop, continue to attack... Use our tracks, press the corpse of the little devil and rush to their position..." The head of the tank regiment, who was controlling a heavy machine gun with a face full of excitement, pointed at the vehicle. On the walkie-talkie, he ordered with a frenzied expression on his face.

"Boom..." A medium-sized tank weighing more than ten tons, under the terrified eyes of the Japanese army on the position, was like an invulnerable steel monster, rushing towards the Japanese position quickly.Then, relying on its invulnerable body, it began to rampage in the Japanese positions.Or use a machine gun to kill the Japanese soldiers in front of you, or drive a tank directly, and run over him amidst the little devil's terrified screams... (to be continued...)
