Rebirth of the Republic of China: The Rise of China

The Japanese army was frightened

"Yes, Deputy Chief of Staff..." Luo Zhang, who had been staying at the headquarters and was full of longing for the battlefield, replied with a burning face.

About two kilometers away from the battlefield of the National Defense Army battalion-level blockade position, the communication soldier with a walkie-talkie on his shoulder rushed to the battalion commander Li Wenjun with an excited face and reported: "Barracks, the headquarters ordered: one total force, one The devils from the infantry brigade are moving quickly towards our position... The headquarters asked us to swear to block the Japanese attack, and with the support of the Shanpao Battalion directly under the regiment headquarters, eat them..."

"Damn it, we've been guarding here for three days. We've been watching our brother troops kill devils on the battlefield. Now it's finally our turn to play... an infantry brigade, today our battalion will take thousands of little devils Try the blades of our first battalion, whether they are sharp or not..." Li Wenjun, the battalion commander, clenched his fists and said with surprise, as if he had been hit by a golden pancake falling from the sky.

Afterwards, he rushed to the side, and the subordinates who also heard the news decisively ordered: "Brothers, the opportunity God gave us to kill devils has finally come, cheer me up, load the bullets, and get ready for battle . . . "

After speaking, Li Wenjun directly gave up the pistol in his hand, which was suitable for close combat, picked up a semi-automatic rifle, and rushed out of the headquarters.

More than 500 officers and soldiers in the whole battalion were just ready for battle, and the Japanese army's dense offensive formation had already appeared 500 meters in front of the position.Including the battalion commander Li Wenjun, all the officers and soldiers in the battalion inadvertently flashed a greedy expression on their faces.

The deputy battalion commander lying next to Li Wenjun, although also excited, was full of expectations for the upcoming battle.but.He did not forget the numerical superiority still held by the Japanese attacking forces.After glancing at the more than 20 artillery pieces erected behind the position, his eyes lit up.He reminded Li Wenjun: "Battle Commander, do you want to order the artillery to hit the little devils on the opposite side first? Such a dense offensive formation. Make sure that one round of shells will kill at least one small group of devils..."

Li Wenjun shook his head in denial without even thinking about it, and said, "You can't use artillery fire. Once the artillery fire is used in advance, the little devil on the other side may be scared away by us before he starts attacking. Don't forget the front finger." The combat order given to us should be able to eat all the more than 1000 devils in front of us at once..."

After finishing speaking, he gave a serious order to the subordinates around him: "Command the troops, the Japanese attacking troops can only fire after they have attacked to a position of 200 meters. Once the order is received, all general-purpose machine guns and semi-automatic rifles in the whole battalion must use their fastest The rate of fire poured ammunition towards the Japanese army...Three mortar platoons, infantry artillery companies, and regiment headquarters directly under the artillery battalion concentrated all artillery fire to block the Japanese army's rear..."

Over time, the number of general-purpose machine guns equipped in a main battalion of the National Defense Forces has reached an astonishing forty.Plus a semi-automatic rifle for each infantryman.can imagine.The power produced by the whole first battalion's full fire is definitely no less than the power of a hundred light and heavy machine guns firing together...

Under the watchful eyes of battalion commander Li Wenjun, the yellow wave formed by thousands of Japanese troops finally advanced to a position 200 meters away from the blocking position of the first battalion.

As the position of the Wehrmacht is getting closer and closer to him.In addition, there is still no movement from the Wehrmacht position.The charging pace of thousands of Japanese attacking troops also gradually accelerated unconsciously.

But at this moment, an accident happened...

A series of dull gunshots suddenly broke the tranquility of the battlefield.The semi-automatic rifle in the hands of battalion commander Li Wenjun fired at his fastest rate.Eject all the bullets in the magazine.Then, with a slight whistling sound.Quickly flew to the Japanese attacking troops.

The three Japanese soldiers who were charging directly opposite Li Wenjun had just fallen in response, and the subordinates scattered around Li Wenjun, as if they were suddenly shot with chicken blood, desperately pulled the trigger of the weapon in their hands, shooting deadly bullets out of the gun chamber, and fired at the enemy. The Japanese attacking troops rushing towards him.

Immediately, an impenetrable bullet net slashed at the Japanese attacking troops with a death sword.In the blink of an eye, the Japanese soldiers charging in the first two rows were swept to the ground in pieces.

The ultra-high rate of fire of the general-purpose machine gun and the benefits of feeding ammunition from the metal bullet belt are well demonstrated in this firepower attack.

The continuous machine gun fire caused unprecedented damage to the Japanese army before they could react.

Of course, the death of hundreds of Japanese soldiers was not without value.They used their flesh and blood to block the steel storm fired by the soldiers, and gave the comrades behind them a few seconds of reaction and concealment time.

However, just when the remnants of the Japanese army thought they had escaped a catastrophe, the god of death who fell from the sky came to them again and began to reap the increasingly scarce devil lives on the battlefield.

A total of 24 mortars, [-] mountain guns and infantry guns, with a firing rate of at least [-] shells per minute, under the order of the battalion commander Li Wenjun, began to pour shells behind the attack formation where a large number of Japanese troops were assembled.

Under the pressure of his own side's intensive bullet rain, Li Wenjun, who has a telescope, can even clearly see that on the positions where a large number of Japanese attacking troops are assembled, every time a shell explodes, there will be a splotch of blood and the remains of the Japanese army that were blown up by the shell. .

Faced with such a loss, the Japanese attacking troops lying on the ground, unable to move at all, had no other choice but to pray to the sky that the shells would not fall by their side.

Although he had made preparations for the annihilation of the entire army before going into battle, when his subordinates died without any meaning in front of him, a burst of heartbreaking feelings suddenly hit the head of the Japanese army commander.

Staring at a pair of red eyes, he cursed loudly: "Baga, this is not a battle, this is a massacre, a massacre of the warriors of the Great Japanese Empire... Who is it? Who gave us such a stupid order? We die..."

Just as his words fell, a sudden whistling sound suddenly hit him.Then three mortar shells landed next to him.The Japanese army captain with a face of resignation, with a face full of despair, fell into a pool of blood with regret...

A communications staff officer at the Front Enemy Headquarters of the National Defense Forces in Tonghua County is smiling all over his face.Xing hurriedly rushed to Bai Chongxi and reported: "Sir, the [-]st Battalion of the [-]th Regiment is reporting. None of the Japanese infantry brigades that attacked the [-]st Battalion slipped through the net. All were wiped out on the way to attack..."

As soon as the report sounded, another communication staff officer rushed in with a happy face and reported: "Report sir, the report from the [-]nd Battalion of the [-]th Regiment: The attacking Japanese infantry brigade, except for less than a hundred people who successfully withdrew from the battlefield, the remaining All Japanese troops were wiped out."

………….

According to the statistics of a combat staff officer, in just 10 minutes, the total number of Japanese troops wiped out exceeded eight infantry brigades, a total of [-] elite Japanese troops.Just when the entire headquarters was immersed in the joy of victory.Master Luo Zhang walked in with an excited face and reported to Bai Chongxi.

"Deputy chief of staff, all the Japanese troops who attacked us have retreated. Damn it, this battle was too enjoyable. It took less than 10 minutes. The little devil who is known for his brutality was actually scared by us. It seems that the tens of thousands of Japanese troops surrounded by us have lost the morale they used to be invincible. All of them have become shrinking turtles..."

To achieve such a huge result outside the plan is far beyond the imagination of Deputy Chief of Staff Bai Chongxi.As soon as Luo Zhang's complaints fell, Bai Chongxi couldn't help laughing and scolding: "Mr. Luo, do you think the little devil commanders are all fools... If this attack continues like this, I can tell you for sure that we will The tens of thousands of Japanese troops surrounded, if we don’t attack, they will mutiny because of the commander’s stupidity...”

"Besides, we were able to achieve such a huge result unexpectedly. Are you still not satisfied... There are a total of seven thousand young devils, plus an infantry regiment of the Japanese army that the commando team wiped out along the way. The two groups that we successfully separated An infantry regiment. The Japanese army lost an astonishing 5000 troops in our hands at one time...."

"Although the total strength of the Japanese army seems to be huge, with a total of 4 troops, but among the 5000 troops, there are only less than 2 infantrymen with combat effectiveness... [-] elite infantry, minus this [-] People, minus the thousands of elites that we wiped out in batches over the past few days... Serious calculations, the Japanese army has less than [-] soldiers left to fight..."

It's not that I don't know, it's a shock.The distressed expression on Luo Zhang's face disappeared immediately, and he asked Deputy Chief of Staff Bai Chongxi in front of him with a hot face: "Deputy Chief of Staff, then let's go..."

Bai Chongxi replied without thinking: "Waiting for the latest battle report from Commander Zhang. As long as the division of the two infantry regiments of the Japanese army is completed, all the firepower of the entire army will be concentrated immediately, and they will be eaten in the shortest possible time. The more than 3 devils in the army are completely cornered..."

At the order of Bai Chongxi, a heavy artillery brigade, two field artillery regiments, and six mountain artillery battalions were assigned to Bai Chongxi. There were almost [-] artillery pieces of various calibers. Like a pack of wolves smelling blood, they aimed their muzzles at the black holes. Two infantry regiments of the divided Japanese army.

The temporary field airport located in the south of Tonghua County, in addition to the remaining 36 fighters of the Second Air Division, [-] bombers from a bomber regiment of Hainan Airlines are also neatly arranged on both sides of the runway, receiving the final inspection by the ground crew...

In less than 5 minutes, the roar of engines began to sound on the battlefield, and more than [-] fighters of various types, carrying ammunition, rushed out of the runway and rushed to the sky...

When the National Defense Forces were in full swing to accumulate strength for the next attack, they already knew that the thousands of Japanese troops separated by the squadron were falling into panic and fear.

In the brigade headquarters, two captains of the brigade stood anxiously behind the brigade leader, waiting for him to come up with a final decision.

And at this moment, a telegram that the three of them had not seen for a long time was finally sent in by a communications staff officer.Under the direction of the brigade head, the communication staff reported with a heavy face: "Brigade head, the general headquarters sent an urgent message: request our department to quickly break out in the direction of the main force..."

"Breakout..." Hearing these words, the faces of the three of them turned pale.Because in the just-concluded counterattack breakout battle, the two infantry regiments that had not been completely separated by Zhang Yusheng also participated.In the face of the powerful firepower of the Chinese squadron, the entire two infantry brigades were wiped out without even touching the Chinese blocking position...

You know, in the battle just now, what I attacked was only a battalion-level force that was not equipped with any heavy weapons.But right now, if they want to break through the defense line of the squadron and join the main force.It is necessary to launch an attack on the squadron equipped with heavy weapons such as tanks...

Without heavy weapons, I can't help the opponent's blocking position.What's more, the opponent now has heavy weapons such as tanks?

It is conceivable to break out in the direction of the main force without any heavy weapons to support yourself.It's not much different from dying.At that time, the thousands of soldiers under his command will surely be shot and killed by the squadron on the way of attack like living targets.

While shocked, the two captains quickly turned their attention to the head of the brigade, and asked tentatively, "Head of the brigade, what should we do next?"

After glaring at the regimental commander in front of him with a gloomy face, the brigade commander replied: "Needless to say, as a soldier, of course it is my duty to obey orders... Order the troops and make preparations to break out immediately... After 10 minutes, the whole army will With all the power, launch an attack on the blocking position of the Wehrmacht, and move closer to the main force..."

The pale-faced two regiment captains did not answer right away, but asked hesitantly: "Brigade commander, are you really going to launch an attack on the squadron? This squadron is not only equipped with a large number of light and heavy machine guns , and equipped with a large number of tanks, can our flesh and blood resist the steel storm fired by the squadron?"

Another wing captain followed closely behind.With lingering fear on his face, he said: "No...Brigade Commander, this is not an attack, this is a massacre, the massacre of us by the Chinese squadron... Please think twice, Your Excellency, Commander-in-Chief..."

A sigh full of helplessness.Slowly issued from the brigade leader's mouth.Facing the two subordinates who took a negative attitude in front of him, the brigade leader did not get angry, but said solemnly: "Do you think I don't know that attacking the squadron is tantamount to suicide... But, other than this method , do we have other ways to get rid of the ending of being wiped out..."

He saw the silent subordinate in front of him.The head of the brigade continued: "Of course, you may say that you will hold on to the spot. With the trench fortifications criss-crossing the battlefield, you can hold your position. However, what I want to tell you here is that our trench fortifications are in the squadron Under the attack of firepower, it is completely vulnerable..."

"Perhaps you still don't know why the No.17 Infantry Regiment, under the attack of the Squadron, failed to hold on for even 10 minutes, and then the whole army was wiped out.... The entire two infantry brigades, under the cover of the trenches, were only defeated By the time the squadron hit the fire within 10 minutes, more than [-]% of the troops had been lost...."

"A direct loss of [-]% of the troops, do you know what this means?"

"With the 4000 elites in our hands, we only need one shot from the squadron to lose [-] people. If the squadron's firepower preparation time is longer, the remaining troops may be less... Could it be that Do you want to see the elite of the four thousand empires, without even seeing the shadow of the squadron, and die under the bombardment of the opponent?"

After a short silence, a captain of the General Army finally spoke: "Your Excellency, the brigade commander, is right. Compared with being killed in vain by the artillery shells and bombs of the squadron in the left position, the warriors are more likely to accept death on the way to charge. died on the battlefield as an identity."

The head of the brigade nodded in agreement, and then ordered: "Since there is no objection, then go and convey the order... Tell the warriors that even if we die in battle, we will die on the way to charge."

The [-] Japanese troops had just assembled, and the overwhelming air support just flew over the battlefield.

Facing the air strikes that the Chinese Air Force overhead may launch at any time, in order to prevent the troops from being lost in the bombing in vain.The brigade head of the major general who was mixed with the troops, regardless of the formation and fighters, decisively ordered: "The Chinese are about to launch an attack on us, order all combat troops to take the squadron as the unit, regardless of priority, immediately Launch an attack on the Chinese blocking position, move closer to the main force...."

"Artillery unit, assemble all mortars, and after a 2-minute fire attack on the Chinese position, abandon all artillery and move closer to the infantry. Together with the soldiers, attack the Chinese position..."

"Boom boom boom...kill it..." Even though a fighter plane cruising over the battlefield was just ready to attack the enemy, the chaotic Japanese troops on the ground even launched an attack on the blocking position one step ahead.

The remaining dozens of mortars of the Japanese army lined up along the trenches one by one, pouring shells at the blocking position at their fastest rate of fire.

At the same time, the dense group of devils, with the squadron as the unit, was scattered on the battlefield more than two kilometers long, like waves of unstoppable yellow waves, recklessly attacking the seven regiment positions separated by the Japanese army. attack.

Although the firepower of the Seventh Regiment of the National Defense Forces and the Tank Regiment was unprecedentedly strong, after being spread out on average over a two-kilometer-long battlefield, only one machine gun could be averaged out at an interval of almost ten meters.Facing the utterly desperate pig-like attack of the Japanese army, the dense yellow waves almost rushed to the blocking position of the Seventh Regiment.

And at the most critical moment, dozens of bombers cruising over the battlefield showed their power...

A heavy bomb weighing [-] kilograms fell, and at least one Japanese infantry squadron didn't even have time to react, and all of them turned into corpses and fell on the offensive road...

One after another, the Air Force's bombers continued to pour ammunition into the Japanese attacking forces on the ground.Gathered more than 100 artillery groups, quickly changed the firing positions, and began to cover the area 200 meters to [-] meters in front of the Seventh Regiment's blocking position with unprecedented saturated artillery coverage.....

The sound of bomb explosions, shell explosions, and machine gun fire... All the sounds are mixed together, like an exciting battlefield symphony, constantly killing and wounding all Japanese troops who dared to attack the Seventh Regiment's position...

At this moment, in the face of an unprecedented air-ground joint firepower attack, what is displayed in front of the Japanese army is not only death, but also death... Seeing the bloody battle in front of them, with no possibility of survival at all, the Japanese army that has not yet entered the area covered by the artillery fire finally became frightened , began to fear and fear.

Looking at everything in front of him with a pale face, even if the officer kept urging him, his legs trembling because of the air force refused to take a step forward. (To be continued..)
