Rebirth of the Republic of China: The Rise of China

Vladivostok, which was occupied by the Soviet Union for decades, is not less prosperous than other cities in the Far East because of its special political status as the headquarters of the Far Eastern Military Region.Before the attack by the Wehrmacht, the large city of Vladivostok was full of European-style concrete buildings.

Therefore, in the face of naval guns and air strikes by the National Defense Forces, although the entire Vladivostok was burned into a sea of ​​flames.However, a large number of ruined walls made of concrete still stand in the city.

But at this moment, in front of the Marine Brigade's position, which was continuously attacked by thousands of naval artillery shells, the ruins that could be seen everywhere more than ten minutes ago have disappeared at this moment.Looking around, the entire battlefield seemed to have been plowed again, turning it into a flat land without any obstacles.

In this flat land, there are more than 1000 craters of different sizes scattered here and there. At a glance, it looks like craters all over the surface of the moon.Thousands of Soviet soldiers in various poses were also scattered around these craters, with their feet facing inward and their heads facing outward... The soldiers of the Marine Brigade couldn't help but feel horrified.

A gust of sea breeze blew past the front of the position, and a burst of gunpowder smoke mixed with a strong smell of blood came directly to the face, permeating the position held by the Marine Brigade.As the pungent smell spread, various coughing and vomiting sounds resounded in the battlefield.

Compared with the pale faces of the recruits in the army, the battle-tested brigade commander Zhou Feng was obviously much better.At this moment, instead of seeing any panic on Zhou Feng's face, he saw a hint of desire and enthusiasm for the battlefield in front of him.

Holding up the binoculars, I carefully searched the battlefield full of craters and corpses of Soviet soldiers in front of me.The brigade commander Zhou Feng said to the chief of staff next to him: "Chief of staff, there are still a lot of remnants of the old Maozi missing in the front of the position... Immediately gather all the snipers and sharpshooters in our marine brigade. Snipe and kill all the exposed ones. Old man."

"Yes, Brigadier..."

With bursts of scattered gunfire sounded on the battlefield.The three infantry regiments in the first round of the Soviet attack were under attack by hundreds of snipers and sharpshooters.Step by step towards extinction.

Zhou Feng of the Marine Brigade clearly saw the situation on the battlefield, and the Chief of Staff of the Soviet Army's Far East Military District, about one kilometer away from the battlefield, also witnessed the process of this massacre.

The three infantry regiments, for the Far Eastern Military Region with 20 troops, can definitely be called a drop in the bucket, not worth mentioning at all.However, no matter how trivial it is, he is still a living soldier of the [-] Red Army.Such a huge force, if placed a few years ago.Enough to occupy a large area in the three northeastern provinces of China.

But now, under the counterattack of the Chinese National Defense Forces, the 10 elite Red Army did not hold on for half an hour, no, 10 minutes...[-] minutes, and the entire army was wiped out.

Such a result is not only a huge blow to the confidence of the chief of staff, but also an unprecedented blow to the newly recovered morale of the 20 Red Army soldiers under his command.

but.Shocked and shocked, the chief of staff did not forget his mission, nor did he forget the dilemma and embarrassing situation that the Far East Military Region is currently facing.If the Far Eastern Military Region cannot take Vladivostok within a day, it will get supplies from the sea.The 20 Red Army soldiers under his command, including the General Command of the Far East Military Region, will be buried here.

Compared with the future of the entire Far Eastern Military Region.The sacrifice of thousands of people is obviously nothing.

Think here.The chief of staff once again transferred a division, a total of more than [-] Soviet Red Army.Under the cover of all the remaining mortars in the Far Eastern Military Region, they wanted to kill Vladivostok.At the same time, in order to make the soldiers determined to die, all the political commissars in the army who were madmen above the company level were gathered together to form a thousand-strong supervising team.While urging the troops to attack, eliminate all Red Army soldiers who dare to retreat.

"Ula... Ula..." The earth-shattering Lao Maozi shouted on the battlefield, and the Lao Maozi moved hundreds of mortars about 800 meters away from the battlefield. The defensive positions just exposed by the brigade poured shells.In the first round, hundreds of mortar shells of different sizes exploded, and the first-line defensive position held by the marine brigade was covered by the thick smoke produced by the shell explosion in a blink of an eye.

However, because of the ruins and ruins that can be seen everywhere in the city of Vladivostok, mortar shells that are not very powerful, after the ruins of the ruins blocked most of the shrapnel produced by the explosion of the shells, they did not achieve much killing results.

Even so, Zhou Feng, the commander of the Marine Brigade, was also angry.The soldiers under his command are limited, and he doesn't know how long this war will last.No matter how small the results achieved by the old Maozi artillery, it will cause very heavy casualties to the marine brigade after a long time.

Thinking of this, the livid-faced brigade commander Zhou Feng did not hesitate at all, and ordered decisively: "Chief of Staff, immediately contact the First Squadron, deploy ten large-caliber naval guns, and completely destroy the old Maozi's artillery position..."

"Boom boom boom..." A series of really deafening explosions sounded on the battlefield, because the Soviet artillery positions were far away from the marine brigade, and accidental injury was impossible.The First Squadron, which received the order for help, directly used ten main guns of the warship to send a big gift to the Soviet artillery positions.

Ten large-caliber naval gun shells with a diameter of more than 50 mm exploded, and ten thick smoke columns with a height of more than 20 meters quickly rose from the Soviet artillery positions.Not only that, ten huge craters with a depth of more than ten meters and a radius of astonishingly [-] meters, like bloody mouths, appeared very hideously in the Soviet artillery positions.

Ten large-caliber naval guns, with just one round of firing, sent the Soviet mortar positions gathered by the old Maozi gunners into the sky, and it was difficult to find even a single intact mortar.

"Okay, good fight... The power of the large-caliber naval guns is really not covered. It blows up a large area. Today, under the cover of the naval guns, our marine brigade will turn Vladivostok into a twister that ruins the Soviet Far East Military Region." Meat machine. Let’s see if it’s Lao Maozi’s flesh and blood that’s the best, or our steel cannonballs…” Brigadier Zhou Feng said with a smile on his face while holding a binoculars.

subsequently.Facing the chief of staff who was also stunned beside him, he continued to order: "Chief of staff. What are you still doing in a daze, contact the naval gun immediately. Use small-caliber naval guns to shoot out a death zone in the area 200 to 300 meters in front of our position. At the same time, the brothers of the Marine Brigade, the Lao Maozi's offensive troops are now our best actual combat targets. All Lao Maozi soldiers who rush out of this death zone, without exception, will be killed by me. Use the old Maozi's corpses to pile up a corpse wall, a corpse wall that the old Maozi's attacking troops will never be able to cross."

"Yes, Brigadier..."

Facing Zhou Feng with a frenzied expression in front of him.The chief of staff also responded with a fiery face.

"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo..." The unique screams produced by the shells across the sky did not keep Zhou Feng waiting for too long, and began to resound over the battlefield.At the same time, a death zone completely covered by gunpowder smoke, gunfire, smoke, bricks and stones constantly splashed from the ground, and soldiers' limbs and arms..., as the sound of shell explosions continued, it immediately began to spread across the battlefield. Appear.

The Soviet army that had just rushed into this area was in a dense offensive formation.Before they had time to react, old-haired soldiers weighing more than 150 jin, like toys, were easily thrown into the sky by the huge air waves generated by the explosion of naval artillery shells.then.Those who were lucky, were torn into pieces by the air waves and shrapnel directly in the air, turning into a bloody storm full of blood.With better luck.Then it hit the ground heavily, turning into a dead body that couldn't die anymore.

The sound of shell explosions continued.More and more old Maozi soldiers were thrown into the sky and turned into corpses.Soon, thousands of Soviet Red Army troops entered this death zone.It was torn into pieces by the dense rain of naval artillery shells, and it was completely blown up.

Facing the tragic scene of massacre in front of them, it was the charging pace of the Soviet army's follow-up attacking troops, which stopped invisibly.The faces of the Red Army officers and soldiers also turned pale because of the tragic shelling scene in front of them.

And just when these Red Army soldiers were hesitating, a piercing sound of machine gun fire suddenly sounded from behind the Lao Maozi's attacking troops.The more than a hundred light and heavy machine guns in the hands of Lao Maozidu's team quickly sprayed tongues of hot flames at the backs of these Red Army soldiers. Looking down from the air, these tongues of flames are like death scythes specially designed to harvest life. At the end of the queue, a hesitant Red Army soldier was swept to the ground.

Facing the sudden fire attack behind him, roars and roars quickly sounded in the Soviet offensive formation: "Great Red Army warriors, if you go forward, you will die, and if you retreat, you will die... Since you can't escape death, for the honor of the Red Army, In order for our family members in the rear not to be treated unfairly because of our retreat, continue to attack forward, Ulla...."

"Ulla...Ulla...."

Heart-piercing roars before parting came from the follow-up attacking troops of the Soviet army. The red army soldiers who were still pale and hesitant just now, like a crazy gambler and a leopard, clasped their rifles tightly, wailing Shouting and rushing into this death zone that stands in front of everyone.

Although the powerful naval artillery shells blasted a large area, the death zone used to block the Soviet attack route was too long.Each round of more than a hundred naval gun shells sounds like a lot, but after being scattered in this dead zone, it is impossible to cover everything.

In addition, the tens of thousands of Soviet Red Army at this moment have completely fallen into madness, and they are not afraid of death at all.As more and more Red Army soldiers rushed into this death zone, finally some scattered Red Army soldiers, covered in gunpowder smoke, rushed out of this death zone full of murderous intentions with disbelief, and appeared in front of the soldiers of the Marine Brigade.

The pungent smell of gunpowder smoke suddenly disappeared, and the sound of violent explosions quickly shifted from the side to the back.Facing the sudden changes in front of them, these old-haired soldiers subconsciously took a breath of fresh air, and unconsciously flashed a smile of joy after the disaster on their faces full of despair.

However, just before the smiles could be maintained for five seconds, a crisp gunshot suddenly reached the old man's ears.

Immediately afterwards, the old man who hadn't reacted from the surprise felt a tingling pain suddenly spread from his chest all over his body.Not only that, gusts of heat also gushed out from his body quickly, soaking the thick cotton military uniform he was wearing.

The old Maozi soldier, who was still surprised just now, once again showed the desperate expression before parting.He stared blankly at the military uniform that had been dyed red on his chest, while feeling the energy draining from his body.On the one hand, he fell softly on the ground, waiting for death to slowly come to him.

Gunshots are orders.With the sound of this crisp gunshot, there were various gunshots.Like a symphony, under the cover of artillery, it sounded in the defensive position of the marine brigade.

Of the tens of thousands of Soviet attacking troops, less than 4000 actually rushed out of this death zone.More importantly, the [-] Soviet troops did not rush out all at once, but rushed to the Marine Brigade bit by bit like squeezing toothpaste.

Facing the combat achievements delivered to them, the soldiers of the Marine Brigade headed by Zhou Feng would certainly not let them go.As the battle continued, under cover of artillery fire.The officers and soldiers of the Marine Brigade, who have gradually become accustomed to the tense atmosphere on the battlefield, can be said to be more courageous as they fight.The dense rain of bullets seems to have eyes. As long as the old man emerges from the smoke, several bullets will fly towards him with a slight whistling sound...

As expected by Zhou Feng, the brigade commander of the marine brigade, under the baptism of raindrops of bullets, the four thousand old men who rushed out of the death zone composed of naval artillery shells were all killed at a distance of about 200 meters from the defensive position. front-line positions.

Four thousand corpses of Lao Maozi were piled up in this area.Following this round of the Soviet army's offensive troops, all fell on the charge road.A corpse wall with a height of half a meter suddenly appeared in front of the Marine Brigade.

A main division of the Soviet army, nine infantry regiments with more than [-] soldiers, was wiped out in less than an hour of attack.Looking at the bloody smell in front of my eyes.The battlefield where the dead soldiers of one's own soldiers have been scattered all over the battlefield.The eyes of the Chief of Staff of the Far East Military Region have changed from full of confidence to red now.

And at this moment, the commander who witnessed the loss of more than 1 soldiers under his command on the battlefield without any meaning.He almost roared and said: "Chief of Staff, this is not an attack. This is a massacre, the massacre of our heroic Red Army soldiers. This can no longer be fought. As long as the squadron has enough ammunition, we will have an army of 20, It will be wiped out cleanly by the Chinese defenders on the battlefield in front of us. At that time, Vladivostok, the Vladivostok in front of us will be the meat grinder that ruined our Soviet Far East Military Region. All of us standing here will die under the enemy's guns . . . "

Facing the roar of the major general and division commander, the anger and shock in the chief of staff finally began to calm down.After taking a deep look at the major general and division commander in front of him who seemed to have said enough, he asked sharply: "In this case, my question is, what should we do next, and where is the final way out for the remaining [-] troops in the Far East Military Region? …”

"This..." When the troops are completely out of food, what else can they do besides continue to attack Vladivostok and get supplies by sea?Facing the chief of staff's eyes that could almost see through people's hearts, the major general who was full of anger just now had no choice but to close his eyes and replied in a low tone.

"Please forgive me, Chief of Staff, I was too reckless just now... For the sake of the Far East Military Region, for the remaining 10,000+ soldiers, no matter how high the price is, it is worth it... But, watching the soldiers die in such a senseless way Under the enemy's shells, I feel unwilling, and you must know that most of these soldiers are veterans who have experienced the civil war..."

Hearing this, the chief of staff just nodded in tacit agreement and did not give any answer.

But at this moment, a radiance suddenly flashed across the chief of staff's face.Facing the major general who just got angry, he asked thoughtfully: "What Major General Jakes said just now may be correct. As long as the squadron has enough ammunition, Vladivostok in front of us will become a dedicated devourer." The meat grinder of our Red Army soldiers..."

Having said that, the chief of staff, under the gaze of everyone's puzzled eyes, changed the subject and continued: "However, apart from considering whether the squadron's ammunition is sufficient, we seem to have forgotten another issue, that is, the squadron's The service life of various weapons of the army, especially the service life of warship guns...."

"In the continuous attack for more than an hour, the naval guns on the medium-sized ship have been firing continuously for an hour... As long as an excellent naval officer will know: the firing life of the naval gun barrel is very limited, continuous shooting for several hours After that, the gun barrel must be replaced. Otherwise, the entire naval gun will be damaged because of this...."

"As long as we continue to attack Vladivostok, its naval guns will have to fire continuously. As long as there is enough time, the service life of the medium-sized naval guns will be reached, forcing them to replace their barrels. At that time, the defenders of Vladivostok will have to We don’t face the situation of losing naval gunfire support. And our heroic Red Army soldiers can make good use of this time to quickly rush to the defensive positions, occupy Vladivostok, and occupy the Vladivostok military port step by step..."

After the chief of staff finished speaking, a tempting scene of war quickly emerged in the minds of the teachers around him.

After a short period of contemplation, the major general, who was still furious just now, first spoke in support: "Comrade Chief of Staff, I completely agree with this idea... Judging from the fighting situation just now, as long as we pay the price of two main divisions The naval guns in the hands of the squadron had to stop firing."

"Judging from our first attack on Vladivostok, as long as the Chinese defenders lose their naval guns, the Chinese defenders standing in Vladivostok will not be our opponents at all. At that time, the final victory must belong to our heroic Soviet Red Army soldiers... ..": (To be continued..)
