Rebirth of the Republic of China: The Rise of China

"Retreat..." After taking a deep look at the line of defense that cost the Marine Brigade at least [-] lives, the Chief of Staff He Weidong ordered decisively with a face full of unwillingness.

Afterwards, the officers and soldiers of the Marine Brigade, who were so overwhelmed by the Soviet offensive firepower that they could not lift their heads, retreated quickly under the cover of the general-purpose machine guns around them.Afterwards, a general-purpose machine gun that emitted bursts of heat due to continuous shooting was also held in the arms of the machine gunner with one hand, and a long metal chain was hung around his neck. Quickly shot showers at the approaching Soviet offensive troops.

Relying on the excellent performance of the general-purpose machine gun, coupled with the large number of landmines laid by the marine brigade in advance on the line of defense, the soldiers of the marine brigade who stood firm on the line of defense quickly got rid of the Soviet attacking troops, and under the cover of a large number of ruined walls in the city of Vladivostok, they headed towards the military port. retreat.

"Boom..." A series of violent explosions sounded from the line of defense that the marine brigade had just withdrawn, and clusters of orange fireballs, like volcanic eruptions, quickly flew away from the ground.

Under the baptism of the flying pieces and the huge air waves generated by the explosion of the mines, the Soviet attacking troops within a few meters of the mines as the center were either directly killed and turned into corpses, or their legs were blown off, and they fell down in pain. On the ground, there were heart-piercing screams as they rolled back and forth. [

Although the sudden and heavy casualties made the commanders of the Soviet army's front-line offensive troops feel heartbroken, compared with the heavy casualties caused by the troops breaking through the death zone, all this is not worth mentioning.Looking at the city of Vladivostok, which has completely opened the door to him, his eyes, which had no hope and vitality just now, flashed a flash of light and sharpness, and ordered decisively to the subordinates around him.

"Comrades, victory is just around the corner...I order you now. For the sake of the great Soviet "government", for the Soviet Far East Military District, rush into Vladivostok and destroy all squadrons remaining in the city of Vladivostok..."

"Ulla..." The Soviet Red Army, which had been aroused by the heavy casualties of its colleagues, seemed to be injected with a dose of stimulant.Suddenly sprang out of the defense line of the Marine Brigade.It's like floods that burst a levee, pouring into the city of Vladivostok one after another.

The chief of staff of the Soviet Far East Military District, who was watching the battle in the rear, saw the soldiers under his command pouring into the city of Vladivostok.The frown that had been tightly furrowed finally relaxed.Facing the equally excited subordinates around him, he decisively ordered: "Comrades, the offensive troops have successfully broken through the defense line deployed by the squadron outside the city. In order to prevent the squadron's subsequent air support from driving us away again Go to Vladivostok. Now I order: the follow-up offensive troops will speed up their entry into the city, and strangle together with the Chinese defenders in the city, so that even if their air force rushes to the battlefield, they will not be able to carry out bombing..."

"Yes, Comrade Chief of Staff..."

The remaining thousands of officers and soldiers of the Marine Brigade retreated in front, while tens of thousands of Soviet offensive troops poured into the city of Vladivostok from all directions.Under the watchful eyes of the Chief of Staff of the Far East Military Region and others.In less than half an hour, more than 2 Soviet offensive troops poured into the city of Vladivostok.

However, what puzzled the Chief of Staff of the Far Eastern Military Region was that during the half-hour pursuit, the urban area of ​​Vladivostok, which had been famous for several hours of gunfire, never heard even a burst of dense gunfire.Promise of Vladivostok City.Except for sporadic rifle shooting and machine gun shooting, it is difficult to hear even the most basic grenade explosion.

"What's going on here...Could it be that the squadron defending Vladivostok is planning to completely abandon Vladivostok and withdraw troops from Vladivostok..." The chief of staff, who was puzzled, asked back to his subordinates who were talking to themselves.

However, just as his words fell, a burst of dense gunfire came from the direction of the military port in the city very unexpectedly.Afterwards, a communications staff officer rushed towards him panting, and reported: "Report to Comrade Chief of Staff, the front-line offensive troops report: all the Chinese defenders holding Vladivostok have withdrawn into the military port. They are relying on the defense line around the military port to carry out a new battle." Standing firmly. Because a large number of naval anti-aircraft machine guns and anti-aircraft machine guns joined the battle, the counterattack firepower of the Chinese defenders was unprecedentedly strong. Our offensive troops have been blocked by the Chinese defenders, and we cannot move forward in a short time..."

"Abandon the city of Vladivostok. Defend the military port... Bastard, the Chinese are too cunning. In this way, our attacking troops entering the city of Vladivostok can't be mixed with Chinese squadrons, and can't avoid possible air strikes from the Chinese Air Force. Map, find me the map of Vladivostok city right away, hurry up..." The chief of staff's puzzled eyes quickly flashed a sharp edge, and he almost roared an order to a combat staff officer.

Soon, a map showing the city of Vladivostok was unfolded in front of the chief of staff.Under the direction of the chief of staff, it took only half a minute for the latest battle situation in Vladivostok city to be clearly marked on the map by the combat staff.

Just when the chief of staff was looking at the map under his feet with a serious face.A division commander with the rank of major general on his shoulders said in a deep voice: "Comrade Chief of Staff, judging from the latest battle situation, the purpose of the Chinese garrison is obvious: when the limited force is not enough to defend the entire city of Vladivostok, concentrate its forces to defend the military port. , waiting for reinforcements to arrive..."

Seeing that the chief of staff's brows only moved, and the overall expression on his face remained unchanged, the major general continued to speak anxiously: "This is not the most important thing. The number of our troops pouring into the city of Vladivostok has exceeded 2 people, such a large number of troops are all concentrated in the urban area of ​​Vladivostok. Once the Chinese Air Force launches a saturated air attack on the urban area of ​​Vladivostok, the [-] Red Army soldiers who entered the urban area will be subject to a devastating air strike. The enemy's situation is serious Change, please ask the chief of staff to immediately issue a retreat order to the frontline troops, asking the offensive troops to withdraw from the city of Vladivostok immediately..."

"Withdraw from Vladivostok, no, absolutely no retreat... The city of Vladivostok was occupied by our Far East Military District at the cost of tens of thousands of people. Once we withdraw from the city, the tens of thousands of Red Army soldiers we sacrificed outside the city of Vladivostok will be sacrificed in vain... Staff officer Comrade Chang, I firmly oppose the withdrawal of the city of Vladivostok, we cannot let the blood of tens of thousands of Red Army soldiers be shed in vain..." As soon as the words of the major general and division commander fell, a political commissar with the rank of major general on his shoulders stood up abruptly, righteously The mouth of the words retorted.

The military commander advocated the withdrawal of Vladivostok city, and the political commissar advocated the continuation of the offensive.When the two parties are engaged in a fierce dispute.The grim-faced chief of staff finally couldn't hold it anymore, and roared loudly: "Enough is enough, shut up... You are senior generals of the Soviet Red Army, not ordinary soldiers..."

After finishing speaking, before the subordinates with flushed faces reacted from the astonishment.He turned around and asked the combat staff who contacted the front-line offensive troops: "Is the front-line offensive troops capable of breaking through the defense line of the Chinese defenders and entering the military port within ten minutes regardless of the consumption of troops..."

The combat staff returned with a look of "color" Nai: "Comrade Chief of Staff, the front-line offensive troops reported that the Chinese defenders not only have a large number of light and heavy machine guns, but also have a large number of anti-aircraft machine guns equipped by naval ships. Anti-aircraft machine guns. Under such intensive blocking firepower , unless we have artillery that can destroy these automatic weapons. Otherwise, with our flesh and blood, even if we pay a high price, it is impossible to break through the defense line of the Chinese defenders in just 10 minutes."

face the result.The chief of staff has not yet opened his mouth, but the major general and division commander who just spoke has already rushed to speak: "Chief of staff, the offensive troops cannot occupy the military port in a short period of time, and our more than [-] Red Army soldiers scattered in the urban area will face being attacked at any time." The danger of a "destructive" strike by the Chinese Air Force..."

"In the few hours of fighting, the troops have suffered heavy losses. If there is another loss of 2 people for some reason, I can't guarantee that the remaining 10,000+ Red Army soldiers will mutiny because of the heavy losses of the troops and the lack of food... So, I I implore the chief of staff to issue a withdrawal order immediately. If it is not possible, leave a part of the attacking force to confront the Chinese defenders in the direction of the military port, and withdraw the other 1 Red Army soldiers from the city of Vladivostok, so as to avoid being overwhelmed by the Chinese Air Force...”[

Hearing the negative answer from the combat staff officer, the chief of staff has made up his mind to withdraw from the city of Vladivostok.It's just that it's hard to say what to say about the objections of the dozen or so political commissars around me.After all, in the Soviet army, political commissars held no less weight than his chief of staff.

And now.The compromise answer given by the major general and division commander in front of him is different from helping the chief of staff solve the biggest problem that troubled him.After casting a glance of admiration at the major general and division commander, he waved his hand directly and stopped a political commissar who wanted to speak.

Facing the surrounding subordinates, he ordered in a firm tone: "For the sake of the more than 2 Red Army soldiers who entered the city of Vladivostok, and for the future of the Soviet Far East Military District. The troops must immediately withdraw from the city of Vladivostok. As for comrades who have opinions, their opinions are temporarily reserved, but, Orders must be carried out..."

"Deputy chief of staff, immediately contact the front-line combat troops. Except for the three infantry regiments that continue to attack the military port, the rest of the troops will retreat immediately and withdraw from the city of Vladivostok as soon as possible."

More than 1 Red Army soldiers gathered around the Vladivostok military port. In addition, the city of Vladivostok has experienced a saturated bombing and fire. The huge pit of five meters is very difficult to attack and retreat.

Therefore, if more than 1 Red Army soldiers want to pass through this ruined wall and successfully retreat outside the city of Vladivostok, it is absolutely impossible to achieve it within half an hour.

Just when more than 1 old men flocked and began to retreat outside the city.After more than half an hour of flying in the air, the deafening engine roar of more than a hundred fighter planes under the First Air Division finally faintly spread to the battlefield and to the ears of both the enemy and us.

Seeing that a black spot had appeared on the edge of the sky in the direction of the source of the sound, the officers and soldiers of the Marine Brigade who were sticking to the Vladivostok military port showed excited expressions on their faces.As if victory was far away from him, he used more intensive firepower to block the Soviet attacking troops.

In the city of Vladivostok, there are more than 1 old men who are retreating frantically.Seeing the dense cluster of aircraft appearing in the sky, like a frightened rabbit, his face suddenly turned pale, and then, with bursts of screams, he ran out of the city in a panic.

Of course, no matter how fast the Soviet Red Army escaped, it could not be faster than the flying speed of fighter planes.

When more than 1 bombers from the two bomber regiments really came over the city of Vladivostok. Of the more than 2000 Soviet Red Army troops, less than [-] successfully evacuated the city of Vladivostok.

Facing the densely packed ground, like a colony of ants, the Soviet Red Army desperately retreated outside the city.Of course, the pilots of the [-]st Air Division who rushed to the battlefield would not let go of such a good opportunity for meritorious deeds. Pieces of black napalm, like rain, began to fall towards the city of Vladivostok from the outside to the inside.

The dull napalm explosion sounded first on the edge of the city.Countless flames quickly spread to the surroundings along with the splashing napalm. The road where more than 1 Soviet Red Army withdrew from the city of Vladivostok was directly cut off by the sudden fire in front of them.

The swarming Soviet Red Army wanted to turn around and retreat to the interior of the city with a face full of horror, so as to avoid contaminating themselves with napalm splashing around.The follow-up troops of the Soviet army are undergoing a frantic retreat.Hit directly with them fiercely.

Facing the Soviet Red Army that was piled up behind them and wanted to withdraw from the city of Vladivostok, the first group of old men who rushed to the edge of the fire could only be driven into the ground by the soldiers behind them with a look of despair and unwillingness. Sea of ​​fire...

Seeing the retreating troops on the ground was like moths to a flame, constantly pouring into a fire belt that he had blown up on the edge of Vladivostok city.The face of a bomber pilot after a round of aerial bombing.Without showing the slightest expression of intolerance, he continued to launch a new round of dive bombing to the ground with a sneer and a bloodthirsty expression.Throw the raindrops of napalm directly on top of the densely packed old Maozi's heads on the ground.

As the fire on the ground continued to spread to the surroundings, the Soviet Red Army in the fire scene was also quickly ignited.look around.It's like one by one burning people, while making heart-piercing screams, while rolling back and forth on the ground...

What's more, some old men who were affected by napalm, knowing that they could not escape this catastrophe, directly blew the grenades on their bodies, and together with their comrades around them, they passed away one step earlier...

The bombing in front of us was aimed specifically at the more than 1 Soviet Red Army in the city of Vladivostok.It lasted for 10 minutes before slowly ending.When the mighty aircraft group slowly left the sky above the battlefield, the entire city of Vladivostok was like a huge torch, burning with raging fire.As for the sky above the city of Vladivostok, the airspace up to hundreds of meters was completely shrouded in black smoke from the burning of napalm.

The city of Vladivostok was once again covered in flames. Looking at the blazing fire in front of him, he could clearly feel the waves of scorching air. The chief of staff of the Far Eastern Military District, who was constantly rushing towards his face from the city of Vladivostok hundreds of meters away, seemed to be suddenly frightened.As if dumbfounded, he stared blankly at the fire in front of him, motionless.

As for the dozen or so political commissars who were clamoring to prevent the troops from withdrawing from the city of Vladivostok just now, at this moment, all their faces were pale and their mouths closed.Some political commissars with poor psychological qualities.The legs supporting his body were already baked by the raging fire, and unconsciously began to tremble slightly.

Ever since seeing First Division Kong arrive, the Major General, who felt something was wrong, also stared blankly at the scene in front of him.When more than a hundred fighter planes under the First Air Division left the battlefield slowly with the power of victory, they said to the chief of staff in front of him with a look of despair on his face: "It's over... the [-] heroic Red Army soldiers are over... this is the end. A total of [-] Red Army elites were completely burned by a fire... Chief of Staff, this, this is not a battle, this is a massacre, a massacre against our Red Army warriors...”[

And at this moment, the chief of staff, who was stunned, finally reacted from the astonishment, and said with a decadent expression: "The [-] Red Army warriors are gone... Could it be that Vladivostok in front of us is really ruining our Far Eastern Military Region?" meat grinder…”

"Forget it, the battle has come to an end here... After all, we have lost a total of [-] troops in the continuous attack for several hours. [-] living lives, just under my order and persistence, all Buried in and around this small city of Vladivostok..."

Speaking, facing the subordinates around him, he ordered with despair on his face: "Deputy Chief of Staff, order all offensive troops to retreat immediately and give up the military action of attacking Vladivostok. At the same time, report the entire battle process and the results of the battle to the general through the radio quickly. Commander. As for the responsibility for the defeat in this battle, let me, the chief of staff, bear it... Immediately carry out the order..."

"Bang..." With a muffled gunshot outside Vladivostok, the Chief of Staff of the Far Eastern Army, who personally buried tens of thousands of Soviet Red Army, died without any accidents under his own gun.

In a coniferous forest about five kilometers away from the city of Vladivostok, several tents that had been completely covered by snow stood tenaciously on the edge of the dense forest.

Located in the largest tent in the center, Voroshilov, the commander-in-chief of the Far Eastern Military Region, wearing an Opinion Army coat, was walking around the tent with an anxious expression on his face.In the tense tent, although there were several people standing, there was no other noise except for the footsteps of Commander-in-Chief Voroshilov.

Just when the faces of several combat staff officers standing in the tent began to show a look of anxiety and tension, a burst of hurried footsteps suddenly came into the tent.Afterwards, the thick curtain of the tent was lifted, and a communications staff officer whose cheeks were flushed from the cold quickly walked in and reported to Commander-in-Chief Voroshilov.

"Report to the commander-in-chief, the latest battle report from the front line..."

"Finally there is news, give me the telegram right away..." Voroshilov, with an anxious expression on his face, grabbed the telegram from the communication staff officer and began to browse.

When all the staff members of the command headquarters were nervously watching Commander-in-Chief Voroshilov's every move, a hint of bad feeling quickly came to the minds of several combat staff officers.

Because, when Voroshilov began to read the telegram in his hand, the expression on the commander-in-chief's face, like the sudden change of the weather, quickly changed from the initial anxiety to the subsequent shock, and then the shock to the present. Panic...Of course, this expression of panic lasted less than five seconds on the commander-in-chief's face before being covered by a deep expression of despair.

When Voroshilov's eyes left the telegram in his hand, he seemed to have aged several years in an instant.Li lowered his right hand holding the telegram, and muttered to himself: "How could this be... such a perfect plan, how could it fail..." (To be continued.)
