Rebirth of the Republic of China: The Rise of China

"Woo...boom..." A sharp whistling sound rang out over the battlefield, and a group of orange fireballs quickly rose from the ground about 50 meters away from the position, followed by a violent explosion. began to ring out on the battlefield.

Lao Maozi is worthy of being an army that advocates "cannon doctrine". He didn't even carry out the most basic tentative attack, so he concentrated the wild artillery of a battalion and continuously bombarded the position of the garrison battalion.

Less than 20 seconds after the explosion of the test shells stopped, a series of more rapid whistling shells reached everyone's ears.Immediately afterwards, dense explosions began to sound on the battlefield, and more than a dozen jets of black smoke rose into the sky, enveloped by clusters of orange-red fireballs, and quickly rose from the position.

In a blink of an eye, the blocking position stretching hundreds of meters was shrouded in thick smoke.

The commander of the garrison battalion, who was caught off guard by Soviet artillery fire, got up from the trench in a panic, looked at the smoky positions around him, and cursed aggrievedly: "You son of a bitch, as soon as you come up! Bombarded by a battalion of cannons, we really value our garrison battalion...."

After finishing speaking, he asked the deputy battalion commander beside him: "Lao Wang, what about our mountain artillery company, are you sure to fire two shots at the old Maozi's artillery position to rub their spirits. If the old Maozi artillery can continue to bomb like this Go on, it won't take long before our position will be razed to the ground..."

The deputy battalion commander replied with a helpless face: "Battlemaster, all the old Maozi use are field artillery, and there are a total of eighteen. Our mountain artillery company only has six that can be counted, no matter in terms of the number of artillery, or Compared with the power and range of artillery. We are not old-fashioned opponents. Therefore, all we can do is to be bombed..."

"Damn..." Hearing this helpless answer.The battalion commander could only vent his anger on his clenched fists, and slammed them into the trenches beside him.then.Facing the deputy battalion commander next to him, he continued: "In this case, let the old Maozi's artillery be more arrogant. Although the shells fired by the old Maozi can flatten our position, no matter how powerful the field artillery shells are, they will not blow us up. Several blockhouses and underground bomb defense holes built of reinforced concrete..."

After Xiong Shaowen led his troops to garrison the Lake Baikal area, he has not been idle.In order to build the Lake Baikal area into a steel line of defense that the enemy cannot break through, keep the gates far and wide.

In response to a possible counterattack by the Soviet Red Army, after ensuring that the 20 immigrants were completely stabilized, they used all their strength to pass the car.More than [-] tons of cement were transferred from the three northeastern provinces.And these more than one hundred tons of cement, without exception, were all used in this mountain pass.

On the surface, this mountain pass is no different from usual.However, if you observe carefully, you will find that on the mountains on both sides of the mountain pass, there are more than a dozen blockhouses of various sizes that are completely made of reinforced concrete.Unless Lao Maozi's offensive troops use large-caliber heavy artillery, these bunkers will never be destroyed.

not only.On the seemingly simple mountain pass defense line, every 30 meters, there is an underground bunker with a depth of five meters scattered, which is specially used for hiding soldiers and anti-cannon...

Although Lao Maozi's sudden shelling caused the garrison battalion to pay a lot of losses.However, these losses are temporary.Taking advantage of the gap between the Soviet artillery bombardment, the hundreds of officers and soldiers scattered on the ground were like frightened rabbits.Quickly flock to the nearest blast hole.After that, it was like listening to a play.Sitting in the blast hole, listening to the sound of cannons ringing overhead.

1 minute. 2 minutes... The Soviet forward regiment poured thousands of shells on the mountain pass, and the deafening shell explosion began to slowly stop.Immediately, hundreds of officers and soldiers concealed in the anti-blasting holes rushed to their own fighting positions one by one, holding weapons amidst the roars of the officers at all levels...

Although the positions that stretched for hundreds of meters were bombed everywhere, there were gaps everywhere, but no matter what, there were still places to hide one person everywhere.Hundreds of officers and soldiers quickly found a place to hide, loaded the bullets, raised their rifles, and aimed at the front of the position...

The battalion commander of the temporary headquarters of the garrison battalion hurried out of the artillery hole of the battalion headquarters, quickly raised his binoculars, and looked towards the front of the position.

After the shelling ended, the arrogant old man was still as strange as he had ever encountered before.The strength of an infantry battalion, lined up in three skirmish lines, under the cover of a certain number of heavy machine guns, was like an unstoppable yellow wave, rushing towards the garrison camp at the mountain pass.

Of course, the reason why the Soviet Far East Red Army has not made much progress after a pale Soviet Far East is that there is a big reason for Li Guosheng.When more than 1 commanders of the Soviet Far East Red Army were returned to Voroshilov according to the content of the contract, Li Guosheng, who had a certain understanding of the Soviet Union's current anti-revolutionary situation, directly tampered with it.

Among the tens of thousands of Soviet commanders, all veterans with certain combat experience were retained by Li Guosheng in various ways without exception.As for those young and strong officers who had no experience, were full of admiration for Stalin, and had little combat experience, they were all returned to the Soviet government.Especially those political commissars who had just graduated from military academy and had been brainwashed by Stalin.

In more than half a year, although Voroshilov expanded the strength of the Far East Red Army to 10 people again.However, the [-] Red Army were all fanatical radicals, commanders and political commissars with little combat experience trained according to the scriptures.As for the commanders at all levels of these troops, most of them were transformed from political commissars at all levels of the former Far East Red Army.

Military commanders transformed from political commissars, the only way they can use to train troops is to copy textbooks.As for the more advanced command ability, there is also only one way to copy the textbook.

Therefore, the hundreds of Soviet offensive troops in front of us seem to be menacing, but the battalion commander of the garrison battalion with rich combat experience has seen some clues... In the eyes of the battalion commander, automatic firepower equipment such as self-weight machine guns began to prevail After the battlefield, the straggler line charge in front of him is no different from sending to death.

A disdainful smile quickly flashed across the face of the battalion commander who was still full of worries about the upcoming global conflict and thought that he might not be able to stop the offensive of [-] Soviet troops.

Facing the deputy battalion commander who also found some clues beside him, he said mockingly: "These old men are really getting worse and worse. Even the combat level of half a year ago is not as good as.... Inform the troops, since these old men want to come Let them die. Then we will fulfill them....Order one or two companies to concentrate all firepower. Hurt them at once...The three companies scattered in the bunker Ou Nei, wait and see what happens, without my order, it is forbidden to fire and expose the target in advance …”

In order to better carry out the command of the battalion commander, the two infantry companies scattered in the two blocking positions did not shoot back immediately.Instead, after the Soviet offensive troops entered 100 meters, they gathered [-] general-purpose machine guns and [-] semi-automatic rifles from two infantry companies, and fired an impenetrable steel storm at hundreds of old men.

"Da da da..." The unique hiss of the general-purpose machine gun sounded on the battlefield, and hundreds of veterans formed the skirmish line branch.It was like the wheat that was about to be harvested, and the long flames spit out by the machine gun were swept away in pieces.

Faced with the sudden intensive counterattack firepower from the garrison battalion, as long as the commander of the Soviet offensive force has a little combat experience, he knows that with such a density of firepower in front of him, even if all the hundreds of people in his hands are exhausted, it is impossible to rush to the opponent's position. .

However, the commander of the Soviet army who commanded hundreds of veterans was not only a political commissar without much combat experience, but also a radical officer deeply brainwashed by Stalin.in his thoughts.As long as victory can be achieved and the Soviet red flag is replanted in the Baikal region, it will not be too late even if the lives of many Red Army soldiers are sacrificed.

Therefore, seeing pieces of his own subordinates being swept to the ground by the rain of bullets.Not only did he not give an order to retreat, but he held up a pistol like a gambler.Facing the subordinates who were already showing fear, he roared loudly: "Red Army warriors. Victory is at hand, rush to the Chinese position. Kill all the Chinese, Ula..."

Hundreds of old men followed one after another, like a red-eyed madman, rushing towards the rain of bullets to die regardless of consumption.In the blink of an eye, on the battlefield a hundred meters away from the position, hundreds of old Maozi's corpses fell in disorder.But at this moment, the swarming Lao Maozi's attacking troops were still charging forward with a numb face under the almost crazy instigation of the Soviet battalion commander.

Seeing the scene in front of him, the deputy battalion commander who had just graduated from the military academy seemed to see an incredible scene.Facing the battalion commander beside him, he asked in a daze: "Battlefield commander, is this old man going to die.... Knowing that charging is death, they charge us regardless, do they think their flesh and blood can stop us? The bullets fired...."

Since the Soviet attacking troops entered the battlefield, the battalion commander, who was confident in repelling the first round of Soviet attacks, replied with a smile on his face: "If I don't expect it, the commander of this Soviet army must have just arrived from the Soviet Union." An idiot who just came out of the military academy, or a political commissar with no experience in combat command..."

"Only these people don't know how to adjust their deployment according to the battlefield situation. They only know how to be reckless and charge... However, since the old Maozi wants to die, then we will fulfill him and give the old Maozi's attacking troops a big gift..."

The sound of machine gun fire, the explosion of mortar shells, and the shouts of the Soviet attacking troops still echoed on the battlefield like a symphony.Because of the terrain, the Soviet attacking force was a feint attack. The Soviet commander at the rear of the battlefield did not see the heavy losses of his subordinates, so he did not order the artillery to cover.Besides, for this new recruit unit that has just been established for half a year, the infantry and artillery coordinated attack is no different from the blue sky.

However, as time went by, the roar of the battlefield belonging to the Soviet offensive force became smaller and smaller. The colonel of the Soviet army who had been paying attention to the battlefield finally found something amiss.

And at this moment, a different crisp gunshot rang out under the cover of the hissing of the machine gun.Then, a hot bullet flew out of the long barrel unique to the sniper rifle, passed through the 100-meter distance between the enemy and us, and ruthlessly pierced into the eyebrow of the Soviet Major and Battalion Commander...

Just now, he was still the battalion commander who had an arrogant face and kept inciting his subordinates to attack.A pair of bright eyes quickly flashed a trace of shock, and then, with a face full of unwillingness, he fell to the ground with regret.

The battalion commander was killed, facing the troops that had lost more than half, especially seeing the impenetrable rain of bullets in front of him.These recruits, who had long been terrified of attacking, no longer hesitated, and fled to the rear with their weapons in hand.

Looking at the more than 100 remnant soldiers who quickly retreated from the battlefield, I saw the dense corpses that fell down on the offensive road.The head of the colonel of the Soviet army finally knew what was wrong. Before the more than 100 remnants had time to withdraw from the battlefield, there was a roar full of anger.roared out of his mouth.

"Bastard, cunning squadron. There are so many machine gun fires hidden... Artillery, order the artillery battalion to fire immediately. Let me flatten the Chinese blocking positions and blow them up..."

"Woooooo...boom boom..." When the sharp whistle of shells and the violent explosion of shells sounded on the battlefield again.The head of the colonel of the Soviet Army finally learned the whole battle process from among the retreating remnants.

While the hatred for the garrison battalion deepened, at the same time, he also felt a trace of anger from the bottom of his heart at the stupidity of the commander of the first battalion.However, since the opponent had already died in battle, the colonel leader had no reason to say anything, whether he was worried about the morale of the troops or the political commissars standing beside him.

However, the sky passed the description of the soldiers just defeated.The head of the colonel, who has some combat experience, also felt that the blocking position in front of him was not as simple as he imagined.

Just as he looked at the mountain pass hundreds of meters away that was completely covered by artillery fire again with a gloomy face.The political commissar standing next to him said: "Comrade commander, if the bombardment continues like this, it won't have much effect. After all, it is impossible to occupy the opponent's position by relying on bombardment. So, I think our Red Army soldiers can attack now." .Under the cover of small-caliber artillery, attack the mountain pass, and rely on our courage to take the mountain pass. Destroy all squadrons stationed at the mountain pass, and avenge the Red Army warriors who died in the first battalion....."

Colonel Lao Maozi nodded noncommittally, if the shelling could really destroy the opponent's position.After the first round of shelling, the defenders will not have such powerful counterattack firepower.

Under the watchful eyes of political commissars.Decisively ordered: "Order the artillery battalion to transfer the artillery fire immediately. Conduct a covering artillery attack within 50 meters behind the defender's position... Order the Red Army warriors of the second battalion to be under the cover of all mortars and heavy machine guns in the whole regiment , launched an attack on the defending positions..."

The order was issued, and hundreds of old men once again lined up in an unchanged skirmish formation to press towards the mountain pass.At the same time, more than 20 mortars under the Soviet Vanguard Regiment, following the attacking troops, quickly moved to a position about 500 meters away from the mountain pass, and began to set up mortars...

When hundreds of Soviet attacking troops slowly entered the range of the defenders, more than 20 mortars were lined up, standing in front of the defenders' positions.

There was a dull sound of mortar shells popping out, and more than 20 mortar barrels quickly ejected a flame mixed with a large amount of white smoke from the muzzle, and then more than 20 mortar shells burst into sharp With the sound of howling through the air, they flew towards the mountain pass position where hundreds of officers and soldiers of the garrison battalion had gathered 500 meters away.

Because of the continuous sound of shell explosions behind them, the hundreds of officers and soldiers hiding in the mountain pass position, aiming their guns at the Soviet attacking troops, and preparing to carry out another massacre against the Soviet attacking troops, did not feel the dozens of mortar shells at all. coming.

When several violent shell explosions sounded around, more than a dozen soldiers of the National Defense Forces were either killed or injured and were blown to the ground.The soldiers hiding in the ruins discovered the difference in the Soviet attack.

Because of the continuous bombardment of the Soviet artillery battalion on the rear battalion headquarters, the battalion commander went directly to the forefront of the battlefield to command the troops.

Seeing more than 20 strands of black smoke rising rapidly from the middle of the position, the battalion commander frowned quickly into a deep Sichuan character.Glancing at the deputy battalion commander, whose complexion suddenly became ugly, he said in a gloomy tone, "It's a mortar... This time, the old man has become smarter and knows how to use mortars to cover the troops' attack..."

After finishing speaking, he ordered to the deputy battalion commander who was a little at a loss behind him: "Old Wang, immediately order the brothers of the first or second companies to prepare for artillery defense... All participating troops are prohibited from gathering together. The shells are all in one pot... In addition, inform our three mortar platoons to find out the old man's mortar position and find a way to kill him. Of course, even if he can't kill the opponent, he can't let the old man launch shelling at us so easily . . . "

"Yes, Battalion Commander..." The Deputy Battalion Commander, who had reacted from the panic, replied loudly.

When the deputy battalion commander returned to the battalion commander from the trench and slowly adapted to the bloody environment of the battlefield.The solemn battalion commander continued to order: "Compared with us, the Lao Maozi's offensive troops have an absolute advantage in artillery fire. However, we also have an advantage, that is, the proportion of automatic weapons. Therefore, we must take our advantage To carry forward, to weaken the old man's advantage...."

The deputy battalion commander who came out of the military academy is still clear about these basic combat common sense.Facing the battalion commander in front of him, he asked: "Battlemaster, you mean to fight melee with the old man..."

"Yes..." the battalion commander confirmed without hesitation with a gloomy face.

"Only in close combat can the old Maozi's heavy firepower advantage not be brought into play. And the large number of semi-automatic rifles in our hands can inflict heavy damage on the enemy in a short period of time and force them to retreat..."

"In addition, during close combat, even if one or two companies fail to stop the old Maozi's offensive by accident, we don't have to be afraid. Don't forget that we still have more than a dozen reinforced concrete bunkers on both sides of the mountain pass. As long as the machine guns in these bunkers Open fire, and you can form an airtight bullet net before the old Maozi attacks the troops, blocking them..."

After nodding his head in admiration to the battalion commander, the deputy battalion commander replied decisively: "Battlemaster, I understand... I will immediately convey the order, the old Maozi's attacking troops do not enter 50 meters, we will definitely not open fire to counterattack..." ( To be continued..)
