Rebirth of the Republic of China: The Rise of China

Although the more than ten mortars equipped by the garrison battalion opened fire immediately to counterattack, under the bombardment of a field artillery battalion of the Soviet army, they had to die after only holding on for one minute.

Therefore, the more than 20 mortars equipped by Lao Maozi began to unscrupulously pour shells at the mountain pass position at a rate of fire of 300 shells per minute.When hundreds of Soviet attacking troops entered the range of [-] meters of machine guns, the entire mountain pass position was completely shrouded in gunpowder smoke from shells.

The garrison battalion did not fire to fight back, and the position of the garrison battalion was covered by gunpowder smoke, so that the Soviet attacking troops could not see the true colors of the garrison battalion.Under such circumstances, the Soviet commander in charge of the attack directly believed that the squadron standing on the mountain pass was suppressed by his own artillery fire and could not counterattack.

Especially after seeing that one's own offensive troops had broken through to a position 100 meters away from the opponent's position, while the defenders of the mountain pass still had no movement, the Soviet commander became more confident in his own judgment.While waving the pistol, he ordered his subordinates to speed up the attack, and at the same time, he ordered loudly to the signal soldiers who followed closely behind him.

"Contact Comrade Commander, the shelling will stop after half a minute, and the remaining tasks will be handed over to the Second Battalion to complete..."

"Yes, Comrade Battalion Commander..."

Hundreds of old Maozi soldiers appeared like an unstoppable yellow wave, 50 meters in front of the mountain pass position.The sound of mortar shell explosions that kept ringing around everyone also stopped.

In the shelling of the Soviet army, the remnants of one or two companies, who had suffered a lot of losses, quickly raised their heads from the ruins.

Before everyone could react from their astonishment, a murderous roar had already reached everyone's ears.

"Machine gunner. Concentrate your firepower and hit me hard...Rifleman. Prepare the grenade and load the bullets. Prepare to fight the old man... Da da da..." Just as the command sound spread, a series of piercing The hissing of machine guns began to sound on the battlefield, and then, the remaining dozen or so general-purpose machine guns of the two companies began to sound on the battlefield one after another.

More than a dozen machine guns fired suddenly, although they caused a lot of casualties to the Soviet army.However, facing a handful of attacking distances of 50 meters, Lao Maozi, who was lucky enough not to be hit by the first round of bullets, was like a jealous wolf.Still desperately rushing forward.

Soon, the distance between the two armies was shortened from 50 meters to 40 meters.At this time, many old men with fanatical faces had already pulled out grenades from their armed belts and were ready to throw them.Of course, more old Maozi soldiers raised their rifles and fired suppressive bullets at the officers and soldiers of the garrison battalion who were close at hand.

A rain of bullets came head-on to the Yamaguchi position, and a dozen officers and soldiers of the garrison battalion who were ready to go were hit by the rain of bullets in an instant, and fell down in the trench that had been blown into ruins.However, at this moment.At least [-] grenades emitting white smoke suddenly flew out of the trenches, and with a slight whistling sound, they smashed into the densely packed Soviet attacking troops.

The sound of dense grenade explosions just sounded.Hundreds of officers and soldiers of the garrison battalion armed with semi-automatic rifles, as if they had made an agreement, all exposed their upper bodies from the trenches.He raised his semi-automatic rifle.With his fastest rate of fire, he fired bullets at the old man who was instantly covered in gunpowder smoke.

Hundreds of semi-automatic rifles fired in unison.Its power is no less than hundreds of submachine guns.Coupled with the damage caused by more than two hundred grenades to the Soviet attacking troops, in a blink of an eye.More than half of the offensive troops of the Soviet army of more than [-] people were lost.

Hearing the sudden sound of gunfire from the Yamaguchi position, the intensity of gunfire was by no means lower than the power produced by hundreds of machine guns firing at the same time. The commander of the Soviet offensive force knew that with his remaining troops, it was absolutely impossible to break through the Chinese defenders in front of him. The counterattack firepower fired rushed to the mountain pass position.

While his face suddenly changed, he ordered very decisively: "Comrades, immediately throw a grenade, cover with the grenade, and quickly withdraw from the battlefield..."

Hundreds of grenades emitting white smoke flew out of the gunpowder smoke and quickly flew towards the mountain pass position.However, because the Soviet army was in a feint attack state, the defenders could throw grenades into their offensive formation, but the hundreds of grenades they threw were rarely thrown into the garrison camp.

However, the thick gunpowder smoke produced by the explosion of hundreds of grenades, plus dozens of grenades that fell into the garrison camp by chance and exploded.There was a deafening gunshot just now, and finally there was a short pause.

Taking advantage of this gap in firepower, if he is a veteran on the battlefield, he will definitely order the troops to take advantage of the situation to launch an assault and continue to shorten the gap between the two armies.Then, using grenades as cover, rushed to the garrison camp position.

However, under the sudden strafing of the garrison battalion, more than half of them were lost in just a few seconds. The Soviet commander, who had been frightened by the firepower exposed by the garrison battalion, did not find this fighter plane at all.Instead, with a face full of horror, under the cover of hundreds of subordinates, he retreated to the rear in a panic...

Looking at the whole body covered in gunpowder smoke, the commander of the second battalion with a face of shame, and the head of the colonel with a gloomy face had the urge to shoot him directly.However, after a short period of contemplation, he rationally suppressed the impulse in his heart, and asked the major battalion commander sharply: "Comrade major, everything you just said is true... The Chinese defenders in Yamaguchi are really well equipped. With a hundred machine guns, flesh and blood alone can't break through the blocking fire fired by the opponent."

In order to reduce his guilt, the only thing the major battalion commander could do was to suppress the fear in his heart, and replied firmly to the regimental commander and political commissar in front of him: "Regiment commander, political commissar, I assure you on the honor of a soldier, everything just said true….."

The gloomy expression on the face of the head of the regiment finally eased a lot. After a long sigh, he ordered: "In this case, I will give you another chance to commit crimes and make meritorious deeds. Immediately reorganize the remaining troops, especially the soldiers who retreated with you, do a good job." Prepare to attack the mountain pass again. Remember, as a heroic Red Army soldier, you can only move forward, not retreat..."

After the battalion commander of the major left hurriedly with a worried expression, a political commissar who did not speak said: "Comrade commander, if what the battalion commander of the second battalion said is true, then continuing to attack with flesh and blood is tantamount to Death. Therefore, I think we must change the way of attack. Otherwise, we will definitely not be able to complete the task that the commander-in-chief entrusted to my forward regiment..."

After the head colonel sighed.Noncommittal answer: "At first, I thought that to capture the mountain pass in front of me, I only needed some infantry. Now it seems that I was wrong. We completely underestimated the strength of the Chinese defenders. In this case, we have to use the troops equipped by the forward regiment. Tank Battalion..."

After finishing speaking, facing the political commissar and chief of staff in front of him, he ordered with a serious face: "Chief of staff, order the first company of the tank battalion to cover the remnants of the second battalion, and launch an attack on the mountain pass position in 10 minutes... Artillery units. Still follow the previous plan The bombardment plan, cover the artillery fire, and send the order now. This time, we must take down the mountain pass no matter what, otherwise, the troops participating in the attack will not come back..."

If the Soviet army did not deploy tanks, the garrison battalion could still win with the large amount of automatic firepower equipped by the troops.However, once the Soviet army dispatched tank troops.The advantages of automatic firepower possessed by the garrison battalion will all be wiped out.Because, no matter how strong the machine gun firepower the garrison battalion has, the bullets fired by the machine gun can't cause any damage to the tank.

Ten medium-sized tanks with a roar just revealed themselves on the battlefield.The commander of the garrison battalion's face turned from sunny to cloudy, and at the same time, there was a hint of worry from the bottom of his heart.It also slowly surfaced on the face.

After hitting the trench in front of him again with his clenched fists, he said with a resigned expression: "You son of a bitch, you actually dispatched tanks... It's a pity that our garrison battalion is not equipped with rocket launchers, otherwise. More than a dozen rockets passed by. Ten tanks will turn into piles of scrap iron...."

Although the deputy battalion commander next to him suppressed the fear in his heart, he could clearly feel the worry and Shanghai style in his heart from the trembling of his voice.Facing the battalion commander whose face changed drastically, he asked, "Battle commander, what should we do next?"

The battalion commander asked in a deep voice: "Have you contacted the first battalion to reinforce us? The first battalion is the main force and must be equipped with rocket launchers. As long as the first battalion arrives at the position, these tanks can be easily destroyed..."

The deputy battalion commander shook his head and replied: "I just contacted the same battalion 5 minutes ago, but the first battalion still needs 10 minutes to arrive at the battlefield..."

"Two 10 minutes..." Hearing this answer, a glimmer of hope quickly flashed across the battalion commander's face of despair.Talking to himself, he said, "Persisting for 10 minutes means that as long as we repel this round of Soviet attack, the first battalion can rush to the battlefield?"

"Yes, battalion commander..." the deputy battalion commander affirmed.

The desperate expression on the battalion commander's face disappeared immediately, and he said confidently to the deputy battalion commander beside him: "If we only need to repel one attack, then we still have hope..."

After finishing speaking, he ordered to the two company commanders who quickly gathered around him: "Now that the battle has been fought, there are still more than 200 people left in our two companies, and more than 200 people are enough to form more than ten death squads and blow up the old Maozi tanks. Of course, even if it is impossible to blow up the old Maozi tank on the way to attack, we can wait for him to enter our position before blowing it up. Don't forget that we have hidden a company of troops on both sides of the mountain pass. There is this infantry Even if it is connected, it is enough to kill the old-fashioned infantry behind the tank..."

Relying on the rough skin and thick flesh of the tank, the Soviet army continuously poured mortar shells into the mountain pass, and did not stop until the tanks attacked 30 meters in front of the mountain pass.Of course, as soon as the mortar shelling stopped, ten tank guns and twenty vehicle-mounted heavy machine guns equipped with ten tanks sounded on the battlefield, trying to suppress the officers and soldiers of the garrison battalion standing on the mountain pass as much as possible.

Not only that, the hundreds of old men following the tank may be because of the cover of the tank.Hundreds of old men no longer showed any fear on their faces. Under the order of the battalion commander, under the cover of the tank body, they poured bullets into the garrison camp tens of meters away, and at the same time fired grenades with white smoke one after another. Throw it to the defenders' positions that are getting closer and closer to you.

Seeing this, even the battalion commander, who was full of confidence just now, once again showed a trace of worry from the bottom of his heart.Then, facing the deputy battalion commander who was also crushed by the bullets and couldn't lift his head, he ordered murderously: "Notify the third company, shoot immediately, and kill the old Maozi infantry for me... The death squad is ready, as long as the third company Shoot, counterattack immediately, blow up the old Maozi tank at all costs..."

More than a dozen reinforced concrete bunkers that were almost integrated with the mountain finally revealed their hideous faces.A series of black hole barrels quickly protruded from the bunker's firing holes, and then.Facing the hundreds of old Maozi infantry behind the tank, they sprayed an impenetrable bullet net made up of bullets condescendingly.

The steel body of the tank can block bullets from the front.But it can't stop the bullets from the wings and the top of the head.A dozen tongues of flame that were one foot long spewed out from the firing holes just now, and the old Maozi infantry following behind the tank looked like wheat that had been cut.Pieces were swept down by bullets and turned into corpses.

Facing the sudden machine gun fire on both sides of the mountain pass, the ten tanks did not hesitate, and quickly turned their muzzles to shell the machine gun bunker, providing cover for the infantry behind them.

Just as tank gun shells continued to spray out from the thick and short muzzles of tank guns, they exploded around the concrete bunker, rolling up puffs of black smoke. More than 20 death squads, under the cover of a large amount of gunpowder smoke produced by the explosion of the grenade in front of the position, quickly jumped from the position and launched a counterattack against the Soviet tanks.

Although the firepower from both sides of the mountain pass attracted the attention of most Soviet troops.However, some Soviet troops still found the Chinese soldiers who had jumped out of their positions and were constantly rushing towards them.

More than a dozen vehicle-mounted heavy-duty machine guns quickly adjusted their muzzles and fired a series of hot bullets at more than 20 death squad members.

Although the gunpowder smoke that shrouded the battlefield provided a natural cover for the death squads.However, under the frenzied strafing of a vehicle-mounted heavy machine gun at an interval of ten meters, more than 20 death squads, without exception, all fell on the charge road.

Seeing the result, although the commander of the garrison battalion was heartbroken, but.Still mercilessly continued to order: "Second Death Squad, continue to attack... The remaining people, concentrate all firepower for cover..."

"Boom boom boom..." The order was issued, and the remaining two hundred people in the garrison battalion first threw a round of grenades forward.After the grenades sounded one after another, and formed a thicker smoke in front of the position.A new group of more than 20 death-defying players rushed out of the position under the cover of gunpowder smoke.Slowly touch the Soviet tank.

Under the cover of round after round of grenades, among the more than 20 daredevils who attacked this round.Finally, four people successfully approached the Soviet tank and successfully blasted it...

In four consecutive deafening explosions, the garrison battalion cost more than 40 officers and soldiers.Successfully destroyed four Soviet tanks.

Faced with unprecedented losses, the commander of the Soviet tank company, who had made up his mind before departure, decisively changed his combat plan after seeing that the shells fired by his side did not pose any threat to the firepower points on both sides of the mountain pass.Regardless of the infantry behind, concentrate all the firepower of the tank company and attack the mountain pass position in front of you.

In the eyes of the commander of the tank company, as long as he takes down the position of the mountain pass, he can rely on the rough skin and thick flesh of the tank to quickly pass through the mountain pass under the firepower blockade of more than a dozen firepower points on both sides of the mountain pass, and move to the rear of the defenders' firepower point. Attack from the side and rear to the firepower points scattered on both sides of the mountain pass by the defenders.

With a rate of fire of more than 30 shells per minute, six tank guns quickly poured shells into the garrison camp.At the same time, a total of 12 vehicle-mounted heavy-duty machine guns also quickly turned their muzzles, and fired an airtight bullet net above the garrison battalion's head close to the position.As long as the defenders show their heads from the trenches, they will be immediately smashed into a honeycomb by bullets, let alone jump out of the trenches.

Facing the Soviet army's fearless style of play, after meaninglessly losing more than a dozen death-defying members, the battalion commander with a livid face decisively issued an order to stop the counterattack.

For a moment, the entire Yamaguchi garrison camp seemed to be dead. Under the suppression of the firepower of the Soviet tank company, there was no reaction at all...

Seeing the explosion of every shell fired by the tank company under his command, it can set off a blood mist or the soldiers' stumps and arms in the garrison position of the mountain pass.The commander of the tank company ordered arrogantly: "Tank guns, speed up, and continue to fire towards the mountain pass... All the machine guns on the vehicle concentrate their firepower to provide cover. The tank company continues to advance and rush to the defenders' positions...."

Although the commander of the tank company had a good idea, he had just graduated from school and didn't have much experience. Because of the fierceness and cruelty of the battlefield, he forgot one of the most basic combat principles of tanks in small-scale battles: tanks as an assault force When attacking the enemy's position, infantry must be followed.Otherwise, once tanks without infantry rush into the enemy's position, these tanks will become iron coffins burying tankers one by one.

When the six tanks were slowly advancing towards the garrison camp with a roar, facing the constant casualties of his subordinates under the bombardment of the Soviet tanks, the commander of the first battalion, whose face became livid again, finally relaxed. .

After a long breath of relief, he said, "Damn it, the old Maozi's tank has finally arrived... If it doesn't come again, our garrison battalion will be blown up by his tank guns..."

After finishing speaking, he ordered the deputy battalion commander next to him with a murderous face: "Notify the death squads in each company and platoon on the front line, as long as the old Maozi tank passes in front of them, I will blow it up at all costs. As long as we successfully destroy it This round of the old man's attack, the final victory belongs to us..."

When the thick bodies of the six tanks slowly appeared above the trenches, anti-tank grenades that were smoking gunpowder were unsurprisingly stuffed into the tracks of the tanks, or were still in the fuel tanks behind the tanks.

Accompanied by the sound of six violent explosions on the battlefield, the Soviet tanks, which were unstoppable just now, finally turned into six iron coffins ignited with raging fire.Of course, under the condescending strafing of more than a dozen general-purpose machine guns, the more than 300 old-fashioned infantry who attacked with the tank company were unable to retreat, and the entire army was wiped out without accident, turning into corpses... continued..)
