Rebirth of the Republic of China: The Rise of China

In the eyes of tens of thousands of Soviet recruits, there are two reasons that support them to fight here: the harsh military law of the Soviet Red Army and the commanders, especially those political commissars scattered among the troops, set an example on the battlefield.

Among these recruits, few of whom had seen bloody scenes, once these two restraints were lost, the tens of thousands of Red Army soldiers would be reduced to a group of rout soldiers without any fighting power, like trying to chase ducks away.

The National Defense Army's artillery fire struck, and the troops suddenly fell into an unprecedented chaotic situation where the generals did not know the soldiers, and the soldiers did not know the generals.Under such circumstances, the binding force of military law on them has been reduced to a minimum.After all, at this moment, not only himself was involved in the chaos, but the command system at all levels of the Far East Red Army also fell into chaos.

Under such circumstances, the only thought in the minds of these rout troops was to gather at the headquarters.In the eyes of these most ordinary Red Army soldiers, in the Soviet barracks where the sound of shell explosions can be seen everywhere, only around the general headquarters can provide themselves with some sense of security, so that they can find an organization and not need to fight alone.

However, what these Soviet troops did not expect was that their last hope, the General Headquarters, regardless of their lives and deaths, quickly retreated outside the barracks under the protection of the guard regiment.

Facing the retreating Far East Red Army General Headquarters, facing the shells that may fall by his side at any time and blow himself into a pile of minced meat.The tens of thousands of recruits in the barracks who had no clue at all finally began to fear.

Under the guidance of fear from the heart, their thoughts have changed from finding the chief and troops to how to save their lives in this attack.Under the shackles of no rules, and it is a matter of life and death, as long as it is a normal person.The first thing I thought of was myself, to save my life.

Looking at the retreating Far East Red Army General Headquarters.Some spirited Red Army soldiers chased directly towards the retreating general headquarters.I want to follow the general headquarters and get rid of the barracks that are always surrounded by artillery fire from the Wehrmacht.

Of course, this kind of soldiers only accounted for a small part of the military camp with tens of thousands of mercenaries.Most of the Red Army soldiers who were eager to leave the barracks, a place of right and wrong, held weapons and ran rampant in the barracks desperately, wanting to leave.

However, in the huge military camp with a radius of several kilometers, their actions not only did not let them get out of the military camp.On the contrary, it exacerbated the chaos in the barracks.Coupled with the constant explosions around them, or the fire fields that continued to spread around, these terrified soldiers gradually lost their direction and began to run around the barracks without thinking.

The sneer on Xiong Shaowen's face became even stronger after seeing the black smoke rising from the Soviet barracks and the expanding fire fields through the binoculars.Especially seeing a crowd of thousands of people in the middle of the barracks rampaging in the barracks and moving outside the barracks, the sneer that shrouded Xiong Shaowen's face was still shrouded in murderous intent.

Facing the subordinates around him.The murderous order said: "The howitzer regiment, under the guidance of the artillery observers, aimed at the flow of people in the old Mao Ouzi's barracks and bombed me. If there is no accident, there must be old Maozi Far East among this flow of people." The headquarters of the Red Army. If we are lucky enough to take down their headquarters, then the more than 4 old men in front of us will really be over..."

"Boom..." A round of 36 large-caliber artillery shells landed on Commander-in-Chief Voroshilov's side with a sharp whistling sound and exploded, and he clearly felt the hot air waves generated by the explosion of the shells.Voroshilov finally knew what the bad feeling in his heart was?

Before the Far East Army Command was transferred, it was under the cover of tens of thousands of Red Army soldiers.All the artillery of the National Defense Forces can do is to shoot aimlessly and blindly at the barracks, and they can't find the barracks that are defending several square kilometers.Where is your headquarters.

However, once the general headquarters began to transfer, the situation was different.There are hundreds of officers in the headquarters of the Far Eastern Army, who are responsible for escorting and defending the thousands of guards in the headquarters, and the soldiers who are constantly joining the headquarters... Such a huge military force passing through the barracks will undoubtedly become the most powerful force in the barracks. Good shelling target.

Not only that, the general headquarters stole before fighting, and wanted to retreat only under the artillery fire of the National Defense Forces. Once the news spread, it would cause a devastating blow to the morale of the entire army.

What will happen to the tens of thousands of recruits who are already in chaos and demoralized after being hit like this?

Of course, Commander-in-Chief Voroshilov, who already knows that he has become a target of the Wehrmacht artillery, has no time to think about this issue.The moment the heat wave hit him, an order came out of his mouth: "Bombardment... Order the guards to disperse immediately and don't concentrate around the command post. The command post has become a target for the artillery of the Wehrmacht..."

Although Commander-in-Chief Voroshilov's order has been issued, it is not known how far this order can be spread.

With the help of close-range artillery observers, 36 rounds of heavy artillery shells fell very accurately around the headquarters of the Far East Red Army as if they had eyes.The shell exploded, and more than 30 no-man's land with a radius of tens of meters appeared directly around the headquarters.More importantly, the broken limbs and arms of the soldiers blown up by the shells fell around like rain...

Facing the broken limbs and broken arms of soldiers falling from the sky, the internal organs filled with bloody smell, the Soviet soldiers who were frightened by the sudden artillery fire seemed to suddenly see a particularly terrifying scene, regardless of the officers around them roaring, as if the surrounding collapsed Like a soldier, he spread his legs and began to scurry around.

In an instant, the only organized guard regiment in the entire Soviet barracks also became chaotic.

The order from Commander-in-Chief Voroshilov had just reached the head of the Far East Red Army Guard Regiment, but it could no longer be passed on because of the increasingly chaotic organization of the Guard Regiment.

Not only that, but in the eyes of countless routs around, the Far Eastern Red Army General Headquarters was always their last hope. Even though the Far Eastern Red Army General Headquarters had been targeted by a heavy artillery regiment of the National Defense Forces, it might become cannon fodder for this heavy artillery regiment at any time.

As a result, while Commander-in-Chief Voroshilov gave the order to disperse, under the attack of the heavy artillery regiment, thousands of soldiers who had fallen into chaos were routed.Instead, like a school of sharks smelling blood, they gathered around Commander-in-Chief Voroshilov desperately.

look around.The number of Soviet soldiers gathered around Commander-in-Chief Voroshilov not only did not decrease.On the contrary, it is continuously increasing.

Commander-in-chief Voroshilov, who escaped the first round of heavy artillery strikes under the protection of the guards around him, had a serious and livid face that could almost bleed.After a long sigh, he said helplessly to the political commissar beside him: "Political commissar, it's over, we're over...even the most elite guard regiment of the Far East Red Army is in chaos, let alone other troops..."

When the General Headquarters of the Soviet Far East Red Army suffered round after round of artillery fire from the heavy artillery regiment.The Thirteenth Army was equipped with more than 200 mortars, more than 50 field guns, and more than 50 mountain guns, which had already tilted to the Soviet barracks with more than [-] shells of various calibers.

Such a huge number of shells.Even if one shell wiped out a Soviet army, more than 1 shells could kill more than [-] old Maozi soldiers.The artillery won the first battle, and the infantry was not idle...

The three infantry regiments took the battalion as a unit, and under the cover of the corresponding tank units and armored units, they quietly entered the attack position.Seeing the Soviet barracks that was completely in chaos one kilometer away, all the infantry soldiers' eyes were filled with fiery gazes, holding their weapons tightly and waiting for the attack order to come.

Xiong Shaowen, commander of the Thirteenth Army, was far away on the mountain ridge.From the beginning to the end, he watched every move of the entire battlefield through the telescope.I saw that the number of old men gathered around the Soviet Army headquarters not only did not decrease due to heavy artillery shelling, but showed signs of continued increase.The murderous look on Xiong Shaowen's face became even stronger, and he commanded in a deep voice behind him.

"Send an order to the Heavy Artillery Regiment to concentrate firepower. Bombard the Soviet command headquarters...other artillery units. After 5 minutes of artillery preparation, immediately extend the artillery fire...Infantry. After 5 minutes, launch an attack on the Soviet barracks. The tens of thousands of old men left in the army barracks were completely defeated. If they were eaten, the old men would not be able to hold on..."

Faced with a continuous attack by a heavy artillery regiment.As early as 2 minutes ago, the Far East Red Army General Headquarters had to be dispersed because of this, and under the protection of their respective guards, they dispersed to break through.Seeing the barracks being ravaged by the artillery units of the Wehrmacht over and over again, Commander-in-Chief Voroshilov, who was breaking out in embarrassment, listened unbearably.

Facing a combat staff officer who was following behind him, he asked loudly: "Artillery, what about our artillery unit... It has been 5 minutes since it was attacked... 5 minutes have passed, why is our artillery still If they don't fight back, don't they all eat dry food..."

The combat staff officer replied with a look of embarrassment: "Comrade Commander-in-Chief, it's not that the artillery doesn't counterattack, it's that the artillery can't counterattack at all... Since the barracks was attacked, the headquarters did give the artillery counterattack orders. However, the headquarters and the artillery The connection between them was completely broken in less than half a minute... According to reports from the troops stationed around the artillery, the artillery was also attacked by the artillery of the National Defense Forces and fell into chaos, temporarily unable to participate in the battle...."

"Asshole... The National Defense Forces, what do the National Defense Forces want to do? Do they want to destroy us with three hundred artillery pieces..." Commander Voroshilov, whose heart was completely enveloped in anger, but had nowhere to go, seemed angry The lion roared sharply at the subordinates around him.

Perhaps to confirm his conjecture, just as his words fell, a terrified voice suddenly reached his ears: "Report to the Commander-in-Chief, tanks, the Wehrmacht tanks have launched an attack on our barracks..."

Looking down from the air: the soldiers of the National Defense Forces of the nine infantry battalions, led by tanks and armored vehicles, are like nine unstoppable swords out of their scabbards, and they stabbed straight at the Soviet barracks.

Of course, the chaotic Soviet barracks were not unresponsive to the subsequent infantry fortifications of the Wehrmacht.Some first-level units of the company and platoon, which had found their organization in the chaos, set up their weapons one after another, trying to block the steel offensive of the National Defense Forces with their flesh and blood, and buy some time for the barracks that were still in chaos behind them.

However, their ideas are obviously too naive.

With the continuous development of the industrialization process, tanks and armored combat vehicles began to appear on the battlefield.The blocking position built with flesh and blood, after passing the verification of no battles, clearly told the world's top teams that this outdated style of play has been completely eliminated by modern warfare.

Facing the fragile line of defense temporarily arranged by the Soviet army, not only the tankers, but even the infantry behind Tucker showed a mocking expression.

The thick and short muzzle on the top of the tank quickly adjusted its direction, ready to launch against the temporary Soviet defense line.Not only that, but the three infantry platoons are equipped with grenades.Under the cover of the tank body, the half-meter-long muzzle was quickly raised.then.One after another, special grenades were fired into the Soviet defense line without hesitation.

Compared with the aimless long-range strike of heavy artillery, the range of grenades is very short.But very precise.More than a dozen grenades in a row seemed to have eyes, and fell directly on the Soviet defense line, blowing up the temporary defense line just established by the Soviet army to pieces.Looking at the corpses of comrades-in-arms who have fallen in a pool of blood, especially those whose limbs have been mutilated by the grenade, the morale of the surviving soldiers around them has just recovered.

Especially seeing the army battalion retreating rapidly away from the defense line behind because of the attack on the defense line.These organized soldiers no longer had the courage to continue fighting, and dropped their weapons amid the roar of the officers around them.Like a frightened rabbit, chasing after the rout soldiers who kept moving away from him.

Although several Soviet commanders took out their pistols, they shot and killed several defeated soldiers on the battlefield.However, under the unstoppable offensive of the Wehrmacht, this persistence is obviously futile.When several Soviet commanders were all killed on the battlefield under the attack of the Wehrmacht snipers, the entire defense line finally collapsed.

The National Defense Forces in charge of the attack directly chased after these routs.While killing and injuring the Soviet army with machine gun fire, at the same time, like driving ducks, they drove the densely packed old Maozi out of their barracks...

Under the continuous oppression of the Nine Route Attack Forces of the National Defense Forces.This kind of defeat was like a plague, and it began to spread completely among the chaotic Soviet barracks.Tens of thousands of old Maozi recruits, who were completely terrified, pushed each other, or stepped on the corpses of their fallen comrades.Desperately rushing to the outside of the barracks, wanting to escape from this barracks that might kill him at any time.

Seeing the subordinates pouring out of the barracks in front of him like frightened rabbits.On the face of Commander-in-Chief Voroshilov who was still in high spirits a day ago.He was also slowly shrouded in panic.Looking at the rout soldiers who kept running past him in front of him and ignored him as the commander-in-chief.Voroshilov directly roared in despair.

"It's over, it's over... a whole army of [-]. It just collapsed on the land of the Far East like a duck. The National Defense Army, is it true that the National Defense Army is the mortal enemy that I, Voroshilov, will never be able to defeat in my life? Such a result makes me How to explain to Comrade Stalin far away in Moscow, how to explain to the Red Army General Headquarters..."

After finishing speaking, Voroshilov, with a look of despair on his face, directly took out his own gun, loaded the bullet, pointed at his temple and wanted to pull the trigger, and apologized to the Red Army General Command and to Stalin, whom he had always admired, for committing suicide.However, before his gun could get close to his head, some strange guards around him had decisively seized the gun from Commander-in-Chief Voroshilov's hand.

Then, he persuaded Commander-in-Chief Voroshilov: "Commander-in-Chief, please calm down...Although we have failed, the main force of the Far East Red Army is still there. There is a Chinese saying that 'If you keep the green hills, you will not worry about firewood. Burning...'As long as our main force is still in hand, we have the opportunity to continue to counterattack and defeat the National Defense Forces...Please stay useful for the commander-in-chief and lead us to continue to fight against the Chinese National Defense Forces. As for the Moscow Red Army General Command, I think The responsibility for this defeat does not lie with you, Commander-in-Chief, as long as you give Comrade Stalin a reasonable explanation, Stalin will definitely give us a chance to make our crimes and meritorious deeds..."

Under repeated dissuasion by several guards, Commander-in-Chief Voroshilov finally gave up the idea of ​​committing suicide as an apology.After a long sigh, he said to the guards around him: "Maybe you are right, I still have a chance to defeat the Chinese National Defense Force on the battlefield again, and wash away the shame I have suffered at the hands of the Chinese National Defense Force..."

After finishing speaking, he sternly ordered to the guards beside him who breathed a sigh of relief: "Since you are going to retreat, why are you still standing there in a daze? If you don't retreat immediately, are you going to wait here for the Chinese National Defense Force's attacking troops to seize us all by the National Defense Forces?" Prisoner of war camp, become a Wehrmacht prisoner of war?"

"Yes, Commander-in-Chief..." Under the escort of more than a dozen guards, Commander-in-Chief Voroshilov quickly got rid of the shackles of the rout, and fled to a Soviet Red Army stronghold closest to the battlefield without attracting attention. .

Lost command, lost the courage to continue fighting.Tens of thousands of old Maozi recruits, including their commanders, have completely turned into a group of ducks without any restraint at this moment.Chased by teams of National Defense Forces soldiers behind him, he fled desperately to a place he thought was safe.

However, this escape is obviously meaningless.

Because, when they fled, they not only gave up all the combat supplies that the troops had hoarded in the barracks, but also gave up the only tent that could be used to keep out the cold.Under the pursuit of the National Defense Forces, it will not take long for these defeated soldiers to be knocked down by the cold and hunger of the Far East, and finally, obediently become prisoners of the National Defense Forces.

Seeing the occupation of the battlefield completely in favor of the National Defense Forces, Xiong Shaowen, who had been exuding a murderous aura all over his body, finally saw a smile from the heart on his face. (To be continued..)
