Rebirth of the Republic of China: The Rise of China

Seeing the white bandage tied on the arm of the Second Battalion Commander in front of him, which was completely stained red by the blood seeping out of the wound due to strenuous exercise, Deputy Commander Wang Tianzheng couldn't help feeling a sharp pain in his heart.Even the major battalion commander who commanded hundreds of people was seriously injured on the battlefield, not to mention the ordinary soldiers who had no one to protect them.

Deputy Commander Wang Tianzheng subconsciously asked with a worried expression on his face: "Second Battalion Commander, how many people are left in the army and how long can we last? Give me a specific data..."

"Reporting to the deputy commander, there are less than 250 of the more than 60 people defending the heavy artillery position, including more than 200 people who are slightly or seriously wounded. If the next offensive of the Cantonese army is still as violent as before, Use all the mortars and heavy machine guns, and within an hour at the latest, the remaining [-] people in the battalion will be wiped out..." The second battalion commander replied almost sadly.

"One hour, the time is too short, is it possible to persist for a longer time..." Wang Tianzheng's worried expression was instantly replaced by a serious expression, and he asked the second battalion commander in front of him in a deep voice.

The Second Battalion Commander shook his head and replied: "Deputy Commander, I also want to persist for a longer time... But, without heavy weapons to compete with the Cantonese Army, this kind of idea can't be realized at all..."

Deputy Commander Wang Tianzheng slammed his clenched fist on the desk in the command room, and said with a look of hatred: "It's a pity, we have dozens of large-caliber heavy artillery pieces in our hands, but we can't provide close-range artillery fire for the brothers." For support, I can only watch my brothers die under the enemy's artillery fire...Who, who of you can come up with a way to make the brothers last longer..."

The atmosphere at the command center froze.When it became quieter and quieter.A young combat staff officer suddenly said: "Report to the deputy commander, although the heavy artillery can't provide close-range artillery support for the brothers. However, we still have inexhaustible heavy artillery in our hands. There are so many heavy artillery. As long as they are used well , you can provide close-range artillery support to the brothers..."

"Eh..." A glimmer of hope quickly appeared on Wang Tianzheng's face, and he asked the staff officer who had just spoken and only carried the rank of lieutenant on his shoulders. He had just graduated from the military academy at a glance.

"Consultant Wang, I remember that you were born as an engineer. If there is any way, just let me know. As long as you can solve this method and save the brothers from the artillery fire of the Cantonese army, I assure you. After this battle, as long as we can go back alive, I will transfer you to the first-line army to serve as the commander, and fulfill your long-cherished wish..."[

"Thank you, Deputy Commander, I will definitely do it, and let the Cantonese Army have a taste of the power of our National Defense Army engineers..." Lieutenant Wang Weidong hurriedly saluted Wang Tianzheng, and said excitedly.

You know, in the National Defense Forces, any promotion depends on military exploits.It's safe to say.Although it is very easy to stay and work in the brigade by myself, and there is no danger to life, however.The jobs here are the least likely to get promoted.As the National Defense Forces become more and more mechanized, engineers will play an increasingly important role in front-line combat units, and their chances of being promoted on the battlefield will also increase.so.After graduating from the military academy, Lieutenant Wang Weidong's most wanted wish was to enter the front-line combat troops.Start as a low-ranking engineer officer and work your way through the ranks as quickly as possible.

Under the watchful eyes of Deputy Commander Wang Tianzheng.Wang Weidong opened his mouth and analyzed: "Deputy Commander, the heavy artillery guns piled up on the heavy artillery positions can not only be used as artillery, but in the hands of our engineers, they can also be used as mines, and even used as rockets..."

Wang Tianzheng's eyes lit up, as if thinking of something, he asked Wang Weidong in front of him, "Staff Wang, what you mean is to use the cannon as a rocket to attack the attacking troops of the Cantonese army... How sure is it? Can it be realized? I know, I've never heard of what you're talking about..."

Staff officer Wang Weidong, who carried the rank of lieutenant on his shoulders, replied confidently: "Please don't worry, the deputy commander. Give me a brother in the squad, plus enough tools to ensure the completion of the task and turn the heavy artillery into a rocket that hits the enemy."

Anyone who has a certain understanding of physical force and chemistry will know the firing principle of guns and cannons.The cannon and the subprime suddenly burned and expanded, and with the help of the cannon barrel and the gun barrel, the cannon and the sub were released.However, in the absence of a gun barrel and a gun barrel, with the energy generated by the instantaneous combustion of the primer, the cannon and the gun can also fly tens of meters, or even hundreds of meters.However, the entire firing process is very dangerous, especially the scorching air waves generated by the sudden combustion of the bottom fire of the gun. If it is not controlled well, it will hurt the soldiers around the gun.

And Wang Weidong, who was born as an engineer, planned to use this principle to launch a cannon weighing tens of kilograms.Of course, Wang Weidong did not intend to rely on manpower during the entire firing process, but fired the large-caliber heavy artillery in a fixed state through electronic detonation.

The deputy commander Wang Tianzheng issued an order, and dozens of heavy artillery shells and a large number of wires were quickly sent to the front-line positions where the Guangdong army was in full swing.With the cooperation of dozens of infantry, several firing positions reinforced with shells and steel plates were quickly built.Afterwards, a heavy cannon was sent into a hole that was completely dug out of the soil and reinforced, with a depth of [-] centimeters and a diameter of [-] centimeters.

Not only that, when the head of the heavy cannon, emitting bursts of cold light, came out of the hole, two slender wires were slowly inserted into the tail of the cannon under Wang Weidong's tinkering, and then the two wires were pulled to a distance of more than ten meters. one of the bunkers and was hooked up to an ordinary bomb detonator.

And at this moment, a new round of offensive by the Cantonese army happened to start.Under the firepower of dozens of mortars and dozens of heavy machine guns, the more than 200 soldiers standing on the ground were directly crushed to the point where they could not lift their heads.Taking advantage of the time when the defenders' counterattack firepower was suppressed again, a regiment of Cantonese troops rushed towards the heavy artillery positions like waves and waves.

Because more than 200 marine brigade officers and soldiers were suppressed, there was no way to fight back. More than 1000 Cantonese offensive troops took advantage of the situation to speed up their offensive pace. In a blink of an eye, the mighty Cantonese offensive troops entered a position 200 meters away from the defense line.If the marine brigade soldiers trapped in the trenches cannot raise their heads to fight back, the two troops with huge disparity in strength will collide with each other, and the most brutal hand-to-hand combat will break out.

From the edge of the trench, I saw the attacking troops of the Cantonese army getting closer and closer to me in front of the position.The battalion commander of the second battalion saw it in his eyes and was anxious in his heart.From time to time, he glanced at the position of Wang Weidong behind him.I hope that Wang Weidong's staff can let the heavy artillery show its power as soon as possible, as Wang Weidong just promised.Help yourself to block the Guangdong army's attack.Otherwise, the remaining more than 200 soldiers under his command will all die in this upcoming hand-to-hand combat battlefield.

Wang Weidong, who quickly hid in the bunker a few meters away, seemed to sense the Second Battalion Commander looking at him, and pressed the detonator in his hand very rationally.In an instant, an orange-red flame rolled up from the position where the cannon was placed. Not only that, but a particularly dull explosion sound followed and reached everyone's ears.

Not to Wang Weidong's surprise, under the watchful eyes of dozens of officers and soldiers, the cannon head quickly detached from its casing, like a mortar cannon flying out of the barrel.It flew into the sky at a speed visible to the naked eye, and then, after drawing a beautiful parabola in the air, crossed its own defense line, as if it had eyes, and smashed into the Guangdong army's attacking troops very accurately.

"Boom..." A heaven-shattering explosion sounded in the dense crowd of Cantonese soldiers, and a ball of orange-red fire mixed with a thick black smoke was centered on the point of impact again at a speed visible to the naked eye.Rapidly expanded to the surroundings. [

The gunpowder smoke shrouded in the coverage area of ​​the artillery fire cleared away, and a huge crater with a depth of more than five meters and a diameter of ten meters was like craters scattered on the surface of the moon.He suddenly appeared in the dense crowd of Cantonese soldiers.

Of course, all Cantonese soldiers within a radius of tens of meters around the artillery point.With one exception, all fell to the ground, motionless.Soldiers of the Cantonese Army located within the artillery pit.Either it was directly vaporized by the scorching air waves generated by the cannon explosion, or it turned into a corpse that had been completely scorched by the fire.As for the soldiers of the Cantonese army outside the pit range.One exception was shocked by the shock wave generated by the explosion of the cannon, bleeding from seven holes, with feet turned inward and head turned outward, and fell on the battlefield.

Under the suppression of the firepower of the Cantonese Army, the commander of the Second Battalion, who was also forced to hide in the trench, was frightened when the gun exploded at close range.However, seeing that this heavy artillery has killed at least more than 30 Cantonese troops, there is still a smile from the heart on the dignified face.After slamming the clenched fist on the trench, he said with a heavy release: "Okay, well done, this Wang Weidong is really capable... Communication soldier, why are you still standing there, contact Wang Weidong immediately, continue to use Let me blow up the heavy artillery, and smash all the heavy artillery in the heavy artillery position at the rear to the attacking troops of the Cantonese army..."

Wang Weidong, who was squatting in the bunker, also saw the scene of the cannon explosion. His original idea became a reality, and his dream of entering the front-line army since he joined the National Defense Forces will also come true, which further aroused Wang Weidong's fighting spirit from the heart.Before waiting for the second battalion commander's order, Wang Weidong jumped out of the bunker like a leopard who had found its prey, rushed to the firing position of the artillery, and deployed the second and even the third heavy artillery.

Then, in less than half a minute, the six heavy artillery shells arranged in a line seemed to have been rehearsed, and they all fell in the middle of the densely packed Cantonese army attacking crowd.

The cannon exploded, and there were six gaps of tens of meters in the middle of the densely packed attacking troops of the Cantonese Army.All the attacking troops of the Cantonese army in this blank area fell to the ground and turned into corpses, with one exception.

"Damn it, it's a good fight, but two companies are gone. I want to see how many infantry companies the Cantonese army can bear to lose..." The commander of the second battalion squatting in the trench, At this moment, I finally let go of my nervous heart, and shouted with a mocking face.

More than 200 marine brigade soldiers of the defending army hid in the trenches and gloated on the sidelines as the Cantonese army suffered more and more losses.The division commander at the rear of the Guangdong Army's attacking force did not unexpectedly show a heartbroken expression.

A round of artillery lost two infantry companies. With the artillery reserve of the heavy artillery position, the division commander can be sure that even if all the tens of thousands of troops under his command are consumed here, the defense line deployed by the National Defense Forces around the heavy artillery position cannot be shaken.

Following the explosion of the third round of counterattack guns of the National Defense Forces, and one of the guns happened to land on the artillery position of the Cantonese Army, the six guns were blasted into parts.The division commander of the Cantonese Army with a heartbroken face finally became ruthless and decisively issued an order to retreat.

An infantry regiment consisted of more than 1000 elite Cantonese troops, and only half of the remaining [-] soldiers successfully returned to their positions.

With the method provided by Wang Weidong, coupled with the sufficient reserves of heavy artillery in the heavy artillery position.The crisis of the two battalions of the Marine Brigade in the heavy artillery position was finally resolved.

The heavy artillery position was lost, and the counterattack to the heavy artillery position failed...Facing the morale of the troops getting lower and lower.Especially the bloody casualty data that his subordinates kept collecting.Chen Jitang, the commander-in-chief of the Guangdong Army, could not hold his breath at first, and stopped urging his subordinates to continue the attack.The sound of guns and artillery that had been noisy outside Guangzhou city for a day also slowly stopped.

Being able to stand out as lieutenant general in the Gui army full of talents, Xia Wei is definitely a very capable professional soldier. The anti-Japanese career of later generations also reflects Lieutenant General Xia Wei's outstanding military command ability.Otherwise, no matter how magnanimous Li Guosheng is, it is impossible for Xia Wei to command tens of thousands of elites in Guangzhou City and decide the future of Guangzhou City.

The Cantonese army took the initiative to stop the attack, and Xia Wei, who carried the rank of lieutenant general on his shoulders, immediately noticed the changes on the battlefield.And keenly discovered a fighter that defeated Chen Jitang, the commander-in-chief of the Guangdong Army, by himself.

Relying on the heavy artillery regiments in the hands of the two battalions of the Marine Brigade, when the morale of the Cantonese Army was low, they suddenly wanted the Cantonese Army Barracks to launch a counterattack and disrupt the Cantonese Army with a fierce offensive.You must know that among all the armies of the Republic of China, even the Central Army under the command of Chiang Kai-shek would collapse without fighting in the event of civil strife.Become a broken soldier without the slightest combat effectiveness.

Just do what you say, fight for two days, although Xia Wei's attention has been focused on the battlefield, but.Xia Wei never let up in the investigation of the enemy.Therefore, to the location of the Cantonese army barracks.Xia Wei knew it clearly a day ago.It's just that because of the tense battle, I can't hesitate to go to the Cantonese army barracks.

Now the two armies are in a standoff.Xia Wei's first thought was to go straight to Huanglong.

Of course, as the commander-in-chief of the Cantonese Army, Chen Jitang did not think about the National Defense Forces raiding his barracks.Therefore, the Cantonese barracks with 3 soldiers were deployed directly outside the range of the National Defense Forces' naval guns.However, no matter what Chen Jitang thought before the start of the war, he could not have imagined that his only heavy artillery regiment would fall into the hands of the National Defense Forces, and the barracks where his [-] soldiers were located happened to be within the range of this heavy artillery regiment.

Under Xia Wei's order, more than [-] heavy artillery pieces of the Heavy Artillery Regiment quickly turned their muzzles and aimed all the barrels of the Heidongdong at the Cantonese Army barracks a few kilometers away.Not only that, all the high-explosives stored by the Cantonese Army Heavy Artillery Regiment, with the efforts of hundreds of marine brigade soldiers, were fuzed and stacked neatly next to the heavy artillery.

As for the third and fourth regiments of the Guangzhou Garrison Command, which were the main attackers, they concentrated all the light machine guns, semi-automatic rifles, and submachine guns of the garrison troops, and prepared for counterattacks and assaults.

Looking at the watch on his wrist, Xia Wei with a serious face slowly picked up the microphone of the wire, wire, electric walkie-talkie, and gave an order under the signal of the communication soldier: "Deputy Commander Wang, now I order to concentrate all the artillery of the heavy artillery regiment. , shoot out all the cannons, now fire..."

"Yes, Commander..." Within two seconds, a confident answer came to Xia Wei's ears through the walkie-talkie.

Subsequently, the deafening sound of artillery explosions sounded from the Cantonese Army barracks a few kilometers away.Just as Commander Xiawei raised his binoculars, dozens of thick black smoke from the cannon explosion appeared in front of him.

Although Xia Weifa saw the results of the first round of shelling by the Heavy Artillery Regiment, he, who has been in the military for many years, has already felt from the sound of the artillery that the Guangdong Army barracks have fallen into chaos at this time.

Putting down the binoculars, he quickly ordered to the adjutant behind him: "Adjutant Wang, immediately order the attacking troops to quickly move towards the barracks of the Cantonese Army. At the same time, order the commander-in-chief of the attacking troops to maintain electrical communication with the heavy artillery regiment and send heavy artillery fire at any time." The regiment guided the latest bombardment target, bombarded the Cantonese army barracks, and maximized the damage and killing of the Cantonese army barracks."

Although the Cantonese Army has a heavy artillery regiment, for most soldiers, they have not really tried it, or even seen the power of the heavy artillery regiment.Therefore, after the first round of heavy artillery exploded in the Cantonese Army barracks, in addition to causing two battalion losses to the Cantonese Army barracks, it also dealt an unprecedented blow to the already low morale of the Cantonese Army.

The raindrops of heavy artillery, under the guidance of the infantry, seemed to have eyes, and they landed on the Cantonese army barracks with more and more precise shots and exploded.

Round after round, in less than half an hour, an astonishing [-] cannons fell into the Cantonese barracks.Five thousand heavy artillery cannons, even if one cannon only kills one officer and soldier of the Cantonese Army, five thousand heavy artillery cannons can successfully take the lives of five thousand Cantonese Army soldiers.

More importantly, after the first round of heavy artillery from the heavy artillery regiment landed on the Cantonese army barracks, Chen Jitang, who had already lost his fighting spirit, once again showed his escape instinct, leading a too close guard team, and fled the barracks under the watchful eyes of tens of thousands of officers and soldiers. .

As a result, the two regiments of the National Defense Forces had just appeared behind the ruins of the Cantonese army barracks, and their morale had dropped to a low point, and the remnants of the Cantonese army that had lost command were like frightened rabbits, fleeing desperately to the surroundings.

In this way, a very funny scene suddenly appeared outside Guangzhou, which had been hustle and bustle for several days.There are still more than 1 remnants of the Cantonese Army. Under the pursuit of less than [-] soldiers from the two regiments of the National Defense Forces, they fled all the way...
