Rebirth of the Republic of China: The Rise of China

An hour passed in a blink of an eye, and the sound of guns and artillery that resounded throughout the battlefield gradually quieted down.Seeing that the attacking troops were getting farther and farther away from him, the smile on Lei Tianming's face was replaced by seriousness, and he ordered to the chief of staff behind him: "Chief of staff, contact all the attacking troops immediately. Quickly retreat and count the results of the battle. Before dawn, I want to know the results and losses of each department..."

"Yes, Master..."

The next morning, the division commander Lei Tianming was awakened by a series of deafening cheers before he woke up from his sleep.

"Long live.....Long live.....Long live the Wehrmacht...."

"Adjutant, what happened outside, why is it so noisy..." Lei Tianming, who woke up from his dream, asked the adjutant standing at the door.

Soon, the adjutant with the rank of major on his shoulders appeared in front of Lei Tianming and reported, "Master, it is our brothers from the 071 Division who are cheering... Although the results we achieved last night were huge, but in the dark I can’t see clearly. No, just after dawn, the Mongol corpses piled up around us were seen by the brothers. After seeing the piles of Mongol corpses around us, the brothers subconsciously started cheering. Master seat , you don’t know, the Mongolian corpses outside are piled up like mountains, at least tens of thousands of them..."

"Let's go out and have a look..." Lei Tianming quickly put on a military overcoat, stood up quickly, and walked out of the tent.

Raising the binoculars, the tragic situation on the battlefield appeared clearly in front of Lei Tianming like a movie.Countless war horses and Mongol corpses.Lei Tianming would not have dared to imagine the severed limbs that had been crushed into meat paste by the tracks of the tanks...if it wasn't covered with a thick layer of snow.Are you standing in the middle of a mountain of corpses...

At this moment, the excited chief of staff rushed over upon hearing the news.Reported to Lei Tianming: "Master, great victory..."

"According to battlefield statistics, we ate at least 8000 Mongolian cavalry last night...In addition, we also seized more than 4000 horses...Although more than [-] of these horses have been injured, but the injured four thousand One war horse is enough for our army to consume meat for the next month. That is to say, with the captured horse meat alone, we will no longer need to airlift any meat products and food to us from the rear in the next month..."

Lei Tianming nodded and asked, "What about the loss... Is our loss big?"

"Not much..." the chief of staff denied: "Because of the cover of armored troops. In addition, we have plenty of ammunition in our hands. During the entire battle, our losses were only more than [-] people, and they were all lost in sorties. .”

With a long sigh of relief, Lei Tianming analyzed: "The loss of 800 people, plus the loss a few days ago, we have lost half of the regiment, and there are at least half of the wounded at least half, we must give timely treatment. Otherwise, in such a bad situation Under the circumstances, when the war is over, these lightly and severely wounded will be permanently disabled even if they don’t die.”

"Chief of Staff. Please contact the Air Force immediately. Can you send a transport plane to transport all the lightly and seriously wounded in our hands back? If yes, our 071 Division will immediately mobilize all the engineering units of the entire army to build a field airport again for transport planes to take off and land. .”

The chief of staff affirmed: "Division seat. I will contact the headquarters and the air force immediately... But, the main force of the division is next..."

"We fought for several hours yesterday, not just us. All the brothers in the army have worked hard... Order the junior troops to rest immediately... All the logistics troops in the whole army. Cooperate with the engineers to find favorable terrain to build a field airport..."

Ulaanbaatar, the capital of Outer Mongolia, is a rare prairie city on the prairie of Outer Mongolia.Because the Mongols are mainly cavalry.The big Ulaanbaatar did not build a city wall as high as ten meters as in the Central Plains, but only built an earth wall less than five meters high around the city.

Because of the series of military operations that are taking place in front of us, Mongolian cavalry and Soviets can be seen everywhere in Ulan Bator, Nuoda.Of course, a tense and dignified atmosphere also shrouded the city on the prairie, causing the people living in the city to stay in their homes and dare not wander on the streets.

At the General Headquarters of the Outer Mongolian Army located in the center of Ulaanbaatar, Qiaobashan, dressed in the uniform of a marshal, glanced solemnly at the subordinates standing in front of him, full of anger.

Although the Outer Mongolian cavalry has achieved considerable results in several consecutive days of attack, it almost wiped out the three combat groups of the National Defense Forces on the snow-capped Mongolian prairie.However, the Outer Mongolian army under his command also suffered unprecedented losses.

Under the joint attack of the National Defense Forces air force, tank troops, and ground forces, the tens of thousands of elite Mongolian cavalry responsible for encircling the three combat groups of the National Defense Forces can be said to be collapsed at the touch of a button.There are a total of [-] elite Mongolian cavalry, but the number of cavalry that successfully retreated to Ulan Bator was less than [-].

You know, these cavalry are formed by my own hard work all my life.Now, because of an instigation by the Soviet Far East Red Army, because of a small temptation given to him by the Soviet Far East Red Army, he completely buried the tens of thousands of elite cavalry that he had spent most of his life on the Mongolian prairie and in the hands of the National Defense Forces.

Regret, this is the only thought in Choibalsan's mind at this moment.However, there is no regret medicine for the incident. Since I have done it, I have to bear the consequences of this incident.

Faced with the three combat groups of the National Defense Forces who were murderous all the way to Outer Mongolia and Ulan Bator.What Choibalsan can do is to defend Ulaanbaatar and his last stronghold with the help of the Soviets at all costs.

A pair of murderous eyes quickly glanced at the surrounding subordinates, and then shouted with a murderous look: "Who can tell me what we should use to defend against the attack of the Han army? Can anyone tell me a satisfactory answer... ..”

Seeing the increasingly tense atmosphere in the headquarters, the Soviet major general standing beside Choibalsan had no choice but to say: "Commander Choibalsan, I deeply regret the loss of your troops. However, the great Soviet Far East Red Army will never I watched my allies fail, and watched your army be wiped out under the attack of the National Defense Forces..."

Seeing a look of hope flashing quickly in Qiao Basan's eyes.The major general of the Soviet Union regained his usual haughty expression in his eyes, and said to Choibalsan in front of him: "Commander Joe, in order to support you, support the Outer Mongolia Army. On behalf of the great Soviet government, I unconditionally support that your ministry can arm five lightly armed field divisions. All weapons and equipment. This morning, I have contacted the Soviet government, and the Far East Army will send all the equipment here in three days. Therefore, as long as Commander-in-Chief Joe gathers the Mongolian warriors of the five light field divisions again, the five main divisions The army will be formed in a short time to defend Outer Mongolia."

"Really... Comrade Major General, the Soviet government will really provide me with weapons and equipment for five field divisions in Outer Mongolia..." Qiao Bashan asked the Soviet Major General excitedly as if he had found a savior.

The major general of the Soviet Union nodded affirmatively and replied: "Commander Joe, all the equipment must be in place within three days. What you need to do now is to summon [-] Mongolian warriors within three days. After the weapons and equipment arrive, re-form five field divisions , Block the National Defense Forces, defend Outer Mongolia...."

"In addition to the equipment of the five main field divisions, the Soviet Far East Red Army will also send two heavy artillery divisions, one aviation division, and one tank division, with a total of 2 technical arms, and arrive in Outer Mongolia in a week. Participate in the battle in person The battle of the Wehrmacht..."

Hearing this, the confident look on Qiaoba's face became stronger, and he assured the Soviet major general: "Comrade major general, please rest assured, there are five main field divisions in hand. In addition, the Soviet Red Army has an aviation division and a tank division." Division, two heavy artillery divisions participated in the battle. I believe that the victory of this battle must belong to us, to my Outer Mongolia..."

finished.Without waiting for the major general of the Soviet Union to react, he ordered to his subordinates who also looked expectant in front of him: "Warriors, everyone has heard it. It won't take long before we will have all the weapons and equipment of the five main divisions. Now I order everyone, each tribe in the entire Outer Mongolia region, in units of size, must send [-] to [-] Mongolian warriors to the general headquarters within three days for us to form a new Mongolian army and establish a Mongolian state... "

"Yes, Commander-in-Chief..."

As night fell, the mighty march of the 071 Division of the National Defense Forces slowly stopped.Subsequently, each battalion began to build a resident with the division headquarters as the center.Of course, the three fighter jets of the First Battalion of the First Regiment of the First Division of the Air Force of the National Defense Forces who had been cruising for a whole day above the 071 Division also disappeared on the vast prairie with the hope of the ground troops.

As soon as division commander Lei Tianming walked into the tent of the division headquarters, the chief of staff reported: "Mr. Commander, do you want to deploy double sentry and security troops tonight... This place has completely penetrated into Outer Mongolia, and it is only [-] meters away from Ulaanbaatar, the capital of Outer Mongolia. The last two days of the itinerary are left. Maybe now we are under the eyes of the Outer Mongolian army when we do anything..."

"Then set up double security posts. In addition, order the division to belong to the armored assault battalion. It is best to be ready to attack at any time. The Mongolian prairie can almost be said to be the world of Mongolian cavalry. If there is no armored unit that can shoot, even if it is attacked To attack, you can only be beaten passively." Lei Tianming ordered firmly.

However, before his order was sent out of the tent, a loud report reached Lei Tianming's ears.

"Reporting to the division seat, the investigation team urgently reports..."

Lei Tianming frowned, and ordered to the tent door: "Come in, what's the urgent report from the scouting team..."

As soon as the voice fell, the combat staff officer walked into the tent quickly, and the captain Lei Tianming opened his mouth to report: "Division seat, the reconnaissance troop reported that an unknown troop was found five kilometers north of the garrison. Tanks and artillery. The reconnaissance force has been ordered to conduct reconnaissance, and I believe it will not take long for new news to come.”

An unbelievable expression quickly appeared on Lei Tianming's face, but this expression only lasted for five seconds before showing a thoughtful expression.After a long sigh, he opened his mouth and said: "Chief of Staff, judging from the news brought by the reconnaissance troops, the information sent to us by the headquarters two days ago has become a reality. Form five main field divisions. The army that appeared in front of us is a main division that the Mongols have just formed. However, there is one thing I haven't figured out. Where do the tank troops that appear among the Mongols come from? Even if the Soviets had armored tanks to support the Mongols, it would be impossible for the Mongols to drive the tanks to participate in the battle in a short time."

The chief of staff smiled wryly and shook his head and replied: "Master, I don't know the specific situation. However, I only know one fact. Any strategy will be crushed in the face of real strength. Now we have ammunition, The fuel is also very sufficient. The Mongols will come if they want, and our soldiers will come to cover the water and soil..."

Lei Tianming nodded in approval, and then ordered to the combat staff in front of him: "Commander Wang, immediately order the investigation troops to closely monitor every move of the Mongolian army, and try to find out the strength and equipment of the Mongolian army as much as possible." …”

"Chief of staff, you immediately order the 071 regiment, the armored assault battalion, the first battalion of the tank regiment, and the first battalion of the heavy artillery regiment. All the above-mentioned officers and soldiers quickly finish their dinner and prepare for battle... The rest of the army, take the time to rest, in case A showdown will take place tonight."

The Mongolian Army five kilometers away is none other than the new Mongolian First Division just formed by Choibalsan, the First Tank Regiment, and the First and Second Heavy Artillery Regiment directly recruited by the Soviet Red Army.With the corresponding logistics troops, the total strength reached an astonishing 2 people.

A mixed force of 5000 Mongols and Soviets was ordered to arrive here under the cover of night.A decisive battle with the National Defense Forces, whose total strength is less than 071.Of course, even if the 071 Division cannot be wiped out in this decisive battle, the [-] Division must be severely damaged.Create favorable conditions for the Mongolian army for the next decisive battle.

In the joint headquarters of the Mongolian army, a Mongolian officer with the rank of lieutenant general sat on the main seat.Two Soviet officers with the rank of colonel on their shoulders sat next to them, and the others carried major generals on their shoulders.The Mongolian military officer with the rank of colonel is issued according to the size of the position, so that he sits on two Soviet officers.

Looking at this posture, you know that the Mongolian army, which is already ready to go, is holding a pre-war combat meeting.

The commander of the Mongolian army, who carried the rank of lieutenant general on his shoulders, glanced at his surrounding subordinates, and then focused his attention on the Soviet colonel, who was the underdog.Then, he asked slightly flatteringly: "Comrade Colonel, what are your views and opinions on this war..."

The Soviet colonel with a haughty expression from the heart did not hesitate, and directly suggested in an orderly tone: "My idea is very simple. With the powerful assault capability of the tank regiment, under the cover of two heavy artillery regiments, I suddenly want to launch an attack on the Wehrmacht garrison. .Into the National Defense Forces position with lightning speed. Finally, the first division of the Mongolian Army, which then attacked, rushed into the National Defense Forces garrison and engaged in close combat with the National Defense Forces. Only in this way can the National Defense Forces firepower advantage be weakened by us. And Mongolia Only the strong close combat ability of the First Division of the Army can be brought into full play."

Although he was very dissatisfied with the Soviet colonel's haughty tone, but thinking that he would have to rely on Soviet tanks and artillery in the next battle, the Mongolian lieutenant general could only grit his teeth and put this dissatisfaction into his heart again, with a full face. Complimentary expression support: "I agree with Comrade Colonel's suggestion, now I order that the newly formed first regiment will serve as the first echelon attack force, follow the Soviet tank regiment, and attack the Wehrmacht barracks... The newly formed second regiment, the first The third regiment is the second echelon, and as soon as the first echelon enters the National Defense Forces garrison, it will immediately launch a decisive attack, rush into the National Defense Forces garrison, and engage in close combat with the National Defense Forces that we are best at."

"Yes, Commander-in-Chief..."

The night on the Mongolian prairie was getting darker and darker, and the prairie that was still peaceful during the day unexpectedly had strong winds. Not only that, but the weather that had been clear for several days also began to snow heavily.The grassland, which had no visibility at first, became even lower as the wind and snow became heavier.

Standing outside the barracks, you can't even see things five meters away.Coupled with the cover of the sound of wind and snow, just less than 50 meters away from the barracks, the noise of people in the barracks disappeared completely.

Looking at the snowstorm that was getting bigger and bigger in front of him, the commander-in-chief of the Mongolian army seemed to see the heavenly soldiers and generals, and said excitedly: "Warriors, God is helping me. Such a big snowstorm is simply given to us by God." The best cover... I believe that under the cover of this snowstorm, even if we are one kilometer closer to the Wehrmacht barracks, it is impossible to arouse the other party's suspicion."

Then, he ordered to the subordinates in front of him: "Now I order, all combat units will immediately enter the combat state, and two hours later, they will start attacking the National Defense Army barracks... The division headquarters is directly under the cavalry regiment, and immediately use the company as a unit. The reconnaissance troops of the National Defense Forces must launch an attack before the war, so that the National Defense Forces will become blind and deaf..."

Wehrmacht reconnaissance units are definitely the best equipped of all field units.However, on the prairie without any hidden objects, it is impossible for scouts with excellent equipment to block the almost endless Mongolian cavalry like wolves and tigers.

The reconnaissance troops of the National Defense Forces in squads and platoons are like prey on the grassland. After being hacked by the Mongolian cavalry with butcher knives, they fell on the vast grassland and turned into corpses.

Of course, the convenience of being equipped with walkie-talkies in the field troops of the National Defense Forces and the platoons in the reconnaissance troops saved the lives of more than 071 soldiers of the 1 Division at a critical moment.

In the vast snow field, they knew that they could not escape the pursuit of the Mongolian cavalry, and they could not escape the scouting troops pursued by the Mongolian cavalry.In the process of fighting, without exception, the incident of being attacked by the Mongolian cavalry was transmitted to the division headquarters through the walkie-talkie.
