Rebirth of the Republic of China: The Rise of China

**naked threats

"Black smoke, squad leader, look there is black smoke over there. Is the woods on fire..." On a watchtower of the Northeast Army Heavy Artillery Regiment, a soldier pointed to a few puffs of thick smoke that suddenly rose one kilometer away , exclaimed to the monitor beside him.

However, the squad leader standing beside him, who was puffing, obviously didn't take this matter to heart, and said impatiently: "The weather is so dry now, it is not impossible to catch fire. However, we are the army, Even if this forest is really on fire, it's none of our business, don't meddle in other people's business, the local government will naturally organize people to put out the fire..."

The slightly worried soldier could only shut his mouth aggrieved.However, while guarding the surroundings of the barracks, the soldier's eyes still looked at the position where a few black smoke rose from time to time.

In less than 10 minutes, the woods where only puffs of smoke could be seen just now can already see sparks.More importantly, the range of black smoke covering the woods has expanded to several times that of a few minutes ago.Finally, under the stunned gaze of the soldier, the forest completely enveloped in black smoke finally ignited a raging fire, and more importantly, the raging fire was spreading rapidly and slowly to his location at a speed visible to the naked eye come over.

Seeing this, after glancing at the situation around the artillery regiment, a bad feeling quickly came to the soldier's mind.Facing the squad leader who was still closing his eyes and meditating, he exclaimed again: "Squad leader, there is a situation, there is a situation..."

"The woods are all on fire. If we can't put it out immediately, our artillery regiment will be surrounded by this fire and be burned into black coals..."

In the continuous exclamation of the soldiers.The squad leader, who was breathing heavily, finally opened his eyes and looked in the direction of the soldier's finger.

I don't know if I don't read it.I was shocked when I saw it.The squad leader, who was calm just now, was instantly covered by a complex expression of shock and horror.Subconsciously exclaimed to the subordinates around him: "Bastard, why did you tell me now when such a big thing happened... What are you still doing in a daze, immediately warn the whole regiment. You come here and watch, I will report to the regiment immediately.... "

Soon, the head of the artillery position garrison with the rank of colonel on his shoulders climbed up to the lookout post.

Seeing the fire that had almost expanded to the point where it could not be extinguished, the head of the regiment turned livid, and exclaimed to his subordinates behind him: "If such a big fire cannot be extinguished within half an hour, the entire heavy artillery regiment will die." Will be covered by artillery fire... What are you still doing? Tell all the soldiers of the regiment to immediately form a fire barrier around the artillery regiment's position. No matter what, the fire cannot spread to the heavy artillery position, otherwise we will all be finished... ..”

As soon as the head of the regiment finished speaking, the head of the artillery regiment who arrived later said worriedly: "Captain Wang, the garrison regiment is going to build a fire barrier, so what about the safety of the heavy artillery regiment? If the heavy artillery regiment is attacked at this time , who will ensure safety."

The head of the garrison, who was eager to put out the fire, waved his hand subconsciously, and replied indifferently: "Head Zhang, you are worrying too much. We are around the city of Beiping. If we can be attacked here, then What are the more than 1 brothers of the [-]th Division who stick to Shanhaiguan doing for food? Don’t worry, the artillery regiment will never be attacked. Our urgent delay now is to form a fire zone around the artillery regiment. Otherwise, the entire Before the artillery regiment is attacked by the enemy, the whole army will be destroyed in this fire."

"In addition, such a large fire area, only relying on the strength of a thousand soldiers from the garrison regiment, absolutely cannot complete this fire zone in a short period of time. Therefore, it is best for the artillery regiment to spare 1000 people to put out the fire. Otherwise, the heavy artillery regiment Once the fire spreads, neither of us will end well. Be clear, there are only five heavy artillery regiments in the entire Northeast Army."

Under the threat and instigation of the head of the garrison regiment, the head of the artillery regiment finally let go of his worries, and replied solemnly: "That's it, Commander Wang, I will immediately send 1000 people from the artillery regiment to participate in the firefighting..."

Tongzhou Heavy Artillery Regiment position, the heavy artillery regiment has more than 1000 officers and soldiers, and the garrison regiment has more than 2000 officers and soldiers.After a total of more than 2000 officers and soldiers directly removed 300 people to put out the fire, there were less than 300 people left in Nuoda's heavy artillery regiment.More importantly, all [-] people were artillery, and the various fortifications around the entire artillery regiment became empty.

Such a good opportunity, of course, the more than [-] special forces members who quietly lurked around the heavy artillery regiment would not let it go.

Rush into the heavy artillery position like entering no one's land.....

Three hundred special forces members took care of three hundred artillerymen who had almost no infantry combat ability, which was tantamount to killing a chicken with a bull's knife. In less than 5 minutes, the entire artillery position became a world of three hundred special forces.

"Brothers, start to act immediately and remove all the bolts of the artillery. As long as there are no bolts, these more than 30 heavy cannons will become a pile of scrap iron. Start to act immediately and take all the removed bolts away... ..."

On the road about five kilometers away from Tongzhou City, inside the shaking armored command vehicle.When Chief of Staff Lin Hu frowned and waited for the news, the excited exclamation of a communications soldier finally reached Lin Hu's ears.

"Reporting to the Chief of Staff, urgent telegram from the Special Warfare Brigade: The Special Warfare Brigade has completed its mission, and the Northeast Army Heavy Artillery Regiment will not be able to fire for at least two hours... In addition, the special warfare detachment responsible for cutting off the enemy's phone calls has also successfully completed its mission... .”

Lin Hu's frowning brows instantly relaxed, and he asked loudly to the communication soldier: "What about the radio jamming team, why is there no news yet? As far as I know, among all the tasks, the radio jamming team is the easiest to complete..."

As soon as the voice fell, the voice of another communication soldier rang out: "Chief of Staff, the radio jamming unit sent a telegram... All radio stations have been assumed, and the entire Tongzhou has been covered by radio jamming signals."

"Okay..." Lin Hu quickly flashed an excited smile on his face, and ordered decisively to several communication soldiers.

"All the preparatory work has been completed. The next step is to take Tongzhou and eat all the defenders in Tongzhou City... Order all the troops participating in the war to attack Tongzhou immediately. At the same time, tell the attacking troops that during the battle, they can kill without artillery. Instead of artillery, use vehicle-mounted machine guns and machine guns to solve the problem as much as possible, and force the defenders to surrender to us...."

Because Tongzhou City is close to Beiping.The city is either rich or expensive.In order to avoid causing turmoil in the city, the Northeast Army of a brigade had to be stationed outside the city.so.As long as the National Defense Forces take down the Northeast Army barracks outside the city, Tongzhou, the east gate of Beiping, will fall into the hands of the National Defense Forces.

More than a hundred tanks and armored vehicles under the First Armored Division lined up.A huge encirclement circle was quickly formed around the barracks of the Northeast Army.The encirclement had just been formed, and hundreds of steel monsters were like a pack of wolves pounced on their prey, trying to overwhelm the Northeast Army barracks, shrinking the encirclement step by step.

The barracks of the Northeast Army with thousands of troops has become chaotic at this moment. From the commander of the Northeast Army to the ordinary soldiers, they were all taken aback by the sudden torrent of steel in front of them.

Could it be that the National Defense Forces are all heavenly soldiers and generals? Otherwise, how could so many troops suddenly appear in Tongzhou and around Peiping?This was the first thought of a group of brigade-level officers in the Northeast Army barracks.

subsequently.He ordered the communications troops of the headquarters to ask for help from his superiors, and questioned the [-]th Division stationed in Shanhaiguan...

"Report to the brigade, all our telephone lines to the outside world have lost contact. Not surprisingly, the entire Tongzhou telephone line has been cut off by the enemy..."

"Report to the brigade, the radio station has detected that our surroundings have been covered by a strong radio interference signal. Our radio signal has not been released at all, and we cannot contact the Peking General Headquarters..."

Faced with news of despair one after another, the brigade commander's forehead was already covered with cold sweat.At this moment, a terrified staff officer rushed in.Reported in a trembling tone: "Brigade, the enemy tank troops have rushed one kilometer outside the barracks. If there is no counterattack, these tanks will rush into our barracks..."

"Then why are you still standing there? Immediately contact the Heavy Artillery Regiment and concentrate all the artillery to destroy these heavy artillery..." The brigade commander growled loudly with a tense face.

However, it took less than half a minute for the staff officer to leave.A desperate reply directly shattered the last hope in his heart: "Brigade, the heavy artillery regiment reported. The heavy artillery regiment was suddenly attacked by an unknown armed force 10 minutes ago, and all artillery pieces were destroyed. At least within two hours. The Heavy Artillery Regiment cannot provide us with artillery support..."

"Damn it, what's going on here... Headquarters, the headquarters couldn't be contacted, and the heavy artillery regiment was attacked again. Is God going to let the brothers use their flesh and blood to resist these tanks?" Desperate The Brigadier growled loudly.

At this moment, the deputy brigade commander opened his mouth to analyze: "Brigade, if the National Defense Force can cut off all our connections with the outside world, then the National Defense Force can cut off the connection between Shanhaiguan and us. If there is no accident, Shanhaiguan has already been blocked by the people in front of us." The national defense force broke through. Not only Shanhaiguan, but several regiment-level checkpoints we deployed on the front line of Shanhaiguan were all quietly removed by the national defense force...."

The brigade commander looked desperate and frowned and asked in a deep voice: "Then what about us, are we also quietly wiped out here by the National Defense Forces... No, we are the Northeast Army. An early warning from the General Command of the Northeast Army..."

After finishing speaking, the brigade commander who had seen half a hundred people quickly exuded a fierce murderous aura, and ordered decisively to the subordinates in front of him: "All the troops that have entered the position will immediately counterattack. No matter what method is used, we must block the National Defense Army tanks. In addition , ordered the cavalry company directly under the brigade headquarters to carry out a camera breakout, as long as the breakout is successful, immediately send the news of our attack and the fall of Shanhaiguan to Beiping City, and ask Beiping City to support us..."

The brigade commander is very determined, but without any heavy firepower for support, this kind of thinking is obviously very ridiculous and naive.Because the dense bullets fired by the Northeast Army seemed to be itching, except for the stars and sparks on the tank's protective armor, there was not even a dent visible to the naked eye.

Therefore, hundreds of steel monsters still took their invulnerability to the body, and approached the Northeast Army barracks step by step against the bullets fired by the Northeast Army.Soon, the distance between the two armies was shortened to 300 meters.However, during the entire advancing process of the Wehrmacht, hundreds of truck-mounted machine guns and cannons did not fire any bullets from beginning to end.

Just when thousands of soldiers of the Northeast Army were still leaning forward with bullets at their fastest rate of fire, an accident happened. A huge white flag suddenly rose behind a tank and caught the eyes of everyone on the battlefield.

"What's going on? Why did the National Defense Forces raise the white flag? They can drive tanks directly into our barracks and defeat us..." A company commander of the Northeast Army with the rank of captain on his shoulders said to himself in a puzzled expression. .

The voice just fell.The battalion commander who hurried over gave an order: "Don't worry about him, order the brothers to stop shooting. Anyway, shooting with rifles and machine guns won't do anything. First, let's see what conspiracy the National Defense Forces have. Report the situation to the traveler. Let the traveler make a ruling..."

Just as the brigade commander of the Northeast Army rushed to the position, an officer who also carried the rank of captain on his shoulders and wore the uniform of the Northeast Army held a white flag and slowly flashed out from behind the tank.After raising his hands to indicate that he was not carrying any weapons, he walked slowly towards the barracks of the Northeast Army while aiming at hundreds of thousands of rifles at the same time...

Soon, the officer was standing in front of the Colonel and Brigadier.

After paying a military salute to the brigade commander, he reported loudly: "Report, sir. I was ordered to bring a letter to you and the officers above the company level of the entire brigade..."

The brigade commander didn't accept the envelope handed over by the captain, but asked loudly to the captain officer in front of him: "You said you belonged to the [-]th Division, what happened to the [-]th Division, why can't we contact you? Also, What happened to the National Defense Forces that appeared here, when did the Shanhaiguan defense line be breached by the National Defense Forces..."

The captain officer replied: "Report sir, all the officers and soldiers of our [-]th Division have risen on the battlefield in the early morning of this morning and have all joined the National Defense Forces. Therefore, the humble post is now considered a captain officer of the National Defense Forces, but it has not been officially appointed. This It is a letter from the chief of the National Defense Forces, which is related to the lives of thousands of soldiers in the whole brigade, please consider it carefully, sir."

The brigade commander waved his hand directly.Facing the captain in front of him, he scolded loudly with righteous words: "Traitor, what can the Northeast Army do to the [-]th Division? The [-]th Division actually mutinied on the battlefield. Are you worthy of the Northeast Army... This letter must be from the National Defense Forces I don’t know how to read the persuasion letter. My life was saved by the old man. When I joined the Northeast Army, I swore an oath: I will be born as a member of the Northeast Army, and I will die as a ghost of the Northeast Army. Therefore, I want me to It is absolutely impossible to lead the troops to surrender..."

The captain officer did not refute, but answered with sarcasm under the watchful eyes of all the officers: "Sir, what I want to tell you is that the more than 1 soldiers of our 10,000th Division did not betray the Northeast Army, but were saving the Northeast Army." [-]+ soldiers... In addition, we are all from the Northeast, we just want to go back to the Northeast to reunite with our families, and we don't want to live a life under the fence..."

After finishing speaking, the captain officer changed his subject directly, and said with a serious face: "Since the officer doesn't want to read this letter, I will bring you a few words from the officer of the National Defense Forces. I hope everyone will consider it carefully: the officer of the National Defense Forces said Give everyone 10 minutes to think about it. If you cannot surrender to the National Defense Forces within 10 minutes, after the battle, all officers above the company level in the barracks will be shot, and your family members in the three northeastern provinces will also be implicated..."

"You dare to threaten me... I'm going to kill you, I'm going to kill you now..." Hearing this murderous threat, a regiment leader directly took out his pistol and yelled at the captain officer.

"Stop, put away your guns..." Facing the threat of hundreds of lives of the National Defense Forces, he faced the longing eyes of his subordinates.The Colonel Brigadier had no choice but to stop his angry subordinates, and ordered loudly.

After the situation at the headquarters leveled off, the brigade commander, who also exuded a strong murderous aura, quickly turned his attention to the captain officer in front of him, and asked loudly: "Brother, don't you think the National Defense Forces have gone too far? It’s a military matter, so why involve your family members.”

The captain, whose expression did not change at all, replied: "Of course it has something to do... If the officers and men continue to resist, your army will definitely suffer heavy losses. By then, thousands of families in the Northeast will lose their loved ones. Could it be The happiness and thousands of lives of thousands of families are not worth your dozens of lives and dozens of families... I have finished my words, if you want to kill, you have to do whatever you want, but I want to warn everyone Yes, the time left for everyone by the National Defense Forces is only the last 8 minutes. If you don’t see your army raising the white flag after 8 minutes, the hundreds of tanks surrounding your army’s garrison will open fire at the same time, and the entire barracks will be wiped out. For the flat ground...."

Faced with the naked threat of the National Defense Forces full of murderous intent, not only the ordinary battalion and company level officers, but also the colonel and brigadier who just vowed to live and die with the Northeast Army, also showed worries and panic on the face of this.

As an orphan, the Colonel Brigadier is not afraid of death.However, just because he is not afraid of death does not mean that he is not worried about his family.You must know that the Northeast has now become the world of the National Defense Forces. Once he does not cooperate with the National Defense Forces, the brigade commander can't imagine what threats his family will be under the rule of the National Defense Forces.

After a short period of contemplation, the Colonel and Brigadier asked again with the last glimmer of hope: "Could it be that the National Defense Forces are not afraid of the condemnation of the world. You must know that it is the Republic of China, not the Manchu Qing Dynasty. …”

Facing the eyes of the brigade commander, the captain replied calmly: "It is true that the National Defense Forces will not take direct action against your family members. But, everyone, don't forget that the Northeast is currently undergoing large-scale immigration. The Northeast government can completely emigrate your family members to the barren land. The Far East and Outer Mongolia... You are all from the Northeast, you should know what kind of living environment the Far East and Outer Mongolia are like, and whether your family members who are used to the life of the rich can adapt to the harsh environment in the Far East...."

At this time, before the brigade commander could speak, a colonel head had already said: "I surrender, I will immediately order the troops to surrender to your army, I hope the National Defense Forces will not embarrass my family..."

With the first, there will be the second. Under the naked threat of the Wehrmacht, the brigade commander who still has not made up his mind will soon become a lonely man.In the end, under the threat of murderous gazes from all his subordinates, he had no choice but to give the order to surrender helplessly.
