Rebirth of the Republic of China: The Rise of China

Sun Lianzhong's anger

When the 023 Division of the National Defense Forces took over Yuncheng and Linfen from the Red Army without firing a single shot.After two days of hard marching, Sun Lianzhong's troops finally arrived at Niangziguan.

However, seeing the darkening sky, especially after learning that the escort air force was about to return, Sun Lianzhong had to order the troops to withdraw and set up camp.Wait until dawn the next day before officially launching an attack on Niangziguan in front of you. Under the cover of the air force, break through Niangziguan in one go.

Although Sun Lianzhong had a good idea, Zhao Chengshou, the commander-in-chief of Niangziguan's garrison who was ready to fight to the death, planned to give Sun Lianzhong a head-on blow tonight.Not only to kill the vital forces of the National Defense Forces as much as possible, but also to improve the morale of the subordinates.

Niangziguan had just passed the reinforced city wall, and the commander-in-chief of the Jinsui Army, Zhao Chengshou, was holding up his binoculars, watching the National Defense Army who was slowly retreating in front of Niangziguan without moving.It wasn't until the tens of thousands of national defense troops disappeared from his sight that he said to himself: "Sun Lianzhong is worthy of being a battle-tested veteran. When he is strong and the enemy is weak, he is so cautious in camping at night."

"Retreat ten kilometers directly, which is completely outside the range of the heavy artillery we deployed at Niangziguan. However, this Sun Lianzhong seems to have forgotten one thing. Our Jinsui Army is far more familiar with Niangziguan than his National Defense Army. We are completely You can send the heavy artillery placed on Niangziguan to within their firing range, and use the artillery to give them a blow."

After finishing speaking, Zhao Chengshou's eyes quickly shifted to a division commander behind him, and he ordered: "Master Wang, you immediately arrange a reconnaissance company. Follow behind the National Defense Army and find out the location of the National Defense Army barracks and the security situation of the barracks. Come back immediately after the investigation is clear. Report. The entire investigation operation must be completed before twelve o'clock, leaving enough time for our possible night raids at night. Remember..."

"Yes, commander in chief..."

Finally, they had their own opportunity to fight back, which was undoubtedly a great encouragement to the Jinsui Army, which had lost thousands of troops at the hands of the National Defense Forces in two consecutive days of attacks. [

Under the anxious waiting of all the senior generals of the Jinsui Army, the reconnaissance company that went out for reconnaissance finally brought back the good news that everyone couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief...

"The [-] National Defense Forces are stationed on a flat land ten kilometers away from Niangziguan. The cordon around the National Defense Forces station has been put one kilometer away from the station, and we are very vigilant. However, as long as we do not enter the National Defense Forces within one kilometer of the National Defense Forces station, the National Defense Forces won't notice."

"Map. Let's find a few more ladies and officers from the local area..." Commander Zhao Chengshou ordered excitedly after listening to the report.

Soon, a large-scale map of northern Shanxi was unfolded in front of everyone.At the same time, several low-level military officers who were very familiar with the terrain around Niangziguan were also found by Zhao Chengshou.After comparing the search results with the map, Zhao Chengshou quickly shifted his gaze to several low-level officers, and asked expectantly.

"Several brothers, this is the garrison of the National Defense Forces. I want to know, centered on the garrison of the National Defense Forces. In all areas within a radius of five kilometers, are there any artillery positions suitable for mounting artillery? Of course, there is another prerequisite for this artillery position , that is, our artillery can be transported from Niangziguan to here... If the brothers can find such a place, I will make my own decision, promote everyone to the rank of lieutenant colonel, and reward Dayang with 1000 yuan at one time..."

Such a huge temptation is absolutely false.As soon as Zhao Chengshou finished speaking, expressions of greed from the heart appeared on the faces of several people.And quickly fell into thinking.Soon, a captain showed a hesitant expression on his face.

Zhao Chengshou, who had been watching the faces of several people, his eyes lit up.Quickly asked: "Captain, have you already thought about it?"

The captain officer nodded first, then shook his head, and then said under the gaze of Zhao Chengshou: "Reporting sir, I really think of a place. However, this place is not within five kilometers from the National Defense Forces station. , a full six kilometers away, and there is a mountain in the middle..."

After glancing at the other people who were still frowning, Zhao Chengshou, who held the attitude of "a dead horse as a living horse doctor", asked directly: "Where is it, point it out on the map immediately..."

After finishing speaking, he ordered directly to everyone in the headquarters: "Get two artillery staff officers over here immediately, hurry up..."

Maybe he knew that the heavy artillery regiment he commanded would be the protagonist in tonight's night attack. As soon as Zhao Chengshou's order was issued, the head of the heavy artillery regiment who had been guarding the entrance of the command department walked in.

Zhao Chengshou, who was eager to know whether his plan could be carried out, also ignored the greetings with the head of the heavy artillery regiment, and pointed to the map and asked: "Old Wang, you are the most senior artillery officer in our Jinsui Army. If we put the cannon on the Here, can the guns fired cross these mountain ridges and smash into the National Defense Army barracks..."

The head of the heavy artillery regiment was not pretentious, and started measuring on the map directly from taking a ruler.

Two minutes later, a confident expression finally appeared on the face of the head of the heavy artillery regiment.Seeing this, the worried expression on Zhao Chengshou's face quickly disappeared, and he asked excitedly: "Old Wang, is this position feasible..."

Shen Sheng, the head of the heavy artillery regiment, replied: "With the large-caliber heavy artillery and 75mm field artillery with a range of more than seven kilometers, there is absolutely no problem in firing the artillery into the National Defense Army barracks. However, the mountain artillery equipped by our regiments has a limited range. I can't participate in this night attack..."[

The excited Zhao Chengshou said nonchalantly: "If you participate in the mountain artillery method, you can participate in it... Two heavy artillery regiments and two field artillery battalions, a total of more than one hundred artillery pieces, are enough to feed the National Defense Forces with a pot of water..."

Having said that, the confident Zhao Chengshou did not hesitate at all, and decisively ordered: "Now I order that two heavy artillery regiments and two divisions belong to the mountain artillery battalion. From now on, we will temporarily form an artillery group. As the commander-in-chief, set off immediately, rush here to deploy artillery positions, and bombard the Wehrmacht barracks."

"In order to facilitate the transfer of artillery, the Niangziguan garrison regiment, calm down the garrison regiment. Yangquan garrison regiment, all at your disposal. Be sure to send all the artillery to the designated location on time, and withdraw all artillery to Shanhaiguan for concealment before dawn. To ensure the safety of the artillery, the entire artillery attack time is only 10 minutes, how many cannons can be fired in 10 minutes, and how many new cannons need to be carried are all up to you to decide..."

"Start the action now, the specific shelling time is set at three o'clock in the morning..."

With the noise of mules and horses neighing in Niangziguan, the heavy artillery regiment that had just arrived at Niangziguan was originally stationed at Niangziguan, and the two divisions belonged to the field artillery battalion.A total of more than one hundred artillery pieces of various calibers slowly left Niangziguan under the push of thousands of Jinsui soldiers, and then walked towards the target position under the leadership of several local Jinsui soldiers.

After a two-hour long trek, a piece of flat land with a radius of one or two square kilometers suddenly appeared in the middle of the mountains and hills that are everywhere in northern Shanxi, which made people's vision wide open.

Before the thousands of Jinsui troops had time to take a breath, a military order had been issued from the mouth of the heavy artillery regiment: "Brothers, work harder, and deploy all the artillery within an hour. The target, The station of the National Defense Forces. Start preparations immediately. After completing this shelling mission, no one will reward Dayang with 20 yuan for all the officers and soldiers involved in this operation..."

Under the temptation of Baihuahuayang, the artillery position with hundreds of artillery pieces was unexpectedly deployed within an hour.I saw that they were arranged in six rows in front of me.There are more than one hundred artillery pieces that are raising their black hole muzzles.The head of the heavy artillery regiment couldn't help showing a yearning expression on his face, because he was sure that after tonight's night attack.His deeds will definitely be publicized throughout the Jinsui Army.At that time, what awaits him is nothing but white flowers and ocean rewards.There are also the military ranks and military promotion orders that I am most looking forward to.

After looking at the watch he was wearing on his arm, the corner of the leader's mouth twitched.He ordered to the subordinates around him: "Order all the gunners to be in position and prepare for shelling-... Once the order to fire the guns is given, the gunners must use their fastest speed to shoot all the guns they carry..."

"Yes, group seats..."

Seeing the gunners who were almost shirtless rushing up to the gun positions closest to him, with the assistance of his assistant, he stuffed a cannon weighing tens of kilograms into the barrel, closed the bolt, and pulled With the cannon rope, retreat to the position five meters behind the cannon and get ready to fire.

At this moment, the head of the heavy artillery regiment focused his eyes on the watch on his wrist and remained motionless.Suddenly, a fiery smile flashed across the face of the head of the regiment, and before his subordinates could react, a murderous order had already blurted out from the mouth of the head of the heavy artillery regiment.

"Fire the cannons...Fire all the cannons for me..."

"Fire, fire immediately..." As soon as the commander gave the order, the sound of various orders to fire spread across the battlefield.

Then, a burst of dense roar sounded from the artillery position in front of them, shaking everyone's ears with tinnitus.

Under everyone's gaze, the more than 100 cannons fired in the first round were like more than [-] meteors with a faint tail flame, and quickly spewed out from the barrel.Then, it flew into the sky with a sharp and ear-piercing whistling sound, and disappeared from everyone's sight.

Although the specific results of this round of artillery are still unclear, the shirtless gunner was not as dazed as the recruits.Instead, he quickly rushed to the gun position, opened the breech bolt, and unloaded it... With the help of his assistant, he reloaded and closed the breech bolt...

In less than ten seconds, another series of different roars sounded from the artillery position in front of him.Subsequently, a new round of more than 100 cannons still flew into the sky with a sharp whistling sound, and disappeared from everyone's sight.

And at this moment, after a few seconds of flying, the first round of artillery finally came over the Wehrmacht barracks.

Facing the whistling sound of cannons above their heads, the sleeping soldiers had just been awakened, and before they had time to react, the violent and earth-shaking explosion had already reached everyone's ears.The lucky soldiers just felt a wave of scorching air rushing towards them.As for those soldiers who were unlucky or were directly hit by the cannon, they turned into corpses without even reaction time, or were directly torn to pieces by the cannon.

Although the marching tent where Sun Lianzhong, the commander of the Second Army, was not directly hit by the cannon, a cannon that exploded at close range was used to knock down the general's tent with air waves in the first place.

After finally getting out of the tent under the rescue of the guards, what caught Sun Lianzhong's eyes was the soldiers running around in the barracks under the reflection of the fireballs, except for the huge fireballs that continued to erupt.

"Yan Xishan, the dog day. I, Sun Lianzhong, have been so vigilant, and I haven't escaped your night attack..." Sun Lianzhong, whose face was flushed with anger, couldn't help but curse loudly.

subsequently.He ordered to the several staff officers who rushed over to him: "What are you doing here? The patrol team and the guard post did not fire warning shots. It means that only the Jinsui Army artillery unit participated in the night attack. Immediately notify all units and quickly Gather the troops and evacuate the barracks. As long as we leave the barracks, the artillery of the Jinsui Army will not hit us. Hurry up and give orders. If the wires cannot be contacted, send someone to contact us. We must withdraw from the barracks as soon as possible..."

Seeing the subordinates who left in a hurry, and seeing dozens of guards still gathering around him, they were afraid that they would be attacked again.Anxious Sun Lianzhong continued to order: "What are you guys doing here? The barracks is so big. How many people can a few staff officers contact? Leave a guard squad, and I will disperse the rest. All the officers who arrived, said that it was my order, and immediately gathered the troops and withdrew from the barracks, and quickly..."

Seeing Sun Lianzhong looking at him full of eyes, the guard company commander who was about to say something closed his mouth directly, and ordered loudly to his subordinates: "What are you still doing in a daze, the guard squad directly under the company department stays to protect Commander, the rest of the people immediately dispersed to inform the barracks, hurry up..."

A unit with a good communication system has great advantages no matter what it does.

When a high-power radio station in the military department was turned on and tuned to the public channel of the whole army.Except for a few infantry battalions that happened to be within the range of artillery fire, most of the walkie-talkies that had been equipped to the infantry companies immediately received the latest combat order to 'organize troops to withdraw from the barracks immediately'.

As for the several infantry battalions that happened to be within the coverage of the artillery fire of the Jinsui Army, they could only rely on the communication soldiers to deliver this order by the most primitive means.

When Sun Lianzhong completely evacuated the barracks under the protection of the guard squad.More than [-]% of the troops of the whole army have been successfully withdrawn.Seeing the area in the middle of the barracks that was completely covered by artillery fire, Sun Lianzhong was sure.The loss tonight must not be small.

Just as Sun Lianzhong looked at the barracks with a livid face and was lost in thought, Chief of Staff Zhou Yunliang, who was full of gunpowder, finally came over.Before Sun Lianzhong could speak, he spoke a step ahead with righteous indignation on his face, "Mr. Zuo, although the losses caused by the Jinsui army's shelling have not yet been counted, they will definitely not be small. My idea is that for Jinsui army tonight We must retaliate against the actions of the Sui Army. Find the heavy artillery unit of the Jinsui Army and destroy it. Only in this way can we avoid being attacked by the artillery fire of the Jinsui Army again in the future night camp."

Sun Lianzhong nodded and replied: "You are right. Before the artillery and tank units of our army arrive at the battlefield, if the artillery units of the Jinsui Army are not dealt with, the soldiers will not be able to rest at night. If they do not rest at night, they will not be able to rest during the day." It is a series of vicious circles to attack Niangziguan with all our strength. Therefore, the immediate delay is to deal with the artillery units of the Jinsui Army."

After finishing speaking, a strong murderous aura emanated from Sun Lianzhong, and said to Zhou Yunliang: "The Jinsui army is not as rich as our national defense army, and the artillery unit must be their focus to protect them. It is our special forces who want to destroy It also has to pay a high price. Therefore, in my opinion, the best way to destroy the artillery unit of the Jinsui Army is different from calling the air force to bomb, taking advantage of the shortcoming that the Jinsui Army does not have an air force, and directly destroying it from the air..."

Seeing that Zhou Yunliang nodded in approval, Sun Lianzhong changed the subject and continued: "However, there must be a prerequisite before that. Find the artillery unit of the Jinsui Army and guide the air bombers to attack the artillery unit of the Jinsui Army through the radio. Bomb it with precision and destroy it completely..."

As soon as the words fell, the captain of the special operations brigade directly under the military headquarters who lost five special operations members due to the sudden artillery attack suddenly said: "Army seat, it is very appropriate to entrust the special operations brigade to complete this task. Jin Jin In the Sui Army's attack just now, five members of the Special Operations Brigade also died. In any case, I will avenge the sacrificed members and destroy the Jinsui Army Artillery Unit. Please issue an order from the military seat. All members of the Special Operations Brigade are ready Ready to attack."

Why not do it when someone asks for a battle, besides, the first thought in Sun Lianzhong's mind is also the special warfare brigade directly under the military department.Because, looking at the [-] troops under their command, only they can quietly pass through the Niangzi Pass in front of them, and find the artillery unit that attacked them behind the Jinsui Army.

Without the slightest hesitation, he decisively ordered: "Okay, Captain Li, this task will be handed over to the special warfare team. I hope the special warfare team can complete this task before dark tomorrow. In addition, when the special warfare team is performing this task, It is also necessary to divide a squadron to guide the bombing target for the air force that will attack Niangziguan tomorrow."

"Please rest assured, Commander. The Special Warfare Brigade promises to complete the task. The first squadron is responsible for staying behind and cooperating with the main force to attack Niangziguan. I will personally command the remaining two squadrons to find and destroy the artillery units of the Jinsui Army." The captain looked confident. guaranteed.

Seeing the captain of the Special Warfare Brigade leaving quickly, Sun Lianzhong looked relaxed and said to Zhou Yunliang: "Old Zhou, the artillery of the Jinsui Army will be handed over to the Special Warfare Brigade. I believe in the Special Warfare Brigade. As for us, It is already four o'clock in the morning, and there is no need to rest. The troops are ordered to count the losses immediately, and the logistics troops quickly make breakfast. This morning, we will let the Jinsui Army closed by the lady have a taste of the wrath of our National Defense Forces." (Unfinished to be continued...)
