Rebirth of the Republic of China: The Rise of China

The deafening roar of aircraft sounded over the battlefield, and a bomber regiment escorted by more than 30 fighters, like a black cloud, rushed towards the battlefield mightily.

Afterwards, huge aerial bombs fell from the sky, hitting the ground with a whistling sound and exploding.

However, what is surprising is that the aerial bomb that fell from the sky did not make the violent explosion sound as imagined.The black aerial bomb landed on the ground, and a series of 'bang bang bang...' sounded like a cracked crock pot, and then sounded on the battlefield.

There is no black smoke rising from the ground, and no huge fireball rising into the sky.A large amount of liquid burning material produced by the explosion of the bomb directly splashed around like a goddess scattering flowers.At the same time, these splashed liquid combustion materials burned rapidly under the action of high temperature.

At the beginning, the blazing flames were only scattered across the battlefield.However, as more and more napalm bombs hit the ground and exploded, the scattered flames gradually spread to the surroundings, forming patches of fire fields with larger and larger coverage areas.

When more than 30 bombers finished dropping a round of bombs, the entire position was covered by raging fire.However, the old Maozi bomber that had been cruising over the battlefield did not leave because of this. Whenever it found that the fire was weakening, it would immediately drop a napalm bomb to keep the raging fire burning on the position.

When the Ninth Army headquarters first heard that the Soviet offensive troops used napalm bombs to attack the abandoned positions, Army Commander Luo Zhang didn't take it seriously.In Luo Zhang's eyes, the reason why the Soviet army used napalm must be that they had no choice but to use it when they had no choice but to use their positions.

certainly.Another important reason for the so-called carelessness is that they are very confident in the positions they have built.To know.Underneath the surface position that has become a sea of ​​flames, he not only built a large number of hiding caves for hiding soldiers and anti-cannons.A large number of tunnel fortifications were also built.The tunnel fortification is an important tactical tactic that the commander-in-chief Li Guosheng once mentioned in the training of officers above the regiment level at the National Defense University, specifically to prevent the enemy from using napalm bombs to attack.

As soon as the raging fire on the surface of the position is extinguished, the troops concealed in the tunnel fortifications can drill out of the tunnel like gophers, and deal a fatal blow to the Soviet offensive troops on the charred surface position.

However, as time passed, the raging fire burning on the surface of the position still had no intention of being extinguished under the influence of the Soviet Air Force's continuous throwing of napalm bombs, and the expression on the face of Army Commander Luo Zhang gradually became dignified. .

Although I still don't know what I am worried about, but.Luo Zhang, who has a keen sense of smell, has gradually felt that the upcoming attack by the Soviet army must be different from the past.

Sure enough, just as Luo Zhang raised his binoculars to search for something in the position again, a slightly panicked report directly reached Luo Zhang's ears.

"Report to the military seat, report from the forward troops, the Soviet Red Army has begun to attack..."

"What... the enemy's aerial bombardment is not over yet, how could it be possible to launch an attack? Isn't the old man afraid of accidentally injuring his own people..." As soon as the report sounded, the chief of staff exclaimed in disbelief from the headquarters.

At this point.Luo Zhang finally knew what he was worried about...

After a long sigh, he analyzed to the chief of staff: "Chief of staff, if the old Maozi air force dropped the sloppy aerial bomb, it may indeed accidentally injure the attacking troops. But, don't forget. What the old Maozi air force dropped was not Ordinary aviation bombs, but napalm bombs.

"You know, the fire field formed by a napalm bomb on the surface of our position can last at least five to 10 minutes. Think about it. During these five to 10 minutes, what can we and the old Maozi's attacking force do?"

The chief of staff's shocked expression immediately turned serious.Shen Sheng replied: "As long as the fire on the surface of the position is not extinguished, the soldiers hiding in the tunnel will not be able to come out to fight. As for the old man, he can completely push the battle line to the edge of the fire field under the cover of tanks..."

"Let me take a look... Not good, military seat, once the old Maozi tank troops are pushed to the edge of the fire field, there will be less than 30 meters away from the edge of our position. At a distance of 30 meters, the old Maozi tanks can charge in one charge When it comes to our position, even if the soldiers rushed to the position in the shortest time to block the old man, it is impossible to destroy all the old man's tanks in just a few seconds and block the old man's offensive..."

Luo Zhang, whose face was also becoming more and more solemn, said in a heavy tone: "Chief of Staff, this is what I am worried about. If Lao Maozi only dispatched infantry to attack, it would be a big deal for us to fight close combat with Lao Maozi's attacking troops and fight for consumption. However, Lao Maozi Maozi dispatched a large number of tanks to attack us."

"At that time, as long as the old Maozi tanks rush to our position, no, as long as these tanks approach our position, the soldiers of our army who keep pouring out of the tunnel fortifications will become the massacre targets of the old Maozi tanks, and there is no room for fighting back."

If the situation is really as bad as Commander Luo Zhang said, then the first line carefully arranged by the Ninth Army not only failed to hold on for half a day, but also caught up with a field infantry regiment who was hiding in the tunnel fortifications at this moment. Obviously, the chief of staff and others could not accept it.

As soon as Luo Zhang's heavy voice fell, the chief of staff asked back with horror: "Sir, what should we do next? Are we just watching the 095 regiment be wiped out under the attack of the old Maozi tank? Seeing that the first line of defense was broken by the old man. You know, the task given to us by the chief is to persist for three days, and the first line of defense is lost in less than a day, so how will we fight the next battle..."

After shaking his head helplessly, Luo Zhang quickly fell into deep thought.

Just when the second report from the front: "Soviet offensive troops have approached the position less than 500 meters" reached Luo Zhang's ears again.A trace of fierce murderous intent quickly emanated from Luo Zhang, and he said firmly.

"Judging from the current situation, continuing to allow the 095 regiment to hold its position from the front is tantamount to nonsense."

Seeing the army commander who still didn't say anything in front of him.The commander of the 092 division, who couldn't bear to see his field infantry regiment wiped out, suggested in a panic: "Sir, if it doesn't work, let's use the artillery. Use the artillery to temporarily block the old Maozi's tank attack and buy time for the 095 regiment. 5 minutes .No, 2 minutes, as long as the artillery can buy 095 minutes for the brothers of the 2 regiment, the 095 regiment can rush out of the underground tunnel and block the old Maozi's offensive on the surface. "

In the absence of a solution, this idea is undoubtedly the only solution at present.

However, as the leader of an army, as the highest commander on the battlefield in Outer Mongolia, Luo Zhang would never give up all the cards in his hand for the sake of an infantry regiment.

To know.This is the first day of blocking. If you exhaust all the limited heavy artillery on the first day and use up all your cards, how will you fight for the next two days?

Therefore, under the expectant eyes of all his subordinates, Luo Zhang shook his head decisively.Then, he refused to his subordinates: "The artillery can no longer move. Today we have lost a heavy artillery battalion, and there must be no more losses. Otherwise, the next blocking battle will really be impossible..."

Just when everyone's faces were slowly expressing despair because of his own answer, Luo Zhang suddenly changed his subject and continued to speak: "However, we have no other options except to use heavy artillery in advance..."

"Junzuo, what can I do... as long as I can rescue thousands of brothers from the 095 Regiment... No, I'm not talking about rescuing all the thousands of soldiers from the 095 Regiment. As long as I can save a few hundred people, the 095 Regiment can leave a little seed. Even if I personally lead the team to fight hand-to-hand with Lao Maozi's tank troops, I would be willing..." the commander of the 092 division asked eagerly.

Luo Zhang shook his head and replied: "The method I mentioned does mean hand-to-hand combat, but this hand-to-hand combat is not for you, but for thousands of soldiers of the 095 regiment lurking in the tunnel offensive..."

"Since we can't block the Lao Maozi's attack from the front, let's give Lao Maozi a butt switch from behind the Lao Maozi's attacking troops. You know, the weak point of the Lao Maozi's tank is behind the rear, so we can attack from the Lao Maozi Attacking from behind, the possibility of victory is definitely higher than blocking from the front, and it is also possible to eat the old man's attacking troops in one bite. However, in this way, we have to pay a huge price for the heavy losses of the 095 regiment."

Before the commander of the 092 division could speak, the chief of staff had already affirmed: "This method is possible, although it is a bit of a risky move. However, this is the best way for us to obtain the greatest results with the least casualties and hold the position. Army Sir, I agree with this idea, and I will immediately contact the 095 regiment to convey our thoughts."

While speaking, the chief of military staff planned to walk to the telephone next to him.However, Army Commander Luo Zhang suddenly said: "No, this order is tantamount to pushing the 095 Regiment to the road of death. I personally issue such an order. Even if the soldiers have complaints, they will only blame me... .”

As time passed by every minute and every second, the fire that shrouded the battlefield finally showed signs of starting to go out.At this time, more than 30 tanks were in charge of covering, and more than 2000 infantry were in charge of the follow-up Lao Maozi's offensive force. As the chief of staff had estimated, the offensive front was successfully advanced to a distance of less than 30 meters from the position.

Just when there were only a few sparks left on the scorched surface position, thousands of old Maozi's attacking troops seemed not to feel the hot air waves still radiating from the surface of the position, pressing towards the position with a roar. Come.

25 meters, 20 meters, ten meters...

Amidst the deafening gunfire, Lao Maozi's attacking troops quickly rushed to the blocking position of the National Defense Forces without any sign of resistance, as if they were in no one's land.

Although the colonel and head of the Soviet Army who was in charge of directing the entire attack was very puzzled by this situation, it was a fact that he occupied the Wehrmacht position by himself after all.More importantly, the first effort to capture the first-line positions of the National Defense Forces has fallen to himself.

So, excited, he directly ignored all kinds of doubts in his heart, and in order to take the initiative to himself as soon as possible, he directly ordered to the subordinates around him: "Report to the commander immediately, our department has successfully occupied the front line of the National Defense Army after a bloody battle. In order to expand the results of the battle, I have led my troops to continue to go deep into the rear of the Wehrmacht positions, please ask the commander to send troops to reinforce our troops immediately..."

After finishing speaking, he ignored the concerns and objections of his subordinates.After leaving an infantry company to wait for the follow-up troops, he resolutely ordered the troops to be under the cover of tanks.Quickly crossed the front line positions of the National Defense Forces and penetrated deep into the National Defense Forces.

However.What the old Maozi commander didn't expect was that all his actions were seen by an observation post of the 095 regiment. Afterwards, the Soviet offensive troops had already crossed the first line of positions, and the Soviet offensive troops only left an infantry company on the surface. The news reached the ears of the head of the 095 regiment.

"You bastard, you're too arrogant. However, it's good to be arrogant. The more you are the principal, the more chances the thousands of brothers in our 095 regiment will have to survive..." heard the report.The head of the 095 regiment who breathed a sigh of relief couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

Then, under the expectant eyes of his subordinates, he ordered decisively: "Brothers, bring me enough grenades and bullets, beat the old man from behind his ass, and set off..."

"Wuuuuuuuuuuuuuu..." A series of slight whistling sounds resounded on the surface of the position, and grenades emitting white smoke seemed to be free of money, and were quickly thrown out from the entrance of the tunnel by the soldiers.Then, a violent explosion sounded on the surface.

Under the simultaneous attack of hundreds of grenades, there were more than 100 defenseless old men on the surface of the position.They were all blown into minced meat before they even had time to react.

Afterwards, the densely packed National Defense Forces, like gophers, quickly rushed out of the tunnels hidden in the positions one by one.

"The whole regiment has them, and the first battalion stays to stand firm. The second and third battalions, with companies and platoons as units, clear the way with machine guns and grenades. Quickly launch an assault on the old Maozi's attacking troops. Brothers, the time for revenge has come. Give me ruthless Hit hard." A roar full of anger came from the mouth of the regiment leader, and intensive gunfire began to ring out in the front line that Lao Maozi had just occupied.

Facing the sudden attack from the rear.The morale of the Soviet attacking force was clearly not expected.

Under the sweep of hundreds of tongues of flame, the densely packed Soviet offensive troops were like ripe wheat, cut down in pieces and turned into corpses.

Of course, even if the old man reacted and quickly lay down on the ground, avoiding the bullet rain attack from directly behind.However, their series of behaviors were obviously futile on the grassland with no shelter in sight.Hundreds of general-purpose machine guns, submachine guns... After a round of strafing was completed, hundreds of grenades emitting white smoke quickly fell on these old men like rain.

Some grenades exploded after landing, and some grenades exploded directly in the air.

The sound of dense grenade explosions and flying grenade fragments quickly formed a death zone with nowhere to hide in front of the soldiers.As long as the old men in this death zone, no matter how they hide their bodies, they can't avoid the densely packed grenade fragments.

In the blink of an eye, hundreds of thousands of old men were killed and wounded on the battlefield by the attack from behind.

Knowing that his subordinates could not block the steel storm coming from behind with their flesh and blood, the more than 30 Soviet-made heavy tanks that had been rushing to the forefront of the attacking troops responded quickly.Turn the muzzle and prepare to use the vehicle-mounted machine gun and tank gun to destroy the Wehrmacht who dared to attack you behind you.

Although the old Maozi tank began to adjust the direction of the body and turret at the fastest speed, but during the adjustment process, the tank's weakest rear and side armor were undoubtedly exposed to the soldiers.

Just when the colonel of the Soviet Army began to fantasize about the scene of thousands of National Defense Forces being wiped out by more than [-] tanks behind him.Dozens of rockets with orange-red tail flames behind them suddenly appeared in the vision of the colonel of the Soviet army.

As the rocket was getting closer and closer to him, a desperate exclamation subconsciously came out of the colonel's head.

"No, it's a rocket, evade, evade immediately..."

"Boom boom boom..." Before the colonel's exclamation fell, a series of dense and violent explosions sounded on the battlefield.

In just one round of more than 30 rocket attacks, more than half of the medium-sized tanks in a battalion of the Soviet army were turned into scrap iron and ignited a raging fire.

And at the moment when the remaining dozen or so tanks of the Soviet army were evading in a daze, the second round of rockets fired by the Wehrmacht followed closely behind and had the closest contact with them.

The explosion sounded again, and the remaining thousand infantrymen of the Soviet army finally began to panic.

Because they know that, without the cover of the tank, and because they are right inside the National Defense Forces position, there are only two options to choose from, except death and surrender on the battlefield.

Surrender... Impossible.....

Since news spread that hundreds of thousands of Soviet soldiers had been captured in the Sino-Soviet battle a year ago, an angry Stalin began to formulate harsher military laws in the army.All Red Army officers and soldiers who were captured on the battlefield, regardless of their official positions and reasons, and their family members living in the country will be sent to concentration camps for reform through labor.

Therefore, out of fear of military law, these desperate Soviet Red Army did not lay down their weapons.Instead, he yelled Lao Maozi's unique offensive sound, while shooting at the oncoming Wehrmacht, while launching a countercharge.

Gunshots, grenade explosions, and even the sound of soldiers shouting to kill, the sound of bayonet collisions slowly ended.The last soldier of the Soviet army fell heavily under the opponent's bayonet with a face full of unwillingness.Of course, the two infantry battalions of the 095 regiment responsible for launching the counterattack also paid the price of nearly a thousand people for this.
