Rebirth of the Republic of China: The Rise of China

In the Soviet barracks with a radius of tens of kilometers, although the tank troops scattered around the barracks fought fiercely, they continued to pour tons and tons of ammunition on the small groups of sneak attack troops cruising around the barracks.However, the barracks surrounded by thousands of tanks was peaceful.

Lieutenant General McKees, the commander-in-chief of the Soviet forward headquarters, which was closely protected by a whole guard regiment, was suddenly attacked in the barracks, especially when the dense gunfire reached his ears.Carrying the rank of lieutenant general on his shoulders, he did have a trace of worry in his heart, but this worry disappeared after only 5 minutes.

Because, just after the firefight lasted for 5 minutes, a confident report from the tank division was sent to him.

"The squadrons participating in the sneak attack all appeared in small groups and were not equipped with heavy weapons. The tank division has the ability to repel all the raiders and make them pay the bloody price to ensure the safety of the entire barracks. Comrade commander, please rest assured …”

When Lieutenant General McKeess slowly began to adapt to the noisy environment of gunfire and was about to fall asleep again.A string of sharp and hasty whistling shells suddenly reached his ears, waking him up from his dream.

As a lieutenant general who climbed up step by step from a grassroots officer, Lieutenant General McKeess was very familiar with this whistling sound.In the mind of Lieutenant General McKeess, only large-caliber heavy artillery shells could make such a rapid whistling sound.

The tank division's report clearly stated that only a small group of National Defense Forces attacked the barracks. How could a small group of National Defense Forces be equipped with heavy artillery.More importantly, such a dense whistling sound definitely cannot be produced by one or two shells passing through the sky.Instead, dozens of shells streaked across the sky at the same time...

Thinking of this, Lieutenant General McKeess quickly sat up from the camp bed.

Just as he was about to put on his military coat.When rushing to the nearby command post, a series of dull explosions had already reached the ears of Lieutenant General McKees from around the barracks.

"Why are these explosion sounds so familiar..." McKiss, who was putting on his military coat, said to himself.

at this time.The curtain of the tent he was in was suddenly opened, and then the deputy chief of staff on duty rushed in with a face full of horror, and exclaimed loudly at McKeess: "Comrade Commander, something has happened... the National Defense Force, the National Defense Force uses Incendiary bombs launched an attack on our army barracks..."

"Incendiary bomb..." Hearing this word, McKeess couldn't help turning his face aside, and said to himself with a pale face: "It really is an incendiary bomb. I finally know why the sound of the shell explosion is so familiar. It is different from ordinary bombs." The shells are different...."

After finishing speaking, he ordered to the deputy chief of staff in front of him: "Then what are you still doing in a daze? Immediately notify the heavy artillery division to counterattack. We must immediately find and destroy the heavy artillery positions of the National Defense Forces. Otherwise, under the attack of the National Defense Forces incendiary bombs, our losses will be certain. It will be very tragic. Don't forget the huge damage we caused the Wehrmacht to the Wehrmacht with napalm bombs in daylight battles...."

When the sound of the counterattack of the heavy artillery division sounded in the center of the barracks, Lieutenant General McKeess had already hurried into the headquarters, and at the same time.A map marking the positions of Wehrmacht artillery strikes was also thrown in front of McKeess.

"Comrade Commander, according to reports, these three positions were hit by a heavy artillery battalion of the National Defense Forces. Because the National Defense Forces artillery used incendiary bombs, the area under attack has turned into a sea of ​​flames..." Facing the McKees came in a hurry.The chief of staff hurriedly opened his mouth to report.

From the map, a heavy tank regiment was stationed at the three bombardment points without exception.So, McKeess frowned subconsciously and thought: The purpose of the National Defense Forces launching this artillery attack must be to destroy the medium tanks in their hands.because.Judging from the two consecutive days of fighting, the National Defense Forces have no tanks that can fight against their own heavy tanks.

A pair of sharp eyes quickly left the map.Facing the chief of staff, he asked: "Have the three tank regiments that were attacked reported their losses? If nothing else, the purpose of the bombardment by the National Defense Forces is to weaken the strength of our tank troops..."

"Yes..." the chief of staff affirmed.

"The three tank regiments that were attacked lost a total of more than [-] heavy tanks. In addition, the remaining tank units after being attacked have quickly left the shelling area to avoid being attacked by incendiary bombs fired by the artillery of the National Defense Forces..."

"Fortunately, the loss is not too great..." Lieutenant General McKeess said with a look of lingering fear.

Then, he ordered decisively to the chief of staff: "Notify the other tank regiments immediately and quickly enter the combat state. As long as they are attacked by the artillery fire of the National Defense Forces, they will be transferred. We must not give the National Defense Forces any chance to weaken the strength of our tank troops..."

"The last one is to contact the Heavy Artillery Division. I will give him 10 minutes. Within ten minutes, he must find the heavy artillery position of the National Defense Forces and destroy it, smashing the National Defense Forces' plan to weaken the strength of our tank troops..."

In the view of Lieutenant General McKeess, as long as his guess is correct, this arrangement can definitely defeat the National Defense Forces conspiracy at the least cost.However, what he didn't expect was that what he saw and heard was an illusion created by the National Defense Forces.

Just as he sat confidently in the command room waiting for the good news from the front line, a sudden exclamation came from the mouth of the deputy chief of staff.Looking in the direction of the sound, the deputy chief of staff was holding a field telephone microphone, listening to some report with a face full of astonishment.

When the deputy chief of staff put down the telegram, he rushed to Lieutenant General McKees with a face of horror, and reported loudly: "Comrade commander, you are wrong, we are all wrong. The purpose of the National Defense Forces is not to weaken the strength of our tank troops , but to cover their night raids into our army barracks..."

"The tank division defending on the outer front line reported that a mechanical assault team of more than one regiment, under the cover of the National Defense Army's artillery fire, quickly broke through the gap in the defense line opened by the tank division because of the attack, and poured into our army barracks. At present, this A mechanized commando team is using more than [-] tanks to open the way and quickly kill us in the direction..."

After ten seconds of shock, Lieutenant General McKeess woke up from the accident, and asked loudly to the terrified deputy chief of staff in front of him: "Where are our tank divisions? Are the hundreds of heavy tanks assigned to them by the Front Army?" Is it all a display, why not intercept and chase. Eliminate them..."

The deputy chief of staff hurriedly reported: "Report to Comrade Commander, the commander of the tank division reports: The commando sent by the National Defense Forces is all equipped with medium tanks. Even the infantry is carried by armored vehicles and transport vehicles. The speed of our heavy tanks is basically If you can't catch up with them, you can only stare blankly..."

As soon as the words fell, two more terrified reports reached the ears of Lieutenant General McKeess.

"Comrade Commander, the Second Tank Division of the Front Army has reported that the commandos of the National Defense Forces have broken through the outer defense line of our army under the cover of artillery fire and tanks, poured into the barracks, and rushed to the location of the barracks central command..."

"Report to the commander, report from the [-]rd Tank Division. The commando of the National Defense Forces has suddenly launched an attack on our army barracks. It has already broken into the barracks and rushed to the headquarters. Please transfer the headquarters immediately to avoid the edge..."

Just when everyone's faces were covered with complex expressions such as panic and fear, Lieutenant General McKees, who was born at the grassroots level, calmed down instead, and sternly ordered to his overwhelmed subordinates: "What are you still doing, Chief of Staff, Immediately mark the enemy's attack direction on the map... Comrade Political Commissar. Immediately organize the relevant comrades in the headquarters to transfer. In such a chaotic situation, the headquarters must not be attacked, otherwise. Completely buried here...."

Under the stern orders of Lieutenant General McKeess, the tense headquarters finally started to operate again.At the same time, the chief of staff sent McKeess a map marking the attack directions of the three commandos of the Wehrmacht.

After a short recall of the arrangement of the barracks tonight.McKeess quickly shifted his gaze to the map in front of him, and analyzed to the chief of staff: "Our barracks are tight on the outside and loose on the inside. The heavy tanks that can pose a threat to the tanks of the National Defense Forces are all arranged on the periphery of the barracks, plus the commandos of the National Defense Forces The speed advantage. These heavy tanks are temporarily unreliable..."

"Our opponent, the National Defense Forces, obviously knew about our deployment, so they boldly ordered the commandos to flood into the barracks. Without any threat, they used the powerful mobility and firepower of tanks and armored vehicles to kill and injure the vital forces of our army."

The pale-faced Chief of Staff asked subconsciously: "Then, Comrade Commander, are we left with the fate of being beaten passively and being massacred by the commandos of the Wehrmacht..."

"No, we still have a chance..." Lieutenant General McKeess replied affirmatively, and at the same time, a strong murderous aura was emitted from his whole body.

Then, he ordered to the chief of staff who was already panicking in front of him: "Contact all combat troops that can be contacted immediately, and quickly transfer to the tank division garrison around the barracks. As long as they transfer to the tank division garrison, the Wehrmacht commando can't do anything about it." us."

"Not only that, after the ordinary infantry is transferred to the tank division station, the battle situation will develop in a direction favorable to us. Because the National Defense Forces that broke into our army barracks have become a turtle in a urn, and we want to eat it as we like."

"As for the artillery, Comrade Commander, do you want to notify the artillery to retreat together..." the chief of staff asked rhetorically.

"No..." Lieutenant General McKeess shook his head affirmatively and replied.

"Let's not talk about whether the artillery unit can withdraw from the position with artillery in a short time after receiving the order and transfer to the tank division station. Do you think the Wehrmacht assault unit has the guts to attack our army after learning that they are surrounded by us?" Will the artillery positions continue to launch attacks? Unless these National Defense Forces have taken a mortal attitude and are not afraid of being destroyed by our air force after dawn."

"Besides, artillery is not ordinary infantry, and the hundreds of heavy artillery they are equipped with are not decorations. If the commando of the National Defense Forces is really not afraid of death to attack the artillery position, the salvo of hundreds of artillery is completely likely to cause a fatal blow to the commando of the National Defense Forces .Okay, let’s pass on the order right away, be quick, the faster the time is, the less our losses will be.”

Hearing this, the panic in the chief of staff's heart finally calmed down, and he regained confidence and assured loudly: "Yes, comrade commander, I will contact the troops immediately to issue orders."

Under the cover of more than 500 tanks, the first commando team led by Qian Guanglu, the head of the security regiment directly under the Ninth Army, formed a huge offensive formation with a frontal width of [-] meters, and quickly rushed towards the Soviet barracks with an unstoppable momentum. The Soviet forward headquarters in the middle was crushed away.

Throughout the offensive, whether it was the battalion-sized Soviet Red Army or the terrified single-handed Red Army.As long as they are within the shooting range of the 500-meter offensive formation, these Soviet Red Army will be beaten into a hornet's nest by the intensive bullet rain fired by the commando.

When the commando assaulted 500 meters forward along the direction of the breach.The Soviet Red Army has more than 2000 people who died successively under hundreds of machine guns of the commandos.Of course, this number is because the commandos have moved on.Still increasing.

However, just as the commando continued to break forward, the order from Lieutenant General McKees, the commander-in-chief of the Soviet forward, had been transmitted to all Soviet battalion-level and above headquarters.

As a result, in the Soviet barracks of Nuo Da, whether it was the troops that had been attacked or the parts that had not been attacked for the time being, they gave up their luggage one after another, spread their legs and moved to the tank troops stationed around the barracks.

According to the pre-war combat plan, the three commandos were in the process of advancing.The counterattacks encountered will definitely become stronger and stronger, and more and more Soviet Red Army will be encountered.

However, because of the transfer order of Lieutenant General McKeess, the first commando, which rushed forward again for 500 meters, could no longer see a living Soviet Red Army.Looking around, Nuoda's Soviet barracks didn't even have a single active figure except for tents that were deserted.

"What's going on, where have all the tens of thousands of old men in the barracks gone? Why can't I see a single person? Could it be that they are all dead..." The guard group Qian Guanglu group stood at the observation port of an armored command vehicle Chang looked puzzled and said to himself.

The voice just fell.The voice of the communication soldier around him reached Qian Guanglu's ears: "Regimental seat, the other two commandos reported that the infantry in the Soviet barracks had been ordered to transfer to their tank barracks, and the three commandos of our army had become Soviet troops. A turtle in a man's urn. The two regiment leaders asked. What should we do next, whether to immediately organize troops and firepower to open a breakthrough in the Soviet tank defense line, after all. The Soviet tank defense line has not yet been fully formed, and we still have a chance to break through .”

Among the three heads of the three commandos.Qian Guanglu, the head of the security regiment directly under the military headquarters, is a colonel, and has undoubtedly become the supreme commander of the three commandos at the moment.

Facing the situation reports and estimates sent by the other two commandos.Qian Guanglu immediately fell into a difficult decision.

Now to break out and retreat, taking advantage of the encirclement defense line of the Soviet Red Army has not yet been fully formed, there is definitely a chance to break out.However, in this case, the purpose of tonight's night attack will not be achieved.

If there is no breakthrough, given the current situation of the Soviet barracks, unless he loses his mind and orders the troops to attack the Soviet tank division station, otherwise, the empty Soviet barracks will not be able to achieve any results.More importantly, once the Soviet tank units surrounded by the barracks complete the encirclement, they will lose the best chance to break out.As long as the Soviet Red Army can surround itself until daytime, it will be devastated by the Soviet Air Force.

How can we not only break through the encirclement that the Soviet Red Army is about to form, but also achieve the purpose of this night attack and deal a devastating blow to the Soviet Red Army...

This was the only question Qian Guanglu was thinking about at this moment.

At this moment, groups of orange-red fireballs bursting out from time to time about one kilometer away from the commando's location suddenly caught Qian Guanglu's attention.

"Artillery... yes, it's the artillery. As long as you can take down the old Maozi's artillery, with the hundreds of heavy artillery equipped by the old Maozi's artillery, even if you hit them with shells, you can still open a gap for the commando in the Soviet army's encircled defense line. At that time, if I think of a way to destroy the hundreds of heavy artillery equipped by Lao Maozi before leaving, then Lao Maozi will lose the advantage of heavy artillery in the next battle." Qian Guanglu suddenly had a hint of inspiration in his mind The leader said excitedly to himself.

Afterwards, excitedly, he ordered directly to the communication soldier behind him: "Xiao Wang, contact the other two commanders immediately. My opinion is to immediately concentrate the strength of three commandos to capture the Soviet heavy artillery position. As long as we win the Soviet heavy artillery position , there will be a chance to break through and use the heavy artillery won to kill and injure the Soviet army's vital forces..."

While Qian Guanglu waited, within half a minute, the communications soldier received affirmative answers from the other two regiment leaders.

Therefore, the three commandos with a huge attack formation were like three large rollers, trying to crush the Soviet artillery positions from three different directions.

Although Lao Maozi's artillery tried to intercept it with artillery fire, in front of the three commandos that were advancing at high speed, the howling shells could not keep up with the assault speed of the commandos.When a round of artillery shells fired by the Soviet artillery unit exploded with a whistling sound, the fast-moving commandos had already left the shelling area and were getting closer and closer to their artillery positions.

More importantly, heavy artillery is not ordinary small-caliber artillery.Ordinary small-caliber artillery can shoot at close range, but large-caliber heavy artillery has a certain range of shooting dead angles due to shooting angles and other reasons.It can be said that when the three commandos approached the Soviet heavy artillery position for one kilometer from three different directions, they had already entered the dead end of the Soviet heavy artillery.

"Da da da... Boom boom..." The roar of tank guns, the hiss of vehicle-mounted heavy machine guns and general-purpose machine guns... It was like a beautiful battlefield symphony, which quickly sounded around the Soviet heavy artillery position.

Under such a three-dimensional attack of dense bullets and shells, the Soviet artillery, which was hardly equipped with light infantry weapons, was like a live target, and was directly shot and fell beside their most beloved artillery. (To be continued..)
