Rebirth of the Republic of China: The Rise of China

Brutal Knockout

After the military vehicle full of soldiers' remains slowly disappeared from everyone's sight, the soldier closest to the platoon leader asked the platoon leader with a pale face: "Platoon leader, the battlefield is really so tragic. We have such good weapons. , and lost so many people. Along the way, we saw at least hundreds of cars pulling the remains of martyrs and the wounded leading to the rear..."

Seeing the subordinates who have been in the army for several years, but have not experienced real battles.I think of the series of bloody battles I have experienced, especially the few battles that the National Defense Forces had just penetrated into the Northeast and fought with the Soviet Far East Army.A self-deprecating smile slowly appeared on his face.

Facing the subordinates in front of him, he replied: "Is it tragic... I don't think... I think back then when the National Defense Forces had just penetrated into the three northeastern provinces and faced two powerful enemies, the Soviet Far East Army and the Japanese Kwantung Army, the bloody battle after another was really tragic. One After one battle, as long as the infantry regiment participated in the battle, it will pay more than half of the losses..."

"I still remember that I personally participated in a battle to block the reinforcements of the Soviet Far East Army. In that battle, the infantry regiment I belonged to had a total of 500 people. During the day of standing on the battlefield, Facing the fierce Soviet artillery fire, the entire regiment survived with less than 600 people. The remaining soldiers, including the lightly and severely wounded, all died on the battlefield..."

"At that time, whether it was the wounded or the living, facing the attacking Soviets, they had only one idea, and that was to 'shoot' out the bullets in the barrel, and kill the enemy's vital forces as much as possible before dying... "

Dozens of subordinates in the platoon were slowly attracted by the war scenes told by the platoon leader.

Located in the middle of the convoy, I saw oncoming traffic.After transporting the remains of the martyrs and the cars of the wounded.The ambition and arrogance that had been rising in Wu Keren's heart since he dispatched troops showed signs of slowly subsiding and extinguishing.

Wu Keren already had a faint feeling in his heart that the battle he was about to participate in was not as simple as he imagined. [

Of course, Wu Keren's feeling is not only from passing by the convoy.Cars full of dead soldiers and wounded.There is also the latest enemy report from the former enemy headquarters.

In addition, Wu Keren, who was born in artillery, has another way of judging.

Listening to the faint sound of cannons getting closer and closer to him, Wu Keren can be sure that there are definitely more than [-] large-caliber heavy artillery in combat on the front line.According to the battle report, there is only one division of heavy artillery deployed by our side on the border, which means that the remaining at least [-] heavy artillery pieces belong to the Soviet Red Army.

A few days ago, I was excited and proud that I had two organized heavy artillery regiments under my command.But.Compared with the Soviet Red Army, which has always flattered cannonism, this property in my hands is not even enough to give the enemy teeth.

Losing the advantage of heavy artillery, coupled with the limited number of air forces, there is no way to provide support to ground forces except for fighting the Soviet Air Force.What Wu Keren can do is to lead the troops and defend to the death under the suppression of enemy artillery fire...

On the battlefield completely shrouded in gunpowder smoke.The roar of dense artillery had just spread in the Soviet army's position, and the violent artillery explosion sounded in the Wehrmacht's position.

When clusters of orange-red fireballs soared from the ground with the sound of explosions, the thousands of Soviet troops who were immobilized 100 meters in front of the position were suppressed by the counterattack firepower of the National Defense Forces, like a wave that had rushed to the end. , retreated quickly.

The new First Division of the National Defense Forces led by Wu Keren just arrived at the position during the battle.

Walk into the frontline headquarters.After paying a military salute with Commander Yang Boshu of the 092 Division of the Ninth Army of the National Defense Army who was standing here.Quickly walked to the lookout of the headquarters, raised the binoculars, and observed the forward position less than one kilometer away from the headquarters.

Inside the telescope, the green prairie was dotted with stars a day ago, but at this moment, it has been completely burnt to black.Stepping on it, the thick floating soil blasted up by the cannon directly submerged to the ankle.

The dozens of huge craters scattered in the middle of the position are like craters all over the surface of the moon.As for the surroundings of the crater, the remains of fallen soldiers in military uniforms of the National Defense Forces were all facing outwards.Feet facing inward, fell messily around the country pit...

According to preliminary estimates, there are more than a thousand corpses of soldiers who can only see around the pit, and that doesn't include those who were directly blown to pieces.Soldiers who couldn't even leave a complete body.

After taking a deep breath, he slightly relieved his nervousness when he first entered the battlefield.Wu Keren quickly shifted his gaze to Yang Boshu beside him, and said in a heavy tone: "Mr. Yang, thank you for your hard work... Next, this formation will be handed over to my new First Division..."

Yang Boshu was not pretentious, and answered bluntly: "Since you are here, Master Wu, I will leave the position to you... I am not afraid of jokes. Until now, one of my field infantry divisions, even if I add Of all the logistics personnel in the world, there are only less than 9000 left who can continue to participate in the battle. And this is caused by the enemy air force's time to participate in the battle under the desperate harassment of the Second Air Division."

After a wry smile from the heart surfaced on Yang Boshu's face, Yang Boshu continued to speak: "If the Second Air Force Division hadn't tried their best to block the Soviet Air Force, one of my field infantry divisions might have been nothing but an empty shell. Alright, no More to say... According to the command of the chief, I will leave all the remaining artillery and air defense units of the whole division to you..."[

After speaking, Yang Boshu gave Wu Keren a military salute and quickly issued an order to retreat.

At the same time, Wu Keren's dignified facial expression was replaced by seriousness, and he ordered the chief of staff behind him with a dignified expression: "Chief of staff, order the new 011 regiment to enter the position immediately... the other two infantry regiments, all enter Bunker hole for concealment, serving as the reserve force of the whole army..."

"Artillery, air defense, quickly build a concealed position, spread out with the company as a unit... At the same time, send corresponding liaison officers to immediately contact the air defense and artillery units left by the 092 Division, and ask the relevant units to redeploy according to my order Artillery and anti-aircraft positions, and get in touch with the headquarters..."

The Wehrmacht who stood firm on the line of defense changed defenses. Even though the line of defense stretching for several kilometers was covered by gunpowder smoke, it could not escape the eyes of Soviet investigators.

Take advantage of the opportunity for the troops to walk out of the artillery hole.A large number of Soviet bombers slowly appeared over the battlefield like a black cloud.

Afterwards, a heavy aviation bomb that made a sharp whistling sound fell on the defense line like rain and exploded.

After witnessing a platoon of infantrymen disappear in smoke in a bomb explosion, Wu Keren's clenched fist finally smashed hard on the concrete wall of the headquarters out of anger and heartache.He didn't even look back.He shouted angrily at his subordinates behind him: "Air Force, I need Air Force support... Immediately contact the former enemy headquarters, I need Air Force support..."

The call back from Front Enemy Command was swift.

Seeing the chief of staff walking towards him quickly, Wu Keren, who couldn't bear the pain in his heart every time there was an explosion, hurriedly asked: "Chief of staff, when will our air force reinforcements arrive? Don't dare to take the plane above our heads. The soldiers can't deploy defenses at the forward positions, and the entire blocking battle will be impossible..."

The chief of staff shook his head with a wry smile, and replied under Wu Keren's puzzled gaze: "Master, the air reinforcements are temporarily gone... The former finger replied that the remaining fighters of the Second Air Division are less than fifty, and we can only guarantee Our army's logistics line is safe in the air. So. In the next week, we will not receive any air support..."

"What..." Wu Keren exclaimed loudly with an unbelievable expression on his face.

After snatching the telegram from the chief of staff and confirming that it was wrong, a trace of despair from the heart quickly rushed to his cheeks.

At the same time, the faces of other officers of the division headquarters who heard the reply from the front finger could not help showing expressions of despair.What's more, the faces of some officers had turned pale, as if they were on the verge of death.Looking straight ahead with both eyes.

After feeling the rapidly cooling atmosphere in the headquarters, Wu Keren suddenly recovered from the shock.In order to cheer everyone up, and also to encourage myself, he said loudly: "Damn it, isn't there no air force... When the National Defense Forces first entered the Northeast, not only did they not have an air force, they didn't even have a decent heavy artillery. They were still fighting on the battlefield." Won the old Maozi and the Japanese."

"Now, although we don't have an air force, we have heavy artillery, anti-aircraft artillery, and plenty of "powder". With so much good equipment, I don't believe that we can't beat the old man in front of us...both of them are two With a head on my shoulders, I don't believe that the old Maozi has three heads and six arms. A child won't die in the past..."

"Besides, we are all members of the Chinese Communist Party and have become members of the National Defense Forces. Do you want veterans of the National Defense Forces to laugh at us and say that we are not as good as them..."

The chief of staff was very cooperative and echoed: "The teacher is right. When we withdrew from the three northeastern provinces, how many elders in the northeast pointed at us and called us deserters. Now, we finally have the opportunity to prove to the elders in the northeast that we are not deserters." opportunity. Today, even if I throw over 100 catties of meat here, I will not take a step back..."

"Yes, bloody battle to the end, stand firm..."

"Old Maozi is also a human being, and he also carries a head on his shoulders. We are not afraid, at worst, we will die..."

…………

After all kinds of angry roars sounded from the headquarters, everyone's low morale finally disappeared, replaced by a fighting spirit...

After a long breath of relief, Wu Keren once again turned his attention to the immediate position where the Soviet Air Force was bombing back and forth.

Seeing that his subordinates could only lie on the ground motionless under the attack of the Soviet Air Force, they could not enter the front line at all.Wu Keren's frown became deeper, and he said to the chief of staff: "We must find a way to drive away the old Maozi bomber group and let the 011 regiment quickly enter the position. Otherwise, once the Soviet Red Army launches an attack , we run out of time..."

"Air defense force..." the chief of staff responded with a hint.

"Master, at present, it seems that we can only use two air defense battalions in advance..."

"The two air defense battalions are shooting at the air with all their strength, which can provide at least 011 minutes for the 10 regiment. However, after 10 minutes, the two air defense battalions will be completely finished..."

After a brief struggle in his heart, Wu Keren quickly showed a firm expression on his face, and decisively ordered: "As long as the 011 regiment can enter the position, no matter how big the price is, it will not be too late... Order the air defense battalion to conduct air defense immediately." "Shooting"... All the commanders and fighters of the air defense battalion, except for the necessary combat personnel, the remaining soldiers immediately withdraw from the position..."

The two air defense battalions suddenly opened fire, and the dense Soviet bomber fleet was caught off guard.Six bombers exploded directly, and five bombers were hit by machine guns. They withdrew from the battlefield dragging thick black smoke and evacuated to the territory of the Soviet Union.

Facing the sudden attack, the bomber fleet quickly shifted their attack targets to the six air defense positions that had just been exposed.

Take advantage of this attack gap.Thousands of soldiers of the 011 Regiment who had been pinned behind the position, like a herd of mad cows, rushed to the front line regardless of everything, and rushed into the nearest artillery hole...

Just after rushing into an underground bomb defense hole, Zhou Xinfa, the head of the newly formed 011 regiment, ordered to the signal soldier behind him: "Contact the battalions and companies immediately, count and report the loss..."

soon.The chief of staff with a serious face came over and said: "Regiment, the statistics have been calculated... The total loss of the whole regiment is 391 people, and two entire infantry companies are gone... But, fortunately, more than [-]% of the regiment Heavy weapons and "medicine" have been brought to the battlefield by us..."

Zhou Xinfa's nervous heart suddenly relaxed, and after a long sigh of relief, he ordered: "It's good that the weapons are here... Inform the battalions and companies to follow our predetermined tactics. The front is light and the fire is light. Once the fire coverage of the ground position stops, immediately enter the position and prepare for battle..."

Knowing that their own tanks no longer had the upper hand on the battlefield, the Soviet tanks in offensive cover rushed to 150 meters in front of the position and stopped attacking. Instead, they stopped in place and acted as fixed firepower points, using vehicle-mounted weapons to condescend to provide firepower to the attacking troops. cover.

So, on the way to attack before 150 meters.Except for the falling mortar shells that can kill the Soviet offensive troops, the bullets fired by the 011 regiment have no effect at all, and can only shoot a string of sparks on the Soviet tank body.

However, the roaring Soviet tanks can use the tank guns and the high-level dual-purpose machine guns on the top of the turret to fatally kill the soldiers of the 011 regiment guarding the position.

Facing this completely one-sided attack method, Zhou Xinfa couldn't help heaving a long sigh of relief with lingering fear.

Because, if it weren't for the arrangement method of the front and rear of the troops, I would only deploy an infantry company on the front line.Facing the counterattacking fire nets fired by dozens of Soviet tanks, the frontline defenders will definitely suffer heavy losses.

However, although there is only one infantry company in the first-line defenders.but.In addition to the more than 100 rifles and ten light machine guns that should have been equipped, this infantry company had three heavy machine guns.Under the guidance of the tactic of "heavy firepower at the front and light at the back", Zhou Xinfa equipped him with twenty light machine guns and six heavy machine guns...

When dozens of Soviet tanks lined up and parked 150 meters away from the front of the position to serve as fixed firepower points, a steady stream of Soviet offensive troops began to pass the tanks.After appearing in front of everyone like a tide.

A sneer flashed quickly across Zhou Xinfa's face, and he said to himself, "Damn it, after being suppressed and beaten by the old man for so long, it's finally our turn to fight back..."

As soon as the voice fell, the dense gunfire sounded in the front line.

Thirty light machine guns and nine heavy machine guns quickly formed an impenetrable steel storm in front of the position.

At the same time, an infantry battalion scattered in the second-line position 50 meters away, with a total of 200 light machine guns and [-] heavy machine guns, also fired a new steel storm at the Soviet army [-] meters away.

Under the simultaneous sweep of two steel storms, the Soviet Red Army, which lost the cover of the tank body, was cut down to the ground in pieces like ripe wheat.

Although the Soviet army that crossed the tank body still continued to advance with its superiority in strength.However, during the entire advance process, almost every meter advanced, dozens of hundreds of lives disappeared in the sound of guns and guns.

Of course, the Soviet tanks responsible for providing fire cover were not idle.

More than 30 tank guns poured guns on the position at their fastest rate of fire, destroying a fixed firepower point.However, because the 011 regiment is equipped with a large number of light machine guns, and every time it shoots a shuttle, it changes to a machine gun position. At least half of the guns fired by the Soviet tank guns missed the target.

As time went by, the soldiers became more and more familiar with the combat methods, and the chances of the Soviet tank guns hitting the target became smaller and smaller.

Even so, the high-level dual-purpose large-caliber machine gun located on the top of the tank turret has become the biggest killer of the defenders because of its rate of fire and range far exceeding ordinary machine guns.

Because a large number of positions were destroyed, although the floating soil in front of everyone could block ordinary machine guns, it could not block large-caliber anti-aircraft machine guns.

When the hot and thick flames swept towards the position, the thick machine guns directly penetrated the floating soil in front of everyone and "shot" into the bodies of the soldiers...

The battlefield where the rain is flying is not only the most testing, but also the most training place.Under the threat of death at close range, especially in the face of the blood hole in the mouth of a bowl after being hit by a large-caliber bullet, many soldiers with weak willpower directly took measures.

And on this battlefield full of murderous opportunities, once your spirit cannot be highly concentrated, the next moment the enemy shoots will hit you.

Although the casualties on the battlefield were increasing, more and more soldiers were hit by quilts in panic.However, the fighters who still survived in the trenches are suspected to be veterans and elites who have a keen sense of smell, have very powerful individual capabilities, and can quickly adapt to the battlefield...
