Rebirth of the Republic of China: The Rise of China

Xiangzhuang's sword dance is intended for Peigong.

After half a year of development, especially under the guarantee of sufficient funds.The intelligence department of the Ninth Army, directly under the leadership of Zhang Tianyu, expanded rapidly outward.With the Ludong Special Zone as the center, a huge intelligence network has been rolled out.

At this moment, the area covered by Zhang Tianyu's intelligence network not only includes the entire Shandong Province, but also the surrounding areas of Henan and Hebei, and even Nanjing City, where the central "government" is located. of branches.Then, through radio waves, the military department was continuously provided with the latest news from all over the country...,

As a result, on the front line of Laiwu and Linyi, where Han Fuqu's heavy troops were stationed, the various defenders had just begun to mobilize, and they had not even left the garrison.Packets of information had already been delivered to Li Guosheng.

"Zhizhi, Han Fuqu, is really willing to pay such a big capital for the city of Jinan. Two main divisions, three independent brigades, and six infantry regiments...a total of 4 troops are just to defend a city of Jinan." After finishing the information in his hand, Li Guosheng, who was in a good mood, couldn't help but let out a sigh of emotion. [

"Junzuo, don't forget, for Han Fuqu, Jinan City is his foundation. If Jinan, the provincial capital, is lost, I can be sure that someone Jiang in Nanjing City will withdraw him immediately. The positions of the provincial chief and security commander," Jiang Baili analyzed.

Of course Li Gusheng knew what Jiang Baili said, but because of the appearance of the fighter plane, he was very happy and couldn't help but let out a sigh of emotion.After Jiang Baili's voice fell, Li Guosheng nodded noncommittally.said with a smile.

"Chief of Staff, I don't care what Han Fuqu thinks now. What I think now is to send troops as soon as possible, occupy all the territory of this military operation at the lowest cost, and get closer to our strategic goal of unifying the entire Shandong Province... ..."

"Army, although the opportunity to fight has already emerged. However, I believe that now is not the best time for the three main divisions to take the initiative to "expose" our [true] purpose," Chief of Staff Jiang Baili reminded tactfully.

Seeing the puzzled Commander Li Guosheng, Jiang Baili explained.

"According to the caller ID of the head of the First Combat Group Zhang, Zhangqiu City was reinforced by the Second Security Division of Han Fuqu. Although it cannot be described as impenetrable. However, with the strength of the First Combat Group, if you want to in a short time It is simply impossible to occupy Zhangqiu City and truly threaten Jinan City where Han Fuqu is located."

"If we reveal our [true] combat intention now, Han Fuqu, who has reacted, will definitely adjust himself when he knows that the Second Security Division can continue to stand firm in Zhangqiu and block the offensive of the first combat group. strategic deployment. At that time, our careful layout for Han Fuqu "will come to naught because of this, so please think twice, military seat"

"The chief of staff is right, I was too impatient... Li Guosheng smiled unconsciously.

Immediately, facing the pensive Jiang Baili, he said, "Since the main force can't be dispatched yet, let Zhang Huxiao's first combat group continue to play for Han Fuqu until the [-] elites that Han Fuqu dispatched from all over the country enter Jinan. Attack again, don't give Han Fuqu any reaction time..."

"The military seat is wise, but the lowly position is worried about a problem." Jiang Baili asked with a trace of worry.

"What's the problem?" Li Guosheng knew clearly that since the chief of staff in front of him regarded it as a problem, it meant that this problem must have a very important impact on the entire battle situation.While speaking, the brows that were stretched just now were directly frowned into a "Chuan, waiting for the explanation of Chief of Staff Jiang Baili...

Without hesitation, Jiang Baili said, "With the strength and equipment of the First Combat Group, it may be able to deter Han Fuqu in a short period of time.However, after a long time, I was worried that the cunning Han Fuqu would discover something from our deployment.After all, the first combat group has too few troops. If there is no backup in a short period of time, let alone Jinan City, which still has a main division, or Zhangqiu City, which has just received reinforcements, it is impossible to win... ……”

I don’t know if I don’t hear it, I’m startled when I hear it......

Jiang Baili's worry directly made Li Guosheng discover a huge loophole in the entire battle plan...,

The reason why Han Fuqu, who has been on the battlefield for a long time, is so anxious to deploy troops to defend Jinan City.The real reason: It is not that the first combat group with strong combat effectiveness is afraid of real large-scale battles, especially siege battles in the era of hot weapons.No matter how powerful the four thousand elite fighters are, there is nothing they can do about Jinan City, which is heavily defended and protected by thick walls.

At this moment, what Han Fuqu is really afraid of is the possible follow-up troops of the First Combat Group,...,

Once Zhangqiu is occupied by the First Combat Group of the Ninth Army, then the follow-up troops of the Ninth Army, that is, the tens of thousands of the main elite of the Ninth Army who had fought against the Japanese army, can complete the encirclement of Jinan City in a short period of time. Threatening the safety of Jinan.

Therefore, if Han Fuqu knew that the enemy he was facing was only four thousand elites outside Zhangqiu City, there would be no follow-up troops at all.Li Guosheng can be sure that Han Fuqu, who has reacted, will definitely discover something from it, and then quickly adjust his strategic deployment.Of course, if Han Fuqu is brave enough, relying on the strong troops around Jinan, it is not impossible to eat the first combat group in a short time .

Facing Jiang Baili in front of him, he said with lingering fear: "Chief of Staff, thank you for your reminder. Otherwise, our entire plan... would be because of this loophole. All previous efforts will be wasted, and even heavy losses..." [

Jiang Baili waved his hand with a smile, and said, "Army seat, the first combat group's attack on Zhangqiu has just begun, and it's not too late to make amends now. I mean, before the main force officially attacks, we will With Zhangqiu as the center, give Han Fuqu a good performance of "Xiang Zhuang's sword dance, aimed at Pei Gong,..."

"What a "Xiang Zhuang sword dance, intended for Peigong" Li Guosheng heaved a sigh of relief, very satisfied with Jiang Baili's apt metaphor blurted out, and said with a look of admiration.

"Chief of Staff, we will start to deploy follow-up troops to the First Combat Group, and fight a tough battle with Han Fuqu in the Zhangqiu area. Among the various combat troops under our Ninth Army, because the three main divisions already have tasks Other troops, including the Engineer Regiment, Secret Service Regiment, Cavalry Regiment, Heavy Artillery Brigade, etc., can participate in the battle.

"Now I order: the engineering regiment directly under the military department, the secret service regiment, the cavalry regiment, a [-]mm howitzer regiment under the heavy artillery brigade, and an infantry regiment with a total of more than [-] people, form the second combat group under the ninth army, and you, the chief of staff, will personally Take command and rush to help Zhangqiu City, and give Han Fuqu a good "Xiangzhuang Sword Dance". At the same time, use our superior equipment and firepower on the battlefield to kill and injure a large number of Han Fuqu's vital forces, making them completely lose the possibility of counterattacking us. ……”

"Please don't worry, the military seat, I promise to complete the mission..." Jiang Baili, who finally got a chance to lead the army independently after entering the Gu Jiujun, replied confidently.

Outside the city of Zhangqiu, which was under heavy artillery fire, in order to make up for its own disadvantage in military strength as much as possible.Zhang Huxiao directly ordered the artillery group to use artillery shells regardless of consumption to suppress Han Fuqu's second security division in the city, which had just changed defenses, and did not give the opponent any chance to counterattack.

However, because the guard group's attack was too hasty, they did not carry too many shells.

The commander-in-chief, Zhang Huxiao, was watching every move on the front line with a dignified expression through the binoculars.Chief of Staff Fan Ziwen, who was in charge of contacting the artillery group, walked in with a little worry and reported.

"Tuan, I have some bad news... Battalion Commander Wang of the Artillery Battalion just called, and we are running out of shells. According to the current consumption rate, all the shells will be exhausted in half an hour at most... ……”

"Without artillery shells, let's rely on the infantry to think back to the past. Without the support of artillery fire, our infantry can block even the most elite Japanese troops. What's more, the warlord troops in front of us told the commander of the artillery battalion to stop the shelling immediately. All the troops on the front line should do Prepare to meet the enemy's counterattack and avenge the brothers who died in battle." Because in the hands of the Second Security Division, half of the infantry battalion was directly lost.Faced with this news, the head of the group, Zhang Huxiao, ordered without thinking about it with a gloomy face.

At the beginning of the entire battle, there was only one regiment of defenders in Zhangqiu City.

Zhang Huxiao directly attacked him with a fierce offensive.However, with the arrival of reinforcements from Zhangqiu's garrison, Zhang Huxiao couldn't continue his arrogance when facing the garrison with absolute superiority in strength...

To be clear, Zhang Sundao, the commander of the Second Security Division of Han Fuqu, who climbed up from the grassroots step by step.

As a battle-tested Lao Jiang, he is not a vegetarian either.After entering the position, it is clear that although the current Ninth Army troops are well-equipped, the total strength is only 4000 after accurate information.

Zhang Sundao, who was determined to reinforce Zhangqiu and stick to Zhangqiu, directly made a very bold decision...

He changed his previous defensive style and used the arrogance and offense of the guard regiment to launch a sudden counterattack on the battlefield before the forward reinforcements of the Ninth Army arrived on the battlefield.Using the melee after the counter-charge, weakening the opponent's equipment advantage, relying on the most primitive method of exchanging human lives, eat as much as possible of the Ninth Army's vitality, and severely deter the opponent in front of you.

In this way, after Han Fuqu's Second Security Division arrived at the battlefield, a conspiracy against the guard regiment and an infantry battalion to attack the troops began...

The offensive troops of a battalion of the guard regiment, under the cover of various light and heavy firepower behind them, just approached the defenders' position.A shower of grenades flew out from the defenders' positions.Immediately afterwards, almost two battalions of defenders jumped out of their positions, and with the help of the smoke from the explosion of the grenade, they launched a counterattack against the first battalion of the guard regiment with their bayonet-mounted rifles...

Facing the fearless counterattack of the defenders, the first battalion of the guard regiment, with the support of the follow-up troops, successfully withdrew from the battlefield.However, what everyone didn't expect was that this attack and counterattack alone cost the first battalion more than [-] people directly killed in battle, a huge price never seen since the start of the war.

With the experience and lessons learned by the defenders who launched a counterattack this time, in order to avoid their own limited strength, they will be attacked by the opponent again.The First Combat Group of the Ninth Army, which had been maintaining an offensive posture, had to shrink its defense line under Zhang Huxiao's order.Then, use fierce artillery fire to continuously kill and injure enemy defenders who may launch counterattacks against themselves.

Zhang Huxiao's order to "stop shelling" had just been issued, and the roaring artillery sound that lasted for half an hour slowly stopped. And at this moment, as expected by Zhang Huxiao, an entire infantry regiment, more than two thousand People's defenders. Under the cover of relatively strong light and heavy machine gun fire behind them, they rushed out of the position and launched a counterattack against the guard group...

"Brothers, hold your breath... 150 meters, wait for the enemy to enter the 150-meter range before opening fire." On the ground of the second battalion of the guard regiment, he watched the two thousand enemies quickly pressing towards his own position.While observing the movement of the opponent, he kept going back and forth on the ground to encourage his subordinates and issue combat orders..., [

"Mortar cluster, fire immediately, knock out the firepower of the enemy's heavy machine gun. In addition, notify the mountain artillery battalion behind, and be prepared to counterattack and destroy the enemy's exposed artillery positions at any time..." Seeing that the close-range positions are getting closer and closer The second battalion commander ordered first.

"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo" the sharp whistling sound of shells rang out on the battlefield following the order of the commander of the second battalion.In the first round, almost twenty shells flew directly over the heads of the two thousand attacking enemy troops, roaring past.In the end, they landed firmly on the enemy's light and heavy machine gun position, and set off a fireball and blood rain. Perhaps it was because they knew that the guard regiment was equipped with a mountain artillery regiment that could destroy all its own artillery.

Faced with the raging mortar fire from the guard regiment, Zhang Sundao, the commander of the second security division of the enemy, did not rashly order the limited mortars in his hand to come out to die.

One ebbs and another, the rain of heavy machine gun bullets passing over the top of the Second Battalion's position suddenly became sparse due to the counterattack of the mortars.

Without the strong fire suppression, the pressure on the second battalion's shoulders became much smaller in an instant.Heavy machine guns, light machine guns, rifles, and submachine guns began to slowly stretch out of the simple trenches under the fiddling of the officers and soldiers.Aim the muzzle of the black hole at the two thousand attacking troops of the enemy who are getting closer and closer to him.

250 meters... 200 meters... 150 meters...

When the commander of the second battalion of the guard regiment lying on the ground could clearly see the enemy's facial expression through the binoculars, he let out a roar and spit it out directly from his mouth.

"Brothers, give me a hard hit..."

As a group of battle-tested veterans, coupled with the army's six-month military training in accordance with the PLA training manual of later generations.As far as the defense of the entire [Chinese] army is concerned, if the guard regiment is ranked second, absolutely no one dares to be the first...

The whole battalion has more than [-] light machine guns, ten heavy machine guns, more than one hundred submachine guns, and several hundred rifles...distributed at intervals "layer upon layer, using bullets like rain" to quickly construct a formation in front of the position. An impenetrable bullet net......

More than two thousand aggressive enemies, facing such a dense counterattack firepower, directly hit an impenetrable iron wall.No matter how many troops the enemy puts into this iron wall, all of them, without exception, will be beaten to death.

Soon, a "corpse wall" consisting entirely of corpses and reaching a height of half a meter suddenly appeared 150 meters away from the front of the position. "The appearance of the corpse wall, on the one hand, means that the counterattack of the guard group has achieved very huge results. On the other hand, it also means that the enemy who is in a disadvantaged state has an extra line out of thin air that can be used to block the oncoming "shooting" Bullet shelter.

For a moment, the killing effect of the second battalion's intensive bullet rain dropped at a straight-line speed.At the same time, the enemy's attacking troops, which obtained a bunker out of thin air, also began to rely on this "corpse wall" to use their rifles and light machine guns to carry out close-range shooting with the second battalion of the guard regiment. In terms of shooting accuracy, with the support of huge training consumption, the guard regiment is definitely far higher than the Han Fuqu troops in front of them. During the "shooting" process, the casualties suffered by Han Fuqu troops also continued to rise in a straight line. However, with the More and more bullets were being shot by the security guards. Even if a blind cat ran into a dead mouse, the Second Battalion of the Guard Regiment had to face the gradual casualties.

"Tuan Zuo, we must find a way to destroy this "corpse wall" 150 meters away. Otherwise, even if the enemy uses this bunker to shoot at us, the casualties we will suffer will become more and more clear. Our troops are not as strong as the Han Fuqu troops in front of us, and we will definitely not be able to defeat them in the face of death," Fan Ziwen, chief of staff of the regiment, suggested with a solemn expression.

"Damn it, if my mountain cannon shells are sufficient, they can directly connect to the "corpse wall, and all the enemies behind will be blown to pieces by him."However, who made our shells insufficient at this time... Order the mortars of the one or two battalions to fire immediately, killing and injuring a large number of enemies hiding in the "corpse wall". As for the mountain artillery battalion behind, it is not the key Time, absolutely cannot be used..." Zhang Huxiao ordered with a look of hatred.

Chief of Staff Fan Ziwen was just about to deliver an order.The excited figure of the communication staff officer appeared in front of everyone very unexpectedly.Before Zhang Huxiao and Fan Ziwen could react from their confusion, the excited voice of the communication staff began to ring out in the headquarters.

"Tuan Zuo, Chief of Staff, good news... Lou Bao of the Military Department..."

"Say, what's the matter?" Zhang Huxiao asked expectantly...

"The follow-up troops led by the chief of staff of the military department, with a total of more than [-] people in five regiments, have set off from Weixian County to reinforce Zhangqiu. According to the marching speed of the chief of staff, at most twelve small

When the time comes, you can rush to the battlefield... In addition, in order to replenish the ammunition that our department is constantly consuming, a total of twenty cars full of various ammunition have left Weixian an hour and a half ago.According to preliminary estimates, in half an hour, the various ammunition supplies we urgently need will arrive on the battlefield," the communications staff officer said...

"Chief of staff, this is God's help. As soon as the ammunition arrives, our mountain cannon shells are enough... immediately order the artillery battalion behind to aim at the "corpse wall" 150 meters away and give me a hard blow." Bombing for 10 minutes, I wiped out the entire "corpse wall", including the enemies hiding behind the "corpse wall." Excited Zhang Huxiao directly changed the combat order.

"Yes, group seat"! ! !
