Rebirth of the Republic of China: The Rise of China

Storming Zhangqiu City saw that the infantry continued to suffer casualties in the confrontation with the enemy.The hundreds of artillerymen under the artillery battalion were full of anger.Waiting anxiously for the order to fire from the headquarters, he smashed the shells in his hand at the enemy's position.Use the blood of the enemy to avenge the fallen comrades-in-arms. At this moment, the long-awaited firing order of hundreds of artillerymen finally arrived. Mountain artillery and infantry artillery clusters in the area 10 meters ahead.After receiving the order, the impatient gunners directly pushed the shells into the barrel at their fastest firing speed, closed the bolt, and fired. The artillery position sounded, and white smoke spewed out directly from the muzzle of the black hole.A total of more than 150 mountain cannons and infantry artillery shells quickly flew into the sky with a sharp whistling sound.Then, under the effect of inertia, he rushed to the intended bombardment target... Liu Zheng was hiding behind the "corpse wall", and the enemy's attacking troops kept firing deadly bullets at the second battalion of the guard regiment. There was no Thinking that the Ninth Army Mountain Artillery Regiment, which had stopped shelling for half an hour, would come directly to its own position when the two armies were fighting, and was right beside him. They reacted in the middle. The shells like raindrops had already landed beside them and exploded.

There was an explosion, and clusters of orange fireballs rose from the ground.Of course, as the fireball rose, there were still a large number of dead soldiers and broken limbs and arms...,...

After a round of shell explosions, the "wall of corpses" that had been neat just now was blown to pieces by dozens of shells, and could no longer serve as a shield against the bullets.As for the enemy troops hiding behind the "corpse wall", they were also killed and injured hundreds of people under the baptism of dozens of shells in the first round.

Without the cover of the "corpse wall", in the face of the dense bullet rain from the opposite guard group, the gathered enemy attacking troops were once again swept to the ground in pieces like felled wheat. Of course , even if these enemy troops were all lying on the ground and temporarily escaped the baptism of bullet rain. Their heads were like raindrops, and the mountain artillery and infantry artillery shells that kept falling were constantly harvesting their fragile raw materials. The 65-minute shelling lasted less than 10 In just a few minutes, the densely packed attacking troops in front of the Second Battalion's position paid a huge price for the loss of more than half. As for the remaining troops, facing such heavy casualties, they were already scared out of fear and lost the courage to continue attacking.

Regardless of the orders of the officers at all levels, they began to retreat in panic. However, these enemies in panic completely forgot a common sense issue.When he fled backwards, his back was completely exposed to the dense machine gun fire of the guard regiment before he knew it.Of course, even if he managed to escape the strafing of light and heavy machine guns, there is still a fire zone completely composed of shells, blocking their way... Second, another 5 minutes passed, and when the sound of the shells ended, what happened? The offensive and defensive battle in front of the second battalion's position also came to an end unknowingly as the number of enemies decreased. [

The gunpowder smoke pervading the battlefield slowly dissipated, and the large battlefield about 300 meters to 150 meters away from the second battalion position was finally clearly displayed in front of everyone.

The enemy's offensive force of more than [-] people was under the sharp attack and counterattack of a main battalion of the guard regiment and a mountain artillery battalion.

Except for the remnants of less than a hundred soldiers, they escaped from the battlefield by chance.The remaining officers and soldiers did not turn into corpses, lying motionless on the battlefield.It is to become a lightly or severely wounded person, lying on the battlefield because of being unable to move, and constantly wailing heart-piercingly.

"Eat the opponent's infantry regiment in an hour. I see the second security division. What is there in front of us that continues to be arrogant? I, Zhang Huxiao, will see Han Fuqu's elite team and security guards when I arrive today. Compared with the first division, what is the difference?"

At the end of the battle, Zhang Huxiao's frowning face finally flashed a relaxed smile, and he muttered to himself facing the bloody battlefield.

"The regiment, plus our several attacks and the damage caused by the bombardment of the Zhangqiu city fortifications. I preliminarily estimate that in the past few hours, the second security division in front of me has suffered at least 500 casualties... ...500 people, fully accounted for one-third of the opponent's force. As long as the opponent's commander is not a fool, he will rationally choose to use the relatively strong city defense fortifications when the strength of the opponent is not too great. The only battle plan is to stick to Zhangqiu City," Chief of Staff Fan Ziwen said confidently.

The two people were right. They witnessed an infantry regiment, Zhang Sundao, the commander of the Second Security Division, who was completely lost in an attack.In my heart, apart from being shocked by the opponent's combat effectiveness and excellent equipment, I only regret that I should not take the initiative to attack. Otherwise, relying on the loss of 2000 people to defend with solid fortifications, at least it can cause at least one attack to the Ninth Army's offensive troops. battalion casualties.

But now, the loss of these 2000 people not only has no effect on the big strategic goal of defending Zhangqiu.More importantly, its entire army was wiped out, causing almost no damage to its opponents. The husband looked at the corpses of his subordinates scattered hundreds of meters away. It cannot be the opponent's Master Zhang Sundao.Zhihu immediately gave the remaining troops under his command the latest combat order to shrink the line of defense and hold on to the spot. Thus, after an unprecedentedly tragic offensive and defensive battle ended.Both the enemy and the enemy are taking the time to make up for their own shortcomings.Defending Zhangqiu City, Han Fuqu's Second Security Division, which still had a certain force advantage, no longer took the initiative to attack.The number of troops is limited, and Zhang Huxiao's first combat group, which has already lost a battalion, of course will not take the initiative to attack... Second, just like this, a rare tranquility unexpectedly appeared on the battlefield.

"Tuan Zuo, it seems that we made a good estimate. The Second Security Division on the opposite side of the Sixth Road has been frightened by us, and has completely lost the courage to continue to attack us." Looking at the rarely calm battlefield in front of him, Chief of Staff Fan Ziwen smiled. opened the mouth.

"Isn't this exactly the result we want to see?" Zhang Huxiao, who was in a good mood, asked back with a smile.

"Tuan Zuo is right, as long as this calm can be maintained until the arrival of our army's backup, we can join forces and launch an unprecedented onslaught against Zhangqiu in front of us, wiping out all the defenders in the city. In the end , Occupying Zhangqiu City "threatened Jinan, where Han Fuqu's headquarters is located... [-]" Fan Ziwen replied.

Zhang Shuxiao didn't speak, but shook his head with a sneer.

"Tuan Zuo, is there any question?" Chief of Staff Fan Ziwen asked in confusion.

"Of course there is no problem in welcoming the follow-up main force, joining forces, taking down Zhangqiu, and threatening Jinan City as the main strategic route. It's just that during the more than ten hours of welcoming the follow-up main force, we can't let the security guards in front of us take the second place." Master, just lie leisurely in Zhangqiu City and sleep in Dajuechuan," Zhang Huxiao said with a sneer.

"Tuan Zuo, what do you mean?" Fan Ziwen nodded thoughtfully and asked.

"The logistics department just called. The various artillery shells sent to us by the military seat are enough for the Shanpao battalion to consume ten hours. Since there are enough shells, we will use artillery fire" to constantly harass the enemies in the city.While killing its limited defenders as much as possible, the opponent has been in a state of nervous tension and restlessness during the more than ten hours of waiting." Speaking of this, a strong murderous look directly surfaced on Zhang Huxiao's face.

"Tuan Zuo is wise... I will arrange for you right away..."

In the face of Zhang Huxiao's first combat group's next company-level tentative attack, in order to avoid possible accidents.Zhang Sundao, the commander of the Second Security Division, had to order a main battalion to fight.However, what made him feel aggrieved was that the attacking troops of a company of the guard regiment stopped advancing as soon as they entered the best range of their light machine guns.Use the sophisticated equipment in your hands to shoot at the defenders.

The defenders of a battalion of the Second Security Division faced a company of guard regiments that neither attacked nor retreated.In the event of a last resort, only the same means can be used to fight back. [

When the bullets from both sides come and go, the fight is exhilarating.The mountain artillery battalion under the First Combat Group, the infantry artillery company, the mortar company directly under each battalion, and the light mortar platoon directly under each company, there are almost a hundred artillery pieces of various types. At the same time, at the same place, the security guards were assembled The blocking position of a battalion of the second division suddenly launched a short and intensive saturated bombardment. Although it was covered by trenches, the loss of the defenders was very limited amidst the explosion of dense shells. However, there were hundreds of shells at a time. Sex hits, even if a blind cat hits a dead mouse, it can kill several Toyona defenders in the trench..., the six artillerymen finished five rapid shots, and the attacking troops of a company of the guard regiment are already under the cover of artillery fire Next, they quietly pushed out of the battlefield without a single soldier. In this way, a short harassment battle combining infantry sneak attack and artillery attack came to a successful conclusion.

The main battalion of the Second Security Division, relying on the city defense fortifications, blocked a tentative attacking infantry company of the guard regiment.Not only did they fail to achieve any meaningful results, but they lost nearly a hundred troops under the short and intensive artillery attacks of the guard regiment's artillery group... six rounds followed by one round.For a full ten hours, the guard regiment fought piecemeal and continued harassment operations.Zhang Sundao's second security division directly paid a huge loss of up to a thousand people.

What's more, ten consecutive hours of high-intensity tension made all the officers and soldiers have exhausted expressions on their faces.

On the other hand, the First Combat Group under the command of Zhang Huxiao, apart from wasting a few hours of shell output at the Ludong Armory, that is, tens of thousands of shells of various calibers, did not even lose a single infantry platoon.

Zhang Sundao, the commander of the Second Security Division, faced with the strange style of play of the guard group, he was holding back his anger, but he had nowhere to vent his anger.After continuous rapid marches, Jiang Baili, chief of staff of the Ninth Army, who arrived on the battlefield ahead of schedule, had already appeared at the temporary headquarters of the First Combat Group, listening to Zhang Huxiao's report on the specific enemy situation with a serious expression.

"Chief of Staff, the specific situation is as follows: After continuous consumption, the Second Security Division defending Zhangqiu City, even if the original garrison troops are added, the total strength will not exceed 7000. In addition, this It is the defense map of the enemy in Zhangqiu City. It was drawn by my First Combat Group through a ten-hour trial attack, and there is absolutely no error."

Pointing to the hand-painted map in front of him, Zhang Huxiao spoke confidently.

"Commander Zhang, you've done a good job. With 4000 troops against more than [-] enemies, not only did you not fail, but you achieved a huge result of wiping out [-] enemies. All of you are my Ninth Army, my Ludong The pride of the special zone, since the follow-up main force has already felt the battlefield. Then it’s time for us to settle the accounts with Zhang Chen’s defenders one by one, and speaking of this,” Chief of Staff Jiang Baili’s face directly revealed With a dignified expression.He ordered decisively to all regiment-level officers in the headquarters.

"Now, I will issue specific combat missions." The cavalry regiment immediately attacked, bypassed Zhangqiu City, and cut off all connections between Jinan and Zhangqiu with the advantage of the cavalry.At the same time, try to annihilate all reinforcements from Jinan City..."

"The First Combat Group, attached to the artillery battalion of the First Howitzer Regiment under the Heavy Artillery Brigade, continues to attack Zhangqiu City from the front. The entire siege battle is still under the command of Commander Zhang..."

With the reinforcement of the regiment's mountain artillery battalion, the "secret service group" launched an attack from the south gate of Zhangqiu. Corps, attached to a battalion of the [-]st Howitzer Regiment, launched an attack from the West Gate of Zhangqiu..."

"This time, I will wipe out all the defenders of Zhangqiu in the city. Through this siege battle, I will severely frighten Han Fuqu located in Jinan City, and help the army to perform this "Xiangzhuang Sword Dance, ………”

"The last one: All combat troops, after receiving the order" immediately rushed to their combat positions...Because the troops marched continuously and were too tired, I will give you five hours to prepare...Five hours later, that is, five in the morning At exactly one o'clock, the four attacking troops launched an attack on the Zhangqiu defenders at the same time... and strived to enter Zhangqiu City within half an hour... and within two hours, the battle was completely over and Zhangqiu City was occupied..."

"Yes, Staff

......"

The Ninth Army had tens of thousands of elite soldiers and appeared on the battlefield with a large number of heavy artillery.It is impossible to hide such a big target from the eyes of the Zhangqiu defenders. Besides, as the commander-in-chief of this siege, Jiang Baili, in order to better deter Han Fuqu and perform well in "Xiangzhuang Sword Dance, this good show , from the very beginning," he had no intention of concealing the news of his arrival.

The Zhangqiu garrison headquarters saw a steady stream of intelligence from the reconnaissance troops.Teacher Zhang Sundao's facial expression immediately became serious.

After a quick glance at the subordinates in front of him, Zhang Sundao, who had a sullen face, said in a deep voice: "Everyone, as everyone expected, the reinforcements of the Ninth Army have arrived. Not only that, this reinforcements also carry There are at least fifty large-caliber artillery pieces. The last one is the last thing everyone wants to see. The entire Zhangqiu City has been completely surrounded by heavy troops from the Ninth Army. At the same time, the land connection between us and Jinan City is also difficult. Cut off by a cavalry regiment of the Ninth Army."

After the voice fell, the small headquarters became an uproar...

The reinforcements of the Ninth Army have arrived, and Zhangqiu City is also surrounded by the opponent. These battle-tested veterans are very clear.At this moment, there are only two paths left in front of them: live and die with Zhangqiu City, and be wiped out by the Ninth Army in Zhangqiu City. Surrender... Looking at the subordinates with different expressions, Zhang Sundao certainly understood what everyone was thinking, and reminded with a serious face: "Brothers, there is no way out, what should I do, I believe, everyone has already figured it out. But , what I want to remind everyone is, don't forget the commander's kindness to us people..."

Speaking of this, after quickly glanced at the subordinates in front of him, their faces suddenly became quite sad.

The topic changed, and he continued to speak: "However, I, Zhang Sundao, am not a ruthless person. Here, I would like to give you a suggestion. In the face of the Ninth Army's attack, in order to repay the provincial [chairman] for his kindness, all ministries You must swear to defend the fortifications. However, if the fortifications are breached by the Ninth Army, I allow everyone to surrender to the Ninth Army.[

Because we all know that once the city defenses are breached, the Ninth Army will enter the city.Even if we continue to resist, there is no point in the slightest..."

"I would like to obey the order of the master..."

Under the anxious waiting of both the enemy and us, the deafening bombardment of "Boom Boom" broke the silence on the battlefield for five hours and announced to everyone that the Ninth Army began to attack Zhangqiu, which was heavily defended by Han Fuqu's troops. A real attack like never before.

A howitzer regiment, two mountain artillery battalions, plus mortars of various calibers, and more than [-] artillery pieces... joined the bombardment of Zhangqiu City from different directions.

Especially the East Gate, which was heavily bombarded by a howitzer battalion and a mountain artillery battalion.Immediately, it was shrouded by intense artillery fire and gunpowder smoke. As time went on, amidst the continuous explosion of shells weighing more than ten kilograms, a huge gap finally appeared in the city wall of Zhangqiu City that had been in disrepair for a long time. …………

"Booming" after more than a dozen consecutive shells fell into the gap.The city wall, which was still standing in front of the Ninth Army just now, and was stationed with heavy defenders, immediately began to collapse to both sides.A huge roar resounded, and a huge gap with a width of more than 20 meters appeared directly on the city wall, which was no more than five meters high...

"Brothers, in order to win, rush into the city and kill!" A well-equipped infantry company patted the loose "three-three" offensive formation and jumped out of the offensive position.Then, facing both ends of the gap, he continued to "shoot" bullets at himself, while throwing grenades, creating gunpowder smoke on the offensive road, while charging forward! ! !
