Rebirth of the Republic of China: The Rise of China

The cavalry assault guard group occupying Zhangqiu attacked the position, watching the increasingly dense blocking firepower on both sides of the gap in the city wall.The troops of an assault company were also suppressed by firepower, lying in front of the position, unable to move.Head Zhang Huxiao, whose expression became more and more solemn, ordered decisively: "Chief of Staff, pass down the order: the howitzer battalion, start to extend artillery fire into the city along the direction of the gap...>

"In addition, notify the mortar group to divide it into two, suppress the enemy's firepower on the walls at both ends of the gap, and wipe out all the enemies on the wall within the fortifications. Tell the artillery battalion commander Zhang, the task I gave the artillery battalion Very simple, with the gap as the center, within a range of 100 meters around, I don't want to see any enemy fire points... >

"Yes, group seat...>

As soon as the bombardment direction was adjusted, nearly a hundred shells were divided into four and flew in four different directions...

The gap with a width of 20 meters faced the full fire of a mountain artillery battalion.It took less than a minute to be completely enveloped by thick gunpowder smoke... >

On the city walls at both ends of the gap, facing the fierce baptism of a round of 54 mortar shells with a rate of fire of [-] rounds per minute, they also did not last for too long.The two long sections of the city wall were shrouded in artillery fire and gunpowder smoke in an instant.Of course, the dense rain of bullets "shot" from the two sections of the city wall also slowly disappeared with the sound of shell explosions... >

"Brothers, the artillery has helped us blast an offensive channel. Next, it's up to all of us... >

150m...>

30m...>

"Da da da...>

"Regiment, the assault company has entered...>

"It's almost time...>

The officers and soldiers of the Second Security Division of Han Fuqu, for the sake of their own lives, implemented the suggested orders of Zhang Sundao, the seat of the division, very thoroughly...>

The assault company of the guard regiment had just poured into Zhangqiu City. More than 1000 officers and soldiers defending the fortifications on the east side of Zhangqiu, under the orders of their respective officers, stopped resisting and knelt down and surrendered to the swarming attacking troops of the guard regiment.

The defense line at the east gate of Zhangqiu City was breached by the guard regiment, and the news spread that a large number of troops from the Ninth Army had poured into the city.On the other three walls, they still struggled to resist just now, using intensive firepower to continuously shoot and kill the officers and soldiers of the Second Security Division of Han Fuqu Department who resisted the pace of the siege troops.Under the inexplicable gaze of the siege troops, they stopped counterattacking and raised white flags symbolizing their surrender on the battlefield...>

The second security division of Han Fuqu Department, the former Zhangqiu garrison regiment, has a total strength of more than 1 people.Except for the more than [-] people who died on the battlefield due to various reasons.The remaining [-] people, including the division commander Zhang Sundao, all became prisoners of the Ninth Army.

As the last east gate of Jinan, Zhangqiu City finally fell into the hands of Li Guosheng after a two-day siege by the Ninth Army.

Occupying Zhangqiu City, Jinan, the capital city of Shandong Province, which is less than [-] kilometers away from Zhangqiu, is directly under Jiang Baili's command and under the direct threat of more than [-] elite soldiers from the Ninth Army...>

Jinan Han Fuqu Headquarters faced the battle report in hand.As a battle-tested old Jiang, Han Fuqu's ruddy face unexpectedly turned pale from fright.Staring at a pair of big eyes, staring at the battle report in his hand that he had read countless times, he muttered to himself: "Zhang Qiu, Zhang Qiu, who was heavily defended, was just lost like this...>

Seeing the depressed Han Fuqu in front of him, he thought about the more than 1 elite of the Ninth Army who had already occupied Zhangqiu and might march westward at any time and threaten Jinan City.Although I know that talking to Han Fuqu now is a very unwise choice.However, for the sake of his political and military life to continue under Han Fuqu's command, it is also for his own wealth and life.Chief of Staff Zhang Ling had no choice but to bite the bullet and remind him.

"Please calm down, Commander, I think that now is not the time for us to be sad... >

"Without the barrier of Zhangqiu, more than 1 elite soldiers of the Ninth Army may march west from Zhangqiu at any time, threatening Jinan City...>

After the words fell, a gloomy murderous look flashed across Han Fuqu's tired face.

After quickly sorting out the chaotic thoughts in his mind, this weather-beaten battlefield veteran immediately cheered up when faced with the reminder from his subordinates, and said in a deep voice: "You are right, Chief of Staff, the urgent delay It is to defend Jinan City, to keep our lair...>

After finishing speaking, he turned his gaze to the map hanging on the wall, and said, "Chief of Staff, where has the reinforcements closest to Jinan City gone...>

"Commander, in order to guard against possible conspiracy behind the decisive battle of the Ninth Army, under your order, the [-] troops who were ordered to reinforce Jinan City did not march in a hurry...>

"However, before this main division, there were already two independent regiments, less than [-] kilometers away from Jinan City...>

In the face of the real threat of more than 1 elites of the Ninth Army, for the safety of his own life, and for the family property he has saved for half a lifetime of hard work.Han Fuqu, who was a little frightened, didn't care about the possible conspiracy of the Ninth Army against him.Facing the Chief of Staff Zhang Ling, he ordered impatiently.

"Then what are you still doing in a daze, why don't you order all the reinforcements to speed up the march, rush to Jinan quickly, and participate in the battle to defend Jinan City...>

"Yes, Commander...>

Compared with Han Fuqu's nervousness and eagerness, because of the unexpected surrender of the enemy's Second Security Division on the battlefield, Jiang Baili, chief of staff who easily occupied Zhangqiu City at a negligible cost.Sitting in the seat that originally belonged to Zhang Sundao, the commander of the Second Security Division, seemed extremely relaxed.Especially after receiving the telegram from the Military Department's forwarding office that 'the enemy has reinforced the various units in Jinan City, and they have accelerated their march to Jinan City', a rare relaxed smile appeared directly on Jiang Baili's rarely smiling face.

"It seems that our 'Xiangzhuang Sword Dance' has completely attracted the attention of the old fox Han Fuqu...>

"Attend...>

Facing Zhang Huxiao's question, Jiang Baili was in a good mood, and immediately thought of another confession made by the army commander Li Guosheng to him before he left: "This decisive battle is aimed at "Xiangzhuang Sword Dance" on the one hand, and it will be a show for Han Fuqu. Good show. On the other hand, during the process of the enemy's reinforcements to Jinan, they attacked from multiple directions and went deep into the hinterland of Han Fuqu, eating up a large number of Han Fuqu's limited troops. For a long period of time in the future, it will not be able to attack the entire Shandong due to insufficient troops. East Threat... >

Suddenly, a serious expression quickly appeared on the face of Chief of Staff Jiang Baili.Facing the expectant group leaders, he let out a cold snort, and said, "Of course I won't stay in Zhangqiu City and do nothing...>

"Besides, since the establishment of the Ninth Army, when will I let the fat that has reached my mouth slip away again... >

The Tai'an Independent Regiment under Han Fuqu's department, because two-thirds of the soldiers in the regiment are veterans, the combat effectiveness of the entire independent regiment, under Han Fuqu's command, can definitely be ranked first.After receiving the combat order from Han Fuqu requesting the troops to march quickly and rush to Jinan City.The regiment of more than [-] people discarded all their belongings directly under the order of the regiment leader Xu Wenlie.Carrying only weapons and ammunition, they trotted towards Jinan City for reinforcements.

As time went by, after an hour of rapid march.The mighty marching ranks had already turned into chaos.However, because the entire marching route is in the hinterland of Han Fuqu's jurisdiction, officers at all levels turned a blind eye to the completely chaotic troop formation on the road, without any defensive formation, and closed their eyes. Without too many constraints on subordinates... >

The chaos stretched for 800 meters, and there was no order in the chaotic formation. In addition, all the officers and soldiers were panting and tired from the long march.It is conceivable that if such an infantry on the road is suddenly attacked by a cavalry unit, what kind of tragic ending will it have.There is no doubt: the people who were killed by the cavalry didn't even have a chance to fight back.

As an old subordinate who has fought with Han Fuqu for several years, he is Xu Wenlie, the head of the Tai'an Independent Regiment.She, who has experienced many battles, of course knows the ending.

However, in his eyes, this situation would never happen to him.Correspondingly, this kind of ending will not happen to one's own troops.Especially after learning that Jinan City, which is the capital of Shandong Province and is stationed with heavy troops, is only two hours away from him.He directly scoffed at the idea that 'the troops may be attacked by the enemy'.

Ever since, in order to better complete Han Fuqu's combat order of 'must rush to Jinan City within four hours'.The head of the regiment, Xu Wenlie, directly gave up the vigilance that the troops should have and the minimum marching form of the troops.

However, what Xu Wenliewei did not expect was that because of his carelessness and blind self-confidence, a large number of elites including his subordinates were directly buried under the iron hooves and sabers of a battalion of the cavalry regiment...>

When the two thousand officers and soldiers of the independent regiment headed by Xu Wenlie swarmed in the direction of Jinan City along the highway in chaos.What all the officers and soldiers didn't realize was that the ground under their feet had started to tremble slightly unconsciously.

Riding on a horse, Xu Wenlie, the head of the regiment in the middle of the formation, under the influence of the troops, did not undergo such a slight change at all because of his blind self-confidence.However, the regiment chief of staff with a keen sense of smell found something unusual... >

With the passage of ten seconds, the slightly trembling ground has been replaced by a faint roar.The facial expression of the chief of staff of the regiment was directly replaced by solemnity.Facing Xu Wenlie who was beside him, he frowned and reminded with a worried face. [

"Tuanza, listen, there seems to be something in front of you... >

What made the entire independent group tragic was that the chief of staff's reminder was directly passed by the blind and confident head Xu Wenlie.Facing the chief of staff with a worried expression on his face, he said arrogantly: "Chief of staff, did you hear wrong...>

"Besides, we have only more than an hour's journey left to Jinan City. Even if there is a sound at such a short distance from Jinan City, it is from the troops in Jinan City who are responsible for welcoming us... >

"Tuan Zuo is right, maybe I am really too tired, thinking too much... >

And at this moment, the roar that was still faint just now has become louder and louder as time goes by.Not only the chief of staff, but even the confident and arrogant leader Xu Wenlie subconsciously raised his binoculars and looked in the direction of the sound...

Immediately, a trace of cold sweat surfaced directly on the face of the team leader Xu Wenlie, who had turned pale in an instant.

"Cavalry, yes cavalry...>

Then, something seemed to come to mind.Directly facing the chaotic formation in front and behind, he roared loudly: "The orderly...>

Commander Xu Wenlie issued the order in a timely manner, but he seemed to have forgotten that at this moment, because of his carelessness, the army was in chaos... >

In a noisy and chaotic marching queue, his orders could not be completed in a short time even if they were passed on.And in this short period of time, the mighty attacking figure of five hundred cavalry from the first battalion of the cavalry regiment had appeared in the sight of two thousand officers and soldiers of the Tai'an Independent Regiment.

The organization was in chaos, and there were no two thousand officers and soldiers who received any effective orders.Facing the mighty cavalry unit rushing towards him, the first thing he showed was panic.

And at this moment, a large number of submachine guns equipped by the cavalry regiment had already shot a burst of hot flames at the frightened infantry formation on the road...>

"Boom...>

An infantry company marching at the forefront of the entire formation, before reacting from the shock, was hit by dozens of submachine guns with devastating blows... >

The powerful horseshoes stepped directly into the road strewn with corpses.With the knights on their backs, they rushed towards the rear formation of the independent regiment with an unstoppable momentum.

And at this moment, the cavalry who played with a shuttle of submachine gun bullets was strafed.Subconsciously pulled out the saber, raised it high, the blade moved forward, ready to slash forward... >

"Cavalry battalion, kill...>

"Kill...>
