Rebirth of the Republic of China: The Rise of China

221 Battle of Jiyang, famous in Shandong

The first battle of Jiyang was famous in Shandong

He watched helplessly that the mountain artillery regiment, which he had always regarded as a treasure, was quickly shrouded in intense artillery fire and gunpowder smoke in just one minute, and he didn't even have time to react.Teacher Huang Shiwen was stunned by the shock.In my heart, there was also a monstrous wave of anxiety caused by worry... >

With such a fierce and intensive artillery fire, and such a powerful shell, how large an artillery unit is it that can produce such a huge power in such a short period of time...>

However, thinking about it, Huang Shiwen has not forgotten his current situation...>

The enemy mobilized such a large-scale artillery unit at one time, is it because they want to eat their own mountain artillery regiment.This result, not to mention others, even Huang Shiwen himself can't believe it... >

Since it wasn't for the Shanpao regiment, but also attacked himself at this time.This unknown army with such a powerful artillery unit...>

However, as the number one main division under Han Fuqu's command, even without the Shanpao Regiment.In terms of strength and equipment, they are far superior to the major divisions in the country today.Does the Ninth Army, which has penetrated into its own hinterland, have the ability to eat itself?A confident smile quickly appeared on Mr. Huang Shiwen's face...>

At this moment, with only two rounds of artillery fire, with the help of a large number of ammunition vehicles from the enemy's logistics force, the commander of the enemy's mountain artillery regiment, Wang Dongxing, was successfully destroyed.Looking at the enemy mountain artillery regiment that had been completely shrouded in flames and gunpowder smoke, while excited, he directly issued an order to transfer the bombing target.

"Boom boom boom... >

There was a dense explosion, and more than [-] orange fireballs shot up directly on the road.Of course, along with the rising of the fireball, there were also a large number of broken limbs and arms of officers and soldiers who were blown up by shells, corpses one by one...>

In short, after the explosion of more than [-] shells, dozens of huge holes appeared directly on the road that was still densely packed with officers and soldiers just now.As for the soldiers within the hollow range, they were either blown into a pile of minced meat, or they were shocked to death on the battlefield amidst the sound of the shell explosion, or they were unfortunately hit by shell fragments and turned into corpses... >

Although the howitzer shells are powerful, in a formation that stretches several kilometers, the range he can affect is only one kilometer at most, or even less.

The other sections of the road that stretched for several kilometers were not affected by the shelling, especially the officers and soldiers in the first half of the entire main division, because it took time to transmit orders, and they had not received the dispersal order in time.The mountain artillery battalions, mortar companies, and mortar platoons of the various regiments that have already moved into place joined this decisive shelling at the same time...>

There was another sharp whistling sound, and the second round directly exceeded [-] rounds of various shells, lined up, like rain, falling on the long and narrow road...>

Immediately, a fireball stretching for several kilometers, accompanied by a large number of broken limbs and blood rain, began to soar over the road.

At this moment, after experiencing the baptism of artillery fire.Officers at all levels who were completely veterans reacted from shock and consternation.Regardless of the superior's order, he directly roared and ordered his subordinates to start anti-three concealment to the wasteland on the side of the road to avoid artillery attacks... >

The densely packed soldiers faced the densely packed shells like raindrops.Under the yelling of officers at all levels, they rushed to the wilderness on the side of the road to hide.A scene of despair appeared that none of the officers and soldiers, including the enemy commander Huang Shiwen, could have imagined... >

It was still a peaceful wasteland just now, about 300 meters away from the road, a row of densely packed gun barrels suddenly appeared... >

The densely packed enemy army just rushed down the road and was about to take cover.Tongues of scorching flames came out of the densely packed gun barrels without warning...>

Such a dense machine gun fire point, coupled with countless rifle barrels in the middle.Shooting together, in just the blink of an eye, an airtight bullet net directly faces the enemy officers and soldiers who are swarming towards them...>

Massacre... In just a few seconds, the scene on the right side of the road can be described by the word 'massacre'.

Facing the impenetrable bomb net, these unprepared enemy officers and soldiers fell to the ground after being shot as if hitting a wall specially designed to harvest their lives...>

The destruction of the Mountain Artillery Regiment directly caused the direct loss of thousands of people because of the explosion of a large number of heavy ammunition vehicles...>

An elite infantry division that claimed to be invincible in the world lost one-third of its troops in just a few minutes without even knowing the enemy's strength.As the teacher's commander, Huang Shiwen, although he escaped several rounds of attacks in a row, he was very lucky to be fired.However, in a bad mood, he wished that at this moment, he had already been hit by an enemy bullet and died without knowing anything.

However, since he is not dead.After a short period of shock, Huang Shiwen reacted immediately, fulfilled his duties as a division commander, commanded the troops, and escaped from this area as much as possible...>

Through the chief of staff's analysis, Huang Shiwen, who quickly recognized the situation in front of him, was very surprised to find that: just from the perspective of battlefield selection, the opponent he was about to face was a very sophisticated master.

On the east side of the road is the Yellow River that he cannot cross; The opponent's goal is to annihilate him completely, so he must deploy a large number of heavy troops to stand in front of him.

All passages were blocked, and the top of the head was almost unable to lift his head due to the impenetrable rain of bullets on the west side of the road, plus the raindrops of shells falling around him.

After being surprised, Huang Shiwen knew very well that he was facing such a sharp blow.If you don't break through immediately, there is only one ending waiting for you: as time goes by, the limited troops in your hands will definitely be completely consumed by the opponent.

"Break out, you must break out immediately..." Huang Shiwen ordered decisively.

"Order the vanguard brigade, at all costs, to open a breakthrough from the front, must be quick... >

"Yes, Master...>

Under the command of their respective officers, using all available weapons, even the corpses of their comrades on the ground, they quickly established simple defensive positions one after another based on the road, and began to launch an orderly counterattack.

The vanguard brigade, which lost thousands of soldiers, did not disappoint Huang Shiwen.Within 5 minutes after the order was issued, all the mortars and heavy machine guns of the whole brigade were concentrated.Of course, almost a death squad of an infantry battalion was also quickly formed.

"Boom boom boom... >

Under the cover of intensive artillery fire, the officers and soldiers of the Ninth Army on the blocking position seemed to be suppressed by the artillery fire and lost their ability to fight back.Up to a distance of 100 meters, the blocking position completely shrouded in gunpowder smoke still did not fire a single bullet.

The captain of the death squad, the commander of the vanguard brigade, and even the division commander Huang Shiwen... When the death squad was getting closer and closer to the blocking position, it was like seeing the hope of victory, and when a smile slowly appeared on his face, an accident happened …

In the thick gunpowder smoke, at least forty hot tongues of machine gun flames suddenly shot out.The hundreds of death squads who are so close to the blocking position, without any preparation and reaction time, face such intensive firepower.It was directly like the felled wheat, being shot to the ground in pieces.

While the light and heavy machine guns were firing, the artillery of at least one mortar company also quickly tore off the camouflage, and at the fastest rate of fire, quickly poured raindrops of mortar shells into the artillery positions temporarily built by the vanguard brigade .

The more than 20 mortars assembled by the Vanguard Brigade have not had time to transfer, and they were completely destroyed in round after round of artillery fire...>

Dozens of mortars are gone, and there are not many hundreds of death squads left.Faced with such a sharp counterattack, the avant-garde brigade, which suffered heavy losses, immediately lost the courage to continue attacking.

"Order the vanguard brigade to continue the assault and open a breakthrough at all costs...>

Losing the cover of mortars, facing the Qingzhou garrison's superior firepower and fierce counterattack from artillery fire, two consecutive battalion-level attacks, without exception, all ended in heavy losses.

At this moment, Huang Shiwen, the division commander who clearly saw everything in front of him, had to admit a fact: Facing the fierce counterattack of the Ninth Army, his way of breaking through the siege had been completely blocked...

There is no way to break through. So far, Huang Shiwen, who has not thought about surrendering on the battlefield, has only one way out: stick to it and wait for help...>

"Order the vanguard brigade, don't fight anymore... In the absence of firepower superiority, this kind of attack, >

Then, he seemed to think of something, and asked the chief of staff: "Chief of staff, is there any reply from the headquarters...>

"Division, the command requested us to break out immediately...>

"Breakthrough is hopeless...>

"Yes, Master...>

Thousands of elite guards and rear guards trot along the road, and quickly gather towards the team... >

Frowning, he ordered directly to the communications staff behind him.

"The enemy wants to hold...>

The order had just been issued, and the sound of roaring cannons had sounded orderly on the battlefield.

At the same time, a staff officer quickly walked behind Jiang Baili and reported: "Chief of Staff, the cavalry battalion investigating the direction of Jinan has sent a telegram...>

"A regiment dares to come to die...>

Then, he ordered another combat staff officer behind him: "Staff Wang, please immediately remind the commanders on the battlefield that the enemy's reinforcements are coming soon, and all departments must resolve the battle as soon as possible... >

The voice fell, and the battle against the enemy's central army has entered a white-hot state due to the continuous shelling.

Facing the attack of a whole howitzer regiment, the improvised defense line built by a brigade of the enemy was torn to pieces without even holding on to two rounds of artillery fire.Soldiers were ruthlessly thrown into the sky by artillery fire, and then were instantly torn into pieces in the air.Soldiers, facing the huge shock wave generated by the shell explosion, were shocked to death on the spot before they could react... >

Round after round, 10 minutes, that is, after a full fifty rounds of artillery fire.The highway, which was baptized by 1000 to [-] shells before and after, has become full of bomb craters and devastated, and it does not look like it did before the war...>

An infantry brigade guarding the side of Master Huang Shiwen, at this moment, there are only more than [-] people left who can continue to fight.However, what made Huang Shiwen feel desperate was that after experiencing the unprecedented baptism of artillery fire just now, the two thousand soldiers with dull eyes and panic had lost the courage to continue to resist in a short period of time... >

"Brothers, although we are engineers...>

"Rush to the ground and capture Huang Shiwen alive...>

"Brothers, go...>

Already completely discouraged, even the division commander Huang Shiwen gradually lost the courage to continue to resist in the face of such a fierce artillery attack.The charge of the engineering corps can be said to be overwhelming... >

In less than 15 minutes, the remaining [-] people in a brigade of the Chinese army became prisoners of war in the hands of the engineering regiment...>

The division commander Huang Shiwen was captured, and there was no trace of the reinforcements.The remaining two infantry brigades, facing the threat of the heavy artillery regiment, didn't even have the courage to persevere, so they raised their hands and surrendered...>

Han Fuqu's most elite number one main force division has been wiped out. In the entire Shandong Province, which army dares to confront Jiang Baili...

The results of the battle spread, and the entire Shandong Province became an uproar... >

Facing the threat of Jiang Baili's powerful army, all the troops heading to Jinan City, without exception, acted like turtles and marched towards Jinan City bit by bit.As for the troops that have entered Jinan City, under the order of the equally timid Han Fuqu, they also retreated in Jinan City, not daring to confront Jiang Baili head-on...>
