Rebirth of the Republic of China: The Rise of China

Bloody Heze Garrison Brigade

"Master, this is the casualty report of the troops along the way..." Chen Shaochuan, chief of staff directly appointed by the military headquarters of the temporary headquarters of the garrison outside Heze City, walked in with a solemn expression, took out a list, and said.

After a quick glance at the data on the report, even if he was mentally prepared.Teacher Zhu Shengda was still taken aback by the bloody data on the report, and couldn't help but exclaimed: "So many..."

"Yes, division seat... 248 people were killed and seriously injured in the first regiment... 297 people were killed and seriously injured in the second regiment... 201 people were killed and seriously injured in the third regiment... the whole division, a total of 788 people lost due to various reasons Combat strength, of which 641 people died in battle alone..." Chen Shaochuan replied.

"Damn it... It's really 'born to die first', without even encountering the shadow of the enemy's main force, so many people have been lost... It seems that the next battle we are about to face is really like a military seat As I said, it was an unprecedented bloody battle... However, such a large loss of troops along the way is not a bad thing for our army composed entirely of recruits..." After a while of cursing, Zhu Shengda's face was serious With an expression on his face, he slowly began to relax, and said. [

In the case of a heavy loss of troops, it is still good for oneself... .

For this unheard of, unexpected conclusion.Chief of Staff Chen Shaochuan's face was directly shrouded in a strong expression of doubt.Without hesitation, he asked about "sex".

"Master, I don't understand what you mean..."

Having said that, the teacher Zhu Shengda's facial expression unexpectedly gradually became solemn.Facing the puzzled chief of staff, Shen Sheng explained.

"Chief of Staff, I don't know if you have noticed... When our division just dispatched troops, there was almost a sense of pride and complacency in the entire army. Although our subordinates have basically never been on the battlefield, but. Through the front line, there are endless rumors The good news when we came back directly made these recruits think that the enemy we need to fight is very weak. As long as we go to the main attack, we will definitely defeat the enemy. Slowly, this kind of pride and complacency began to pervade the whole division. Come on. Even some of our officers are in that mood."

"As the saying goes, a proud soldier is bound to be defeated... I can say with certainty that if our garrison division really fights against the Heze garrison brigade with such emotions, no matter how sophisticated the equipment is. In a powerful artillery unit, the final result is only one , that ends with our paleness..."

"But now, through the casualties along the way, through the comrades who are constantly killed by the enemy's guns. These bloody facts have unconsciously changed the minds of these recruits. Let them begin to pay attention to their opponents and understand their opponents. Powerful. Finally, don't ruin your "life" because of pride and complacency on the battlefield. At the same time, it also increases their "adaptability" and resilience to the real battlefield... "

On the face of Chief of Staff Chen Shaochuan, there was an expression of sudden enlightenment.Opening his mouth to support: "The division seat is right. From this aspect alone, the loss of an infantry battalion is a good thing for us... But, next..."

"The whole army, rest for one night, and clean up the Heze garrison brigade in the city tomorrow... In addition, notify all troops. Two guard posts must be sent out at night, and the strength of the patrol team must be doubled. No accidents. The cunning Heze garrison brigade will definitely not be willing to fight with us." Commander Zhu Shengda ordered in a deep voice.

"Yes, Master seat..."

The night is fleeting.Perhaps it was because they knew that the First Security Division was heavily guarded at night and could not carry out a sneak attack at all.The Heze garrison brigade stationed in the city directly gave up this kind of "suicide" sneak attack that was close to death.

At nine o'clock in the morning, the two regiments surrounding the other three city gates in Heze County were removed.The remaining three regiments of the First Security Division, the Field Artillery Regiment of the 26th Division, and the troops directly under the division headquarters... .A total of more than [-] elites, under the personal command of Commander Zhu Shengda, pressed down on the outermost blocking position of the Heze Garrison Brigade.

"Order the field artillery regiment to prepare for the enemy's blocking position for 5 minutes... After 5 minutes, dispatch a company to occupy the enemy's outer position..." Looking at the silent enemy's outer position several hundred meters away, the division commander Zhu Shengda, Shen voice commanded.

After the words fell, the artillery regiment equipped with 36 field guns began to roar...

In just five minutes, the 36 field artillery fired hundreds of large-caliber field artillery shells.Raising the binoculars again, it was just a quiet outer blocking position, but at this moment, it has become a ruin full of bomb craters and gunpowder smoke...

"Start the attack one by one, take down the enemy's outlying positions..." under the signal of the division commander Zhu Shengda.Liu Songping, the head of the third regiment, waved his hand to He Xinlin, the company commander next to him, and ordered.

"Brothers, use me in the first battle, use me to win.... Cover with machine guns, follow me..." Three infantry platoons, with combat groups as units, quickly spread out in front of the position.A group of three, lined up in three sparse and tricky 'three-three' offensive formations, covering each other, step by step to press towards the enemy's outer positions full of bullet craters...

As the most peripheral line of defense, there is no great defensive value at all.The enemy brigade commander, Gao Batian, did not deploy too many troops...There is only one infantry company, more than 120 people equipped with three light machine guns, scattered scattered in the position to defend.

The intensive and brief round of shelling just now, while destroying its crude position, also caused at least half of the casualties to more than 100 bandits.On the outer defense line still full of gunpowder smoke, more than 50 remaining defenders, under the greeting of company commander Tao Guanghan, all gathered together to discuss their next countermeasures... [

"Brother, in the bombardment just now, more than half of the brothers were directly killed and killed... I just counted, and there are only 53 left... What should we do next, brothers listen to the big brother..." A The platoon leader with the rank of second lieutenant on his shoulders dragged a wounded arm, and said with red eyes.

"Yes, brothers, listen to the big brother.... If the big brother tells us to die, we will die..." Another second lieutenant platoon leader who was obviously Tao Guanghan's confidant followed closely behind.

After 5 minutes of artillery fire, company commander Tao Guanghan's face was also blackened by gunpowder smoke.After waving his hand and stopping the subordinates who wanted to continue talking, he opened his mouth and said.

"Brothers, I believe everyone already understands our situation..."

"Facing the harsh military law of the brigade. If you retreat, there is only one dead end...Of course, some brothers may still have the idea of ​​surrendering to the Ninth Army. Here, what I want to advise everyone is: we must not forget our origins. Don't forget the various blood debts you bear. People like us, once surrendered to the Ninth Army, or captured by the Ninth Army. There is only one way left for us, and that is to be tortured to death by the Ninth Army... . . ”

"So. In my opinion, instead of being tortured to death by the enemy, or being shot by the Military Law Office for retreating without authorization, and being ridiculed by colleagues and brothers, it is better to be a hero. Fight with the Ninth Army, Before you die, how do you guys think about being a hero in front of your colleagues with two backs?"

"Fighted against the Ninth Army..."

"We all listened to the elder brother and fought with the Ninth Army... Whatever the elder brother says, we will do it..."

Company Commander Tao Guanghan's speech full of inducements and threats ended with dozens of subordinates who had followed him to "lick" their lives at the knife's edge since the days of bandits.Without the slightest hesitation.Immediately began to gear up, clamoring for a desperate effort...

"Okay, since the brothers believe me, let's fight with the Ninth Army... Let the Ninth Army know that we bandits are not so easy to bully... All of them. Put on a big knife and a grenade, let's see blood with a big knife In this way, teach the group of recruits in front of them a good lesson, and let them know how powerful our bandits are..." The company commander Tao Guanghan, who had the only way out, was left.Commanded with a murderous face.

The distance between the two armies was 150 meters, and there were more than 50 bandits on the defense line.Under the restraint of Tao Guanghan's eyes, he lay quietly in the incomplete trench without any movement... 100 meters, still no movement... . 50 meters, still no movement...

Looking at the forward position that is already close at hand, there is no sign of counterattack.A company of more than 100 recruits directly believed that the enemies on the ground had been wiped out by their own artillery fire.Of course, while being excited, it was already invisible, forgetting that he was on the battlefield.While speeding up the charge, he even forgot to throw the grenade at the very least, using gunpowder smoke to cover his offensive figure to avoid being hit by the defenders.

More than 100 people in a row are destined to pay the blood price for their arrogance and arrogance...

30 meters, has reached the best distance to rely on throwing grenades to further kill the enemy's vital force.

In normal times, if more than 100 grenades pass in a round, even if there are still hidden enemies in the position, they will pay a heavy price in this round of grenade rain.However, on the offensive road, it seems to be a bit carried away, skipping this key link directly...

Because of his own arrogance and the principal, Yilian forgot this crucial link.From the very beginning, there were more than 50 bandits who planned to engage in close combat with Yilian, but they did not forget.

Under the unbelievable eyes of all the officers and soldiers in the company, more than 50 grenades flew directly from the pit-filled position.After drawing a perfect arc in the air, he landed firmly in a continuous offensive formation...

The grenade exploded, and dozens of soldiers immediately fell on the charge road.It is conceivable that if it weren't for the sparse and proven "three-three" offensive formation of the company, the casualties of the company might have been even greater.

As the division commander Zhu Shengda said, although the test of marching all the way did not improve their actual combat ability.However, it has improved their adaptability and resilience on the battlefield.At this moment, the situation on the battlefield directly conformed to the prediction of the division commander Zhu Shengda.

The sound of the explosion directly reminded the officers and soldiers of the company who were still excited.

Hearing the continuous wailing of the wounded around them, the remaining hundred or so people in a row immediately took out the grenade, pulled out the grenade with anger on their face, and threw it out viciously.

More than a hundred grenades exploded, and the blocking position, which had just cleared of gunpowder smoke, was once again enveloped by the sound of explosions and thick gunpowder smoke.Of the more than 50 people under Tao Guanghan's command, after the baptism of this round of grenade rain, there were only less than 30 left. [

With the help of the explosion sound, the distance between the two armies was directly shortened to 20 meters.

Facing the company that was already close at hand, Tao Guanghan, who planned to engage in close combat, did not hesitate any longer.With a loud roar, he raised his big knife and led less than 30 men around him, rushed out of the trench, and rushed towards the three regiments who were getting closer and closer to him...

"Brothers, follow me, kill one to save money, kill two to earn one..."

"Brothers. Follow Big Brother to kill..."

More than 20 bandit-born officers and soldiers, with a murderous look on their faces, holding a big knife, rushed out of the position screaming...

Although the number of bandits is small, there are only more than 20 people.but.from them.But He Xinlin saw a burst of murderous intent that was only seen in the Japanese.He Xinlin couldn't help but jump in his heart.

Having experienced many battles, he knows very well that once a group of recruits under his command who have not experienced the test of blood and fire get mixed up with these 20 or more completely desperate bandits.Engage in close quarters hand-to-hand combat.These recruits behind him will definitely pay a very heavy price.

Thinking of this, he directly raised his submachine gun and roared loudly at the subordinates who were still in a daze beside him.Want to use bullets.Eliminate more than 20 bloody bandits on the opponent's counterattack road to avoid close combat.

"Submachine guns, all submachine guns fire immediately, block these enemies, fire..."

"Da da da..." The sudden intensive gunshots killed more than a dozen enemies in a short period of time.However, on such a close combat battlefield.There are still more than a dozen murderous bandits with red eyes, rushing into our army screaming...

"Kill..." A flash of swords flashed, and the submachine gunners who rushed to the forefront of the formation directly became the first victims of this hand-to-hand combat.Facing bandits with big knives.The few soldiers with submachine guns obviously did not have any advantage.Without even a chance to fight back, he was chopped down to the ground by the red-tasseled broadsword in the opponent's hand...

"It's a shit, what era is it? You still use a big knife..." Seeing the opponent in a blink of an eye, he gave Lian this a blow.After seeing behind.Facing the bloody corpses of his comrades-in-arms, his subordinates began to tremble slightly without knowing it.Company Commander He Xinlin's expression instantly became solemn.

Suppressing the worry that suddenly surged in my heart, I shouted at my subordinates: "Brothers, the brave wins when we meet on a narrow road. Don't forget, we are the invincible Ninth Army... Don't be afraid, we have many people. Even if you risk your life, you can kill them all on the battlefield...Brothers, give me a bayonet, destroy this gang of bandits, avenge the brothers who died in battle, kill..."

"Kill..." Facing the stimulation of the bloody smell on the battlefield, with the encouragement of the company commander, the bloody "spirit" hidden in the hearts of some soldiers was finally aroused.Staring at a ferocious face, holding a bayonet-mounted rifle in his hand, screaming and rushing towards the front, in the middle of a series of scattered attacking formations, rushing from left to right, killing a dozen bandits...

one by one….More than a dozen bandits were surrounded by a company of officers and soldiers with red eyes in the blink of an eye.

As the saying goes, two fists are hard to hit the fourth one, although the individual combat effectiveness of these bandits is strong.However, in the face of several bayonet raids in each round, even if they have three heads and six arms, it is impossible for them to parry... In less than a minute, more than a dozen bandits all turned into corpses covered in blood holes.

Of course, while more than a dozen bandits were wiped out, a dozen officers and soldiers in a company also fell dead or injured on the battlefield.

Behind the battlefield, the division commander Zhu Shengda, who had been paying attention to every move on the front line, breathed a sigh of relief.Facing the chief of staff beside him, he ordered with a serious face: "Old Chen, the forward position has been taken. Order the field artillery regiment to bombard the enemy's second line of defense immediately. After 10 minutes of shelling, there are two companies left in the first battalion. Launch an attack quickly and take down all the enemy's defense lines deployed outside the city."

"Yes, Master seat..."

The order was issued, and the sound of rumbling shell explosions resounded on the battlefield again.

Five minutes later, while the shelling was still going on, the first company that had retreated from the front line had already summarized the specific casualties in the hands of Chief of Staff Chen Shaochuan.

Looking at the battle report in his hand, Chen Shaochuan did not hide his emotions.Frowning tightly, he said with a solemn expression: "Master, after this battle, the three regiments and one company have been completely disabled..."

Unexpectedly, facing the loss of more than half of the casualties, instead of showing any dissatisfaction on the face of the division commander Zhu Shengda, he showed a meaningful smile and said: "Old Chen, you are wrong... Not only was Lian not killed They were disabled, but after this battle, Rui became a truly elite company of our [-]st Security Division..."

"Although the troops lost a lot, the surviving officers and soldiers, without exception, are the elite of the whole company. Not only that, these survivors are all veterans who have experienced the test of blood and fire... From now on, our three regiments One company is no longer a new army. As long as there are these veterans, the old will lead the new, and the future combat effectiveness of the company will rise at a linear speed... "

"Having said that, after a series of battles, I can be sure that this Heze garrison brigade will be a very tough nut to crack. Not surprisingly, when the battle is over, our division will definitely pay a very heavy price " After nodding his head noncommittally, Chen Shaochuan continued to speak with a solemn expression.

"You're right. To win the Heze garrison brigade, the price my first security division must pay will be very high. However, this is not a good opportunity for actual combat training... Although it is a bit cruel, However, if an army wants to truly develop and grow, and become a true iron-blooded elite, this must go through... "

"Think about the three field divisions under our Ludong Special Zone, as if they didn't have the few bloody battles with the Japanese army, could they have such a strong combat effectiveness... So, Lao Chen, although the process is cruel, we must go through it. As long as my first security division wants to grow and become a true iron-blooded elite..." Zhu Shengda replied firmly.

"Master is right, I am too kind..." Chen Shaochuan shook his head and said.
