Rebirth of the Republic of China: The Rise of China

Maiden Battle of the Armored Assault Battalion

"This Sun Lianzhong is worthy of being a famous general of the Northwest Army...>

"Commander-in-Chief, if the situation is really as Master Wang said: If you want to win Sun Lianzhong, a tough battle with the more than 1 Northwest Army seems inevitable...>

"Relying on the absolute superiority of our Ninth Army, through a tough battle, there is absolutely no problem in taking down more than 1 people under Sun Lianzhong's command. However, there is one thing you must not forget: the huge casualties caused by a tough battle , is definitely not something our Ninth Army can bear."

"Besides, what is the reason why our Ninth Army launched this battle? I won't say, you should know. After a tough battle, how many prisoners of war and benefits can we get from Sun Lianzhong after paying such a huge price ...>

Tough battles are not advisable, and the advantages of artillery fire and equipment cannot be brought into play.In front of Li Guosheng, it seemed that there was only one way left, which was to give up the battle plan to encircle and wipe out Sun Lianzhong's troops.

After hard work, even at the expense of using the air force, Sun Lianzhong was finally kept in Hengshui County.Now, just letting go of the fat that has been bitten into his mouth like this, one can imagine the pained look on Li Guosheng's face.

Seeing Li Guosheng, the commander-in-chief with a troubled face, and Liu Shaoqing, the adjutant of the staff, who also looked depressed, he couldn't help complaining: "If our officers and soldiers can be invulnerable, directly rush into Sun Lianzhong's headquarters, and capture him alive, then this battle will be fine." If you fight too much, you don't even need to fight. After some threats, the more than 1 Northwest Army in the city will surrender>

The speaker has no intention.The listener is interested.Although Liu Shaoqing's words were just a complaint, but in Li Guosheng's ears, it directly became a golden and jaded word.

Isn't the invulnerable army just the armored brigade that I carefully built?

Although it is said that armored forces are not suitable for street fighting.but.This conclusion also depends on the specific combat objectives of the armored forces.For foreign troops who have anti-armor training, street fighting is definitely the grave of armored troops.However, for those without any anti-armor training.Even for the Northwest Army, which has never seen an armored combat vehicle.Even in street fighting, your own armored forces will become invincible...>

An unstoppable and invincible armored force.Enter Hengshui County, relying on its rapid assault capabilities.Straight into Sun Lianzhong's headquarters in Hengshui, destroying the command system of more than 1 soldiers of the Northwest Army.Let’s not talk about whether this beheading operation will be successful. What is certain is that as long as the armored troops enter Hengshui County, it will definitely have a huge impact on the morale of the entire Northwest Army, and even affect its courage and will to continue to resist... >

Soon, a specific battle idea came to Li Guosheng's mind.

The offensive and defensive battles that took place in Hengshui County.Because Wang Guoli's troops failed in the first battle, after a whole night, there was no real exchange of fire.The entire battlefield, after a night of confrontation, is only superficial.Seems to be slowly calming down.

However, as long as it is a soldier, it is clear that all kinds of undercurrents are hidden behind this calmness.Both the enemy and the enemy.They are all accumulating strength for the upcoming battle, preparing to give the opponent a fatal blow.

over time.Sun Lianzhong, the commander of the Northwest Army, no longer saw the smile on his face when he wiped out thousands of enemies.The longer the battlefield was silent, the more serious the expression slowly shrouded Sun Lianzhong's face.

Because I couldn't sleep, I was at the headquarters, waiting anxiously for several hours.A long sigh finally broke the silent atmosphere of the headquarters.The division commander, Sun Lianzhong, asked in a deep voice to the chief of staff who was also guarding the headquarters: "Chief of staff, it has been such a long time, is there still no movement from the Ninth Army outside the city?"

"No, since the end of an offensive and defensive battle last night, the Ninth Army outside the city has not made any other movements except for the necessary defensive mobilization...>

"The cunning Ninth Army, don't they want to stop in silence, wait for us to do it first...>

"Impossible. The Ninth Army is an offensive force with more than [-] mercenaries. How could it be possible to stagnate because of the casualties of more than a thousand people last night...>

"Master, what do you mean...>

"No matter what conspiracy the Ninth Army has, our general combat policy must never change: Through street fighting, while weakening the equipment and firepower advantages of the Ninth Army, at the same time consume a large amount of the enemy's vital forces and stand by for help." Division Commander Sun Lian Zhong, ordered with a firm tone.

While Sun Lianzhong, the commander of the enemy division, was anxiously waiting at the headquarters in Hengshui County, Wang Guoli, the commander of the 25th division, also waited anxiously for the arrival of Li Guosheng, the commander-in-chief.

"Boom... >

Under the shocked eyes of Wang Guoli and others, the first three medium-sized tanks escorted an armored command vehicle, and stopped firmly in front of Wang Guoli and others.

The door of the armored command vehicle opened, and the commander-in-chief Li Guosheng got out directly.

As for armored vehicles, Wang Li, a senior general of the Ninth Army, was of course very familiar with them.However, familiarity is familiarity, and it is the first time that I have really come into contact with these tanks at close range, especially the three medium tanks that have been specially modified by the arsenal.

After greeting Li Guosheng, Wang Guoli never left the three medium tanks with his eyes.Seeing Wang Guoli, including the fiery eyes of a group of subordinates behind Wang Guoli, Li Guosheng smiled and nodded, indicating that the other party can go over and get close to these chariots.

subsequently.Hundreds of officers and soldiers who received Wang Guoli's signal rushed towards the three tanks with beaming faces.The division commander, Wang Guoli, was not spared either. With an expectant expression, he quickly walked to the tank.

The medium tank in front of me, and the original imported tank I saw for the first time.There is a very clear difference.It used to look like pretty solid armor.After some modification in the arsenal, it looks darker and thicker at first glance.As for "touching", there is a feeling of cold piercing my heart.Straight to the heart.

Of course, Wang Guoli, who was born as an infantryman, is not the armor protection ability that he values ​​most, but the firepower equipment of the chariot...>

Supported on the top of the tank turret, it is a dual-purpose machine gun with a caliber of 12 mm.A 75mm tank gun with a thicker and longer muzzle than before.front of body.Two wings, a heavy machine gun installed separately...>

After some emotion, Wang Li, who was more and more confident in this war because the armored battalions were in place one after another, said directly: "Commander-in-Chief, I can be sure of my humble position. There are armored battalions participating in the battle. Annihilate Sun Lianzhong's troops in the city, For my Ninth Army, just around the corner... >

Two hours later, the morning sun rose from the east, covering the entire land.Back to the light again.Everyone on the battlefield was just bathing in the sunshine. The mortar group under the 25th Division raised its dark muzzle again.

"Fire...>

Five hundred mortars, thousands of gunners.Like an angry lion, it began to roar at Hengshui County.The dense rain of mortar shells followed closely behind and appeared over Hengshui County.

"The battle has finally begun. Order all the troops at the front to find fighters on their own. Regardless of the gains and losses of a city or a place, the ultimate combat goal is to wipe out a large number of the Ninth Army's vital forces, and start operations...>

"Yes, Master...>

Although the chief of staff was a little worried about the Ninth Army's long-lost attack overnight, he was afraid that the Ninth Army would make an announcement in the next day and not play cards according to common sense.However, with the encouragement of a victory yesterday evening, the chief of staff, including all senior officers of the entire division, is full of hope for today's battle.

Through ubiquitous street fighting, the Ninth Army's equipment and firepower advantages were weakened.Then, in the street fighting, a large number of active forces of the Ninth Army's offensive troops were killed, and the Ninth Army was "forced" to retreat with heavy casualties...>

The East Gate of Hengshui County, which is the main attack direction of the Ninth Army, directly stationed the First Elite Brigade under Sun Lianzhong.Last night's battle, as the most elite First Infantry Brigade of the whole division, also achieved the greatest results among all brigades: with more than 430 casualties, more than [-] offensive troops of the Ninth Group were wiped out, which is almost the strength of a main battalion .

Such a huge victory, coupled with a large number of light machine guns and submachine guns captured by a brigade during the battle.Invisibly improving the automatic firepower ratio of the first brigade, while strengthening the firepower of the troops, it also increased the morale of the troops.

More than 1000 officers and soldiers of the First Brigade and Second Regiment hid motionlessly on both sides of the street, waiting for the Ninth Army's attacking troops.

Compared with yesterday evening, today's shelling only lasted 5 minutes and ended.The gunpowder smoke that shrouded the city wall had just begun to dissipate, and the soldiers of the Northwest Army who were hiding in the streets began to hold their breath and concentrate, looking for their own targets.However, to the disappointment of the Northwest Army, the attacking troops of the Ninth Army still did not appear until the smoke cleared.

While waiting anxiously, the high morale of the Northwest Army also began to dissipate over time.

More than 1000 soldiers of the Northwest Army became more and more restless as time went by.The faint roar of the engine sounded very abruptly around the city wall. The streets where more than 1000 soldiers of the Northwest Army were hiding began to tremble slightly because of this. [

"Listen everyone, what is the sound...>

"Platoon leader, I don't know either...>

"Engine sound, how can there be engine sound on the battlefield...>

"Platoon leader, look, what is that...>

As the chariot gets closer and closer to everyone.The huge body of the medium tank, the black muzzle and barrel, are more and more clearly displayed in front of everyone.A small hidden position, including the platoon leader.There were expressions of astonishment and panic on everyone's face.

Feeling the ground trembling more and more intensely, several soldiers with poor psychological quality were directly frightened and their legs went weak because of fear.sit on the floor.Those with better psychological qualities, on the surface, are still lying on the ground.However, from the trembling hands that gripped their rifles tightly, one can directly deduce the fear in the hearts of these soldiers.

"Platoon leader, this, what kind of monster is this...>

"Chariots...>

"Shoot...>

A burst of sparse gunfire broke the tranquility on the battlefield. The bullets fired by more than 30 rifles and a light machine gun, although most of them missed because of the panic in everyone's hearts.However, when the blind cat collided with the dead mouse, there were still more than a dozen bullets, which accurately hit the huge body of the tank.

A series of clear and crisp metal collision sounds sounded on the battlefield, and a scene of more than 30 officers and soldiers of the Northwest Army was shocked, directly appearing in front of everyone.A dozen or so bullets shot past, except for a crisp collision sound on the tank's protective steel plate, not even a single white spot was left behind.

"Platoon leader, bullets can't pierce the tank's armor, what should I do...>

"Bullets don't work, just use grenades. I don't believe that grenades can't blow through tank armor...>

Dozens of grenades drew a parabola in the air one after another, fell around the tank and exploded.Suddenly, a burst of thick gunpowder smoke enveloped the advancing chariot.

There were more than 30 people in the row, staring at the chariot shrouded in gunpowder smoke, waiting for the result.The deafening roar of the engine did not stop because of the explosion.More importantly, the huge body of the medium tank quickly passed through the smoke and appeared in front of everyone again.

"How could this happen, even a grenade can't do anything to him...>

However, even if they still have ideas, the tanks on the move don't intend to give them another chance.

Two consecutive rounds of strikes had allowed the tank commander to determine his first attack target.

Just after rushing out of the gunpowder smoke, the black tank gun barrel was aimed at the compound where the infantry platoon was hiding.

"Boom...>

"Not good, everyone hide...>

A violent explosion sounded in the compound, and at least one squad of infantry was directly torn to pieces by the large number of fragments produced by the high-explosive bomb.

Of course, the shell attack is only the first round of the tank's attack.The shell exploded, the house collapsed, and the remaining soldiers of an infantry platoon were immediately exposed to the black muzzle of the tank.

A high-level dual-purpose large-caliber anti-aircraft machine gun with a long barrel, under the control of a machine gun with half of his body exposed from the turret, followed by a roar.

A long tongue of flame spewed out from the muzzle of the gun, and more than a dozen officers and soldiers of the Northwest Army who were lucky enough to escape from the explosion of shells were killed.Before he could react from the shock, he was shot and fell to the ground.

Fortunately, the Northwest Army, although a large-caliber bullet punched a blood hole the size of a bowl.However, after all, there is still a whole body left.Unfortunately, either his arm was broken, or his legs were broken directly. Before he died, he didn't even have a complete body left behind.
