Rebirth of the Republic of China: The Rise of China

Violent artillery fire swept across the city wall of Shangqiu inner city, destroying all obstacles encountered along the way, including various fortifications exposed on the surface of the city wall.After continuous attacks, there were more than [-] officers and soldiers left in the assault battalion. They followed closely behind and quickly approached to block between the inner and outer cities, with only a city wall less than ten meters high.We are going to break into the inner city from the city gate hole that has been blasted open by shells, and go straight to the headquarters of the Third Army of the Shanxi-Sui Army.

100 meters, 80 meters...>

More than [-] officers and soldiers, without the slightest preparation, did not even have the minimum reaction time, they were swept to the ground in pieces and turned into corpses.

Time passed by every minute and every second, and five seconds passed.Wang Baoqing, the battalion commander of the assault battalion, who seemed to be a little overconfident because the attack was so powerful all the way, reacted from the shock.He quickly let out an exclamation to his subordinates who were also full of astonishment.

"Damn it, what are you still doing in a daze, you want to die...>

Facing the blow, in a short period of time, hundreds of officers and soldiers seemed a little caught off guard.Finally waking up from the shock, he pounced forward and quickly rushed towards the ruins beside him that could block bullets for him.

All of a sudden, the few scorching tongues that were still harvesting the lives of comrades-in-arms just now fell through.But even so.The intensive shooting for a few seconds also caused the biggest casualties since the attack...>

The officers and soldiers of the two infantry platoons, either dead or wounded, fell densely on the charge road...>

Although battalion commander Wang Baoqing was heartbroken by the heavy loss of the troops.However, he did not lose his mind.Looking at his subordinates who quickly lay down on the ground and started to counterattack with firepower, Battalion Commander Wang Baoqing continued to order: "All light machine gunners, concentrate your firepower on me. Suppress the enemy's machine gun bunker. Artillery, fire immediately and destroy the enemy's arrangement." A machine gun bunker on the wall…>

The instant fire of more than 30 light machine guns in the assault battalion gave way to the six tongues of flame raging above the assault battalion's head.In the ruins where he was, the subordinates who had just been crushed and couldn't lift their heads finally had a chance to fight back.Of course, the artillery that battalion commander Wang Baoqing relied on the most also took advantage of this opportunity to set up the mortar.

"Everything...>

However, it is a pity.The successive rounds of shell explosions did not achieve any meaningful results other than covering several machine gun bunkers in the smoke produced by the shell explosions.Six scorching tongues of flame were still raging over everyone's heads intermittently.

"Battalion Commander, it seems that our mortars don't work. The enemy's machine gun bunker must have been reinforced..." the Deputy Battalion Commander reminded with a frown.

"I feel it too, it seems that I can only ask for artillery support from the rear... >

The crisp sound of the transmitter sounded on the battlefield, and less than 2 minutes later, a sharp whistling sound rang out above everyone's heads.

"Not good. It's a 105mm howitzer...>

"Damn it, the technology of these artillerymen is getting better and better. From such a long distance, they actually hit the first shot. Communication soldiers, tell the artillerymen to continue bombing me hard according to the artillery coordinates just now... >

"Yes, Battalion Commander...>

As soon as the order was issued, the whistling sound of strings of shells began to sound on the battlefield.The several machine gun bunkers that were still spewing out tongues of flame just now, including the entire city wall in front of them... without exception, were all shrouded in artillery fire and gunpowder smoke.

1 minutes, 2 minutes... >

"I don't believe that such a fierce artillery fire can't blow up the machine gun bunker in front of us...>

"Rush into the inner city and capture Wang Jingguo alive, brothers, kill me...>

Jumped up from the ruins, formed an arrow-like attack formation, and quickly rushed to the city wall that was still shrouded in gunpowder smoke.

50m, 40m, 30m...>

Facing the city wall that was getting closer and closer to them, the remaining 400 officers and soldiers of the assault battalion gradually showed excited expressions on their faces, thinking that when they rushed into the inner city, victory was in sight.A dull burst of heavy machine gun fire sounded on the city wall again.

The hundreds of officers and soldiers who rushed forward quickly seemed to have bumped into an insurmountable iron wall that devoured the lives of soldiers.Anyone who collided with the fire net formed by the six flames, without exception, all fell into a charging posture and fell into a pool of blood...>

However, after the sudden fire attack just now, the response speed of the assault battalion before the battle was not so fast.The sudden dense firepower network caused another platoon of casualties to the assault battalion.I can no longer see an officer and soldier of the commando battalion, still standing on the ground in a daze...>

"This...how is it possible, such a fierce artillery fire. It failed to destroy the enemy's machine gun bunker...>

"Battalion Commander, when the gunpowder smoke completely clears, everything will be clear...>

The 2-minute wait was extremely slow for Wang Baoqing, who was completely within the range of enemy fire suppression.

The expression on Wang Baoqing's face gradually changed from shock at the beginning to anxiety, and now to anxiety.pervades the city.That is to say, the gunpowder smoke around several machine gun bunkers finally dissipated completely.

"Battle Commander, look, it turned out to be a pure concrete blockhouse. The enemy in the inner city had already prepared for it, and actually built a concrete blockhouse..." Looking at the scene tens of meters away from the top of the city.The deputy battalion commander directly showed an incredulous expression on his face, and asked back in astonishment.

In Wang Baoqing's eyes, the machine gun bunker in front of him.At most, the Jinsui army hollowed out the city wall and built it temporarily.But.He didn't expect that the machine gun bunker in front of him not only hollowed out the city wall, but also used reinforced concrete inside the city wall.A special protection was built that ordinary shells could not do anything about.

After just a few minutes of fierce artillery fire, the brick wall wrapped around the outermost edge of the machine gun bunker was blown apart without any accident.Without the cover of brick walls, the reinforced concrete prototype is clearly displayed in front of everyone.

And Wang Jingguo, commander of the Third Army of the Jinsui Army.The reason why he had such preparations was because of his good luck.

Because of the perennial wars in Shangqiu, the inner city walls have already been hollowed out by the garrison troops in previous years, and a large number of caves for hiding soldiers were built into them.Relying on the cave of Tibetan soldiers, plus the large-caliber howitzer exposed by the Ninth Army since the shelling for a few days.The prudent king passed by.All the manpower and material resources in the city were directly mobilized to build these reinforced concrete bunkers that could not be dealt with by ordinary shells.

But now, what Wang Jing didn't expect was the machine gun bunkers hidden inside the city walls.It actually worked.

The bombardment took less than 5 minutes, while blowing up all the brick walls around the bunker.The huge shock wave generated by the shell explosion also shocked and killed all the blocking troops of the Jinsui Army in the six machine gun bunkers.And this is where the six machine gun bunkers paused briefly during the shelling.

After the bombardment, the defenders of the inner city immediately re-deployed troops into the machine gun bunker and continued to counterattack.And this led to the current situation: when the officers and soldiers of the assault battalion were close to 30 meters from the city wall, the sudden interception firepower caught the assault battalion by surprise again.

"The battalion commander, it's a reinforced concrete bunker...>

"Soldiers come to block, water comes to cover...>

"Yes, Battalion Commander...>

In less than a minute, six blasting teams composed of more than a dozen officers and soldiers, including several explosive packages weighing 1 kilograms, were sent to the forefront of the battlefield.Under the order of Battalion Commander Wang Baoqing, hundreds of cover grenades were quickly thrown out with green smoke.

The violent explosion of the grenade sounded, and a burst of thick gunpowder smoke rose directly in the open space between the assault battalion and the machine gun bunker, and diffused.While blocking the sight of the attacking troops of the assault battalion, the thick gunpowder smoke also blocked the shooting sight of the machine gunners of the Jinsui Army in the machine gun bunker.

"Demoman, give me the...>

Dozens of blasters, with explosive packs in their arms, jumped from the position like wild horses and rushed out quickly.Running the arc-shaped attack route that can most effectively avoid bullets, and at the fastest speed, rushed to the machine gun bunker in front of him. [

The machine gunners deployed by the Jinsui Army in the six machine gun bunkers seemed to realize that the danger of death was approaching them step by step.Although the thick gunpowder smoke blocked their sight.But that didn't stop their hands from pulling the trigger of their machine guns and firing.

At the same time as the grenade explosion sounded, six machine gunners from the Jinsui Army.Subconsciously increased the fire output of the six heavy machine guns.When dozens of blasters rushed out of the position, six heavy machine guns had already used six scorching flames to weave an airtight bullet net in front of the bunker.Looking down from the sky, it was like an insurmountable iron wall blocking them.

"Da da da...>

"The Jinsui Army of the dog day, I am at odds with you..." Dozens of blasters were lost before they could reach a distance of ten meters.Battalion Commander Wang Baoqing's face directly showed a strong expression of pain, and he cursed with hatred.

"Battalion Commander, the enemy's firepower is too fierce, and the blasters can't rush through it at all...>

"That's the end of the matter, it seems. We just have to fight to the last...>

"Put one last... >

"Yes, it's just a fight...>

"Ten seconds. As long as our blasters are used properly, we can completely rush to the shooting blind spot of the opponent's machine gun bunker. Then, use the explosive package to completely destroy the opponent's turtle shell from the inside out... >

"Bombard the Jinsui army in the bunker with shock waves..." Wang Baoqing's voice just fell, with a hint of worry.Immediately afterwards, it appeared on the face of the deputy battalion commander.

Because he is very aware of the huge hidden dangers hidden in this offensive method.

You know, right now.The entire assault battalion was only 30 meters away from the dark fort.The killing range of the large-caliber howitzer shells is a full 20 meters.This directly means that the error range of the howitzer shelling behind him cannot exceed ten meters.Once the shelling error exceeds ten meters, your own assault battalion will be affected by the explosion of your own shells, and you will pay a certain price of casualties.

As the battalion commander, Wang Baoqing certainly saw the deputy battalion commander's worries. Before the deputy battalion commander could speak, he continued, "Old Wang, I know what you are going to say. But what I want to tell you is , time does not wait for me. If we take down the enemy's military headquarters earlier, the casualties paid by other troops in the whole army will be much less. Among them, I won't say which is more important, you should know. Take my assault battalion The casualties of some officers and soldiers are exchanged for the victory of the entire battle. This battle, no matter from which aspect, is worth a try...>

"Besides, in theory, the howitzer shells have a killing range of 20 meters. However, as long as the brothers are concealed, they will hardly suffer much damage within a range of ten meters. Therefore, the shelling error range left for the howitzer regiment , as much as 20 meters. With an error of 20 meters, I believe the artillery behind me will definitely be able to do it."

"However, Battalion Commander, don't be afraid of [-] people. Once a shell from the howitzer regiment misses and lands among us, it will not be a few people, or even a dozen casualties. If it is more serious, it will directly cause damage. The loss of hundreds of people in my assault battalion..." Battalion Commander Wang Baoqing's reasons, although the Deputy Battalion Commander agreed.However, still reminded.

Wang Baoqing waved his hand, showing a firm expression on his face, and said: "Old Wang, don't talk about it, I have already decided on this matter. If anything happens, I, Wang Baoqing, will take full responsibility...>

"Yes, Battalion Commander...>

"Boom...>

The explosion sounded, and dozens of military officers and soldiers, without exception, were all blown to the point of bleeding and turned into corpses... >

Because of the reason agreed in advance, just after 1 minute, dozens of blasters, regardless of whether there are still shells in the air.Holding the explosive pack, he rushed to the machine gun bunker that was still completely shrouded in gunpowder smoke.

30 meters, 20 meters, ten meters...>

"It became...>

Wang Baoqing was not kept waiting for too long. In less than two seconds, there was a violent explosion, accompanied by a ball of orange-red fireball, which rose directly from the thick gunpowder smoke, indicating that a machine gun bunker in front of him was completely destroyed. for ashes.

"Boom boom boom... >

"Brothers, the enemy bunker has been bombed. Rush into the inner city, capture the king alive, and avenge the fallen brothers... >
