Rebirth of the Republic of China: The Rise of China

"The division seat, the 80th and 81st infantry regiments, have all moved into place and completed the encirclement of the Independent Eighth Brigade of the Northeast Army. They are ready to attack the Northeast Army from the rear and wings at any time...>

"As for the Armored Assault Battalion, in order to end the battle as soon as possible and capture more prisoners for our Ninth Army, the Armored Assault Battalion is the protagonist of our battle...>

"It's completely within the scope of our estimates: Observations from inside the city show that the main force of the Independent Eighth Brigade has already moved to the first-line position that we voluntarily gave up. From the perspective of the terrain, the hidden position of the armored assault battalion is less than less than the enemy's brigade headquarters. 500 meters. Once the armored assault battalion launches an attack, the armored assault battalion can complete the encirclement of the enemy's eighth brigade headquarters in one minute at the latest." Chief of Staff Liu Qingwen replied in a deep voice.

"Very good...>

"Master, it's time, give the order, the brothers below can't wait any longer. Especially the 79th regiment, they gave up their positions one after another, and the brothers all held a resentment in their hearts and wanted to vent... >

Teacher Zhou Xingguo smiled noncommittally.Then, he gave a firm order to the chief of staff and the staff in the war room.

"Immediately give an order to all the troops participating in the battle: Artillery group, 5 minutes later, which is exactly 2 o'clock in the afternoon. Start artillery preparations for the enemy for [-] minutes...>

"The three infantry regiments completed the encirclement of the Eighth Brigade of the Northeast Army according to the predetermined plan. At the same time, under the cover of corresponding artillery fire, they quickly compressed the enemy's living space. Cooperating with the armored assault battalion, they destroyed the headquarters of the Eighth Brigade of the Northeast Army. The encirclement was forced to land The remaining thousands of Northeast Army soldiers, end the battle...>

Despite continuous attacks, Ding Xichun's Eighth Brigade won consecutive victories.However, the breakthrough of two consecutive lines of defense also caused very heavy casualties to the 622 regiment of the Northeast Army.At this moment, it was confronting the 79th regiment on the third line of defense.It has been replaced by a new infantry regiment under the command of the Independent Eighth Brigade of the Northeast Army, namely the 623rd regiment under Ding Xichun.

A battalion of Northeast Army soldiers was gathering in front of the position, preparing to launch a new round of offensive under the cover of artillery fire behind them.A sudden whistling sound of shells came directly from the sky.Dense shells.Like rain, one after another fell on the main force of Ding Xichun's independent eighth brigade and exploded.

There was a sound of explosion, balls of fiery red fireballs, thick and pungent gunpowder smoke...>

"Brigade, shelling. Dangerous...>

The explosion sounded, and brigade commander Ding Xichun was lucky enough to escape the catastrophe. However, he was not so lucky when he lay on his back and acted as the guard of his own meat shield. He was directly blown into a corpse... >

Surrounded by other guards around, Ding Xichun, who was in a panic, quickly got up from the ground.Looking at the surrounding area that has been completely enveloped in gunpowder smoke, the sound of dense explosions is constantly ringing out.A solemn expression appeared on his face in an instant.Facing the subordinates who hurried over beside him, he said in a heavy tone.

"Not good, I'm really afraid to come here, the Ninth Army has started to use their artillery group... >

As soon as the words fell, the panicked voice of Chief of Staff Chen Dongqun immediately reached Ding Xichun's ears: "Brigade, judging from the sound of the cannons, the Ninth Army has deployed hundreds of cannons. With such a huge artillery unit, It is not something our army can resist. For the future of my independent eighth brigade, whether to retreat or continue to attack, please make a decision early... >

Ding Xichun, who was born in the army, was dissatisfied with Chen Dongqun's panic.However, as his confidant, even if Ding Xichun was dissatisfied, he did not show it.After a cold snort, he said to the surrounding subordinates with a solemn expression: "Chief of Staff, under such heavy artillery fire, can we still retreat?"

"I can be sure that the casualties paid by the retreating troops are definitely much greater than continuing to stand here...>

"Yes, Traveler...>

Thousands of officers and soldiers of the Northeast Army were lying on the ground with pale faces, looking forward to the end of the shelling soon.Under the cover of the rumbling guns on the battlefield, the armored assault battalion hidden in the underground bunker had a tank company, an armored company, a total of [-] tanks and armored combat vehicles, and the roar of rumbling engines sounded very timely.

"Boom...>

Although such a huge impact and engine roar attracted the attention of many people on the battlefield.However, the rumble of cannons still attracted the attention of most people on the battlefield.Even if a small number of officers and soldiers of the Northeast Army found the armored assault battalion, it was impossible to spread the news quickly under such fierce shelling.

In a short period of time, twenty armored combat vehicles suddenly appeared on the battlefield, like an unstoppable torrent of steel, quickly pressing towards the main position of the Northeast Army.

200m...>

In the blink of an eye, the armored combat vehicles lined up in two rows were less than 100 meters away from the shelling area.If it weren't for the superb artillery technology of the artillery unit of the Ninth Army, the entire armored assault battalion might have entered the range of artillery fire.Any missed shell can cause the destruction of an armored combat vehicle.

And at this moment, the rumble of cannons.Because the armored assault battalion started to move, it was directly reduced by half.Large-caliber howitzer.Mountain runs, even medium mortars that can do damage to armored vehicles... >

Under the cover of thick armor all over the body, the torrent of steel composed of twenty tanks and armored combat vehicles did not stop at all.Under the stunned gaze of the soldiers of the Northeast Army.Quickly rush into the position that is still shrouded in gunpowder smoke.

"Da da da...>

After all, the Northeast Army is the best-equipped warlord force in the country, plus Zhang Xueliang's own plan.The entire Northeast Army.It is the only unit equipped with tanks and armored vehicles among the major warlord forces in China.Therefore, the soldiers of the Northeast Army who are in chaos are no strangers to the armored combat vehicles in front of them.

However, not unfamiliar at the same time.It also intensified the panic of these Northeast Army officers and soldiers.As an ordinary infantryman, the more you know about armored combat vehicles.Then the more clear the power that armored combat vehicles can produce on the battlefield.

But now, I don't have anti-tank guns for armored vehicles, and I don't have fortifications to deal with armored vehicles. Facing the armored assault battalion, I have no other way except to be beaten passively.

Under such circumstances, all officers and soldiers of the Northeast Army who saw the armored assault battalion were very aware of one fact.In front of the Armored Assault Battalion, there are only two paths left for him: one way is to die on the battlefield, at the gunpoint of the Armored Assault Battalion.As for the other way, that is to hide, to avoid the attack of the armored assault battalion... >

Therefore, on the way forward of the armored assault battalion, except for a few officers and soldiers of the Northeast Army who were constantly shot and killed on the spot.Most of the soldiers of the Northeast Army, like frightened rabbits, quickly scattered and chose the route of rout.

In a blink of an eye, all the soldiers of the Northeast Army who stood in front of Ding Xichun's brigade headquartered in the Northeast Army escaped completely.And Ding Xichun, commander of the Eighth Brigade, who was guarded by less than one company, also appeared very clearly in front of the Armored Assault Battalion...>

"A row of tanks, frontal attack...>

A huge engine roar sounded, and a number of armored tanks quickly emerged from the formation and surrounded Ding Xichun's wings.In the face of the sudden armored assault battalion, they have not yet reacted from the shock. The officers of the Eighth Brigade, including brigade commander Ding Xichun, were all surrounded by the armored assault battalion without exception...>

At the same time, under the cover of artillery fire, the three infantry regiments scattered around the Northeast Army also took advantage of the situation to attack.Under the cover of powerful firepower, the living space of the Northeast Army was continuously compressed with lightning speed.In the end, the remaining thousands of Northeast troops of the Eighth Brigade were compressed bit by bit on a piece of land with a radius of less than three square kilometers.

Ten tanks, with ten black gun barrels, moved down quickly and aimed at the rear of the Eighth Brigade, which had less than a hundred people in the encirclement.A voice from a loudspeaker was heard very clearly by Ding Xichun, commander of the Eighth Brigade, and others.

"Brigade Commander Ding, you have been surrounded by us. In order to avoid more lives lost, I hope you can lead your subordinates to surrender to my Ninth Army. Here, on behalf of the Ninth Army, I assure you. As long as your department takes the initiative Surrender, we promise not to kill indiscriminately, and guarantee the safety of all officers and soldiers of your army...>

"How could it be, how could the Ninth Army be equipped with tanks...>

As brigade commander Ding Xichun did not respond, it does not mean that the surrounding subordinates also did not respond... >

He saw ten black hole gun barrels facing him a hundred meters away.Dozens of vehicle-mounted heavy machine guns.A very bloody scene quickly appeared in the minds of these soldiers of the Northeast Army...>

Ten tank guns fired simultaneously.The brigade headquarters he was in would undoubtedly be blown to pieces by shells in the blink of an eye.In addition to the top of the ten tanks, from a distance, there are ten dual-purpose machine guns with long barrels.You can be sure, as long as you don't surrender right away and leave it to yourself, there is only one way to go: to be shot and killed on the spot by the opponent's sophisticated weapons.What's more, even a complete body cannot be left behind.

Thinking of the bloody scene that might appear next, the bodies of officers and soldiers of the Northeast Army beside brigade commander Ding Xichun shuddered subconsciously.

Under the watchful eyes of all the slightly panicked eyes, Chief of Staff Chen Dongqun broke the dignified atmosphere around him.Facing brigade commander Ding Xichun.In a low voice, he persuaded: "Travel seat, as the saying goes, 'keep the green hills here without worrying about no firewood'. The defeat in the battle with the Ninth Army this time was entirely caused by the advantages of the Ninth Army's equipment. I believe that even if the general The commander knows, and he will not blame you, brigade. Therefore, for the sake of the remaining thousands of soldiers in the brigade, I implore the brigade to make an early decision... >

"Please make a decision early...>

But at this moment, the voice of Chief of Staff Chen Dongqun rang again: "Brigade seat. The enemy is not only equipped with hundreds of artillery pieces, but also has an unstoppable armored force. Continue to resist. Brothers will die in battle. , there is no other way out at all. You know, the remaining thousands of soldiers in our brigade are all old brothers who have been fighting with you for several years. Could it be that you just watched them die in a battle? In battle without any hope of victory...>

"No, this is not a battle, but a massacre of thousands of soldiers of my independent Eighth Brigade...>

As soon as Chief of Staff Chen Dongqun finished speaking, brigade commander Ding Xichun's eyes flashed sharply.At this moment, his heart was completely stung by the word 'slaughter'.Although he didn't want to admit this fact from the bottom of his heart, he had to face the powerful strength of the enemy in front of him.

As the chief of staff said, once this battle continues.Facing the joint attack of the Ninth Army artillery group and armored forces.Thousands of subordinates who have followed him for several years, without exception, will all face the fate of being slaughtered.

After taking a deep look at the muzzles of the surrounding black tank guns, a trace of decadent expression immediately appeared on the brigade commander Ding Xichun's face.Facing the expectant Chen Dongqun beside him, he said in a mournful tone: "Forget it, who made me Ding Xichun so unlucky to meet such a powerful opponent...>

"Old Chen, order my brothers to surrender to the Ninth Army...>

"Travel seat wise...>

Then, facing a subordinate behind him, he decisively ordered: "What are you still doing, prepare the white flag immediately and surrender to the Ninth Army...>

In China, where the warlords are in chaos, it is normal for one army to surrender to the other army on the battlefield.Although this kind of thing rarely happens to the Northeast Army, which is the only one in the Northeast.However, in the face of the brigade commander Ding Xichun's order.The remaining thousands of officers and soldiers of the Northeast Army in the entire Eighth Brigade accepted the order very readily without any resistance.

That's it, less than a day.An elite main brigade of the Northeast Army disappeared directly from the Northeast Army's establishment in the face of a large net carefully arranged by Zhou Xingguo.

Liu Qingwen, the chief of staff of Dalian Zhou Xingguo's headquarters, walked in with a smile on his face, and reported: "The commander, the results of the troops and the casualties have been counted...>

"What's going on, what is unexpected...>

"Of course it's the fighting power of the Northeast Army...>

"In the entire battle, our 27th Division had a total of 287 soldiers killed, 39 seriously injured, and 498 slightly injured..."

"In terms of results, of the more than [-] members of the Independent Eighth Brigade of the Northeast Army, none of them slipped through the net, and all of them were wiped out by our army. Among them, more than [-] people were killed on the battlefield, and the enemy's brigade commander Ding Xichun, chief of staff Chen Dongqun and other senior officers were captured. More than [-] people seized various weapons, ammunition, and countless supplies...>

"Okay guys playing well...>
