Rebirth of the Republic of China: The Rise of China

破敌

"Crack...>

The teacher Luo Qiyuan was angry, as the staff officers closest to the teacher, he didn't want to draw the teacher's anger to himself.One by one, the combat staff members quickly returned to their positions and sat upright.While paying attention to every move in the teacher Luo Qiyuan's office, he was busy with the work at hand in an orderly manner. 【】Novel chapters are updated the fastest

In the division commander Luo Qiyuan's office, facing the one-day battle report that had just been counted on the table, including Peng Jiaxin, the leader of the first regiment, and Cao Yongxue, the leader of the second regiment, the three were silent.Frowning tightly, each thinking about something.

More than [-] officers and soldiers died on the battlefield, and more than [-] officers and soldiers had to withdraw from the battlefield because of serious injuries.Of course, while a large number of soldiers were lost, a regiment of various light and heavy weapons also lost almost [-]%.In just one day, the entire regiment paid a huge price for losing more than half of it outside the city. [

As the protagonist Peng Jiaxin who fought outside the city for a whole day and suffered heavy losses.In his heart, he had already been enveloped by a cloud of intense anger. After a minute of silence, he directly asked for the battle in his own rough voice: "Master, I request the field artillery regiment to join the battle and destroy the Central Army's mountain artillery unit in one fell swoop." "The chapters of the novel are updated the fastest

"As long as the opponent doesn't have mountain artillery to provide fire support. With the superior artillery in our hands, it will definitely blow up the enemy's bones, and there is no courage to attack us at all."

"Destroying the enemy's mountain artillery unit is easier said than done...>

“>

As soon as the voice of the division commander Luo Qiyuan fell, Cao Yongxue, who had been acting as a bystander during the battle all day, said: "Master, Lao Peng, the enemy's coordinated infantry and artillery attack today is very cunning...>

"Relying on our superiority in troops and a certain amount of heavy firepower, we will slowly consume the limited strength of our defenders step by step...>

"It's only been one day of fighting. We have lost half of the regiment's strength. Then, what about the next time... Two days, or even three days later, under the enemy's continuous attack, how many troops are left in the entire Zaozhuang? On the other hand, the Central Army outside the city, although they lost a regiment after a day's attack. But let's not forget that the opponent has more than six regiments in their hands. According to this consumption rate, within three days, Zaozhuang will fall into the opponent's hands..."

"In order to avoid this kind of result, I think that instead of studying how to deal with the enemy's attack method, we should find a way to change the entire tactics and tactics, so that we can no longer be led by the enemy's attack... >

Although Cao Yongxue's words were ugly.However, Luo Qiyuan and Peng Jiaxin were falling into anger and confusion.But he listened.

Especially Peng Jiaxin, who has fallen into a misunderstanding and has been trying to find his place on the battlefield.His eyes suddenly lit up, he stared at Cao Yongxue beside him, and asked back: "Old Cao, do you have any good ideas...>

"What you just said is too right. We can no longer be led by the central army outside the city. We must take the initiative in the entire battle. Otherwise, no matter how many troops we have, they will be consumed by the opponent's attacks one after another. On the battlefield...>

Under the watchful eyes of Peng Jiaxin and Luo Qiyuan, a wry smile appeared on Cao Yongxue's face.After shaking his head, he said, "Lao Peng, you think highly of me too. If there is a way, I would have said it just now, and I won't wait until now. However, I know a fact, and I hope to have some kindness for the teacher and you." Help 'offense is the best defense', we must not stay in the city because of insufficient troops, and conduct a completely passive defense...>

"Offense is the best defense..." After a quick recollection of these words, the head of the regiment, Peng Jiaxin, was directly shrouded in a helpless expression, and said.

"Old Cao, as you just said: If we have enough troops, we can indeed launch a major counterattack against the enemy by virtue of our firepower superiority, defeating the central army surrounded outside the city in one fell swoop. However, our troops are fully prepared There are only so many. After a day of fighting, there will be fewer soldiers capable of fighting. Only relying on these troops to go out of the city to attack the enemy, what if the attack fails? In my opinion, this is tantamount to speeding up the fall of Zaozhuang. "

And at this moment, Luo Qiyuan, who had been silent just now, spoke up: "Old Peng, it is not impossible to launch a large-scale counterattack against the Central Army outside the city...>

Seeing Peng Jiaxin's puzzled eyes cast quickly on him, Master Luo Qiyuan didn't pause, and explained directly: "In addition to our two main force regiments and an artillery regiment, there is also a local garrison regiment that sticks to Zaozhuang. Zaozhuang garrison regiment Although it has only been formed for a month and has not participated in any battles, this garrison regiment has [-] officers and soldiers equipped to the teeth."

"Two thousand new recruits equipped to the teeth will not work to attack. However, it is more than enough to put them on the defense line for defense. Calculated in this way, the mobile force in our hands will directly increase to a regiment... >

"Boom boom boom..." The violent shell explosion sounded on the battlefield, and the battle stopped for a night, and it started again because of the shelling.

Although the one-day battle yesterday caused heavy losses to the Central Army.However, the huge victory of annihilating at least half of the enemy's regiment still made everyone, including Master Shen Qimin, feel moved and envious. [

To be clear, according to this dispatch, according to the number of troops defending the city of Zaozhuang.In a maximum of two days, the defenders in Zaozhuang City would be wiped out by their continuous attacks.Of course, without the defenders, Zaozhuang, the gateway to the entire south of Shandong, would easily fall into his hands.

Thinking of this, Wu Jiamin is the leader.There are more than a dozen officers in size.Without exception, they all watched the changes in the battle situation with fiery faces.

10 minutes of offense is fleeting.Although the attacking troops of a battalion suffered heavy losses, they did not even touch the edge of the opponent's blocking position.but.The fiery expressions covering everyone's faces did not dissipate in the slightest. They immediately looked at the commander-in-chief Wu Jiamin, waiting for Wu Jiamin to issue a new attack order.

But at this moment, Wu Jiamin was looking into the eyes of the defeated troops, and suddenly a trace of unknown excitement flashed across them.Facing Mr. Shen Qimin beside him, he asked thoughtfully.

"Mr. Shen, did you notice any difference in the attack just now?"

"Brother Wu, you have also noticed. Although the firepower of the defending army is as strong as yesterday. However, there is one thing I can be sure of: those who are holding their positions now are definitely not the same group as yesterday. 』Compared with yesterday, the shooting accuracy is more than one level lower. Therefore, I judged: After a day of exhaustion, the defenders in the city have begun to use the reserve team. This means that Zaozhuang can't last long in the face of the attack. ...>

"You're right, and I have the same feeling. So, I'm going to try it out for the next attack. Whether the Zaozhuang defenders are really as we imagined, they can't hold on for too long. In addition, from From the beginning of the siege to the present, the main force of the opponent's artillery regiment has not moved at all. What I mean is: it is best in the next round of attack. "Force" the opponent to completely expose the artillery regiment to us." Commander Wu Jiamin said confidently.

Some explanations and orders were issued.A regiment of two thousand elite central troops, like a yellow wave, appeared mightily outside the city of Zaozhuang.

At a distance of 200 meters, intensive counterattack gunfire sounded very punctually from the defenders' positions.However, compared with the gunshots just now, it may be because he dispatched too many troops... Although the gunshots that suddenly rang out were as dense as before, behind the denseness, there was a mess hidden ".

Yes, it's messy, counterattacking the flames one by one, as if there is no target, shooting blindly at your own attacking troops.

"Brother Wu, judging from the density of firepower, the Zaozhuang defenders have deployed almost a regiment of troops on this line of defense...>

"What's wrong with a regiment? In the worst case, we will eat this regiment. Don't forget the artillery behind us... Order, all mortar clusters, immediately conduct a half-minute artillery attack. After the shelling is completed, quickly retreat... >

"Everything... woo woo..." The muffled sound of cannon ejection and the sharp whistling of shells rang out on the battlefield one after another.At least fifty shells, after drawing a parabola in the air, fell on the defense line of the defenders and exploded.

Of course, the garrison under the personal command of the regiment leader Peng Jiaxin is not a vegetarian either. A field infantry regiment and a local garrison regiment have a total of more than [-] mortars of various types. The artillery counterattacked.

However, because Wu Jiamin scattered all the mortars in his hands in units of platoons.Although violent explosions continued to sound from the rear, there were still dozens of shells at intervals of three to four seconds, flying very stubbornly towards the position that the Zaozhuang garrison regiment was defending.

The half-minute artillery attack was very short, but in this short period of time, at least [-] shells fell on the defense line of the defenders outside Zaozhuang City.

When the shelling ended, the remaining gunners of Wu Jiamin's troops, armed with mortars, quickly withdrew from their positions.Wu Jiamin had already prepared a mountain artillery battalion, and immediately started a fierce artillery counterattack, trying to destroy the mortar group in Peng Jiaxin's hands immediately.

Compared with mortar shells, mountain cannon shells are more than twice as powerful.

18 mountain artillery shells exploded, and a long section of the Zaozhuang city wall was immediately shrouded in smoke from the explosion of the shells.Of course, the huge air waves generated by the explosion of the shells and the fragments of the shells flying on the surface of the city wall, like the god of death, began to harvest the lives of the gunners on the city wall.

"Mountain Pao Battalion, is the Mountain Pao Battalion...>

"It is indeed the enemy's mountain artillery battalion. However, for this mountain artillery battalion, our Zaozhuang garrison regiment, including the artillery on the city wall, has paid a huge price in casualties. However, as long as Zaozhuang can be defended, no matter how high the price is. Worth it...>

subsequently.Facing the combat staff who was already on standby behind him, he ordered with a fiery face: "What are you still doing in a daze, order the Shanpao Battalion to launch a counterattack immediately, and draw the remaining Shanpao Battalion out of the enemy...>

After the whistle of the sharp shells, a series of faint explosions sounded from the rear of the Central Army.Immediately, the mountain cannon shells that had just landed on the city wall directly shifted their targets.Started to fly to a group of subordinate mountain artillery battalions.

Two mountain artillery battalions, you come and go, start shooting each other.

Of course, when the enemy and the enemy were engaged in artillery battles, a regiment of the Central Army that was in charge of the attack did not stop its own offensive pace.

After paying more than 300 casualties, the mighty offensive formation has advanced to less than 100 meters from the defense line.

One ebbs and another, the officers and soldiers of the Zaozhuang garrison stationed on the defense line.Because it was the first time on the battlefield.I was full of fear of the battlefield.In addition, now, seeing the enemy who is already close at hand, and hearing the colleagues around him who are constantly being shot and fell to the ground, making screams.The fear hidden in the heart.Immediately there were signs of an explosion.

It is conceivable that once this emotion is erupted, the entire army will be destroyed.It will collapse in an instant.As for the line of defense everyone is defending, there is no surprise.It will also be occupied by the Central Army.

Peng Jiaxin, who stood firm on the city wall, of course saw this change.While his complexion suddenly became serious.He gave a firm order to the mortar gunner who had just escaped from the artillery fire on the city wall.

"All mortars, concentrate firepower, shell the enemy's attacking troops, block their attacking pace, start immediately..."

At the same time, Wu Jiamin, the supreme commander of the Central Army, also issued a nearly identical order...

"All mortars, concentrate firepower, suppress the defenders on the defense line, and cover the attacking troops to finish the last distance. Victory or defeat depends on one action, don't worry about accidental damage from shells, fire immediately..."

The shells from both sides came and went, and the entire battlefield fell into a stalemate in an instant.However, in this stalemate, every minute, or even a second, several, or even dozens of soldiers from both sides died in this artillery battle.

At this moment, Peng Jiaxin, the commander of the First Regiment of the Defenders with an expectant expression, said: "Master, it's time to use another mountain artillery battalion... I believe that as long as the mountain artillery battalion fires, the Central Army outside the city will definitely ignore it." All show all their hole cards... >

Division commander Luo Qiyuan nodded noncommittally, and ordered decisively: "Order the mountain artillery battalion under the second regiment to concentrate firepower and destroy the enemy's mortar positions...>

The order was issued, and a sharp whistling sound of shells whizzed past the city.

The sound of shell explosions sounded from the mortar positions at the rear, looking at the mortar positions that were quickly swept by artillery fire.On the face of Wu Jiamin, the commander of the Central Army, not only did he not show any expression of annoyance, but a hint of excitement flashed across it.

Another mountain artillery battalion opened fire on him, according to his understanding of the enemy: the Zaozhuang garrison had already revealed all their assets to him.

That being the case, next, it's your turn to perform

Without the slightest hesitation, he decisively ordered the last mountain artillery battalion in his hand to fire and counterattack.

At the same time as the artillery counterattacked, thinking that the Zaozhuang garrison had no heavy weapons to take out, they dispatched another infantry regiment to launch a more violent attack on Luo Qiyuan's Zaozhuang garrison outside the city from the two wings.

"The hole cards, the enemy's hole cards are finally revealed..." Teacher Luo Qiyuan's nervous face was instantly enveloped by a relaxed expression.With anticipation for this counterattack, he ordered excitedly.

"The field artillery regiment, divided into two, quickly took down the enemy's two mountain artillery battalions...the first regiment and the second regiment, with the support of their respective mortars, quickly launched a counterattack against the enemy's attacking troops...>

"Boom boom boom..." A shell explosion sounded from a longer distance on the battlefield. Facing the sudden entry of a field artillery regiment from the defenders, Wu Jiamin, who was still full of confidence just now, suddenly turned pale.Facing Mr. Shen Qiming, who was also stunned beside him, he muttered to himself.

"How is it possible, why is there an artillery regiment hidden in the defenders, how is it possible...>

Before everyone woke up from the sudden change, one after another, bad news had already arrived and reached the ears of Wu Jiamin and others.

"Reporter's seat, the left-wing mountain artillery position has been hit by the enemy "destructively", and has lost its combat effectiveness..."

"Reporting to the division seat, the right-wing mountain artillery battalion was attacked by the enemy's fierce artillery fire, and suffered heavy losses...>

As soon as the voice fell, a ground-shaking explosion sounded from behind.The shocked Wu Jiamin turned around quickly, ready to check the source of the explosion.The terrified report of the combat staff had already reached his ears.

"Master's seat, the logistics position...>

"What, the supply ammunition was blown up...>

You know, in order to occupy Lunan, the supply battalions of the two divisions wiped out all the military supplies that the troops had hoarded in Xuzhou City.But now, less than three days after the troops were dispatched, the two main divisions' combat material reserves of almost half a year were completely destroyed.

Without these military supplies, it directly means that the two infantry divisions in their hands will face the danger of running out of ammunition and food in the next battle even if they take Zaozhuang in front of them.More importantly, in the current battle, with the participation of an artillery regiment from the other side, some unexpected changes have begun to occur...
