Rebirth of the Republic of China: The Rise of China

"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo..." A sharp troop assembly whistle sounded in Suizhong County, and the officers and soldiers of the Northeast Army scattered everywhere, like frightened rabbits, quickly assembled to the barracks in the city.

Soon, a main brigade of the Northeast Army, with a total of more than [-] people, was assembled amidst the yelling and cursing of their respective officers.

Facing the 'Japanese Kwantung Army' which is already close at hand from Suizhong County.The Northeast Army, who received Zhang Xueliang's retreat order, did not dare to hesitate, and quickly led the troops out of Suizhong County, disappearing on the road leading to Shanhaiguan.

Walking into the city gate of Suizhong County, you can see that the doors on both sides of the street are closed and the streets are almost empty. Zhang Zongming, head of the 236 regiment, took off his Kwantung Army uniform with a look of disgust, and put on the Ninth Army uniform again.

Then, to the subordinates behind him, he ordered excitedly: "Send the order, all troops, immediately change their outfits. To the people of Suizhong County, show the best side of our Ninth Army...>

"Chief of staff, call back immediately. Our 236 regiment lived up to expectations and successfully occupied Suizhong County Cheng...>

Sun Lianzhong changed positions by stealing positions, and successfully captured Suizhong and Lingyuan, completely blocking the exit passage of the Northeast Army.Upon receiving this news, Li Guosheng subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.

Because, by this time, the entire Liaoning Province has completely become the territory of the Ninth Army.

However, at this moment, a crisis that Li Guosheng did not expect appeared on the Anton battlefield.

The Kwantung Army withdrew all troops in Liaoning and stationed in Fengcheng. The [-]th Brigade of the Kwantung Army of the Anton Ninth Army also received an order to retreat.Still, he ordered.It's not just as simple as retreating.

Anton's Ninth Army dispatched all its main forces to cross the Yalu River.After the battle to encircle and wipe out the First Division of the Kwantung Army in Sinuiju started.The Kwantung Army's special high school sent the information that Anton's troops were empty to Major General Okamura Ningji.

Under the bold proposal of Major General Ningji Okamura.The [-]th Brigade of the Kwantung Army wēixié Anton's order from the side and rear directly became the [-]th Brigade to attack Andong, occupy Andong, and cut off the only channel for the Chinese army in North Korea to retreat.

As an organized brigade-level force in Liaoning Province, in order to better control its movements, the special operations division deployed a full team of special operations members to monitor his every move 24 hours a day.

The information that the Kwantung Army's Fourth Brigade withdrew from Fengcheng and turned to Andong reached Li Guosheng's ears immediately.but.In Li Guosheng's view, the Kwantung Army's withdrawal from the Fourth Brigade had only one ultimate goal: to rescue the Sinuiju First Division, and even to defend the Kwantung Army's headquarters.

Therefore, Li Guosheng did not distract too much attention from the Fourth Brigade, which was moving into the Anton area.

However, just when Li Guosheng didn't pay much attention to the Fourth Brigade, the Fourth Brigade dealt a fatal blow to Li Guosheng's Ninth Army at a critical moment.Almost led to the annihilation of Zhang Zizhong's army who marched into North Korea.

The [-]th Brigade carrying a heavy artillery unit suddenly changed its marching direction and launched a fierce attack on Andong County under the cover of the heavy artillery unit...

When this news was passed to Li Guosheng's headquarters.Commander-in-Chief Li Guosheng, because the news came so suddenly, stopped all the work in his hand.He was stunned on the spot.

Then, when I thought of Anton being occupied by the Kwantung Army.A series of adverse effects that may be brought to the entire war situation.For the first time, beads of sweat appeared on Li Guosheng's forehead because of fear.Facing the deputy chief of staff in front of him.asked eagerly.

"Deputy Chief of Staff Xiong, how many troops did Commander Zhang Zizhong leave in Anton..."

"Reporting to the chief, Anton's current regular garrison is only one 241 regiment. In addition, in addition to the main force of the 241 regiment of 3000 people, there are also police forces and local troops with a total of 1000 garrison battalions..."

Li Guosheng asked in a deep voice: "That is to say, our garrison in Anton has only 4000 people at full strength... and the [-]th Brigade of the Kwantung Army, plus the heavy artillery unit assigned to them, has a total of more than [-] people...>

"Yes, Chief...>

Commander-in-Chief Li Guosheng analyzed to himself: "Four thousand against [-] elite Japanese troops...>

At this moment, Xiong Shaowen, the deputy chief of staff, reminded: "Chief, there is one more thing you forgot... The Japanese don't have air support, but we do... As long as we can find a way to eat the Japanese heavy artillery unit, the defenders The pressure will be reduced a lot, and the persistence time will be longer...>

Li Guosheng didn't take it seriously in most people's minds like Deputy Chief of Staff Xiong Shaowen.

You must know that the active officers of the Kwantung Army above the rank of chief officer are basically veterans who have experienced the Russo-Japanese War.In front of these veterans, there is absolutely only one chance to air strike the opponent's artillery position.

Li Guosheng believed that after experiencing the bloody battle outside Anshan City, all Kwantung Army units would put the air defense of artillery positions at the top of the battle, and would not give the Ninth Army Air Force any chance to bomb its own artillery units.

After shaking his head, he said: "We can't pin all our hopes on the Air Force. After all, the Japanese commander is not a fool. Therefore, we must think of a solution from ourselves... >

Having said that, Li Guosheng's gaze shifted to the map again.

After analyzing the latest comparison between the enemy and our troops in the three northeastern provinces, he said to himself: "The two cities closest to Andong are Sinuiju and Benxi. The battle in Sinuiju has entered a short-term stalemate. It is also necessary to take on the task of attracting the Japanese escort fleet, so, no matter what, it cannot be mobilized... >

Having said that, Li Guosheng's attention has already been placed on Shenyang, which was just occupied by the armored division.He asked Deputy Chief of Staff Xiong Shaowen again: "Deputy Chief of Staff Xiong, if we send out an armored brigade, plus an infantry regiment that is completely transported by car, from Shenyang to Anton. How long will it take..."

After taking a simple measurement on the map, Xiong Shaowen replied: "General seat. According to the map, the marching route from Shenyang to Andong is about [-] kilometers. And the long-distance attack speed of our armored group is [-] kilometers per hour. As long as the troops Carry enough fuel. It is absolutely possible to reach the outside of Andong City within ten hours."

Li Guosheng quickly exuded a fierce murderous aura.Facing Xiong Shaowen in front of him, he ordered decisively: "Very well, if this is the case, then let the Anton defenders hold out for ten hours. After ten hours, with the cooperation of the Shenyang reinforcements, using the powerful assault capabilities of the armored cluster, Outside Anton City. Annihilating the Fourth Brigade of the Kwantung Army...>

Outside the city of Andong County, as the battle continued, an hour ago, there was still an empty ground.At this moment, hundreds of corpses in various poses have been discarded by the Kwantung Army in a messy manner.

Under the counterattack of the powerful automatic and semi-automatic firepower of the light infantry, the Kwantung Army attacked Andong County twice in a row, all of which ended in failure.Watching helplessly, half of the soldiers of the squadron fell on the attack road again.The heart of the Captain of the First Brigade of the Seventh Wing was more painful than being cut by a knife.

After stopping the third squadron that was about to continue the attack.Captain Zitian Shaozuo quickly walked towards the not-too-distant joint captain.

Facing the same gloomy-looking captain, he begged in pain: "Commander, the firepower of the Chinese is too fierce. There are no less than twenty light and heavy machine guns deployed just in front of us. So The powerful firepower continues to attack like this, and the entire brigade will be smashed outside Anton City..."

The captain of the Da Zuo Lian also felt heartbroken, but.After thinking of the brigade commander's murderous order, he still let out a helpless sigh.asked coldly.

"Don't be so offensive, do you have any other options?"

In a situation where the life and death of the entire brigade was at stake, Shao Zuo Zitian was not afraid of offending the captain when he was questioned by the captain.

Facing the captain, he suggested: "Fire support, Your Excellency the captain, our department needs artillery support... If we can't destroy or suppress the machine gun firepower deployed by the opponent on the city wall, our officers and soldiers will not be able to approach the city wall at all... >

After a short hesitation, facing Shao Zuo Zitian's firm gaze looking at him, the captain still nodded.

He opened his mouth and ordered: "The heavy artillery unit is impossible to use...>

Although mountain cannons are not as good as large-caliber heavy artillery, they are artillery after all, which can suppress the city wall defenders to a certain extent.On Shaozuo Zitian's face, a touch of emotion quickly flashed across his face, and he thanked the captain of the captain: "Thank you for your support, the captain, I promise to complete the task...>

"Boom boom boom... >

Fiery shells, mixed with sharp whistling sounds, precisely landed on the city wall, rolling up huge balls of fire.

Under the cover of infantry artillery and mountain artillery, all the mortars, grenadiers, and heavy machine guns equipped by the first brigade moved forward quickly.A simple line of defense was built at a distance of 500 meters from the city wall.

Subsequently, dozens of mortars and grenades also joined the firepower strike.

However, the arrogance of the Kwantung Army outside the city can only be maintained for the initial one or two minutes.

The artillery position had just opened fire, and several dive bombers that had been cruising over Anton, like eagles spotting their prey, quickly rushed to the ground.

The sharp whistling sound of the fighter plane diving was heard, and several black bombs had already left the belly of the fighter plane, and under the action of inertia, they precisely hit the artillery positions of the Kwantung Army.

A strong explosion sounded, and the six mountain cannons and two infantry cannons on the artillery position, like children's toys, were instantly blown into a pile of scrap metal by aerial bombs.

Six dive bombers bombed for two consecutive rounds, and the two artillery positions deployed by the Kwantung Army outside the city were all turned into ruins.

"You little devils, let's see how arrogant you are, and have the ability to take out all your artillery. Let's see whether your artillery is more powerful or our planes are more powerful...>

subsequently.He turned to the deputy company commander beside him and asked, "Old Wang, are you okay? Don't let the little devil's shells bite you... >

The deputy company commander with a disheveled face, patted the dust on his body, and replied to Li Ruihua: "Old Li, don't worry, the little devil wants to blow up my shells, but he hasn't researched it yet...>

Li Ruihua nodded, raised his binoculars, glanced at the situation of the Japanese army outside the city wall through the gap in the city wall.He ordered to the deputy company commander: "The artillery positions of the little devils have been destroyed. If there is no accident, they will definitely stop for a while. In this way, you should immediately count the casualties of the troops and send all the wounded. In addition, notify the logistics squad. Replenish ammunition for each squad..."

The 241st Regiment, which was standing on the front line of the city wall, took advantage of the gap between the Kwantung Army's offensive and "licked" its own wounds.Tang Guangrui, head of the 241 regiment headquarters in the city.Chief of Staff Huang Zhenghua...>

And at this moment, a communications staff officer walked over quickly.He said to Tang Guangrui and the others: "Tuan Zuo, Chief of Staff, with a series of urgent calls, the little devils outside the city have started shelling..."

The head of the group Tang Guangrui's eyes lit up.He opened his mouth and ordered: "Bombardment, the little devils are finally willing to use their heavy artillery. Then what are you doing in a daze? Contact the air force immediately and destroy their heavy artillery wing. Otherwise. In the battle tonight, our 241st regiment will be killed by the little devils." The heavy artillery was crushed and hit...>

The communications staff officer quickly shook his head and said, "Tuan Zuo, the little devil doesn't use heavy artillery..."

"One company just called. The artillery position of the Japanese army has been destroyed by the air force. The Japanese heavy artillery has not been exposed. In addition, after more than an hour of fighting, the company has lost more than forty people..."

Hearing this, the dignified expression on Tang Guangrui's face became deeper.

After a long sigh, he said to Huang Zhenghua, the chief of staff in front of him: "Old Huang, it seems that the little devil on the other side is very cunning. Knowing that we have air support during the day, he hid all the heavy artillery. Now it seems that tonight, there will be A fierce battle awaits us...>

"A fierce battle is certain..." Chief of Staff Huang Zhenghua affirmed.

Then, after a long sigh, he said, "Now I just hope that after the first battle, our 241 regiment can still leave some seeds..."

The head of the regiment Tang Guangrui nodded approvingly, and said to the combat staff officer in front of him with a serious expression: "Tell the first company commander, in addition to reinforcements, how many weapons and ammunition he wants, I will give them to him." How many reinforcements. But there is one thing, no matter how much the price is paid, the company must guard me until six o'clock in the evening..."

"Yes, group seats..."

When Tang Guangrui, head of the 241 regiment, issued the order, the 2th Kwantung Army Brigade had already launched its fourth attack on Andong County.Although the artillery attack just now ended with the destruction of the entire artillery force, the commander in charge of the attack, Shao Zuo Zitian, believed that the [-]-minute artillery attack was enough to cause large-scale damage to the Chinese defenders on the city wall.

Therefore, the remaining two infantry squadrons of the first brigade, under the order of Shao Zuo Zitian, all went to the battlefield.

The four hundred elite Japanese soldiers patted a few loose lines of skirmishers, and under the cover of heavy machine guns behind them, they slowly pressed towards the city wall.

And at this moment, the weapons and ammunition needed by the company commander were also delivered to the city wall by the supply squad.

Although the strength of the entire company lost one-third, the number of machine gun equipment, not only did not decrease, but increased to more than double what it was before the war.

The Japanese army had just attacked, and twenty machine guns mounted on tripods were quickly sent to the gap in the city wall.Under the sun's rays, the gun barrels emitting a faint blue light, under the control of the machine gunner, slowly protruded from the gap.At the same time, the full chain of 250 rounds of ammunition was sent into the gun chamber very neatly by the feeder.

There was a crisp metal impact sound, and there were twenty heavy machine guns, all loaded and ready to fire.

Of course, just as the twenty heavy machine guns were ready for battle, dozens of riflemen were scattered among the heavy machine guns.Also began to prepare for the upcoming battle.

Magazines filled with bullets were placed in the most convenient positions.Hand grenades were also placed beside me...

At this moment, the entire city wall is like a huge trap that devours the lives of little devils, waiting for the Japanese army to arrive.

800m…600m…500m…>

Similar to the attack just now, the Japanese army accompanied the team to attack with more than a dozen heavy machine guns, which were quickly set up at a distance from the city wall.They lined up, facing the city wall, and began to shoot hot tongues of flames, hitting the edge of the city wall with bullets and rain... >

The first company equipped with more advanced heavy machine guns, of course, will not be passively beaten.

As soon as the Japanese heavy machine guns opened fire, the company commander Li Ruihua, who was in charge of commanding all the heavy machine gunners, ordered loudly: "The first ten groups of heavy machine guns, open fire immediately, suppress and destroy the Japanese heavy machine gun positions. The last ten groups of heavy machine guns, give me the right The quasi-little devils attack the troops, hit...the artillery platoon, aim at the little devils' heavy machine gun positions, and fire...>

"Da da da...>

With the rate of fire of the machine gun far exceeding twice that of the Type [-] heavy machine gun, the Japanese army's heavy machine gun positions were immediately bombarded with bullets.With the condescending advantage, the Japanese heavy machine gunners had nowhere to hide.When a rain of bullets swept across, the Japanese army's heavy machine gun positions would leave corpses and wounded all over the place.

In a blink of an eye, the 12 Japanese Type [-] heavy machine guns had to stop because of the loss of a large number of heavy machine gunners.

At this moment, the Japanese troops in charge of the attack also began to be hit by the firepower of ten heavy machine guns.

Although the troops of the Japanese attacking troops were very scattered, they would always run into one or two unlucky Japanese soldiers as soon as they swept across with hot bullets.Under the counterattack of ten heavy machine guns, although the advance speed of the Japanese attacking troops did not slow down, the price they paid was getting bigger and bigger.

When the four hundred little devils successfully advanced to the best range of 300 meters for semi-automatic rifles, there were already at least one hundred Japanese soldiers, either dead or injured, lying on the attack road, unable to move... (To be continued. Mobile phone users please to read.)
