Republic of China game

Another talent. It turns out that the Whampoa Military Academy lowered the threshold for some admissions or recruited some talents.Although this Zhou Ling's political quality is not very good, and he doesn't know the difference between the Three People's Principles and militarism at all, but he is still a bit talented in military affairs, and he guessed Luo Yaoguo's intentions.In order not to scare Yang Sen away and prolong the time to pacify Sichuan, Luo Yaoguo specifically "asked" Dan Nugang to be merciful and not to overwhelm Yang Sen's two attacking troops at once.

"Hey! Then we have to be cannon fodder." Shuai Lun is really envious of the artillery brothers now. The infantry looks like cannon fodder now, curled up in the trenches and the artillery holes and shivering, praying for the blessings of all the gods. Don't let the shells hit you.

Seeing the Tueryan on the opposite side being blasted into a sea of ​​flames by his own Simenshan cannon, Wang Zhengjun was able to smile to Fan Haer beside him: "Brother Hai Ting, how are you? Look at those turtle sons are not even bored!" Don’t dare to fart anymore? Hehe, I don’t think there are many living things on that rabbit rock, right?”

"What General Zhaokui (Wang Zhengjun's word) said is that your third division has to go into this kind of tough battle, and my Pao brothers are only worthy of cheering for you." Fan Ha'er laughed loudly. The humility of the face.He, the helmsman of Pao Ge, would not dare to make trouble in front of a strong general like Wang Zhengjun, who is Yang Sen's favorite general.

As soon as the 10-minute shelling stopped, a brigade of the [-]rd Division of the Sichuan Army under the command of the brigade commander Yu Mengqun launched the first round of fierce attack on Tueryan Highland.This time, the essence of the Sichuan army was invested, the two regiments led by Yuan Zhi and Yang Hong. They are well-known thugs in the Sichuan army, and their troops are naturally not weak.Three thousand officers and soldiers in gray military uniforms and big-brimmed hats carried Sichuan-made rifles with long bayonets attached to them.On the ground that has been plowed into a piece of scorched earth by artillery fire, a battle formation is formed, and it slowly approaches the Tueryan Highland from the east and north.Behind them are two machine gun companies carrying water-cooled heavy machine guns, ready to provide fire support at any time.

The gunpowder smoke on the Tueryan position had not yet cleared, hundreds of national army officers and soldiers got out of nowhere, and quickly ran to their posts with their waists down, ready to face the enemy several times their own.Shuai Lun and Zhou Ling also got out of the blast hole, and went together to a bunker on the top of the high ground specially prepared for the battalion headquarters.

Seeing a large group of enemies in the distance approaching slowly with cold bayonets, Shuai Lun's heart shuddered even more, and he was almost intimidated by the aura of the enemy.Unexpectedly, the Sichuan Army, which has always been looked down upon by others, could launch such an aggressive attack. Shuai Lun put away his contempt, and turned his head to look at the artillery observer Zhou Ling, his eyes full of expectation.

"Azimuth 7-55, distance 410, intensive bombing." Zhou Ling had already picked up the phone to guide the artillery battalion.

Because the number of enemies is large, and the formation is very scattered, there is no need to test fire, and a few can be knocked down in the opposite direction. However, it is unrealistic to repel the enemy's attack with artillery as before. of.Unless it is equipped with a large number of heavy artillery including 150mm howitzers like the infantry divisions of the European powers.

铜梁县城下的26师炮营阵地上现在是一片忙碌，一团团的白烟不停的在阵地上空升起散开，随后才是连成一片已经分不出个数的炮弹出膛的声音！数百发75mm炮弹被26师炮营的官兵以最快的速度打向了四公里外的兔儿岩阵地前沿。忙完了兔儿岩这边，紧接着炮营的12门山炮又要调转炮口将另外数百发炮弹送往铜梁县城以北的77团防御阵地前沿用来杀伤正在全线猛攻77团阵地的川军第五师。

The officers and soldiers of the 76st Battalion of the [-]th Regiment lying in the Tueryan position suddenly felt the ground tremble, and then the "rumbling" explosion swept the entire land under the Tueryan like thunder.The flames bursting out from the shell explosion and the shock wave sweeping across everything instantly caused catastrophic damage to the slowly approaching Sichuan army.The three thousand soldiers of the Sichuan Army with lofty aspirations were immediately submerged by a thicket of smoke pillars, and fragments of artillery shells, representing the god of death, flew around, sweeping down the unshielded officers and soldiers of the Sichuan Army one by one!

"Kill ah-"

The devastating shelling had just swept across the Sichuan Army Brigade, and the surviving Sichuan Army officers and soldiers did not disperse like birds and beasts.Instead, he stood up quickly, brushed off the dust on his body, and braving the gunpowder smoke that hadn't dissipated, he yelled and rushed towards the high ground guarded by the national army, as if he wanted to use his own flesh and blood to drown the surrounded area. Build a position as strong as an iron barrel.

"Da da da——" Dozens of Min 13 heavy machine guns deployed on the high ground began to roar. These automated killing machines swept the brave officers and soldiers of the Sichuan Army row by row at a rate of fire of hundreds of bullets per minute. , the Tueryan plateau began to gradually fill up with corpses.The battle for the Tueryan Highland has entered a fierce state since the beginning. Thousands of Sichuan Army officers and soldiers rushed towards the fire net formed by the heavy machine gun fire, using their flesh and blood to open the way forward for their companions. In this way, the first round of shock waves composed of three thousand Sichuan Army officers and soldiers finally attacked the high ground of Tueryan.Grenades from both sides began to fly all over the sky.

This kind of wooden handle grenade was the most important equipment of the Chinese army during the Republic of China, even surpassing the rifle.Hand grenades do not require high levels of training for officers and soldiers, as long as they can throw stones and remember to pull the string, they can fight.And the lethality of these gadgets at close range cannot be underestimated.

From the beginning of the grenade fight, it was the Kuomintang army's turn to be unlucky. Who made them fewer?Fewer people naturally throw fewer grenades, and naturally fewer enemies can be hit.Although the quality of the hand grenades produced by the Ishii Armory on the Kuomintang side is very high, what the Sichuan army is using now is not a defective product made in Sichuan, but a stock made in Hanyang. They are the elite of Yang Sen!Over the years, Yang Sen got a lot of good things from Wu Ziyu.

Between the two armies, thousands of grenades flew back and forth. From time to time, there was a "boom" explosion in the positions of the national army and the crowd of the Sichuan army, followed by a burst of explosions from the wounded soldiers who were blown up without arms and legs. The burst of wailing is really heartbreaking to hear!

"Long live Prime Minister Sun! Go!" Seeing that the battle has reached a critical moment, Shuai Lun had no choice but to bite the bullet and shouted the slogan representing "Long Live Assault", and was the first to charge out with a Min 13 submachine gun. trench.Following him were hundreds of officers and soldiers from the 76st Battalion of the [-]th Regiment.

Dozens of Min 13 submachine guns "suddenly" spouting flames immediately covered the heads of the Sichuan Army soldiers who were about to fight bayonets.Naturally, these Sichuan troops located in remote places in the western frontier cannot be equipped with such terrifying weapons that can sweep across a large area. Dozens of submachine guns spit out hundreds of hot bullets at a distance of more than ten meters in an instant, and they were caught off guard. Immediately, the Sichuan army screamed like ghosts and wolves, and retreated one after another. The first wave of the Sichuan army's offensive seemed to have collapsed.

Chapter 0179

This time, Yang Sen dispatched two more divisions than originally planned. These two divisions are Yang Hanyu's Eighth Division and Xiang Shurong's No.11 Division. These two divisions were assigned to the first road by Yang Sen. and third way.

Just when Yang Sen's second army attacked Tongliang and the 26th division of the Kuomintang defenders was in a stalemate, the first offensive against Wusheng and the third offensive against Yongchuan started almost simultaneously.The entire battle of Pingchuan has entered a state of intense heat from the very beginning.

At this time, the Chongqing Camp of the Military Commission of the Nationalist Government near Chuqimen in Chongqing was also in an extremely hectic atmosphere.Luo Yaoguo is sitting here right now, putting all his energy into dealing with the incoming battle reports.

"Report, I received the latest battle report from the 26th Division." A young lieutenant hurried into the combat command room of the camp with a document in his hand.

Luo Yaoguo, Jiang Baili, He Guoguang, and Dan Nugang were sitting around a huge military map to study the battle situation. Hearing the latest battle report, Luo Yaoguo didn't look up and just said softly: "Read."

"From 12 o'clock today, the enemy's troops of about three divisions stormed the Tu'eryan position and the northern position of Tongliang County in two directions. The enemy used the eight-door mountain artillery as a cover, and each time about one brigade of troops attacked our two main positions. The position, despite repeated battles and defeats, still continued to attack. As of the power generation, our division has repelled the enemy's onslaught six times. There are corpses piled up in the north of Tongliang City and in front of the Tu'eryan position. It is estimated that more than [-] enemies have been killed. Now The enemy used the corpses as a base to advance the front line to a distance of [-] meters from our forward position, and used machine rifles and mortars to shoot at our troops at close range, and our division suffered about [-] casualties."

"Okay!" Luo Yaoguo slapped the table and laughed loudly: "General Yu won the first battle, I want to ask the Military Commission for credit for him!"

However, Luo Yaoguo was still a little surprised by the Sichuan army's performance this time. It was still such a hot day to build a fortification with corpses.It seems that the enemy cannot be underestimated!I don't know what happened to An Sihua's end now?

……

The opponent of the North Route Army commanded by An Sihua was another general under Yang Sen, Wang Yanxu, who was nicknamed "Wang Laoluan".However, this time Wang Lao sent troops to fight in a random manner, and it was not chaotic at all, at least it was not chaotic at the beginning.The four divisions he commanded nearly 100 troops, with Yang Hanyu's [-]th Division as the vanguard, marched toward Wusheng County along the road on the east bank of the Jialing River.Along the way, he took down many villages and towns "like a broken bamboo". After walking for more than [-] miles, he did not encounter any opponents until he reached a small town named Taipingpu.

Defending this small town by the Jialing River is the 14th Regiment of the No.[-] Division of the Kuomintang. The head of the regiment, Wei Yunsong, is an old man from the Guangxi Clique. He graduated from the Xijiang Lecture Hall and served as the deputy battalion commander and battalion commander of the engineer battalion in the former Guangxi First Division. Quite a military exploit, and now he has been promoted to regiment commander.Probably because of his engineering background, Wei Yunsong still has a lot of experience in fighting defensive warfare.As soon as the [-]th Regiment entered Taipingpu, they began construction day and night, digging a circular fortification across the middle of the road.The whole fortification is based on the network of trenches and traffic trenches, supported by a large number of machine gun bunkers, plus dozens of solid artillery holes, and finally the artillery bunkers of the regiment's mortar company as the core.On the periphery of the circular fortifications, the engineering company of the [-]th Regiment also laid a large number of mines, arranged barbed wire, and dug hundreds of traps.The entire circular fortification is like a porcupine with sharp spikes, quietly crawling in the middle of the road, waiting for an unknown opponent to come and die.

At 6:1 pm on June 1, Yang Hanyu's [-]th Division's vanguard regiment was the first to bump into it head-on.This unit is obviously a little inexperienced. The Eighth Division of the Sichuan Army is based on a cavalry regiment plus some miscellaneous leftovers and militias. It is a unit used to strengthen the momentum.Now being sent out by Wang Laoluan to take the lead, it is destined to be a tragedy.

"Da da da——" This is the sound of a machine gun. What should I do when I hear the sound of a machine gun?Get down!Uh, that's probably the case, so the battalion at the forefront of the Sichuan Army's Eighth Division's vanguard regiment, except for their battalion commander, all lay down on the ground, motionless, really afraid of death.

"Get up! Get up for me! Their machine guns are still far away! Get up and spread out." A small Sichuanese who was probably the battalion commander yelled at the top of his voice. He was a platoon leader not long ago and had no I have received no formal military education, but I have been fighting to death for many years, and I still have a lot of experience.He heard that the machine gun was four to five hundred meters away, and it couldn't hit them at all.

still far?So you have to lie down!If you don't get up on your stomach, don't you have to move on?So that damn machine gun is close to us.That is the machine gun that is known as the best shot, and the father and mother raised it for nothing!Ge Laozi, whoever stands up is stupid!

All the brothers in the Sichuan Army have this idea in their hearts. They are all gangsters who just eat and drink.I don't know if it's because he didn't do good deeds on weekdays and bullied the common people too much. He got retribution and was caught by that Marshal Yang and sent to the battlefield to die.But these people don't know that they are dead, and they still fantasize about surviving on the battlefield full of gunfire, so that they can make out with their wives again when they go back!

The battlefield should be full of artillery fire, so at the moment when the brothers of the Sichuan Army were lying still and hiding from the machine guns, huge clusters of flames suddenly rose among them, followed by bursts of loud noises of "rumbling——".Immediately, sparks flew everywhere, smoke and dust were chaotic, and broken limbs were blown apart from time to time, flying around.This is the mortar of the [-]th Regiment showing off its power. First use a machine gun to frighten the enemy, make the enemy lie down and stay still, and then serve with a series of mortars. This is one of the standard tactics of the Kuomintang army now, and it is ineffective against experienced opponents. Yes, it's just right to bully the recruits.

This burst of mortars brought a devastating disaster to this battalion of officers and soldiers of the Sichuan Army. The shock wave from the explosion of the cannonball rolled into the air, and then hit it hard again, killing him on the spot.

"What?" Yang Hanyu's expression was dead. After listening to the staff's report, he already knew that something was wrong.Of course he has seen mortars and so on, but he has never even heard of mortars that fire so accurately. Isn't this something to watch and listen to?How could it knock down most of the battalion at once?

"Pass my order." Yang Hanyu used to wait for Yang Sen to pass the order to him to do so, now he has to pass the order himself, but what order?He thought for a while, imitating the tone of Yang Sen's order, and said: "The No. 20 Third Brigade is ordered to take down Taipingpu before sunset today, and those who violate the military law will be punished!"

Know that the boss wants to march! Brigadier Wang of the 23rd Brigade did not dare to be negligent, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and start organizing his subordinate battalions to die.

The battle of Taipingpu was extremely bloody and fierce from the very beginning, and of course this was all for Yang Hanyu's Eighth Division.There are too many new recruits in this army, and there is no other tactics other than the group charge of the whole regiment and battalion.The first wave of charge consisted of a battalion of about [-] people forming an untidy phalanx, holding crude Sichuan-made rifles, and walking slowly towards the impenetrable circular fortification, as if they were going to the execution ground rather than the battlefield .

"Clap--"

Sparse gunshots started to ring out, and Yang Hanyu, who was supervising the battle behind him, was startled again. Hearing this sound, he knew it was a good gun. It was much better than the Sichuan-made guns of his own army. Even the Hanyang-made guns given by Marshal Wu must be inferior, no Do you know where these Cantonese guys got it from?

At this time, the battalion of the Sichuan Army was still four to 500 meters away from the position of the 13th Regiment of the National Army.So the ones who fired were the snipers wandering in the forward positions. These insidious guys were holding scopes in their hands, and they were specially selected Min 1000 rifles with high accuracy.It can accurately hit the enemy at a distance of about 500 meters, and it is almost a deadly killer with a gunshot at a distance of less than [-] meters.Their target was not the poor trembling recruits, but the Sichuan Army officers in beautiful uniforms with short guns.As long as these people are knocked down, the remaining recruits will probably be scattered.

However, things backfired. Although these Sichuan soldiers lacked training and experience, it did not mean that they were stupid and kept rushing despite knowing the danger ahead.As soon as the snipers opened fire, the Sichuan army camp dispersed immediately. The officers and soldiers each found a concealed place to hide, and then "crackling" fired back, and the battlefield was filled with gunpowder immediately.And it turned out that the Sichuan army had the upper hand, because only a few snipers on the National Revolutionary Army side were firing, and everyone else was squinting in the trenches.With such a distance, if you are not a sniper, you will definitely waste bullets.And the Sichuan army didn't care about that many, and didn't consider that the rifles and bullets that Marshal Yang gave them had a limited range and a small number. Anyway, wherever they hit, it counts!Besides, if the bullets run out, maybe someone else can charge, right?

Chapter 0180

太平铺并不是一个孤立的据点，而是一条扼守川军南下之路的坚固防线中的一环。在太平铺环形工事的东边约2公里是国军李明瑞的14师41团所固守的响水滩阻击阵地，太平铺以约1200米的岩口乡则是由伍廷颺的14师42团固守。在这三个团身后的叶家山村便是夏威亲率的14师师直，其中包括一个拥有12门75mm山炮的炮兵营。

Yankou Township, Taipingpu, and Xiangshuitan are connected in a line, and a three-kilometer-long blocking position is deployed in front of the Sichuan army going south, completely blocking their only way.There are more than 13 people in the Seventh Army Junzhi and the No.1 Division led by Li Zongren hidden behind this line of defense. According to the plan, they will reach the army commanded by Wang Laoluan on another route through the detour troops led by An Sihua himself. When the [-] army was behind, they launched an attack together, and the north and south flanked and wiped out Yang Sen's main force in one fell swoop.

Shortly after the start of Taipingpu, the sound of gunfire came from the front line of Xiangshuitan. This is another brigade of Yang Hanyu and the 41st regiment commanded by Li Mingrui.The style of this brave and famous Guangxi general is obviously different from that of Wei Yunsong. Wei Yunsong is good at defending, while Li Mingrui likes to attack. Li Mingrui has no intention of defending a mere 3000-strong Sichuan army.

Before a brigade of the Sichuan army could disperse to form a battle formation, they were knocked upside down by a burst of dense mortar shells. Before the gunpowder smoke cleared, the national army brigades in gray uniforms poured down from the hillsides on both sides.Different from last year's swarming crowd, the current national army's training level has improved a bit. More than 2000 officers and soldiers formed a battle formation and rushed to the Sichuan army who hadn't recovered yet.

Those who rushed to the front of the line were middle and lower-level officers who had just graduated from the "remedial class" of the first phase of Whampoa and the second phase of Whampoa. They all held Min-13 submachine guns in their hands, and they charged and fired at the terrified enemy.There are also dozens of machine guns erected on the commanding heights, constantly supporting the infantry's charge with firepower.The 12 82mm caliber mortars of the mortar company are not idle now, but under the command of the observers with range finders, they shelled the firepower points of the Sichuan Army, basically preventing the Sichuan Army's machine guns from posing a threat.

"It's not good! It's not good! My brigade was ambushed at Xiangshuitan, and Brigadier Li died in battle!" A yelling school officer ran into the 2 kilometers north of Taipingpu. Inside a church, this is now Yang Hanyu's headquarters.

"What did you say?" Yang Hanyu, who was wearing a blue gown and holding a folding fan, jumped up from the bamboo floor and pushed away two beautiful girls who were as beautiful as flowers and jade.He walked up to the school official in three steps and two steps, grabbed his collar, and asked sharply, "Say it again, what's wrong with Li Haoyun?"

"The brigade commander is gone." The officer's voice trembled again, and he said again: "Our brigade was walking halfway, and the enemy's mortar fire came over before it launched. The brothers were caught off guard and suffered heavy casualties. Chang Ye was hit by a cannon, and it was over at that time. Before the smoke from the cannon fire cleared, they rushed over. There were all over the mountains and plains, and there were about 1 people! The brothers couldn't stand it anymore, so they sent me back to report , I beg the teacher to send troops quickly! If it’s too late, I won’t be able to see my brothers.”

With a sound of "Pa!", Yang Hanyu slapped his ear with a big slap!He scolded: "You are ten thousand! If you have ten thousand, you can run back! The enemy is at most two thousand! Come and change clothes, I will meet these rebels in person." This Yang Hanyu is Yang Sen's nephew, This time I was helping their family fight the world, so the enthusiasm was relatively high. I changed into the lieutenant general uniform of General Xingxing in two steps, walked out of the church in two steps in three steps, and rushed to the reinforcements with a model team. up.

The model regiment, of course, is composed of model officers and soldiers. This is the elite of the Eighth Division. At that time, every warlord had such troops in their hands, and they were pulled out to charge at critical moments.For Yang Hanyu, now is a critical moment. He only has three brigades in total, how could he send one off on the first day?How can I meet people in the future?

"Zhenggang." Seeing through the binoculars, there was a group of Sichuan troops running towards here in the distance. Li Mingrui sneered, and called Li Zhenggang, the reconnaissance platoon leader of the Division Artillery Battalion. He smiled and said, "Have you finished the measurement? Yes." Please let the artillery battalion go out?"

The artillery battalion has two artillery companies and a reconnaissance company. Now the artillery reconnaissance company has established observation posts in the three blocking positions of Xiangshuitan, Taipingpu and Yankou Township, and can guide the artillery battalion to carry out shelling at any time.So Li Mingrui wanted the artillery battalion to block the enemy's reinforcements.

"Boom—" A round of shells exploded around Yang Hanyu's model regiment and missed, but the distance was not very far.
