Republic of China game

In the county government of Lingbao County, senior officers of the First Army of the National Army sat around a table.Part of this yamen was burned down in the battle not long ago, and where did the roof go?You can count the stars while sleeping at night, but it's just... a bit cold.Now this is Feng Yuxiang's headquarters!It's not that there are better houses in Lingbao County, but who made Commander Feng love the people like his son and his soldiers like his son?His old man would rather live in such a house than disturb the people.

Now, Feng Yuxiang, commander-in-chief of the National Army and commander of the First Army, division commanders Zhang Zhijiang, Liu Yufen, Song Zheyuan, Li Mingzhong, Lu Zhonglin, staff officers at all levels, brigade commanders and regiment commanders, all gathered together in this dilapidated house.This was Feng Yuxiang's own out-of-pocket treat. There was rice, steamed buns, some unidentifiable meat, some ugly vegetables, and some white wine. Officers at all levels ate a helihulu.The hearts of those middle and lower level officers were naturally moved to the extreme.Uh, what a handsome man!In such a difficult situation, you still paid for our own toothbrush, how can you not be worthy of the kindness of the commander if you don't work hard now!

Feng Yuxiang also looked a little thinner, and he was a little haggard with an unshaven beard.He didn't eat anything, but looked at his beloved generals with a kind smile on his face, waiting for everyone to clean up the "food" on the table.He just nodded lightly: "You are all Wang Zuozhi's talents, and you will be able to eat and drink spicy food under the command of the other commander... And I, Feng, can't help everyone! Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo..." As he spoke, it seemed The truth was revealed, and wept loudly.

Seeing the beloved marshal crying bitterly because the big guy didn't eat or drink, the five tigers and thirteen Taibao below naturally couldn't bear it anymore and yelled.

"Marshal, we follow you, old man, it is a blessing that we have cultivated in several lifetimes..."

"Yes, Marshal, you must take care of yourself...don't cry, what shall we do!"

"Master! The difficulties we are facing right now with you must be temporary! As long as we conquer Henan, isn't it..."

"That's right! Commander, just give the order! The brothers below can't wait to teach this bastard surnamed Wu a lesson!"

Seeing that the atmosphere was almost over, Feng Yuxiang stood up and bowed deeply to everyone.All the officers also hurriedly stood up and bowed to Feng Yuxiang.

When Feng Yuxiang raised his head, there was no kindness on his face, but a murderous look on his face: "Now, it is the time for the survival of our national army! Wu Peifu's rebel army has concentrated its main force on our eastern expedition. On the road, Shanzhou is dangerously deployed. If our army fails to break through the defense line of Shanzhou, it will be dragged to death by the enemy and starved to death! I have decided to launch a full-line attack on the enemy's front!"

"Down with Wu Peifu! Long live Commander Feng!"

"Long live! Long live!"

The officers who reacted raised their arms and shouted, equally murderous!The morale of the senior generals in the national army seemed to be boosted by Feng Yuxiang in an instant.

Feng Yuxiang looked at the generals with cold eyes: "The life and death of our National Army is a battle! I hope that you will work hard and report the victory soon! Now the commander-in-chief ordered that the first army of the National Army be ready, and it is scheduled to be launched on November 30." Launch an attack on the first day of the month. The whole army of five divisions will go to battle, and Shanzhou must be conquered in one battle! Ten days later, I want to see the flag of the National Army flying above the Xigong Camp in Luoyang! Within [-] days, our flag will fly in the Over the entire Henan province!"

……

Luo Yaoguo has temporarily become Deng Yanda's "chief of staff", although his military rank is one level higher than Deng Yanda's.The 21st Division was led by Deng Yanda and assisted by Luo Yaoguo. Jiang Guangnai's No.40 First Brigade, Li Yunlong's No.40 Second Brigade, Li Jicai's Cavalry Brigade, and Deng Shizeng's Artillery Corps were mobilized, with a total strength of more than [-] troops.

The temperature in the 20s was obviously colder than that of later generations. Although it was only the end of October, it was already cold and windy, as if it was a severe winter.However, compared with the severe cold in Saibei, it is nothing.It was very easy for the officers and soldiers from Chahar to march in this temperature.On the edge of the North China Plain, a long yellow dragon was rolling forward. Infantry, artillery, heavy soldiers, and civilian husbands in old padded jackets were driving carts all the way south.On both sides and front and back of the marching team, there were groups of elite cavalry riding horses, galloping back and forth, providing cover for the army.Farther away, there are cavalry squads serving as reconnaissance and security, and they are also responsible for eliminating the spies and scouts of the Zhi-Anhui coalition forces.

Deng Yanda and Luo Yaoguo are sitting side by side in a luxury car belonging to Pacific Trading Company.Luo Yaoguo held the information he had just received in his hand, and his expression was a little solemn.

"Brother Zesheng, the cavalry reconnaissance shows that the Zhijun has built a lot of fortifications around Anyang City. Judging from the scale of the fortifications, there may be about one division defending Anyang City. The Zhijun of a division is defending the city... This seems to be a bait, shall we fight it or not?"

Deng Yanda was silent for a while, and finally waved his hand: "Hit! Since Wu Peifu is willing to use a division as bait, how can we not eliminate them? Besides, even if the enemy has reinforcements, they will definitely not be able to escape the eyes of our cavalry. A brigade and an artillery regiment will try their best to eat up this enemy force, and let the cavalry guard around."

Luo Yaoguo raised his eyebrows, but didn't say anything else.Now Feng Yuxiang is making rapid progress in the west, and within ten days he has reached the vicinity of Shanzhou, which is only more than 100 kilometers away from Luoyang.Although this was very aggressive, it put great pressure on Wu Peifu.Now that he was under attack from both sides, perhaps he really couldn't mobilize too many reinforcements.And even if there are reinforcements, the leftist cavalry of the Kuomintang will definitely find out in time, and it will be a big deal to retreat to Handan at that time, there is nothing to worry about.Unless...the division in Anyang City can bite Deng Yanda's army.

Chapter 0300 battle (a)

November 15, [-]th year of the Republic of China.

The north wind was very strong, and there was a whistling wind around the position on the north bank of the Anyang River.This is a cold current from Siberia, which makes the land of North China in early November bleak.

Luo Yaoguo stood quietly in the hastily dug trench, holding a telescope to observe the situation on the other side of the river.The tall and majestic city wall of Anyang City is less than one kilometer away from the other side of the river.The Anyang River is obviously the first barrier of Anyang City. The Zhijun dug the first trench along the river, and it is unknown how many hidden firepower points were ambushed.Fortunately, the Anyang River is very narrow, and there is no rain in the drought, and the water is also shallow. It can't stop anything at all, but it just plays the role of a trench.

Now that the two armies are facing each other in Jiahe, the closest point between the two sides' positions is probably less than 1000 meters away, which is already within the range of snipers.However, looking at the bustling scenes of people coming and going on both sides of the battlefield, it is obvious that there is no such "special arm" as a sniper.If it were the main division of the National Revolutionary Army, the exchange of fire would have started long ago, right?

The early tactical actions of the offensive force have been completed, and the two infantry brigades have been deployed in battalion units.The cavalry brigade went around to the east and south of Anyang City, controlled the main passage leading to Anyang, and provided vigilance for the main force.

According to the plan of Luo Yaoguo and Deng Yanda, the two infantry brigades of the 21st Division of the Central Army, with nearly 36 officers and soldiers, and an artillery regiment with [-] Soviet-made mountain guns will all be thrown into the Anyang River defense line directly north of the enemy.Strive to break through the enemy's defense line in the shortest time with absolute superior force and superior firepower.

Luo Yaoguo looked down at his watch. It was now 10:36 am on November 76.2st, and there were still [-] minutes before artillery preparations would begin.He turned behind him, and not far away was the artillery position. The [-] [-]mm field guns had already taken off their camouflage, revealing their black muzzles.The gunners have already taken their positions and began to shake the barrels, while the ammunitionists are holding rounds of polished brass-colored shells, waiting for orders at any time.

Looking at the attack positions on both sides, the soldiers of the brigade were crowded together and looked at each other nervously. The rifles had already been equipped with sharp bayonets, and the young faces were a little ferocious and distorted at this moment.Most of them, today is the first time on the battlefield, right?And some of it will stay here forever...

……

Deng Shizeng, head of the Artillery Regiment of the 21st Division, waved his hand violently and shouted: "Let go!"

The ammunitionists pushed the bullets into the chamber violently, pulling the matchlocks one by one, and flames spewed out from each muzzle!

The artillery regiment of the 21st Central Division is located less than 1000 meters behind the starting position, and the direct fire distance is only about 2000 meters.Direct-firing guns are at their maximum power and accuracy at this distance.Even an artillery unit with a low level of training can accurately send shells to the enemy's position.

Deadly rounds of shells were sent into the barrel, and then sprayed out, dragging orange-red tail flames, spinning and flying towards the enemy's position.Without exception, the shells exploded on the enemy's positions.On the opposite side of the Anyang River, plumes of smoke suddenly rose up, sweeping all kinds of debris and smoke straight into the sky.Pillars of smoke rose almost simultaneously in rows, and it didn't take long for the entire south bank of the Anyang River to be enveloped in clumps of flames and thick smoke.

Fragments of bunkers were scattered on the opponent's position, covered by earthworks, and fragments of human bodies could be vaguely seen lifted into the sky.At the same time, countless metal fragments burst out due to the explosion of the shell, swept in under the action of the shock wave, harvesting the lives of the soldiers of the direct army piece by piece.The smell of gunpowder mixed with the smell of burning corpses filled the entire battlefield, floating slowly.Choking people out of breath.

The entire shelling took only 10 minutes, but more than 21 shells were destroyed, accounting for one-tenth of the total shell storage of the entire [-]st Division.The artillery positions are all piled up with shiny copper shell casings.At [-]:[-], the shelling stopped abruptly.At this time, the officers who led the charge stood up one after another, drew out their command sabers and pointed forward, and the infantry behind them rushed out!

While the smoke from artillery fire was still lingering over the enemy's position, the khaki-colored 21st Division's offensive troops rushed towards the Anyang River.In this season, the shallow Anyang River can be waded, so there is no preparation for crossing the river. The offensive troops of the 21st Division are obviously well-trained. Their charge is not a swarm, but a charge in waves formed in teams.More than a dozen Soviet-made M1910 heavy machine guns were dragged to both sides of the attacking force, firing sideways for fire support.The junior officers who led the charge and wore gold-thread caps all held Western-style command knives and rushed to the front of the queue.

At this time, Luo Yaoguo entered a shelter that had just been built, and continued to observe the battle on the front line with binoculars.While watching, he shook his head in his heart.The fighting style of this army seems to be still in the style before World War I, and there is no progress.There is basically no coordination between artillery and infantry, and the mortars don't know what they are doing?Why not suppress the enemy's machine gun positions?And what are those junior officers in beautiful military uniforms doing with their shiny western knives?Knock people?Or attract the firepower of enemy snipers?Fortunately, the opponent's level is not very high. If it were any of the twenty divisions of the national army, the battle would have been defeated, right?

The machine gun fire on the enemy's position was fired together, and the bullets roared like raindrops and splashed on the attacking troops of the 21st Division, cutting down the charging officers and soldiers like wheat.Fortunately, the formation of the charge was relatively scattered, and the officers and soldiers rushing behind were also quite clever, and they immediately got down on the ground and continued to move forward with the help of terrain and features.At the same time, they also shot back one after another. The dense and accurate rain of bullets stirred up small columns of smoke on several machine gun positions of the opponent.For a while, the offensive troops were also suppressed on the beach of Anyang River, unable to move.

……

Shanxian County was originally Shanzhou. In the second year of the Republic of China, the state was abolished and the county was established.The county seat of Shan County is bordered by Xiaoshan Mountain in the south and the Yellow River in the north, lying on the only road that Feng Yuxiang's national army must pass through when it marches eastward.It is the first natural barrier to defend Luoyang. Wu Peifu, who has lived in Henan for a long time, naturally knows the importance of Shan County, so he chose to deploy heavy troops here to make it an important stronghold to block the National Army.

It was Peng Shouxin, the former commander of the 15th Division, who defended Shan County.The five divisions owned by Wu Peifu got the designation of the five divisions of the Central Army after the "Three Alliances", while Peng Shouxin's No.[-] division got the designation of the first division.This division has always been the second most powerful force in the Zhijun Army after the Third Division, and it is also Wu Peifu's direct line unit. The year before last in Shanhaiguan, Fengjun's corpses piled up like a mountain.Now this elite direct army, which is good at fighting defensive warfare, was once again sent by Wu Peifu to the forefront against Feng Yuxiang.

After Peng Shouxin's first division arrived in Shanxian County, they began to build positions on the Lijiawa hillside in the south of Shanxian County.According to Peng Shouxin's defense plan, the two infantry brigades of the [-]st Division will be deployed on the Lijiawa Highland and Shanxian County respectively to form a corner.Relying on the city wall of the county seat and the high ground of Lijia'ao, it can inflict maximum damage on the invading enemy.

Like the Anyanghe front line, which was under heavy fire, Feng Yuxiang's National Army's offensive also started with bombardment.Feng Yuxiang's National Army now has eighteen Min 13-type 75mm mountain artillery. Speaking of these artillery, they were donated to the National Army by the Communist Party during the Beijing Revolution last year.However, due to the rebellion of the National Army, the Communist Party and the Soviet Union never gave them any weapons and equipment, not even supplementing them with shells.And Feng Yuxiang, who has never had much money, naturally would not buy it, so the shelling on the battlefield in Shan County was a bit perfunctory.A few shots were fired casually, and the National Army brigade carrying ladders rushed up the city wall of Shanxian County.

Chapter 0301 Battle Situation ([-])

Li Zhilong and Xuan Xiafu stood side by side on the artillery position of the 21st Division to watch the battle, both clutching a binoculars tightly in their hands.They have stood here motionless all morning.

The battle on the river beach on the south bank of the Anyang River was still going on. About two regiments of the 21st Division were scattered on the river beach about four kilometers away, fighting the enemy with rifles, machine guns and hand grenades all morning.The positions of the two sides are now only tens of meters away, and the 21 Soviet-made cannons of the 36st Division have lost their use.Even the dozens of mortars erected on the north bank of the Anyang River only fired cautiously, for fear of accidentally injuring their own people, so most of the shells hit the rear of the enemy's position.Now it is the rain of hand grenades that is prestige on the battlefield. This kind of cheap small bomb with a wooden handle is probably the most practical weapon in the civil war in this time and space.

Xuan Xiafu first put down the binoculars in his hand, and his eyebrows were tightly frowned: "Zaitian, you said that when they fight like this, when will the Henan campaign end! The current situation in Shanxi and Northeast is terrible..."

Li Zhilong also put down his binoculars, shook his head, and said with a wry smile: "The battlefield in Henan is already evenly matched. The 21st Division plus the National Army has only 10,000+ troops, which is slightly smaller than the Zhiwan Allied Forces. And judging from the battle this morning. The Anhui coalition army is not just paper, it seems that they will not be able to take Henan without a hard fight. Sword Soul, it seems that the task for you and me is very difficult to complete."

"Ah! All this incident is due to Sun Yat-sen. Originally, Mr. Liao had promised to cooperate with our party in seizing power in Shanxi, but...he just sent a warrant! Isn't this undermining the Prime Minister's three major policies!"

Li Zhilong next to him laughed, and turned his head to look at Xuan Xiafu who was complaining: "Sword Soul, isn't this Prime Minister Sun Yat-sen? He has the final right to interpret the three major policies. And...he is a bourgeois revolutionary after all. , has historical limitations, and it is normal not to see the core of today's political struggle in China. How can he understand the truth that the national revolution can only win if our party firmly controls Shanxi?"

Xuan Xiafu nodded: "The battle of Shanxi is now reaching a critical moment. The Red Army on the western front is progressing smoothly... and Datong on the northern front seems to be a fortified city that is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Now the 21 Red Army has been besieging for many days. It hasn't been defeated yet, it would be great if the [-]st division in front of me could be transferred to the city of Datong!"

……

Under the city of Shan County, Henan.

In the dense attacking queue of the national army, suddenly a column of smoke rose up.The national army's attack used dense crowd tactics. The dense gray military uniforms covered the entire battlefield like a big carpet. fill up.But this carpet of people is still moving forward at an extremely fast speed.The straight army's artillery fire plowed from the front to the back of the team, shrapnel flying and whistling in all directions, and every time there was an explosion, a cloud of blood mist rose.However, the officers and soldiers of the National Army still went straight forward without hesitation.

The artillery of the Zhijun Army undoubtedly tried its best to tilt the shells, but the National Army showed no signs of stagnation.In a blink of an eye, it has approached the low city wall of Shaanxi.At this time, there were already hundreds of rifles on the city wall, and the muzzles trembled slightly, but none of them fired at the crowds of people who were coming.

Feng Yuxiang, who was watching the battle from the opposite position, already felt that something was wrong, and water came out of the binoculars in his hands.This time Wu Peifu used to defend Shan County must be the main force of the main force, the elite of the elite!Otherwise, under the pressure of this crowd tactics, the terrified soldiers would have fired indiscriminately.And the opponent's current shooting discipline...can not only be obtained by training!Perhaps only by personally experiencing such a terrifying scene can one truly become a terrifying killing machine!

"Rifle—shoot!"

With the sound of passwords, the head of Shanxian County sounded.Immediately, rows of large and small flames flashed!The officers and soldiers of the national army who were hurriedly setting up the ladders in the city suddenly trembled and fell down a large piece.The screams also sounded one after another, and there were people who were dead or about to die everywhere.However, the national army is really brave and fearless. As long as it has a breath, it will always rush forward.
