Republic of China game

"Attention...attention...ready to fight!"

As usual, the shouts of the lower-level officers of the Soviet Red Army sounded after the enemy's shelling ended, and quickly spread throughout the trenches.Under the eyes of the political commissars who watched coldly, those unlucky ones who had huddled together pretended to be high-spirited, picked up their rifles or dragged their machine guns, and ran towards their combat posts one after another.

"Members of the Communist Party, members of the Communist Youth League, fighters of the Soviet! The time has come to defend your holy motherland! The invaders have... well, not yet set foot on the land of the great motherland, and we are here to stop their criminal footsteps! Stalin Comrades are looking at you in Moscow! For Stalin! For our great Bolshevik Party! For millions of Soviet citizens! Let us fight bravely! Long live Stalin! Long live the Bolshevik Party! Long live the Soviet Union!" This is the Soviet Red Army political cadre They are talking nonsense, and it is said that as long as the black is white, the dead are alive, and imperialism is socialism...the whole mankind will be liberated in the end.

After the political cadres finished talking nonsense, they all retreated to the second line, and at the same time directed their "Cheka soldiers" to start setting up machine guns!This is used to punish traitors who dare to retreat without authorization.This kind of punishment is much more civilized than Fengjun's barbaric machete, and it doesn't need to go to the ocean!Every ruble can be invested in the full-scale industrialization construction, which greatly liberates productivity!

At this time, Zhang Zuoxiang and Xi Qia were standing side by side behind the Fengjun's position with pale faces. Of course, they already knew what happened to the artillery.The damage report has been sent to them.More than half of the two artillery regiments were lost, and now there are less than thirty usable cannons left!The cannon turns out to be damaged by another cannon too!In China's civil war, this kind of thing is obviously very rare. It is so rare that except for the current National Revolutionary Army, the artillery of other armies does not know to move their positions in time!

Xiqia turned his head and looked at Zhang Zuoxiang, who came to supervise the battle. Seeing this respected and respected senior member of the Zhang family nodded slightly, he turned his head with a cold face, straightened his military uniform, and waved his hand lightly , ordered: "The attack begins!"

The staff officers around him conveyed the order in short order.After a while, three red flares rose high, which was a signal for the Feng army to launch an attack.

On the starting position of the attack, the junior officers squatting in front of the skirmish line saw the signal, jumped up one after another, drew out the command saber in their hands, and pointed to the hillside ahead: "Brothers, go forward!"

Almost at the same time, thousands of flashing bayonets, like a moving steel jungle, slowly pressed down on the Soviet Red Army position on the high ground of Bald Tail Mountain.In front of this piece of steel jungle were junior officers who were leading the charge, wearing woolen military uniforms and wielding command knives.

The dozens of heavy machine guns erected on both sides of the attacking force also began to roar, and dozens of flames spewed towards the Soviet Red Army position not far away.

On the high ground of Bald Tail Mountain.

The sound of gunshots and shouts of killing has gathered together.The attack line of the Feng army rolling forward is like a huge wave.He slapped fiercely at the Soviet Red Army's defense line.

The brigade-level and regiment-level wild cannons of the Soviet Red Army placed behind the bald tail mountain also started firing at this time, pouring rows of shells into the formation of the Feng army's offensive troops.

Zhang Zuoxiang and Xiqia, who were watching the battle standing behind Fengjun's position, felt the ground tremble again, and then came the roar of artillery!At the same time, one after another the roaring Soviet field artillery shells also exploded in the infantry ranks of the Feng army.Feng Jun's attack line like a huge wave was immediately submerged in a forest of smoke pillars.Shrapnel like the sickle of death flew around, harvesting the lives of Fengjun soldiers row by row.

"This is a fight against steel with flesh and blood!" Zhang Zuoxiang tremblingly highlighted a few words that seemed to be filled with blood in his heart, that was his [-]th Division!Now we are fighting recklessly with flesh and blood and Soviet artillery!

The gunshots like landslides and tsunami had just faded away, and the dense gunshots like fried beans rang out again.Rifles and machine guns on the Soviet positions also opened fire.Rifle bullets poured down row upon row, making large and small gaps in the front of the Fengjun. What was even more frightening was that the stream of fire from the heavy machine guns cut down the Fengjun officers and soldiers charging with their heads covered one by one like cutting wheat. ...

Feng Jun's first round of attack on Bald Tail Mountain failed without any suspense.This is a formal war between a backward agricultural country and a powerful industrial country!The gap lies not only in weapons and equipment, but also in the training and knowledge levels of officers and soldiers.Although the war in the 20s could not be called a high-tech war, it still required considerable scientific knowledge to fight well.Just like today's Fengjun, although they have an absolute advantage in numbers, although they also have artillery, although they are as brave as their opponents.However, most of their soldiers are illiterate, and their officers are also of extremely poor quality. They can't give full play to their strength and firepower advantages at all. Instead, they are suppressed and beaten by enemies who seem weaker than them.

"Young commander..." Zhang Zuoxiang held a casualty statistics report tightly in his trembling hands.His face was pale, his eyes were red, it was obvious that he had just cried bitterly.

The headquarters was crowded with generals from various divisions of the Feng army, and they were all sighing now, with sad faces all over their faces.They also knew what happened to the [-]th Division right away.A total of [-] men were killed by Russian gunfire and machine guns in less than an hour.This battle has been fought so far, even a fool can see that Feng Jun really can't beat him.But... the young general Zhang still refuses to order the withdrawal of troops. It seems that a night battle is going to be arranged, and I don't know whose turn it is to be unlucky this time?

Zhang Xueliang's face was dark, his head was lowered, and he didn't say a word.Now he is also stiffening, the artillery has lost half of it, and the infantry casualties plus a total of [-], this is only the loss of one attack.As for the losses of those Russian invaders... I don't know if there are [-]?It turned out that the Feng army that their old Zhang family worked hard for more than ten years was just a paper tiger.

He knew he couldn't fight, but he couldn't announce his retreat.Now that he is a paper tiger, he still wears a tiger skin, if he just goes back in disgrace.But there is not even a piece of tiger skin left... only paper is left.This battle cannot be lost in such a way, no matter what, we must capture Zhalai Nuoer, end the siege of Manchuria, and then seek peace.Even if it is to return the Middle East Road to the Russian invaders, and then make an apology.In short, it is necessary to create a situation where you can accept as soon as you see it, so that the Feng family may have a few years of peaceful life to regroup.

"Ding Fang." After hesitating for a moment, Zhang Xueliang seemed to have made up his mind, gritted his teeth and called out the name of Wang Yizhe, the head of the Guards Brigade.He raised his head and looked at Wang Yizhe who was standing beside him with eyes that seemed to be flaming: "Wait for the heavy artillery regiment to come up later, you take the guard brigade up and fight with them at night! Even if this bald tail mountain is made of iron, you can Grind him inch by inch!"

……

At midnight on April [-], [-] AD.

The position of the Fengjun Heavy Artillery Regiment, five kilometers away from Bald Tail Mountain, was illuminated like daylight by the blazing bonfire. Thirty-six 36mm heavy guns shook slowly, raising their muzzles high.The gunners were all in place, and the ammunition hand picked up the heavy shells and stuffed them into the barrel.The commander on the artillery position also held his breath, anxiously waiting for the order to fire.

Surrounded by a group of senior generals of the Feng army, Zhang Xueliang strode into a concealed department built by civil engineering, which is about three kilometers away from the highland of Bald Tail Mountain.There is no shelter in the middle, and the entire battlefield can be seen without a telescope.

There are already many officers waiting in the bunker, full of people.Seeing Young Marshal Zhang come in, they all stood at attention and saluted.Zhang Zuoxiang, Xiqia, the Japanese military adviser, and several staff officers were all waiting for the order to launch the offensive.

"Young Marshal, the heavy artillery is ready. It is the measurement made by our Japanese artillery observers. There will be absolutely no problem. Since the Russians have long-range heavy artillery, the artillery preparation this time can only last for 5 minutes, and it is planned to fire 150 rounds [-]mm shells."

It was Major General Matsui Nanao, Japan's chief military adviser, who said this.This time he led a Japanese military advisory group to act with Zhang Xueliang's headquarters.

Zhang Xueliang glanced at the thin Matsui.I feel very bad in my heart, this disaster was completely instigated by these little devils, but now I still have to thank others for their "help" with a smile on my face.

"Then thank you Mr. Matsui for your help." Zhang Xueliang squeezed out a smile, and nodded slightly at Matsui.Then he waved his hand and said: "Let's get started, this time we must let the Russian Kou know how good we are!"

Zhang Xueliang's order was quickly sent to the position of the Fengjun Heavy Artillery Regiment via radio waves, and the commander of the artillery regiment waved down the command flag heavily. The gun group composed of 36 150mm heavy guns shook violently at the same time. First, the flames spewed out, followed by the thunderous sound of the guns, and the smoke filled the air.In a blink of an eye, everywhere in the Soviet army's position on Bald Tail Mountain shook the ground, bursting into flames that soared into the sky.

奉军拥有的重炮是采购自日本的明治38年式150mm口径野战榴弹炮。这种火炮的性能是非常过时的，最大射程还不足6000米。不过它毕竟是一门150mm口径的重炮！发射出来的仍然是重达36公斤的炮弹。

The fragments from the 150mm caliber shell exploded like a hurricane and swept through the entire position of the Soviet army.The earthworks that were hit were immediately lifted into the sky, and the Soviet officers hiding inside were also twisted into a pulp by violent metal fragments.In the winding trenches, many Soviet Red Army soldiers who should have high morale are now all ashen, curled up, trembling, sitting at a loss, lying on their sides or crawling tightly in the trenches bottom. 5 minutes of shelling, to the people who were bombed, was almost as long as five years.So that everyone in the trenches can't help wondering whether time has frozen?Is this moment eternal hell and the end of the world?

After a long time, the landslide-like roar stopped abruptly without warning.Immediately afterwards, there were faint shouts, and then bursts of machine gun roars.Feng Jun's attack this time was obviously better organized than in the daytime. Zhang Xueliang's guard brigade launched the first and only round of a desperate charge almost on the spot where the artillery fell.The young brigade commander, General Wang Yizhe, rushed to the forefront of the team with a submachine gun in hand. Behind him were more than 3000 people who dared to die. Everyone, like Wang Yizhe, was carrying a Bongzou that imitated a Thomson submachine gun. submachine gun.

The Chinese army in this era seems to prefer submachine guns. Although they are far behind advanced countries in terms of heavy weapons, they have some advantages in the use and equipment of submachine guns.Of course, this does not mean that a few submachine guns can confront the world's advanced countries.In fact, due to insufficient ammunition, these submachine guns gradually disappeared after the beginning of the historical war of resistance.

However, in tonight's charge, this automatic firearm can still exert great power.Under the cover of night, the machine guns and rifles of the Russian invaders were completely out of focus during the day.And the Feng army came almost at the point where the shells fell. When the artillerymen of the Russian invaders reacted, the infantry of both sides had already been twisted together.The Russian artillery can only use firepower to block the front of its own position and prevent the follow-up troops of the Feng army.As for the battle to the death on the battlefield, there was nothing they could do.

The entire front was filled with the sound of submachine guns roaring, and strings of bullets were hooked into airtight fire nets. The Soviet invaders who were trapped inside had almost nowhere to hide and could only retreat steadily... Fortunately, Those political commissars who were usually ruthless are gone now, maybe they were blown up by the heavy artillery just now?When they found that there was no political commissar to supervise the battle behind them, the fighting will of the Russian invaders quickly collapsed. They dropped their rifles and fled to the rear in the dark... The victory of this battle was finally won by Fengjun !

Chapter 0318 want to close it?

Beijing, Zhongnanhai Jurentang.

Just a day or two down.Zhang Zuolin seems to be ten years older all of a sudden. He is only 52 years old this year, and he looks like an old man.

In the past, the largest reactionary warlord in China had a straight body, a resonant voice, and he was bold when talking and laughing.But as the Soviet Union declared war, the ambassador to China Alexei Sergeyevich Zirnykh sneered and threw the declaration of war on his desk, and left Zhongnanhai without looking back. Aging at a speed visible to the naked eye day by day.

The burden of the entire war was suddenly placed on his shoulders!

Everyone knows that although China is responsible for the conflict on the Middle East Road this time, it is true that the Feng faction first provoked this incident.Moreover, the Northeast has always been the domain of the Feng Clan, and now the Feng Clan is in charge of the Central Committee. No matter from which point of view, defending the Northeast against the Russian invaders is Zhang Zuolin's duty-bound mission, and he can't even catch a fool.

Now that the Soviet Union has declared war, it is impossible not to fight.But if something goes wrong in the war, Zhang Zuolin's Feng family foundation, which Zhang Zuolin has painstakingly managed for many years, will be wiped out!Although the whole country, except the Communist Party, supports him in resisting Russia, but if he is really defeated by the Russian invaders, everyone will come to accuse him of losing power and humiliating the country, right?This has basically been the practice since the late Qing Dynasty.

As soon as the news of the war in Manchuria arrived, Zhang Zuolin immediately set up a combat command room in Ju Ren Tang, paying close attention to every bit of news on the northeast front.At the same time, he also secretly ordered Huang Yu, the Chinese minister to Germany, to secretly ask the German government to intervene, so that when the war is really unfavorable, he can "traitor the country and seek glory" in time to end the war and stop the bleeding of the Feng family.

The top priority was still on the Northeast Front. A series of telegrams were sent from the command room inside Ju Ren Tang to Zhang Xueliang, telling him to stabilize the war and be cautious, even if he suffered a small loss, he had to keep his position. Undefeated situation!What kind of reinforcements did he want, Zhang Zuolin worked hard, even if he sold his property, he had to get it for him!In case of a big defeat, then their father and son will have to blow the lamp and pull the wax to complete the game!

As soon as the news came that Zhang Xueliang was going to lead an army of [-] troops to rescue Manzhouli, General Zhang's people never left Jurentang's combat command room again.Standing by the station all the time, waiting for good or...bad news from the front.

This waited for several days and nights without sleep, and when I was dizzy, I heard Yang Yuting's voice: "Master... the Japanese consultant Mr. Sakanishi sent news from Tokyo, asking us... do we need to buy arms? They can Sell ​​us some... In addition, you can also send troops to help secretly... But we need to give them some special rights. You see..."

Zhang Zuolin looked up and saw that Yang Yuting also had dark circles under his eyes. He seemed to have lost a lot of weight. The hand holding the letter raft seemed to be trembling slightly.

General Zhang's heart warmed. This Yang Linge was indeed his confidant. These days, he had suffered a lot because of the incident on the Middle East Road. He planned with all his heart, and even offended that little Liuzi (Zhang Xueliang) who didn't know what to do.Later, I still have to have a good talk with Xiaoliuzi, don't always discriminate between loyalty and villainy.

After taking the letter raft and looking at it, it turned out that it was the interests that the Japanese wanted, including:

(1) Japanese people enjoy commercial lease rights in the three northeastern provinces and eastern Inner Mongolia, that is, they have the same right to live and operate industry and commerce as local Chinese;

(2) Transfer the administrative power of the "Jiandao area" (4 counties of Yanji, Hunchun, Helong, and Wangqing) to Japan;

(3) Extend the Jidun Railway to connect it with the North Korean Railway east of the Tumen River (that is, complete the Jihui Road);

(4) Allow Japan to open consulates in the counties of Taochang Road.

After glancing at the Japanese request, Zhang Zuolin's heart felt blocked for a while.These little Japanese blindly instigate beforehand, and wait until the matter becomes serious before threatening them with aid... This is the case every time Fengjun encounters something, why don't you let yourself be a man?If this condition is agreed to, will the national righteousness won by the Middle East Road incident not be completely lost?At that time, the Kuomintang and the Communist Party may even oppose the Youth Party, which has always stood with me, right?Doesn't his Feng line fall apart?I am afraid that the Japanese also want to take advantage of this opportunity to occupy the Northeast!

"Marshal...don't be too busy to say no, the fight is still going on in Manchuria! In case we are going to lose...we can agree first, and after this hurdle has passed, we can find a way to deny it!" Seeing Zhang Zuolin thinking He was about to tear up the letter raft, but Yang Yuting hurriedly exited to stop him.It's not once or twice that they play rogues with the Japanese. It seems that the Japanese can't do anything about them.Besides, looking at the current situation in China, who else can Japan turn to if it does not cooperate with the Feng Faction?Kuomintang?Or the Communist Party?

Zhang Zuolin raised his hand and sighed: "Forget it, let's keep this one for now. If it doesn't work, there is another way. The key is the war in Manchuria. I don't know how the little six are fighting? But don't lose! As long as If we can win...we'll accept it as soon as we see it. At worst, there will be a Sino-Soviet co-management on the Middle East Road...Linge, do you think this can be explained away?"

Yang Yuting smiled deeply: "Why did you confess? What do the common people know? Isn't the Kuomintang and the Communist Party just bluffing? We compromised with the Soviet Union and the Communist Party would have no objection. It's just a fight with us for our righteousness."
