Republic of China game

"...The weapons of these Chinese troops are very poor, and the training level is not high. They are not the same as those we encountered two days later. However, these enemies who use simple weapons and have not received much training are still a big deal. My company took a lot of casualties, a lot... many people died in those two days. I was lucky to survive, and I have survived many, many subsequent disasters..."

"...they have very little artillery and are afraid of our artillery overpowering, so they don't fire many shells. Their machine guns are also a limited threat to us. We have a lot of snipers...and mortars, which are used to Suppressing machine guns. Finally their rifles are terrible, only threatening at 100 meters, but they have a very scary weapon... a grenade! A small grenade with a wooden handle! There are a lot of them, very Much, was thrown out like raindrops. At that moment I thought I was going to die! I thought to myself, God! I am going to die here, but why am I going to die here? Is it because Stalin wants me to die here? But luckily in the end, I survived, what a miracle..."

This kind of Chinese grenade, which is based on the German wooden handle grenade and has been reduced in weight, is one of the most effective weapons used by China in the War of Resistance in history.This weapon is very simple to make and use, and it is powerful enough at close range!Any illiterate ordinary Chinese soldier, after a few minutes of training, can theoretically use this weapon... Of course, in actual use, it will happen that he forgets to pull the string or throws it in the wrong direction and throws an unlucky weapon in the wrong direction. The situation where the teacher (Guan Linzheng) was blown up.However, fighting grenades was indeed one of the most effective means used by the Chinese army to defend the country in that era.This is also the case in this space-time Middle East War.

What greeted the assault troops of the Soviet Red Army was a rain of grenades, and it was this simple and effective weapon that repelled them again and again.With the quality of the Fengjun who was stuck in the trenches, he had to compete with the Soviet Red Army in marksmanship, and there was no chance of winning in a bayonet fight.Marksmanship is fed by bullets... Even the Fengjun who owns the Fengtian Armory does not have enough bullets to teach ordinary soldiers to practice marksmanship, and bayonet fighting has always been Russia's strong point, just look at their body shape.Fortunately, the Chinese army still has grenades to fight with. This method of throwing bombs at each other at a distance of tens of meters is actually fighting for life...

Blueher's face was so livid that it was almost black!He has seen this kind of small grenade in the Kuomintang army and the Chinese Red Army...and threw it himself.I didn't realize it had such power at the time!It turns out that thousands of grenades from the Chinese army were thrown together!Let the charging enemies have nowhere to hide, you can only use grenades to fight them recklessly!This tactic is basically exchanging Chinese lives for Russian lives.

"Let the infantry retreat and continue to bombard!" Blyuchel put down the binoculars in his hand, almost gritting his teeth as he gave an order.The current time is on the side of the Chinese, and their reinforcements will arrive in three days at most...

Seeing the Russian invaders receding like the tide, the officers and soldiers of the Feng army who were stuck in the trenches did not have a trace of joy.Because they know very well that after the enemy withdraws, it will inevitably be bombarded overwhelmingly.Positional warfare seems to be such a mode, fighting with cannons, machine guns, bayonets, and grenades.The Russians have an overwhelming advantage in artillery, so the final winner of this offensive and defensive battle must be the Russian invaders, unless the legendary reinforcements can arrive in time.But looking at the overwhelming artillery fire from the Russian invaders, most of these powerful reinforcements are also...

Standing at the back of the position and supervising the battle, Han Guangdi glanced at the Bald Tail Mountain in the distance, which was also being attacked by the Russian invaders, and he could vaguely see the column of smoke rising into the sky.I don't know if Zhang Linyu can withstand it?If he can't stop there, the Russian invaders can use this high ground to form a blocking line to block the reinforcements coming from the east.

"Master, the shelling of the Russian invaders is about to begin." The staff officer on the side had already noticed the changes on the front line, and hurriedly reminded the commander who was distracted.

"Understood... In just six hours, these Russian devils fired four times! Damn, their shells really don't cost money!" Han Guangdi cursed helplessly, and walked to the tunnel next to him .The Russian bombardment is not as casual as a domestic warlord melee.But it was so dense that it was so dense that after four bombardments, the entire town of Zhalainuoer was in ruins except for the four reinforced concrete buildings that were still standing!

……

In this time and space, the first bullet fired by the KMT at the Communist Party was originally fired by an aviation machine gun.The time was four o'clock in the afternoon on April [-], [-] AD.

A biplane reconnaissance plane dispatched by the Soviet Red Army Air Force staggered over the marching "Luo Yaoguo Corps".When the pilot was planning to reconnaissance the Chinese white army who didn't know what to do, he suddenly saw four biplanes with strange looks, as if the wings were installed backwards, and rushed towards him.Then there was a string of flashing ballistics, and then the heart was hit hard, and a burst of pain came...

With a bang, the biplane flew headfirst and landed not far from Luo Yaoguo's car.This was the first actual combat of the Kuomintang aviation force, and it was Colonel Li Wenhua, the squadron leader of the First Squadron of the First Squadron of the Army Aviation Group, who made the contribution.The artillery officer, who is particularly interested in aviation, finally got his wish last year and became a squadron leader in the newly formed aviation brigade.This time the aviation brigade has also moved to an airstrip on the western outskirts of Hailar, responsible for providing air cover for the westward troops.

The khaki marching team was not affected by the air battle and continued to roll westward. Only a small group of soldiers with rifles was assigned to inspect the crashed Russian plane.Luo Yaoguo just glanced from a distance, without any trace of joy or anger on his face, even though this was the first time his love general made meritorious deeds in the air.

"General Luo, this is a good start. Your pilots have already learned to fight in the air." Rommel boasted.He smiled and said: "Now the Soviets won't know our exact location for the time being. I guess they will send a reconnaissance plane escorted by fighter jets early tomorrow morning."

Luo Yaoguo smiled faintly: "Even if there are fighter jets, it's useless. Their Fokker Dr.3 is outdated, and it's no match for our CR.1. And I'm not worried that the Soviets will discover our location. I'm worried about Zarai Noel... Let the troops march overnight so that they can arrive earlier."

……

One side is marching overnight, and the other side is preparing to attack overnight.In one afternoon, the Russian invaders launched eight assaults on the small town of Zhalainuoer and seven assaults on Bald Tail Mountain, but so far they still haven't made a breakthrough.The resistance of the Chinese army was extremely tenacious, enduring the bombardment like purgatory, and drove the opponent out of its position with rifles, machine guns and grenades time and time again.On several occasions, the Russian invaders broke into the position, and the two sides fought head-to-head, but the final result still made Blyuchel extremely frustrated...

Bliuchel knew very well in his heart that the Chinese and Soviet armies were racing against time. Was it the Soviet army that captured Zhalainor first?Or will the reinforcements from the Chinese army arrive first?If it is preempted by the opponent, the consequences will be disastrous for the militaries of both countries.If the Chinese army arrives first, then the only option I have is to retreat... and give up the victory again, or the whole army may be wiped out.And if he grabs Zhalai Nuoer before the opponent arrives, then the opponent will come to attack his strong city!Otherwise, Zhang Xueliang, who was trapped in Manchuria, would be completely annihilated, and his mission would be considered complete.

"Comrade Commander..." Chuikov's hesitant voice suddenly sounded: "One of our reconnaissance planes did not return this afternoon, and it was probably shot down by the enemy. road's..."

Blyukher turned his head abruptly, and a livid and somewhat blackened face appeared in front of Chuikov: "What did you say? Did you say that the reinforcements from the Chinese White Army might have entered the warning range of our reconnaissance plane? Then they leave The journey here is less than two days... No, at most one and a half days! These guys are going faster than we thought! The order was sent to dispatch the [-]st Infantry Brigade to establish a line of defense five kilometers east of Zhabeinuoer. "

Cuikov hurriedly responded, and went to call the First Infantry Brigade.Looking at the back of him leaving, Blucher took a deep breath, now there may only be one and a half days left!If I can't win Zhalai Nuoer... I will lose this battle!How should I explain this to Comrade Stalin?Are these Chinese white troops too tenacious now?To actually persist in that level of shelling until now, compared to the real Bolsheviks...it seems not far behind!

At this time, Fengjun Commander Han Guangdi also had a livid face, clutching a casualty report that had just been counted tightly in his hand.In just one afternoon, more than 48% of his division had suffered casualties, among which Zhang Linyu's [-]th Brigade, which was firmly guarding Bald Tail Mountain, suffered [-]% casualties... How can we survive the fight like this for a day and a half!

boom!boom!boom……

A series of huge fireballs soared over the town of Zhalainuoer. Just after dinner, the Soviet Red Army's offensive resumed.This attack also began with an earth-shattering bombardment.The shelling lasted about an hour.The Soviet Red Army invested a total of more than 40 artillery companies, including 152mm artillery companies and 122mm artillery companies.There are more than 40 1910-style 152mm howitzers, hundreds of 1910-style 122mm howitzers and more than 100 76.2mm field guns and mountain guns.They poured about 24 shells into the positions of Zhalai Nuoer Town and Bald Tail Mountain under the control of the [-]th Fengjun Division in one hour!For a time, the entire Fengjun position was completely enveloped by violent shock waves and hot shrapnel flying around.The huge roar in one piece seemed to be the roar of Thor, shaking the entire earth and the vast night sky.The ground shook violently, as if the entire world had been distorted.

All the people who are still alive on the position are now either huddled in the winding trenches, or hiding in solid shelters.Only in this way is it possible to survive such violent artillery fire and then enter a new battle.Speaking of which, the Russian invaders have poured more than 12 shells on Zhalainuoer and Bald Tail Mountain!Almost every Fengjun officer and soldier can share ten rounds!But their will to fight and their positions are still there, it's really a miracle!Even their opponents, the Soviet Red Army, had a little admiration for these brave enemies in their hearts.

The cannons stopped.The officers and soldiers of the Feng army, who were a little dizzy by the huge roar, vaguely heard the sound of "Ula" one after another in the night.This is the cry of the Russian invaders when they charged!It is also the battle order of the officers and soldiers of the army.As usual, the infantry charged after the shelling, and the more violent the shelling, the larger the scale of the enemy's charge!

With the help of the dim light cast by a full moon, the officers and soldiers of the Feng army on the battlefield could vaguely see the dark, gleaming steel helmets.Just like the shelling just now, the charge of this wave of Russian invaders also cost a lot of money.About [-] Russian invaders were sent to the front line at one time by Blyuchel, who had exhausted his patience, and split into two groups to rush towards Zhalai Nuoer Town and Bald Tail Mountain at the same time.

boom……

The cannon in the middle of the town opened fire.As soon as the sound of cannon firing sounded, a ball of flames rose in front of Fengjun's position.Immediately afterwards, the sound of bombardment came from behind the position one after another.The shells that broke through the air crashed into the dense crowd of Russian invaders in an instant, and after bursts of huge roars, gaps were blown out of the dense Russian army's skirmishing line.However, their progress did not slow down at all. Instead, they launched a rapid charge under the supervision of junior officers.Under the moonlight, bright bayonets formed a forest of steel, and they were rushing towards the dilapidated Fengjun trenches that had been bombarded by cannonballs at an extremely fast speed!

"Fire..."

After a few shouts, at the moment when the shouts sounded, long-suppressed gunshots erupted in the trench.After a whole afternoon of hard fighting, the shooting discipline of this Feng army has improved significantly.Without the command of a subordinate officer, soldiers in the trenches would not waste ammunition on an enemy that is out of reach.Bursts of fire poured down like raindrops, and the approaching Kuroshio suddenly slowed down, and even stagnated in some areas.However, this only lasted for a short time.The mortar shells that came one after another accurately fell around the trenches of the Feng army, and immediately shrouded the already riddled trenches in clusters of flames.For a while, the firepower of the defenders, especially the machine guns supporting the entire position, was completely suppressed.The turbulent black tide rushed over again...

Gunshots and explosions came one after another.The last sharp weapon of the Feng army, the grenade, finally came in handy. Thousands of small bombs rolled and flew towards the black Russian bandits, dragging a faint blue smoke.After a few breaths, dense explosions rang out almost at the same time, and scattered shrapnel and clusters of flames swept across the front lines of the Russian invaders. Suddenly, the dark crowd thinned out a lot, and the sound of wailing rang out in the dark night.But this time the Russian invaders were not repelled by the rain of grenades, and they didn't even stop charging.They fought hard to carry a rain of grenades, and also dragged their opponents into their best hand-to-hand combat.

……

"Report! The Russian invaders have captured the first line of defense in Zhalai Nuoer Town and Bald Tail Mountain."

An almost life-threatening voice sounded in Zhang Zuolin's ear!At this time, he was sitting in the living room of Jurentang negotiating with Japanese consultant Rihachiro Sakanishi.The content of the negotiation is what kind of price will be required for Japan to come forward to clean up the mess in case of a disastrous defeat by Fengjun!It can also be said to be...traitorous!Although Zhang Zuolin did not intend to really fulfill it.

Glancing at Zhang Zuolin with a pale face, Rihachiro Sakanishi smiled gently: "Marshal Zhang, those Russians took the first line of defense in just half a day... As far as I know, there are only two roads outside Zhalai Nuoer Town. The trench? If not expected, the second trench will also fall tonight. Then there will be street fighting... I don’t know if the town of Zhalai Nuoer has been bombarded by the Russians for most of the day with [-] heavy artillery pieces. Are there any buildings left? exist?"

"...Now your Fengjun has been proven to be no match for the Russians. There are only two ways to prevent the Northeast from falling to Russia; one is to allow the Kuomintang to send the main force to the north, and hand over all the military and political power in the Northeast to them. I firmly believe that ten Kuomintang divisions will be able to keep the Northeast intact. It’s just that how much territory will you have left in Fengshi? Zhili, Chahar, and Beijing, that’s probably all there is, right? The second is to accept the Great Japanese Empire Of course, there is a price to be paid for the help, but compared to losing the entire Northeast and even the whole of China, such a small price...is really insignificant. As long as you can agree to the four conditions, our Great Japanese Empire Immediately send troops to intervene in the war! If Russia does not give up, the empire is determined to fight another Russo-Japanese War!"

But Zhang Zuolin just lowered his head, remained silent, and didn't know what was going on in his heart?

Yang Yuting, who stood by Zhang Zuolin's side, saw that the old commander was still unwilling to respond, so he had no choice but to persuade him: "Commander, why don't we do this? Let's make it clear on the agreement that only Luo Yaoguo's soldiers were defeated by the Russians. It will take effect. At that time, we will have no choice but to invite Japan to intervene... Even the Kuomintang has nothing to say?"

Chapter 0322 Manzhouli Great Victory ([-]) Armored Assault

April [-], [-] AD.Moscow, Pravda has great news!And it's double happiness.One is that Trotsky, the most ferocious enemy of the proletariat in the world, has finally been expelled from the Bolshevik Party!This is a great victory for the working class of the world and an important turning point for the victory of the world revolution!The second piece of good news confirms this point. Under the personal deployment and wise instruction of Comrade Stalin, the greatest Marxist in the world, the center of the world revolution, the great Soviet Red Army has completely wiped out the Chinese entrenched in Zhalainor. White Army!A severe blow to these minions of Japanese imperialism!

The headline on the front page of Pravda carried a commentary from editor-in-chief Nikolai Bukharin, who wrote: "...the great Soviet Fatherland has performed a miracle this morning! Under the wise leadership of Comrade Joseph Vissarionovich Stalin, two ferocious enemies armed to the teeth were simultaneously defeated in one day! One was the anti-Soviet organization lurking inside us and an organization hostile to the dictatorship of the proletariat The Trotsky faction. The other is the Chinese White Army armed to the teeth with the ammunition provided by the Japanese imperialists. These two great victories have shown that Comrade Stalin is the well-deserved leader of our Soviet motherland... Under his leadership, in the In the not-too-distant future we shall be able to see the day when communism will first be realized in the USSR! Long live Stalin! Long live the Bolshevik Party! Long live the Soviet Fatherland!"

This commentary, written by Comrade Bukharin himself, spread throughout the world as soon as the red radio waves were sent from Moscow.Leaders of working-class political parties all over the world also immediately sent warm congratulatory telegrams to the Kremlin.

For a moment, the proletarians of the whole world were immersed in the joy of victory... except for the thousands of Russian invaders in the small town of Zhalainuoer and General Blyuchel standing on the high ground outside the town surrounded by a group of staff officers.After the bloody battle all night yesterday, they had indeed captured the Bald Tail Mountain highland outside the small town of Zhalai Nuoer, and captured 80% of the town's land.But there are still four buildings that have almost become ruins and are still spitting out flames!The remnants of the Chinese White Army are now relying on these four buildings to carry out their last crazy resistance.

In this era, how to capture a reinforced concrete ruin defended by desperate defenders is a difficult problem for all military commanders.This "solid fortress", almost buried in rubble and ruins, seems to be less afraid of shelling.The heavy artillery shells of the Soviet Red Army hit these dilapidated buildings one after another, but they still stood tall and refused to collapse in the end.And the Chinese White Army inside seemed to have made up their minds to defend to the end, neither willing to surrender nor come out to have a fair duel with the heroic Soviet Red Army.Just hiding under the rubble, shooting wildly with machine guns and rifles non-stop at any Soviet Red Army fighter who tried to get close to them!

Blueher is now very clear that these Chinese White Army are now the last madness... It is only a matter of time before they are wiped out!And he just didn't have much time.A number of reminders from the Kremlin have almost filled his military uniform pockets.Stalin has already boasted, declaring that Zhalainor has been captured, and also linked this victory with the victory of the anti-Trotsky struggle!Take Zhalainor's capture as an ironclad proof that the Red Army under his leadership is stronger than the Red Army under Trotsky's leadership!

Now Zhalainur is no longer an insignificant town, but... the face of the great leader Stalin, the correct symbol of Stalin's glorious line.If Blyuchel can't capture it completely as soon as possible, and defeat the incoming Kuomintang reinforcements here, then Stalin will just lose face, and Blyukher will probably lose his life!

"Comrade Commander... The Revolutionary Military Council has sent another telegram to urge you to seize every inch of Zhalai Nuoer's land at any cost within today!"

Chuikov's urging voice sounded in Blyuchel's ears again. This was already the tenth urging telegram!Maybe now... the political commissar of the group army is already arranging arrests, right?

Think of the Cheka Central Agency of the terrible Lubyanka Building 2!Blucher's body trembled unconsciously.The communists of this era are not without fear.It seems that in the glorious history of the communist movement, there are tens of thousands of martyrs who persevered under the torture of the enemy, but...it seems that I have never heard of anyone who was able to persist in not confessing under the torture of the Cheka agency?Blueher, who also served as a political commissar, naturally knows how powerful it is.

"Call back the Revolutionary Military Council and Comrade Stalin, the Red Banner Special Far East Army promises to complete the tasks assigned by the party. Zhalai Nuoer will be completely captured by us within today! There will never be another Chinese White Army alive here!"

Now Zhalainor is everything!It is even more important than the Luo Yaoguo Corps that is approaching from the east.Originally, according to Blueher's plan, the Fengjun who were firmly guarding these four buildings should be temporarily released now, and a regiment should be assigned to guard them.Then concentrate the main force to face the Luo Yaoguo Corps advancing westward. As long as they are defeated, Zhalai Nuoer and Manzhouli will not be a concern at all.But if you persist like this now... it will be suicide!Blueher is still young, and still has a bright future and a good life, so he can't just die young like this.As for the Luo Yaoguo Corps, Blueher arranged for an infantry division to go east to build a line of defense between Hulun Lake and the Hailar River to prevent them from going west.In addition, a cavalry division was sent to monitor Zhang Xueliang's corps in the direction of Manzhouli to prevent them from making trouble for him.And he himself continued to command two infantry divisions to storm the Fengjun stronghold in the small town of Zhalainuoer in turn... Just like the order of the Revolutionary Military Council, it must be completely captured within today at all costs!

……

"The commander-in-chief ordered us to break out to the south and retreat eastward around Hulun Lake."

Xiqia appeared in Zhang Xueliang's bedroom at some point, holding a recently translated secret message in his hand.

Now there is panic in the Fengjun headquarters in Manzhouli City.They already knew the information about the fall of Zhalainuoer.The whole world knows it, and they are no exception, and they also contacted the 24th Division guarding there through the radio... but there was no reply.

Zhang Xueliang's face was pale now, and he sat on the chair a little sluggishly, with his head down, without saying a word.

Xiqia looked at his young master's dejected look, and frowned slightly: "Young commander, Luo Fuwen's [-] soldiers are still marching westward, and they will soon exchange fire with the Russian invaders... It's our last chance. I guess they won't be able to tell the winner in two or three days, and by then we'll have run far."
