Rebirth from the Ashes: Rebuilding the Red Soviet Area

Source Cave

Zhao Wu stood on the top of the mountain, overlooking the entire source cave, and asked silently: "Old squad leader, do you think we can crush the enemy's encirclement this time?"

The old squad leader pondered for a moment and said firmly: "Yes, we can. As long as we adhere to the leadership of the Party, we will be able to overcome all difficulties."

Zhao Wu looked at the old squad leader, his bitter brows relaxed and he smiled: "As expected of an old party member, your political awareness is high."

Zhao Wu swept away the haze in his heart and laughed heartily

Song Tao ran over at this time: "The national army has entered the outer perimeter of the source cave"

"Okay, blow the horn and notify everyone to get into position."

Zhao Wu decisively gave the order

Temporary headquarters of the enemy's 497th Regiment at the foot of the mountain

"Captain, our reconnaissance team has confirmed that the enemy is hiding in this source cave."

"Also, Captain Song and his men have already slaughtered the Red Army elements in Shuangyang Town and Gutian Town according to instructions. They will attack from the north in half an hour."

"Soon they will be able to join us in attacking this group of Red Bandits from both north and south."

Mei Ping patted Staff Officer Wang and said, "Well done!"

Then Mei Ping said to everyone in the temporary command center: "Dear colleagues, have you all heard what Chief of Staff Wang said?"

"Brothers, we must wipe out this group of Red Bandits this time. The Chairman and the Division Commander have high hopes for us."

"Our regiment uses the most advanced German equipment and is fully armed."

"A big reward will always bring courage. Whoever first captures the top of Pingkeng Mountain will be promoted one rank and rewarded with 1000 yuan."

"Fellow Huangpu students, who is willing to be the pioneer?"

"Commander, I am willing to do this." Huang Mingde stood up first

"Commander, leave it to Zhang. He will definitely be able to decide the outcome in one battle."

"Commander..."

Mei Ping nodded with satisfaction: "I order"

All officers stood up at the same time

"The artillery company will open fire first and destroy all the bunker obstacles ahead."

"After the artillery fire ended, Huang Mingde led a company of troops as the vanguard and quickly occupied Pingbei Mountain."

"Once Captain Huang opens the gap, the remaining members of the first battalion will immediately rush forward and establish a position."

"Then the artillery company advanced forward, step by step, destroying the enemy positions, squeezing the Red Bandits' living space, and finally making a final push to wipe out this group of Red Bandits."

"Yes"

Feng Bo looked at his watch and said: "Everyone start preparing. The meeting will be held in half an hour. Follow the plan."

half an hour later

All the positions outside Beishan were destroyed.

The stonemason looked at Zhao Wu and said, "Old Zhao, you had the foresight to withdraw the soldiers outside. Otherwise, we would have suffered heavy losses."

Zhao Wu did not answer, but said seriously: "Messenger, order everyone not to shoot until the enemy enters the encirclement."

"Once the enemy enters the ambush circle, everyone, throw half of the allocated grenades to me and catch the enemy off guard."

"At the same time, we conceal two-thirds of our firepower points to trick the enemy into thinking we are short of weapons."

"After the battle, soldiers at exposed firing points should quickly disperse and hide to prevent enemy artillery fire. Light and heavy machine gun positions should be ready to replace personnel at any time."

"Stonemason, your mortar section in the machine gun platoon is not allowed to fire without my order. Only when the enemy is charging in full force can you open fire."

After Zhao Wu gave the order, he said, "Judging from the enemy's artillery's firing rate and precise impact points, this enemy is definitely the elite of the elite."

"Each unit must control casualties, otherwise we won't be able to hold out for long."

"Commander, Captain Huang has rushed to the mountain pass, but seems to have encountered no resistance. Is that true..."

Staff Officer Wang was observing the battle ahead through a telescope at the temporary command post.

Mei Ping nodded: "Don't worry, the Red Bandits won't run away this time. It seems that our opponent is also an extraordinary opponent. They actually gave up the outer defense."

"Since the Red Bandits won't resist, let's proceed according to our plan."

"We're compressing space. On the surface, we're a regiment, but in reality, we're carrying two supplementary battalions, a total of 1500 people. The Red Bandits are only a few hundred."

"We must eliminate these Red Army soldiers before Deputy Commander Song and his men arrive, so that we can gain the first merit."

The battalion commanders under Mei Ping were all from Huangpu Military Academy and were pure soldiers.

In addition, the entire regiment was composed of veterans who had fought many battles, and the battle in the source cave quickly became fierce.

"Platoon leader, there are only four squads left on Beixia Mountain on the left. Requesting reinforcements."

"Even artillery reinforcements are fine."

Zhao Wu shot while gritting his teeth: "Leopard, take a squad of people and the sniper team to reinforce Beixia Mountain."

"The battle is now up to you. The captain and his men haven't reached their designated location yet. Even if all of you die, you must defend this position."

Leopard turned and left, bringing a sniper team and a squad of soldiers to the Beixiashan position.

A company of the Nationalist army is about to reach the position.

Without saying a word, Leopard ordered everyone to occupy advantageous positions and start shooting the enemy.

"boom"

The platoon leader of the National Army who was at the front responded

The reinforcements of this squad, under the command of Leopard, quickly pulled the trigger on the grenade and threw it towards the densely packed area where the enemy was attacking.

The enemy's offensive suddenly paused

A squad leader defending the mountain shouted loudly: "Comrades, reinforcements are coming, follow me to repel the enemy!"

After saying that, he picked up a Czech-made light machine gun and was the first to rush out of the trench with great momentum.

The remaining four squads of soldiers were no longer as awkward as they were at the beginning, and each of them became a tiger descending from the mountain.

The company commander of the National Army saw the Red Army coming like a tide and was about to give the order to retreat when he was shot in the head by Leopard.

The national army, having lost its command, became even more chaotic.

Some of the enemy company's troops were still charging, while some cleverly began to retreat.

There is a gap in the attack, which is just a few seconds.

The soldiers from four squads on the mountain were already engaged in a fight with the enemy.

The squad brought by Leopard had 20-shot box guns in almost every hand, and dense bullets burst out simultaneously in just a few tens of seconds.

In addition, at such a close distance, the enemy could no longer bear it and fell down in groups.

Leopard did not charge, but quickly pulled the bolt, and he and Lao Mao continued to snipe the enemy officers and machine gunners.

"Twenty-one", "Twenty-two", "Twenty-three..."

While firing, the old cat asked curiously, "Team leader, what are you counting?"

"I'm counting the number of people I've killed with my sniper. Be careful..."

A bullet suddenly flew towards the old cat. The leopard pounced on the old cat and asked with concern, "Are you okay?"

"Damn, these white dogs are pretty good at shooting."

The old cat stood up, shaking his head and cursing.

The leopard said this and kicked the old cat who had just stood up.

"Damn it! This is a battlefield and you're still distracted. You almost met your end!"

The old cat looked depressed. He had learned this from his coach. He would kick his thigh if he disagreed with him.

The old cat looked at the leopard's serious expression and couldn't help but shrink his neck. He grinned and said, "Team leader, I'm just curious, aren't I?"

"Damn it, the enemy hasn't retreated yet, kill them quickly!"

The leopard saw that the old cat was fine and joined the battle again

The old cat directed all his anger at the enemy, shooting them one by one, and continued to complain: "Damn it, you bunch of bastards, you have embarrassed me!"
