Republic of China game

He walked to the front of the map, staring deeply at the large wasteland around Lindian County, and suddenly felt a little irritable: "Really...brothers fight against the wall, and don't look at the general trend of the world!"

At this moment in the northern part of the great wilderness, the sound of artillery has been ringing through the sky. Starting from 10:30 this morning, the artillery and mortars of both sides began to fire shells desperately as if they did not want money.Of course, most of this firepower came from the nearly 300 civilian 13-type 75mm mountain cannons owned by the eight artillery regiments of the Allied Army.Most of these cannons were originally stored by the Northeast Army in the warehouse of Songbei Daying in Heilongjiang, and were later obtained by Wang Zhongyi's troops. Now they have become their weapon to bombard the Red 29th Division adapted from the Northeast Army!

These simple and portable 75mm mountain guns were placed on the forward position, and they were lined up facing the opposite Red 29th Division position with a fierce bombardment. 300 cannons roared at the same time, shells rained down, and clusters of orange flames exploded one after another on the hastily arranged positions.Since the Red 29th Division was caught off guard and encountered the Allied Army, there was no time to build a continuous position and solid artillery fortifications.In this way, nearly 29 officers and soldiers of the whole division were exposed to the fierce shelling of the enemy.For a while, the cannons slapped repeatedly, and the steel fragments flew wantonly, harvesting life to their heart's content, turning the entire position guarded by the Red [-]th Division into a terrifying hell...

The gunfire was like thunder, and the bayonet was like a forest.

As soon as the artillery fire was ready for 10 minutes, tens of thousands of infantrymen of the Allied Army faced the sporadic artillery fire from the position of the Red 29th Division and moved forward along the road opened by the artillery fire.These Red Army reorganized from the Northeast Army were obviously stunned by the sudden violent artillery fire. It was not until the assaulting Union soldiers almost rushed under their noses that they began to organize effective resistance, and the firepower of machine guns and rifles also began to fire intensively.One by one, the Red Army infantry who survived the artillery fire stared at the Union Army infantry who were swarming forward with wide eyes and opened fire desperately.The heavy firing sound of the Soviet-made M1910 Maxim machine gun "chug chug" rang out across the entire front.

However, the resistance of the Red 29th Division ended here, and suffered heavy casualties due to the overwhelming artillery fire.It was attacked by enemy superior infantry several times its own.This is just a red flag, and the others are just changing the soup. The former infantry division of the Northeast Army has just resisted for an hour and has fallen into a collapsed situation!

The battle report from the front line was quickly delivered to Lin Yurong.

"Good! Well done! We knocked out a division of them in an hour and a half."

In the headquarters of Lindian County, Lin Yurong finally couldn't hold back his excitement, and couldn't help but praise on the phone: "Comrade Yizhi, this can be regarded as the prestige of our alliance army! But the next battle mission is still very heavy. , you don’t want to fight, just defeat the Red 29th Division, and then we have to deal with the Red 30th Division... We must repel them one by one! Have the cavalry been sent out? Well, let the cavalry brigade chase the remnants of the Red 29th Division... must Destroy the northern flank of the enemy army as soon as possible, not for complete annihilation, but for destruction."

On the side of the Red Army, Zhang Xueliang also grabbed the earpiece of the phone, listening to the unfavorable news from the North Wing Command with a pale face.

The gunfire of the Tuo bandit army has an absolute advantage, with excellent shooting skills and sufficient ammunition.In the beginning, it was bombarded with intensive artillery fire, causing heavy casualties to the headquarters of the Red 29th Division.The brigade headquarters of the 57th Brigade was hit by enemy artillery fire, and brigade commander Shen Ke was seriously injured.The artillery battalion of the Red 29th Division could not suppress the opponent's artillery group at all... After preparing for the artillery fire, the bandit army quickly launched an infantry attack.Tens of thousands of infantry rushed to the front of the Red 29th Division with crowd tactics, achieved a breakthrough in a very short period of time, and started a hand-to-hand melee with the officers and soldiers of the Red 29th Division, trying to use the absolute advantage in numbers to wipe out the Red 29th Division!After seeing through the conspiracy of the bandits, Liu Duoquan, the commander of the Red 29th Division, decisively ordered to retreat in order to preserve his vitality.

Zhang Xueliang almost lost his ability to judge for a moment. In just one and a half hours, an entire division was defeated by the enemy with a sea of ​​fire and a sea of ​​people!And now the four divisions on the south wing of his own have not yet completed their assembly, let alone set out to go north.The remaining four divisions on the northern wing have just completed their turn. Among them, only the Red 30th Division went north to reinforce the Red 29th Division. It is a teacher who has beaten 29 or 6 people!If the Red 30th Division loses again, there will only be three divisions left on the northern wing... Can they hold back the main force of the bandits before the four divisions on the southern wing come up?Even if they can hold back the main force of the bandits and reverse the situation with the four Red Army divisions that came up later, how many casualties and losses will there be?Will you give up all your little capital?

Jiang Dengxuan, the head of the Red Eleventh Army and the commander in chief of the North Wing, came from the headset of the phone, asking for reinforcements hoarsely.The artillery is required to be strengthened, more reinforcements are needed, and the air force is required to dispatch immediately to suppress the enemy artillery.And Zhang Xueliang fell into his own thoughts for a moment, and didn't answer.

Ye Ting, chief of staff of the Heilongjiang Front Army, was rather calm.He and several staff officers made gestures in front of the sand table, and finally said loudly to Zhang Xueliang: "Comrade Commander, the combat effectiveness of the bandit army is indeed very strong, but they focus on destroying the northern wing of our army, which will bring us a beneficial effect instead." The situation on the battlefield. Our northern flank can become the target of attracting the main force of the Tuosi army for a decisive battle. We can order the northern flank to turn to the defensive, build fortifications on the spot, and fight a war of attrition with them... You know, there is a steady stream of Soviet troops behind us The weapons, ammunition, and supplies that came from them were supplemented, and they could only rely on the combat supplies stored before the war. If a war of attrition started, it would soon bottom out! Moreover, we have a railway behind us, so we can quickly transport the troops behind Come up, then we will be able to reverse the situation in one fell swoop, and even annihilate the main force of the bandit army on the front line of Heilongjiang!"

Chief of Staff Ye Ting's suggestion seemed to have awakened Zhang Xueliang. The bandit army's combat effectiveness was very strong, but they were far inferior to the Red Army in terms of strength and logistics.So if you really want to fight the main battle, the advantage is still on your side... And even if you want to preserve your strength, you can't retreat now. If you retreat, the whole line may collapse.The best way is to order your northern wing to stand on the spot. If the bandit army wants to preserve their strength, they will naturally retreat.On the contrary, the main force of the Red Army in Jilin will arrive at the front line in Heilongjiang within a few days. The winner of this war is still myself, and my position in the party will only be more stable by then.

He put down the phone, walked to the front of the sand table and discussed with Ye Ting for a few words, hastily made a plan for troop adjustment, and then gave an order to the staff: "Call the Central Revolutionary Military Commission, the main force of the bandit army in Heilongjiang has already joined us. In a decisive battle with the Chinese army, the enemy army has shown the spirit of breaking the boat and launched a fierce assault on the northern wing of our front, requesting the Central Revolutionary Military Commission to quickly transfer the reserve troops on the front line of Jilin Province to the direction of Heilongjiang, and our army will stick to the front line and try our best Expand the two wings, and when the reinforcements gather, we will outflank and wipe out the main force of the bandit army, the time for a decisive battle has come, please make a quick decision by the Central Revolutionary Military Commission!"

Then he issued another order to the staff with a stern expression: "Commander Jiang, the northern wing, ordered the Red 30th Division to organize defenses on the spot, hold back the main force of the bandit army, and buy time for our army to adjust and deploy. In addition, gather the main force In the direction of the front in Lindian County, stand firm and do not take a step back! Tell Jiang Chaoliu that the Red Eighth Army Corps and the main force of the Red Army in Jilin Province will arrive here soon! As long as we persevere to the end, victory must belong to us! If in Before the main force of the Red Army came up, the defense on the north wing was defeated by the bandits, so the military law shall be followed!"

"Decree, force Liu Duoquan to be the commander of the 29th Division! Shoot the regiment commander who first gave up his position, so as to enforce the military law!"

Chapter 0615 brothers fight the wall (five) determine the strength

March 1931, 5 AD.

In Changchun, Jilin's Central Revolutionary Military Commission's garrison, there was already a scene of extreme tension.Every staff officer has a livid face, guarding the phone, and doing their own work around the map.A large number of troops have to move back and forth in the narrow and long territory controlled by the CCP. On the one hand, they have to deal with the increasing military pressure from the Kuomintang, and on the other hand, they have to deploy the encirclement and suppression of the Troutian armed forces.The Qiqihar offensive in Heilongjiang has already begun, and there is another Mongolian front army on the front line of Rehe and Jilin that is urgently formed.Always ready to go into battle.Contact with the Soviet Union is also ongoing.They need to provide astronomical supplies of weapons and ammunition, and they need to help train more troops to join this war.Since the start of the "Suto War", the Soviet Union has also become extremely generous. Almost any assistance request from the CCP can be satisfied. The Soviet Union is now willing to provide everything including heavy artillery, tanks, and aircraft parts free of charge. As long as the CCP can seriously eliminate those Trotskyists entrenched in Mongolia and western Heilongjiang.For a while, officers and staff officers at all levels in the Central Revolutionary Military Commission fell in love with Trotsky, an enemy, and everyone planned in their hearts to fight this war for a little longer... But the sudden decisive battle broke the Good wishes from all.The Trotskyist armed forces fought a decisive battle with the main force of the westward Heilongjiang front army on the wilderness east of Qiqihar with unprecedented ferocity.Originally, the Heilongjiang front army just wanted to force the Trotskyist forces to abandon the western part of Heilongjiang with the main force going west, but who knew that it attracted a large force that was suspected to be the main force of the Trotskyist faction!

Once the Heilongjiang front army is severely damaged, the bandits will turn from defense to offense, and even seize Harbin and even the whole of Heilongjiang. Then the CCP’s strategic situation will deteriorate rapidly. If the Kuomintang gets involved again, the revolution will be in danger of failing.The choice at this time may be to reinforce the main force of the Red Army that is being formed into the Mongolian Front Army!But in this way, it is tantamount to giving up the threat to Mongolia, the home of the Trotskyites, and it will also leave Chahar, Rehe and other places in a defensive void.

At this time, everyone is waiting for Zhou Enlai, the chairman and vice chairman of the Central Revolutionary Military Commission, and the Red Army General Political Commissar to make the final decision.

And the head of the Red Army is in his office, thinking hard about a map marked with colorful symbols.Zhu De, commander-in-chief of the Red Army, walked in quietly.When Zhou Enlai heard the sound of the door, he turned his head. His face was already full of exhaustion, and his eye circles were blue due to excessive use of brain power.The outbreak of this decisive battle with the Trotskyites obviously brought great pressure to him.

"General Political Commissar, haven't you made a decision yet? The Heilongjiang Front Army is requesting reinforcements, and the Communist International has also sent instructions to send the main force to the direction of Heilongjiang as soon as possible. Comrade Stalin personally issued the instruction... already very angry The subtext is probably saying that our CCP reacted too slowly and was suspected of conniving with the Trotskyites..."

Zhou Enlai smiled coldly: "I don't know how this Trotsky provoked Stalin? Wang Zhongyi just put up a sign and didn't really trust him to send him, and he wouldn't let him go! Moreover, he didn't understand the current situation of China's trusteeship. Let’s take a look.” He grabbed Zhu De’s arm and dragged him to the front of the map.

"Now the bandit army has been found in the west of Heilongjiang and southeastern Mongolia. The bandit army in Heilongjiang fought fiercely, forcing Zhang Xueliang's Heilongjiang front army to turn to the defensive, and transferred the Red Eighth Army to us, and they continued to attack us. Urgent! But I still believe that there is only the size of an army of the Tuo Bandits! The Tuo Bandits are now strategically surrounded by us and the Soviet Union. Without a source of logistical supplies, they cannot support a long-term war. This is our best chance of winning. We only need to fight with them to win the game! And if they want to really reverse the situation, they can only take down Chahar and open up the line of communication with the Kuomintang... and we have deployed heavy troops in Chahar and Rehe. If We transferred most of the troops there to Heilongjiang, and the main force of the bandit army lurking near Zhongyi Fort in eastern Mongolia will definitely go south. At that time, Chahar will definitely not be able to hold it, and the bandits will get logistics, and our site It was also divided into two, what do you think should be done?"

Zhou Enlai was excited, and his expression was full of the deepest worries.

Zhu De was a little silent: "If our main force doesn't move, can Zhang Xueliang's Heilongjiang front army maintain the residents? What if he is defeated by the bandit army, what will happen to Heilongjiang?"

Zhou Enlai still nodded slowly: "Yes, we can't take this risk either. Heilongjiang Province is very important to us, and we must not lose it. The only way out now may be to order the main force of the Red Army to attack Mongolia... If the bandits are attacked in Mongolia and Heilongjiang at the same time, they may choose their doctrine again. While we are fighting the bandits, we must never forget the threat from the south. Only by pulling them back to the right path, we Only a successful revolution can succeed..."

"Then what about the Heilongjiang front army? What if they really encounter the main force of the bandits? Their combat effectiveness is very weak... and after our main force enters Mongolia, the bandit army is likely to avoid the battle. The attack on Mongolia is not enough It will be decided soon.”

Zhou Enlai looked at Zhu De and said with a sneer: "Boss Zhu, do you think Zhang Xueliang's Heilongjiang front army can stop the attack of the main force of the Tuo bandit army until our main force arrives? If the bandit army deployed 15 troops in the west of Heilongjiang , Zhang Xueliang has been defeated long ago! He is still struggling to hold on now, which shows that what he encountered was only a 6-strong army of bandits. It is not dangerous to use Zhang Xueliang's 20 troops against [-] bandits Yes. And our main force will still be used on the Mongolian side, dispatching five legions to attack Mongolia, as long as we can find the main force of the bandits for a decisive battle, we will definitely win this battle!"

Zhou Enlai's hand slapped heavily in the direction of eastern Mongolia, where he had already marked a thick arrow with his own hands.Directly pointing to Zhongyi Fort in eastern Mongolia, this is also an important stronghold for Wang Zhongyi to manage painstakingly.The main force of the bandit army is probably lurking there, and attacking there will definitely force the main force of the bandit army to start a decisive battle with the Red Army. As long as they are willing to fight, the Red Army must win!

In fact, Zhou Enlai had another plan that he did not discuss with Zhu Deming... The attack on Zhongyi Fort in eastern Mongolia also had the meaning of besieging Wei and saving Zhao.If Wang Zhongyi stopped attacking the main force of Zhang Xueliang's Heilongjiang front army and let them go back to Harbin, the main force of the Red Army could also retreat from Mongolia, allowing the war to continue to drag on.Because no matter from the perspective of obtaining Soviet aid or consuming bandits, delaying it is definitely in the best interest of the CCP!

……

From the map, there is a protrusion at the easternmost end of Outer Mongolia, which is inserted into Inner Mongolia like a wedge.From the perspective of the administrative division of time and space, the north of this salient part is the Wulanchabu League belonging to Heilongjiang Province, the east is the Xing'an League belonging to Jilin Province, and the south is adjacent to Rehe Province and Chahar Province The northern part of the north is really a strategically important place for military strategists to contend for!

On the map of Outer Mongolia in this time and space, this salient area that the military strategists must contend for now has a new name-Zhongyi Fort!The name is derived from a military fort on the shore of Lake Bell in the northern part of the salient.This fortress named after the Mongolian ruler Wang Zhongyi was a large military fortress built by tens of thousands of civilians after Wang Zhongyi ruled Mongolia. It took three years and cost tens of millions to build. In this "Su-Tuo War", the most important stronghold of the Trotskyist armed Chinese Communist Alliance Army.Once this large stronghold located at the junction of Northeast China, North China and Mongolia is removed by the Red Army, the Trotskyites will lose their foothold in the entire Eastern Mongolia!

Zhou Enlai's guess was correct. This corner of the Mongolian plateau is now an ocean of troops, and the main force of the Chinese Communist Alliance Army is gathered here.The core of this army is the First Cavalry Corps!This cavalry corps, which is probably unique in the world, includes two powerful cavalry corps, the First Cavalry Army and the Second Cavalry Army.The formation of these two cavalry armies is exactly the same as that of the infantry army of the Union Army. They are both two divisions, four brigades and eight regiments. Each army has nearly 3 people and three artillery regiments equipped with 75mm mountain guns.If such a powerful cavalry is placed in the interior, it may not be a big deal. After all, the cavalry is already an outdated unit.But placed on the Mongolian grassland, which has been the natural battlefield of cavalry for thousands of years, this highly mobile army is a force that can determine the outcome of a war!And controlling this key force is another confidant general Tang Yao...

Another legion gathered near Zhongyi Fort is the Third Army of the Union Army. This legion also has two armies, the Fifth Army and the Sixth Army, with a total of nearly 6 people and nearly [-] artillery pieces. The Second Army Corps, which is fighting Zhang Xueliang in Heilongjiang Province, is exactly the same, and it is also a very powerful striking force.Leading this regiment was Tian Chengye, the former general of the Eighth Division of the National Revolutionary Army who graduated from the second phase of Whampoa.

At the same time that the CCP was planning to use the main Red Army in their hands to attack Zhongyi Fort and force the Allied Army to carry out the main decisive battle.Wang Zhongyi, Tang Yao, An Sihua, the Kuomintang representative who just arrived, and dozens of division commanders, brigade commanders, and regimental leaders gathered in the spacious main hall of the headquarters compound in Zhongyi Fort, eating roast lamb and drinking meat. Tang, discussing enthusiastically whether he should also play the trump card in his hand, and eliminate the Heilongjiang Front Army of the Red Army who is fighting fiercely with the Second Army in one fell swoop.

An Sihua was dressed in casual clothes and did not wear a hat. He leaned tiredly on the back of the chair, smiled and said to Wang Zhongyi beside him: "The alliance army seems to have high morale, and the training is also very tight. It’s really not easy to train such an elite team…By the way, when do you plan to invest in this main force? Are you going to fight Chahar or Heilongjiang?”

Wang Zhongyi seemed to be full of energy, and he seemed quite confident about the development of the battle. He smiled and said: "This Lin Yurong will definitely handle it well. After all, he is in charge of this battle, and he has played well so far. "

An Sihua said with a smile: "Lin Yurong is really lucky to meet your boss! He is only in his 20s and has already commanded 20 troops. His talent is certainly high, but he cannot do without your trust. His Those seniors, if they can become division commanders in our National Revolutionary Army, they will be the best."

Wang Zhongyi rolled his eyes and laughed: "Brother Sihua, how can the coalition army of our grass-roots team compare with your National Revolutionary Army? Weapon training and combat command can't be compared in any way. If there are two National Revolutionary Army in Heilongjiang The division of the army, right now Zhang Xueliang’s entire army has already collapsed, maybe Harbin has also been defeated. Unlike now, after two days of fighting and still fighting hard, I don’t know when Zhang Xueliang’s 10,000+ army will be defeated? Only by defeating them Only then can the main force of the Red Army be transferred to Heilongjiang, and we can also go south to attack Chahar. Otherwise, we will have no logistical supplies. If this war is delayed for a year and a half, our alliance army will be out of ammunition and food. .”

An Sihua nodded slightly, this time he was sent by Luo Yaoguo to discuss with Chen Duxiu and Wang Zhongyi about inviting Trotsky to Mongolia, and he also had the task of helping Wang Zhongyi to advise the military.Although Wang Zhongyi already had a god-level military strategist like Lin Yurong beside him, Luo Yaoguo was still a little worried, so he sent An Sihua, who was recognized as China's No. [-] military strategist, to Mongolia.

"Brother Zhongyi, the key to this battle now is whether Lin Yurong can use 6 people to defeat Zhang Xueliang's 10,000+ people." An Sihua sipped his cuddy and said with a smile: "Zhang Xueliang can't fight anymore, after all, there are 10,000+ people Great army, now they are huddling together and slowly fighting with your alliance army... I am afraid that this battle will be fought. Don't you consider transferring the First Cavalry Corps to Heilongjiang?"

Wang Zhongyi shook his head slightly: "There is no doubt about employing people, and there is no need for doubting people. Since the overall situation has been entrusted to Lin Yurong, I have to trust his judgment. Now he has not proposed to use the First Cavalry Corps. He must have his consideration. At this time , I will not interfere with his command."

An Sihua chuckled: "Since Brother Zhongyi said so, it is inconvenient for me, an outsider, to say more. In fact, I did not come to Mongolia to advise your alliance army, but for a key person to assist you. Wen wants this character to enter Mongolia in due course..."

……

At this time, the fighting on the wilderness in the west of Heilongjiang has become more and more intense.In the southeast of Lindian County, the 5 troops of the Second Army Corps are gradually falling into a bitter battle.They defeated the Red 5th Division in a surprise attack on May 29, and then defeated the Red 30th Division who came for reinforcements, shaking the northern front of the Red Army's Heilongjiang Front Army.At the same time, it also attracted the main force of the entire Heilongjiang front army, and caused the high-level CCP in Changchun to fall into hesitation.But then Zhang Xueliang gritted his teeth and stabilized the battle situation. He strictly ordered Jiang Dengxuan, the commander-in-chief of the Northern Wing, to hold on to it at all costs, and not to give up the position for any reason!At the same time, the four divisions on the southern wing and the Red Eighth Army from Harbin were also put into the battlefield one after another.

After receiving reinforcements, the Red Army quickly built a relatively solid line of defense about 10 kilometers southeast of Lindian County, with a total strength of 10 divisions, about 16 people.To defeat such a large defender, it is indeed a very difficult task for the Second Army of the Allied Army, which has only two armies and four divisions.This legion is only 6 people, 10 less than the opponent, and the number of artillery is only similar to the opponent.Moreover, the supply line behind them has not yet been opened, and the Red Army can continuously receive Soviet aid from Vladivostok through the Middle East Railway.If the battle continues, the alliance's offensive will definitely fail due to insufficient supplies!

In the operating room of the headquarters of the Second Army Corps of the Alliance Army in Lindian County, Lin Yurong and Shen Xingye were standing in front of the map, discussing whether to change the battle plan and mobilize reinforcements from Zhongyi Fort to completely defeat Zhang Xueliang's Heilongjiang front army.

"How is the railway from Hailar to Qiqihar?" Lin Yurong asked suddenly after concentrating on the map for a moment.

"The railway is still in operation. When we retreated from Harbin, we drove all the moving trains to Hailar." A staff officer in charge of logistics and transportation replied loudly.

Lin Yurong nodded: "Yizhi, the First Army marched quickly on horseback. It took two days to cover the 170 kilometers. One day to board the train, one day to Qiqihar, and at most two days to go into battle. That is to say, we can We mobilized 12 reinforcements within six days, so 16 people fought against Zhang Xueliang's [-]. Judging from the current fighting situation, our combat power is at least three times that of theirs, and we should be able to defeat them."

"Chief of Staff, I have a question." Shen Xingye looked at the map and said, "According to the original plan, we should have a feint attack in Heilongjiang to attract the main force of the Red Army, so as to create conditions for the First and Third Army to raid Chahar, but If we also transfer the First Army Corps to Heilongjiang, even if we defeat Zhang Xueliang, I am afraid there will not be enough troops to raid Chahar, right?"

"There is no problem with the strength of the troops. The key is to attract the main force of the Red Army." Lin Yurong replied without the slightest hesitation: "We are fighting on the inside for this battle. Zhongyi Fort, and then rest for a few days before going south to Chahar... There is always a thousand kilometers of riding and maneuvering this way. If we don't have the First Cavalry Corps, I am afraid it will be an impossible task. But we have such a team The fast cavalry...let them work hard, at most tens of thousands of horses will be killed, and they should be able to complete the task."

Chapter 0616 Trotsky is coming (a) really?

"Invite Trotsky to Mongolia!"

Wang Zhongyi exclaimed, his eyes widened, and he stared at An Sihua on the opposite side: "Sihua, is this your idea or Fuwen's idea? Do you know that if Trotsky came to Mongolia, Stalin would Will there be any reaction?"
