Chapter 143: Shock and Deter the Two Marshals
To talk about the combat effectiveness of the army in the early years of the Republic of China, it may be regarded as the worst period of the Republic of China, why do you say so, because the current army is transforming to a modern army, but limited by the domestic economy, it can only be said that there are some specious, the army, navy and air force in Europe have begun to take shape, at this time on the European battlefield, rifles, light and heavy machine guns, trucks, motorcycles, artillery and even airplanes have been equipped to the troops, in September this year, the tank known as the king of the land will also appear in the 'Battle of the Somme', 48 ' The Mark'I tank will be put into the battlefield, and this land weapon will change the situation in an instant. At this time, the army of the Republic of China, even the telegraph liaison system has not been initially built, not to mention the flexible use of the battlefield, now the war mainly relies on the rifles in the hands of the soldiers, occasionally equipped with a few Makqin heavy machine guns, these division commanders and brigade commanders are holding treasures, not to mention those who watch the artillery, just want to let their subordinates wipe the shiny every day, as a handicraft to offer.
Looking at Guo Yu's Huafu Army, the guards along the way, although they are very different from the rifles they have seen, but the workmanship is definitely a battlefield weapon. Moreover, just looking at the combat communication facilities of the other side, it has already surpassed itself too much, and the current army of the Republic of China has not yet been equipped with any modern communication equipment, including telegraphs.
"Two generals, please sit down, let me introduce myself first, the contemptible Wu Erzhu, now the commander of the first division of the Huafu Army, the two should be General Yang Shande and General Lu Yongxiang of the 10th Division of the Republic of China, the first time we met, it was a real pleasure." Wu Erzhu also learned the tone of his master's usual speech, and said to the two generals.
"You don't have to pretend to say these things, since we have become your subordinate prisoners today, how can we get down to listen to the respect, your division commander is self-appointed by your Huafu Army, Guo Yucai is a major general and division commander in the appointment of the Ministry of the Republic of China, you dare to call yourself the division commander, it's really a joke. You used such a means to kidnap us, aren't you afraid that we will be laughed at, and ask Guo Yu to come out and speak. Lu Yongxiang still put on an arrogant look, I don't know whether he thought that Hua Fujun would not dare to kill him, or whether he was bluffing to bluff Wu Erzhu.
Wu Erzhu was not annoyed when he heard Lu Yongxiang's words, and said with a slight smile, "The two armies are fighting at all costs, since they can capture you, they can kill you directly in the barracks, and take the head of the general among the ten thousand armies, isn't this what the most powerful generals in ancient times can do, I don't think it will be done, and now the two of you are in my Huafu military camp, which is the most favorable explanation." ”
Wu Erzhu also learned to quibble, Lu Yongxiang, who said a few words, was red-faced, and couldn't answer, the two of them were already in the enemy camp, this is already an indisputable fact, and there is really no way to answer Wu Erzhu's words.
"Zijia, don't worry, listen to what General Wu has to say." Yang Shande can see it clearly, now that the two of them have been captured, since the other party has not killed the killer, there is room for turnaround, and he can't provoke the other party for no reason, and it is not a wise choice to die by himself.
"My lord is still in Suzhou City, and the affairs on the battlefield are decided by us soldiers, so the two generals Yang and Lu, let's calm down and sit down and talk, after all, there are still more than 20,000 brothers of the Tenth Division waiting outside for the two to decide their fate." Wu Erzhu said.
"I think even if you capture me and Yang Dudu, our army will defeat you, and in the end your independence of Suzhou can only become a joke, don't you know that this time the army is a three-way army attacking Suzhou City, you have no way to escape but to be captured." Lu Yongxiang continued to use his scare method, trying to persuade Wu Erzhu to see that he was now in a position to defect, so that the two of them could still establish a miraculous skill and directly take down Guo Yu.
Lu Yongxiang's words made the officers present of the First Division of the Huafu Army laugh, and Cheng Quande, chief of staff of the First Division, said: "We have long known the information you said, otherwise you would have thought that we would have taken the two of you from the barracks of more than 20,000 people so simply, you underestimate our Huafu Army too much, you have been marching and fighting for so many years, and you don't even know the strength or weakness of the enemy, so you dare to send troops indiscriminately, don't you know the truth that arrogant soldiers will be defeated." ”
Cheng Quande was also annoyed by Lu Yongxiang's disrespect for Guo Yu in his tone, so he said a few words of sarcasm, these two sentences made Lu Yongxiang's face show shame and indignation again, after all, he was captured, and he was captured under heavy protection, which was a great shame for a soldier.
"General Wu, please say it directly, now that the two of us are here, we are already prisoners, so naturally we have no right to speak, but we will not do anything that is harmful to the country and the nation." Yang Shande said.
"Our Huafu Army is also the army of the Republic of China, and our Huafu Association is also an organization dedicated to the well-being of the people, how can we do things that harm the country and the nation, but the government of the Republic of China is bent on going its own way and forcing our Huafu Army to the point where it is now, we will naturally rise up to resist, my condition is to let the 10th Division lay down its arms and surrender, and wait for the end of the war to deal with it, otherwise, I think my 1st Division of the Huafu Army will make your leaderless 10th Division become a river of blood, all Chinese, For the sake of some brothers' walls of political discord, I don't think the two of you want to see each other. Wu Erzhu said.
"Our 10th Division is also a regular army of the Republic of China with strong combat power, how can it be like what you said, it is not necessarily who will be the one who will be bleeding at that time." Lu Yongxiang still couldn't let go of his capture, and he refused to suffer in words.
"Okay, I'll let the two of you see the combat power of our Huafu Army, and if you two compare it, it is estimated that you will make a correct judgment." Saying that, Wu Erzhu called Ma Dazhuang, the commander of the guard battalion, and asked him to take these two generals to see the power of the weapons of the Huafu Army.
Ma Dazhuang stretched out his hand and said to Yang Shande and Lu Yongxiang: "General Liangwei, please." Yang Shande and Lu Yongxiang glanced at each other, and then followed Ma Dazhuang out of the division tent and came to the open space outside the grove.
Ma Dazhuang called his own guard battalion, first let the soldiers use AK rifles to strafe the charge, watching the soldiers' skillful tactical movements, lying down, crawling forward, rolling and shooting, plus the guns that kept spraying the tongue of fire, these two people knew that the weapons in the hands of the soldiers were rifles that could fire continuously, and the firepower was very fierce, it was no less than the Makqin machine gun that he regarded as a treasure, if every soldier in the Huafu Army was equipped with such a murder weapon, his soldiers would not be able to raise their heads on the battlefield at all, How can this battle be fought?
"Is such a repeating rifle only available to your guard battalion?" Yang Shande asked the doubts in his heart.
"All our soldiers use this kind of weapon, this is just the most basic weapon equipment of our Huafu Army, our individual equipment also has grenades and bazookas, I will show you later." Being able to show his face in front of the two generals and shock them, Ma Dazhuang felt very excited, so he directly took out the guard weapon of his guard battalion.
After a few grenades were thrown out, Yang Shande could see that the power of Huafu's military grenades was much stronger than that of his own army. Grenades appeared very early, in the middle of the 17th century, some countries in Europe were equipped with field grenades in the elite troops, and then the grenades were given a cold reception for a period of time, but with the rise of trench warfare in modern warfare, grenades were widely used again, and even the army of the Republic of China was equipped with a batch, but the grenades used now are obviously not powerful enough compared with the F1 grenades purchased by Guo Yu. I felt that the grenades thrown out by the soldiers of the Huafu Army were like small cannonballs, exploding a large area. What shocked the two even more was the RPG bazooka taken out by the guard battalion, isn't this just a shell, and it is also a single soldier holding a parallel launch of artillery, if this kind of bazooka is used in the fortress offensive and defensive warfare, it will be a nightmare for the fortress defender, four hundred meters away directly bombardment the bunker firing port, as long as the soldiers using the bazooka shoot high enough, that shot can kill all the soldiers in the bunker, then this defensive point set with great effort will be taken by the enemy instantly, and after several defensive points are taken, It is possible that this battle will be fought to the end.
The two have not yet woken up from the shock, after being taken to the first artillery regiment, seeing the pieces of heavy artillery, as well as the short artillery that I don't know what model it is, the two of them are already a little speechless, even if this kind of equipment is the best first to third divisions of the Republic of China, it is impossible to equip such large-caliber artillery, because now the great powers have strict restrictions on the export of heavy firepower to the Republic of China. Of course, there is no way for the heavy artillery to demonstrate to these two, because they can't see the effect of a shell hitting 20 kilometers away, and it is possible to hit the station of the 10th Division directly. Of course, the mortar can come with a few shots.
The commander of the artillery regiment has received an order from the division headquarters to demonstrate the power of the artillery to these two generals, "Two, this is a 60 mm caliber mortar equipped with our artillery, which can be regarded as the shortest range and the least powerful artillery of our artillery unit. With that, he went to arrange for the soldiers to fire the cannons.
THESE TWO HAVE ALSO SEEN ARTILLERY, THE ARTILLERY NOW EQUIPPED BY THE REPUBLIC OF CHINA TROOPS IS MOSTLY MOUNTAIN ARTILLERY AND FIELD ARTILLERY, 75 MM CALIBER ARTILLERY IS ALREADY THE MAIN FORCE OF HEAVY ARTILLERY, HOW HAVE YOU SEEN SUCH A CANNON, AT THIS TIME THE EYES OF THE TWO PEOPLE ARE STILL LINGERING ON A ROW OF 24 122MM AND 152MM HEAVY ARTILLERY PLACED IN THE OPEN SPACE, THE TWO OF THEM ARE ALSO CHURNING IN THEIR HEARTS, IF THEIR TROOPS ARE SHELLED BY SUCH A HEAVY ARTILLERY GROUP, IT IS ESTIMATED THAT THEY WILL BE DIRECTLY DISABLED, OF COURSE, THESE TWO ARE ALSO REALLY GREEDY FOR THESE HEAVY ARTILLERY, AS LONG AS THE SOLDIERS LIKE HIGH-POWERED WEAPONS, These two are no exception.
The two mortar shells hit the target accurately, and the big tree that was used as a target was directly blown off, sawdust flew one after another, and the smoke and dust from the explosion did not disperse for a long time. It also made the mood of these two generals unable to calm down for a while. At this time, the camp of the 10th Division, twenty miles away from the Huafu Army's battle line, was already in chaos, because the two supreme commanders of their army were lost. R1152
