The beacon of youth

...a plane pulling black smoke hit the ground with a piercing cry, followed by a tripod fire and two explosions, the cheers on the ground of the Independence Regiment shook the heavens and earth, and the Kuomintang guards on the head of Yulin City Jun, on the other hand, was as silent as his dead father.

The old-fashioned propeller plane is very likely to be beaten down by dozens of machine gun salvos when it dives. It has to be said that it is a relatively strong Mustang type. In order to pursue speed and flexibility, fighter jets sacrifice their own protection. Basically, they have no armor protection, and some parts are made of wood.

The most critical places on the plane are the pilot, the engine and the fuel tank. If you want to increase the safety performance of the plane, you must focus on these three places, but if you add armor protection to these three places, it will be reduced due to the increase in weight. Speed ​​and flexibility, a good aircraft is to find a balance point in various indicators, and the same is true for other weapons.

When Li Yong, Wang Chengde and the soldiers were happy, Li Jia, the leader of the third platoon of communication, came to report and called the column headquarters.

Li Yong hurriedly picked up the phone, and the voice of the commander came from the microphone. He only heard the commander on the phone laughing and said: "Da Yong? You guys are doing a good job. The political commissar and I are still there." The chief of staff studied together. This time I will give you a credit. Other brigades should do the same as you. They have to fight when they encounter planes. Don’t let them be too arrogant. You can’t be conservative. You must learn from your experience. Give it to them, but also guarantee the church, is there any problem?" Li Yong hurriedly expressed to the commander that he would definitely complete the task.

After solving the aircraft problem, the independent regiment continued to speed up the progress of digging the trench. In the afternoon, the front of the trench was only tens of meters away from the enemy's first blockade line, which was the effective distance for throwing grenades.

Li Yong ordered the troops to stop digging and occupy the frontier positions to be careful of the enemy's sneak attack. Li Yong's worries are not unreasonable. Although the 22nd Army in Yulin is a Kuomintang miscellaneous brand, they dare to work hard for their own property, and it is time to do it. A dog jumps over a wall in a hurry, a rabbit bites a person in a hurry, and a person can do anything if he is in a hurry.

As expected, hundreds of enemy soldiers jumped out of the bunkers under the leadership of the officers, split into two groups and rushed towards the two trenches dug by the Independent Regiment respectively. There are very few who have taken the initiative to counterattack during the day.

Li Yong didn't give any orders, he just used the walkie-talkie to notify the first battalion and the second battalion, and they would solve it by themselves. Li Jiangguo and Ma Quanyou were veteran soldiers who had experienced many battles, so they didn't take such a counterattack at all.

Each of them used only three platoons of soldiers, and told the soldiers to put the enemy as close as possible. The People's Liberation Army likes melee combat the most. They waited until the group of enemies were only a few tens of meters away from the front line. open fire.

The infantry battalion of the independent regiment was not equipped with heavy weapons. Li Yong concentrated heavy machine guns and small artillery in the machine gun battalion and artillery battalion. The five infantry battalions and the reconnaissance battalion were only equipped with infantry light weapons. Although only infantry light weapons, each battalion There are dozens of Czech light machine guns and a large number of submachine guns.When the advantages of light machine guns and submachine guns are most effective on such a hand-to-hand battlefield, a round of volleys left hundreds of corpses in front of the positions of the first battalion and the second battalion, and the rest scrambled and crawled. fled back.

Li Yong used his binoculars to observe while thinking: the KMT should make more counterattacks like this, why should they think so?Because the enemy's counterattack force did not come out from the city, the enemy in the city has not yet dared to open the gate.

The four gates of Yulin City surrounded by our army were all blocked with sandbags, and the counterattacking enemies came out of the bunkers outside the city.

On the defensive side, the bunker group is one of the best defensive methods. This method has no obvious disadvantages. The offensive side will pay a high price to eat these bunkers. This is also the most difficult for our army to deal with. one of the difficulties.

The only disadvantage of using a large number of bunkers for defense is that the personnel are scattered and it is difficult to organize a large-scale attack, but this feature is not considered a disadvantage for the 22nd Army of the Kuomintang who does not want to attack.

It would be great if the enemy could come out of the bunkers and engage in field battles with our army. Enemies who gave up their fortifications would be massacred by our army's firepower. Such a good thing is hard to find.

Thinking of this, Li Yong used the walkie-talkie to inform Li Jiangguo and Ma Quanyou on the front line that they should not be too aggressive when attacking the enemy's counterattack, and only rely on repulsion. Don't expose all the firepower and troops, and try to make the enemy counterattack a few more times. If we can consume more enemies in the bunker, the firepower in the bunker will be weaker when we attack.

Li Jiangguo and Ma Quanyou understood Li Yong's order, and withdrew most of the soldiers and put them in the second-line positions. The rest of the soldiers also showed their intention to continue digging.

The Kuomintang defenders on the city wall became anxious when they saw our soldiers still digging forward, and ordered the enemies in the bunkers to continue to counterattack.

The enemy in the bunker outside has nothing to do, the high officials who gave the command orders are all in the city, and the bunkers outside are all low-level officers. Although they know that going out will be bad luck, they can only carry out the order, so they have to come out to our army. For the second time, he pounced on the ground.

This time the firepower of the Independence Regiment was much lighter, and it took a long time to drive back the counterattacking Kuomintang soldiers. This time, the enemies inside and outside the city seemed to be encouraged, thinking that our army was still the same as before, although The soldiers are brave, but they lack weapons and ammunition and have no continuous combat capability.

They counterattacked several times in a row, under the command of Li Jiangguo and Ma Quanyou, each time they were reluctantly repelled by the soldiers.

Li Yong saw that it was getting dark, and estimated that our military-scale offensive would start soon. During the enemy's counterattack, he used his walkie-talkie to order Li Jiangguo and Ma Quanyou to wipe out all the enemies who came out to counterattack.

The first battalion and the second battalion that received the order used a sudden burst of firepower to push all the Kuomintang soldiers who were attacking again to the front of the position.

At the same time, Li Yong ordered the heavy-lifting battalion to replenish the ammunition consumed by the first and second battalions immediately. He Cuihua, the deputy battalion commander of the heavy-lifting battalion who received the order, did not recommend it either. rushed up from behind.

Looking at He Cuihua's back, Sun Quanhou sighed and said: "If this girl is a brat, she might not know what she will be like, but it's not a bad thing if there are too many people like this in the army." More, support the author, support genuine reading!
