The beacon of youth

Xiaohou didn't say anything about Zong.A red-boiled signal bomb rose into the air.On the high sky of Tsukuda.A red signal flare in the already dark sky was very conspicuous. The soldiers all opened their eyes and looked up to the sky. Then another, three red signal flares popped up over the independent regiment's position.Immediately afterwards, red signal flares were fired one after another on the positions of our brother troops.

At the same time as the signal flare rose, the Northwest Field Army's artillery group outside the city began to shoot at the defenders in Yulin, and the second Yulin battle officially began.

Cannons of various models and calibers gathered the entire field army roaring and pouring shells towards Yulin City.Round after round of salvos, the battlefield was shaken, and the sound of explosions made people's ears buzz.When people talk face to face, they can't hear them unless they shout loudly, and the impact point is blown to pieces.Thick smoke billowed, and stones, tiles, guns, and parts of human bodies all flew into the sky with the explosion.

Li Yong, Wang Chengde and others observed with binoculars behind the hidden position, and saw that the first wave of bombardment by our army's artillery was not the various defensive facilities the enemy had set up outside the city as in the past, but most of the artillery shells. They all flew to certain places in the city, and only a small part of the shells dealt with the enemy's defensive positions outside the city.

Under the incomprehensible eyes of the soldiers, Li Yong explained: "This is a suggestion put forward by our regiment and adopted by the head of the headquarters, because our army's artillery and shells are limited, so the best way is to use the limited shells. The artillery group that the enemy set up inside the city that poses the greatest threat to us is eliminated, and the enemy's various defensive facilities outside the city can only rely on our explosives. This is also impossible. This will not be the case when our conditions improve in the future.

As if to verify what Li Yong said, most of our army's artillery fire really continued to fly towards the city. The flames in Yulin City were soaring into the sky, and the sound of explosions became one.A small amount of artillery shells did not cause much damage to the enemy's facilities outside the city. The effect was several consecutive waves of bombardment, and the enemy's artillery fire did not respond at all.

At this moment, Li Jia, the leader of the third communication platoon, ran over to Li Yong and told Li Yong the phone number from the headquarters, and the hearty laughter of the commander came from the phone again:

"Dayong, do you understand? I reported your suggestion to the head of the headquarters. The suggestion was adopted. Just now the head of the headquarters called and said that our comrades who are doing underground work in Yulin City are risking being attacked by the enemy." The danger of killing uses a walkie-talkie to direct the artillery to shoot, the effect is very good, the artillery is very accurate.

How many times the enemy is located in the city.The heavy artillery positions have all been wiped out by our artillery fire. The enemy's artillery seems to be useless, but Da Yong, our artillery shells are almost exhausted. The enemy's defense facilities outside the city can only be solved by using explosives.

The commander on the phone seemed to be thinking about something, and said to himself: "It would be even better if I could come for another 10 minutes. It would be even better if I could come for another 10 minutes. My soldiers can be reduced." many casualties

Li Yong didn't ask the commander what he meant. He guessed that the firepower of the field army could only last for about 10 minutes, and there would be no more shells.The only artillery shells have been fired in the past 10 minutes. If you want to fight again, you have to rely on the capture of this battle. If you win, you will lose nothing. This battle fought by the artillery of the field army is actually a one-shot deal. , The limited shells were used up all over the place.

As Li Yong thought, our army's artillery fire lasted for about 10 to [-] minutes, and then gradually thinned out. Li Yong knew that this was the end of our army's artillery fire preparations, and it was time for the infantry to start.

When the artillery preparations were about to end, Xiao Li Yong used his walkie-talkie to order the first battalion and the second battalion in the front to attack. Following Li Yong's order, the first battalion of Li Jiangguo and the second battalion of Ma Quanyou from the front position of the independent regiment Each battalion rolled out a few blasters from our army, carrying explosive packs, using various terrain and features to jump forward to the enemy's first blockade line.

The explosive packs bundled by the Independent Regiment in this battle are divided into two types: five kilograms and ten kilograms. The soldiers who rushed out carried smaller five-kg explosive packs, and they did not need to blow up obstacles such as roadblocks and barbed wire. Explosive pack, five kilograms is just right, the weight is too big to affect the degree.

As soon as they protruded more than ten meters away, they were discovered by the enemy's defensive forces, and countless flares were fired from the city wall. A small flare hung in the sky like a small lantern, and the sky was illuminated brightly.The silhouette of the attacking warrior was clearly seen.

The enemy's firepower on the city wall and in the bunker shot at them fiercely. The dense bullets hit the ground around the several blasters, and two soldiers plunged headlong into the ground without getting up.

Li Yong trembled with his left hand holding the binoculars. He saw all this clearly. The first group of blasters from the first battalion and the second battalion of the Independent Regiment were veterans from their respective battalions. What.One of the old fighters.

These people are Li Yong's heartiest and precious eggs. They usually sleep together with Li Yong, march together, fight together, and have nothing to do with their brothers. With his right hand, he thumped the earth wall on the trench and shouted into the walkie-talkie: "First Battalion, Second Battalion, what's going on? Pay attention to fire cover."

The covering fire of the [-]st and [-]nd Battalions opened, and the embrasures of each frontal bunker were blocked with a light machine gun and two rifles.

An infantry battalion of the Independent Regiment is equipped with dozens of light machine guns. It is very effective to use one machine gun and two rifles to shoot at one hole.

The Czech-style light machine gun's three bursts at two-second intervals are very accurate. Before the war, the enemy's perforation was divided into one, one firepower team to deal with one, but the Czech-style magazine capacity is only [-], six or seven bursts It's time to replace the magazine.

When the light machine gun is changing the magazine, it is fired by two rifles. A combat team composed of three people can keep the firepower of the blockade uninterrupted. Three or four combat teams can effectively block the front of a bunker. The firepower coming from the enemy bunker has weakened significantly.

However, the enemy's firepower points on the city wall were not affected. Taking advantage of the geographical advantage, they fired condescendingly at our soldiers. Most of the light firepower of the first and second battalions was used to deal with the enemies in the bunkers.It is difficult for the remaining firepower to suppress the enemy on the city wall.

This is the advantage of cooperation. There are no dead ends in crossfire, and one plus one is greater than two. The 22nd Army of the Kuomintang is indeed very good at defense, and it is not for nothing.

Seeing this, Li Yong immediately used the walkie-talkie to call Gao Xiang, the battalion commander of the artillery battalion, and asked him to use artillery fire to shoot precisely at the firepower points on the city wall.

Following Li Yong's order, Gao Xiang's artillery battalion opened fire. Gao Xiang ordered his soldiers to concentrate their firepower, and a platoon dealt with the enemy.If the firepower is small, only exposed firepower will be cleared at fixed points. The tom-tom sound of the shells ejected from the chamber is constant, and the swarms of mortar shells fly towards the city as if they have eyes.

The mortar shells on the city wall kept exploding, and shrapnel flew around. Some machine guns were blown into the sky, and some people and their guns were pushed to the bottom of the city wall by the explosion.

The pressure on the blasters of the first battalion and the second battalion suddenly eased a lot. A few soldiers quickly rolled over while taking advantage of the enemy's firepower gap, put the explosive package under the Luzhai, and then quickly rolled down again.

Seeing green smoke rising from the short lead, followed by a violent explosion, the enemy's first blockade line was blasted open two big holes in the sound of the explosion.

The smoke from the explosion hadn’t cleared away, and under the cover of our army’s firepower, several soldiers rushed out from the positions of the first battalion and the second battalion respectively. The distance behind Luzhai less than 100 meters was two layers of rolls. barbed wire.

The enemy also discovered this.The soldiers tried to shoot desperately regardless of the firepower of our army. The open space between the deer village and the barbed wire fence had already been cleaned up by the enemies in Yulin, and it was flat.The soldiers had no terrain to hide in, so they had no choice but to charge upwards holding the explosive pack.

In this way, our army's blasters were directly exposed to the enemy's firepower. The artillery fire and machine guns covered by our army continued to shoot, but the Kuomintang soldiers also seemed to be desperate. Killing, but also constantly changing shooters.

The two groups of blasters rushed up by the first battalion and the second battalion fell on the way, and the two battalions sent two groups of blasters, but they still failed. Not only could the blasters not get close to the enemy's barbed wire.Even the corpses of the sacrificed comrades could not be retrieved.

The corpses of the sacrificial soldiers were lying on the ground, shaking uncontrollably from the constant firing of bullets, as if they were still alive. Seeing this situation, the emotions of the soldiers behind gradually lost control.Some yelled to rush up and fight the enemy.

Li Yong ordered the first battalion and the second battalion to stop the attack temporarily, and asked Li Jiangguo and Ma Quanyou to come to the command post immediately. After a while, Li Jiangguo and Ma Quanyou ran along the trenches panting.

On a cold day, Li Jiangguo was covered with sweat. Li Jiangguo wiped the sweat off his face with his hat and said, "Commander, the enemy is going to fight us desperately. It's really hard to deal with.

Ma Quan, the commander of the second battalion, pointed to his formation and said: "Commander, the front of our battalion is very flat, there is no shelter at all, it is a disadvantage to charge hard, and our blasting teams are all on the way.

Li Yong calmed down and said: "There are two ways. One is to bring up the heavy machine gun battalion of our regiment. Wei Wang not only has dozens of heavy machine guns, but also two anti-aircraft machine guns. Anti-aircraft machine guns can also shoot flat. I If you don't believe it, you can't suppress the enemy, but this is our regiment's hole card, and I don't want to use them until the most critical time.

What's the second.The solution is to dig ditches. Didn’t the enemy turn the blockade into open land?Let's do the opposite, dig a few more ditches and put them under the enemy's nose...
