The beacon of youth

Er Yong was observing the battle situation with his binoculars.Of course he knew that sharks and turtles were jackal weapons, but he didn't expect that Yulin, the kuomintang's motley 22nd Army, would have such a weapon. This was a sudden situation that no one had considered before the war.

The flamethrower is a common weapon in later times.A large number of troops have been deployed, but in the Northwest battlefield in [-]s, it was a terrible weapon.Not only did the soldiers not understand it, they hadn't even heard of it.

Li Jiangguo and Ma Quanyou, these two old soldiers, have fought enough battles. They have never experienced any big scenes, but they have never seen this kind of fire-breathing weapon. idea.

This kind of flamethrower shoots a flammable gelatinous liquid, let alone a pontoon made of wood, even stones can be burned, because the oily liquid shot is denser than water and can burn for a period of time on the water surface.At that time, China had no way to imitate this kind of weapon. It is estimated that it was obtained from the Americans, and the quantity was a big deal.

Although these flamethrowers and the soldiers using the flamethrowers have been destroyed by our army's covering firepower, the fire has sealed the pontoon bridge, and the flames are flying and the smoke is billowing. The best way to cross the river is to wait for a while and let the flames Extinguished by itself and then re-bridged.

But now it is on the battlefield, when every second of time is precious, it is definitely not possible to do this. Besides, the independent rib spoon pontoon bridge is used by all the commandos, and it is too late to reorganize and install it.Whether Li Jiangguo and Ma Quan can do anything does not mean that Li Yong has no choice. Li Yong shouted into the walkie-talkie: "Li Jiangguo, Ma Quan, what are you two panicking about? Tell the soldiers to take out the military blankets in their backpacks and wash them with water Get wet and rush over, then jump out of the moat with the army blanket on your back, turn the pontoon bridge over and put out the fire, pay attention to the fact that the water in the moat is more than three meters deep, pick soldiers who can swim.”

Immediately, a dozen soldiers from the first battalion and the second battalion rushed up under the cover of our army's firepower wearing wet army blankets.The light and heavy machine guns and mortars of the Independence Regiment fired at the firepower on the top of the city with all their strength. The soldiers with submachine guns thought the range of submachine guns was short.Hundreds of rifles were transferred from the Lifting Battalion to shoot at the enemies on the city wall, with only one purpose, to cover these soldiers rushing to the county no matter what.

Ma Quanyou and Li Jiangguo each held a light machine gun to personally cover the soldiers' charge. Both of them were veteran soldiers who had been soldiers since they were teenagers. As soon as the head is exposed in the training mouth, it is a burst of shots that blows the head off

The soldiers from the first battalion and the second battalion rushed up, and there were more than 30 soldiers. These soldiers threw away their guns, grenades, and everything that weighed on their bodies. They ran forward desperately wearing wet army blankets, and came to The moat, which was burning with fire, jumped down without hesitation.

Seeing this scene, Li Yong, who came from later generations, was deeply moved. Our soldiers are so good, so good. It is easy to command them with a walkie-talkie, but we have to jump down without hesitation in the face of the burning fire. It's not easy, and it's nothing more than going up the mountain of swords and down into the sea of ​​fire.

What is going through fire and water?This is called going through fire and water! !The new China was bought by our martyrs with their blood and lives. Li Yong had heard this sentence countless times before, and this time he really understood the meaning.

The soldiers who jumped off the moat swam to the bottom of the pontoon bridge with their wet military blankets on their heads. When they got out of the oil-slicked water, the military blankets above their heads also burned. The soldiers threw off the burning military blankets, and everyone She threw herself on the pontoon bridge that was burning with fire.

The pontoon bridge was full of burning oily liquid, and the flames were raging. The soldiers who rushed up felt that the whole world was on fire, and it was very difficult to catch their breath, and their clothes were on fire.The head is on fire, the whole body is on fire, and that doesn't matter.Press down on one side.The other side was lifted up, under the joint efforts of the soldiers.The pontoon was turned over with a plop, and the fire on the pontoon was extinguished in an instant.

Li Yong shouted through the walkie-talkie: "Li Jiangguo and Ma Quanyou immediately send a commando to cross the river and remove those soldiers who jumped over the bridge. They must have been burned."

This is so that without Li Yong's order, the commandos of the first battalion and the second battalion rushed across several floating bridges at the same time as the pontoon bridge was turned over.

The second column of the Northwest Field Army is the main column most capable of fighting, and this battle was given the most important task by the field division, attacking the south of Yulin City.

This is also the main defense area of ​​Yulin. The entire column attacked from three directions at the same time. Li Yong's independent regiment was placed in the middle by the commander, which means that the direction of attack was the south gate of Yulin.

This point was not understood by many people. It is enough for the independent regiment to stand alone and replace a main infantry brigade. How can they be placed in the middle?This position is the key point, can they do it?However, no matter what others say, the commander insists on giving this position to the independent regiment to attack on the column party committee.

Li Yong didn't say anything.I am very aware of the responsibilities on my shoulders... Second, the commander did this out of trust in himself and the independent regiment, and also put all the responsibilities in Yazhou on his shoulders.

The commandos of the first battalion and the second battalion rushed up from the flames through the pontoon bridge and went straight to the south gate of Yulin. At this time, the south gate of Yulin had been blocked by the Kuomintang defenders with sandbags. In his eyes, he took out the sandbag and placed the explosive package under the city gate.By this time it was broad daylight.The roar of aircraft engines came from the sky above Yulin again. The Kuomintang soldiers guarding Yulin were surprised to find that the PLA did not give up the attack this time, and did not stop at dawn. Their bodies kept attacking from all directions.

In a blink of an eye, more than a dozen planes came to the sky above Yulin City, looking at the battlefield below, which had become a mess of porridge, circling high in the sky, these planes did not swoop down to bomb and straf the ground swaggeringly like before, but After hovering in the sky for a while, the bomb was dropped from a high altitude.

In this way, these bombs fluttered in the sky and fell on the ground and exploded. Li Yong looked funny. The old propeller planes during World War II had no horizontal bombing devices and were thrown down at an altitude of several thousand meters. A few bombs can be used as farts.

One of the dozens of bombs was almost dropped on the heads of the Kuomintang soldiers by the plane.The Kuomintang soldiers are so angry. They are too afraid of death. They were frightened by the two planes shot down by the Eighth Route Army. What's the use of flying so high and throwing a few bombs?

In fact, this is not to blame for the pilots of the Kuomintang. These pilots are usually savage characters. Are you a child of the sky? How have you ever seen such fierce ground firepower? The last time two planes were shot down, they were already scared to death. The next time I came to support Yulin, of course safety was the most important thing, and the bomb was dropped and it was over.As for whether Yulin can hold on, what does it have to do with them?

These dozen or so planes threw bombs indiscriminately, and then flew away with flapping wings. The Kuomintang soldiers on the city wall were yelling, but our army's position was full of joy.

At this time Li Jia, the leader of the third communication platoon, ran over to call the headquarters again, and the commander's hearty voice was still on the phone: "Dayong, is your method good? Everyone in the headquarters is praising you, how is the progress of your troops? How far has it been fought?"

Li Yong hurriedly reported to the commander that the commando team had already crossed the moat, and now they were about to blast the city gate.

The walkie-talkie next to Li Yong rang at this moment, and it was Li Jiangguo's loud voice that came from inside: "Leader, more than 150 packs of explosives have been put in, have you seen enough?"

More than 150 large explosive packs are more than 500 kilograms of explosives, which should be enough to blow open the city gate.Li Yong shouted that's all right, let's start.

More than 150 packs of explosives are not a joke. There was no electric detonation system at that time. After the long fuse was lit, the soldiers retreated far away. Anxiously waiting.

Finally, after a night of hard work by the soldiers.After paying a heavy price, a deafening explosion sounded at the south city gate of Yulin. The huge explosion blasted the entire city gate to the sky, and the city gate was blasted open with a width of more than [-] meters. At the big opening, about a company of Kuomintang defenders flew into the sky along with the city gate and stone tiles.

Seeing that the city wall was blown open, Li Yong's heart was pounding with excitement. It really exploded. Maybe everything is possible. Maybe this Yulin City will be opened because of the efforts of the independent group.

Li Yong immediately ordered the trumpeters around him to blow the charge horn. The trumpeters of the independent regiment gathered together, stood in a row with their chests out, and blew the charge horn with all their strength. The passionate sound of the rhythm horn made people feel bloody It's going to be hot.

Li Jiangguo and Ma Quan heard the sound of the trumpet, and knew that it was the commander ordering their commando to charge. They jumped out of the trench and shouted: "Comrades, charge with me, kill me, and charge with a submachine gun." go up.

The soldiers of the first battalion and the second battalion saw the battalion commander rushing up, climbed out of the trench together, shouted and started charging. The battalion first-level unit of the independent regiment has a guard squad, and more than a dozen soldiers from the guard squad watched When their battalion commander rushed up, they were so anxious that they ran desperately around Li Jiangguo and Ma Quanyou, and surrounded their battalion commander with their bodies.

The Kuomintang soldiers on both sides of the enemy's blown-up city wall kept firing sideways at our charging soldiers, and some of the charging soldiers fell down constantly. many
