The beacon of youth

"Zhan Shi of the reconnaissance battalion at night used grenades to attack the people! The [-]th and [-]th Army launched heavy attacks, and the sound of explosions continued one after another. Shooting will immediately reveal your position. Slamming a grenade makes it difficult to tell from which direction the grenade was thrown in the dark. It is recommended to increase the throwing distance by smashing the grenade down from the hillside.

The sound of grenade explosions continued around the entire artillery regiment headquarters, and several large tents were blown up to the sky by the first wave of grenade attacks.It is estimated that the head of the enemy's artillery regiment and his female orderlies were also bombed back to grandma's house.

Seeing the Kuomintang soldiers running around, Zhang Jinsong ordered the troops not to love fighting, and moved quickly to the vicinity of the artillery positions. The command post was still several hundred meters away from the artillery positions. Destroying the enemy's command post was only the first step. Blowing up the artillery Only by dropping can these cannons not be able to unleash their power.

Zhang Jinsong led a small platoon of soldiers and the battalion guard squad to the artillery position quietly. Before they went there, another squad was sent to shoot randomly from another direction. All the regiment soldiers were attracted to them, so as to create an opportunity for Zhang Jinsong and the others to strike.

A few minutes later, there was the sound of violent submachine gun fire from another direction, and occasionally the sound of grenade explosions. Zhang Jinsong knew that it was the soldiers of a squad sent out to start the fire, and the attention of the soldiers on the enemy's position had already been attracted. The past is over, and the opportunity to do it yourself has come.

In the second half of the night, the moonlight was bright, and the figures of the soldiers fell under the moonlight. The boss, Zhang Jinsong, like his soldiers, rushed up with a grenade. The soldiers of the security squad could not hold him back, so they had to surround him and talk to him. They rushed up together.

The soldiers who rushed up formed a battle group of three and spread them out. They kept working with submachine guns and grenades, and greeted people when they saw people. Close combat and night combat are the strengths of scouts. Just like opening a pot.

The soldiers touched the front of the howitzer with the gun barrel raised high on the position, and bundled grenades every two, pulled the fuse and threw them into the barrel of the gun. After a few seconds, the explosion sounded throughout the position.It would be a pity that all these cannons were blown up, and it would be great if they could save some.

The platoon led by Zhang Jinsong is the platoon of Ning Erzi, and it is also the platoon with the strongest combat effectiveness in the entire reconnaissance battalion. Seeing the artillery being blown up one after another, Ning Erzi felt a little distressed. Ning Erzi turned his head and ran to Zhang Jinsong. Shouted: "Battalion Commander, it's a pity to blow up all the cannons, can you keep a few?"

Zhang Jinsong stared and said: "Nonsense, if these cannons are not blown up, our regiment will probably die a lot more people. What a pity is not a pity. Hurry up and blow them all up. There can't be one left."

The second son Ning followed Zhang Jinsong and kept saying, "Battle Commander, there is a way to stop him from firing without blowing it up. Can't we just remove the parts from the cannon?"

Zhang Jinsong: "Is it enough to disassemble it? What if it is repaired? Can it be fired again? Don't bother. Hurry up and blow it up, or it will be too late."

Erzi Ning said a little bit unwillingly: "Battle Commander, let's take a few more off his cannon. Even if they repair the parts, they may not be able to fix them. Besides, let's make the shells go off again. What do you think?"

Zhang Jinsong actually felt distressed when the cannon was blown up, but there was no other way, what else could be done if the cannon was not blown up, these big guys couldn’t move away, and after listening to Erzi Ning’s vernacular, he thought it made sense, so he took a few of the cannon off.Parts, and then detonate the cannonball, the cannon can't be fired, this is a good way.

Zhang Jinsong: "Okay, let's leave a few doors, you hurry up and get out in 10 minutes.

There is only a small platoon around Zhang Jinsong, and the guard squad is only 70 to [-] people. It is okay to beat him violently when he is not aware of it, but it will be dangerous after a long time. "

After receiving the order, Ning Erzi took his men to remove the parts from the remaining cannons vigorously, and removed a few parts from each cannon" and asked the soldiers to run away with their backs, and then put a bundle of grenades a little farther away. Underneath the cannon ball box, fasten the fire ring with a long rope.

After finishing all this, Erzi Ning ran to Zhang Jinsong breathlessly: "Battle Commander, it's all over, hurry up and retreat!"

When the soldiers all retreated, Erzi Ning slammed the fire ring of the grenade, and saw a mushroom cloud suddenly rise from the place where Shan Zhan put the shells.Then there was a violent explosion.

The effect of the martyrdom of the stacked shells was terrible. The position was surrounded by thick smoke and fire in an instant, and the sound of the explosion made people's heads buzzing, and nothing could be heard in the ears for more than ten seconds. , It took a while to slow down.

From time to time, a shell was blown out from the pile of shells. This shell "exploded, and Zhang Jinsong took the opportunity to take the ten soldiers to hurry down." .

The retreating soldiers ran for a while, and Zhang Jinsong hurriedly gathered his troops to check the casualties after running for a few miles. The situation was not bad. What an effective counterattack.This position is full of artillery, and there are no infantry light weapons, and they are no match for scouts in close combat. Therefore, although there are many people, they did not bring any major casualties to Zhang Jinsong and the others. There were only a dozen casualties among the more than 70 people. It is still appropriate to exchange a dozen casualties for a howitzer position, and this casualty is within Zhang Jinsong's tolerance.

Zhang Jinsong and Ning Erzi led the soldiers to the pre-arranged assembly point. Along the way, they had to meet the soldiers of the other platoons. The whole battalion did not gather until dawn.

Some of the other platoons acted alone, and some of them acted together. Anyway, they were not idle all night. The destroyed artillery could not be counted. The whole battalion suffered more than 20 casualties, and more than [-] sacrificed. .

More than 20 people were sacrificed in one night's operation. Zhang Jinsong felt very uncomfortable, but there was no other way. If he didn't go all out to destroy the enemy's artillery positions, the casualties in the regiment's main position would be much greater. The decision of the regiment leader and the political commissar was correct. of.

Zhang Jinsong asked the health workers to treat the wounded as soon as possible. Fortunately, the family background of the independent regiment was strong enough. Before the reconnaissance camp went out, they also considered what to do if they encountered casualties. They carried a lot of medicines and brought two health workers who could perform minor operations. At that time, the injury was not too serious and he could basically survive.

After looking at the wounded soldiers, Zhang Jinsong called all the cadres above the squad for a brief meeting. Zhang Jinsong, who is usually joking, said in a low voice: "Comrades, I just took a look at the casualties of our battalion. In this night's operation, the entire battalion suffered more than 20 casualties, more than 50 people were sacrificed, and there were more than [-] casualties in one night's operation. The loss is not only the loss, but we have to continue."

"The battle in the main position of the regiment has already started. Everyone has heard the sound of shells exploding. I don't need to tell you. Everyone knows that these shells were fired by the enemy's cannons. Before we left, our regiment leader told me that we can't wait until the critical moment. The cannons on the ground will not fire, and what we hear is the sound of the enemy's artillery covering the position, so I decided to rest during the day and continue to act at night. pressure."

Ning Erzi stood in front of the soldiers in their platoon: "Battle Commander, don't worry, we can bear no matter how heavy the casualties are. If you are a soldier, don't be afraid of sacrifice."

At the same time that Zhang Jinsong's reconnaissance battalion launched an attack, Li Jiangguo's first battalion also began to harass the enemy in the dark.

It was just dark at night, Li Jiangguo and the soldiers ate some dry food and quietly walked out of a big ditch with twists and turns. If you say that this northern Shaanxi is really a good place for guerrilla warfare, there are ditches everywhere, and the sky is huge. The mechanized troops were also unable to use it. Li Jiangguo led his first battalion and pushed northward. The soldiers sent out during the day detected an enemy heavy-lifting regiment seven or eight miles away from them.

When Li Jiangguo heard that, he was overjoyed at the time. It is good to lift heavy troops. There are few combat troops, a lot of supplies, and loose defense. It is different. Although it is also called a regiment, there are not many people, and most of them are old, weak, sick and disabled. If such a troop is sent to him in the dark, he will definitely be able to mess it up. Li Jiangguo is very confident Take this fight.

The reconnaissance platoon of the marching camp searched 300 meters ahead. Although it was only seven or eight miles away, it felt very far away when walking at night, and it took an hour to reach the place.

Just as Li Jiangguo was leading his troops to continue walking, suddenly a person rushed over from the side path, rolling and crawling. This guy recklessly broke into the middle of the marching team of the first battalion. Jumping and shouting: "Hey, hello, are you from the guard company? Who is the company commander?"

It was very dark, and the soldiers of the reconnaissance platoon, who were scrambling around, didn't find this person. The soldiers of the security squad hurriedly surrounded Li Jiangguo and the instructor.

The soldiers were taken aback by the sudden appearance of the guy. The squad leader of the security squad was very annoyed that so many people were ran to the battalion commander. It's dangerous, what does I, the squad leader of the security guard, do for a living?The squad leader walked over and wanted to do something to this guy's face, "Damn, where are you going? Just put eye drops on me."
