The beacon of youth

There is a trick to shoot like this to Wang Huo. The soldiers call it fighting guns. They don’t need to aim, but shoot according to their feeling. They just shoot when they stretch out the gun. This kind of skill is the most effective against moving targets. Of course, it is not a long-term training. The old fighters in China cannot master this kind of skill.

The soldiers around looked at their battalion commander in surprise. They didn't expect this battalion commander, who usually doesn't talk much, to shoot so hard. Wang Huo dropped the [-]-style, picked up a submachine gun, and took a few The correspondent ran forward along the trench.

Five minutes after Wang Huo's fifth battalion started, the second-line guard Gang's machine gun battalion also opened fire. The fire was all over the sky, reflecting the black crowd. After four days of defense at the fork, I have never seen the Kuomintang soldiers at the foot of the mountain so crazy. Pass.

The reorganized No. 20 Ninth Army set up cover firepower behind the attacking soldiers and fired desperately. The guns swished past their ears and hit the edge of the trench behind them with a crash. The soldiers of the Fifth Battalion Fall to the ground, and immediately don't fill the vacant position with the soldiers behind.

All the weapons fired together, and the grenades were dropped like raindrops, but it was useless. The tenacity of the Kuomintang charge soldiers was amazing. Those in front fell down like scarecrows, while those behind were still afraid. Charge after charge, the weapons in his hands kept shooting while charging, and the casualties of the fifth battalion in the front were increasing, and Wang Huo felt unprecedented pressure.

Li Yong, the head of the regiment, also saw the danger faced by the Fifth Battalion, but he still didn't want to use up all the reserves in his hand, and ordered Gao Xiang's artillery battalion not to be stingy with artillery, and to prepare artillery fire for the forward positions.

"Lie down," as the battalion commander Wang Huhu shouted, the soldiers bent down and lay down in the trench together. Gao Xiang's artillery battalion began to suppress and shoot at the front. This time it was different from the past. The cannon exploded at a distance of about 20 meters from the front.

This is a distance where even a grenade can be easily thrown. The artillery fire at such a short distance is to kill the charging soldiers of the enemy to the maximum extent and provide the most direct support to Wang Huo's Fifth Battalion. The thick gunpowder smoke is suffocating. Battalion fired two quick shots in succession, then stopped.

The artillery fire is very accurate. After a few days of fighting, the various shootings have already been marked. The mortars of various elements seem to have eyes, and they have also brought great damage to the enemy. But there is one thing, the artillery of the artillery battalion Not much more, each cannon had only twenty rounds, and after firing two bursts of five rounds in a row, now there were only about ten rounds left for each small cannon.Gao Xiang didn't dare to fight any more, and he had to ask the head of the regiment for the remaining guns. [

As soon as the artillery fire of our army stopped, the Kuomintang soldiers who were not killed raised their heads and charged upwards with their guns. Standing up as a cover to cover the attack, the casualties of the fifth battalion continued to increase. The battle had just been fought for more than an hour, and the two platoons of the reserve team that Wang Huo had kept in his hands and was unwilling to use also joined the battle.

One shock wave of the Kuomintang at the foot of the mountain was knocked down and another shock wave immediately came up again, repeatedly attacking the frontline positions of the independent regiment in turn.

Wei Gang’s machine gun battalion used heavy machine gun firepower to blockade the front 50 meters away in order to relieve the pressure on Wang Huo. Put it down in pieces.

After two hours, the cooling water of the Maxim heavy machine guns of the second-line Wei Gang Machine Gun Battalion was drained, and the water in the kettle was also used up. Just when the soldiers were a little confused about what to do, it was still Wei Gang, an old soldier. There is a way, he told the soldiers not to worry about draining the water, peeing into the gun will work just as well.

Although urinating is also useful, it is not an easy thing to urinate in the fierce battle. The soldiers joked with each other that whoever can urinate the fastest at this time will give him credit after the battle.

As soon as the battle started, Hu Xiaolian's health team went to the front line, and all the wounded and sacrificed soldiers had to be carried down. The stretchers were too obstructive in the winding trenches, so they had to be carried down one by one.

Don't look at the girls in the health team who are usually laughing and laughing, but they don't see how strong they are. During training, they always cry and cry, but they are really good at critical moments. A little girl can carry a hundred A man weighing ten catties ran fast in the trenches, and the wounded and sacrificed soldiers still had unfinished punches and grenades on their bodies, so the actual weight on their backs was greater than the weight of the soldiers.

The head of health, Hu Xiaolian, was the same as her team members, rushing upwards with the pistol on her head. Whether it was dead or alive, she rushed up and carried one on her back and then ran back. She couldn't feel the pistol whizzing over her head. The girls only had one. Think hard, do everything possible to grab the wounded, don't delay the rescue time, memorizing it one minute earlier may save one more life.

He Cuihua, the deputy battalion commander of the supply battalion, has not been back for a long time. After participating in the battle, he has been marching non-stop for several days. There is very little time to close his eyes. The battalion commander Sun Quanhou was put in charge of distributing various materials in the battalion, and he led the team to deliver medicine to the front.

The two women were busy back and forth on the battlefield of Zi and Pianquanfei. The harsh environment might make them sacrifice and be injured at any time, but no one of the two women thought about it, and the two female soldiers of the People's Liberation Army really didn't Taking life and death seriously, time is very tight, and I try to speak as few words as possible.

Compared to He Cuihua and Hu Xiaolian, the communication platoon leader Li Jiasu is very safe. Several radio stations are arranged in the most hidden cave, and the health team is outside.

There were more and more wounded, and the figures of He Cuihua and Hu Xiaolian became more and more busy. The temperature was around minus ten degrees, but the two women used their hats to wipe the sweat off their heads from time to time.

Looking at the figures of the two men busy, Li Jia felt very emotional. The Eighth Route Army is different from the Kuomintang. Even women work so hard in battle, and they are afraid of rushing into battle.

The head of the regiment Li Yong and the political commissar Wang Chengde kept asking the front about the fighting situation, and they kept asking Li Yuming to send people to the front to check the situation.

At about five o'clock in the morning, Wang Huo's position was tight again. At this time, Gao Xiang's battalion had run out of cannons. They really had to hang them up when the bell struck. Gao Xiang asked the soldiers to move the small cannons in, and then all Replaced with infantry light weapons, ready to support Wang Hu's fifth battalion at any time. [

Li Yong nervously calculated the strength of the troops in his hand, so he had to immediately send troops to reinforce Wang Huhu. The second battalion commander Ma Quanyou, the third battalion commander Ma Changsheng, and the artillery battalion commander Gao Xiang who had fired all their guns.

Ning Jinshan, the commander of the Fourth Battalion, was already on the battlefield, and standing in front of Li Yong and Wang Chengde was the instructor of the Fourth Battalion.

Li Yong glanced at a few people: "Don't worry, it's not so easy for the enemy to break through our position, go to the fourth battalion and two platoons, and set off immediately."

The artillery fire at the bottom of the mountain was also constantly bombarding the positions of the independent regiment on the mountain during the soldiers' charge. If there were too many people in the positions, it would be easy to be massacred by the enemy's artillery fire.

Li Yong now has the second, third, and fourth battalions and the Gaoxiang Artillery Battalion that have been fired, as well as the two guard platoons of the regiment headquarters' guard company.

Among these troops, it is obviously inappropriate to send Gao Xiang's artillery battalion to the front line. Most of the fighters led by the fourth battalion commander Ning Jinshan to fight guerrillas on the mountain are from their fourth battalion, so the personnel of the fourth battalion are uneven. Li Yong's idea was to use the fourth battalion with uneven personnel to support Wang Huo, and leave two complete infantry battalions in his hands as a reserve team just in case.

After the soldiers from the two infantry platoons of the fourth battalion arrived, Wang Huo felt a little relieved. The most taboo thing for a commander on the battlefield is that the soldiers in his hands can be adjusted. With two platoons of soldiers, he and the instructor can each hold One, it can provide support to places where the front line is tight at any time.

The Kuomintang troops at the foot of the mountain also made up their minds. Under the cover of machine guns and artillery fire, they charged wave after wave, and continued fierce fighting until it was almost six o'clock in the morning, and the sky was a little bright.

At daybreak, you can see very far, and both sides can see the situation on the battlefield clearly, and the Kuomintang officers at the foot of the mountain also understand. As in the past, it was able to knock down the attacking soldiers, and many soldiers of the national army were waiting on the mountainside for the next attack.

Since you can't go on, it means that the eight roads on the mountain have reached the end of the mountain, and if you work harder, you may be able to rush out.

The Kuomintang officers who led the attack became even more crazy. Fortunately, after several days of continuous fighting, coupled with the efforts of soldiers from the two battalions Zhang Jinsong and Li Jiangguo, the artillery group of the Kuomintang frontline positions finally finished firing their cannons, and the large-caliber guns were gone. With the threat of artillery, the pressure on the soldiers of the independent regiment on the mountain can be somewhat relieved.

But just like that, after more than an hour, the front position was a little tight again. Wang Huo and his instructor used all the two platoons of the fourth battalion that came up to support them.

The bodies of the wounded and sacrificed soldiers were carried down continuously by the health team and the supply battalion. Ma Quanyou, the commander of the second battalion, and Ma Changsheng, the commander of the third battalion, suggested that Wang Huo's fifth battalion should be replaced by one of their two infantry battalions.

Political commissar Wang Chengde also looked at Li Yong with a questioning look, and Li Yong said to several people: "It is impossible to change defenses. When the position is tight, changing troops will give the enemy an opportunity to take advantage of, and then send a platoon to the tiger." go up."

What Li Yong adopted was the usual method used by our army in positional defensive warfare, deploying less and more garrisoning, and adding fuel gradually, so that he could always keep a reserve team in hand just in case. v! ~!
