The beacon of youth

Chapter 269 The Emotional Ma Changsheng in the Battle of Xifu

The artillery of the independent regiment really wiped out the heavy artillery battalion of the 82nd Division within half an hour, which surprised some commanders of the teaching brigade. (Apex Fiction hand-written novel)

I used to hear that the independent regiment of the second column is very powerful, but I didn't expect their artillery to be so fierce. It would be great if the artillery of our sixth column could fire so accurately.

Commander Luo Yuanfa of the Sixth Column also liked to pull good things around. After fighting Yulin, he once snatched the artillery from the Independence Regiment. The cannon was snatched back, and the shells were also there, but the artillery was not easy to deal with.

The troops of the People's Liberation Army have never lacked good fighters. There are many who dare to hold up explosives at critical times. However, the artillery is different from the infantry. The infantry only has a gun and a few grenades in their hands. Equipment is the leading factor, and people are just operators or components of a complex weapon system, and it is far more complicated to accurately hit the shell on the target than infantry shooting.

Li Yong looked at the watch on his wrist, fortunately, the stipulated half an hour was not exceeded, Gao Xiang did a good job.

The soldiers on the teaching brigade's position were full of joy. The soldiers who had been bombed for a long time jumped out of the anti-gun holes and shouted: "***, this time I know what the three eyes of Lord Ma are, and I will kill you all!" Damn, our People’s Liberation Army also has artillery, and it’s even more powerful than your Ma’s Army.”

Brigadier Chen Haihan in the command post patted Li Yong on the shoulder: "Commander Li, your artillery is really good. They have been educated. They are amazing and they did a good job. I will look for them after this battle is over. The head of the headquarters gives them credit."

There is nothing wrong with what Brigadier Chen Haihan said, and it is also a good word, but there is one person who is unwilling, or unhappy, who is it?The one in the independent regiment has the most temper, the one who is usually the least talkative, and the one who tends to get a little emotional lately, Ma Changsheng, the commander of the third battalion.

Ma Changsheng is depressed, what is this called? The battle has just begun, and it’s not going well. Please be accurate.

They have done meritorious service in fighting Yulin, they have also made meritorious service in attacking Yichuan, they have made meritorious service in attacking Fufeng and Qishan, and this time they helped the old 2nd regiment fight assaults. Let them do it all, and let others live. Not to mention, this kid Gao Xiang is not as beautiful as a donkey, turning a few somersaults on the ground a few times?

This guy Gao Xiang has been fighting against him recently. The more people there are, the more he talks about himself. Although the artillery battalion has done a good job and fought well in the past few battles, this guy Gao Xiang is too arrogant, no way , This big battle has to give a bigger credit for everything, so that the kid Gao Xiang is speechless.

However, no matter how Ma Changsheng had an opinion, he did not dare to say anything in front of the heads of the brother troops. Brigadier Chen Haihan of the Sixth Column was also a well-known commander in the entire field army, and he was very prestigious among the soldiers.

Ma Changsheng, who couldn't bear it any longer, had no choice but to remind in a rough voice: "Commanders, the enemy's cavalry will start to charge in a while. Should our battalions go over now?"

Brigadier Chen Haihan looked at Ma Changsheng happily and said: "Don't worry, although the enemy's cavalry is very powerful, our people are not tofu. You can take a rest before crossing in time."

Ma Changsheng answered Brigadier Chen with a straight chest: "Report to the commander, we are marching by car, and we are not tired at all. We can execute any order immediately."

Li Yong was puzzled. Li Jiangguo, who is usually very talkative, has not said a word until now, while Ma Changsheng, the commander of the third battalion who is usually the least talkative, has said a lot.

Li Jiangguo stabbed Li Yong quietly with his hand, and said in a low voice while others were not paying attention: "Head, Ma Changsheng is stimulated. He can't bear to see Gao Xiang and the others make great achievements. You see, he is anxious. Now Whoever prevents them from camping will have to do his best."

Li Yong felt a little interesting when he thought of Ma Changsheng's performance these days. This guy was really in a hurry. He didn't get any great credit for a few battles, and the third battalion commander couldn't speak hard enough.

"Brigade Commander Chen, let them go up with a few battalions. The third battalion commander is right. We are all marching by car, and our physical strength is fine."

Seeing what Li Yong said, Brigadier Chen Haihan nodded, and allocated the three infantry battalions of Li Jiangguo, Ma Quanyou, and Ma Changsheng to his three infantry regiments. The head of the regiment has the final say, and the brigade does not interfere, as long as the task can be completed.

Let's just talk about the third battalion. Ma Changsheng happily brought his battalion's men, horses and weapons and equipment to the position he wanted to support.

In recent battles, the Third Battalion suffered the smallest losses among all the battalion-level combat units of the Independent Regiment. In the battle of Yichuan, it was the reserve team, and they did not do much to fight against Qishan and Fufeng County. In the battle of Yichuan, the third battalion, which was the reserve team of the regiment, suffered even less losses than the supply battalion.

In the current independent regiment, several infantry battalions have not had time to replenish. The prisoners are training, and a large number of wounded such as Wang Huo are still in the hospital. For example, the first battalion of Li Jiangguo has only 300 people, although compared with other troops, 300 people A battalion of ours is enough, but some of the weapons seized by the independent regiment cannot be fully equipped. No matter how advanced the equipment is, it must be operated by people. Without people, everything is empty talk.

But this problem does not exist in the third battalion. The third battalion can have more than 450 people. Now it is the battalion with the largest number of people in the independent regiment, and it is also the infantry battalion with the strongest combat effectiveness.

Battalion Commander Ma Changsheng has been very busy since he captured Baoji. He led his soldiers to search for weapons and equipment everywhere, and they used them when they saw good ones. No matter if there were brothers or not, they would go for cheap ones. Anyway, it was a day Hu busy at night, but not in vain. Is there a saying that says that the early bird gets the worm, and Sanying has indeed done a lot of good things.

Later, Li Yong, the head of the regiment, equipped each battalion with mortars and heavy machine guns replaced by the artillery battalion and machine gun battalion. More than ten heavy machine guns and mortars were mounted.

After taking down Baoji this time, the Independence Regiment seized an ammunition depot of the Kuomintang, which contained dozens of anti-aircraft machine guns. In order to strengthen the air defense force of the troops, Li Yong, the head of the regiment, distributed these treasures to the battalions early on. .

The other battalions are very happy to see these babies, but they feel that the manpower is very tight. Only the third battalion has no such problems. How can it not be relaxed?

In the regiment command post at the forefront, Ma Changsheng met the head of the infantry regiment, who was so happy to see Ma Changsheng and his soldiers that he slapped his thighs: "Great, comrades came too timely, I guess The Green Horse Army is about to attack."

Ma Changsheng said in a loud voice: "Commander, now is not the time to be polite, you set aside a defensive area for our battalion, and I will arrange it immediately."

Commander: "Captain Ma, what is the scope? It's too late to draw the scope temporarily. Your battalion will be our regiment's reserve team. If the reserve team doesn't like to be a commando, your battalion will be under your command. , if you can’t stand it, just go there, what do you think of my arrangement like this?”

Qingma Army, reorganized No.80 Second Division Headquarters, Division Commander Ma Jiyuan jumped into a rage, pointed at an officer's nose and shouted: "What the hell did you do? A heavy artillery battalion was wiped out by the Communist Army in a few minutes. We The 82nd Division is just such an artillery battalion, and the twenty-odd cannons were given to us by Generalissimo Jiang for the sake of the old chief, so tell me how you want me to go back and explain.”

No one dared to say anything when Ma Jiyuan got angry. After a while, Ma Quanyi, the deputy division commander, came over: "Jiyuan, don't get angry, all the troops below are ready, now is not the time to lose your temper. Although the artillery battalion has been wiped out, they have blown up the Communist Army's positions enough. As long as we win this battle, everything will be easy to handle. It shouldn't be a problem to ask the Ministry of Defense for a few cannons. I will tell the old commander. "

Ma Quanyi is a relatively experienced commander. He knows that it is best to launch an attack as soon as possible at this time, so as not to leave time for the PLA to recover its position.

Ma Jiyuan had to give face to his uncle if he didn't give face to others, and what Ma Quanyi said was also very reasonable. Losing his temper at this time is not what a wise commander should do.

"Pass my order, the whole division will be divided into three attack echelons with the brigade as the unit, and each echelon will open a certain distance to launch a deadly attack on the positions of the communist army and charge."

The 82nd Division has three brigades and nine regiments. It is a full-staffed reorganized division. Including the team directly under the division headquarters, there are more than 2 people, and these 2 people are different from other troops. They are all cavalry, and the charging formation of more than 2 cavalry is much larger than that of [-] infantry.

The hoofs of more than 2 war horses knocked on the ground, making a rumbling sound like rolling thunder, and more than 2 sabers shone coldly.

The overwhelming cavalry rushed over the mountains and plains like a flood that opened the gate. The shouts of the soldiers were louder and louder. The cavalry of the Qinghai Majia Army brought out their strongest lineup, ready to break through the defense line of the teaching brigade in one fell swoop, encircling the Northwest Field Army .

The scene of the charge of the 82nd Division of the Qingma Army of the Kuomintang is too big, so big that it makes people feel scared, and those who have no courage may not even be able to hold a gun.

But their opponent, the teaching brigade of the Sixth Column of the Northwest Field Army of the Chinese People's Liberation Army, is not frightened. In Yulin and in Yichuan, this army terrified his opponents.
