Chapter 287: The Battle of the West Mansion Only Owes the East Wind

After Li Yong and Wang Chengde finished their tasks, they rushed back to the regiment headquarters to report the situation to the commander. No matter how much they prepared and tossed about, they had to get the approval of their superiors.

After the independent regiment came back, Li Jia led the communication platoon to pull a telephone line directly to the column headquarters, and established a direct telephone connection with the headquarters.

The walkie-talkie is a good thing, it is very convenient to use, but it also has its own disadvantages. From the perspective of confidentiality, it is much worse than the wired telephone. Therefore, the battle decisions of the larger troops at all levels are still communicated through the wired. is also like this.

Originally, it was impossible for troops at the regiment level to establish direct telephone contact with the headquarters. The independent regiment was a bit special because it was a unit directly under the column. It could directly or conditionally draw a line.

On the phone, Li Yong reported his ideas carefully to Commander Wang, and finally said: "Commander, our regiment only took out two battalions to deal with the enemy's artillery and planes, so as not to delay the combat tasks assigned by the headquarters. .”

Commander Wang laughed loudly on the phone: "My boy, I knew it would be dishonest to let you serve as the reserve team. Your plan is very good. There is nothing wrong with wanting to fight. The enemy's planes are making my head worry." It hurts, if you are sure, fight with them, but pay more attention to safety, don't fight foolishly, go boldly, and the political commissar and I are waiting to hear your good news."

Li Yong, who has been affirmed by the commander, is determined in the army. What if the Kuomintang has planes?

At this time, Wei Gang and Gao Xiang, who were out of breath, ran in together: "Regimental Commander, Political Commissar, our two battalions are ready for battle, please ask the regimental commander to check."

Li Yong looked at Wang Chengde: "Let's go, Lao Wang, everyone is ready, we have to go and have a look, and find out what's wrong with them."

Along the way, Gao Xiang introduced that his battalion divided the artillery into three firing positions. Near each position there were large anti-cannon holes specially used to avoid artillery fire. Sheath, just wait for the commander to give an order.

Gao Xiang's introduction made Li Yong a little strange. If the artillery holes of several infantry battalions are ready, can he believe that the artillery is also ready?Cannons and cars are big guys. Even if the cave is small, it can’t be small. Is it so fast?

Seeing Li Yong's expression of disbelief, Gao Xiang said triumphantly: "Head of the regiment, political commissar, who am I, Gao? There are no jokes on the battlefield. Are you sure you dare to say such a thing? We dug the anti-blasting hole overnight. Yes, to be honest with the two chiefs, it exhausted us."

Political commissar Wang Chengde was also a little disbelieving like Li Yong, and seeing Gao Xiang's full words, he said curiously: "Okay, I will go to your artillery camp with the head of the regiment first, but I can warn you first, bragging is a be punished."

"Yes, you have to check carefully, and if there is something wrong, you will be punished, otherwise this person will go to heaven." The person who said this was Wei Gang, the battalion commander of the machine gun battalion who was walking together.

The artillery battalion has made a lot of contributions recently, and it is used throughout every battle. Therefore, after the battle, Gao Xiang will find people everywhere to show off, saying that their battalion is the most powerful main battalion in the whole regiment. Once the artillery battalion arrives, the problem is solved. , No matter how powerful the enemy is, all the other battalions will stand aside.

This is the downside of offending people, Wei Gang is now hoping that the artillery camp will make some mistakes, so that this guy Gao Xiang can be more honest.

During the conversation, several people came to the artillery position, not to mention, Gao Xiang, although he sometimes has a hippie smile and likes to show off, he is really meticulous about his work. The artillery bunker, ammunition depot, and artillery firing position are all in order , the work is really good.

Li Yong said psychologically that this Gao Xiang is really promising, and he is becoming more and more proficient in commanding and fighting, especially the newly dug holes for large anti-aircraft artillery are not far from the firing positions. It's a good idea to go in.

Gao Xiang pointed to a mountain in the distance and told Li Yong and Wang Chengde that their battalion had also set up an air defense observation post on the top of the mountain. The two soldiers brought a walkie-talkie to guard the top of the mountain 24 hours a day, and reported when they saw the shadow of the plane. As long as you can buy a few minutes, you can drag all the cannons away.

This is indeed a good idea. Li Yong asked Gao Xiang to send two more soldiers with an extra walkie-talkie. If there is a problem with one walkie-talkie, he can use the second one to report. on those two fighters.

"Gao, the leader is thoughtful. He can find the problem as soon as he arrives. The leader is wise and powerful. Why don't you think we didn't think of it? Implement it immediately." Gao Xiang said with a shy face.

Gao Xiang's performance made Wei Gang really unable to stand it anymore: "I said, Lao Gao, you can choose a time to flatter your kid, okay? Now there is going to be a war, so you can save yourself."

Wei Gang's phone call made Li Yong, Wang Chengde and the guards who followed him all laugh, only Gao Xiang was thick-skinned and nothing happened.

This guy also yelled at the soldiers around him: "Comrades, our battalion has fought very well recently. The battalion commander Wei is very jealous and always speaks ill of us in front of the regiment leader and political commissar. What do you think we should do? Shouldn't it be repaired?"

Gao Xiang's shout immediately frightened Wei Gang into a wilt: "Okay, Gao Xiang, you're a ruthless boy, can't I be scared? I can't handle Gao Xiang on the one-mother-three-point ground. , the two chiefs also went to my position to have a look."

A group of more than a dozen people turned around Gao Xiang's artillery position and walked from the other direction to the position of the machine gun battalion. The position of the machine gun battalion is also the preset position of the independent regiment, which is the highlight of this plan.

I saw an unknown number of machine gun bunkers scattered around dozens of fake cannons. Wei Gang followed Li Yong and Wang Chengde and introduced:

"Several infantry battalions have mobilized their respective heavy machine gun platoons. There are five heavy machine gun platoons in total, with more than 50 Maxim heavy machine guns, and the machine gun battalion's own fifty-odd anti-aircraft machine guns. A total of more than 100 rapid-fire firepower were concentrated in a not-so-large area. This kind of firepower density had never been seen in the entire Northwest Field Army. After regrouping, a total of more than 100 anti-aircraft bunkers have been prepared."

After inspecting every shooting bunker, Li Yong, Wang Chengde and others walked directly into Wei Gang's battalion command post. Li Yong told Wei Gang that the enemy's planes were the main combat force in this battle, and the machine gun battalion was the main combat force. The battle depends on the performance of their battalion, so he and the political commissar did not leave, and directly commanded the battle at the command post of the machine gun battalion.

After arriving at Wei Gang's battalion command post, Li Yong called the leaders of the more than 20 anti-aircraft fire teams over, and redistributed the airspace covered by the anti-aircraft machine guns. According to Li Yong's vision, ** It is also necessary to concentrate all forces to fight the war of annihilation, and concentrate all forces to strike the enemy head-on.

The independent regiment with all preparations has everything, and it only owes east wind.

It is said that the Kuomintang Peichanghui Corps' crazy attack outside Majiashan lasted for more than two days. Under the oppression of war supervisors at all levels, the soldiers mustered up their courage and attacked the positions of the PLA again and again.

The corpse was covered with blood and water, paving the entire road for the attack. Commander Pei Chang would grit his teeth and shout at his subordinates: "F*ck, is the communist army made of iron? Why can't it be burned to death or beaten? Yours Did the shells hit the air? Tell me why?"

A subordinate replied cautiously: "Report to the commander, our artillery fire is still very accurate. The dust that was shot on the communist army's position was so high that it was sometimes invisible."

Pei Changhui: "Then why can't the communist army be killed? Aren't our shells filled with explosives?"

Junior officer: "Commander, according to my understanding, the communist army is of peasant origin. The communist army of peasant origin has one of its biggest characteristics. They are very good at digging holes when fighting. I think the tactics adopted by the communist army now are ours. They would hide in dug holes during military artillery bombardment, and then come out to meet us after the bombardment, so our army’s artillery fire poses little threat to the communist army.”

Pei Changhui looked at the officer: "Don't just talk and do nothing, is there any specific way to deal with it? As long as we can take down the Communist Army's position this time and get promoted immediately, I will keep my word."

Officer: "Commander, there is a way. The communist army fights desperately, and the soldiers are very tenacious. We cannot compare with this. Therefore, we must use more technical weapons to carry out three-dimensional strikes against the communist army. Offset the tenacity of the communist army."

Pei Changhui: "You mean to use planes and the ground to attack together? We used this method on the first day. Didn't it achieve any effect? ​​Didn't it also be defeated by the Communist army?"

Officer: "Commander, although we didn't achieve any battle results on the first day, we also caused huge casualties to the communist army. According to our intelligence, the artillery holes dug by the communist army are not bad at protecting against artillery shells. It’s not so good, the heavy bombs can blow up their anti-battery holes, so I think we can adopt the combined method of ground and air to destroy the fortifications of the communist army first, as long as they can destroy their fortifications, then We can force the communist army to expose themselves on the surface of the position, at this time we can use artillery fire to kill and injure a large number of their personnel, and finally our soldiers will charge up."

Pei Changhui: "Why didn't you come up with such a good idea earlier? I'll call Commander Hu in Xi'an right away and ask the plane to carry the bomb with the largest yield, and deal with the Communist fortifications first."
