The beacon of youth

Chapter 300: Beheading in the Battle of Xifu

After touching the independent regiment near the headquarters of the Kuomintang Fifth Corps, there was no delay, and the attack was launched immediately by taking advantage of the darkness of the night. (Apex Fiction hand-written novel)

The old fox-like commander Pei Changhui ignored the PLA's attack. He calmly believed that it would be difficult for a small army without heavy weapons to pose a threat to his solidly fortified headquarters.

A subordinate replied cautiously: "Commander, according to my humble observations, this attack by the communist army is a bit different from the previous ones."

Pei Changhui looked back at him with great interest: "What's the difference, tell me."

"Commander, the communist army always pays attention to surprise and victory in wars. This time, it is not quite right to attack us from one direction. Is it a fraud?"

Pei Changhui: "How could it be one direction? Listening to the gunshots, didn't they attack us from three directions at the same time?"

"Commander, the attack is from three directions, but only one direction is real. The Communist Army's actions in the other two directions are just to contain our troops and firepower."

Pei Changhui: "Tell me your opinion."

"Beizhi believes that the true intentions of the communist army have not been fully exposed so far. Their attacks from the front and both sides are likely to be a cover to cover their real purpose."

Pei Changhui: "According to you, the pressure exerted by the Communist Army on us is also false?"

"It is very likely that this is the case. You also said just now that the attacking troops of the communist army only have some rifles and submachine guns, and a small amount of Czechs and hand grenades. According to the information we have, although there are not many attacking communist troops , but there are not many, and there is a regiment with the smallest number of people. Does a regiment-level force not even have a heavy machine gun and mortar? Therefore, Beizhi believes that the main attack direction of the Communist Army will not be the sides, nor the front, but It is the rear position that has been quiet all the time, and the pressure the Communist Army has been exerting on us from the front is just to mobilize our sight and strength."

Pei Changhui looked at this subordinate with approval: "He is very intelligent, and he is very pertinent in analyzing the problem. You should inform the regiment leader Zhang, tell him your thoughts, and ask him to pay more attention to the rear position. The regiment reserve team should not Use it easily, and then send a telegram to the neighboring troops to let them speed up and try to encircle this small group of communist troops after dawn."

As if to verify the correctness of the junior officer's judgment, before he could walk out of the headquarters, fierce gunshots and grenade explosions suddenly erupted from behind the KMT Corps headquarters, mixed with An unknown number of heavy machine guns and mortars were fired.

Pei Changhui laughed loudly: "My good fellow, you really guessed it right. It seems that the attack direction chosen by the communist army is indeed in the position around the back mountain. Inform Commander Zhang and ask him to transfer the reserve team over. If the troops couldn't stand it, they pulled it up and told the brothers that if they persist until dawn, they will be victorious."

The regiment responsible for the attack in the rear mountain by the fourth column pushed up all three infantry battalions from the very beginning. The regiment commander understood the current environment of the troops and wanted to destroy the enemy's command post quickly. But entanglement with the enemy will be bad. Once the enemy's reinforcements arrive, they may not be able to withdraw even if they want to.

In order to allow this regiment to put more pressure on the enemy, the independent regiment did not spend less effort. Li Yong told the battalion commander Lao Sun of the supply camp that as long as the regiment lacks ammunition, it can be replenished. Don't be petty. , Their combat effectiveness has improved, which is also good for us.

Li Yong was thinking too much about this point. Sun Quanhou, the Battalion Battalion Commander from the old Eighth Road, had a much higher level of thought than the regiment commander. If it wasn't because he didn't dare to make decisions privately, he would have already supplemented it. Naturally, if the regiment leader had something to say, he didn't say anything, so the regiment had plenty of ammunition.

Attack, attack, continuous attack, light and heavy machine guns plus small cannons, and five kilograms of explosive packs outside, dull explosions sounded one after another, and the battle in the back mountain had just started for about an hour, and the Kuomintang defense troops on the mountain used the phone to and walkie-talkies and other communication tools to shout for support.

Hearing the call for reinforcements from the Kuomintang's back hill position coming from the walkie-talkie, Li Yong happily said to Wang Chengde and others: "The people in the fourth column have done a good job. I told them to keep the intensity of the attack. We have to hold on for another half an hour, we must let the enemy transfer their reserve team over, and ask them what else they need for our support."

The two troops were fighting in the depths of the enemy's large corps, and there was no way to connect the telephone lines to each other. The walkie-talkie was afraid of leaking the content of the call, so they used the most primitive and reliable communicators to transmit the situation. Fortunately, the two troops The distance of the troops is not too far, and the speed is not too late.

The commander of the fourth column said to the personnel of the independent regiment who came to inquire: "Go back and tell you Commander Li, please rest assured that we will definitely drag the enemy's reserve team over. As long as your independent regiment fails, it will be regarded as fighting the whole regiment." We won’t withdraw even if we don’t.”

The correspondent repeated the words of the head of the regiment to Li Yong. Li Yong, who was deeply touched, felt that he still underestimated the fighting will and determination of the old troops of that era. The old troops of the PLA are admirable. Time can pull up and resist.

The continuous battle went on for about half an hour, and it was a little past two o'clock in the morning. The anxious Li Yong finally waited for the news he had been looking forward to.

Thanks to the efforts of a regiment of the fourth column, the reserve team of the enemy's defense force was mobilized to the positions around the back mountain to participate in the battle. This judgment can be confirmed from the enemy's call on the walkie-talkie and the news sent back by the comrades of the fourth column. correct.

Li Yong knew that it was time for him to make up his mind. The enemy regiment headquarters was still more than an hour away from the nearest unit according to the schedule. What the independent regiment had to do was to fight a Time difference, hit fast and withdraw quickly, and leave after the fight.

"Weigang, your battalion will open fire immediately, and the covering troops will rush forward. We must suppress the enemy's firepower and start."

Before Li Yong could put down the microphone of the walkie-talkie in his hand, the sound of anti-aircraft machine gun salvos suddenly came from the surrounding positions.

The firepower of more than fifty large-caliber anti-aircraft machine guns filled the night sky like fire dragons. The 12.7mm anti-aircraft machine gun bullets brought the independent regiment's firepower points, launch bunkers, and soldiers along the offensive line The bunkers that suffered a lot of casualties were filled with white smoke.

The rapid-fire large-caliber machine gun shells peeled off the outer walls of various defense facilities layer by layer, and within a few minutes, several firepower points were knocked down, including the low ground block.

Wei Gang ordered the troops to point two anti-aircraft machine guns at a bunker and shoot non-stop. The top cover of the bunker was lifted when more than [-] long shots were shot out (there is no reinforced concrete, only ordinary materials are used, and the anti-aircraft fire How long can it stand under the attack of machine guns), and then the small artillery shells from the infantry battalion smashed over and killed the people inside.

Maxim, mortars, and large-caliber anti-aircraft machine guns worked together, and the offensive firepower of the independent regiment increased several times. The defending Kuomintang troops could no longer hold on, and retreated in a hurry. Taking this opportunity, Ma Changsheng and He Cuihua rushed forward with the soldiers, and blew up some stubborn strongholds with the small pack of explosives in her hand, and the troops rushed in.

The calm Pei Changhui couldn't sit still any longer, and a junior officer ran in with sweat on his head: "Report to the commander, something is wrong, the communist army has already attacked, let's go."

Pei Changhui turned around and grabbed the officer who predicted that the main force of the People's Liberation Army would be in the back mountain position and shouted: "***, didn't you say that the main force of the Communist Army's small unit is in the back mountain area? What's going on? Called in, do you want me to be a prisoner of the communist army? You belong to the communist party, and I will shoot you."

An officer held Pei Changhui who was in a rage and tried to persuade him, "Commander, it's useless to shoot him. The communist army is very close to us. If you don't leave, it will be too late. Let's go."

Pei Changhui: "Where is Commander Zhang, and how did he become the commander of the guard regiment? Go to Commander Zhang and ask him to send troops to block the Communist army."

The lower-ranking officer replied: "Commander, when the communist army broke through just now, Commander Zhang only had the strength of a platoon of guards in his hands. He took the platoon with him in less than ten minutes and it was exhausted. According to the reports of the brothers, Zhang The commander is dead."

Gritting his teeth, Pei Changhui circled around like an old wolf: "The communist army is too hateful and cunning. It is the most difficult enemy in the world. I will never end with them."

Under the half-pushing and half-fighting of several guards, no matter how unwilling he was, the commander-in-chief Pei Changhui fled out in a hurry, and the entire headquarters fell into chaos.

Headquarters, of course they are all uncle-level figures, except for the outer guard regiment, the combat quality of the personnel inside is pitifully low, and they are trembling with guns in their hands. How can such personnel resist like wolves and tigers? The independent regiment was completely defeated after ten minutes.

Li Yong was very happy, and kept shouting on the walkie-talkie: "Attention all troops, no matter who they are, no matter how old they are, as long as they are stubborn, they will be killed, and all good things will be snatched. Be careful not to damage the radio station." , that is a precious treasure."

Hearing Li Yong's order on the walkie-talkie, Wang Chengde, the political commissar, shook his head helplessly. This brave man used the walkie-talkie to directly ask the soldiers to grab things. I have never seen a regiment leader commanding a battle like this before.

But no matter whether he, the political commissar, is willing or not, the soldiers are very willing. The commander is right, the headquarters, there must be a lot of good things in it.
