The beacon of youth

Chapter 324

Gao Xiang commanded the artillery fire of the second column to shoot at full force, and after a few rounds, the Kuomintang artillery in Yan'an City was beaten to silence. This made He Wending, the commander of the No. The officers yelled that the ** artillery was rubbish.book friends whole~reason~provide

The officer thought a little unconvinced, it's not because you, the commander, are too cowardly, what did you do when the communist army besieged Liu Kan?The strength of the three divisions only dispatched one brigade to the rescue. Hmph, I'm still a classmate. If I fight hard with the Communist Army, I won't be trapped inside and can't get out or get in. Now I know that calling soldiers is trash. Do you know you regret it?Neither are you.

But these words can only be thought about, and he said in his mouth: "Master, the communist army is shooting at us from all directions, the artillery fire is extremely powerful, and the number of artillery is more than ours. We really can't handle it. "

He Wending heaved a long sigh when he heard the officer's report: "In just over a year, the communist army was able to suppress us and fight. The speed at which the army pulls the team is too frightening, too frightening."

Regardless of how surprised He Wending was in his headquarters, the Northwest Field Army's attack did not stop because it was about to dawn. The attacks of several main columns became more and more fierce. The intention of the main attacking column leader was obvious. During the dark period of time, we will fight harder, even if we can't take Yan'an, we will fight street battles with the enemy. As long as the troops of the two armies are mixed together, the Kuomintang's air force will have no way to bomb, and there is no way. For air support, if only the infantry and the People's Liberation Army fight in close combat and street fighting, there is no suspense. Either surrender or be wiped out.

There are more than 120 artillery pieces in the second column in the south of the city, the main force is the American 1 grenade, there can be more than 5 pieces, and the rest are more than 80 mountain artillery pieces and field artillery pieces. Several small-caliber artillery pieces were pushed to the front line.

Twenty minutes later, Gao Xiang's artillery fire extended backwards, and several signal flares were shot out from behind the position, hanging high in the sky. In the darkness before dawn, several red signal flares looked extremely dazzling.

With the rise of the signal flare, the trembling bugle sounded on the position of the People's Liberation Army. The three main brigades of the second column attacked again in the south of the city. Gunshots, cannons, shouts, grenades The explosion of explosives and explosives turned the entire attack area into a hell of death.

While the artillery fire was extending backwards, the dozens of ting anti-aircraft machine guns of Wei Gang on Laoshan began to cover the section that the independent regiment was going to attack with firepower like a storm. The sound of machine gun fire is terrifying.

All large-caliber machine gun bullets are several times more lethal than ordinary infantry light weapons. Any part of a person's body will be knocked out if they are just a little bit close, and the injured person will basically confess. The casualties caused were scary and shocking. Li Yong told Wei Gang, don't worry about the accuracy of the shooting, there is no way to aim at such a long distance, just use your anti-aircraft machine gun to shoot at the enemy's position.

At the moment when the anti-aircraft machine guns fired, the attack of the independent regiment began. Each infantry battalion began to charge with a commando. This commando was an infantry platoon in the infantry combat battalion. 80 people (the team directly under the regiment headquarters is not counted, there are not so many people in the platoon units of the three companies of the regiment headquarters).

At this time, we can see the importance of tactical coordination. First, use Gao Xiang's artillery fire to prepare for the enemy's firepower, and then use the anti-aircraft machine gun to suppress the enemy. , Every link is almost not good, and it is almost necessary to use the lives of the soldiers to make up for it. This is what the leader Li Yong often said during training, and the soldiers also faithfully implemented the requirements of their leader.

The commando team should be the infantry platoon with the strongest combat effectiveness in each battalion. The soldiers form an attack team line, with every three people forming a combat group, covering each other and moving forward alternately.

The charge of the Independent Regiment was different from other troops. When attacking a solidly fortified position, it did not blindly charge hard, but used the unique tactical actions of the Independent Regiment at that time.

Three people form a combat team, and two combat teams form a tactical team. When attacking, the first team will attack, and the second team will cover and follow up. Each team's attack distance is about ten meters.

First look for favorable terrain, and after rushing out more than ten meters, the first group lies down to cover. At this time, the second group starts to charge. Lie down, and then the first group will stand up and attack, and go round and round alternately. This tactical action may be slower than the blindly hard charge, but it can minimize the casualties of the soldiers.

This kind of attack method, the independent regiment has done countless times during normal training, so at this time the soldiers' movements are very proficient, attack cover, cover attack, neatly, without any sloppy movements, only the entire attack area appears Shooting countless small arrows, jumping forward to break through.

The unique tactical actions of the independent regiment also inspired the commanders of the fifth brigade who were watching the battle. These commanders chatted and said: "The independent regiment not only looks at the cow, but also has its own set of rules when fighting. , a tactical attack like this is done very well.”

Brigadier Guo Peng Guo, who was standing with Li Yong, also patted Li Yong's shoulder with great emotion: "Commander Li, is there a way? Send a few people over after the battle, and use your method as well." Teach us, teach us, we have agreed in advance, you are not allowed to hide it."

Li Yong laughed: "Don't worry, as long as you want to learn, we can send people over at any time to teach you anything, but you have to teach us some of your good methods, and we can learn from each other and improve together."

Li Yong did not think that everything in the independent regiment was the best. The advantages he possessed were some modern tactical ideas and the trajectory of the previous historical development. The fashionable saying is "more forward-looking than others for decades." and insight”, and the grasp of timing and the use of tactics on the battlefield are far worse than those of these older generation commanders. This is not modesty, but a fact.

To give a small example, a student who has been in a military academy for more than ten years and an old soldier who has fought for more than ten years are in a PK on the battlefield. He probably doesn’t even know how he died. The reason is very simple. Life and death Things honed over time are much more reliable than books.

In a blink of an eye, the commando rushed out more than 100 meters. At this time, several armored cars appeared from the positions of the five infantry battalions. It came in handy.

The War of Liberation lasted until [-], and the Second Column of the Northwest Field Army did not have any armored vehicles or tank-like weapons. The modified vehicles of the Independent Regiment were reluctant to do so. Although they were not very strong, they were still better than nothing. , No matter how you can block bullets or something.

There were more than 40 cars like this in the entire independent regiment, and all of them were driven out at this time. Each car was fired with one or two tings of Maxim heavy machine guns. Dozens of tings of heavy machine guns used bullet rain to open the way and cover the The troops behind the car rushed up.

What amazed the cadres and soldiers of the fifth brigade watching the battle was that what followed the car was not a brigade of infantry, but an artillery unit surrounded by infantry, and each car was followed by a team of soldiers The artillery that is desperately pushing forward.

Let the artillery participate in the charge, which is really unexpected, but today the independent regiment did just that, and the artillery rushed up behind.

In fact, the entire tactical action of the Independent Regiment is to first use curved howitzers to prepare firepower, clean up the attacked area as much as possible, and then conduct tentative attacks by small groups of commandos. The task of these small groups of commandos is not Fight the enemy recklessly, but expose the remaining firepower of the defenders.

If the enemy's firepower point is not violent, use these commandos to rush over and attack closely. If it is violent, use the artillery behind the commando team covered by armored vehicles to directly strike, and after all the enemy's firepower points are cleared, the large troops will start. The final attack, this is a complete set of tactical actions of the independent regiment.

So what is the most important thing in fighting?The most important thing is to gain the initiative in the war. As it is now, the Kuomintang defenders will not be able to escape the fate of being wiped out no matter how hard they struggle in the face of the rushing commando.

At this time, most of the strongholds and fortifications on the positions of the Kuomintang defenders were blown up by the shells of the storm, and those who were lucky enough to be alive were also stunned by the artillery fire of the People's Liberation Army.

The Kuomintang soldiers staggered as if they had been drunk, and looked like an officer looking out of the cracks in the rocks. In a blink of an eye, this guy yelled like a pig: "Get up, everyone! Get up, the communist army is coming, the communist army is coming."

Under the yelling and threats of the officers, the mimi confused soldiers reluctantly put their weapons on the trench and fired, but before they fired a few bullets, they heard a shell coming with a shrill scream. , and then there was a loud "boom", and these soldiers and officers flew into the sky together.

Similar scenes were constantly being staged in the entire attack area of ​​the independent regiment. The commando made a tentative attack, and as long as there was a firepower point, Lulu was killed by a shell, and the troops continued to move forward.
