Chapter 371 The Overwhelming Advantage of the Battle of Libei

There is no pop-up window, tens of thousands of book fans are online at the same time, and the phone rings continuously. The command post of the Kuomintang 65th Division received the news that the howitzer regiment was attacked. The division commander Li Zhen couldn't believe his ears, and hurriedly asked the answer. What the hell happened to the officer on the phone.

The officer raised his voice a little: "Reporter, it's a call from the Howitzer Regiment. They have just been attacked by the Communist Army and suffered heavy losses."

Li Zhen, who had shown a very gentlemanly demeanor just now, immediately jumped up like a dog whose tail has been trampled on, walked a few steps to the officer who answered the phone, and asked viciously: "Repeat it again, Li Zhen!" What happened to the artillery regiment?"

No wonder Li Zhen was in a hurry. The Howitzer Regiment is too important to the 65th Division. Without this regiment, the strength of the entire division will drop a lot. The officer replied a little aggrieved: "Senior Division, the phone is still answering." If you are connected, you can talk to them directly."

Li Zhen, who had taken the microphone, turned pale when he heard it. His face, which was red a few minutes ago, turned livid. Then he threw the microphone to the ground and shouted at the subordinates in the room: "You know, the howitzer regiment is over. The howitzer regiment is over, it was destroyed by artillery fire from the Communist Army Tuba Road, didn’t you all say that the Communist Army has no artillery, what’s going on? Give me an explanation.”

The officers in the room stared wide-eyed, cursing inwardly: When did we say that the communist army had no artillery fire, and we reminded you to be careful of the eight-way artillery, isn’t it you, the division commander, himself? Did you say it? Why did it depend on us again.

However, the first-level officials crushed people to death. Although there was grievance in their hearts, these officers could only obediently bow their heads and be reprimanded. The entire howitzer regiment is the main firepower strike unit of the 65th Division, and there are ten 150mm caliber guns in it. The German-made howitzer, is that the end?Was wiped out by the Communist Army, Tuba Road, which he had always looked down upon?Li Zhen was so distressed that he almost gritted his teeth.

The artillery strikes from the independent brigade boosted the morale of the soldiers on the front line. The shells flying over their heads must have been fired by their own artillery. Said: "See, the artillery of our brigade is not a vegetarian. That kid Gao Xiang is very powerful. In my estimation, these artillery shells must be for the artillery of the Kuomintang. When the enemy's artillery is dealt with, it will be the turn of the army." Their infantry is gone, let's just wait and see the excitement, the good show is yet to come, listen to me."

The old soldier had fought many battles, and his experience on the battlefield was really strong, and his senses were very keen. This veteran inadvertently guessed the thoughts of Li Yong, the brigade commander, and tried to find a way to deal with the artillery first, and then deal with the infantry.

After 5 minutes of preparation time, it was time to talk. Gao Xiang gathered all the cannons of the battalion, plus a few baby bumps from the teaching brigade. The number of cannons was close to [-]. There were more than [-] cannons. It's not the rifles and grenades in the hands of the soldiers. Such a scale is already a scary number in a brigade-level unit, especially in the Northwest Field Army, which is known for its poverty.

The battlefield is in a state of intense heat, and the sky is completely dark. Judging from this posture, both sides have not had dinner yet, and have no time or thought to eat. The 160th brigade is still attacking desperately. The tanks cannot be withdrawn even if they are gone. The soldiers know that, The brigade commander led the supervising team in the last attack echelon. These guys in the supervising team can do anything regardless of whether you are one of them. As long as the brigade commander farts, they will dare to shoot.

Huang Zhiyu, the brigade commander of the 160th brigade, also went all out. Wearing a steel helmet and holding a submachine gun in his hand, he shouted and directed the battle behind the attacking troops. This guy wanted to fight again before it was completely dark. If you fight, you may be able to break through the Communist Army's position, and you will be able to sit in the position of division commander.

The ones in front fell down and the ones behind went up, and the piles of corpses were also piled up, and the entire 160 brigade was bet on it. Wave after wave of attacks, at this moment only heard the sound coming from the sky There was a muffled thunder-like bang, and countless bright spots with fiery red tails dragged arcing ballistic trajectories, smashing towards the surprised eyes of the Kuomintang soldiers.

Damn it, it’s not like it’s dark and it’s raining, it’s an anti-personnel grenade specially designed to attack infantry. It’s a large-caliber anti-explosive bomb. There are hundreds of rounds in one attack wave. After several consecutive shots, they all hit the ground. In the charging infantry group.

Immediately, the entire battlefield was like a boiling pot, with wolves crying and screaming, blood flying everywhere, and the firepower of the independent brigade had an overwhelming advantage after the artillery of the Kuomintang 65th Division was wiped out.

This kid Gao Xiang used all his skills, and led an artillery command team to a small hill not too far from the forward position, commanding the battle from a high position.

The brigade commander Li Yong asked Gao Xiang to choose his own targets. How to fight is a matter for your artillery battalion. The brigade headquarters will not interfere. At the beginning of the meter, the attacking Kuomintang infantry group was bombarded back and forth.

The Kuomintang army fell into a strange state when the sky was about to be completely dark. The soldiers walked passively like a flock of driven sheep. There were so many dead that their nerves were almost numb.

Gao Xiang, who was put on his shoulders by brigade commander Li Yong, was thinking nervously about how to give the most powerful support to the frontline troops.

The five infantry battalions of the Independent Brigade used all kinds of weapons in their hands to shoot violently at the crowd of Huang Huhu and Hei Yaya who charged up. The charging Kuomintang soldiers were knocked down row by row, but what surprised the soldiers was that this attack The soldiers of the Kuomintang army appeared extremely tenacious. Instead of fleeing because of the heavy casualties, they used various obstacles to hold on.

The dense rain of bullets from the Independent Brigade was very clear on the completely darkened position. The bullets weaved a dark red net of death at the front of the position. Any living object that entered this net would be torn to pieces.

Just when the soldiers felt strangely that the Kuomintang's offensive troops were extremely tenacious, the artillery battalion of the Independent Brigade opened fire. The violent explosion blew up a wall of fire 200 meters away from the first trench, which was composed of explosives and shrapnel. The wall of fire, fragments, broken corpses, stones, trees, and bombed weapons were thrown up to a height of more than ten or twenty meters.

The Artillery Battalion of the Independent Brigade has grown into an ace firepower strike unit in the Northwest Field Army after a series of battles. Courageous, Gao Xiang and his artillery met the brigade commander Li Yong's initial requirements for establishing an artillery unit, and they were already well-known heroic units in the independent brigade, second column and even the field army.

The explosion point of the artillery shells is only more than 200 meters away from the nearest forward position. This distance was unimaginable before, and no one in the Eighth Route Army dared to do this. At a distance of more than 200 meters, artillery shells were used to fight back against the officers and soldiers of the 160th Brigade charging.

Starting from more than 200 meters, the artillery shells extended backward one after another, hitting the charging infantry, hitting the second and third echelons behind, hitting the Kuomintang headquarters and the supervisory team. The brave people's artillery displayed unprecedented power. Half the sky is red.

The soldiers who were lucky enough to get out of the artillery fire of the People's Liberation Army faced the firepower net of the infantry. The soldiers of the independent brigade usually practice hard work within 200 meters. Become the best living target.

Why is it a living target?Because these people have more or less flames or sparks on their bodies. If they can get out of the artillery fire and still not die, there may be no sparks on their bodies, but it is very obvious at night when the sky is completely dark.

The soldiers laughed when they saw these dizzy Kuomintang soldiers, including those soldiers from the teaching brigade who had run out of ammunition, and wanted to break through the positions of our People's Liberation Army just based on this ghostly appearance?The heavy machine guns on the ground stopped firing, and the shooters were all very interested in watching the performance of the Czech light machine gun and the [-]-type rifle.

The sparse Kuomintang soldiers did not need to block it with heavy machine guns, and submachine guns more than 200 meters away were out of reach. A large number of Czech-style light machine guns equipped with troops would come into play, and the sound of three bursts of "tat-tat-tat" spread throughout the entire position.

The position of the Fourth Battalion of the Independent Brigade was even more interesting. Not only did the heavy machine guns stop firing, but even the Czech light machine guns stopped firing. The main weapon on the position was the [-]-type rifle.

Ning Jinshan, the commander of the Fourth Battalion, is the first shooter of the Independent Brigade. Because of his habits, the soldiers of his battalion are the most accurate in shooting among the nine battalions of the Independent Brigade. The soldiers are also accustomed to shooting like their battalion commander. In addition to being equipped with a submachine gun, the fourth battalion is equipped with the most [-]-type rifles among all combat battalions, with hundreds of rifles.

Li Yong, the brigade commander, didn't care about these things. The battalion commanders could do whatever they wanted, as long as the battle was well fought, and thanks to the fact that they had a car to travel during the march, otherwise, just two weapons and ammunition would be enough for the soldiers to carry.

But tiredness also has its benefits. The submachine guns of that era were incomparable with the current automatic rifles. The accuracy and range were far worse. At a distance of about 200 meters, submachine guns were not very useful, while [-]-type rifles were just right. Make up for the lack of long-range firepower.

The shooting sound of 'pop, pop, snap, snap' sounded one after another, and it was hard to get out of the artillery fire. The soldiers of the 160th Brigade, who still had sparks on their bodies, fell to the ground one after another amidst the gunshots, with their heads down. Face down, mouth mud.
