The beacon of youth

The shooting sound of "tower, tower, tower" sounded in the empty morning, and the battle started suddenly. Due to the nature of the troops, Zhang Jinsong's reconnaissance battalion was not equipped with mortars and heavy equipment like other main battalions. The infantry with machine guns has heavy firepower, and the main weapons of the reconnaissance battalion are the submachine guns and shell guns on the soldiers' backs, plus a large number of grenades ["Crazy" gets more chapters]

In order to counterattack the more than 1000 cavalrymen of the Majia Army who were chasing up, catch big fish, and complete the tasks assigned by the superiors, the cruel battalion commander Zhang Jinsong and his two or three hundred soldiers can rely on these weapons.

Although the accuracy of the Tommy type is not very good, the continuity of firepower is still very good. In addition, the carriage and horse are in high motion and bumps, so there is no need for any kind of accuracy, and the aiming can't be aimed. The cavalry brigade who are chasing up from behind can just shoot, what is needed is the density of firepower, and shoot according to the feeling.

The submachine guns in the hands of two or three hundred soldiers spewed out tongues of flame at the same time. These soldiers did not feel panicked because of the large number of enemies chasing them. shoot

The bullets splashed over like a gust of wind, seeing blood holes popping up on the bodies of these soldiers and war horses, blood spurting out from these blood holes, shining a strange and dazzling red in the morning sun, rushing The soldiers and horses at the front were knocked down the moment the gunfire sounded

It is difficult for the cavalry to stop charging. Life and death are already decided during the sprint. There are more than 1000 horses and soldiers, which seem to be several times more than the soldiers of the reconnaissance battalion. The scene of the charge is also very shocking, but the saber is always cold. Weapons, compete with the hot weapons fired by the company, if you can't charge up, you will die if you can't exert their power

Zhang Jinsong and the soldiers pulled the triggers of the submachine guns vigorously, weaving bullets into a firepower net. The density of the bullets determines the size of the mesh. The soldiers and horses who rushed up from the 258th Division of the Majia Army fell into the hot pot in this death net. Falling to the ground like dumplings

Come up one by one and knock down one by one, come up to kill a group, pick the one who is in the front, and the one who runs the fastest will attack, turning the range of about 100 meters into a dead zone and no man's land. The soldiers shouted while fighting: "Don't be afraid!" If you die, charge, see if your sabers are stronger, or Lao Tzu's bullets are stronger."

Most of the soldiers of the Ma family army are veterans for many years. They have dealt with war horses all the year round. Under the intensive firepower of hundreds of submachine guns, it seemed insignificant. No matter how many tricks there were, it still didn't work. The horses and soldiers who were hit were superimposed, howling and rolling, and then gradually disappeared.

The tactics of the cavalry of the 258th Division were very effective against the Red Army more than ten years ago. At that time, the Red Army’s weapons were extremely backward, ammunition was scarce, and the shooting was very slow. Some troops were killed by the cavalry before a few shots. Rushed into the defensive circle, and once the cavalry got close, the nightmare of the infantry came. With the power of the horse, people have the advantage of height, and it is easy to cause heavy losses to the infantry.

But it is obviously different now. A Tommy-style firepower is enough to shoot one or two squads of old-fashioned rifles. Faced with such firepower, I still want to follow the old method, like dealing with the Red Army and the West Route Army. It's stupid to group charge to open up the opponent's defenses

The best way to deal with the cavalry is powerful firepower, and they will be wiped out during the charge. Although the reconnaissance battalion is very effective, it consumes ammunition very quickly. Well, the soldiers didn't even have time to load the bullets in the magazines. They emptied one and threw it aside, pulled out one and then fired again. Fortunately, the soldiers in the ** brigade all had multiple magazines full of bullets, and there were It is a good habit to carry more ammunition. The amount of ammunition carried by an individual soldier is more than [-] rounds, which is not counting the number of bullets for the shell gun

The so-called good habits are also forced out of poverty and fear. In the past, there were not many bullets on the body during the war. The grenade was also made in the border area that was blown in half. It is not very powerful. Even if you throw a grenade under the enemy's feet, it may not be able to blow up Death, so every time the gunshots rang out in a war, I felt mentally empty and uneasy. Now that it’s all right, the ammunition can be supplied openly. Who doesn’t want to recite more

The ** brigade was formed, and there were very few old soldiers. It is said that in the reconnaissance battalion, except for the battalion commander and instructors, few of these soldiers were from the old eighth road, and they did not suffer from the lack of ammunition, but the army has traditions. Yes, the role models for the soldiers of the reconnaissance battalion are of course their battalion commander Zhang Jinsong and instructors, two veterans from the Eighth Route Army.

The tradition of an army may remain unchanged for decades, so these soldiers, like Zhang Jinsong and their instructors, carry as much ammunition as possible every time they perform a mission, fearing that there will be times when they will not be enough, but this time they are still alive. That's right, the cavalry of Ma's army were knocked down in pieces before the dense rain of bullets, and the dead bodies laid a layer of dead bodies on the way to charge.

After each soldier changed a few magazines, the cavalry charging frantically was contained. The number of deaths that exceeded psychological expectations made these soldiers from Qinghai terrified. No one dared to charge with their sabers high. The soldier on horseback yanked the reins in his hand, turned the horse's head and ran back, the master gave a lot of rewards, but he had to be killed to get them, the dead would not enjoy oceans and gold bars

More than 1000 cavalry charged, but were beaten back head-on by [-] to [-] soldiers of the People's Liberation Army. Ma Desheng, who had been watching with binoculars behind him, cursed angrily: "Idiot, waste!"

Just as he was grinning and cursing, the officer leading the charge came back on horseback. He didn't know whether he was tired or frightened. The guy's face was gray and his hat had a hole pierced. He came to Ma Desheng. He gasped and shouted: "Master, the communist army's firepower is too fierce, brothers can't charge up, I have killed hundreds of brothers!"

The irritable Ma Desheng took out his pistol and pointed it at the officer: "A regiment of men and horses can't deal with two or three hundred Communist militiamen who are begging for food. What use do you have? I will kill you."

An officer beside Ma Desheng grabbed his arm in a hurry, and then winked at the officer running back. The defeated officer ran away trembling.

The officer holding Ma Desheng's arm said anxiously: "Brother, you can't do it. Kill the generals before the battle, ominously, the Communist army is not the militia, nor is it the Communist army who fought against us a few days ago. This group of people must be An elite force in the Northwest Communist Army"

After being told by the officer, Ma Desheng's anger subsided a little, he put away his pistol and asked, "Why is it the elite force of the Communist Army?"

"Brother, if you take a closer look, you will know. Although there are not many soldiers in the communist army, the weapons in their hands are all submachine guns with extremely powerful firepower. So many automatic weapons will not appear in the militia. Most of the military and militiamen still carry old sleeves and made in Hanyang”

Ma Desheng's yellow eyes rolled, he forgot about it just now because he was angry, but now that he thinks about it, it's really true. He breathed a sigh of relief: "Even if what you said is correct, it would be too embarrassing for so many of us to be run away by hundreds of communist soldiers. Is that the way to go?"

"Brother, of course we can't just leave it like this. Although the communist army's weapons are very good, there are too few people after all. With such a small number of people, they want to take the food away? There is no door."

Ma Desheng: "What do you think we should do?"

"Brother, the opportunity is very good. Don't look at the fierce firepower of the communist army, but they don't have many people. As long as we attack the communist army with the whole division, use the center to contain them, and outflank the two wings to deal with this communist army, we can disperse their firepower. , as soon as the firepower of the communist army is dispersed, we can rush forward, and then strive to wipe out this group of communist troops at one time, and then withdraw immediately to prevent the large forces of the communist army from retaliating."

Ma Desheng: "Is it necessary to mobilize the entire army to deal with two or three hundred communist troops? It's not easy to hear if others find out."

"Brother, don't look at the small number of communist soldiers. If we win this battle, we will be victorious. It's up to you to decide how many communist troops will be wiped out at that time. The elimination of two hundred and two thousand is just a game on paper. You You can report as much as you want, who can come here to check carefully?"

The officer's persuasion made Ma Desheng nod frequently: "Good brother, I will do as you say, order, the whole division will attack, and destroy the communist army that is besieging the food. Brothers, follow me, go!"

After giving the order, Ma Desheng stepped on the horse, took a few horses with him, and rushed out with the cavalry

As for Ma Desheng, although his temper is a little grumpy, he is still very capable of fighting. He dares to charge with the soldiers at critical moments. This is not seen in the regular army of the Kuomintang. How many commanders at the division level are capable? charged with troops

Black horses, yellow horses, colored horses, all kinds of war horses and their masters launched a charge, six or seven thousand war horses trampled on the ground, and cavalry all over the mountains and plains rolled over like dark clouds

The 258th Division is putting all their eggs in one basket. They want to use the method of fierce tigers to fight rabbits to wipe out this transport team with only a few hundred PLA soldiers in one fell swoop. While robbing food, it can also boost morale

The second son of Changning in a row had fought many battles, and his courage was getting bigger and bigger. While shooting with the submachine gun in his hand, this kid reported to Zhang Jinsong: "Battle Commander, the grandsons of the Ma family army are all here, look at it, Hei Yaya!" not to the edge"

The action of Ning Erzi made Zhang Jin feel relieved and wanted to curse: "Second son, quickly withdraw for me, hurry up, hurry up"
