The beacon of youth

Chapter 428 Suspected Soldiers

Wang Qingshan, the reconnaissance staff officer of the [-]st Division who went out to perform missions with the soldiers, bragged with a dozen scouts to survey the mountains while walking. The reconnaissance staff officer of this division can indeed control the four reconnaissance companies of the whole division. There is a little truth in saying that he is better than the company commander and battalion commander. reason.

A dozen soldiers had been walking for nearly an hour while talking. According to the footsteps of the scouts, it should be more than ten miles away. Just when everyone was talking about it, one soldier suddenly stopped: "Staff Wang, listen, what is this sound?"

Several soldiers stopped talking immediately, Wang Qingshan pricked up his ears and listened. After a few seconds, the young old scout's expression changed drastically. Listen carefully on the ground.

This is the skill of the old scout. With his own experience, he can use this method to roughly judge the size and speed of troops in the army. Of course, it will not work if it is too far away. The vibration and sound from his ears made Wang Qingshan feel something.

Wang Qingshan got up from the ground, and in a few steps, he rushed to a small soil bag only tens of meters away from them. When watching from a distance, they all sucked in a breath of cold air.

I saw Hei Yaya rushing down from the mountain ridge in the distance. I don’t know how many cavalry, there is no end to see. What Wang Qingshan heard was the sound of horseshoes trampling the ground.

The power of the cavalry lies in their extremely fast speed. The cavalry who rushed over in this short period of time got closer to where they were. At this time, they could clearly hear the ground without lying on the ground. There was a rumbling vibration.

The eyes of the scouts are very good, a dozen soldiers can see from a distance that the cavalry is wearing the yellow uniform of the Kuomintang army, no need to ask, it must be the cavalry brigade of the Kuomintang Majia Army.

This is the first time the soldiers have seen the scene of a large cavalry charge. In the past, the troops fought against infantry in North China. They have not competed with the cavalry before. The scene of the cavalry charge is really shocking. The soldiers momentarily Not knowing what to do, they all looked at Wang Qingshan, the reconnaissance staff officer who led the team.

Wang Qingshan felt a rush of blood rushing to his forehead, and the thoughts in his head were running at a high speed, what should we do?The sudden situation put the dozen or so scouts and the main force of the [-]st Division behind them in danger.

Wang Qingshan is the reconnaissance staff officer of the division, and his understanding and knowledge of the situation is far beyond that of ordinary soldiers. Because he is often with the division chief, he is very clear about the situation that the [-]st Division will face. The division has to face the combined superior force of the Kuomintang Ma Jiajun and Hu Zongnan's Central Army. The main force of the division has just arrived in Xianyang. Because of the long-distance march of more than ten days, the soldiers' physical strength has not yet fully recovered. Now they are building positions. The consequences of a head-on charge by superior cavalry are unimaginable.

what to do?How can we resolve the immediate crisis, Wang Qingshan's head will explode, and go back to deliver the letter?But war horses with two legs that can't run with four legs may have arrived before they could go back.

Wang Qingshan's head turned countless times in a short period of time, and Wang Qingshan, who finally made up his mind, decided to let a soldier go back to deliver the letter. He and the remaining ten soldiers were responsible for holding back the cavalry of the Ma family army and buying time for the main force. .

This is actually a suicidal decision. How useful can a dozen people be in front of the enemy's army?It may be completely submerged by a charge of the enemy cavalry. This decision means that the dozen or so of them have no possibility of going back.

"Comrades, the main force of our division has just entered the position for less than an hour. Everyone knows that if we want to fight against the cavalry, we must have complete fortifications to rely on, otherwise our infantry division will suffer a lot. Try to hold back the enemy as much as possible here, and buy time for the main force of the division to build fortifications, even if it can hold off for a minute, it would be good, what do you think?"

Scouts are clever guys. They are very clear about the consequences of doing so. As a scouting team without combat missions, there is another option. They can find a place to hide. The target of a team of more than a dozen people Small, as long as you find a place to hide yourself, your safety is fine, and it is not a violation of principles. The reconnaissance team has no mission to fight the enemy, and the chief will not blame it afterwards, and the result of choosing to fight the enemy is also very clear. There were only twelve of them, and one of them had to go back to deliver a message, and there were tens of thousands of enemies. Once they opened fire, they would have no chance of surviving. This was a choice between life and death.

Eleven soldiers stood in front of Wang Qingshan in a row. Their faces were very calm, and they couldn't see the tension and anxiety that they were about to sacrifice their lives. An older soldier said, "Staff Wang, that's it!" Do it, for our teacher, to defend Xianyang, go all out."

Being able to remain unmoved between life and death, choosing death over life at critical moments, not many people and troops can make such a decision, this is the brilliance of the PLA's ideological work.

Wang Qingshan nodded, then pointed to the youngest soldier and said, "Go back and report the situation to the chief as quickly as possible, and go quickly."

The little soldier's tears flowed down, he knew that once he got back, he would never see these comrades who ate and slept with him, performed missions together, and shared life and death with him: "Consultant Wang—me."

"What's the dawdling? If you dawdle any longer, you won't be able to go if you want to, and we'll die in vain, understand? Hurry up and go."

The little soldier wiped away his tears and ran down without turning his head. Wang Qingshan's voice came faintly from his ears: "Tell the chief, tell the comrades, we have not disgraced our division or our PLA."

At this moment, the enemy cavalry was getting closer, Wang Qingshan shouted calmly: "Check the weapons and equipment, prepare to fight."

Including Wang Qingshan, there were a total of eleven fighters. When the 82th Division, the vanguard of the [-]nd Army of the Kuomintang, approached Xiaotubao, the fire broke out. The coming cavalry surrounded a large area at once.

The soldiers all used submachine guns with automatic weapons. Even though there were only eleven of them, the firepower was very fierce. Coupled with the reckless and violent shooting, they blocked the cavalry rushing forward at once, and the cavalry in the front circled around. He turned a corner and ran back from both sides with a swish.

An officer rode his horse and ran to the commander of the [-]th Division: "Report to the commander, the communist army's blocking position has been found ahead, and there are dozens of brothers left."

The division commander glared: "Nonsense, here is still some distance from Xianyang, what kind of communist army's blocking position is there? Come with me to see."

In the telescope of the commander of the Majiajun, the figures of a dozen soldiers were clearly revealed. After watching for a few minutes, the commander muttered: "What the hell is the People's Liberation Army doing? It can't be Here is an ambush position prepared for us?"

The commander of the [-]th Division really can't understand what the People's Liberation Army is doing. What's the use of such a small isolated position here?Could it be that these eight-way soldiers are all dead-hearted and foolish? The troops who put their hands on it have already run away. Who can put them here to fight to the death?Bad, this is not going to be a communist bait tactic.

Wang Qingshan's reconnaissance team also inadvertently acted as a suspicious force against the Majiajun cavalry. The division commander who led the team suspected that there might be a large number of People's Liberation Army ambushing soldiers and had doubts.

The cavalry of the brigade were knocked down dozens of times by the soldiers and then ran back. They haven't rushed up until now. Wang Qingshan and the soldiers don't understand this kind of thing, but whether they understand it or not, they always take the enemy It is a good thing to be able to block it, regardless of what these enemies think.

The commander of the [-]th Division put down the binoculars in his hand and shouted to an officer, "Send a company to charge and see how the communist army responds."

There were about 100 cavalrymen in a cavalry company, and they rushed out with sabers roaring. This is a typical Majia army style of play, a tentative attack before they understand the situation.

When the cavalry rushed to less than 100 meters from the squad, the soldiers opened fire again. The targets of the cavalry and horses were too big, and the soldiers didn't have to aim. They pulled the trigger on the crowd and the horses and swiped. One by one, the horses were knocked off, and the horses that had been shot also thumped and fell to the ground.

After Wang Qingshan and the ten soldiers each fired out two or three magazines, the cavalry that charged up were repulsed again.

The officer leading the charge ran up to the division commander: "Master, the communist army doesn't have many people, but the firepower is fierce, and the brothers have lost dozens."

The cavalry of the Majiajun had never been in contact with the North China troops of the People's Liberation Army before. They couldn't figure out why the People's Liberation Army was fighting hard here. Maybe there was a large army of the Communist Army waiting for them. Be careful, be careful.

The teacher's eyeballs kept rolling back and forth, shit, what does it mean that the communist army only put a dozen people here? : "Come on, go up to two companies, rush up from both sides, I don't believe that the Communist Army can't respond at all."

The commander of the [-]th Division wanted to use continuous attacks to reveal the true intentions of the People's Liberation Army. Since the People's Liberation Army used this young Communist army as bait, I will swallow your bait to see what you can do. It was the large troops of the People's Liberation Army who made the move, and the real intention became clear.
