The beacon of youth

Chapter 45

The frontline commanders of the Kuomintang judged from various signs that the reinforcements from the People's Liberation Army should be an elite force capable of rapid maneuvering. The purpose is to block the main force in Luoju Town, just like the Tenth Division of the former Communist Army. A small piece of land, wait for their large forces to arrive before encircling and annihilating them.

When thinking of this, the commander of the Kuomintang, Ji Lingling, shivered. He picked up the microphone and called for someone to pick up Commander Hu. I want to talk to him directly, hurry up. "

The Kuomintang army is not all useless, and there are indeed a group of officers and soldiers who can fight. The front-line commander guessed the general course of the matter from the simple shelling process of the independent brigade, that is, the reinforcements of the Communist army are A force that had been reinforced with artillery, but certainly not yet the main force of the Communist Army in the Northwest.

The front-line commander shouted at the top of his voice to Mr. Hu, we encountered the resistance of the communist army's superior artillery fire, and the artillery losses were serious. I asked the horse to send planes to attack the communist artillery positions from the air. If we fall, we still have the hope of rushing out. "

The front-line commander of the Kuomintang has some considerations in requesting the air force to fight. This guy thought about it. The Northwest Communist Army has a low degree of mechanization and a small number of cars. The reinforcements can be deployed so quickly, which shows that this is a part of the Communist Army. A fast-moving force.

Since it is a fast-moving force, it must not be a large force. It is easy to handle if it is not a large force. All the communist army can rely on is these artillery fires. They just need to destroy the artillery fire of the communist army, and then let the infantry rush along with the tanks. Go, there is still hope for breaking through the siege of the communist army.

The 51 Mustang fighter is the most excellent escort fighter of the U.S. military in World War II. Compared with other fighters, the Mustang has a long range, strong firepower, and certain protection capabilities. According to the way of thinking from the past, the aircraft they need can perform air combat missions and also have a certain ground attack capability. Therefore, the Mustang can not only conduct air combat with opponents, but also attack the ground. Of course, The ability to attack the ground is far worse than that of a full-time bomber.

The Mustang fighter jets in the War of Liberation had no opponents. In the entire Far East Air Force, only the Japanese Zero Type could pose a certain threat to it. There is an invincible presence in the sky of the Asian theater.

So far, the air force in the south of Hu Zongnan of the Kuomintang still has a flying regiment equipped with more than [-] Mustang fighter jets. These [-] or so Mustang fighter jets should be the last trump card in the hands of Hu Zongnan, the former king of the Northwest. .

It was time for Hu Zongnan to do his best. He ordered his air force to do its best to destroy the artillery positions of the communist army. Ground-to-air fire coverage.

The situation is quite serious. The howitzer battalion of the Independent Brigade is engaged in a fierce battle with the artillery unit of the Kuomintang under the command of the battalion commander Gao Xiang. The positions exploded, and the artillery battalion of the independent brigade also suffered certain casualties.

This is the first time that the artillery battalion has suffered large-scale casualties since the formation of the army. The cannons and shells of the Kuomintang are also made of steel, not cotton. The soldiers competed with the enemy in confidence, courage, and sacrifice. In this case, it is a bit unrealistic to use cannons to fight guerrillas with the enemy as before, and the artillery battalion that opened fire violently has no way to hide.

manage?The howitzer battalion that is engaged in an artillery battle with the enemy has no way to hide, and the enemy has an air force. There are more than [-] artillery pieces, which are the boss. Once such a large artillery position that is firing is detected by the enemy aircraft, the consequences will be unimaginable.

In the later stage of modern warfare, it is difficult to win the battlefield by relying on a single unit of arms. The so-called three-dimensional war is actually a confrontation between one system and another system. The converted People's Liberation Army units suffered a lot.

The Kuomintang's troops have artillery and tanks on the ground, as well as aircraft in the sky. They have already begun to take the shape of modern warfare, while the troops of the People's Liberation Army are still mainly ground troops, with very few artillery and tanks.

The battle in Luoju Town was like this. The [-]th Division of the People's Liberation Army defending the position not only had no tanks, but also had very few artillery pieces. Don't even think about flying. They didn't even have a machine hair. The soldiers could only passively suffer threats from the air. It exploded, and there was no strength to fight back.

Relying on a single arm of the army to fight against the enemy's combined ground and air forces has lagged behind a lot in terms of military concepts, but there is no way to do it. The PLA troops that have just come out of the ravine still need to be perfected in future wars military theory.

The troops of the People's Liberation Army are lacking things, lacking this and that, and there is only a single army. From the perspective of modern warfare, this battle cannot be fought, but the commanders and fighters of the People's Liberation Army not only fought the battle, but also won it. ?

The People's Liberation Army won the battle relying on the tenacious will to fight and the senseless sacrifice and courage of the commanders and fighters. There is no enemy invincible in front of them. It doesn't work either.

Wei Gang, the battalion commander of the machine gun battalion, is a very young veteran. Wei Gang, who has fought for many years, understands the situation of the troops and the worries of the leaders. , as long as they are there, our cannons will be there. No matter how many planes the enemy comes, the machine gun battalion will fight to the end. "

As the leader of the brigade, Li Yong, he is also going all out. He always talks about fighting the enemy desperately at the critical time. You have to pay a big price, and your two battalions must also be prepared to pay the price. You have to grit your teeth and fight the enemy with your life, and you have to stand up.

Twenty-odd Mustangs took off from an airport still under the control of the Kuomintang army and flew towards Luoju Town with enough ammunition and fuel. At the end of the day, the battle has taken off several times, how can this be unbearable.

The pilots of Yun Cai complained to the leader of the team one after another, sir, if this continues, they will be exhausted if they are not beaten to death by the communist army. We can't hold on any longer. "

The lead pilot of the team was an old Kuomintang school. This guy said in a vicious tone, stop talking nonsense, can the Communist Army beat us to death?Can the Communist Army beat us to death?With their rifles?Let me tell you that when doing things for people, you must see the overall situation clearly. This is likely to be our last combat flight in the university. You must show me a good performance, and I will also give you some political capital, so think clearly. "

What the officer said left these pilots speechless. Their fate is linked to the fate of the party and country they are loyal to. I have heard that Feng wants to move the base of their air force to Taiwan. , In this way, it is really possible that it will be the last battle of the Continental Air Force.

"Lower the altitude, pay attention to observation, and report in time if there is any situation."

Twenty or so fighter jets descended through the clouds after arriving at the combat area, and the altitude was reduced from 6000 meters to 5000 meters. It will increase when it is below 3000 meters, and if it is lower, it will enter the range of the communist army's light weapons, so these pilots have their eyes wide open, hoping to get to the communist army's artillery positions earlier.

The target of the old-fashioned propeller aircraft is completely based on visual inspection. A pilot suddenly shouted, "Sir, I saw the artillery position of the Communist Army. It is just to the lower left of our aircraft group. It is a huge artillery position, and there is no concealment at all." "

Isn’t it true that the artillery positions of the communist army seem to have not seen their planes these days. Looking down from the cockpit of the plane, rows and rows of cannons are still firing continuously, and soldiers are carrying them back and forth like ants Shells, all signs indicate that this is a communist artillery position that is engaged in fierce fighting with the enemy.

The Kuomintang school who led the flight felt angry, what?

The commander of the Kuomintang Air Force this day once suffered from the People's Liberation Army near Baoji. This guy saw the People's Liberation Army's heavy artillery positions shooting openly and suddenly became suspicious. The Communist Army didn't hide because they saw the plane?What is the basis for the troops to be so calm?Is there a fraud?

"Sir, sir, the communist army's position is right below us. Do you want to attack immediately?"

High-speed fighter jets are the natural enemy and nemesis of the artillery on the ground. These pilots of the Kuomintang understand this, so they are also eager to attack the artillery positions of the People's Liberation Army earlier, and they also want to make meritorious service, just like what their chief said In that way, I can earn some political capital for my future trip to Taiwan.

The commander of the Kuomintang on this day did not answer the pilot's questions, nor did he let the troops attack rashly. Instead, he ordered a small team to descend to a dive attack on the artillery positions of the Communist Army and execute them. "

This is a typical tentative attack. This guy is scared and wants to find out the PLA's surface-to-air firepower before making a decision.

I wish you a happy Mother's Day, and may all mothers in the world be safe, happy and healthy.
