The beacon of youth

Chapter 460

The fierce fighting made the soldiers of the Machine Gun Battalion completely forget themselves, so that only a group of small black dots were left in the air, and they were still shooting desperately. |Super speed update text chapter|

The battalion commander Wei Gang who ran over raised his leg and kicked a soldier who was still shooting non-stop. The soldiers around burst into laughter. The kicked shooter let go of the machine gun in his hand and stood there embarrassedly. I got up, rubbed my butt that was kicked and said, "Hey, Battalion Commander, didn't I do it well, I can't hug him anymore, hehehehe."

The planes in the sky fled in embarrassment, and some of them still had their wings crooked, which meant that they were injured, and it was not known whether they could fly back alive.

The soldiers in the artillery battalion breathed a sigh of relief. The battalion commander didn't give any hidden orders when the planes flew up to his head just now. Since he didn't give an order, he couldn't stop firing. , the battalion commander didn't order the bomb to drop on his head and he couldn't run away. They fought as they wanted. They didn't understand the reason until the machine gun battalion drove the plane away. It turned out that the battalion commander used the entire artillery battalion as bait to give the planes in the sky I made an ambush. This move is really good, but it is still enough. If one is not done well, not only will I not be able to get off the plane, but even the artillery position will have to be reimbursed. Fortunately, the soldiers of the machine gun battalion did not disappoint Gao Xiang and the others. It was beautiful.

While the soldiers in the position were cheering, Li Yong, the brigade commander, called, and Gao Xiang reported excitedly: "Report to the brigade commander, the plane was beaten away by Wei Gang and the others, yes, they all ran away, and six planes were beaten down." , and the rest ran away, faster than a rabbit."

Li Yong also let go of his hanging heart. There is a saying that "details determine success or failure." The battle between the machine gun battalion of the Independent Brigade and the enemy planes was a very crucial detail in the entire battle.

Although the scale of the Battle of Fumei was not as large as the major battles of Liaoshen, Pingjin, and Huaihai, it was not small in the northwest battlefield. The difficulty of the battle was that the total strength of our army in the northwest battlefield was not much larger than that of the enemy. Under such circumstances, eating the enemy's three armies is like taking chestnuts from the fire.

Under the planning of Mr. Peng and the chiefs of the field, the field army formed an encirclement situation against the enemy shortly after the battle started, and gained an absolute advantage in some battlefields. The most critical part of the encirclement situation is the defense of the Fourth Army and Ten Divisions. Luoju Town.

If the battle is to be successful, it is necessary to guard the only way for the Kuomintang army to escape, and to hold the position, it is necessary to restrain the enemy's artillery. The key to restraining the enemy's artillery is how to deal with the enemy's aircraft in the sky, so don't look at the guards. The battle between their battalion and the enemy plane just now was not a big one, but it was related to the overall situation of the campaign.

Since the Kuomintang's aircraft in the sky can't take advantage of it, relying on the powerful combat effectiveness of the independent brigade's artillery battalion, it will definitely not lose the wind in artillery battles with the enemy.

Once the enemy's artillery fire and aircraft can't exert their due power, the tenth division plus the independent brigade's strength will be sure to block the enemy. This is the key to the battle.

Relieved, Li Yong asked the logistics battalion in charge of logistics supplies to quickly replenish ammunition for Gao Jinchun's [-]th Division. There was no plane in the sky, and the artillery on the ground was restrained by the artillery fire of the independent brigade. The soldiers on the defensive position were full of confidence. With the incoming ammunition, one guy knocked down the Kuomintang troops rushing to the vicinity of the position.

Li Yong did not let the troops go to defend the position with the [-]th Division, but after discussing with Commander Gao, let the Independent Brigade act as a reserve team behind the position and hold back.

The Independent Brigade is a force with an extremely powerful attack force. It is a pity to use such a force for defense. Commander Gao also understands this truth, and immediately agreed to Li Yong's suggestion.

The morale of the Tenth Division, which was supported by ammunition and firepower, was greatly shaken, and they repelled several enemy attacks in a row. Several Kuomintang armies saw that the time was getting longer and longer, and the surrounding PLA troops were about to close together. At the critical moment, these Kuomintang generals risked their lives and ordered their troops to rush forward regardless of casualties, regardless of echelon.

The pressure on the Tenth Division suddenly increased, and there were still more than 5000 fighters in the entire division who could fight. More than 5000 people were facing an enemy that was more than ten times their size.

Li Yong, who was observing the battlefield with Commander Gao, of course also discovered this problem. Just when Li Yong was about to use the troops of the Independent Brigade to support the front position of the [-]th Division, there was a rumbling sound of artillery from behind the position.

The scale of the artillery sound was very large, and in the blink of an eye, the shells were overwhelming, and these shells fell into the middle of the charging Kuomintang troops.

The ground was shaken by the shells fired from behind our army's position in Luoju Town. Li Yong and Gao Jinchun looked at each other, both of them were excited, and Gao also imitated Wang Chengde's eloquence. Artillery, it is our artillery fire, it must be our artillery fire. "

Li Yong's judgment was the same as that of Master Gao. The artillery fire that hit the enemy must be our own: "Of course it was our artillery fire, Lao Gao. It seems that we are the main force of our field army."

While the two of them were talking, they heard faintly from the rear of the position the unique shouts of the large troops of the People's Liberation Army when they charged.

Li Yong glanced at his watch, then rushed to Commander Gao and said: "Old Gao, the time for our main attack has been advanced. This is because the head of the headquarters is reducing the pressure on us. Our independent brigade is preparing to attack the enemy in front of us. What do you think?" ?”

Li Yong was asking for the opinion of Commander Gao. Although he was fully capable of commanding the independent brigade, the two troops were fighting jointly, and Commander Gao was the main force. It was necessary to obtain Commander Gao's consent.

Teacher Gao laughed loudly: "It's absolutely fine, Dayong, I know that your brigade has a lot of tanks and armored vehicles. Isn't it a pity to let these iron guys go unused? Go ahead, go at him as a dog, I'll give them to you later." Press down."

Li Yong looked back at Wang Chengde again: "Old Wang, what do you think?"

Wang Chengde said without even turning his head: "Dayong, you have the final say on the war. Do it. This is an opportunity. If you catch it, you will beat them hard."

Wang Chengde is a soldier from the Eighth Route Army, and he has no less experience in commanding the battlefield than Li Yong. He knows that this is a rare opportunity. When the enemy is in a panic, he can definitely take advantage of it with troops.

Li Yong, who got the consent of Commander Gao and Wang Chengde, called on the phone and shouted: All the independent brigades are there. I ordered that the subordinate troops follow the plan formulated before the war, and start attacking the enemy from the front.

The enemy attacked 7 to 1 people from the three armies, and the independent brigade only had more than 7 people. If the safe strategy is to wait for the rendezvous with the large forces, Li Yong does not think so. There are many more independent brigades, but they are already frightened. It is impossible for such a force to have any strong combat effectiveness. What about [-] to [-] people?If you should punch, you have to punch his mother.

The soldiers of the independent brigade have no concept of whether there are more enemies or fewer. Their thinking is very simple.

This is the confidence of the troops. The soldiers have been waiting anxiously for a long time. The tanks and armored vehicles of the tank battalion have been on fire all the time, and they rushed out as soon as Li Yong gave the order.

Battalion instructor Li Yuming yelled in the tank: "Follow me." Then he rushed forward with four tanks.

The plan formulated by the Independent Brigade before the battle was to use the tank battalion and the first battalion as the first attack echelon of the brigade, and use the infantry to cooperate with tanks and armored vehicles to tear a hole in the enemy.

Seeing the tanks and armored vehicles rushing out, Li Jiangguo, the commander of the first battalion, was so excited that he yelled: "Comrades, what are we afraid of with these iron guys at the head? Go, go, whoever runs slowly It's a coward."

The troops went alone, and an attack echelon composed of more than 100 tanks and armored vehicles crossed the defensive tenth division position and rushed forward.

The powerful armored assault force of the Independent Brigade stunned the soldiers of the [-]th Division. Some soldiers looked up from the trenches regardless of the bullets flying everywhere, and said while watching: "Good guy, the tank troops of the Independent Brigade also That's awesome, why are there so many tanks? Could it be that these iron guys fell from the sky?"

Another old soldier said: "Hey, you know what a fart, what fell from the sky, you can't be crushed to death if you fall from the sky, they are from the Kuomintang." When the Independent Brigade attacked Xi'an, a Kuomintang was captured There are dozens of large and small tanks in the tank regiment, and they were brought back by the independent brigade without even losing a piece of skin."

"Oh, why can't such a good thing happen to our division? If our division also has so many tanks, the enemy will not be arrogant. Tanks against tanks, who is afraid of whom?"

When the Tenth Division was defending the position, it suffered a lot from the Kuomintang tanks, so this soldier said this, and the old soldier who spoke later also laughed: "You don't know, if you want to talk about the wheel, you have to wait until the year of the monkey? Independence The brigade guys are used to eating more and occupying more. I heard that they snatched the Kuomintang tank regiment from the Sixth Army, and the two families even had a fight over this matter."

The soldier who spoke first asked with great interest: "What's the result?"

The old soldier replied: "Is there any need to ask? The result is that the chiefs of the field army said that whoever gets rid of them has the ability, it is better than letting the enemy run away. gone."
