The beacon of youth

Chapter 473

Revolt

After the piercing troops led by Wang Huo arrived at the designated location, the heavy howitzer battalion of the Independent Brigade began to prepare for artillery fire against the enemy. Half an hour after the artillery preparation, the tank battalion launched an assault. Facing the armored troops of the PLA, the [-]th Brigade of the Qingma Army Not reconciled to failure, the soldiers counterattacked the PLA amidst the shouts of the officers.win words

In order to make up for the lack of anti-tank weapons, Ma Shangwu, the chief of staff of the [-]th Cavalry Brigade, came up with an idea to ask the soldiers of the Ma’s Army to bundle grenades together and use cluster grenades to prepare to blow up tanks. He also said that he learned this from the People’s Liberation Army. experience.

The brigade commander Ma Chengxian's eyes lit up after hearing the suggestion, he turned around and patted Ma Shangwu on the shoulder: "Shangwu, I really have you, so I'll do as you said, come here, organize a death squad for me, rush up, put Communist tanks exploded."

In addition to the Central Army, the Kuomintang army also has a large number of local armies of various factions, such as Zhang Xueliang's Northeast Army, Yang Hucheng's Northwest Army, Yan Xishan's Jinsui Army, Liu Xiang and Liu Wenhui The Sichuan Army of Longyun, the Yunnan Army of Longyun, the Gui Army of Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi, the Majia Army and so on.

Among the armies in these places, there are many brave troops. Among them, the Majiajun in the Northwest is on the list, and among the Majiajun in the Northwest, the most fierce is the Majiajun in Qinghai, which is the subordinate of the great warlord Ma Bufang. Qingma Army.

The Fourteenth Cavalry Brigade is Ma Bufang's direct lineage, and it is also an army that dares to fight desperately with the opponent. Although it suffered heavy losses from the previous artillery fire, it did not just give in blindly. Under the order of the brigade commander Ma Chengxian, hundreds of special forces Under the cover of firepower, the anti-tank team that bombed the tanks jumped out of the fortifications, holding grenades or explosives, and rushed towards the tank battalion ferociously.

As part of the first assault echelon of the Independent Brigade, the [-]rd Battalion advanced with the tank troops. Under the leadership of the battalion commander Ma Changsheng, the soldiers followed the tanks and advanced quickly. When the battle was going smoothly, Suddenly hundreds of soldiers from the Qingma Army jumped out from the opposite fortifications, and these soldiers howled and rushed forward with bundles of grenades or explosives.

The two armies were not too far apart, but the soldiers of the Ma's army suddenly rushed forward and got closer. Battalion Commander Ma Changsheng was in a hurry at that time, right? The enemy is trying to blow up our tanks, which is not bad. The troops rushed up and knocked out the enemy's anti-tank teams. "Please familiarize yourself with the domain name"

The most common equipment for the soldiers of the Independence Brigade Infantry Battalion is the American Tommy submachine gun, which is a very suitable weapon for close combat, while the death squads of the Qingma Army are not equipped with any weapons to carry cluster grenades or explosives. He didn't even wear clothes, was shirtless, rushed up with a grenade in his arms.

The soldiers of the Qingma Army are very brave in behavior, but such reckless actions are not advisable on the battlefield. It is too difficult to blow up the tanks accompanied by infantry. The soldiers of the third battalion came from behind the tanks and armored vehicles. He rushed out, and used the submachine gun in his hand to point at the enemy anti-tank team who rushed over to make a roll call.

The sudden sound of shooting caused these desperadoes from the Qingma Army to fall to the ground one by one, and the rapid-fire bullets knocked down the death squads of the [-]th Brigade in pieces. The head hits the chest. The Tommy-style submachine gun is a large-caliber individual weapon. The bullets have a large caliber, and the power of hitting the body at close range is huge. A few bullets can smash a person's chest, and one bullet can Smash heads.

Shooting, shooting at close range, the soldiers fought together with the rushing enemy, the distance between them was only tens of meters to a dozen meters, and later it was simply impossible to tell the exact position of the enemy and ourselves, the soldiers of the People's Liberation Army covering the tank troops Get mixed up with the soldiers of the Qingma Army.

The soldiers had only one thought, saying that they couldn’t let the enemy blow up our tanks. But at this time, because the distance was too close, the weapons on the tanks could no longer support the soldiers under the tanks. The battalion commander of the tank battalion Jiang Tiexiong and the trainer Li Yuming were anxious to scold their mothers.

Ma Chengxian, the brigade commander of the [-]th brigade, and Ma Shangwu, the chief of staff, had been watching the battle from behind. The bravery of the soldiers of the independent brigade made Ma Chengxian curse: "Hey, why are these communist troops so desperate? Come on, send me some death squads to rush up, Tell the brethren, whoever can blow up a communist tank will reward you five hundred."

Ma Shangwu, the chief of staff of the [-]th Brigade of the Qingma Army, was quicker than the brigade commander Ma Chengxian, so he immediately said, "Wait a minute."

Ma Chengxian glanced at him and asked: "Shangwu, the communist army is working so hard, what else can we do without reinforcements? Can't we just watch the brothers get killed?"

Ma Shangwu: "Brigade Commander, most of the communist soldiers use submachine guns. This type of weapon poses a great threat to our death squads. It is useless to rush up even more brothers if we don't wipe them out."

The brigade commander Ma Chengxian was a little anxious: "What do you think should be done?"

Ma Shangwu: "Brigade Commander, there is a way. Call our heavy firepower battalion and use heavy machine gun fire to suppress the infantry of the communist army, and then our death squad will go up. As long as we can blow up the communist army's tanks and armored vehicles, With the combat effectiveness of our [-]th Brigade, there is no problem in holding the position."

In addition to the three cavalry regiments, the [-]th Cavalry Brigade of the Qingma Army has an artillery battalion and a heavy firepower battalion. The artillery battalion was completely lost in the previous PLA artillery attack, but the heavy firepower battalion did not suffer much. Under the order of the brigade commander Ma Chengxian, a dozen heavy machine guns and small cannons were quickly moved over, and opened fire on the PLA infantry advancing with the tanks.

The bullets turned around like a strong wind, and the soldiers of the third battalion who were fighting the enemy's death squads immediately suffered a large number of casualties. Suddenly there was a big gap for the infantry, and the morale of the death squads of the Majiajun was boosted. These shirtless desperadoes rushed over roaring, and the front one was very close to the tank.

The third battalion commander Ma Changsheng's eyes were almost red. The independent brigade is used to fighting with the wind, and it is rare to encounter such a heavy casualty. Seeing the death squads of the Qingma Army rush in through the gap, attacking tanks and armored vehicles up.

The soldiers wanted to rush out and fight the enemy desperately, but the enemy's firepower was too fierce. It could be heard that there were at least a dozen or twenty heavy machine guns firing in unison, and the bullets whistled from the top of their heads. Standing up doesn't do much. When the enemy's firepower is not suppressed, Hu Luan's charge is tantamount to death.

Since the Independent Brigade became an army, it has always used firepower to suppress its opponents. The soldiers are used to their own firepower being stronger than the enemy.

A tank is a weapon that hits far but not close. There are many shooting dead ends at close range, but it doesn’t mean that you can blow up a tank as long as you get close to it. In addition to courage, you need skill to blow up a tank. If you want to use grenades and It is not easy to blow up a tank with a very primitive anti-tank weapon like a yao bag. The soldiers of the Majia Army do not lack courage and dare to risk their lives against the People's Liberation Army. Tanks, but when they get close, they don't know where to start, and they don't know where the tank's vital points are.

The commander of the tank battalion, Jiang Tiexiong, and the instructor, Li Yuming, commanded the tanks to evade back and forth, letting the tanks rush up, trying not to let the enemy's anti-tank team approach, and if they couldn't avoid it, they would crush them with their tracks, and the battlefield was bloody for a while.

Several anti-tank teams were crushed to death by tanks in a row. Later, these death squads of the Qingma Army also learned to be smart. They pulled the cluster grenades and explosives in the direction of the tanks, and then turned around and ran away.

Li Yong, the brigade commander of the Independent Brigade, used binoculars to see the situation on the battlefield clearly. He saw the explosions on the battlefield. With the explosion, the tracks of several tanks were blown off, and the tanks shook a few times. down and stopped.

Li Yong felt a wave of anger rushing back to his head. He didn't expect to suffer losses under the attack of the [-]th Cavalry Brigade. Li Yong picked up the walkie-talkie and shouted: "Ma Changsheng, what are you doing? Where are the heavy machine gun platoon and small artillery platoon? Are all the weapons in your hand sticks of fire?"

In fact, Li Yong was wrong to blame Ma Changsheng. The third battalion, as the first attack echelon that followed the tank troops, had been charging with the tanks all the time. However, there was a little problem in the coordination between the third battalion and the tank battalion during the charge. , because the tank battalion rushed too fast, only some soldiers of the third battalion with light weapons followed, and the soldiers carrying heavy machine guns and artillery shells could not catch up with the speed of the tanks no matter how hard they ran, resulting in the third battalion's firepower. The enemy's opponent, this made the enemy take advantage of it.

The commander of the third battalion, Ma Changsheng, is like a raging fire. He couldn't stand being scolded by the commander on the battlefield. The veins on this guy's head popped up so high that he gritted his teeth and shouted: "Have the heavy machine gun platoon and mortar platoon caught up? Where are they? ?”

After a while, two platoons of soldiers came up, and the soldiers who were fighting against small artillery and heavy machine guns lay down on the ground so tired that they couldn't get up, their uniforms were already drenched with sweat.

Ma Changsheng grabbed a heavy machine gun and shouted without turning his head: "Did you see the scene ahead? Our battalion has suffered a lot of losses. We have all of them. We are ready to fight."

The soldiers got up from the ground at once, and fired under the command of the battalion commander Ma Changsheng. The shooting sound of more than [-] tings of water-cooled Maxim was shocking, and the heavy machine gunners of the third battalion fired with all their might. Combined, they confronted the heavy machine gun positions of the [-]th Cavalry Brigade.
