The beacon of youth

Chapter 478 Despair

Fiery fire, gunpowder smoke, berserk grenades, and dense mortar shells turned the entire mountain into a hell on earth. The Qingma army launched wave after wave of attacks, and the cavalry's attack speed was brought into full play. The interval between times is very short, charging one after another.

The howling of soldiers, the neighing of war horses, the explosion of artillery shells and grenades, and the continuous firing of light and heavy machine guns gave the entire battlefield a feeling of doomsday, and the huge pressure made the interspersed troops The fighters in the field have a feeling of being out of breath.

The current battle situation is that Ma Jixian's Fourteenth Cavalry Brigade uses two regiments and all the heavy weapons to resist the frontal attack of the Independent Brigade of the People's Liberation Army, and uses one regiment to cooperate with the Eighth Cavalry Division internally and externally. , and then retreated along the trend, relying on the maneuvering speed of the cavalry, as long as they can retreat, the large troops of the People's Liberation Army will have no way to catch up.

The idea is good, but if you want to withdraw, you must first defeat the troops of the People's Liberation Army placed on the mountain behind Guguan, and fight a bloody road to rush out. Break through the defense of the People's Liberation Army in one fell swoop with uninterrupted offense.

Under the enemy's desperate attack, the battle became more and more intense. The independent brigade interspersed troops in Guguan Houshan held their ground under the leadership of Wang Huo. The oldest soldier of the independent brigade, Wang Huo, knew very well the burden on his shoulders. As long as the interspersed troops he brings can block the enemy, the battle can be turned into a beautiful annihilation battle, and the [-]th cavalry brigade of the Qingma Army can be wiped out, and the enemy's arrogance can be attacked, otherwise it can only be one The rout battle with little result, and the latter result is the result that the brigade commander, political commissar, and even the cadres and soldiers of the whole brigade do not want to see.

Under the crazy attack of the enemy, the casualties of the [-]th Battalion and the Machine Gun Battalion continued to increase, but Wang Huo never used the reconnaissance battalion, which was still in his hands, as a reserve team. According to Wang Huo's thinking, it was not the most critical When the time comes, you must never use the last troops in your hand, as long as you can persist, you must persist.

When the battle was at its fiercest, Wang Huo received an inquiry call from brigade commander Li Yong. Wang Huo asked his brigade commander to rest assured that as long as there was one soldier left, he would hold the position. As long as Wang Huo was around, the enemy would run away. stay home.

Li Yong, the brigade commander, understood the pressure on Wang Huohu and his soldiers. In order to reduce the burden on the interspersed troops and to end the battle as soon as possible, Li Yong ordered the frontal assault troops of the independent brigade to rush forward at all costs and not be afraid of casualties. .

In order to strengthen the attack, after the second echelon launched the attack, Li Yong ordered the first and second battalions deployed on both sides of Guguan to abandon their original missions and launch attacks from both sides.

The first battalion and the second battalion were originally pre-deployed to prevent the enemy's fleeing troops from escaping from both sides of the mountain. However, judging from the current fighting situation, Li Yong still underestimated the enemy's determination to resist, so he called it the Qingma Army Cavalry The [-]th Cavalry Brigade did not return at the sight of toughness like other Kuomintang troops. Instead, they fought desperately with the PLA under the leadership of officers at all levels. After fighting for two or three hours, they still fought against the Independent Brigade and did not give up. There are signs of fleeing from the position. In a sense, the [-]th Brigade, known as the Iron Cavalry, is indeed a force that dares to work hard.

Seeing that the enemy was still resisting, Li Yong, the brigade commander, also changed his initial deployment and ordered the first and second battalions, which were still on standby, to attack immediately.

Li Jiangguo, the commander of the first battalion, and Ma Quanyou, the commander of the second battalion, had been jumping up and down on the mountain in a hurry. Seeing the fighting below was in full swing, their two battalions were placed on the top of the mountain to watch the big show. Isn't this uncomfortable!

The first battalion commander, Li Jiangguo, kept muttering to the soldiers around him: "No, I can't stand it. My heart is going to explode. The brigade commander and the political commissar are too biased. Why don't we just wait and see the big show?"

Li Jiangguo is a very talkative commander. According to the soldiers, their battalion commander is a bit nagging, and the soldiers can tell him directly if they are annoyed. What's the use of muttering to us?We are not the commander, so you can just call the brigade commander and the political commissar.

Li Jiangguo replied, "You guys know what the hell. The brigade commander is busy directing the battle. If I ask for instructions indiscriminately, I may disrupt the commander's train of thought. If I don't make it right, I will be scolded. Such an idiot!" Our old Li can't do things.

While he was muttering non-stop, a soldier ran over panting and reported: "Report to the battalion commander, the brigade commander ordered our battalion to abandon the original mission and launch an attack from the top of the mountain."

After receiving the brigade commander's order, Li Jiangguo's eyes were about to burst into laughter, and the guy muttered: "Is that right? Our first battalion has never been used as a decoration, and the famous main battalion is placed on the ground. What can we do on the top of the mountain?”

It is estimated that Ma Quanyou, the commander of the second battalion, was in the same mood as Li Jiangguo. After Li Yong's order was issued, the first battalion and the second battalion immediately launched attacks from the tops of the mountains on both sides. Under the cover of mortar and heavy machine gun fire, the soldiers They started charging directly from the top of the mountain.

Shouts came from the tops of the mountains on both sides, and the figures of the attacking troops of the Liberation Army were clearly visible. The heavy machine guns and mortar platoons provided support behind the attacking soldiers. As long as there was a little resisting firepower, the sky would smash their heads The cannonballs fell to the ground, and then Maxim's crazy strafing.

How to resist?There was no way to resist, and the [-]th Brigade of the Qingma Army used all its strength to withstand the frontal attack of the People's Liberation Army. The first and second battalions pressed down from both sides of the top of the mountain and immediately became the last ones to crush the elephant. Straw, the soldiers of the Qingma Army jumped up from the ground with a bang and ran. They couldn't even run. They were so crushed by the heavy machine guns of the People's Liberation Army that they couldn't even raise their heads. At that time, the infantry had already rushed up, and the submachine guns in their hands were firing continuously at the soldiers of the Qingma Army who were still holding sabers, and the sound of tatata shooting resounded through the valley.

Li Jiangguo was so excited, this battle was so enjoyable, what kind of cavalry unit of the Qingma Army, what kind of trump card?Shit, as long as you encounter an independent brigade of our People's Liberation Army, no matter what the enemy is, it's a pumpkin.

The soldiers kept going down the mountain, until they were only a dozen or twenty meters away from the enemy. When the submachine gun at this distance was at its most favorable time to exert its power, it was time to use the submachine gun against the saber.

How could a cold weapon be an opponent of a hot weapon? The howling soldiers of the [-]th Brigade were knocked down one by one. Under close range shooting, bursts of Tommy submachine guns smashed the chests of their opponents.

Shells poured down among the horses and the crowd like raindrops, rocks flew randomly in the canyon, and gunpowder smoke filled the air. Everything was in a sea of ​​flames. The firepower that the brigade commander Li Yong had always emphasized after the formation of the army once again played a huge role. Power, the weapons and equipment of the [-]th Brigade of the Qingma Army are not at the same level as the Independent Brigade of the People's Liberation Army, and they are almost impossible to fight in close combat.

Less than half an hour after the first battalion and the second battalion launched the attack, the ace unit of the Qingma Army finally couldn't sting, the confidence in resistance was shattered, the dead bodies of men and horses piled up like mountains, and the blood stained the Guguan River , it was the hottest season of the year, the stench of rotting corpses was overwhelming, and it seemed that breathing was difficult. Countless breakouts were beaten back by the People's Liberation Army. Later, the soldiers of the Qingma Army were a little Desperate, he ran around without hesitation.

Ma Chengxian, the brigade commander of the [-]th Brigade, had his head buzzing. He didn't know whether he was scared or shocked by the shells. Anyway, this guy's thinking was a little unclear, and he had to organize his forces to resist when the soldiers were running around. .

On the contrary, the chief of staff, Ma Shangwu, was more aware of the current situation than this guy. Ma Shangwu held Ma Chengxian and persuaded him: "Brigade Commander, there is no way to resist, and withdraw quickly. If you don't withdraw, you and I will not be able to leave."

Being dragged by the chief of staff Ma Shangwu, the brigade commander Ma Chengxian seemed to understand somewhat. The guy gasped and asked, "Shangwu, haven't our three regiments rushed out yet?"

Ma Shangwu nodded: "Brigade Commander, the communist army's blocking troops are too tough. The brothers from the Third Regiment and the Eighth Cavalry Division have tried their best, but they just can't go up. Commander Ma Ying has used the entire division. , or not, the firepower of the communist army is too fierce, and the brothers died one by one."

This guy Ma Chengxian was born in the army and has rich experience in the battlefield. He is very aware of the current situation. His [-]th brigade can only rush out if he kills a bloody path behind him. In order to provide time for the third regiment and the eighth cavalry division, the rest of him The two regiments must withstand the frontal attack of the People's Liberation Army until the breakout troops open a breakthrough. Once they cannot withstand the People's Liberation Army's rush up, his Fourteenth Brigade will not even think about breaking through.

Thinking of this, the guy stood up again, muttering in his mouth: "My [-]th brigade can't be finished, my [-]th brigade can't be finished, the old commander is still waiting for my news, we must stand up to the communist army, we must Resist the communist army, pass my order, pull the brigade guards up, and fight with the communist army, Ma Ying, a scum, I will go to the old commander and sue him for delaying the battle."

After finishing speaking, Ma Chengxian stared at his blood-red eyes, jumped up from the trench with a submachine gun in his hand, and rushed forward with a loud shout.

Ma Chengxian wanted to use his heroic behavior to encourage his soldiers, and to entangle with the People's Liberation Army for a while longer, and persist until the breakout troops in the back mountain opened the breakthrough. Otherwise it's all over.

But things are not as easy as he imagined, and the progress of the battle cannot be reversed by one person. Ma Chengxian, who was screaming and shouting, was discovered by the People's Liberation Army as soon as he rushed out of the position. A dozen mortar shells fell, and Ma Chengxian fell down together with a dozen of his guards amidst the steaming smoke.
