The beacon of youth

Chapter 481

The People's Liberation Army troops bursting out at full strength stunned the attacking Eighth Cavalry Division at once. The People's Liberation Army troops fired so fiercely that you could tell from the sound of the firing that they were all large-caliber anti-aircraft machine guns used to shoot planes, "Deng The sound of shooting made the charging soldiers terrified. Change the big guys in these infantry weapons into flat shots and sweep them fiercely at people and horses. Who can stand it? One shot can kill people. The powerful and brutal Ma Jiajun can't stand it either

How can this be a war?If we continue like this, let alone rushing up, even running back is not easy. A trusted officer came to Ma Ying who was in a daze and whispered: "Mr. The division's attack was in vain."

Ma Ying calmed down and asked in a voice that only two people could hear: "How about our division's casualties?"

The officer sighed and replied: "Master, there were heavy casualties. We passed the [-] mark, and few survived. They were all smashed by the firepower of the communist army. It's too miserable."

The answer of his subordinates made Ma Ying tremble. Ma Ying is not a fool, not only is he not stupid, but he is also a guy with a lot of eyes. Why did the troops of the People's Liberation Army not use their full strength before, but now they suddenly exert their strength? I can guess almost, it must be the end of the [-]th Brigade, which made the troops of the People's Liberation Army have no scruples to deal with them

After thinking about it for a while, cold sweat broke out on Ma Ying's forehead. This guy somewhat understood the current situation. If he continued to do it blindly, not only the [-]th Brigade in the valley would be ruined, but even his [-]th Cavalry Division would be ruined. we have to die together

Thinking of this, Ma Ying decisively gave an order: "The whole division has it. The front team has changed to the rear team. Withdraw, quickly withdraw, fuck him, no one cares."

The soldiers under him were looking forward to Ma Ying's words. Seeing that they were all dead, who would want to charge forward? Not only did they ignore the corpses of the officers and soldiers killed in battle, but they also ignored the numbers of the seriously wounded. They threw them anywhere and then withdrew. If it sounds nice, it’s called withdrawal, and if it’s not, it’s called fleeing. Anyway, the Eighth Cavalry Division slipped away.

At this time, the main force of the independent brigade also came to the position where the troops were interspersed. Li Yong, the brigade commander, and Wang Chengde, the political commissar, all arrived. Wang Huhu, Zhang Jinsong, and Wei Gang all came to report the battle situation. After a while, the [-]th Iron Cavalry Brigade of the Qingma Army was finished and was wiped out by our brigade. Lao Sun and He Cuihua of the supply camp were leading the soldiers to capture the prisoners

The battalion commander of the tank battalion, Jiang Tiexiong, stood beside Li Yong and Wang Chengde, looking around without saying a word. He, the commander of the army who had just arrived not long ago, was once again shocked by the fierce fighting attitude of the independent brigade. The soldiers of the People's Liberation Army were helpless Said that as long as there are suitable weapons and equipment, they can explode extremely terrifying combat power. It is not that his tank battalion has never fought before, but it has never happened in such a desperate situation with opponents. Miraculously changed, the brigade commander and the political commissar only sent some political workers over, and most of the rest were members of the *old tank regiment. People's mental outlook is different from before

In fact, this is not difficult to understand. The combat effectiveness of the PLA troops comes from the constant and unremitting political and ideological education. With glorious traditions and combat experience, soldiers armed with revolutionary ideology are not afraid of any challenges.

Jiang Tiexiong, the oldest soldier, didn't say anything, but Li Yuming, the instructor, didn't have so many scruples. Li Yuming shouted loudly: "Hey, what kind of iron cavalry, shit, if you meet our independent brigade, you will be dead. Look at the people in this place." Dead corpse, I don’t think it’s called an iron cavalry, it’s quite appropriate to call it a dead cavalry.”

Li Yong ignored Li Yuming's yelling, everyone was happy after winning the battle, and it's no big deal for Li Yuming to toss about indiscriminately, his attention was all on listening to Wang Huhu's report

Wang Huo briefly reported the battle process of interspersed troops to brigade commander Li Yong and political commissar Wang Chengde, and finally said: "Weigang and his battalion have just suppressed another enemy attack. According to the situation on the battlefield, , the results of the machine gun battalion are not small, and the loss of the enemy's Eighth Cavalry Division has exceeded 2000 people."

A battalion-level unit wiped out more than 2000 enemies in defensive operations, which is no small feat anyway. For this reason, Wei Gang, the battalion commander of the machine gun battalion, said proudly: "Look, brigade commander, the front is The Eighth Cavalry Division, which was defeated by us just now, the enemy who attacked just now used at least seven or eight hundred human guns, but in the end we beat them back and killed them."

Li Yong picked up the binoculars in his hand and looked carefully at the position of Wei Gang's finger. After looking at it, Li Yong saw something. It is said that there were more than 1 casualties, but the main force is basically there, and the combat effectiveness is still relatively complete. Why is there no extra movement in such a large division-level force?

There must be a reason for the strange things. Li Yong frowned and shouted: "Zhang Jinsong, send a few small troops to scout and see what tricks the enemy is up to. Go quickly!"

Several small troops rushed down, some drove jeeps, some rode horses, and quickly approached the assembly place of the Eighth Cavalry Division. In order to provide cover for the soldiers who went out for reconnaissance, Li Yong asked Wei Gang's machine gun battalion to get ready Once the enemy counterattacks, use anti-aircraft machine guns to provide fire support to the scouts. With the power of dozens of anti-aircraft machine guns, as long as they are within range, the scouts can be brought back no matter what.

But all that Li Yong did was proved to be useless. After a short time, all the soldiers who went out to reconnaissance came back. These soldiers brought back only one piece of news. What is near the assembly point? Judging from the confession of the captives and all the signs, this old fried dough stick Ma Ying ran away with the Eighth Cavalry Division

The results brought by the scouts caused Wei Gang and Zhang Jinsong to slap their thighs, especially Wei Gang, who took off his hat and threw it away angrily, and cursed: "He, Ma Jiajun, why didn't I do that?" Thinking that they still have such a trick, when the enemy is defeated, if our battalion goes out and chases it, it will be fine, and the results of the battle can be expanded.”

Li Yong glared at Wei Gang: "Don't talk nonsense, do you dare to chase after you don't understand the situation? Your battalion has more than 1000 people, but the enemy's Eighth Cavalry Division has more than 1 troops. , the attack is not advisable.”

After training Wei Gang a few words, Li Yong asked Li Jia, the company commander of the guard, to bring over the map, and drew it back and forth with the red and blue pencils in his hand. The brigade commander was thinking about the problem, and the commanders surrounded their heads Look carefully to see what major issues the brigade commander is thinking about. The independent brigade requires brigade commander Li Yong to make decisions at critical times. This is already a mature step.

Li Yong's head was running high. Judging from all historical and realistic conditions, the Ma family army who had left the Guanzhong area from Qinghai and Ningxia had indeed run away. The "Pingliang Battle Plan" that came out was no longer of one mind. The Ma Jiajun in Ningxia thought that Ma Bufang had no good intentions and wanted to use their Ningma Army to serve as death squads and pawns for their Qingma Army. Of course, such stupid things cannot be done. Therefore, under the order of Ma Hongkui, the Ma family army in Ningxia only resisted at a place called Renshanhe, and the main force withdrew to Ningxia.

The Qingma Army also resisted the People's Liberation Army. The place of resistance is the current Guguan. The troops are the [-]th Cavalry Brigade and the [-]th Cavalry Division that fought against the Independent Brigade. There should be no Majiajun troops nearby. The courageous mentality is gradually brightening, right? This is a good opportunity. With the mobility of the independent brigade, if you don't chase it, you will be too sorry for the title of the hero brigade.

Thinking of this, Li stood up bravely, and ordered loudly: "The whole brigade has them, set off immediately, follow the traces of the enemy's withdrawal, and chase after them, and strive to expand the results of the battle."

Wang Chengde, the political commissar, reminded: "Dayong, we should first send a report to the superiors, and report the actions and exact location of our brigade to the superiors, so as to facilitate their next decision-making."

Wang Chengde is a good political commissar. He tried his best to maintain Li Yong's authority and image in terms of battle command, but he also reminded him at critical moments. The independent brigade reported the intention of the operation and the exact location to the superior just in case the situation changed. At that time, the main force can support the independent brigade at any time to prevent the Ma's army from retreating.

A telegram was sent out within a few minutes. The Independent Brigade has its own communication platoon and its own radio station, so it is very convenient to communicate with the higher-level authorities. In this regard, Li Jia, the company commander and communication platoon leader, is From this point, it can be seen that Li Yong's original decision-making was correct, and it was not in vain that Li Yong tried his best to snatch her, a *captain officer, from the 36th Division of the KMT's reorganization. Now Li Jia is already a He is an out-and-out soldier of the People's Liberation Army, and he is considered a qualified veteran in the Independent Brigade

The People's Liberation Army Independent Brigade with more than 1 people aggressively chased it down. The iron stream was billowing, the smoke and dust cleared the air, and all of them were mechanized.

The first one was the heavy tank battalion of the Independent Brigade. More than 100 tanks and armored vehicles smashed the road, and made a road where there was no road. The exhaust from the tanks and armored vehicles flashed in the sky. faint blue smoke
