The beacon of youth

The battlefield is cruel, so cruel that it exceeds the limit that these recruits can bear. Most of the newly formed troops are recruits who have never fought in battle. They have seen such bloody scenes there. Soft, covered in chaff, and some were so frightened that they even forgot to run away, watching the bullets coming in and tearing their bodies into pieces. -_()

Like a flock of sheep, they rushed upwards, and after one group died, another group came up again. The corpses on the bridge piled up higher and higher, until they were high enough to be used as bunkers.

At this time, another unexpected problem appeared. Under the threat of machine guns from the supervising team, the soldiers of the new First Division of the Qingma Army rushed up the iron bridge. The dead bodies piled up like a mountain. The heavy machine guns of the first and second battalions were all out of reach.

I didn't expect that the stacked dead bodies could be used as sandbag pockets. The soldiers of Ma's army also understood this, and they lay behind the dead bodies to avoid bullets.

In this way, the soldiers of the newly formed First Division of Ma's Army relied on the dead as cover, and moved forward little by little. Every few steps forward, they used dead bodies to build a cover, and then continued to climb forward. Li Jiang, the commander of the first battalion in charge of guarding tasks The country and the second battalion commander Ma Quanyou discussed nervously, and Li Jiangguo shouted loudly: "Old Ma, you can't go on like this. The Ma's army is just using dead people to pile up the pile. If you pile up for a while, it might reach the height of you and me." It's under my nose."

Ma Quanyou knew that Li Jiangguo was a guy with a good brain, and he yelled in response: "What do you think we should do, we can't ask the brigade commander for support if we have something, that would be too embarrassing."

"Who said I need to ask the brigade commander for support? That's what I think. It's best to take down the positions on both sides of the big iron bridge. This will be more conducive to defense, and our artillery can also play a role."

Ma Quanyou: "Okay, what do you say, our second battalion will follow."

Li Jiangguo: "That's what I think. Put them forward and throw grenades when they are about 40 meters away. Then our two battalions will attack and drive the enemy back from the iron bridge, and then take advantage of the situation to occupy What do you think of the bridgehead on the other side?"

Ma Quanyou: "It's a good idea, let's do it like this, Lao Li. You really have a fucking skill."

Li Jiangguo replied unceremoniously: "What do you mean by being skilled? There are many ways. In our du li brigade, besides the brigade commander, I have to be the first battalion commander. How is it? Are you convinced, old horse?"

"I give you credit, hurry up and do serious things, I don't have time to talk to you." Ma Quanyou knew that he couldn't talk to Li Jiangguo, so he simply didn't answer his words, and you can say whatever you like.Anyway, I can't lose a piece of meat.

Another large number of soldiers from the Qingma Army rushed up. Surprisingly, the light and heavy machine guns on the People's Liberation Army's position did not fire, and the officer who supervised the battle behind shouted excitedly: "Brothers, hurry up, the bullets of the Communist Army can't penetrate Cover with corpses. Just do it, quick."

Two battalions of PLA soldiers.Looking coldly at the soldiers of the Ma family army crawling forward like snails, more and more people crowded, so many that the entire bridge deck was covered with mud, and when these soldiers used corpses to build bunkers, they were only a few dozen away from the positions of the first and second battalions. When they were far away, Li Jiangguo and Ma Quanyou yelled, "Drop the bomb."

The grenade like a rainstorm slammed over, fell on the pile of people and bloomed everywhere, and the bunkers piled up by the dead were blown up by the grenades that fell from the sky, and the living and the dead could no longer be distinguished. He got up from the ground with a thud, no longer wanting to use any corpse as a cover, turned around and ran.

This is an excellent opportunity to fight back, and it would be unacceptable not to take advantage of the situation to rush forward. Li Jiangguo and Ma Quanyou, two veteran fighters who were born in poor battles, are too able to seize this opportunity.

"Comrades, follow me." Li Jiangguo and Ma Quan waved their submachine guns, jumped up from the position and rushed out, the battalion commander rushed out, the soldiers could slow down, two infantry battalions, more than 2000 The soldiers got up from the ground and charged, followed the fleeing soldiers and chased after them.

The calves were facing forward, so there was still no fighting power. During the run, the submachine guns of the soldiers of the first and second battalions rattled, and the soldiers of the Qingma Army who fell behind fell in groups.

After chasing, chasing, chasing, chasing him like a shit, the soldiers of the two battalions drove the Majiajun soldiers off the bridge within a few minutes.

The gunfire was raging, the gunfire was loud, and the grenade sounded like popping beans. The officer who was supervising the battle on the other side of the iron bridge never thought that the People's Liberation Army could follow these retreating soldiers. In addition, it was already dark and did not see A group of fleeing sheep is followed by a group of hungry wolves.

"Hurry up, let him go back quickly, the teacher has an order, and all those who retreat before the battle will be shot."

Just as the officers supervising the battle swaggered and waved the weapons in their hands, there were fierce submachine gun shots from behind the buttocks of the defeated soldiers from the new division.

Chu chu chu, chug chug, very typical sound of the People's Liberation Army du li brigade's fast-firing weapon, that's right, it's an American Tommy submachine gun. The remaining personnel of the First Division could no longer resist the fear, and fled in all directions. In the chaos, the bridgehead position on the other side was successfully taken down by the Du Li Brigade.

A division of more than 5000 people was sent to attack the PLA's position. As a result, not only did the PLA's position fail to be taken, but they also made a counter-charge and lost their own position. The commander Ma Ying was so angry that he wanted to vomit blood.

In fact, Ma Ying is somewhat unreasonable. The new division is a unit that has never fought. It has not been formed for a long time. Most of the people are rookies who have just picked up weapons. He didn't even let go of his guns. It's too extravagant to expect any miracles from this army. If Ma Ying sent his old cavalry division [-]th Division up at the beginning of the battle, even if he couldn't take down the positions of the People's Liberation Army, he wouldn't be able to win. As for losing his position, Ma Ying was making unreasonable words.

Ma Ying's heart was flustered, beating like a drum, and pulling his breath like a bellows. He knew the importance of the Yellow River Iron Bridge too well. In Lanzhou City, there were still tens of thousands of Qingma Army brothers fighting street battles with the People's Liberation Army. Once the iron bridge was occupied by the People's Liberation Army, the result was known without thinking.

It's over, it's over, Ma Ying is sweating profusely, and his clothes are as wet as if he just fished them out of the water. This guy is staring at his blood-red eyes, and he is desperate.

"Come on, gather all the fourteenth brigade and eighth division for me, and mount the horses. The fourteenth brigade is in front, the eighth division is behind, everyone, etc., all rush up and fight with the communist army."

More than 1 cavalrymen were on their horses. Ma Ying pointed to the position of the du li brigade and shouted: "Brothers, the main force of our Qingma army is still in the city. If we don't take down the iron bridge, the commander-in-chief will not spare me. I can't spare you, I, Ma Ying, will definitely take you all on board before I lose my head. Today, even if I die, I will die on the bridge. Brothers, rush, hack all the communist army to death, and the officer who rushed over first Upgrade to level three."

The group of charging horses was like a dark cloud, the sound of the horses' hooves trampling the ground resounded miles away, and the shouts of the horse riders pierced the heart, Li Yong, the brigade commander on the other side of the iron bridge, sensed the enemy's desperate movements, and used The walkie-talkie asked how Li Jiangguo and Ma Quanyou were doing?Can the two infantry battalions hold their positions? If not, the main force of the brigade can support them at any time.

Li Jiangguo replied decisively in the walkie-talkie: "Don't worry, chief, there is no possibility of spitting out the meat in your mouth. Our two battalions are confident in fighting the enemy back."

The advantage of the cavalry is speed and impact. The biggest reliance of the infantry against the cavalry is firepower. In the old days of the Red Army, it was because of the firepower that they often suffered losses when fighting the Majia army. Think about it, a rotten rifle whose rifling is about to be worn out. , plus a few bullets, how can you fight against the large group of cavalry rushing up.

It's different now. The Du Li Brigade at this stage doesn't pay attention to the cavalry charge of the Majiajun at all. Facing the light and heavy machine guns and small cannons placed like hedgehogs in the Du Li Brigade, and the intensive charge of the crowd tactics, then It's just looking for abuse.

Two artillery platoons and more than forty small-caliber mortars fired first because of the distance of the shot. Previously, it was to protect the Yellow River Iron Bridge. The brigade commander ordered not to use artillery. This time it will work.

No one wants to watch the excitement when there are enough shells. This is the advantage of having a base in the rear. After the construction of the Longhai Railway, the resources in the rear can be continuously transported to the battlefield in the Northwest. "Boom, tom, tom", The soldiers reloaded and fired non-stop. The small red flag in the hands of the artillery platoon leader seemed to have infinite magic power at night. Every time it was waved, a batch of shells shot up into the sky, and they smashed heavily after a few seconds or ten seconds. Among the charging cavalry.

The trigger fuze detonates the moment it comes into contact with the ground or the human body, and the broken shrapnel penetrates into the human and horse's body at a very high speed under the force of the gunpowder, and then shreds the muscles and bones. Every explosion will take away Blood and minced meat all over the place.

Another feature of the cavalry charge is that it is very difficult to control when the horse is moving at full speed. To put it bluntly, it is a bit involuntary, so although the cavalry charge seems very sturdy, it is very difficult to maneuver when encountering problems. It's like buying and selling with a hammer, if you hit it, you will hit it, and if you don't hit it, you will be in danger.

The officers and soldiers of the Eighth Cavalry Division and the Fourteenth Brigade of the Qingma Army seemed to be numb. They charged on their horses, regardless of whether they could charge up or not, and charged with their eyes closed.

Li Jiangguo and Ma Quanyou watched the Majiajun cavalry charge closer and closer in the flames. When they rushed to more than 100 meters away from the machine gun position, they both shouted at the same time: "Fire."

The Maxim heavy machine gun fired in a fan-shaped swing, and the Czech light machine gun fired three rounds. The dark red ballistics intertwined into an impenetrable fire net. (To be continued..)
