The beacon of youth

Chapter 519 Battle of Lanzhou

The Qingma Army guarding the Iron Bridge of the Yellow River has three units, namely the New First Division, the Eighth Cavalry Division and the Fourteenth Cavalry Brigade. After the new division lost its combat effectiveness, the commander Ma Ying decided to fight with the Communist Army. If you want to die, you will be killed and the net will be broken, and you will use all your strength to use the entire force of the Eighth Division and the Fourteenth Brigade to charge to the death. {friend upload update}

On the bridgehead position of the Du Li brigade, the light and heavy machine guns and small artillery of the first and second battalions fired at full strength, weaving the forward position into a death net with bullets and shells.

The fallen horses and personnel were in pieces, piles, and groups, like boiling soup and snow, and the charging troops of the Ma family army were like melted slush, merging with the ground under their feet.

Li Jiangguo, the commander of the first battalion, and Ma Quanyou, the commander of the second battalion, are both soldiers from the Eighth Route Army. , or the Kuomintang's self-made weapons, which can be used when touched, and are accurate when used. This is also a skill that was forced out when there was no other way. There are still many veterans like them in the PLA troops. Who made it impossible for us to produce weapons ourselves! !

The fierce battle made the palms of the two of them itch, and the itch was unbearable. Li Jiangguo and Ma Quanyou pushed away the soldiers of their battalion, and took up the Maxim heavy machine gun to shoot.

Huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, the long-lost vibration from the grip of the heavy machine gun made Li Jiangguo and Ma Quan feel very comfortable. This feeling is good, two words, comfortable.

Combination of long and short point she.Bullets were shot out in strings, and dead people and horses fell one by one. They grabbed the handle of the heavy machine gun and shot violently.It's so fucking fun, Li Jiangguo and Ma Quan kept shouting: "Ammunitionist, get ready, go and move another box of bullets, hurry up, what are you dawdling about? The enemy ran away and I followed you!" It's not over, kid."

Amid the shouts, a box of ammunition was brought over, and the lid of the box was opened.Huang Chengcheng's bullets were full all of a sudden, and it made people happy to watch. Li Jiangguo was happy and scolded his mother happily: "Damn it. When did the Eighth Route Army become so rich? Heavy machine gun bullets can be stored in a box, what a luxury!" .”

The visitor skillfully reloaded the emptied heavy machine gun. More than 300 rounds of ammunition chains were enough for these cavalrymen of the Ma family army to drink a pot. However, Mr. Li Jiangguo felt that something was wrong.What's wrong? ? ?

Li Jiangguo, who turned his head to observe suddenly, understood that the ones who came to carry the bullets just now were not the deputy shooter and the ammunitionist, nor the old shooter who was pushed away by him, but the brigade commander Li Yong. {friend upload update}

Brigadier Li Yong became the deputy shooter.Li Jiangguo still gave the heavy machine gun in his hand to the soldiers beside him, slipped out and dragged Li Yong to the hiding place.He ran and shouted: "Ma Quanyou, you bastard. How did you command the battle? How did you get the brigade commander to come up?"

Ma Quanyou also saw the brigade commander Li Yong coming up, Ma Quanyou was so depressed, so depressed, he was nainai, Li Jiangguo said everything, for a long time it seemed that he was not a human being inside and outside .

The three of them returned to the hiding place together, and Li Jiangguo and Ma Quanyou breathed a sigh of relief: "Brigade Commander, why did you touch it? It's too dangerous."

Li Yong was noncommittal: "Is it dangerous or not? Didn't we fight in the trenches the same way before? We became coquettish when we became brigade commanders? It's not that bad."

Li Jiangguo and Ma Quanyou chuckled: "Brigade Commander, you don't have to come over. Don't look at the Ma's army charging fiercely. If they don't come up, I guess another thousand or eight hundred people will be killed to scare them away."

"Jiangguo, Quanyou, it's not a good way to scare them away. It's best to wipe them all out. Think about it, most of the soldiers of the Ma family army are habitual bandits. Once the troops are dispersed, they may become bandits again. , This will be very detrimental to our work in the liberated areas in the future, it is best to take advantage of this good opportunity to wipe out all of them cleanly, so as to solve our worries."

Li Jiangguo and Ma Quanyou looked at each other. Both of them were veterans, and they could understand Li Yong, the commander of the brigade, but understanding was different from being able to do it. The first battalion and the second battalion were infantry, relying on strong It is not a problem to knock down the charging cavalry in a positional battle, but it is difficult to completely wipe out the cavalry. It is impossible to catch up with the cavalry on two legs. The problem raised by the brigade commander exceeds the capabilities of the two infantry battalions .

Li Yong saw what the two of them were thinking: "What are you two guys thinking? Of course you can't rely on your two battalions. I discussed it with the political commissar. Wait a moment to transfer the tank battalion of Lao Jiang and Li Yuming, and use the three battalions. Probably about the same.”

It is of course good to be able to bring up the tank battalion. The cavalry is no different from hitting an egg on a rock when they meet an iron guy. Will the transfer of the tank battalion affect the overall combat effectiveness of the troops who ran out of Lanzhou City to intercept the task? ? ?

Li Yong and Li Jiangguo returned to Ma Quan. These twenty or so veterans had fought and lived together for more than two years, and they knew each other's habits and tempers very well. He knew what they were worried about.

"Haha, don't worry, our brigade has ten battalions, use your three battalions to deal with Ma Ying, let's block the gap, the enemy who can run out of the city are defeated rebels, without much fighting power, Let me tell you, even if your three battalions can't help, the political commissar and I don't want to use Gao Xiang's heavy artillery battalion and Wei Gang's high-speed machine gun battalion, use Wang Huo's three infantry battalions, and Zhang Jinsong's reconnaissance battalion That's enough."

Second Battalion Commander Ma Quanyou asked curiously: "Brigadier, why don't you use Gao Xiang and Wei Gang?"

"The reason is very simple. Lanzhou City is ours. It's a pity to destroy it with cannons. After the war, we have to rebuild it. It's easy to destroy it, but it's hard to rebuild it. I don't know how much manpower and material resources it will cost. So, can we not use it?" Cannons should not be used as much as possible. Besides, shells don’t have eyes, and once they fall into the homes of ordinary people, they will break down, and a single shell will bleed. As for the problem of anti-aircraft machine guns, the problem is even simpler. The ammunition we seized can’t keep up with their consumption , The logistics troops of the field army have not been supplied, and it is still unclear whether it is because we cannot produce, or it is a transportation problem, anyway, at this stage, we should save some time."

Finally, Li Yong explained: "The two infantry battalions and one tank battalion are under the unified command of the first battalion commander, Li Jiangguo. How to fight the battle is up to you to study and decide. The political commissar and I will not interfere. There is only one central meaning. All the bridge guards of the Qingma Army were wiped out."

After explaining the task, Li Yong hurried back to the other side of the big iron bridge in the dark. Not long after, Li Yuming, the instructor of the tank battalion, also came up to him.

As soon as Li Yuming entered the hidden department, he yelled: "Battlemaster Li, the brigade commander assigned our battalion to your first battalion again, but this time, you can't have bad intentions, like the battle of the battalion leader, you don't have to We can't."

Li Jiangguo shook his head in anger: "What do you mean by having a bad heart? You guys are talking nonsense all over the world. Isn't it a good thing if you can't use it!! This shows that our du li brigade has a strong fighting capacity."

"I don't care whether they are strong or not, anyway, this battle cannot be done without our tank battalion."

Li Jiangguo: "All right, all right, I'll definitely use your tank battalion, if you don't use it, you can't. Our two infantry battalions can't catch up with the enemy's horseshoes. How is your battalion prepared?"

Li Yuming is the instructor of the tank battalion. He is of the same level as Li Jiangguo, the commander of the first battalion, but his qualifications are not as good as 01:30. Everything is ready for the tank battalion, the fuel is full, the engine is on, and it can start when there is an order."

Li Jiangguo: "Okay, hurry back and control the troops, try to get closer to the bridge, follow my orders, and the attack will start in half an hour."

Li Yong entrusted Li Jiangguo, the commander of the First Battalion, with the task of destroying the bridge guards of the Qingma Army, because he knew that Li Jiangguo was a veteran soldier with rich experience in the battlefield. It would be no problem to command such a battle, and there was no need for him to do everything himself. Do it yourself.

Li Jiangguo asked Li Yuming to gather the tank troops as close to the bridge as possible. It can be seen that this guy's head is very useful, and half an hour is enough.

Smoking tanks and armored vehicles drove over one after another, followed the springboard to the bridge, and the front one had already arrived at the headquarters of Li Jiangguo and Ma Quanyou.

Ma Ying commanded the Eighth Cavalry Division and the Fourteenth Brigade, as well as the personnel of the new division that had not been dispersed. The impact on the bridgehead position of the People's Liberation Army had lasted for more than half an hour. One piece was knocked down to the ground, and human life was as fragile as an ant.

Ma Ying, who stared at the blood-red eyes, had no sympathy, this guy thought crazily, the **** is here, the communists and wives, anyway, he will not have a good life in the future, so it is better to fight all of them at once Yes, maybe there is still a way out.

Driven by this kind of luck, Ma Ying became more and more crazy, and commanded the troops to fight to the death. After half an hour, Ma Ying felt that the gunfire on the PLA positions in front gradually became thinner.

what happened? ?Could it be that the communist army's ammunition is not available?It is very possible that Ma Ying was ecstatic at the thought of this: "Brothers, the ammunition of the communist army is almost exhausted, so go up with more force, take back the bridge, and rescue the brothers in the city. A big credit, when the time comes, I will go to the old commander (Ma Bufang) and the commander-in-chief (Ma Jiyuan) to personally recommend combat meritorious personnel, and guarantee you to be promoted to the third rank, with beautiful women in your arms, and fine horses to ride, brothers, go ahead."

The thinning out of the gunfire was entirely a strategy of Li Jiangguo, the commander of the first battalion. Li Jiangguo believed that if he wanted to kill as many enemies as possible, he must launch a surprise attack on them, and the protagonist of this attack mission was the tank battalion.
