The beacon of youth

Chapter 538

In the fortified battle of Niu Shou Mountain, the Du Li Brigade used three or four infantry battalions as sharp knife commandos to attack the top of the mountain. The covering firepower was the heavy artillery battalion and the high-speed machine gun battalion.

Before the army marched westward, Deputy Commander Zhang of the Field Army had brought much-needed ammunition for large-bore machine guns and artillery to the du li brigade, which made the du li brigade even more powerful. Just do it.

Ning Majun has also dealt with the People's Liberation Army before, and they all know that the Eight Routes in the Northwest are poor, not only poor, but poor scum, how poor is it?A main force brigade only had eight shells, which were specially approved by Boss Peng before the battle, and no one believed it, how many shells were specially approved by the commander-in-chief?But that's the way it is. The old troops of the Du Li Brigade, the Second Column and the Fourth Brigade served as the main attacking force in the battle of Panlong Town two years ago. For this reason, Boss Peng specially approved a few shells.

Two years ago, an Eighth Route who was poor and couldn’t eat, couldn’t put on pants, and didn’t have a few bullets in the barrel could have any energy. The Third Ningxia Security Division on Niu Shou Mountain took it for granted, but now it’s not the same. From the very beginning, they realized that it was a big mistake, and it was outrageously wrong. The attacking troops of the People's Liberation Army had extremely fierce firepower, and the infantry and artillery coordinated extremely closely. .

what to do?The fortifications and firepower points built by the Third Security Division on the front slope of Niushou Mountain were pulled out one by one. The soldiers inside were killed and buried alive one by one. The soldiers were terrified. In order to avoid the fierce artillery attack of the People's Liberation Army, the front-line defensive troops ran out of the fortifications and firepower points in batches, and ran behind the ridge line on the top of the mountain. attacked.

However, this is just an idiot's dream. Running behind the ridgeline can indeed avoid the direct artillery fire of the People's Liberation Army, but the attacking 64th Army is also equipped with a large number of curved howitzers, especially the du li brigade. The heavy howitzers are the artillery battalion main equipment.

Seeing the soldiers of the Ningma Army running to the top of the mountain in groups, Li Yong, the brigade commander, picked up the walkie-talkie and shouted: "Hey, is there Gao Xiang? Have you seen the enemy's movements?"

After the artillery battalion commander Gao Xiang gave a clear answer from the walkie-talkie, Li Yong shouted again: "Then what are you waiting for? Order the artillery to suppress the shooting and cover the attacking troops to rush forward. Also, the big guys in your battalion should use You have to use it, don’t be reluctant like a beggar.”

The big guy Li Yong was talking about was the five heavy-duty howitzers of the Howitzer Battalion. In the past, the Artillery Battalion had always regarded them as treasures, and they were reluctant to use them no matter how tense the battle was.

After all the shells were fired in the Battle of Lanzhou, these artillery pieces that made great contributions became famous. In order to get shells for them, even Deputy Commander Zhang Zongxun of the Field Army was alarmed. The cadres have a lot of face, and the current heavy artillery has plenty of food, and the shells are enough.

A series of artillery fire across the night sky, the heavy howitzers of the Duli Brigade concentrated their fire and fired under the order of the brigade commander Li Yong, and the shells flew over the top of the mountain in groups and exploded behind the ridge.

In the face of overwhelming firepower, it is not enough to simply run behind the ridgeline on the top of the mountain, but also to build solid anti-gun fortifications behind the ridgeline, referred to as reverse slope fortifications, so as to effectively resist the attack of the powerful side. However, this method was not gradually explored by the volunteers until after the Korean battlefield fought against the US military. How can the current Ningma Army understand these principles.

A simple and effective method is likely to be exchanged for the blood and lives of countless people. It is like a layer of window paper. Although it is very thin, it will never break if no one pokes it.

The shells flying over from the top of the mountain blasted the fleeing Ningma Army soldiers to nowhere to hide. There was an extremely violent explosion in the middle of several shells. The sound of the explosion was like a landslide and tsunami. There is no doubt that this extremely violent explosion It is the result of the explosion of the 150mm heavy howitzer shell.

The soldiers of the Ningma Army who ran towards the back mountain collapsed. A PLA artillery shell fell and knocked out a platoon. Dozens of people were wiped out in an instant.

There was blood and minced meat all over the ground, and around the blood and minced meat, there were still some bloody corpses lying in disorder. These corpses were not directly touched by the fragments of the shells, but were shocked to death by the violent explosion.

The soldiers were in a daze, running around aimlessly, and no officer told them what to do, how to avoid the PLA artillery fire, and the officer was also bombed like them, and the establishment was completely disrupted.

What is a security force? To put it bluntly, it is a force to maintain local law and order. To be more thorough, it is a force established to deal with common people's riots. Such a force can deal with rioting common people and fight small battles. It is extremely powerful in the face of attacks. The People's Liberation Army Field Corps is not enough to see, and coupled with the huge gap in weapons and equipment and combat concepts, Ningxia's Third Security Division can only be tortured and killed on Niu Shou Mountain.

Commander Zeng Siyu of the 64th Army of the People's Liberation Army calls this method of warfare "killing chickens with a sledgehammer" and "killing chickens with a sledgehammer". It's okay to beat you with an absolute superior force. I just bully you, so what can I do?

Break through, speed up the breakthrough, the two infantry battalions of the du li brigade followed behind the bombing point and attacked upwards, with the arrow pointing directly at the main peak position of Niu Shou Mountain.

If there is a solid firepower point, use the walkie-talkie to call the artillery behind you to deal with it. If it is easy to deal with it, use cluster grenades and explosives to clear it.

On the main peak of the mountain, at the headquarters of the Third Security Division of the Ningma Army, a terrified officer was shouting into the microphone: "Sir, the communist army's offensive is too fierce. All the positions were destroyed by shells, and the brothers died one by one, I asked for reinforcements, and they will be reinforced immediately, brothers, I really can't stand it anymore."

The caller was the supreme commander of the Ningma Army's Niushou Mountain position, the commander of the Third Security Division. This guy almost cried on the phone and asked the commander of the 128th Army for help.

Lingwu, the headquarters of the Ningma 128th Army, Commander Lu Zhongliang's face was livid. He did not expect that the PLA would use such a large force to attack Niu Shou Mountain, and he did not expect that the PLA would ignore the 128th Division, the main force of the 356th Army, and deal with it with all its strength. Local security guards.

Lu Zhongliang is a figure in the Majia Army in Ningxia, and he is also very prestigious in the circle of the Ningma Army where the officers surnamed Ma account for the vast majority. He has carefully studied the tactics of the People's Liberation Army. In his opinion, the People's Liberation Army must first use the main force to besiege The 356th Division in Jinji City, as long as a little is destroyed, the entire 128th Army will collapse, and this is exactly what Lu Zhongliang hopes. If the People's Liberation Army can really storm Jinji, he will order the 356th Division in Jinji City to use the tall city walls The fortifications were defended, and the 20rd Security Division on Niushou Mountain and the 356th Cavalry Brigade outside the city were supported from both sides, but now it seems that everything is different from what he expected. The PLA did not attack Jinji's 356th Division as he imagined. , but use the main force to encircle and wipe out the Third Security Division on the mountain first. Once the Third Security Division is wiped out by the People's Liberation Army, the commanding heights outside Jinji City will be gone, and it will be difficult for the [-]th Division to carry out effective defense.

It seems that it is impossible to send reinforcements to the Third Security Division, but which troops to send for reinforcements is another question that is difficult to think about.

The 256th Division and the military headquarters are in Lingwu, so they can no longer be counted on. Now there are two troops that can quickly support Niu Shou Mountain, namely the 356th Division that guards the Jinji and the 20th Cavalry Brigade that is cruising outside.

Having made up his mind, Lu Zhongliang decided to use the 356th Division and the 20th Cavalry Brigade to reinforce the Third Security Division on Niushou Mountain.

The 128th Division of the 356th Army dispatched from Jinji City after receiving the order. The officers and soldiers were all unwilling to go to rescue the Third Security Division?Just kidding, if you haven't seen the artillery fire of the People's Liberation Army, you won't let us go if you see it.

The 128th Division of the 356th Army guarding Jinji was frightened by the artillery fire of the PLA attacking Niu Shou Mountain. Good guy, it seems that Niu Shou Mountain has to be cut off by shells. He fucks, cats are not in the fortifications in Jinji City Be sure, once we go out of the city to rescue the Third Security Division, we will not be bombarded by the artillery of the People's Liberation Army like the brothers on the mountain. Isn't this asking us to court death?

But a military order is a military order, and there are orders from above, so if you don’t want to go, you have to go. The 356th Division, which was dawdling, set off anyway, and the soldiers marched forward holding their big guns shyly.

In charge of monitoring Jinji City is the Du Li First Division and the Du Li Second Division of the Northwest Military Region of the People's Liberation Army (not Ma Hongbin's uprising troops. The designation of Ma Hongbin's uprising troops is the Du Li Second Army of the Northwest Military Region of the People's Liberation Army). I got impatient with the wait, and I was very itchy to see other troops fighting lively. I wished that the 356th Division of the Ningma Army in Jinji City didn't come out sooner, so that we could fight a battle. Everyone knows that Ningma The army was about to die, and it would be too late if he didn't take the opportunity to get some credit at this time.

It was hard to wait for the 356th Division to leave the city. The soldiers of the two divisions seized the opportunity to fight hard, all kinds of firepower came together, and the 356th Division was beaten to the point of crying.

The troops of the two divisions used firepower to cut off the 356th Division of the Ningma Army that had left the city, and then cut them into several small sections.

The fierce battle lasted less than an hour, and the 356th Division that had left the city was completely defeated. Except for those who were wiped out by the PLA, the rest plunged into the city without saying anything.

Zandonghai exercise, the People's Navy is moving forward, and the People's Navy is moving forward.
