The beacon of youth

Chapter 539 The Battle Without Suspense

The 356th Division of the Ningma Army, who was ordered to go out of the city to reinforce, was beaten head-on by two Du Li divisions of the People's Liberation Army who were in charge of monitoring them. The third division, and even the 356th division almost confessed.

The officers and soldiers who were lucky enough to run back said one after another: "The People's Liberation Army has been prepared for a long time, so what reinforcements are mentioned, whoever loves will go, I will not go."

The loss of at least one-third of the troops made the officers and soldiers of the 356th Division panic, and they no longer dared to go out of the city for rescue operations.

The 356th Division is being honest, but it doesn’t mean that all the enemies will admit defeat. ** said that if the broom does not reach, the garbage will not run away by itself. The 20th Ningma Cavalry Brigade cruising around the Jinji area bypassed the surveillance of the 64th Army of the People’s Liberation Army The defense line of the troops launched an attack on our army's troops attacking Niu Shou Mountain from the side.

This is the capability of the cavalry, it can carry out large-scale long-distance maneuvers, and it is indeed bypassing the sight of the surveillance troops. The method is very vicious, and the timing and location of the choice are just right.

The three main division brigades of the 64th Army of our army were attacking the third security division of the Ningma Army on Niushou Mountain with all their strength. The 20th Cavalry Brigade suddenly stabbed from the side and back. So as to rescue the three security divisions who were in a desperate situation.

A flat Gobi grassland is suitable for cavalry. The 6000th Cavalry Brigade, with more than 20 people, under the cover of night, quietly crossed the defense line of the 64th Army and launched an attack on our army's troops attacking Niu Shou Mountain.

The horseshoes are like dense drumbeats, and the charge launched by thousands of cavalry is huge. I have to say that the action of the 20th Cavalry Brigade is one of the few actions that have threatened our army since the 64th Corps of the People's Liberation Army entered Ningxia. A brigade, but made good use of its own advantages, using the rapid assault of the cavalry to blitz the mountain attacking troops of the [-]th Army.

It can be seen that the commander of the 20th Cavalry Brigade of the Ningma Army has a certain tactical thinking. He believes that despite the large scale of the People's Liberation Army, most of them are infantry. As slow as a snail, as long as their cavalry can rush up and rush to the middle of the infantry, they will cause heavy casualties to the infantry.

This is indeed the way cavalry fights against infantry. When fighting in plain areas, once the cavalry is allowed to come up to close combat, it is actually a nightmare for the infantry. The fast-attacking cavalry can cut the infantry into countless small pieces, and then eat them in one bite. If the infantry wants to avoid being cut, they must block the cavalry with firepower within a certain distance, and do not give them a chance to come up, so that they can hope to win.

The commander of the 20th Cavalry Brigade did not think that the People's Liberation Army could stop them, because it was dark, and the troops of the People's Liberation Army were fighting fiercely with the Third Security Division on the mountain. We must be able to rush to the front of the infantry of the People's Liberation Army, and then…………….

The idea is very good, and the tactics of the cavalry are also used against the enemy. It is a pity that what they encountered was the du li brigade of the People's Liberation Army.

The du li brigade used a reconnaissance battalion to solve the safety of the Yellow River embankment, used three and four infantry battalions to attack Niu Shou Mountain, and used the heavy howitzer battalion and high-shelf machine gun battalion to provide fire cover for the attacking troops, that is to say, So far, the du li brigade has only five battalions (reconnaissance battalion, third battalion, fourth battalion, howitzer battalion, and machine gun battalion) participating in the battle, as well as three infantry combat battalions, one, two, and five, one tank battalion, one The supply battalion did not participate in the battle, and at least half of the troops in the hands of brigade commander Li Yong and political commissar Wang Chengde remained unused.

The horseshoes of thousands of horses are running like drums. Everyone knows that there is a large group of cavalry coming, and a soldier in charge of vigilance on the periphery ran over: "Brigade Commander, there are a large number of cavalry approaching me, there is still about a distance away." about a kilometer."

In fact, brigade commander Li Yong and political commissar Wang Chengde had already received the news, and the earliest news had already been transmitted through the walkie-talkie.

The distance of about 1000 meters is just an instant for the cavalry, but what surprised them was that there was a huge roar from the PLA position they were about to attack. The roar was louder than thousands of horses running together. Get up louder.

what happened?What are the noises coming from the PLA positions?Is it a tank?The officers and soldiers of the Ningma Army are not all useless, some smart guys can guess something from the voice, but they are immediately denied by themselves. How many tanks are needed to make such a big noise? ?Even if there are tanks on the Eighth Road, there will not be so many!

Although I have doubts, I can only continue to charge forward. The horse has entered the sprint stage of exerting strength. At this time, even if there are mountains of swords and seas of fire ahead, I still have to charge.

The distance was approaching quickly, and the troops on both sides were charging. The difference was that the Ningma Army charged their elite cavalry, while the People's Liberation Army Duli Brigade charged the armored tank battalion.

More than 100 tanks and armored vehicles, increased their horsepower, and rushed forward with the accelerator pedal. After receiving the order from the brigade commander Li Yong, the soldiers were elated and worried that there would be no battle. This guy was delivered to the door. I really have what I want, one word, cool.

The sky is dark and the sight is very limited. By the moonlight, you can only see groups of black shadows. When the distance is only tens of meters away, you can see clearly. The troops that the People's Liberation Army greeted are not infantry, but one by one. A steel monster emitting green smoke.

Pulling the steering column back with both hands, stepping on the accelerator hard to the bottom, the tank with its muzzle high roared over, the momentum was extremely shocking.

The two troops charging at each other collided head-on, just like two ocean waves hitting each other together, the waves aroused soared into the sky, and the scene was chaotic.

What is the nature of the armored force?It is the natural nemesis of the cavalry. When the cavalry meets the armored soldiers, it is like meeting a natural enemy. There is no way to fight against it.

Crushing, ramming, and constantly sweeping with machine guns, the tank battalion is like a tiger entering a herd of sheep, turning people upside down wherever they go, and every tank and armored vehicle opens a flesh and blood alley with a steel body.

The cavalrymen of the Ningma Army used their sabers to cut a row of sparks on the steel body of the tank, but that was of no use. In a moment, these brave knights became a pile of minced meat under the tank's tracks.

Li Yuming, the instructor of the tank battalion, likes to fight this kind of battle the most. Using tanks to deal with cavalry is simply too enjoyable, it is a one-sided massacre.

There is a reason why the tank is called the king of land warfare. A tank is a combination of a spear and a shield. It has powerful attack capabilities and thick armor protection. It is perfect to use such a combination to deal with cavalry up.

Charge, charge non-stop, command troops to penetrate deep into the enemy and at the same time encircle them on both sides. Don't look at the People's Liberation Army who rushed up with only one tank battalion, but this battalion-level troop was confronting a cavalry brigade It has an overwhelming advantage.

The chaotic scene lasted only about ten minutes, and then there was a sudden rout. There was really no way, no matter how brave cavalry encountered armored troops, they could only be slaughtered, just like a tribal warrior holding a kitchen knife met A modern soldier with a submachine gun, no matter how brave he is, cannot escape the fate of being wiped out.

Li Yong, the brigade commander, was not at all worried about whether the tank battalion could win. In other words, he didn't pay attention to the 20th Cavalry Brigade at all. Come charge, what suspense can there be in such a battle.

In the cars of the battalion commander Jiang Tiexiong and the instructor Li Yuming, the voice of the brigade commander Li Yong sounded at the same time: "Expand the attack and search range, pay attention to encircling the two sides, and try to wipe out the enemy while defeating them."

Most of the more than 100 tanks and armored vehicles in the tank battalion are old models, but these old tanks and armored vehicles also have a great advantage over ordinary infantry. Each vehicle has a wireless communication system. Yes, the American m4, Stuart, and Soviet-style t26 can use wireless communication to conduct real-time command, which was already a great improvement for the Northwest People's Liberation Army at that time.

On this basis, the du li brigade equipped battalion commander Jiang Tiexiong and instructor Li Yuming with an additional walkie-talkie, allowing Jiang Tiexiong and Li Yuming to use the wireless system to command battles and at the same time accept orders from their superiors. This humble move was already regarded as a revolutionary progress in the People's Liberation Army at that time.

I originally wanted to take advantage of the chaos to pick up a cheap cavalry brigade. I didn't expect to meet my nemesis armored unit. The two armies collided and lasted for only ten minutes. After that, it developed into a big rout. Run wildly on the road.

The organizational system of the 20th Brigade was disrupted, and the battle was overwhelmingly defeated. If it was an ordinary contest with the infantry, it would be very remarkable to be able to defeat the cavalry. It is basically impossible to wipe out the cavalry, because the infantry is no matter what It can't keep up with the speed of the cavalry, but Li Yong, the brigade commander, will not be satisfied. Of course it won't work just to defeat it. Didn't you see what troops our du li brigade dispatched?The troops of our People's Liberation Army also have strong assault capabilities. The speed that the Ningma Army takes for granted is no longer an advantage in front of the tanks and armored vehicles of the Du Li Brigade.

Jiang Tiexiong and Li Yuming led the troops around from both sides, chasing after the horseshoes of the cavalry, the chaotic troops ran in all directions, the horse cavalry who were busy fleeing for their lives did not even look back, they just focused on whipping the horses. butt.

The vision in the dark night is very bad, and the perspective of the periscope of the tank is limited. After chasing, the driver simply rolled up the seat and exposed half of his head.
