The beacon of youth

() County magistrate Ai Baidula poured cold water on the confident Yilier:

"Miss, it's not that I want to discourage the morale of the brothers, it's because you don't understand Yiwu's situation, ** has set up a material supply station in our county very early, and the ammunition and food reserves in it are very sufficient. Three hundred communist soldiers can’t finish it for several years, trying to trap them to death?? It’s too difficult.”

Yi Lier's heart was chilled by Abaidula's speech. Unexpectedly, I did not expect that Yiwu's communist army would be so difficult to deal with. It not only has a strong will to fight, but also has a large supply station. What should I do?

Just when Yilier was frowning, Abaidula, the local snake, also proposed a solution: "Miss, don't worry, the siege is not useless at all, the communist army in Yiwu City has food and drink. But it doesn’t mean that all the communists are like them. You can see that the Beishan position occupied by the communist army has nothing, not to mention food, and even drinks have to be delivered from the mountain. We can’t kill the people in the city Can the communist army trap the communist army on Beishan? As long as Beishan can be taken down, everything will be easy."..

It really made Ai Baidula right. It is very difficult to trap the troops in Yiwu City, but it is much easier to deal with the People's Liberation Army on Beishan. Apart from the various fortifications temporarily dug out by the Communist Army on the bare Beishan What can there be?Can there be food?Can I have ammo?Can I have water to drink?

This is a method, and it is also the weakness of Hu Qingshan and the soldiers. Due to the constraints of geographical conditions, the Beishan position is indeed afraid of being besieged. For the tentative attack, the People's Liberation Army on Beishan took the method of resolute siege, adjusted the focus of the attack, first took the commanding height of Beishan position, and then launched a large-scale attack on Yiwu County.

This is the advantage of being familiar with the terrain, and it is still useful to fight a war.

The bandit's method changed again. While using multiple tentative attacks, they also besieged the Beishan position. They used various firepower and digging trenches to cut off all connections between the city and the Beishan, and starved the People's Liberation Army on the mountain to death. die of thirst.

After several changes in the style of play, the bandits' superiority in personnel gradually emerged. They used a small group of troops to harass and contain the People's Liberation Army troops in the city, and resolutely besieged the Beishan defenders. This gave Hu Qingshan and the soldiers on Beishan They bring a very real problem how to transport food and ammunition up.

Beishan is no better than the city. The city has food, wells, and a large amount of ammunition reserves. The bandit’s policy of fortifying the walls and clearing the wilderness will not help. Shang Hu Qingshan and the soldiers have already prepared. The food and ammunition on the Beishan position can last for a while. At present, the most worrying thing is the problem of drinking water for the troops. The fifty or so young men can't solve it with the water bottles they carry. The problem is, in addition, there is a water-cooled Maxim heavy machine gun attached to the mountain. These two guys are also big drinkers of water. No water?Not even a machine gun could fire.

Replenishing drinking water for the Beishan position was a headache. Although the bandits couldn't attack, they blocked all the roads up the mountain with firepower, and the soldiers couldn't get down.

No matter what, it is impossible for people not to drink water, even if there is a blockade, it is necessary to replenish drinking water for the soldiers on the mountain every few days. Every time the road up the mountain is like a road to death.

Hu Qingshan initially used camels to carry water up the mountain, but the camels were too big and moved very slowly, so they were easy to be hit when passing the bandit's fire blockade, so every time he resupplied the mountain, there were casualties of people and livestock , the situation becomes complicated.

The soldiers on the Beishan position were very uncomfortable. Seeing the frequent casualties of the comrades who brought water to themselves, they couldn't think of a good way. Every pot of water was exchanged by their comrades with their lives and blood. For this reason, some soldiers became anxious.

The highest commander on the Beishan position is the platoon leader of the second platoon. In order to stabilize everyone's emotions, this old soldier came up with a very weird method. He took the soldiers to make a bet and asked everyone to guess and wait for the main force of the brigade to come to the rescue. What will it be like when the brigade commander Li Yong will deal with these bandits, hehe, I am looking forward to it.

Now everyone's interest is up, isn't it? After being besieged for so many days, the troops suffered a lot of casualties. If the brigade commander finds out about this guy, he might as well chew up and eat all these bandits!Well, almost.

Yiwu has been besieged for more than ten days, and there is still no sign of reinforcements. If you change to another army, you may break up without fighting, but the characteristics of the PLA's usual political work are reflected here. Big, but the fighting spirit is not low at all. The soldiers believe that as long as the main force of the brigade gets the news, as long as their brigade commander Li Yong gets the news, the comrades will definitely come to the rescue. As long as we can persevere, the victory will be ours sooner or later.

The brigade commander Li Yong's temper is clear to all the old soldiers, he is a guy who can't see his own people's losses and see his soldiers being wronged. you.

In the afternoon of this day, the sky was overcast, and there were snowflakes in the Yiwu area again. Gradually, the snow fell bigger and bigger, and the heavy snow dyed the world into a vast expanse of whiteness.

In such a snowy day, people's vision is limited, which is also a good time for the bandits to attack. Hu Qingshan, who has rich combat experience, dare not neglect, and led a few soldiers to patrol the area to be defended.

Braving the wind and snow, the two soldiers were lying behind a low wall. Their camouflage suits made of white sheets were covered with a thick layer of snowflakes. The weapons were two guys with one long and one short, a Tom A submachine gun, a [-]-type rifle, and a few grenades beside them, all the belongings of the two soldiers are here.

These two soldiers were located very forward, they should be the two observation posts that Hu Qingshan placed at the front of the line of defense. From the thickness of the snowflakes falling on their bodies, it can be seen that the soldiers have been lying here for a while.

Hu Qingshan, who came to the front, also lay down in the snowdrift like the soldiers. He touched the cold hands of the two soldiers, and said distressedly: "How is it? Can you persist?"

The two soldiers replied indifferently: "Deputy Battalion Commander, it's nothing special. We haven't seen any scenes, so what's the matter with the cold spots? Thinking about how big the battle was and how difficult it was when we fought in Lanzhou, isn't it?" Also let us deal with the enemy."

The words of the soldiers made Hu Qingshan feel very comfortable. Even though it was a cold day, his body was also warm. Hey, it is good to have veterans. Two veterans can fill a squad, so you can rest assured wherever you put it.

"What's the matter?" Hu Qingshan asked.

A soldier replied: "The two of us have been lying here for more than two hours. Nothing happened. The bandits didn't know what happened today. Not only did they not make any tentative attacks, they didn't even fire their guns. Maybe It’s because the weather is so cold and the snow is so heavy that they have been frozen back.”

Another said: "It's not that nothing happened. Ten minutes ago, a flock of sheep came right in front of our defense line. They walked in the direction of our defense. It was probably more than 100 meters away."

A group of people come over in the cold weather?It happened to be walking in the direction of the defense line. Is there such a coincidence!Hu Qingshan's heart skipped a beat, and Hu Qingshan, who was lying behind the low wall, took out a telescope to observe carefully.

It's no wonder that Hu Qingshan was guilty of calculations. According to the information obtained from the interrogation of the prisoners, one of the strategies discussed by the Yiwu bandits was that they wanted to learn from the way the Communist Army dealt with the Japanese people back then, and also give them a strong wall to clear the country, and wipe out all capable people. All the usable food and supplies were taken away, so that the communist army couldn't get any supplies that could be used. Hu Qingshan, who was familiar with his army's methods, could of course see what the bandits were thinking.

The bandit's strong wall and clearing the field did bring some troubles to the two platoons and the work team of the first battalion. However, there was such a supply station during the Kuomintang period in the city. It is not normal for a flock of sheep to appear. Putting a flock of sheep near the defense line of the People's Liberation Army is called a strong wall to clear the field. Didn't they deliberately deliver food to the defenders? The bandits would not be so stupid.

Isn't that right? The soldiers saw it right. In the sight of the binoculars, there really was a flock of sheep walking towards the direction the soldiers wanted to defend. Although the wind and snow were heavy, they could still be seen vaguely. That's right, they were sheep, but those damn things The walking posture of the sheep is quite strange, not to mention the slow speed, one by one, their buttocks are pouted forward, and they stop for a while every time they walk, as if they are waiting or observing something. Hu Qingshan, who has watched the situation He sneered and said:

"Damn it, is there a sheep that walks like this?? I've never seen one in my life, rifle."

A [-]-type rifle was handed over, Hu Qingshan loaded it, and pointed the muzzle of the gun at the sheep crawling forward in the hazy wind and snow.

Stretched the gun out along the gap in the low wall, erected the ruler, breathed steadily, lightly pulled the trigger with the index finger of his right hand, fired a bullet from a [-]-type rifle, and the bullet used [-] In a few seconds, it shot in from the sheep, and then went out with a spray of blood. The [-] bullets with strong penetrating power penetrated into another sheep after piercing through one sheep. in the body.

Killed two sheep with one shot, Hu Qingshan was not satisfied, but continued to aim the muzzle of the gun at the next target, followed by another shot, and another spurt of blood, followed by the five rounds in the magazine. All the bullets were fired, Hu Qingshan put the empty gun aside.

With a tacit understanding, a soldier handed over another fully loaded rifle. Hu Qingshan shot two more shots in a row, and blood sprayed from the bodies of two more sheep.
