The beacon of youth

() The throttle is at the end, the joystick is pulled to the end, the tanks are flying forward, hundreds of tanks and armored vehicles charge together, the roar of the motor shakes the whole field, and can be clearly heard several kilometers away.

The First Battalion of Infantry, under the leadership of their battalion commander Li Jiangguo and instructors, followed the tanks' buttocks and followed up desperately. Regardless of the speed of the tanks and armored vehicles, the infantry did not pull down a step. Accompanied by personnel, rush down to the forefront.

The first battalion was besieged with more than 200 soldiers. Perhaps it was due to carelessness. Battalion Commander Li Jiangguo didn't realize it in time. This commander from the old Eighth Route Army was deeply guilty of the losses caused to the troops due to his mistakes. , so Li Jiangguo appeared extremely fierce in this battle. He ordered all the soldiers in the battalion to follow the tank no matter how fast it was running, and he would not spare anyone who had loose bowels.

The usual harsh physical training was effective at this time. After several kilometers in a row, the soldiers did not pull down a single one. All of them rushed behind the tank troops just like their battalion commander.

The first battalion has a machine gun platoon and a small artillery platoon. The equipment they have to carry is much heavier than that of ordinary infantry. The water-cooled Maxim heavy machine gun weighs more than 50 kilograms. Adding ammunition is terrifying, and mortars are even more unnecessary. Having said that, the artillery plates, artillery mounts, and barrels are being resisted by the soldiers separately, and the artillery platoon still has to carry a large number of artillery shells, which carry a heavy load. It's time to test them. . .

Charge, charge, follow the troops, follow the tanks, the soldiers of the heavy machine gun and tank platoons were panting and sweating profusely, and the two platoon leaders were still encouraging the soldiers while they were running:

"Comrades, the battalion commander's order did not distinguish between heavy machine guns and mortars, but asked our entire battalion to follow the tanks and advance in a surprise attack. "

The soldiers of the heavy machine gun platoon and artillery platoon gritted their teeth and followed up.They want to provide the most direct fire support for their comrades, so even if they are exhausted, they have to keep up.

Because the bandits did not have anti-tank weapons, in order to facilitate driving, the drivers rolled up their seats during the first few kilometers, exposing their heads to the outside. The instructor Li Yuming even lifted the cover of the tank turret. While charging, the troops did not forget to take a look at the infantry following behind.

Li Yuming saw the soldiers of the first battalion closely following the tank, and saw the vicious face of the battalion commander Li Jiangguo.

Seeing this, this very competitive guy couldn't help admiring him.Needless to say, the soldiers in the first battalion were all doing well. After several kilometers, none of them had diarrhea, and they all kept running at a uniform speed.

After closing the cover of the tank turret with a snap, Li Yuming yelled an order through the car radio: "The whole battalion has them. Prepare combat grenades."

The second gunner (ammunitionist) clicked and loaded the shell, and then shouted back to their instructor's order: "Grenade is ready."

A grenade is a fragmentation explosive device developed specifically to kill personnel.It is also a special ammunition for armored soldiers to deal with infantry.The bandits besieging Yiwu didn't have tanks or armored vehicles, so they didn't need to prepare any armor-piercing projectiles for confrontation with armored troops. Li Yuming could safely and boldly kill the enemy's infantry and cavalry with grenades.

The tank troops and the infantry of the first battalion were advancing in a crushing posture across mountains and seas. The roar of the engine motors shook the sky, and the troops' offensive was like overwhelming mountains and seas.With such a large formation, both the enemy and the enemy in the entire Yiwu Theater understand that it is the main tank unit of the People's Liberation Army that has begun to attack.

Around Yiwu, the headquarters of the rebel bandits.

Yilier, who is usually a very strong woman, opened her eyes wide in horror.The body trembled involuntarily.

That's it!That's it!Just now they were about to attack the PLA's position, but a sudden burst of artillery blasted the bandits who hadn't had time to set off to pieces.

They are all large-caliber heavy artillery shells, and every time they are fired, a large number of people will be killed or injured. The People's Liberation Army uses large-scale bombing tactics. Any creature in the area hit by the artillery fire has no possibility of escaping at all, and all objects are completely destroyed. ash.

Gao Xiang's artillery battalion is too rich. The artillery shells accumulated by the troops since they entered Xinjiang are enough for them to fight for a while. Hundreds of shells were thrown over, and thousands of shells were thrown over. The ground was full of flames and corpses. Yilier's subordinates suffered too many casualties, and they were too wronged. Pile and piles of them were blown up before seeing the shadow of the communist army. The battle was almost impossible to fight.

Yilier is a very powerful bandit, and also a very intelligent bandit, but a bandit is always a bandit. What she has experienced is nothing more than tribal fights, firefights, and robberies. She has never experienced attacks on large troops. In other words, she had never seen such a powerful artillery fire falling overhead, and she was shocked when the artillerymen of the People's Liberation Army made their first salvo.

Several officers from the Seventh Cavalry Division ran over. The predecessor of the Seventh Cavalry Division was the Fifth Qinghai Cavalry Army of the Kuomintang Ma Bufang. It was defeated by the People's Liberation Army during the Battle of Lanzhou. They are more experienced than Yilier in this situation.

"Miss, hurry up and withdraw, the Communist Army's large troops are coming up."

Yilier's lips trembled: "Why did the communist army come so quickly? They just withdrew like this? More than 6000 people shot and fought for more than 40 days. Not only did they not eliminate hundreds of communist bandits, they also suffered heavy casualties. How could I have Face to go back to see father, how to go back to see father."

Yilier's last words were screamed out in despair, and a bandit officer persuaded: "Miss, keep the green hills here, don't worry about burning out, if you don't withdraw, it will be too late, after the bombardment by the communist army, you should It's a large force attacking, retreat quickly."

While the bandits were talking, only the sound of the motor of the tank engine and the sound of the tracks walking could be heard from afar, and they were getting closer.

"Galala, Galala"

Experienced bandits from the [-]th Cavalry Division could understand that it was the tanks of the communist army that came up. All the bandits panicked and ran around regardless of the leader's restraint.

How can we not panic? Anyone with a little brain knows that the cavalry has no way to fight against the armored soldiers. The large troops of the People's Liberation Army rushed over like Haichao. Look, I wish their master would give the order to retreat sooner.

A bandit officer shouted: "Miss, if you don't leave, it will be too late. The team will be in chaos, so retreat quickly."

The bandits who were born in the regular army are different from the mob. The bandit officer who shouted is still very smart. Before the large troops of the People's Liberation Army rushed to the front, he gathered the team and ran out. Take some people out, otherwise the army will be destroyed after a while. The most feared thing for the army is that it will become uncontrollable after the organization is disrupted, and then it will really become a straggler.

Waking up, Yilier got on her horse, glanced reluctantly at Yiwu County, which was close at hand, and withdrew with a brigade of bandits.

The Seventh Cavalry Division was from the regular army, and they were more organized than ordinary bandits when they retreated. Instead of blindly running back in a swarm, they gathered some bandits whose horses had been killed, and changed the cavalry into infantry. The bandits blocked the large troops of the People's Liberation Army from behind, buying time for the main force of the rebel bandits.

There are indeed some desperadoes among the bandits, especially the Seventh Cavalry Division with the Qingma Army as the team, who dared to fight desperately at critical moments. These bandits without horses rushed back howling under the command of the chief, looking for weapons that could be used And the terrain, prepare to fight to the death with the PLA troops who are attacking.

Up to now, Yilier has not realized the danger is coming. According to his understanding of the People's Liberation Army in Xinjiang, the combat effectiveness of the People's Liberation Army is very tenacious, but most of the troops of the People's Liberation Army are infantry, and the infantry has no way to fight Cavalry is faster than speed.

Yilier took it for granted that the communist army's ability on horseback was incomparable to theirs, so she felt that even if they couldn't beat the PLA, it would be fine, just run away, the vast Xin Jiang has enough area to Let them deal with the People's Liberation Army.

But today her estimation was wrong, and it was ridiculously wrong. Although the People's Liberation Army who came was also called infantry, they were mechanized infantry with extremely strong maneuverability, which was too far from the infantry she knew.

The brigade of bandits retreated in a panic. They naively thought that it was nothing, as long as they could run out of the range of the PLA artillery, they would be fine. The two legs of the soldiers of the PLA could not catch up with their four legs, and soon they were Can comeback and comeback.

What Yilier, Ai Baidula and others did not expect was that the Du Li Brigade of the People's Liberation Army only used three battalions to attack them at the beginning of the battle, a heavy artillery battalion, an armored battalion and an infantry battalion. , the rest of the troops are moving quickly, the purpose is to surround them fast-running bandits, want to run?It's not that easy.

The du li brigade used one of the five infantry battalions to participate in the assault, the remaining four infantry battalions and one reconnaissance battalion, and a cavalry battalion attached to the Fifth Army were using trucks and horses for crazy deep maneuvers.

The brigade commander Li Yong only gave them half an hour, and they must maneuver behind the bandits' buttocks within half an hour, otherwise they will be held responsible for turning the battle into a rout. What is meant is total annihilation, not rout.

The Fifth Battalion Commander Wang Huo is the most stable battalion commander in the whole brigade. The soldiers of his battalion are more or less influenced by him. The driver of the car is going at full speed and must pick up the speed. (To be continued.)
