The beacon of youth

() The Fifth Battalion Commander Wang Huo ordered the drivers of their battalion to move forward at full speed, even at the risk of overturning the car. He was uncharacteristically prudent. The soldiers wondered what happened to their battalion commander today, why did he do this? Dry?Doesn't this match Tiger Wang's usual style?

The reason is very simple, because based on Wang Huo's understanding of the enemy and his own troops, he knew that with the strong fighting power of the du li brigade, the bandits who besieged Yiwu would not last long, and those who could not hold on would soon withdraw. Therefore, those who are responsible for plugging the buttocks must rush to the position in time.

The wheels of the car were bumped up so high. On the road that didn't call the road, the vehicle swayed forward. The driver tried his best to reach the designated position within the time specified by the brigade commander, but before the soldiers took a breather After the fortifications were built, even before some soldiers jumped out of the car, they heard the sound of a large number of horses' hoofs hitting the ground from afar.

The soldiers of the du li brigade have dealt with the cavalry many times. From the earliest Yuandong area to the second-horse army on the northwest battlefield, they have fought against the cavalry many times. They have already gained experience. On the roof of the cab of the car, watch carefully with binoculars. ..

The sight in the mirror is very clear, and I saw a large group of black cavalry running towards them in the distance, people shouting and neighing, like a large black cloud floating over the ground, I don't know how many bandits retreated from this direction .

Oh, it's really a brigade of bastard bandits, yes, they're fishing again.

Wang Huohu was very excited, he didn't say anything, he was proud of himself, hehe, we really ran into each other.

Because there were several battalions sent out by the du li brigade to block the gap, it was uncertain from which direction the bandits would withdraw.That battalion can block the bandits with a lot of randomness. Simply put, whoever can block the bandits will make a great contribution, and the other battalions can only be left behind.

The soldiers also understood this truth, and said strange words to each other: "It seems that we are lucky in the fifth operation. You said that this gang of bandits, why did they withdraw from the place where our camp was defending, and even God took care of us. Hey, it's so lucky that even the gods can't stop it. It's up to us to make meritorious deeds."

Another soldier followed Hu and explained: "What's the matter, the fate is good because our battalion commander has a good name. Think about it, tigers, they must eat meat at critical times."

Wang Huo didn't have time to listen to the nonsense of his soldiers.Instead, he shouted an order: "The whole battalion is ready to fight, hurry up. Machine gun platoon. Artillery platoon, put all your equipment at the front."

To deal with the fast cavalry, there must be strong firepower as a support, otherwise it is very likely that the enemy will rush over. In this way, not only the task assigned by the brigade commander Li Yong will not be completed, but it will also cause heavy losses to the troops.Wang Huo understood this truth very well, and in a hurry revealed the family background of their fifth battalion, and he placed the two heavy firepower platoons in the battalion at the forefront.

Too nervous, watching the brigade of bandits withdraw from the direction of the Fifth Battalion's defense.The soldiers had no time to build fortifications, and had no time to find any terrain and features that could cover themselves. Under the order of the battalion commander Wang Huo, they urgently launched a combat team, using cars as shelters, and deployed defenses on the spot.

A series of light and heavy machine guns were placed at the front at a certain distance. The ammunition hand nervously opened the box and inserted the ammunition chain into it. The yellow bullets were dragged on the ammunition chain for a long time.

In a blink of an eye, the group of bandit cavalry that had been frantically withdrawn entered the effective range of 200 meters. Wang Huo ordered steadily: "Artillery platoon, fire."

Different from the soldiers of the first battalion, the fifth battalion used cars to maneuver behind the bandits' buttocks. The small mortars were not disassembled and marched, so they entered the fighting state very quickly. Under Wang Huo's order, they all fired together, and the sound of the small cannons popping out of the chamber was uniform.

Under the command of the red flag in the hands of the artillery platoon leader, the movements of the soldiers were uniform. It had been a long time since the Fifth Battalion had fought like this. The tiger's order excited all the soldiers.

The firing speed of the artillery shells is very fast. When the firing charges are pressed, the firing speed and the density of the shells of twenty mortars per minute can reach a very considerable scale.

The small cannonballs slid down the barrel gently, slid to the bottom of the barrel, and were fired quickly under the push of the gunpowder package. The small cannonballs falling from the sky fell in groups in the middle of the cavalry of the bandit cavalry , People and horses fell to death amidst the bang bang bang.

Battalion Commander Wang Huhu kept shouting: "Focus on shooting, hit the cavalry he rushed to the front, slow down the speed of the bandits, hurry up."

The biggest reliance of the cavalry is speed. If the speed slows down, the advantage will be lost. The purpose of Wang Huo letting the small mortar fire violently is to use the powerful firepower to slow down the speed of the bandit brigade, and then slowly clean up.

Loading and launching, loading and launching, under the command of the battalion commander, more than [-] mortars fired at the maximum speed, and the sound of "boom, bang, bang, bang" exploded in succession, and the densely packed small shells seemed to swarm into groups. They flew over like a sparrow, and then blasted a wall of fire in front of the horse team.

Beat hard, beat head-on, the bandits and horses that havetily withdrawn are too dense, so dense that each shell can harvest the lives of several people and horses, dozens of shells can clear a large area, the artillery platoon of the fifth battalion At least a few hundred of the withdrawn bandit cavalry were destroyed in one quick shot, and there is no way to figure out the specific results.

Most of the bandits who were killed were the so-called warriors who rushed to the front. The living people behind them slowed down in panic, tightened their reins, and the horses ran in a circle to the back and sides. I can't get through.

A sudden fire attack by the artillery platoon blasted back the withdrawn bandit brigade, which bought time for Wang Huo's fifth battalion to deploy calmly. Battalion commander Wang Huo praised the soldiers of the artillery platoon loudly: "Good job!" After the battle is over, report to the brigade party committee to give you credit."

Riding on a fast horse, he turned around and ran back. The bandit officer ran up to Yilier who was in the back line: "Miss, the situation is not good. The main force of the communist army is intercepting us, and there are at least dozens of small mortars." The artillery was firing, and the casualties of the brethren were great."

Yilier was really in a hurry at this time, she scratched her neck and shouted at the officer: "You are talking nonsense, the communist army is bombarding us with heavy artillery, how could there be dozens of mortars in front, and the mortars are not Do the Communist Army have so many horsewhips in your hand?"

Eliel's suspicion was justified. Mortars were very valuable weapons in the army at that time. It would be good to have a few in the general army. The same is true for the troops of the People's Liberation Army. It is simply unthinkable and too extravagant to use together.

At the critical moment of life and death, the officer who came back to report also shouted: "Miss, the front must be the Communist Army's interception force, it is the main force of the Communist Army, that's right, they want to make dumplings for us, please find a way. "

Yilier's face twisted, and she shouted hoarsely: "There is nothing to do. Behind us are Communist tanks, heavy artillery and armored vehicles. Turning around is a dead end. The only way to survive is to rush forward. You will lead the team to rush there." , whoever dares to take a step back will be shot on the spot.”

This female bandit is quite sensible, and the armored troops of the People's Liberation Army are rumbling and rolling over. The bandit cavalry don't even have the mentality to fight against the tanks. To survive.

The bandits who besieged Yiwu were mainly composed of the original Seventh Cavalry Division. After receiving Yilier's order, these capricious habitual bandits also knew that it was time to work hard. Some officers encouraged in the team: "Brothers! , we have already demoted the Communist Party once, and killed all the political commissars and instructors they sent over. There is no turning back. The disaster has already been caused, and the Communist Army will not spare us. Go back It’s death, being caught by the communist army is death, it’s better to rush over desperately, as long as you can rush over, you can survive, brothers and follow me.”

The words of these bandit officers are very clear, and they are very effective. The rebellious bandits know that they, the former Qinghai Fifth Cavalry Army, and the current Seventh Cavalry Division have blood on their hands. The only way to surrender is to go all out.

The chaotic cavalry team became restless again, thousands of cavalry howled and rushed up, under the cover of short-range firepower, rushed up again, trying to use their horseshoes to tear apart the defense line of the fifth battalion commander Wang Huo .

After the bandit's first attack was blown down by the artillery fire, Wang Huo finally had a little time to deploy calmly. He kept commanding the soldiers to excavate simple defensive facilities in squads and platoons, so as to prepare for the next attack against the bandits. In preparation for the attack, Wang Huo didn't think that these escaped bandits would surrender. Fortunately, most of the soldiers carried engineering shovels with them, so digging a simple individual bunker would not take much trouble.

Eliel made use of the few light and heavy machine guns she still had in her hands, and placed them on both sides of the cavalry to shoot, providing as much support as possible for the charging bandits.

Wow, the bandit cavalry of the brigade gathered again after the initial panic. Knowing that there was no way out, the fierceness in the blood of these habitual bandits was aroused, and they rushed to fight the communist army.

Standing at the front of the Fifth Battalion's line of defense were more than twenty heavy machine guns from the machine gun platoon. The soldiers dug out simple machine gun shelters during the rare interval between attacks. Around the fortifications, those old shooters leaned firmly in the bunker to relax a little bit, and some even lighted up cigarettes easily and smoked. (To be continued.)
