The beacon of youth

The bandits on horseback rushed up in groups, with all kinds of equipment in their hands, which were weird and weird. A considerable part of the bandits didn't even have the most basic weapons of infantry and cavalry. They just rushed forward with a saber Come up, some don't even have sabers for cavalry, and what they carry in their hands is what they can find called weapons.

It can only be called things, Ning Jinshan really can't muster the courage to call them weapons.

World War II has long since ended. The atomic bombs developed on the principle of thermonuclear fusion were successfully tested and applied in actual combat (Hiroshima, Nagasaki). Strategic and tactical bombers can carry out carpet bombing of the enemy. Human military technology has developed to a brand new level. Height, but on the vast land of Xinjiang, in April and May of [-] A.D., there was still such a group of unrepentant bandits charging towards the PLA positions with weapons like knives and arrows. With the outbreak of World War I, he dreamed of being the master of Xinjiang.

It's no longer a battle between cold weapons. Ning Jinshan, who was born in the Tuba Road, was also stunned by the weapons of the bandits. Our old Northwest Field Army was poor enough, but it never happened like this. With such weapons and equipment Can it also break through the positions of the People's Liberation Army?Whether the bandit's head was flooded, or he really didn't understand the consequences of facing superior firepower, Ning Jinshan, the commander of the Fourth Battalion, was a little puzzled.

Bandits are fearless because of ignorance. This ancient oriental proverb well explains the ignorance and stupidity of bandits. They don't know what a big battle is, what infantry coordination is, and they may not even hear the fire net at the front of the position. As I said, I just rushed up blindly with the speed of my gun and the horse.

These people who rushed up really thought it was nothing. They thought that even if the weapons and equipment of the People's Liberation Army were better than them, they were not much better. If so many people charged together, the People's Liberation Army would open fire.Those who were killed were also a small number, and most of them could rush forward, and as long as they could get close, the balance of victory would be tilted in their favor. More people and fewer people would always have an advantage, and it was impossible to suffer.

In fact, this is not surprising. Xinjiang is located in the northwestern border. Fifty years ago, there was basically no industrial production capacity. All weapons and equipment had to be imported from the outside world. Rifles are very important weapons.The bullets are even less every time they are fired. If you want to replenish them, you have to exchange a lot of livestock. According to the psychology of the bandits, the bullets returned by a sheep will be gone after a few shots.Ridiculously expensive.

Not to mention these bandits, even the cavalry of the Majia Army in the Northwest used to have only ten bullets per soldier.Sir's reason is.They were afraid that the bullets in their hands would be seized by the communist army, but in fact they didn't want to give them more. Fear of being captured by the communist army was just another way to put it in a nice way.

Since the large-scale bandit riots, the scale of the mob has expanded more than ten times. The bandit gang with only 8000 people has expanded to 10,000+ people. There were not enough guns and ammunition.After the geometric increase in personnel, the demand for weapons and equipment has become an astronomical headache. Without external support, even if Usman has great ability, it is impossible to arm all the gangsters.This is why there are quite a few bandits who don't even have rifles.

The number two person Yao Lebos and his wife Feng Mengli both promised to ask President Jiang of Taiwan for instructions to drop them by plane, but it has been so long, and I haven’t seen any weapons dropped by air, let alone What airdropped, I didn't even see a plane.

Asking for help is worse than asking for yourself. President Jiang, who is far away in Taiwan, can't count on him. The promises made by Yao Lebosi and his wife are even worse than farting. If you don't have a gun, you can use a knife. If you don't even have a knife, you can get a stick.

Wu Siman knew his weakness very well, and he didn't pin his hopes on these cannon fodder who rushed over first. Using them to charge was just to test the firepower of the PLA's defensive positions. To put it bluntly, the first charge was a tentative one. attack.

Li Yong used the four infantry battalions of the Independent Brigade to organize defenses around the county seat. In fact, he focused on the east, west, and south. Although the bandits were surrounded from all directions, the north of Yiwu County is the former Beishan position. , at an altitude of more than 2000 meters, no matter how good the equestrian skills of the bandits are, they can't run up there, and they can't use their troops. Even if some bandits touch it, it's just some harassing actions. Think of ways to.

It is Wang Huhu's fifth battalion who is in charge of Beishan's defense. Why do they do this?Because several battalion commanders knew very well that there might not be a major battle in the Beishan area, the contribution made by the fifth battalion was not small, and nothing good can be done by a battalion, right?So during the meeting, several battalion commanders clamored for the fifth battalion to guard the north.

The Fifth Battalion Commander Wang Huhu is a hero who is well-known throughout the field army. He didn't care about their yelling, and asked Li Yong and Wang Chengde for instructions with a smile. Since everyone is willing, their Fifth Battalion will guard the Beishan position.

I heard that after getting back the mission, the soldiers of the Fifth Battalion were dissatisfied, thinking that their battalion commander had to compete with the other infantry battalions, and at best they had to use lottery to decide the direction of the guards.

Later, several soldiers who proposed to use lottery to decide the guarding direction were scolded by Wang Huo. Wang Huo told the soldiers of their battalion:

"To keep the north is to keep the north. What's wrong with Beishan? It's also very important. Beishan is the commanding height of the entire battlefield. Controlling this position is a life-and-death issue for the whole brigade. Who said we can't make meritorious deeds on the Beishan position. The fight hasn't started yet, anything is possible."

Beishan, which is more than 2000 meters above sea level, is really difficult to manage. Usman also understood this truth. He only sent a small number of troops to the north, and he himself followed the bandit brigade to several other directions.

The first attack was in the south, and the fourth battalion of Ningjin Mountain was in charge of defense.

The independent brigade is fully organized into ten battalions, each with more than 1000 people. Such a team is a monster-like existence in the Northwest Field Army. The war machine at full capacity makes this monster full of explosive power. Today, just Let the ignorant bandits taste what they are like.

The five infantry battalions in charge of battlefield defense each have their own characteristics. The first battalion is resourceful and flexible; the second battalion is steady and steady; the third battalion is fierce and tenacious;

Of course, the fourth battalion also has its own characteristics. Ning Jinshan, the commander of the fourth battalion, is a well-known sharpshooter in the whole brigade and is also recognized as the number one shooter. A large number of [-]-type rifles were specially prepared to make up for the lack of long-range weapons in the army. In normal times, the battalion commander Ning Jinshan also specially trained the soldiers' ability to shoot with precision. A battalion with the best shooting skills in the brigade has emerged a large number of Japanese shooters and Zhu De shooters (the level of sharpshooters of the People's Liberation Army in the War of Liberation).

The cavalry attacked by the bandits entered a distance of 500 meters. Ning Jinshan calmly ordered the artillery to open fire. More than 20 small mortars had already made all the shooting standards accurate. In the future, just load and launch.

The sound of the small cannons popping out of the chamber was uniform, boom, boom, and the artillery platoon bombarded the bandits at a very fast speed. He flew over and landed in the crowd, under the horse's belly.

The trigger fuze of the artillery shell rang when it touched the ground, and the shrapnel shrapnel formed an umbrella and collapsed towards the sky where they came. The violent force brought the shrapnel fragments to cut everything they encountered. Roll, in a blink of an eye, blood and minced meat flew all over the sky.

Bombing, bombing, bombing, it is best to kill all the bandits. Under the frantic firing of the artillery platoon soldiers, more than [-] small mortars fired shells at an alarming speed, hundreds of meters in front of the fourth battalion. Outside, the sky was full of birds chirping, and within a few seconds it turned into bomb craters all over the place.

At the same time, the small cannonballs that exploded on the ground exploded into a wall of fire one after another. The front, back, left, and right sides of the fire wall instantly turned into a hell of death, followed by piles of dead people and dead horses.

Blood and minced meat flew in the air, coating everything around them with a thick layer, and smeared them on the bodies of their companions who were charging. Liu Yuan stared blankly, looking at everything around him with unbelievable eyes.

It turns out that there are as many shells as there are stones on the Gobi Desert!The minced meat all over the floor is the brother who attacked with them just now?When did the warriors on the prairie become so weak.

A bandit's eyes suddenly turned red, and his vision was blurred. The bandit wiped his face with his hand in fear. It turned out that a large piece of flesh from the corpse had covered his eyes. The bandit was killed. Frightened and heartbroken, a call that was not a human voice came out of his throat, and then he turned his horse's head and ran back.

Sometimes group events lack a leader, and one person turns around and runs away, which will drive a large number of people with the same thoughts, and a large number of people can decide the victory or defeat of a battle.

5 minutes? 6 minutes?Or 7 minutes?Maybe not, the bandits who launched an attack in front of the Fourth Battalion were blasted back by artillery fire before they could touch the main position. .

Usman and a large group of direct subordinates were watching the battle in this area, and the battle scene between the enemy and us was clearly seen. The old bandit leader slapped his thigh fiercely and cursed angrily:

"Hey, how come the communist army has so many small cannons, who can tell me why the communist army has so many small cannons? How did you inquire, and your brains are fed to wild wolves?" (To be continued. .)
