The beacon of youth

After returning to the fortification, Li Yong picked up his binoculars to observe carefully, and he could clearly see the commotion of the bandits. Brigadier Li Da said to Ma Changsheng: "It seems that it still works, no accidents, the bandits will start after a while." For a large-scale attack, your third battalion must be the main attack direction of the bandits, so be prepared."

Ning Jinshan, commander of the Fourth Infantry Battalion of the Independent Brigade, was recognized as the top shooter by the whole brigade, and the marksmanship of the soldiers of the Fourth Battalion was also more accurate than that of the other battalions.

Ma Changsheng, the commander of the third battalion, is the number one assassination expert in the entire independent brigade. Under his leadership, the third battalion's stabbing skills are far better than those of the other battalions. Although the soldiers are equipped with a large number of submachine guns, they have a little bit of assassination skills I didn't drop it, and it was still a compulsory subject for usual training.

This is also in line with the wishes of the brigade commander Li Yong, because Li Yong believes that assassination techniques are not only a necessary means of killing the enemy, but also can improve the courage and courage of the soldiers, which is very helpful to improve the combat effectiveness of the troops. The brigade is vigorously developing. Of course, Ma Changsheng's third battalion has the best technology.

The soldiers of the third battalion like to fight close combat and hand-to-hand combat with the enemy very much, because this is the strength of their third battalion, and the troops that like close combat and hand-to-hand combat are very fierce troops. The third infantry battalion of the brigade is the well-deserved number one in the whole brigade.

Like their battalion commander, the third infantry battalion was extremely belligerent. As soon as Yilier died, everyone knew that a good show was coming. The bandits would definitely not let it go, and Usman would definitely take revenge. of.

Battalion Commander Ma Changsheng grinned and quacked. What this guy was looking forward to was for the bandits to attack. Good thing, the opportunity for the Third Battalion to make great contributions has come, he told Li Yong.Light and heavy machine gun positions, mortar firing positions, and all kinds of ammunition are all ready, just waiting for the bandits to go crazy.

As expected, less than 10 minutes after Yilier's death, the bandits launched a large-scale attack, hordes of horses rushed over frantically, Usman had already given the death order, who would dare Take a step back and shoot immediately, and the leader of the company is shot together.

The bandits all knew that Wu Siman was really angry.If he didn't rush forward, he was afraid he would be shot dead. Not only did he attack, but he also attacked from several directions at the same time. Usman used all his resources and demanded that the bandits under his command.It is necessary to break through the positions of the People's Liberation Army.

It was already the third day, and Wu Siman knew that there was not much time left for him to take revenge.If you want to avenge Eliel and withdraw smoothly, you must end the battle within a day.

Fighting broke out suddenly.The battlefield that had been silent just now suddenly burst into loud gunshots again. After the brigade of bandits entered the range, the soldiers all opened fire, weaving pieces of fire nets at the front of the position with dense bullet rain, and the bandits in the fire nets The horse team fell down in groups.

The fighting in the past few days has made the charging bandits used to seeing death, and they know that they must pay a huge price if they want to break through the PLA's position.

The first batch that rushed up fell down, and the second batch followed.No matter how powerful the independent brigade's firepower is, the bandits have one purpose, they will rush forward if they die, and they will be shot by Usman.

Groups of mortar shells fell from the sky.Bullet craters were blown up one after another in the bandit cavalry, and in the bomb craters were the bloody corpses of dead men and dead horses. Submachine guns and light machine guns shot down the bandits one by one from their horses.

Because Yilier died in the third battalion, the third battalion became the main attack direction of the bandits. Usman knew the weakness of his own side, so he concentrated all the light and heavy machine guns of the bandits to strengthen the covering firepower, trying to forcibly Breaking through from the third battalion position put a lot of pressure on the third battalion.

The edge of the trench was hit by machine gun bullets in a string of dust, and soldiers fell one after another. The troops suffered the largest casualties since the war began. The bandits concentrated most of their forces on the third battalion position, trying to force a breakthrough from one point. , Battalion Commander Ma Changsheng ran along the trench to the mortar position and asked the artillery to knock down the bandit's machine gun position in the shortest possible time.

The casualties of the troops were seen by the soldiers of the artillery platoon. The machine gun position hundreds of meters away was completely within the fire range of the mortar. The artillery shells smashed the shells like money, and hundreds of shells enveloped the bandit's machine gun position in the blink of an eye. In the dust, ash and shrapnel of the shells, the machine gun position was completely destroyed.

What is important in war is coordination. Without enough suppressive firepower, the fate of the machine gun positions exposed under the mortar is sad. Even the personnel and machine guns were blown to pieces by the artillery fire.

Looking at the machine gun position submerged in the thick smoke and dust, Usman was troubled in his heart. The Communist army was very tricky in fighting. If they were caught, they would be eaten. Machine guns are the most precious resource in the bandits. It was he, Wu Siman, who spent a lot of effort to get it back. He didn't expect that in such a blink of an eye, the decades of family property would be almost reimbursed.

Taking advantage of the brief opportunity for the artillery to deal with the machine gun position, the firepower of the third battalion was weakened, and the cavalry charged by the bandits approached a certain distance. Seeing that they were less than 100 meters away from the front position, the heavy machine guns arranged on the two wings of the third battalion rang stand up.

The machine gun fire like a strong wind cut away the lives of the bandits in piles, and the crossed bullets made the bandits on horseback have no hope of victory.

Wu Siman, the leader of the bandit who supervised the battle at the back of the position, also became nervous. After several attacks were defeated, he also understood that the heavy machine guns of the People's Liberation Army only fired when the cavalry approached a distance of about 100 meters, and this distance also mattered. At the most critical moment of success or failure, the first few times they were beaten back were all defeated because they could not withstand the firepower of heavy machine guns.

Seeing the bandit cavalry rushing up one after another and being shot dead one after another, Wu Siman made the greatest determination. The old bandit howled like a wolf: "Brothers, as long as we rush through the machine gun blockade, the communist army will be on the verge of death." It's over, let's rush up."

Countless cannon fodders were ordered to rush up, and then died in the fire net at the front of the Independent Brigade's position. Usman's eyes were red, and he drove the bandits up in groups with the supervisory team, and those who dared to resist were killed immediately, anyway. Cannon fodder, if it dies, it will die. As long as it is not his elite subordinates who are consumed, it is no big deal to die more. People, like weeds on the prairie, as long as there are a few years, there will be a large number of cubs again They have grown up, and as long as they grow up to fourteen or fifteen years old, they will be a good cannon fodder warrior again if they are given a saber and a horse.

The bandits from several directions were attacking at the same time, and the battle was so dark that the political commissar Wang Chengdei who was staying at the brigade headquarters was wondering why the bandits suddenly attacked again. The bandits were dizzy, and it was Dayong who did something .

A phone call was made, and the soldier who answered the phone excitedly replied in a noisy voice: "Report to the political commissar, the bandits are charging because our brigade commander killed Yilier, you didn't see it, It really works, the bandits are attacking like crazy, they were beaten to death by our machine guns and small cannons in piles, and they are still not reconciled, and they are still rushing upwards."

The excitement of the soldiers could be clearly felt on the phone, but political commissar Wang Chengde was startled by Yilier's news, and he asked in disbelief, "What did you say? Who was shot?" Answer it again."

The soldiers didn't know the seriousness of the matter, so they replied in a very happy tone: "Hey, report to the political commissar, it was the female bandit Yilier who was shot dead by our brigade commander. It was so enjoyable."

The Independent Brigade captured Eliel alive in the last battle. This is something everyone knows. The order of the Corps is to temporarily detain the Independent Brigade. After the battle is over, it will be tried by the local government behind. In theory, Although Yilier is still in custody in the Independent Brigade, she is no longer under the management of the Independent Brigade, but Dayong killed Yilier. How can I explain this to the superior? Wang Chengde's head is a little swollen.

"You ask the brigade commander to come and answer the phone." Wang Chengde ordered.

Li Yong, who was still commanding the battle with the commander of the third battalion, Ma Changsheng, heard that the political commissar's call had arrived, and he immediately made mental preparations.

Sure enough, he guessed right, Wang Chengde on the phone yelled: "Dayong, what's the matter with you, why did you kill Yilier? You don't even think about it, how can we go back and explain to our superiors?"

"Old Wang, that's what I thought. It was precisely because I wanted to give an explanation to my superiors that I killed Yilier. It was obvious that after two days, the bandits lost confidence in attacking our brigade. From the signs, the bandits are going to run away. There are 10,000+ bandits, and they are all cavalry with extremely strong maneuverability. Don’t look at how enjoyable we are fighting now. Once the bandits run away, there is no way for our brigade to kill them They are all surrounded, so if you want to drag down the bandit brigade, you must provoke them and let the bandits entangle us, so as to create opportunities for the main force. I will report the shooting of Yilier directly to Commander Wang. How to deal with it is up to the superiors to decide."

Wang Chengde, the political commissar on the other end of the phone, sighed: "Even if what you say makes sense, anyway, Yilier is dead, and we can't save him. I have decided that this matter will only be decided after the two of us jointly study and analyze it." It’s done, we both take the responsibility together.”

Li Yong, who answered the phone, felt warm in his heart. He was still his old comrade-in-arms, and he went out to help him at the critical moment. With Wang Chengde's help, the nature of the matter was very different. (To be continued..)
