The beacon of youth

Dozens of light machine guns fired in salvo, and the bullets continued to penetrate through the holes. The bullets around the perforation caused puffs of white smoke to rise, and the machine guns in the bunker stopped suddenly.

The officers in the big bunker yelled for their soldiers to change their shooters, but it was easier said than done. One of them got his head smashed by bullets, and the other got his head smashed before he fired a few shots. After a few, no one dared to go up. The soldiers all pushed and shoved others to go up. At this time, it is useless to be an official. Who will do the job of going to death? You officials are willing to go.

When fighting, the time is counted in minutes, especially when there is a blockade of firepower. If you are a little slow, people will come up. The officers in the bunker are anxious when they see that no soldiers are willing to change the shooter. Don’t shoot again. Balu rushed up, took out a pistol, pointed it at a soldier's head and said, "Damn, I'm afraid of death, can't you get in? If you don't, I'll kill you right now."

This soldier really had no other choice, and he would be shot if he didn't go up, so he had to walk forward slowly. The soldiers of the second regiment were waiting for such an opportunity.

The scene of the machine gun salvo made the soldiers of the attacking troops look stupid. Their company only had three light machine guns in total, and there were very few bullets. Having seen this scene, the bullets worked as hard as they were given for nothing.

Seeing that his soldiers were enjoying watching, the company shouted angrily: "What are you watching? Are you stupid? Let me join the five blasting teams. Do you hear me? Hurry up."

In the roar of the company commander, the soldiers rushed up. Li Yong watched as the soldiers skillfully pasted the big explosive packets on the bunkers. Several of them were stacked under each big bunker, and the blasting teams in front all died. On the way, the soldiers were really impatient. Isn’t your bunker big? This time I will post a few more for you to see if you are still tough. Pull the fuse and roll down quickly, and then there is a shocking movement ground explosion.

The five large bunkers blocking the way went up to the sky amidst the sound of explosions, and the guns and human bodies inside also flew into the air along with the smoke. The attacking troops rushed up with shouts of killing. The commander's order not to let them participate in the attack was forgotten, and he led the soldiers to jump up from the ground and rushed up with the sharp knife company.

The enemies behind the bunker saw that the strong fortifications were blown up, and the Eighth Route Army came to kill them with bayonets, screaming and running back. Li Yong led his troops to follow behind the sharp knife company, and from time to time there were some who were fleeing. The Kuomintang soldiers were knocked down by bullets, and the troops lost their combat effectiveness when they ran away. You even talked about fighting after you flushed your ass.

Li Yuming, Sanniu, and Xiaocheng leaned tightly in front of Li Yong, not letting him run forward or too fast. Li Yong was very moved. Good brother, everyone has only one life, and your life is Li Yong's life. Isn't the life of a few of them not life?

Li Yuming and the others used their bodies to block possible incoming bullets and shrapnel. Li Yong watched as he drove the enemies into several separate large courtyards. After entering the courtyards, the group of enemies immediately closed the gates, and then climbed up the wall to face each other. There was constant shooting and grenade throwing outside.

The commander led by the Kuomintang also knew that it was not okay to be chased, and fled into several large courtyards to resist, as long as the troops could be stabilized.

Li Yong saw it, heh, he was quite stubborn, so he asked the soldiers to call the company commander of the Sharp Knife Company, and the company commander ran over and said, "Battlefield Commander Li, we are even under your command, what can you do?"

Li Yong said with a smile: "You see, this group of enemies are really stubborn. The officers who lead the team are not free. If we force ourselves to charge upwards, we will suffer losses. Let's not do stupid things."

Then he shouted to Gao Xiang who came over: "Four courtyards, one for each class, ten for each cannon, let me smash them in and see if their brains are hard or our shells are hard."

The soldiers of the artillery platoon had already had itchy palms, because they had seized a large number of war horses. This time they came out with more shells than before. The artillery platoon brought some of them themselves, and the logistics platoon brought some for them. Now Gao Xiang His voice was much louder, not as tight as when he was in Longdong.

Under the command of Gao Xiang, the soldiers of the artillery platoon quickly adjusted the artillery positions. This is the advantage of the mortar, which can advance with the attack of the troops.

Under the surprised eyes of the soldiers of the Sharp Knife Company, three small cannons from each squad were aimed at a courtyard and fired continuously. Ten, the four large courtyards were filled with 120 shells. In the continuous explosions, these courtyards were suddenly filled with fireworks, houses collapsed, and shattered guns and corpse fragments flew everywhere.

The soldiers of the Sharp Knife Company stared again. The mortars in the regiment used to have only a dozen shells each. Every time they fired one, the gunners felt distressed. It was like a spy company. Like rain.

After the artillery volley was fired, Li Yong said to the stunned soldiers of the Sharp Knife Company: "It's all right, go and see if there are still people breathing."

The soldiers of the Sharp Knife Company and the soldiers of the first and second platoons rushed into several courtyards. After a while, the company commander of the Sharp Knife Company ran over: "Battle Commander Li, it's about the same as you estimated. Basically, there is nothing to breathe. The shells were all blown up, and it was so enjoyable to fight with you, and we didn’t even have a single casualty when you came up, so thank you very much this time.”

Li Yong patted the company commander on the shoulder: "They are all my comrades. What can we be thankful for? If you can't take this position down, we will go up. This is what we should do. Tell your company's soldiers to clean up the battlefield , You take all the useful things, we don’t need these things.”

The company commander also knew that the Secret Service Battalion looked down on these rags, so he took his soldiers to happily pick up undamaged weapons and ammunition. Although most of the weapons and ammunition were blown up, the Eighth Route Army is poor and can pick up some Yes, it's better than nothing at all.

After the close cooperation of various fraternal units, the soldiers of the fourth brigade compressed the enemy of this regiment from the large desert on all sides of Sancha Bay to a small nearby village. Under the fierce attack of our army, it took less than two days. Killed all enemies within hours.

After the battle, Commander Zhao walked down from the Shaliang with several personnel from the regiment headquarters. Li Yong pointed to the dilapidated blockhouses on the Shaliang and said, "Regimental Commander, it took a bit of effort to attack these blockhouses." , the terrain is not good for us, and the enemy of this regiment is very stubborn, and the sharp knives have caused a lot of casualties."

Commander Zhao said: "I asked you not to participate in the attack, why didn't you obey the command?" Li Yong replied: "Commander, I couldn't control myself when I saw the casualties of our sharp knife company. I will definitely pay attention next time."

While talking, a stretcher team composed of fellow villagers came over. Head Zhao and Li Yong hurried over. The health worker who led the team told the head that most of these wounded were cadres and soldiers from the first battalion who were in charge of the main attack. Head Zhao After looking at it and waving his hands, the hygienist led the stretcher and hurried towards the operating room.

The first battalion in charge of the main attack had more casualties. The battalion commander and instructor were both injured. Commander Zhao frowned again. The two main commanders of a battalion were all seriously injured. Observe for a period of time, but the troops are about to face a big battle again, and there is no time for them to adjust, which is another trouble.

Head Zhao looked at the stretcher team that was going faster and faster, and said to Li Yong: "Dayong, your support has greatly used the heavy machine barrels in the regiment. Our regiment's firepower is too weak. Fighting tough battles and guerrilla warfare are not the same thing. The lack of firepower is too bad."

Li Yong: "Commander, we still have some bullets for the Type [-] heavy machine gun. I'll ask Lao Sun to send some to each company later." Commander Zhao just nodded and said nothing.

Carrying the wounded on a stretcher is also learned. There are many casualties on the battlefield. The stretcher team has no time to confirm the condition of the wounded. When the soldiers lift their heads forward, the living wounded move their heads backwards. If you are still breathing but you are considered dead, it will be broken and the rescue time will be delayed. Maybe it will be really honorable.

Li Yong, who was walking side by side with the regiment leader, looked at the stretcher and said: "Regiment commander, I am not optimistic about our field army's attack on Yulin this time. Look at our regiment. If the plain field battle is okay, we still lack the means to attack solid positions. , A big city with strong fortifications like Yulin is much more difficult to attack than Sanchawan, the timing of our attack is not yet ripe, and we will suffer losses if we fight hard."

Li Yong paused for a moment and then said: "Leader, I also said these words at the headquarters."

Commander Zhao looked at Li Yong: "To be honest, Da Yong, I also think that the time to attack Yulin is immature, but you have said everything that should be said. As for what to do, it is the business of the leaders. You and I are just battalion-level troops." Commander, there is no way to interfere with the decision-making of the superior.”

"What we have to do now is to reorganize the troops, do our best to prepare for the attack on Yulin, and try every means to reduce the losses of the troops. This time, your battalion will serve as our regiment's preparation for the attack on Yulin." Team."

Speaking of which, Commander Zhao thought for a while and then continued: "Don't think that the reserve team is easy to serve. I have a feeling that this battle will be very difficult. You must be prepared for a tough battle, and you must stand up at the critical moment. Your battalion You fought well, but almost all were downwind battles, and you and Wang Chengde had to be flexible and be mentally prepared for difficulties.”

"I know the leader, we are making preparations for this. Each platoon has prepared a large number of explosives. If it doesn't work, use explosives to open the way."
