Chapter 238: The Battle of Xifu conquers Fufeng

The regiment commander Li Yong proposed to attack Fufeng County, but in order to reduce casualties, he also tried to avoid street fighting with the enemy. Not a bad thing either.

As soon as Li Yong finished talking about this plan, everyone was convinced, Zhang Jinsong shook his thumb and said: "It's not a loss, it's the head of the regiment, the way I came up with is powerful, okay, this trick is good, scare the enemy out of the city, and then destroy it." ”

Ma Quanyou, the commander of the second battalion, really couldn't help it: "I said Zhang Jinsong, okay, don't shoot the regiment commander's fart, it's almost time to catch up with Li Jiangguo." ”

Li Jiangguo, who just wanted to praise the regiment commander for a few words, opened his mouth and said nothing, and went back in a jeep with the instructor of their battalion.

Everyone thought it was interesting to see Li Jiangguo like that, but they didn't expect that Lao Li, who had always been able to speak well, also had a time when he was suffocated.

After the operational meeting, the independent regiment quickly advanced, and while advancing, it reported the situation and its own combat plan to Commander Wang of the column by telegram.

Commander Wang's reply was that the forward troops could respond to the situation on the spot, and agreed to your attack on Fufeng County, but they should pay attention to reducing unnecessary casualties and report in time if support is needed.

In this way, the entire men and horses of the independent regiment drove to the foot of Fufeng Castle in a short time at the speed of a mechanized march, and of course, it was outside the range of the machine guns.

The regiment commander Li Yong ordered Gao Xiang to place their battalion's artillery at a certain distance outside the city, so that the soldiers defending the city could see it with their eyes, and ordered Wei Gang's machine gun battalion to drive out all their modified cars and place them behind the artillery position.

After the Battle of the Fork, Wei Gang's machine gun battalion became the weakest battalion in the whole regiment, and after returning all the heavy machine guns, the heavy weapons of the whole battalion were only seven anti-aircraft machine guns, and the rest were some miscellaneous weapons, and even submachine guns were very few.

For this matter, Wei Gang is not less on fire, how can the main battalion be equipped with such equipment? For this reason, he often went to the regiment headquarters to discuss with Li Yong, what should I do? Li Yong also bothered to think about this matter, it is also a big loss if the combat effectiveness of a battalion cannot be raised, there are still vicious battles to be fought in the Xifu Campaign, and improving the combat effectiveness of their battalion is also a top priority, and this matter must indeed be solved.

Later, in order to deal with the cavalry of the Ma Jiajun, the independent regiment modified more than forty cars, and how to distribute these cars is also a problem.

Li Yong's original idea was to divide these vehicles evenly among the five infantry combat battalions, but later he thought that these modified cars could be used as armored vehicles, and the power of armored vehicles could only be maximized when they were used intensively.

After consideration, Li Yong handed over all the modified cars to the Weigang battalion except for a few left by the regimental headquarters, and told them to put sandbags behind the armor of the cars, ten people in each car, and press a Makqin heavy machine gun at the back of the cab, and in addition to the main and auxiliary shooters of the heavy machine guns, he also brought eight soldiers with submachine guns, so that the firepower was very terrifying, as long as it did not encounter anti-armor weapons, the advantage of fighting cavalry in the plain area was too great.

After arranging the artillery and automobiles, Li Yong ordered Sun Quanhou of the baggage battalion to make the dust behind the position of the independent regiment as large as possible, no matter what method was used.

Sun Quanhou, who received the order, still used the old method used before, cut down dozens of trees, hung them on the back of cars and jeeps, and kept pulling back and forth behind the positions of the independent regiment.

Suddenly, outside Fufeng City, you can clearly see with the naked eye that the artillery of the People's Liberation Army is erected there, and the barrel of the cannon is pointing at the wall of Fufeng in black and flickering, and the cannons can't see how many there are, anyway, they have been discharged far away.

Behind the artillery, there are still a lot of armored vehicles, well, it should be armored vehicles, and behind the artillery positions is even more dusty, and you can see how many large troops of the Eighth Route Army there are, but there must be a lot of them.

The head of the Kuomintang security regiment in Fufeng County, who was holding a telescope to observe, was so frightened that he almost put the telescope on the ground, and a cold sweat ran down his brain, and he felt sour, and he couldn't hold urine in his crotch.

This guy's lips trembled and he said to the soldiers around him: "What, isn't this a big army of the communist army, why are there so many cannons?" What are we doing here? Is this little Fufeng enough to make them do such a big fight? ”

The soldiers beside the regiment commander also replied tremblingly: "Regiment commander, you look at the cannon barrel of the Eighth Route Army, it must be thicker than my waist. ”

The regimental commander turned around and gave the soldier a kick: "You actually scared me, you scared me out of this problem, and you didn't tell me anything nice, what cannon barrel is thicker than your waist, have you ever seen it?" You are so propaganda, you are not a spy sent by the communist army, right? ”

The soldier said a little aggrieved: "Regiment commander, look at the formation of the people, you take a good look at the back of the cannon, there are too many people to count, and now it must be preparing to load the cannon with shells. ”

As soon as the soldier reminded him, the regiment commander suddenly came to his senses, and the position he was standing on was on the city gate tower, and he must be the key target of the Eighth Route Army.

Hell, I really have to go quickly, this place is not for people, and after a while, maybe I will have to let the cannon of the Eighth Road flatten, thinking of this, this guy turned around and left.

As soon as he left, the soldiers nearby panicked even more, and the regiment commander ran away, what should we do? Several soldiers guarding the city gate discussed with each other: "The regiment commander has run away, who else are we going to give our lives?" See the eight-way cannon outside? Wait a while, as soon as the cannon goes off, as long as it doesn't hit the first hit, even if our brother has a few lives, then go, run. ”

Speaking of the independent regiment outside the city, Gao Xiang, the battalion commander of the artillery battalion, ran over and reported: "Regiment commander, the artillery of our battalion is ready, just wait for your order, I promise to level the city wall of Fufeng to him as soon as possible." ”

Li Yong nodded and said to Gao Xiang: "Don't worry, wait a little longer, let's let these soldiers of the Kuomintang security regiment watch for an hour, and the attack will start in an hour." ”

Gao Xiang asked a little puzzled: "Commander, why do you want them to watch for an hour, what's the mystery?" ”

Li Yong: "This Kuomintang security regiment does not have long-range heavy weapons, so it is a bit of a bully for us to fight this battle, only we fight them, but they can't attack us, think about it, if a person holds a loaded rifle and faces your brain for an hour, how do you feel in your heart?" ”

Gao Xiang said a little excitedly: "Commander, I understand, this cannon aimed at the city wall for an hour, and the soldiers defending the city will feel frightened, and they don't know when disaster will come, this feeling is really uncomfortable." ”

Yes, this is what we want, to make them feel that death is coming at any time, to lower their will to resist, to break their fighting spirit, and to create conditions for our regiment's follow-up attack.

Gao Xiang: "Commander, I learned another trick, this method is good, to put it simply, it is to scare people first and then fight." ”

The soldiers of the security regiment on the city wall looked at the cannons outside the city and couldn't stop trembling in their hearts, "Mom, what are you trying to do with these eight roads, do you want to fight or not?" My legs and stomach are spinning. ”

The other said: "Don't say it, you're scared when you say this, I always want to pee, I've been here for a few times in a while, why am I still having a temporary problem?" ”

Another soldier said, "You have something wrong with you, you are so frightened." ”

An hour passed in a blink of an eye, Li Yong looked at his watch and said to Gao Xiang beside him: "It's okay, let's start." ”

With Gao Xiang's order, the two benchmark guns "tom, tom" two shells were fired, and the ruler and distance had already been calculated, so the two cannons hit very accurately, and the shells exploded on the city wall.

Looking at the smoke and dust from the shells on the city wall, Gao Xiang shouted excitedly: "The height is the same, the pitch is the same, each cannon is eight rounds, and the whole battalion fires rapidly." ”

More than 40 howitzers of the Independent Regiment let out an earth-shattering roar, and the shells whistled and smashed towards the fortifications of Fufeng County.

Suddenly the explosion sounded in a row, the ground shook, the city wall was blown to rubble, guns, corpses and bricks flew together, just now the position of the head of the security regiment was blown up into the sky, except for the soldiers on the city wall who were killed in the first wave of shells, the rest followed the path, scattered ducks and ran, yes, whoever didn't run was a fool.

After three rapid fires in a row, Li Yong told Gao Xiang, it's okay, push your 92 infantry guns and 75 field guns forward, until they are 200 meters away from the city gate, aim at the city gate and shoot directly, and be sure to blow up the city gate or city wall.

Under the cover of artillery fire, several infantry guns and 75 field guns advanced rapidly under the traction of modified cars, and advanced until they were less than 200 meters away from the city gate before stopping.

During this period, the enemy's defensive fire has not reacted, and there is no way to react, it is completely covered by fire, what else can react, the soldiers aimed their guns at the city gate and fired visually.

It was so close that it was difficult to hit it accurately, so it was impossible to fire the cannons, the cannons, the cannons, and more than a dozen shells were fired out in a row, and the city gate and a section of the city wall of this Fufeng county town fell down in a violent explosion.

Seeing that the city wall and the city gate were blown open, Li Yong ordered again at this time: "Zhang Jinsong, bring over the Liu Desheng who Ning Erzi caught, go up with you, stand on the city wall, and give the artillery command target." ”
