Several regiments of the Tibetan army were arranged around Lhasa, and this was the last force in the hands of Xizàng Kaxia zhèngfu, and Li Jiangguo's avant-garde first echelon was obviously one of them.

When the warning whistle sounded, they suddenly found that the People's Liberation Army was almost under their noses.

Li Jiangguo's telescope saw a panic, a simple camp, rudimentary weapons, and rudimentary fortifications, as well as soldiers running in a panic, all of which showed that the Tibetan army in front of him was not ready for battle at all, and it was completely a face of being slaughtered.

It is a fool not to eat meat, Li Jiangguo glanced at the watch on his wrist, the five-minute stipulated time has already passed, this time the political commissar should not say that he does not pay attention to ethnic and religious policies? Thinking of this, Battalion Commander Li was a little happy at the change in his mind, and Li Jiangguo turned around and shouted: "How are the artillery preparations?" ”

A platoon commander replied, "It's all ready." ”

Two artillery platoons of the 1st and 2nd Battalions were concentrated, more than 40 small mortars were prepared, the ammunition packs for the shells had been loaded, and the firing Zhu Yuan was calibrated, just waiting for the order from him, the commander.

"Target, the enemy exposes the infantry, concentrates fire, starts."

At a distance of only a few hundred meters, or even a few hundred meters, the position of the first echelon of the avant-garde of the Duli brigade was just outside the effective range of the rifles, and this distance was precisely where the small infantry mortars could exert their power at the most effective.

Strategically contemptuous of the enemy and tactically attaching importance to the enemy, Li Jiangguo did not seem to take the Tibetan army seriously, but he was still very cautious when he really wanted to compete. This is the basic principle of an experienced field commander, and he did not lead his troops to attack rashly. Instead, prepare the enemy with artillery fire to kill as many defenders as possible, and then the infantry attack.

Li Jiangguo, who had fought against the Tibetan army, knew that his opponent basically did not have organized artillery, and this provided favorable conditions for the tactics he had to adopt.

The tactics of the avant-garde troops are not complicated, bombarding with artillery fire outside the range of the rifle, first using powerful artillery fire to crush the enemy, anyway, you can't hit me, Lao Tzu can toss as much as you want. Li Jiangguo was very clear about his mentality, and if there were heavy casualties in dealing with such a Tibetan army, the brigade commander would probably not have to peel off a layer of skin after returning home, so the avant-garde troops were still very cautious in their actions.

The Tibetan army that had lived in Lhasa for a long time was an old-fashioned army, which had just been overwhelmed by broadswords and spears to firearms, and its equipment level was similar to that of the Eight Banners in the late Qing Dynasty. These old-fashioned Tibetan armed forces do not have experience in the combat of large corps, or in other words, they have not been exposed to or seen the combat of large corps, and there is a gap in weaponry, tactical thinking, and soldiers' will to fight. The combat effectiveness of the Tibetan army is not on the same order of magnitude as the battle-hardened Duli Brigade, and there is no comparison.

Several regiments of the Tibetan army were placed around Lhasa by the Kashag zhèngfu for defense, with less than a thousand men on each side, and this passive defense was equated with being beaten in the absence of sufficient troops.

The avant-garde units of the Duli brigade numbered more than three thousand people. Li Jiangguo did not use these more than 3,000 men to encircle Lhasa, but concentrated his forces on striking in one direction. Using more than 3,000 tigers and wolves to deal with the defenders in one direction is to fight with superior forces in local battles, and it is also the most traditional tactic of the PLA.

There were no tunnels, no trenches, no anti-artillery holes, and the Tibetan army only had some simple, half-man-high breastworks and individual bunkers built up of stones, and those panicked soldiers were running wildly behind those improvised breastworks at this time.

The corners of Li Jiangguo, Ma Quanyou and the others turned up slightly, and a hint of smile shrouded the faces of several people, as if they had seen the tragic situation of the enemy after a few seconds, they were all veterans who had been rolling on the battlefield for many years, and it was better to pee and drown if they couldn't win in the face of such an opponent.

Boom, boom, boom, first a few shells were test-fired, and then a large-scale bombardment, and on the premise that the opponent did not have the slightest counterattack force, the artillery platoons of the first and second battalions exerted their maximum rate of fire and accuracy, and swarms of small shells smashed down on their heads.

The Tibetan army's turtle troops have seen such a scene, and they are at a loss for what to do in the face of the sharp howling sound coming overhead, and they don't know what kind of weapons the PLA on the opposite side is using to attack them, and they don't blame the Tibetan soldiers for being stupid, they really haven't seen it.

It wasn't until the shells slashed through the air and smashed into their heads that these stupid-looking Tibetan soldiers understood that a catastrophe was coming, and the violent explosions were connected into pieces, and the small shells that fell under their feet bombarded the entire human body into the sky, and when they fell, it was a piece of minced flesh, and the whole position was covered in smoke and dust, and in the smoke and flying dust carried countless steel fragments, these small steel fragments flew and swirled, cutting flesh and blood in the air at a very fast speed.

Because there were no fortifications and preparations for effective defense against artillery bombardment, the effect of artillery bombardment was very good, and on the bare positions, the Tibetan soldiers who ran around indiscriminately were killed and wounded in large numbers, and their corpses were all over the position.

The Tibetan soldiers have no experience in fighting major battles, and they have never encountered large-scale artillery preparations, and they are backward for an unknown number of generations in terms of equipment and thinking, and it is inevitable that they will be beaten.

Commander Li Jiangguo was very satisfied with the results of the artillery bombardment, but he was only satisfied, and the artillery fire was not yet finished, and the artillery fire was prepared over and over again for the positions of the Tibetan army's regiment, and while the artillery fire was being prepared, the commandos of the first and second battalions touched the assault from both sides, and their task was to kill them with sudden movements when the artillery fire was extended.

At the same time as the commando movement, the fighters of the reconnaissance battalion were not idle, half of the personnel of the reconnaissance battalion came, only more than 500 people, and the rest were still marching with the main force of the brigade, because the scouts were not suitable for positional warfare, and they were not equipped with heavy weapons, so the commandos who launched the attack did not have their share, but this does not mean that they could only watch the excitement, the main task of the soldiers of the reconnaissance battalion was to monitor the Tibetan troops in other directions, and drag the reinforcements of the Tibetan army when the enemy had support actions. The second battalion completely annihilated the enemy and created the conditions.

The battle plan drawn up by Li Jiangguo, Ma Quanyou, and Zhang Jinsong was to attack one direction of the Tibetan army with all the main forces of the first echelon, that is to say, to concentrate forces to attack one point of the Tibetan army, so as to achieve the goal of total annihilation in one fell swoop.

In fact, the purpose of the battle is twofold: one is to destroy the enemy's living forces and create conditions for future stationing, and the other is to deter, to let potential opponents see the determination and confidence of the PLA, and to let them know that there is only one end to opposing the PLA, that is, to be completely eliminated.

It is precisely because of the above considerations that Li Jiangguo and others have the idea that they must fight this battle, but the tactical arrangement of Li Jiangguo and others is not without shortcomings, and the Tibetan army still has several thousand troops in the Lhasa area, and it is impossible for the more than 3,000 people in the first echelon to encircle them all, so there is a tactical arrangement for attacking a little.

The key to the battle is not the opponent in front of the first and second battalions, Li Jiangguo is confident that he will win the battle, the more troublesome is the defenders in the remaining directions of Lhasa, if the defenders of other directions provide support to the attacked Tibetan army after the battle is launched, it will bring difficulties to the next battle, so how to solve them before the arrival of the opponent's reinforcements has become the core of the whole battle, the task of the reconnaissance battalion is to be in the infantry one, The 2nd Battalion launched an attack while monitoring possible enemy reinforcements and, if necessary, interdicting them.

Obviously, the Tibetan army's response capability was really poor, and it had been more than half an hour since the battle began, and the Tibetan army in front of him was crying wolf when the bombing was being carried out, and there was no support for the Tibetan army in the other directions.

Of course, it was a good thing for the enemy to be stupid, and the first and second infantry battalions began to charge at the same time as the artillery fire, and with the cover of artillery fire, the fighters moved quickly to the sides of the position.

It was not that no one among the soldiers of the Tibetan army saw the PLA detouring to their sides, but the shells fell one after another, and the whole position was like being blown up.

This is a standard infantry artillery joint operation, while the artillery is prepared for the infantry to approach the enemy's main position, as far as possible to shorten the final impact distance.

Both artillery platoons were staffed by experienced veterans, and countless battles had trained them to have a steely will, and their superb skills allowed them to dare to bombard the advancing infantry under their noses.

By the time the artillery fire extended backwards, the commandos of the two infantry battalions had already reached a distance of only a few tens of meters away from the Tibetan army's position, and such a distance was already within the effective attack distance of the soldiers' submachine guns and grenades.

Just over half an hour has passed since the battle began, and the Tibetan army of nearly 1,000 people has turned from heaven to hell.
