Chapter 412 I am invincible
Encouraged by the piercing and fierce sound of the military horn, all the combat units of the Independent Brigade rushed out and launched a counter-charge against the 203rd Division of the 57th Army of the Kuomintang that was on the attack. (If you like this book, please bookmark biquge.info)
Li Yong's purpose in doing this is not simply to destroy the enemy, the 203 Division is a famous trump card in the Kuomintang army, this unit has always claimed that the army of the People's Liberation Army is irregular, and each battle uses several times the strength of several times to deal with the best troops, if it is a one-on-one battle, their 203 Division can beat any unit of the communist army down, it is for this reason that Li Yong wants to take advantage of the opportunity of this battle to defeat the 203 Division cleanly and thoroughly, not only to destroy the enemy, but also to establish confidence in his own army, Establish a heroic spirit that is invincible.
The first to rush out was Li Yuming's tank unit, compared with the 203rd Division of the Youth Army, the tank unit of the independent brigade only had eight Stuarts, which was a short board of the independent brigade.
Before the attack was launched, Li Yong asked Gao Xiang to pull all the small-caliber infantry guns to the position for two reasons, one is to relieve the urgent need for the defensive position of the fourth division, and the other is to make preliminary preparations for the dispatch of his own tank troops, first use anti-tank guns to cripple the enemy's tank troops, and then use his own tanks to carry out a surprise attack on the enemy's infantry, which is also a strategy, Before the tank unit of the independent brigade reached a certain size, Li Yong would never use tanks to fight the enemy.
Behind the eight tanks, they were followed by more than sixty armored vehicles of their own modification by the Separate Brigade, each of which had a large-caliber high-profile machine gun.
Wei Gang's machine gun battalion developed to April and May of '49, and through the continuous efforts of all the commanders and fighters of the independent brigade, it has developed from a simple infantry heavy machine gun battalion to a high-machine gun air defense battalion with a certain air defense capability, but this air defense battalion does not have many opportunities to fight against the air. This time it was the same again, with more than sixty cars carrying high machine guns roaring behind the tanks, constantly assaulting forward.
Behind Wei Gang's machine-gun battalion was the brigade of the Independent Brigade, Li Jiangguo's 1st Battalion and Ma Quanyou's 2nd Battalion attacked from the left side, Ma Changsheng's 3rd Battalion and Ning Jinshan's 4th Battalion attacked from the right, in the middle were Wang Laohu's 5th Battalion and Zhang Jinsong's reconnaissance battalion, and behind the attack in the middle were the fighters of the baggage battalion led by He Cui Uā and the personnel of the Independent Brigade Headquarters.
Li Yong and Wang Chengde respectively rushed forward with the engineers, repairs, guards, and communications troops of the brigade headquarters, so to speak, except for a part of the baggage management personnel left, the more than 9,000 men and horses of the independent brigade basically rushed forward, including Li Yong, the brigade commander, and Wang Chengde, the political commissar.
Gao Xiang's howitzers continued to shoot forward in bursts, while the attacking troops of the Independent Brigade followed closely behind the bombing point and swooped forward, leaving no respite for the enemy, rushing forward and taking advantage of his illness to kill him.
After more than two years of continuous running-in and training, and with the efforts of Li Yong and the commanders of the first cadre, the independent brigade has initially formed a prototype of modern operations that has begun to take shape, and although this prototype is still very naïve, it has undergone earth-shaking changes from the People's Liberation Army (PLA), which has just switched from guerrilla warfare to regular warfare.
The battle between the Second Army of the People's Liberation Army and the 57th Army of the Kuomintang lasted from the second half of the night to almost noon the next day, and the Second Army paid heavy casualties, especially the Fourth Division, which had a hard top cow with the enemy, suffered more than half of the casualties, which made all the personnel of the Independent Brigade developed from the Fourth Division angry, so the battle was also very fierce, and the combat movements were extremely fierce, and each battalion put the heavy firepower that it could control in its hands at the forefront of the attacking troops, and in the event of resistance, it was directly eliminated.
Each of the main combat battalions of the Independent Brigade was armed with heavy machine-gun and mortar units, so the fire of the assault force was extremely fierce, and the flame-breathing Maxim heavy machine guns and dense mortar shells were overwhelming like heavy rain.
The Kuomintang youth army could not have imagined how the People's Liberation Army, which was still trying to defend just now, could not have such a powerful assault force all of a sudden, but the youth army was the youth army, and this Kuomintang unit was really different, and after encountering the strong attack of the independent brigade, not only did it not immediately rout, but turned into a defensive state on the spot, and resisted the attack force of the independent brigade and did not retreat.
Li Yong also secretly admired the actions of the 203rd Division, and it was indeed not easy to pick out a few of the Kuomintang troops if they were not defeated by such a sudden and strong blow as the Independent Brigade.
It was not easy for the troops to move from an offensive to a defensive posture, and if they wanted to defend, they had to have positions, and at least they had to have some firepower, and the 203rd Division, which had rushed to defend itself, had no time to dig any fortifications, and in a hurry, some soldiers and officers of the 203rd Division had no choice but to mule the corpses of dead soldiers as temporary defensive positions.
But these improvised firing points set up by dead men may still have some effect against ordinary light infantry, and using such fortifications against tanks and armored vehicles charged by the independent brigade is pure joke and death-hunting.
Li Yuming led eight tanks all the way to fight fiercely, the Stuart was a medium tank during World War II, the relatively small 37 mm main gun hit the opponent's tank very hard, there was no big threat to the front armor of the main battle tank, but to hit such an infantry improvised firepower point is simply no different from a joke.
The moving Stuart's turret kept turning, stopping and killing the distant firing points with tank guns, and the closer ones rushed straight up and crushed them, letting the tank's steel tracks crush all the firepower, including the men and arms.
The tank unit of the independent brigade rushed through like a sharp sword, followed by Wei Gang's machine gun battalion, large-caliber high-grade machine guns, in the face of groups of infantry, the casualties caused in the state of close range were terrifying, and the interval and short point E smashed the soldiers of the 203rd Division into bloody and blurred pieces.
Wei Gang put aside the guards and signal soldiers, carried a walkie-talkie behind him, and while constantly giving orders, he also held a high-altitude machine gun himself, and fired at a target that could be seen in his sight, and directly hit the fortifications and firepower points temporarily erected by the soldiers of the 203rd Division, and used large-caliber machine gun bullets to penetrate and collapse this firepower.
The Independence Brigade used ferocious firepower to wipe out all the obstacles in its path, blasting the grass and trees to ashes, the stones to pieces, and the bloody body to pieces.
There is a limit to people's psychological endurance, and this die-hard 203rd Division was able to withstand the fierce attack of the independent brigade for more than 20 minutes, and finally wavered after a large number of casualties among officers and men, and there was no hope of victory or the consequences of working hard to get it back, and some individual soldiers quietly slipped back.
This kind of behavior is like a contagion, there is a first, there is a second, there is a second, there is a third, and gradually more and more soldiers escaped, and then they collectively gave up resistance and ran back.
The officers of the 203rd Division were anxious and shouted at their soldiers not to run, but on the battlefield where the guns were loud, and in battles where there were several or a dozen deaths per second, the shouts of these officers seemed so pale and weak.
Shouting can't solve the problem, shooting a few in a row still can't solve the problem, these officers mean that the general trend is irreversible, Niu Baying's 203rd Division is completely defeated this time, and it is very likely that there will be no chance to make a comeback after such a defeat.
Li Yong's walkie-talkie heard the excited shouts of several front-line commanders at the same time: "Brigade commander, brigade commander, the enemy has been defeated, and the 203rd Division has fled." ”
The shouts in front made Li Yong's heart completely put in his stomach now, Brigade Commander Li understood very well that the defeat was like a mountain, no matter how strong the enemy was, it didn't matter what combat effectiveness was if he was defeated, the victory was once again caught, and the 203rd Division could no longer have room for turn, as long as the 203rd Division was defeated, the 57th Army would not be far from being finished.
"The whole brigade has it, don't stop for a moment, speed up and rush over, don't entangle with the enemy's rout, the goal, attack and advance to the corps headquarters of the 57th Army." Li Yong's roar was clearly heard on the walkie-talkies of dozens of independent brigades.
The 203rd Division is equipped with a large number of cars, but it is impossible to use cars to attack the positions of the Fourth Division, so the cars are stored in the back, and there is no time to think about what cars are chased by the troops of the People's Liberation Army.
At this time, the officers and men of the 203rd Division no longer had the rampant vigor they had before, and they squatted in groups on both sides of the road waiting for containment, and brand-new American-style weapons were thrown everywhere.
In addition to the tank unit led by Li Yuming, the independent brigade was followed by Wei Gang's machine gun battalion, and the infantry battalion following the machine gun battalion also ran crazy at this time, chasing, chasing, chasing, chasing him, taking out the old tradition of the Eighth Route Army, catching the toad and pinching it out. t@。
