The second teaching brigade in the bitter battle of the 265th Battle of Xifu

When the first attack was unsuccessful, the 82nd Division of the Green Horse Army took less than a moment to reorganize its ranks, and then launched a second attack on the position of the Sixth Column Teaching Brigade of the Northwest Field Army.

The strategic intention of the 82 nd Division was to go around behind the Northwest Field Army, cut off the field army's retreat back to the old liberated areas, and use such a sudden move to disrupt the field army's logistical supply and shake the determination of the commanders and fighters.

Taking advantage of the cavalry, using surprise tactics to cooperate with the frontal attack of the Pei Changhui Corps, the contradiction between Ma Bufang and Hu Zongnan in Qinghai is not, but this time after the Northwest Field Army captured Baoji, Ma Bufang also felt a huge threat, so the reinforcements were also very active.

Therefore, the position of the Sixth Column Teaching Brigade is very critical, and if it is broken through by the cavalry of the 82nd Division, it will be like being stabbed in the back, and the field army will also fall into the dilemma of fighting on two sides.

The three cavalry regiments, with nearly 7,000 horses and soldiers, rushed up with a much larger posture than the infantry, and the smoke and soil raised by the horses' hooves covered the battlefield.

The soldiers of the teaching brigade had to aim and shoot at the beginning, but later, in the face of the overwhelming rush of the 82nd Division, they did not talk about aiming or not, but just shot at the brigade, and now they wanted to shoot, and use the density of bullets to counteract the fierceness of the enemy's charge.

Besides, although the distance of 500 meters is within the effective range of rifles and machine guns, there is no difference between aiming at such a distance and not aiming, even if there is a sniper rifle, you have to calculate the deviation and wind of the bullet, and you also have to calculate the advance of the war horse to run.

The front-line positions of the teaching brigade were all thrown into battle, light and heavy machine guns and artillery were killed, the shells of the "boom, boom" mortars exploded in the cavalry group, and each shell exploded to pick up a few horses, and the soldiers with rifles in their hands were also addicted this time, and the commander shouted loudly: "Just shoot at the cavalry, no need to aim, shoot quickly." ”

Since it is not easy to do without aiming, the soldiers probably pulled the trigger on the cavalry rushing over after the bullet was loaded, and then loaded after the bullet was discharged, anyway, it was an action, loaded shot, or loaded shot.

Fortunately, after taking Baoji, a lot of Hu Zongnan's stockpiled materials were seized, and now the ammunition is very sufficient, and each soldier has at least more than 150 rifle bullets, so he can still afford to do this, otherwise I really don't know what to do when each soldier only had a few bullets before?

Only the soldiers with submachine guns in their hands were watching the excitement on the position, and the squad leaders and deputy squad leaders of each infantry combat squad were basically equipped with submachine guns, and the submachine guns were really useless to the cavalry a few hundred meters away.

The commander's method of asking the soldiers to shoot quickly really worked, and the bullets weaved a net of fire in front of the position, and the cavalry of the 82nd Division suffered a large number of casualties as soon as they began to charge, and the running horses were constantly knocked down, and the soldiers on horseback were immediately trampled to death by the horses that could not be evaded later.

Ma Jiyuan, the commander of the 82nd Division, who was observing from behind, saw that his troops were being killed by the fire of the PLA on the opposite side in piles, so angry that he threw down the cigarette butt in his mouth, came to the heavy machine gun position, kicked one of the shooters aside, and raised a heavy machine gun himself to strafe the position of the teaching brigade.

The style of the young man is indeed different from that of the old warlord, although Ma Jiyuan's technique of operating heavy machine guns is not very good, but it is very morale-inspiring, most of the officers of Ma Jiajun's army have a certain kinship with Ma Bufang's family, and they are also very cohesive, seeing Ma Jiyuan doing this, they also manipulated machine guns to shoot, and the soldiers below shouted wildly: "Brothers, rush up hard, the division commander used heavy machine guns to cover our charge." ”

The 82nd Division each placed more than a dozen heavy machine guns on both sides of the charging cavalry, adding up to about 30 guns, which was a rather headache firepower.

The salvo of dozens of heavy machine guns made the teaching brigade feel unprecedented pressure, and the dense heavy machine gun bullets caused the fighters on the position to suffer casualties continuously.

With the suppression of the heavy machine guns, the degree of shooting of the soldiers has also decreased, the charging cavalry is getting closer and closer, and the ruthlessness of the Green Horse Army is revealed at this time, even if there is only one person left in a platoon of dozens of people, this guy still keeps rushing forward.

Brigade Commander Chen Haihan's command post was not far behind the position, and he could see the battlefield situation very clearly without a telescope, and he kept shouting to the commanders at all levels at the front on the phone: "Increase the firepower, increase the firepower, and we must control the momentum of the cavalry charge." ”

Compared with the 82nd Division of the Kuomintang that was charging frantically, the firepower of the teaching brigade was too thin, and the soldiers also knew the benefits of increasing the degree of firing, but a rifle is a rifle after all, and no matter how much it fires, it cannot become a machine gun.

The roaring cavalry approached a distance of several tens of meters, and at this time the warriors threw rows of grenades together.

The grenade was indeed very effective, and the shrapnel from the explosion brought huge casualties to the charging cavalry, but this time the 82nd Division attacked three regiments, and the three cavalry regiments charged together so that the soldiers could not cope with it, and the war horses killed by the grenade were about to fall into the trench by inertia.

The firepower of the teaching brigade inflicted heavy casualties on the enemy, but there was also a part of the position that was about to be broken through by the cavalry, and at this time it was obvious that the old warriors were suzhì, and when the cavalry approached a distance of more than ten meters, it was too late to shoot, and the soldiers who held their positions jumped out of the trenches with a roar, and the soldiers not only did not retreat, but used the bayonets of their rifles in their hands to pick up the cavalry on the horses.

If you want to fight with the cavalry, you must jump out of the trench, and only when you reach the flat ground can you get the cavalry on horseback, otherwise you will not fight with bayonets but with knives.

A white-knuckle battle immediately unfolded on the position, bayonet to saber, blood to blood, flesh and blood flying, although the equipment of the Green Horse Army is not as good as the Central Army, but the ruthlessness of the battle is much stronger than Hu Zongnan's troops, even the soldiers who died on the horses screamed and rushed up with their sabers.

The soldiers of the teaching brigade first killed the rushing horses with submachine guns, and then fought with the fallen cavalry with bayonets.

It has to be said that the veterans of the teaching brigade were fearless in the face of the shiny sabers, and used their skills to fight bayonets with devils and tore them apart with the cavalry of the 82nd Division.

The Teaching Brigade is the hardest unit of the Sixth Column, a very famous unit in the Northwest Field Army, and also an old unit of Commander Luo Yuan; during the defense of Yan'an, it was this brigade that relied on its rudimentary weapons and Hu Zongnan's Central Army to stand up for seven days and seven nights, winning valuable time for the central organs to withdraw from Yan'an.

In the teaching brigade, there are many veteran soldiers who are from the old Eighth Road, and the soldiers from the old Eighth Road are very good at fighting bayonets.

(The Eighth Route Army, which did not have a few bullets, could only fight close combat with the devils, and only when they rushed together could they have the possibility of victory, in the words of the old Eighth Route Army, "as soon as the machine gun goes off, a few shells are smashed, and then a few grenades are thrown down and they start to charge.") ”）

Fighting with the devil for several years, at the beginning, the Japanese 6th Army attached great importance to the stabbing technique, and the skills of the veterans were also very good, but with the depletion of soldiers, later, there were fewer and fewer well-trained veterans, and most of the soldiers who went abroad to participate in the war were teenagers, and some women were mixed with them, and the veterans of the Eighth Route Army were more and more, at this time the Japanese 6th Army tried to avoid fighting bayonets with the Eighth Route Army.

At this time, there were white-knuckle battles in many positions of the teaching brigade, and the soldiers simply used bayonets to clean up the cavalry that broke through, how high did Brigade Commander Chen Haihan's anger rise, what was going on? The enemy has just started two attacks, and he has to rely on fighting bayonets to defeat the enemy, what will he do in the future? How can the battle be fought?

It is no wonder that Brigade Commander Chen Haihan is very angry, the strength of the 82nd Division of the Kuomintang has not been fully utilized, and it seems that even half of the strength has not been used, so that the position of the teaching brigade has fallen into a very dangerous situation.

The defeated cavalry left behind the corpses of the horses and soldiers, and ran back panting, and one by one the officers said to the horse support: "Division commander, we have been beaten down twice in the attack, but the communist army also has a problem, although their soldiers are very desperate, but there is not much firepower, and there is no reserve force, just now they have been in a hurry, I think we will rush again." ”

Ma Jiyuan nodded: "That's reasonable, I'm going to see if the communist army can stop our 82nd Division from attacking a few times, come here, and transfer the heavy artillery battalion to me." ”

As we explained earlier, this 82nd Division is different from other cavalry units, not only is it fully manned, but also has a heavy artillery unit, Ma Bufang handed over the heavy artillery battalion from Chiang Kai-shek to his eldest son Ma Jiyuan, and more than 20 cannons are brand-new American-style 1o5 mm howitzers, which were pulled by car from behind under the order of Ma Jiyuan.

Ma Jiyuan shouted viciously on the phone: "Listen to me, wait a while, first bombard the communist army's position back and forth with artillery fire a few times, don't be afraid of wasting shells, I will go to the old chief (Ma Bufang) to give you as many as you want, and shoot all the shells in your hand." ”

Just when the 82nd Division was arranging the next attack, the position of the teaching brigade was not idle, and Brigade Commander Chen made use of all the forces that could be used and organized the brigade headquarters into a commando team to deal with the enemy's possible and larger attacks.

Brigade Commander Chen Haihan knew very well the power in his hands, and when he repelled the enemy's two attacks, he basically used all his strength, although the soldiers were very brave, but the weapons were really not good, and the lack of shooting weapons and cavalry confrontation was too much of a loss.
