Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
The fifth battalion commander, Wang Laohu, ordered the drivers of their battalion to move forward at full speed, and to raise the speed at the risk of overturning, he was very steady, and the soldiers wondered what happened to their battalion commander today, why did he do this? Doesn't this match Wang Laohu's usual style?
The reason is very simple, because Wang Laohu, based on his understanding of the enemy and his own troops, knows that with the strong combat effectiveness of the Duli Brigade, the bandits besieging Yiwu will not last long, and the bandits who can't hold out will soon withdraw, so they, who are responsible for blocking the buttocks, must rush to the position in time.
The driver used all his strength to finally reach the designated position within the time specified by the brigade commander, but before the soldiers could take a breath before building the fortifications, and even before some soldiers jumped off the car, they heard the sound of a large number of war horses' hooves hitting the ground in the distance.
The soldiers of the Duli Brigade have dealt with the cavalry many times, from the earliest to the east area to the later army of the two horses on the northwest battlefield, many times with the cavalry, have already played experience, the fifth battalion commander Wang Laohu turned over and jumped on the top of the cab of the car, with a telescope to observe carefully
The sight in the mirror was very clear, and I saw a large force of black cavalry running in the distance, and people shouted and neighed, like a large dark cloud floating against the ground, and I couldn't figure out how many bandits had retreated from this direction.
Oops, what a fucking bandit brigade, yes, fishing again.
Wang Laohu was very excited, he didn't say anything in his mouth, he was proud in his heart, hehe, he really let us run into it.
Because there were several battalions sent out by the Duli Brigade to block the gap, it was uncertain which direction the bandits would withdraw from. That battalion can block the bandits with a lot of randomness, to put it simply, whoever can block the bandits will make a great contribution, and the other battalions can only be left behind.
The soldiers also understood this truth, and said strange things to each other: "It seems that we are still angry, you said that these bandits, why did they withdraw from the defensive place of our battalion, and even God took care of us, hey, it is really a good fate, even the gods can't stop it." It's time for us to make meritorious contributions. β
Another soldier also followed Hu to explain: "What's this, it's good because our battalion commander's name is good, think about it, tiger, it must eat meat at a critical time." β
Wang Laohu didn't bother to pay attention to the nonsense of his soldiers. Instead, he shouted and gave the order: "The whole battalion is ready to fight, hurry up." Machine gun platoon. Artillery platoon, put all your equipment in the front. β
To deal with the fast cavalry, it is necessary to have strong firepower to support, otherwise it is very likely to let the enemy rush over, in that case, not only will the task assigned by the brigade commander Li Yong not be completed, but also bring heavy losses to the troops. Wang Laohu understood this truth very well, and in a hurry he showed the family background of their five battalions, and the two heavy firepower platoons in the battalion were placed at the forefront by him.
I was so nervous that I watched the bandits' brigade withdraw from the direction of the fifth battalion's defense. The soldiers did not have time to build fortifications and find something to cover their terrain features, so they urgently launched a combat team under the order of the battalion commander Wang Laohu, using cars as cover and deploying defenses on the spot.
Light and heavy machine guns were placed at the front at certain intervals, and the ammunition hand nervously opened the box and inserted the bullet chain, and the yellow bullet was dragged long on the chain.
In the blink of an eye, the frantically withdrawn brigade of bandit cavalry entered the effective firing range of 200 meters, and Wang Laohu ordered steadily: "Artillery platoon, fire." β
Unlike the soldiers of the first battalion, the fifth battalion used a car to maneuver behind the bandits' buttocks, and the small mortars were not disassembled and marched, so the speed of entering the combat state was very fast, and more than 20 small mortars were fired in a volley under the order of the battalion commander Wang Laohu, and the sound of the "tom tom tom" small cannon ejecting the chamber was uniform.
Under the command of the red flag in the hands of the artillery platoon commander, the movements of the soldiers were uniform, and the fifth battalion had not fought like this for a long time, that is to say, since the troops entered the XinjiΔng, the artillery platoon rarely had the opportunity to fire a salvo together, and Wang Laohu's order made the soldiers all excited.
The rate of fire of the artillery guns was very fast, and with the firing pack pressed, the rate of fire of twenty mortars per minute and the density of shells could reach a considerable scale.
The small cannonballs slid down the barrel gently, slid to the bottom of the barrel, and then quickly launched under the impetus of the gunpowder pack, and the small cannonballs that fell from the sky fell in groups in the middle of the horse team of the bandit cavalry, and the men and horses fell one after another in the roaring explosion.
The battalion commander Wang Laohu kept shouting: "Concentrate fire and shoot, hit the cavalry that he rushed to the front, and slow down the speed of the bandits, fast." β
The biggest reliance of the cavalry is speed, and when the speed slows down, the advantage is gone, and the purpose of Wang Laohu letting the small mortar fire violently is to use the strong firepower to reduce the speed of the bandit brigade, and then slowly clean it up.
Loading and firing, loading and firing, under the order of the battalion commander, more than two dozen mortars fired at maximum speed, the explosions of "clang, clang" rang out one after another, dense small shells flew over like flocks of sparrows, and then blasted out walls of fire in front of the horse team.
Beat hard, hit head-on, the bandits who withdrew in a hurry were too dense, so dense that every shell could harvest the lives of a few people and horses, and a few dozen shells could empty a large area, and a rapid fire of the artillery platoon of the fifth battalion had at least knocked out hundreds of withdrawn bandit cavalry, and there was no way to figure out the specific results.
Most of the bandits who were killed were the so-called warriors who rushed to the front, and the living people behind slowed down in panic, tightened the reins, and ran in circles to the back and sides, and the front was really unpassable.
The artillery platoon's rapid attack blew up the withdrawn bandit brigade head-on, which won time for Wang Laohu's fifth battalion to deploy calmly, and the battalion commander Wang Laohu loudly praised the soldiers of the artillery platoon: "You did a good job, and after the battle is over, I will report to the brigade party committee to ask you for credit." β
As soon as the fast horse turned around and ran back, the bandit officer ran to Iliel who was in the back line: "Miss, the situation is not good, we have the main force of the communist army in front of us to intercept, at least dozens of small mortars are firing, and the brothers have suffered great casualties. β
Iliel was really anxious at this time, she pulled her neck and shouted at the officer: "You are talking nonsense, the communist army is bombarding us with heavy artillery behind us, how can there be dozens of mortars in front, and the mortars are not the whips in your hand, will the communist army have so many." β
Iliel's suspicions are justified, mortars were very valuable weapons in the army at that time, it would be good to have a few in the general army, and the same is true for the PLA troops, it is simply unimaginable and too extravagant to be able to use dozens of small cannons together.
At the critical moment of life and death, the officer who came back to report the news also shouted: "Miss, the front must be the interception force of the communist army, the main force of the communist army, yes, people want to make us dumplings, you can quickly think of a way." β
Iliel's face contorted, and she shouted hoarsely: "There is no way to think about it, behind are communist tanks, heavy artillery and armored vehicles, turning back is a dead end, only by rushing past can there be a way to live, you will lead the team to rush over, whoever dares to take a step back will be shot on the spot." β
This female bandit is quite reasonable, the armored forces of the PLA behind are rumbling over, and the bandit cavalry does not even have the psychology of confronting the tanks, and only by rushing forward and breaking away the position of the PLA interception troops can everyone live.
The bandits besieging Yiwu were based on the original Seventh Cavalry Division, and after receiving Iriel's order, these capricious bandits also knew that it was time to sell their lives, and some officers agitated in the ranks: "Brothers, we have already descended once, and we have killed all the political commissars and instructors they sent over, there is no turning back, the catastrophe has been provoked, the communist army cannot spare us, it is death to go back, it is death to be caught by the communist army, it is better to rush over desperately, As long as you can rush through, you can live, and the brothers will rush with me. β
The words of these bandit officers were very clear and effective, and the rebellious bandits all knew that they, the original Qinghai Cavalry Fifth Army, and the current Seventh Cavalry Division, had human blood on their hands, and there was really no way to surrender again, only to fight hard.
The chaotic cavalry ranks were restless again, and thousands of cavalry bandits rushed forward with a howl, and under the cover of short fire, they rushed forward again, trying to tear apart the defense line of the fifth battalion commander Wang Laohu with their horses' hooves.
After the bandits' first assault was blown down by artillery fire, Wang Laohu finally had a little time to deploy calmly, he kept directing the soldiers to dig simple defense facilities in squads and platoons, each digging simple defense facilities, in preparation for the next attack against the bandits, Wang Laohu did not think that these fleeing habitual bandits would surrender, fortunately, most of the soldiers carried sapper shovels, and it was not a matter of much trouble to dig a simple individual bunker.
Iryl put to good use the few light and heavy machine guns she had in her hands and placed them on either side of the horse team to provide as much support as possible to the charging bandits.
Wow, the bandit cavalry of the brigade gathered again after the initial panic, and after knowing that there was no way to live, the ferocity in the blood of these habitual bandits was stimulated, rushed, and went out to fight with the communist army.
At the forefront of the defense line of the fifth battalion were more than 20 heavy machine guns of the machine gun platoon, and the soldiers dug out improvised machine gun bunkers in the rare attack gaps, and the deputy shooters used small sapper shovels to shoot the newly dug soil around the fortifications, while the old shooters leaned firmly in the bunkers to relax a little, and some even easily lit cigarettes and smoked.
