Chapter 515 Battle of the Yellow River Iron Bridge in Lanzhou

The Tsing Ma Army, which was counterattacking towards the breach, was beaten back head-on by the 1st and 2nd Battalions that suddenly appeared, and the submachine guns with short firepower showed extraordinary power in the close combat between the two armies, and one Toma submachine gun was enough to fight an infantry squad of the Ma Jiajun.

Li Jiangguo and Ma Quanyou are both veterans of many years of fighting, and the ability of soldiers from the old Eighth Route to capture fighters on the battlefield is incomparable, and the two of them commanded the troops to attack quickly after attacking the breakthrough, and surrounded the blocking troops of the Green Horse Army from both sides, and the submachine guns that fired in bursts knocked the soldiers of the Green Horse Army holding sabers and rifles to the ground one by one.

The news was quickly transmitted to the general headquarters of the Ma Jiajun.

"The large army of the communist army occupies the gap in the city wall, the brothers cannot attack it, the casualties are too great, the military seat - what should I do?" In the Ma family army system in Lanzhou City, it is the descendant of the 82nd Army under the personal command of Ma Jiyuan, and the commander-in-chief is just ordinary people.

Ma Jiyuan Tie blushed his face and replied through gritted teeth: "If you can't attack it, you will stay there, and you will die with the communist army, and I will give you another regiment to push the communist army back." ”

Li Yong commanded the first and second battalions to attack on both sides, expand the breakthrough, and use the third and fourth battalions to attack head-on, striving to defeat the counterattack troops of the Qingma Army in one go, and open a way for the follow-up large forces to kill.

The 1st and 2nd Battalions, which had occupied the breakthrough, did not blindly pursue it, but quickly gathered their troops after destroying the counterattack troops of the Ma Jiajun, cleared the battlefield in their place, and built simple infantry field fortifications to facilitate another battle.

The city wall was blown up, but only the upper half was blown up, the collapsed city wall bricks were piled up several meters high, the infantry could climb up with a little effort, and the tank troops had no way to get through, and the previous dozens of artillery fighters were able to push the enemy back precisely because they hid their bodies on the collapsed city wall, and with the help of the advantage in height, they threw the grenades far and accurately, to put it bluntly, a bit of a fluke.

While the first and second battalions were clearing and consolidating their positions, the third and fourth battalions of the second echelon also arrived, and with the reinforcement of the third and fourth battalions, the troops continued to develop in depth and stabilize the breakthrough.

At the same time as the 3rd and 4th battalions arrived, the Qingma Army also transferred a regiment of support troops, hoping to take advantage of the fact that the PLA was not firmly established to drive out the independent brigade.

The battalion of the independent brigade is full of more than 1,000 people, and the four infantry battalions are enough to withstand the two regiments of the ordinary army.

Li Jiangguo, the commander of the first battalion, muttered nonchalantly: "Hehe, it takes a little effort to hide in the fortifications, it's great to jump out now, prepare for battle." ”

The mortars equipped with the four infantry battalions opened fire at the same time, blocking the head, cutting the tail, and hitting the middle, and the front one swept with Makqin heavy machine guns, and the fire attack lasted only five or six minutes, and the troops that counterattacked by the Green Horse Army were completely scattered, and the corpses filled the entire street with blood all over the ground.

The four infantry combat battalions of the Independent Brigade opened fire together, the fire was as fierce as a storm, and the battle ended surprisingly quickly, so that before the submachine guns in the hands of some soldiers could fire, a whole regiment of the Ma Jiajun was defeated, and in the case of a large difference in equipment and firepower, the light infantry of the Ma Jiajun was only slaughtered in front of the Independent Brigade.

By the time Li Yong and Wang Chengde came up with the brigade headquarters and the fifth battalion and reconnaissance battalion of the third echelon, the gap had almost been cleared, and in the distance were the corpses of the soldiers of the Qingma Army, and the red plasma had dyed the whole street red.

Li Yong was not moved by the miserable scenery in front of him, the war was originally cruel, if the independent brigade did not have suppressive firepower, it might be his own soldiers lying on the ground now.

Wang Laohu, the commander of the fifth battalion who followed Li Yong, didn't say anything, this steady old soldier just carefully observed the route where the troops were about to attack, but Zhang Jinsong, who served as the third-echelon reconnaissance battalion commander with the fifth battalion, was different, Zhang Jinsong pulled his neck and shouted: "Damn, what kind of battle is this, Lao Tzu rushed up without firing a shot, brigade commander, it's not okay to fight like this, I ask that our reconnaissance battalion be changed to an echelon, and we can't let Li Jiangguo and them do all the good things, it's not fair." ”

Li Yong ignored Zhang Jinsong's random shouting, but it was political commissar Wang Chengde who glared at him: "Don't mess around, hurry up the reconnaissance line and see if the tank battalion can come in." ”

Zhang Jinsong ran away, he also knew that if he continued to make trouble, it was very likely that he would be criticized, even if the brigade commander ignored him, the political commissar would not be able to spare him, maybe he would have to write an inspection later, writing an inspection is a big worrying matter, it is better to find some work to do.

It didn't take long for Zhang Jinsong to bring the report with the reconnaissance battalion, and the tank battalion could barely drive in.

The tenacity of the Qingma Army is indeed different, and the Kuomintang troops in other places may scatter after encountering this kind of situation where the city wall is blown up, but the Ma Jiajun in Lanzhou City knows that the fierce and auspicious ones are still desperately resisting, and they want to continue to deal with the Northwest Field Army in the city.

Seeing that the gap in the city wall had been almost cleared, Li Yong ordered the tank troops to quickly enter the city and form a joint assault force with the infantry, each tank was equipped with an infantry squad to form an attack detachment, and fought street battles with the Ma Jiajun in the city.

The city wall exploded, and the breakthrough was stabilized, but the battle was not over, and the next was an even more brutal street battle in Lanzhou City.

The total number of tanks and armored vehicles in the independent brigade is more than 100, although the number is quite a lot, but there are few good ones, most of them are old models, the caliber of the artillery is not large, and the hunting and destroying ability is limited, but one thing is that these old tanks and armored vehicles are a little powerless to fight the opponent's tanks, and it is more than enough to deal with ordinary infantry, civilian houses and firepower points.

The advantage of armored weapons is that they have fierce firepower, armor protection, and are a combination of spear and shield, but the disadvantage is that the shooting blind angle is large, and it is easy to be destroyed by the opponent with anti-tank weapons at close range.

Seeing this, Li Yong mixed the infantry and tank crews in street battles, and used infantry and armored troops to fight together, making use of their respective advantages to learn from each other's strong points and complement each other's weaknesses.

An infantry squad of the Independent Brigade had more than 20 personnel, and it was a reinforced infantry squad, and the squad composed of such an infantry squad and a tank was fully capable of meeting the various requirements of street fighting at that time, and was a sharp weapon for street fighting.

Just as the street fighting squad of the Independent Brigade was formed and was preparing to assault Lanzhou City in depth, Li Jia, the guard and communications platoon commander, ran over out of breath, and Li Jia conveyed the order of his superiors: The military headquarters ordered our brigade to stand by and wait for instructions from superiors.

Li Yong and Wang Chengde were a little puzzled, the Lanzhou Battle was a critical moment, and the independent brigade that opened the breakthrough had an innate advantage, and it was a good opportunity to assault the city.

However, orders were falling like a mountain, and reasonable and unreasonable must be carried out, and Li Yong ordered the troops to temporarily stop operations and stand by in place.

The waiting time was anxious, and in fact it did not take long, the military headquarters of the Sixth Army, as well as the army reserve and the 17th Division, all arrived.

Commander Luo Yuanfa of the Sixth Army laughed and shouted, "How is it? Our great heroes are in a hurry, it's useless to be anxious, the field army headquarters has a new order for you, and your current position will be taken over by the 17th Division. ”

Li Yong and Wang Chengde were even more puzzled, how could it be an order from the field army headquarters, this guy seems that Mr. Peng and the leaders of the first cadre are used to using the independent brigade, but this is a good thing, the two of them ran to Commander Luo Yuanfa, stood up and saluted: Commander, the independent brigade is ready, please instruct.

"Dayong, it's not easy to eat in a pot, I really want to keep you for a few more days, but I can't." When Commander Luo Yuanfa said this, he suddenly became stern: "The headquarters orders your brigade to carry forward the spirit of our army's continuous combat, not afraid of sacrifice and fatigue, and take advantage of your strong mobility to quickly go around to the north of Lanzhou City and seize the iron bridge of the Yellow River." ”

Li Yong and Wang Chengde looked at each other, good guy, seizing the Yellow River Iron Bridge, this task is not simple: "Please rest assured, the chief, resolutely complete the task." ”

Commander Luo Yuanfa asked the guards to take out a map of the fortifications of Lanzhou City and spread it on the ground full of rubble: "Let me give you a brief introduction to the current battlefield situation of our army and the Qingma Army, after all the enemy's peripheral positions have been solved, our army has launched a fierce attack on Lanzhou with all five armies, including our feet, two city walls have been blown up, and the troops are about to enter the city to fight street battles with the enemy, the field army headquarters means that your brigade will seize the Yellow River Iron Bridge, the enemy's only escape route, in the shortest possible time, Block all the main forces of the Qingma Army in Lanzhou City, strive to annihilate them in one fell swoop, and create conditions for our army to enter the ethnic minority areas in the northwest in the future. ”

Okay, don't worry, Commander, we'll get the job done. Li Yong and Wang Chengde were excited.

Luo Yuanfa: "The task is very important, you can't underestimate the enemy's heart, do you remember our best strategy and tactics?" Dead pigs should also be fought as live pigs, not to mention that the enemy is not a dead pig, the troops placed by the Qingma Army near the iron bridge of the Yellow River are, the Eighth Cavalry Division, the Fourteenth Cavalry Brigade, the new First Division, and the commander is Ma Ying, the commander of the Eighth Cavalry Division. ”

Commander Luo laughed again when he introduced this: "Hahaha, the Eighth Cavalry Division and the Fourteenth Cavalry Brigade are all defeated under you, only this new First Division has not yet met you, but I don't think they can get any good fruit to eat, this is the specific formation of the enemy." ”
