Just when the tragic battle was at its most stalemate, Brigade Commander Gao threw away his hat and threw off the cotton clothes on his body, and this young old Red Army soldier was shirtless, revealing scars all over his body, and shouted to his troops with bayonets: "Comrades, the time has come to make meritorious contributions, fight the enemy down, kill." β
It was the coldest time of the year, the temperature at night dropped to minus ten or twenty degrees, such weather was dripping into ice, the soldiers were moved by their brigade commander, and also threw off their clothes, shirtless, holding bloody bayonets, following their brigade commander, and throwing themselves upwards like life.
Aren't you Qingma Army good to dare to fight hard, aren't you good to say that you are not afraid of death, today I will let you see what it means to not be afraid of death, and what it means to dare to work hard.
The battle to this kind of Cheng dΓΉ is not said to be tactics and skills, the two armies compete with will and courage, as the so-called two armies meet the brave wins, and the most important thing for the PLA troops armed with the best ideology is will and courage.
The bayonet was bent and picked up from the corpses of the sacrificed comrades, and then the rifle was thrown away, and the saber of Ma Jiajun was picked up and put on again.
The shirtless brigade commander Gao kept breaking forward, the bayonet was twisted from the body of a Ma family soldier and then pulled out violently, the sharp knife edge of the 38-type rifle dagger tore the opponent's body open, and the internal organs of the screak flowed out with hot air, and the high brigade commander didn't even move his eyebrows, he was used to such a scene, kicked the enemy away and then found the next opponent.
Several guards followed him closely with bayonets or sabers, this old Red Army soldier had never gone to school seriously, nor had he seriously practiced fighting bayonets, but since he was a teenager in the Red Army, he had been fighting with the enemy in the army for nearly 20 years, fighting with the Kuomintang, fighting with the Japanese, and his work was practiced in the moment of countless contacts with death, and his sharp eyes made people look cold.
Gradually, the eyes of the soldiers of the Ma family army showed a look of fear, their eyes were glazed, their steps were slow, and their hands holding the saber were unsteady, and the whole army slowly retreated.
Ma Desheng, the commander of the 258th Division, the fierce general of the Green Horse Army, Ma Bufang's cronies gasped for breath at the back of the team, and his yellow-brown eyes were full of disbelief, yes, the communist army was too hard, hard to be true.
An officer shouted beside him: "Big brother, you can't fight anymore, the brothers have suffered too many casualties, and if we continue to fight like this, our 258th Division will be enough, let's withdraw." β
Ma Desheng grabbed the reins of the horse hard, and the joints on his fingers turned white because of the force: "It was not easy to catch the communist army, I am unwilling to withdraw like this, how can I explain to Commander Hu if I withdraw it?" β
"Big brother, you are confused, you can explain to Hu Zongnan after you have put together the old book with the communist army, he, a student of Chairman Jiang, is happy, but think about it, how can you go back and explain to our old commander? Do you want to be shot or want to be removed, you don't know the means of the old commander. β
As soon as this officer said this, Ma Desheng's eyes seemed to see a cold light in the eyes of Ma Bufang, the supreme commander of the Green Horse Army, who narrowed slightly.
Ma Desheng shivered all over his body, yes, he just wanted to talk to Hu Zongnan and pat his ass, why did he forget his old commander, the 258th Division is the elite of the Green Horse Army, and it is really going to be exhausted, and the old commander can't spare himself.
"Big brother, our old commander is ruthless, it doesn't matter who you are, have you forgotten what happened to Ma Biao?" Ma Biao was a close nephew of Ma Bufang, and was shot dead when he was the regiment commander for violating military orders.
Ma Desheng sighed: "Okay, just listen to you, order the troops, and withdraw." β
The 258th Division of the Ma Family Army, which received the order, retreated like water, and the soldiers rushed to get on their horses and run, and they couldn't see that they were retreating at all, no different from a rout.
Ma De shouted victoriously: "Steady, steady, all *** for Lao Tzu to stabilize." "But it was steady, and it didn't work for him to shout at this time.
As soon as the team in the back withdrew, the soldiers who were still fighting with the People's Liberation Army in front immediately panicked, ***, the one behind them dumped us, go to his grandmother's, run.
This is one of the weaknesses of the Ma Jiajun, when attacking, it is very fierce, but once the troops face difficulties and can't resist retreating, they are nothing, just like a nest dog, when they go up to bite people, they rush in a swarm, and when they are beaten back by a stick, they can't care about anyone.
In order to better control the troops in their own hands, they had to use their relatives and friends as commanders at all levels.
The soldiers who were fighting with the PLA turned around and ran, with no tactics to speak of, and there was no section to cover the retreat. (It's really not to belittle the Ma family army here, the Ma family army in history is like this, it was very fierce when it attacked, and it was chaotic when it retreated)
The opportunity is rare, the soldiers chased after their buttocks, the bolts of the 38, 79 rifles in their hands rang out, the bullets snapped and snapped out, and the fleeing soldiers of the Ma family army were shot one after another and fell, luckily the horses were caught on the horses and ran, and the war horses were killed or ran away can only be explained by the soldiers' random guns.
Some people may ask, why didn't you shoot when you were fighting bayonets just now, the PLA troops have an old saying, submachine guns and grenades, melee money is not exchanged, but this refers to a unit equipped with a large number of submachine guns, such as the 10th Brigade, where most of the soldiers still hold rifles.
Like the 38 rifle, the accuracy is very good, but the penetration of the slender bullet is also very good, it is normal for a bullet to knock down two people, and when you are fighting together, it is likely that you will knock down your comrades when you suddenly shoot, plus every shot has to be loaded with a bullet, which is very likely to be killed by the opponent when you load the bullet, and the relationship between life and death is determined by a few tenths of a second when fighting a bayonet, to put it bluntly, there is no time to load your rifle when fighting a bayonet.
And the rumor that the Japanese army unloaded the bullet every time they fought hand-to-hand was not the spirit of bushido, but they were afraid of accidentally injuring their own people, not only did the Japanese army not shoot when they fought hand-to-hand combat, but also did not shoot when the Eighth Route Army, which had the name of the Eighth Route Army with three shots, and the little devil fought with bayonets.
The ammunition of the Eighth Route Army is very small, and there is no way to consume firepower from a long distance with the Japanese army, the most common method of operation is to try to get as close to the enemy as possible in every battle, and after firing three bullets and throwing out a grenade, they will rush up to fight with the enemy hand-to-hand.
Later, after years of battlefield training, the troops of the Eighth Route Army summed up an experience, like the Japanese army, it is a rigid tactical idea to return the bullet in the chamber before each hand-to-hand combat, and the tactics of the Eighth Route Army stipulate that one bullet should be kept in the chamber (and only one bullet can be retained) before each hand-to-hand combat, and this bullet is not allowed to be used indiscriminately, but to shoot the opponent's leg or foot before the battle, and then fight with the opponent to achieve the greatest effect.
Go back and talk about the 10th Brigade, this is a gritted tooth and hard battle, although the Qingma Army has been fighting, but the casualties of the soldiers are too great, sometimes it is one to one and the enemy is exchanged back, Gao Brigade Commander told the soldiers not to chase too far, immediately clean up the battlefield and prepare to transfer.
Brigade Commander Gao is a commander with rich experience in battlefield command, and he is very aware of the current situation of the troops, although he has won, but it is also a tragic victory, the physical consumption of the soldiers is extremely high, and the enemy's cavalry is not just a 258th division, if it is entangled by other cavalry units at this time, it will be bad.
The whole battlefield was a mess, the corpses of both the enemy and the enemy were mixed, the broken guns were everywhere, the soldiers buried the sacrificed comrades in place, and the undead war horses were grabbed to carry the wounded and captured weapons and ammunition, the Green Horse Army was not rich, but what was there, it couldn't be fought in a battle and nothing could be fished, the four thighs of the dead horses were cut off as military rations, and the 10th Brigade disappeared into the vast mountains after half an hour.
A small ravine is not big, there are only five or six households, and it is already dark, according to the work and rest habits of the people in the northwest, most of them lie down and sleep at this time, but there is a few candles burning in the window of one house.
Take a closer look, good guys, in the woods, under the roots of the mountains, there are soldiers of the Northwest Field Army everywhere, on a cold day, camping outside is the most sinful thing, the troops have tried all kinds of ways to resist the cold, of course it is good to have tents, but there are not many such rare things, although some have been captured in recent battles, it is still not enough.
Fortunately, there were many local fighters in the troops, and under the command of these fighters, the troops dug holes and caves in squads and platoons.
It's still easy to do things with a lot of people, and it's easy to do things with everyone's wisdom, isn't it, after more than an hour, most of the troops have lived in the caves that have just been dug up, and they can't be called caves, just some big holes, but these temporarily dug holes have no windows and doors, but it is enough to make a fire in the hole to resist the cold wind.
The person who showed a few candles was the headquarters of the Northwest Field Army, and some leaders, including Mr. Peng, were nervously waiting for news from the Tenth Brigade.
