Chapter 367: The Sixty-fifth Division of the Libei Campaign
The fierce strike power of the People's Liberation Army made the attacking Kuomintang troops not breathe for a long time, and some of the officers and soldiers who were lucky enough to run back trembled as if they were stimulated, and they were frightened and dizzy, and they did not know if they would be able to recover in the future.

The main force of the Kuomintang attack force faced by the Sixth Column Teaching Brigade was the 160th Brigade of the 65th Division, and the heavy losses made the brigade commander Huang Zhiyu, the commander of this ** major general, thunderous, and this guy shouted at a cadre officer at his own headquarters: "How the hell did you reconnoitre, what kind of intelligence system?" And the communist army has no ammunition, is this still the communist army without ammunition? The firepower of the communist army is fiercer than ours, this is the communist army has set a clear trap for us to be fooled, is it a clear trap for us to be fooled, do you understand? Do you still think that the communist army has no ammunition, and it is all waste. ”
None of the officers dared to speak out, and the brigade commander was on fire, and it was not uncommon for him to be pulled out and shot at this time, so it was better not to speak when it was time to shut up.
Huang Zhiyu, who had been roaring for a while, slowly calmed down a little, stared at the ballballs of his eyes and gasped for breath, seeing that the brigade commander was no longer scolding, an officer boldly stepped forward and said: "Brigade seat, the communist army is too cunning, but it is not without a way to deal with it. ”
Huang Zhiyu looked at the officer, frowned and said, "There is something to say, there is a fart, when is it, and it is still verbose." ”
The officer scolded in his heart: Isn't it that you kid wants to be the commander of the division, the officer is obsessed, commanding the soldiers to rush up, and if the casualties are large, he will be taken down and angry, what does this have to do with us.
I thought so in my heart, but I didn't dare to say this: "Brigade seat, I have been observing the firepower of the communist army, according to my observation, although the infantry of the communist army is very fierce, but there is no heavy weapon, I mean the artillery firepower that can effectively suppress the infantry, so the artillery fire should be the biggest weakness of the communist army, as long as we find this weakness, we can come up with a way to deal with it." ”
Huang Zhiyu's eyes lit up, and what he said was that he had been competing with the communist army on the opposite side for almost a day, and he didn't see any artillery used by the Eighth Road, at most some mortars carried by the infantry, and these small cannons had no way to confront our ** heavy artillery.
"Let's talk about it, how can we make good use of the artillery in our hands, as long as our brigade can succeed, you are the chief of staff of our 65th Division, and I, Huang Zhiyu, will definitely protect you in front of the peak with my personality."
Although Huang Zhiyu didn't fight very well, he was still very good at taking advantage of people, and whether the lieutenant general and division commander of the 65th Division could be the commander of the division was not a word, so he made a wish to let the officer who came up with the idea be the chief of staff of the major general in the division, although it was a big pie, but the officer who came up with the idea still enjoyed this atmosphere very much, and it was better than nothing, if this kid could really become the lieutenant general and division commander of the 65th Division, he would still be able to promote himself, and there was hope.
The officer cleared his throat and said in a somewhat smug tone: "Brigade seat, the method is not complicated, first, we must increase the intensity of artillery fire in the next attack, not only to make use of all the artillery fire of our brigade, but also to ask for instructions to let the artillery of our 65th Division open fire together, and clean up the positions of the communist army back and forth with shells several times, and kill one more one, the communist army is also flesh and blood, and it is also raised by parents and parents, and if you don't believe it, you can't blow them up."
Second, it is necessary to give military orders to the tank troops, don't spoil them too much, fighting is not a good house, then there is a reason to run back when encountering hard stubble, the losses caused by this attack are caused by the tank troops fleeing too quickly, and the infantry is cooled at the front of the communist army's position, as long as the tank troops can withstand it, it will be easy to do, we can let the artillery fire on the communist army's position continue to cover, until the infantry rushes up. ”
Huang Zhiyu nodded frequently while listening: "It makes sense, I was really too used to these tank soldiers in the past, and I will personally go over to supervise the battle in the next attack, and those who retreat without an order will be shot." ”
On the positions of the PLA Independent Brigade, except for a few observation posts left behind, most of the men and horses went into the anti-artillery holes, which were dug by the people of the Teaching Brigade.
Digging such fortifications is a unique skill of the People's Liberation Army, the artillery fire can't do people's work, and there is no way to confront the enemy if the hole is not dug well, and it can survive under the artillery fire, all relying on these large and small anti-artillery holes.
The fighters who entered the anti-artillery hole were laughing and joking together, and now the two brigades were holding their positions, and the fighters were all mixed together, and some of the soldiers of the teaching brigade asked: "Hey, I said man, isn't the artillery of your separate brigade very good?" The last time we fought the 82nd Division, it was quite powerful, why did you drill anti-artillery holes with us, set up and fight with them, and if you knocked out the Kuomintang artillery, wouldn't there be nothing? ”
The soldiers of the independent brigade replied: "I said comrade, how can I know what our brigade commander thinks, but the Kuomintang artillery is not cotton, I can't be careless, I guess, our brigade commander and political commissar must be thinking about how to clean up the enemy's artillery, don't worry, there is a time when you are optimistic." ”
It really made this soldier guess correctly, and now Li Yong is thinking about how to deal with the Kuomintang artillery more effectively in the joint command formed by the teaching brigade.
With the strong combat effectiveness of the independent brigade, it is not a problem to repel the Kuomintang infantry who are blindly charging, and the greatest threat is still the Kuomintang heavy artillery group, and each brigade of the reorganized 65th Division has its own artillery unit, and the division has a reinforced heavy howitzer regiment, and only by killing the enemy's artillery can we hold the position to the greatest extent, otherwise even if the task assigned by the superior is completed, the casualties will not be small.
Li Yong, who kept pondering back and forth, turned his head and asked Gao Xiang, the commander of the artillery battalion who had been following him all along: "How sure are you that you will defeat the enemy's artillery?" How big can we lose ourselves? ”
Gao Xiang replied: "Brigade commander, artillery confrontation pays attention to the first enemy to discover, the first enemy to fire, as long as we can first discover the enemy's heavy artillery position, we have a way to deal with it, the principle is the same, if the enemy discovers our artillery position first, our losses will not be small." ”
Brigade Commander Chen Haihan on the side asked a little anxiously: "Dayong, have you come up with any solutions?" "It has been almost a day since the confrontation with the Kuomintang attack troops, and the teaching brigade has been ravaged by the enemy's artillery fire, and knowing that the artillery of the independent brigade is very powerful, Brigade Commander Chen Haihan is very eager to see what it is like for the Kuomintang to be bombed.
"Haha, there is no way, but if our fighters want to endure the enemy's artillery fire first, only if the enemy's artillery group exposes all the coordinates of their positions, our artillery can strike after and knock it out by sudden means."
"Dayong, our teaching brigade doesn't have a few guns, there are not many shells, and my artillery is not good, since you are here, I will hand over all the artillery to your command, can you give a little more strength is a little more force."
Li Yong was not polite to Brigade Commander Chen Haihan, anyway, after the battle, he had to return it to others, and now it is a good way to integrate them first, and it can also allow the artillery soldiers of the teaching brigade to learn more.
At the headquarters of the 65th Division of the Kuomintang's reorganization, an officer took the microphone of the telephone and shouted: "The division seat is the phone of the commander of the 160th Brigade Huang." ”
Li Zhen, who took the phone, heard Huang Zhiyu's anxious voice from the microphone: "Division commander, I am Huang Zhiyu, the firepower of the communist army is very strong, my troops have launched several attacks in a row and have been beaten back, I ask the artillery of the division headquarters to give us fire support." ”
Li Zhen, who answered the phone, snorted: "Huang Zhiyu, what happened to the attack just now?" There were a lot of casualties, why didn't they report to the division headquarters? Have you figured out which unit the communist army is on the other side? ”
Huang Zhiyu quietly wiped the sweat beads on his face, don't look at this guy in front of his subordinates, but he is more obedient than a kitten in front of the division commander Li Zhen: "Division, I have investigated clearly, defending the position attacked by our 160th Brigade is the teaching brigade of the sixth column of the communist army, this teaching brigade is the main brigade of the sixth column of the communist army, it is very difficult to deal with, and we suffered a loss last time." ”
"Hmph, they are the main brigade of the communist army?? Your 160th Brigade is also the main brigade of our 65th Division, are you still afraid of these mud legs of the communist army? I'll transfer all the heavy artillery of the division to you, flatten the positions of the communist army, and then your infantry will rush up with the tanks, do you understand? ”
A staff officer of the 65th Division whispered beside the division commander Li Zhen: "Division, is it a little careless to transfer all our heavy artillery to the 160th Brigade, and the artillery of the communist army is not as good as before." ”
"I know what you mean, it's for fear that our artillery will expose the target early, but you're too careful, although the communist army also has some artillery, but their limited firepower is dealing with the 17th and 38th divisions surrounded by them, we can't take care of it here, even if they find our artillery position, what else can they do? Gnaw off our artillery with their bayonets? Rest assured, we are long-range artillery, and the communist army is not yet capable of what to do with them. ”
Huang Zhiyu was reprimanded by the division commander Li Zhen on the phone, but although he was reprimanded, this guy was still happy, why? It seems that the division seat is still facing me Huang Zhiyu and our 160th Brigade, can we transfer all the heavy artillery in the division to us? When this battle is over, Lao Tzu, the division commander, is decided, and their two brigades also want to compete with our 160 brigade? No way.
The attack of the 65th Division of the Kuomintang began again, and the focus of the attack was on the most frontal positions of the teaching brigade, with divisional artillery, brigade artillery, plus regimental artillery, all of which kept greeting the positions held by the PLA.
