Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
The cold wind from the northwest plateau blew away the dark clouds in the sky, the clean night sky was full of stars, and the transparent moon was like a big disk, illuminating the earth under his feet.
Although it was night, the visibility was not bad, and hundreds of thousands of bandits, under the leadership of the bandit leader Usman, poured out of the sand dunes around the Eight Great Stones where they had gathered, yes, just like a stream of dirty black water that suddenly emerged from the ground.
There is no end, and in the moonlit night, it is impossible to see how many bandits can come out, and this sparsely populated sand dune has become a hell infested with ghosts and monsters in a blink of an eye.
The bandit leaders Usman, Yao Lebosi and others made a very shrewd plan, ate in advance, set off in the middle of the night, and arrived at Yiwu County before dawn, so as to catch the PLA by surprise.
At three or four o'clock in the morning, it is the time when people are most sleepy, and it is also the time when sleep is sweet, according to physiology, it is called deep sleep, if a qiē shun lì, a distance of dozens of kilometers, it does not take long for the war horse to run in small steps, and the early morning is the best time to attack.
The plan seems to be very good, and there is a great possibility of success, but the battlefield is not a game field, and there is still a gap between the plan and reality.
In addition to strengthening the defense of the main position, brigade commander Li Yong also released two reconnaissance and cavalry battalions, all of which were light infantry, and let them patrol the surroundings 24 hours a day.
In order to provide first-hand information to the main force of the brigade, the fighters of the two battalions used their mobility to expand the search area several dozen kilometers away.
The empty desert Gobi, the messy camel grass, the cold moonlight, the starry sky, the unpolluted air, and people's eyesight can see far away at night.
Zhang Jinsong, the battalion commander with extremely experienced battlefield experience, immediately judged the situation, and he shouted loudly with a walkie-talkie: "Attention of the whole battalion, combat preparations." ”
A car rushed out quickly, the powerful motor roared happily, and the small jeep four-wheel drive, nicknamed the battlefield taxi, increased its speed to dozens of kilometers in a few seconds, and in the dust raised by the wheels, the car was like a little mouse in the desert, and the swishing guy disappeared.
There was no long-distance communication tool, and the power of the walkie-talkies generally equipped could not reach the range of direct communication with the brigade headquarters, so the battalion commander Zhang Jinsong had no choice but to use this most stupid method.
After steasing his mind, Zhang Jinsong calmly ordered: "Notify the cavalry battalion and let them withdraw immediately, and we will break the rear." ”
The bandits' eyes are not blind, when the reconnaissance troops of the People's Liberation Army saw them, they saw Zhang Jinsong and them, in the battlefield at that time, there was no postmodern so-called night vision equipment, so, for both sides, the battlefield is two-way transparent, and everyone's conditions are the same.
At this time, it is very dangerous, everyone knows that this is the reconnaissance unit of the People's Liberation Army, the bandits are not fools, in order to block the news, the best way is to eliminate all the small number of reconnaissance troops.
The biggest difficulty in dealing with the xinjiāng bandits is that they are very fast, for example, in this case, if you don't pay attention, it is easy to be entangled by the bandit brigade, let alone go back to report to the main force, and even you may not be able to protect yourself.
There were more than 1,500 people in the two battalions sent out by the brigade and more than 500 people in the cavalry battalion, all of whom were soldiers of the Xinjiāng ethnic minority, all of whom had been rolling on the battlefield, and they all understood the severity of the situation.
Who will break the queen? Zhang Jinsong naturally thought that his own reconnaissance unit should provide cover for the cavalry battalion, because the cavalry battalion was a friendly force sent by the Fifth Army and a temporarily reinforced unit, and when there was danger, of course, the brigade's own troops should be the mainstay, and this is also what a PLA unit should do.
The cavalry battalion of the Fifth Army is also a heroic unit, the will to fight is as tenacious, they also have to defend the honor of their troops, of course, they don't want to withdraw without firing a shot, in the face of the questioning voice from the walkie-talkie, Zhang Jinsong answered the comrades-in-arms of the brother unit with certainty:
"We have more personnel than you, our weapons and equipment are better than yours, and the brigade commander designated me as the head of the search force when we set off, so I order you to retreat immediately, there is no reason to talk about it, withdraw quickly."
The cavalry battalion withdrew, and Zhang Jinsong let go of a concern in his heart, a battalion reinforced by the Fifth Army had better weapons and equipment than the bandits, but the good ones were limited, as long as they exchanged fire with the bandits, casualties were inevitable.
It is unreasonable to let a brother unit that came over temporarily suffer heavy casualties, because this is not the fighting style of our brigade.
This is not the case with the reconnaissance battalion, although the reconnaissance battalion is not equipped with heavy machine guns and mortars like the infantry battalion, but they have a large number of Czech and Tom types, and the continuity of firepower is very good.
Several of the bandits' vanguard sentinels ran back, and the riders ran all the way to the head of the bandit leader Usman, who was surrounded by the crowd, and then turned over and dismounted.
"Report - report to the commander, we saw the People's Liberation Army, all of them, at least seven or eight hundred people, not too far in front of us, what should we do?"
Kindness? Damn, is the communist army very alert, and there are still troops wandering outside in the middle of the night, do you notice something, Usman frowned, what should I do? Or did you launch the attack as originally planned?
A bandit officer said: "Commander, it must be the reconnaissance unit of the communist army, it is best to eliminate them all." ”
Judging from all indications, even if the communist army is suspicious of us, they have not found our real hiding place, as long as these hundreds of communist scouts are eliminated, at least they can be blocked for a few more hours, and the effect of a few hours on the battlefield is immeasurable.
Usman still has some confidence in his own inference, and Usman knows that as long as the hiding place is discovered by the PLA, the encirclement and suppression troops will already chase after them, and it is impossible to give them time to deploy calmly.
After thinking for a while, Usman nodded: "Send two brigades to surround from the two flanks of the communist army, and not allow one of the scouts of the communist army to run away." ”
For the sake of unity and convenience in command, Usman organized all the bandits into several brigades in a few days, with each cavalry brigade consisting of 2,000 men, and two brigades numbering more than 4,000 people.
More than 4,000 bandit cavalry rushed out from the bandit army, spread out from both wings, and surrounded Zhang Jinsong's reconnaissance camp.
This is a very typical cavalry tactics, with a strong main force to press up, with the rangers on both sides of the roundabout, the nomadic Usman and his subordinates are very familiar with this style of play, and they are also very skilled in using it, once they move to the back of the butt of the PLA reconnaissance unit, even if the battle is over, the communist army is very capable of fighting. Covered in iron, he can also grind a few nails.
With strong strength and oppressive attacks, the bandit rangers waded up in the yellow sand like two evil dragons, interspersed with extremely fast movements behind the reconnaissance battalion.
It can be said that since the gathering of the Usman bandits, the command of the first round of contact with the PLA is still decent, the method is correct, the command is appropriate, and it has caused great pressure on the opponent, Usman is indeed not simple, don't look at the school, and I don't know a few words, but the means are not bad at all, this is an extremely experienced bandit leader, much stronger than the people Ai Baigura and others that the brigade met before.
Usman is a character, the grassroots commander of the People's Liberation Army Zhang Jinsong is also not simple, Zhang Jinsong, who has rolled out of the sea of corpses countless times, did not think that his more than 1,000 people could compete head-on with hundreds of thousands of bandits, and the two ranger brigades in Usman dispatched a decisive order to retreat, however, it was not a swarm of random retreat, but to retreat at the same time to form a certain amount of trouble for the bandits, in the middle of the retreat, he wanted to leave a little more reaction time for Yiwu's brigade, and let his brigade commander Li Yong be a little more prepared.
"The first and second rows are to the left, the third and fourth rows are to the right, and the rest follow me."
After the brief order was given, countless small jeeps withdrew according to the pre-trained combat team, and against the cavalry of the bandits, four platoons of soldiers on either flank of the reconnaissance battalion were responsible for covering, with more than 200 men on each flank.
There were more than 200 fighters on each flank, and they had to deal with more than 2,000 bandit cavalry, but the warriors were not nervous or afraid, and there were five or six fighters on one jeep, and they were also armed with a Czech light machine gun.
It was very difficult to aim on a bumpy jeep, and in fact, there was no need to aim, and a soldier was lying behind a light machine gun in the back seat, with his finger on the trigger, and he was ready to fire.
Having entered an effective firing range of 300 meters, the commander of the left flank of the reconnaissance battalion, a platoon of Changning Erzi, ordered the troops to open fire.
The jeep galloped forward quickly, followed by the cavalry of the bandit brigade that caught up, and it was not clear to see the situation of the other party in the dark, Ning Erzi only felt that the shadows were the shadows of the cavalry.
Two platoons of soldiers, more than 40 jeeps, each car has a Czech-style, this is the brigade for the reconnaissance battalion specially built standard equipment, for these equipment the whole brigade spent the boss's painstaking efforts, every major battle, the captured jeeps are at their disposal, this has created a reconnaissance battalion with extremely strong mobility ability.
