The soldiers who had knocked out the 160th Brigade with a sudden counterattack quickly maneuvered forward under the command of the brigade commander Li Yong, hoping to blitz the headquarters of the 65th Division of the Kuomintang with their own speed advantage and buy more time for the main force in the fierce battle with the enemy.

The headquarters of the 65th Division was about five kilometers away from the attack position of the 160 Brigade, and if the Independent Brigade wanted to kill the headquarters of this reorganized division, it had to rush through the five kilometers in the shortest possible time, quickly engage the enemy, and then surround it and destroy it.

Along the way, the fast-running troops encountered more than a dozen cases of resistance and harassment at the company and platoon levels, and from time to time a running soldier was hit by cold shots and fell.

In order to achieve the maximum tactical effect, Li Yong used all the manpower he could use, and the baggage battalion was also a combat unit, and the commander who led the team was, of course, their deputy battalion commander He Cuihua, this girl was responsible for the combat mission at the same time, but also responsible for the reception of the wounded soldiers, and the burden was not light.

Li Yong commanded the troops not to fall in love with the battle, not to care about the enemy's cold guns, and not to care if there were casualties, to rush forward and engage in close combat with the enemy, give full play to the power of the weapons in their hands, and quickly pass the guò.

In close combat in the dark night, submachine guns are the best weapons, there are thousands of submachine guns in the independent brigade, and the resistance at the company and platoon level of the 65th Division of the Kuomintang has no effect at all, the soldiers did not even stop their footsteps, they rushed directly with bullets, and killed all the small units of resistance with submachine guns, of course, the soldiers who charged also paid the price, but compared with the division headquarters of the 65th Division of the Kuomintang, which was not too far away, the price was still worth it.

The 160th Brigade of the 65th Division in the center was wiped out, the troops on both sides could not shrink back in a short time, and the resistance of the small group could not work, which was equivalent to a person opening his arms and giving up his chest to the attacking opponent.

Run, run desperately, to kill the headquarters of the 65th Division in the shortest possible time, as the brigade commander said, the enemy is like a snake, all we have to do is to pull off the head of this poisonous snake.

At this time, it was clear that the importance of peacetime training came, the distance of several kilometers was completely within the tolerance range of the soldiers, and even the female soldiers of the medical team did not follow the troops one step at a time, and it took only half an hour for more than 9,000 people of the fully armed independent brigade to surround the division headquarters of the 65th Division.

Li Yuming and Wei Gang, who were at the front, did not rashly attack, but directed the tank and machine gun battalions to spread out on both sides and surround this command headquarters.

Brigade Commander Li Yong's walkie-talkie sounded Wei Gang's laughter: "Brigade commander, Li Yuming and I have arrived, we have captured more than a dozen prisoners, let these gray grandsons lead the way, and surrounded the headquarters of the 65th Division, brigade commander, it is really surrounded, there must be a big head inside, we ask for an attack." ”

When the headquarters of the 65th Division was reorganized, a guard ran in, his voice changed, and he shouted in a stumbling tone: "Division-division, communist army, communist army has surrounded us, and there are communist troops outside. ”

It was only at this time that division commander Li Zhen realized that he had encountered a very terrible opponent, this opponent not only ate the 160th Brigade but also looked at the headquarters of his own integrated division. Does the communist army have such strength and speed?

"Order the guard battalion, be on guard, and inform the surrounding troops to hurry up and move closer to us, saying that a small group of communist troops has been found near the division headquarters and asking them to quickly reinforce us."

The main guard force of the division headquarters of the 65th Division is a full guard battalion, plus some miscellaneous troops, the total strength exceeds the 1,000-man mark, and the fortifications are complete, well-equipped, and the ammunition is sufficient.

Therefore, although he knew that there were PLA troops nearby, Li Zhen was not too worried, the communist army just wanted to use such actions to delay our attack time, so as to create conditions for their main force to eat the 17th and 38th divisions, as long as they could hold out at the division headquarters for a while, they could completely annihilate this small group of communist troops after the arrival of reinforcements.

But what is interspersed is not a small unit, it is a whole brigade, it is the most combat-effective combat unit in the Northwest Field Army, it is the trump card under Commander Wang Zhen, it is Li Zhen who thinks wrong, this ** lieutenant general and division commander has not yet realized that his troops have reached the most critical juncture, and he still fantasizes about how to break through the PLA position on the opposite side, so as to be the deputy commander of his corps.

Following behind the cars of the tank and machine gun battalions, the brigade of the Independent Brigade surrounded the division headquarters of the 65th Division from several sides, which was already beyond the range of the Gao Xiang Artillery Battalion, otherwise according to Li Yong's plan, it would have been bombarded with artillery fire first, and then the soldiers would rush up to capture the prisoners, but now it is obviously impossible.

Political Commissar Wang Chengde said to Li Yong while wiping his sweat: "Dayong, order the troops to shout first, let the enemy surrender, and our People's Liberation Army will give preferential treatment to prisoners." ”

Li Yong knew that this was the usual practice of the old Eighth Road to fight, salute first and then soldiers, and then do it if persuasion failed, but now it seems too stubborn to use this set of methods.

First of all, you have to see who the target is, this set of methods may be effective for the ordinary soldiers of the Kuomintang, but it may not be easy to persuade the Kuomintang to surrender to the headquarters led by the lieutenant general and division commander, and it will delay time, you must know that the Kuomintang corps is not too far behind this 65th Division to stand by, the distance of more than ten kilometers is to be reached, the independent brigade is fighting with a time difference, to put it bluntly, it is to take advantage of the enemy's slow reaction, what is the most precious at this time? Time is of the essence, and the independent brigade must not only fight quickly, but also withdraw quickly.

"Lao Wang, we don't have that time, order the troops to prepare for battle, and all battalions and companies will put out all your mortars and carry out indiscriminate attacks on the enemy, and begin." Li Yong's last words were addressed to the brigade correspondent.

Each of the five infantry battalions has a mortar platoon, and the platoon of the independent brigade is different from other units, and the platoon has more than 80 personnel, nominally called a platoon, but in fact the number of a company is not too much different from that of other troops, which is equivalent to five mortar companies attacking at the same time.

Sixty or seventy small mortars play a very big role in close combat, because of ballistics, this weapon has no dead angle for attack, so the artillery platoon commanders in each battalion are full of confidence to reassure their superiors, please rest assured that even if the head of the Kuomintang division is hidden in a rat hole, he will be blown out.

The sky was full of shells, the sky was full of fireworks, and the dense number of small shells smashed into the defensive circle of the headquarters of the 65th Division like heavy rain.

The rate of fire of the mortar is very fast, unlike the heavy artillery, which requires all kinds of preparations, and the old gunner does not even use the gun tray and gun carriage, but only puts a rubber shoe under the barrel to fire, of course, this is the work that some old gunners can do.

It only took two or three minutes for each small cannon to shoot more than 20 rounds of shells, and together there were 1,000 or more shells out, and the flames and explosions enveloped the entire headquarters of the 65th Division, and the soldiers were blown up one by one by the shells that fell vertically from the sky from the fortifications where they were located, and of course, when they fell from the air to the ground again, they were already a corpse.

This once again proves the pressure of modern warfare on logistics, 1,000 or hundreds of shells, a few minutes of work to shoot out, the enjoyment is very enjoyable, the effect is also good, but the consumption is really too great, put aside the old Eighth Road, so do not even dare to think, from the perspective of the old Eighth Road, such a war is no different from the loser, but the advantage is that the casualty rate of the attacking soldiers is greatly reduced.

Li Yong's idea is different from the old Eighth Road, in the eyes of Brigadier Li, his soldiers are all treasures, no one can touch one, and if one is injured, he will have to kill ten opponents, what is ammunition, as long as he wins the battle, he will have everything.

The Kuomintang soldiers who were not killed were so frightened that they stuck their heads in what they thought were safer and did not move, and Li Zhen's division headquarters also received several shells, and one of them directly hit a hidden department only a dozen meters away from him, and it was knocked down from the top cover, killing several staff officers inside.

Li Zhen finally understood at this time, the People's Liberation Army is not a small unit, a small unit cannot have such strong firepower, so many mortars show that this is an elite combat force in the communist army, it seems that the communist army is not here to harass, this is determined to gnaw away his command headquarters.

Thinking of this, Li Zhen was really scared, this communist army was completely different from what he had been exposed to in the past, other communist troops all wanted the opponent to surrender first, and first exerted the so-called political offensive of the communist army, but this group of communist troops did not shout anything at all, as if they were not interested in shouting, and it was an indiscriminate artillery fire, and the shells were no match for what division commander and soldier, and who met and who died.

Li Zhen, who got up from the ground, shouted hoarsely, "Do you understand?" What kind of unit of the communist army is this, and why is it maneuvering so fast? ”

An officer replied: "Report to the division, I have investigated a large number of soldiers who have been defeated from the front line, according to our intelligence, this unit does not belong to the Sixth Column of the Communist Army, but has been newly reinforced, and it is a brigade of the Second Column of the Communist Army, and its number is the Independent Brigade of the Second Column of the Northwest Field Army." ”~~~~！ ~！
