The Kuomintang officers, including brigade commander Huang Zhiyu, were not fools, and although they said that they wanted to be officials and make a fortune were a little more utilitarian, they still had basic military knowledge.
If the PLA's position cannot be broken through before dark, it will be a big trouble, and the 17th and 38th Divisions that were besieged first may be wiped out, and it will be difficult for the attacking troops to make great progress.
Once the 17th and 38th Kuomintang integrated divisions were wiped out again, not to mention the chairman of the committee in Nanjing, even Commander Hu Zongnan in Xi'an could not pass the hurdle, and the front-line officers, let alone being promoted and making a fortune, it would be good to be able to keep their heads, so the main attacking troops of the Kuomintang wanted to take advantage of this last period of time before dark to summon up the courage to rush forward.
Under the incessant firing of artillery, the tanks rushed forward with the infantry, and on the positions of the PLA, the fighters were not intimidated by the frantic attack of the Kuomintang troops, and when the tanks entered the effective range, under the command of the old shooters, the fighters of the teaching brigade pulled the trigger, and the anti-tank rockets flew out in an instant.
This time you can see the difference between the old shooter and the new shooter, the baby-like rockets are a lot of shots, but the ones that hit the target are nothing, according to the results of the visual inspection, it seems that there are two rockets that hit the target, and the rest are all flying with the tank.
The first time I fired with a bazooka, although I was very excited, the result was frustrating, and the soldiers of the teaching brigade shouted anxiously: "What's the matter, why can't I hit the right one?" Damn, I'm in a hurry to die. ”
The veteran shooters were guiding on the side: "What's the panic, don't you see the wind, aim the bazooka downwind, understand?" Look a little downwind. ”
The difference between the rocket launcher and the firearm used by the infantry is that there is a trick to using it, and it can be aimed and shot directly when there is no wind, but it is different when there is wind, because the flight speed of the rocket is much slower than that of the bullet, so it is necessary to prepare the amount in advance.
The people sent by the teaching brigade to learn are also veterans, such precious weapons must of course be mastered by veterans first, these people's marksmanship is no problem, and it is not difficult to find the amount in advance when it is windy, but the problem is here.
When shooting with firearms, the amount of advance should be biased upwind, but the bazooka is the opposite, when there is wind, it must be biased downwind, this reason is very difficult to understand, why the more windy it is, the more downwind it is, isn't that more crooked?
Although it is not easy to understand, the truth is here, the anti-tank rocket is not a high-velocity small projectile like a rifle bullet, but a slow-speed long rod-shaped warhead, and there is a small impeller at the rear of the warhead that maintains a stable dìng, and this small impeller that constantly rotates when flying to maintain the flight trajectory of the warhead, a bit like the so-called tail stable dìng shell-piercing projectile.
The slow-flying long rod-shaped warhead is greatly affected by the wind, the mass of the warhead is heavy in the front and light in the rear, and there is a small rotating wind wheel in the rear, so the tail is most affected by the wind in the flight, which causes the rocket in flight to fly crookedly when there is wind, and it is an arc flight trajectory, if the wind blows from the left, the warhead is an inner arc ballistic, so when aiming, it is necessary to deviate from the downwind direction.
However, when ordinary firearms and other weapons are shooting, the reason is just the opposite, which makes these veterans of the teaching brigade who come to study very uncomfortable, and they will not be able to twist this bend for a while.
Fortunately, these people are very disciplined soldiers, and it is easy to do it if they are soldiers, whether they can understand it or not, they will do it first, and the reason will be explained later.
The old shooters shouted: "Listen, I don't have time to reason with you, let you aim downwind, miss half of the tank's position, aim and fire, fast-point." ”
As he spoke, the tank had reached less than 100 meters, and not only the tank guns, but also the machine guns on the car rang out, and a dense rain of bullets came over, and there were casualties on the position, especially the anti-tank group at the front, which was knocked out several times in a row.
This is the consequence of the operation error, the battlefield is not a drill, a negligence has to be made up for with life, but at this time you can see the difference between the old soldier and the new soldier, the sacrificed and wounded comrades are lying next to themselves, the blood on their bodies is still flowing, but no one looks at this, and there is no time to care about these comrades, the second reload, steady, aim - good, fire.
Bang, bang, bang, continuous explosions sounded on the position one after another, and the soldiers of the teaching brigade found their feelings this time, basically every rocket hit the tank, not to say how powerful these fighters were, and they mastered the essentials with one or two shots, but they were too close, and some tanks were already only fifty or sixty meters away from the anti-tank group, and it was not easy to fight at such a close distance against the huge body of the tank.
Thick smoke, fire, and debris from explosions filled the entire forward position, and the first time the tank was killed with a bazooka, these soldiers were so happy that they almost jumped up from the ground, cool, it was cool, if there were already these guys, how many fewer people would have died.
These fighters also wondered why they should aim as if they were off-wind, and the old soldiers shouted: "I don't have time to explain to you, let's talk about it after the battle, reload, aim, shoot." ”
Spinning rockets flew everywhere in front of the position, more than 20 tanks, more than 20 tanks, all the belongings of a tank battalion of the 160 Brigade, all of which were killed by the soldiers at the front of the position.
The smashed tanks were paralyzed there in a pile of east and west, and the guy who was still majestic just now turned into a pile of scrap iron, and the brigade commander Huang Zhiyu, who was supervising the battle in the back, felt a chill in his heart, in order to equip his 160 brigade with such a tank battalion, he didn't know how much effort it took at the beginning, and it also made the eyes of other brigades red for a long time, counting on them to help at a critical time, but he didn't expect all of them to be explained here.
However, the battle has already reached this point, and it is useless to feel distressed, only to hold on, the infantry group, which has lost the cover of tanks, is directly exposed to the guns of the PLA, and under the strong fire of the independent brigade, the soldiers fall down in rows and rows.
Unlike the last time, these soldiers with heavy casualties did not run back in one go, but lay down on the spot and did not move, lying on the ground and stiffening, and several attacks made the whole position full of corpses of Kuomintang soldiers, and these corpses that had not had time to be cleaned up were now the bunkers of soldiers lying on the ground.
It's not that I don't want to run, but I really don't dare to run, several regiments of the 160 Brigade have formed an echelon-like attack mode, and those in the back have the right to shoot the ones in front, so no one dares to run, and they will die if they go back, so it's better to hold up for a while and see the situation.
The sky has not yet finished dark, but the vision is already a little blurred, and the whole battlefield can't see who is dead and who is alive, artillery battalion commander Gao Xiang said to Li Yongjian: "Brigade commander, these grandsons are lying on the ground and don't move, are they using our artillery to bombard, fake dead people also make him a real dead man." ”
Li Yong ignored Gao Xiang's construction, but turned around and asked, "Have you found the heavy artillery units of the 65th Division and the 160th Brigade?" Was the position shifted? ”
Gao Xiang smiled: "Brigade commander, I have already figured it out, on a hillside six or seven kilometers away from us, our battalion sent out more than a dozen reconnaissance groups, and they are still guarding there, the masters of the Kuomintang don't know that we have artillery on the eighth road, let alone transfer positions, and we haven't even done the concealment of artillery positions, as long as you give an order, I promise to paralyze the enemy's artillery positions within ten minutes." ”
In fact, the Kuomintang artillery did not take the artillery of the Eighth Route seriously and also had his own reasons, thanks to the illusion created by the teaching brigade of the Sixth Column, the teaching brigade and the attacking Kuomintang army fought for a day, and the only few large-caliber artillery pieces were not people's opponents at all, not only did they not play a role, but their losses were not small, so Brigade Commander Chen Haihan hid these treasures and did not dare to use them, and it is estimated that they will be completely finished if they are exposed again. This led the Kuomintang command apparatus to mistakenly believe that the PLA's defensive units did not have artillery, or that there were very few of them, and that they could not pose a threat.
Li Yong, who glanced at his watch, asked Gao Xiang: "How long has the enemy's artillery fire been extending backwards?" Gao Xiang: "Ten minutes." ”
Li Yong: "Give you another five minutes to withdraw all your reconnaissance groups, and after five minutes, open fire and knock out the enemy's heavy artillery positions, are you sure?" ”
"After five minutes, open fire, knock out the enemy's heavy artillery position, please rest assured, resolutely complete the task." Gao Xiang repeated the order and turned around and ran out.
Don't look at Gao Xiang, this kid is a joke, and he doesn't matter what size he is with Li Yong and Wang Chengde, but it depends on what the occasion is, Gao Xiang on the battlefield has no muddy and muddy elements in executing orders, this is what an excellent commander should do.
Li Yong took this into account when the column and Yeji gave the reinforcement order to the independent brigade, and the biggest difficulty in cooperating with the teaching brigade to hold the position was not the enemy's infantry, but the enemy's artillery, the blocking war was different from the guerrilla warfare, the guerrilla warfare could be fought and run, the Kuomintang artillery was powerful and the threat to the troops was not great, but the blocking war was not good, the blocking war had to be placed there and the people were hard to do, at this time the artillery was not an opponent and it would be too much of a loss, so Li Yong had been thinking about what way to get rid of the enemy's artillery units, You can't let yourself lose too much yet.
