Chapter 453 Luo Ju Town

Several tanks were killed all the way in, artillery and machine gun fire, coupled with direct crushing with tracks, it was like entering a no-man's mirror, officers at all levels in the Kuomintang headquarters fled in all directions, Li Yuming did not hesitate, and shouted with a car intercom: "Target, the enemy is violent infantry, grenade bombs." (The fastest update speed is on the Aishang Novel Network biquge.info)" The fighters also replied with shouts: "Grenades are ready." ”

Grenade bomb is a kind of high-explosive bomb that specializes in killing and injuring personnel, and the lethality of personnel is extremely strong, Li Yuming has followed the brigade commander Li Yong for a long time, and he has no good impression of the Kuomintang officers, and he has not done a lot of killing prisoners when he was in the guard company, of course, most of the killings are the Kuomintang diehards and officers, and at this time it is the same, there is no mentality of catching prisoners at all for the officers in these commands, under his orders, the machine guns sweep wildly, and the tank guns keep firing grenades, and under the explosion of the shells, the stumps fly around, The house collapsed, and in the end the tank boomed and a guy rushed into the collapsed and shattered fortifications.

Up to now, the Kuomintang joint command has been completely reimbursed, and the M4 tank platoon led by Li Yuming, the instructor of the tank battalion, who rushed up first, did not capture a single prisoner, in fact, he did not want to capture any prisoners at all, and by the time the brigade commander Li Yong and the brigade arrived, the battle was almost over.

Li Yong ordered the troops to put up a guard and then asked the guard company to look for it to see if there were any living people in this smoky command headquarters that was done by Li Yuming and others, as for why the tank unit didn't even capture a single prisoner, he, who was the brigade commander, didn't even ask, and didn't bother to ask, what is there to say, either killed or buried alive, there is no difference.

Later, he was finally found by the guard company commander Li Jia with the soldiers to find a half-dead, this guy said that he was a staff officer of the division headquarters, and he had been with the division commander all the time, and he was blown up by the PLA shells not long ago.

Brigade Commander Li Yong laughed and said to Jiang Tiexiong and Li Yuming: "The tank battalion has done a good job, and it is your first merit, but you must not be proud, and after the battle, you must sum up the lessons and lessons to ensure that the next battle reduces casualties." ”

Political commissar Wang Chengde didn't say anything, his psychology as a political commissar is the same as that of Spiegel, Li Yuming's style of fighting is the same as that of the brigade commander, and he has no good impression of the Kuomintang officers, so it's strange if he doesn't die to the death. First Text}

On the ruins of this completely destroyed ** joint headquarters, brigade commander Li Yong asked Li Jia to inform the military headquarters of the Second Army: "Our department, the independent brigade has broken through the enemy's defense line, and successfully defeated the joint headquarters of the 24th and 53rd divisions of the Kuomintang, killed the commanders of the enemy's 24th and 53rd divisions, and all kinds of captures and prisoners are being further counted, please instruct our department on the next task." ”

It was already dark, Li Yong and Wang Chengde asked the soldiers to hurry up and have dinner after cleaning the battlefield, although the task assigned by the army was basically completed, but who knows if there is any temporary sudden order, and anything may happen on the battlefield, so it is most reassuring to put the meal in the stomach first.

The logistical support of the independent brigade is no problem, Lao Sun and He Cuihua have done all kinds of work at home, the staple food is porridge and steamed buns, and the dishes are meat and vegetarian combinations, the soldiers eat happily, and they all say that they will eat after winning the battle, and their psychology is very bright, and these boys in the tank battalion feel that they are amazing, and their eyes are going to the sky.

And Li Jiangguo, the commander of the first battalion, Ma Changsheng, the commander of the third battalion, and Wei Gang, the commander of the machine gun battalion, who usually shout everywhere as soon as the battle is over, are all wilting and drooping their heads, no way, no matter how much they brag about it, they can't compare to the tank battalions of others, Li Yuming and Jiang Tiexiong are really good.

Several commanders of the Second Army who received the report of the Independent Brigade were overjoyed, and Commander Guo Peng pointed to the attack line on the map and said: "It was also an assault from the middle, and the other divisions did not make much progress in an afternoon, and the Independent Brigade broke through in two hours, and also killed the enemy's headquarters, what's the matter, could it be that the enemy became a paper lake as soon as he saw the Independent Brigade?" ”

Political Commissar Wang Enmao took it over and said: "It's not that the enemy is too weak, but the independent brigade is too strong, first prepared four times with heavy artillery, it was four times, the shells ploughed the positions of the Kuomintang defenders like a plow, and then used tank armored units to carry out a surprise attack, an attack like a bison, who can stand such a way of fighting?" Awesome. ”

The achievements of the Independent Brigade made Deputy Commander Chen very satisfied: "The two leaders, don't just praise them, they are still asking for instructions on the next task." ”

Commander Guo Peng: "There is no task, tell them, they did a good job, and the military party committee will ask the corps and the field division to give them credit and rest in place." ”

After the Independent Brigade broke through from the middle route, the troops of the Second Army pinned down on both flanks also took the opportunity to launch a powerful offensive operation, and succeeded in breaking through in one fell swoop after the enemy's confidence was lost.

Driven by the success of the breakthrough of the Second Army, the remaining two armies of the First Corps (He Bingyan of the First Army and Peng Shaohui of the Seventh Army) also successfully broke through the defense system of the Kuomintang defenders in the area they were responsible for, and were developing in depth.

More than two days after the start of the Fumei Campaign, the First Field Army gradually gained a dominant position on the battlefield, and all the units in the area to be attacked were concentrating the majority of their forces in every battle in accordance with the requirements of General Peng Lao and the party committee of the field army, accumulating tactical victories into campaign victories, and exchanging parts for overall victories, while the Kuomintang side was in chaos, the command system was in disarray, and the morale of officers and men was low.

Hu Zongnan, who had no choice, saw that it was really impossible to save the situation, and after thinking about it, he finally issued an order to break through and no longer resist the PLA.

In fact, Hu Zongnan has another way, that is, to ask for help from the Second Horse Coalition Army that is still in the Guanzhong area, the total strength of the Second Horse Coalition Army is about 200,000, and the Yang Dezhi Department of the 19th Corps of the First Field that is responsible for containing them is 100,000 people.

But if it's just if, Hu Zongnan's Central Army and the Local Army of Erma have long been in harmony, counting on them to rescue Hu Zongnan?? That's not even thinking about it, and you can't count on it at all.

It stands to reason that as high-ranking generals in the Kuomintang army, Hu Zongnan, Ma Bufang, and Ma Hongkui are all smart people, and they should also be able to think that if the PLA concentrates all its efforts on cleaning up Hu Zongnan's Central Army, it is a very simple reason who will be attacked next, but in fact, the 200,000 or so Second Horse Coalition Army just didn't move, seeing that the PLA surrounded Hu Zongnan's three armies, and then ate it in one bite but didn't move.

Hu Zongnan's troops want to break through, how to break through? Hu Zongnan ordered the three armies surrounded by the PLA to go all out to break through the encirclement, and the two armies outside the encirclement concentrated their forces to return to reinforcements, and used the method of flanking the front and rear to break the encirclement tactics of the Northwest Field Army.

When the battle reached this point, a key node was produced, which was the position held by the 10th Division of the Fourth Army of the Second Corps of the People's Liberation Army.

The position held by the 10th Division was called Luoju Town, but this small place became the focus of contention between the enemy and our armies in July of '49, and the three encircled Kuomintang armies had to pass through here if they wanted to stand out, and vice versa, and the PLA had to defend this place if they wanted to completely annihilate the three encircled Kuomintang armies.

Hu Zongnan's order to the three armies was that breaking out of Luoju Town would be victory, while Xu Guangda, commander of the Second Corps of the People's Liberation Army, gave an order to the 10th Division of the Fourth Army to defend Luoju Town and not retreat a single step without an order.

At dawn on the 12th, a battle between the enemy and us for the town of Luoju suddenly began, and several armies in the south of the Kuomintang Hu Zong had been completely cornered, and they rushed outward like their lives, and the whole division and the whole regiment launched a large-scale group charge, regardless of casualties, regardless of life or death, surging upwards like the sea, thousands of troops and horses, and crowds.

Hu Zongnan also took out the last capital and ordered the air force he still had in his hands to go out and bomb the PLA positions defending Luoju Town.

For a time, the sound of swords, guns, shouts, and the roar of planes rang out, and in the face of the enemy's frantic attack, the 10th Division of the People's Liberation Army guarding Luoju Town held on and did not retreat.

The 10th Division is a heroic unit, and this unit, like other old units of the PLA, has fought countless tough battles and vicious battles since it became an army, and has made many achievements, and now it is time to test their bones again.

Under Hu Zongnan's strict order, the buzzing P51 Mustang fighter planes carried out a dive attack on the ground, and the large-caliber machine guns on the planes first strafed and then dropped bombs, and the heavy aerial bombs blew up deep craters one after another on the positions of the People's Liberation Army, and the air set off by the plane's low-altitude flight was about to scrape off the soldiers' hats, and the PLA troops without air defense had no choice but to fight a bloody battle with the enemy in the face of the bombing of the planes.

Infantry, tanks, artillery, and airplanes, the Kuomintang Hu Zongnan used all the weapons that could be used, and steel and flames poured down on the positions of the 10th Division.

Under the leadership of division commander Gao Jinchun, the 10th Division fought for itself, and the squad fought for itself, using the weapons in their hands to launch counterattacks against the enemy who was several times their size, machine guns, rifles, submachine guns, bayonets, and grenades, and knocked the enemy down again and again, and the corpses of the soldiers of the Kuomintang assault troops spread layer after layer in front of the positions of the 10th Division.
