Chapter 28o The Second Column of the Battle of Xifu

The Second Column of the Northwest Field Army was guarding the position in the Majiashan area outside Baoji City, and several brigades of the whole column carried out echelon defense at a certain level, and leaning on the front of the position was a mountain bag more than 200 meters high.

The position of this mountain bag is very prominent, like a tiger's mouth, just stuck at the intersection of several roads leading to Baoji, and it is the old 2nd Regiment of the Fourth Brigade that was ordered to defend this mountain bag position, and it is also one of the several main regiments of the whole column that can fight the most battles.

The cadres and soldiers of the 2nd Regiment were well aware of the cruelty of the upcoming battle and the importance of their defensive positions, so they carried out a large-scale excavation of fortifications under the leadership of Regiment Commander Zhao.

Commanders at all levels told the soldiers that sweating more before the war and shedding less blood during the war, and that ten more drops of sweat can shed one less drop of blood. This is a very simple truth, and there is no need to explain more, everyone works very hard.

Through the hard work of the past few days and nights, under the desperate excavation of more than 2,000 people in the whole regiment night and day, almost the entire mountain bag was emptied, and finally when the fourth column was withdrawn, the fortifications were almost dug up, and Regiment Commander Zhao and the commanders of several regiments were also relieved.

From this point on, the soldiers of the 2nd Regiment were very grateful to the 4th Column, if it were not for the 4th Column risking their lives to harden the top near Qishan for three days and three nights, their 2nd Column would not have had such sufficient time to organize defense.

On this morning, the soldiers were just having breakfast, the meal was very rich, not like in the past, when they had to estimate and leave a little for the next meal, now they are not only enough but also full, some soldiers also opened the canned beef that their superiors had just brought over to eat, just when the soldiers were happy to eat, a piercing scream came from the distant horizon.

Fighters who have had combat experience knew what was going on as soon as they heard this voice, and the Kuomintang did not even make people eat well, so they prepared for artillery fire so early.

But if he blew up his, we still eat ours, how can people fight without eating? It's just that you have to use the collar of your clothes and a hat to block the bowl in your hand, otherwise you won't eat but will be dirty.

In the blink of an eye, the shells that streaked through the air exploded on the position, and the explosion points of various large-caliber shells were so connected that it was impossible to distinguish the intensity of the artillery fire.

The recruits crouching in the fortifications looked with horror at the old soldiers who were hiding in the anti-artillery holes like them, and the latter were like no such thing, eating when they should eat, smoking when they should be smoking.

The appearance of the old soldiers made the recruits gradually stabilize themselves, and they also learned from the old soldiers, doing whatever they had to do, as if the fierce artillery fire outside did not exist.

At this time, the value of the veteran soldier is once again reflected, sometimes a word of the veteran soldier can make a squad of fighters survive, in the words of the veterans, what is an old soldier? Those who have experienced a hundred battles and have not died are old soldiers, and those who have died are called martyrs.

In fact, this is combat experience, and combat experience is exchanged for blood and life, there is an old saying that "recruits are afraid of artillery, veterans are afraid of numbers" is like this.

Pei Changhui's corps concentrated the divisional artillery of all six divisions and bombarded the positions of the second column with heavy artillery fire.

Pei Chang, who was standing in the command headquarters, would murmur to himself: "Nearly two hundred artillery pieces, is there anything else that can compete with such a powerful force?" The communist army is also a human being, and if it is a human being, it will have weaknesses, and artillery is the weakness of the communist army, and I just want to use artillery to bombard the communist army's position. ”

The position of the Second Regiment, like other brother units, was also subjected to heavy artillery bombardment, the difference was that there were more shells bombarding their positions than elsewhere, and whoever called their positions more prominent than others, the Kuomintang troops also saw this point, and used artillery fire to take care of the positions of the Second Regiment.

The soldiers covered their heads with their clothes in the anti-artillery holes, and bandaged the weapons in their hands with cloth to prevent the muzzles of their guns from entering the soil.

The continuous bombardment continued one after another, but fortunately, the fortifications of the 2nd Regiment were very strong, and the shelling of the 5th Corps of the Kuomintang lasted for more than 20 minutes, and basically did not bring any losses to the old 2nd Regiment.

Just when the soldiers were secretly glad that the fortifications were well done, they heard a buzzing sound from the sky, and the observation post that remained outside shouted with walkie-talkies: "The Kuomintang planes are coming, they are all red-headed planes, oops, the planes are going to lay eggs." ”

The shouts of the people outside made some of the brave soldiers unable to stay any longer, and sneaked out of the trenches to see how the plane laid eggs.

The soldiers were all about twenty years old, and it was when their curiosity was strong, they saw the planes in the sky hovering over the position in groups, gradually flying lower and lower, and then the people on the plane seemed to realize that there was nothing on the position that could deal with it, and lowered their heads, pushed the steering stick violently, and plunged down with great courage.

The power and weight of aviation ** are much more powerful than artillery shells, but dozens of sorties can blow up the holes of some anti-artillery holes.

Although the anti-artillery hole was dug very deep, the hole collapsed for a period of time, and the air in the cave was consumed, and the people in the cave still had to be finished, and if they couldn't be blown up, they had to suffocate to death.

The small number of fighters who remained outside were also angry with the rampant strength of the planes, and the low-altitude bombing planes were getting lower and lower, so low that the air waves brought up by the planes were about to scrape their hats away.

Some soldiers are so angry that they use their rifles to shoot at planes in the sky, but what good can this be? It's a joke if you can shoot down a plane with a rifle.

(It seems that there are some works that have introduced the use of rifles, in fact, this is a bit of nonsense, the key point on the plane is the pilot, the fuel tank and the motive, there are reinforced armor protection in these parts, it is not possible to knock down the plane by the rifle base, and it is very likely that the mechanical accident of the plane makes people on the ground think that it was shot down by the rifle, except for concentrated fire)

Before the first round of bombardment by the planes was over, the power of the aviation ** was immediately apparent, and the casualties on the various positions of the second column began to rise significantly.

Commander Wang, who was observing from the rear position, gritted his teeth tightly as he looked at the smoke rising from the position, and it seemed that Hu Zongnan's rice bucket had also made a lot of money, and judging from the scale of the bombing, almost all the planes in Xi'an had been dispatched.

Since the day the Red Army became a Red Army, it has suffered losses from Kuomintang planes, fought wars for more than 20 years, and still watches the enemy's planes run rampant above their heads, like on their necks.

Commander Wang, who was constantly pondering, suddenly remembered the independent regiment again, I heard that the guys in the independent regiment were rich, and recently got a batch of special anti-aircraft machine guns from the warehouse in Baoji, and I don't know how these guys are training, if there is an independent regiment, I don't know if things can get better, no, you can't count on them, these guys have just got things back, and it will take some time to form combat effectiveness.

Just as Commander Wang's head was flying and thinking, the Kuomintang artillery fire began to extend to the back, and the infantry on the ground rushed madly behind the tanks.

Pei Changhui's plan is also very simple, he just wants to use superior firepower to offset the tenacity of the opposing PLA, use the long-range attack of artillery fire to defeat your living force before the infantry charges, and create conditions for the attacking troops.

However, his abacus is very good, but if the hero's second column is frightened by this bit of artillery fire, then what is it called the main column of the Northwest Field Army? What else is it called the old bone unit of the People's Liberation Army.

Although the attacking Kuomintang soldiers followed behind the tanks, the second column dug a large number of anti-tank trenches in front of the defensive positions of various units, and no matter how powerful the tanks were, they could not get by, and in the end they still had to rely on the infantry to directly face the light firepower of the infantry of the People's Liberation Army.

The fighters on the position kept putting the charging Kuomintang soldiers dozens of meters away before attacking, and machine guns, rifles, submachine guns and grenades went through together.

This is also the old tradition of the People's Liberation Army, close combat, that is, to fight close combat, fire at you at a distance of tens of meters, so that your long-range artillery fire and aircraft can not wield their power, eye to eye, nose to nose, fight is courage and perseverance.

However, if you want to fight with the People's Liberation Army, there is no unit in the world that dares to do this, and the grenades like a torrential rain caused heavy casualties to the attacking Kuomintang soldiers, and as soon as the two troops came into contact with the Kuomintang soldiers, a large number of them immediately fell.

The soldiers in the back saw that the situation was not good, so they turned around and ran back, but it was a big joke to think that it would be so easy to run away before the PLA position.

A grenade was thrown, and the soldiers on the position jumped out of the trenches and began to counter-charge, at this time it depends on whose courage is great, if the Kuomintang soldiers turn around and entangle with the PLA, the situation on the battlefield can change.

But where can these soldiers, who want to use both hands as feet, still have the mood to fight desperately with the PLA, and they retreat from the position with a strange scream like a human voice.

The fighters on the position followed and chased after them, chasing them closer and closer.

Chase and run, who can run faster? When it comes to running, of course, it has to be the PLA troops, and the soldiers rushed up in a few steps, pinning the Kuomintang soldiers who were rushing at their backs to their positions with the long bayonets of their rifles.

"Plop" stabbed in, then pulled out the bayonet violently, and then rushed to the next one, and another bayonet pierced, and another blood flower came out.
