The 245th Division of the Kuomintang Central Army System ran all the way to Zhangye under the deterrence of a large army, plus the original local troops of the Kuomintang in Zhangye, with a total strength of nearly 10,000 people, which is not much less than the ** brigade of the Second Army of the People's Liberation Army.
One believes that we should strike while the iron is hot, launch an attack immediately, win in the chaos, and quickly eat the enemy defending Zhangye. The other is that it is suspected of underestimating the enemy if it launches an attack immediately, and the ** brigade should wait for the arrival of the main force of the Second Army with peace of mind, and wait for the three main divisions of the Second Army to arrive before launching an attack, and use four times the strength of the enemy to encircle the enemy in Zhangye.
Logically speaking, the second plan is the most secure, but also the most certain, concentrating forces to fight a war of annihilation is the traditional advantage of the PLA, but the brigade commander Li Yong does not think so, Li Yong feels that the battlefield is not immutable, the tactics are dead, people are alive, the so-called safe plan is beneficial to their own side at the same time, but also gives the enemy a chance, once the first brigade stagnates, the Kuomintang's 245th Division can have time to arrange defense and build a variety of firepower, you know, Although the Kuomintang army suffered more defeats and fewer victories in the confrontation with the PLA, it also had its strengths, and this advantage was that the positional warfare of the Kuomintang regular army was very good, and it was not comparable to the turtle cavalry of the Ma Jiajun, and if the enemy was given a chance, the price that the troops would have to pay when they attacked again would be much greater.
The second reason is that the original strength of the Kuomintang army in Zhangye was two local security companies, Li Yong believed. The 245th Division of the Central Army had just arrived and was not familiar with the environment and geography of Zhangye. It will take some time to expand the area of defense, and the ** brigade can just take advantage of the enemy's unstable foothold to launch an attack, and another point, and the most important point, the Kuomintang army seems to be quite numerous, but the officers and soldiers have no intention of fighting, that is, the morale of the troops is low. This is the most important thing, what kind of battle can a soldier fight if he does not have the will to fight.
It is on the basis of the above points that the ** brigade should not only not wait for the arrival of the main forces, but should also immediately attack. Hit them off guard.
In the combat unit, the final decision is still in the hands of the brigade commander, and Li Yong decides that after 20 minutes of preparation, 20 minutes of preparation will be passed. At the beginning of the attack, the ** brigade launched a surprise attack from the front of Zhangye, did not encircle the iron barrel, and tried to blast the enemy out of the city. Gather annihilation in the wild.
Again, as the old saying goes, we must flexibly use the strategy and tactics of our army. Strategically contempt the enemy, but tactically value the enemy. **Brigade has more than 11,000 people, it is not a good way to disperse troops to surround around, and entering the city to fight street battles with the enemy will also increase losses, **The strength of the brigade lies in the strong firepower, and the houses in the city are dense, there are too many obstacles, and the street fighting will reduce the advantage of the strong firepower, so it is necessary to use its own strength, attack the enemy's short, take advantage of the sudden offensive, break through the city defense, and blast the enemy out of the city like a duck, as long as it is in the field, it is the world of the **brigade.
At dusk, it was the time to open the fire for cooking, and the 245th Division was also preparing to make a fire for cooking.
Running vigorously, where do you have to run to the head, it has reached the depths of the Hexi Corridor, full of desolation, why do you have to run when you get to the place where rabbits don't? Where else can you run? Didn't you say that the People's Liberation Army wouldn't come, why didn't it stop, the commander said, you can still run to Jiuquan, but what can you do after you get to Jiuquan, the Third World War didn't start, and I didn't see any movement of the big American bosses who were talking about it all day long, but the communist army, racing with the soles of their feet and wheels, desperately chasing, and if it goes on like this, I really don't know where to return.
Outside the city, the artillery battalion of the ** brigade was busy with all its might, and the howitzers were neatly arranged in the back row at a certain distance, and the battalion commander Gao Xiang shouted vigorously: "Damn, you kid pull the hoe a little more, say you, how can you be like a girl, didn't you hear the brigade commander let me prepare in twenty minutes, hurry up." β
Gao Xiang kept shouting back and forth, scolding in his mouth, and he was not idle under his feet, and when he saw anyone moving slowly, he kicked his soldiers one by one and ran to work, like wild dogs who were happy.
Finally, as soon as he was ready to stop, the muzzle of the black hole was high, like a rooster in heat, Gao Xiang gasped and reported to Li Yong on the phone: "Report to the brigade commander, the artillery battalion is ready, please instruct." β
Li Yong knew that Gao Xiang's kid was a good material, the old soldier of the Eighth Route who was born in mud legs had grown into an excellent artillery commander, and it was not easy for an artillery battalion to complete the battle transformation on the march in less than twenty minutes, not to mention that the artillery battalion of the ** brigade was different from other troops, and the Yin Shi Cheng dΓΉ of the family was even more powerful than an artillery regiment of an ordinary army.
"Well, yes, this guy will have development in the future." Li Yong muttered softly and gave the order to open fire, and as the red flag in the hand of the commander of the artillery unit waved down fiercely, the muzzles of hundreds of artillery pieces spit out red fire at the same time, and in the deafening roar and the tremor of the earth, a group of projectiles flew out through the acceleration of rifling in the breech under the impetus of gunpowder.
Rapid fire, intermittent fire, six rapid fire, eight intermittent fire, in the blink of an eye, the howitzer battalion has dried up thousands of shells.
It is worthy of being a ** regular army, the family background is quite solid, don't look at the running for such a long time, the soldiers' rations are still enough, just when the soldiers sitting around are preparing to eat, they hear a sudden hissing sound from the friction between high-speed objects and air overhead.
The hissing sound was accompanied by a scream of "chirping", and the cry with the end was heartbreaking, the officers and soldiers of the 245th Division were regular Kuomintang soldiers who had seen a big scene, and they knew what was wrong as soon as they heard the sound, what the hell, no, this is the sound of shells smashing over, run.
It's late, and it's too late to run when you hear the sound, because it's not a few shells, not dozens, but hundreds or thousands of shells falling from the sky together, and such a density of shells makes the Kuomintang 245th Division, which is concentrated together for dinner, have nowhere to hide and nowhere to hide.
A few shells can also be used to find a place to hide with experience, but thousands of shells are covered in an area, and there is no way to dodge without preparation.
Craters all over the ground, a sea of fire all over the ground, and fragments of shells flying all over the sky, becoming the web of death of Shura's hell in the area shrouded in artillery fire, and the flesh and blood of people were as fragile as paper under the violent firepower, and the flesh and blood, broken corpses, and tattered weapons flew into the sky together.
The soldiers of the 245th Division were crying and howling, desperately trying to find a place to hide, but where could there be a place to hide, the shells from the People's Liberation Army were like heavy rain, and the mouse holes were blown up several times, where could people go to hide?
With no strength to fight back and no ability to resist, the 245th Division was completely stunned, and after the intensive artillery fire extended backwards, Li Yong ordered the armored troops to attack.
"Boom, Galala," tanks and armored vehicles drove up in groups, and behind the tanks and armored vehicles were the most classic weapons of the ** brigade, five 150 mm heavy plus howitzers.
The ** brigade tasted the sweetness in the battle of Lanzhou, and now these big guys are like hammers hitting the wall, and in the ** brigade they play a special task of breaking the city wall, under the cover of tanks, follow the butt of the armored troops to shoot at close range at the city wall.
Gao Xiang's artillery successfully suppressed the fire of the Kuomintang troops on the city wall, and the anti-explosive bombs and incendiary bombs turned the entire attack area into a sea of fire and a forbidden area for life.
Without the threat of enemy firepower, the artillerymen who operated these big guys became even more unscrupulous, pushing the cannons closer and closer, stripped off their arms and worked hard, the soldiers thought, what are you afraid of? Anyway, with our Deputy Commander Zhang on top, the cannonball tube is enough, and it just slammed down.
In the Lanzhou Campaign, these five cannons made meritorious contributions, but the only remaining artillery shells in the ** brigade were also exhausted, and the commander of the field army, Zhang Zongxun, who knew the situation, did not work hard, and ordered the logistics to ensure the supply of their shells, and who could not complete the task to deal with whom, which gave several treasures of the ** brigade a chance to speak again, with a fierce man like Deputy Commander Zhang as a backer in the back, the soldiers were in a good mood, and they were generous when they worked.
Open artillery, open artillery, and bombard the city wall, which is much better than sending ** directly to the soldiers, not only is it fast, but the most important thing is to avoid casualties.
I don't know how many shells were dried, but there are no people, it is estimated that it will be about ten minutes, and the city wall of Zhangye was blasted open by these big guys.
The artillery fire extended to the rear, the tanks rushed up to cover in front, the city wall was bombarded by heavy artillery and opened a large gap, the ** brigade completely grasped the initiative on the battlefield, under the direct and indirect fire strikes, twenty minutes later, the charge horn sounded, and a large number of infantry swarmed up.
Thousands of Tom submachine guns fired incessantly, knocking stunned and non-dead soldiers into stuff like plugs and mud, and the infantry occupied the shattered walls, opened the gates, and drove tanks and armored vehicles into it.
In Zhangye City, the headquarters of the 245th Division of the Kuomintang.
The sudden blow scared these senior Kuomintang officers stupidly, no, when did the large army of the communist army surround it, how can the soles of the communist army catch up with the wheels of the ** car, this reason doesn't make sense......)
