The telephone rang incessantly, and the command post of the 65th Kuomintang Division received the news that the howitzer regiment had been attacked. The full-text and ad-free novels are all biquge.info on Aishang Novel Network

The officer raised his voice slightly: "Report to the division, it's a call from the howitzer regiment, they have just suffered from the communist artillery attack and suffered heavy losses. ”

Li Zhen, who had just shown a very gentlemanly demeanor, immediately jumped up like a dog with its tail stepped on, took a few steps to the side of the officer who answered the phone, and asked viciously: "Repeat to me again, how is the howitzer regiment?" ”

It's no wonder that Li Zhen is in a hurry, the howitzer regiment is too important to the 65th Division, without this regiment, the strength of the entire division will drop a lot, the officer replied a little aggrieved: "Division, the phone is still connected, you can talk to them directly." ”

Li Zhen, who took the microphone, became worse the more he listened, and the face of the servant who was red a few minutes ago became iron-blue, and then directly threw the microphone on the ground, and yelled at the subordinates in the room: "Do you know, the howitzer regiment is over, the howitzer regiment is over, it was destroyed by the artillery fire of the communist army's Tubalu, don't you all say that the communist army has no artillery, what's going on?" Give me an explanation. ”

The officers in the room stared at each other, and they all scolded secretly in their hearts: When did we say that the communist army has no artillery fire, and we also reminded you to be careful of the artillery of the Eighth Road, didn't you, the division commander, say it heavily, why did it depend on us again.

But the officials crushed people to death, although they had grievances in their hearts, these officers could only obediently lower their heads and be reprimanded, a whole howitzer regiment, the most important firepower strike unit of the 65th Division, and there were ten German-made howitzers of 150 mm caliber in it, and that was it? was wiped out by the communist army Tubalu, who he never looked down on? Li Zhen was so distressed that he was about to crush his teeth.

The artillery strike of the independent brigade greatly boosted the morale of the soldiers on the front line, and the shells flying over their heads must have been fired by their own artillery, which was nothing to doubt, an old soldier said very proudly to a soldier of the teaching brigade: "See, the artillery of our brigade is not vegetarian, Gao Xiang's kid is very powerful, in my estimation, these shells must be for the Kuomintang artillery, and when the enemy's artillery is solved, it will be their turn to the infantry, let's just wait to see the excitement, the good show is still to come." Listen to me. ”

The veteran soldier has fought a lot of battles, and the battlefield experience is indeed powerful, and his feelings are very keen, so this veteran inadvertently guessed the thoughts of the brigade commander Li Yong, and tried to find a way to deal with the artillery first, and then clean up the infantry.

Five minutes of preparation time to speak, Gao Xiang gathered the artillery of the whole battalion, plus a few baby bumps of the teaching brigade, the number of artillery is close to eighty, it is about eighty guns, this is not the rifles and grenades in the hands of the soldiers, such a scale is already a bit of a terrifying number in the brigade level troops, especially in the Northwest Field Army, which is famous for its poverty.

The battlefield is in a white-hot state, the sky is completely dark, look at this posture, the warring sides have not eaten dinner, and they have no time to eat, the 160 brigade is still playing with a desperate attack, the tank is lost and cannot be withdrawn, the soldiers are clear, the brigade commander will take the supervision team in the back of an attack echelon, these guys of the supervision team can do anything regardless of whether you are your own person or not, as long as the brigade commander farts they dare to shoot.

The brigade commander of the 160th Brigade, Huang Zhiyu, also went out, wearing a steel helmet and holding a submachine gun in his hand, shouting and directing the battle behind the attacking troops.

The front one fell and the one behind it went up, and the corpses were piled up, and the entire 160 Brigade had to be gambled, and the wave attack was wave after wave, and at this time, only a thunderous roar was heard from the sky, and countless bright spots with fiery red tails dragged the arc of the ballistics, and smashed over in the surprised eyes of the Kuomintang soldiers.

Damn, it's not that it's raining in the dark, but an anti-personnel grenade specially designed to hit the infantry, a large-caliber anti-explosive bomb, a strike wave is hundreds of rounds, and several rapid shots in a row, all of which smashed into the charging infantry group.

Suddenly, the whole battlefield was like a pot, wolves cried and ghosts screamed, flesh and blood flew everywhere, and the firepower of the independent brigade had an overwhelming advantage after the artillery of the 65th division of the Kuomintang was wiped out.

Gao Xiang, this kid, used all his skills, and he took an artillery command group to touch a small hill not too far from the forward position, and commanded the battle from a high position.

Brigade commander Li Yong asked Gao Xiang to choose the target to hit by himself, how to fight is the business of your artillery battalion, the brigade headquarters does not interfere, of course, it is not possible to fight badly, the trust of the chief made Gao Xiang excited, and commanded the artillery unit to start from two or three hundred meters of the front line and bombard the attacking Kuomintang infantry group back and forth.

The Kuomintang army fell into a strange state when it was about to be dark, and the soldiers walked passively like a flock of sheep being driven, and the nerves were numb as many people died.

Gao Xiang, who was pressed on his shoulders by the brigade commander Li Yong, nervously thought about what method could be used to give the most powerful support to the troops at the forefront.

The five infantry battalions of the Independent Brigade used all kinds of weapons in their hands to rush up against the crowd of yellow and black girls who rushed up fiercely, and the charging Kuomintang soldiers were knocked down one after another, but what made the soldiers strange was that the soldiers of the Kuomintang army who attacked this time appeared to be extremely tenacious, and did not flee because of heavy casualties, but used various obstacles to resist and not retreat.

The dense rain of bullets of the Independent Brigade was very clear on the completely darkened position, and the bullets weaved a dark red web of death at the front of the position, and any living object that entered this net would be torn to shreds.

Just when the soldiers felt a little strangely that the Kuomintang attacking force was extremely stubborn, the artillery battalion of the Independent Brigade opened fire, and the violent explosion blew up a wall of fire 200 meters away from the first trench, which was a wall of fire made of explosives and shrapnel, and fragments, broken corpses, stones, trees, and damaged weapons were thrown more than 10 meters and 20 meters high.

After a series of major battles, the artillery battalion of the independent brigade has grown into an ace firepower strike unit in the Northwest Field Army, and the soldiers are extremely proficient in artillery drills, coupled with the unfatal fighting style, and the courage to dare to challenge a difficult challenge, Gao Xiang and his artillerymen have met the requirements of the brigade commander Li Yong to initially establish an artillery unit, and they are already a well-known heroic unit in the independent brigade and the second column and even the field army.

The explosion point of the artillery shells was only more than 200 meters away from the nearest forward position, a distance that was unimaginable before, and no one in the troops of the Eighth Route Army dared to do so, but now Gao Xiang and his artillerymen are full of confidence to use artillery shells to attack the officers and men of the 160 Brigade charging at a distance of more than 200 meters.

Starting from more than 200 meters, the artillery shells extended backward wave after wave, hitting the infantry, the second and third echelons behind, and the Kuomintang headquarters and the supervisory team.

The soldiers of the Independent Brigade often practiced hard work within 200 meters, and the Kuomintang soldiers who staggered out of the artillery fire became the best targets.

Why is it a live target? Because these people all have some flames or sparks on their bodies, and if they can get out of the cannon fire and not die, there can be no sparks on their bodies, but it is obvious at night when it is completely dark.

The soldiers laughed when they saw these dazed Kuomintang soldiers, including the soldiers of the teaching brigade who had run out of ammunition, and they wanted to break through the positions of our PLA with this ghostly appearance? The heavy machine guns on the positions stopped firing, and the shooters were interested in watching the Czech light machine gun and Type 38 rifle in action.

There was no need for the Kuomintang soldiers to blockade with heavy machine guns, and the submachine guns of more than 200 meters could not reach them, so a large number of Czech light machine guns equipped with troops were put to use, and the sound of three bursts of "click" was heard throughout the entire position.

Not only did the heavy machine guns stop firing, but even the Czech light machine guns stopped firing, and the main weapon on the position was the Type 38 rifle.

The commander of the fourth battalion, Ning Jinshan, is the first shooter of the independent brigade, because of his habit, the soldiers of their battalion are the most accurate in all nine battalions of the independent brigade, and the soldiers are also the same as their battalion commanders, they habitually carry a rifle on their backs while equipping with submachine guns, so the fourth battalion is also the battalion with the most 38 rifles in all combat battalions, with hundreds of rifles.

Brigade commander Li Yong doesn't care about this, the battalion commanders can do whatever they like, as long as the battle is fought well, and thanks to the fact that there are cars to travel during the march, otherwise just two weapons and ammunition are enough for the soldiers to carry.

However, tired also has the advantage of being tired, the submachine guns of that era and the current automatic rifles could not be compared, the accuracy and firing range were far worse, and the submachine guns were not of much use at a distance of about 200 meters, and the Type 38 rifle just made up for the lack of long-range firepower.

The sound of 'pop, pop, snap, snap' was heard one after another, and it was only before they finally came out of the artillery fire, and the soldiers of the 160th Brigade with Mars on their bodies fell to the ground one after another in the gunfire, with their heads down and their mouths gnawing on mud. ~~~~! ~!
