Chapter 340 Fight the Thirty-Sixth Division Five Again

The artillery fire of the independent brigade was so tight that the entire Huti Mountain position was repeatedly covered with shells, the trees and stones on the mountain were blown down one layer after another, and the craters were one after another, and the defending Kuomintang 28th Brigade suffered heavy losses due to three artillery strikes in a row.

Wang Laohu, who was preparing to attack from the front, did not wait for the end of several attacks by artillery fire before sending troops up, and no one would say anything if he did so, but it was certainly not good to send troops up before the artillery fire stopped, although this would be a great risk.

(It is good to send xiǎo troops up to achieve results, but if one does not master well and is defeated by his own artillery fire, he will lose, then the commander will be dealt with by his superiors after the war, and it is normal to be removed and demoted because of command errors)

At present, each infantry combat battalion of the independent brigade has more than 800 personnel, which is an authentic large infantry battalion, and with the heavy weapons equipped in the battalion, even ordinary regimental-level troops will not necessarily fall behind.

This time, each battalion dispatched a platoon to the upper mō, using the smoke from the artillery bombs as a cover, and the standard equipment of the independent brigade was nine platoons per battalion, each platoon had four squads, and each squad had twenty people, so this platoon-level combat force was more than eighty people.

The two xiǎo troops, each of which numbered more than eighty people, formed a battle line under the gaze of the soldiers behind, covered each other, and quickly broke forward.

In order to make up for the lack of weapons at that time, each infantry platoon or infantry squad had several Type 38 rifles, and the standard was 20 people per squad, two Type 38 rifles and two Tǐng or four Tǐng Czech light machine guns, and the rest were submachine guns.

It is no problem for such weapons and equipment to fight street battles and close combat, but at a distance, he feels a little insufficient equipment, and Li Yong has no good way to solve it for the time being, so he has to see what kind of development the troops have developed in the future.

(This problem is also a common problem encountered by our army in the War of Resistance Against Japan, the War of Liberation, and the later War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, until the emergence of the Bayi automatic rifle, which was finalized and produced in 81, and is now still being installed in large quantities)

Jumping, advancing, jumping from crater to crater, little by little approaching the mountain that was still being torn by artillery fire, shrapnel and crumbling stones kept whizzing overhead, the soldiers didn't seem to feel this qiē, they climbed up hand and foot together, and from time to time the walkie-talkie of the platoon commander who led the platoon commander came from time to time the fifth battalion commander Wang Laohu's somewhat worried shout: "How is it?" How far did you break through? Watch the distance and don't get killed by our shells. ”

Just when the two Xiǎo troops were still a few hundred meters away from the top of the mountain, they saw that the artillery fire in the sky suddenly stopped, and the familiar sound of the soldiers' bugles was heard again from the bottom of the mountain.

The military horn has sounded twice in a row, and the troops have not launched an attack, not to mention the officers and soldiers of the 28th Brigade of the Kuomintang who are guarding the position, and even the Xiǎo troops of the two PLA troops who have secretly come up do not know whether they are really going to attack this time, and the specific time of action is only known to the commanders above the battalion level.

The Xiǎo troops, who had already rushed to the halfway point of the mountain, heard the sound of the military horn coming from the bottom of the mountain, and some people were accustomed to looking back, and saw countless soldiers coming out of the positions of the fifth and fourth battalions, two infantry battalions, 16,700 soldiers, and even the commander of the fifth battalion, Wang Laohu, and the commander of the fourth battalion, Ning Jinshan, also led the troops to charge.

The soldier who looked back stabbed the platoon commander next to him: "Platoon commander, platoon commander, you see, this time it's true, comrades have come up." ”

The platoon commander turned around and took a look, and then shouted excitedly: "Attention, our artillery fire has stopped, and the enemy will come out to meet it immediately, the cover group, the demolition team, rush forward, and blast before the enemy can react, and let them all take the earth plane to the sky." ”

The platoon commander is a veteran soldier in the independent brigade, and he is also injured like Wang Laohu and just returned to the army, catching up with the expansion of the independent brigade requires a large number of grassroots commanders, the former veteran soldier is the squad leader, and the squad leader is now the platoon leader, but this guy wants to make a great contribution like Wang Laohu, and then he also shows off in front of people, and now there is still displeasure when the opportunity comes, as for the fact that it is likely that sacrifice and glory will not be in the consideration of these veterans for a long time, and not afraid of death is the most basic condition for grassroots commanders of the PLA, If you can't even do this, then just don't be a squad leader and platoon leader.

Several battle groups immediately rushed out, and each fighter carried a five-kilogram fried yào bag, and now it was time for these fried yào bags to exert their power.

In the command post of the 36th Division of the Kuomintang under the big temple on the top of the mountain, the division commander Zhong Song shouted angrily: "It's all *** waste, hurry up and send an observation post to monitor the actions of the communist army, the communist army is in míhuò us, maybe this time it will really come up, hurry up." ”

I have to say that Zhong Song is this guy, he has enough experience in fighting, and several artillery strikes by the People's Liberation Army made him vaguely guess the intention of the Independent Brigade, but it was still a little late, and the casualties of the 28th Brigade guarding Huti Mountain were inevitable.

After several rounds of artillery preparations, the Independent Brigade finally began to really attack the position of the 28th Brigade, and the actions of the 1st Battalion, 2nd Battalion, and 3rd Battalion also began together. Whoever goes up first is a hero, and our battalion just wants to change an auxiliary attack into an assault, and others can think whatever they like. ”

Not only did he have this kind of thinking, but Ma Quanyou, the commander of the second battalion, and Ma Chengsheng, the commander of the third battalion, almost all of them thought so, what kind of auxiliary attack is not auxiliary attack, since they have done it, they have to come to the real thing, so that the Kuomintang troops can also taste the taste of being bullied by people with fewer people and more people.

For a long time, when the Northwest Field Army was fighting, it won more with less, and confronted the enemy with inferior weapons and troops, and this was the case with the devils, and even more so when it fought the Kuomintang.

Each of the five infantry battalions of the Independent Brigade has a heavy machine-gun platoon and a mortar platoon, and with these firepower, several battalion commanders are very confident that they want to fight the enemy on the mountain.

Under the pressure of the division commander Zhong Song and some middle and high-ranking officers, the soldiers who hid in the anti-artillery dòng and did not dare to come out finally came to the forward position, and when they poked their heads out, they immediately saw the commandos of the PLA attacking upward, and these soldiers understood that the PLA had really come up this time.

The officers pulled their necks and shouted: "The communist army is coming, shoot, shoot quickly, if you don't shoot again, Lao Tzu will kill you." ”

Wei Gang, the battalion commander of the machine gun battalion, was very itchy, watching other troops doing it in full swing, they had nothing to do and were not in a hurry, but it was useless to be in a hurry, the brigade commander, the political commissar and the temporary commander Wang Laohu had no intention of using the machine gun battalion.

Dozens of tǐng large-caliber high-shè machine guns, how powerful is this to be changed to flat shè? But why don't you call us yet? Do you want to kill my old guard in a hurry?

In fact, Wei Gang was too anxious, the Kuomintang mountain troops have been hiding and being artillery, the only two times they wanted to go out and were bombed, I didn't see the figure let Wang Laohu how to use the machine gun battalion, no matter how powerful the high shè machine gun is, it is also a machine gun, and the bullet will not turn, and the cat is not a làng fee bullet when you shoot in dòng, fortunately, this situation is not long, just when the soldiers of the machine gun battalion had nothing to do but wipe the bullet, the phone that Wei Gang had been waiting for finally rang: " Lao Wei, I'm Wang Laohu, are you in a hurry? Now it's time for your battalion to take down all the enemies who dare to take their heads down and fight them hard. ”

To say that Wang Laohu, an old soldier, is indeed good, the battlefield command ability is very good, and the grasp of timing is also very accurate, now is the time when the artillery fire of the independent brigade stops and the enemy comes out to meet the battle, and at this time, letting the machine gun battalion fire can form a continuous xìng of covering fire.

Wei Gang threw off the hat on his head, personally held a tǐng high shè machine gun, and shouted wildly: "Comrades - let the enemy know what the heavy firepower of the infantry is, let the Kuomintang know what the main force of the People's Liberation Army is, open fire - open fire." ”

The high shè machine gun in Wei Gang's hand slammed back, and then a long tongue of fire erupted from the muzzle, and the bullet chain held by the deputy shè beside him flowed loudly, and the shè sound of "kicking and kicking" made people frightened.

Dozens of tǐng high shè machine guns burst out from the position under the mountain at once, and the bullets were so dense that people couldn't open their eyes, forming an impenetrable cover in front of the fighters of the PLA attack force. 、

And on the position of the Kuomintang defensive troops on the mountain, the soldiers lay in the broken trenches without leaving the atmosphere, saying that the trenches are a little shabby, and the artillery strikes of more than one hour have made these so-called trenches unrecognizable, and some sections of the ground can not stop the bullets, what can they be called trenches.

The sound of large-caliber machine gun bullets making these soldiers feel straight in their hearts, let alone fighting back, as soon as they put their heads out, they were beaten to pieces, and the headless corpses fell to the ground with plopping and plopping, and the scorpion tigers with powerful covering firepower of the People's Liberation Army made people cold in their hands and feet.

The difference between a high shè machine gun bullet and an ordinary bullet is too big, an ordinary bullet hitting the body is an eye, as long as it is not hit on the vital point, if the rescue is timely, you can still pick up a xiǎo life, but this high shè machine gun bullet is different, hit on the arm, the whole arm is blown up, hit on the big tuǐ, a big tuǐ is gone, under the medical conditions at the time, this is a direct death, and it is even worse when hit on the head, even the steel helmet with the head is all knocked off, it is also death, but such a death is too shocking.
