Chapter 501: The blood of Zhan Lanzhou stained the battle flag red
The second attack of the Northwest Field Army was launched simultaneously from the east, west, and south, so why was it not surrounded from the north? Because the north of Lanzhou City is the Yellow River, there is no way to deploy troops, so the attack can only start from three sides. \
In order to defend Lanzhou, the Ma family army defending the city can only fight with its back to the Yellow River, and fighting against the water is a taboo for soldiers, but the enemy is not without a way to retreat, this retreat is the big iron bridge across the Yellow River, known as the Yellow River Iron Bridge.
The iron bridge of the Yellow River is the only way for the Qingma Army to retreat, once the war is unfavorable, the Qingma Army can withdraw from this bridge from Lanzhou, and then go north into the vast Gobi to continue to deal with the PLA.
The importance of the Yellow River Iron Bridge is well understood by both sides of the enemy, and it is also one of the key battles fought by both sides in the Battle of Lanzhou.
Shen Jialing in the southwest outside Lanzhou is the closest place to the city and the Yellow River Iron Bridge in the outer defensive positions of Lanzhou, if this position collapses and the Yellow River Iron Bridge is cut off, the only way for the Qingma Army to survive will be gone, so Ma Jiyuan put a whole division on Shen Jialing.
The Yellow River Iron Bridge is the retreat of the Ma Jiajun in Qinghai, Ma Jijun made up his mind to keep it, don't look at Ma Jiyuan's public statement in front of his subordinates that he would fight with the People's Liberation Army in Lanzhou for ten years, this is just to boost morale, it is just a pretense, his real idea is that if it is really not possible, he will withdraw along the Yellow River Iron Bridge with his troops, and use the speed of cavalry maneuvering to fight guerrilla warfare with the People's Liberation Army in the vast area of the great northwest.
Ma Jiyuan didn't know what Mr. Peng was thinking, but with Mr. Peng's wisdom, he had already calculated this Yellow River Iron Bridge, no matter what, the Iron Bridge People's Liberation Army must be captured, which created a precondition for the fierce battle between the enemy and our army.
If you want to prevent the enemy from escaping, you must seize the Yellow River Iron Bridge, and if you want to seize the Yellow River Iron Bridge, you must capture the Shen Jialing position in the southwest, and there is no other way to think of it.
Shen Jialing, more than 2,000 meters above sea level, and the Doujia Mountain attacked by the 63rd Army, is an important support point in the defense system of Lanzhou City, standing on the main peak of Shen Jialing, you can clearly see the activities of the people in the city and the Yellow River Iron Bridge behind Lanzhou City.
The commander Zhang Dazhi was responsible for attacking Shen Jialing's position, the main force of the Second Corps of the Northwest Field Army, and the commander Zhang Dazhi.
The 38-year-old commander Zhang Dazhi was born in Jia County, northern Shaanxi, and is an out-and-out northwestern man, and the earliest old foundation of the Fourth Army is the former guerrillas of the old Red Army in northern Shaanxi, which was brought out by General Liu Zhidan, and the Fourth Army is a soldier of the people in the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningbo border area.
After the failure of the first attack on Shen Jialing, Commander Zhang Dazhi readjusted and organized the attack troops, determined to carry out continuous attacks with the superior strength of three divisions (10, 11, and 12), leaving no respite for the enemy, and took out the 31st Regiment of the 11th Division, which was the most effective part of the Fourth Army, as an assault team, preparing to break through the defense line of Shen Jialing of the Green Horse Army in one fell swoop.
The 31st Regiment is the main force of the Fourth Army, and it is the most famous, with the most personnel, and the strongest combat effectiveness in the entire Fourth Army.
The signal flare for the attack was raised, and the 31st Regiment, under the command of the regiment commander Wang Xueli, set up a battle formation and began to assault in two directions.
Before the assault began, the artillery fire destroyed most of the pillboxes and firing points on the enemy's forward fortifications, and then the sharp knife troops carried out continuous blasting, and the 31st Regiment advanced step by step, with the cooperation of the brother troops, with the help of their own strong fire cover, the 31st Regiment quickly captured the enemy's first line of defense.
But when the 31st Regiment assaulted the second defensive position, the counterattack of the Green Horse Army began, and frequent counter-charges were carried out during the positional battle, which was a tactic used by the Green Horse Army, and it was also used handily, and the counterattack was fierce and resolute, and the strength continued to increase.
Close counterattack operations are one of the most characteristic tactics of the Green Horse Army, and it is also very similar to the tactics of the People's Liberation Army, but now no one has studied the tactics of the People's Liberation Army.
Bayonet to bayonet, broadsword to sabre, the 31st Regiment of the People's Liberation Army, which rushed to the second line of defense, was glued together with the Green Horse Army, and the two armies collided together like a flood of fierce beasts, fighting the most brutal white-knuckle battle.
White-knuckle battle is a tactic that both warring sides are unwilling to use, and under normal circumstances, it is a few minutes to decide the victory, but outside Lanzhou in August 49, the white-knuckle struggle between the 31st Regiment of the Fourth Army of the People's Liberation Army and the Qingma Army lasted for a whole morning and did not end, and both sides were dead and the corpses were piled up.
The Red Army and the Eighth Route Army are the ancestors of close combat, and they are the troops that started by fighting close combat, so when the Qingma Army howled and rushed down, the soldiers did not panic at all, but raised their bayonets and met them without hesitation.
Flesh and blood are flying, bayonets are red, more ruthless, more fearless than death, more courageous, the PLA has not served anyone or troops.
The battle was fought until noon, there was only one person around a soldier named Zhao Faxiang, and his squad including the squad leader had all been sacrificed, he thought of the nearby brother class, and remembered the determination written before the battle, and there was only one sentence on the determination written by Zhao Faxiang, who had no culture, "The remaining person must fight to the end."
Zhao Faxiang, who remembered the letter of determination, decided to do it himself, and he had to stick to his position alone, so he represented the whole class, on behalf of the sacrificed comrades-in-arms, Zhao Faxiang, who had made up his mind to die, found a machine gun abandoned by the enemy, and used the terrain he occupied at the turn of a communication trench to continuously strafe the counterattack troops of the Green Horse Army.
Zhao Faxiang is a veteran soldier, very skilled in the use of weapons, the targets he shoots are the most fierce, the most cheerful, carrying a saber and shouting and commanding, the three shots are accurate, and the sound of clicking and clicking has been maintained.
The bullet entered from the front chest, pierced through the back, and entered the head, shattering the entire skull, with the support of Zhao Faxiang's machine gun, his position was miraculously stabilized.
Sun Mingzhong, the commander of the fourth company, was only nineteen years old, and was a well-known clever ghost in the whole regiment, and he was very fond of him from the regiment commander to the soldiers. It's a platoon leader, right? ”
Xiao Sun raised his neck: "Hmph, what is the platoon leader." ”
The fellow was very surprised: "Good girl, I don't even pay attention to the platoon commander, is it still a company commander?" ”
Xiao Sun didn't speak, just snorted a few times, and the fellow was even more surprised: "My God, the company commander doesn't pay attention to it, this little bit won't be a battalion commander, right??" ”
Sun Mingzhong couldn't help it, and finally replied with a laugh: "Sue you, I am a trumpeter, and when my trumpet blows, the head of the regiment has to listen to me." ”
Xiao Sun's story quickly spread back to the regiment, and in the end, even the regiment commander Wang Xueli knew, and the trumpeter Sun Mingzhong became a famous figure in the 31st regiment.
In fact, what Sun Ming admires the most is their company commander and instructor, carrying a shell gun, commanding more than 100 people, and he can be as majestic as he wants, so Sun Mingzhong is learning from the company commander and instructor all the time.
After the battle began, Sun Mingzhong's body was full of grenades, followed closely behind the company commander, and swooped down on the main position of the Shen family leader, and then the battle became more and more intense, and the situation became more and more critical, the instructor sacrificed, the company commander also sacrificed, the deputy company commander sacrificed, the deputy instructor also sacrificed, all the cadres above the platoon level of the whole company were killed, and there were only a dozen people left in the fourth company of more than 100 people.
Nineteen-year-old Sun Mingzhong cried, he picked up the company commander's barge gun and command flag, and commanded the remaining dozen or so comrades-in-arms to face the group of Qingma soldiers who came up and did not retreat, the bullet was finished, this little soldier went to carry the bullet, the grenade ran out, and he went to brave the rain of bullets to resist the grenade, in short, the position that the fourth company exchanged for his life could not be lost. (After the end of the Lanzhou Campaign, Sun Mingzhong was appointed by the higher-level party committee as the commander of the fourth company of the newly formed Trinity Regiment)
The second company has a water-cooled Makqin heavy machine gun, this machine gun is the treasure of the second company, after the order to attack was issued, several soldiers carried this heavy machine gun and drilled upward, and encountered the counterattack force of the Green Horse Army while running.
There were more than 300 soldiers of the Qingma Army who counterattacked from the top of the mountain, but there were only a few soldiers in the vicinity of the second company, and there was a huge difference in strength, but the PLA troops had a common characteristic, no matter how strong the enemy was, they had to fight, and there was nothing to consider.
In the sound of "doodoo" shooting, the Green Horse Army was thrown into one piece after another by the heavy machine guns, and soon, the heavy machine gun of the second company became a thorn in the enemy's side, all the fire was firing at them, and the machine gun shooters became the enemy's key targets.
Zhang Shenglu, the platoon commander who was shooting at the enemy with a heavy machine gun, died, Bai Shengwen, the sixth squad leader, went up, Jin Ding, the deputy squad leader, went up after Bai Shengwen, the sixth squad leader, died, and Zhao Zhanguo, the instructor, went up after the deputy squad leader Jin Dingshan died, and the roaring heavy machine gun never stopped.
The enemy, who could not withstand the heavy machine gun fire, retreated and retreated behind a hidden firepower point, wanting to use this firepower point to continue to resist stubbornly, fighting a war is about timing, and now the timing is very critical, the counterattack force of the Qingma Army has just retreated, and it is an opportunity to attack while the enemy is not firmly established, but there are only a few soldiers near the second company, what should I do???
