Chapter 273: The Defeat of the Battle of Xifu

The main force of the 82nd Division of the Tsing Ma Army quickly withdrew, leaving only a cavalry regiment of more than 1,000 men to block the pursuit of the PLA. To read the latest chapters, please lock the biquge.info of Aishang Novels

The more than 1,000 people who stayed behind also understood their tasks, and the commander above was to let his more than 1,000 people and the communist army die in order to cover the retreat of the main force.

Who would like to carry out such a task? Obviously, the small life is enough to kill, seeing that the large army of the People's Liberation Army has been killed, can these more than 1,000 men and horses with no heavy weapons be able to stop it?

But no matter whether it is blocked or not, since the commander has an order, he has to carry it out, try to fight with the communist army, these soldiers who are used to riding horses feel that the safest place is still on horseback, and it is really uncomfortable to lie on the ground like infantry and fight with the communist army.

The cavalry of a regiment abandoned their horses and built some improvised fortifications in the shortest possible time, hoping to use these improvised fortifications to delay the attack of the People's Liberation Army as much as possible.

But it's just a matter of thinking, is the PLA's attack so easy to block? Li Yong discovered the problem not long after the troops rushed out, and according to the plan, the machine gun battalion led by Wei Gang rushed to the front to open the way, and the other battalions followed behind.

The machine-gun battalion was equipped with more than forty cars with external armor, and although these modified cars could not be compared with real tanks and armored vehicles, they were really enough to deal with cavalry, and there was no problem in blocking bullets.

The only heavy artillery battalion of the 82nd Division has been destroyed, and no other weapons can threaten Wei Gang's machine gun battalion, and these cars cannot be used to bully the Ma Jiajun who only has rifles and sabers left, which is why Li Yong has been tossing for a long time.

Seeing the fifth battalion rushing to the front, Li Yong didn't know what to say, He Cuihua's temperament was sometimes similar to that of Ma Changsheng, the commander of the third battalion, and she was too belligerent.

But belligerence is not good, they must be allowed to slow down their speed, fighting is not child's play, if you don't get it right, you will die, and the enemy's bullets are also real guys, and they can kill people in the same way.

"Is there a fifth battalion, is there a battalion commander He?" Li Yong's rare stern voice came from the walkie-talkie carried by the soldier beside He Cuihua.

No matter what it has to do with Li Yong, they have to do business on the battlefield, even if the two of them have slept together and done the most intimate things between men and women, He Cuihua still understands this truth very well.

Hearing Li Yong call himself Battalion Commander He, He Cuihua's heart was excited, Dayong called himself like this for the first time, hurriedly picked up the microphone, and replied cautiously: "I am He Cuihua, the acting battalion commander of the fifth battalion, please instruct the regiment commander if he has any orders." ”

"Order your battalion, slow down the attack, put the machine-gun battalion in front, do you understand? Hear me and repeat it. ”

He Cuihua knew that Li Yong was really a little angry, don't look at Dayong's age, he was also very scary when he was angry, which was very different from the hippie smile when he did bad things.

"Slow down the attack, put the machine gun battalion in front, understood." He Cuihua, who repeated the order, had no choice but to let his fifth battalion slow down a little to free up the line for the machine gun battalion to attack.

More than 40 cars of the machine gun battalion roared past, and the soldiers on the cars all stretched out their thumbs and pointed at their heads, the meaning is very clear, look at it, don't look at your five battalions rushing the fastest, you don't have to give way to us, we are the best battalion.

Battalion Commander Wei Gang sat in the cab of a car, stuck his head out and shouted at He Cuihua: "Battalion Commander He, comrades of the fifth battalion, don't rush so fast, follow us, you can just wait for the loot in a while, hahaha." ”

He Cuihua knew that Wei Gang was deliberately fighting with her, but there was no way, whether she was angry or not, there was an order that must be carried out, but she also knew very well that the order of the regiment commander Li Yong was still very correct, and using a car equipped with steel plates to rush to the front could effectively reduce the casualties of the troops.

The regimental headquarters of the independent regiment also left a few cars loaded with steel plates, and Grand Master Li took it for granted that he was still safe in such a car.

That's how it will be done in the future, when I take such a car during the war, I usually drive a small jeep, well, I have to get two cars for the health team, the reason is that don't touch our baby Xiaolian, Hu Xiaolian's health team has not contributed a lot recently.

Thinking of Hu Xiaolian, Li Yong's psychology began to itch again, but he had to hold on, he was too busy at this stage, and he really didn't take the opportunity, so he had to talk about it later.

It didn't take long to chase and see the blocking force left by Ma Jiajun, and the soldiers were still desperately digging fortifications, apparently trying to use this force to block the PLA chasing down.

Li Yong, holding a telescope, shouted on the walkie-talkie: "Stop moving forward and attack with mortars." ”

Although the enemy who blocked the attack was not very well equipped, it could not be forced to hit the muzzle, and although it could rush forward, it would definitely have to have a large number of casualties, and our independent regiment would not do such a thing.

The independent regiment, which had stopped its advance, soon attacked, and the five infantry battalions each had a mortar platoon, and the benefits were evident at this point, as these dexterous mortars could be lifted from the car very lightly and could be fired in a matter of minutes.

Li Yong's original idea was that the artillery platoon in each battalion should be equipped with more than 20 small-caliber mortars, or because of personnel reasons, a large amount of equipment was available, but the personnel of the troops were not replenished, and there was no way to use weapons.

Although this number is not simple, but according to Li Yong's requirements, it is still far away, and the five infantry battalions of the independent regiment set up an attack formation, and used dozens of small steel cannons to target the soldiers who were pouting their butts and were still busy digging fortifications.

Dozens of small cannons fired together, and the small shells in the sky flew over, and in a blink of an eye, they fell among the soldiers who were digging fortifications.

Under the cover of more than 50 mortars, Wei Gang's machine-gun battalion rushed forward, and more than 40 strange-shaped cars roared forward, and the heavy machine guns on the cars opened fire on the march.

More than 40 heavy machine guns approached rapidly under the cover of dozens of mortars, and the bullets and shells dried up like a raging storm, and the regiment left behind by the 82nd Division to cover immediately panicked.

There are only more than 1,000 people left, lying in the fortifications that have not yet been dug, with old-fashioned rifles in their hands (Ma Bufang's troops, there are not too many 38 types), and such equipment can block the rushing PLA? You don't have to think about it, these soldiers have long been bottomless in their hearts.

The troops of the People's Liberation Army began to attack with small artillery a few hundred meters away, and there was no terrain to cover and no effective fortifications, so the cavalry who had changed to infantry had to lie on the ground and stubbornly face each other.

In this way, the cavalry regiment was killed by two or three hundred men after several rounds of rapid mortar fire, and then dozens of armored cars drove up, and the heavy machine guns of the cars strafed the position.

In the eyes of Ma Jiajun, a soldier who covered the troops, such a battle was simply impossible to fight, more than 1,000 people were killed by small artillery as soon as they came into contact with the PLA, and two or three hundred people were killed. Alright, let's run.

The soldiers who figured it out got up from the ground in a hurry, found the horses hidden behind, jumped on the horses and ran, at this time the commander's restraint was no different from farting, the PLA shells were the same as hailstones, and then they were not stupid?

As the so-called defeat of the army is like a mountain, once the troops are defeated, there will be no combat effectiveness anymore, and everyone is thinking about how to run out, so as not to let the PLA who catches up be killed.

The regiment that stayed to fight the attack was defeated without even half an hour, which made the two pursuing PLA units cheaper, and it felt so cool to chase from behind, especially the cavalry unit of the Noji, who originally wanted to pay a certain price, but this time, okay, let the independent regiment be scattered.

More than 3,000 horses were chasing after him, and just after entering the firing range, the soldiers raised their rifles on their horses and fired, regardless of whether he could not hit them, so many guns fired together must have hit.

There is a distance of five or six kilometers in a row, and the independent regiment is getting closer and closer to a regiment of the 82nd Division that fled in front, no matter how fast the war horse runs, it is still a flesh and blood life, and there is nothing the car can do with them within ten kilometers (the road conditions are not good, the car can't run), but once the body of the war horse falls, you can see the advantage of the car.

The cars of the independent regiment and the soldiers of the cavalry division chased the covering regiment after only a few kilometers, and this so-called cavalry regiment was now left with only six or seven hundred men, and these hundreds of men were running forward with all their might, and at the same time they looked back and looked back.

Seeing this scene, Li Yong told the soldiers of the Sù Independent Regiment to slow down a little and let the cavalry division rush up to clean up these routs.

Li Yong did this reasonably, the cavalry division has just been formed for a short time, and there are not many decent battles, although the soldiers are very brave, but the experience and tactics need to be improved, such a unit is not suitable for fighting tough battles, the best way is to fight more small battles and train more troops, and then fight big battles after accumulating experience.

If the more than 3,000 people of this division were allowed to directly confront the 82nd Division of the Qingma Army, it would be very likely that this newly formed unit would be wiped out, and now the regiment of the 82nd Division left to cover only a few hundred people in a panic, and these 6 or 700 people were just left for the cavalry division to practice swords.

The speed of the independent regiment gradually slowed down, and the cavalry division rushed towards it from the flank, the eighty-second division of the Ma family army has not been rested recently, whether it is people and horses, the body is extremely expensive, and the cavalry division of the Ye Division has just entered the battle, so that there is a gap between the two bodies, and the Eighth Route Army is chasing closer and closer.
