Chapter 513: Zhan Lanzhou's Great Might

At the same time that the artillery fire extended and the infantry began to charge, the covering fire of the ** brigade opened fire, Li Yong concentrated the heavy machine guns and mortars of all five infantry battalions, plus the anti-aircraft machine gun battalion pulled up in formation, nearly 200 heavy machine guns and more than 100 mortars formed a powerful rear support force to suppress the fire of the defending troops of the Qingma Army.

This formation is the reason why Li Yongyu said big things in front of many senior commanders in the headquarters of the Sixth Army, there is no joke in the army, and what he says is to be guaranteed by strength, Li Yong has full confidence in his ** brigade, and it is simply unreasonable for such a strong lineup to break down Lanzhou City.

Dozens of roaring tanks swooped down under the wide walls of Lanzhou City, and the vehicle-mounted machine guns on the tanks fired at the opposing Qingma Army as they marched, and the bullets fired from the various fortifications hit the steel deck of the tanks and then slid away.

The tank attack detachment with several vehicles in a group was very effective in blocking the bullets from the counterattack of the Green Horse Army, and the light and heavy machine guns could not break through the defenses of the armored troops, and the light weapons in the hands of the infantry could not pose a threat to the tanks at all, which gave great encouragement to the infantry of the ** brigade who followed behind.

The battle reached the most critical and fierce Cheng dù, the defending troops of the Qingma Army tried their best to counterattack the PLA troops back, while the soldiers of the ** brigade tried to charge forward, trying to capture the south gate of Lanzhou in one fell swoop.

** The covering fire of the brigade flew the bricks and stones at the head of Lanzhou City, the bullets of the heavy machine guns and anti-aircraft machine guns that concentrated the fire firmly controlled the defensive section of the entire city, and the mortar shells like heavy rain blew up the follow-up second echelon of the Qingma Army without a foothold, and the tank detachment covered the infantry to quickly assault forward, and with the strong fire support of the rear, the infantry of the first and second battalions quickly approached the city wall.

The commander of the Qingma Army and the soldiers shot outward in the fortifications like crazy, and seeing the troops of the People's Liberation Army gradually approaching, they were psychologically nervous and about to collapse, but no matter how they counterattacked, because of the huge gap in equipment with the ** brigade, they did not achieve great results.

Bullets are like locusts, shrapnel flies indiscriminately, and the soldiers of the ** brigade who rushed forward ignored it, followed the back of the tank and ran forward, everyone had only one thought, closer, just a little closer.

In order to push the five guns up, the clothes of the soldiers pushing the guns have been soaked with sweat, and their bodies have been consumed to the extreme, and when they are panting, they feel that their throats and eyes are hot, and the whirring and wheezing sound is the same as pulling the bellows, which is the expression of the lack of water in the body, but none of the soldiers stopped to drink saliva, and the platoon commander who led the team shouted hoarsely in his throat, even if he is tired, he must push the cannon up, and he must keep up with the tanks and infantry.

Li Yong kept looking at the attacking soldiers in the back, and the artillerymen in the telescope kept pushing the artillery forward, seeing that it was getting closer and closer to the city wall, Gao Xiang, the artillery battalion commander who was close to him, scolded his mother anxiously: "Damn, these bastards, they can't push forward anymore, and if they push again, they will be finished with the enemy." ”

Gao Xiang's anxiety was justified, it was already a very dangerous task to use large-caliber artillery to directly aim at the city wall, and it was very likely that the soldiers and artillery would be finished together with the city wall to be attacked if they were too close.

"Hey, hey, how far are you from the city wall, report the distance, can't be too close, do you hear me?" Like the old Balu Gao Xiang, who was known for daring to fight hard, he hurriedly shouted his soldiers with a walkie-talkie.

The platoon commander who led the team was a veteran, and when he set off, Gao Xiang specially equipped them with a wireless walkie-talkie, so that they could contact the battalion headquarters at any time, but at this time, the old platoon commander seemed to have not heard his battalion commander shouting, and ordered the soldiers to continue to move forward.

Pushed all the way to a distance of less than a hundred meters from the city wall, the nose and mouth of the soldiers of the Green Horse Army could be seen clearly from the distance.

The Eighth Road didn't want to die, and pushed all five cannons under the city wall, and the soldiers of the Qingma Army on the opposite side understood it, but they were also a little stupid, and they dared to fire at such a close distance? Isn't this going to be fucking all together?

The old platoon commander of the artillery battalion of this ** brigade does not think so, this old platoon commander believes that if you want to open Lanzhou City, you must blow up the city wall, and the brigade commander and political commissar pin a large part of the hope of blowing up the city wall on their artillery.

The old soldiers knew the weight on their shoulders, and if their artillery could not blow up the city wall, they would have to send ** upwards with infantry, so that the losses of the first and second battalions would increase sharply, so their artillery would complete the task even if they fought hard, and they must blast the city wall.

The 150 plus howitzer has a bulletproof plate, but because the distance is too close, and the area of the bulletproof plate is limited, it is impossible to stop the enemy's bullets, and the soldiers under the rain of bullets fell down one after another.

The commander of the Green Horse Army at the head of the city was red-eyed, and forced his soldiers to shoot outside with the barrel of his gun, concentrating their firepower on the artillery of the Eighth Route Army, and both the enemy and our army understood it, and if the artillery death squad of the Eighth Route Army was not knocked out, the city wall would be in danger.

"Intensify your firepower and cover them." This sentence was shouted by brigade commander Li Yong, battalion commander Gao Xiang of the artillery battalion, battalion commanders Li Jiangguo and Ma Quanyou of the first and second battalions, as well as battalion commander Jiang Tiexiong and instructor Li Yuming of the tank battalion.

The soldiers are too close to the city wall, and the heavy howitzers of the ** brigade are no longer able to carry out fire support, but mortars and heavy machine guns are okay, all the firepower is providing support for the artillery under the city wall, all the weapons are firing violently, even the infantry of the first and second battalions are anxious to fire at the enemy on the city head with submachine guns, and the battalion commander Jiang Tiexiong and instructor Li Yuming of the tank battalion use tank guns to shoot at close range at the fire point of the Qingma Army.

The role of armored troops in the siege of the city is very obvious, the Qingma Army has no experience in fighting tanks, and the troops are not equipped with anti-tank weapons, and it is estimated that they do not want to be equipped, which gives the tank battalion the opportunity to give full play, Li Yuming, who was already annoyed that he did not fight, was eager to drive the tank to the city wall, and was even more angry after seeing the casualties of the artillery behind them, and commanded the soldiers to support with tank guns.

**The tank battalion of the brigade has dozens of tanks, but there are only four M4 equipped with 75 mm tank guns, and the rest of the tank guns are more than 30 and 40 calibers (Stuart is three or seven guns, T26 is four or five guns), such caliber tank guns have no threat to the tall city walls of Lanzhou, but they are enough to hit infantry and fire points.

The artillery and machine guns on dozens of tanks were firing, and the tanks striking at the infantry and the points of fire without the threat of anti-tank fire were as trouble-free and simple as digging turnips.

With the full support of their comrades-in-arms, the artillerymen who pushed the artillery not too far from the city wall quickly adjusted their gun positions, shook the muzzle of the gun, and there was no need to aim, under the command of the old platoon commander, the five guns were lined up, and the black muzzle pointed to the city wall.

The timid soldiers of the Qingma Army can no longer bear the psychological fear, throw away their weapons and run away, ***, the artillery of the People's Liberation Army is pushed under the nose, and if you don't run away, your life will be over, and the threat of the commander is not as powerful as the artillery.

Pulling the bolt of the gun, pushing the bullet to load, under the order of the old platoon commander to open the cannon, the five guns fired together, and the spinning projectile shot out of the muzzle, hitting the city wall in a very short time, and then there was a loud and violent explosion.

Using large-caliber artillery to bombard the city wall at close range, this is the old Eighth Road style of play, from the infantry has just changed to a short time of artillery in the battle is still used to like the infantry as far forward as possible, and the enemy is hand-to-hand combat, so for a long time, the soldiers call this way of fighting to the cannon bayonet.

It is very dangerous to shoot with large-caliber artillery at a distance of less than a hundred meters, and it is very likely that the attack will end up with the attacked side, but the effect is also surprisingly good, the 150 plus howitzer shows its might, and the first round of bombardment will blow up the city wall in a mess, and the soldiers of the Qingma Army who have not had time to run on the city wall are either killed or shocked to death, and the defensive fire stops at once.

Bricks and tiles flew in unison, shrapnel hit the steel plates, and the soldiers who operated the guns dug a small pit half a man deep with sapper shovels next to their gun emplacements.

The method is very simple, but it is very effective, this is also what the soldiers came up with in advance, after they are ready, one person is responsible for firing, and the other soldiers are squatting in the pit to defend against artillery, so although it is very close to the city wall, the ears of the soldiers are buzzing, but surprisingly there are no casualties.

The lack of casualties after a salvo gave the fighters more confidence, and soon, the second and third rounds of artillery fire were fired.

The order given by the brigade commander Li Yong was not to spare the ammunition, and to finish all the shells in the shortest possible time, as long as it could blow a hole in the city wall, it would be worth it.

Reloaded, fired, and bombarded the walls, each cannon draining out more than forty shells in the smoke of gunpowder.

More than 200 shells, is the first brigade of all the home, in the smoke does not know whether the city wall has been blown up, anyway, the family is gone, there is no artillery can only be stared at the eyes of the low-eyed, the soldiers asked their platoon commander, there are no shells, what should I do?

What to do? Who knows what to do, but this old platoon commander is more daring than a gourd, and his eyes rolled and said, "Follow me to the front and have a look." ”q
