A salvo of more than 20 howitzers hidden behind the mountain by the independent regiment blew up the vicinity of Liu Kan's headquarters in a mess, and Zhang Jinsong, the commander of the reconnaissance battalion who was leading a few soldiers to indicate the target, shouted happily on the walkie-talkie.

Gao Xiang said coaxingly: "What is this, the good show is still to come, don't patronize and have fun, hurry up and show us the target and direction." ”

Zhang Jinsong hurriedly closed his big mouth, carefully observed the effect of the shelling, and then reported the various numbers to Gao Xiang on the mountain.

Gao Xiang held the microphone of the walkie-talkie on the mountain and shouted incessantly:

Far Bounce! The ruler is minus 20, the direction is 006 to the right, two shots - put!

Fork bomb! The whole battalion fired eight shots in a hurry, ready - let go!

The whole battalion shoots at enemy target No. 101! Infantry in the trenches, grenade instantaneous, short delay fuse, charge No. 4, gauge 465, directional datum shot to the left 0-20! 4 shots in a hurry, ready - put it!

The whole battalion shoots at the enemy's No. 102 target, exposes the infantry, takes the No. 101 Zhuyuan ruler plus 58, and the direction is 0-09 to the right, 4 rounds of rapid fire, prepare - put!

The artillery fire like a landslide and a sea roared the Kuomintang troops at the foot of the mountain to the point of wolf crying and screaming, crying father and mother, and the whistling sound of shells flying in the sky resounded.

Because of the accurate instructions of Zhang Jinsong's scouts, the artillery of the independent regiment was very accurate, and Liu Kan's two guard battalions were blown up in ashes as soon as possible, and the soldiers had little chance of surviving under the terrifying firepower, and the corps headquarters was completely wiped out by artillery fire, and I don't know if the lieutenant general and corps commander ran out.

The Chakou defensive battle has been fought for four days, and the independent regiment has paid a heavy price, but it has also given the enemy heavy casualties, and many cadres and soldiers have joined the party and made meritorious contributions in the line of fire.

I heard that the main force of the field army is about to surround it, and the soldiers of the artillery battalion can't stand it anymore, and a big battle is about to be over, but the howitzer, which is the main weapon of the independent regiment, is still not released.

For this, the soldiers asked the instructor who led the team to find the regiment commander Li Yong and the political commissar Wang Chengde several times to ask to participate in the battle, but each time they were rejected by the regiment commander Li Yong.

The reason of the regiment commander is still very sufficient, what are you the treasure of our regiment, the main force and trump card of our regiment, and good steel must be used on the blade.

The reason is this, but if the battle is not fired, it will be over, and what good steel should be used on the blade, and even the most powerful knife will not be used in this battle.

When they heard that there was a combat order, they all jumped up with joy, and the soldiers unbuttoned their cotton clothes, threw off their arms and fired desperately, shouting and smashing with all their might, smashing these Americans' grandsons with American shells, seeing that they were still bullying our People's Liberation Army for not having artillery.

The artillery fire was shattering, and the soldiers of the artillery battalion unbuttoned all the buttons of their cotton clothes, and some of them simply stripped off their arms, sweating profusely, and taking the shells back and forth were all small cannons, firing, firing, and firing, and exhausting all the grievances of the past few days, and smashing out more than 1,000 shells in a small effort.

The soldiers enjoyed fighting, and there had never been a situation in the Northwest Field Army where people were doing this kind of artillery shells and not asking for money, and the Northwest Field Army was so poor that the leaders of other field armies could not believe it.

The situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly, and there are many times when the fighters are delayed because of instructions, and there is no way to do it, not to mention the 105 howitzer of the independent regiment, and when the old 2nd regiment was old, the only 75 wild mountain artillery was only eight shells.

No one dared to believe that an infantry regiment had only eight rounds of mountain artillery shells, but the Northwest Field Army relied on such rudimentary weapons and equipment to deal with the main force of Hu Zongnan, the king of the northwest of the Kuomintang, for three years, and continued to grow and develop.

The regimental leader's requirement for the artillery is to be sure to hit every shot, so that the artillery is careful with every shell, and I can't wait to let the shells grow a pair of eyes, but this situation does not exist in the independent regiment, how thick the family background of the independent regiment is, and the standard of each artillery is 200 shells when setting off, which also makes the soldiers very confident, this is the artillery of our PLA.

Li Yong's requirement for the soldiers of the artillery battalion was to use the fastest speed and the most ferocious firepower to cover the enemy's key targets in the first time.

The artillery battalion, which had Zhang Jinsong as an observation post, blew up the vicinity of Liu Kan's command post in the first place, causing cars, tents, and personnel to fly up, and also causing the explosion of some ammunition.

Zhang Jinsong shouted vigorously in the walkie-talkie: "Regiment commander, Gao Xiang, this kid is too accurate, Liu Kan's command post was taken up by our artillery, I don't know if Liu Kan is dead or not, anyway, the enemy is in chaos." ”

It is said that Liu Kanzheng, commander of the 29th Army and commander of the Corps, and Yan Ming, the commander of the 90th Division, discussed the battle situation together to see what methods could be used to break through.

Yan Ming is asking Liu Kan, the commander of the garrison in Yan'an, and the commander of the 17th Division, He Wending, who sent out the support troops, to leave? Liu Kan told Yan Ming very breathlessly that He Wending, a ghost who is afraid of death, only had the strength of one brigade, and now he doesn't know where this brigade has gone, and it is estimated that it will not be fast.

Yan Ming sighed: "Hey, this He Wending, he has three divisions in his hands but only one brigade, and our party-state is ruined in the hands of such a person, if this He Wending can really go out and send all the three main divisions to join forces with us, the victory or defeat is not certain, maybe we can turn the tide of the war in one fell swoop and eliminate the Northwest Communist Army." ”

At this time, the thousands of men and horses of a brigade from Yan'an in Yan Ming's mouth were on the march, and the soldiers walked forward with big guns on their backs, and a soldier's face was long: "Brother, we dare to fight with the main force of the communist army at this point?" Who's the idea? His wife must not have raised a child. ”

Another soldier: "Brother, don't worry about this, you can see everything, can't our chief see it?" If you look at the speed of our march now, does this still look like reinforcements? What is the difference between this and sightseeing. ”

There was a jeep in the middle of the marching procession, and an officer sitting in the passenger seat said to the officer who was in the back with his eyes closed: "Brigade seat, when are we going to go?" The farther you go, the farther away you are from Yan'an, and if you run into the main force of the communist army, it will be troublesome. ”

This ** brigade commander didn't even open his eyes: "Don't worry, brother, go further, the main force of the communist army is on Liu Kan, what other communist troops can there be along the way?" At best, they are some stubborn guerrillas, although we have few people, we must be safe and sound, and we will go away after worrying, otherwise we will not be able to explain to the commanders. ”

Not too far in front of this Kuomintang infantry brigade was a hill not too high, overgrown with stones and grass, and the position of the hill was just stuck on an improvised road leading to Guò from the foot of the mountain, and some soldiers in gray military uniforms stood on the hill and pointed.

These soldiers wearing gray military uniforms were sent by Mr. Peng, the only cavalry division of the Northwest Field Army that can quickly maneuver, and there are only a few thousand people in the cavalry division, and the personnel are not more than an infantry brigade of the Kuomintang on the march, and the weapons and equipment cannot be compared.

It was very poor, and because it was a cavalry unit, the division only had some rifles and light machine guns, and the weapons that came down were grenades and sabers.

There is really no way for Mr. Peng to send this unit out to fight a positional defensive battle, the field army has no troops to adjust, and he does not expect their cavalry unit to achieve any big results, as long as it can delay the Kuomintang support forces from Yan'an for a while.

The commander of this cavalry division is very aware of the advantages and disadvantages of his troops, what the cavalry is good at is the plain field battle, and it is indeed a bit difficult for a strong man to fight positional warfare, but the first person will not talk about any conditions, as long as it is an order from the superiors, it must be completed, he changed the soldiers of a regiment from cavalry to infantry and arranged them on the mountain, and arranged the remaining two cavalry regiments behind the mountain, ready to give the Kuomintang troops a ruthless blow from both sides after the battle started.

Seeing the approaching Kuomintang soldiers through the binoculars, the commander said to the people around him: "I really let Mr. Peng say it right, it seems that He Wending, a death-afraid ghost, has only dispatched one brigade, so that we have the bottom in our hearts and order the troops to prepare for battle." ”

The rickety Kuomintang infantry brigade gradually got closer and closer, and when the soldiers of this brigade completely walked down the mountain, there was a sudden burst of gunfire on the mountain, and bullets and grenades rained down, and the Kuomintang soldiers on the march were not prepared at all. ”

This ** brigade commander was frightened by this attack and broke out in a cold sweat, but this guy was also a little distracted, judging from the firepower on the mountain, although he was not a guerrilla, the firepower was not very good, and there should be room for maneuver.

This guy asked his men to occupy the high ground around and see what was going on. The commander of the Eighth Route Army on the mountain also saw the thoughts of this ** brigade commander, it is not possible to let the enemy occupy the commanding heights, it is easy to fight the battle into a stalemate situation where no one can subdue anyone, and the commander of the Eighth Route Army decisively ordered the two cavalry regiments of Yamate to attack and give him a look from the flank.
