Chapter 408 The Rampant 203rd Division
At the temporary headquarters of the 57th Army of the Kuomintang, army commander Xu Rucheng asked a staff officer with some anger: "? Did the attacking troops go up? โ
A staff officer replied: "Commander, the brothers have rushed seven or eight times, but they have all been counterattacked by the communist army, and once they have all rushed into the communist position, but they are still stabbed back with bayonets by the communist soldiers. The fastest update speed is on the Aishang Novel Network biquge.info this book is updated from"
Xu Rucheng: "What's the matter, the communist army is hard enough, where are their roundabout troops?" โ
Officer: "We have already engaged the covering troops on our flanks, but we have a large number of fortifications built by sappers on our flanks, and the communists have launched several attacks, but to no avail. โ
Xu Rucheng, who wore white gloves on both hands, kept turning in circles in the command headquarters for more than 20 minutes, and this guy shouted as if he had made up his mind: "Order the 203rd Division, prepare for battle." โ
Xu Rucheng's order made the hearts of these staff officers tremble, and these officers understood that the time had come for the 57th Army to fight hard.
The 203rd Division is known as the youth army in the Kuomintang army, there are no old, weak, sick or disabled people in the whole division, from officers to soldiers are specially selected young men, good body, good training, good weapons, full of personnel, is the core of the 57th Army, but also the treasure and trump card of the army commander Xu Rucheng, has always been reluctant to use, so that the 203rd Division is ready for battle is to move the old capital.
After fighting with the People's Liberation Army for most of the night, the forward troops launched seven or eight group attacks in a row, with a large number of casualties, but they still did not break through the defensive line of the communist army.
The crowd of black girls, the American M1 steel helmet of Qingyi, the grass green sรจ Kaka cloth uniform, the American carbine, and more than 10,000 people of the 203rd Division stood neatly. 5. Read the latest chapter of the book
Army Commander Xu Rucheng pulled his neck in front of the team and shouted: "Brothers, don't you say every day that you will be loyal to the party-state and the leader? Isn't it shouting every day that you want to be loyal to the party and the state? Today, the time to be loyal to the party-state and the leader has come, everyone knows that we have been blocked by the communist army for most of the night, and many group attacks by the avant-garde troops have been counterattacked by the communist army, and after half an hour, I will replace the avant-garde troops, and you will launch the final attack, you are the last hope of our 57th Army, as long as we break through the defense line of the communist army, we can follow Commander Hu and withdraw to Sichuan together, and when we arrive in Sichuan, our 57th Army will still eat and drink spicy food, and still be a superior person. If we can't rush through, we have to let the communists wipe out here. โ
Xu Rucheng shouted here and paused for a while, took a few breaths and continued: "Brothers, cheer me up, don't think that our party-state must be defeated, I can tell everyone responsibly, things are not so simple, it is not certain, the national government has made Sichuan the first base of our party-state, I think the Japanese have not been able to enter Sichuan, and today's communist army is even less capable of entering Sichuan, as long as we can defend Sichuan for half a year, the world situation will have great changes, brothers, World War III is about to break out, and then our American friends will fight side by side with us, and with the full support of our American friends, what else do we have to fear? โ
Xu Rucheng is worthy of being a Whampoa graduate, and he is very incendiary when he says true or false, and there is also a set of methods for pre-war agitation, and the eyes of the soldiers of the 203rd Division also lit up.
A big officer with a long beard strode out, this guy is the commander of the 203rd Division, and he is also Xu Rucheng's cronies, he wears the same steel helmet as the soldier, carries a submachine gun in his hand, and shouts in a loud voice: "Military seat, our 57th Army has not been afraid of the Communist Army, and our 203rd Division has not been afraid of the Communist Army, you give me two hours, and if I haven't broken through the defense line of the Communist Army in two hours, I will come to see you." This book update comes from "
Xu Rucheng nodded: "Okay, I will give you the command of the artillery and tank units of the whole army, I hope you will succeed immediately, and I will wait for your good news at the military headquarters." โ
The fourth division of the second army of the People's Liberation Army repelled eight group charges of the Kuomintang 57th Army with rudimentary weapons and equipment, and firmly controlled the position, but it is undeniable that the crazy attack of the Kuomintang army also brought heavy casualties to the fourth division, and the ammunition was almost consumed.
Taking advantage of the short interval in the battle, Deputy Army Commander Chen and Division Commander Zhao inspected the position together, looked at the soldiers, the wounded, the fortifications, and the bullets.
From midnight to dawn, the Fourth Division once again suffered heavy losses, with a reduction of one-third, and this was the result of counting all the lightly wounded who could persist in the battle, otherwise the number would have been even greater, and the ammunition would have been exhausted.
The casualty of a unit of one-third means that the combat effectiveness of the unit must be reduced by at least half, and this is still a conservative estimate, if according to the infantry of the US army, the casualties of the troops reached this level can be withdrawn from the battle without asking for instructions.
Deputy Army Commander Chen is the old head of the Fourth Division, the original Fourth Brigade, the current Fourth Division was brought out by him, and the cadres and soldiers were also trained by him, and many of the soldiers who died and were wounded were known to him, and they were all old acquaintances.
In the end, it was Deputy Army Commander Chen who broke the dullness: "Lao Zhao, hurry up and prepare for battle, send the wounded down, repair the fortifications, dig more anti-artillery, I will immediately ask the army commander to let the army support some more bullets, the enemy's artillery fire will be more fierce at dawn." โ
Division Commander Zhao: "How are the Fifth and Sixth Divisions doing?" Are they making progress there? โ
Deputy Army Commander Chen understood what Division Commander Zhao meant, as long as the 5th and 6th Divisions could defeat the enemy from the flank, the pressure on the 4th Division would be immediately reduced, otherwise it would have to be nailed to the position like a nail:
"The fifth and sixth divisions are not fighting ideally, they have already been engaged in the battle, and they have not made a breakthrough until now, the army commander and political commissar are supervising them, asking them to increase the intensity of the attack, it seems that our fourth division will not be able to withdraw for a while and a half."
Division Commander Zhao: "The regular army of the Kuomintang is very good at fighting positional warfare, the troops directly under the army are equipped with a large number of engineers, and the defensive position is very strong, so it is difficult to deal with it after they stabilize their position, this 57th Army is not simple, the gun behind the butt is not panicked, it is a bit of a Kuomintang descendant, the fifth and sixth divisions are afraid that it will be difficult to break through the enemy's position in a short period of time, I will send the seriously wounded down, and the lightly wounded will stay, and use them at the end." โ
Deputy Army Commander Chen understood that Division Commander Zhao was preparing for the worst, and leaving all the lightly wounded showed that the fighters of the Fourth Division were also very nervous, and they were fighting with the wounded, and no commander was willing to do so until the last moment.
The problem is that the PLA's net rope is a little thin, and the 57th Army of the 57th Army is a bit big.
When it was time for breakfast, the cooks in the back lined up to pick up the food in baskets and put it on the battlefield, steamed buns and flatbread were made along the side, and the People's Liberation Army was no longer as hungry as it was two years ago.
Just as the soldiers were eating violently, they heard another piercing scream from the sky, and the soldiers hurriedly ran into the anti-artillery dong, scolding as they ran: "These dead goods of the Kuomintang will not let people eat even a meal, and they will not die well." โ
What made the fighters feel strange was that this time the artillery preparation was extraordinarily strong, the number of artillery pieces was a little more than the previous ones, the density of shells was greater, and there were also large-caliber heavy artillery shells in the middle.
What is even more strange is that before the artillery fire stopped, the sound of Galala's tank tracks was heard from the enemy's attacking position, and the attack of the Kuomintang troops began before the fire preparations on their own side had stopped.
The artillery preparation did not stop the infantry rushing upward, and attacking against the explosive point of the shells, the 203rd Division was really extraordinary, and it was indeed a master who dared to fight hard.
The soldiers of the Fourth Division thought that the enemy was just the same old thing, and first bombarded with artillery, and then charged with tanks and infantry.
But as soon as I caught fire with the rushing Kuomintang army, I felt that something was wrong, wearing the standard military uniforms of the Kuomintang army, and the troops attacking this time were obviously more fierce than the first few times, and the officers who led the charge at the front were all officers wearing big-brimmed hats, and the soldiers stared at the weapons in their hands as if they had fallen into an evil spirit, and they turned their bodies up.
The Kuomintang 203rd Division, which was knocked down one by one and came up again and attacked in multiple echelons, immediately made the positions of the Fourth Division feel tremendous pressure, and the battle fell into the most difficult stage.
The soldiers fought desperately with the enemy with all the weapons they could use, running out of bullets with grenades, running out of grenades with bayonets, and bending sapper shovels with bayonets, and from time to time seriously wounded people pulled grenades and died together with the Kuomintang soldiers who rushed up.
Under the desperate counterattack of the 4th Division, the first two attacks of the 203rd Division were defeated, and the retreat was retreated, but it only moved halfway back, lying on the ground and waiting for the next attack to rush upward.
