Chapter 430: Defend Xianyang's perseverance and do not retreat

In order to strengthen the defense system of the main city, the 181st Division of the People's Liberation Army set up several peripheral positions outside the city, relying on the tall city wall, with its back to the city wall, fighting to the death, and the Ma Jiajun must first capture the peripheral positions of the People's Liberation Army if they want to take Xianyang, so both sides of the attack and defense have done their best on many positions outside the city, and the scene is extremely tragic. (The first text is published in the reading room biquge.info)

The sudden arrival of a large number of ploughing cattle completely destroyed the mines laid in the forward positions of the PLA, and the soldiers rushed up with their heels under the cover of the cattle.

The measures of the 82nd Army somewhat caught the soldiers off guard, and I have to say that the commander of the Ma Jiajun was still very clever in this hand, not only did the mines laid by the PLA not play an effective role, but even the bullets shot were blocked by the running and skewering of ploughing oxen, which gave the fast cavalry the opportunity to rush to the near place, and when it came close, it was a life-and-death white-knives fight.

White-knuckle warfare is the most cruel method of warfare, and it is also a kind of fighting style that Ma Jiajun and the People's Liberation Army both prefer, both sides of the battle have played a real fire, Ma Jiajun relies on the superiority in numbers to swell upwards one by one, and the position of the People's Liberation Army can be easily abandoned, each small position has changed hands several times, and the Ma Jiajun has just captured it and was counterattacked by the reserve forces of the People's Liberation Army.

When the People's Liberation Army fights positional defensive warfare, it must leave at least one-third of its troops as reserves, which is a good habit honed after years of hard fighting, and it is also a lesson in exchange for blood and life, so don't look at the few troops outside the city, but each position has a little reserve force, which makes the originally cruel battle more and more intense, and the corpses of the dead soldiers of the two armies are spread all over the outside of Xianyang City.

The characteristics of the cavalry of the Ma family army are fast speed, the soldier's will to fight is tenacious, and the offensive is very crazy when fighting, the disadvantage is that the weapons and equipment are too poor, and there is no experience in attacking the city, so the Ma family army likes to play close combat, which is actually similar to the old Eighth Road and the Red Army back then, the equipment is not good, there is no way to force, and the saber of the cavalry will not be able to exert its power if it does not rush to the vicinity, and once such an enemy rushes to the front, it is very dangerous.

The troops of the People's Liberation Army in the city took advantage of the city wall to condescendingly support the positions outside the city with firepower, and the dense rain of bullets caused the soldiers of the Ma Jiajun to charge with heavy casualties, and the dead bodies were one after another, which is the advantage of having the city wall as a support, and can form a cross-fire with the ground troops.

The 82nd Army of Ma Jiajun was different from other troops, and this army was replaced by Ma Jiyuan, a warlord

For human reasons, an additional heavy artillery battalion was deployed, and this heavy artillery unit played a much greater combat effectiveness than the cavalry in the urban fortification operation.

Several successive attacks were fought back, the shock troops not only did not achieve any effect but suffered casualties, the situation at the scene made Ma Jiyuan angry, this guy pointed to the city wall of Xianyang and ordered his artillery troops to use all means to blow up the position of the People's Liberation Army, and then change the cavalry into infantry to launch a decisive attack on Xianyang.

The scale of the heavy artillery battalion of the 82nd Army is much larger than that of ordinary battalion-level troops, and there are dozens of artillery pieces of various calibers, large and small, and these family backgrounds are specially asked from Chiang Kai-shek by Ma Bufang for the sake of his precious son to establish prestige, and I think that the Qingma Army also paid a considerable price for this heavy artillery unit back then.

Chiang Kai-shek's consistent policy toward the army of the Second Horse in the northwest has always been to fight and pull in and out, not only to rely on them to rule the northwest region, but also to prevent their power from being too large, so the management of the weapons and equipment of the army of the Second Horse Army is very strict, and there are no extremely special circumstances that they will not be supplied, and everything that the Ma army needs must be solved by themselves.

Ma Bufang really wants his eldest son Ma Jiyuan to take over his class, but there must be a condition for his succession, that is, Ma Jiyuan must establish a certain prestige in the troops of the Qingma Army, so as not to mess with each other in the future, Ma Bufang also understands the truth of power in the barrel of the gun.

This is the reason why the 82nd Army of the Ma Family Army, which is not rich, has such a heavy artillery unit than other second horse troops.

The fierce artillery fire blew up the position of the 181st Division of the People's Liberation Army (PLA), and it was impossible for the position that had been built up in a few hours to have a large number of anti-artillery holes, and this was because Wang Qingshan's reconnaissance detachment had dragged the enemy back for several hours, otherwise there would have been no time to dig any fortifications.

What to do in the face of enemy shells? There was no way, and he couldn't retreat, so he had to stiffen up, and after the shelling, there was a crazy charge, and the sabre in the hands of the soldiers of the Ma family army was shining against Yangguan, and the soldiers shouted and rushed upwards with a killing sound.

Ma Bufang, the army of the local warlord, is also very distinctive, every time he fights, he tries to suppress the opponent's momentum, and first defeats the opponent psychologically, so when he charges, the soldiers must shout out, the louder the better, in Ma Bufang's words, if you can't die, you must scare the opponent to death.

But once it was obvious that they were wrong, the People's Liberation Army was not only not frightened by Ma Jiajun, who was shouting about killing, but was aroused full of anger, and the soldiers scolded one after another: "Why, dare to play this game with our People's Liberation Army, what is the difference between this and playing with an axe in front of Luban?" It's purely looking for death. ”

The fighters got up from the fortifications that had been blown up by the shells, checked the casualties, checked the weapons and ammunition, and stood ready for the next enemy attack.

The army of the two horses in the northwest dares to fight hard when fighting, this is their strength, but then again, it depends on who they compare with, compared with other Kuomintang troops This is their strength, compared with the People's Liberation Army is not their strength, the 181st Division is the old bone unit of the People's Liberation Army, and the tenacious will to fight has always been the heirloom of this army, they dare to face any murderous enemy, dare to trample on any invading enemy under their feet, and compare with such an army, Ma Jiajun is not an opponent.

The soldiers on the position fought desperately with the enemy with the only qiē weapons they could in their hands, and they would never give up if there was one person in each position, so that the Ma Jiajun would have to pay a considerable price if they wanted to occupy a small position outside Xianyang City.

The battle lasted from noon to night, and under the frantic attack of the 82nd Army of the Kuomintang, most of the positions of the 181st Division outside the city were lost, and all the officers and men of the 181st Division on the positions were killed.

When it was dark, there was only one Wujiabao position in the hands of the 181st Division outside the city, and it was a reinforced platoon of the third company of a certain unit of the 181st Division that was responsible for defending this small position, and the commander of the unit was Zheng Guojun, the instructor of this company.

Defending outside the city with rudimentary fortifications is a life-threatening task, and it is likely that this is the time of glory.

If the enemy wants to attack the main position in Xianyang, he must first take the small position on the periphery, so it is much more dangerous outside than on the main position, this is the truth that everyone understands, since they all know the danger, who will defend this position? Who will guard it?

The method of the third company was to use a platoon with the strongest combat effectiveness as the backbone, and then strengthen a part of the best party members in the whole company, and the company instructor Zheng Guojun led the team to carry out defensive operations on this position.

During the war, the political staff were very remarkable, not only did they have to do a lot of ideological work for the soldiers, but they also had to command the battle like the company commander, and they also served as the captain of the commando or sharp knife unit at critical times.

The reason for the PLA troops to do this is that the most dangerous tasks are for party members to do, and the most likely to be sacrificed are for party members to do, and they are afraid of death and do not join the party.

The political staff of a unit is the soul of the unit, especially in the early Red Army period, the top commander of the unit was not a division or brigade commander, but a political commissar or party representative, who was the highest leader of the unit and a part of the people with the highest probability of death.

(Before the Wannan incident, the commander of the New Fourth Army was Ye Ting, but the actual person in charge was Xiang Ying, the party representative, and Xiang Ying's military command talent could not be compared with Ye Ting, which was also an important reason why the New Fourth Army chose the wrong route to break out.

The commando or sharp knife unit is also called the death squad, the instructor leads the commando when the company-level unit is attacking, and the instructor leads the commando team when the battalion-level unit is attacking, which is a very common phenomenon in the PLA troops, and it is also a very common practice, so the proportion of casualties among the political workers at the grassroots level in the battle is very large, and they are wounded or sacrificed in almost every battle.

(After the liberation, it gradually transitioned to the commando led by the deputy company commander or deputy battalion commander, and the deputy company commander or deputy battalion commander was a natural death captain in wartime, which is all a later story.) ）

A reinforced platoon of more than 50 people, with five Czech-type guns and a large number of submachine guns, in order to increase their firepower, before departure, the company commander reinforced them with the only Maxim in the whole company.

The fierce battle lasted from morning to night, and in the face of the enemy's tidal attack, instructor Zheng Guojun led the whole platoon of soldiers to hold on and not retreat, and by the time it was dark, he had repelled nine attacks by Ma Jiajun, and the barrels of each machine gun were all red, and the five boxes of bullets of the water-cooled Makqin heavy machine gun, which was the most important firepower in the platoon, had been exhausted, and the dead bodies and dead horses had stretched from 30 meters to 200 meters away in front of their positions, and the howls of the wounded soldiers were heart-rending.

Instructor Zheng Guojun shouted to his soldiers: "Comrades, save ammunition, fire again when you see it, take out all the grenades, go up to the two combat groups, and take advantage of the darkness to bury a few more grenades from the front fifty meters away, Lao Tzu doesn't believe that their Ma Jiajun still has so many cattle to help them attack." ”

The soldiers replied to him with a grin: "Instructor, it's okay to bury the grenade as a mine, I want to cut some meat from the dead cow and come back?" We haven't eaten dinner yet. ”

Zheng Guojun: "As long as you bury the grenade, you can do anything, but even if you kid gets back the dead beef, you can only eat it raw, and the ignition can't do it, the enemy has artillery, pay attention to the fire cover, on." ”

The above article is based on the real historical events of Zheng Guojun, a combat hero of the 181st Division of the 61st Army of the Chinese People's Liberation Army and an instructor of the third company of a certain unit, Long live the invincible Chinese People's Liberation Army.
