Chapter 299: The Battle of Xifu: The Heart-Digging Operation

After more than half a night march, the independent regiment finally touched the vicinity of the headquarters of the Fifth Corps of the Kuomintang, looking at a large courtyard full of shadows, the soldiers rubbed their hands excitedly, everything is only owed to the east wind, if this is suddenly given to him, how enjoyable it should be, he will definitely be able to beat him crying dad and calling his mother.

Not to mention the soldiers, even the commanders of these battalions have stepped forward one by one to ask for battle, what else is there to study, just go up and do it while it's dark, who are we afraid of in the Eighth Route Army in a night battle? I'm sure I'll be able to catch a few big heads.

The fifth battalion commander He Cuihua found Li Yong again, according to what she meant, other troops are fighting big and small, and even the third battalion of the bull tendon horse Changsheng also showed his face a few days ago, and fought hard with the 82nd Division, is their fifth battalion also a sharp knife battalion this time, as long as the regimental party committee lets them go, they will definitely be able to complete the task.

After Li Yong blasted back He Cuihua, Ma Changsheng, and several other battalion commanders, he discussed with Wang Chengde and a regiment commander of the Fourth Column what methods could be used to minimize casualties.

In the end, Li Yong proposed a plan, the independent regiment first attacked from the front, as much as possible to attract the firepower of the defending troops, and then a regiment of the four columns from the back, so as to create a false impression to the defending enemy, the PLA from the front attack is a feint, the real main direction of attack is in the rear, and when the defending forces and firepower are really mobilized to other directions, the independent regiment will launch a decisive attack on the enemy from the front.

As soon as the plan was spoken, everyone nodded in agreement, including the commander of the fourth column, who also thought that this method was good and worth trying.

Before the method was said, Li Yong was worried that the people of the fourth column would not agree, and the people came with them from afar, and after making trouble for a long time, they still let them make a feint, even if the enemy's command organ was knocked out, the real credit was taken away by the independent regiment, who would want to do such a thing?

However, Li Yong still underestimated others, and it was right to grab credit, but it depended on when, and the people of the fourth column were very clear about the gap between themselves and the independent regiment in terms of combat effectiveness, and it was of course better for the independent regiment to launch the final attack, and the overall situation should be the most important thing in the war, which was a matter of consciousness.

The headquarters of the Fifth Corps of the Kuomintang is now located in a large courtyard with several courtyards, blue brick and gray tile houses, courtyard walls, and gates with iron-clad nails, and it can be seen that the owner must be a rich and noble family.

However, now these courtyard walls have been dug into shooting holes like gaps in the city wall, and some defensive facilities have been built scattered outside the large courtyard, sandbags, trenches, and pillboxes.

The best way to deal with such a target without firearms is to dig a tunnel and blast it, but now there is no time to dig any tunnels, and it will be even more difficult to fight as soon as the day dawns.

After simple preparations, the independent regiment started from the front, Li Yong used a small number of troops to contain the left and right sides, the main force was concentrated in the front, and a regiment of the fourth column quietly went around the back of this large compound.

Li Yong called Ma Changsheng, the commander of the third battalion, and He Cuihua, the commander of the fifth battalion, over: "Aren't you two always shouting for tasks?" Today the regiment will hand over the task to your two battalions, and in ten minutes launch a resolute attack on the enemy's headquarters. ”

He Cuihua and Ma Changsheng glanced at each other: "The two of them stood up together and answered, please rest assured that the chief will resolutely complete the task." ”

Li Yong: "Don't be in a hurry to answer first, I haven't finished my words yet, the task must be completed, and the attack must be resolute, but there is a condition first, heavy machine guns and mortars cannot be used for the time being, and you don't have to worry about the anti-aircraft machine guns in the regiment, when can you use them and listen to orders, can you still complete the task?" ”

Ma Changsheng and He Cuihua are a little confused, what does this mean, what weapons can be used and what weapons cannot be used in a war? And what can't be used are the most effective weapons of the troops, what does the regiment commander want to do?

couldn't figure it out, Ma Changsheng gritted his teeth, stepped forward and replied: "Report to the head of the regiment, don't use it, don't use it, when we beat the little devils in the past, don't talk about mortars and heavy machine guns, and don't even have a few light machine guns, don't you also come over, and resolutely complete the task." ”

He Cuihua, a smart girl, flashed her big eyes and wondered, what trick is this guy Dayong trying to play? However, there is no love for children on the battlefield, no matter what kind of relationship with the regiment commander in peacetime, the order must be carried out if he accepts it: "Okay, if you don't need it, you don't need it, let's go back immediately and prepare more explosives and use explosives bags to solve the problem." ”

According to Li Yong's order, the two battalions of the main attack force did not use heavy machine guns and mortars, but only used Czech and submachine guns in their hands and a small number of rifles and grenades to organize the attack.

The battle broke out all of a sudden in the depth of the Kuomintang corps, and the defensive unit was a reinforced regiment, which was the descendant of the commander Pei Changhui (of course, the guard unit of the corps commander had to use his most assured troops), known as the elite of the elite, not only full of personnel but also well-equipped, Pei Changhui also gave great care to this unit, don't look at the level of the troops, but the middle and lower officers were personally appointed by Pei Changhui himself, so this unit is very loyal to Pei Changhui, the commander, It's a hard nut to crack.

Li Yong did not tell He Cuihua and Ma Changsheng that the attack they started was a feint, and he made it clear that sometimes it was not good, but he just ordered the troops to move forward little by little, not to attack blindly, and to make full use of the power of explosives to deal with the enemy's various defensive facilities, and to blow up one more one.

The purpose of the independent regiment is to pave the way for the next attack, and the feint attack must be done the same as the real one, so that people can see at a glance what else is it called a feint?

The fighters used light fire from the short point to cover, trying to block the firing holes in the pillboxes, and the demolition team rushed forward with explosives bags under the cover of fire from behind.

The main defense facility around the headquarters of the Kuomintang Corps was a kind of pillboxes that were only about two feet above the ground, and because the altitude was very low, the bullet surface was very small, and it was difficult to block the firing space with light machine guns and submachine guns alone.

Li Yong was in a simple command post not far away, and the soldiers' attacks were clearly visible, and the sacrifice of several demolition teams in a row made his heart twitch for a while.

The sacrificed fighters can be said to be caused by his regiment commander, the independent regiment has dozens of heavy machine guns and mortars, and there is also an anti-aircraft machine gun battalion, and his regiment commander has so many weapons that he does not let them use, but he just orders the soldiers to organize an attack with small arms in their hands, and the price paid will definitely be very high.

The soldiers also don't understand why they can't use weapons, but the PLA troops have this benefit, and no one complains about why the regiment commander does this, and the regiment commander must have the intention of not letting them be used, regardless of whether there are heavy weapons or not, the task must be completed, even if they use their teeth, they must gnaw off the enemy in front of them.

Seeing the continuous casualties suffered by the troops, Li Yong was still determined to let the troops continue to attack, and at this moment, Wei Gang, the battalion commander of the gun battalion, ran in: "Regiment commander, let's go up, the casualties of the third and fifth battalions are not small, I dare not say that I can solve the problem at once, but it will definitely make their casualties much smaller." ”

Political commissar Wang Chengde was also anxious and said on the side: "Dayong, do you want them to go up?" We are too much of a loss to do such a hard job, the submachine gun will not be accurate as soon as it crosses 50 meters, the effect on blocking the enemy's fire point is too poor, the number of Czechs is not enough, and the rate of fire of the 38 cover is too slow, Wei Gang and they will definitely work when they go up. ”

Li Yong looked at the two of them and then smiled bitterly: "Do you think I'm not in a hurry?" I'm more anxious than you, but I can't help it, I have to hold on a little longer. ”

Wei Gang shouted loudly: "Why? Commander, if you have any ideas, you shouldn't be able to divulge your secrets if you say it now, so can I let my head understand it for a while? ”

Li Yong: "According to our reconnaissance in advance, the enemy's defensive strength is a reinforced regiment, this regiment is not less in personnel and weapons and equipment than us, the soldiers are very loyal, and the combat effectiveness is very strong. How long will it take to resolve the battle? We don't recognize that the casualties are too great, and if the enemy's reinforcements arrive, we won't get anything, and our own survival will be in question.

Our regiment has more than 3,000 men, and one of the enemy's regiments is also more than 3,000 people, and the defending side will definitely have a certain advantage when the strength is about the same. ”

Seeing that Wei Gang and Wang Chengde both listened to it, Li Yong continued to say: "Our advantage is that there are more than one regiment followed by a four-column team, and the strength is slightly more than that of the enemy.

Half an hour later, the men of the fourth column launched an attack, so that the enemy felt that this was our main direction of attack, and then we were giving it a guy with all our might, and trying to solve the battle in one go. ”

The headquarters of the Fifth Corps of the Kuomintang was full of panic, and the phone calls were kept ringing one after another, ***, where did this communist army come from? It can't fall from the sky, right? Hit the headquarters so quickly?

Commander Pei Changhui showed his different side from ordinary people at this time, this guy stood in front of the map and said unhurriedly: "What are you panicking about? Be calm, a little ** demeanor, the communist army is just a small force that happened to attack us, you listen, it's just some submachine guns and three-step covers, plus some Czech, with such equipment can knock out my headquarters? Hum. ”
