Chapter 433 Fierce battle outside Xianyang City

In order to ensure that the main city fortifications of Xianyang would not be breached, as soon as it was dark, Wang Chenghan, commander of the 181st Division of the People's Liberation Army, organized troops to launch a counterattack against the Ma Jiajun outside the city. (The fastest update speed is on the Aishang Novel Network biquge.info)

Commander Wang Chenghan's intention was obvious, if he wanted to hold Xianyang, he had to recapture the defensive positions outside the city that had been lost during the day, otherwise it would be very dangerous once one of the main positions was broken through, and it would be very unwise to fight street battles in the city when the number of people was several times different from the enemy.

A small group of soldiers climbed out little by little along the gap in the position, with the help of the cover of the night gradually approached the Ma Jiajun outside the city, and so close to the distance that the grenades could get up and throw grenades together, a large number of grenades rained down from the sky, the fierce battle broke out again in the dark night, the explosion of gunfire and grenades continued in the night, the fire reflected the red outside the city of Xianyang, the troops of the People's Liberation Army rushed out of the city to rely on the firepower on the city wall, Pounce on the positions lost during the day.

Night combat is the PLA's forte, and the soldiers are also very accustomed to carrying out all kinds of combat activities on a slightly moonlit night, and they are extremely skilled in various tactical actions and means such as leaping forward, covering, and attacking, so the battle has just begun more than half an hour, and the positions lost during the day have been recaptured several times in a row, and the attacking troops have made rapid progress.

Outside Xianyang City, at the military headquarters of the 82nd Army of the Kuomintang, an officer hurriedly ran in: "Army-military seat, military seat, communist army-communist army has come out of the city." ”

Ma Jiyuan, who had shaved the skin of the green brain, frowned: "What are you panicking about?" Are you kid scared out of the Communist army? Something to say slowly. ”

The officer took a few breaths of air: "Military seat, the communist army drilled out countless small units from the city, and it was not until they touched a dozen meters away from us that they suddenly opened fire, and the brothers were caught off guard, and the positions we occupied during the day were robbed by the communist army in several places. ”

Ma Jiyuan was furious: "It's all *** a bunch of waste, what's so terrible about the communist army rushing out, isn't it okay to beat them back, inform the officers above the platoon, whoever loses the position is responsible for getting it back, otherwise they will all be shot." ”

The officer who came back to report the news replied cowardly: "But, but the military seat, most of the officers we have lost our positions have been killed, and the brothers have suffered too many casualties. ”

Ma Jiyuan: "If the casualties are large, we have large casualties, so aren't the casualties of the communist army large?" They are not immortals who cannot be killed, and they order the troops to rush forward at any cost. ”

An officer beside Ma Jiyuan said: "Military seat, the communist army is very good at fighting night battles, and the soldiers and officers of the communist army claim to be the ancestors of night battles, and night combat is not our forte, let's avoid its edge for the time being, wait for dawn and then fight a decisive battle with the communist army." ”

"No, we used a large number of ploughing cattle during the day to advance the troops to the city, if these positions outside the city are recaptured by the communist army, our efforts will be in vain, and thousands of brothers will be in vain, we must rush forward."

After Ma Jiyuan gave the death order, the Qingma Army rushed out of the city with the PLA troops to seize the position like crazy, and Ma Jiyuan's intention was also obvious, we must ensure that a few nails are planted very close to the main city fortifications of the PLA, and a foothold can be established, so as to launch a general attack on Xianyang at dawn.

The battle became more and more brutal, both sides of the enemy and us fought for the first hand, several small positions outside the city became the focus of contention, the troops of the 181st Division of the People's Liberation Army out of the city continued to pour out, and the 82nd Army of the Ma Jiajun also continued to increase its strength under the insistence of Ma Jiyuan, so that the general attack that should have been launched at dawn was a bit of a taste of coming in advance, and the scale of the battle continued to expand.

These Kuomintang local troops from the Qinghai area in the northwest had no explosives, no special artillery for attacking the city, and no experience in civil work like the People's Liberation Army.

In the dark night, the fire outside Xianyang City was blazing, and with the flash of the firelight, countless human ladders stood up from under the city, and the twisted human body struggled to climb up.

The soldiers of the 181st Division, taking advantage of their geographical advantages, condescendingly threw bundles of grenades down on the city wall, and in the loud explosion, a personal ladder collapsed, and these soldiers, who were accustomed to riding war horses, immediately fell in groups and piles under the city wall, and the piled corpses were stacked up nearly one meter high under the city wall.

Corpses, blood, all kinds of broken guns and ammunition were everywhere outside the entire Xianyang City, and Ma Jiyuan, who was dizzy by the increasing casualties of his subordinates, was annoyed and ashamed, and this guy shouted in the command headquarters: "What is *** going to launch an attack at dawn, I decided, just tonight, right now, the general attack has begun, officers at all levels must take the lead in the charge, and the timid and frightened brigade will be shot, and the corpses will be heaped to take Xianyang." ”

Ma Jiajun attacked wave after wave of attacks, and there was no tactic or effective way to deal with the city wall, just knowing how to rush up with one force, and then climb up with a human ladder.

The commanders and fighters of the 181st Division placed on the city wall had no difficulty in dealing with such a stupid attack, and all kinds of firepower fired fiercely at the soldiers of the Ma Jiajun who rushed over, and the bullets fired out of the fire were woven into a dark red fire net at night, and when the soldiers of the Ma Jiajun who came out of the fire net rushed to the city wall, the soldiers greeted them with grenades, and the ladder that they set up was reimbursed by several grenades.

Explosions, shrapnel, explosions, shrapnel, swarms of grenades kept falling from the city walls, shrapnel cut through the air, cut human bodies and then embedded in the city walls, red flesh and white brains collapsed on the ancient city wall of Xianyang, a thousand-year-old city.

The fierce battle lasted for several hours in the night, the night became darker and darker, and the scale of the battle continued to expand, Ma Jiajun tried his best to fight with the People's Liberation Army defending the city, the personnel of the 181st Division were only a fraction of Ma Jiajun's, and it was also a tired division, but the 82nd Army of Ma Ji's reinforcement was extremely unsuitable for night battles and urban offensive and defensive operations, which caused the two armies to stalemate together under Xianyang City, and neither side completely defeated the opponent's strength.

In the headquarters of the Kuomintang Central Army, not too far from Xianyang, several horse lanterns burning kerosene were hung in the grass-green tent, and the white flames reflected the tent brightly, and a large group of officers were lying on the military map spread on the table and discussing something.

This is the front-line headquarters of the Central Army behind the 82nd Army of the Ma Jiajun, and the Central Army is behind the butt of the Majia Army on the first line of Xianyang is an attack corps composed of more than 50,000 people from two armies.

An officer said while looking at the map: "Commander, the Ma Jiajun and the communist army have been fighting in Xianyang for a day and half a night, and the casualties on both sides are not small, according to our intelligence, the Ma Jiajun has no experience in dealing with the communist army's urban defense operations, and is now entangled with the communist army under the city, and it seems that it will not be able to attack for a while and a half." ”

Another officer said, "Hmph, even these horse bandit-born fools want to fight a regular urban offensive and defensive war?" It's almost the same to go around robbing the common people, hmph, this time you know what it's like to cut a saber on the city wall. ”

None of the officers who looked at the map spoke, including the officer who was called the commander, and the Ma Jiajun really didn't know how to fight urban offensive and defensive battles, but what about them? Isn't it also that he was chased around by the People's Liberation Army, and even Xi'an was lost, so what face did he have to say that the Ma Jiajun would not fight?

The dull atmosphere lasted for a while, and an officer said: "Commander, see if we go over to reinforce us, we are only a few dozen kilometers away from Xianyang, that is, it will be a few hours away, the communist defense force must be very tired, we are very likely to take Xianyang down as soon as we press it, don't look at their Ma Jiajun for so long, but most of the credit for attacking Xianyang is ours." ”

The eyes of the officers were on the commander of the Kuomintang front-line corps, this is indeed a good idea, and it is also a good way, it will be easy to get started when the communist army is very tired, but this commander did not rise up as these officers imagined, and loudly gave them any order to attack, but stood there without saying a word, for a long time, the officer sighed: "Commander Hu let us stand still, let them Ma Jiajun toss." ”

The commander's words puzzled these officers, and the officer who had made the idea before asked: "Commander, how can you take Xianyang without reinforcing the Ma family's army, and how can you recover Xi'an if you don't take Xianyang?" ”

This question is also in the minds of the officers here, and it is clearly a great opportunity, so why not rush forward? This opportunity has been given up, how can you compete with the communist army?

Seeing that everyone's eyes were looking at him, the commander sighed again: "Don't look at me like this, I also just received the order of Chief Hu, and there is a sentence in the last sentence of Chief Hu's order, I didn't want to say it to you, but it seems that I can't say it today." ”

The commander said slowly: "Commander Hu said that the principal still respects him because he still has the army in his hands. ”

One sentence said so that everyone seems to understand something, these people are old fritters who have been rolling in the officialdom for more than ten years and twenty years, and they know some things but they can't say it, in the Kuomintang army, it seems that strength is the first priority, whoever has greater strength will have a greater official position, don't look at Hu Zongnan is Chiang Kai-shek's cronies and good students, once the army is gone, it is nothing, so the sentence 'The principal still values me because I still have the army in my hands' is indeed Hu Zongnan's current psychological words.
