To the east of Baoji, near the county seat of Qishan, in the position of the Fourth Column of the Northwest Field Army, the smoke of gunpowder was filled, shrapnel was flying horizontally, shells of various calibers rained down, and the craters in the ground were one after another, and the big ones were covered with small ones, densely packed.

In a command headquarters of an inexplicable level, a young soldier who was only about sixteen or seventeen years old was throwing soybeans into a large bowl to calculate the density of the shells.

A commander came over and looked at the little soldier's big bowl: "Okay, don't bother with this stupidity, the Kuomintang has money, it doesn't matter how many shells you shoot, it's useless for us if it's dense or not, we have to resist as many shells as we want." ”

The soldier put away the big bowl in front of him, put the soybeans in the bowl into his military uniform pocket, and muttered: "It would be good if we had so many cannons at some time, and let the Kuomintang taste the taste of our shells." ”

The commander next to him smiled and said: "Don't worry, the time is not far away, don't look at our current equipment is worse than the enemy, but it is much better than more than a year ago, one day, the weapons in the enemy's hands will be ours." ”

On the front-line positions, the fighters squatted in the anti-artillery holes on the slope of the trenches, pressed the brims of their hats low, put up the collars of their clothes, and plugged their ears with their hands.

But this didn't work, a soldier said to a veteran with a little annoyance: "Squad leader, the Kuomintang's artillery bombardment is not over yet, my clothes are full of dirt, even on my belly, and I am about to fill it up." ”

The squad leader sat on a backpack, with a submachine gun lying horizontally on his thigh, leaning against the wall of the anti-artillery hole, his eyes were half-open and half-closed, and he was holding a half-smoked cigarette butt in his hand.

"What's wrong? Feeling uncomfortable? What is this, it is better to pour some soil face than to let the shells blow up, many of the artillery fire attacked by the Kuomintang are large-caliber howitzers, and it is okay for a small concealed unit like our class to resist one shot, if you come with two shots in a row, you and I will not go back. ”

Soldier: "Squad leader, how do you know that there are large-caliber grenades in the shells?" You didn't go out and you didn't even open your eyes? Did you bluff me? ”

Squad leader: "Say you're a rookie, you're still unconvinced, can you go outside to see this?" At this time, go out, you have to lose three heads, as for whether there are large-caliber grenades, just listen to the sound of explosions, sit still, keep your spirits, as soon as the enemy's shelling has passed, the infantry will start to charge. ”

Not long after the old squad leader's words passed, as if to verify his words, the artillery fire of the Kuomintang attack gradually extended backwards.

The squad leader looked at his own fighters in the concealment department, threw the cigarette butts in his hand, and shouted: "All of them have - fighting." With that, the first one strung out of the concealment department.

The squad leader looked at him and said in a hurried accent: "Follow me, lower your posture, and be careful not to let the muzzle of the gun block the soil." ”

The two of them lowered their heads along the trench, ran out for dozens of meters, came to the forefront position, and lay on the trench.

Although it was broad daylight, the gray smoke formed by the Kuomintang attack artillery fire obscured the sun, and the vision was very bad, and nothing could be seen from a distance.

"Squad leader, listen, what is this movement?" The squad leader stopped the soldier's questioning with his hand, and planted one ear to listen carefully to the somewhat strange sound coming from a distance.

Gradually, a gust of north wind blew, the smoke from the shells dissipated, and the soldiers' vision became clearer, only to see a dozen strange things driving from a distance, this thing stretched out a long cannon tube, like a turtle sticking out its neck, and following this iron turtle was a group of infantry of the Kuomintang Fifth Corps wearing yellow uniforms.

One of the dozen or so iron turtles drove straight towards the defensive position of the squad, and the new soldier asked a little curiously, "Squad leader, what is this?" ”

The squad leader didn't have time to pay attention to the soldier's questioning, and yelled: "Deputy squad leader, the two of us will lead a combat team and destroy this king from both sides." ”

After hearing the deputy squad leader's promise, the old soldier untied the grenades from his body, tied them together in three bundles with strips of cloth, and made a hook out of the iron wire in his satchel and tied them to this bundle of grenades.

The squad leader explained to the new fighters while doing this: "Haven't you heard that the enemy has tanks? That's it, wait a while and get closer, I and the deputy squad leader went up and blew it up, pay attention to my movements, the enemy's tank has a machine gun on it, and the front is hard to find death. ”

There is a high-level dual-purpose machine gun on the top of the turret of the tank, but this configuration is not available in every model of tank, in contrast, the Soviet-style tank is more configured like this, and the biggest threat to the infantry is the side-by-side machine gun built in the tank, but the side-by-side machine gun also has its own defects, and the direction of the machine gun can only be rotated with the turret, and other places are its shooting dead ends

The "Gala, Gala, Gala" tanks were getting closer and closer, and from time to time they paused (old tanks, without two-way stabilization devices, unable to shoot while moving), and fired a shot from the long muzzle in the direction of the position.

The squad leader scolded while watching: "I made you arrogant, and Lao Tzu will overturn you in a while." ”

When the tank was less than a hundred meters away from the position held by the soldiers of this squad, the old soldier handed the submachine gun in his hand to the new soldier: "Fight the infantry behind the tank and cover us." He glanced at the deputy squad leader who was not far from him and shouted, "Action." ”

A combat group of two fighters, each with a bundle of cluster grenades, jumped out of their positions and made a detour from the sides towards the tank.

At the same time that the fighters of this squad launched an attack on the tanks, several demolition teams were also strung out from the various defensive positions of the fourth column at the same time, with the obvious intention that there was no way to hold the positions without blowing up the tanks.

If the front-line infantry is equipped with anti-tank equipment such as the 82 Rear Artillery and the 40 rocket launcher, with the combat effectiveness of the soldiers of the old Eighth Route Army, there will be no suspense in fighting these tanks.

But now it is different, the Northwest Field Army is the poorly equipped unit of the People's Liberation Army, not to mention any anti-tank equipment, even the most primitive explosives are very precious, not to mention any 40 fire and 82 nothing.

At this time, the only way to blow up these tanks was to rely on the soldiers' tenacious will to fight and their fearless dedication.

At the same time as the demolition team rushed forward, the Kuomintang infantry who followed the tank also saw this scene, and they shouted and fired at the demolition team that rushed over to blow up the tank.

The people who rushed up to blow up the tanks were all very experienced veterans of the Fourth Column, and most of them were squad leaders and deputy squad leaders in various combat squads, the most basic combat backbones, and the old bones of the people's army, although these fighters were not very old.

Blowing up a tank, blowing up a tank, it's easier said than done, in the face of the rumbling steel monster, let alone blowing up, if you can hold up and don't pee your pants, it won't be soft, not to mention rushing up and playing with it.

The fighters on the position used their weapons to fire desperately at the Kuomintang infantry group behind the tank, holding them down with a single force and preventing them from causing trouble to their comrades.

The demolition team, on the other hand, took advantage of the terrain and features to quickly approach the tank group, and the machine guns in the tanks also opened fire at this time, and the turret rotated, firing "click, click, click" around.

From time to time, some of the fighters who rushed up to blow up the tank were hit by the machine guns in the tank and fell, and the remaining fighters approached quickly without even blinking their eyes, and they couldn't hesitate at this time, even their best comrades couldn't take care of it.

Finally, two fighters from a combat group stuck to it, hung the bundles of grenades in their hands on the tracks of the tank, and quickly rolled down.

There are also a lot of tricks to fighting tanks, ordinary grenades thrown on the outer armor have no effect, but the tracks of the lower walking part of the tank are not as strong as the upper armor, and after a few seconds, an explosion sounded, and I saw that the chain of the tank that was blown up was broken all of a sudden, and the tank could no longer move after a few snorts.

At the same time as this explosion sounded, the explosion of grenades also sounded from the battlefield one after another, and the Kuomintang attack tank group was blown up one by one, and the tank soldiers who crawled out of the tanks were also killed.

The few remaining tanks saw that the situation was not good, turned around on the spot, and a puff of black smoke came out from behind, howling and running.

As soon as the tank ran, the infantry following the tank suddenly retreated under the light fire of the PLA soldiers, leaving behind the corpses in one place.

The old squad leader jumped into the trench from the outside, sat on the ground and gasped for breath, and the new soldier hurriedly handed over the kettle: "Squad leader, it's so good, this Wang Bahuzi looks very scary, I didn't expect to be blown up by our grenades." ”

The squad leader drank a few sips of water, cleared his breath a little, and said to the soldiers who came around: "No matter what it is, no matter what kind of weapon it is, it has shortcomings, as long as it is accurate, it can deal with it, like fighting a tank, we used to take care of it when we beat the little devil, don't look at it when it rushes up is very majestic, but its tracks, belly and the ventilation fan of the engine behind it, these are its key points, and you can kill it if you see it." ”
