Pei Changhui, the old fox-like commander, was unconcerned about the PLA's attack, and he calmly believed that it would be difficult for a unit without heavy weapons to pose a threat to his well-fortified headquarters.

A subordinate replied worriedly: "Commander, according to the observation of the humble position, this attack of the communist army is a little different from the previous one. ”

Pei Chang would look back at him with interest: "What's the difference, say it and listen to it." ”

"Commander, the communist army has always paid attention to winning wars by surprise, but this time it is a little wrong to attack us from one direction, is it a deception?"

Pei Changhui: "How can it be a direction?" Isn't listening to the sound of gunfire attacking us from three directions at once? ”

"Commander, the attack is from three directions, but only one direction is really done, and the actions of the communist army in the other two directions are only to contain our forces and firepower."

Pei Changhui: "Tell me what you think." ”

"The humble position believes that the true intentions of the communist army have not been fully exposed until now, and that their attacks from the front and from both sides are most likely a cover to cover their real purpose."

Pei Changhui: "According to what you say, the pressure exerted on us by the communist army on the front is also fake?" ”

"It is very likely that this is the case, you also said that the attacking troops of the communist army only have some rifles and submachine guns, and then there are a small number of Czech and hand grenades, according to the information we have, although the attacking communist army is not too many, but there are also a lot, and the number of people is at least one regiment, and a regiment-level unit will not even have a heavy machine gun and mortar, right? Therefore, he believes that the main direction of attack of the communist army will not be on the sides or in the front, but in the rear positions where there has been no movement, and the pressure that the communist army has been exerting on us from the front is only to mobilize our sight and strength. ”

Pei Chang looked at this subordinate with approving eyes: "Very smart, and the analysis of the problem is also very pertinent, you go and inform Commander Zhang, tell him your thoughts again, let him pay more attention to the position behind him, and the regimental reserve should not be used lightly, and then send a telegram to the friendly and neighboring troops, so that they can hurry up and rush over, and strive to surround this communist army after dawn." ”

As if to verify the correctness of the judgment of this junior officer, before he could walk out of the headquarters, a fierce sound of gunfire and grenade explosions suddenly erupted from behind the headquarters of the Kuomintang corps, mixed with the sound of an unknown number of heavy machine guns and mortars.

Pei Changhui laughed: "Good guy, I really let you guess correctly, it seems that the direction of attack chosen by the communist army is indeed a position in the back mountain, notify Commander Zhang, let him transfer the reserve team over, and once the troops behind can't stand it, they will pull it up, tell the brothers that holding on until dawn is victory." ”

The regiment of the Fourth Column, which was responsible for attacking in the vicinity of the back mountains, had all three infantry battalions on top at the very beginning, and the regiment commander was very aware of the current environment in which the troops were located, and if they wanted to destroy the enemy's command post, they had to fight a decisive battle, and once they became entangled with the enemy, they would be broken, and when the enemy's reinforcements arrived, they would not be able to withdraw even if they wanted to.

In order to allow this regiment to exert more pressure on the enemy, the independent regiment did not bother to put much effort into it, and Li Yong told the battalion commander of the heavy battalion, Lao Sun, that as long as the ammunition that this regiment lacks, it can be replenished.

Li Yongzhi thought a little too much about this, Sun Quanhou, the old eight-way baggage battalion commander, is much higher than his regiment commander's ideological realm, if it weren't for the fact that he didn't dare to make his own decisions, he would have supplemented it a long time ago, since the regiment commander had something to say, he naturally didn't say it, so the ammunition of this regiment was also very sufficient.

Attacking, attacking, continuous attack, light and heavy machine guns and artillery, carrying five kilograms of explosives, and muffled explosions one after another, just about an hour after the battle on the back mountain, the Kuomintang defense troops on the mountain shouted for support with telephones, walkie-talkies, and other means of communication.

Hearing the shouts of reinforcements from the Kuomintang rear mountain position coming from the walkie-talkie, Li Yong happily said to Wang Chengde and others: "The men of the fourth column have done a good job, inform them that they must maintain the intensity of the attack, and at least hold out for another half an hour, and must let the enemy transfer their reserves over, and ask them if they still need our support." ”

The two troops were fighting in the depth of the enemy's large corps, and there was no way to connect the telephone lines with each other, and the walkie-talkie was afraid of leaking the content of the call, so the most primitive and reliable messenger was used to transmit the situation.

The commander of the Fourth Column said to the personnel of the Independent Regiment who came to inquire: "Go back and tell your Regiment Commander Li, please rest assured that we will definitely drag the enemy's reserves over, and as long as your Independent Regiment does not succeed, even if we fight the whole regiment, we will not withdraw." ”

The correspondent repeated the words of the regiment commander to Li Yong, and Li Yong, who was very touched in his heart, felt that he still underestimated the fighting will and determination of the old troops of that era.

The continuous battle went on for about half an hour, and it was already a little more than two o'clock in the morning, and the anxious Li Yong finally waited for the news he had been waiting for.

Thanks to the efforts of one regiment of the Fourth Column, the reserves of the enemy's defending units were transferred to positions in the area of the back mountains to participate in the battle, and this judgment was confirmed by the enemy's telephone calls on walkie-talkies and the messages sent back by the comrades of the Fourth Column.

Li Yong knew that it was time for him to make up his mind, the enemy's corps headquarters was still more than a little more than a unit away from the itinerary, and what the independent regiment had to do was to fight a time difference in this situation, fight quickly and withdraw quickly, and leave after the battle.

"Wei Gang, your battalion will open fire immediately, and the covering troops will rush forward, you must suppress the enemy's fire, let's start."

Before Li Yong could put down the microphone of the walkie-talkie in his hand, the sound of an anti-aircraft machine gun salvo suddenly came from the surrounding positions.

A salvo of more than 50 large-caliber anti-aircraft machine guns filled the night sky like a fire dragon, and the 127-mm anti-aircraft machine gun shells filled the fire points on the offensive line of the independent regiment, the firing bunkers, and the pillboxes that inflicted heavy casualties on the soldiers.

Bursts of large-caliber machine-gun shells tore down the outer walls of various defenses, and it took less than a few minutes to knock down several firing points, including low pillboxes.

Wei Gang ordered the troops to use two anti-aircraft machine guns to shoot at a pillbox without stopping, and after firing more than 20 long shots, the top of the pillbox was lifted off (there was no reinforced concrete, only ordinary materials were used, and it could not withstand the attack of anti-aircraft machine guns for long), and then the shells of the infantry battalion smashed over and killed the people inside.

Makqin, mortars, and large-caliber anti-aircraft machine guns worked together, and the firepower of the independent regiment's attack increased several times at once, and the defending Kuomintang troops could no longer hold on, and retreated in an uproar.

Therefore, Pei Changhui, who was calm, couldn't sit still any longer, and a junior officer ran in sweaty: "Report to the commander, the big thing is not good, the communist army has already attacked, let's go." ”

Pei Changhui turned around and grabbed the officer who predicted that the main forces of the PLA were in the Houshan position and shouted: "Didn't you say that the main forces of the communist army are in the Houshan area?" What's going on? Now that everyone has come in, do you want Lao Tzu to be a prisoner of the communist army? You're complicit, I'm going to shoot you. ”

An officer grabbed Pei Changhui, who was in a rage, and persuaded: "Commander, it's useless to shoot him, the communist army is very close to us, and it's too late if we don't leave, go quickly." ”

Pei Changhui: "Where is Commander Zhang, and how did he become the head of the guard regiment?" Go to Commander Zhang and ask him to send troops to block the communist army. ”

The junior officer replied: "Commander, when the communist army broke through just now, Commander Zhang had only one guard platoon in his hand, and he took this platoon up before it was exhausted in less than ten minutes, according to the report of the brothers, Commander Zhang had already died. ”

Pei Changhui, who gritted his teeth, went back and forth like an old wolf: "The communist army is too hateful, too cunning, and it is the most difficult enemy in the world to deal with, and I am not done with them." ”

Under the half-push and half-frame of several guards, no matter how unwilling he was, Pei Changhui, the commander, fled in a hurry, and the entire headquarters was in chaos at once.

Headquarters, of course, they are all uncle-level figures, except for the guard regiment on the periphery, the personnel inside are pitiful in battle, and they are trembling with guns in their hands, how can such personnel parry the wolf-like independent regiment, and it will be completely defeated after ten minutes.

Li Yong was so happy that he kept shouting on his walkie-talkie: "Attention to all troops, no matter who it is, no matter how big an official it is, as long as it is stubborn, they will all be killed, and all good things will be snatched, and you must be careful not to break the radio station, it is a valuable treasure." ”

Hearing Li Yong's command in the walkie-talkie, political commissar Wang Chengde shook his head helplessly, this Dayong, use the walkie-talkie to directly ask the soldiers to grab things, I have never seen the regiment commander command the battle like this before.

But no matter whether he, the political commissar, is willing or not, the soldiers are very willing, is the regiment commander right about the headquarters, there must be a lot of good things in it, don't rob it, don't grab it, the sooner you start, the better.
