Chapter 326: The City is Broken
Under the cover of Gao Xiang's artillery fire and Gao Shi'e machine gun in the Laoshan position, the assault team attacked near the temporary earthen city wall, and the artillery that followed behind them also reached a distance of only more than 100 meters from the city wall.

At the command of the regiment commander Li Yong, the soldiers smashed the shells directly against the earthen wall, and the close-range shè hit made the power of the shell explosion particularly shocking.
The attack of several battalions of the independent regiment was blown up in front of several big holes, and the ** soldiers who ran slowly went up to the sky with the stones and tiles, and the fast ones were also frightened by the PLA's fighting style.
The direct attack of artillery fire caused great losses to the enemy, but the most powerful thing is not the casualties, but the morale of the blow, the People's Liberation Army's way of playing with life makes these defensive ** officers and soldiers unable to get up with the strength of desperately, these people feel that no matter how they play with their lives, they can't play the PLA on the other side, so they just run away, and they can pick up a piece of life if they run fast.
The soldiers knew very well that as long as they could occupy the blown up breakthrough for a few minutes, the main force of the regiment behind would be able to keep up, and as long as the main force of the regiment came up, the fifth brigade behind would also rush up, and the main force of the fifth brigade would basically win the battle.
The soldiers of the commando team are equipped with Qingyi sè submachine guns, although it is said that shè is relatively close, but now is the time when the power can be used the most, there are not a few people left in the area that was blown up, the dead are running, and the ones who are not dead and have not run are also dizzy and stunned by the explosion, and the submachine guns are just used at this time.
The sound of 'click-and-click' shè sounded everywhere on the collapsed earthen wall, and the explosions of grenades were heard one after another, and the soldiers couldn't stop pointing at the ** soldier who was still in the mí mush, and the fire point in the half-collapsed state was that regardless of whether there were still living people inside, a grenade was stuffed in and blown up first, and a red flag prepared in advance was shot, and this red flag was on the breakthrough that had just been occupied, and it was extremely conspicuous on the battlefield that was about to be lit up.
Gao Xiang's howitzers blocked all the roads where the enemy might be reinforced, the earthen walls of the first-line enemy were blown up, the soldiers on the defense ran to death, the commandos occupied the bombed positions, and the red flag was raised, and this was the best time to launch an attack.
Li Yong, who saw the opportunity, shouted at the messenger in the command headquarters: "Inform the division trumpet squad, blow the trumpet of the charge, and the whole regiment will attack." ”
The soldiers of a squad stood on the position and vigorously sounded the trumpet in their hands, and the terrible trumpet sounded on the battlefield, and the soldiers of the five infantry battalions of the independent regiment jumped out of the position and rushed forward shouting under the leadership of the commander.
The fifth battalion followed He Cuihua like the soldiers of other battalions to rush up, at this time there were no men and NV people on the battlefield, some were just dead and alive, those who could rush up were alive, and those who didn't rush up and lay on the road were dead, it's as simple as that.
Charge, charge, to rush forward in the shortest possible time when the enemy has not yet reacted, Li Yong put down the binoculars in his hand, and said to Wang Chengde, the political commissar who had been directing the battle with him: "Lao Wang, it's time for us to go up." ”
Political Commissar Wang Chengde nodded: "Well, notify the reconnaissance battalion and rush up behind the attacking troops." After finishing speaking, he and Li Yong each grabbed a submachine gun and ran out.
This is the old habit of Li Yong and Wang Chengde, charging with the troops, the pistol will not play a role, and the American-style soup mother gun is in hand.
The reconnaissance battalion followed behind the five infantry battalions of the independent regiment, and the second echelon as a follow-up on their own side also rushed up, and the attack launched by thousands of people made this area lively all of a sudden, and the border was full of beating figures, Li Yong and Wang Chengde were mixed in the middle of the reconnaissance battalion under the protection of Li Yiming's two guard platoons and launched an attack with the soldiers.
Because of Gao Xiang's overwhelming artillery fire, the artillery in the city has never played much role, Li Yong and Wang Chengde's command post is only a few hundred meters away from the forefront, which is already within the effective range of the rifle, and several infantry battalions and their headquarters are even closer, although it is dangerous to do so, but it also has a huge advantage, shortening the attack distance, and it is easy to rush up once the attack is launched.
Like Li Yong, Brigade Commander Guo, who had been observing the battlefield situation all the time, was in a bit incomprehensible at this time, the soldiers of the Independent Regiment opened the breakthrough and the red flag was raised, which was of course a great thing, but this great thing was done by other troops after the attack of his own troops was frustrated, which made Brigade Commander Guo, a commander from the old Red Army, somewhat uncomfortable.
But it is uncomfortable to be uncomfortable, it does not mean that Brigade Commander Guo can't see the battlefield situation clearly, Brigade Commander Guo shouted left and right: "What are you looking at stupidly, ordering the troops to follow the independent regiment and rush in, we haven't compared with the independent regiment before, and now we still want to lose?" ”
The Fifth Brigade fought outside the city for a long night, although it paid a certain price but there was no progress, and finally let the independent regiment come over and open the breakthrough, which made the cadres and soldiers of the Fifth Brigade who were very angry and couldn't get out of their breath, the Fifth Brigade was an old unit brought out by the commander, and the big Xiǎo fought countless battles, it was a Red Army unit, who didn't know the 359th Brigade in Nanniwan? But now it is really uncomfortable to lose to a new recruit egg army that has not been formed for a long time.
Brigade Commander Guo's order, the soldiers who had been holding their breath jumped out of the position and rushed up, some of the soldiers didn't even bend their waists, they ran desperately with weapons, the soldiers' ideas were also very simple, the breakthrough was opened, but the follow-up battle was not over, we must rush up quickly, it is best to be in front of the independent regiment, I don't believe that there is no place to compare with this group of recruit eggs, compared with the fifth brigade, these people in the independent regiment are indeed recruit eggs, no wonder people have this idea.
At the headquarters of the second column, Commander Wang, who received the news, laughed: "Good Xiǎozi, good job, order the troops, don't fall in love with the battle after entering the city, attack and advance to the headquarters of the 17th Division, let the soldiers shout slogans, and shout to capture He Wending alive." ”
Not too far from Yan'an, there is a small xiǎo ravine, and there are more than a dozen families on the yang side, all of whom are local farmers who mainly farm and graze, which is considered a very ordinary xiǎo mountain village in the northwest at that time, and in a vacated kiln dòng lives the commander of the Northwest Field Army, the deputy commander-in-chief of the People's Liberation Army, and Mr. Peng.
A commander hurriedly ran in: "Chief, good news, the second column has broken through from the south of the city. ”
Mr. Peng, who had been frowning and thinking about the problem, had his eyes lit up: "Let's talk about the situation in detail, what is going on, didn't their second column hit a hard nail in the south of the city?" According to our intelligence, He Wending transferred most of the reserves in his hands to Wang Huzi and them, how could Wang Huzi break through if he didn't even have an advantage in troops? ”
In fact, Mr. Peng did not pin his hopes on the second column, the Northwest Field Army's attack this time was carried out in several directions at the same time with several main columns, since the enemy pulled the reserves over to deal with Wang Huzi, then use the second column to involve the enemy's reinforcements, and then use the rest of the columns to break through in other directions, this is Mr. Peng's real thoughts, I didn't expect that when the day was about to dawn, there was no battle report from other troops, but the news that the second column took the lead in success.
The commander who ran in wiped the sweat from his face: "Chief, the situation report of the second column shows that it is the independent regiment that has played a big role. ”
listen
As soon as the commander said this, Mr. Peng also asked with great interest: "Heh, why is this independent regiment again?" Let's go into more detail, what is going on? ”
"Chief, the first task of this independent regiment of the second column was to attack Laoshan, and after the successful attack on Laoshan, they were transferred back by their commander, and after returning they launched a second strong attack on the attack area of the Fifth Brigade, and not long ago they broke through the enemy's city fortifications, this is the battle report."
Mr. Peng, who took the telegram, read it carefully and then handed the telegram to a chief beside him: "Wang Huzi is not simple, since we have broken through from the south of the city, we will also change our tactics, notify the first, third, and fourth columns, increase the intensity of the attack, and strive to kill before the arrival of the plane in Xi'an, and order the sixth column, follow behind the second column, and all break through, I want to see what else this He Wending can do." ”
In the city, at the headquarters of the 17th Division, an officer stumbled in: "Division, the communist army has broken through our defense line in the south of the city and has already attacked, let's go, it's too late if you don't leave." ”
He Wending took out a handkerchief and wiped his brain, so he said calmly: "What's the panic, how many communist troops have come in, isn't it okay to send troops to beat them back." ”
"Division, the communist army has broken into a large army, our reserves have long been exhausted, and even your guard battalion has been exhausted, what else can you use to block the breakthrough of the communist army? Let's go, if we don't go, we'll all be prisoners. ”
He Wending really panicked at this time, and his hand holding the hat was shaking slightly: "***, the communist army is really hateful, why hasn't the plane in Xi'an been there yet?" Why didn't you bomb it when it was dawn? ”
Officer: "Division, it's too late to say anything now, even if Chief Hu sends a plane over, it won't solve the problem, our people and the communist army are fighting in the streets, and the plane can't be bombed." ”
