Chapter 296: Breakthrough in the Battle of Xifu

The Northwest Field Army, which had counterattacked from the Majiashan position and Baoji City, was temporarily in a state of confrontation with the Kuomintang Fifth Corps, and Li Yong, the commander of the Independent Regiment, asked Ning Erzi, the commander of a platoon of the reconnaissance battalion, to capture a few prisoners to inquire about the situation.

Ning Erzi brought a few soldiers to take advantage of the darkness to bring out a few alive from the pile of dead people, no one knew how Ning Erzi used to persuade the prisoners, anyway, these guys followed behind honestly, and crawled back little by little under the cover of the night scouts and prisoners.

At this time, no one told you what to do, but whether it was the prisoner or the scouts brought out by Ning Erzi, everyone moved back cautiously, for fear that they would accidentally alarm the troops on duty on both sides on the battlefield and lose their lives.

Fortunately, they are all born as soldiers, and their psychological qualities are not bad, and the scouts have been trained, have a strong sense of direction, and can also discern how to go back in the dark, otherwise it will be over once they climb to the enemy's position in a dizzy way.

It took about half an hour for the soldiers who led the way at the front to roll into a small ditch that was not too deep, and when the platoon commander Ning Erzi, who was crawling at the rear, also rubbed in, everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief, anyway, this mission came back alive.

The small ditch is not big, there is more than one person deep, and he can barely straighten his waist to walk, so it is much faster all of a sudden, and it didn't take long for Ning Erzi and the soldiers to bring a few prisoners to the side of the regiment commander Li Yong and political commissar Wang Chengde.

Looking at the few prisoners standing in front of him trembling, Li Yong asked in a more relaxed tone: "Don't be afraid, do you know the prisoner policy of our People's Liberation Army?" ”

Several captives looked at each other and nodded, and Li Yong said in a very gentle tone: "Now that you know everything, what else is there to be afraid of?" In a sense, is it a good thing to be a prisoner of our PLA, a few of you are willing to continue to be soldiers and work in our PLA, then we will be a family, if you don't want to go home, we will pay for the journey, it is absolutely right for one person to have two oceans, as long as you are no longer a reactionary, rest assured, our PLA will never kill prisoners. ”

After Li Yong finished explaining these words, the prisoner's expression was obviously relaxed, knowing that he couldn't die, a big stone in his heart finally landed, and he could hear from the tone of this PLA commander that he must be a very good-hearted person, everyone said that we had not killed the prisoners, what else should we be afraid of?

But the expressions of the soldiers beside Li Yong were different, especially those old soldiers who were very familiar with Li Yong, including Zhang Jinsong, everyone tried their best to hold back and keep themselves from laughing.

The soldiers were all thinking that their little regiment commander was pretending to be true, what does it mean that he has never killed a prisoner? If he hadn't killed him, who else had? Isn't this the same as the big bad wolf deceiving the little sheep? (There may not have been this story at that time, the author broke it blindly)

Li Yong in the dark couldn't see the expressions of the soldiers, but he could guess everyone's appearance from their "snort" sound that he couldn't hold back his laughter.

Two of the three earliest female soldiers of the Independent Regiment were by Li Yong's side at this time, Hu Xiaolian, the captain of the health team, and Li Jia, the commander of the communications platoon, were not far from Li Yong.

This guy, look at the way he is pretending to be a good old man now, who can know the thunderous methods when he is ruthless, especially when he used a gun to hold his chin, don't look at the eight roads that have been in place for so long, sometimes I can still remember it in my dreams.

Hu Xiaolian, who couldn't help but laugh, walked a few steps to come to her little man, her vision was not good in the dark, and she was not afraid of others seeing it, so she used her hand to twist Li Yong's waist and eyes.

As soon as Hu Xiaolian's hand touched it, Li Yong felt it, and knew what her next move would be, although it was very painful, he pretended to be okay and continued to ask, "Are there any officers among you?" What is the job title? ”

Hearing Li Yong's question, one of the prisoners replied a little hesitantly: "Report to the commander, I am an officer, and I am a lieutenant and company deputy of the provisional Eighth Division. ”

Li Yong: Don't be nervous, it's okay to be an officer, as long as you do a good job in our PLA, you can count yourself as a meritorious service, and tell you everything you know, especially the location of the corps headquarters and artillery units.

The lieutenant officer, who had been captured, coughed: "Sir, my heart has been dead since our own people shot us, what is the use of giving them their lives?" Don't worry, sir, as long as I know it, I will say it. ”

This officer really knew a lot, and some other things were not a secret in the Kuomintang troops, and in addition, this prisoner already had a certain antipathy towards the Kuomintang troops, and the situation that Li Yong wanted to know after ten minutes was generally clear.

After sending these prisoners down, Li Yong and Wang Chengde, as well as the chief of staff Fang Xin, and the regiment commander of the Fourth Column discussed nervously together, the time for the troops to attack was coming soon, and they must break through as soon as possible.

Li Yong's plan was as follows: The two regiments should not stay too long, and once they succeeded in breaking through, they would go straight to the headquarters of the Fifth Corps of the Kuomintang, knock out its brain organs, paralyze its command system, and create conditions for the field army's counterattack operations.

The plan of the independent regiment was unanimously approved, and the people of the Fourth Column also believed that although this was a dangerous move, it was also a good move, and as long as it could succeed, it would undoubtedly be of great help to the main force of the field army.

Time was pressing, and after the plan was decided, the men and horses of the two regiments moved nervously, and the independent regiment mobilized all its firepower except for Gao Xiang's heavy artillery battalion, including the anti-aircraft machine gun air defense battalion of Wei Gang, which had just been established.

In the selected attack area, several infantry battalions of the independent regiment put their heavy machine gun platoon and mortar platoon in the highest position, preparing to use their infantry heavy firepower to suppress the opponent and successfully break through in one fell swoop.

This point is too far from the regiment of the fourth column, and it is very red to see that the heavy machine guns and mortars of the independent regiment are deployed in place, and some soldiers whisper strange things in private: "**, the people of the second column are too good, have you seen it?" Please Ichishiki water traps and cannons, I really don't know where they got them. ”

The other took it and said, "People are not only well armed and equipped, but then you can see what they eat and what they use?" What are you wearing? If only our group could reach half the level of others. ”

In the whispers of the people, the attack of the Northwest Field Army began, and in order to prevent the troops from fighting the battle into the most taboo stalemate, Mr. Peng threw the four main columns he could gather into it together, preparing to crush the enemy's defense line with a thunderous attack.

The sound of gunfire, the explosion of grenades and explosive packets, and the shouts of soldiers all converged on a terrifying tsunami.

The heavy artillery on both sides was too close to open fire, which gave the infantry at the front a chance to put their fire on full display, and the red ballistics from machine guns, rifles, and submachine guns intertwined in the night.

Under the cover of their own short-range firepower, the Northwest Field Army launched a tidal charge against the Kuomintang troops guarding the second line of trenches.

Charge after charge, the front one fell, and the people behind followed, and the soldiers tried their best to close the distance, as long as the two troops came into contact, it would be the world of the People's Liberation Army.

The Kuomintang side was also well aware of the purpose of the PLA, and knew that fighting close combat was not the opponent of the PLA, and once it was time to fight bayonets and grenades, it was also the time when they were defeated.

Under the pressure of middle- and lower-ranking officers and overseers at all levels, the soldiers kept pulling the trigger on the rushing PLA troops, and the bullets were fired out in rows.

From the first moment of the start of the main attack, Li Yong ordered the infantry of the Independent Regiment to fire heavy fire on the Kuomintang troops on the other side.

With more than 50 mortars, more than 50 Makqin heavy machine guns, and the newly formed anti-aircraft machine gun battalion, the infantry weapons of the Independent Regiment reached a level that made their opponents feel terrified.

The combination of light and heavy, the combination of far and near, the Makqin hit the front line, the anti-aircraft machine gun blocked the blockade, the mortar bombed back and forth at the position, plus a huge number of Czech types.

In more than ten seconds, the position opposite the independent regiment was like a boiling pot, and the bullets formed by the bullets were overwhelming, and the Kuomintang troops defending on the front line were suddenly stunned, as long as someone exposed their heads to the outside of the trenches, they would definitely have a few more bullet holes of different sizes and a body of brains when they came back.

The murderous aura revealed by the independent regiment is not to mention the Kuomintang troops on the opposite side, and even a regiment of the four columns around it was shocked, my mother, I really don't lose this independent regiment to be so bullish, when I walk, I keep my chest up and my head up, and the tone of my voice is also very big, people are really powerful, look at this posture and there is still an undefeated enemy?

Dozens of mortars exploded into clusters of fire, small shells rained down, and the pressure exerted by the independent regiment on the enemy on the opposite side made them feel powerless to resist.

No matter how powerful the machine gun is, as long as it lies in the trench, it will be fine, the bullet will not turn after all, if you are smart, you will not die if you don't show your head and shoot at the PLA, but the mortar is different, this second line of defense has just been built, a large number of fortifications are still very rudimentary, and the mortar of the independent regiment is no different from ordinary training to deal with this kind of target.

Rows of shells kept falling in the trenches, and the waves of air and shrapnel from the explosions kept throwing the men and weapons and equipment out of the trenches.

The corpses that had been blown up to the sky danced in the air for a while and then fell, of course, the ones that fell were definitely not alive.
