Chapter 519: Battle of Lanzhou: Battle of the Great Iron Bridge

After the new first division lost its combat effectiveness, the commander Ma Ying decided to fight with the communist army.

On the bridgehead positions of the Separate Brigade, the light and heavy machine guns and small artillery of the 1st and 2nd Battalions were fired in full force, weaving a web of death with bullets and shells from the forward positions.

The fallen horses and personnel were in pieces, piles, and herds, like rolling soup and pouring snow, and the troops charged by the Ma family army were like melted slush, fused with the earth under their feet.

The first battalion commander Li Jiangguo and the second battalion commander Ma Quanyou are both soldiers from the Eighth Road, with very old qualifications, and their many years of combat career have made them very familiar with all kinds of weapons and equipment of the troops, no matter what American, Japanese, Soviet, or Kuomintang's self-made weapons, they can be used when they are touched, and they can be used accurately, which is also the ability to be forced out in the absence of a way, there are still many old soldiers like the two of them in the PLA troops, who makes us unable to produce weapons ourselves!!

The fierce battle made the palms of the two of them itch, and they couldn't stand it, Li Jiangguo and Ma Quanyou each pushed away the soldiers of their own battalion, and personally picked up the Makqin heavy machine gun and fired.

Boom, whistle, boom

The combination of long and short bursts, the bullets were shot out in strings, the dead men and dead horses fell one by one, holding the grip of the heavy machine gun, shooting fiercely, it was really enjoyable, it was really fucking enjoyable, Li Jiangguo and Ma Quan couldn't stop shouting: "Ammunition man, get ready, go and move another box of bullets, hurry up, what are you rubbing?" The enemy ran away, and I'm not done with you kid. ”

In the shouting, a box of bullets was moved, the lid of the box was opened, and Huang Chengcheng's bullets were full of all of a sudden, which made people happy to watch, Li Jiangguo was happy, and scolded his mother happily: "Damn, when did our Eighth Route Army become so rich?" Heavy machine gun bullets can be dried in boxes, which is a luxury. ”

The people who came skillfully loaded the empty heavy machine guns, and the chain of more than 300 rounds was enough for these cavalrymen of the Ma family army to drink a pot, but Li Jiangguo felt that there was something wrong, something wrong???

Li Jiangguo, who looked back sharply to observe, saw that it was not the deputy shooter and ammunition man who came to carry the bullets just now, nor the old shooter who was pushed away by himself, but the brigade commander Li Yong. Mix&//( n)

The brigade commander Li Yong became the deputy shooter, Li Jiangguo still gave the heavy machine gun in his hand to the soldiers beside him, and pulled Li Yong to run into the hidden department, shouting as he ran: "Ma Quanyou, you bastard boy, how did you command the battle, how could you let the brigade commander come up?" ”

Ma Quanyou also saw the brigade commander Li Yong coming up, Ma Quanyou was depressed, he was very depressed, he ***, let Li Jiangguo, this kid say anything, and it seemed that he was not a person inside and outside for a long time.

The three of them returned to the concealment department together, and Li Jiangguo and Ma Quanyou breathed a sigh of relief: "Brigade commander, why did you touch it too?" Too dangerous. ”

Li Yong was noncommittal: "What's dangerous or not, didn't we fight in the trenches the same before?" Squeamish when you become a brigade commander? It doesn't stink so much. ”

Li Jiangguo and Ma Quanyou smiled: "Brigade commander, you don't have to come over, don't look at the Ma family's army rushing fiercely, they can't come up, I estimate that another thousand eight hundred people can scare them away." ”

"Jiang Guo, Quanyou, it's not a good way to scare them away, it's best to annihilate them all, think about it, most of these soldiers of the Ma Jiajun are habitual bandits, once the troops are scattered, it is very likely to become bandits again, which is very unfavorable for our future work in the liberated areas, it is best to take advantage of the good opportunity to wipe them all out cleanly, in order to solve our worries."

Li Jiangguo and Ma Quanyou looked at each other, both of them were old soldiers, and they could understand the meaning of the brigade commander Li Yong very well, but understanding was different from whether they could do it, the first and second battalions were infantry, and it was not a problem to rely on strong firepower to defeat the charging cavalry in positional warfare, but it would be difficult to annihilate them all, and it would not be possible to catch up with the cavalry on two legs, and the question raised by the brigade commander was beyond the ability of the two infantry battalions.

Li Yong saw the thoughts of the two: "What are you two guys thinking?" Of course, you two battalions can't be relied upon, I discussed with the political commissar, wait a minute, transfer the tank battalions of Lao Jiang and Li Yuming, and it is estimated that it will be about the same with three battalions. ”

Of course, it is good to be able to transfer the tank battalion, and the cavalry encountering the iron guy is no different from hitting the stone with an egg, but the independent brigade has to face not only Ma Ying's bridge guards, but also the task of intercepting the troops of the Green Horse Army running out of Lanzhou City???

Li Yong and Li Jiangguo also had these two dozen veteran soldiers fighting and living together for more than two years, and they were very clear about each other's habits and tempers, and he knew what the two were worried about.

"Haha, don't worry, our brigade has ten battalions, use your three battalions to deal with Ma Ying, let's plug the gap, the enemy can run out of the city are some defeated rebels, there is not much combat effectiveness, tell you, even if your three battalions can't help, the political commissar and I don't want to use Gao Xiang's heavy artillery battalion and Wei Gang's anti-aircraft machine gun battalion, Wang Laohu and his three infantry battalions, plus Zhang Jinsong's reconnaissance battalion is enough."

The second battalion commander Ma Quan asked curiously: "Brigade commander, why don't you use Gao Xiang and Wei Gang." ”

"The reason is very simple, Lanzhou City is ours, it's a pity to be destroyed with artillery, we have to rebuild after the war, it's easy to break and difficult to rebuild, and I don't know how much manpower and material resources it will cost at that time, so I don't know how much manpower and material resources it will cost to use without artillery, besides, the shells don't have long eyes, once they fall into the homes of the people, they will be broken, a shell will be bloody, as for the problem of anti-aircraft machine guns, the ammunition we captured can't catch up with their consumption, and the field army logistics troops have not been supplied, It's still unclear whether it's because we can't produce or because of transportation, but we have to save some money at this stage. ”

In the end, Li Yong explained: "The two infantry battalions and one tank battalion are under the unified command of Li Jiangguo, the commander of the first battalion, and how to fight the battle is decided by you, and the political commissar and I do not interfere, and the central meaning is only one, to do our best to wipe out all the bridge-guarding troops of the Qingma Army." ”

After explaining the task, Li Yong rushed back to the position on the other side of the big iron bridge in the dark, and after a short time, Li Yuming, the instructor of the tank battalion, also touched it.

As soon as Li Yuming entered the concealment department, he shouted: "Battalion Commander Li, the brigade commander has assigned our battalion to your battalion again, but this time, you can't have bad intentions, like the battle of the battalion leader, we can't do it if we don't need it." ”

Li Jiangguo shook his head angrily: "What do you call a bad heart, you boys are talking nonsense all over the world, isn't it a good thing that you can't use it!" This shows that the combat effectiveness of our independent brigade is strong. ”

"I don't care if it's strong or not, anyway, this battle won't work without our tank battalion."

Li Jiangguo: "Okay, okay, you must use your tank battalion, you can't use it, our two infantry battalions can't catch up with the enemy's horseshoe, how is your battalion prepared?" ”

Li Yuming is the instructor of the tank battalion, and the first battalion commander Li Jiangguo is at the same level, but this qualification is not a little worse, hearing Li Jiangguo ask how their battalion is prepared, this guy immediately replied: "Report, the tank battalion is ready as soon as it is ready, the oil is full and the engine is ignited, and it can set off if there is an order." ”

Li Jiangguo: "Okay, hurry back and get control of the troops, try to get as close as possible to the bridge, listen to my orders, and the attack will start in half an hour." ”

Li Yong handed over the task of destroying the bridge-guarding troops of the Qingma Army to Li Jiangguo, the commander of the first battalion, because he knew that Li Jiangguo was a veteran soldier with extremely rich battlefield experience, and there was no problem in commanding such a battle, and there was no need for him to do everything himself.

Li Jiangguo asked Li Yuming to assemble the tank troops near the bridge as much as possible, and it was obvious that this guy's head was very useful, and half an hour was enough.

The smoke-emitting tanks and armored vehicles drove over one after another, and went up the bridge along the gangplank, and the front one had already arrived at the headquarters of Li Jiangguo and Ma Quanyou.

Ma Ying commanded the 8th and 14th Cavalry Divisions, as well as the personnel of the new 1st Division who had not been scattered, and the impact on the bridgehead of the PLA had lasted for more than half an hour.

Ma Ying, who stared at the blood-red eyes, had no pity, this guy thought wildly, ** here, communist wife, anyway, I won't have a good life in the future, it's better to fight it all at once, maybe I can break out a way to live.

It was driven by this fluke mentality that Ma Ying became more and more crazy, commanding the troops to fight to the death, and after half an hour, Ma Ying felt that the gunfire on the PLA position in front of him gradually thinned out.

What's going on?? Could it be that the communist army's ammunition can't be supplied? It is very likely that Ma Ying, who thought of this, was ecstatic: "Brothers, the communist army's ammunition is almost exhausted, and then rush up harder, take the bridge back, and pick up the brothers in the city, you are all a great merit, when the time comes, I will go to the old commander (Ma Bufang) and the commander-in-chief (Ma Jiyuan) to personally protect the meritorious personnel in battle, and ensure that your officers are promoted to the third level, the beautiful women are hugging, the horses are riding, brothers, rush." ”

The thinning out of the guns was entirely a ploy by the commander of the first battalion, Li Jiangguo, who believed that if he wanted to kill and wound as many enemies as possible, he had to give them a surprise attack, and the protagonist of this attack mission was none other than the tank battalion.
