Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
At the end of the accelerator, the cāo longitudinal rod was pulled to the end, and the tanks flew forward, hundreds of tanks and armored vehicles charged together, and the roar of the motors shook the four fields, so that they could be heard clearly from several kilometers away.
The first infantry battalion, under the leadership of their battalion commander Li Jiangguo and instructors, followed the buttocks of the tank trucks and followed up desperately, not looking at the fast running of the tanks and armored vehicles, the infantry did not pull down a single step, and the battalion commander Li Jiangguo rushed to the front accompanied by several guards.
The first battalion was besieged by more than 200 soldiers, perhaps because of carelessness, Li Jiangguo's battalion commander did not notice it in time, this commander from the old Eighth Road was deeply guilty, guilty of the losses caused to the troops because of his mistakes, so Li Jiangguo was extremely fierce in this battle, he ordered the soldiers of the whole battalion, no matter how fast the tank run, to follow, if anyone strained him, he could not spare anyone.
The effect of the usual harsh physical training was seen at this time, and after several kilometers in a row, the fighters did not pull a single one, and all of them, like their battalion commanders, rushed behind the tank troops.
There is a machine gun platoon and a small artillery platoon in the establishment of the first battalion, and the equipment they have to carry is much heavier than that of ordinary infantry, the water-cooled Makqin heavy machine gun is more than 50 kilograms, plus the ammunition is terrifying, not to mention the mortar, the gun plate, the gun carriage and the cannon barrel are resisted by the soldiers separately, and the artillery platoon also has to carry a large number of shells, and the load is very large, and the time has come to test them
Charge, charge, keep up with the troops, keep up with the tanks, heavy machine guns and tank platoons of fighters snorting and panting, sweating profusely, the two platoon commanders are running on their own while cheering for the fighters:
"Comrades, the battalion commander's order did not divide any heavy machine guns and mortars, but asked our whole battalion to follow behind the tanks and advance in a sudden attack.
The fighters of the heavy machine-gun platoon and the artillery platoon gritted their teeth and followed. They have to provide the most direct fire support for their comrades, so even if they are tired, they must keep up.
Because the bandits did not have anti-tank weapons, in order to facilitate driving, the drivers in the first few kilometers rolled up their seats and exposed their heads, and the instructor Li Yuming even lifted the lid of the tank turret, and did not forget to look at the infantry following behind him while directing the troops to charge.
Li Yuming saw the soldiers of the battalion closely following the tank, and saw the vicious face of the battalion commander Li Jiangguo.
Seeing this, this very competitive guy couldn't help but admire. I didn't say anything, the soldiers of the first battalion were all good, none of them were strained for several kilometers, and all of them maintained a constant speed of running.
With a snap, the lid of the tank turret was closed, and Li Yuming shouted an order with the on-board radio: "The whole battalion has it." Prepare a combat grenade. ”
The second gunner (ammunition man) clicked and loaded the bomb, and then loudly replied to their instructor's order: "The grenade is ready." ”
A grenade is a fragmentation explosive device developed specifically to kill people. It is also a special type of ammunition for armored troops to deal with infantry. The bandits besieging Yiwu had no tanks or armored vehicles, so there was no need to prepare armor-piercing shells for armored troops to fight, and Li Yuming could confidently and boldly kill the enemy's infantry and cavalry with grenades.
The tank unit and the infantry of the first battalion advanced in a crushing manner, and the roar of the engines and motors shook the earth, and the troops attacked like a sea of mountains. After such a large formation, both sides of the enemy and us in the entire Yiwu theater understood that it was the main tank unit of the PLA that began to attack.
Around Iwu, the headquarters of the rebel bandits.
Iriel, a woman who was usually very good and strong, opened her eyes wide in horror. The body trembled involuntarily.
That's it! That's it! Just now, he was about to attack the positions of the People's Liberation Army, but suddenly an artillery fire blew up the bandits who had not had time to set off.
The PLA used a large-area bombing tactic, and any creature in the artillery strike area had no possibility of escaping, and all objects were smashed into ashes.
Gao Xiang's artillery battalion is too rich, the artillery shells accumulated by the troops since they entered Xinjiang are enough for them to fight for a while, hundreds of shells are thrown over, there are thousands of shells smashed over in a row, the sea of fire and the fragments of corpses all over the ground, there are too many dead and wounded under Iliel's men, and they are too wronged, and they are blown up in piles before they see the shadow of the large army of the communist army, and the battle is simply impossible to fight.
Iliel is a very powerful bandit, and she is also a bandit with a lot of brains, but a bandit is always a bandit, what she has experienced is nothing more than inter-tribal fights and fights and robberies, and she has never experienced the action of attacking a large army, or rather, she has never seen such a powerful artillery fire falling on her head, and she was shocked when the PLA artillery fired the first salvo.
Several officers of the Seventh Cavalry Division ran over, the predecessor of the Seventh Cavalry Division was the Fifth Army of the Qinghai Cavalry of the Kuomintang Ma Bufang, which was defeated by the People's Liberation Army during the Battle of Lanzhou.
"Miss, hurry up and retreat, the large army of the communist army is coming up."
Iliel's lips trembled: "Why did the communist army come so quickly?" Just withdraw? More than 6,000 people were shot, and they fought for more than 40 days, not only did they not eliminate hundreds of communist bandits, but they also suffered heavy casualties. ”
Iliel's last words were shouted out in despair, and a bandit officer persuaded: "Miss, stay in the green mountains, don't be afraid of no burning, if you don't retreat, it's too late, after the artillery bombardment of the communist army, it should be a big army attack, retreat quickly." ”
While a few bandits were talking, only the sound of the motor of the tank engine and the sound of the crawler walking were heard from afar, and they were getting closer and closer.
"Kalala, Kalala"
The bandits of the Seventh Cavalry Division, who had experience, could understand that it was the tanks of the communist army that came up, and all the bandits panicked, and no longer cared about the restraints of the leader, and ran in all directions.
How can you not panic, a little brain knows that the cavalry has no way to fight against the armored soldiers, the large army of the People's Liberation Army rushed over like a tide, and if you don't run, you will die, and even the elites around Iliel are looking around in a panic, wishing that their master would give the order to retreat earlier.
A bandit officer shouted: "Miss, if you don't leave, it's too late, the team will be in chaos, withdraw quickly." ”
The bandits from the regular army are different from the rabble, and the bandit officer who shouted is still very smart, taking advantage of the fact that the large army of the People's Liberation Army has not yet rushed to the front, gather the team, and then run out, so that some more people can be brought out, otherwise the troops will be broken after a while, and what the troops are most afraid of is the uncontrollable zhì after the establishment is disrupted, so that it will really become a straggler.
Iliel, who came to her senses, turned over her horse, reluctantly glanced at the county town of Yiwu, which was close at hand, and withdrew with a large group of bandits.
The Seventh Cavalry Division was born in the regular army, and when retreating, it was also more disciplined than ordinary bandits, and did not blindly swarm backwards, but concentrated a part of the bandits whose horses were killed, and changed the cavalry into infantry, so that this part of the bandits could block the large army of the People's Liberation Army in the back and win time for the main force of the rebel bandits.
There are indeed some outlaws among the bandits, especially the Seventh Cavalry Division with the Qingma Army as the team, who dare to fight hard at the critical moment, and these bandits who have no war horses howl and rush back under the orders of the commander, looking for weapons and terrain that can be used, and preparing to fight to the death with the attacking PLA troops.
Until now, Iliel has not realized the danger coming, according to his understanding of the PLA entering Xinjiang, the combat effectiveness of the PLA troops is not to say, very tenacious, but most of the PLA troops are infantry, and the infantry has no way to compare with the cavalry.
Iliel took it for granted that the communist army's ability on horses could not be compared with them, so she felt that even if she couldn't defeat the PLA, there was nothing, just run away, and the vast xinjiāng had a large enough area for them to deal with the PLA.
But today's estimate was wrong, and it was very wrong, although the PLA was also called infantry, it was a mechanized infantry with extremely strong mobility ability, and the gap between it and the infantry she knew was too big.
The bandits of the brigade retreated in a hurry, they were very naïve to think that it was nothing, as long as they could run out of the range of the PLA artillery, it would be fine, the two legs of the communist soldiers could not catch up with their four legs, and soon they would be able to turn around and make a comeback.
What Iriel, Aibaigula and others didn't expect was that the PLA's Duli Brigade only used three battalions to attack them at the beginning of the battle, a heavy artillery battalion, an armored battalion and an infantry battalion, and the rest of the troops were all in rapid mobility, the purpose was to surround them, the bandits who were running fast, and wanted to run? It's not that easy.
The Duli Brigade took part in the assault with one of the five infantry battalions, while the remaining four infantry battalions and one reconnaissance battalion, as well as a cavalry battalion attached to the Fifth Army, were all using trucks and horses to carry out frantic maneuvers in depth.
Brigade Commander Li Yong only gave them half an hour, and they must maneuver behind the bandits' butts within half an hour, otherwise they will be responsible for turning the battle into a rout, and our brigade commander wants total annihilation, not a defeat.
Wang Laohu, the commander of the fifth battalion, was the most stable battalion commander in the whole brigade, and the soldiers of their battalion were more or less influenced by him, and they were all steady in marching and fighting, but today's Wang Laohu shouted that the driver of the car should move forward at full speed, and he must raise the speed.
