The 356th Division of the Ningma Army, which was ordered to go out of the city to reinforce, was beaten back by the two independent divisions of the People's Liberation Army responsible for monitoring them, and the corpses of the 356th Division were beaten all over the ground by intensive firepower, not to mention the third security division that went to rescue the third security division on Niushou Mountain, and even the 356th Division itself almost confessed. )
The officers and soldiers who were lucky enough to run back said one after another: "The People's Liberation Army has been prepared for a long time, and what reinforcements are still being proposed. ”
The troops lost at least a third, which made the officers and men of the 356th Division panic and did not dare to go out of the city to carry out any rescue operations.
The 356th Division is honest, but it does not mean that all enemies will admit defeat, ** said, if you can't get a broom, the garbage will not run away by itself, but the 20th Brigade of the Ningma Cavalry, which was cruising in the Jinji area, bypassed the defense line of the surveillance troops of the 64th Army of the People's Liberation Army, and launched an attack on our troops attacking Niushou Mountain from the flank and rear.
This is the ability of the cavalry, which can carry out large-scale long-distance maneuvers, and it is indeed bypassing the line of sight of the surveillance troops, the method is very vicious, and the timing and position chosen are just right.
The three main divisions and brigades of the 64th Army of our army were attacking the 3rd Security Division of the Ningma Army on Niushou Mountain with all their might, and the 20th Cavalry Brigade suddenly stabbed from the side and back, and they wanted to use such a sudden action to attack the confidence of our army in attacking the troops of Niushou Mountain, so as to rescue the 3rd Security Division from a desperate situation.
、
The 20th Cavalry Brigade, which had more than 6,000 people, quietly crossed the defense line of the 64th Army under the cover of night and launched an attack on our troops who were attacking Niushou Mountain.
It has to be said that the action of the 20 th Cavalry Brigade is one of the few actions that have threatened our army since the 19 th Corps of the People's Liberation Army entered Ningxia.
It can be seen that the commander of the 20 Cavalry Brigade of the Ningma Army has certain tactical ideas, he believes. Don't look at the large size of the PLA's troops, but most of them are infantry, and in the eyes of the cavalry who are fast assaulting, the infantry moves as slowly as a snail. As long as their cavalry could rush up and rush to the middle of the infantry, they would inflict heavy casualties on the infantry.
The cavalry against the infantry is indeed the same tactics, fighting in the plains, once the cavalry is allowed to come up and fight in close quarters, it is actually a nightmare for the infantry, and the cavalry with a rapid impact can cut the infantry into countless small pieces. (_ And then take a bite to eat, if the infantry wants to avoid being cut, they must block the cavalry with fire at a certain distance, and do not give them a chance to come up, so that they can hope to win.)
、
The commander of the 20th Cavalry Brigade did not think that the PLA would be able to stop them, because it was now dark, and the PLA troops were fighting a fierce battle with the 3rd Security Division on the mountain, and the PLA troops were being affected by the energy. With their sudden movements, they will surely be able to rush to the front of the infantry of the People's Liberation Army, and then ...................
The idea was good, and the tactics of the cavalry were used against each other. It's a pity that they came across the separate brigade of the People's Liberation Army.
The Independent Brigade used a reconnaissance battalion to solve the security of the Yellow River embankment, launched an attack on Niushou Mountain with three or four infantry battalions, and used a heavy howitzer battalion and an anti-aircraft machine gun battalion to cover the attacking troops, that is to say, so far, only five battalions (reconnaissance battalion, third battalion, fourth battalion, howitzer battalion, machine gun battalion) have been taken out of the independent brigade to participate in the battle, and there are three infantry combat battalions one, two, and five, one tank battalion, and one baggage battalion that have not participated in the battle, Brigade commander Li Yong and political commissar Wang Chengde still had at least half of their troops unused.
The hooves of thousands of horses ran like drums. Everyone knew that a large group of cavalry had arrived, and a soldier who was in charge of guarding the periphery ran over: "Brigade commander, a large number of cavalry are approaching me, and the distance is about a kilometer away." ”
In fact, brigade commander Li Yong and political commissar Wang Chengde had already received the news, and the earliest news had been transmitted through the guò walkie-talkie.
The distance of about a thousand meters is only an instant for cavalry. But to their consternation, there was a huge roar from the PLA position they were about to attack, louder than the sound of thousands of war horses running together.
What's going on? What is the sound coming from the positions of the PLA? Could it be a tank? The officers and soldiers of the Ningma Army are not all wretched, and some shrewd guys can guess something from their voices, but they are immediately denied by themselves, how many tanks do you have to make such a big move?? Even if there were tanks, there wouldn't be so many of them!
Although there are doubts, but they can only continue to rush, the war horse has entered the sprint stage of strength, at this time, even if there is a sword mountain and a sea of fire in front of it, it will rush.
The distance was rapidly approaching, and the men and horses on both sides were charging, but the difference was that the Ningma army charged their elite cavalry, while the PLA Independent Brigade side charged with the armored tank battalion.
More than 100 tanks and armored vehicles, increasing horsepower, slammed the throttle and rushed head-on, the soldiers were overjoyed after receiving the order of the brigade commander Li Yong, and they were worried that there was no fight, this guy delivered the goods to the door, I really wanted to have anything, one word, cool.
The sky was dark and flickering, the line of sight was very limited, and by the moonlight, he could only see a cluster of black shadows, and he could see clearly when the distance was only a few dozen meters, and the troops that the PLA met were not infantry, but steel monsters emitting green smoke one by one.
Pulling the steering stick backwards with both hands, the accelerator pedal was slammed to the end, and the tank with its muzzle held high rumbled over, and the momentum was extremely shocking.
The two charging troops collided head-on, like two waves slapping against each other, and the waves rose into the sky, and the scene was chaotic.
What is the nature of armored forces? It is the natural nemesis of cavalry, and when a cavalry encounters an armored soldier, it is like encountering a natural enemy, and there is no way to fight it.
Crushing, ramming, and non-stop machine-gun fire, the tank battalion was like a tiger entering a flock of sheep, people turned on their backs everywhere they went, and every tank and armored vehicle opened a flesh alley with a steel body.
The cavalry of the Ningma Army slashed sparks into the steel body of the tank with their sabers, but what was the use, for in a matter of moments, these brave knights were a pile of minced meat under the tank's tracks.
Li Yuming, the instructor of the tank battalion, likes to fight this kind of battle the most, and using tanks against cavalry is simply too enjoyable, it is a one-sided massacre.
It makes sense that a tank is called the king of land warfare, and a tank is a combination of a spear and a shield, with a strong attack capability and heavy armor protection, and such a combination is perfect for dealing with cavalry.
Charge, non-stop charge, while directing the troops to penetrate deep into the enemy, they must also encircle on both sides, don't look at the PLA rushed up with only one tank battalion, but the troops of this battalion level have an overwhelming advantage in the confrontation with a cavalry brigade.
The chaotic scene only lasted for about ten minutes, and then there was a sudden rout, there was really no way, no matter how brave the cavalry met the armored troops, it could only be slaughtered, just like a tribal warrior with a kitchen knife met a modern soldier with a submachine gun, no matter how brave, he could not escape the fate of being wiped out.
Brigade commander Li Yong did not worry at all about whether the tank battalion could achieve victory, in other words, he did not take this cavalry 20th brigade into account at all, and in the contest with the armored forces, he also adopted the method of cold weapons to charge with flesh and blood, what suspense could there be in such a battle.
In the car of the battalion commander Jiang Tiexiong and instructor Li Yuming, the voice of the brigade commander Li Yong sounded at the same time: "Expand the scope of attack and search, pay attention to encircling both sides, and try to destroy the enemy as much as possible while crushing the enemy." ”
Most of the more than 100 tanks and armored vehicles of the tank battalion are old models, but these old tanks and armored vehicles also have a great advantage over ordinary infantry, and each vehicle has a wireless communication system, whether it is the American-style M4 and Stuart or the Soviet-style T26, they can use wireless communication to implement real-time command, which is already a great progress for the Northwest People's Liberation Army at that time.
On this basis, the independent brigade also equipped the battalion commander Jiang Tiexiong and instructor Li Yuming with an extra walkie-talkie, so that Jiang Tiexiong and Li Yuming could use the wireless system to command the battle while still receiving orders from their superiors.
The 20th Cavalry Brigade, which originally wanted to take advantage of the chaos to pick up a bargain, did not expect to meet its nemesis armored unit, and the two armies collided together and only held out for more than ten minutes before developing into a major rout, and the soldiers and officers turned their horses' heads and ran away on the road where they came.
The structure of the 20th brigade was disrupted, and the battle presented a one-sided rout, if it was an ordinary contest with the infantry, it would be very remarkable to be able to defeat the cavalry, and it was basically impossible to annihilate them all, because the infantry could not catch up with the speed of the cavalry anyway, but the brigade commander Li Yong would not be satisfied, of course it would not be enough to defeat it alone, didn't you see what kind of troops our independent brigade dispatched? Our PLA units also have a powerful assault capability, and the speed that the Ningma Army is proud of is no longer an advantage in front of the tanks and armored vehicles of the independent brigade.
Jiang Tiexiong and Li Yuming led the troops to go around from both sides, chasing the horse's hooves and chasing after the horses, the chaotic troops ran in all directions, and the Ma cavalry, who were busy fleeing for their lives, did not even look back, but only cared about whipping the horse's buttocks.
The view in the dark night was very bad, the periscope of the tank had a limited viewing angle, and after chasing it, the driver simply rolled up the seat and exposed half of his head. (To be continued......)
