Chapter 489: Battle of Wushan County, Lanzhou

After the end of the Guguan battle, the Independent Brigade acted as the vanguard of the whole corps as the vanguard of the whole corps and advanced for the entire corps in accordance with the order of the commander of the corps

For this reason, the confidence of the independent brigade was overflowing, and the commander alone took it out to open the way for the entire corps, what a great honor must it be?

The cadres and soldiers of the independent brigade on the march were very good, and some old soldiers who loved to talk such as Li Jiangguo, the commander of the first battalion, introduced the new soldiers one after another. It shows that our brigade is the main force in the main force, the trump card of the trump card, and the most trustworthy unit in the eyes of the chief.

As the commander of the first brigade, Li Yong also had a sense of accomplishment at this time, looking at the troops wading in front of him and behind him, Brigade Commander Li did not hide his pride.

If you should be happy, you should be happy, there is nothing to hide, the independent brigade is no longer a special service company with only a few dozen people and more than 20 guns, but the main combat unit of the field army with a strong strike capability.

At this time, the Kuomintang troops in the Northwest Theater had been suppressed to death by the large forces of the Northwest Field Army of the People's Liberation Army, and the independent brigade that was attacking forward under the order of Commander Wang had to deal with only some local Kuomintang troops and remnants of the armed forces.

Officially because of this, Brigade Commander Li Yong's mood also relaxed, and the nerves that had been tense for many days were slightly relaxed, and Brigade Commander Li had the opportunity to tease Li Jia, the beautiful girl next to him, from time to time, which can be regarded as a kind of adjustment to relax the nerves after the war.

Brigade Commander Li felt that he was in a good mood, and the mentality of Li Jia, the commander of the guard company, was also very good, the troops had won a big victory, and everyone was very happy, but while he was happy, he was also a little worried about whether he would cause any misunderstanding among the health captain Hu Xiaolian, no matter what, Hu Xiaolian was also the wife of the brigade commander recognized by the cadres and soldiers in the brigade, although she was not married, but it was almost the same as the official one.

Li Yongzhi didn't think about it so much, who can figure out the hearts of a woman's family? If you don't understand it, just don't think about it, during the war, fighting a war is the first priority, and other things that are long in love and heroic in breath should stand aside.

From time to time, Li Yong, who was in the jeep, used a walkie-talkie to give various orders to the advancing troops: "Increase the search area, open up the marching troops, Zhang Jinsong, expand the reconnaissance distance by a few more kilometers, and don't let go of a suspicious target." ”

Li Yong's purpose in doing this was to prevent a small group of enemy armed forces from shooting cold shots at the marching troops of the Independent Brigade, although the lethality of the cold guns is not great, and it will also bring trouble to the independent brigades on the march, but it is possible that Li Yong has thought too much, and along the way, he has not found any armed forces that dare to shoot cold guns at the troops of the People's Liberation Army, but it is always right to be prepared and be more careful.

At noon on that day, Zhang Jinsong, commander of the reconnaissance battalion, came to report that the forward unit of the Independent Brigade was still 10 kilometers away from the county seat of Wushan.

Wushan, located in the southeast of Gansu Province, the upper reaches of the Wei River, although the city is not big, but has a long history, according to historical records, has a history of construction and development of more than 1,800 years, is a very old small city, to Wushan even officially entered the Gansu boundary.

After listening to Zhang Jinsong's report, Li Yong felt a shock in his spirit, Wushan County was the first target to be attacked by the field army for the First Corps, and now the independent brigade has another battle to fight, which also saves these guys from being confused in the car all day long.

"Quickly find out the enemy's situation, order the troops to prepare for battle, advance at full speed, and surround the county town of Wushan."

The speed of the troops' march immediately increased, and the soldiers who were languishing in the car immediately became refreshed when they heard that there was a battle to be fought, and after a short time, the second report of the reconnaissance battalion came up again, according to intelligence, there was originally a Kuomintang local security regiment with an organization of more than 600 people in Wushan County, which was mainly equipped with old-fashioned rifles and a small number of Czech-style light machine guns, and had no heavy weapons.

At noon, it was time to eat, but the brigade of the Independent Brigade rushed to the outside of Wushan County in a murderous manner, and the Independent Brigade of more than 11,000 people surrounded Wushan County like an iron bucket.

The order given by the Field Army Headquarters to the First Corps was to go around behind Lanzhou through Wushan and Longxi, cut off the retreat route of the Qingma Army back to Qinghai, and strive to completely annihilate the main force of the Qingma Army in the Lanzhou Campaign and completely solve the northwest problem.

On the march route of the First Corps, the first target to be attacked was this Wushan county town, and if the normal operating procedures were followed, the independent brigade would have to stop and wait for orders from its superiors and carry out various actions against the enemy according to the instructions of its superiors, but Li Yong believed that it would be too pedantic for an independent brigade of more than 10,000 people to wait for instructions from a local security regiment with only a few hundred people, and that waiting for instructions for everything would be tantamount to delaying the fighters.

"Order the tank battalion to attack in close quarters and destroy the enemy's frontal fortifications."

Under the orders of the brigade commander Li Yong, the tank battalion, under the leadership of Li Yuming and Jiang Tiexiong, drove until it was only one or two hundred meters away from the city wall before stopping, and then the turret rotated and bombarded the city wall at close range with the seven-five-millimeter main gun on the M4 tank.

The city wall of Wushan County is not high, and it cannot be compared with a big city like Xi'an, but no matter what, the city wall is always a city wall, and there is no way to deal with ordinary infantry light weapons, even if it is a tank battalion, there are not many weapons that can be used, because most of the tank battalions of the independent brigade are mainly American-style M3 tanks, and the main gun caliber of the M3 tank is only 37 mm, and the power of using 37 guns to deal with the city wall is a little smaller, Li Yuming and Jiang Tiexiong also know the characteristics of their own weapons. So as soon as he came up, he first used the main gun of the M4 tank to aim at the city wall and bombarded it.

In terms of the power of the weapon, it has to be said that it is Gao Xiang's heavy howitzer battalion, but Li Yong does not want to beat this thousand-year-old city into ashes with a single artillery fire, in addition, once the howitzer battalion is used, there is no way to protect the lives of the people in the city, and the tank battalion is different, the artillery on the tank is a cannon that can be directly aimed, and the impact point of the bullet can be accurately controlled, so that the loss of the people in the city can be effectively avoided.

It can be said that the use of tank units to carry out an imclose attack on Wushan County is still based on deterrence, to put it bluntly, it is a psychological tactic, and the ultimate goal is to let the local security regiment of the Kuomintang go out of the city and surrender is the best policy, just as the so-called siege of the city is the bottom, and the attack on the heart is the top, and the tank battalion is used to show the strong combat effectiveness of the PLA, dispel the enemy's resistance psychology, and avoid unnecessary casualties.

The accurate tank artillery fire blew the city gate to shreds, killing all the people who dared to show their heads on the city wall, and then Li Yong ordered the tank battalion to stop the attack, shout to the city, and give them half an hour to go out of the city and surrender, otherwise they will all be wiped out.

The PLA propaganda team members hid behind the tanks with iron loudspeakers, and began to shout to the Kuomintang security regiment in Wushan County after the tank fire stopped.

"Officers and men of Jiang listen, we are the First Field Army of the Chinese People's Liberation Army, we have come to liberate Wushan County on the orders of our superiors, give you half an hour to prepare, immediately go out of the city and surrender, and after half an hour all those who still resist will be eliminated, as long as you go out of the city and surrender, our People's Liberation Army will guarantee the safety of your lives and property, and if you are willing to do anything with us, we welcome, and our People's Liberation Army who is unwilling to become a soldier will pay you money to go home."

This is a two-pronged approach of political and military affairs, first using military means to exert strong pressure, and then using political means to break the enemy's fighting spirit, which is also an old traditional tactic of the PLA, although this Kuomintang local security regiment has only about 600 people, but Li Yong does not have any contempt for it.

** said that it is necessary to "despise the enemy strategically and attach importance to the enemy tactically," the enemy strength in Wushan County is very weak, but once it enters the city and fights with the enemy in the streets, it will also bring losses to the independent brigade, this is the purpose of Li Yong to find a way to get the enemy out of the city and surrender and avoid street fighting with the enemy, not that the independent brigade does not dare to fight street battles, but there is no need to pay too much price for this small county town.

Street fighting in the city is a permanent topic, not to mention in the 21st century, which is a headache for powerful attackers, so it is better to avoid it as much as possible.

(The buildings in the city can effectively offset the line of sight of the attacker and the power of heavy weapons, street fighting is a very effective tactic for the weak side to deal with a strong enemy, in the first Chechen campaign, a Russian tank brigade was wiped out in the city by the Chechen opposition armed with rudimentary infantry anti-tank weapons, and its main anti-tank weapon is a single bazooka, similar to the most commonly used squad with four zero fire in our Chinese infantry)

Hu Zongnan is finished, Ma Hongkui ran away, and even the Qingma Army, which had reached the extreme, ran back to Lanzhou, what strength can they have to confront the large forces of the People's Liberation Army? Whoever fights is looking for death, and the soldiers of the security regiment in the city almost knelt on the ground and kowtowed to their ancestors in the face of the large PLA troops surrounding them, where is there any resistance mentality.

A soldier hurriedly ran to the regimental headquarters of the security regiment in the city: "Report-report, regiment-regiment, the tanks of the People's Liberation Army are about to drive to the front of the city building, and the city gate has been blown up with a few shots, and now they are shouting for us to surrender, and dozens of brothers on the city wall have been killed, you can quickly get an idea." ”

The head of the sweaty security regiment asked, "How many people can the communist army have?" How many tanks are there? ”

"I can't see how many people can't see it, anyway, there are many tanks around Wushan County, at least there are hundreds."

The soldier's answer almost scared the head of the security regiment to his stomach, hundreds of tanks? What does that have to be? ** Commander Hu Zongnan's troops could not have hundreds of tanks, can this be true: "What the hell are you talking nonsense, how can the communist army have hundreds of tanks?" ”
