After the 160th Brigade of the 65th Division of the Kuomintang was beaten down by the Independent Brigade, it breathed a sigh of relief, cried and shouted with the request of the division headquarters, transferred the heavy artillery regiment directly under it, and then launched another attack.

In order to be the commander of the 65th Division, Huang Zhiyu, the commander of the 160th Brigade, was also ruthless, and came to the forward position uncharacteristically to cheer up his soldiers: "Brothers, don't be afraid, everyone has seen our artillery fire, this time I asked the division seat, and transferred the heavy artillery firepower in the division, not only our brigade's howitzers, but also our division's heavy 150 mm howitzers, don't look at the communist army's anti-artillery holes, and can't stand such artillery bombardment, and so the communist army's position is flattened, You will rush up with the tanks again, and I will give orders to the tank troops when I come, and if you run back without permission, they will all be shot, brothers, and we will work harder to take down the positions of the communist troops before dark. ”

The soldiers hiding in the anti-artillery hole felt that the artillery fire of the Kuomintang army was different from the past, and there was a strange howling sound mixed with the shells that kept falling, and the explosion sound of this kind of shells landing was also different from ordinary anti-personnel grenades, and every explosion made people feel that the ground was shaking, and the anti-artillery holes were also shaken by this kind of shells and kept falling down, feeling as if they were about to collapse. If the ability of the eight roads to dig holes is the second, no one dares to say the first.

Brigadier Li Yong and Brigadier Chen Haihan in the joint command headquarters were also attracted by the explosion of this kind of artillery shell, and the two of them listened carefully, and Brigadier Chen Haihan had to understand much about battlefield experience, and Brigadier Chen Haihan, who listened for a while, told Li Yong with certainty that this is a large-caliber heavy artillery, and I don't know what the specific model is, but the caliber must be larger than the American-style 105 howitzer.

Although Li Yong does not have much battlefield experience as Brigade Commander Chen Haihan, who has fought for 20 years, our Brigadier Li Da has some strengths that others can't compare, Li Yong knows more, during the entire World War II and the later War of Liberation, the main artillery of the Kuomintang army is nothing more than that, what can be larger than the caliber of the 105 howitzer?

If there is no big difference, it is the German-made 150 mm towed howitzer, which was imported from Germany by the Kuomintang government in the early days of the Anti-Japanese War, and later after Germany and Japan became the Axis powers, this kind of materials and weapons were prohibited from being exported to China.

The most famous account of this type of artillery is probably the Songshan artillery battle between the Kuomintang Wei Lihuang and the Japanese army, when this artillery achieved overwhelming superiority.

However, the number of such weapons equipped in the Kuomintang troops at that time was also extremely rare, and there was a bigger disadvantage that the Kuomintang government at that time could not produce shells for this artillery, and every shell was transported from the Yunnan-Burma Highway through great hardships, and the Yunnan-Burma Highway had nine bends and eighteen bends, and there were little devils' planes bombing and strafing in the sky, and the losses on the way to transportation were very large, so every shell was very precious, and this weapon would not be used until the most critical time. It seems that the 65th Division of the Kuomintang is also really anxious, and has brought out all its own family resources.

Most of this small number of artillery pieces were equipped with the Kuomintang expeditionary force, but I did not expect that the 65th Division that came to the northwest from Guangdong also had this kind of weapon, which was unexpected, or Li Yong did not expect.

Gao Xiang, the commander of the artillery battalion of the Independent Brigade, always followed the brigade commander Li Yong, and the artillery battalion was the heavy firepower of the Independent Brigade, and Li Yong was reluctant to use it for a while.

Looking at Li Yong, who had not spoken all the time, the battalion commander Gao Xiang couldn't sit still: "Brigade commander, let's go, our artillery observation post has already been dispatched, and the coordinates of the enemy's artillery positions have been almost touched, and our battalion is confident that the enemy's artillery positions will be destroyed." ”

Political commissar Wang Chengde was also a little restless, this commander from the old Eighth Road was very familiar with the power of artillery, and at this time he also came over and said: "Dayong, what Gao Xiang said makes sense, our anti-artillery hole does not take this kind of high-power artillery into account, like the current large anti-artillery hole like our brigade headquarters can still resist one or two shots, and the smaller anti-artillery hole is estimated to be unable to resist a single shell, once it is hit, it will be blown up, and then let this guy bomb for a while, the casualties will be great." ”

Brigade Commander Li Yong's hand holding the telescope never let go, and observed the battlefield situation from the observation hole of the concealment department: "Lao Wang, Lao Chen (Brigade Commander Chen Haihan), don't worry, this kind of artillery is the treasure at the bottom of the box in the Kuomintang army, there are not many of them, and there are not a few shells, so it won't last long." ”

As if to verify what Li Yong said, this kind of frightening sound of shell explosions was really sparse, and only occasionally came in one or two shots.

Brigade Commander Chen Haihan took a breath of air, and this Confucian general-like brigade commander rarely scolded a foul word: "What, I thought that the Kuomintang army was equipped with this kind of artillery, and just having a cannon without shells was a thing to scare people, and it was not of much use. There weren't many shells in the Kuomintang, how did you guess? ”

Brigadier Chen Haihan's question made Wang Chengde and Gao Xiangleng pause, yes, how did the brigade commander know that the Kuomintang troops did not have many shells, and he had been with Li Yong for a long time, and he was somewhat accustomed to knowing everything about Brigadier Li, but Brigadier Chen was different, and Brigadier Chen Haihan would of course feel a little strange.

Seeing that Brigade Commander Chen Haihan was a little strange, Gao Xiang couldn't help but mutter, "How do you know?" What is this, our brigade commander knows a lot of things, and he can't explain it, just like Zhuge Liang. ”

How do you know, it looks like it from the books, but this is definitely impossible to say, our brigade commander Li said with a haha: "Lao Chen, this is nothing unusual, large-caliber shells like this cannot be produced in China, so they can only be bought from abroad, how many things can be bought from other people?" Of course, it was not enough to fight. ”

Li Yong reluctantly said this reason, and Brigade Commander Chen Haihan did not ask any more questions, at this time the sky was gradually getting dark, and after the shelling extended backwards, another assault of the Kuomintang 160 Brigade began.

Looking at the sky that was about to get dark, the brigade commander of the 160th Brigade, Huang Zhiyu, became restless, why? Because the Eighth Route is the best at night fighting, and at night it will be the world of the People's Liberation Army, and it will be difficult to break through the position of the Eighth Road.

Huang Zhiyu, who gritted his teeth and turned around a few times, finally made a ruthless heart, if he didn't succeed, he became a benevolent, and he was too timid to be a general, and he seized the last period of time when the sky was going to get dark, and he fought with the communist army, thinking of this, Huang Zhiyu shouted hoarsely in his throat: "Come on, drive me all the tanks left, no matter if there is no ammunition yet, as long as you can drive it, divide the infantry into three echelons, each regiment is an attack echelon, as long as there is one person alive, you will rush up, whoever dares to escape will be shot on the spot, The first echelon did not order the retreat and the second echelon would enforce the military law, the second echelon would retreat without authorization and the third echelon would implement the military law, and the third echelon would retreat without authorization and the team directly under the brigade headquarters would enforce the military law. ”

The 160 Brigade is going to make a desperate bet, and it is no wonder that Huang Zhiyu is in a hurry, in the entire 65th Division, the strength of the 160 Brigade is much better than the other two brigades, not only the artillery firepower, but also the tank troops directly under the brigade, which is very rare in the general Kuomintang troops, Huang Zhiyu is also a close confidant of the division commander Li Zhen, according to Li Zhen's psychology, he also wants him to be the division commander, so he transferred all the divisional artillery.

There were twenty or thirty tanks, followed by a large number of infantry, and they rushed up like they were desperate for a while before dark, and it was impossible to see how many there were.

Li Yuming, the commander of the guard company who had returned to his unit, begged by Li Yong's side: "Brigade commander, do you want our tanks to rush up and fight the enemy, why let them be so rampant." ”

Li Yong turned his head and glared at Li Yuming: ", how many tanks do you have in total?" What is the caliber of your tank gun? Have you thought about these questions? A commander always thinks that it is not a good thing to fight hard with the enemy, and after the battle, write a copy of the examination and hand it to the political commissar. ”

There is a reason why Li Yong trained Li Yuming in this way, the independent brigade has only eight Stuarts, the main gun caliber of this tank is only 37 mm, and the armor-piercing ability is limited, and it is okay to deal with infantry and lightly armored targets, but it is difficult to deal with the main battle tank.

The artillery is not allowed to be used, the tanks are not allowed to be used, and the infantry anti-tank group at the forefront will be used to deal with the enemy's tanks, because of the good performance of the last time, the current independent brigade anti-tank team has brought two more soldiers from the teaching brigade to let them learn the operation techniques of the rocket launcher.

The soldiers of the Teaching Brigade had had enough of the hardships of using people to send explosives upwards, and at this time, they all excitedly discussed with the soldiers of the Independent Brigade whether to let them also fire one or two shots, but just watching them was not enjoyable.

The fighters of the anti-tank group felt that this request made by the people of the teaching brigade was indeed necessary, and it was not as good as saying it ten times as well as fighting it with their own hands.

In this way, most of the anti-tank groups at the forefront were replaced by fighters from the teaching brigade, and the veteran shooters taught them hand in hand.

"Keep your hands steady, don't panic, calculate the distance, aim well, and prepare to fire."
