After the brigade of the Northwest Field Army set out from Jingbian, it continued to the east, and walked for more than three days, and on this day they arrived at Hengshan County, south of the Great Wall and east of Jingbian, and after arriving at Hengshan, Li Yong knew in his heart that the purpose of the Northwest Field Army's attack on Yulin had not changed, and his arrival had not changed history.

Later, I thought about it, how could the trajectory of history change lightly, and I was just a battalion-level cadre in this world, and my hopes were still too great.

At the meeting at the battalion headquarters, Li Yong asked all platoons to make preparations for battle, especially explosive packs and ladders and other things to be prepared in advance, and the troops should also pay close attention to practicing various techniques for attacking fortified positions in the field during the march.

After a short rest in Hengshan, the Northwest Field Army, which had been marching continuously, came to the vicinity of Yulin, and the battle for the outer positions of Yulin immediately began, and Li Yong's second column was responsible for attacking Sanchawan, which was only about 20 miles away from Yulin, and the main force attacking Sanchawan was Li Yong and his second column and fourth brigade.

There was a regiment defending the enemy in this Sancha Bay, and dozens of large pillboxes were repaired on the gentle desert, and the sub-mother forts were staggered, connected with each other by communication ditches, and the personnel could support back and forth.

The wind swept the yellow sand so that people could not open their eyes, the sound of gunfire, artillery, and the explosion of grenades rang out, and the attack of the fourth brigade began.

Li Yong's special service battalion waited for orders in the rear as a regimental reserve, and in the past, when the second regiment was fighting, because it had to leave one battalion as a reserve, it could only use two battalions to attack, but this time with the special service battalion, Regiment Commander Zhao took out all the previous three basic battalions and used them in the attack position on the first line, and the intensity of the attack was greatly strengthened.

The old second regiment now has four main battalions, and Li Yong's special service battalion has more than 800 people, which is equivalent to two battalions of other troops, which makes Commander Zhao feel very confident, and he uses three battalions to attack, and he has more reserves than other troops, and the weapons and equipment are better than other teams, which is why the brigade headquarters made the second regiment the main attack force.

Listening to the fierce shouts of the attacking troops and the red flags that appeared from time to time in the yellow sand, Li Yong felt that his blood was boiling, but he also knew that the battle was not easy to fight, our troops were born in guerrilla warfare, there were not enough firearms, and they were still studying to attack the fortified positions, and the tuition fees paid were the blood and lives of the soldiers.

When Head Zhao saw Li Yong walking in, he asked, "What's wrong, Dayong?" Can't sit still? Your battalion is the reserve of our regiment, and you cannot be used until the last moment. ”

Li Yong said: "Regiment commander, our regiment's suppressive firepower is not enough, the attacking troops will suffer heavy casualties, I will take two platoons up, one platoon has 16 light machine guns, two platoons have 32, I will bring the mortar platoon over, and carry out targeted elimination of places where our firepower cannot reach, we do not participate in the attack, just as a fire cover for the attacking troops, I only bring three platoons over, and the other troops are led by instructors and serve as reserves, and we can't delay your order, do you think this is okay?" ”

Commander Zhao thought for a while and said to Li Yong: "Okay, just do it, remember, don't take it lightly to participate in the attack, our regiment has not yet reached a critical time, and your battalion is the last hole card in my hand." ”

Li Yong said: "You can rest assured, head of the regiment." Then he turned to Sanniu and Xiaocheng and said, "Let the first and second rows and artillery platoons run over." ”

It didn't take long, Li Jiangguo, Ma Quanyou and Gao Xiang ran over with the troops, followed by the twenty people of the police squad, Sanniu and Xiaocheng secretly said to Li Yuming: "Squad leader, the instructor has explained, if our battalion commander has something three long and two short, he will want a few of our heads." ”

Li Yuming said in a low voice: "Then it goes without saying, if something goes wrong with the battalion commander, I don't need the instructor to find me, I will solve it myself, or what's the use of our police squad?" ”

Under the concerned gaze of the regiment commander, Li Yong led the troops to run and rush forward, and after ten minutes they arrived at the forefront of the attacking troops, only to see that an attacking unit of our army was suppressed by the machine-gun fire in the enemy's pillbox and could not raise its head on the gentle desert.

There are several large pillboxes built on the earthen bags less than 100 meters in front, the location of these pillboxes is very good, the terrain is not very high, but it just jams the line of the attack troops, and the pillboxes and pillboxes have formed a cross fire, from the gun hole to the outside of the fire snake, our attack force is a company, only a heavy machine gun and a few light machine guns can not confront the enemy, the fire is intermittent.

Li Yong climbed to the side of the company commander of this sharp knife company, and the company commander turned around and saw that it was Li Yong and hurriedly said: "Battalion Commander Li, why did you come up, isn't your battalion a reserve?" ”

Li Yong didn't answer why, but just asked the company commander, "How is it?" The company commander replied: "It's not very good, our company's firepower can't suppress the machine guns in the pillbox, just a heavy machine gun was given by you a few days ago, and the explosives can't be delivered, it's all desert here, the terrain is too flat, there is no terrain that can be used, you can't rush up from the front, there is no terrain and features on both sides that can be used, and several blasting teams have been sacrificed on the way, and there have been more than ten casualties." ”

Li Yong discussed with the company commander: "Do you think this is okay? I will suppress the enemy's fire for you, and you will do the blasting, I am not afraid that my troops will have casualties, our regiment commander said that we will not be allowed to go up until the critical moment. ”

The company commander said happily: "Battalion Commander Li, what can't be figured out about this, you can suppress the enemy's firepower, and leave other things to our company, Battalion Commander Li, you can take charge of the command." ”

Li Yong turned around and said to Li Jiangguo and Ma Quanyou: "Have you seen a few big pillboxes in front, transfer all the light machine guns of your two platoons, two light machine guns block one gun hole, block all the gun holes, isn't the enemy machine gun fire very fierce, this time let them see what firepower is." ”

Thirty-two light machine guns from the first and second platoons that received the order were immediately set up and opened fire together at the sound of Li Yong's command, and the salvo of thirty-two light machine guns was spectacular, and every two machine guns fired non-stop fire at one gun hole.

The magazine capacity of the Czech light machine gun is twenty rounds, a good shooter can shoot six to seven points with three bursts, the accuracy of the Czech style is very good, but the disadvantage is that the magazine capacity is smaller, and frequent replacement of the magazine will cause the firepower to be interrupted, Li Yong can overcome this shortcoming by blocking one gun hole with two Czech guns, but this tactic can only be used by the special service company in the second regiment, and other companies cannot take out such machine guns to fire together.
