Chapter Seventy-Nine: The Battle of Yulin II

Dozens of light machine guns fired a salvo, bullets kept drilling through the holes, and puffs of white smoke rose from the bullets around the holes, and the machine guns in the pillboxes stopped at once.

The officers in the big bunker shouted hard to let their soldiers change the shooter, but it was easy to say, but it was difficult to do, one went up and was smashed by a bullet, and another went up before a few shots were fired and the head was broken, and no one dared to go up after changing a few in a row, and the soldiers were pushing and shoving others to get on, and it was useless to be an official at this time, who would do the work of sending him to death, and you officials would like you to go.

When the time is calculated in minutes, especially when you want to carry out a fire blockade, if you are a little sluggish, people will come up, and the officers in the bunker are anxious when they see that no soldiers are willing to change the shooter, and they rush up without firing, take out a pistol and point it at a soldier's head and say: "***, you're afraid of death, right, can't you go up?" If not, I'll kill you now. ”

This soldier really has no choice, and if he doesn't go up, he will be shot, so he has to walk forward slowly, to put it slowly, in fact, it is a minute or two of work, but this is enough time for a minute or two, and the soldiers of the second regiment outside are waiting for such an opportunity.

The scene of the machine-gun salvo suddenly made the soldiers of the attacking unit look stupid, their company only has a total of three light machine guns, and the bullets are still very few, and they usually treat them as if they were treasures.

Seeing that his soldiers were enjoying watching, the company commander shouted angrily: "What are you watching? Silly? Five demolition teams for me to go up with, do you hear me, hurry up. ”

In the roar of the company commander, the soldiers rushed up, Li Yong watched the soldiers skillfully paste a large explosive bag on the bunker, several were stacked under each bunker, and the first few blasting groups were sacrificed on the way, and the soldiers were really anxious, isn't your bunker big, this time give you a few more, see if you are still hard, pull the fuse and quickly roll down, followed by an earth-shattering explosion.

The five large pillboxes blocking the way of progress rose to the sky in the sound of explosions, and the guns and human bodies inside also flew into the air with the smoke, and the attacking troops rushed forward with shouts of killing.

The enemy behind the pillbox saw that the strong fortifications were blown up, the Eighth Route Army killed them with bayonets, and ran back screaming, Li Yong led the troops to follow behind the sharp knife company, and from time to time the fleeing Kuomintang soldiers were knocked down by bullets, and the troops had no combat effectiveness when they ran, and you rushed back to talk about fighting.

Li Yuming, Sanniu and Xiaocheng leaned closely in front of Li Yong, not letting him run in front, nor letting him run too fast, Li Yong's heart was very moved, what a good soldier, what a good brother, people only have one life, your Li Yong's life is life, isn't the life of a few of them a life?

Li Yuming and several people used their bodies to shield the bullets and shrapnel that might come from them, and Li Yong watched as he drove the enemy into several independent large courtyards, and the group of enemies immediately closed the gate after entering the courtyard, and then climbed the wall to shoot and throw grenades at the outside.

The commander of the Kuomintang team also knew that it was not okay to be chased, so he fled into several large courtyards to resist, as long as he could stabilize the troops.

Li Yong looked at it, heh, it was quite stubborn, and asked the soldier to call the company commander of the sharp knife company, and the company commander ran over and said: "Battalion Commander Li, our company listens to your command, do you have any good solutions?" ”

Li Yong smiled and said: "You see that this group of enemies is really stubborn, the officers who lead the team are not given in vain, if we rush up, we will suffer, and we will not do stupid things." ”

Then he shouted to Gao Xiang who came over: "Four courtyards, one for each squad, ten rounds per cannon, smash it for me, and see if their heads are hard or our shells are hard." ”

The soldiers of the artillery platoon have long had itchy palms, because a large number of war horses were captured, and this time they brought more shells than before, and the artillery platoon brought some of them, and the baggage platoon also helped them bring some, and now Gao Xiang spoke much louder, not like when he was in Longdong.

The soldiers of the artillery platoon quickly adjusted the gun positions under the command of Gao Xiang, which was the advantage of the mortar, which could advance with the attack of the troops.

Under the astonished gaze of the soldiers of the Sharp Knife Company, the three small cannons of each squad were aimed at a courtyard and fired continuously, and 30 shells made a sharp cry, and in a very short period of time smashed into a courtyard, 30 rounds in one courtyard, and 120 shells in four large courtyards.

In the past, several mortars in the regiment only had a dozen shells per cannon, and every time they fired a shot, the gunners were distressed and frightened.

After the artillery platoon finished firing, Li Yong said to the stunned soldiers of the Sharp Knife Company: "It's okay, go and take a look, and see if there is any breathing." ”

The soldiers of the Sharp Knife Company and the soldiers of the first and second platoons rushed into several compounds together, and the company commander of the Sharp Knife Company ran over without much effort: "Battalion Commander Li, it's about the same as you estimated, basically there is nothing to breathe, and the shells have been blown up, it's so enjoyable to fight with you, as soon as you come up, our company didn't have a single casualty, thank you so much this time." ”

Li Yong patted the company commander on the shoulder: "They are all their own comrades, what is there to be thankful for, if you can't take this position, we have to take it, this is what we should do, tell the soldiers of your company to clean up the battlefield well, you can take away all the useful ones, we don't need these things." ”

The company commander also knew that the special service battalion could not look down on these rags, and led his soldiers to happily pick up the weapons and ammunition that had not been damaged, although most of the weapons and ammunition were damaged, but the Eighth Route Army was poor, and it was better to be able to pick a little bit than to catch nothing.

Through the close cooperation of the fraternal units, the soldiers of the 4th Brigade compressed the enemy of this regiment from the large desert on all sides of Sanchawan to a small nearby village, and under the onslaught of our troops on all sides, it took less than two hours to completely eliminate the enemy.

After the battle, Regiment Commander Zhao walked down from the sand beam with several regimental personnel, Li Yong pointed to several broken pillboxes on the sand beam and said: "Regiment commander, it took a little effort to attack these pillboxes, the terrain is unfavorable to us, and the enemy of this regiment is very stubborn, and the casualties of the sharp knife company are not small." ”

Commander Zhao said: "Let you not participate in the attack, why don't you listen to the command?" Li Yong replied: "Regiment Commander, I couldn't control myself when I saw the casualties of our Sharp Knife Company at that time, I will definitely pay attention to it next time." ”

While talking, the stretcher team composed of the villagers came over, Commander Zhao and Li Yong hurriedly walked over, and the health officer who led the team told Commander SΓΉ that most of the wounded were cadres and soldiers of the first battalion who served as the main attacker, Commander Zhao looked at it and waved his hand, and the hygienist led the stretcher to the operating room.

The battalion that served as the main attack suffered heavy casualties, the battalion commander and the instructor were wounded, Regiment Commander Zhao's brows furrowed again, the two main commanders of a battalion were all seriously injured, and it was necessary to observe whether the commander who was temporarily replaced could shoulder the burden for a while, but the troops were immediately facing a big battle, and there was no time for them to run in, which was another troublesome matter.

Regiment Commander Zhao looked at the stretcher team that was moving faster and faster, and said to Li Yong: "Dayong, your support is of great use to the heavy machine gun barrels in the regiment, the firepower of our regiment is too weak, fighting a fortified battle and guerrilla warfare are not the same thing, and it is too much of a loss if the firepower is not good." ”

Li Yong: "Regiment commander, we still have some ammunition for the Type 92 heavy machine gun, wait a minute, I'll ask Lao Sun to send someone to send some to each company." Head Zhao just nodded and didn't say anything more.

Carrying the wounded on a stretcher is also knowledgeable, the battlefield is full of dead and wounded, the stretcher team has no time to confirm the situation of the wounded, can only catch one and carry it back, when lifting down, try to distinguish the wounded on the stretcher whether they are alive or dead, the sacrificed soldier rushes forward when he lifts his head, and the wounded who are alive rush back, if you still have a breath, but it is considered dead, then it is bad, it will delay the rescue time, maybe it will be really glorious.

Li Yong, who was walking side by side with the regiment commander, looked at the stretcher and said: "Regiment commander, I am not optimistic about our field army's attack on Yulin this time, you see our regiment, if the plain field battle is okay, and there is still a lack of means to attack a strong position, a strongly fortified big city like Yulin is much more difficult to fight than a three-way bend, and the time is not yet ripe for our attack, and we will suffer a loss if we work hard." ”

Li Yong paused and said, "Commander, I also said these words at the headquarters. ”

Regiment Commander Zhao looked at Li Yong: "To be honest, Dayong, I also think that the time is not ripe to attack Yulin, but you have said everything that should be said, as for what to do, it is the business of the leaders, you and I are only commanders at the battalion and regiment level, and there is no way to interfere with the decision-making of the superiors." ”

"What we have to do now is to reorganize the troops, do our best to make all preparations before the attack on Yulin, and try all kinds of ways to make the troops suffer fewer losses.

Speaking of this, Regiment Commander Zhao thought for a while and then continued: "Don't think that the reserve team is very good, I have a premonition that this battle will be very difficult, you must be prepared for a tough battle, and you must go up at a critical moment, your battalion has fought well, but almost all of them are smooth battles, and you have not encountered any hard nails, you and Wang Chengde should be flexible in their heads and be mentally prepared when it is difficult." ”

"Knowing the regiment commander, we are making preparations in this regard, each platoon has prepared a large number of explosives packages, and if it really doesn't work, use explosives to open the way."
