Chapter 365: The Battle of Libei is waiting for you
Li Yong, the brigade commander who was marching rapidly, was surprised by the increasingly sparse gunfire and grenade explosions on the frontline position, and asked Zhang Jinsong, the commander of the reconnaissance battalion, to send some people to go up to see the situation first.

Although it is a mechanized march, but the troops are large, and the road conditions are not good, the speed still cannot get up, and the four-wheel drive off-road jeep is much better, which is just right to deal with this kind of road condition.
More than a dozen fighters of the reconnaissance battalion broke away from the large unit with a walkie-talkie, rushed to the brigade headquarters of the teaching brigade as quickly as possible, and ran to the hidden department of the brigade command post under the guidance of the soldiers of the teaching brigade.
The concealment department was cold and empty, it didn't look like a brigade-level headquarters at all, if it weren't for the soldiers of the teaching brigade to lead the way, Ning Erzi would have thought that this was just a front-line observation post.
There were only two people guarding a phone inside, and Ning Erzi, the platoon commander who led the reconnaissance battalion, shouted anxiously: "Which one is Brigadier Chen Haihan." ”
The two soldiers guarding the phone looked at Ning Erzi suspiciously and asked, "What part are you from?" What's the matter with our brigade commander? ”
"From the reconnaissance battalion of the independent brigade of the second column, we are ordered by the headquarters to support your brigade, the brigade will arrive soon, take me to Brigade Commander Chen."
The eyes of the two soldiers who were looking at the phone immediately lit up: "My God, it can be regarded as a reinforcement, the brigade commander and the political commissar have gone to the forward position, I will take you to find it." ”
Brigade Commander Chen, who was lying shirtless on the trench like the soldiers, heard someone behind him shouting anxiously, and when he looked back, a staff officer and several soldiers who had stayed behind at the brigade headquarters walked over quickly.
Ning Erzi trotted all the way to Brigade Commander Chen Haihan, raised his hand and saluted and reported: "Report to the chief, Ning Erzi, the platoon commander of the first platoon of the reconnaissance battalion of the Second Column Independent Brigade, is here by order, please instruct." ”
Brigade Commander Chen Haihan let out a sigh of relief: "What instructions are not instructed, just come, how far is the main force of your brigade from here?" ”
"Report to the chief, there are still a few kilometers away, and our entire brigade is marching by car, and it will be there soon."
After listening to Ning Erzi's report, Brigade Commander Chen nodded thoughtfully, and muttered: "Damn, it's all car marching, and the independent brigade is getting better and better." ”
Ten minutes later, there was the sound of car motors behind the position, and the men and horses of the Independent Brigade arrived, and Li Yong and Wang Chengde followed the soldiers who led the way to the front-line position at the forefront of the teaching brigade.
Brigade Commander Chen Haihan, who saw Li Yong and Wang Chengde, was so happy that he almost jumped out of the trench, and each gave him a hug: "You two boys came too timely, if I came a little later, I would really go to see Marx and his old man." ”
The shirtless Brigade Commander Chen was all covered with dirt, and Li Yong and Wang Chengde, who were rubbed by Brigade Commander Chen Haihan, saluted and shouted loudly like Ning Erzi, although both of them are brigade commanders at the first level like Brigade Commander Chen Haihan, but Brigade Commander Chen Haihan's qualifications are too old, don't look at his age, but he is a figure at the same level as Brigade Commander Chen of the Fourth Brigade of the old unit of the Second Column Independent Brigade, and it is appropriate to shout the chief.
(In order to make a difference with Li Yong's old chief, Brigade Commander Chen of the Second Column and the Fourth Brigade of the Second Column, most of the time he mentions Brigade Commander Chen Haihan is written with his full name, and Brigade Commander Chen of the Fourth Brigade is also a famous figure, which will be introduced later)
Brigadier Chen Haihan took the hands of the two of them down: "You two boys, what are you shouting nonsense, you are the brigade commander and political commissar when you are as old as me, and what are you shouting chief, don't talk nonsense." ”
This is the second time that the Independent Brigade has fought side by side with the Teaching Brigade, and the first time was when it was dealing with the 82nd Division of the Majia Army outside Baoji City.
During the war years, rolling in a trench once is an old comrade-in-arms, a big battle has not been honored is also a fateful friendship, the old Red Army people are not so particular, Li Yong knew the character of Brigade Commander Chen Haihan, put his hand down and shouted Lao Chen with a smile, and then asked how the situation of the troops was?
Brigade Commander Chen Haihan took Li Yong's hand, pointed to the front of the position and said: "Dayong, the situation of our brigade is not very good, the casualties are very large, the enemy on the opposite side is the 65th Division of the Kuomintang, which has just been put into battle, the officers and soldiers are sufficient, the attack team is good, and the firepower configuration is good, especially the main force of the 160th Brigade, which is what we can see, the few troops that dare to play with their lives are a great threat to us, all the bullets and grenades of our teaching brigade are gone, and now all that is left in our hands is a limited number of explosive packs, This was intended to deal with the enemy's tanks, which were never willing to be thrown out, and as soon as the enemy's shelling ended, a massive infantry charge began. ”
Li Yong was a little bitter after listening to Brigade Commander Chen Haihan's introduction, our soldiers are so good that they have not complained in the face of difficulties, but the logistics supply is indeed too backward, and the front-line combat units are reluctant to even use explosives bags, and if the ammunition of the teaching brigade is more sufficient, many good soldiers will be sacrificed.
While Li Yong, Wang Chengde, and Brigade Commander Chen Haihan were talking, they heard a rumbling roar and the sound of crawlers crushing the ground from a distance, and then some black shadows drove out from the starting position of the 65th Division of the Kuomintang.
Brigade Commander Chen Haihan shouted: "The enemy's tanks are coming, the whole brigade is paying attention and preparing for battle." Hearing the order of the brigade commander, the soldiers of the teaching brigade took out the small number of explosives bags that had been left behind and were not willing to use them as treasures, and formed countless demolition teams, lying in various trenches, ready to rush up to carry out the blasting when the tanks were near. ”
Employing people to rush up and fight with the steel-clad tanks, casualties are inevitable, especially the cluster tanks that are followed by the infantry, it is not easy to get close, this is no way, the teaching brigade did not relax because of the arrival of Li Yong and others, or focus on itself, how to fight the battle and how to fight, and you can't count on reinforcements for everything.
Li Yong was very touched by the behavior of Brigade Commander Chen Haihan and the soldiers of the Teaching Brigade, and looking at the soldiers who were preparing to fight with the enemy with bayonets, Li Yong said to Brigade Commander Chen Haihan: "Old Chen, your brigade has been fighting for almost a day, can you hand it over to us now?" You're watching, and if we can't deal with you, we'll go up. ‘
Brigade Commander Chen Haihan knew that Li Yong was saying kind words, and this was also for his own troops, if he continued to fight, the casualties of the teaching brigade would be a bit unbearable, and he didn't know when he would have to wait until he wanted to recover.
"Dayong, what you kid said, just do as you say, let's watch the excitement on the side, and by the way, we will also learn from you to see how the independent brigade fights."
With the consent of Brigade Commander Chen Haihan, Li Yong picked up the microphone of the walkie-talkie and shouted loudly in a long voice: "Order, the first, second, third, fourth, fifth, and five infantry battalions quickly enter the position, take over the defense of the comrades of the teaching brigade, and prepare for battle." ”
The five infantry battalions of the Independent Brigade, numbering more than 4,000 people, took over the defense of the teaching brigade as quickly as possible.
The first battalion commander Li Jiangguo, the second battalion commander Ma Quanyou, the third battalion commander Ma Changsheng, the fourth battalion commander Ning Jinshan, and the fifth battalion commander Wang Laohu were all running back and forth on their respective troop positions, and they kept shouting: "You can see it all, the brigade commander has used all five of our infantry battalions together, and is working hand in hand against the Kuomintang. ”
The five battalion commanders invariably wanted to compete on the battlefield to see which battalion had the best fight and which battalion had the greatest results, and they also used the individual bazooka as a sharp weapon against tanks.
The bazooka is a common anti-tank weapon for infantry, and it is also the standard equipment in the later troops, but now the independent brigade does not meet this standard, but after several major battles, it is not a rare thing.
Everyone wants good things, there is a virtuous circle here, the more battles are won, the greater the capture, the greater the capture, the stronger the combat effectiveness of the troops, the stronger the combat effectiveness of the troops, the easier it is to win the next battle, coupled with the special care of Commander Wang, and the unscrupulous scramble of the brigade commander, the weapons and equipment of the independent brigade are much better than those of the brother troops, so as soon as the bazooka is taken out, the soldiers of the teaching brigade are envious, and everyone squeezes up to see the freshness, and some soldiers also say that they want to study hard, In the future, we will also seize a few more of these treasures.
The attacking forces of the 65th Division of the Kuomintang were getting closer and closer, with tanks in front and a large number of infantry behind, and the infantry hid behind the tanks, howling and charging upwards.
When shelving training or exercises, no one wants to follow behind the butt of the tank, the battlefield environment, not a cement road, and the tank tracks during World War II are not like modern tanks are glued, so as soon as the tank starts, the dust behind the tank and the smoke coming out of the engine are like an earth dragon, and there is no clean place in the whole body wrapped in this earth dragon, and I can't even breathe.
But now it is clear that none of the Kuomintang soldiers are afraid of getting dirty and out of breath, and they are all wrapped in this earth dragon and running forward behind the tank.
What does it matter if you can't breathe, it's true that you don't get killed by the Eighth Route Army on the opposite side, no matter how powerful the bullets of the communist army are, they can't penetrate the tank, as long as they can't penetrate the tank's own life, it's no problem.
It was closer, closer to the position of the Eighth Route Army, but there was still no movement on the position, and the Kuomintang soldiers looked at each other in confusion, and some even asked: "Why don't you shoot at the Eighth Route Army?" ”
