The Last Jin Army (10)
"Machine gun cover, bayonet, demolition team to follow, blow the trumpet, attack!" Wang Jinshan, who received the order to attack, continued to carry forward the spirit of a madman and personally charged forward with a machine gun! "Fire!" Liu Hai gave the order, and the artillery of the two regiments began to roar, and one shell after another accurately smashed on the defender's position. "Give it to me!" The commander of a battalion under Wu Fatzi led his subordinates to push cannons and charge with the troops! "Dangdang!" A dozen bullets hit the shield of the cannon! "Damn, you dare to shoot at such a big cannon!" As soon as the battalion commander pulled the fire rope, a cannonball flew into a bunker, and after a bang, the bunker was torn apart, and the pieces of meat and parts flew into the sky! "Cool!" Wang Jinshan, who was charging, saw that such a large bunker was bombarded into the sky with a cannon, and shouted happily, "Rush up for me!" "Rush!" The troops in the back swarmed up! "Fire!" A battalion commander took out a machine gun point in the distance with one shot!
"Tell the ghost cannon, use his cannon, and fire the cannon to the west of the city!" Liu Hai looked at the road map of Taiyuan City on the map, and suddenly found that there was a small road in the west of the city, which could transfer the troops in the city to the east of the city, and hurriedly ordered an artillery blockade! Liu Hai's artillery hit very timely, because after the battle began, the first line of losses was very large, the defenders had sent reinforcements and a batch of mortars to the east of the city, just at this time, Liu Hai's artillery arrived, along the way the defenders' reinforcements and ammunition supply was killed and wounded by the cannon of the ghost artillery, and the ammunition supply all exploded, so that the reinforcements of the first-line defenders were very limited, so that Wang Jinshan led people to break through the first-line position! "It's in, but it's even harder to fight next, it's all a large-scale bunker group headed by the central bunker, and there are almost no dead ends, it's hard to fight!" The staff officer next to him said to Wang Jinshan. "Humph! No matter how hard the bunker is, it can't stand the heavy artillery, before I came in, I had already divided the entire Taiyuan City into forty districts, each district has a number instead, as long as we report the location, where will Commander Liu's cannon hit, I think it is his Yan Lao Xi'er's pillbox is hard, or Liu Hai's cannon is hard! Take this map and report it to Division Commander Liu! Wang Jinshan looked at the staff officer proudly and said. Yes, Commander! The staff officer said.
"Division commander, I received instructions from Commander Wang, saying that Area 13 was blocked by the opponent's heavy firepower fort, and I hope to be able to support it with heavy artillery!" The staff officer came over and said. "Tell Fat Man Wu, take this picture, give it to Fat Man, and let him be accurate!" Bangs handed over a picture to the staff officer! "Yes!" The staff officer took the map and left! "Not only that, tell the ghost cannon and let him hit me with shells from east to west, I don't believe that his troops can assemble a counterattack under my artillery fire!" Liu Hai looked at the street map of Taiyuan and judged that if the Taiyuan defenders counterattacked, they would definitely gather troops here! "Report! Commander-in-Chief Xu has an order, ordering us to go to the west of the city and help the troops attack the Fengxi Fortress! "A staff officer is here!" What the? Bangs was taken aback, "So what about this side?" Commander Wang also needs heavy artillery support here? "I don't know the specific situation, but Commander-in-Chief Xu asked you to go to the headquarters!" "Good! I'll go! Bangs stood up and called a car to the headquarters!
"Commander-in-chief, why did you transfer me to the west of the city, what should I do with Commander Wang?" Liu Hai went in and said, "The situation in the east of the city is the best, and it is the easiest place to make a breakthrough, and if there is no heavy artillery, it will be difficult for Commander Wang to attack!" "Don't be in a hurry!" Commander-in-Chief Xu said, "The east of the city is the key defense area of the Taiyuan defenders, even if it can be entered, it is also a heavy casualty, and it is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and the west of the city is the key attack area we choose, as long as the gap is opened in the west of the city, we can flank the defenders in the east of the city before and after, only in this way can we completely take Taiyuan City in the shortest possible time!" Do you understand? "It turns out that the attack location we chose is the west of the city, and even I didn't see it, and Yan Laoxi'er couldn't see it!" Bangs said. "That's why I'm going to put you and Zhao Zhangcheng in the east of the city! I know the situation of your bangs that others don't know, you are the artillery god of the national army, Zhao Zhangcheng is our artillery god, you two artillery gods are together, you can take Dongshan! It is precisely because you and Wang Jinshan took Dongshan that the Taiyuan defenders transferred all the elite and main forces to the east of the city, and our elite has been assembled in the west of the city, as long as your artillery is in place and captures the fortress in the west of the city, then Taiyuan City is just around the corner! "Commander-in-Chief Xu said his thoughts." What a soldier! In the end, it's the commander-in-chief, it's too much, I'll immediately command the troops to go to the west of the city! "Liu Hai only knew at this time that the layout of the Taiyuan Battle was like this!" Very good! Commander-in-Chief Xu nodded and said.
"Tell Wu Fatzi and the ghost cannon to open in an hour and go to the west of the city to attack the Fengxi Fortress!" Bangs ordered! "Why? Didn't we play well? The staff officer asked. The command also has to be transferred, quickly! As for why? Let me tell you, we are just a division, and Commander-in-Chief Xu is the soldier, everyone, hurry up, don't ask! "Bangs are in a hurry to let the troops transfer!" Let me tell you two, this time to attack Fengxi Fortress, you must be fast, no matter what, if you can't take Fengxi Fortress as soon as possible, the attack can't be launched quickly, so it's best for us to capture Fengxi Fortress within a day! Bangs said to the ghost cannon and Wu Fatzi. This Fengxi Fortress is easy to fight, and it is not easy to fight, as long as we can cooperate closely with the attacking troops, we will strive to be able to take the Fengxi Fortress in one go! Bangs said. Isn't it just the cooperation of rifle guns! How easy it is! Ghost Cannon said indifferently. This time what we want is speed, Wu Fatzi's heavy artillery opens first, and after ten minutes, the cannon of the ghost cannon follows the assault team to open the way, and the double cover troops are impacted! Bangs explained. Double cover, I haven't done it before, but it's not difficult, okay! "Two people said yes at the same time!
Liu Hai watched Wu Fatzi's heavy artillery attack the Fengxi Fortress, the Fengxi Fortress is really very special, the terrain is extremely high, the firepower arrangement is also very reasonable, the attack is very difficult, the only advantage is that the vegetation on the Fengxi Fortress is scarce, almost all of them are covered with loess, which is very beneficial to observation and accurate attacks! Liu Hai's strategy also played a great role, after the first round of heavy artillery bombardment, the defenders thought that the shelling had passed, and they drilled out of the fortifications to prepare to resist, but they never expected that the second round of shelling would come again, and the defenders suffered heavy casualties in an instant, and then the assault troops launched an attack! However, after two shellings, the Fengxi fortress still resisted strongly, and the attacking troops were blocked from time to time! At this time, the ghost cannon gave full play to its ability to shoot accurately, and almost blew up hundreds of pillbox machine guns on a slope! When the defenders of the Fengxi Fortress began to counterattack, they were immediately suppressed by Wu Fatzi's firepower, making the heavy firepower of the Fengxi Fortress basically ineffective! After a day and a night of arduous attacks, the Fengxi Fortress was finally taken, and Liu Hai opened the gate to liberate Taiyuan with artillery! The 12 divisions, which had been prepared for a long time, began to attack on the whole front, and with the support of powerful artillery fire, all units adopted the tactics of bravely interspersing, dividing and encircling, and annihilating each other, quickly broke through the defensive line of the defenders, and successively occupied Xincheng and Taizitou in the north of the city, Fenhe Bridge, Dawang Village, Xiaowang Village in the southwest and north of the city, Di Village and the old military camp in the south of the city, and Haojiagou and Jianziwan in the east of the city. Liu Hai's artillery fire was not idle, followed the attacking troops for fire support, after a day of fighting, all captured the outlying strongholds, annihilated the defenders' twelve divisions, and controlled the Shuangta Temple, Wohu Mountain, the commanding heights, and approached the city of Taiyuan. In order to alleviate the damage to the urban area of Taiyuan and the loss of people's lives and property, the Taiyuan Front Command issued an ultimatum to the defenders to surrender, but Sun Chu, Wang Jingguo and others still refused to surrender. Under the command of Commander-in-Chief Xu, a general attack was launched on the urban area of Taiyuan. The 20th Corps first broke through the city wall from the east side of the small north gate, and the 18th and 19th Corps also entered the city one after another and engaged the defenders in street fighting. The troops entering the city quickly opened up a way forward by means of small explosives and bravely attacked the command center of the defenders.
The command center of the Taiyuan defenders is a large concrete structure of the giant bunker group, the attack force in the case of repeated ineffective attacks, had to repeat the old tricks, called dozens of heavy artillery to concentrate fire on it, close to the explosion, with the demolition team to besiege them one by one! Under the attack of huge shells and a large number of heavy artillery, this giant bunker was finally breached, and this last bunker was breached, directly announcing the liberation of Taiyuan City! It was only at this time that Liu Hai understood that Commander Xu's attack strategy was actually the simplest way to attack the west! First concentrated a large number of artillery in the east of the city to carry out a feint, and the feint lasted for more than three months, so that the defenders insisted that the main direction of attack was in the east of the city until the attacking troops entered the city! Liu Hai looked at the captured Taiyuan City, and threw himself to the ground with the admiration of Commander Xu, the culmination of offensive tactics!
After more than 100 days of battle, the attack effect was achieved in the last three days, and Liu Hai never expected that he could play so atmosphericly! Before Liu Hai could take a breath, an order came from above, ordering Liu Hai to lead the whole army to Shandong to participate in the mission of attacking Jinan! The reason is because of Zhao Zhangcheng's strong recommendation, but Liu Hai never caught up with the Battle of Jinan, and when he didn't arrive in Jinan, Jinan had already been breached! Liu Hai, who had nothing to do after rushing to Shandong, was approved by Noji, and the whole army was repaired in Shandong! But the work is not finished, after a month of rest, the order came immediately, the superior ordered Liu Hai to go to Henan to participate in the attack on Zhengzhou, the reason why Liu Hai wanted to go, because there was a regiment of American heavy artillery in the defenders of Zhengzhou!
