Chapter 223: Glory Belongs to the First Regiment!
Outside the city of Taiyuan, the headquarters of the Reading Army.
Zhang Mingyu, Zhang Biao, and Chief of Staff Liu Cheng and others all got up from the bed, and all of them were awakened by the gunfire in Taiyuan City.
Zhang Mingyu understood that the gunfire that sounded in Taiyuan City at this time was undoubtedly done by Li Gang and the special combat team, so Zhang Mingyu immediately gave Niu Tiangui's regiment an order to attack the city just now.
Although it is not the best time to attack the city now, but because the gunfire has been fired, the attention of the devils has been attracted by Li Gang and them, it can be said that now is the best time to attack the city, but the time is slightly wrong, two or three o'clock in the morning is the time when people are most sleepy.
Moreover, the first regiment was busy all night preparing for the crossing of the river, so the officers and men were a little tired. However, Zhang Mingyu can't manage so much, the fighter plane is fleeting, and he doesn't know how long Li Gang and the special combat team members can last, you must know that the special combat team is his treasure, all of them are iron-blooded veterans with strong martial arts and extremely rich combat experience.
Just when the three of them were anxiously waiting for the news from the front in the headquarters, the gunfire and shouting of killing in Taiyuan City became more and more intense, and Liu Cheng, the chief of staff, looked in the direction of Taiyuan City and said, "It seems that a regiment has begun to attack the city." ”
"Big brother, only use one regiment to attack Taiyuan, is the strength a little thin, do you see if you let other regiments go up now!" Zhang Biao was a little worried and asked anxiously.
Zhang Mingyu stood up and began to pace back and forth with his hands behind his back, and said to Zhang Biao while pacing: "No, let a regiment go up first, and in two hours the whole army will attack, so that the brothers can rest for two hours." In addition, he immediately called Niu Tiangui and asked him to give Lao Tzu an example, and within two hours, he would take down the north city gate for me. ”
"Yes" Zhang Biao stood upright, and then asked: "Then the military seat, do you want the artillery to provide some fire support for a regiment, after all, Taiyuan City is an easy to defend and difficult to attack." ”
"Hmm." Zhang Mingyu nodded and said, "Let the tank battalion and artillery regiment assist in the attack!" ”
"Yes!" Zhang Mingyu immediately saluted, and then turned around and left impromptuly.
"Hello? Feed? What did you say? Be louder! Can't you fucking be louder, huh? Ushida shouted vigorously in his former enemy command post holding the telephone microphone.
"Hey, old cow, who are you scolding?" Zhang Biao reprimanded on the other end of the phone.
As soon as Niu Tiangui heard Zhang Biao's voice, he immediately changed his words: "Master, I didn't scold anyone, so dare!" ”
"Forgive me, kid doesn't dare, how is the siege progressing now?" Zhang Biao asked.
"Oh, progress, our regiment is being strongly blocked by devils, progress is very slow, and my battalion is storming the north gate." Niu Tiangui replied loudly on the other end of the phone.
"Listen, I'll transfer the tank battalion and the artillery regiment to your use. Zhang Biao hasn't finished his words yet.
Niu Tiangui on the other end of the phone was suddenly overjoyed: "Really? ”
"Don't be happy first, there are conditions for giving you the tank battalion and artillery battalion, the military seat said, if you can't take the north gate in two hours, the commander of the main regiment will be replaced!" Zhang Biao said coldly.
"Master, please rest assured, I can't take the north gate, I'll see you!" Niu Tiangui hung up the phone after speaking. He immediately strode out of the command headquarters and shouted: "Correspondent, correspondent, where is the death?" ”
"Here we are." A communications soldier ran quickly.
Niu Tiangui pointed in the direction of the north gate and said, "You go and tell the commander of the first battalion immediately, and ask him to withdraw for me immediately and prepare for the next attack." ”
"Yes!" The Signal Soldier jerked forward in salute and ran away quickly.
Not long after, the commander of the first battalion walked into the command post depressedly and complained: "Tuanzao, why did you let us withdraw so early, we have just attacked the enemy for more than ten minutes, and we haven't even touched the city gate, and we have suffered more than ten casualties in vain." ”
"I asked you to withdraw because I didn't want the brothers to die in vain, the military seat sent a tank battalion and an artillery regiment to support us, do you think I can have this thing and let the brothers die?" Ushida Gui said with a radiant face.
"Really?" The battalion commander asked in surprise.
"That can still be fake, the tank battalion is estimated to be there soon, and the artillery is also hurrying to build artillery positions, and when everything is ready, they will call me to report." Niu Tiangui said and looked at the phone tightly.
As soon as you Tian Gui's words fell, a lieutenant colonel officer strode in, saluted Niu Tiangui and said, "Hello sir, Liu Debiao, commander of the first regiment and one battalion of the tank battalion, reports to you, please instruct!" ”
Niu Tiangui returned a military salute, and then said eagerly: "Battalion Commander Liu, your tank battalion waits for my order, and then covers the infantry charge!" ”
"Yes!" Liu Debiao snapped and stood upright.
At this time, the phone in the command post rang "jingle bell", Niu Tiangui strode forward, grabbed the telephone microphone and said: "Hey, I am Niu Tiangui, the head of the regiment!" Please speak. ”
"We are an artillery regiment, we are ready, please instruct!" A voice came from the other end of the phone.
Niu Tian Gui said: "Great, you artillerymen don't have to save shells, immediately concentrate all the artillery fire on me to bombard the north gate fiercely, at least twenty minutes of fierce shelling!" ”
"This ......" The person on the other end of the line was obviously hesitant, after all, how many precious shells had to be wasted in twenty minutes of shelling.
Of course, Niu Tiangui knew what the other party was thinking, and he immediately said: "Don't worry about the shells, the military seat said that as long as Taiyuan is captured, it will be worth using as many shells as you want." ”
Zhang Mingyu must know that Niu Tiangui wasted such expensive shells, he would definitely vomit blood in anger, and one north gate would require two 105 howitzer regiments to carry out 20 minutes of shelling, and if this kind of fighting continued, a single Taiyuan city artillery shell would have to be hundreds of thousands or even millions of rounds.
Maybe Niu Tiangui didn't know how many shells were consumed by hundreds of guns in two artillery regiments, large and small, in twenty minutes.
Anyway, this battle was later jokingly called the "Fei Bullet War" by Zhang Mingyu and everyone, of course, this is all a later story.
Niu Tiangui pacified the artillery regiment, and then immediately ran out of the command post and said: "The whole regiment assembles .......!" ”
At this moment, the artillery bombardment began, and the fireballs with long tails flew over their heads, and then slammed down on the city wall, and suddenly a dazzling fire burst into flames.
The explosion of each 105 grenade exploded with earth-shattering noises and vibrations, and Ushida and a group of soldiers were knocked to the ground several times by the powerful air currents because they were not far from the city wall.
Seeing that the shelling was going on for more than 20 minutes, and the strong and heavy city wall had collapsed in many places, Niu Tiangui suddenly raised his head to the sky and shouted: "Brothers, rush me!" Glory belongs to our first regiment, rushed up and chopped the little devil! ”
"Kill...... Come on! The warriors shouted in unison and rushed towards the north gate.
More than a dozen tanks of the tank battalion took the lead and opened the way in front.
