The one hundred and fifty-eighth episode of the occupation of Zhou's homeland
[158] Occupy the Zhou homeland
After shooting more than a dozen deserters to show the monkeys, the 19th Army began to drill out of the mountains and ravines north of Xujiaao, where the hedgehogs had gathered and retreated, and prepared to attack the landing ground on the beach in the south.
Liu Yunhan, the commander of the 19th Army, was very depressed, he did not understand how he could be caught off guard by the artillery fire of the supply army, and the originally planned coastal defense Jihua had gone bankrupt before it was implemented. According to Jihua, as long as the supply army is blocked by fortifications after landing, the 19th Army can immediately rush down and beat the supply army to a shred on the beach.
Liu Yunhan ordered that the 19th Division of the 14th Army, which had been assembled first, immediately rushed to the beach. Because the Second Division of the 19th Army was stationed in Xujiaao in the valley to the north, its losses were relatively small, with more than 1,000 casualties, and the officer system at all levels was relatively well preserved.
After receiving the order of Liu Yunhan, the commander of the 19th Army, Zhao E, the commander of the 14th Division of the 19th Army, immediately ordered his troops and horses and rushed to the south with murderous spirit. The nearest beach to Xujiaao is only 4 kilometers, and if the speed is fast, it will encounter the landing PLA in less than half an hour.
Zhao E knew that this was a chore, the supply army had just come ashore, and the morale was needless to say, it must be booming. This order of the military seat said that he wanted to attack by himself, but in fact, he wanted to use his more than 10,000 people to block the supply army in Tiantong Village in the central part of the Zhoujiayuan area, so as to win time for the 19th Division and the 45th Independent Division under the jurisdiction of the 19th Route Army to assemble.
Zhao E is a pure soldier, and he can only obey the orders of his superiors. In fact, he was resistant to this order in his heart, in his opinion, the artillery fire of the supply army was so crazy, if he rushed up and was hit back by the artillery fire, wouldn't he be sent to death? It is better to retreat all up the hill and establish an anticline position along the ridgeline. It's the same defense, and it must be held for a longer time. Needless to say, the casualties must be very large.
Zhao E was also reluctant to let his troops be the vanguard, so he had a long-term vision and ordered the Township Yong Regiment, which was only temporarily formed at the end of 49, to be the vanguard, and asked the military law team to force them to take the lead.
What is this Townsfolk Warrior Regiment? In fact, it was a rabble composed of landlords, local tyrants, ruffians and bandits in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, these people had a lot of blood debts on their hands, and they wanted to flee to Taiwan with the retreat of Chiang's army, but they did not expect to be sent to Zhoushan. These people are worried all day long, afraid that the bandits will call, but they have unrealistic illusions, hoping that Lao Jiang can succeed in "opposing the work of the mainland" as he said, and when the time comes, when he returns as a return to his hometown, he must arrest all the mud legs in the village who surrender and kill a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood!
Zhang Ming, commander of the 195th Regiment, ordered the first battalion of the 195th Regiment to attack Duntou Mountain and Chenjiashan in the middle of the Zhoujiayuan area in accordance with the Jihua of the division headquarters, and the first battalion was called the "Luoyang Battalion".
Duntou Mountain really can't be called a mountain in the eyes of Yiying, with a length of only 1.3 kilometers and a width of less than 1 kilometer, like an oval egg shape. Among the countless hills that the first battalion has attacked, this thing is not ranked, at most it is a grave bun, and at this moment this grave bun is quiet, which makes the first battalion commander Gao Xiangyu a little impatient.
"A company commander!"
"Here!"
"Go up and see if there's any alive."
"Yes."
Wu Gui, the commander of the first company, led three platoons to rush up in three directions, and to his disappointment, there were indeed several brick and concrete pillboxes on the mountain, but they had already been taken care of by artillery fire, and the temporary cement bunkers had all collapsed, and they were no longer alive. A few prisoners were captured sporadically on the mountain, but they were all unmotivated and surrendered immediately.
Suddenly, machine guns rang out.
At this time, Wu Gui, the commander of the next company, became excited, rushed all the way to the north along the mountain, and finally found a complete brick and concrete bunker set up on the hill north of Duntou Mountain. Apparently this is a slipped through the net of artillery fire. At this moment, the bunker was nervous, and began to shoot suddenly down the mountain.
Before Wu Gui could command, the third platoon commander rushed up with a firearms squad, and a rocket launcher was launched 50 meters away, which blew up half of the brick and concrete bunker, and the masonry that blew up to the sky just landed, and the first squad of the third platoon rushed up, and when he looked closely, there were 11 corpses in the bunker, plus two serious injuries that were bleeding from the mouth, nose and ears, and the squad leader hurriedly ordered the soldiers to carry these two people out, bandage and rescue them, and see if they could be saved.
With the sound of machine guns coming from the direction of Chenjiashan where the 1st Battalion and the Second Company of the 195th Regiment were attacking northward, Wu Gui, the commander of the first company, felt like a cat scratching in his heart, feeling that this Duntou Mountain was simply wasting the time of the first battalion. No, you have to report to the battalion commander quickly.
In less than half an hour, after the mountain search was completed, Wu Gui also rushed to the battalion commander Gao Xiangyu and poured bitter water.
"Battalion commander! What about haode hard bones? ”
Gao Xiangyu, the commander of the first battalion, said with a dark face: "How do I know that this mountain is so energetic by artillery, not only you, but the second company that attacked Chenjiashan has not encountered any results." ”
Wu Gui heard the battalion commander say this, and his heart was finally balanced.
Gao Xiangyu ordered: "Without waiting for the second company to come back, the whole battalion will immediately set off and attack Jianfeng Mountain in the northwest."
According to the attack on Jihua, the first battalion only needs to capture and hold Jianfeng Mountain in the northwest of Zhoujiayuan, so that the Kuomintang 75th Army stationed in the northeast corner of Zhoushan Island will not be able to pass.
The 2nd Battalion of the 195th Regiment received the target of the attack on Dashan, which was larger than Duntou Mountain and twice the area occupied by Duntou Mountain. Although the situation of the defenders and pillboxes on the hill was a little more complicated, they had also been scorched and scattered by the shelling.
The Kuomintang defenders on the mountain also wanted to resist for a while, but when Bayi Bar remembered it, they were intimidated.
An officer exclaimed from the bunker: "Did the supply army bring all the machine guns?" ”
The machine gunners in the bunker did not dare to show their heads at all, and a shuttle of bullets came from the outcrops, and now two shooters were dead. They looked at the officer, and it meant, "You can do it, or why don't you try it yourself?" ”
After the 2nd Battalion suppressed the firing point with the Bayi Bar and the Bayi Light Machine Gun, it also used bazookas to finally solve the problem, and a 40 rocket shot went up to blow up the pillbox, followed by a charge, and immediately took it.
The second battalion has always been very wild, and there has always been the problem of fighting out and not being able to recover it, and the two who went up did not even delay for a moment, and the wind and clouds generally took down the mountain at the same speed as running.
At this point, all units of the 195th Regiment have completely controlled the central area of Zhoujiayuan, except for the first battalion to the northwest Jianfeng Mountain to block the attack, the second battalion and the third battalion will continue to advance northward to attack Wang Gaoling and Yangjiawan in the north of Zhoujiayuan.
Farther and farther away from the beachhead, the 194th Regiment led by Commander Zhao Wenjin went all the way north, and so far, they have not encountered enemy troops that can be called resistance. Every time the Yujian machine gun bunker and the enemy trench position were either blown to shreds, or the soldiers inside came out to surrender with their pants peeing.
Finally, the 1st Battalion of the 194th Regiment of the vanguard found a large force of enemy troops when it was about to reach the town of Shuangqiao. This is exactly the death squad of the Xiangyong Regiment that Zhao E of the 14th Division of the 19th Army took the lead.
