[223] Type 56 160mm mortar

With the all-round firing of more than 500 antiaircraft machine guns of our army's standard 14.5mm double-barreled ships on the landing ships, all the firing points on Kinmen Island that were exposed during the firing were constantly dealt fatal blows, and the cement pillboxes covered by trees and branches melted like butter in the face of the steel bullets pouring down like a torrential rain, and for a time, more than a dozen firing points on Kinmen Island became dumb.

Deng Zhaoxiang, commander of the Grand Fleet, saw it with a telescope on the bridge of the Xining, and he said to the deputy captain beside him with satisfaction: "Very good, there is no need for gunboats to do it, and the landing ship has already completed the suppression of firepower." ”

However, in the front-line command bunker of the 52nd Army, the staff officers of the 52nd Army were like mourning, and their faces were as pale as dirt.

"Commander! The firepower of the supply army is too strong! Brothers, you have suffered heavy losses from the firing points, Commander, and you order to stop firing! ”

Liu Yuzhang looked at the sea, his body trembling. He looked at the more than 500 roaring double-barreled 14.5mm heavy machine guns on the sea several kilometers wide in front of him, roaring and spitting out tongues of fire and gunsmoke, like a jianzhen composed of countless heavenly swords sacrificed by the gods in myths and legends, harvesting life on the earth.

Liu Yuzhang couldn't help but tremble his lips and ordered, "Pass my order...... All troops fight to the death! The landing of the supply army must not be allowed to succeed! …… I have a hunch that the momentum of the landing of the supply army this time is extremely fierce and unprecedented...... Order all American-made 57mm caliber M18 recoilless gun squads to go out of the first trench on the beach and attack the landing ship for the army! Never ...... They must not be allowed ashore...... All bunkers equipped with American-made 37mm M3 anti-tank guns fired at me in concert...... The American-made M2 mortar battalion in Houshan is ready to bombard the beachhead as soon as the supply troops land......"

"Commander! Five or six hundred firing points on more than 100 landing ships! I can't expose it now! Don't let the brothers die in vain! A staff officer surnamed Bai in the bunker howled.

Liu Yuzhang slowly raised his right hand with white gloves, and the right hand trembled slightly. His mouth opened slightly, but it was immediately closed, as the commander of the 52nd Army of Scud, he had a magical intuition that always made him aware of the danger coming, and this time, he intuitively felt that he was facing an unimaginable battle.

A staff officer on the side said to himself in frustration: "Supply the army...... When was it so wasted...... So many landing ships...... All of them are equipped with double-barreled machine guns...... That kind of large ironclad landing ship is actually equipped with four doors! In a frenzy...... Heartbreaking......"

The first climax of the landing operation was played as the artillery fire on Kinmen Island and the machine guns on the landing ships continued to open fire. The Jian-6 unit of the Air Force began to dive and began to strike at the ground pillbox fire points with four mounted 57mm rocket launchers.

Lu Guoping, captain of the Jian-6 Brigade of the 2nd Air Regiment of the 5th Air Division, was the first to take the lead in demonstrating the operation, only to see his Jian-6 swooping down, rushing towards a concealed bunker on Queshan that was firing artillery, locking the gun position of the 37mm caliber M3 anti-tank gun that was constantly firing, and pulling the trigger of the 57mm rocket launcher at a distance of 1,500 meters.

Two of the four aviation rocket vehicles opened fire at the same time, and one group of eight and two groups of 16 aviation rockets "swished" and roared out after being unwilling to be left behind, scrambling to attack the artillery position on this mountainside.

This shelter hidden on the mountainside is very simple, only a one-meter-high semi-circular arc is enclosed with sandbags, and a gap is exposed forward for the use of American-made M3 anti-tank guns.

"Ermao, you see that the planes for the army are flying really low."

"! This...... Why is this plane coming right in front of us! ”

"Not good! Air raid! ”

This thought just flashed in the hearts of everyone on the gun position, and they immediately thought that it was not good, and they were about to dodge, but it was too late. The 16 aviation high-explosive incendiary rockets, with the cheerfulness of two kicks and the consciousness that the mission must be achieved, unrestrainedly blew up the mountainside into a sea of fire. He took an old-fashioned Maxim 1910 heavy machine gun fire point with him on the side.

The 12 Jian-6 planes continued to dive as if juggling, pouring aviation rockets at the many exposed firepower points on Kinmen Island, which had no sense of air defense; for a time, more than a dozen fires on the east coast of Kinmen Island burst into the sky, and the sound of rocket explosions and ammunition explosions was incessant, and gunpowder smoke rose into the sky.

At this time, the 20 American-made M18 recoilless gun squads under the 52nd Army also came out of the cave in the hidden point on the mountain, went out into the trench by the beach, and began to target the landing ships to attack. But as soon as it was exposed, it was annihilated by the crazy 14.5 double-barreled ship machine guns on countless landing ships with a barrage of steel storms.

A staff officer of the 52nd Army did not forget to pat his horse in front of this tragic scene, pointed to a 271 landing ship on the sea and said: "Commander! Hit one! Hit one! ”

Liu Yuzhang shuddered and said: "The supply army has already knocked out 27 of my gun positions and 35 machine gun fire points, and our side has only hit one landing ship...... How can the landing ship not sink after being shot...... Finished...... It's over......"

To Liu Yuzhang's dismay, the 271, which was hit by a 57mm recoilless gun on the side of the ship, actually braved the flames and continued to move forward tenaciously without any signs of sinking at all.

At this time, the fifth broadcast sounded among the various landing ships on the sea, which was also the first broadcast before the landing.

"Attention commanders and fighters, all in place, there are still 100 meters from the landing."

The red imp named Liu Hongjun beside Teng Yifeng opened his mouth, "Ah-ho, ah-ho" cleared his throat and skillfully tightened the equipment on his body again. said: "Erzhu, prepare the red flag." ”

"Needless to say, I'm ready!" The other red imp laughed.

"Expert Teng, you follow me for a while, don't run around, don't rush in front of me, if you have three long and two short, the head of the regiment will have to screw my ears off." Liu Hongjun said to Tengyi Feidao.

Finally, one by one, the landing craft completed Zuihou's journey, rushing to the beach one by one in the increasingly weak counterattack of the Kinmen garrison, and with the violent shaking of the hull and the harsh sound of steel grinding under the ship, the landing ships stopped on the beach.

"Gaga...... Ga...... Ga...... Ga...... Syllable!!! ”

WITH A LOUD BANG, THE HINGES OF THE LANDING SHIP DOOR WERE LOOSENED, AND THE LANDING SHIP DOOR DECK MADE OF THICK 35MM STEEL PLATES COLLAPSED, AND MORE THAN 20,000 COMMANDERS AND FIGHTERS OF THE 67TH DIVISION AND THE 69TH DIVISION POURED INTO THE BEACH WITHOUT FEAR LIKE A WAVE, AND MORE THAN 700 RED FLAGS SOUNDED FIERCELY IN THE SEA BREEZE! The six-kilometre-long beach on the east coast of Kinmen Island was filled with the sound of killing, and all the combatants of the 176 landing ships were safely disembarked.

Then the various units began to carry out their respective tasks as fast as possible, and the troops who were the troops who were going forward to attack and expand the landing field did not look back, and the murderous sound rushed towards the depth of the west of the beach, and the artillery units responsible for fire cover gathered on the beach, and a Type 63 107mm rocket launcher was assembled, and then dragged by the artillery units into the preset position. A Type 56 160mm mortar was dragged out of the landing ship and pulled towards the position where the earthwork was being carried out.

Liu Yuzhang saw it really on the mountain, and shouted: "The whole army of the 52nd Army listens to the order, give it to me!" Give me the supply army to wipe out at the beachhead, and I must not let the supply army cross the three mountain defense lines of Wuhu Mountain, Bishan, and Beique Mountain! All American-made M2 and Trinity mortars fire at me! ”

With Liu Yuzhang's order, the mortar position of the 52nd Army began to shell the beach at a distance of one kilometer from the beach, and a total of more than 200 M2-60mm mortars and Trinity 60mm mortars imitating M2 began to roar.

Just as Liu Yuzhang ordered the shelling, 50 Type 59-1 tanks had already been activated, roaring out of the 50 271 landing ships carried by them. The hideous barrel and the huge steel body with an irrepressible mania rattled to drive the tracks under the wheels 30 meters into the beach. Suddenly, the thirsty torrent of ironclad stopped and began to launch a calibrated shot and attack on the firing bunker on the mountain.

In this 0010 tank numbered 59, Fang Xijiang, commander of the 101st Tank Regiment of the Northern Capital Military Region of the People's Liberation Army, ordered: "Attention to the first regiment, the artillery of each vehicle is calibrated in turn and the firing begins!" Each vehicle chooses its own target and fires! ”

With the rotation of the turret of the 59 tank, under the positioning of the laser ranging sight, the coaxial machine gun on the turret began to fire, and the barrel was constantly corrected with the aiming of the machine gun, followed by a fierce 100mm rifled gun with a burst of roar, 50 59 tanks fired freely down, and dozens of cement fortifications on the defense line of Wuhushan, Bishan and Beiqueshan of the 52nd Army were destroyed and shattered.

Liu Yuzhang was stunned by the reinforced concrete observation post on Bishan and a staff officer under him, and shouted wildly: "What kind of tank is this!" How is it so big! Where did the heavy tanks come from for the army! ”

The communications soldier running from the communication room in the cave connected to the bunker shouted frantically and reported: "Commander! The dark castles on Beique Mountain can't be contacted! It is estimated that it has been destroyed by the supply tanks! The 25 Division reported that they suffered heavy losses! Heavy losses! ”

Liu Yuzhang felt dizzy in his mind, and he could no longer stand steadily, he grabbed the cement hole of the bunker with his white-gloved hands, and opened his mouth to the beach and shouted: "This is not right! It shouldn't be this way! How can there be so many heavy tanks for the supply army! ”

A staff officer beside him said in a panic: "Commander, this must be the aid of the Soviet Union to the army!" As a result, the third regiment of our tank is in danger. ”

Another staff officer said with a fluke mentality: "The three tank regiments are well-trained, how can the tanks hastily trained by the army be able to fight, I think they can still fight." ”

Liu Yuzhang sat down on the chair behind him with a miserable face, and muttered, "Heavy tank...... How to spell ...... How to spell ......"

With the firing of various 60mm mortars of the 52nd Army, the heavy group of the 52nd Army began to rush out of the hidden bunkers and caves, divided into three roads, north, south and middle, and launched an assault on the beach.

The Eighth Division, which had been waiting in the air for a long time, finally found its prey at this time, and even Yang Tao, the acting division commander who was usually not smiling, had an excited smile on his face at this moment: "Pay attention to the Eighth Division's regiment and a large group, and start bombing the enemy's artillery positions!" The 1st Regiment, the 2nd Brigade, the 2nd Regiment, the 1st Brigade, and the 2nd Brigade bombarded the enemy's northern, southern, and central heavy troop clusters in three directions. ”

Before the bombers of the H-5 began to bomb, the 23rd Army at this time had already begun an artillery counterattack under the command of the army commander Tao Yong.

The regiments, battalions, companies, and platoons under the 67 and 69 divisions of the 23rd Army were already equipped with 60mm, 82mm, 100mm, and 107mm mortars brought by Xiaoqiang at this time, and the 23rd Army, which was equipped with mortars to the platoon, had unprecedented firepower at this moment, and began to fire at the mortar positions of the 52nd Army.

The 160mm mortar battalions of the two divisions also completed the improvised earthwork at this moment, and 36 Type 56 160mm mortars began to bombard the artillery positions of the 52nd Army and the infantry clusters that were rushing.

Commander Tao was still unsatisfied, obviously not satisfied with the mortar offensive, he looked at the report from the air that the communicator had just brought from the bombardment five, and ordered the signal soldiers around him: "Tell the battalions under the 23rd Army Artillery Regiment to prepare!" 107mm rocket artillery 1st, 2nd, 3rd companies ready to fire! One company and two companies target enemy artillery positions, a salvo! Three companies target the enemy's heavy army cluster in Gaoyang Town, behind the mountain, with a round of salvo! All 160mm mortars do not stop! Hit me hard! Fight until the 69th Division breaks through Gaoyang Town!
