Chapter 97 Siege of Liaocheng (9)
On June 26, 1946, Chiang Kai-shek brazenly tore up the armistice agreement, mobilized 300,000 troops to attack the liberated areas of the Central Plains, and launched a large-scale attack on various liberated areas, and the war of liberation began. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Liu Bocheng, commander of the Shanxi-Hebei-Shandong-Henan Military Region, sent a telegram to the political commissar to organize local corps, besiege Liaocheng, and wait to annihilate the enemy. Receiving the order, the local troops re-encircled Liaocheng.
In order to prevent the enemy from coming out at night to disturb the enemy, the local corps, after discussing with the Zhuxian County Party Committee, dug a blockade ditch around the outside of the city that was three meters wide and three meters deep, with a total length of more than 30 miles. Turn the earth outward, and put water inside, one can block the enemy, and the other can be used as a cover for our attack. In addition, large and small fortifications were erected, and the enemy was surrounded like an iron wall.
It was more difficult for the enemy to come out, and he was short of food and vegetables, and he became a turtle in an urn. The Kuomintang government in Jinan sent planes to drop grain and canned food into the city, and indiscriminately bombed our soldiers and civilians. Our troops, militia, and the masses at the four passes worked together to dig air-raid shelters, and skillfully camouflaged and concealed the fortifications and key targets. At the same time, a group of excellent shooters were selected to form an anti-aircraft shooting.
Whenever the enemy planes came to bomb and strafe, everyone took refuge in the air-raid shelters, and as soon as the enemy's fighters left, the fighters of the shooting squad opened fire on the enemy's transport planes in unison, so that these guys did not dare to fly low, so they could only drop them at a high altitude, and as a result, most of the food and ammunition were dropped into our positions or in the lake around the city, which became our trophies.
The enemy's air relief line was cut off, and Wang Jinxiang tried to open a road to the west of the city to communicate with the outside of the city, so as to break through the siege and escape and rob outside the city.
Luzu Temple is located in the west of the water bridge more than 100 meters outside the west gate of the city, there is water before and after, only an east-west road passes through the wide water surface from the front of the temple, connects the city and the outside of the city. Guarding the Luzu Temple was crucial, and the local corps entrusted this important task to Wu Xiaominglian.
Hanhang is bustling wherever it goes, and this time is certainly no exception. He confessed to Company Commander Wu Xiaoming and Instructor Li Dazhong: "There are not many battles to fight against the puppet army, and if you lose sixty-four times, you will be just short of this trembling, and if you tremble again, you will lose people, and I will be even more ashamed." ā
Before Wu Xiaoming could speak, Li Dazhong hurriedly said, "Commander Han, don't worry, when have we ever disgraced you." If I really lose someone to you, we will lose our reputation for a lifetime, and I will simply not live. ā
Wang Xiu'e encouraged him and said: "Don't, don't, don't say it so scary, if you don't live, whoever will lead the soldiers of the whole company must hold on to the final victory." ā
Han Xingxiong said: "Instructor Li, don't die all day long, what are you doing with so much nonsense, the top priority now is to repair the fortifications." Use the moats, blockade ditches, and our fortifications to strike hard at the enemy. ā
"Yes!" Wu Xiaoming and Li Dazhong replied in unison.
Lu Zu Temple is actually a broken temple of more than ten rooms, at the east end of the main hall, it is regarded as a central fortification, in front of the temple gate, under the theater building, there are Ming Diaoyu Hidden Fortress, all the firepower points are pointed to the West City Gate, and there is a 30-meter-wide dirt road that passes through the water.
On September 23, the enemy mobilized nearly 1,000 people to form two teams, one was a cover team, which was personally seated by brigade commander Zhao Zhenhua to cover fire on the city wall, and the other was a "death squad", which was personally led by deputy brigade commander Guo Peide and served as an assault.
At about 8 o'clock in the morning, two enemy planes flew directly over our Luzu Temple and first launched an air attack. If other companies were to suffer, there was no good way to deal with the enemy's aircraft, only light machine guns and rifles, but Wu Xiaoming's company had three 12.7 mm heavy machine guns, which could carry out low-altitude defense.
Han Xing had long been guarding against the enemy's move, he stood next to Wu Xiaoming, watched the enemy's plane circle from a high altitude, and then flew down towards Lu Zu Temple. Han Xing shouted at the anti-aircraft machine gun: "You're welcome, hit hard, tell them not to approach us at a low altitude." ā
Han Xing knew that dealing with the enemy's planes was not to shoot them down, and it was not so easy to fight planes, so it would be very good to ask them not to interfere with us at a low altitude.
The powerful 12.7 mm heavy machine gun has a theoretical rate of fire of 450 to 600 rounds a minute, and an effective range of 1,500 meters. The enemy planes flew and suddenly saw a dense stream of bullets flying towards them, mixed with a slip of white light.
"What is this? New bullets, new bullets......" The pilots of the enemy planes were so frightened that they no longer dared to fly at low altitudes, so they threw a few bombs, swept a few shuttle bullets, and quickly slipped away.
Enemy pilots saw what they saw, this is tracer bullets. In the 12.7 mm round, a tracer bullet was clamped every ten rounds to instruct the machine gun shooter to adjust the direction and elevation angle of the fire at any time.
............Zhao Zhenhua commanded light and heavy machine guns to suppress the fire on our Luzumiao position, which caused smoke and dust to fly on our position, and countless strings of soil rose up, forming a rain of bullets. On the tall city walls, because the elevation angle was too large, my light and heavy machine guns could hardly do anything against them.
But if one thing is born, there must be one thing, and light and heavy machine guns have been created, and their nemesis - mortars have been created. Han Xing shouted loudly: "What about mortars, what about our mortars!?" ā
The reason why Wu Xiaoming's company is so powerful is that in addition to heavy machine guns, there are also three mortars. "Air, empty, empty" came the sound of the cannon ejecting the chamber, and the three mortar shells flew out of the cannon chamber like three little eagles, soaring freely in the air, and before the three shells landed, another three shells flew into the air.
Looking up and seeing under the blue sky, there were not just three shells, but six, or even nine.
"Boom, boom, boom" Three shells exploded accurately on the tower, blowing up the enemy's light and heavy machine guns, and the man's broken arms and legs flew into the sky, followed by three more shells, followed by three more shells.
The mortars are well wounded, and they can fire about 40 shells per minute, with an average of one every two seconds, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are the nemesis of light and heavy machine guns.
Zhao Zhenhua crawled down the city wall without being killed, and the other soldiers were not so lucky, with one dead and wounded. The killing radius of mortar shells can reach about 20 meters, and such a small space of the city wall has been destroyed.
The first two moves of attacking Lu Zumiao did not take advantage, and the last move was the infantry.
Guo Peide pulled off his gown, revealing his white spine, picked up the big knife, and shouted with his teeth and claws: "Brothers, the Eight Roads won't let us live, and we can't let them have a good time!" It's better to starve to death if you go back, so it's better to fight with them today! A manly man, a hero will die and be a hero, go up-kill-"
Li Dazhong was not happy when he saw it: "Drink, these puppet soldiers are really playing with their lives." No, I can't let you kid rush my head. Let's see if you're playing with your life or if I'm playing with your life! He picked up his machete, and went up with it.
Wu Xiaoming is even a few tiger and wolf soldiers, what formation has not passed, who has not seen it. As soon as Li Dazhong got up, what were they waiting for, they all picked up bayonets and rifles, and followed behind Li Dazhong, wanting to fight with these puppet soldiers and break the net.
When Han Xing saw it, he was a little anxious and scolded: "Li Dazhong, you bastard, who told you to work so hard!?" But the scolding didn't work, Li Dazhong had already picked up the big knife. Han Xing had no choice but to order: "Heavy guns and guns, cover-fire cover-"
The heavy machine gun had such an advantage, the ballistic curved fire, through Li Dazhong's head, formed a parabola, and hit Guo Peide's team. The 12.7 mm bullet is so powerful that it often penetrates the person and hits the person. As long as a thick bullet hits the body, it is an arsenic medicine tiger - death after death.
Guo Peide gritted his teeth and rushed forward, the people around him fell one after another, and he even wondered a little, why was the firepower of the Eighth Route so strong? Why are these bullets mixed with a slip of white light? Could it be that he has killed too many people, and even Lord Yama has to recruit himself today, are those unjust ghosts asking for their lives today?
As he walked, he saw a big man, also with a big knife, rushing towards him. The big knife was much wider and thicker than his own, and if there was no one next to this person, the other puppet soldiers didn't even lift their eyelids, they were coming towards him.
Guo Peide is not a reckless man, okay, if you come, I will come, see who is harder than whom! He followed Li Dazhong, who came forward, and the head was a knife. Li Dazhong didn't even hide, just with your knife, you still wanted to touch me, but there was no door, so he had a hard time with this knife.
I only heard a "bang", and the two knives collided, stirring up a golden light. Li Dazhong didn't feel anything, Guo Peide only felt that his right arm was numb, and he couldn't wait to obey half of his body, if he hadn't endured the pain, the knife would have been taken off a long time ago. Frightened, Guo Peide had no choice but to continue to raise his knife to resist.
This time, Li Dazhong was not polite, and if he slashed again, Guo Peide only felt that his hand was numb again, and the knife didn't know where it had collapsed. Anyway, Guo Peide is also the deputy brigade commander and the commander of the second regiment, and there is a large group of guards, and these people are like a group of dogs who hug up to protect their masters.
Li Dazhong is not good at stubble, although there are not many people around him, but they are all like tigers, and the weapons are good, a few assault rifles roared angrily, and the people around Guo Peide fell to the ground one after another. But Guo Peide's dog protectors were anxious, and a lot of people died, but they still snatched Guo Peide back.
This time, Guo Peide was completely stunned, his heart was cold for a long time, he didn't catch his breath for a long time, he kept touching his head, is his head still there? It seems that there is no more, the bright machete has been dangling in front of my eyes, and I have been slashing in front of my eyes......
