[221] On the eve of the attack

At this time, there were 80,000 Kuomintang soldiers entrenched on Kinmen Island, and the public security situation was extremely bad, especially for sex crimes, and the 80,000 male soldiers who were disciplined and disrupted could be imagined. Yang Rui, director of the 52 Military Political War Department, suggested that a "special teahouse" should be set up, to put it bluntly, it would be to learn from the Japanese comfort women and the military prostitute camp system, and to call it a paradise in the army. The shamelessness of Yang Rui can be seen, the shamelessness of the political and war department of the Kuomintang army can be seen, and the 52nd Army of the Kuomintang is really not boasting.

Taiwan's media at that time even shamelessly propagated, saying that it was a rare opportunity to enter the Middle Garden as comfort women, and that "women who had lost their footing" from all walks of life in Taiwan enthusiastically signed up, claiming that doing this business was to contribute to democracy, so the political trial was extremely strict and so on, to wash the ground for the Kuomintang army. But what is the truth?

In fact, there were too many cases of adultery on Kinmen Island at that time, and the military did not deal with them at all. In the eyes of the Kuomintang officers, at this time, no one knew when the supply army would come, so if you rape it, you will rape it, and if it is your turn, it will be your turn, and who will call you a woman.

It wasn't until the inside story was revealed in 1986 that the outside world knew that the youngest woman in this military paradise was less than 16 years old, and she picked up as many as 40 officers a day. At this time, people knew that this was a hell on earth, and where they came voluntarily, they were all women who were abducted and bought by the bustard, and women who were snatched from the fishing villages on the coastal mainland were sold to the bustard and forced to become prostitutes.

However, even the old bustard could not meet the needs of 80,000 people, so the Kuomintang army took local materials, and all the young women aged 18-30 on Kinmen Island were organized into the "women's team" and forcibly taken to various pillboxes to work in the army. Those who dare to resist will be shot. In Lao Chiang's view, only by learning from the bestiality of the Japanese can we increase the combat effectiveness of the army and be on par with the strong army -- the Japanese devils in Lao Chiang's mind. It seems that Lao Jiang really only learned to prostitute in that pheasant school in Tokyo.

After several days of bombardment, these Chiang soldiers felt that it was better to have fun in time than to die on another day, and the paradise in the army was more and more crowded. A group of officers and soldiers with prostitution tickets lined up outside the stinking "tea room."

At this time, the PLA landing force in Quanzhou had already been prepared, and the 23rd Army, which had been selected as the first port of action to be deployed on the first island, had completed all the pre-war equipment and ideological preparations.

Tao Yong, commander of the 23rd Army of the People's Liberation Army, ignored the dissuasion and insisted on landing on the island with the vanguard troops.

Tao Yong is famous for fighting without hesitation, and this time is no exception, he still has to rush to the front line, and Commander Tao has a thought, he wants to see what this new tank looks like when it fights?

Just a week ago, the 93 271 landing ships, which had just moved south, brought something shocking.

At noon that day, Commander Tao, who had been notified in advance, and his deputy commander Mei Jiasheng and political commissar Lu Sheng came to the beachhead and waited for the arrival of the legendary tank.

"You say, what's so great about this new tank, can it be stronger than my 23rd Army? Why do Mr. Chen and Mr. Su have to bring me 50 of these things to land, isn't this my appearance? Although my old Tao has never commanded a tank, but the Soviet-Chinese seven battles and seven victories, Lunan, Laiwu, Menglianggu, Yudong, Huaihai, crossing the river, Shanghai, so many countless battles have been fought, and the tanks destroyed in my hands are not 100 but 80. The tank, it's a donkey in a mill! It will scream, and it will be strained as soon as it goes into battle. My soldiers, who are not afraid of tanks, rushed up to it when they saw it and blew it up. Although Tao Yong was very eager for the tank in his heart, he said it easily.

Political Commissar Lu Sheng looked at Tao Yong with a wry smile and said, "Who is that who has been pinching people since the day before yesterday?" Which one got up early this morning and asked if the tank was coming? Who has to pull me and Lao Mei over to greet me warmly? ”

Tao Yong's black face turned red all of a sudden, and he shouted unconvinced: "Why is your old Lu old and my appearance, that is the intention of the two bosses, what an honor this is!" Of course I care! Of course I'm coming! Didn't you send three telegrams a day asking when the fleet would arrive? And said me. ”

Deputy Army Commander Mei Jiasheng ignored the bickering between the two, put down the binoculars, looked at the sea in the distance with a smile, and pointed his finger and said, "Look! The ship is coming! ”

When the two heard this, they quickly raised the binoculars on their chests and looked in the direction of Mei Jiasheng's finger. Sure enough, a neat line of ships appeared on the sea in the distance, apparently a landing ship convoy arrived.

Deputy Army Commander Mei Jiasheng instructed the guards: "Hurry up and inform the 207th Regiment and run over to help unload the ship." ”

"Yes!" The little guard rushed out excitedly with a single lunge.

Looking at the ship and waiting for the dead, seeing the boat and the boat landing are two different concepts. The three of them waited on the beach for more than an hour, and they couldn't even care about the appearance of the army, so they sat directly on a piece of dry sand, watching the sea water surging and playing the music of the sea.

Finally, when the landing ship rushed to the beachhead, Tao Yong jumped up like a spring, and rushed over like a child at a trot.

From a distance, I saw that the door of the landing ship was lowered suddenly, and from the black and oppressive cabin, a low roar like a beast came out......

As the Type 59 tanks rushed onto the beach, the tank landing of this transport and exercise officially began, and Tao Yong stood on the beach stupidly, letting the 59 tanks rumble past him.

Commander Tao's fists were already clenched excitedly, and he excitedly shouted in his hometown dialect: "I'm a good dragon Didong!" Boy! Boy! What good guys! This is great! Good boy! ”

Compared with the most haode tank captured by our army in the Liberation War, the 14.7-ton American-made M5A1 light tank, the Type 59 tank with a total combat weight of 37 tons is like a monster, when they roared out of the landing ships one by one and rushed to the beach and appeared in front of Tao Yong, the commander of the 23rd Army, Tao Yong felt that he was completely conquered by the steel torrent composed of this giant monster!

The tank unit of the People's Liberation Army was established in November 1945, when the anti-Japanese troops in Northeast China collected a Japanese Type 97 medium tank in the former Japanese army tank assembly and repair plant in Shenyang, Japan's so-called medium tank, and the Type 59 such a medium is not the same thing at all, the Japanese call the Type 97 tank medium, that is for their Douding iron tank. In fact, that thing weighs only 15 tons, and the 25mm armor is equipped with a 57mm short-barreled gun, which is completely scum. But in the eyes of the People's Liberation Army at that time, this was simply a Sailor Moon! So 30 people were sent to form the first tank unit of the People's Liberation Army with this tank!

Because this tank was assembled from parts removed from several scrapped tanks, various failures often occurred, so that it was later called the "old man tank", but it was this patchwork "old man tank", in the hands of the People's Liberation Army also made great achievements, Suifenhe suppressed bandits, attacked Jinzhou, hit Tianjin, and went to Jiangnan three times, won the title of "Meritorious Hero" tank, and also participated in the military parade of the founding ceremony!

With the progress of the Liberation War, our army has captured many tanks, such as American-made M3A1 tanks, M3A3 tanks, M5A1 tanks, and others such as the French Renault FT17 tank, the Japanese-made 95 light tank, the 99 ultra-light tank, the Soviet-made T24, etc. In the end, when the country was founded in 1949, our army's mixed tank corps reached a scale of 375 tanks and 12,697 people.

Therefore, after receiving the 400 Type 59-1 tanks brought by Xiaoqiang last time, the first batch of carefully selected tankers practiced day and night, and it took less than a month to initially master the driving and combat skills. For the Type 59-1 tank, the tankers of the 1950's were very simple, and they could be described in just one word, "good". If you ask him to say a few more words, he will just tell you, "This is just haode!" "yes, how could there be an air conditioner in a tank back then......

After Tao Yong and the two old guys stood still, he excitedly pointed to the 59 that stopped after rushing to the beach and said, "This tank is so big!" It's so wide! It's so long! ”

Commander Tao was understandably surprised, the previous miscellaneous tanks of our army were generally about 2.3 meters wide, about 4.5 meters long, and some mini tanks were even only 1.3 meters high. With a width of 3.3 meters, a length of more than 6 meters, and a height of 2.6 meters like the 59, it naturally looks extraordinary. The tank is like a human, and when it is wide and long, it looks particularly burly and powerful.

Political Commissar Lu Sheng said with emotion: "I thought that the two bosses gave us M5A1, but I didn't expect that we were equipped with this thing, this thing, this thing...... Lao Tao, what do you think this thing looks like? ”

Tao Yong's eager eyes shone with fiery light, and he shouted enthusiastically: "This thing is M5A1 his old man!" No! No! It's the M5A1 his grandfather! No, no! What is M5A1? This is a baby! It's a treasure that doesn't change money! ”

Deputy Army Commander Mei Jiasheng ran to a tank that had just stopped, and talked to the tanker who jumped out of the tank: "Hey! Boy, you're driving well! This cannon tube is so thick! What caliber? ”

The tankman smiled and said, "Chief, this is a 100mm caliber rifled gun." After speaking, he looked at Mei Jiasheng proudly.

"What! 100mm！ Good guys, thicker than the 75mm mountain gun I used to use! Look at this cannon tube is so old, it must hit far, right? ”

The commander who jumped out of the tank said with a smile: "The maximum range is 16 kilometers, but the tank gun is not used for long-range bombing, we are the vanguard of the attack." ”

"Well said!" At this time, Commander Tao also ran over and saluted the tankmen. The tanker hurriedly returned the salute.

Tao Yong couldn't hide the smile on his face and said: "This time, with a super tank like you, there is no defense line in the world that can block my 23rd Army!" ”

After speaking, Commander Tao excitedly pulled the tanker to ask questions, and Zuihou also personally drilled into the tank, until he asked all the equipment on the tank before he was satisfied with it.

Lu Sheng, the political commissar who waited outside the car for a long time, asked, "How is it?" Old Tao? If you don't look at it, why don't we leave the tanks here, I don't believe it, can our 23rd Army still be able to defeat Kinmen? What else do you have to rely on? ”

Tao Yong smiled: "You are a fool to me, I won't do it if I leave such a baby at home." This time, I will personally lead the troops to rush to the beach, and I want to see if the "Bear of Kinmen" Kuomintang Chariot Regiment will be beaten into a bear against my big treasure. ”

Deputy Army Commander Mei Jiasheng said with a smile: "What a bear in Kinmen, a group of bears, on Zhoushan Island, the second battalion of the 193rd Regiment of the 22nd Army only relied on one battalion of its own, and used the newly equipped 40 rocket launchers to destroy Hu Lian's 18 American-made M5A1 armored divisions. ”
