Chapter 31 The Battle of Annihilation for the Capture of Guangxi
In the afternoon, trucks full of soldiers drove out of the barracks gates, with cannons pulled behind the trucks, and tanks behind the trucks. This makes pedestrians curious." What's going on, it's the first time I've seen such a formation, is it going to be a war?" Oh, yes! I've heard that there are bandits and bandits who are coming, and they are going to suppress the bandits." Suppress bandits, you have to use so many cannons, you see what those strange cars are behind them, wrapped in iron sheets, rumbling, such a big movement."" I've heard people say that it's a chariot, like the heavy cavalry of ancient times, and it's very powerful when it charges."" ……”
The three divisions of the People's Army were all mechanized marches, so the three divisions of Li Zongren could not set off for less than half a day, and the third division of the People's Army facing them was already less than 10 kilometers away.
In the command car of the Third Division, Huang Bai was sitting on the command car and pretending to sleep, when a signal corpsman ran over and woke him up, saying: "Division commander, the latest news has come from the air force reconnaissance plane, we are less than 10 kilometers away from the enemy's three divisions in a straight line, and there are nearly 30,000 people, and there is no artillery." Huang Bai nodded, signaling that he understood. Guard, where did the map come from."" Yes."
After reading the map, Huang Bai already had a clear idea in his heart." Signal soldier, order the troops to stop advancing and go and call the regimental commanders to me for a meeting" "Yes"
After a while, the commanders of the five regiments all arrived at the command vehicle." Now the three divisions opposite us are less than 10 kilometers away from us, and I now assign the following combat mission: the first regiment will set up a sniper position on the hill in front, and the second and third regiments will leave artillery to outflank us on the left and right flanks. The armored regiment is divided into two parts, following the second and third regiments to carry out the outflanking mission, and the artillery of the three regiments in the artillery regiment season, and the artillery positions are built behind the first regiment. Yes."
After a while, the long marching procession, divided into three teams, one team stopped, and the two teams separated left and right.
Giethoorn Slope, a small place that can't be found on the map, is a mountain pass that can only be told by the local population. At this time, a long line of marchers slowly walked in the distance of Sheephorn Slope, but these people were dressed in a mess, like a group of bandits, these were Li Zongren's three divisions.
At this time, the three division commanders were chatting in the ranks, and a soldier ran over." Report, division commander, a force of about a thousand men was found in front of us where it was forming a position, as if it was coming at us."" What, could it be that our whereabouts have been exposed." One of the division commanders said in surprise. It doesn't matter if he is exposed or not, there are only a thousand people, we have nearly 30,000 people here, I am afraid that he is a bird, so I will directly charge, and it will be solved in minutes and seconds."" Oh, yes! I think the Overseers are too cautious, how many troops can there be in a small Huashi County, and we people will not be able to hold the handle in our hands."
The other two division commanders looked disdainful, and when they heard the words of these two people, the division commander who had just started to speak thought that he might be too worried." Let the team speed up the march, we will pack up the opposite side first, and then go to Huashi County."" Yes"
On the slope of sheep's horn, Huang Bai stood on the hillside, and saw the other party moving quickly from the telescope, and the corners of his mouth slowly curled. If it weren't for the fear that the other party would know that there were thousands of people here, and they wouldn't dare to come, they would let people hide it, and it seems that they were too worried." The commander of the regiment told the soldiers to prepare for battle, and put a company in front first, so as not to scare the other side away."" Yes"
After graduating, Chen Gengpeng was assigned to the Third Division as a company commander and a second lieutenant company commander, which is also a kind of treatment for those who graduated from military schools. After receiving the order of the regimental commander, with a company of soldiers, lying in the improvised trench, it was already possible to see the enemy in the distance rushing here.
"Hehe, go straight to war without even saying hello, it's direct enough, I like it." Huang Bai put down the binoculars and said to himself after seeing that the other party was ready to attack, but this is fine, the other party is neither blind nor stupid, seeing that more than 100 people are here to make a battle formation, we know what we want to do, anyway, no matter whether the people on the mountain are here to play soy sauce.
With a sharp whistle, about two regiments of enemy troops began to attack upward from the bottom of the hill, although they had fought with bandits, but this was the first time to fight with a real army, whether it was Huang Bai or Chen Gengpeng and these old oilmen who had been trained for many years, they all felt a trace of tension in their hearts.
"Communicator, inform the artillerymen, wait for my order, as soon as I give the order, the area of 200 meters to 400 meters ahead, five rapid fire without correction." Huang Bai issued a new battle order to the communicators around him, if all the soldiers on the position were allowed to fire, I believe that the soldiers would fight a beautiful blocking battle, but this is likely to scare the enemy behind them, so Huang Bai only arranged less than a company of troops on the front position, if the soldiers could not resist letting the enemy rush up, Huang Bai did not want to retain any strength, and directly asked the artillery behind him to cover the area in front of the position with firepower at one time.
When Li Zongren's three divisions arrived at Sheephorn Slope, they directly asked the soldiers of the two regiments to rush up the mountain, wanting to take the entire hillside in one go, but the price of underestimating the enemy was very serious.
Chen Gengpeng watched thousands of people rushing up like this, scolded and looked for death, and said:
"Don't be afraid, get close and fight! They are also the same head, two hands and two legs, and like you, there is nothing to be afraid of. Chen Gengpeng loudly boosted the morale of the soldiers on the forward position. As a commander, he can also feel the nervousness of the soldiers, although Chen Gengpeng is sure that the training of this unit is definitely the first in China, but the training ground is always different from the actual combat, and good psychological quality and rich combat experience can sometimes protect the soldiers.
The soldier who was encouraged by the commander did not relieve much tension in his heart, but he felt a little comforted that the commander was still with him.
"Brethren, behind us is our home, where we have built houses with our own hands, and fields that have been cultivated with our own hands, and there are our relatives, our parents, and our sisters, and these people who have come before us want to occupy our houses, occupy our fields, oppress our parents, and harm our sisters, do you think we can let them pass?!?! The sound is not very loud, but it can be transmitted far in the tense and oppressive position.
"Can't !!" There was a chorus of shouts from the position!
"Brothers, fuck me!"
"Fuck !!" After a burst of mobilization, the nervous emotions of the soldiers were swept away, and in their place were the ambition and pride of the same hatred and hatred.
"Chen Gengpeng, well done!" Huang Bai saw through the telescope that the person who made such a wonderful remark just now was the company commander Chen Gengpeng.
"Horn Horn Horn !!" The enemy who rushed in front of the line finally began to shoot, but because they were all shooting in motion, the accuracy was really poor, and there were not many shots that could hit the front of the position and stir up smoke and dust, let alone hit the soldiers.
Two hundred meters, no orders!
One hundred and fifty meters, no orders!
A hundred meters, and still no order!
Eighty meters, the fighters can see the appearance of the enemy on the opposite side clearly.
"Hit !!" Finally, when the opponent entered the eighty meters and began the final sprint, Chen Gengpeng finally gave the order, and a row of guns passed, and the bullets that had passed the priority unceremoniously knocked over more than a dozen objects that rushed to the front, and the corpses rolled down the dirt slope.
"Light and heavy machine guns!! Aim!!! Fire!!! Chen Gengpeng shouted hoarsely and gave the order, for the defenders, the machine gun can maintain sufficient fire density and firing speed, which is absolutely deadly for the current crowd charge tactics.
Sure enough, after being shot by the KPA, the vanguard of the first two regiments to charge had been pushed down by nearly half of the enemy, and the soldiers of the remaining two regiments did not hesitate any longer, and ran down at a faster speed than when they attacked. However, for the Zhonghua Z-type heavy machine gun, it was not so easy to escape, and by the time the two regiment commanders retreated down the hill with their soldiers, more than a thousand people had fallen on the mountain.
"Woo !!" There were bursts of cheers from the position, and the soldiers cheered for their small victory, although it was only a small victory, Chen Gengpeng did not stop this behavior, but smiled and asked everyone to quickly reload their rifles and prepare for the next time to meet the enemy.
"You fought well just now, are there any casualties among the soldiers?" Huang Bai ran to Chen Gengpeng, who was on the front line, and asked.
"No, not even a single bruise." Chen Gengpeng's face revealed a sense of pride and pride.
Now in China, I don't know that the group charge is a kind of death-seeking behavior in the face of the current machine gun, this lesson has long been known to everyone in Europe, but now the three division commanders under Li Zongren also know, looking at the soldiers who fell down one by one just now who were still alive, the three of them were dripping blood in their hearts.
Looking at the two regiment commanders in front of them whose fear had not faded, the three division commanders did not blame the two of them, in fact, the three of them were also a little scared in their hearts, they could see that the other party had only released a company on the mountain, which could cause such huge casualties, if the other party had thousands of people, it would not be possible to completely annihilate their team." What do we do now? Why don't we go back?" There are only about 1,000 people on the other side, and they scared us away, so should we mess around?" Yes, do it again, but this time call the brothers, all disperse, the reason why there were so many casualties just now is because the brothers got too close, but unfortunately they didn't bring the cannon" "Okay, let's arrange it immediately, this time we must take this small hillside."
