At this time, Hu Weidong had already checked the parameters of all field artillery, and immediately ordered, "Field artillery has unlimited rapid fire!" Hit until the barrel is red! Mountain artillery mortars immediately moved forward, ready to take over support fire at any moment! ”

The lethality of 75mm caliber grenades is still very powerful for the Chinese army in this era, although Hu Lian is brave, he was also overwhelmed by artillery fire for a while, and he couldn't raise his head for a while, muttering and scolding, "Damn, why do these red bandits have so many cannons?" I feel like we've become red bandits, and they're the national army."

After the field artillery, a large number of mountain artillery and mortars that advanced to the effective firing range also roared one after another, although the power was slightly weaker, but it was more than the field artillery, and the firing speed was also faster, under the continuous bombardment of the shells that fell like rain, although the national army had simple but very reasonable field fortifications to rely on, it still suffered huge losses, and the artillery positions that had just been exposed were all shot down by Hu Weidong's command of the artillery after measuring the direction, and nearly half of the casualties were caused by the detonation of the shells. The light and heavy machine guns were also the focus of the artillery of the 15th Red Army, and most of them were lost in a short period of time

Suddenly, Hu Lian's face, which was already nervous, changed again, because he found that the enemy's infantry had begun to charge, but the enemy's artillery fire had not stopped, completely ignoring the possible accidental injuries, obviously this is a completely new tactic, if you don't want to find a way to contain it, the enemy will inevitably rush into his position in one breath, and at that time, the morale will collapse, but the army will be defeated

"Cao Jinlun, all on the bayonet, counter-charge!" , Hu Lian yelled with a hideous face.

"Yes, Tuanza!" Cao Jinlun, the deputy of the 66th Regiment, responded loudly, took a deep breath, put Xueliang's bayonet on it, and shouted, "Assassinate everyone, rush out with Lao Tzu, and kill the red bandits!" ”

The artillery of the 15 th Red Army was dumbfounded at once, and if the shelling continued, the accidental damage would be too great, and they could only stop firing the artillery and watch the assault troops fight bloodily with the enemy who rushed out of the position.

It stands to reason that the Red Army has always been good at assassinating white-edged people, but after all, the Red 15th Army is a newly pulled up team, although it is more advanced in technology and tactics (the techniques and tactics of white-knuckle assassination of the People's Liberation Army were learned from small Japan, and they have been improved, and they have obvious advantages over the white-edged assassination techniques and tactics of this era. ), but most of them lack the experience of bayonets. The 66th Regiment of the 11th Division of the 18th Army of the Nationalist Army, which fought with them, was an extremely rare outlier in the Nationalist Army, and they were very good at white-knuckle assassination (Note 1), and Cao Jinlun, who took the lead in the charge, was a fierce general who had been battle-hardened, far from being comparable to the vigorous and powerful who had just been promoted

"Don't you feel ashamed that the Red Army actually lost in a white-knuckle battle? What about Thunderbolt? Don't you dare to come to see me? Hu Weidong said angrily with a pale face.

"The regimental commander sacrificed this time the enemy was different from the previous ones, and the rush was completely deadly, and the bayonet was especially ruthless," said a young soldier with a crying voice, and it was clear that he had been greatly traumatized. If in other units, this kind of soldier is likely to wither for the rest of his life, but fortunately, the Red Army has political workers, and there are ways to restore the fighting spirit of the soldiers

However, in order to wipe out this few thousand people, the Red 15th Army had already sacrificed more than 2,000 people and consumed a large number of precious artillery shells, but it was still unable to step into the enemy's position. Not only did the people below begin to waver, but even Hu Weidong himself was a little hesitant, but at this time he heard someone singing...,

I saw Mao Zetan staring at the blood-soaked hill, and sang, "Get up, hungry and cold slaves, get up, all shijie sufferers, old shijie beat the flowers, slaves, get up, there has never been a savior, and it doesn't depend on the immortal emperor, to create the happiness of mankind, it all depends on ourselves"

Soon, the commanders and fighters of the whole army unconsciously sang along, "The most hateful poisonous snakes and beasts have eaten up our flesh and blood, once they are wiped out, the bright red sun will shine all over the world."

The song soon spread to the position of the national army, Hu Lian suddenly felt unprecedented pressure, although the national army won two consecutive victories, but under the fierce artillery fire of the Red Army, their casualties were not much less than those of the Red Army, and a few more times he would have to fight all the people, but even for the sake of face, Hu Lian would hold on to the end, until the enemy retreated or he died in battle, although he thought that he had no talent but no merit, his heart was somewhat unwilling

Hu Weidong remembered the tradition of the Nationalist Army that "friendly troops are as immovable as mountains in difficulty," and finally made up his mind to attack again, and agreed that Mao Zetan would lead the special task force to take the main attack. This episode made Hu Weidong suddenly think of the most suitable position for Mao Zetan, "Leading by example in peacetime, being good at agitation before the war, and taking the lead in wartime, aren't these the three abilities that the political commissar needs most?" ”

Mao Zetan was very enthusiastic when agitating the soldiers, but when he really started fighting, he seemed very calm, and once there was a gap in artillery support, the commandos all turned to crawl forward under his orders to avoid the enemy's machine gun bullets, thus greatly reducing casualties.

"This time it seems to be more difficult to deal with than the last time", Hu Lian's heart tightened, but seeing that the enemy was gradually approaching and more and more shells were falling, he still had to order again, "Bayonet!" ”

"Grenades, 1, 2, 3, throw!" Although Mao Zetan was blocked by the smoke of gunpowder, he heard the enemy's shouts getting closer and closer in the gap between the explosions of the shells, and immediately calculated the time and ordered, almost all of the hundreds of grenades exploded over the enemy, and suddenly exploded a large area, Hu Lian didn't have time to feel heartache, and he heard another order from the opposite side, "Submachine gun!" ”

Note 1: The 33rd Regiment of the "Tiger Regiment", which was famous during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the War of Liberation, was formed from the 66th Regiment as the backbone, and it gave full play to this specialty to the extreme
