Chapter 121: Heavy Punch

The First Division of the Shandong People's Liberation Army and Zhucheng and other local troops, under the command of Chen Shiyu, Tang Liang, Zhang Xingchu, Liang Xingchu, Liang Biye, Gu Mu and others, swept across the south side of the eastern section of Jiaoji Road.

However, after hearing this astonishing news, the enemy in the city, under the personal command of Zhang Buyun, quickly selected more than 800 "death squads" and made four fierce swoops against the People's Liberation Army with strong firepower, but what the puppet army encountered was a sharp steel knife -- the "Tancheng Model Company," one of the honorary companies of the Shandong People's Liberation Army that won all battles, and it smashed the puppet army's attack in succession.

So, our army launched a counter-charge to completely defeat the puppet army, captured more than 20 alive, the soldiers who had just been liberated from Jiaoxian County under the influence of the warriors, also captured a beautiful "Czech" light machine gun, the company and took advantage of the victory to seize the important position in the east of the city - Longwang Temple, the army followed to unfold, completely cleared the suburbs of the city, and tightly surrounded the county.

The next day, Chen Shiyu and Liang Xingchu asked Gu Mu to send Xu Yunduo to deliver an ultimatum to Zhang Yi, ordering him to surrender quickly. Xu Yunduo took Chen Shiyu's handwritten letter and handed it to Zhang Buyun. After reading it, Zhang Yi laughed and said: "Just tell me to surrender, but don't be an official, don't dream." You poor peasant have a lot of courage, go back and tell them to withdraw their troops immediately, and if you really think about the poor people of the city, don't attack our city. Otherwise, I will kill the common people to eat, and I will defend the cities to the death! ”

"Why bother? Heroes don't eat the losses in front of them......" Yun Duo still wanted to persuade him, but was intercepted by Zhang Buyun.

"His mother is X, the poor ghost who came, if you don't leave, you don't have to go, be a soldier's lunch." Zhang Buyun said with a glaring eye on the cow's eggs.

After Yun recaptured, although the artillery of the People's Liberation Army was aimed at the city with its huge mouth, it did not fire a single shell, because the commanders of the military region and division, General Chen Shiyu and Liang Xingchu, were always unwilling to give the people the slightest loss, and they continuously ordered their subordinates to patiently write letters to tell Zhang Wei to "not make unnecessary sacrifices", but the facts exceeded the limit of his patience - Zhang Cheng did not have the slightest remorse.

On the afternoon of the 4th, Commander Chen Shiyu and Division Commander Liang Xingchu gave an order, which was very peculiar, and Commander Chen said to a staff comrade in a short and loud tone: "The artillery regiment is bombarded with artillery!" He said in an emphatic tone: "Accurately destroy the enemy's barracks in the southeast corner, but tell the artillerymen: do not damage civilian houses!" ”

"Yes, we must not hurt the common people, and we must bombard the enemy's military base according to the enemy army map provided by the inner line." Tang Liang added.

Five minutes later, shells flew into the enemy's barracks, causing a huge explosion and bursts of smoke and dust. The war soils squatting in the foxholes waved happily and shouted: "Good! Good! Again! ……”

On the fifth day, the enemy still refused to surrender, and Division Commander Liang said with a little anger: "Zhang Buyun will destroy him if he doesn't surrender!" ”

Chen Shiyu carefully followed the battle plan, looked at Liang Xingjunior, and said with a smile: "Division Commander Liang, please give orders to the troops, and the troops will approach Chengguan from the east and west. ”

"Yes! Chief of Staff, quickly order the Old Sixth Regiment and the Thirteenth Regiment to attack the city from the east and west. Liang Xingchu looked at the division chief of staff and ordered.

"Yes!" The chief of staff quickly conveyed the order.

After seeing that Division Commander Liang had given the order, the military reporter Wan Liyun gently came over and slapped Liang Xingchu and said: "Report chief, the army reporter Wan Liyun asked for instructions to go to the front line for an interview, please approve!" ”

"This, this, this is too dangerous." Liang Xingchu hesitated to look at Commander Chen, only to see Chen Shiyu nodding at him, "Okay!" But be sure to stay safe! ”

"Yes!" Wan Liyun saluted and ran out.

When Wan Liyun, a reporter accompanying the army, arrived at Dongguan with the army, the gunfire was as fierce as fried beans.

Commanders at all levels skillfully led their troops in street battles on the streets, which were less than five meters wide. Although the enemy's fire tightly blocked every street entrance, the soldiers skillfully used all possible blind spots, the back wall, from the counter in the corridor, from the mound of earth where snacks were sold, from the narrow window, gradually leaping yard by yard, jumping into the street houses in a very short time, and from the houses with bayonets or work tools to shoot holes, flanking the enemy, and in only 20 minutes, they completely controlled Dongguan.

The warriors of our army were more agile in destroying and renovating all the street fortifications, so that the entire city wall was completely humiliated in front of them.

At night, the rain was pouring down, and the night was so dark that you couldn't see your fingers, but the enemy's lighting equipment illuminated the city walls.

At this time, Xiguan was also engaged in a fierce battle, the regiment's main attack force of the first explosion group Qiu Yibao, Li Dasheng, Li Chunhe, Shao Dongshi braved the heavy rain to send **, suddenly a loud noise, the whole city shook, wooden stakes, deer firewood in the fireworks in all directions, at this moment the second explosion group Xiang Zhenchang, Fang Shounong and lifted a bag of sixty or seventy pounds of **, from the fire straight to the city gate hole, but was panicked by the enemy discovered, desperately put piles of grenades down the city......

Without exception, when Division Commander Liang, who was commanding at the front line, saw that our army's attack was blocked, he glared at him and said: "All the heavy machine guns here will be hit hard at the city gate!" ”

"Yes!"

"Whew! Call! Call! ...... "The heavy machine guns of the People's Liberation Army began to fire to cover the explosion, and immediately extinguished many of the lights at the head of the city. In order to reduce casualties, the soldier Xiang Zhenchang waved his hand and asked Fang Shounong to go back first, he went to complete the task alone, but because of the muddy water, he didn't put the ** in the proper position twice in a row, and he hurriedly leaned up with medicine, and finally made him successful.

Pulling the detonator and running back, he slipped again, and the enemy's fire immediately poured on him, and bullets and heavy rain flew past him, but Xiang Zhenchang quickly rolled out of danger, and when he was undecided. ** sounded, and a large piece of the wall collapsed. At this time, the commando team launched a charge like a tiger, and he jumped up and followed everyone with the muddy water all over his body......

On the 6th, both sides shelled each other from morning to noon, and the machine rifles were fired intermittently, and at one o'clock in the afternoon, the cut suddenly stopped, and the command post was silent. Division Commander Liang discussed with Commander Chen and other commanders for a while, and told the commanders of each regiment by telephone: "The enemy has the possibility of breaking through the encirclement, so we must pay special attention!" ”

On this day, Liang Xingchu, Chen Shiyu and others sat on the command position of Dongling, which was less than two miles away from the city, and they constantly inspected the enemy with binoculars.

At half past five o'clock in the afternoon, all preparations for the siege were ready, and the team secretly approached the city along the east and west passes, and the third company of the sixth regiment served as the main attack.

The machine gun shooters of our army wrote crookedly on the machine guns: "Go to Zhucheng!" ”

The bombers posted a few bright slogans on the **: "The ladder is well erected, the enemy can't run!" ”

"The ladder frame is successful, and the guarantee is to break into the city!" The fighting mood of the soldiers is unusually full, when the reporter Wan Liyun asked Wang Chongsheng, a combat warrior of the "Tancheng Model Company", about his thoughts on this battle? He smiled and said, "When I was fighting, I couldn't think of anything, I only thought about how to destroy the enemy quickly!" ”(..)
