Chapter 37 After the Break

Thank you for the book friend Shenmu Fishing Township for your reward ^_^ again

Such a unit cannot be ignored by Hu Weidong, but Luo Zhuoying, the field commander and deputy commander of the 18th Army, is now also riding a tiger, and originally thought that the rapid march to the battlefield could stab the enemy when the battle was stalemate, who knew that Liu Zhi's 100,000 army would be defeated so quickly, but now it has become his own more than 30,000 people who took the initiative to gather in front of the superior strength of the enemy army with high morale after the new victory (because of Liu Zhi's previous prestige, the 18th Army generally overestimated the strength of the Red 15th Army. )

"Vice-seat, the red bandits are powerful, I'm afraid it will be difficult to defeat the enemy, it's better to retreat quickly." , Huo Yuzhang, commander of the 14th Division, persuaded.

Luo Zhuoying thought so deeply and was about to order a retreat, but Huang Wei, the commander of the 11th Division, the number one main force of the 18th Army, shouted with tiger eyes, "The deputy seat must not be, the red bandits are known as iron feet, and they are beyond the reach of our army. Rather than this, it is better to hold on to the wall, and with the low ability of the red bandits to attack fortified positions, they must not go down for a few days, and in the meantime, they can send a telegram to the chairman of the committee to send planes to support, and the red bandits will inevitably break the siege and leave, and luck haode may still have a chance to annihilate the enemy army. ”

"This is too risky, this red bandit is different from the past, it seems to be extremely good at attacking fortifications, we are afraid that we will do what they want to stay, but it is indeed necessary to leave the troops after the break", Luo Zhuoying muttered, but it is extremely dangerous for the whole army to stay, not to mention that it is only a part of the troops that have been divided? It sounds better after the break, but in fact, it is simply an outcast who delays the pursuit of the enemy, and who is willing to take on this heavy responsibility?

"I'll stay." , a young regiment commander said angrily, but there was a cynical smile on his face.

Luo Zhuoying saw that it turned out to be Hu Lian, the commander of the 66th Regiment of the 11th Division, although this son was not yet under the 28th Army, he was highly valued by Chen Cheng, and now he has confessed to it, which is really a pity, but how can he have a more suitable candidate? So Hu Lian stayed with his 66th regiment

"The time is too short, but even if it is a field fortification, it should be enough to deal with those red bandits, even if they have a lot of artillery, they may not be willing to use too many shells, right?" , Hu Lian thought about it, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously bloomed with a smile, if he could repel the enemy in this battle, he would definitely be famous all over the world, and then he wouldn't have to be this little regiment commander anymore, right?

Hu Lian's self-confidence is not without basis, his 66th Regiment has a total strength of more than 3,000 people, which is one of the strongest main regiments of the 11th Division, before leaving he asked Luo Zhuoying for a lot of artillery, automatic weapons and some elite soldiers, the current 66th Regiment is already a reinforced regiment with a strength of more than 5,000 people, and the firepower is close to that of a division of the National Army

"So fast?" , Hu Lian, who heard the whistling sound of the cannonballs, couldn't help but be startled, but instead of panicking, he sneered, "But it's a pity that our fortifications are digging faster."

In view of the absolute superiority of our troops in this battle, in order to avoid unnecessary accidental casualties, the first attack of the 15 th Red Army still adopted the old tactic of "artillery preparation - infantry charge"; after a burst of gunsmoke, the Red Army assault force of more than 800 men bravely rushed to the enemy position on a small hill under the encouragement of the charge, followed by a main force of more than 2,000 men

"It's already close, and the weishenme enemy still hasn't opened fire?" Hu Weidong suddenly felt a palpitation and was about to order the assault troops to retreat, but he saw that countless automatic weapons on the enemy's position suddenly opened fire at the same time, weaving a dense network of fire, and the Red Army assault troops, which were only more than 100 meters away from the enemy's forward position, could not even lie down, and were swept to the ground in pieces. Although Hu Weidong had taught his subordinates how to preserve themselves under the enemy's strong firepower, first, the advantage in this battle was too obvious, and everyone was somewhat underestimated by the enemy, and second, there were some things that could never be learned without experiencing it firsthand. But it is a pity that most of these hundreds of Red Army commanders and fighters have never had the opportunity to test their experience...

"Lei Li, you gave me back all the tactics I taught so quickly?" Hu Weidong said angrily, the infantry tactics he taught his subordinates were summed up by the people's army after more than 20 years of bloody battles in history, and played a miraculous effect in the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, and can greatly reduce the damage of the enemy's firepower to themselves under the premise of not affecting their own firepower. The lateral machine gun fire, which has the greatest lethality of infantry, can only knock out half a squad at most, but everyone has obviously been trained in training, but in actual combat, they still can't strictly enforce it, and Hu Weidong is not to blame for being angry. This is only the most basic tactic, and if it is strictly required, these tactics must also be flexibly changed according to the enemy's firepower, troops, and combat effectiveness.

"Commander, give us another chance, this time it's a light enemy", almost without killing a single enemy, the commander of the main regiment of the old independent division who lost hundreds of his subordinates took off his hat and grabbed it in his hand, beat his thigh fiercely and said,

Hu Weidong's face was solemn, and he said in a deep voice, "Then give you another chance, the artillery will carry out non-stop attacks to support you, if you still can't take the position, don't come back to see me!" Wait, I'll give you another battalion, this time the enemy seems to be very unusual"

Lei Li couldn't help but feel hot in his heart, due to his poor foundation and lack of experience, he was the only one among the veteran soldiers of the militia team who became the regiment commander, and he couldn't embarrass the old chief no matter what! In order to break through the enemy's firepower network, more troops were needed, and Lei Li this time the remaining 2,000 people of the whole regiment (Hu Lian's position was well chosen, and the superior strength of the Red 15th Army could not be deployed, and at most one regiment of troops could only be sent to attack the 66th Regiment at the same time, otherwise the personnel would be too dense and would be equivalent to death in the face of the enemy's massive automatic firepower. Anyway, as long as the enemy position is broken, the commander will definitely provide fire support and send reinforcements in due course.

However, unlike the last time when the enemy had been holding back, this time, when they were still more than 2,000 meters away from the enemy, they suddenly fired a series of shells of all kinds from the enemy's position, and the landing point was quite accurate, blowing down hundreds of people at once, and the morale of the assault troops was immediately hit by a lot of blows. But at this time, they had no way to retreat, but to move forward bravely and avenge the dead comrades!
