"Report to the division commander, the 244th Regiment, the 251st Regiment, the 253rd Regiment, and the 3rd Battalion of the 246th Regiment have completed boarding at Aotou, Dadeng, and Lianhe respectively, and were originally scheduled to land in the center of Kinmen, and advance to divide Kinmen into two. Due to the westward drift of the tide, it arrived at the area of Longkou, Housha and Guningtou at about 1:30 a.m. on the 25th. In view of the change in the situation, the commander of the 28th Division asked us to change the cover area and shell Guanao, Xiyuan, Guanyinting Mountain, Guningtou and other places on the north bank of Kinmen and shoot fiercely! "The liaison staff officer reported to Liu Hai.

"What?" After listening to it, Liu Hai couldn't believe it, he didn't understand the direction of the tide of the sea-crossing operation, and didn't his covering artillery fire be in vain? "Inform the ghost cannon and Wu Fatzi of the new shelling direction, the ghost cannon is responsible for attacking Guanao and Xiyuan on the north shore of Kinmen, and Wu Fatzi is responsible for Guanyin Tingshan and Guningtou, and tell them to fire the artillery with all their might!" The bangs are a little angry. "Yes, Commander!" After the liaison staff officer agreed, he ran to make contact, and Liu Hai frowned and looked at the map of Kinmen. Liu Hai found that it would be best if he landed according to the original landing site, and the current landing site went ashore, where the area was very inconvenient to observe, and even if he shelled with all his strength, the effect would be quite limited!

"Have all the communist troops come ashore?" Hu Lian asked. "All of them have gone ashore, the size of the force is about three regiments, about 9,000 people, most of the weapons are infantry weapons, and at most there are a few mortars!" The staff officer said. "Excellent! Order the Bears of the Golden Gate to attack! The first target of the attack is the area of Guningtou, we must break through the communist defense line in one go, rush to the beach, the tide will be low in half an hour, the communist ships must not retreat, tell them that we must destroy all the communist ships crossing the sea, I will send gunboats to support them, land and sea attack, cut off the communist army's increase and retreat! Hu Lian excitedly gave his order, he knew that as long as his Golden Gate bear successfully killed the beach, then a great victory would be held in his hands, the communist army was tenacious, and without reinforcements and retreat, it could only be a dead end!

Hu Lian's killer Kinmen Bear is actually an American tank M5A1, which was organized by Hu Lian in the first battalion of the third tank regiment in Kinmen. The small size of Kinmen Island is not conducive to mobile tank operations. In order to respond to the emergency, the 1st Battalion of the 3rd Tank Regiment was airlifted from Taiwan to Kinmen and deployed in the Qionglin area of the main island. The site is located in the northern part of the concave part of the island, close to the sea, and the terrain is open. The tank battalion immediately made pre-war preparations, and used the seaside as a training ground for driving and shooting, familiarizing itself with the terrain and practicing coordination. Originally, he didn't plan to play any major role, but Hu Lian deserved to be a famous general, and he had a unique insight to discover the unique role of tanks on Kinmen Island, and regarded this as a killer feature!

The 244th Regiment, the main assault regiment of the People's Liberation Army, advanced to the vicinity of Qionglin, and the attack speed was very fast, but because it did not bring heavy weapons and the anti-tank battle was seriously underestimated, it quickly fell into passivity under the attack of 21 tanks! The M5A1 was armed with a 37-mm machine gun, two 7.62-mm machine guns, a 12.7-mm anti-aircraft machine gun, and the cannon of 21 such tanks and 63 machine guns fired fiercely, which was equivalent to the firepower of two infantry regiments. The commanders and fighters of the 244th Regiment resisted heroically, concentrating their firepower on the one hand, and organizing the demomen to bravely meet the enemy and blow up the tanks with clusters*. However, because the terrain was not convenient for concealment, it was very difficult to approach the tank, and many comrades were shot and killed when approaching the tank, but they still failed to destroy the tank, and soon the regiment suffered more than half of the casualties and lost the beachhead!

"Report, the 244th Regiment reported that they were attacked by enemy tanks in the Qionglin area and could not effectively destroy the enemy's tanks, and asked for our fire reinforcements!" The staff officer came to report. "What? Tank? Liu Hai was simply dumbfounded, he never thought that the enemy would deploy tanks on Kinmen Island, and he couldn't help but admire Hu Lian a little in his heart, he was simply speechless! Attack the target in depth with all your might, and give up the artillery fire to cover the area around Guningtou and Qionglin! Bangs gave the order. What the? Division commander, the 244th Regiment is in urgent need of fire support now, how can you stop the artillery cover? The staff officer asked, somewhat surprised. At such a distance, * cannot be used, the lethality of ordinary monolithic tanks is almost none, if the cannon passes, it is very likely to kill and injure the soldiers of the 244th Regiment around the tank, you go to inform Commander Ye immediately, and it is the biggest countermeasure to send the second batch of troops to Kinmen as soon as possible! Bangs said.

Liu Hai was right, but at this time, the defense line of the 244th Regiment had been broken through, and more than 20 tanks rushed into the last area of the 244th Regiment and began to shoot frantically and crush in a serpentine shape, and the 244th Regiment was dying but to no avail! The most terrible thing is that at this time, the low tide has begun, and all the ships that have not yet come and retreated are stranded on the beach, and the tanks immediately began to destroy the ships stranded on the beach one by one with *, plus the two gunboats that came from the sea, and the few ships that were lucky enough to go to sea were intercepted by gunboats, and none of the ships that transported the three regiments ashore returned! In this process, after Liu Hai discovered the opponent's gunboat, he once divided the cannon to strike, but because the distance was too far, only one gunboat was damaged!

"What? What did you say? Liu Hai grabbed the staff officer's hand and asked, "None of the ships have returned?" So how did the follow-up troops go ashore? "There is no way, now the landing force cannot be withdrawn, and the second group of troops cannot be reinforced, and our artillery fire is the only support given to them!" The staff officer said helplessly. "It is not possible to rely on artillery fire alone, although Kinmen Island is not big, but the troops are scattered and the firepower is limited, there is no way to take care of all of them, and the second batch of troops must be sent ashore as soon as possible, this is the only way!" Bangs said. "No, for this landing, we have collected all the sea-crossing ships within a radius of a hundred miles, and now not to mention the ships transporting the follow-up troops, we can't even find a large fishing boat!" The staff officer said. "Report, enemy gunboats and gunboats have been spotted on both sides of Kinmen Island, firing at Kinmen Island!" A liaison staff officer came in and said. "Let Wu Fatzi cover and shoot at both sides of Kinmen Island, and you must sink all the other side's gunboats and gunboats, or prevent it from reinforcing the national army on the island, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable!" Bangs said a little frantically.

"Great! Order the artillery to open fire with all their might, and the garrison on the island will launch a counterattack on all fronts, and all this group of communist troops must be wiped out on Kinmen Island! "Hu Lian is very excited!" Report, our gunboats and gunboats have already thrown into artillery bombardment on the east and west sides of the island, and it is only a matter of time before the communist army is destroyed by us! "A staff officer reports." Very good! Hu Lian said, "Order the reserves to also all be put into the counterattack!" ”。 With Hu Lian's order, the garrison of Kinmen Island began to counterattack with all its might, and Gao Kuiyuan, commander of the 18th Army of the Kuomintang, commanded the 118th Division with the third company of chariots to attack the People's Liberation Army; The 18th Division of the 19th Army, which had landed and was stationed in Qionglin, was also under the command of Commander Gao of the 18th Army. The 53rd Regiment of the division, which had not yet disembarked, was transferred to Xiaojinmen and landed, under the command of Li Yuncheng, commander of the Fifth Army; Liu Yunhan, commander of the 19th Army, contacted Shen Xiangkui, commander of the 25th Army, and commanded the 14th Division of the army, as well as a part of the 13th Division, to advance north from Houpu in Kinmen to meet the People's Liberation Army retreating from Anqi and Putou to the south, and actively advance to Guningtou, and all the mortars of the 40th Division were attached to the 14th Division to strengthen its firepower. The commander of the chariot battalion put two rows of chariots in reserve and marched to Qionglin to stand by.

The 246th Regiment of the People's Liberation Army once occupied Shuangru Mountain, but was counterattacked and defeated by the armored forces of the Kuomintang Army at dawn. The 253rd Regiment of the People's Liberation Army (PLA), which landed at Huwei, occupied Guanyin Mountain and the Huwei Heights, and was forced to retreat by noon on the 25th. Li Guang, commander of the 14th Division of the Kuomintang Army, charged with a bayonet in front of him, but his soldiers all fell to the ground, and he was the only one who rushed a few steps and died. Hu Lian and Gao Kuiyuan went to the front enemy in person, braving guns and cannons to cheer up the officers and soldiers. Hu Lian said: "Forget the shame of the double stack?" He also took out wine and roast chicken and fed the wounded soldiers himself. The Kuomintang troops charged again. In fact, only one instructor and one instructor of the People's Liberation Army were left in the defenders on the heights, and the rest were killed. Knowing that victory was hopeless, the two simultaneously committed suicide with a gun.

The fierce fighting on Kinmen Island lasted all day, and the commander of the 28th Division was so anxious that he immediately ordered people to desperately piece together the ships and organize troops to prepare for reinforcements, and the PLA was reinforced by two companies of the regiment led by Sun Yunxiu, commander of the 246th Regiment, and two companies of the 85th Division. The 246th Regiment landed at the end of the lake; The other two companies landed at Guningtou.

The two companies of the 246th Regiment broke through the encirclement at dawn and joined up with the People's Liberation Army defending the place at Guningtou, and in the early morning Gao Kuiyuan, commander of the 18th Army of the Kuomintang Army, commanded a counterattack, and the 118th Division attacked Lincuo from the coastline north of Putou. The fierce battle in Lin Cuo was due to the People's Liberation of Kinmen Campaign

According to the permanent fortifications fired back. At around 9 o'clock, the Air Force of the National Revolutionary Army took turns bombing and firing. The People's Liberation Army adopted street fighting, and the battle between the two sides was fierce, and the Kuomintang army captured Lincuo at 12 o'clock, and Nanshan at 15 o'clock. At 11 o'clock, Luo Zhuoying, deputy director of the Southeast Military and Political Chief's Office, and Hu Lian, commander of the 12th Corps, arrived at the Kinmen battlefield, and Hu Lian took over the command.

The 352nd Regiment of the Kuomintang Army had entered Beishan at 15 o'clock, and Li Shulan, commander of the 118th Division, replaced the 352nd Regiment with the 353rd Regiment and continued the attack mission with the chariot. At this time, the People's Liberation Army has run out of ammunition and food, and the time has come for Hu Lian to harvest!
