Chapter Forty-Seven: Capturing the Two Stunned Men Alive
readx;
Don't look at Li Xuetong is only 23 years old this year, and it has only been two years and three months since he was arrested. Although he has only studied private school for two years www.biquge.info he has been diligent and diligent since he was a child, and he is known as a "second stunned". After receiving the guidance of his predecessors, he was sent to learn to shoot artillery, and in just one year, he became the top in artillery. In this regard, he has a kind of kindness to repay the kindness of the company commander and Zhang Zhenhan.
As the platoon commander of the artillery company of the battalion directly under the division headquarters, he was very grateful to the division commander Zhang Zhenhan for his promotion, so he believed in Zhang Zhenhan's words very much, and even in the face of being besieged by the Red Army in this mountain recess of less than one square kilometer, he was full of confidence, because Zhang Zhenhan said: "The Red Army is a good hand at fighting guerrillas, but it is not good at positional warfare. ”
I don't know if other soldiers of the national army also believe such absurd words, anyway, their morale is very high. In particular, after several hours of fighting, although he did not break through, he felt more and more that the Red Army's siege was insufficient, and he was more convinced of the words of the division commander.
At the beginning, Li Xuetong felt that it was a little inappropriate to deploy the artillery positions and machine-gun positions on the second line of defense, instead of next to the division headquarters of the third line of defense, and to take advantage of the superiority in the height there to strike at the enemy, but the company commander said that the Red Army did not have heavy weapons, and it was the same wherever it was deployed, and that it was deployed on the second line of defense, so that when it broke through the encirclement, it could rush to the top of the hill more quickly and deal the most direct fatal blow to the Red Army -- if it were not for the fear that the Red Army would desperately fight a counter-charge, he would still want to deploy the artillery position to the first line of defense.
Li Xuetong persuaded two sentences, seeing that the company commander had to do this, he didn't say much, anyway, he has always maintained the authority of the company commander, because he can be a platoon commander, that is, the company commander personally promoted.
After a few hours, he admired the company commander's old ways, because the Red Army really did not have heavy weapons, and they could not take the second line of defense. In particular, seeing that the Red Army desperately launched two counter-charges, although they broke through the first line of defense, they both fell on the second line of defense, which made him more and more confident to give the Red Army an internal and external attack.
Gradually, he was like his comrades-in-arms, extremely arrogant and unscrupulous, and even repelled the Red Army's counter-charge every time, or his comrades-in-arms were driven down by the Red Army from the top of the mountain, but the Red Army did not dare to pursue, making them more and more confident and rampant.
This swelling of confidence made them so incomparably heartbroken, that when they heard that the Red Army's reinforcements had arrived and that the charge had failed again, they were not so worried, believing that even so, the Red Army would not be able to break through their heavily armed defenses, and that they would be more or less killed.
In the evening, the gunfire gradually stopped everywhere, and Li Xuetong and his comrades-in-arms gathered together for dinner. The meal is very good, pork stewed vermicelli, of course, this pork is snatched from the people's homes, everyone doesn't say it, they know it.
"Huh~!Huh~!"
As an artilleryman, if you can't even hear what this thing is, then you should be killed.
Li Xuetong, who was bragging and eating with his comrades-in-arms, heard the unusually piercing sound of shells flying, and his first reaction was actually dumbfounded: Didn't it mean that the Red Army was poor and couldn't even afford to wear a set of good clothes, when did there be artillery?
"Boom! boom!"
Li Xuetong, who was stunned by this subversive scene, was immediately awakened by the explosion of the cannonball, but before he could react, he was knocked down by his comrades. As soon as he pushed away his comrades who were pressing on his body, he was about to open his mouth to let his men resist the small steel cannon and transfer the position, when a miserable scream came from his ears, and when he looked up, he shouted in his heart, "It's over!"
There was nothing to do on their artillery position except for the dirt that had been blown up at the falling point, but the machine gun position was finished: two shells, one fell in the center of the ring fortification of the machine gun position, and the most fatal thing was that the six machine gunners were eating in a circle, and the shells that were not going to die happened to fall in the center of the circle, and all the six people who were blown up flew up, flesh and blood flew sideways, and most of the ring fortifications immediately collapsed. Another shot landed at the other end, blasting a heavy machine gun and a light machine gun directly into the sky. In this way, even if the machine gun can still be used, the machine gunner is finished, and it will no longer be effective for a while.
Artillery knows that the first shot is generally a test shot, and the second shot is a really fatal fixed-point bombardment. It is said that when artillery strikes the enemy, the most important target is naturally the enemy's artillery position -- and more important than this is only the enemy's headquarters. But as soon as the Red Army's gunners came, they killed the machine-gun position, and in Li Xuetong's view, this was definitely intentional by the Red Army, because the Red Army did not have heavy weapons, and the first to kill the machine-gun position must be to launch a charge and capture their heavy weapons. If the artillery position is placed in the center, it is fine, but now, these two positions are connected, if there is no cover of the machine gun position, once the Red Army launches a charge and approaches, their small steel guns will be useless, this is the main reason why Li Xuetong shouted that he was finished.
But the fact is that the Red Army's gunners did set the first target as the artillery position where Li Xuetong was located, but it was a pity that these two gunners of the Red Army were not proficient in their studies, and in addition, the Red Army had few shells and was extremely expensive, and there were no shells to practice in weekday training.
As soon as he saw that the machine-gun position was finished, and some of his men jumped up to carry the small steel cannons, the purpose of which was naturally to divert, Li Xuetong's experience played a decisive role, and he immediately shouted: "Lie down! Lie down! The enemy's second batch of shells is coming." ”
As if to confirm his experience, as soon as the words fell, there was a "boom" sound from the sky, which soon made them feel the earth shake under the piercing "boom" explosion.
Just after the explosion, although the head that was blown up was buzzing, his body was a little shaky, and his legs and stomach were spinning, Li Xuetong still stood up strongly, and experience told him that now is the best opportunity to transfer. Forcibly endured all kinds of discomfort on his body, and shouted hoarsely while running towards the small steel cannon outside the knife: "Come and move the small steel cannon and transfer it to the third line of defense...... Don't forget the shells......"
The men rushed up, picked up a thing, and ran out.
As soon as he ran more than ten meters, two shells rushed into the sky and landed on the previous artillery position.
"Rush!"
"Kill!"
"Shoot or kill!"
"Da! da! da......"
"Bang, bang, bang......"
Just when Li Xuetong was relieved, shouts of killing and various gunshots suddenly came from all sides. Li Xuetong, who was frightened, changed his complexion greatly, turned his head to look, and saw that the mountains were full of Red Army soldiers rushing down the mountain, like a torrent, rolling over. Whether it is in terms of the number of people or the intensity of the gunfire, or the momentum, it is definitely more than twice as much as before. The veteran man only had to look at it to understand that this was the Red Army launching a general offensive.
Li Xuetong really deserves the title of a stunned man, to this point, knowing that he has no power to return to heaven but does not know how to flee, but he wants to repay his kindness, and he actually has a desperate heart.
"Don't run, set up the little steel cannon!"
Probably because he was righteous on weekdays and won the support of his subordinates, he roared angrily, and his subordinates actually gathered one after another, and they really didn't run, and hurriedly began to set up small steel cannons and load shells...... What best illustrates his stunned character is that with the counteroffensive launched by the Red Army, others knew that they were absolutely defeated when they saw this ferocious momentum, and they turned around and fled for their lives, or simply raised their guns and surrendered.
waited until the Red Army encountered no resistance, smoothly broke through the first line of defense, and quickly killed the second line of defense, and then he had no choice but to take his men to carry small steel cannons to the third line of defense again. For this reason, he also deliberately ran after him to calm the hearts of his subordinates.
Zhang Qingshan took the assault team as the vanguard of the Nanshan counter-charge, like a tiger descending the mountain, playing a triumphant song all the way with fierce momentum, and broke through the enemy's first line of defense with almost no losses. It was too late to catch the prisoners, so he grabbed the gun that had held up the prisoners in the place he had passed, threw them to his side, and continued to charge.
The enemy's second line of defense originally wanted to resist, but it never thought that the Red Army suddenly launched a general attack, and the number of people was much larger than before, so that the first line of defense was suddenly defeated, and then the second line of defense was broken by the comrades who were defeated from the first line of defense, so they saw that they could not resist, and simply turned around and slipped away, or surrendered directly.
After Zhang Qingshan led his team to break through the enemy's second line of defense first, he saw at a glance Li Xuetong and others who were running at the end, carrying small steel cannons and shell boxes -- they still wanted to resist, so naturally it was impossible to abandon these things, and others either ran away with guns or simply ran empty-handed, which was naturally faster than them, and it also made them extremely conspicuous in this group of routs.
Zhang Qingshan chased after them without thinking about it. For this reason, seeing that someone around him was about to shoot at them, Zhang Qingshan also shouted to stop them: "They are artillerymen, don't shoot, try to catch them alive." ”
There were veterans all around, and when they heard this, they naturally understood that they were going to put this group of artillery and their weapons together, and suddenly everyone shouted and chased after them.
When Li Xuetong heard this, he looked back and was furious. He was also so stubborn that he dropped the shell box and reached for the pistol on his waist.
As soon as he took out the gun and was about to lift it, he suddenly felt a pain in his head, and a box cannon fell, and the feeling was that he was hit in the forehead by the box gun.
He covered his forehead and looked up, only to see a tall young man only four or five meters away from him, rushing towards him. Before he could react, the young man jumped to his feet and pounced.
Immediately, the two rolled on the ground and pinched each other's necks.
Peng Peng saw Zhang Qingshan's posture with the other party, and hurriedly helped, the box cannon in his hand was against the opponent's head, and shouted: "Don't move! If you move again, I will kill you." ”
Even if you are stunned, you can't do it at this time, you can only be captured alive. Li Xuetong stood up unconvinced, and did not forget to look back at his comrades-in-arms, but found that his comrades-in-arms had been captured alive and were looking at them dejectedly. Li Xuetong immediately straightened his neck and shouted: "I don't accept it! If you have the ability to let me go, let's fight alone." ”
"Poof!" Zhang Qingshan was happy when he heard this: In such an environment, you still want to go head-to-head, tsk! This is definitely a dumbfounder.
