Chapter Thirty-Eight - Blocking War III

"Damn, the artillery fire of the Gui army is really worthy of being French. It is much better than the British artillery," Zheng Guodong, the commander of the second company of the Fourth Battalion who was ordered to hold the first line of defense in Mashan, cursed and spit out the mud in his mouth, lying on the position, shaking his head, shaking off the dust on his face. Just now, the sound of the Gui army roared the cannons at the foot of the mountain directly covered the main position of the Second Company. The gravel and soil were flying all over the sky, and many soldiers were scratched by hard stones.

"Enter the battle, enter the battle, the enemy will come up," Zheng Guodong waved his pistol and shouted loudly at the soldiers squatting in the trenches: "Machine gunner, machine gunner, what about you!"

With the company commander's shouting, the new recruits who were unable to distinguish between the east, south, west and north were unable to distinguish between the east, south, west and north by a burst of artillery fire, quickly entered their own position, and new grenades were neatly arranged in a convenient position. Although they had been very hard and brave in training in the past, most of the soldiers saw blood for the first time, went to the battlefield for the first time, and truly faced death for the first time. The mental pressure can be imagined, and the torn artillery fire indirectly gave them a war.

The soldiers loaded bullets, looked down at the foot of the mountain, staring at the enemy gradually became clear, holding guns and arching their waists, using the rocks that could be avoided along the way, and climbing upwards. The heavy machine guns that covered the charge of the Gui army made dull gunshots, and bullets passed by the soldiers like broad beans, trying to suppress the firepower of the Sichuan Army on the mountain. The soldiers in the trench had a steel helmet on their heads, and were hit by bullets from time to time to make a sound of "dang, dang". The impact of the bullets made their bodies lean backwards inertia!

"Fight!" As Zheng Guodong shouted, the anger accumulated in the hearts of the soldiers, he pulled the trigger light and heavy machine guns, and the rifle fired bullets alternately. The nearest enemy of the Gui army was only a dozen meters away from the front position. He picked up a sweet potato grenade, took the ring, delayed for one second, and raised his grenade in his hand and threw it out. The grenade flew parabolicly under the inertia of arm strength, exploded flowers, and took away the enemy's fragile body within a few meters.

As the fierce battle continued, the Gui army and the People's Army continued to invest in vital forces in order to compete for the high power of Mashan. After two hours of fighting, the Gui army had filled in the forces of two regiments and organized more than ten strong attacks, but were stubbornly resisted by the People's Army.

"Battery Commander, please rest assured. As long as I, Zheng Guodong, is alive, the position of Fumashan is here," Zheng Guodong guarded the phone with a hoarse voice. The entire position of Fumashan is about a thousand meters long, and the defense of the Fourth Battalion, the second, third, fourth, fifth companies, and second companies is quite flat, so the focus of the Gui army's offensive is also on the second company's position.

The fourth battalion commander Ouyang Jun rested on the phone in his hand and observed the position of the second company. The fourth battalion troops were mainly pieced together from other regiments, and the command and coordination of the entire army were still lacking. At the same time, he was extremely disagreeing with the idea that the regiment headquarters repeatedly reiterated that the artillery on the mountain should not be used. Before each attack, the enemy implemented firepower support to suppress their battalion mortars, which increased unnecessary casualties of the troops.

Lin Siyu has been waiting at the command post of the regiment headquarters, and the front-line information was continuously accurately sent to her. Since the war started, her face has been calm and calm, and her eyes have been staring at the detailed map around Chengguan Town that she had just obtained. What she thought about is not the possibility of blocking the Gui army, but the possibility of further eating the Gui army.

Other troops of the newly formed Sixth Brigade were coming quickly. It is estimated that Sun Wu of the Special First Division must be cursing at this time. The Gui army was eager to capture the Wemashan and gave him a rare opportunity. Should he consider taking the Fifth Battalion troops that he arrived later and stabbing behind the Third Division of the Gui army, cutting off the enemy's retreat. Even if it is difficult to wipe out the enemy completely, the Third Division will completely lose its combat effectiveness.

Lin Siyu still underestimated his influence. As soon as she led her troops to leave behind the marching opportunities set by the brigade, the entire Central Army Command had to revolve around her. Sun Wu was not cursing at this moment, but was really cursing. He scolded his regiment commanders one by one, but was still not satisfied. He also scolded the newly formed brigade and the brigade commander of the Sixth Brigade through telephone and telegram.

"How is it? Are you scolded again?" Zhang Shaoshan, the political commissar of the reorganized Sixth Brigade, asked the brigade commander Cai Guoqing with gloating.

Cai Guoqing looked bitter and sighed, "You! I'm so embarrassed to laugh apart. But who told us to have this master?"

"Yes! Now there are guns and cannons in Chengguan Town. You and I know her, and guns and bullets do not recognize anyone." Zhang Shaoshan said with concern.

"Commander General Sun ordered our department to arrive in Chengguan Town before the afternoon. The nearest unit is the Second Regiment, and I hope they will arrive on time to replace the first regiment." Cai Guoqing did not care about Sun Wu's insult on the phone. If it were him, he would probably be the same.

While speaking, the car stopped again, "What's going on?" Cai Guoqing asked with his head protruding.

"Reported that the road ahead of the brigade commander collapsed and blocked again. The engineers have already gone up to repair it. It is estimated that it will take half an hour at the earliest." An officer in front took the initiative to step forward and said.

"Hey! Sometimes I think that in the mechanized army, there is also a good road, look," Cai Guoqing sat back in his position, shook his head speechlessly, and said with emotion.

"Yes! Lao Cai, you don't think about it. Just I know how many troops in the world can have the same mechanized equipment as us?" Zhang Shaoshan looked smiling and handed him a cigarette, tremblingly said: "Our troops are not slow. In theory, a regiment changed the deployment formulated by the General Staff without asking for instructions in advance. Although the long-distance raid took down Chengguan Town, it also disrupted the established plan. If it were others, there would be enough reason to send it to the military court."

"No matter what, the first regiment belongs to our sixth brigade. The troops are not carrying enough ammunition and probably don't have many heavy weapons. Lao Zhang, please tell me if you ask your superiors to ask for some support from the Air Force."

"I don't think you and I have to worry about it. At least Sun Wu must have arranged it," Zhang Shaoshan comforted. As soon as he finished speaking, roars came from the distant sky. Aircraft quickly flew over the heads of the troops, attracting all the marching soldiers on the ground. Everyone stopped at the same time and looked up at the gradually shrinking aircraft. The aircraft was still confidential in the actual combat, especially the Western powers did not have that country for actual combat. Therefore, the People's Army had the most strict information on the air force.

The command center of the First Regiment of Chengguan Town, the sound of telegrams continued, and the sound of cannons roared around the outside. The busy staff members timely counted the positions, casualties and ammunition requirements of the troops in a timely manner and handed them over to Lin Siyu to read at any time.

"Report! Chengdu General Manager participated in the emergency telegram," a confidential staff member came to report.

"Air Force?" Lin Siyu read the telegram at a glance. The General Staff actually dispatched the Guiyang Air Force and asked the ground troops to provide guidance bombing. It was really unexpected. The People's Army's air force was established for less than a year, and there was no more than one large group of bombers. Lin Siyu thought that it would not be the temporary use of fighter jets as bombers! If he joined the use of aircraft and child bombs, it was estimated that a batch of them could completely blow up the Gui army troops. These were just Lin Siyu's fantasies.

Not to mention, she really guessed it. In order to ensure the safety of Lin Siyu's regiment, Sun Wu sent the telegram directly to the General Staff. The General Staff bypassed Lin Sheng, directly found Xie Ping and asked for instructions and organized this supportive bombing operation. To this end, Xie Ping specially approved the Air Force to call the only high-explosion mother-child bomb in the base warehouse. At the same time, in order to make up for the shortcomings of the fighter, he temporarily modified twenty-four fighters as bombers and formed a group of forty-eight bombs.

At 10:46 in the morning, roars came from the northwest sky. Another battle had just ended on the mountain. Before the mountain, the small ones were filled with the bodies of the soldiers of the two armies. The gray Gui army and the green grass army were buried on this mountain forever.

The second company was over, and Zheng Guodong left his position that had been held for more than four hours in tears. In just over four hours, almost all the more than 200 soldiers under his command fell on the position. The more than 20 surviving soldiers were all covered with scars. The troops that replaced the second company were the first battalion. When the spirited first battalion took over the defense line, he was shocked. It was so tragic. Many soldiers instinctively found a clean place to squat down and vomit.

The battle has reached now, and the soldiers on both sides of the battle felt a little overwhelmed in physical strength. They tacitly stopped fighting and began to rest and change defenses on the spot. They stepped up their ammunition to prepare more for the afternoon battle and have more hope for victory. The huge roar in the sky attracted the attention of the soldiers on both sides. Many people stood up and looked at the sky, and black spots as big as rice grains gradually magnified. Everyone, including the People's Army, did not know what it was? Humans had an instinctive fear in the face of unknown things, as if they realized that a disaster was about to come, but they stood still and didn't know what to deal with it.

The first battalion commander Wang Biao, like the soldiers, looked at the sky and was stunned. "Battlefield Commander Wang, Battalion Commander Wang," he saw that it was several soldiers from the regiment headquarters and guard company. Each of them was holding a roll of cloth in their arms. Wang Biao looked at them with a puzzled look and forgot to ask.

"Battleman Wang, please order the soldiers to spread the fabric along the trench,"

"What are you doing?" Wang Biao asked foolishly.

"The plane in the sky is ours, it's the bomber, hey! Now is not the time to explain. You follow the commander's orders and execute it quickly. Otherwise, the bomb on the plane will be thrown on your head. No wonder I didn't remind you!" A leading staff officer explained with only a little knowledge. Wang Biao didn't understand it very well, but at least there was one thing he knew that the guys in the sky would throw bombs and needed someone to guide it.

A strange scene appeared in the trench position of the Hemashan Mountain. The colorful fabrics of various colors were unfolded in one word. The soldiers did not understand the intention of doing so. The nature of the soldiers determined that the superiors' orders must be obeyed unconditionally. The plane had already flew over Chengguan Town and began to divide into several attack teams. Under the guidance of the ground radio station, it gradually dropped along the mountains in an orderly manner and began to dive. Seeing a trench Great Wall composed of fabrics, it clearly distinguished the situation between the enemy and us between the two. The next thing was easy to do. Just throw the bomb into the narrow valley. What's more, there were a large number of silly and gray-covered Gui Jun standing there, who was not sure how to write the word "death".

There were huge bombs hanging under the wings of the plane. As the pilot pressed the button, bombs escaped from the traction of the hook, and glided vertically to the ground under the action of gravity. The rapid decline and friction between the atmosphere produced a sharp whistle. Most of the soldiers of the Third Division of the Gui Army were still curiously watching the planes in the sky. The harsh whistle did not attract enough attention. The huge figure of the bomb quickly magnified, causing an uneasy commotion in the team. The panic expression showed ignorance and fear, running around like a headless fly, eager to find a safe shelter for themselves. There were even bold soldiers who raised their rifles and bravely fired at the bombs landing in the sky.

The first high-explosion mother-child bomb exploded at a 365-degree angle of ten meters above the ground, and emitted a dense bomb that covered the entire sky. Li Yushu, the commander of the Third Division, who faced a strange scene for the first time, was also stunned. He looked helplessly at his well-trained soldiers turning into fleeing ants. The small and powerful bombs exploded one after another on the ground. The efficient explosive instantly generated a high temperature of thousands of degrees, ripping away the life within dozens of meters around. No tree, stone, or bunker could stop it.

At this moment, all the command systems of the Third Division of the Gui Army were in chaos. The division could not find the regiment, the regiment could not find the battalion, the battalion could not find the company, the company could not find the soldiers, and the terrified animals were also instinctively running around. All the people and things that blocked it were raised and kicked down mercilessly.

"Teacher, it's all in chaos. If this continues, it's better to retreat first." The chief of staff around him wisely put forward the only possible suggestion now. Since entering the military, Li Yushu, who has always been known for his firm will, has not only left tears of sadness on his face in great pain, but his right hand holding the horse whip was pierced by the sharp fingertips of his skin and bleed out a trace of blood.

"Retreat, retreat twenty miles, gather in new ways near Wangjia Village." Li Yushu issued an order helplessly, and was the first to lead the troops to retreat. The troops of a reorganized division of the Gui Army were vigorously attempting to retake Chengguan Town in one fell swoop. The smoke and rain were dispersed by a century-long air strike, and the tiger's head and snake's tail ended. Taking over the mountain of Weima Mountain, the People's Army soldiers near Chengguan Town were unable to organize troops to pursue forcefully in a timely manner. Perhaps the grassroots soldiers of the People's Army were also shocked by the huge energy generated by the explosion of the mother bomb, and lost the thinking of reason.
