On how to fight the Yan clan, there are also conflicting opinions among the current leadership of Dingzhou base, Fan, Hou, Liu and Tie. Among them, Fan and Hou advocate courtesy first and then attack, while Tielin Although Fei didn't behave as politely as Fan and Hou, he also believed that since the war was between compatriots, it would be better to be more tactful and use intimidation as the main method, and then retaliate with "old fists" as a last resort. Liu Dakai said Liu Dakai is a firm believer in "speaking with fists", and his reasons are also valid: Yes, the original intention of our Xuebing Army was to fight the Japanese and save the country, but if we don't show toughness this time, others will do it in the future. They think that we are easy to bully, and anyone dares to take advantage of the chaos. The purpose of my doing this is to set an example for such people. We Xue Bingjun are not easy to bully. If you want to take advantage of us, think about it first. own weight,
When Liu Dakai said these words, his eyes were cold and the edges on his face were pulsing. He was really a bit fierce like a person in the world who would retaliate.
Just as Ouyang Yun requested, officers and soldiers from the regular army of the Xuebing Army treat their comrades with the warmth of spring, and treat the enemy with the determination of the autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves. This also resulted in the eyes of Huang Zhengzheng's officers and soldiers. The cadet officers and soldiers who were friendly for a moment suddenly turned into murderous robbers.
Before the Yan troops fired at the Xuebingjun fighter planes, the cadet officers and soldiers on duty at the gate of the base did not show much hostility to them because they were both Chinese soldiers. However, following Liu Dakai's order, With the determination of the hostile relationship between the two sides, everything is different.
First came the unexpected bombardment,
As the research center of Xuebing R&D Institute moved into the base, the most indispensable thing in the base is various types of advanced weapons. Among them, the weird thing is that not long after they were successfully developed, only a dozen rocket launchers were produced.
If artillery is the king of infantry warfare, then rocket launchers are the king of kings. What is the concept of a salvo of ten rocket launchers? We may be able to get some information from Huang Zhengzheng's face that turned from rosy to pale almost instantly after the war. The target of the first strike was none other than the complacent group of air defense soldiers. Their previous launches had exposed their coordinates, and whether they had moved in time afterwards naturally gave the base artillery a chance to show off their power.
There was no clue before the bombardment. This was exactly the effect Liu Dakai was pursuing. If he didn't attack, it would be enough. If he attacked, he would destroy the enemy's confidence at once. It was pitiful for Yan's almost battalion of air defense troops, because most of the weapons he controlled came from imported channels. , has always been complacent and has a high self-esteem among the troops of the same system, but this time he really complied with the old saying: extreme joy leads to sorrow.
Since the successful sniper attack on the fighter planes taking off in the base, they have successfully completed a task assigned by the chairman and superiors. The officers and soldiers of the Yan department of the air defense force can’t help but feel a little slack, thinking that the fighters in the base will no longer dare to take off. In this way, when the base is When the rumbling sound of artillery sounded, most of the officers and soldiers were smoking pipes and chatting near the base of the anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft machine guns.
After the rumbling sound of artillery, there was the sound of artillery shells breaking through the air. This sound was too familiar to the artillery-trained air defense force officers and soldiers. At that time, many people felt that something was wrong. Some of them asked people around them: " Who is firing artillery? Is it our artillery?"
The people around him were confusedly thinking about the answer. On the horizon, some light spots suddenly appeared. The clever science judged that something was wrong. He jumped up and shouted: "It's not good, artillery attack, artillery attack." Then he ran away. ,
"Where is it?"
"What's going on?" Many people stood up, and then, almost everyone discovered those light spots, and the entire air defense position fell into chaos.
At that time, Huang Zhengzheng was playing chess with the brigade commander Lin Tianfang in the makeshift headquarters. Suddenly, the adjutant ran in hurriedly and shouted: "Master, something bad has happened, the student army has opened fire on us." "
"What?" Huang Zhengzheng stood up immediately and asked, "How many people and horses?"
Outside, the commotion on the air defense position came in. Lin Tianfang's expression changed and he said: "The Xuebing Army is indeed a team led by Nanmanzi. It is really unreasonable to start fighting without even saying hello."
At this time, the rockets had completed their flight and arrived at the designated area. Immediately, a series of rumbling explosions sounded, shaking the entire command post. The adjutant was unsteady and fell to the ground with a "plop" , got up a little embarrassed, and handed Huang Zhengzheng a cigarette shell,
The words on the cigarette cover are: "The desire to learn from the army is not good for you, so we must deal with it quickly."
This shelling only lasted about three minutes, but the sound and movement caused by it made everyone change their minds. Huang Zhengzheng said to the adjutant: "Go and see where the shelling is. Tianfang, hurry up and arrange defenses. Don't let the students The soldiers ran out."
The adjutant got up and left a message: "This smoke shell was shot with arrows from the base." Then he ran out with a shaved face.
About ten minutes later, the second bombardment began. This time, the target was changed to the main position of the Yan army facing the base gate, and Huang Zhengzheng's headquarters was only more than 30 meters away from the nearest artillery impact point. At such a distance, Huang Zhengzheng was lucky enough to witness the power of this new type of artillery without even using a telescope. The shells fell like raindrops, and the fireworks exploded, quickly engulfing the three trenches on the main position. In the fireworks, stumps of limbs flew up and down from time to time, and then, the entire position emitted a wailing sound like a ghost crying or a wolf howling.
Huang Zhengzheng's face turned into a dead gray in an instant. Such an intensive artillery strike would not be possible without a salvo of forty or fifty artillery pieces. This shows that the student army in the base is sufficiently strong and well prepared. It seems that , this time it is destined to be a waste of money.
Regarding the power of this artillery bombardment, compared with Huang Zhengyi who looked at it from a distance, Lin Tianfang who looked at it from a distance had a deeper experience. Because he did not know that the opposite side was using a new rocket launcher, so in terms of the number of artillery pieces, Lin Tianfang and Huang The numbers he guessed were almost the same, and because he was in a dangerous place, if the guards hadn't been smart and conscientious and pinned him down in time, Lin Tianfang would have been uttering this emotion in the underworld at this moment. In view of the bombardment, Lin Tianfang attributes the density and uniformity of coverage to the high quality of the artillery of the Xuebing Army. He believes that with this artillery unit alone, the Xuebing Army has the qualifications to be proud of North China. From this, he has always admired himself. And the respected Chairman Yan, he felt that at least in handling this matter, the Chairman made a mistake. Thinking about it carefully, a force that can fight against the little devils is not something that their motley army can deal with. As for The vulnerable troops in Dingzhou City must be the civilian military organization of the Xuebing Army.
Not to mention that Brigadier Lin was thinking a lot, let’s just talk about the adjutant who went to observe the air defense position. The adjutant came back without seeing the scene on the air defense position, because on the way he met Qiu Sheng, the commander of the air defense regiment. Qiu Sheng The disgraced man led more than a dozen people, with one arm hanging bloody on his chest. As soon as he saw the adjutant, he immediately howled: "Adjutant Li, this battle can't be fought. Our brothers from the same battalion were killed by the damn Xuebing Army." One round of shelling killed them all. Adjutant Li, those guys on the opposite side are not human beings. Their artillery density is so dense that they don’t want to leave any way for us to survive..."
There was more than one round of shelling against the enemy's main position outside the base. The base artillery resolutely carried out Liu Dakai's order and beat the enemy painfully if they wanted to. The beating was unforgettable for their entire lives. Only ten minutes later, as the artillery shells came one after another, After the reloading was completed, the rumbling sound of artillery fired again. At this time, the surviving officers and soldiers of Lin Tianfang's brigade did not even have the courage to stay in the position. The soldiers and officers were all reduced to a rout.
Hundreds of defeated soldiers passed by Lin Tianfang and fled behind him. From time to time, one or two conscientious regiment commanders and battalion commanders called to their brigade commander: Brigade commander, this battle can't be fought. Don't run away, brother. We will all explain it here. No wonder Xuebingjun dared to challenge the little devils. These guys are really not raised by humans. They are too cruel. Traveler, run away.
The officer Yan who said this thought like this: We are all Chinese, and we are all serving as soldiers to feed ourselves. We are just following the orders of our superiors. You actually use artillery to bombard us like this. It’s really a damn thing. It's so inhumane,
To put it into detail, there are many ruthless characters in the Yan army. Otherwise, Lao Yan would not have been able to stay in the complicated Shanxi Province during the Anti-Japanese War until the victory of the Anti-Japanese War. However, the asymmetry in strength cannot be made up by simply not being afraid of life and not being afraid of death. , faced with a desperate situation where waiting is the only way to die, as long as there is still reason, people will not sit and wait for death.
At first, Lin Tianfang wanted to turn the tide and use military law to regain control of the troops. However, as the second round of artillery shells "bloomed" on the battlefield, more people joined the defeated crowd. He and other survivors The guards were dragged into the crowd. At this point, the so-called plan of the Yan troops to take over the Dingzhou base has become a mirror, just a joke.
The power of the volley of rocket launchers not only surprised the enemy, but also amazed the inventor Hou Debang and all the operators. Colonel Fang Xiaotan, the deputy commander who succeeded Liu Dakai in charge of military affairs in the base, even made an astonishing idea. If we can have an artillery regiment like this on the front line of the pass, then the winner should have been decided by now.
In Liu Dakai's plan, the artillery attack was followed by an infantry attack. The artillery attack was supposed to be carried out for three rounds. However, after the second round, Fang Xiaotan's telescope could not see a single moving figure on the enemy's main position, so he decided to stop. Artillery attack, directly dispatch a battalion of infantry to pursue,
Just as Fang Xiaotan personally led the troops to chase them out of the base, on the airport inside the base, with the roar of motors, dozens of fighter planes gradually took off, and the first paratrooper (Note 1) combat operation in Chinese history began.
Note 1, The first country to conduct airdrop operations in human history was the Soviet Union in 1927. It was also the Soviet Union that established the first paratrooper unit in 1930 (supernumerary, does not account for word count)
