1949 I am from the future

【168】Soldiers are expensive and fast

Hearing the sound of firefights coming from ahead, Feng Weicheng, the commander of the 218th Division, couldn't help getting out of his car, climbed on the hood of his jeep, and raised his binoculars to see what happened.

The mountains on both sides of the valley are densely forested, and it is impossible to observe the front even if you climb up the mountain, you can only observe in the valley.It is the highest place that can be found on the hood of the Jeep.

He only heard the gunshots coming from the front very densely, it sounded like there were hundreds of light machine guns, Feng Weicheng thought he heard it wrong.Seeing is believing, and he wanted to see it for himself.

But the observation conditions of the valley in rainy days were really not ideal, and the pine trees on both sides of the valley bottom were so dense, Feng Weicheng had to give up doing useless work.

Feng Weicheng, who was born in the Army Military Academy, believes in the concept of blitzkrieg. He is almost obsessed with studying the historical wars of Germany in World War II.As long as he buried his head in the history of the German army in World War II, Feng Weicheng would immediately get excited, feeling that the style of the uniform he was wearing looked similar to the color of the military uniform, from khaki to light gray German army uniform.

Therefore, when he discovered that the truck had become a shackle that affected the marching speed, Feng Weicheng immediately ordered the entire army to abandon the truck and advance on foot without saying a word.

Feng Weicheng believes that the speed of a soldier is precious, and these four words are the mantra that he never forgets.

Feng Weicheng jumped off the lid of the jeep and ordered: "Send a report immediately, and order the regiment to intensify the attack and break through the Taniguchi. Soldiers are precious, so be quick!"

"The second regiment and the third regiment follow me, speed up!"

I only heard a staff officer say: "Master seat, the army ahead has blocked the entrance of the valley, I'm afraid it will be difficult to break through."

Feng Weicheng said calmly: "Soldiers are expensive. My 218th Division has given up all its trucks and marched lightly on foot. With such a fast speed, the chances of victory are within our grasp!"

He paused for a while and then said: "Besides, the troops in the front are rushing all the way. I think the vanguard troops encountered in the front must be insufficient. Tell the first regiment to speed up the attack, and don't delay the march of the second and third regiments. Soldiers are expensive. Speed!"

Mei Yankai, the deputy commander of the 218th division, finally spoke. He had been silent for a while.It's only because the deputy commander's voice in the military system is too weak, so Mei Yankai has always been not troublesome.

But since the emergency march in the morning, Mei Yan has been having a bad premonition in his heart, and along the way, this ominous premonition has become stronger and stronger.

From Mei Yankai's point of view, the road is muddy and difficult, so it's fine to lose the truck and march lightly on foot, but listening to the various troops fighting so far, there is not even a plane flying over to cover it, which is really abnormal.In addition, Hu Lian, the commander of the 67th Army, used the reason that the rain could not be observed, so far he has not conducted a fire raid, and bombarded the supply troops who had already occupied the salt warehouse ahead.On the contrary, it was the heavy artillery of the supply army, across the Jintang waterway, continuous and sporadic bombardment.If the 218th division had not entered the valley, I am afraid it would be bombed by name.

These two points made Mei Yan happy all the time, and it was hard to rest assured.

"Master, line up the mortars of the second and third regiments first, without the cover of the army's mountain artillery, at least let's bombard him with mortars twice first." Mei Yankai thought for a while and said.

Feng Weicheng shook his head and said confidently: "A small group of supply troops can block the truck with their arms, and a regiment should be able to defeat the enemy immediately. Besides, my truck is parked behind, and there are not many mortar shells with the army, so there is no need to waste them. Here, let’s talk about it when we encounter a large supply of troops. The key now is to be fast, break through the Taniguchi as soon as possible, and the speed of your troops is very important.”

Mei Yankai said again: "But the enemy army must be extremely strong to defeat the 219th Division so quickly. I heard that the fighting in the south is fierce, and the 385th Division probably encountered a strong enemy."

Feng Weicheng replied: "Soldiers are expensive, and there is so much time to gather all the mortars. This valley must be rushed out immediately, otherwise it will be troublesome to be bombarded by the army's artillery. The 385th Division has too many tanks and armored vehicles. Marching in this muddy valley, How can I get up quickly, my 218th Division will definitely be the first to arrive at Yancang this time, and win the first victory!"

Seeing that Feng Weicheng had made up his mind, Mei Yankai had no choice but to shut up and sit back in the jeep to think about his thoughts.

Not long after, shocking news came that the first regiment of the 218th Division was broken up, and the head of the regiment, Pang Hai, fled back.

Seeing Pang Hai, the remnant soldier fleeing back, Feng Weicheng was almost mad. He stepped forward and grabbed Pang Hai's collar with both hands regardless of his appearance, and asked loudly: "How many people are there in the army? You have been beaten in one regiment!" return!"

Pang Hai said dejectedly: "There is probably a regiment with dense and ferocious firepower, which is unimaginable. This group of troops does not know what kind of army it is, but they actually have a submachine gun. This gun can also shoot very accurately from two to 300 meters away. The organized charge was scattered by the dense rain of bullets. Later, the army counterattacked and chased us to fight. The gun was powerful and accurate. No matter how far we ran, we could not escape the range of the gun's firepower. The brothers suffered heavy casualties. Master, don’t force yourself!”

Feng Weicheng took a breath and said angrily: "This is impossible! According to the information obtained by the military seat, the total strength of the troops landing at Zhou's homeland is only about three regiments. The 19th Army is not just paper. Zhoujiayuan fights three regiments, the army must be short-handed! How could the army spare a regiment to fight in the east! Pang Hai, how dare you lie about the military situation! I will kill you!"

Pang Hai was frightened, and cried: "Master, did you hear the sound of the machine guns just now? Can't you hear so many machine guns? The army is at least one regiment! If the Taniguchi area is not small enough, I think The Gongjun might be a division. In the past, only one division of the Gongjun could have so many machine guns? Master, I’m not talking nonsense! I can’t charge any more, I can’t fight recklessly, I have to use cannons quickly.”

Feng Weicheng let go of Pang Hai's collar, and his whole body became tense.

Feng Weicheng's mind was spinning quickly: "The Gongjun actually used a regiment to block the entrance of the valley to block the attack! The firepower was so intense that it defeated my regiment in ten minutes! Is it impossible to stand out now? The Gongjun's will has always been strong. As long as The ammunition is not finished, presumably it will not retreat..."

The more Feng Weicheng thought about it, the more frustrated he became. He didn't know what to do. Now his thoughts on blitz warfare were completely disrupted, and the battle situation had become the tough battle he disliked the most.Thinking of the previous fortified battles against the People's Liberation Army, that time it was not a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood. Feng Weicheng had learned the defense capabilities of the People's Liberation Army. He recalled the escape from several battles on the mainland, and he couldn't help but shudder...

Mei Yan opened the mouth and said: "Master, for the current plan, we should mobilize the whole division to bombard with mortars. In addition, we should draw out another regiment to go up the mountain and touch the ridge. After the mortar bombardment, we should attack together from the top to the bottom of the mountain. This will definitely break through.”

Feng Weicheng's face was pale, and he was drenched standing in the rain. He nodded slowly: "Just do as you say."

By the way, where is the air force on Zhoushan Island?

Let's talk about what the PLA Air Force has done today.

From the very beginning of the battle, the Air Regiment dispatched a squadron of four J-Wujia all-weather fighter jets and the only H-[-] to attack. Before the start of the shelling, they bombed Zhoushan Dadao in the rain. on the airport.

The H-80 was refitted in the [-]s and installed a set of simple infrared night-vision bombing devices with night-vision bombing capabilities.As seen from the bombing observer, the airport was in a green terrain with a very prominent outline.

At this moment, the bombardment of Zhoushan has not yet started, so there is no need to worry about Jiang Jun's air defense.

Under the escort of 8 J-300A all-weather fighter jets, the H-12* flew along the runway to be bombed at low altitude without any haste, and even ventured to drop the three tons of 250 [-]kg bombs in the belly magazine at a low altitude of [-] meters. The aerial bomb washed the runway of the airport and completely paralyzed the airport, which is difficult to repair in the short term.

This is why until now, a Jiang Jun plane on the big island of Zhoushan has not been able to take off.

Shi Jue has been cursing on the phone since the morning, and he already knows the corruption of Zhoujiayuan's battle situation. After the 19th Army was wiped out of a 14th division, it actually hid in the mountains.After the 67th Division of the 219th Army stationed in Yancang was smashed, the remaining two eastward troops of the 218th Division and the 385th Division were blocked on two mountain roads.

As for the news that the airport was bombed, it was sent before the shelling began.The bombing time turned out to be before the bombardment by the army, that is to say, it was a night bombing!The fact that the People's Liberation Army was able to determine the target for night bombing so accurately made Shi Jue shudder.The Jiang Jun Air Force can't do this at all, even fighter jets taking off at night can't do interception operations, let alone launch precise tactical bombing.

For the world in the 50s, the effect of the air force's night bombing was basically a large-scale carpet bombing, where the bombing went, creating a sea of ​​​​fire.However, the Gong army was able to accurately bomb a definite target at night. In Shi Jue's view, this was simply unbelievable.Even if the US military is changed, I am afraid it will be nothing more than that.

The aircraft supplied to the army is too advanced, how can this be fought?Shi Jue's heart was empty, and his confidence gradually disappeared with the bombing.

What made Shi Jue, the Zhoushan defense commander appointed by Lao Jiang even more worried, was that after the airport was bombed, the escape route he had left for himself was cut off.It turned out that in Shi Jue's plan, if Zhoushan couldn't hold it, he would get on the plane and go back to Taiwan directly.Now that the airport was destroyed, Shi Jue was really scared, how could he go back?

Shi Jue kept giving orders to the airport to urge the airport to be repaired immediately, the sooner the better, once it was repaired, call him back immediately, he wanted to run away.

Although the 250kg aerial bomb of H-12 was not specially designed for bombing the airport, it still showed extremely strong destructive power against the airstrip on Zhoushan Island. 9 aerial bombs bombed the airport runway from the beginning to the end.Nine large pits were blown out on the main trunk of the airport. The thin cement around the pits was turned up and arched high. It was very difficult to repair.In order to restore the most basic take-off and landing capabilities, so that Shi Jue and his cronies can take off and escape in a transport plane, at least 9 of the 6 big pits need to be smoothed out. Without construction machinery and quick-drying cement, it is necessary to rely on manpower and Ordinary cement, this project will take at least a whole day at the fastest.

At present, Shi Jue can't rely on the airport if he wants to leave, so he activated his backup plan, Haidun.

Haidun's backup plan of course depends on the navy, but Ma Jizhuang, the commander of the First Fleet, and Li Lianxi, the commander of the Second Fleet, actually left the port after the bombardment started, saying that they wanted to drive the fleet to Hong Kong to avoid being bombarded by heavy artillery. Go cruising at sea. .This made Shi Jue very anxious, and kept asking for news about the navy. If the navy ran away on its own, where would Shi Jue go?
