The artillery regiments who received Zhou Wu's artillery order immediately adjusted the shooting parameters in the shortest possible time, and after the loading was completed, the small red flag waved, and more than 200 artillery pieces of all kinds in the east of Jinan City opened fire and bombarded in unison, and the shells rained down on the outer positions of Jinan City, setting off fire and smoke that went straight into the sky, and flying shrapnel mixed with mud and gravel flew all over the sky, and the powerful shock wave lifted the fortifications in the trenches and the bodies of the Kuomintang soldiers high.
The entire outer position in the east of Jinan City was completely shrouded in billowing smoke, the whole earth seemed to be trembling like an earthquake, almost at the same time as the artillery bombardment, a large number of PLA soldiers rushed towards the enemy position with a shout under the guidance of the "tick-tock" charge, and the soldiers of the 11th Division on the peripheral position desperately blocked the PLA soldiers who rushed up, and the hot machine gun tongues were sprayed in the bunker, and many of the PLA brothers who rushed to the front of the third trench were so pressed that they could not raise their heads by the powerful fire fired from the opposite side, The fat man who was angry and attacked the front shook off the military hat on his head and scolded Zhang Ercheng of the artillery regiment behind him: "Why haven't you solved the dark fort on the position here, how can you knock out a batch and pour out a batch, are these Kuomintang soldiers becoming Zhang Ercheng, you fucking give me a more violent bang?"
The fat man scolded at the forefront position, Zhang Ercheng was busy sweating on the artillery position behind, he had to suppress the enemy on the peripheral position with artillery fire, and also had to guard against the enemy shells that were coming here at any time in the city, so he was so busy that he urged his artillery brothers again and again: "Brothers, hurry up and fire, our brothers in front are suppressed by the enemy's fire."
Of course, Zhou Wu saw this situation in the binoculars, and when he saw that it would definitely not work to fight like this, the artillery fire was not concentrated enough, firing from all sides, attacking everywhere, but no place could be captured, so it was necessary to adjust some combat deployments.
Zhou Wu immediately ordered the fat man to withdraw and redeploy the siege battle plan, the fat man scolded and returned to the forward command post, and scolded Zhou Wu when he saw it: "Commander, why did you withdraw it, it looks like you are about to break through Jinan City, we can all see the gate of the East City, which guy is this bad idea, it's too damn nonsense."
Zhou Wu hurriedly yelled at the fat man: "It's my idea, Lao Liu, don't talk nonsense about the situation on your front line, I don't know, have you counted the casualties of your first division, the soldiers are also born to their parents, and they were raised with hard work, they can rush up so casually without paying attention to the rules, you really use them as cannon fodder, I said where have you learned in the past few years of political and ideological work and study" Zhou Wu criticized the fat man fiercely, fighting a war is not by brute force, just be brave and charge, this is a work that requires brains The fat man was silent by Zhou Wu's words, and stood there with a puff, Ge Sanmin, Xiao Zheng and Huang Shuisheng were drooping their heads, this siege, the four divisions under Zhou Wu failed to achieve the expected attack target, but the casualties increased a lot, it is necessary to sum up the experience of failure, but can not continue to attack like this.
At this time, several PLA officers outside the door hurriedly walked in, and the fat man saw that they were the people from the military department who specially received prisoners of the battlefield, only to see them walk up to Zhou Wu, salute and report: "Commander, the enemy prisoner has asked to see you, and he wants to make meritorious service to atone for his crimes."
Zhou Wu listened: "Who?"
"It's the brigade commander of the 11th Division, who asked us to make meritorious atonement for his crimes, and asked to meet you, the army commander."
"Okay, then let him in and see what kind of meritorious atonement he has" Zhou Wu heard that it was Brigade Commander Niu who took the initiative to come to him to ask for meritorious atonement, and hurriedly came up with a plan in his mind.
Brigade Commander Niu hurriedly came in, he had changed into the clothes of a prisoner of war, and there was no hat on his head, revealing a bright head like a light bulb, he saw Zhou Wu, and immediately came to a standard military salute: "The military seat is good, I Niu is willing to contribute to the liberation of Jinan, and I hope the military seat can give me a chance."
"Then tell me, how do you plan to make meritorious contributions" Zhou Wu said to him lightly, in fact, he didn't have any great hopes for Brigade Commander Niu at this moment, but when he saw his anxious look, he asked him what kind of meritorious contribution method he was "Niu is not talented, but I think there is still some foundation in the reorganization of the 11th Division, the 11th Division has built a number of three-dimensional fortifications on the periphery of Jinan, which is quite strong, not that I brag, the 11th Division is famous for defending the city, and has received a lot of guidance from the US military, advanced weapons and equipment, sufficient ammunition supply, and relying on the strong and tall Jinan city wall behind it, if your army does not have enough tanks, to capture Jinan, I am afraid you have to pay a lot of price.
I think that we must concentrate on attacking one point, and send a number of harassment teams to attack the position of the 11th Division, one of which is to select the most brave warriors in your army who are not afraid of death to form a death squad, rush forward, as long as the rear fire cover is in place, the chance of the death squad to insert it is still very large, as long as there is a gap in the position of the 11th Division is opened, then they will definitely not be able to hold the position, don't look at their resistance now, but I think it is almost time to be unable to support it, and if you work harder, you can break through the defense line" Brigade Commander Niu said hurriedly.
Zhou Wu nodded secretly when he heard this, absolutely Brigade Commander Niu is true, when the battle on his side is about to be unable to support it, the integrated 11th Division on the opposite side is actually the same, and now the comparison between the two sides is not the number of people and weapons, but whoever has the strong will to fight, who can have the last laugh and win the battle That's it, Zhou Wu gritted his teeth and decided, ordered Ge Sanmin, Xiao Zheng and Huang Shuisheng to all move closer to the front of the outer positions in the east of the city, and continue to take the fat man's first division as the main attacking force, and ordered each division to transfer a number of brothers with extraordinary skills to form a death squad of more than 100 people, with the fat man himself as the captain, and all the artillery regiments that were attacking the city were transferred to the east of the city, and handed them over to Zhang Ercheng's command, and covered the death squad brothers who supported the charge with unprecedented powerful artillery firepower.
At the same time, Zhou Wu ordered the general attack time to be set for three hours later, and at that time, regardless of whether the death squad succeeded in breaking through the direction of the 11th Division, all four divisions under his command would rush forward and conquer the outer positions As soon as Brigade Commander Niu heard that Zhou Wu was going to play with his life, he hurriedly waved his hand and said to him: "Commander, by all means, a group charge like you can conquer the position, but the casualties of the PLA brothers are too great, even if Jinan is conquered, the loss is immeasurable, I have a suggestion, I don't know if it will work."
Zhou Wu listened: "If there is anything that can't be done, say it quickly" "Before the death squad acts, send a small detachment of about 20 people, disguised as the officers and soldiers of the 11th Division, and mix into the position, I am willing to lead this team to the forefront and open a gap for the PLA team to attack Jinan" Lao Niu took the initiative to ask himself to take a small detachment disguised as the 11th Division to infiltrate the forward position.
Zhou Wu listened: Okay, I can't ask for it, we haven't announced the news that Brigade Commander Niu was captured, according to reason, Lao Yu of the 11th Division should not be able to grasp the real situation of Brigade Commander Niu at this moment, knowing that this brigade has been completely wiped out, but we don't know that Brigade Commander Niu has surrendered to us, we can take advantage of this time difference to catch him off guard, as long as Brigade Commander Niu's squad can break through the third trench fortification, then the opportunity for us to launch a general offensive will come, those brothers of the death squad are not vegetarians, They followed closely behind the squad and quickly opened the gap to break through "Okay, that's it, Brigade Commander Niu, if I can succeed this time, I will report to the headquarters and ask you to come to our army, how about our fortifications" Zhou Wu suddenly felt that the Brigade Commander Niu in front of him was very capable of military affairs, why didn't he find out that he had such talent in the Kuomintang army When Brigade Commander Niu heard that Zhou Wu invited him to the People's Liberation Army, of course he was very happy, and hurriedly saluted: "Yes, thank you for the cultivation, but this mission is very dangerous, I don't know if I can come back, as long as I have your words, even if I die, it will be worth it, I will say more, if I really die there in this operation, then what kind of identity am I a prisoner of war or a hero."
"Of course, you are a hero, you can rest assured of this, in case you die on the outer position, our Communist Party will definitely remember you, can't you see this?"
Zhou Wu asked Brigade Commander Niu rhetorically.
Brigade Commander Niu nodded hurriedly, this time he really went out, he and his wife and children will watch this squad action for the rest of their lives, so he has to fight for the best environment for his wife and children, don't let them always carry the black pot of a Kuomintang prisoner of war family, he is a manly man, and he has to be responsible for his family The twenty or so fat men of the brothers with extraordinary skills quickly put on the uniforms of the 11th Division, and the brigade commander carefully checked the uniforms and weapons of each brother, and told them what they should say and what they should not say.
"Go" Zhou Wu spit out two words in his mouth, his eyes swept over the faces of the soldiers of each squad, these young men were quite young, watching Zhou Wu's gaze shoot at them, they straightened their chests and shouted the password loudly, the team quickly turned, almost at the same time, the hundreds of cannons commanded by Zhang Ercheng had already begun to roar, and the overwhelming artillery fire swished towards the outer positions of Jinan City, and immediately exploded there into a sea of flames and smoke, Under the leadership of Brigade Commander Niu, the brothers of the squad rushed to the outer positions under the cover of the barrage, and the brothers of the death squad led by the fat man himself followed closely behind, divided into three roads and rushed towards the third trench that Lao Yu's reorganized 11th Division desperately resisted, and a tragic battle outside Jinan was about to be staged t1706231537:
