The fat man dusted off the plaster, and when he saw that his house, which was used as a command post, was blown up by naval guns, he was angry, and hurriedly shouted to the guard brothers next to him: "Quick, run to inform the cadres above the battalion level, and the division headquarters will have a meeting."
The house that was used as a command post was destroyed by shells, and the fat man found a broken wall as a temporary headquarters, and soon the battalion commanders who had received the notice of the meeting came in a hurry, and before they arrived, some brothers cursed and scolded.
"Damn, the Kuomintang army somehow did it, suddenly it became so tough, the pillbox fortifications were fierce, and the brothers on the forward positions couldn't raise their heads because of the naval guns, and they often needed to pay a company or even more casualties to conquer a pillbox, and this battle was too bad."
"Isn't it true that our regiment has already lost a battalion, and we haven't conquered the bunkers on the other side, it seems that the division commander will not let us go this time, hey, wait to be scolded."
The fat man listened to the discussion of his officers, raised his head and said to everyone: "Why do you have to find a way to run into hard stubble, don't scold here, scolding can scold the enemy's bunker and run away."
The officers under his command were scolded by the fat man, and they all bowed their heads and kept silent, saying that, this is not the first time to hit the enemy's bunker, and the enemy's fortified bunker in Jinan is also quite strong, so don't you still capture it, but this time when you get to Shanghai, you can't take it down, it must be something wrong, you have to discuss it well.
After a fierce argument among the people, the fat man came up with a way to deal with the enemy bunker fortifications on the opposite side, that is, let the brothers each bring a shovel to dig a pit, dig as they go, and prepare a number of demolition teams behind, the demolition team is composed of four or five brothers, one is responsible for observing the enemy situation and commanding, three people use machine guns and mortars and other fire cover, and the remaining two brothers blow up the pillbox with explosives bags and cluster grenades, step by step, blow up a pillbox, and then go to the team to consolidate the position, And use the occupied bunker fortifications to continue to attack the next pillbox, and in this way, the continuous attack, like the waves of the sea, repeatedly, endlessly, I don't believe that the troops of Commander Tang on the opposite side can hold it, as long as they are entangled with the enemy, then their warships and guns at the mouth of the Yangtze River and the planes in the sky will not be able to play a role, unless they go crazy and want to blow up their own people together "It works very well to capture pillboxes and trenches in this way, but what if the enemy dispatches tanks and armored vehicles to launch a counterattack against us" Several regiment commanders under the fat man proposed, according to the scouts, the enemy concentrated a lot of American-made tanks near the pillbox fortifications, used as mobile fortresses, where there was a situation, these tanks and armored vehicles quickly rushed over to help the battle, causing great casualties to the PLA team to conquer the position, and the PLA brothers in the forward positions suffered from not having effective anti-tank weapons at hand, It often takes a lot of casualties to blow up an enemy tank, and the enemy tank, after suffering the loss of the explosive pack, as soon as it sees the PLA with the explosive bag rushing up, it quickly turns around and runs behind, but the heavy machine gun and tank gun are spun around and desperately shoot at the PLA demolition group, a large number of brothers with explosive bags fall under the bullets of the enemy tank, and the enemy in the pillbox takes the opportunity to sweep the PLA soldiers who cover them around, causing a large number of casualties among the brothers, and those enemy tanks take the opportunity to turn back, The PLA soldiers in front of them were bombarded, suffering heavy casualties, and could not continue the attack, so they had to withdraw to rest.
When the fat man heard this, he immediately scratched his head, if the enemy's tank ran back and forth to defend, it would be really difficult to deal with, this thing has thick skin and strong flesh, mortars and other small cannons can't penetrate the armor at all, and there are no anti-tank weapons at hand, and large-caliber heavy artillery can't be used, for fear of accidentally injuring the innocent citizens around, and can only let the brothers take the explosives bag to blow up, but the sacrifice is great, and the loss is not affordable.
The fat man was crazy now, and kept pacing there with his hands behind his back.
Suddenly, he remembered that Lao Cheng and their tank team were coming, and hurriedly laughed, patted his fat head and said: "How can I forget Lao Cheng and them, don't they have tanks, it's just right to deal with the Kuomintang tanks here." ” The fat man immediately sent a telegram to Zhou Wu, asking that Lao Cheng's tank regiment be transferred to the front line in Jiading, and Zhou Wu had just received a telegram from Commander Li at this moment, and the field army headquarters asked Zhou Wu's troops to suspend the attack on the outskirts of Shanghai, and a new situation occurred.
Zhou Wu hurriedly telegraphed to the fat man, suspended the attack on Jiading, and the forward position team immediately turned to the defense, waiting for the attack order, Lao Cheng's tank regiment can be transferred to the front line of Jiading, but when to launch an attack and how to command this tank regiment must be approved by Zhou Wu himself, and the fat man cannot make decisions without authorization.
Zhou Wu hurriedly took the chief of staff Elder Xu and the political commissar Niu to the field army headquarters in Suzhou City to hold a meeting, and halfway through, Zhou Wu said to the political commissar Niu and them: "We are fighting, and the above suddenly asked us to suspend the attack, guess what happened?"
"It is estimated that the enemy has received reinforcements, but since the crossing of the river, the main force of the Kuomintang army has been almost completely wiped out, and now only the Gui army and the local Kuomintang troops are left with some combat effectiveness, and there are only those remnants of Tang Enbo and Huaihai who escaped from the battle, and I don't see any reinforcements from the enemy, could it be that the Yankees intervened, if this is the case, then it will be troublesome, it seems that we have to fight against foreign devils" Chief of Staff Lao Xu estimated and analyzed, he believes that the main force of the Kuomintang has almost been completely annihilatedExcept for the Western powers, no one could save the crumbling old Chiang regime The American-style jeep drove all the way to the city of Suzhou, the headquarters of the field army was located in a hotel building in the city, Zhou Wu and they passed the inspection of the three sentry posts at the door, and when they went in, the heads and brains of the brother troops were all there, Li and Chen were both commanders, and when they saw Zhou Wu and them coming in, Commander Li nodded and said to the army commanders below: "Comrades, let's start." ” Commander Chen opened his mouth: "Comrades, the General Front Committee has just received the latest instructions from the Central Committee, and in view of the fact that the work of taking over Shanghai has not yet been completed, and that the underground party organizations in Shanghai have been sabotaged by the Kuomintang, and that the underground work has almost been paralyzed, and if a general attack on Shanghai is rashly launched, it will inevitably cause chaos.
Other specific things about the war will be told to everyone by Commander Li. ” As soon as everyone heard that the attack on Shanghai was going to be postponed, they all talked in a low voice, and Commander Li stood up and waved his hand at everyone: "Comrades, don't worry, the Kuomintang troops in Shanghai are already the turtles in the urn, and they are besieged by our regiments in Shanghai, a place with a big palm, and they only have two ways to escape from the sea and the air, although the central government has instructed us to postpone the attack on Shanghai, but our preparations cannot be relaxed, Comrade Zhou Wu, your troops are at the forefront, and there is a naval division under your command, The field army command decided to assign the river defense fleet that had just revolted to you under unified command, and together with the naval division, harass the Kuomintang naval fleet that attacked between Wusongkou and Chongming Island, and forced them to withdraw from the Yangtze River estuary, so as to cut off Tang Enbo's escape by sea. ” As soon as Zhou Wu heard that Lao Li's river defense fleet was under his own command, he felt that the burden on his shoulders suddenly became heavier, although the Kuomintang army was not good at the army, but the navy and air force had long been trained and guided by the US military, and in the past few years, Lao Jiang had spent a lot of money to purchase a large number of advanced ships and aircraft, and his combat effectiveness was extraordinary, and the naval division under his command were all armed fishing boats and small gunboats, even if Lao Li's river defense fleet joined, but in front of so many advanced ships of the Kuomintang navy, Zhou Wu still felt a little weak.
He hurriedly stood up and said to Commander Li: "Commander, I try my best to complete the task, but the Kuomintang navy is strong, its combat effectiveness is not weak, and it is also supported by its air force aircraft, I am afraid that it will be very difficult for us to blockade Wusongkou and expel the brothers of the enemy's fleet, and the casualties are estimated to be not small." ” "Comrade Zhou Wu, I believe that you will be able to accomplish this task, the enemy is holding on to Shanghai and mobilizing all its naval and air forces, the purpose is to transfer a large number of supplies to Taiwan, so that they can prepare for a counteroffensive in the future, we do not have naval and air forces now, only the naval division under your command has boats, although they are all fishing boats and gunboats, but I believe that our commanders and comrades, since on land we can defeat the enemy armed with aircraft and artillery with millet plus rifles, then we can also defeat any enemy at sea, Although our conditions are still very poor, and the naval forces have just been established and are still in the cradle, I believe that our navy will quickly grow up in battle, and the air force will have it, and there will be aircraft.
"Commander Li is very confident in the prospects of his team, I believe that Zhou Wu and they can complete the blockade of Wusongkou, drive away the Kuomintang naval fleet, cover the siege force of the water mission, once the East China Field Army conquers Wusongkou, it is equivalent to blocking the retreat of the Kuomintang team from the sea, they can only withdraw from the air channel, but the air channel can not be loaded with many people, the main force of its troops will be annihilated and surrounded by the PLA team, and the battle of Shanghai will be a matter of course, this Oriental Pearl, China's largest city is about to return to the people Zhou Wu nodded: "Thank you for the trust of our superiors, we will definitely try our best to complete the task." ” "In addition, the central government instructed us not to use heavy artillery at the beginning of the general offensive, so as not to accidentally injure the citizens and buildings in the city, and try to win the uprising of the Kuomintang troops defending the city, so that we can take a two-pronged approach and strive to liberate Shanghai as soon as possible," Commander Li said. t1706231537:
