The fat man was anxious, and returned to the Wulongshan position with the motorboat, Lao Wu they had no choice, so they had to follow closely behind with the fishing boats, and the Kuomintang naval ships on the sea saw that there were a number of fishing boats, so they immediately turned their guns and bombarded the fat man's gunboats, the fat man was not honest this time, and hurriedly returned fire with the small cannons on the gunboats, because the gunboats were extremely fast, the large-caliber naval guns on the ships had a slow rate of fire, and it was not easy to aim, and most of the shells hit the sea for a while, except for the sky-high water columns, It doesn't hurt the fat men who meander around their gunboats.
As a result, such a scene appeared on the sea surface of Kinmen Island, where the Kuomintang naval ships desperately used naval artillery fire to intercept the PLA ships rushing from Xiamen, causing gunpowder smoke to roll on the sea surface and huge waves to the sky, but the PLA motorboats that rushed in with artillery fire not only did not retreat in the slightest, but also drove faster and faster, they kept maneuvering back and forth on the sea surface, trying to avoid the shells that were fired, and Lao Wu, who was following behind the fat motorboat, bombarded the enemy ships with mortars and other weapons on board.
Attracting the enemy's naval artillery fire, covering the fat man in front, their motorboat successfully rushed to the vicinity of the Wulongshan position on Kinmen Island, and rescued Lao Lu and them, who were still there to resist the attack of a large number of Kuomintang troops At this moment, the two corps of Hu Lian, who reinforced the defenders of Kinmen Island, have almost all landed ashore, and the brothers of Lao Lu's advance team here in Wulong Mountain are only less than twenty percent of the men and horses left, most of the brothers died under the enemy's tank and armored vehicles when they broke through to the tidal flat position, but the enemy also suffered a lot of losses, the tanks and armored vehicles alone were blown up by Lao Lu with explosive packs and cluster grenades, and the enemy infantry behind the tank armored car was also killed and wounded.
If it weren't for the machine guns of the overseers behind them, these enemies would have fled.
Hearing that the reinforcements had arrived, the head of the defending army, Commander Ji, was extremely excited, thinking that the time had come to completely annihilate and land on the island, and according to President Chiang's telegram order, he went so far as to order all the two corps of the reinforcements to rush to the area of the tidal flat position on Kinmen Island without the consent of Commander Hu Lian, who was several levels higher than him, to block the retreat of the island.
Chief Hu was a little unhappy, and thought: This kid surnamed Ji doesn't take my old Hu too seriously, although you have President Jiang's telegram, but you have to consult with me before acting, now it's better, directly give orders to my troops, what kind of system is this Commander Hu hurriedly sent a telegram to the two army commanders under him, asking them to suspend their actions until they received orders from him.
Such a small raffle that was commonplace in the Kuomintang army won a precious opportunity and time for the remaining brothers of Lao Lu, who were desperately breaking through the siege in the Wulongshan area, to board the ship and evacuate, most of the troops who landed in other places had been killed in battle, and some of the teams saw that there was no hope of evacuation, so they retreated to the mountainous area in the middle of Kinmen Island, continued to fight guerrilla and insisted on resisting, and finally ran out of ammunition and food, most of the soldiers died in the mountains, and a small part were captured by the Kuomintang troops who searched the mountains.
Lao Lu's two hundred or so brothers after a fierce attack, finally broke through several lines of defense of the enemy, rushed to the shore of the tidal flat, the fat man and their motorboat just arrived, without saying a word, the brothers have to get on the boat to evacuate, Lao Lu saw the fat man who was also covered with blood, sad and indignant, choked up on him and said: "Commander Liu, our regiment is all over, only so many brothers are left, it's all my fault, I got the wrong course, and I floated to Wulong Mountain."
The fat man hurriedly comforted Lao Lu and said: "If you want to blame me, the division commander who led the team, you are right, you were blown to Wulong Mountain by the strong wind, and it is quite good to be able to hold on to it and wait for help, and break out of the enemy's encirclement, now don't talk nonsense, before the enemy's large army arrives to make our dumplings, quickly retreat."
The flotilla quickly returned to the flotilla under artillery fire, and the Kuomintang air force planes rushed to the flotilla and threw down large aerial bombs at the flotilla, and when Lao Wu and the others arrived, they had already expected to be bombed by enemy planes, so before leaving, they specially found a few antiaircraft guns and anti-aircraft heavy machine guns from the entire corps and mounted them on the fishing boats for air defense; as soon as they saw the enemy planes flying over the fleet, Lao Wu immediately ordered the antiaircraft guns and antiaircraft planes to open fire on the enemy planes in the sky.
The pilots of the planes who came to bomb did not expect to be suddenly bombarded by the flotilla below, so they hurriedly raised the nose of the plane and hid in the clouds above, while the fat men below took the opportunity to fire smoke bombs, and the flotilla quickly withdrew towards the coast of Xiamen under the cover of the antiaircraft guns of Lao Wu's armed fishing boats.
When Hu Lian realized that something was wrong, and hurriedly rushed to the tidal flats around Wulong Mountain with the two army teams under his command, the fat man and they had already sailed several seas away, and the division commander Ji suggested that a ship be sent to pursue immediately, and Chief Hu shook his head and said: "Don't chase, the war has always been cunning, I don't know what is waiting for us in front this time, take advantage of it, don't rush to chase it, so as not to be fooled, although some people and horses ran away this time, but the loss was more than seven or eighty percent, and it ended up a fiasco."
Just enough to sharpen their sharpness, Kinmen Island has finally been saved, and Taiwan seems to be worry-free."
On the returning sea, the fleet was shelled by enemy warships cruising back and forth on the sea, and was blown up and sank many fishing boats, fortunately, those brothers on the boat were all excellent water-based "white stripes in the waves", with the lifebuoys and broken planks thrown down from the boats next to them, and the fleet finally arrived at Weitou Town five hours later, on the shore, Zhou Wu and Ge Sanmin were so anxious that they couldn't even eat, they couldn't sleep, Shen Lina had already taken the doctors and nurses of the health camp to wait on the edge of the beach with stretchers, So that the wounded brothers in the fat man's team can get off the ship and immediately carry out on-site treatment, save the lives of these wounded brothers as much as possible, and reduce the losses of this landing battle As soon as the fat man came ashore, he choked up when he saw Zhou Wu and Ge Sanmin Lao Xu, and the fat man's wife Xiao Liu rushed out of the crowd, tightly protecting the fat man, crying, while hammering his back with a small fist, and scolded in his mouth: "You finally came back, I just said, if you let me be a widow at such a young age, I will not let you go even if I go to the underworld, our child is less than ten years old, you will definitely not leave our mother and son." ” The fat man's attitude at the moment was very gentle, and he wiped away the tears on Xiao Liu's face with his chubby hand blackened by gunsmoke, and said to her gently: "So many people are watching us, okay, aren't I coming back?"
Zhou Wu came up, held the fat man's hand, and said to him: "Lao Liu, it's good that you can come back, so many brothers have died on the opposite island, the responsibility for the fiasco of this operation is completely on me, you go back to rest first, tomorrow I will go to the corps headquarters to ask for punishment, someone must be responsible for the death of so many brothers, I am the person in charge of this operation, naturally I should be responsible." ” As soon as the fat man heard that Zhou Wu was going to the corps headquarters to ask for punishment, to be responsible for the fiasco on Kinmen Island, and the three reinforced regiments were almost completely wiped out, so he immediately scolded: "Commander, don't take all the responsibility on yourself, you are responsible, is it that their corps is not responsible, it was hot-headed at the beginning, and without knowing the law of the tides, without conducting detailed reconnaissance before the war, they rashly launched an attack, and because Hu Lian's two armies came to reinforce and launched an attack two days in advance, Can you be blamed for these things, if the above really holds you responsible, I, Lao Liu, as the actual commander of this battle, will be the first to disagree."
The fat man was straightforward and fast-talking, he spoke without hindrance, what did he say, as soon as he heard that Zhou Wu was responsible for this fiasco, he immediately became anxious and shouted.
Lao Niu and Chief of Staff Lao Xu also nodded frequently and said: "Yes, Lao Zhou's responsibility for this fiasco cannot be borne by you alone, and we, as your deputy, are also responsible for not dissuading them in time, since the big mistake has been made, let us bear it together." ” As soon as the fat man heard the political commissar and the chief of staff speak like this, he nodded and said: "The chief of staff and the political commissar are gentlemen, Lao Liu, I admire you very much, so let's do it, the military commander, I will follow tomorrow, and it is my responsibility for everyone to bear it." ” Ge Sanmin and Xiao Zheng also expressed their willingness to share the responsibility for Zhou Wu, Zhou Wu was very moved, and said to everyone: "Thank you brothers for your love, Ma is very grateful, but as the commander of this battle, I should take responsibility for it, and it has nothing to do with the brothers, especially Lao Xu, you once tried to dissuade me from acting cautiously, but because of my hot brain, the current situation has occurred due to the light enemy, you don't want to say it, I will go to the corps headquarters alone tomorrow."
At this time, the officers under the fat man reported the losses of the team attacking Kinmen Island, more than 9,000 brothers of the three reinforced regiments, less than five or six hundred people were able to return alive, and the battle loss rate was as high as 95 percent, which can be said to be the annihilation of the whole army, not counting these losses alone, and later went to reinforce Lao Wu They also lost most of their brothers and ships, so it is not an exaggeration to say that this Kinmen Island landing operation, Zhou Wu's three reinforced regiments encountered Waterloo and the whole army was annihilated, it was really a fiasco, Bloody lesson The next day, in the headquarters of the Corps in Xiamen City, Zhou Wu talked about his brothers who had died under the enemy's guns, and he actually wept bitterly, demanding that his superiors give him the punishment he deserved, because of his own command mistakes, which led to the heaviest losses since the Liberation War, and he should be severely punished, otherwise he would not be able to convince the public t1706231537:
