As soon as the fat man heard that Zhou Wu actually asked him to suspend the general attack and focus on piecemeal fighting, he was anxious, hurriedly ran to Zhou Wu, and shouted at him: "Commander, there are still two hours before dawn, take advantage of the dark time, attack hard, maybe you can succeed, if it is piecemeal, I don't think there is any effect at all, those Yankees are hiding behind tanks and armored vehicles, without artillery, the soldiers can't rush at all." ” Zhou Wu listened to the fat man's words, he made a difficulty, this decision must be made by him, the fat man also made sense, the war is about a bang, if the attack is suddenly stopped now, it just gives those American troops on the road a chance to breathe, and when those American troops get reinforcements, and then launch a counterattack on their own troops, then the battlefield situation will be difficult to control, and the consequences will be unimaginable Zhou Wu asked Lao Xu beside him: "Lao Xu, what do you think?"
Lao Xu thought for a while, and suggested to Zhou Wu: "You can consider launching a general attack on the US army, but you must pay attention to the rhythm of the attack, and you can't fight into a stalemate, and at the same time immediately order Ge Sanmin and Xiao Zheng to speed up the march again, only when their two divisions arrive here, we can defeat the US troops on the road with a numerical advantage, otherwise we can only withdraw to the trenches before the US planes arrive at dawn." ” Lao Xu put forward a compromise plan, agreeing with the fat man's desperate style of play, but to be controlled, not to fight with the US army, before dawn has not completely eliminated the US troops, then immediately retreat to the positions on both sides of the road, otherwise it will encounter a large number of US planes bombarded indiscriminately, originally in the march and lurking there have been a large number of casualties of soldiers, if it is bombed by US planes again, the casualties of the troops are too great, the troops can not afford it.
Although he didn't know that the commander of the American army on the highway in front of him was the Colonel Robles, he could see from the combat effectiveness just now that this American commander was not simple, he had a very good set, as if he knew his own tactics very well, and took countermeasures in time, knowing that his team lacked large-caliber artillery, he used tanks and armored vehicles as a barrier to form a strong iron barrel formation to defend, Waiting for the rescue of the large troops of the 1st Marine Division behind.
It seems that this time it is not possible to go out, and instead of being bombed and beaten indiscriminately by US planes after dawn, it is better to take advantage of this opportunity to storm in one fell swoop The idea was made, Zhou Wu nodded and agreed to the fat man's tactics, the fat man went back happily, Zhou Wu immediately ordered Ge Sanmin and Xiao Zheng by radio, and asked them to speed up again, the general attack in Xinxingli was about to begin, if they couldn't catch it, they would lose their fighters After Ge Sanmin and Xiao Zheng received Zhou Wu's telegram asking them to speed up again, they hurriedly deployed, the team was divided into three groups, and the teams with strong combat effectiveness were selected to form a group, and the speed was interspersed with Xinxingli, and the troops of the second echelon followed closely, and the non-combatants such as the health unit and the cooking unit were behind, and the soldiers of the first echelon all advanced lightly, and when the order came down, the brothers threw away the things on their bodies, except for the few catties of fried noodles and guns and ammunition they were carrying, and the rest of the things were all left on the ground.
Leave it to the troops behind to pick up.
Ge Sanmin and Xiao Zheng and their team marched at a noticeable speed, the advance team they sent out earlier, under the leadership of Commander Li, crossed the mountains and mountains, and under the guidance of the North Korean guide, they finally arrived at Xinxingli a few minutes before Liu Pang and they launched a general attack on the American convoy on the road, the fat man saw that Ge Sanmin's advance team had arrived, and he was very happy, and hurriedly asked Regiment Commander Li and them to rush to the mountain pass in front, and blocked the pocket with a regiment commander under him: "Old Li, Your mission and that group is to block that pass and not let the Americans escape."
Lao Li nodded hurriedly, and rushed towards the mountain pass with his men, a regiment commander on the mountain pass had already dug a trench, and saw that reinforcements came, and they were all elite soldiers, and the commander of the regiment was also very happy, this time there are more teams, plus their own team, there is almost a regiment of troops guarding the mountain pass here, those American troops on the road want to pass from here, I'm afraid it will not be so easy, don't break a few big teeth and want to go over, there is not even a door Zhang Ercheng's artillery regiment commanded the artillery of the fat division, and in Zhang Ercheng's command, all the artillery of Zhou Wu's 11th Army that could bring new arrivals were all raised with black holes, although the caliber of the artillery was different, the size was different, and the large-caliber artillery of more than 100 mm could not be transported for a while due to the rugged mountain roads, and Zhang Ercheng could command about 200 small-caliber artillery, but the artillery expert was different, and he was based on the actual situation of the formation of American troops on the highway.
These small-caliber guns were grouped and sorted out, and those 75 mm mountain guns were used to bombard US tanks and armored vehicles, and 60 mm mortars and the rest of the small guns were concentrated on bombarding the US infantry behind the tanks.
What's more, the current conditions are much better than they were during the Anti-Japanese War With Zhang Ercheng's artillery order, the large and small artillery on the artillery position opened fire and bombarded one after another, and those 75 mm mountain guns were specially used to deal with the US tanks and armored vehicles on the road, although these shells could not blow up the armor of those tanks, but they exploded near the tank, and the shock wave of those explosions could still stun the US tank soldiers in the tank, not to mention that they could also blow up the US infantry who were nesting in the fortifications behind the tank Shells fell one after another, smashed around the US tanks and armored vehicles, although it was a 75 mm mountain artillery shell, but the power of the explosion was not to be underestimated, the air wave was raised, those US tank soldiers in the tank could not stand it, and they all used walkie-talkies to call Colonel Robles behind: "The colonel is not good, the Chinese have opened fire, our tanks are nested here, it is a big live target" Colonel Robles was also stunned, he didn't expect that the Chinese army on the opposite side would have such a fierce artillery attack, in his impression, these Chinese volunteers from the New Fourth Army Tuba Road were fighting against the Japanese devils at that time, but they didn't even have a fully equipped team of the Japanese army's 38 big cover, could it be that after more than three years of civil war, these New Fourth Army Tuba Road was equipped with advanced artillery Colonel Robles didn't know that it was his old Chiang Kai-shek, who was vigorously supported by the U.S. government, who became the captain of the New Fourth Army and the Tuba Road Transport Brigade in the past three years, and sent a steady stream of weapons from the U.S. military to aid the Kuomintang army to the hands of the People's Liberation Army "Ignore the artillery fire, keep the team still, pay attention to the surrounding movements, and once you find a touch, immediately knock them down" Robles sharply ordered his American troops, asking them not to move, in this situation, only to huddle in the bunker composed of tanks and armored vehicles is the safest, rushing out is simply looking for death The fat man's scouts are carefully observing the movement of the US military convoy on the road, the last time in the Battle of Yuncheng, they captured a batch of US military night vision binoculars, with this baby, it is much more convenient to see things at night, no matter how dark it is in front, as long as you use this night vision telescope to take a look, you can immediately see clearly, I don't know who leaked the news, the corps headquarters knew, and asked Zhou Wu to hand over half of it to the corps, no way, Zhou Wu had to stay and give half to the fat man and Ge Sanmin, The fat man gave these night-vision binoculars to the reconnaissance battalion, he thought that good things should be used to the fullest, and he didn't go to reconnaissance, it was a waste to use these advanced things of the Yankees, it was better to let the scout brothers carry them, maybe it would be more effective.
Zhang Ercheng's artillery bombardment was overwhelming, the mountains were shaking, the highway and both sides were filled with gunsmoke, the explosions came and went, and the US artillery immediately fired back, but because Zhang Ercheng hid the artillery on the anti-slope behind the hillside, the US artillery could not find Zhang Ercheng's position for a while in the dark night, and most of the shells fell on the open ground.
As soon as Colonel Robles saw that the artillery fire was ineffective, he immediately ordered the artillery to stop firing, save some ammunition, and wait for the Chinese to launch a full-scale attack before firing the artillery Under the bombardment of Zhang Ercheng's mountain artillery, the US tanks could no longer bear it, and the tracks of several tanks were blown off, and a raging fire broke out, and the tank soldiers inside couldn't stand it, and finally climbed out and retreated to the rear position, at this time, the scouts under the fat man, who were lying on the hillside and carefully observing the battlefield movements with infrared night vision binoculars, found this opportunity and immediately reported to the fat man: "Division commander, two US tanks in the northwest have been blown up, and there is a gap" The fat man waited for this opportunity, and hurriedly asked the scout: "Can you confirm that there is a gap in the American position?"
"That's right, we can see clearly in the binoculars, there are two tanks blown up, and several armored vehicles are about to be destroyed by our artillery fire, and the American soldiers in the tanks have already climbed out and run to the back," the scout replied affirmatively. t1706231537:
