Heroes of the Resistance Reborn

Chapter 75: Meng Yan's Great Victory III

Li Jiansheng personally directed each unit of the 19th Division to set up ambush positions.

Fortunately, these are all veterans. They don’t engage in ambushes once or twice. Practice makes perfect. Now they are doing such things one after another. Some of them have just joined the Hunan Army and the Zhou Hunyuan Department of the Central Army. The reformed soldiers, except for some active ones, have not been issued weapons for the time being. They are temporarily used as transport troops for artillery troops and logistics troops. This is what Li Jiansheng meant. After all, this battle is too important. He is not allowed to go out. In case of any accident, I was afraid that these soldiers would have some temporary repercussions, so I issued this order. Because at the critical moment of the ambush, as long as one soldier fired a shot, everyone's efforts would be in vain.

Li Jiansheng personally walked through the trenches and inspected each bunker. He was still satisfied with the work of the engineering unit. As for the artillery, with Liu Fugui here, he was not worried. Now this kid has become a real artillery expert. Machine guns were one of the key areas Li Jiansheng inspected. He even personally checked the shooting elements of 20 heavy machine guns. He found that there were no problems, so he stopped. The mines laid along the road. Li Jiansheng meant to wait for the enemy troops in front. After passing through, use the enemies behind to plant mines during the 10 miles between them to achieve the effect of surprising the enemies. Of course, there are more grenades at the moment. Li Jiansheng has equipped each soldier with enough standard grenades. Other former enemy soldiers who had been converted into regular soldiers were selected with good arms to form a grenade team. Each man was equipped with 30 grenades. He also found some of the 117 old Red Army soldiers he had rescued on the bank of the Xiang River to lead them. What Li Jiansheng means is that these people will play the role of "second artillery" in the subsequent battles. They just drop bombs wherever there are many enemies. They have only one purpose: to cooperate with the artillery to disperse the enemies and break their will. In order to maximize the effect of the grenades, Li Jiansheng even stood in the trench and tried throwing several grenades. He only stopped after confirming that the grenades would achieve the best effect at the best throwing point.

The work of the 19th Division was done in detail. And the news from the heads of other regiments on the phone also showed that whether it was Yuntian, Ji Zhentong, Peng Zhi and others, they all did their work extremely meticulously. Obviously, everyone has done a good job. Influenced by Li Jiansheng's thought of "emphasis on firepower and light on charge", the first priority was to configure firepower. After hearing the detailed introductions of several generals, Li Jiansheng felt that it was similar to his own configuration, so he did not say much.

The position was set up in the morning. At about 2 o'clock in the afternoon, the observation post reported that the enemy's leading troops were coming. Li Jiansheng knew that this was the 173rd Brigade of the enemy's 59th Division. He didn't care because all the units had already been ordered to let the enemy pass because they were well hidden. Standing at a high place, you can't find the trenches and bunkers of Li Jiansheng's headquarters at all. Only when you get closer will you find a troop ambushing on the hills on both sides. And Li Jiansheng has already ordered that if the enemy's scouts come, try to avoid them. Don't alert them. If they come too close, let the security forces find ways to deal with it.

Xue Yue is indeed a famous general who leads troops. It can be seen just from the scouts sent out in all directions. The appearance and formation of the troops also show that this is an elite troop. However, perhaps it is because there has been no major blockage by the Red Army along the way. Or harassment. Most of these scouts only looked at it from a distance and did not check in detail on the spot. Therefore, Li Jiansheng's ambush position was able to pass smoothly. The 173rd Brigade passed. Obviously, there was no obstruction by the red bandits, which made the enemy very difficult. It's contempt. The reconnaissance basically went through the door, because the next few positions had news that the enemy had passed. As for the other brigades that came with the 173rd Brigade, because our troops had just passed by, the scouts He didn’t send any more. He just walked over in a swaggering manner.

Finally, the 275th Brigade of the Tang Yunshan Division of the enemy's 93rd Division entered the ambush circle of the 19th Division. Li Jiansheng chose a suitable time to shoot first. At that moment, he killed an enemy officer riding a horse. Following the firing of the regiment commander's gun. All units of the 19th Division opened fire quickly, while other soldiers pulled ropes one after another. Landmines were detonated in batches. It was pitiful that such an elite brigade was blown to pieces by landmines before they could respond. Some officers, The gunners and firemen were shot in the head one after another before they had time to organize the firepower. And the groups of machine gun muzzles on both sides of the mountains sprayed bullets like sickles harvesting weeds. They fired one at a time, and a group of enemies fell instantly. As for the artillery, I don't spare any ammunition at this time. I just use the artillery to smash the enemy's piles. Especially where there are many enemies and dense crowds, just hit it. It's pitiful. The enemy has several counterattacks that he wants to organize. This man still has Before they could gather them all, they were all blown to pieces. Others wanted to counterattack on the hilltop. They were either fired by light machine guns, or were blown back and scattered by a burst of grenades from the new recruits who came over.

Because the method used in the last ambush of Zhou Hunyuan's troops was adopted. The ambush circle was drawn into a grid. Each company was responsible for one grid to ensure that there was no blind spot for firepower. Therefore, now that the ambush was fought together, the enemy could not hide at all, no matter where they ran. .There is always firepower following. Except for real death or fake death, there is no other way.

Li Jiansheng's 19th Division poured out ammunition for more than 20 minutes. This elite Central Army collapsed. Although these enemy soldiers were not afraid of death and continued to organize counterattacks, Li Jiansheng's troops did not give them a chance at all. They only used bullets. , artillery, and grenades. In addition, there are three times the enemy's strength, and the firepower is much stronger than the enemy. No matter how elite the enemy is, there is only one way: death.

When the crazy artillery of Liu Fugui's artillery unit exploded from the center of the enemy, then spread to the surroundings; then concentrated bombing from the periphery to the center; after blowing up the center, they spread to the surroundings. It was like a comb combing hair. In this way, it was combed back and forth. Three times, the enemy was blown away. When Liu Fugui was about to sort out the fourth time, Li Jiansheng discovered that if he sorted it out again, there would definitely not be many people left in the brigade. The enemy had already collapsed. There was no need to waste any more shells. In addition, It is always good to capture more prisoners. The quality of these Central Army troops is not comparable to that of the Hunan Army. Therefore, Liu Fugui stopped his actions and rushed out of the trench first. As soon as he moved, the guard company around him moved first. Get up. Xu Jinsong was not far away from him. As soon as they moved, the 61st assault regiment designated by Li Jiansheng. Those soldiers who had already been unable to bear the charge and were only waiting for the order of the regiment commander saw that the regiment commander and the guard company charged first. How could they care so much? They crawled out of the trenches in batches and rushed towards the enemy. As soon as they charged, the entire division moved. More than 12,000 people moved. However, they were a little late. Wait. They rushed to the center of the ambush circle. Only less than 800 prisoners could survive. A considerable number of them were seriously injured.

In this way, the entire brigade ended their mission. Once the 19th Division completely defeated the enemies of this brigade, it immediately divided its troops. Most of them rushed forward from the hills on both sides to support Zeng Zhongsheng's troops against the 276th Brigade and the 277th Brigade. of blocking.
