Soon, all the light machine gunners of the two reserve regiments gathered at the entrance of the command post.
"Comrades, you have also seen that the enemy classification is always hanging overhead. Many of our comrades have fallen under the plane. What should we do?" Liu Hua said, looking at the team of nearly 200 people at the door.
"Knock him down and avenge his comrades! Revenge!" the team of two hundred people roared at the same time.
"Yes, revenge, we want to avenge our fallen comrades." Liu Hua paused and continued; "Comrades, now I will personally lead you to defeat them, are you afraid?" Liu Hua shouted loudly.
"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid..."
"Regiment Commander, I disagree. I don't agree with you putting yourself in danger. There are so many cadres below, why can't you be there?" Political Commissar Guan Xiangying immediately retorted after hearing Liu Hua's words.
"My political commissar, if you have one more minute now, the soldiers will suffer one more casualty. Now only I know how to shoot down the enemy's plane. Don't worry, I won't put myself in danger," Liu Hua said anxiously.
"Okay! Guard Company 1, you follow the legion commander. Be in a hurry and protect the life and safety of the legion commander. If anything happens to the legion commander, don't come back." The political commissar shook his head and solemnly ordered to the commander of the guard company.
road.
"Yes! Political commissar, resolutely complete the task!" the company commander said with assurance.
Liu Hua shook his head and said nothing. He took the lead and walked towards the city wall. The nearly 100 light machine guns were divided into nine groups, and each group of ten machine guns formed a square array.
"Remember, it is forbidden to fire during the enemy's first bombing next time. When the locals drop bombs for the second time, all firepower will be opened. Remember, the target must be aimed at the two fuselages in front of the aircraft. As for the
Why, I will explain the reason to you after this battle?" Liu Hua raised his head and looked at the plane flying in the distance, and immediately ordered, "Everyone is on your place and disperse immediately."
Soon, three light bombers came overhead and dropped a round of bombs from a distance. Seeing that there was no prevention and control firepower on the ground, the group leader immediately became happy and shouted to his wingman: "Brothers, the troops below are under attack.
The army doesn’t have any firepower for prevention and control, let’s go down and use machine guns to teach them a lesson!”
Soon, the two wingmen signaled their agreement.
Immediately, the three planes began to slowly lower their altitude and flew towards the city wall.
At this time, Liu Hua was holding a machine gun and pointed at the leading plane inquiringly. "Hit!" Liu Hua shouted loudly. In an instant, nearly a hundred tongues of flame appeared above the city wall, and the three planes turned around before they could even turn.
Into the tongues of fire.
A plane led by "Boom" immediately took over, bursting into brilliant fireworks in the sky, and the two wingmen next to it also smoked black smoke and flew out of the city. "Long live, long live!" the soldiers on the city wall shouted.
There were excited shouts one after another. Liu Hua also walked down the city wall with a smile, not forgetting the order: "If the enemy plane comes again later, we will still follow the old method. Because Liu Hua knew that at the moment just now, the three pilots
It was impossible to report the attack. The enemy would still send out enemy planes for bombing. Chiang Kai-shek would only feel heartbroken if he lost a few more planes.
From a distance, the political commissar came out with some people from the legion. "Commander of the legion, I didn't expect that you shot down three planes with light machine guns like this. What a miracle! You know, in the past, the Red Army specially
There are regulations that prohibit soldiers from shooting in the air. I didn’t expect to lead the regiment commander to kill three enemy aircraft. The enemy should not be so arrogant now!" the political commissar said with a smile.
"Political Commissar, it's nothing. After this battle, we will strengthen the prevention and control training of the troops." Liu Hua was not happy and immediately suggested.
"Yes, I agree."
Just as Liu Hua and the political commissar were discussing the prevention and control training of the stronger troops, three more enemy planes came to the sky above Changde. In the fire net of nearly a hundred machine guns, one plane exploded on the spot, and another plane was injured.
After escaping, the last family made an emergency landing on the flat ground outside the city. The pilot was killed by a machine gun bullet and the plane was destroyed. Looking at such results, everyone laughed.
"Order the troops to move up the mountain artillery battery, strengthen the offensive, and be sure to occupy the whole city before dark. The enemy's reinforcements are coming soon. We must seize the time and use artillery shells if we can. Don't save me ammunition. Try your best.
To reduce the casualties of the troops, mobilize the Sixth Reserve Regiment and return all the light machine guns to the team." Liu Hua calmly arranged the task.
"Commander of the Army, what should we do about prevention and control after the light machine guns return to the army?" Sun Xingbang, the commander of the first division, raised his own question.
"Haha, Mr. Sun, do you think Chiang Kai-shek will send planes here after learning about the loss of roof-truss aircraft in Changde? You must know that Chiang Kai-shek has very few aircraft that can be used for combat. He lost five aircraft at one time. I
Look at Chiang Kai-shek now regretting sending planes to fight,"
"Yes! The legion commander's analysis was thorough. Haha."
Soon, in the absence of aircraft harassment and with the support of 12 mountain guns from the mountain artillery company, the three attacking forces made rapid progress. In less than two hours, they successively broke through several enemy blockades.
, the enemy's remaining forces, approximately two battalions, were compressed into several courtyards near the headquarters. At this time, the reconnaissance battalion commander Liu Xiaogang came to Liu Hua and the political commissar with a face filled with smoke.
"Report to the corps commander, political commissar, and reconnaissance battalion that the mission has been successfully completed. The enemy's ammunition depot and grain depot in Changde are all controlled by the soldiers of the reconnaissance battalion, waiting for the corps commander and political commissar to go and inspect."
"Well, Comrade Liu Xiaogang, you have done a good job. This time the legion's ammunition will be replenished by this ammunition depot. I will definitely give you credit." Political Commissar Guan Xiangying said with a smile.
Liu Hua nodded and looked at the compound where the enemy was defending. "Political Commissar, it seems that the enemy does not intend to surrender. I think we should attack by force."
The political commissar glanced at his watch and nodded.
"Tell the artillery battalion commander to fire five salvos at the enemy's entrenched compound, and the troops will then clean up the battlefield." Liu Hua thought for a while, turned to the political commissar and said: "Political commissar, once the artillery is deployed, nothing will happen here.
, let’s go to the enemy’s ammunition depot!”
Immediately, several people, led by Liu Xiaogang, walked towards the ammunition depot.
"Captain Wang, have you calculated the amount of ammunition?" Liu Hua looked at the door and asked the commander of the first reconnaissance company eagerly. You know, after the siege battle, the troops continued to replenish their ammunition, so Liu Hua had to be in a hurry.
"Reporting to the commander of the regiment, statistics have been calculated. There are 1 million rounds of rifle ammunition, 100,000 rounds of heavy machine gun rounds, 200,000 rounds of light machine gun rounds, 50,000 rounds of various submachine gun and pistol ammunition, 2,000 rounds of mortar rounds, and 20,000 grenades.
.”
"Oh, now you don't have to worry anymore. The troops' ammunition has been found." The political commissar said excitedly.
The order is that after the troops have completely wiped out the enemy, they should immediately go to the ammunition depot to collect ammunition. The ammunition is required to reach the pre-war condition. All the ammunition will be handed over to the artillery battalion, and the remaining ammunition will be handed over to the guard battalion of the regiment headquarters. In the evening, each department will rest in the city. Tomorrow's
