Chapter 522: Annihilation of the New 5th Army (3)
There was a sound of hurried footsteps behind him. Wang Yue turned his head and saw Chief of Staff Lin Tao running over with more than 80 soldiers from the 5th Company of the 2nd Battalion of the Reserve.
"chief of staff!"
Wang Yue's face, which was blackened by the smoke, began to tremble with excitement.
"Prepare for battle! Fire only after my command!" Lin Tao ordered loudly!
This time, they waited until the enemy came within 200 meters, and with Lin Tao's order,
The soldiers opened fire at full force, pouring bullets and anger on the heads of the enemies behind the tanks!
With a bang, an enemy tank fired a cannon at the position, and the machine guns continued to fire.
Without waiting for orders, Xiong Ke, a soldier from squad 3, rushed over with a rocket launcher. He had just run a dozen steps and before he reached the firing range, a string of bullets hit him and Xiong Ke died heroically!
"Grenade launcher! Suppress the back of the tank!" Lin Tao ordered anxiously.
Boom, boom, boom! Three grenade launchers fired more than twenty grenades in one breath.
With the cover of the explosion, another soldier quickly approached the tank and knocked a tank off its flank with a rocket launcher!
After the sacrifice of five soldiers, three of the four tanks were destroyed. Seeing that the situation was not good, the remaining one immediately turned around. Most of the enemy soldiers following the tanks were killed or wounded, so they had to retreat in panic!
Wenjiatai,
The headquarters of the 43rd Division of the Kuomintang Army,
Division Commander Xie Daizheng was getting a little anxious. Why did the Communist resistance suddenly increase? He stared at the map for a long time and made a decision that would cost him his life.
On the banks of the Xiushui River, the reason why the Communists fought desperately was definitely to cover the retreat of the main force. After all, the Nationalist Army was besieging them from three directions this time, and all those dispatched were the elite troops of the Nationalist Army in the Northeast!
He immediately instructed Chief of Staff Wang Sen,
"Send a telegram to the military headquarters. Our troops are facing crazy sniping attacks from the Communist Army in Xiushui River. We have captured the main force of the Communist Army! Request for support!"
After sending the telegram,
Wang Sen was still frightened by the fierce battle today. He said with some doubt,
"Commander, the Communist army's resistance today was very fierce. Not only was their firepower very strong, they also brought out tanks and armored vehicles. This is obviously the absolute main force of the Communist army!"
"That's right. We have already entangled the main force of the Communist army. Therefore, I will ask the military for help and try to encircle and annihilate this Communist army on both sides of the Xiushui River!"
"Division Commander, can we temporarily suspend our offensive? The 128th Regiment has suffered heavy casualties, and the 129th Regiment just took over and lost another battalion. Why not wait until reinforcements arrive?"
"No, we must intensify the offensive and stick to the opponent. It will be troublesome if the main force of the Communist army escapes!" Xie Daizheng shook his head!
He was secretly delighted. If they could encircle and annihilate the main force of the Communist army this time, the 43rd Division would surely be the first to achieve such great success!
The north bank of Liaohe River,
In a vast expanse of white snow,
Leading the way were two bulldozers parked side by side, slowly pushing the snow on the road.
Behind them was a long line of ten-wheeled trucks, jeeps, armored vehicles, more than 40 in total, and more than 50 horse-drawn carriages and sleds.
The soldiers were wearing thick cotton-padded clothes and sitting in the car. The biting cold wind kept howling, blowing up the snowflakes.
The convoy was like a long dragon, winding in the silver-white world. Every soldier's face was filled with determination and resoluteness, and their eyes revealed a fearless light.
In a jeep in the convoy,
Yuan Canhai, the head of the 3th Regiment of the 9th Division of the 25rd Column, held up a telescope and struggled to identify the target in the snow. He finally saw the outline of a small village in front of him on the left. He turned his head and said to Wu Bing,
"Chief of Staff, send a few people to the village ahead to ask, what is this place!?"
"Yes! Captain!"
A half-track armored vehicle roared out. This thing can come and go freely without shoveling snow!
The mission of the 3rd Column was to infiltrate the bank of the Liaohe River and launch an attack on the New Fifth Army from the east, while the mission of the 25th Regiment was to make a long-distance raid, directly penetrate behind the New Fifth Army and block its retreat to Xinmin!
Therefore, the 3rd Column handed over all the 25 trucks that had just been distributed to the th Regiment!
After a while, the half-track armored vehicle came back.
An officer holding a PPSh submachine gun came over and reported,
"Captain, Chief of Staff, Gaotaizi Village is ahead!"
Wu Bing was holding a map in his hand.
"Gaotaizi Village? Great, Captain, our target is here! The Xinmin Highway is just behind the village!"
Yuan Canhai immediately ordered,
"Order the troops to immediately enter Gaotaizi Village and seize the villages on both sides of the nearby highway!"
Wu Bing immediately jumped out of the jeep and started to make arrangements!
Yuan Canhai was filled with emotion. With these large trucks, the entire regiment arrived at the target location five hours ahead of schedule. Not to mention, the soldiers saved a lot of physical energy, and now they are full of energy!
Anda County, Oil Refinery,
Workers in rough work clothes and helmets were busy around the huge distillation tower. A large crane made a heavy roar and slowly lifted the heavy tower parts. The workers held various tools and carried out the installation work in a tense and orderly manner.
Their eyes were focused and determined, and every movement was full of strength and determination. Sweat soaked their clothes, but they did not slow down their work at all.
Yin Xinjun stood aside, holding a walkie-talkie and giving loud instructions. The workers listened to the instructions attentively and worked together to adjust the positions of the components to ensure that every connection was accurate.
This 15-meter-high distillation tower is the core equipment of the refinery. It uses the differences in boiling points of various components in crude oil to separate them into different fractions, such as gasoline fraction, diesel fraction, kerosene fraction, etc.
Behind Yin Xinjun,
Wang Peng, director of the Petroleum Supply Division of the Logistics Department of the headquarters, was very excited. This distillation tower was the last large-scale equipment installed in the refinery. The remaining parts were some small jobs, such as pipeline welding, etc.
The operation of the refinery has finally entered the countdown stage!
"Commander, I'm treating you tonight, how about we go out for a drink?" Wang Peng said!
"Okay, the next thing to do is just finishing up. It will probably take another three days to finish everything!"
The two drove a jeep to the bustling Anda County.
At this time, Anda County became more and more prosperous due to the influx of a large number of workers and the supply of electricity to the entire city. Even dozens of restaurants of all sizes were added!
Yin Xinjun suddenly pointed to a mutton soup bun shop and said,
"I haven't eaten this for a long time. Today we're having mutton soup with steamed buns!"
The two entered the store.
I ordered two bowls of Pao Mo, a basin of mutton soup, and two Roujiamo.
Yin Xinjun brought two more bottles of wine from the car.
Drinking and chatting,
Wang Peng smiled and said,
"The great industrial era of Northeast China is coming!"
"Director Wang, aren't you here already? Look at the light bulbs on the roof and the wires on the wall. These are all products produced in our Mulan Special Zone!"
"Commander, with the Mulan Special Zone and the Anda Oilfield, when the whole country is liberated and victorious, we Chinese will all live a good life!"
"Hehe, I'm just afraid that someone doesn't like us to live a peaceful life!" A cold light suddenly flashed in Yin Xinjun's eyes!
