Back to the Republic of China to be a editor

At 11:30, a large area of ​​the dark sea was illuminated by more than 20 flares, and a national army warship that was crossing the strait and rushing to the landing site appeared.

"I found an enemy ship, heading due west, with a speed of 20 knots." The observation post placed at a high point tried to identify the enemy ship on the sea through high-powered binoculars. "The ship type is an American-made escort destroyer, and it may be the "Taiping"!"

December 10, 31:0.

The huge bodies of three big buffaloes squeezed into the position of the 22th Division of the 166nd Corps of the National Army. The 166th Division now has less than 3000 people, all of whom are deployed in the first-line trenches at the end of the lake. When the 244th and 245th regiments went ashore, the 166th division could still use mortars and machine guns to fire wildly, trying to block our landing troops on the beach.However, the morale of the 166th Division collapsed when they saw a large group of Iron Kings floating up from the sea and rushing ashore.

Yang Ye, the battalion commander of the 233st Battalion of the 12.7rd Regiment, was on the first big buffalo that rushed into the position. He personally manipulated the [-]mm anti-aircraft machine gun while charging and fighting. The bullets sent sparks flying everywhere, and some soldiers of the national army ran back after climbing out of the trenches, and some threw away their guns in the trenches and raised their hands.

The national army's first-line defensive position has successfully broken through, and the 244th and 245th regiments are united. Next, they will capture Guanyinting Mountain, and then they will be able to obtain the first commanding height in the west of Kinmen Island!

With a flash above his head, Yang Ye suddenly found himself lit up. "Flare?"

When launching an attack on the beachhead National Army position, our army fired a wave of flares. Now that our army has occupied the position, the flares have been extinguished.When there was another bright light above the head, it was obviously from the national army, and they were ready to fight back.

……

The sea to the north of Mashan.

Another round of artillery shells came from the land, blasting more than a dozen water jets in the front left of the "Taiping". "Full left rudder! Full left rudder!"

The "Taiping" made a big turn and tilted its deck. The 76mm gun on the ship fired another round in the distance, and three shells flew out randomly.

"Commander, the distance from the landing site is too far, the bombardment is useless!" The gunnery commander reported to Li Yuxi, "The distance is at least 60 chains, and our ship's three-inch main gun can hit it, and the accuracy is very poor. Bofors, The Oerlikon guns were completely out of reach. The ship kept turning left and right, making aiming even more difficult!"

"I must ensure the safety of the Pacific ship!" Li Yuxi roared in a low voice, "There are at least 20 shore artillery on that island, and our ship can't see the shore artillery positions. It takes more than 2000 meters of straight waterway to break through the strait. Drilling inside, we are live targets for shore artillery!"

Li Yuxi was beaten hard, and my special artillery was also hard hit.

Shore guns hit warships, which is a professional fortress gun.The Fifth Pao Battalion and the Sixth Pao Battalion are equipped with Japanese-made Type 90 75mm field guns.

There is no professional aiming fire control, no rotating turret, and no protection—fortunately, the artillery positions are arranged in a depression, and the enemy ships cannot see them, so they cannot counterattack for the time being.It's just that the hit rate is too bad.However, if the hit rate is poor, you have to shoot desperately to intercept the enemy ship, and you cannot let the enemy ship rush through the narrow waterway.Once the enemy ship is allowed to rush into the sea near the landing site, and the main guns and auxiliary guns fire at close range, the trouble will be big.

……

Kinmen, Guningtou, Huwei, Longkou, Houcun landing points.

"Come on! One, two, three, push!"

Three boatmen supported the boat, and more than a dozen soldiers pushed in the water. With all their strength, the wooden boat finally moved back a little.

"Okay! Let's move, come again—"

"Boom! Boom!"

Three shells exploded in the sea.The boatman shrank back involuntarily, and then looked up. The shells were still far away from him, and the nearest one fell 200 meters away.

"My countryman! Don't be afraid! The artillery fire of the national army is not strong, hurry up!" The squad leader knocked on the hull of the ship in the water.The boss of the boat nodded, stood up again, and prepared to punt.

……

Kinmen, Guanyinting Mountain.

国军12兵团19军的副军长唐三少亲自带着第13师，向244、245团发起反冲击。

The broken soldiers of the 166th Division ran past sparsely, Tang Sanshao said angrily: "I know these frightened remnants and defeated generals are unreliable, just let us defend on the front line!"

The 13th Division approached Guanyinting Mountain, and as soon as it launched its attack formation, more than a dozen flares were fired from the opposite side.The national army's flares were also fired, and the starting positions of both sides were lit up.

"Why does this GONG army also fire flares?"

The sound of guns and guns suddenly became dense, and the M1919A4 heavy machine guns of the national army were suppressed by crazy firepower. Our army also had more than a dozen M1919A4s firing, mixed with the sound of M2 heavy machine guns. Suppressing the shooting, the rhythmic bursts of the 244-type heavy machine guns of the 245th and 92th regiments were also mixed in.

In the past, our army's tactics were night battles and close combat, quickly advancing at night, using grenades and bayonets to tear apart the line of defense at close range. For the sake of concealment in combat, flares were naturally not used.But today, there are twenty or thirty big buffaloes. The armored vehicle version is equipped with an anti-aircraft machine gun and a heavy machine gun. The tank version has a 1 howitzer and a heavy machine gun.

……

Xiamen.

At three o'clock in the morning, the big buffalo driven by Zhang Laoshun and Dahu appeared at the armored vehicle maintenance point in Houkeng, Xiamen.

During the 290-kilometer journey, the track was broken twice, the first time it was connected, and the second time it was replaced with a new one; the drive wheel was broken once.Hurry up, and finally finished this great rally in the early morning of October 10st.

"Your car is fine in other places, but the track needs to be replaced." The maintenance worker of Dalian Jianxin Company in blue overalls checked Zhang Laoshun's big buffalo, "The track group is very busy now. , Let’s fix it at noon today. Before you go to rest, cover the car with branches.”

The crew members sat on the roof of the car, thinking that their big buffalo would not be repaired until noon, and they didn't know when it would be repaired, and the pancakes and scallions in their hands suddenly became stale.

"Comrade! Comrade, please wait a moment." Dui saw two blue-clothed maintainers passing by beside his big buffalo, and quickly jumped out of the car to greet him. "Can you help us see if the track of this car can be repaired?"

The maintainer turned his head, and with the light in the distance, Duo saw that one of the two maintainers was a foreigner with a big nose, probably a Soviet engineer.

The maintainer took a brief look at the tracks with a flashlight. "Your tracks are quite worn... You can walk, but the paddles on the tracks have fallen off 2 pieces on the left side and 3 pieces off the right side. You are going to fight across the sea, and you have to sail continuously on the water for more than an hour. ...Well, if you want to fix it quickly, there is a way. Sergey!"

The Soviet man named Sergey nodded, opened the toolbox, and walked to the left side of Zhang Laoshun's big buffalo with a hammer in his left hand and a file in his right.

"Dang! Dang! Dang! Dang! Ding!"

"I removed one paddle on the left side, and now your car is missing three paddles on the left and right, so it's balanced." Sergey knocked off a track shoe in a symmetrical position, and cleaned the section with a file , wiped the sweat from his bald forehead, and said with a smile.

……

At 4 o'clock in the morning, Golden Gate.

Hu Lian has retreated two kilometers from the frontline observation position, and is now with the commander and deputy commander of the 19th Army.

The counterattack of the 13th Division failed. The 244th and 245th regiments had already occupied Guanyinting Mountain, and used the trenches dug by the 22nd Corps to establish a simple defensive position.

In the direction of Guanyinting Mountain, there was a flash of fire on the position, and a shell fired by an LVT(A)-4 flew over. It was aimed at the M12 light tank of the 5th Corps, but it missed the target and exploded 5 meters behind the M200. .

"Is the Zhongrong ship still in Liaoluowan?" Hu Lian whispered to the staff officer, "You find their captain immediately and tell them not to leave."

Chapter 19, Battle of Golden Gate ([-])

This night, the tank battle between the "Big Buffalo" and the M5 "Stuart" was very difficult for both sides.

The big buffalo is a big iron box with thin skin, and Stuart's armor is not much better.However, the main gun of the Big Buffalo is a 75mm howitzer. This small short-tube shell flies out in a trembling arc, and it is really difficult to hit another tank.

But this night's tank battle has nothing to do with armor or main guns. The biggest referee is night.The two sides fumbled around in the dark, relying on the flash of the explosion and the short-term illumination of the flares to fire a few shots indiscriminately. Our army blew up a Stuart, and the 22 Stuarts of the national army worked hard all night. Only one armored car version and one tank version were destroyed.

At 05:30 in the morning, the sky began to light up, and the air force of the national army was coming.

The big buffaloes of the 78th Division dispersed and stopped in depressions or inconspicuous places. They searched for branches and cut grass bales from all around to hide the armored vehicles.

Xiao Hong, the commander of the 28th Army, had established a front-line command post on Guanyinting Mountain. At 5:50, six fighter jets of the national army flew over the position first, and machine guns licked the ground facing the beach and trenches.Looking back, the 6 fighters strafed again.

Seeing the air force coming for reinforcements, Hu Lian also reorganized his troops to prepare for a counterattack.

Now, the 244th and 245th regiments captured Guanyinting Mountain, and the 246th regiment captured Shuangru Mountain. These two commanding heights made Hu Lian feel very uncomfortable.In particular, Shuangru Mountain actually divides the "dumbbell" of Kinmen into east and west sections. The east section has the 12th Division of the 19th Corps and the 18th Army, and the 18rd Division of the 43th Army that just landed last night.There are four divisions in the west section and Hu Lian's regiment headquarters (also in Jinmen City in the west section), but last night the 13th division admitted to entering two regiments, and they are almost useless.
