Rebirth from the Ashes: Rebuilding the Red Soviet Area

If you look from the sky, the entire Lingkengzhai Canyon battlefield is divided into four sections.

In the first part, Leopard led the sniper team, assault team and logistics team of the Dragon Blood Brigade to firmly guard the canyon entrance.

Prevent the enemy from escaping

In the second part, Zhao Wu led a team of people, pushing 4 mountain cannons

In the canyon, we chased the 83rd Division from behind as they tried to escape, while eliminating the enemies who had fallen behind.

The third part is Li Yan leading the Dragon Blood Brigade's firepower team, artillery team and Gao Xuan's second team.

Waiting at the canyon exit

Part 4: Zhang Dong led three teams to establish defense outside the canyon exit.

Prevent the enemy reconnaissance troops that have already rushed out of the canyon from coming back to support

In a short while

Less than 1000 men from the 83rd Division have reached the canyon exit.

The two sides confronted each other head-on, and the battle instantly became fierce

Although the 247th Brigade of the 83rd Division suffered heavy losses, its combat effectiveness remained strong.

Taking advantage of the valley's favorable terrain, the battle was successful.

In less than five minutes, one-third of Li Yan's men were killed.

This is the gap between new recruits and veterans on the front line

Gao Xuan held a heavy machine gun and fired crazily

He cursed angrily: "Son of a bitch, these enemies have been severely damaged, but they are still fighting so hard."

Li Yan snorted coldly and said, "A trapped beast will still fight."

"The enemy now knows that if they don't fight hard, they will die."

“That’s why they can unleash such powerful fighting power.”

“We need to eliminate them quickly.”

"Guo Dali, your artillery team, hit me hard!"

"I don't want to hear the enemy's heavy machine guns and mortars anymore."

Guo Dali said: "Leave it to me"

"Zhao Sanpao, bombard the enemy's mortars behind the enemy lines!"

Zhao Sanpao gestured with his thumb and shouted, "Raise the muzzle 3 degrees and fire a test shot."

"boom"

Guo Dali yelled, "Zhao Sanpao, do you know how to shoot a cannon?"

Zhao Sanpao gestured with his thumb and said, "Turn left two notches, ten bursts."

Boom boom boom

A round of artillery fire suddenly appeared behind the enemy.

All enemy mortars have been silenced.

Li Yan excitedly said loudly: "Guo Dali, Zhao Sanpao, well done!"

"I'll give you a great credit and treat you to a drink when I get back."

"Without artillery support, I wonder how you can break through."

Just when Li Yan was happy, Dong Liang came running over in a panic.

Panting, he said: "Captain, it's not good"

"Captain Zhang Dong's side, more than half of them were killed or wounded."

“I can’t take it anymore.”

Li Yan shouted angrily: "Fisherman, take the fire team to support Captain Zhang!"

"Tell Zhang Dong that even if all the members of the Third Detachment are killed, they must hold on!"

“We must not let anyone come here.”

The fisherman answered loudly, "Yes"

"Fireteam, follow me!"

Li Yan was anxious. The battle here was so stalemate.

If Zhangdong cannot stop the enemy's cavalry company from rushing out, the machine gun company

Once the two sides meet, it will be dangerous.

At this critical moment

Four howitzer shells exploded among the enemy

The power is so great that it shakes the earth

Li Yan was overjoyed: "Comrades, Zhao Wu is here!"

"Beat them all hard!"

The battle in Lingkengzhai Canyon is coming to an end soon

The battle lasted from morning to noon, and both sides paid a heavy price.

The 247th Brigade had 2000 men, 1200 of whom were killed, 400 captured, and less than 400 seriously wounded.

Chief of Staff Wei and Commander Li of the Vanguard Regiment were killed by grenades during the battle.

Lieutenant General Liu, commander of the 83rd Division, was injured in one leg by the explosion.

Major General Li Ying of the 247th Brigade of the 83rd Division was captured alive

The Meishan guerrilla brigade also suffered heavy losses.

The three detachments lost more than 500 men in total, with more than 300 wounded, leaving less than 300 men able to fight.

The battle at Lingkeng Village was too dangerous.

More than 1000 recruits with less than three months of training versus more than 2000 elite troops of the National Army

If it weren't for the terrain advantage and trickery, the enemy's morale would have been disrupted from the beginning.

The battle of Lingkeng Village might lead to the annihilation of the Meishan Guerrilla Brigade.

At this point in the battle, Li Yan had not rested for three days and three nights.

But Li Yan didn't dare to rest
