In July 1949, in the north, in the summer, only three months after the founding of New China, but the war was not over. The Northwest Second Horse is entrenched in the northwest of the motherland, in a vain attempt to dominate forever, and it is decided to send the first field army to completely annihilate the enemy and liberate the northwest of the motherland.
The Northwest Bandit Army is like a cancer on the land of China, which must be completely eradicated and a clear sky must be restored to New China. **Received the order of ***, and was determined to go all out to completely annihilate the Northwest bandit army.
Mr. Peng thinks that if we are seventy or eighty percent sure, then we have a lot of confidence. ”
Although on the surface we are facing various disadvantages, from the perspective of the general trend, justice and the people are on our side. The final victory will definitely belong to us, and the soldiers of the field army are full of fighting spirit, and with determination and courage they try to take Lanzhou, the gateway to the northwest, in one fell swoop.
The Battle of Doujiashan is about to break out, and the first battle is in Doujiashan. Doujia Mountain is surrounded by mountains on three sides, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the enemy is full of confidence in the defense project it has been operating for many years, even if we have 100,000 people, we will not be able to conquer Doujia Mountain.
The enemy is indeed not to be underestimated, they used explosives to blow up the mountain facing us into a three-dimensional mountain face up to 6 meters high, as Li Bai wrote in the poem, this is simply as difficult as the Shu Road, it is difficult to go to the sky.
On this hill, there was a strong pillbox, in which two local corps were stationed. Among them, one of the corps is also Ma Bufang's guard regiment, and the soldiers of this corps believe in superstition, similar to the Tianping Heavenly Kingdom during the Qing Dynasty, they believe that after drinking the so-called "Fu Shui", they can be invulnerable.
In addition, the enemy dug three trenches 6 meters deep and 6 meters wide outside the trenches, and covered them with mines and barbed wire, forming a military defense line that was heavily defended from the inside to the outside, as if turning the place into an impenetrable barrier.
On a battlefield full of dangers, our army needs to tear a hole. Such hardships and sacrifices are unimaginable for those of us who live in times of peace. Army Commander Zheng Weishan found the division commander and political commissar of the 189th Division and asked them about their combat strategy.
They reported in detail on the enemy's formation and layout, and the enemy set up 15 serial numbers for the defensive projects, and each project cooperated with each other to form a defense that combined points and surfaces.
The weakest link of these is the enemy's point No. 1. After hearing their report, Zheng Weishan commanded the 566th and 567th regiments as the main attack force, and he would use our powerful artillery fire on the periphery to weaken the enemy's firepower.
As the cannon sounded, the enemy's positions were illuminated by the light of fire, the powerful fire was suppressed, and the cowardly people hid in the pillboxes and did not dare to show their heads. However, the companies of our army continued to advance, and Captain Su Quanmin, as the leader of the commando team of the 3rd company, was brave and fearless, fearless of artillery fire and bullets, and resolutely moved forward.
Not to be outdone, the enemy organized overseers, death squads, and law enforcement squads, and they tried to demoralize our army with beautiful women, power, and money.
On the battlefield, the enemy galloped out on fast horses, they were naked, shouting in their mouths, waving ** in their hands, and the fighters of our army fell in resistance. These are the real heroes, fall and death cannot stop our pace, even if the enemy is as fierce as a wolf, even if only death awaits us in the end, we will knock you down before we die, even if we can only break off a few of your teeth.
At 2 o'clock in the afternoon, the enemy's counter-charge became more and more intense, and the artillery fire of our troops could not strike accurately. But the heroic warriors were undaunted, and their breasts were filled with endless courage and determination.
The submachine guns and bayonets in their hands have long faced the enemy army, and only by annihilating the enemy can they feel satisfied. This battle of Shenjialing was extremely brutal, with the 31st and 32nd regiments participating in the battle.
However, in a head-to-head battle with the enemy, the 32 regiment ** was defeated. Therefore, our army decided to use the 32nd Regiment as the main force and the 31st Regiment as an auxiliary to continue the fight against the stubborn enemy.
From the regiment commander to the soldiers, no one was afraid of death. The commander of the 32 regiment, Feng Youcai, decided to carry out a sneak attack under the cover of night, but unfortunately, his actions were discovered by the enemy.
He and his comrades put up a desperate resistance, but fortunately they had the help of other comrades who passed by accidentally, otherwise they would have died in this battle.
At such a critical moment, not a single fighter flinched, and the deputy regimental commander Mark led the fighters in a surprise attack on the enemy from the cliffs. However, they were ambushed by the enemy, and the mines directly took the lives of the deputy regimental commander, the guard and the chief of staff, and their souls became part of the land, which was extremely tragic!
In the face of the enemy's frantic counterattack, the soldiers of the 31st Regiment were fearless, and despite the rain of bullets and corpses on the battlefield, they still held their positions and did not flinch in the slightest.
The regimental commander, Ma Xueli, stood on the high ground, commanding Ruoding, and although the guards warned him of danger many times, he never flinched. In the end, he died heroically on the yellow earth full of bullet casings, giving his life to defend his homeland.
In this battle, which lasted 13 hours, our troops killed 3,800 enemy soldiers, which is a remarkable record. However, we also paid a heavy price, a total of 3,000 heroic soldiers left us forever, and 13 regimental cadres died heroically.
According to the recollections of Li Shaobai, the chief of staff of the enemy, their commander Ma Zhenwu enjoyed the blessings of Qi in the rear when the front-line soldiers were fighting bloodily. In the face of the best army with the right time, place and people, how can such an army be undefeated?
