Chapter 29 Cannon Battle

On a starless night, the Liangshan unit was ordered to attack. The attack site was chosen on Jiaoyu Island. This small island is in the northeast direction of Dajinmen Island, and the straight-line distance from Jinmen is only more than 2,000 meters. This is the nearest island controlled by our side to Dajinmen.

Li Yunlong took some officers from the combat, intelligence, and reconnaissance departments to rush to Jiaoyu by boat. He wanted to say goodbye to his beloved special forces. He knew in his heart that these brave and fearless fighters were close to death. The officers and commandos who saw him off all looked solemn, with an atmosphere of Yi Shui's elegy. The Liangshan detachment was equipped with several speedboats equipped with silencers. The commandos are all equipped with diving equipment and small radio walkie-talkies. The weapons are the newly manufactured 56-2 submachine guns, which are imitations of the Soviet-made AK-47 automatic rifles. They are also shorter and lighter than the standard 56-type submachine guns. It was specially developed by the military industry department for special forces, and even the well-informed staff officers from the military headquarters were unfamiliar with this gun. Li Yunlong found that these brand-new guns with uniform specifications became strange in the hands of commandos. Some team members actually sawed off the already short guns and butts, leaving only the handle and trigger. In ordinary troops, such acts of destroying weapons would have to be court-martialed, but in the Liangshan detachment it was considered normal. Duan Peng thinks that his weapon can be modified as he likes. He also made a vulgar analogy, it is like his wife, who can sleep as she wants. Others can't control it.

The submachine guns and pistols of the team members are all equipped with mufflers, and the wearing methods of pistols and daggers are also very messy. The sleeve hangs around the neck. The training method of this small army pays great attention to each individual personality.

Duan Peng, the team leader, was wearing a black tight-fitting diving suit, wearing water goggles on his head, with two pedals resting on his shoulders one after the other. He was holding a cigarette in a relaxed manner, as if he was not on a dangerous mission, but on vacation. It's like going to the sea to fish for pearl oysters. He said to Li Yunlong: "Commander, we are about to set off. Do you have anything else to say?" He just waved his hand and said, "Bring the wine." The staff officers quickly poured Moutai into rows of large bowls. Li Yunlong held the bowl in both hands and said: "I see you off today. I just want to say that there is not a single coward in our Liangshan team. They are all men who are indomitable. I believe you will be loyal to your duties and perform your duties. Nine years ago, we had eight More than a thousand brothers landed on that island. They fought fiercely, wiped out tens of thousands of enemies, and finally shed blood on the battlefield. They are worthy of the title of soldiers. Over the years, how many times have I dreamed that I led troops to land on that island, but I have no chance. , I’m old, I probably won’t have this chance in the future, now, your chance has come, to be honest, I envy your luck, I can’t wait to exchange the position of army commander Obedience to orders is a bounden duty. We all bear different responsibilities, so we can only perform our own duties. Today, I will send you off with wine. I have only one request for you, that is, I want you to give me peace. Come back, I will serve you wine at the headquarters to celebrate." Li Yunlong drank the wine and smashed the bowl on the rock. The commandos drank the wine and smashed the wine bowls one after another.

Duan Peng stood at attention and saluted: "Commander, all the members of the Liangshan Squad bid farewell to you." Li Yunlong tried to restrain his emotions and said, "What else do you need to do at home? Just say it." This is before the Death Squad went to die. It seems that a sentence that the superior must ask has become a rule. Duan Peng smiled: "It's okay, if we really want to do something, we can handle it ourselves when we get back." He stood at attention and saluted for the last time, and then boarded the speedboat. Several silenced speedboats made a slight sound and gradually disappeared into the darkness...

Li Yunlong stood on the reef on the shore, staring at the place where the team members disappeared, and refused to leave for a long time, as if he had melted into one with the reef. At 17:30 on August 23, 1958, the Fujian Frontline Command of the People's Liberation Army issued an order for shelling. As a series of red signal bombs lifted off, the sound of the artillery tore through the quiet air. Hundreds of shells fell from different directions on the Kuomintang army's position on North Taiwu Mountain on Kinmen Island. The deadly metal bullets pierced the air and made a terrifying hissing sound, forming a cobweb-like orange trajectory over the strait. , Kinmen Island immediately fell into a sea of smoke and flames. In order to achieve the suddenness of shooting, all artillery groups did not conduct pre-test firing, but determined the shooting parameters with precise methods, and strived to make the army artillery groups located in Xiamen and Lianhe and the naval artillery groups located in Weitou. The first shells landed on their respective targets simultaneously.

August 23 was Saturday, at 17:00, the Kuomintang Army Kinmen Defense Command convened officers and soldiers to have a dinner while listening to the lectures of the Minister of National Defense, General Yu Dawei. General Yu didn't say much, but he just stated that he went to Kinmen this time at the order of President Jiang to express condolences to the Kuomintang soldiers guarding the Kinmen, Matsu, and Daerdan islands. Over the past few years, condolence groups from all walks of life in Taiwan have come to Kinmen to express their condolences. The officers and soldiers have long been accustomed to it. They are all realists. Dinner for the condolence group. Although there have been frequent artillery battles between Kinmen and the mainland in the past nine years, the artillery fire from the direction of the mainland in the past was not violent, and they were aware of it beforehand. The troops entered the tunnel early, but the Kuomintang military did not notice the sudden shelling. To a little wind. At 17:30, the banquet held in the pavilion in the lake center of Cuigu under Taiwu Mountain in the north of Kinmen was over. General Hu Lian, commander of the Kinmen Defense Command, and Lieutenant General Chu Yunfei, the newly transferred deputy commander, accompanied Defense Minister Yu Dawei to walk back to the headquarters along the Zhanghu Highway. The deputy commanders General Zhao Jiaju, General Zhang Jie, and the deputy commander of the Penghu Defense Department, General Ji Xingwen, who were full of food and drink, were picking their teeth with toothpicks and chatting on the stone bridge connecting Cuigu Lake to the shore of the lake. The three generals standing on the stone bridge at this time are not idle people.

Zhao Jiaxiang served as the chief of staff of the Kuomintang Army's Northeast Suppression General on the Northeast battlefield for a long time. Lin Biao, the commander of the Northeast Field Army, Liu Yalou, the chief of staff, and the commanders of the various columns under them, such as Ding Wei and Kong Jie, are all too familiar with the chief of staff of the suppression general. Since they led their troops out of the customs in 1945, they have become deadly enemies with this Zhao Jiaxiang. The two sides have been fighting between the white mountains and the black waters for nearly three years. Before the end of the Liaoshen Campaign, the Zhao family suddenly fled from Shenyang by plane. He has been brooding all the time, and he very much hopes to catch this old colleague and opponent. General Zhang Jie is a well-known figure in the Air Force of the Kuomintang Army. He graduated from the Central Military Academy and the Central Aviation Academy. He is a veteran of the Air Force. Among the three, General Ji Xingwen is the most famous. He came from the Northwest Army. During the July 7th Incident, Lugouqiao and Wanping City were the defense areas of the Jixing Wen Corps. After Wen Yan refused, the long-planned Japanese commando began to climb the city wall to attack the Chinese defenders. Ji Xingwen decisively ordered to open fire. Even he himself did not expect that the moment he pulled the trigger, he would already be recorded in the annals of history as a celebrity He became famous all over the country for a while and became an anti-Japanese hero. But his brilliance was very short-lived. He was unknown during the eight-year war of resistance. The reason was that he was not a descendant of Jiang. At the time of employing people, Chiang Kai-shek thought of his previous reputation and gave him a nominal post of deputy commander of the Penghu Defense Department.

At this time, none of the three generals expected that the god of death had spread its black wings... Ji Xingwen was a big smoker and liked to smoke Daqianmen and Sanbaotai before the Anti-Japanese War. In the late period of the Anti-Japanese War, as a large amount of supplies from the U.S. "Lend-Lease Act" were shipped to China, he began to have a soft spot for American Camel brand cigarettes, and he couldn't change his words ever since. At this time, Ji Xingwen, who was full of sleep, just took out Camel brand cigarettes and handed each of Zhao Jiaxiang and Zhang Jie one, and was lighting them with a lighter. Suddenly I heard a strange roar in the air, the sound passed over the North Taiwu Mountain, from far to near, the faces of the three battle-tested generals suddenly turned pale, as professional soldiers, of course they knew better than others This sound is the sound of a high-speed projectile piercing the air. Ji Xingwen's hand trembled, and the exquisite lighter fell into the Cuihu Lake. He shouted: "Not good!" He was about to lie down on the spot, but it was too late . In the explosion of Shan Yao, the whole Green Valley was filled with gunpowder smoke, and shrapnel flew across... A Soviet-made 152mm artillery shell from the Lianhe artillery group in the mainland was falling on the stone bridge, turning the three generals into a pink cloud. Fog, when the smoke cleared, the three generals and the stone bridge disappeared without a trace. Yu Dawei, Hu Lian, and Chu Yunfei, who were walking on the Zhanghu Highway at the foot of North Taiwu Mountain, were pushed down by the guards under the rocks on the side of the road when the first batch of shells landed. Hu Lang and Chu Yunfei, nicknamed butchers, were battle-hardened generals. The two sprang up from the ground almost at the same time, and rushed into the headquarters amidst the dense artillery fire. Commander Hu Lian's first move was to grab the phone and ask for the artillery commander. He was about to order the Jinmen artillery to counterattack, but he immediately dropped the microphone in a rage, because the wired communication network on the island was completely destroyed in the first round of shelling. Hundreds of shells from the naval artillery group located in Daluweitou passed over Shuangru Mountain and landed on the Liuluo Bay Wharf on the south side of Kinmen Island, as if they had eyes.

After the Kuomintang army's wired communication network was destroyed, it was forced to use radio communication. Commanders at all levels no longer cared about using secret language, and simply called in plain language. The listening stations and radios of the Lianhe headquarters on the mainland side were all turned on, and there were hoarse, noisy and disorderly calls from inside.

Li Yunlong sat on a chair, quietly smoking a cigarette, and some artillery staff officers and intelligence officers around him were engrossed in waiting for news from the Liangshan detachment. At 18 o'clock, the long-awaited call finally appeared: "... 10l, 23, 104 to the south, 14 to the east..." The artillery staff officers each used their phones to report a series of data that others could not understand to their respective artillery groups. . Li Yunlong didn't care about smoking anymore, he listened intently, let the cigarette burn between his fingers, and didn't throw it away until it burned his hands. He knew that the members of the Liangshan unit had already taken their positions and were using secret words to instruct the artillery groups to adjust their firing positions. 101 and 104 represented each artillery group, 23 to the south and 14 to the east indicated the density of each artillery group that needed to be adjusted.

The Kuomintang Army artillery positions on the island woke up from the panic only 20 minutes after being bombarded on a large scale. Some of the secret artillery positions hidden under the cliffs and in the rocks were activated, and heavy iron gates disguised as rocks They were all opened slowly, and a 155mm artillery made in the United States slid along the track towards the entrance of the tunnel. The artillery fire of the Kuomintang army began to counterattack in an all-round way, and the big duel between the artillery of the Kuomintang and the Communist Party began.

Lieutenant General Chu Yunfei, deputy commander of the Kinmen Defense Department, was in charge of artillery fire command. He braved the artillery fire to board the artillery observation post on the top of Shuangru Mountain, and used the artillery mirror to look towards the mainland. He had learned from intelligence that the commander of the enemy defense area opposite him was his old acquaintance Li Yunlong. Both of them fought desperately on the battlefield, and they almost died together. Chu Yunfei was shot twice in the chest. When his life was dying, he was carried off the battlefield by his adjutant and guards. He spent a year in the Army Hospital in Taipei. After he recovered from his injury, he never had the chance to return to the mainland, and the Kuomintang army had been defeated like a mountain.

Today, I haven't seen Li Yunlong for ten years. Unexpectedly, the two old friends are greeting each other with fierce artillery fire across the 10-kilometer wide strait. Chu Yunfei looked at the direction of the mainland with complicated emotions, and didn't say a word for a long time. There were several sharp whistling sounds, and Chu Yunfei swiftly moved away from the observation window. Following several loud noises, a shock wave carrying choking gunpowder smoke and sharp shrapnel passed through the observation window, and the artillery mirror was damaged by the shrapnel. It was shattered, and the shrapnel hit the stone wall and bounced back, making a sharp metal trill. Four or five officers and guards under Chu Yunfei died on the spot, and the observation station became a slaughterhouse, with blood splashed everywhere. A thought flashed through Chu Yunfei's mind. The artillerymen of the People's Liberation Army found this observation post. The few shells just now were test fires, and they will adjust their shooting immediately. If the second round of shells arrives, they will not be so lucky. He yelled: "All evacuated." Then he quickly rushed out of the artillery observation post...

…When he and his subordinates had just run less than 100 meters, the observation post was directly hit by a 152mm shell and flew into the air...

Back at the headquarters, Chu Yunfei was panting, and received a series of reports. The commanders of the artillery positions all reported that the artillery shells of the People's Liberation Army seemed to have eyes, and the landing point was extremely accurate. Some shells actually flew straight into the opponent's The artillery positions smashed the Kuomintang army with cannons. In less than half an hour, the Kuomintang army lost more than a dozen artillery pieces, and the other artillery positions were completely suppressed by the PLA artillery. It was often the Kuomintang army who fired one , Immediately attracted more than a dozen artillery shells from the People's Liberation Army. Chu Yunfei was not an idiot, he immediately understood that there was only one conclusion, and the scouts of the People's Liberation Army were lurking nearby. At the same time, Commander Hu Lian also received a report from the reconnaissance department that a large number of mysterious calls of unknown origin appeared on the radio. Hu Yao gasped when he heard it, and cold sweat ran down his spine into his ass. Unexpectedly, the reconnaissance unit of the People's Liberation Army sneaked into his heavily guarded island without knowing it, and there were quite a few of them. What a ghost, he furiously ordered that all the infantry units be dispatched to search the whole island, and announced the amount of reward for capturing the scouts of the People's Liberation Army.

On this day, the large-scale artillery battle lasted for 85 minutes. More than 30,000 shells fell on Kinmen Island, and the Kuomintang army suffered 600 to 700 casualties. At nightfall, each artillery group of the People's Liberation Army specially set up several artillery units on duty, commanded by the Liangshan detachment. As long as the data was reported, the artillery on duty immediately fired rapidly according to the pre-measured shooting parameters. , was immediately covered by firepower, and the infantry of one of the companies was devastated as soon as they got into the fortifications, and more than 100 people did not survive. The Liangshan detachment entered into a confrontation with the 80,000 defenders. Li Yunlong and his staff at the Lianhe headquarters heard from the walkie-talkie that the young men of the Liangshan unit scolded the street in plain language, "... mother bug, bring me some cigarettes, my cigarettes have stopped... "Little Xuanfeng, are you asleep? Why the hell is there no movement..." "Leopard head, what the hell are you arguing about? I'm at the headquarters of that old Hu Lian, thinking about whether to put explosives Throw the bag in..." Li Yunlong and the officers laughed, and these bold guys scolded wherever they went. At midnight, the infantry unit of the Kuomintang army rushed out of the fortifications regardless of the obstruction of artillery fire, and searched the whole island. According to reports from the People's Liberation Army observation post in Jiaoyu, there were intense gunshots from many places on the island, and several places were on fire. However, there was no sound on the walkie-talkie, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief, which meant that the Liangshan unit was safe and sound.

In the early morning of the 24th, the artillery battle began again, and soon it became one-sided again, and the artillery of the Kuomintang Army was suppressed.

The Liangshan detachment reported that half of the 17 ships moored at the Liuluowan Wharf on the south side of Kinmen Island had been hit by bullets, and they were fleeing to the open sea with more horsepower. Six torpedo boats of the People's Liberation Army Navy were ordered to attack under the cover of land artillery fire, and a naval battle broke out in the Kinmen Sea. The torpedo in the large transport ship Zhonghai was seriously injured, and the torpedo in the transport ship Taisheng with a displacement of 4,000 tons sank. A torpedo boat of the People's Liberation Army Navy was shot and sank. On this day, earning more and losing less, the People's Liberation Army pointed to cheers. On the 25th, the two sides continued the artillery battle. Eight enemy F-86 fighter jets flew to the waters east of Kinmen, and a brigade of MiG-17 fighter jets from our air force took off to fight. From an altitude of 10,000 meters to a low altitude of 1,800 meters, the ratio of the KMT and the Communist Party losing fighters was 2:1. The result of this day is still earning more and losing less. In the headquarters of the Kinmen Defense Department, Hu Lian and Chu Yunfei were calling a meeting of commanders at all levels. Major General Huang Zhixiong, commander of the infantry guarding the island, believes that the encirclement and suppression of the reconnaissance units of the People's Liberation Army that have sneaked into the island these days has been fruitless. But it n't help them. There are 80,000 defenders on the island, and the number of military units is complicated. The scouts of the People's Liberation Army are easy to fish in troubled waters.

officer collected information on the various infantry units participating in the encirclement and suppression campaign, and the true face of this small PLA unit began to be revealed. 1. Having received precision shooting training, judging from the corpses of the Kuomintang soldiers killed in the firefight, the shot was almost always on the head and between the eyebrows, and they were killed by one shot. According to the soldiers of the Kuomintang Army who participated in the battle, these soldiers of the People's Liberation Army were extremely seasoned in combat, and they only responded with single shots, absolutely flawless.

This style of play has at least two advantages. The first is to avoid exposing the muzzle flame of the muzzle when firing bursts, so as to achieve the purpose of concealing yourself. The second is to greatly save the consumption of ammunition. Based on this speculation, if a soldier of the People's Liberation Army carries 200 rounds of ammunition, if he fights like this, 200 soldiers of the Kuomintang Army will fall under his gun. Terrible. 2. Judging from the scene where some sentries and small groups of personnel were killed, these PLA soldiers were killers who were good at using cold weapons. The forensic doctor believed that the wounds on the corpses were caused by throwing knives within a certain distance, and the location of the knives was extremely accurate. Some pierced into the heart from between the two ribs of the left chest, and some pierced into the heart from the soft tissue under the swollen bone of the left shoulder on the back. According to the forensic inference, it was impossible for the victim to scream when he was stabbed. It seems that These killers are highly professionally trained. 3. They have all received professional climbing and cross-country training and field survival training, but they do not seem to intend to use their field survival skills. Instead, they continue to sneak attacks on the kitchens and logistics departments of the Kuomintang army, taking away a lot of food. 4. Both are proficient in artillery operations and are professional in directing and correcting artillery fire. Listening to the report, Chu Yunfei suddenly felt a movement in his heart. It was a long-lost memory. Although the years passed and so many people passed away, Kazuki Yamamoto's special forces suddenly appeared in his mind, and the fog in his heart miraculously dissipated. , he shouted: "This is not an ordinary reconnaissance unit, but an out-and-out special forces unit. Damn, after so many years, Li Yunlong still hasn't forgotten..."

Hu Lian was furious. He believed that the intelligence agencies were idiots. Not only had the special forces of the People's Liberation Army been formed quietly, but they had also easily landed on the heavily defended island. He, the commander, hadn't heard anything in advance. Son of wind, what is the intelligence department if it is not a rice bucket? The problem now is how to deal with these special forces who slip like loaches. They seem to be a bit unscrupulous because of the powerful artillery support behind them. The large troops of the Kuomintang army are blocked in the tunnel, and they will be subject to intensive artillery fire as soon as they show up. Killing, Ren Hulian has 80,000 elite soldiers under his command, and he can't do anything to this special force of the People's Liberation Army for a while. Hu Lian looked at the generals and officers who surrounded him, and said helplessly: "Could it be that we can't do anything about this small group of enemy troops?" Chu Yunfei sneered: "How can there be no way? Leave this matter to me It's over..." Hu Lian interrupted him: "Slow down, let's talk inside..."

Li Yunlong’s Combat Diary, September 2, 1958 According to intelligence, two airports with concrete runways have been built in the areas on the north side of Taiwu Mountain and Shuangru Mountain on the south side of Kinmen Island where the mainland cannot be seen. The length of both is more than 1,500 meters. Take off and land large transport planes and fighter jets. One is Xicun Airport, built in 1954; the other is Sha Tau Airport, built in 1955. In this area, since our artillery can't observe visually, the enemy's airlift planes generally choose to take off and land at dawn, dusk or night when the weather is poor and the visibility is poor, so it is difficult to grasp the timing of bombardment. After our Liangshan detachment landed, we established anti-air observation posts on Shuangru Mountain and North Taiwu Mountain, and assisted the artillery to measure the shooting range. When the enemy plane appeared, we did not shoot. When it entered the runway and was about to land, our artillery group immediately launched a surprise attack on the runway according to the shooting elements prepared in advance. From August 25th to September 2nd, four enemy transport planes were destroyed by us when they were trying to land. According to reports from the Liangshan detachment, the runways at Xicun and Shatou Airports were unusable due to too many bombs. The transport planes from Taiwan It is no longer possible to land in Kinmen, and the airborne transportation has been forced to be suspended.

In this campaign, the Liangshan team contributed a lot. On September 6, 1958, it became increasingly difficult for the enemy forces in Kinmen to supply supplies. When both sea and air transportation were blocked, airdrops were used as the main means of supply. But dropping supplies from the air to Kinmen is no easy task. Little Kinmen is only 10 square kilometers, and the airdrop field is extremely small. Although the area of Dajinmen is relatively large, it is dumbbell-shaped, with a width of less than 4,000 meters in the middle. Because our army's antiaircraft artillery formed a blocking fire net over Jinmen, enemy planes did not dare to fly low, and some of the materials thrown from high altitude fell into the sea and were thrown into the island. Under the dispatch of our Liangshan detachment, most of the supplies were destroyed by our artillery fire. According to the calculations of the intelligence department, the supplies delivered to Kinmen by airdrops every day are only equivalent to 5.5% of the supplies under normal conditions in the past. The enemy can only Hide in tunnels and live off reserves. According to reports from the Liangshan detachment, the enemy commander regards our Liangshan detachment as a thorn in his side, and he must get rid of it quickly. Every night after nightfall, a small group of enemy infantry broke through the artillery fire and fought fiercely with our Liangshan detachment. So far, our army has not suffered any casualties .

September 14, 1958 was overcast. The participating artillery units of the Chinese Artillery Corps carry out all-round bombardment activities. Except when important targets are discovered, large-scale shelling is concentrated, and sporadic shelling is transferred to sporadic shelling at ordinary times, 24 hours a day, day and night. Especially within three nautical miles of Liuluowan Wharf. Make the enemy panic day and night to enhance the effect of a total blockade. It is reported that ground activities on the enemy island have basically come to a standstill. In the early morning of the 13th, the enemy used the transport ship USS to carry out smuggling, and was discovered by my observation post on the North Taiwu Mountain when it was approaching the Liuluowan Wharf. After being shot and caught fire, he fled back, and the supply failed again.

September 18, 1958 was sunny. On the 16th, the enemy used a large transport ship outside the range of our artillery fire in the south of Kinmen, and loaded goods with American-made LVT crawler-type amphibious transport vehicles from the ship to the ship, and directly rushed to the beach to unload them. After launching, the 17 amphibious transport vehicles were divided into waves. Liu Luo Wan grabs the beach. Under the dispatch of the observation post of our Liangshan detachment, our artillery group formed a covering fire net, and concentrated fire on the inside of Liuluo Bay and within three nautical miles. Nine vehicles were hit immediately, and the rest fled back to the range of the artillery fire. According to reports, The Liuluowan Wharf and its facilities were shot heavily and severely damaged. "Hey! Lao Li, I'm Ding Wei. You're having a lot of fun over there. I'm so fucking hungry. Our old Ding's life is bad, and good things never happen to me. I'm free here. It's terrible, besides training is learning. Say hello to my sister-in-law for me, and... how is your father-in-law? This old man is not simple. Don't look like a scholar. He has a strategic vision. Listening to what you say is better than studying for ten years Ah, I was a little enlightened when he dialed it. What? The old man has become a rightist? Playing the piano, why the fuck are rightists everywhere? I don’t read newspapers very much. I quit the army when the rectification movement was the most lively last year , I don’t know much about the local affairs. How could this happen? I can’t believe that so many rightists and counter-revolutionaries popped up all of a sudden. Forget it, forget it, let’s not talk, I’m upset, I have to think about it, I’ll hang up... ..." Li Yunlong hung up the phone and sat quietly for a while, he was also upset, the house was in a mess recently, nothing went well. The wife seems to have made up her mind that she will be separated from her for a long time, and there is nothing superfluous except what is necessary. Li Yunlong knows that Tian Yu's life is not easy. Since her parents were classified as extreme rightists, the political and industrial department of her unit has talked to her several times. It is nothing more than asking her to treat the anti-rightist movement correctly and to be in harmony with her own. For parents to draw a clear line, it is best to write a written statement such as a statement to express their position and sever ties with their parents. Tian Yu was noncommittal, but Li Yunlong became angry when he heard about it, why the hell draw a line? How to row? If you don't recognize them as parents, where do you come from? Did it pop out of a rock? He hated these leftist political workers from the bottom of his heart.

When the Hubei-Yuan-Anhui base area killed the AB regiment, he watched many of his old superiors and comrades-in-arms be executed inexplicably. If they were said to be enemies, he would not believe them even if they were killed. At that time, the special commissioners sent by the Security Bureau to the various units to supervise the anti-revolutionaries were simply too high-ranking, with the power of life and death in their hands, and they could kill people with a single word. Li Yunlong hated these people. In one battle, Li Yunlong organized a death squad and appointed a special commissioner from the Security Bureau as the captain. At that time, the special commissioner who had never fought a war turned pale with fright. Li Yunlong pulled out his pistol and pointed it at him without saying a word, telling The special commissioner, either led the death squad to charge, or counted him as shrinking, and executed the battlefield discipline.

"Aren't you determined to be revolutionary? Well, you have to prove it to the soldiers. Now I don't have time to listen to your nonsense. Let me go." The special commissioner gritted his teeth and rushed up with the death squad. Strange to say, he was the first Killed by bullets.

This move made the person in charge of the Security Bureau very angry. If the central government had not corrected the spreading trend due to the expansion of the suppression of counter-revolutionaries, Li Yunlong's head might have been chopped off. "Don't bother with them, tell them to figure it out. If it doesn't work, just resign and go home. I, Li Yunlong, can afford a wife and children." Li Yunlong said to Tian Yu. Intimidated by Li Yunlong's position, the political workers of the intelligence department of the military region did not embarrass Tian Yu too much.

In view of the completion of the complete blockade of Kinmen Island, Li Yunlong has issued a retreat order to the Liangshan detachment in code words. After the order was issued, he refused to leave in the war room. Tonight is the key. If the Liangshan unit can withdraw smoothly, it will be a success. At one o'clock in the morning, the observation post on Jiaoyu Island reported that fierce fighting broke out suddenly on the island's north Taiwu Mountain, Shuangru Mountain and several places in the northeast. The dense gunfire was also mixed with the sound of explosions. At the same time, gunshots and yelling came from the intercom that was silent just now in the war room of the headquarters, and one or two faint muffled sounds could be heard from time to time. The sound of a submachine gun returning a single shot. Li Yunlong was woken up by the staff officer on duty. He jumped up, jumped in front of the microphone, grabbed the microphone and asked loudly: "It's raining in time, it's raining in time, is the gate open? How much is the water flow?" Duan Peng's voice was intermittent, as if he was running or Rolling: "No. 1, No. 1, the gate has been opened, the water flow 54... 12 is entangled by snakes, 42 is going to fight the fire, there is a deep ditch in front... No. 4 sand table, rain, rain..." Li Yunlong's heart sank, What he was most worried about happened. Duan Peng's code word was: "Commander, the retreat order has been issued, 54 people have evacuated safely, and 12 people were surrounded by the enemy. We went to rescue 42 people, but there are too many enemies. In the past, please bombard the 4th area. Boom 1 Boom"! The artillery group began to focus their fire, and the dark night sky was instantly covered with dark red trails of shells. Li Yunlong wiped off a cold sweat, and called Duan Peng's code name, his voice was full of sternness: "0l, 01, 42 Liushui, 42 Liushui, no firefighting, no firefighting..." Duan Peng didn't answer anything, and there was only a gun in the intercom. Sounds and explosions, but no answer.

Li Yunlong threw away the microphone angrily. He knew too well that the enemy's siege was planned for a long time. With Duan Peng leading more than 40 people, there is no way to rescue those 12 people. You can only give up the 12 people who were surrounded, and withdraw one more. But now Duan Peng didn't answer, clearly refusing to carry out the order. He wanted to open a gap desperately to rescue the besieged comrades. As the commander of a special force, he was obviously acting on his own will, which is really a big taboo .

Little Whirlwind Silu crouched under a huge rock, and while calling into the microphone, he used a single shot to prevent the enemy's skirmishers from leaping forward alternately under cover. The firepower of the enemy's machine guns and submachine guns swept over like a whirlwind, hitting the rocks and splashing sparks, and several mortar shells fell on the rocks with a sharp whistling sound, boom! boom! The ground exploded, and the gravel fell like raindrops, almost burying the small whirlwind. The surrounded soldiers of the Liangshan unit, each relying on the favorable terrain, responded to the enemy with single shots in a leisurely manner. The soldiers are indeed extraordinary in their shots. Their sparse single shots can't form a fire net at all, but an enemy soldier in a reinforced battalion is nailed to the ground and behind rocks by such sparse firepower. bullet. The enemy commander was very annoyed, because less than half an hour after receiving the fire, fifty or sixty enemy soldiers had already been killed, and the PLA commandos were extremely tricky in hiding. No fuss. The little whirlwind kept calling for artillery fire: "14 to the south, I'm at the corner of sand table 4A, and set up a wall of fire around me..." Dozens of 152 caliber rounds flew from the direction of the mainland The howitzer shells exploded into a wall of fire around the small highland held by Xiaoxuanfeng. A reinforced battalion of the Kuomintang army was blown to pieces, and the stumps and broken arms were thrown more than ten meters high. Si Lu laughed loudly under the gunfire: "Well done, have fun... Let's do another round... Let's get closer and extend another 20 meters..." Hua monk Luo Yuchun dragged a broken leg to crawl. Come over and report to Silu: "Hey! Senior officials, we are running out of ammunition. I counted, and each person has less than 20 rounds. In addition, there are only four uninjured ones including you, brother. We discussed it, and decided to let the four of you who were not injured break through first, and each of us took out ten bullets for you, anyway, we can't leave, so we will cover you..." Si Lu was furious: "Fart, you guys What's the point of discussing? Now I have the final say here, what's the matter? What are you squinting at me for? Tell you, I am the leader of this combat team, and it's your turn to discuss it?" Luo Yuchun was scolded face to face, and he did not He didn't buy it, and cursed back unceremoniously: "I know you are in charge, and no one is fighting for power with you, aren't you a major? Not a major general, why are you so loud? See if you can do it? Okay, can’t you? The four of you who are not injured can carry our eight injured ones to break through, and let each of you carry two, and I won’t fight anymore, just watch the western scenery on your backs.” Si Lu Sneered and said: "I don't have the ability to carry you to break through, but I have the ability to stay with you. There are twelve people in our group, and we have to live together." We are going to die together..." Tong Ming, nicknamed Jade Arm Craftsman, raised his gun, and there were two muffled puffs, and two enemy soldiers 50 meters away fell on their backs. Tong Ming struggled to pull out the last magazine and loaded it. Pulling the bolt to load the bullet, he was shot in the abdomen, and the blood kept oozing through the bandage. He challenged Silu's authority in a weak voice: "Some people are bad team leaders... Just, just... I don't know what the hell, I don't like to be accompanied by others... Aren't you just... Little Xuanfeng? It's boring...if Yizhangqing is with you...it's about the same, isn't it? Flower monk? Monk Hua interjected: "That's right, if it's a woman, it's almost the same, go, go, you go... . . . "Si Lu was about to retort, when a voice amplified by a loudspeaker came: "combat commandos, communist commandos, I am Chu Yunfei, deputy commander of the defense department of this island, please stop shooting, Chu have something to say. First of all, I would like to express my sincere admiration for your brave and tenacious fighting spirit and superb individual combat quality. I admit that your special operations have caused heavy casualties to the defenders of the island. As far as military operations are concerned, your commandos have indeed achieved great success. Now what I want to say is that as soldiers, you have done your job well, you have done your duty, and it is time to consider laying down your arms and exiting the battle with dignity. You are running out of ammunition. Most of you You have already been wounded, and you are unable to break out of the encirclement. Besides, it is meaningless to resist like this. Brothers, we are all Chinese soldiers, and this is not a battlefield to resist foreign invaders. Putting down your weapons will not damage the integrity of the soldiers. Everyone is Yan Huang Children and grandchildren, although you have different ideological views, Chu does not want to force you to change your views. I just want to say, please cherish your life. In the name of Lieutenant General and Deputy Commander-in-Chief of the Island’s Defense Department, I assure you that as long as you stop resisting, you will be treated fairly and decently, and your dignity will not be violated in any way..." Si Lu visually checked the distance in the direction of the caller, facing The microphone called the gunfire: "East 28, East 28, corner 4B of the sand table, let's rain, let's rain..." Aren't you just... the little whirlwind? It's boring...if Yizhangqing is with you...it's about the same, isn't it? Flower monk?

Dozens of large-caliber artillery shells from the Lianhe artillery group made a piercing whistling sound, falling from far and near around the shelter where Chu Yunfei was hiding and exploded. Several horns were blown to pieces. Chu Yunfei threw away the microphone, sighed and said: "It seems that they are in a desperate situation, and they don't even bother to answer, so they just answer with shells and attack immediately." The enemy's light and heavy machine guns and mortars began to gather again. The soldiers hiding behind the rocks alternately cover and leap forward... Suddenly, the plain language call from Xiao Xuanfeng Silu came from the intercom of Li Yunlong's headquarters: "01, 01, leave us alone, don't talk to us. Get closer, the enemy is waiting with open nets. You retreat quickly, you retreat quickly." "No. 1, No. 1, I am Little Whirlwind, I am Little Whirlwind, and now I will report our situation to you. We learned from the interrogation of the prisoners, The Kinmen Defense Department recently transferred a new deputy commander named Chu Yunfei, who planned this operation. The specific implementation method is that during the interval of my shelling, the infantry detachments will break up into pieces and leave the tunnel in batches, and then enter the lurking position. I am mainly responsible for this incident. I did not discover that the enemy had secretly assembled, causing the first combat group to be surrounded. However, we did not take advantage of the enemy. Now the enemy's corpses are placed in a circle around us, number 1, and now our ammunition It's all used up. It's time to say goodbye. On behalf of my comrades, I bid farewell to the chief and comrades. Please artillery fire on area 4. Please cover area 4. Hurry up, fire, fire..." Enemy The commander couldn't help beaming with joy when he heard Si Lu's call from the intercom. It seemed that this small communist army was really at the end of its rope, and they might be able to catch a few alive if they rushed up. The enemy soldiers straightened up from behind the rocks, shouting and swarming up. Silu removed the muffler from the muzzle, checked the clip, there were still eight rounds of bullets, He took out the last miniature grenade and said: "Brothers, take off the muffler and give him a final blow with a burst of fire, and have a good time before leaving." When the enemy's skirmishers approached the position, they were violently strafed , the twelve submachine guns fired long bursts respectively. This was an unprecedented shooting performance. Each gun fired the only few bullets at a high level. department. Si Lu laughed loudly: "You played well. They are all at the level of a shooting coach. Come on, brothers, get closer to me. It's time for us to go on the road." Chu Yunfei saw with a telescope in the cover, on the small high ground guarded by PLA commandos, There was a dazzling flash of fire, followed by a thunderous explosion, and then everything fell silent... In Li Yunlong's headquarters, Li Yunlong sat down weakly, waved heavily to the artillery staff officer in charge of communication and said: "Order the artillery Fired at Area 4. "The Lianhe artillery group made an earth-shaking roar, and Area 4 was instantly submerged in a sea of flames...

The Liangshan detachment made great contributions in this operation, and the Central Military Commission also issued a commendation order. Duan Peng and Lin Han each received a first-class merit, and at the same time each received a major demerit punishment. The reason is that they refused the order to retreat after Xiao Xuanfeng and other 12 people fell into a tight siege, and insisted on opening a gap in the encirclement. When the rescue operation failed, the team leader Duan Peng and political commissar Lin Han decided to retaliate without authorization. A regiment headquarters, all officers of the regiment headquarters were killed. In this raid, three more members of the Liangshan unit were killed. At the battle summary meeting, both Duan Peng and Lin Han made self-criticisms, and both admitted that they made mistakes in command and were impulsive. First, when the enemy came out of the tunnel in batches, they didn't realize it, so they were ambushed, resulting in the sacrifice of 12 comrades in arms. Second, he refused to execute the order and carried out a raid without authorization in retaliation, resulting in the sacrifice of three comrades in arms. Both of them believed that the punishment was unjust. Li Yunlong was very irritable at the meeting. He slapped the table and cursed angrily: "You two are just for nothing? The damage has already been done. Why are you criticizing the fuck? The soldiers of the Liangshan team are all one in a thousand. , are all treasures, even if you give them to a teacher, you two bastards, you lost 15 people in one fell swoop, mother, you pay me."

As Li Yunlong spoke, his eye circles were red, and he trembled with distress when thinking of the 15 team members who died in battle. In January 1959, the four-month artillery battle ended, but the symbolic artillery battle continued. The shells of both sides hit no man's land, and the radio stations of both sides issued warnings before firing, so that the other side could hide Well, so as not to cause unnecessary casualties, this peculiar and symbolic artillery battle has continued for more than 20 years since then.
