On a starless night, the Liangshan team was ordered to attack. The location of the attack was on Jiao Yu Island, which was northeast of the Golden Gate Island. It was only two thousand meters away from the Golden Gate in a straight line. This was the island closest to the Golden Gate controlled by our side.
Li Yunlong brought some officers from the combat, intelligence, and reconnaissance departments to Jiao Island by boat. He wanted to say goodbye to his beloved special forces. He knew that these brave and fearless warriors would die in this battle. The officers and commandos who sent them off all looked solemn, and the atmosphere was like Yi Shui's elegy. The Liangshan team was equipped with several speedboats equipped with silencers. The commandos were all equipped with diving equipment and small walkie-talkies. Their weapons were the newly manufactured Type 56-2 submachine guns. This was a replica of the Soviet-made AK-47 automatic rifle. It was shorter and lighter than the standard Type 56 submachine guns. It was specially developed by the military department for special forces. Even the knowledgeable staff officers from the military command were unfamiliar with this kind of gun. Li Yunlong found that these uniform, brand-new guns became strange in the hands of the commandos. Some of the commandos even sawed off the short guns, leaving only the handle and trigger. If it was an ordinary unit, this kind of destruction of weapons would be court-martialed, but in the Liangshan unit, it was considered normal. Duan Peng thought that his weapon could be modified however he wanted. He even made a vulgar analogy. This was like his wife, sleeping however he wanted. It was none of his business.
The submachine guns and pistols of the team members were equipped with silencers, and the way they carried their pistols and daggers was also very messy. Some were hung under their armpits, some were tied to their calves, some were hung on their waists, and some simply hung their leather holsters around their necks. The training method of this small troop paid great attention to each person's personality.
The team leader, Duan Peng, was wearing a black tight-fitting diving suit and a pair of water goggles on his head. He had two feet on his shoulders, one in front of the other. He was smoking a cigarette with a relaxed expression, as if he was not on a dangerous mission, but was fishing for pearl shells in the sea during his vacation. He said to Li Yunlong,"Commander, we're leaving. Do you have anything to say?"?”Li Yun Long felt like his throat was blocked. He seemed to have a lot to say to his soldiers, but he didn't know what to say for a moment. He just waved his hand and said,""Bring the wine." The staff officers quickly poured the liquor into rows of large bowls. Li Yunlong held the bowl with both hands and said," Today, I will send everyone off. I just want to say that there is no coward in our Liangshan team. We are all men of indomitable spirit. I believe that you will be loyal to your duties and fulfill your duties." Nine years ago, more than eight thousand of our brothers landed on that island. After several fierce battles, they wiped out tens of thousands of enemies. In the end, their blood spilled on the battlefield. All these years, I've dreamed of leading my troops to that island many times, but I never had the chance. I'm old, and I probably won't have the chance in the future. Now, your chance has come. To be honest, I envy your luck. I wish I could exchange my position as commander for yours. However, as soldiers, it is our duty to obey orders. We all bear different responsibilities, so we can only do our jobs. Today, I'll send you off with wine. I only have one request for you. I want all of you to come back safely. I'll hold a banquet for you in the headquarters to celebrate.”Li Yunlong finished the wine in one gulp and smashed the bowl on the reef. The commandos finished their drinks and smashed their bowls.
Duan Peng saluted." Commander, all the members of the Liangshan unit bid you farewell."”Li Yunlong tried his best to control his emotions and said,""What else do you have to do at home? Just say it." This was a question that the higher-ups would ask before the death squads went to their deaths. It seemed to have become a rule. Duan Peng smiled." It's fine. If there's really something, wait for us to come back and do it ourselves."”He saluted for the last time and boarded the speedboat. The few silenced speedboats let out a soft sound and gradually disappeared into the darkness…
Li Yun Long stood on the reef by the shore, staring at the place where his team members had disappeared. He refused to leave for a long time, as if he had become one with the reef. At 17:30 on August 23, 1958, the Fujian frontline command of the People's Liberation Army issued an order to fire. As a series of red signal flares rose into the air, the sound of the artillery tore through the quiet air. The first round of hundreds of shells fell from different directions on the positions of the Kuomingtang army on Mount Taiwu on Jinmen Island. The metal bullets with the smell of death cut through the air and made a terrifying hissing sound. They formed a dense orange trajectory like a spider web over the straits. Golden Gate Island was immediately engulfed in smoke and flames. In order to achieve the surprise of the fire, all the artillery groups did not carry out pre-test firing, but determined the firing elements by precise methods, striving to make the first batch of shells of the Army artillery group located in Xiamen and Lianhe and the naval shore artillery group located in Weitou hit their respective targets at the same time.
August 23rd was a Saturday. At 17:00 p. m., the Golden Gate Defense Command of the Kuomingtang Army summoned officers and soldiers to have a meal and listen to the lecture of General Yu Dawei, the Minister of Defense. General Yu did not say much, but he stated that he was going to Jinmen on the orders of President Jiang to express his condolences to the soldiers of the Kuomingtang army guarding the islands of Jinmen, Matsu, and Da 'ertan. In the past few years, consolation groups from all walks of life in Taiwan had come to Kinmen to express their condolences. The officers and soldiers had long been accustomed to it. They were all realists. What they cared about was not empty words, but the various consolation items brought by the consolation group and the dinner set up to welcome the consolation group. Although there had been frequent artillery battles between Kinmen and the mainland in the past nine years, the artillery fire from the mainland was not fierce in the past. Moreover, it was detected in advance, and the troops had entered the tunnel early. However, the sudden artillery fire this time did not smell any wind in advance. At 17:30, the banquet at the pavilion in the middle of the lake at the foot of Mount Taiwu in the north of Jinmen had ended. General Hu Lian, the commander of the Golden Gate Defense Command, and Lieutenant General Chu Yunfei, the newly transferred deputy commander, accompanied Defense Minister Yu Dawei on a walk along the Zhanghu Road back to the headquarters. The deputy commanders, General Zhao Jiazu and General Zhang Jie, and the deputy commander of Penghu's defense department, General Ji Xingwen, were chatting on the stone bridge connecting Cuigu Lake and the lakeshore while picking their teeth with toothpicks. The three generals standing on the stone bridge were not ordinary people.
Back then, Zhao Jiaxiang was the Chief of Staff of the Northeast Suppression Division of the Guomindang Army. The Northeast Field Army Commander, General Liu Yalou, and the commanders of their columns, such as Ding Wei and Kong Jie, were all too familiar with this Chief of Staff. Ever since they led their troops out of seclusion in 1945, they had become sworn enemies with Zhao Jiaxiang. The two sides had been at loggerheads for nearly three years. Before the end of the Liaoshen Battle, the Zhao family suddenly escaped by plane from Shenyang. It was said that Liu Yalou, the chief of staff of Dongye, had been brooding over this. He hoped to capture this old colleague and old rival. General Zhang Jie was a famous figure in the air force of the Guomindang Army. He graduated from the Central Military Academy and the Central Air School. He was a veteran of the air force and was once the deputy chief of staff of the Guomindang Army's air force. At this time, he was the deputy commander of Kinmen's air communications. Among the three men, General Ji Xingwen was the most famous. He was from the Northwest Army. During the July 7 Incident, Lugouqiao and Wanping City were the defense areas of the Ji Xingwen Regiment. When the Japanese army tried to enter Wanping City to search under the excuse of finding missing soldiers, they were sternly rejected by Ji Xingwen. The long-planned Japanese commandos began to climb the city wall and prepared to attack the Chinese garrison. Ji Xingwen decisively ordered to open fire. Even he himself did not expect that the moment he pulled the trigger, he would be recorded in history as a celebrity. He became famous throughout the country and became a hero of the war against Japan. However, his glory was short-lived. He was unknown during the eight years of the war because he was not a direct descendant of Jiang. Until the withdrawal of the Kuomingtang army from the mainland in 1949, Ji Xingwen was only the commander of the 37th Division of the broken miscellaneous troops. When he arrived in Taiwan, he was in need of manpower. Jiang then gave him a nominal position as the deputy commander of the Penghu Defense Department.
At this moment, none of the three generals had expected that the Grim Reaper had already spread his black wings…Ji Xingwen was a heavy addict, and he liked to smoke Da Qianmen and San Bao before the war. In the later stages of the war, with the large quantities of supplies from the Lend-lease Act being shipped to China, he began to have a special liking for American Camel cigarettes. From then on, he could not change his mind. At this moment, Ji Xingwen, who had just taken out a Camel brand cigarette and handed it to Zhao Jiaxiang and Zhang Jie, was lighting it up with a lighter. Suddenly, they heard a strange roar in the air. The sound swept across North Taiwu Mountain and approached from afar. The faces of the three generals who had been through the battlefield suddenly turned pale. As professional soldiers, they knew better than others that this sound was the sound of high-speed bullets cutting through the air. Ji Xingwen's hand trembled, and the exquisite lighter fell into Lake Cui. He shouted,""Not good!" Just as they were about to lie down, it was too late. The first batch of shells had already landed on Lake Cui. In the earth-shaking explosion, the entire valley was filled with smoke and shrapnel... A 152mm shell from the Lianhe Cannon Group landed on the stone bridge, turning the three generals into a pink fog. When the smoke dispersed, the three generals and the stone bridge were gone. Yu Dawei, Hu Lian, and Chu Yunfei, who were taking a walk on the Zhanghu Road at the foot of North Taiwu Mountain, were pressed down by the guards under the rocks by the roadside when the first batch of shells landed. Hu Lang, nicknamed Butcher, and Chu Yunfei were both experienced generals. The two of them jumped up from the ground almost at the same time and rushed into the command center under the dense artillery fire. Commander Hu Lian's first action was to grab the phone and ask for the artillery commander. He was about to order the Golden Gate Artillery to launch a full-scale counterattack, but he immediately threw the microphone in anger because the island's cable communication network was completely destroyed in the first round of bombardment. Hundreds of artillery shells from the naval shore artillery group at the head of the mainland seemed to have eyes. They flew over Shuangru Mountain and landed on the dock of Liaoluo Bay on the south side of Jinmen Island. The transport ship of the Kuomingtang army was immediately shot and caught fire.
After the cable communication network was destroyed, the Kuomingtang army was forced to use radio communication. Commanders at all levels no longer cared about using secret language and simply called out in plain language. The listening station and radio walkie-talkies of the Lianhe command center on the mainland were all turned on, and there were shouts and shouts coming from inside.
Li Yunlong sat in a chair, smoking quietly. Some artillery staff officers and intelligence officers around him were waiting for news from the Liangshan unit. At 18 o'clock, the long-awaited call finally appeared."... 10L, 23 to the south, 104 to the east, 14 to the east..." The artillery staff officers each used the phone to report a series of data that others could not understand to the artillery group they were responsible for. Li Yunlong couldn't care less about smoking. He listened attentively, letting the cigarette burn between his fingers. He didn't throw it away until his hands were scalded. He knew that the members of the Liangshan team were already in position and were instructing the cannon groups to adjust their firing elements. 101 and 104 represented the various cannon groups, while 23 to the south and 14 to the east referred to the density of the cannon groups that needed to be adjusted.
Twenty minutes after the massive bombardment, the artillery on the island finally woke up from the panic. Some of the secret artillery positions hidden under the cliffs and rocks were activated. The heavy iron doors disguised as rocks slowly opened. The 155mm cannons slid along the rails to the tunnel entrance. The barrels extended out of the tunnel entrance. When the shells were fired, they flashed with dazzling white light and made a thunderous sound. The artillery fire of the Guomindang army began to counterattack, and the big duel between the Guomindang and the Chinese artillery began.
Lieutenant General Chu Yunfei, the deputy commander of the Golden Gate Defense Department, was in charge of artillery fire. He braved the artillery fire and climbed to the artillery observation post on the top of Shuangmu Mountain. He used the artillery mirror to look in the direction of the mainland. He had long learned from the intelligence that the commander of the enemy's defense zone was his old acquaintance, Li Yunlong. In the Huaihai battlefield, the two of them fought desperately and almost died together. Chu Yunfei was shot twice in the chest. When his life was in danger, he was carried off the battlefield by the adjutant and guards. He recuperated in the army hospital in Taibei for a year. After his injuries healed, he no longer had the chance to return to the mainland. The Kuomingtang army had already been defeated.
Now, he had not seen Li Yunlong for ten years. He did not expect the two old friends to greet each other with fierce artillery fire across the 10-kilometer wide straits. Chu Yunfei looked in the direction of the continent with mixed feelings and did not say a word for a long time. A few sharp and strange howls came, and Chu Yunfei agilely dodged the observation window. With a few loud sounds, a shock wave carrying choking smoke and sharp shrapnel passed through the observation window. The cannon mirror was shattered by the shrapnel, and the shrapnel hit the stone wall and bounced back, making a sharp metal sound. Four or five of Chu Yunfei's officers and guards died on the spot. The observation center became a slaughterhouse, and blood was splattered everywhere. A thought suddenly flashed through Chu Yunfei's mind. The artillery of the People's Liberation Army had discovered this observation post. The few rounds just now were a test shot, and they would immediately adjust the shooting elements. If the second round of shells arrived, they would not be so lucky. He shouted,"Everyone, retreat." Then, he quickly dashed out of the artillery observation post…
When he and his men had just run less than 100 meters, the observation post was hit by a 152mm shell and flew into the air.
Chu Yunfei, who had returned to the command post, was still panting. He received a series of reports. The commanders of the artillery positions reported that the shells of the People's Liberation Army seemed to have eyes and were extremely accurate. Some shells actually flew straight into the enemy's artillery positions, blowing up the Guomindang soldiers and artillery. In less than half an hour, the Guomindang army lost more than a dozen cannons. The other artillery positions were also completely suppressed by the People's Liberation Army artillery. Usually, when the Guomindang fired a shot, it immediately attracted more than a dozen shells from the People's Liberation Army. Chu Yunfei was not a fool. He immediately understood. There was only one conclusion. 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. A large number of mysterious calls of unknown origin appeared on the radio walkie-talkie. Hu Yao gasped when she heard this. Cold sweat ran down her spine and into her buttocks. This news was no small matter. She had repeatedly patted her chest in front of President Jiang and the Taiwan news media to guarantee that the defense of Kinmen was impregnable. Unexpectedly, the reconnaissance team of the People's Liberation Army had sneaked into his heavily guarded island, and there were quite a number of them. He was really seeing ghosts. He ordered in anger, and all the infantry units were dispatched to search the entire island. He also announced the 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 Jinmen Island, and the casualties of the National Army reached 600 to 700. At night, each artillery group of the People's Liberation Army set up a number of artillery on duty, commanded by the Liangshan team. As long as the data was reported, the artillery on duty immediately fired rapidly according to the pre-measured shooting elements. When the infantry of the Kuomingtang army rushed out of the tunnel, they were immediately covered by fire. One of the infantry had just entered the fortifications and suffered a devastating blow. More than 100 people were killed. The Liangshan team and the 80,000-strong garrison entered a stalemate. Li Yunlong and the staff officers in the Lianhe command center heard the young men from the Liangshan unit cursing in plain language through the walkie-talkie."... Mother bug, bring me some cigarettes. My cigarettes are out..." Why is there no f * cking movement…Leopard Head, what are you f * cking arguing about? " I'm at the gate of Hu Lian's command center. I'm thinking about whether to throw the explosives inside..." Li Yunlong and the other military officers laughed. These audacious guys cursed wherever they went. In the middle of the night, the infantry unit of the Guomindang army rushed out of the fortifications and searched the entire island, ignoring the barrage of artillery fire. According to the report of the People's Liberation Army observation post on Jiao Yu, there were many gunshots on the island, and several places were even on fire. There was no sound from the walkie-talkie, and everyone heaved a sigh of relief. This meant that the Liangshan team was safe and sound.
In the early morning of the 24th, the artillery battle began again, and soon it became a one-sided situation. The artillery of the Kuomingtang army was suppressed.
The Liangshan team reported that half of the 17 ships anchored at the Liaoluo Bay dock on the south side of Jinmen Island had been shot and were increasing their horsepower to escape to the open sea. The six Torpedo Boats of the People's Liberation Army Navy were ordered to attack under the cover of the fire of the land artillery. A naval battle broke out in the Jinmen Sea. The large transport ship Zhonghai was seriously injured by torpedoes, and the 4000-ton Taisheng transport ship sank. One of the People's Liberation Army Navy's torpedo-boats was shot and sank. On this day, the people of the People's Liberation Army cheered. On the 25th, the two sides continued the artillery battle. Eight enemy F-86 fighter jets flew to the east of Jinmen. A brigade of MiG-17 fighter jets of our air force took off to fight. The air battle fought from the east of Jinmen to the sky above the mainland, from 10,000 meters to 1800 meters. The ratio of fighter jets lost by the two sides was 2:1。The results of the day were still more profit than loss. In the command center of the Golden Gate Defense Department, Hu Lian and Chu Yunfei were holding a meeting with all the commanders. Major General Huang Zhixiong, the commander of the island-guarding infantry, believed that the encirclement and suppression of the People's Liberation Army reconnaissance team that had infiltrated the island had been fruitless. They were all wearing the uniform of the Kuomintang-Army and knew the internal situation of the island's defenders very well. The Kuomintang-Army's password changed several times a day, but it was not difficult for them. There were 80,000 defenders on the island, and the number of military units was complicated. It was easy for the scouts of the People's Liberation Army to fish in troubled waters, which made the soldiers of the Kuomingtang army feel uneasy. They had opened fire on each other several times and fought with themselves, injuring many brothers.
An intelligence officer summarized the information of the infantry units that participated in the encirclement and suppression, and the true face of this small group of the People's Liberation Army began to be revealed. 1。They had been trained in precision shooting. From the corpses of the soldiers who died in the crossfire, almost all of them were shot in the middle of the head. According to the Guomindang soldiers who participated in the battle, these soldiers of the People's Liberation Army were extremely experienced in combat. They only used a single shot to retaliate, and they definitely did not miss.
There were at least two advantages to this method. First, it prevented the muzzle from being exposed when shooting continuously, so as to achieve the goal of concealing oneself. Secondly, it greatly reduced the consumption of ammunition. It was speculated that if a soldier of the People's Liberation Army carried 200 bullets, according to this method, 200 soldiers of the Kuomingtang Army would fall under his muzzle. If there were 100 scouts of the People's Liberation Army, and each of them was so skilled, the consequences would be terrible. 2. Judging from the scene where some sentries and small groups of people were killed, these soldiers of the People's Liberation Army were killers who were good at using cold weapons. The forensic doctor believed that the wounds on the bodies were caused by throwing knives from a certain distance. The knives were extremely accurate. Some of them pierced the heart between the two ribs on the left chest, and some pierced the heart from the soft tissue under the swollen bone on the left shoulder. According to the forensic doctor's inference, the victims could not have screamed when they were stabbed. It seemed that these killers had received very professional training. 3。They had all received professional climbing, cross-country training, and field survival training. However, they did not seem to plan to use their field survival skills. Instead, they constantly attacked the kitchen and logistics department of the National Army and took away a large amount of food. 4. They were all proficient in artillery work and were very professional in directing and correcting artillery fire. As Chu Yunfei listened to the report, his heart suddenly moved. It was a memory that had been sealed for a long time. Although time had passed, Yamamoto Ichiki's special forces suddenly appeared in his mind. The fog in his heart miraculously dissipated. He shouted," This is not an ordinary reconnaissance team, but a genuine special force. Damn it, after so many years, Li Yunlong still hasn't forgotten…"
Hu Lian was furious. He thought that the intelligence department was a bunch of useless people. Not only had the special forces of the People's Liberation Army been quietly established, but they had also easily landed on the heavily guarded island. As the commander, he had not heard anything beforehand. If the intelligence department was not a bunch of useless people, then what was it? The problem now was how to deal with these slippery special forces. They relied on the strong artillery support behind them and seemed to be a little unscrupulous. The main forces of the Kuomingtang army were blocked in the tunnel. Once they appeared, they would be killed by intensive artillery fire. Even if Hu Lian had 80,000 elite soldiers, he could not do anything to these special forces of the People's Liberation Army. Hu Lian looked at the officers surrounding him and said helplessly,"Don't tell me we can't do anything to this small group of enemies?”Chu Yunfei smiled coldly,"How can there be no way?" "Leave this matter to me…" Hu Lian interrupted him."Wait, let's talk inside…"
Li Yunlong's Battle Diary, September 2, 1958. According to the intelligence, two concrete runways have been built in the area where the line of sight of the mainland cannot be seen on the north side of Mount Taiwu and Mount Shuangru on Jinmen Island. Both of them are more than 1500 meters long and can take off and land large transport planes and jet fighters. One was the West Village Airport, built in 1954; The other was Shatou Airport, built in 1955. In this area, because our artillery could not observe it with their eyes, the enemy's airlift planes generally chose to take off and land at dawn, dusk, or night when the visibility was poor. Therefore, it was difficult to grasp the time to fire at them. After our Liangshan unit landed, we set up an air observation post at Shuangru Mountain and North Taiwu Mountain, and assisted the artillery to determine the firing elements. When the enemy plane appeared, we did not shoot first. When it entered the runway and was about to land, our artillery group immediately launched a sudden attack on the runway according to the pre-prepared shooting elements. From August 25th to September 2nd, four enemy transport planes were destroyed by us when they tried to land. According to the Liangshan team, the runways of Xicun and Shatou Airport could not be used because of too many bombs. The transport planes from Taiwan could not land in Kinmen, and the air transport was forced to stop.
In this battle, the Liangshan team contributed greatly. On September 6, 1958, the supply of the enemy troops in the Qingjin Gate became increasingly difficult. Under the circumstances that sea transportation and aerial transportation were blocked, airdrops were used as the main means of supply. However, it was not easy to drop supplies from the air to the Golden Gate. The Little Golden Gate was only 10 square kilometers, and the airdrop zone was extremely small. Although the Golden Gate was large, it was dumbbell-shaped with a width of less than 4000 meters in the middle. As our anti-aircraft artillery formed a fire net over the Golden Gate, the enemy planes did not dare to fly low. A portion of the materials thrown into the sea fell into the sea. Under the dispatch of our Liangshan team, most of the materials thrown into the island were destroyed by our artillery fire. According to the calculations of the intelligence department, the daily airdrop of supplies to the Golden Gate was only equivalent to 5% of the supply under normal conditions in the past. 5%, the enemy could only hide in the tunnels and rely on their reserves to survive. According to the Liangshan unit's report, the enemy commander regarded our Liangshan unit as a thorn in his side and wanted to get rid of them as soon as possible. Every night, a small group of enemy infantry would break through the artillery and engage in a fierce battle with our Liangshan unit. At present, our army had no casualties.
September 14th, 1958, overcast. Our artillery participating troops launched a full-scale zero-fire campaign. Except for large-scale artillery bombardment when important targets were discovered, they would switch to sporadic artillery bombardment during normal times, 24 hours a day, day and night. Especially within three nautical miles of the Liaoluo Bay dock. Causing the enemy to panic day and night to strengthen the effect of the comprehensive blockade. It was reported that ground activities on the enemy island had basically come to a standstill. In the early morning of the 13th, the enemy used a US-class transport ship to smuggle goods. When they approached the Liaoluo Bay dock, they were discovered by our observation post on North Taiwu Mountain. They mobilized artillery to launch a moving barrage and a stationary fire wall. Two transport ships were hit and caught fire. They fled back, and the supply failed again.
September 18th, 1958, sunny day. On the 16th, the enemy used a large transport ship outside the artillery range of Jinmen South. They loaded the goods from the ship with the US-made LZT tracked water and land transport vehicles, and directly rushed ashore to unload. After the 17 water and land transport vehicles entered the water, they formed a horizontal team to seize the beach at Liaoluo Bay. Under the dispatch of our Liangshan unit's observation post, our artillery group formed a fire net that covered the area within the Liaoluo Bay and within three nautical miles. Nine of them were hit immediately, and the rest escaped back to the artillery range. According to reports, the port and facilities of Liaoluo Bay were heavily damaged. "Hey! Old Li, I'm Ding Wei. It's quite lively on your side. I'm really hungry. Our Old Ding's life is not good. Good things never happen to me. I have nothing better to do here. Other than training, I'm also studying. Say hi to sister-in-law for me, and…how is your father-in-law? This old man is not simple. Don't look at him as a scholar. He has a very strategic vision. Listening to his words is better than reading ten years of books. His advice made me feel a little enlightened. What was that? Did the old gentleman become a right-wing? Nonsense, why are there fucking right-wing factions everywhere? I didn't read the newspapers much. I left the army last year when the movement was at its peak. I don't know much about local affairs. " I don't believe that so many Rightists and counter-revolutions will pop out all of a sudden. Forget it, forget it. I'm not going to talk anymore. I'm annoyed. I have to think about it. I'm hanging up…" Li Yunlong hung up the phone and sat quietly for a while. He was also annoyed. Recently, the house was in a mess, and nothing went well. His wife seemed to have made up her mind to live separately from him for a long time. Other than necessary words, she would not say anything else. Li Yunlong knew that Tian Yu's life was not good either. Ever since her parents were classified as extreme right-wing elements, the political department of her unit had talked to her a few times. They wanted her to treat the anti-right movement correctly and draw a clear line with her parents. It was best if she could write a statement or other written materials to express her position and sever ties with her parents. Tian Yu didn't comment, but Li Yunlong was furious after hearing it. What f * cking draw a line? How? If you don't acknowledge them as your parents, then where are you from? Could it be that he jumped out of a rock? He was disgusted by these political workers who went too far to the left.
Back when the base of Hubei, Henan, and Wan killed the AG and B Regiment, he watched many of his old superiors and old comrades be inexplicably executed. He would never believe that they were enemies. At that time, the special agents sent by the Security Bureau to various troops to supervise the elimination of rebels were simply the emperor. They held the power of life and death in their hands and could kill people with a word. Li Yunlong hated these people. In one battle, Li Yunlong organized a suicide squad and appointed a special agent of the Security Bureau as the captain. At that time, the special agent who had never fought in a war was scared pale. Li Yunlong did not say anything and pulled out a pistol at him. He told the special agent that he would either lead the suicide squad to charge, or he would be counted as cowardice and execute the battlefield discipline.
"Aren't you determined to be a revolutionary? Alright, you have to prove yourself to the soldiers. I don't have time to listen to your nonsense now. Charge.”The special agent gritted his teeth and rushed forward with the suicide squad. Strangely enough, he was the first to be shot and killed.
This move had angered the head of the Security Bureau. If the central government had not corrected the spread of the purge, Li Yunlong's head might have been cut off. "Ignore them. Tell them to do as they see fit. If they can't do it, then resign and go home. I, Li Yunlong, can afford to take care of my wife and children.”Li Yunlong said to Tian Yu. Due to Li Yunlong's position, the military intelligence department's political workers did not make things difficult for Tian Yu.
In view of the complete blockade of Jinmen Island, Li Yunlong had sent a retreat order to the Liangshan team in code. After the order was issued, he refused to leave the war room. Tonight was the key. If the Liangshan team could successfully withdraw, it would be a success. At one o'clock in the morning, the observation post on Jiao Yu Island reported that fierce battles had suddenly broken out at Mount Taiwu, Mount Shuangru, and the northeast of the island. There were dense gunshots mixed with explosions. At the same time, the walkie-talkie in the command center that was still silent earlier also came with the sound of gunfire and curses. From time to time, one or two faint muffled sounds could be heard. This was the sound of the Liangshan team members firing back with a silencer-equipped submachine gun. Li Yunlong was woken up by the staff officer on duty. He jumped up and rushed to the microphone. He grabbed the microphone and asked loudly,""Just in time, just in time. Did you open the floodgates? How much water flow?" Duan Peng's voice was intermittent, as if he was running or rolling."" No. 1, No. 1, the gate has been opened, water flow 54... No. 12 is entangled by snakes, No. 42 is going to put out the fire, there is a deep ditch in front... No. 4 sandbox, rain, rain..." Li Yunlong's heart sank."Commander, the retreat order has been issued. 54 people have safely evacuated. 12 people are surrounded by the enemy. 42 of us are going to rescue them, but there are too many enemies. Boom! Boom! The cannons began to fire, and the dark night sky was instantly filled with dark red trails of shells. Li Yunlong wiped his cold sweat and called Duan Peng's code name. His voice was filled with coldness,"" 01, 01, 42 flowing water, 42 flowing water, do not put out the fire, do not put out the fire..." Duan Peng did not answer. There were only gunshots and explosions in the walkie-talkie, but there was no answer.
Li Yunlong threw away the microphone in anger. He knew very well that the enemy's encirclement and suppression had been planned for a long time. With Duan Peng's 40 men, it was impossible to save those 12 people. The result was undoubtedly walking into the trap. Under such circumstances, they could only give up on those 12 people who were surrounded and retreat one more. But now Duan Peng did not answer. It was obvious that he refused to carry out the order. He wanted to open a gap regardless of life and death and rescue his comrades who were surrounded. As the commander of a special force, he was obviously acting on impulse. It was a big taboo.
Cyclone was lying under a huge rock, shouting into the microphone while firing a single shot to stop the enemy's skirmishers from jumping forward. The enemy's machine guns and submachine guns swept over like a whirlwind, splashing sparks on the rocks. A few mortar shells made a sharp whistling sound as they landed on the rocks. Boom! Boom! The ground exploded, and gravel fell like raindrops, almost burying the small whirlwind. The soldiers of the Liangshan unit who were surrounded relied on the favorable terrain and calmly fired back at the enemy with single shots. The special forces soldiers were indeed extraordinary. Their sparse single shots could not form a fire net, but the enemy soldiers of a reinforced battalion were nailed to the ground and behind the rocks by this sparse firepower. Whoever exposed themselves would be shot in the head. The enemy commander was very angry, because less than half an hour after the exchange of fire, the enemy had already lost fifty or sixty people. The hidden position of the People's Liberation Army commandos was extremely tricky. They hid in blind spots and only fired when they saw people. Whirlwind kept calling for artillery fire,"" 14 more south, I'm at corner 4A of the sandbox. Set up a wall of fire around me…" Dozens of 152-caliber artillery shells flew from the mainland and exploded into a wall of fire around the small high ground that Little Whirlwind was guarding. A reinforced battalion of the Guomindang Army was blown into pieces, and broken limbs were thrown more than ten meters high. The Flowery Monk Luo Yuchun crawled over with a broken leg and reported to Si Lu,""Hey! Sir, we don't have much ammunition left. I've calculated that each of us has less than twenty rounds. "In addition, there are only four people who are not injured, including you. The brothers discussed and decided to let the four of you who are not injured break out first. We will each take out ten bullets for you. We can't leave anyway, so we will cover you…" Si Lu was furious."Bullsh * t, what's the point of discussing it? I'm in charge here now, so what? Why are you glaring at me? Let me tell you, I'm in charge of this combat team. Is it your turn to discuss?”Luo Yuchun was scolded, but he didn't buy it. He retorted rudely,"I know you're the person in charge. No one will fight for power with you. Aren't you just a major? He wasn't even a major general, why was he so arrogant? See what you can do? Alright, can't you? The four of you who are not injured will carry the eight of us who are injured to break out of the encirclement. If I let each of you carry two, I will not fight. I will just watch the western scenery on your backs.”Si Lu sneered," I don't have the ability to carry you and break out of the encirclement, but I have the ability to stay with you. There are twelve of us in our group. If we want to live, we live. If we die, we die together…" Tong Ming, nicknamed Jade Arm Craftsman, raised his spear. With two muffled sounds, two enemy soldiers fell on their backs fifty meters away. Tong Ming pulled out the last clip with difficulty and loaded it. He pulled the bolt and loaded the bullet. He was shot in the abdomen, and blood kept oozing through the bandage. He challenged the authority of Si Lu in a weak voice,"Some people become lousy team leaders…just, just…I don't even know what their surname is. I don't like other people accompanying me…Aren't you…Little Whirlwind? Boring... it would have been better if he had been accompanied... wouldn't it? The Flowery Monk?" The Flowery Monk continued," That's right. It's more like a woman. Go, go, go. You guys go…"”Just as Si Lu was about to retort, a voice amplified by a loudspeaker sounded,"Commandos, commandos, I am the deputy commander of the island's defense department, Chu Yunfei. Please stop shooting. First of all, I would like to express my sincere admiration for your heroic and tenacious fighting spirit and superb individual combat quality. I admit that your special operations have caused heavy casualties on the island. In terms of military operations, your commando team has indeed achieved great success. "What I want to say now is that as soldiers, you have already accomplished your mission and fulfilled your responsibilities. Now, you should consider putting down your weapons and withdrawing from the battle with dignity. You don't have much ammunition left. Most of you are already injured. You can't break out of the encirclement. Moreover, it's meaningless to continue resisting like this. Brothers, we are all soldiers of China. This isn't a battlefield to resist foreign invaders. Putting down your weapons won't harm the integrity of the soldiers.""We are all descendants of the Yellow Emperor. Although our ideologies are different, I don't want to force you to change your views. I just want to say that you should cherish your lives. As soldiers of the Chinese Empire and descendants of the Yellow Emperor, I sincerely request that you put down your weapons and turn hostility into friendship. In the name of the deputy commander of the island's defense department, I guarantee that as long as you stop resisting, you will receive fair and dignified treatment.""Your dignity will not be violated in any way…" Si Lu estimated the distance in the direction of the shout and shouted for artillery fire into the microphone." 28 degrees east, 28 degrees east, corner 4B of the sand table. Rain, rain…"
Dozens of large caliber artillery shells from the Lotus River Cannons let out ear-piercing whistling sounds as they landed near Chu Yunfei's hiding spot. The reinforced concrete hiding spot managed to withstand a few direct hits, but the few speakers outside were blown to pieces. Chu Yunfei threw away the transmitter and sighed,""It seems like they are going all out. They can't even be bothered to reply. They might as well reply with cannonballs and attack immediately.”The enemy's light and heavy machine guns and mortars began to fire intensively again. The soldiers hiding behind the rocks took turns to cover and jump forward... Li Yunlong's command center's walkie-talkie suddenly came from the Little Whirlwind,""01, 01, don't worry about us. Don't come near us. The enemy is waiting with their net open. Quickly retreat, quickly retreat." "No. 1, No. 1, this is Whirlwind, this is Whirlwind, reporting our situation to you now. Through interrogating the captives, we learned that the Jinmen Defense Department recently transferred a new deputy commander, Chu Yunfei, who planned this operation. The specific implementation method is to take advantage of the interval between our artillery bombardment to split up the infantry teams into small groups and leave the tunnel. Then, they will enter the hiding position. I will take the main responsibility for this matter. I did not discover that the enemy had secretly gathered, causing the first combat team to be surrounded. " However, we didn't let the enemy off easily. The enemy's bodies are now in a circle around us. No. 1, now that we have used up all our ammunition, it's time to say goodbye. On behalf of our comrades, I bid farewell to the chief and comrades. Please fire at Area No. 4. Please cover Area No. 4. Hurry up, fire, fire…" The enemy commander heard the clear call from the road officer through the walkie-talkie and couldn't help but be overjoyed. It seemed that this small group of the Chinese army was really at the end of their rope. He might be able to catch a few alive if he rushed up. The enemy soldiers stood up from behind the rocks and swarmed forward while shouting. Si Lu removed the silencer from the muzzle and checked the magazine. There were still eight bullets left. He took out the last miniature grenade and said,"Brothers, remove the silencer and give him one last shot.”When the enemy's skirmishers approached the position, they were violently shot. Twelve submachine guns fired long bursts. This was an unprecedented shooting performance. Each gun fired the few bullets at a high level. The enemy soldiers were swept down, and the bullets were almost all in the face. Si Lu laughed out loud." Not bad. You're all at the level of a shooting coach. Come, brothers, gather around me. It's time for us to go."”Chu Yunfei used his binoculars in the shelter to see a dazzling fire flash on the small high ground guarded by the People's Liberation Army commandos, followed by a thunderous explosion, and then everything fell silent... In Li Yunlong's command post, Li Yunlong sat down weakly and waved to the artillery staff officer in charge of communication." Order the artillery to fire at Area 4. " The Lotus River Cannons let out earth-shaking booms, and Area 4 was instantly submerged in a sea of fire…
The Liangshan team had made a great contribution in this operation, and the central military and government had also issued a commendation order. Duan Peng and Lin Han were each given a first-class merit, and at the same time, a major demerit punishment. The reason was that after the 12 people, including Little Whirlwind, were surrounded, they refused the order to retreat and insisted on opening a gap in the encirclement. When the rescue operation failed, the captain Duan Peng and the political commissar Lin Han decided to retaliate without authorization. They raided a regiment headquarters of the Kuomingtang army, and all the officers of the regiment headquarters were killed. In this surprise attack, three members of the Liangshan team died. At the battle summary meeting, Duan Peng and Lin Han both did a self-reflection and admitted that they had made mistakes in commanding and acted on impulse. First, when the enemy came out of the tunnel in batches, they did not notice it at all, so they were ambushed, resulting in the sacrifice of 12 comrades. Second, they refused to carry out orders and launched a surprise attack without authorization in retaliation, resulting in the sacrifice of three comrades. Both of them felt that this punishment was not unjust. Li Yunlong was very irritable at the meeting. He slammed the table and cursed,"Are you two useless? The losses have already been caused. What the f * ck is the use of reflecting now? The soldiers of the Liangshan Division are all one in ten thousand, and they are all treasures. They wouldn't even exchange them for a division commander. You two bastards, you lost 15 people in one go. Damn it, you have to compensate me.”
Li Yunlong's eyes reddened as he spoke. His heart ached when he thought of the 15 members who had died. 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. The broadcast stations of both sides issued warnings before firing, telling the other party to hide to avoid unnecessary casualties. Since then, this strange and symbolic artillery battle continued for more than 20 years.
