Chapter 53: Second Battalion Commander, Where's My Gun?
Yesterday, Brigadier Chen and Political Commissar Wang of the 386th Brigade discovered that too many veterans had been transferred from the 771st Regiment, which seriously affected the combat effectiveness of the army. After reporting to the division headquarters, they received orders from the division commander and political commissar that all the veterans were returned to the 77th Regiment.
A ball.
Now, it was the turn of the new supplementary regiment to sit down. The regiment leader Han Tongshan couldn't believe it. Yesterday, the supplementary regiment was strong, or barely passable, but today it became the Red Spear Team. It was really the Red Spear Team.
, everyone carried a wooden spear, and most of the soldiers also installed a cluster of red cherry blossoms on the gun head in order to increase their momentum. Moreover, their own red spear team also served as the vanguard. They saw roadside, rooftops, and big trees.
Above, there were all the common people watching the Eighth Route Army fight. Captain Han's face suddenly turned red. Is this the Eighth Route Army? Even the Eighth Route Army has a few fires to show off, okay?
I was annoyed and walked in a hurry. I quickly ran to the front of the team. I had resentment in my heart but did not dare to express it. Everyone knew that the 771st Regiment was the main force of the division. If the main force's combat effectiveness was reduced, the entire
The army will become a ball of scattered sand.
While walking, news suddenly came from the vanguard company that a comrade from the local area came to report that there was an emergency.
Captain Han stepped forward and saw that the two people in front of him were Captain Xie of the division's guerrilla brigade. He had seen it when it was established a while ago. He couldn't help but be surprised and said: "Captain Xie, what happened?"
Captain Xie was out of breath from running: "Han, Captain Han, there are, there are Japs!"
"What? Are there Japs? Where are they?"
"Just before dawn, a large group of people, estimated to be one or two hundred people, came out of Licheng, and they also brought several carriages. By the way, each of them carried several guns on their backs, and some even carried boxes of ammunition!
I was far away and didn't dare to get close. I wanted to set up an ambush but was afraid of abusing someone, so I hurried over to report the news, "Captain Han, this is a big piece of fat!"
"Okay!" Captain Han was overjoyed when he heard this: "There are only one or two hundred people. We can guarantee it as a group. By the way, Lao Zhao, you said they can carry two or three rifles each?"
"Yes, some of them are carrying two machine guns. It's too dark to see clearly, but they must be the right guns."
This is strange. Even if the Japs dispatch troops, there is no reason for one person to carry two rifles. He wants to fight, but he looks back at his troops. There are only dozens of rifles in the avant-garde platoon, and there are also dozens of large spray guns.
Yes, this thing is fine up close. You can only hear a sound when it is more than fifty meters away. However, it is not the Eighth Route Army's style to retreat back to the formation when encountering difficulties, especially when the supplementary regiment has just been established and is about to be inspired by a victory.
morale.
"beat!"
Captain Han squeezed out one word from his teeth, no matter how powerful the enemy is, we must defeat their arrogance!
"Order the vanguard platoon to speed up the march, send out powerful reconnaissance personnel to find out the enemy's movements, and report back in time!"
"Yes!" The correspondent took the order and left, but Captain Han took Captain Zhao's hand and said: "Old Zhao, you have seen our conditions. We only have more than thirty guns and hundreds of grenades. We need
The attack can only be done by chance, is there a suitable place nearby for an ambush?"
"Yes, there is a place where there is a ditch between two mountains. I'm just afraid that the Japanese won't be fooled!"
"That's no problem. As long as there's a suitable place, I'll have the Japs lured over. You can take us there quickly."
"Okay, then please follow me."
"First Battalion, Second Battalion, run forward, Third Battalion keep up!" After Commander Han waved his hand, the teams of the two battalions sped up. As for the Third Battalion, they are Commander Han's reserve team and should be kept until the most critical moment.
It takes time to attack.
Just as the two battalions were digging holes with shovels on the top of the mountain, a loud roar suddenly came from the front: "Captain Han, Lao Zhao, stop quickly, our own people, stop quickly!"
"What? One of our own?" Captain Han was immediately confused. I had almost dug a hole, but you, Lao Zhang, actually said at this moment that you had one of your own. Aren't you kidding me?
He didn't even bother choosing a route to run down, and just slid down a gentle slope. His movements were not much worse than those of an advanced skier.
As soon as he reached the foot of the mountain, he didn't even have time to beat the snow, so he yelled at political commissar Zhang who ran in front of him: "Old Zhang, you have to understand that anyone who reports military intelligence will be killed..."
"I know, I know. It was dark last night and I couldn't see clearly, so I ran with them. It was only at dawn that I realized that they were all from my own troops, and they were from the same division. You said this, it's not that the flood has washed away the Dragon King Temple.
?"
"Is he really one of our own? Which army is he from?"
"Report to the leader, they are an engineering company directly under the division. Their company commander, Zhao, led his men to rob Licheng yesterday. Now they are sending weapons to the troops. Look." The vanguard platoon leader pointed back while running.
Captain Han took a closer look and saw that it was indeed his own troops. The military uniforms and military postures, why did he become more energetic the more he looked at them?
A young man walked towards me. He looked about sixteen or seventeen years old, with a round face and a pair of big eyes. He was energetic, but he definitely didn't look like a young man, but looked like a mature cadre. He smiled upon meeting him and said, "Are you Captain Han?
It's great to see you. We are exhausted from carrying guns. Do you want these guns? We don't want to carry them anymore."
After saying that, he lowered the two crooked handles from his shoulders and thrust them directly onto the snow.
Commander Han's eyes widened: "This is a machine gun, and you just put it on the ground so casually?"
"The Japanese machine gun is not easy to use, it jams easily, and it needs to be oiled..."
The Korean group snatched it away: "This is a machine gun, no matter how bad it is, it's better than a rifle, right? By the way, how many guns did you bring out?"
"Excluding our own, there are only eight light machine guns and about two hundred rifles. There is no way, there are only so many in the warehouse in Licheng."
"What are you talking about? You went to rob the heavily guarded warehouse in Licheng? You're not kidding me, are you? How many Japanese were killed?"
Zhao Hu said with a smile: "We didn't shoot anyone. We went to carry guns. Can we still get them to fight the Japanese? Oh, by the way, there was a sound before dawn. It might kill a few, but we ran away at that time.
It’s far away and I don’t have time to go back and count.”
"Comrade Xiao Zhao, could you please make a draft before you brag next time? There are thousands of Japs in Li City, and you were asked to take out your gun with such arrogance? And you didn't even fire a single shot?"
"I say you, chief, don't look at people through the cracks in the door. We snatched the gun from the enemy's den. Do you like it? If you don't like it, we will probably carry it for a while. There are many troops who want weapons.
."
A clear female voice sounded from the front. When Captain Han saw it, he turned out to be a tall female cadre and a beauty. He suddenly felt a little embarrassed: "Who said no, we want it, we want it, who are you?"
"Humph, engineer company instructor Lin Yating!"
"Haha, hello, Director Lin. Director Lin is as good as a woman! Guys, come here quickly and take down the weapons of the comrades. Don't let the comrades of the engineer company get tired."
"Oh, there are guns, there are weapons!" Soldiers rushed down the hillside one by one, fighting for weapons from the soldiers of the engineering company. Suddenly someone started shouting: "This is my gun, the 38-gun is yours."
…”
When Captain Han saw that the soldiers of the supplementary regiment were actually trying to steal their own guns, he immediately became angry: "Please be aware, it is enough for the engineers and soldiers to even send weapons, how can you take other people's own guns?"
?”
He turned back to Zhao Hu and said: "Comrade Xiao Zhao, your engineering company has good weapons. The whole company is actually equipped with Ying Qiqi. The rate of fire of this gun is very fast. Do you have enough bullets?"
Zhao Hu said first, "It's not enough. These bullets don't match those of the Japanese. But we are an engineering company. To replenish ammunition, we should first equip the main force with weapons. Do you think so, Commander Han?"
"Yes, yes, Comrade Xiao Zhao is very upright and upright. I will ask my superiors to take credit for you when I get back."
"Zhao Hu waved his hand and said: "There is no need to ask for credit. Please go back to Commander Han and send a list to his superiors. I have Commander Ni's weapons for a regiment. This is less than one-fifth, so we will leave first.
, I’ll leave the rest to Captain Han!”
Seeing the engineer company returning with one rifle per man and an empty carriage, Captain Han nodded with a smile. What a coincidence, it is better to come early. We got a strengthened company's weapons early in the morning, and there were actually eight machine guns.
By the way, the machine guns of the main force are nothing more than that, right?
At this time, the instructor of the second battalion suddenly said in his ear: "Commander, there are more than a dozen small cannons in the weapon. I saw the Japanese have shot them, but we don't know how to use them."
Chapter completed!
