Chapter 149: Layout (2)
Since the ambush point of the first regiment and the distance between the third regiment was not very far, Liu Hua rode a war horse and soon came to a high ground where the third regiment was located. At this time, most of the fighters were sitting on the ground to recuperate, and a small number of soldiers were maintaining the guns in their hands. In the distance, the commander of the third regiment was talking with the company commander who was thundering, and listening to the voice, there seemed to be some disputes.
Seeing Wang Nanhu, Liu Hua asked the guards to stay and walked over by himself.
"Commander Wang, how is it, how is the situation of the troops now?" Liu Hua said to Wang Nanhu's back.
"Ah, commander, why did you run to the front line, if something goes wrong, you let me Wang Nanhu"
"Okay, Commander Wang, it's not the first time for me, don't make a fuss, I asked you, how is the situation of the three regiments now, this time I can assign the best task to your three regiments, don't lose my face when the time comes!" Liu Hua interrupted what Wang Nanhu wanted to say.
"Yes, commander, you can rest assured, now the entire three regiments are screaming one by one after knowing their mission, you see, most of the soldiers are now sleeping, recuperating for the afternoon battle. When the time comes, you will see that the three regiments will definitely not embarrass you, nor will they disgrace the Reading Brigade! After listening to Liu Hua's encouraging words, Wang Nanhu replied with a red face.
"Okay, I believe you, I believe in the soldiers of the third regiment, tell me how you plan to fight the logistics of the devils, you know, this is also hundreds of well-trained devils, and only give you an hour. Tell us what you think? Liu Hua asked.
"Report to the commander, according to the information sent by the special operations team, there are still a total of 8 cars left in the devil's logistics baggage, plus some mules, horses, soldiers, and the entire logistics convoy is estimated to be 400 to 500 meters away, but the three regiments only have 1,500 troops, and it is impossible to surround them all, so I decided to send the regimental headquarters guard company reconnaissance company to resolutely block the devil's back road after the battle began, and it is best to blow up the devil's last car, so that the devil's entire convoy will be blocked on the road. Then, each of the three battalions is assigned to a mortar platoon, selects three assault points, and launches a charge against the devils, dividing them into four large pieces and slowly compressing their positions. Eventually, destroy them. ”
"Well, that's good, but why didn't I hear you arrange a combat mission for the Sky Thunder Company! You know, thunder is the best weapon for ambush warfare and fortification! Liu Hua saw the company commander behind Wang Nanhu who wanted to stop talking and asked.
"Report to the commander, there must be a large amount of ammunition and materials in the devil's logistics baggage, if you use the thunder, there won't be much left of these materials by then, so I decided not to use the thunder for the time being in the process of destroying the devil!" Wang Nanhu replied confidently.
After listening to Wang Nanhu's words, Liu Hua's brows furrowed again.
"Commander Wang, you are fooling around, let me ask you, is it the lives of the soldiers that matter, or those ammunition are important," Liu Hua asked with a glare.
"Commander, the lives of the soldiers are more important, but after all, they are several carts of ammunition," Wang Nanhu said in a low voice.
"That's enough, Commander Wang, I'll tell you now, no matter when, the lives of the soldiers are the most important thing in our Reading Brigade, the ammunition is gone, and the next time we capture it, but the lives of the soldiers are only once. In addition, now, the soldiers in our hands are all veterans who have come out of the Long March, and these soldiers will have one less to fight, and their lives are much more precious than these ammunition, and now, as long as our arsenal has full capacity to produce ammunition under the condition that the raw materials are sufficient, I don't care about these ammunition of the devils. Immediately change the battle plan, and it is necessary to use thunder to reduce the casualties of the soldiers. Liu Hua interrupted Wang Nanhu's words and criticized harshly.
"Yes, Commander, I will immediately revise the battle plan and make sure to reduce the casualties of the soldiers as much as possible!" After listening to the commander's criticism, Wang Nanhu also lowered his head, feeling uneasy about his irresponsibility just now.
"Well, go ahead, remember, no matter what time in the future, the lives of the warriors are more precious than anything else."
"Yes, Commander, I must remember that." Looking at Wang Nanhu in the distance, Liu Hua couldn't help but sigh. This is not only Wang Nanhu's reason, this is a very common behavior in the current Eighth Route Army, in order to capture some more enemy ammunition and materials, how many soldiers' lives have been paid, but, in the end, this can only be blamed on the Eighth Route Army's ammunition is too lacking.
Liu Hua tried hard not to let himself think about these problems and regained his spirits. After asking several company-level cadres about the situation of the soldiers and the ammunition reserves in the hands of the soldiers, Liu Hua was very satisfied, and then left the ambush point of the third regiment and prepared to go to the ambush point of the second regiment to see the deployment of the campaign on the plateau.
When I came to Changle Village, I saw that the soldiers were constantly busy, some were digging trenches, some were digging single bunkers, and some were building heavy machine gun positions Anyway, the position of the entire second regiment was not as quiet as the first regiment and the third regiment. Liu Hua took the guards to look for a long time, and only then did he find Gao Yuan, the commander of the Second Regiment, where the artillery battalion was located.
Seeing the commander walking towards him, the regiment commander Gao Yuan, the political commissar Chen Dazhong, and the artillery battalion commander Chen Guangrong all showed surprised looks.
Gao Yuan reacted, "Commander, why did you come to the front-line position, if you let the political commissar know, you will criticize a few of us again?" ”
"Hehe, don't worry, isn't the army here yet? In the conference room just now, I just assigned combat missions to the three of you regiment commanders, and there was no detailed arrangement on how to fight, so I was a little worried, so I came over to take a look and asked how you plan to fight this battle. Liu Hua said with a smile.
"How about it, Regiment Commander Gao, Political Commissar Chen, how do you plan to use the strength of a regiment to drag down more than 200 people in the main wing of the devils?" Liu Hua then asked.
"Report to the commander, me and the political commissar, Battalion Commander Chen has already thought of a way, but I don't know if it's okay!" Takahara replied immediately.
"Well, let's hear it, let me, the commander, also be a staff officer."
"Yes, Commander. That's right, now we have three and a half battalions of troops plus an artillery battalion in our hands. I want to arrange the guard company and the reconnaissance company in Changle Village to guard and prevent the devils from occupying this high ground after being dragged by us, and the first, second, and third battalions are concentrated on the three hills along the way, and of course, all the heavy machine gun fire is arranged in the bunkers on the mountainside, so that the fire coverage of all the heavy machine guns in the whole regiment will be greatly increased.
When the time comes, after the first regiment is fired, the artillery battalion will fire indiscriminately at the road, and then when the devil's formation is chaotic, the artillery battalion will immediately turn around and strike only at the position where the three main battalions are going to carry out the assault, and it is best to use artillery fire to defeat the troops at these three points.
Of course, after being divided into four major blocks, I will not have any extra troops to attack the devils, so I can only rely on the artillery to continuously launch artillery bombardments on the devils, so that they cannot gather their forces and relieve the pressure on the surrounding soldiers, while waiting for the soldiers of the three regiments to come together to encircle and annihilate the main wing of the devils. After finishing his combat deployment, Gao Yuan looked at Commander Liu Hua.
At this time, Liu Hua didn't stop to say anything because of the plateau, just thought quietly. Originally, I thought that Gao Yuan would only let his second regiment stick to the Yue army, but I didn't expect the three of them to be so bold, and they planned to use the strength of one regiment to surround the main wing of the Yue army, which was twice their own. Although this will have great advantages for encircling and annihilating the Yue army in the future, there are also many disadvantages.
"Commander Gao, this method is the best way to encircle and annihilate the devils in the future, but when the time comes, almost every battalion will be attacked from both sides, will the troops be able to hold on? And more importantly, the casualties of the troops? ”
"Report to the commander, the regiment commander and I have thought about it, as long as the artillery battalion cooperates well, the pressure on our three battalions will not be too great, and when the time comes, I, the regiment commander, and the chief of staff will each go to a battalion, rest assured, commander, the second regiment will definitely be able to complete the task?" Political Commissar Chen Dazhong said.
"Okay, I believe you, Battalion Commander Chen, your artillery battalion must cooperate with the Second Regiment, in order to facilitate your contact, Regiment Commander Gao, you will go to the headquarters in a while to receive two radios, and when the time comes, you will have one radio station for each battalion, so that it is convenient to call for artillery support" After listening to Chen Dazhong's words, Liu Hua also said with certainty.
"Yes, Commander, with these two radios, I believe that our mission will be even better." Hearing that the headquarters supported two radio stations, Gao Yuan said with a smile.
"Also, Commander Gao, you have the same problem as the first regiment, the main places of the Yue army's sweep this time are in the mountains, so each squadron of the Yue army is equipped with mortars, when the time comes, your three battalions are in the middle of the Yue army's flanking attack, you must pay attention to the mortars of the Yue army, you don't have extra time to build a trench, then you had better widen the depth of the position, set up a few more defense lines, and don't distribute troops too densely to prevent losses." Liu Hua finally reminded.
"Yes, Commander." The three of them said together.
After talking to Gao Yuan, the commander of the second regiment, about the situation, Liu Hua was in a very happy mood at this time, and he was still a little worried about the operation of the three regiments, but after listening to the combat plan of the three regiments, he was all overjoyed, and it seemed that the three regiment commanders under him had their own operational ideas, and they could be released to read and fight.
Thinking of this, Liu Hua walked towards the headquarters with satisfaction. Let's see if there are any new movements in the army.
