Chapter 45: Pounding the Nest

Many of the enemy's cavalry plunged headlong into the ditch, and they fell into a daze without the soldiers firing, and the latter fell in one after another, and suddenly the ditch was full of ghosts and wolves.

That is, in ten minutes, the loss of these seven or eight hundred cavalry is almost the same, the inside and outside of the ditch are full of horse and human corpses, horse blood and human blood are mixed together, the scene is extremely tragic, Li Yong has no unbearable thoughts in his heart, war is a game of life and death, if you don't wipe out these enemy cavalry in front of the position, then it should be the soldiers of the special service company lying on the ground.

More than 300 infantry behind the cavalry, under the threat of the guns of the supervising team, stepped on the corpses of their comrades and rushed to the edge of the ditch with bullets, less than 50 meters away from the position of the special service company.

Li Yong looked at the enemy's distorted face and shouted with a sneer: "All the submachine guns are fired." In Li Yong's order, hundreds of submachine guns of the special service company fired at the same time, and the soldiers were already in a hurry, the rifle shooting speed was too slow, and they had to reload the bullet when they fired a shot.

The submachine gun in his hand kept screaming, and the rapid fire seemed to swallow the more than 300 charging infantry in the blink of an eye.

By this time, the last of the enemy's assault force of this regiment had been lost, and the enemy regimental commander was so frightened that he turned his horse and ran away with dozens of overseers of the guard company.

Li Yong looked at the fleeing enemy and shouted: "If you want to run, how can it be so easy, the reconnaissance platoon, machine gun platoon, and artillery platoon will help the instructor solve the enemy in the grain station, the health team will take care of the wounded, the cooking squad will clean up the battlefield, and the 12345 platoon will get on the horse and chase after me." ”

Instructor Wang Chengde had only one platoon and a platoon of recruits, although the number was not less than that of the enemy at the grain station, but the weapons and combat effectiveness were far inferior to other infantry platoons, Li Yong was worried that they would suffer heavy casualties, and as soon as the battle here was over, he immediately let the troops go to support.

The soldiers of the other five infantry platoons mounted their horses and followed Li Yong, and the hooves of hundreds of war horses struck the ground, closely chasing after the enemy's rout.

The enemy's regiment commander looked back: "***, this gang of communist troops is too ruthless, and there are only a few dozen of us left." ”

One of the enemy's officers shouted: "Regiment commander, don't go back to the regimental headquarters, it's useless to go back, the brothers are all dead, and the personnel left behind at the regimental headquarters have no combat effectiveness." ”

The enemy regiment commander thought for a moment and shouted as he ran on his horse: "Brothers, turn around and run towards Qingyang City." ”

Seeing that the enemy was running in the direction of Qingyang, his own troops could not catch up for a while, and shouted to Li Jiangguo in front: "Jiang Guo, stop chasing, just run, let's go to his regimental headquarters." ”

More than ten miles of road is nothing in terms of cavalry, not a lot of work, Li Yong and they came to the enemy's regimental headquarters, the enemy's left-behind personnel heard the sound of horses' hooves and thought that their own people had returned, one by one ran out to greet them, Li Yong ordered the troops to surround the enemy, and those who resisted were immediately killed, and seventy or eighty of the enemy's left-behind personnel saw that they were not their own people, but the Eighth Route Army wearing gray uniforms and obediently raised their hands and surrendered.

Li Yong immediately ordered the troops to take good care of the prisoners, and then loot the area around the enemy's regimental headquarters, and not let go of any useful things, especially the places where ammunition was placed.

In the past, I saw that the Kuomintang headquarters from movies and television were very generous, but this time when I walked in, I found that it was not like that, this enemy's regimental headquarters was very ordinary, there was no cow B as shown in film and television works, only two tables, two hanging maps, and a few telephones, and the rest were some teacups, kettles and other daily necessities.

Li Yong felt very disappointed, this group of enemies is too poor, not much stronger than the Eighth Road in the Great Northwest, sometimes it is not as good as the Eighth Road, the only feature is that there are horses, and a little consolation is that two maps have been captured, one is the planning map of the northwest region, and the other is the map of the northern Shaanxi border area.

Li Yong asked Sanniu and Xiaocheng to take off the map and take it up, and asked other soldiers to dismantle a few telephones, and some soldiers asked what was the use of telephones, and we couldn't use these telephones even in guerrilla warfare, Li Yong told the soldiers to think about it for a long time, these telephones are not used by the spy company now, but it does not mean that they will not be used in the future.

Li Yong, who came out of the enemy's regimental headquarters, came to the captives with the guard squad, Li Yong looked around the captives carefully, and found that most of them were very old soldiers, all of whom were thieves.

Li Yong asked the soldiers who were holding the captives what the prisoners were doing, and the soldiers replied that they were all non-combat soldiers of the cooking squad and baggage team, and a few were health soldiers.

Li Yong was overjoyed, the army was short of health soldiers, although the health team of the special service company was also called the health team, but none of them had really received formal training, including the captain Hu Xiaolian, who only knew some herbal medicine, and did not know anything about Western medicine and Western medicine.

The lightly wounded can still be dealt with with herbs, if there are seriously wounded in the army, they will be caught blind, this battle is much more fierce than the last time, although Li Yong has not had time to ask about the wounded, but it is estimated that there must be seriously wounded, and he is worried about this matter, and he is relieved when he hears that there are health soldiers.

Thinking of this, Li Yong shouted: "The health soldiers are out of the ranks." The captives looked at each other, hesitated for a while, and seven people came out, Li Yong asked what they were doing one by one, and found that two were doctors and five were hygienists, Li Yong thought to himself that there were only two doctors, at least some minor surgeries could be done.

At this time, the other soldiers came back, and Li Jiangguo shouted from afar: "Company commander, this time it is much stronger than last time, there is a small ammunition depot behind the enemy's regimental headquarters, and the ammunition in it is no problem to replenish our consumption this time." ”

Wang Laohu came over and said: "Company commander, this group of enemies is not rich, they are all poor like us before, I looked at it, most of them are rifle bullets and grenades, submachine guns and machine gun bullets are relatively few, but to supplement our combat consumption this time should be enough, Wei Gang and their platoon also have some heavy machine gun shells, I didn't find a single shell, it is estimated that this regiment does not have a small cannon, this time Gao Xiang they should shout that they didn't catch anything, the rest is some war horse equipment, like what kind of saddle and farrier supplies." ”

Li Yong likes Wang Laohu, a bold and careful old soldier, who is calm and calm, and is a good seedling to be a commander.

Li Yong said to Wang Laohu and Li Jiangguo: "No one can eat a fat man in one bite, that's it, doesn't the enemy still have a grain station, this time we can get back a lot of grain, we can't eat horse meat every day, these days I have a dozen burps and my mouth is full of horse meat." ”

In the Great Northwest Battlefield at that time, sometimes food was much more important than ammunition, no matter what kind of troops, no matter how you tighten your belt, but after all, you have to eat, and the saying that food is combat effectiveness is not false at all.

At that time, many of our army's combat operations were related to food, and the battle of Xianglong Town was a tough battle to obtain supplies for the troops, and it was very reluctant to fight Panlong with the strength of the Northwest Field Army at that time.
