Chapter 245: The Battle of Xifu Attack Qishan

Ning Erzi closed his mouth a little in frustration, and stopped talking to these soldiers, and the jeep went all the way to the east, getting closer and closer to the hidden position of the independent regiment.

By the time Ning Erzi and his soldiers came back, it was already dark, and the soldiers of the reconnaissance battalion were all curious to look at this drunk Kuomintang officer, who was still asleep, and did not know that he had been captured by the PLA.

Seeing that the guy who was caught was still asleep, Ning Erzi simply drove to the regiment headquarters with people and cars, and shouted when he saw Li Yong: "Regiment leader, catch one back, it's still a captain, but let me fill it too much, and now I'm still confused, what do you think?" ”

Ning Erzi and the soldiers came back safely, Li Yong and Zhang Jinsong were very happy, looked at this stunned guy and said, "What should I do?" It's easy to do, Li Yuming, go get a bucket of cold water. ”

It didn't take long for the fighters of the guard company to bring a bucket of water. Li Yong commanded a few soldiers to drag this guy off the car, and then poured this cold water down his head.

I saw that the captured officer was suddenly clever, trembling for a while, and suddenly came to his senses, this guy was sober, but he still didn't know where he was.

"Oh, who is this, I am covered in water, do you still want to live?" This guy scolded a few words, and none of the people around him squeaked, and this guy also wondered, who was so bold and dared to be so neat.

When I opened my eyes, I felt that something was wrong, this guy was born in the old army, he had a lot of experience, and he had a lot of eyes, and he looked at the people around him who didn't look like the army, and then took a closer look, my mother, these people are wearing gray military uniforms, aren't they the eight roads wearing gray military uniforms? How did I get here at Eight Roads? We haven't heard of any troops of the Eighth Route Army in our area.

A cold sweat ran down the back of the backbone, and the wine woke up all at once, something was wrong, it seems that I was caught back by the Eighth Route Army, what did the Eighth Route Army do when I arrested me:

"Commanders, what do you mean by this, I have never done anything bad about the villain, I have not offended your army, I am from the Qishan Security Corps, and I have never fought with your army."

Li Yong, who had been observing coldly, asked at this time, "Is the wine sober?" This guy is a veteran, and at a glance he knew that it was the head of this group of eight roads who was questioning, don't look at the age of the person, but it must be the chief, and hurriedly replied: "Report to the chief, all awake."

Li Yong: "Do you understand what kind of unit we are?" "Report to the chief, I see, you are the Eighth Route Army."

"It's good to see it, let me introduce it to you first, your Qishan County has now become the target of our People's Liberation Army, and I want you to tell you about the situation in Qishan in detail, and if you say it, explain all kinds of situations clearly, there is nothing wrong with your life, if you deliberately hide it from our People's Liberation Army, you know what the consequences are, I especially remind you that you are not the only one who has been captured by us. If you think you're of little use to us and just pull it out and kill you, do you understand what I'm saying? ”

Although it is said that it is April, the temperature at night is still quite low, but this guy keeps wiping the sweat on his head with his sleeve: "I understand the chief, I understand the chief." ”

"Understood, repeat our request to me."

"The People's Liberation Army wants to attack the county seat of Qishan, and orders me to explain the situation in Qishan in detail, and if there is a place to hide or explain unclearly, pull it out and shoot it."

"Very good, I heard it very clearly, you are a captain officer, you should be very clear about the garrison of Qishan, and you can tell everything you can know."

This guy trembled and told the situation of Qishan, the officer did know more than the soldier, plus he had gone to a military school, and the narrative was relatively organized, after this guy said, the defense situation of Qishan was roughly in the hearts of the commanders of the independent regiment.

After the captives were brought down, Li Yong once again summoned commanders at all levels for a meeting, with only one purpose, how to deal with this Qishan county.

According to the prisoners' confessions and the information gathered by the reconnaissance battalion, this Qishan, like Fufeng, was defended by a Kuomintang local reporting group, with only more than 1,000 personnel, and its weapons and equipment were generally not the same as those of Fufeng, except that there were certain differences in the setting of some defensive positions.

The commanders at all levels of the independent regiment won the battle a little easily, especially the last time they attacked Fufeng County, not only did they easily destroy a local security regiment of the enemy, but they themselves did not suffer any losses, which shows that the enemy's local troops are very poor, they are not good at weapons and training, and they have no combat effectiveness, so Li Yong, the commander of the regiment, launched an attack overnight, knocked out the county seat of Qishan in one fell swoop, and will have dinner in the city tomorrow morning.

Zhang Jinsong, commander of the reconnaissance battalion, said excitedly: "Regiment commander, let's do it, fighting at night our Eighth Route Army is the ancestor of his Kuomintang, this is our specialty, not to mention a local security regiment, even his regular army is not our opponent, our reconnaissance battalion assures the regiment party committee that as long as we go up, we will be able to break through as soon as possible." ”

Li Jiangguo, the commander of the first battalion, also said: "Regiment commander, I think what Lao Zhang said is reasonable, fighting at night is the old business of our Eighth Route Army, and we still use the method of fighting the wind to drive the enemy out of the city and eliminate them outside the city." ”

Looking at the passionate commander, Li Yong didn't say anything directly, but asked rhetorically: "Everyone is right, our Eighth Route Army is the ancestor of night battles, and the enemy is not our opponent, this is true, what I want to ask you is, why do we often fight night battles, why do we fight night battles so well?" ”

Li Jiangguo and Zhang Jinsong, these old soldiers, are all authentic old Eighth Road backgrounds, and they are very confident that their troops will fight night battles, but they really can't answer the two questions raised by Li Yong, and they haven't thought about why they fight night battles and why night battles are so powerful, and they don't understand why the regiment commander asks this question, what is there to ask, is it not good?

Seeing that no one answered, Li Yong himself continued: "Our Eighth Route Army is not born to fight at night, we are trained little by little, we have explored it with battles again and again, and we have exchanged the lives and blood of our soldiers.

But why did our Eighth Route Army often choose to fight at night when fighting with the enemy, comrades, do you understand why?

None of the people who came to the meeting spoke, and Li Yong said: "I come to tell you that our former Red Army and Eighth Route Army liked to fight at night because our strength was inferior to the enemy, and our weapons and equipment were even inferior to the enemy.

Now the situation is different, we have more personnel than the enemy, and the weapons and equipment are even more incomparable than theirs, and if we launch an attack this night, it should be no problem to break through the enemy's fortifications, and with the firepower of our regiment and the combat effectiveness of our fighters, we will definitely be able to break through.

But what happens when you get in? We will fight with the enemy in the city, and some comrades will say, "What's so great about fighting in a melee, we will definitely win," which is true, but everyone thinks about our casualties after the war.

We are very comfortable with the wind, and remind everyone to think about one thing, if we don't blast the enemy out of the city, will our casualties be so small? The enemy's spear is not a burning stick, but it can kill people. ”

Night combat is our forte, but it is not wise to fight at night when we have the advantage of both men and weapons.

The reason why Li Yong did not directly oppose the opinions of these commanders was that he wanted to use every battle to instill in everyone his combat thinking.

Li Jiangguo, who was still fast-talking, asked: "Commander, what do you mean?" When should we attack? ”

"Fighting is dead, so the fewer casualties the better, we must make full use of our own strengths, and strive to minimize the casualties, my opinion is to rest tonight and start attacking tomorrow morning, or use our old method of fighting the wind to blast the enemy out of the city and destroy it in the field."

A wise commander must be good at taking advantage of various conditions to exchange the greatest victory for the minimum cost.

After entering the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, the most powerful army in the world was the US military, but this army, which was frightened by the night battles of our volunteers on the Korean battlefield, chose to fight at night several times (in American terms, the moon of North Korea belongs to the Chinese).

In the two Gulf Wars, in Iraq, in Yugoslavia, in Kosovo, in Afghanistan, every large-scale combat launch of the US military was chosen to be carried out at night.

Why is this happening? The most reluctant to fight a night war in the US military has changed its approach, the answer is very simple, because the modern US military has been equipped with a large number of night vision equipment, low-light night vision devices and infrared night vision devices have been equipped to every individual soldier, the night battlefield has become relatively transparent for the US military, coupled with information sharing, night war will not be their shortcoming, on the other hand, their opponents are still at the level of fighting guerrillas in World War II, and the night will minimize their combat effectiveness, which is why the modern US military likes to fight at night.

There was nothing to say for a night, and the next morning, the brigade of the independent regiment tore off their disguises, launched a battle team, opened their teeth and claws, and went straight to Qishan County.

In the early morning, Qishan Castle was shrouded in a thin layer of cooking smoke.
