Chapter Eighty-Six: Tooth Extraction
To answer a question from a book friend, of course, the purpose of crossing was not to fight a civil war, but the Kuomintang government at that time represented the interests of the big landlords, big capitalists and big bureaucrats, how could the common people live a good life if such a ruling group was not eliminated? You can ask the old people around you who are about 70 years old, and ask them what kind of school they go to school, most of them only had the opportunity to go to school and study after the founding of New China, and they can't forget their roots too much.
After arranging He Cuihua and her team, Li Yong looked at his watch a little anxiously, it was already three o'clock in the morning, why hadn't the avant-garde regiment of the 123rd Brigade of the Kuomintang Party moved? Isn't it quite positive to support Yulin, why is it so slow to chase down? In two hours, the sky will be dawn, and as soon as the day dawns, the battle will not be easy to fight.
Li Yong didn't know what the enemy was thinking now, the 36th Division had been driving for hundreds of miles in a row, the team was very tired, and most of them went in to rest after arriving in Yulin, eating what they should eat, drinking, and sleeping, only this 123rd Brigade continued to pursue southward under the order of the division commander, nibbling on a few mouthfuls of dry food while walking.
Of course, the officers and men of this brigade are very reluctant, the officers above the regimental level have cars to sit on, the officers at the grassroots level have horses to ride, and the soldiers can only rely on their own two legs; the reinforcements in Yulin have been walking hundreds of miles for several days in a row, and no one is willing to go down and on, and as soon as the spirit is relaxed, the speed of walking slows down, and the faster you go, the farther away from the main force, and the farther away from the main force, the more dangerous it is.
Time passed little by little, Li Yong's heart became more and more anxious, if he wanted to buy a little more time for the main force, he had to fight the enemy, so that the enemy who chased down had some scruples, and he couldn't let them advance along the way, with the strength of the current special service battalion, it was the best choice to give the enemy a surprise attack at night.
Li Yong's face was still as calm as before, and he didn't see any anxious expression, but he looked at the watch on his wrist from time to time, and when the watch hand pointed to half past three, Li Yong secretly decided to wait for another twenty minutes, and after twenty minutes, he must withdraw if he can't fight again.
At this time, Zhang Jinsong ran over and said in a low voice: "Battalion commander, here." Li Yong's spirit was shocked, okay, in the end, I waited for you here, and immediately told the soldiers around him: "Pass down, all of them are there, ready to fight." ”
After a few more minutes, I heard the footsteps of the troops marching and the light of flashlights in the distance, and gradually the figures came closer and closer.
Li Yong watched by the faint moonlight, only to see that this group of enemies drove over in a four-way column, the soldiers carried weapons, ammunition and several days of dry food, and their waists were hunched, as if they were very tired, some soldiers did not even take off the light machine gun jackets and just resisted, and from time to time some people took flashlights to shine around.
Li Yong knew that the enemy of this regiment had not rested since he attacked Yulin to reinforce Yulin, and the long-distance march for several days had dropped very badly, so the soldiers looked very tired, but this was a perfect opportunity for the special service battalion.
The sky was getting darker and darker, Li Yong knew that this was the darkest period of time before dawn, the enemy's marching army was getting closer and closer, and gradually it was only more than fifty meters away from the nearest soldier, and the soldiers were holding their guns, and their heads were tightly shrunk in the trenches, and they did not dare to gasp in the atmosphere, and some soldiers stopped their mouths by mistake, for fear that they would cough out.
When several of the enemy's military jeeps drove over, Li Yong knew in his heart that the opportunity had come, and the enemy of this regiment had all entered the ambush range of the soldiers of the special service battalion, and these vehicles must be the vehicles of the officers of the enemy's regimental headquarters, and the regimental headquarters must be in the middle of the team.
Wei Gang was about to sweat before Li Yong's gun rang out, but this time when the battalion commander's gun rang out, the twelve heavy machine guns that commanded his platoon opened fire suddenly, only a few dozen meters away, and the firepower of the special service battalion instantly greeted the head of the enemy's avant-garde regiment.
After the battle began, Li Yong came to Wei Gang's machine-gun platoon and commanded a squad of three Makqin to sweep the enemy's jeep in front of and behind them, regardless of the number of people, and strafing back and forth.
Li Yong's biggest concern was the mortar company of the Kuomintang regiment, so he used three heavy machine guns in a squad to focus on taking care of the troops near the regimental headquarters of this avant-garde regiment, saying that nothing could make the enemy's mortar company react, it is estimated that this artillery company should follow the regiment headquarters on the left and right, can the direct subordinate team of the regiment headquarters still be far away?
Some of the enemy's soldiers ran in all directions, some lay down and did not move, and some die-hards looked for a nearby place where they could hide to counterattack our troops; five minutes passed, and the light and heavy machine guns, submachine guns, rifles, and shell guns of the special service company kept firing, and they did not need to aim carefully, but just set fire to the crowd.
At this time, the soldiers' grenades had already been thrown twice, grenades like rain were exploding everywhere, the enemy's mortar company still did not react at all, it was very dark, and it was impossible to see where the enemy's artillery was, Li Yong commanded three heavy machine guns to use bullets several times in front and behind the jeep, it is estimated that it is almost the same, and the soldiers of this artillery company are not all dead or alive under the stormy fire of our army.
Li Yong lowered his head and ran to Gao Xiang's artillery platoon and ordered: "See the enemy's counterattack fire, and bomb wherever there is a flash of the enemy's gun." ”
Finally received the battalion commander's order to let go of the fire, the battalion commander's order to receive the battalion commander's order twelve small cannons of the artillery platoon tom tom non-stop, the muzzle flame of the enemy's counterattack in the dark night is easy to find, as long as there is a place to shoot, the shells will be taken care of immediately.
Another ten minutes passed, and the Kuomintang soldiers of this regiment gave up resistance and ran around in a hurry. The so-called defeat is like a mountain, as long as one person escapes on the battlefield, it will infect a large area, and the combat effectiveness of the troops will be lost as soon as they run back.
Seeing that the enemy's resistance had basically stopped, Li Yong immediately ordered the whole battalion to attack, the first and second platoons outflanked from both sides, and the other platoons attacked from the front, to clean up the battlefield within ten minutes, to select useful weapons and equipment, to take as many as they could, and to capture as many prisoners as possible.
The soldier got up from the ground and rushed up, chasing everywhere in the mountains and fields, Li Yong was stopped by Sanniu and Xiaocheng again this time, saying that Li Yong was not allowed to rush up, Li Yong had to stop and let Li Yuming inform the troops to clean up the battlefield, how much can be taken, and if you can't take it, don't do it.
This avant-garde regiment of the 123rd Brigade has lost its combat effectiveness, and if the special service company takes the opportunity to surround it, it may really be able to kill it, but if it is not careful, it will be dumpled by the enemy's follow-up troops, Li Yong ordered the soldiers to chase it and come back to clean up the battlefield immediately.
The Central Army of the Kuomintang is still rich, and this weapon and equipment are much stronger than those miscellaneous cards, and the soldiers of the spy company want to take everything they see, and their bodies are full of all kinds of weapons and ammunition, and some soldiers are so tired that they are swaying when they walk. Li Jiangguo and Wang Laohu, the platoon commanders, told the soldiers to pick up the most important ones, don't be too greedy, the weapons are made of iron, not cotton.
When all the gunfire stopped, Sanniu and Xiao Chengcai let Li Yong walk over, Li Yong walked a few steps to a few parked jeeps, only to see that several cars were basically intact, and the soldiers knew in advance that the battalion commander wanted to keep these cars to be of great use, and all kinds of firepower did not go up to greet them.
Li Yong opened the car doors one by one, only to see that the officers in the car had been killed. Li Yong hurriedly asked the soldiers around him what was going on, the car was all good, and the people in the car couldn't die, how could the car die if there were no bad people?
Before the soldiers could answer, I saw He Cuihua running over with a shell gun with the nose open and said: "What's the matter, these people were killed by our team, I know you have to capture more prisoners, you see the little soldiers driving I keep them for you, what's the use of these officials, I'll collapse for you." ”
Li Yong heard it, good guy, it's really ruthless enough, it's nothing to kill a few officers, the special battalion has never taken the lives of the enemy's officers seriously, but the troops have to listen to the command no matter what actions they take in the battle and march, this He Cuihua is a bit excessive.
Li Yong: "Comrade Cuihua, you must obey the command when you act on the battlefield, you can't just shoot prisoners. He Cuihua suddenly opened her eyes wide and said: "Battalion commander, do you know, there are forty people who came out together, exactly forty people, all of them are from one of our villages, and now there are only sixteen left, it was the enemy's regiment that did it, I want to avenge them, and everyone who is an official will be killed." ”
Li Yong didn't have time to argue with this He Cuihua now, and when he saw that the time was up in ten minutes, he ordered the troops to move immediately, and some soldiers said: "Battalion commander, we still have a lot of things to do, and it's a pity to leave the enemy behind." ”
Li Yong told the soldiers not to be too greedy, each platoon retreated immediately, and the main force of the enemy's 123rd Brigade would arrive immediately, and it would be broken if it was glued by the enemy.
