Chapter 222: Brigadier Liu who suddenly arrived
In the Battle of Yichuan, the independent regiment captured a large number of prisoners, and the final count was more than 2,500 people, a dense group, all of whom were specially selected for their young age and good health.
There are more than 70,000 people in the Kuomintang Liu Kan Corps, although it is said that there are heavy casualties, but the dead are still a small number after all, most of the soldiers have been scattered, people are running everywhere in the big ditches and small trenches, and the soldiers of the independent regiment have caught and caught, and then they are all cowardly, why? The reason is very simple, I am afraid that I will not be able to serve if I catch too much.
No matter how powerful your independent regiment is, it's just a regimental unit, don't look at prisoners as a good thing, but it's not a good thing if there are too many more than you can bear.
Later, more than 2,000 people remained, and the rest were handed over to the superiors, and with the consent of the commander of the column, these prisoners were trained by the independent regiment itself.
The casualties of the independent regiment were huge, there was a lot of shortfall in personnel, and there were weapons in the battalion, but there were few people, and the independent regiment was not short of weapons in the first place, but after this battle, it was endlessly snatched back, and the weapons were even more sufficient.
Both Li Yong and Wang Chengde wanted to train this part of the personnel into soldiers of the People's Liberation Army as soon as possible so that they could replenish the troops, but they couldn't eat hot tofu in a hurry, and people's thinking had changed so well that the captured prisoners and the local militia that had been tested were incomparable.
Looking at Wang Chengde, who was very anxious, Li Yong gave him an idea, go to the 358th Brigade to find Yu Qiuli's political commissar to learn from him, and see what valuable experience they have there.
In the independent regiment, everyone knows that sometimes the words of the regiment commander Li Yong have no basis, but they are very accurate, and everyone can't figure out what the reason is, anyway, you just listen to it, basically yes.
Political commissar Wang Chengde is also the same as the soldiers, although he can't figure out how Li Yong came up with it, but he knows that he can do it, and there will be unexpected gains according to what the regiment commander said.
Fortunately, at this stage, the troops are all living together, and they are not too far from each other, and the distance between the two units of the first column and the second column is less than 10 kilometers, and the independent regiment has small jeeps, so it is very convenient to go out and hurry.
Wang Chengde took a few soldiers in a car and said that he would go, and when he arrived at the 358th Brigade of the first column, Wang Chengde was left behind by the enthusiastic political commissar Yu Qiuli and stayed for two days.
When he came back, Wang Chengde didn't say a word, and first gave Li Yong a thumbs up: "Dayong, you are still amazing, Political Commissar Yu really didn't say anything about ideological work, that method is one after another, I listened stupidly, I was really inspired, look, these notes have been written back a lot, I said Dayong, how do you know so much about Political Commissar Yu?" When did you meet him? Why didn't I know that you still knew Political Commissar Yu, besides, Political Commissar Yu didn't know you either, you hurry up and tell me, this matter is full of strange energy. ”
When did you know him? Li Yong thought, that's a long story, how to say, to say that this one-arm general will be the first oil minister of New China in the future? Say you met sixty years later?
One is that he can't and doesn't dare to say it, and the other is that no one believes him when he says it, and everyone will think that the head of the regiment is dreaming or drinking too much.
Wang Chengde continued the topic just now and said: "Political Commissar Yu was also surprised to see me go to him, and he asked me how I knew to come to him?" I told him that it was recommended by our regiment commander, and Political Commissar Yu was very interested, saying that he would have the opportunity to meet you, a regiment commander who is very famous in the entire field army, and see why you, the little regiment commander, are so powerful. ”
As soon as Li Yong heard Wang Chengde say that Political Commissar Yu Qiuli wanted to find an opportunity to meet him, this head suddenly felt a little bigger, and he didn't know whether it was a good thing or a bad thing for him to let Wang Chengde go to Political Commissar Yu to learn from him.
Who is the political commissar Yu Qiuli? The top of the people, the old qualifications of the old qualifications, and those who have a lot of eyes can be equipped in baskets, this is the senior leader of the army, but it is different from ordinary soldiers.
The soldiers don't understand and won't come to ask you, who is okay and always suspects that there is something wrong in their head of the regiment commander, isn't it looking for something to clean up?
Occasionally, there is a naughty egg like Li Jiangguo who asks if he can deal with the past, is it not easy for superiors to deal with subordinates, I don't want to say that I can deal with it by playing official.
But what should I do if the political commissar Yu Qiuli comes? How can we justify ourselves then? It's really a headache, I don't want to think about it, I can't figure it out anyway, and then I'll talk about it, will there be a road before the car reaches the mountain.
At this time, the soldiers were distributing weapons and ammunition, and everyone felt that if they could draw things back, they would have to say that they had to say that Li Jiangguo's battalion, a whole baggage regiment, and more than 100 cars had all been brought back, which provided great help to the independent regiment that had consumed a lot of money.
But the things that the first battalion got back were all communist, unlike Gao Xiang and them, the captured artillery was kept for his own use, Gao Xiang also said with a shy face: "Who let us be an artillery battalion, we don't need the artillery we got back, we can still let your infantry use it?" ”
Although everyone wants to refute it, they don't know what to say, think about it again, forget it, he can say whatever he likes, you don't have to make Gao Xiang angry when you argue with him.
Other battalion commanders and instructors also rushed into their hands to get equipment, and these people knew very well that they had to make more money and occupy more in peacetime, so that they could play a role at critical times, and they would not be worried when they were fighting.
But things are not all the same, and some battalion commanders and instructors are once again sad, who, the battalion commander of the machine gun battalion, Wei Gang, and the instructors of their battalion.
When the two of them sounded the trumpet in the regiment, they were determined to grab more, grab more, rob, rob, and rob more, **, it's a big loss to get some good things back with such a big casualty.
The machine gun battalion has always been used throughout the whole process, and the soldiers of the whole battalion have eliminated a lot of enemies, and they are the most important force of the independent regiment when they hold their positions, but they are also the key objects of care of the Kuomintang offensive troops.
Although Wei Gang's battalion did not lose more than half of its strength like the fifth battalion, its casualties also exceeded one-third.
Things were different from what the two of them thought, starting from the charge, the two of them took the whole battalion of soldiers and did nothing else, one thought of grabbing machine guns, the machine gun battalion was scattered in platoons, Wei Gang carried a submachine gun, and dozens of people from the battalion headquarters were scattered everywhere.
After robbing it all night, the heavy machine guns were brought back, there were Makqin and Type 92, but Wei Gang didn't have a smile on his face at all, the regiment commander said, the heavy machine guns in the future should be distributed to several infantry battalions, and their machine gun battalions should use anti-aircraft machine guns as the main weapon, but where is this anti-aircraft machine gun?
Looking for it, looking for it, dozens of miles of land was done, and he was almost three feet into the ground, and he didn't look at any anti-aircraft machine guns, which made Wei Gang depressed enough, and when it was almost dawn, Wei Da's battalion commander's temper was about to explode, and he used the leather shoes on his feet to kick something, and cut the prisoners who came over for questioning with the butt of the gun "click, click" a few times.
When I was fighting, I also scolded, why don't you *** Kuomintang so many teams be equipped with anti-aircraft machine guns? I can't grab it now if I want to, huh? Why don't you equip it?
Wei Gang's rifle butt made these prisoners tremble when they were caught and questioned, and they didn't know which tendon was wrong with the commander of the People's Liberation Army.
The captives thought about it, and they heard it over there, didn't the Eighth Route Army not allow the prisoners, what's wrong? The PLA commander I met today is a little wrong, be careful, hit a few times until it's nothing, and if you don't get one right, you will be too wronged.
Wei Gang's soldiers in their battalion looked funny, but no one persuaded him, knowing that the battalion commander was unhappy, and at this time he might have to be scolded if he tried to persuade him, he would beat him if he liked to fight, anyway, the political commissar and instructor were not around.
The soldiers of the independent regiment all know that if they beat and scold the prisoners and search the prisoners' pockets, the regiment commander Li Yong doesn't care about such things, not only does he not care, but he may even go with you when he encounters them.
In Li Yong's words, this matter depends on how to understand it, you say that it is wrong to search the prisoner's pocket, but what if he has a weapon on him? How can you know if you don't search? Isn't that a threat to the personal safety of our soldiers? Therefore, the search must be searched, and sometimes the benefits brought by the search are called battlefield seizures.
The soldiers who are familiar with the temper of the regiment commander love to be with Li Yong, especially those old soldiers, they love to be together when they fight, and they love to be together after the battle, nothing else, no matter what they do with the regiment commander, they are enjoyable, one word, cool.
When the day dawned, the machine gun battalions that were chasing out had already encountered the brother units of the field army, and Wei Gang scolded and walked back, and he couldn't stop muttering: "Why don't you say that such a large regiment of the Kuomintang is not equipped with anti-aircraft machine guns?" ”
Fortunately, their battalion set out as a platoon, and although the harvest was not big this night, it was not in vain, and the soldiers of the other platoons finally got back two anti-aircraft machine guns and some bullets, but it was too little compared with the consumption of the machine gun battalion in this battle.
Wei Gang, who returned to the regiment, and Li Yong, the commander of the regiment, grinded a few times, meaning that they wanted not to return the heavy machine guns to other infantry battalions, but to equip them first, and when they had enough weapons, they would return them to others.
Li Yong didn't like how to take care of him, and he was trained back with a stinky hug, and Wei Gang felt happy when he was trained from the regiment headquarters.
Oops, fortunately, Li Jiangguo, Zhang Jinsong and Gao Xiang are not here, otherwise their own little thing would have been enough for them to promote for half a month.
On this day, Li Yong was busy with some messy things in the morning, and suddenly a soldier reported that a chief had come to see him.
Before Li Yong's head could be turned, there was a burst of laughter from outside the door, and a hearty and somewhat familiar voice came in, Li Yong raised his eyes and looked, good guy, it was none other than his old acquaintance, Brigade Commander Liu of the Third Vertical and Ninth Brigade who he had known since his debut. Thank you for your recommendation votes and bow to everyone. v
