Chapter 249 The Battle of Xifu is an independent regiment that eats and occupies more

After Li Yong's comfort, the frightened station staff finally calmed down, but then there was a question for Li Yong to decide.

A train is going to pass through the station and head for Baoji, and now the station has been controlled by the People's Liberation Army, so of course the staff has to ask what to do?

Li Yong hurriedly asked whether it was a passenger car or a truck, and if it was a truck, what was in it? I heard the staff say that the train that is coming over soon is a grain dragon (grain train) that is going to Baoji, and I am very happy.

Recently, the troops have won several battles in a row, and the weapons and ammunition are sufficient, but what is lacking is food, people are iron, food is rigid, food is too important, and a large part of the main force of the field army's attack on Baoji is also for the grain there.

In particular, the large forces of the two columns following behind the independent regiment, although they conquered two county towns, there was only one security regiment of 1,000 men to guard these two counties, and there were not many food reserves, and even if there were some stocks, they could not meet the needs of the troops.

After the county seat is conquered, the needs of the local people must be taken into account, and the remaining materials cannot meet the logistics supply of the troops.

Li Yong, who won two county towns in a row, didn't show how happy he was, but shouted excitedly at this time: "Put the car over, let the special train enter the station to be closed (the special line for low-grade trains to make way for high-grade trains, each station has it, depending on the size of the station, decide to repair a few) Li Yuming, send a platoon, you must watch the grain car, not a single grain can be missing, these grains are the lifeblood of the army." ”

In the past, the capacity of the old-fashioned train was limited, the vehicle load and locomotive traction capacity were not good, a freight car generally hung more than 20 carriages, and each car could only load more than 30 tons, so a train according to 20 cars, each 30 tons, this grain car can probably pull more than 600 tons.

The running part of the old-fashioned car is an arch bogie, the load capacity is very limited, the vehicle with a load of more than 50 tons is only finalized after the seventies, and the vehicle of each locomotive is also very saying, not only with the traction capacity of the locomotive, but also with the braking system of the train, the train is braked by air, the jargon is called "wind", braking is a process (brake wave) that is gradually transmitted from front to back, so too many carriages will produce a large number of problems, at that time more than 20 cars have been a lot, Some film and television drama works let the old trains in the past be arranged and hung more than 50 to 100 cars, and each one can carry more than 50 tons, which is pure nonsense.

But even more than 600 tons will solve a big problem, and more than 600 tons is enough for tens of thousands of horses in the second and fourth columns to eat for ten days and eight days.

After completing this work, Li Yong asked Li Jia, the commander of the communications platoon, to immediately report the situation to Commander Wang of the Second Column: The Independent Regiment will conquer the Jiangyi Station on the Longhai Railway tonight, destroy a company of the defending enemy, the station equipment and staff are intact, and seize a special grain train with a total of more than 600 tons of grain.

Commander Wang, who received the telegram, smiled again, and said to the commanders in the column headquarters: "This independent regiment not only cut off the Longhai Railway this evening, but also captured a grain wagon, which has now solved the big problem of saving lives. ”

Several commanders also nodded, and one said: "The food of the troops can only last for one day, since yesterday, the troops have changed from two meals a day to one meal, and the long-distance march is long-distance, and the stomach is not full, and the soldiers' bodies have dropped very much, how big my worried head is, this time it's good, with this grain truck, it is enough for our two columns to eat for more than ten days." ”

Another captain also said: "Yes, the independent regiment really solved a big problem for us, yesterday I asked the fourth column, they are worse than us, today there is nothing left of food A few guys in the column still want to borrow food from us, and they are a little embarrassed to open their mouths, they also know that at this time everyone's food is enough." ”

Commander Wang Zhen said loudly: "It's okay this time, let a few guys from the fourth column come over to get food, but I want to tell them, we don't have much food, and if you want to eat enough, you have to speed up, as long as you can rush to the Longhai Railway in the shortest possible time, let them eat enough." ”

At the headquarters of the Fourth Column of the Northwest Field Army, several commanders sighed with emotion after receiving the notice of the Second Column: "Look at the independent regiment of the Second Column, it has really become a capable person who fights the world. ”

"Show off, show off, quickly send someone over to borrow the food, otherwise we won't be able to count how to solve this meal tonight, don't we also borrow the light of the independent regiment, or Wang Huzi can give us the food so happily?"

The soldiers of the two columns marched forward in great strides, like a torrent of water straight to the Longhai Railway, and Commander Wang told the independent regiment that the main force of the column was still about two days away from them, and let the independent regiment occupy and hold the station, and the task would be notified separately after the convergence with the large army.

The independent regiment that received the order, under the leadership of Li Yong and Wang Chengde, carried out a complete blockade along the railway line, and the train from Baoji could be checked and released, and there was no door to enter it, so the railway connection between Baoji and the outside world had been cut off from the day the independent regiment occupied the Jiangjiao station.

What makes people happy about this tent station is that there is also a material reserve warehouse, and there are still a lot of materials in the warehouse that have not had time to be transported, and these materials have now become the best trophies of the PLA.

Li Yong took the soldiers around the warehouse, although there was no **, but there were also a lot of things that the independent regiment could use, Li Yong asked Li Yuming to tell Sun Quanhou quickly, let him pick a useful one to take as much as he wanted, otherwise when the army arrived, these materials would have to be handed over to the public, and then it would be difficult to use anything, and he had to ask for instructions so much, it was better to get enough now.

It is not possible to do this according to the discipline of the old Eighth Route Army, and the discipline of the old Eighth Route is that whatever you have seized must be handed over to the public together, and then released by the superiors.

If that is the case, the independent regiment will not be able to share any good things, and it will not be long before it will have to get poorer and poorer like other troops, but fortunately, the regiment commander Li Yong does not have this discipline in his head, and Grand Commander Li takes it for granted that it is right to return one qi to the public, and the three major disciplines and eight points of attention are the foundation of the people's army, but, however, the independent regiment has to pick enough first, and then carry out the discipline of returning the public after picking enough.

Since the regiment commander agrees that the soldiers still have any scruples, and besides, the cadres and soldiers of the independent regiment are used to eating more and occupying more, so it is really a bit difficult for them not to take good things.

The soldiers of the baggage battalion, under the leadership of the battalion commander Sun Quanhou, swarmed up, rummaging in the warehouse, and resisting as long as they thought it would be useful to the independent regiment.

Looking at this kind of scene, political commissar Wang Chengde didn't know what to say, according to Wang Chengde's character, it was not right for the independent regiment to do this, and he, the political commissar, should stop it, but the cohesion and combat effectiveness of the current independent regiment are very high, and the ability of the regiment commander Li Yong is not to be said, and it also has a certain relationship with the strong weaponry and logistics supply of the troops.

The soldiers are all young people, and they must have a sense of superiority when they see that their troops are better than other units in terms of equipment and logistics, and it is easy for such troops to retain people.

Wang Chengde, who had no choice, had to hide far away, and Wang Chengde, who was hiding, kept persuading himself in his heart, just as if he didn't see it, as if he didn't see it, I didn't see anything.

Two days later, the brigades of the second and fourth columns arrived as scheduled, and the area around the station was crowded with people, and the local people had never seen so many soldiers, and they were so frightened that they hid at home and did not dare to come out.

The commanders of the two columns stressed to the troops that they must master good discipline, that this is not an old liberated area, and that the common people look at our people from us.

But there is no need to worry much about this, the cadres and soldiers of the army go from house to house to do work for the common people, telling everyone not to be afraid, and they also carry water and sweep the yards for the people everywhere as they did in the old liberated areas, so that in less than two days, the common people have gone from fear to liking, can the troops who work for the people everywhere be disliked?

Seeing Li Yong and Wang Chengde, Commander Wang gave a first look: "Good job, solve a big problem for the troops, or I, the commander, will be hungry." ”

Commander Wang, who was full of interest, took a large number of commanders at all levels to take a closer look at the station from the inside out, and kept asking all kinds of train-related questions to the station staff while watching, and his words revealed his love and familiarity with the station.

Except for the cadres who were with Commander Wang at the earliest, most of them were very surprised, when did the commander understand the train so well?

Wang Chengde, the political commissar of the independent regiment, was also puzzled, and the commander understood better than me not long after he arrived at the station, and it seems that I, the political commissar, have not done anything at home, and I will have to learn more from the commander in the future and work more seriously.

Wang Chengde quietly told Li Yong, who was following behind the commander like him, to his feelings, but Li Yong laughed after hearing his feelings, and the tears of laughter were about to fall.

Li Yong's smile immediately made Wang Chengde laugh, Dayong's tendon is wrong, and there is nothing wrong with what he said.

No wonder Wang Chengde didn't understand, and most of the people present didn't understand why the commander was very familiar with this station that had just been beaten, but Li Yong knew, could Li Yong not know what was going on, he lowered his voice and told Wang Chengde: "I said Lao Wang, you have done enough work, how serious do you want to be?" No matter how serious it is, it will become a dead brain, and there is a reason why the commander is familiar with the station. ‘
