Chapter Seventy-Three: The Second Regiment II

Sun Quanhou sat on the stool with a smile and didn't squeak whatever others said, but this heart was as beautiful as eating honey, hum, what happened to the cooking class? Isn't it the same thing that comes out of the cooking squad with shell guns and binoculars, there are a few platoon-level cadres in your combat unit like this, and none of them are there, and the people who came to the meeting are all company-level cadres who don't look at a few with binoculars.

The Northwest Field Army has the smallest number of personnel and the worst weaponry among the major field armies, and sometimes there is no distinction between officers and men, and cadres at the platoon and company level also carry submachine guns.

If these words were put on Li Jiangguo, this guy would definitely shout them out loud, but Lao Sun's personality is unassuming, he just sits there with his head bored and doesn't say a word, enjoying everyone's envy, well, what's the use of being a tiger, this feeling is not bad.

Li Jiangguo deliberately took out a cigarette roll at this time, then took out an American-made lighter from his pocket, pressed his thumb, and a blue flame came out, lit the cigarette and took a sharp puff, and then spit out a few smoke rings at the cadres of the Second Regiment beside him.

This time, the whole venue was even more chaotic, Li Yong looked at Li Jiangguo's movements and felt funny, this was too showy, a few people who were particularly familiar with Li Jiangguo came up and grabbed his lighter, and Li Jiangguo shrank his head and hid back and forth in the crowd.

When Li Yong was captured, the unit responsible for luring the enemy was drawn and formed, but they all knew instructor Wang Chengde and platoon commander Li Jiangguo.

Instructor Wang Chengde was an officer of the political department of the regiment headquarters in the past, and Li Jiangguo was a platoon commander of the guard company, and these people who came to the meeting were very familiar with the two of them; Li Jiangguo was usually very popular, and he had a good relationship with the cadres of other battalions and companies.

When the spy company was first established, more than 20 people were selected from their various companies, and at this time, they all went to report to their old leaders about the special service company during this period.

Seeing that everyone was in a mess and the venue was made into a miasma, Regiment Leader Zhao knocked on the table: "What are you shouting about, look at what you can, and grab it, the equipment of the special service company is not issued by the superiors, it was seized by the people themselves, what are you looking for, you can also get some back." ”

As soon as the regiment commander spoke, the venue immediately fell silent, and after looking at the personnel of the spy company, Regiment Commander Zhao asked, "Why are there so many people in the spy company?" How many platoons do you have? How many are there now? ”

Instructor Wang Chengde replied: "Report to the regiment commander, our company now has nine platoons and 825 personnel. ”

As soon as Wang Chengde's words were finished, the venue that had just calmed down immediately became chaotic again, and even Head Zhao was a little confused, this guy, more than 800 people in nine platoons, is this still a company? Didn't you say that there were more than 400 people, when will it become more than 800 people again, and these two people will still scatter beans and become soldiers? The personnel can top our two battalions, and the spy company is a bit too big.

Commander Zhao thought for a while and said, "Tell everyone about the establishment of your company, and let everyone listen to it, how to make so many people." ”

Wang Chengde carefully explained the establishment of the spy company, and this time the venue was even more chaotic, because the spy company not only had a large number of people, but also 12 heavy machine guns and 12 mortars, and the firepower was outrageously powerful.

Seeing that everyone was messing around, Head Zhao was a little embarrassed and said to Li Yong, who had not spoken: "I said this Dayong, do you see if you even have some blood, no more, no less, how much, these people's eyes are red, if you don't have a little blood, I'm afraid these boys can't let you go, I'm afraid I won't be able to control it when the time comes, you see that we can't even have a meeting now." ”

After saying this, Regiment Commander Zhao himself felt a little embarrassed, this was obviously asking for something from a company-level unit below, and he was a little shameless as the regiment commander.

Li Yong understood very well in his heart the meaning of the regiment commander to let them shed some blood, and when they heard the regiment commander say this, everyone remembered that the backbone of the spy company had not said a word until now, and everyone came in to patronize and greet the familiar soldiers, and they all forgot that Li Yong, the company commander, they didn't know anyone, and if they wanted to fight the idea of the landlord and old wealth of the spy company, they had to speak to the company commander.

is still the regiment commander is powerful, and his head is good, this sentence has brought the problem to the root, and if the company commander does not speak, it is in vain for others to follow and shout.

Li Yong smiled and replied: "That's it, regiment commander, we still have hundreds of Type 38 rifles in our company, don't we have three battalions in our regiment, one battalion gives one hundred rifles, and each rifle is equipped with one hundred rounds of ammunition." ”

The cadres of the Second Regiment did not expect Li Yong to be so generous, this shot is 300 rifles, and each with 100 rounds of ammunition, you must know that each soldier of the Second Regiment now has a maximum of dozens of bullets, and the few are only a dozen, and the rifles are also messy and have all models, and the 38 type is the best rifle of that era, which can solve a big problem.

The venue was silent for a while, and then a cadre said: "Company Commander Li, it's all a family, we won't say thank you, we will let these weapons exert their power." ”

Li Yong replied: "It's nothing, our spy company is also part of the Second Regiment, aren't all your soldiers here, giving it to you is for yourself." ”

As soon as Li Yong finished speaking, a cadre said a little embarrassedly: "Company Commander Li, you see that you are quite generous, a battalion has a hundred rifles, but what about our guard company and reconnaissance company?" We are also poor. ”

As soon as this cadre's words were finished, there was laughter in the venue, and Head Zhao also smiled and said: "Heh, it's a little shameless, I don't have to ask for it." ”

Li Yong also smiled: "Even if I didn't think it through, the guard company and the reconnaissance company will add fifty rifles to each company, and the bullets will be the same as one hundred rounds per rifle, and I will give you two companies ten submachine guns each, with two hundred rounds of ammunition each." ”

The two company commanders were happy to hear that in addition to the fifty rifles, there were also ten submachine guns, and they really didn't open their mouths in vain, the spy company did have goods.

Li Yong thought about it again and said to Regiment Commander Zhao: "Regiment Commander, how many heavy machine guns does our regiment have?" How many bullets are there per heavy machine gun? ”

Regiment Commander Zhao said: "Not counting the fact that your spy company only has four heavy machine guns in the whole regiment, each with only 300 rounds of ammunition, Dayong, compared with your spy company, our regiment is really poor." ”

Li Yong: "Commander, do you think this will work?" Our regiment does not count the eleven companies in our company, and our company still has six captured Type 92 heavy machine guns that are not used, plus the original four in the regiment are ten, the reconnaissance company does not use heavy machine guns, and the remaining ten companies have one for each company, and we bring 2,000 rounds of ammunition for each heavy machine gun. ”

As soon as Li Yong finished speaking, the cadres of the Second Regiment happily said to Li Yong: "Oh, Company Commander Li, you have become our great benefactor, and now the firepower of our regiment will be greatly strengthened." ”

Regiment Commander Zhao is also very happy, the whole regiment has ten heavy machine guns plus an extra 400 rifles, the firepower of the whole regiment has been greatly strengthened, he is not wrong, this Li Yong is really not simple, in a few months the troops have grown from more than 20 people to more than 800 people, now his own regiment has more than 2,000 people, other columns do not know, in the second column must be the largest number of people, and it is also the most powerful regiment.

Li Yong was also very excited when he saw that everyone was happy, his efforts were not in vain, and he could solve some problems for the troops, and then said: "We even arrived a few days earlier than the main force, we have not been idle at all these days, and we have paid grain everywhere, which is not bad, we have got hundreds of thousands of catties of grain and a large number of livestock from Suiyuan, and these grains will be handed over to the field army headquarters early tomorrow morning, but we are a little selfish and leave some for our regiment, and we don't dare to keep more than 10,000 catties, and some pigs and sheep or something." ”

As soon as Li Yong finished speaking, the venue became more enthusiastic, and the cadres of the second regiment came over and said to Li Yong: "Company Commander Li, we have basically not seen meat since we arrived in Longdong, and the small rice is also a dry meal without an accurate number. ”

The Northwest Field Army went west to Longdong to fight, regained a large amount of lost territory, and dealt a heavy blow to the Kuomintang troops from Qinghai and Ningxia, but the Longdong area was a bitter cold place, and it was very difficult to supply the large army of tens of thousands of people, and after the battle line was extended, the grain transported from Shanxi could not keep up, and the troops were hungry and full, and it was a matter of time for them to be hungry.

As the saying goes, 'only when there is food can we gather troops,' food is the guarantee and prerequisite for the development of the troops, which is that the troops of the Eighth Route Army can still maintain high combat effectiveness in this situation, and other troops have long since dispersed, so both cadres and soldiers were happy when they heard that the spies had brought back a lot of food, so they almost threw Li Yong and Wang Chengde up and cheered.

Regiment Commander Zhao was happy in his heart, this spy company had solved a big problem as soon as it came, its personnel, weapons, ammunition, and food had been replenished, and the combat effectiveness of the entire Second Regiment had more than doubled.

Seeing the chaotic venue, he patted the table and said, "Everyone, be quiet, now I announce the order of the Noji headquarters." ”

It was strange for everyone to hear that the regiment commander was going to announce the order of the headquarters, how did the order of the headquarters come down to the regiment? In the past, all the regiment commanders announced were orders from the brigade headquarters, and the regimental-level units were too small, so they would not let the Noji headquarters give orders if there was anything.

Zhao Jin looked at everyone's strange expressions, and did not explain, and then took out a telegram and read: The Second Column and the Second Regiment of the Fourth Brigade, the special service company under your department fought bravely and skillfully in the Battle of Longdong, repeatedly performed miraculous feats, dragged down the enemy's vital forces with a small number of troops, effectively cooperated with the main force in the operation, and ensured the smooth supply line of the main force.
