Li Yong transferred four of the five infantry battalions around Yiwu, leaving only one battalion and letting them fight in as an assault force and a tank battalion, and use them as accompanying infantry for armored troops.
Looking at Li Jiangguo, the commander of the first battalion standing in front of him, and the instructors of their battalion, Li Yong said word by word: "Do you know why you left your first battalion behind?" The reason is very simple, because, it is your battalion of soldiers who are surrounded by bandits in Yiwu City, and it is your Li Jiangguo's soldiers, and if you want to save it, you have to save it with your battalion, and if the battle is fought well, you will be counted as meritorious service, and your merits and demerits will be offset, and the brigade party committee will not hold you accountable, and if the battle is not good, you two will no longer be battalion commanders and instructors, and come to the brigade headquarters to be guards for me and the political commissar, do you understand? ”
Li Jiangguo and the instructors of their battalion stood straight and replied loudly together: "Please rest assured that the brigade commander, the political commissar, and the brigade party committee will be assured that our first battalion will definitely be able to complete the task, enter the county town of Yiwu, and eliminate the bandits." ”
Wang Chengde, the political commissar beside him, told the two: "Your task is not easy, all the combat plans of our brigade are based on whether you can defeat the enemy in a smooth way, only if your first battalion and tank battalion complete the task, the other battalions can exert their might, the position we are in now is about five kilometers away from Yiwu County, after the battle starts, you must rush forward with all your might, pay attention to maintaining your body, pay attention to mastering the rhythm of the battle, go." ”
After accepting the task, Li Jiangguo and his instructor left, but political commissar Wang Chengde said with a smile: "Dayong, you guy is still selfish. ”
Li Yong smiled noncommittally, how could there be no selfishness, the first battalion had lost more than 200 soldiers, and the battalion commander and instructor reported to their superiors a month later, as a grassroots commander, this was a great dereliction of duty. Although there are objective factors of one kind or another, they will inevitably be dealt with, Li Jiangguo and the instructors of their battalion are very good, and they are also one of the first 20 or so veterans of the Duli Brigade, Li Yong does not want to withdraw both of them because of this incident.
How can Li Jiangguo and the instructors not be dealt with, or if they are dealt with lightly, it is very simple, and they have to be made meritorious service, so when arranging combat missions, Li Yong put the first battalion in the same position as the tank battalion. As the first assault development echelon of the main attack, it will be easy to do as long as the first battalion has made meritorious contributions, and he can also have a reason to explain when the superiors ask him in the future, this is Li Yong's current little caution, which can also be called selfishness.
Li Yong's little selfishness was discovered by the careful political commissar Wang Chengde. But it is undeniable that Wang Chengde, who has always adhered to principles, did not say anything. Instead, he smiled and acquiesced.
The large army of 10,000 people nervously prepared after the order was given. The big trucks of the four infantry battalions roared out, and the brigade commander Li Yong only gave them half an hour, so the troops had to maneuver behind the bandits' butts in the shortest possible time, and there was no time to delay.
Under the leadership of battalion commander Jiang Tiexiong and instructor Li Yuming, the tank unit of the whole army's assault force is racing against time to conduct pre-war inspections.
There are more than 100 tanks and armored vehicles in the Duli Brigade combined, although the scale is not small, most of them are old models, and all kinds of problems are frequent. It put a lot of pressure on the logistical support, and after a few days of long marches, the soldiers in charge of maintenance were busy.
The Duli brigade did not have large flatbed trailers, and long-distance maneuvers relied entirely on the motorized tracks of tanks. This increases the burden on the maintenance and repair of parts, especially the running part and suspension device, which has a lot of loss.
The battalion commander Jiang Tiexiong is an expert in the armored corps, not only is he an expert in warfare, but also very good at the management and maintenance of tanks, which is much stronger than the instructor Li Yuming, and thanks to this old armored corps, the tanks and armored vehicles of the Duli brigade did not lie down on the way, otherwise let alone fighting, even whether they can reach Yiwu or not will have to say twice.
The tank battalion seems to be very majestic and bullish in battle, but this majesty and bullish spirit comes from the daily maintenance and maintenance bit by bit, after many battles, Li Yuming, the instructor who was called the mud leg by the Kuomintang soldiers, also understood the importance, isn't it, this kid is babbling and shouting at his soldiers:
"Hey, hurry up, fill up the water and oil, wipe the gun again, can your car still work, can it be repaired? No, hurry up and let that kid from Sanniu bring someone over, hurry up. ”
Sanniu is the company commander of the full-time repair company of the Duli Brigade, and is the most authoritative repair unit in the brigade, responsible for the maintenance of all technical equipment in the brigade.
The tank battalion was busy, the soldiers were sweating all over their heads, and the walking parts, suspension parts, engines, exhaust fans, oil and water circuits, artillery, ammunition, etc., were checked one by one.
The other troops were not idle, the battle was about to start, no one dared to be careless, the artillery battalion was building a position, the battalion commander Gao Xiang pushed his baby cannon one by one to launch the position, the cannon hoe stretched out to the sides, and the muzzle of the black hole pointed forward.
There are more than 100 artillery pieces of all sizes, of which the main force is more than 80 105 howitzers, which is the best front-line suppression artillery of the US army during World War II, with a firing range of more than 10,000 meters.
And the first battalion of infantry, which is accompanied by tanks, is not so troublesome, the whole battalion is already ready for battle, in the words of the old soldiers, with a rifle on his back and a few garlic-pounding hammers (grenades) hanging on the back of his buttocks, he can leave, and the battalion commander Li Jiangguo is doing combat mobilization for the soldiers of their battalion:
"Comrades, the brigade commander and political commissar have given our battalion the task of the main attack, this is a trust in our battalion, and it is also a spur to us, everyone knows that it is the soldiers of our battalion who are besieged by bandits in Yiwu, and if they are not rescued, I, who am the battalion commander, have no face to see people, and today I am here to make a military order with you, if I can't enter Yiwu, I Li Jiangguo will not come back."
Li Jiangguo is really anxious, and he is also ruthless, and he wants to take their battalion of soldiers to play with the bandits besieging Yiwu.
Just when Duli's main force was fully preparing, the battle in Yiwu County was still breaking out, and the bandits besieged Yiwu for more than a month, with a large number of casualties, and no progress had been made, which made Iliel, who was anxious to pull the team away, anxious, and on this day Iliel and several other bandit leaders worked out a strategy.
After more than a month of entanglement with the People's Liberation Army in the Yiwu region, both sides of the enemy and the enemy were clear about each other's strengths and weaknesses, and Iliel gradually got to know Hu Qingshan and his soldiers.
The PLA troops stationed in Yiwu have strong firepower and the soldiers' will to fight is tenacious, which is very difficult to gnaw, but the PLA units also have weaknesses, first, they are sparsely manned and cannot withstand long-term attrition, and second, the range of infantry light weapons is insufficient.
From the above two points, Iliel summed up a law of the People's Liberation Army's war, the communist army likes to play close combat, and every time they fight, they must put the opponent at a distance of about dozens of meters before shooting.
This is the characteristic of the PLA, and it is also a weakness in another aspect, so how can we start from the weakness of the PLA?
After thinking about it for a long time, Iliel came up with a solution, and many times experience has proved that it is stupid to rush hard against the firepower of the communist army, so the scale of the attacking troops should not be too large, and the number of personnel should not be too large, and the purpose of harassment and killing can be done.
A few fast horses galloped over, aiming straight for the positions held by the soldiers of the first and second platoons, and strangely enough, there was no one on the horses, just a few horses with empty saddles.
The warriors were very strange, what do bandits mean, what are they doing with a few war horses and running over like this? Can it also play a role in harassment?
The war horse ran closer and closer, the soldiers all straightened their necks to see the excitement, to see what new tricks the bandits had played, and an accident happened inadvertently, the running war horse was only less than a hundred meters away from the front of the position, and I saw a few people from the other side of the war horse, these bandits were holding their usual shell guns, as the saying goes, the box cannon guys, aimed at the soldiers on the position.
The horsemen on the horse did not need to aim at all, the weapons in their hands flicked their hands, and the sound of gunfire continued, and in the sound of gunfire, the first few soldiers who leaned out of the fortifications to see the excitement fell, and several horses circled in front of the position, and then quickly ran back.
This made the warriors angry, it turned out that it was not the war horse with an empty saddle that ran over, but the bandits used their superb riding skills to hide themselves under the belly of the horse on the other side.
There were just a few war horses, no one paid attention, besides, a few horses ran in front of the empty position, and the gap between the horses and the horses was very large, and the speed of the war horses was very fast, and it was difficult for bullets to hit, so the bandits took advantage of the loopholes.
Is there a war, both sides are calculating their opponents, Hu Qingshan and the soldiers are taking advantage of the weaknesses of the bandits, and Iriel and his bandits are also looking for the shortcomings of the PLA.
After more than a month of fighting, the bandits felt that the PLA liked to fight close combat, perhaps because of habit, or because of the insufficient range of small arms.
This gave Iliel's imagination room to play, and the communist army's weapons did not have enough range, so they targeted this weakness.
Old folks, referral tickets are also important. (To be continued.) )
