Chapter 42: Luring the Enemy
After listening to Li Yong's method, everyone thought that the company commander really had something in his head, if he really did this, it would be enough for the enemy to choke, and it was very likely that the enemy's cavalry regiment would be wiped out.
In the case of all the gΓΊΓ², a few points were added, one was to give full play to the role of hand grenades, and to arrange mine arrays with cluster grenades in front of the large trenches.
The second is that each fighter carries an extra rifle, because the rifle has a long range and can inflict as much damage as possible on the enemy at a long distance, and then use a submachine gun to strafe when the enemy rushes nearby.
3. Trenching was to be carried out at night, and in order to cause the suddenness of the battle it was necessary to dig it overnight. In the end, Li Yong told the platoon commanders that the grenades consumed in the last battle could be replenished for each platoon, but only more than 5,000 rounds of submachine gun bullets and 1,500 light machine gun bullets were captured, and the total was only more than 7,000 rounds, which was only one-third of the consumption of the last battle, and there was no way to have only so many.
The next day, the special service company carried out a day's preparation and combat mobilization, and in the evening after dinner, all the people set out.
The soldiers of this heavy platoon and the platoon commander Sun Quanhou were very excited, they didn't think about how difficult this battle was at all, they just thought that with the company commander here, they would definitely win the battle, and the rest was a matter of how much they captured, and many soldiers in the spy company thought so.
After more than ten days of education and transformation, the platoon of recruits has also been issued with weapons, Li Yong has no way to do it, if time permits, he should train for a while, but now the ratio of friends and enemies is too great, so it can only be hard, I hope these new liberation fighters will not drop the chain for themselves.
Most of these soldiers are children of poor families, and after ideological reform, they have agreed to stay and join the Eighth Route Army, and they are still used to being called the Eighth Route Army, not the People's Liberation Army, and each person has a rifle and four grenades.
Li Yong told the soldiers of the recruit platoon, it's not that we don't believe in everyone, don't give everyone good weapons, there are dozens of submachine guns and nine light machine guns in the platoon, but there are only guns without bullets, even if they are fired, they can't be used, I hope the new comrades understand, as long as there are good weapons in the future, they will send them to the comrades as soon as possible, if this battle is smooth, the captured weapons are up to everyone, Li Yong said that the soldiers of the recruit platoon are very excited, saying that they want to win more battles and have more guns.
In addition, more than 100 people in the recruit platoon do not have military uniforms, and they are still wearing the clothes of the Kuomintang troops.
After a night march, when the day was about to dawn, the troops arrived near the enemy's grain station, Li Yong asked the troops to hide well, and they could not do anything during the day, everyone hurried to rest and recover, and the reconnaissance platoon sent scouts around, and he and his instructor Wang Chengde went to see the terrain.
After repeated comparisons, Li Yong and Wang Chengde selected a long and narrow open land about one kilometer away from the enemy's grain station, which is the only way for the enemy's cavalry to pass through, although it is a long and narrow terrain, but it is also several hundred meters long, if you want to block all the enemy's cavalry, you have to dig up, the labor intensity will be very great, but there is no other way.
A whole day passed quietly, Li Yong and the soldiers gnawed two dry foods, Hu Xiaolian brought a lot of things, but these things didn't even eat Hu Xiaolian herself, there were pickles and water next to Li Yong, and then there was a piece of cooked horse meat, and the soldiers didn't say anything about their envy.
Li Yong himself feels very good, it's really nice to have a woman by his side, it's cool to have someone to worry about this march and fight.
Only Li Jiangguo asked secretly: "I said company commander, when did you hook up, why don't I know, I haven't heard any rumors, this secrecy work is very powerful." β
Li Yong said unashamedly: "What is hookup, this is the relationship between comrades, and the word hookup is wrong." β
Li Jiangguo pursed his lips: "The feelings between comrades? Then why didn't she bring me some water and pickles? Company commander, did you hook up when she was recuperating from her injuries at home? β
Seeing Li Jiangguo and Li Yong biting their ears together, and they were still mysterious, Hu Xiaolian came over and asked, "Platoon Commander Li, what are you talking about?" Li Jiangguo coughed a few times and said, "Ah, it's nothing, it's all a trivial matter." After saying that, he walked away with a hippie smile.
A whole day passed slowly in the anxious waiting of Li Yong and the soldiers, and as soon as the day was dark, Li Yong ordered the troops to start moving immediately, and the reconnaissance line was on guard.
Suddenly the position was boiling, hundreds of people dug in platoons, Li Yong and Wang Chengde and Li Yuming's police squad dug a ditch together, fortunately a lot of war horses were captured, and the soldiers put the excavated soil in big pockets for the horses to carry away.
I didn't have idle all night, and at about four o'clock in the morning, a big ditch more than three meters deep and more than eight meters wide was finally completed, and the soldiers, including Li Yong and Wang Chengde, were tired and staggered one by one, and their clothes were soaked with sweat.
Li Yong told everyone that they could not rest now, so they hurriedly dug two more trenches at an interval of 50 meters behind the big ditch, and the soldiers cheered up and continued to work, Li Yong told Wang Hu, you five platoons should not dig trenches, and go to the front of the dug ditch to bury grenades.
Grenades are bundled in three, the two bundles of grenades are connected together with ropes, the grenades are buried separately in the ground, only the ropes are left on the ground, and the ropes are supported by small wooden sticks more than ten centimeters high, which means that the enemy's cavalry hooves will ring the grenades.
A group of six, a total of 200 groups of 1,200 grenades, should be buried as far as possible, with an interval of about 20 meters, and all the grenades should be buried from the ditch to the front 300 meters, and the distance from the planted grenades to the ditch dug should be more than 300 meters.
Li Yong's idea was to open fire as long as the enemy came within the effective range of the rifle, and to use rifles and grenades to kill and injure as many of the enemy's living forces as possible at a distance of more than 300 meters in front of the ditch, and then use automatic weapons to destroy the enemy when the enemy rushed to the vicinity.
The enemy's advantage is the speed of the war horse, as long as the enemy's speed is gone, it is still certain to win this battle with the ferocious firepower of the spy company.
Wang Laohu gave the order to take the soldiers of their platoon to bury grenades, and Li Yong told Gao Xiang's artillery platoon to dig a firing position fifty meters behind the second trench, and each of the four positions should be connected with each other and the trenches in front of them.
When the firing positions of the two trenches and the artillery platoon had been dug and it was already dawn, Li Yong asked everyone to hurry up the big ditch with branches and grass, and then spread a thin layer of soil on it, so that as long as they were a little farther away, they would not be able to find the big ditch.
Both the Red Army and the Eighth Route Army are most accustomed to fighting at night, including the Korean War later, why do we do this, because our army's firepower is inferior to that of the opponent, if our army's firepower can be enough to suppress the opponent, of course, it is better to fight during the day, which is also conducive to the play of firepower.
Li Yong's special service company is strong in firepower, and it is necessary to give full play to its strengths in battle, so the special service company must choose to engage the enemy with good visibility during the day.
The specific arrangement of the entry into the position was: one, two, three, four, and the first trench were discharged. Machine gun platoon and reconnaissance platoon, five platoons guard the second line of trenches, the second line of trenches is dominated by machine gun platoons, each heavy machine gun is spaced 30 meters apart, each machine gun squad except for the shooter and deputy shooter, the rest of the five fighters each have a rifle.
The fifth platoon and the reconnaissance platoon were the company reserves, the artillery platoon was in the rear firing position, the baggage platoon and the recruit platoon were led by instructor Wang Chengde to besiege the enemy's grain station, and the health team and cooking squad were far away from the battlefield and were responsible for managing the horses.
After resting for more than an hour, when the soldiers' bodies were almost restored, the replatoon and the platoon of recruits set off under the leadership of instructor Wang Chengde, and after twenty minutes, the battle at the grain station began.
Li Yong asked each platoon to eat dry food and drink water to restore the body, the enemy at the grain station only had one company of more than 100 people, under the siege of our army, at this time it was time to use the telephone to seek reinforcement from the regiment commander, if the enemy's main force moved quickly, it would be more than half an hour to reach the current special service company's blocking position.
