When he came back the next morning, the battalion commander Gao Xiang mysteriously said that there was a situation to report to the regiment commander and political commissar. The full-text and ad-free novels are all biquge.info on Aishang Novel Network

"God really opened his eyes, it didn't take long for the commandos of our battalion to get to the city and they got an ammunition depot, and when I went in, it was full of good things, and this is not a place where there are a lot of anti-aircraft machine guns and bullets placed on the horns, all of which are new goods smeared with butter, do you think their Kuomintang is stupid? With such good weapons and equipment, why don't you take them out against us? ”

Political commissar Wang Chengde said with a little cry and laughter: "Don't talk nonsense, you kid, what Kuomintang is stupid or not, no one is stupid, the Kuomintang Shoubaoji only has one 144 brigade, and they already have the little men and horses that can be equipped, no matter how good the weapon is, no one is useless, it can only be an ornament." ”

Hearing Gao Xiang say this, the eyes of the regiment commander Li Yong were about to light up, and the problem of insufficient air defense force had plagued the independent regiment for some time, and it had not been effectively solved.

Whether it is the Eighth Route Army or the People's Liberation Army during the Liberation War, weapons and equipment must be captured from the enemy, and the enemy does not have your Eighth Route Army in their hands, and no matter how capable they are, they will not be able to give birth.

Before fighting Baoji, Li Yong still moved his mind a little, and such a large material supply base in Baoji may have the weapons and equipment needed by the independent regiment.

Later, as soon as I heard that my independent regiment was the reserve of the column, I didn't think about it in this regard, and when I was a reserve, I couldn't get into the city, and if I couldn't get into the city, I couldn't grab good things, the reason was very simple.

However, thanks to the artillery battalion of Gao Xiang, otherwise the independent regiment could only pick the rest and eat the leftovers.

Now I still let myself guess correctly, Baoji really has air defense weapons, and the fact that the Kuomintang troops are not equipped with these weapons is not only due to the lack of personnel, but also has a certain relationship with the fact that our PLA does not have aircraft.

However, the People's Liberation Army does not have planes, and the Kuomintang troops do, and this batch of weapons will be too effective for the troops, and if these weapons can be equipped, the combat effectiveness of the entire independent regiment will be raised to a higher level, and it will also have a certain confidence to deal with the enemy's air raids.

Li Yong couldn't hold back his excitement, and said to Gao Xiang a little nervously: "Have you sent someone from the warehouse to take care of it?" ”

Gao Xiang: "Commander, I've been fighting with you for so long, haven't you ever eaten fat pork and never seen a fat pig run?" Haven't seen the fat pig run and haven't seen the pig hum? Don't worry, you can't lose the fat meat, I left all the more than 100 people in our battalion there, and when I left, I told them that this big ammunition depot is our regiment's, and no one can go without the order of the regiment commander, so this time you should rest assured. ”

Li Yong's depressed mood finally became cheerful, Gao Xiang This guy is long-minded, always thinking about getting benefits, that's right, when do you expect your superiors to send that, the Year of the Monkey?

"Li Yuming, inform the two guard platoons, hurry up and eat, and after eating, we will set off Gao Xiang What treasures are in the big ammunition depot they got."

After 10 minutes, the two guard platoons were assembled, and more than a dozen jeeps rushed out of the place where the independent regiment was stationed.

Every time there is such a thing, the political commissar Wang Chengde does not follow the cooperation, and the practices of Li Yong and others are more or less suspected of violating discipline. Anyway, hurt the enthusiasm of the soldiers, no matter what, my political commissar is still a little derelict in his duties, and I don't know what happened this time, Wang Chengde also got in the car and set off with Li Yong.

With Gao Xiang and a few people leading the way, it didn't take long for Li Yong, Wang Chengde and the soldiers of the two guard platoons to arrive at the large ammunition depot occupied by the artillery battalion.

When they arrived, it was exactly as Gao Xiang said, more than 100 people in their artillery battalion guarded this large ammunition depot tightly, and there were a few seals on the gate, which read "Captured by the Independent Regiment of the Second Column".

The people of the independent regiment are very accustomed to this style, and the benefits that fall into the hands of Li Yong and others are like meat in the mouths of wolves, and there is no door to spit it out.

The two platoon commanders who led the team to guard the warehouse were both old men in the independent regiment, Li Yong pointed to the seal on the gate and laughed and said: "You two boys have done a good job, and if there is a situation in the future, you will also handle it in the same way, this time I will praise it verbally once." ”

Then he and Wang Chengde, Gao Xiang and Li Yuming and a few others asked the soldiers to open the door and couldn't wait to walk in.

The two praised platoon commanders muttered a little: "Hmph, I've heard that our commander will come here and give you a verbal praise at every turn, which is good, our regiment commander has also learned." ”

When they entered the warehouse, everyone was dumbfounded, and even the well-informed Li Yong was a little confused, if you want to say that it has to be the Kuomintang troops, the material reserves are too rich, enough for more than 100,000 people in the field army to use two years of materials and food reserves. It's a mountain of piles.

Most of the people present had never seen such a thing when they were so old, Li Yuming twitched his teeth a few times, and couldn't help but say: "Mom, this is too much, and there is not so much food in our village that we have beaten for a year." ”

Gao Xiang said with a smile: "Li Yuming, don't brag, there are only a few hundred people in your village?" Not to mention the grain that your village threshes in a year, even the grain that is threshed in three or five years is not as much as what is in the warehouse now. ”

This big warehouse is divided into several compartments, and everyone comes in to see that it is just some grain, and then go inside is the treasure that Gao Xiang said.

The blue and black flickering body of the gun, and the yellow and clear bullets made Wang Chengde, who is known as the most unmoved person, excitedly stepped forward and came over, and he couldn't put it down when he touched it here and there.

Li Yong asked Li Yuming and a few soldiers to count carefully, and the anti-aircraft machine guns placed here were unboxed and unboxed, adding up to more than fifty in total, all of which were new goods that had not been used at one time.

Li Yong's first feeling was that this time it was issued again, and these weapons were all urgently added by the independent regiment: "Li Yuming, notify the old grandson of the baggage battalion and ask them to send some trucks over to pull the machine guns away first, and then talk about the rest later." ”

Li Yong, who did this, was still a little selfish and was making a mistake, don't look at the independent regiment to surround this big warehouse, it seems to be the same as his own home, but this is not safe, the discipline of the People's Liberation Army is that it will be captured and returned to the Communist Party, and then redistributed.

If Commander Wang and the other chiefs know about this and give you an order to hand over the warehouse to the Independent Regiment, what else can you do? It's better to swallow the benefits while no one knows about it, anyway, other weapons and equipment independent regiments are not so urgently needed.

It was not too far from the station of the Separate Regiment, and it didn't take long for several large trucks to drive over, and the fighters quickly removed all the anti-aircraft machine guns and bullets in this warehouse, and the bullets were also a good thing, and the 12.7 mm anti-aircraft machine gun cartridges were very difficult to replenish.

Watching the big trucks drive out one after another, Li Yong's heart finally relaxed a lot, and then suddenly remembered one more thing: "Gao Xiang, how is the ammunition replenishment of your battalion?" Don't just watch the excitement. ”

Gao Xiang's artillery battalion is the most important heavy firepower of the independent regiment, and it is also a trump card in the hands of the regiment commander Li Yong.

Hearing Li Yong's shout, Gao Xiang replied in a somewhat oily tone: "Regiment commander, you can rest assured that I am doing things, our battalion's ammunition has already been replenished." ”

Li Yong thought about it, now these boys are the first to come first, if the ammunition of the artillery battalion is not sufficient, Gao Xiang would have been shouting everywhere.

Li Yong and Wang Chengde, who had returned to the regiment headquarters, discussed and distributed the 50-odd antiaircraft machine guns they had captured to each infantry battalion, so that each battalion of the independent regiment would have a certain air defense capability.

Originally, antiaircraft machine guns should be used intensively according to Li Yong's idea, turning Wei Gang's machine gun battalion into an antiaircraft machine gun air defense battalion, but at this stage, Wei Gang and his battalion are all equipped with newly modified cars, and they can no longer distinguish between people and tinkering with antiaircraft machine guns.

Just when the independent regiment that had entered the city was nervously distributing weapons and replenishing ammunition, the Pei Changhui Corps, which had been reinforced by the Kuomintang from Junyi, was not far away.

As soon as the fast-advancing Kuomintang corps arrived in the Fufeng and Qishan areas, it immediately launched an attack, and it was the fourth column of the Northwest Field Army that was deployed in this area.

The three main brigades of the Fourth Column formed a large-depth defense system by echelon allocation, and used earthwork to resist the planes and artillery of the Kuomintang attack.

Historically, the Northwest Field Army suffered huge losses precisely because of the defensive loopholes of the four columns, and this time the order of the headquarters of the Arino Division, with the reminder of the brother troops before the war, the defensive measures of the four columns were much better.

As soon as the two sides came into contact, the battle directly took on a white-hot state, and the forward troops of the Kuomintang launched a frantic attack on the four columns under the cover of aircraft, tanks and artillery.

The Fifth Corps had a total of more than 70,000 men in six divisions, while the Fourth Column of the Northwest Field Army defending on the opposite side had only more than 15,000 men, and there was a huge disparity in strength.

Hu Zongnan knocked on the table on the phone and shouted: "Commander Pei, don't look at the communist army to take our Baoji, but they are alone in the depths, and they are also encircled by us, this area of Baoji is a national control area, and the common people have no one to support them, I will send all the planes in Xi'an to you, and give the communist army a joint operation integrating air and ground, the chairman has already ordered Ma Bufang to rush to the aid of the starry night, the 82nd Division is not too far away, as long as you can break through the defense line of the communist army, you can form a state of encirclement with the 82nd division against the communist army, Destroy the Northwest Communist Army in one fell swoop, defeat Peng Dehuai, dead or alive. ”
