Chapter 62: Commentary

The wounded of this reconnaissance platoon shook his head and said: "What am I, don't talk about me, even the platoon commanders of each platoon in our company don't know why the company commander is so powerful, I heard our platoon commander say that every time the battle is over, the company commander has to hold a tactical analysis meeting, and when the meeting comes, they are all stunned by the company commander, and no one knows where the company commander knows so much news." ”

"You have all heard of the battle between Qinghuatou and Panlong Town, our company commander has analyzed it in advance, my home is in the area of Zhenwudong in the north of Yan'an, I just joined the army for a short time, and the company commander said that our main force is going to attack Panlong Town, and then there really is, how the specific company commander analyzed, I don't know, if I know everything, I will not be the company commander."

Hu Xiaolian, who was standing outside the door, heard of these things for the first time, I didn't expect Dayong to have such a high prestige in the hearts of the soldiers, and I didn't think it was so powerful when I looked at his hippie smile, well, except when I was doing things, this guy was capable enough when he was doing things with himself, every time he was frequent, he was smitten by himself, and when he had the opportunity in the future, he must ask what was in this head, and he would ask when he was done bad, thinking about it, his face was red again.

Li Yong, who had not been back in the company for a long time, was lying on the kang and was confused when he suddenly heard someone shouting a report outside, Li Yuming walked in and said that Li Jiangguo and Ma Quanyou's squad had returned, and when he heard that the comrades in the first and second platoons had returned, Li Yong hurriedly jumped off the kang and walked out.

When I arrived at the head of the village, I saw that it wasn't Li Jiangguo and Ma Quanyou, who were chatting with the instructor Wang Chengde and the soldiers who were on guard, and when they saw Li Yong coming over, Li Jiangguo immediately pulled his neck and shouted: "Company commander, I heard that we have been going for more than ten days and killed an enemy regiment, this time we have lost a lot, we have taken the enemy in circles all day long, and the bigger battles have not been fought once, hehe, I don't dare to fight, I haven't got anything back except for a body of soil, and we can't forget our two platoons if there are any good things in the company." ”

Ma Quanyou, the commander of the second platoon, came over and reported: "The enemy didn't know why he suddenly stopped chasing them, and he and Li Jiangguo couldn't figure out the enemy's intentions and didn't dare to follow up rashly. ”

Li Yong thought for a while and suddenly shouted: "Li Yuming, notify the platoon commanders and deputy platoon commanders of each platoon to hold a meeting." He also said to Li Jiangguo and Ma Quanyou: "A few of you go directly to the company headquarters, and the soldiers go back to the platoon station, and the courtyard where you are stationed has not moved, just go back and sweep it." He turned his head to Wang Chengde and said, "Lao Wang, I guess the enemy wants to run, let's go back and check and see what to do." ”

Instructor Wang Chengde summed up the battle, first praised Li Jiangguo and Ma Quanyou's squad, without the squad's success in luring the enemy, there would have been no victory in this battle, don't look at the squad did not directly participate in the battle, this time they beat Qingyang.

Then he praised the recruit platoon, the recruit platoon in the case of insufficient manpower in the company, the courage to participate in the battle, with wit and courage successfully opened the gate of Qingyang, and then fought all the way to the end, the most desirable point is that these are some new soldiers who have just joined our unit, can have such a firm will to fight and fearless spirit to show that the four comrades in charge of training in the recruit platoon have made great contributions, but also from one side to show the importance of our army's ideological work.

Wang Chengde finally said: "This is a big victory for our company since its establishment, with a small loss to achieve greater results, annihilating an entire regiment of the enemy, liberating the county seat of Qingyang, a total of more than 900 war horses captured, capturing more than 700 enemy soldiers, all kinds of materials and ammunition are being counted, by the way, six Type 92 heavy machine guns have also been captured, but I heard the company commander say that Wei Gang has been robbed. ”

As soon as Wang Chengde said that the heavy machine gun had been snatched away by Wei Gang, everyone laughed, and when everyone finished laughing, Li Yong began to comment on the battle: "As the instructor said, we have achieved a big victory with small losses, and there are several reasons for the victory. ”

The suddenness of the start of the battle, our time was chosen between two and three o'clock in the morning, and most of the enemy was still asleep when the battle began.

During the first Gulf War, the time for the Americans to launch an attack on Iraq was set at three o'clock in the morning, and the time for the Tomahawk cruise missile to explode was three o'clock in the morning, and the Iraqis at that time were still asleep, and for several days in a row, the US military bombed Iraq at about two or three o'clock in the second half of the night, just when the Iraqis thought that the Americans were attacking in the second half of the night. The Americans suddenly launched a large-scale bombardment of Iraq at 10 o'clock in the first half of the night, as a result of which the Iraqis were devastated and suffered heavy losses.

Second, the enemy's carelessness, when the recruit platoon seized the city gate, none of the enemy's soldiers guarding the city gate were awake, and the soldiers of the entire squad were solved with bayonets by the soldiers of the recruit platoon, and we suffered no casualties.

Third, the tactical thinking was correct, and our company knocked out the enemy's command system at the very beginning, one regiment headquarters and three battalion headquarters, and the enemy lost command and became a mess.

Fourth, the soldiers of our army fought bravely, fought more with less, fearlessly, and overwhelmed the enemy with a fearless spirit and revolutionary spirit.

Although we won this battle, it does not mean that our actions are flawless, and there are two main shortcomings and shortcomings in this battle.

First, we did not expect such a quick reaction of the guard company of the enemy's regimental headquarters, and I would like to ask the comrades, what if we do not have mortars from the artillery platoon? What if there is no heavy machine gun? I didn't mean to find fault, because most of the companies of our field army were devoid of heavy machine guns and small artillery, what if they encountered such a situation? Doesn't the battle still have to be fought?

If we use a little force to disguise the enemy's stragglers or civilians in ambush near the enemy's regimental headquarters before the battle begins, and attack immediately after the battle begins, the enemy's reaction time will be greatly reduced.

The resistance encountered by the third platoon of the two horses when accepting the surrender of the enemy is the result of underestimation and carelessness, and the victory of each battle is based on prior preparation, and if we prepare for the attack before accepting the surrender of the enemy, we will reduce or avoid casualties.

The above two points are mistakes in command and have nothing to do with the soldiers, the first point is in charge of me, the second point is in charge of the third platoon commander Ma Changsheng, after the meeting, Ma Changsheng and I each have to write a copy of the inspection and hand it over to the instructor, we sacrificed nine comrades in this battle, wounded more than 30 people, if there are no two mistakes, our casualties can be reduced by half.

After listening to Li Yong's speech, everyone was thinking that the enemy was not satisfied with exchanging more than 30 casualties for a regimental company commander, and our company commander was too demanding, and he must be careful and careful in future battles, or he would be criticized and examined.
