Chapter 196: Quid pro quo
20_20434 Yang Jicai looked at the 51st Regiment in front of him with a very solemn face, as well as all the cadres above the company level of the subordinate troops, hesitated for a moment and said directly: "I will take three battalions, one company, three companies, and the remaining reconnaissance company as a reserve...... The update is so fast. But there is one thing I want to make clear, I will not dispatch this reserve force. ”
"Before the time came when I thought I had to invest, even if the Japanese army had already hit my nose, I would never send a single soldier. My reserve team is to devote itself to the most needed direction at the most critical moment, not for you to be a firefighter. ”
"That means that if you take the place I designated, no matter what the casualty figure is, there will be no reinforcements. It's up to you to meet a possible massive counterattack by the Japanese. But these points I mentioned, before you get the order, even if you run out, you have to keep it for Lao Tzu. ”
Speaking of this, Yang Jicai said to Su Yingqi, the commander of the 51st Regiment: "Old Su, you are an expert in fighting this kind of battle. The battle on the left flank, you personally go to command. Last year, we partnered to bring down the Seventh Division in the Alukorqin Banner, and this year, the two of us are joining forces once, and we are partnering in the 'Yin', the ninth 'mixed' brigade, what do you think? ”
Su Yingqi, who was 'smoking' a cigarette, listened to Yang Jicai's deployment, but he didn't hurry to 'smoke' the whole cigarette before he said: "Director Yang, this time the General Political Commissar and the Chief of Staff talked to me and told me that this time it was our regiment that you asked me by name, and I knew that it was not a good errand. ”
"I didn't say anything about fighting with you, but it was indeed quite pleasant. But there is a little bit of 'quite high' demand, and if you intellectuals put it in the words of those of you, people who are a little less psychologically trained may not be able to stand it. If your head turns a little slower, it won't be able to keep up with you. ”
"You chose the left flank of the entire Kangbao battlefield as the real main assault direction, this is to roast me on the fire. The left flank is the junction of this 'mixed' 9th Brigade and the 110th Division, and if you start from this direction, you know that there are tigers in the mountains, and you are biased towards the tiger mountains. ”
"From this direction, I can't imagine that what I am stabbing is a hornet's nest, and I will suffer from the enemy on the back of the belly. Although the main force of the 110th Division of the devils was attracted by the frontal offensive. But in the territory of Huade, there is also a field wing. Although it is unlikely that all the reinforcements will come out, there is no problem for some to come. If one is not careful, I will be attacked on my back. ”
After a few complaints, Su Yingqi, who did not reply to Yang Jicai's words, closed his mouth and immediately lit another cigarette. But he didn't put the cigarette in his mouth, but quietly watched the cigarette burn little by little before he spoke: "Director Yang, there's no problem with letting me go in that direction, but there are two things you have to promise me." Read the full text of the latest chapter"
"One, don't give me so many rules and regulations, I decide how to fight in that direction. Anyway, I promise that by dawn, I will meet your requirements. Second, I want three 'ping' 14 mm high 'shooting' machine guns, but not twin mounts, I want to disassemble the three 'ping'. ”
Listening to the two requests of this old guy who had saved the crisis together on the battlefield of Alukorqin Banner, Yang Jicai said directly without even thinking about it: "These two, there is no problem, I can promise you." But I also have two requirements, and you have to do it too. ”
"One, don't carry your big knife and fight the bayonets with the Japanese army for me. You are the regiment commander, and your position should be in your command position, and you must maintain control over the entire unit. Second, what I want is the cooperation of several aspects, not the surprise attack of yours. The line I have drawn for you to stop the attack must be stopped upon arrival until there is a new order. ”
Although in the territory of Alukorqin Banner, they have not been together for a long time, and the two people do not have any deep 'friendship'. But that battle made the two guys with an obvious sense of smell know each other's styles very well. Therefore, both of them invariably made demands.
And Yang Jicai agreed happily, Su Yingqi nodded without the slightest hesitation. Even in order to show his determination, Su Yingqi directly beckoned the guards behind him and 'handed over' the big knife he was carrying from the Guannei, which was stained with the blood of countless Japanese soldiers, to Yang Jicai.
Looking at the ghost-headed big knife that Su Yingqi handed to him, he knew that this knife had been following him since the Red Army era, walking through the Long March together and bathing in the Hexi Corridor together. Even after the failure of the Western Expedition and the dispersal of the troops, when he returned to Yan'an alone, this big knife was not dropped. I really don't know how this guy was brought out in that harsh environment.
After weighing the big knife full of enemy blood a few times, Yang Jicai smiled and stuffed it back into him. After looking at the watch hands on his wrist, he said, "It's seven o'clock in the evening, and all the departments will immediately start assembling and exercising. Before 10 p.m., the whole line was deployed, and the attack was immediately launched. I don't have a full seat here, so I won't keep everyone. ”
Yang Jicai waved his hand, and the commanders of each battalion didn't dare to say anything, so they hurriedly went over to prepare. Looking at the cadres at all levels who went to prepare, Yang Jicai tightened the half-cut coat on his body, and looked at the Japanese positions that were 'shooting' from time to time under the night, but he shook his head. Whether or not one's plan can be realized depends on the situation on the battlefield.
In fact, Yang Jicai himself also wanted to have a big battle with the Japanese army, but the limitation of troops could only allow him to make careful calculations to complete the task that Wang Minggui 'handed over'. However, the lack of troops made Yang Jicai not very optimistic about the possible progress of the battle.
After pondering for a long time, Yang Jicai turned his gaze from the Japanese position to the map in front of him. In his heart, he kept thinking about the contingency measures that the 110th Division and the 9th Brigade might adopt when the battle started, as well as their own coping strategies. No matter how he calculated, Yang Jicai felt that the strength in his hands was insufficient. Looking at it, it was the only thing he could think of right now.
As the time of the attack approached minute by minute, the telescope that Yang Jicai raised again never put down. He wrinkled his brows, constantly observing the Japanese position in front of him, and at the same time, he was always worried about Su Yingqi, who was 'inserting' into the junction of the two Japanese troops.
Relative to the right flank, it was mainly easterly from the front of the Japanese army, and there was no direction of attack of the Japanese army behind it. On the left flank, Su Yingqi, unless he was gnawing hard from the easterly direction of the right flank, if he wanted to reach the starting point of the attack, he had to conceal and 'intersperse' between the two positions of the Japanese army for at least an hour before he could reach the starting point of the attack.
During the Red Army period, although Su Yingqi was the vanguard company commander who opened the way for the whole army, it can be said that practice makes perfect when commanding this kind of battle. But now, unlike in the past, the frontal battlefield is in full swing. After I arrived in Kangbao today, I didn't do anything during the day, but I carried out many tentative 'sexual' attacks.
Although it was only half a day, this virtual and real thing was bound to make the Japanese army extremely vigilant. The troops under his command were 'interspersed' between the two Japanese army units. If one accidentally 'exposes' the target, they will be flanked from both sides before they reach the piercing position.
Yang Jicai was worried about Su Yingqi, and at this time, he was leading the team to carefully follow Huade and Kangbao, the narrow gap between the two Japanese troops, Su Yingqi, who was 'interspersed' towards the starting point of the attack, was already gone, and he was also extra careful in his actions.
When receiving the task, Su Yingqi knew very well that this was not a good errand. According to the intelligence observed by the scouts during the day, although the main force of the 110th Division was 'pumped' away, there was a gap of several kilometers due to insufficient troops.
However, the Japanese troops in both directions used artillery fire instead of troops to block this gap. As long as there is the slightest 'exposure', the artillery fire of the Japanese troops on both sides will block this gap less than a few kilometers wide at any time. Moreover, the defense of the Japanese army on this line is not a blank, and the Japanese army really did not put a single soldier to defend.
The lack of troops does not mean that even a small number of alert troops have not been released. Separated by 1,500 meters in this direction, at the foot of the mountain there is a set of small plum 'flower' type chain of field fortifications. And on all the commanding heights, there were Japanese warning positions. The machine-gun 'firing' boundaries of these field fortification groups are all 'crossed' at each other's 'cross', which is enough to block this gap that is only a few kilometers wide.
Once the target is exposed, the entire penetrating unit will be hit by the Japanese machine-gun 'cross' fire and the Japanese artillery fire in depth. In the case that the ravine can only be used to make a detour, once the troops are suppressed in the ravine, there is a danger of total annihilation in the face of the condescending Japanese army.
Although this route is hilly, both the altitude and the slope are far less than the height and steepness of the 'Yin' Mountain Range. But after all, hills are also mountains, and they also have heights. The commanding heights are all in the hands of others. Once the whereabouts are revealed, the consequences are unimaginable. So Su Yingqi changed his old grin, took one of his reinforced battalions, and cautiously 'touched' forward little by little.
But many times, the more afraid you are, the more you come, and you run into ghosts when you walk at night. When he was less than three kilometers away from Mande Hall, he was completely exposed because of an unexpected incident.
The reason is simple, as a reconnaissance platoon in the vanguard. Outside a separate courtyard 'gate', a Japanese military truck was found. As the vanguard, the appearance of the enemy must be ascertained. What's more, it is less than three kilometers away from Mandetang, where a squadron of the Japanese army is stationed, the Puppet Kangbao County Garrison Brigade, that is, the two squadrons of the Imperial Cooperative Army.
Without ascertaining the origin of this group of enemies, there is no guarantee that the troops will be able to take Mandetang and obtain the starting point of the attack. Mandetang is an important stronghold of the Japanese army in the northwest of Kangbao, which curbs the highway from Kangbao to Dehua, and is at the junction of the hilly area and the plain, which is a strategic point in the entire Kangbao Japanese army fortification area.
According to Su Yingqi's plan, the troops approached Mandetang as secretly as possible, and after the Japanese puppet army was caught off guard, they took Mandetang as quickly as possible, and then immediately attacked and advanced to the east with the whole army.
However, less than a kilometer away from Mandetang, a Japanese military vehicle suddenly appeared, and the origin of this Japanese army must be thoroughly ascertained. It was the original garrison of the Japanese army in Mandetang, or the troops that were later transferred to the Ninth Brigade. The most important thing is to quickly solve the Japanese army that may be stored in this courtyard, and open the passage for the follow-up large army to pass guò.
Especially if this Japanese army is staying here, then most of the time when they pass guò, they will not be able to hide from this Japanese army at all. If this Japanese army is not resolved, the large forces behind will not be able to approach Mandetang covertly. And in the situation that the surrounding area is full of Japanese firepower, if the whereabouts are revealed at this time, it will undoubtedly lead to the failure of Su Yingqi's plan - 15469d80ok0 wave 18452340 - >.
