Chapter 323: Battle
Director, there is no need to 'grow the morale of others and destroy their own prestige', after the second battalion completes the detour, then we will be able to wrap the dumplings of the Jin Sui Army in front of us. ”
Yan Zhenzhi, the acting commander of the first battalion, said with a smile.
"Battalion Commander Yan, there is a good saying, 'The lion fights the rabbit, and also uses all his strength', not to mention that the 8th Brigade in front of us is a battle-hardened unit of the Jin Sui Army, and we can't underestimate the enemy.
It depends on the detour of the second battalion, if the regiment of the 8th Brigade can be defeated in one fell swoop, then there will be a drama; If you can't defeat it, it's a bit of a problem. ”
In fact, Lehi also wanted to test the combat effectiveness of the Eighth Regiment of the Decisive Death.
In the face of the Japanese army, it is no problem for the Eighth Regiment to fight against a squadron, and when it encounters the devil brigade, it will only retreat;
In the face of the puppet army, it is no problem for the Eighth Regiment to fight against one regiment of the puppet army.
But it is not clear how the combat effectiveness of the Eighth Regiment of Decisive Death compares with the Central Army, the Jin Sui Army, etc., he didn't have a chance before, but now he has a chance, and he wants to try.
"Yes, Director, it's me who underestimates the enemy!" Yan Zhenzhi replied.
"Battalion Commander Yan, you are an old party member, and you are familiar with political work, but you still need to learn more in commanding operations.
Otherwise, you can only follow the line of political work all the time, and you will not be able to become a commander who commands the troops to fight. Lehi nodded.
It is not bad to simply follow the political work line, but the road is too narrow after all, and what Lehi needs is cadres who know how to fight, not a large number of political work cadres who can be grasped casually.
"Thank you Director for the reminder!" Yan Zhenzhi humbly accepted the Dao.
Li Hai nodded, "Later, after the second battalion launches an attack from behind the enemy, you lead the first battalion to launch a counter-charge against the enemy, and the artillery company is responsible for providing fire cover, go and try this water of the Jin Sui army." ”
"Yes!"
。。。。。。
"Brigade commander, the enemy army in front of you is a little unusual, this weapon and equipment are not bad, and there are a lot of Japanese-style weapons.
It's a Japanese-style weapon used by devils, not the kind we produce. ”
Head Wang came to Shi Zuoheng and reported his analysis to the other party.
Veterans are very sensitive to gunshots, especially the Japanese rifles and machine guns of the Eighth Regiment on the opposite side, which is not simple.
If it is a Jin-made Type 38 rifle, it is easy to say, it should be equipped when the death column was established before.
However, the weapons of Japanese origin are unusual, and there seems to be not much possibility other than to capture them from the Japanese army.
"Japanese-origin weapons?" Shi Zuoheng frowned slightly, and looked at Sun Ruikun next to him, "Commander Sun, has the Eighth Regiment received weapons assistance from the Eighth Route Army?" I'm talking about Lehi's side! ”
"It shouldn't exist, the Eighth Route Army itself is not enough weapons, how can it be possible to provide assistance to the Eighth Regiment of the Decisive Death.
However, when he retreated from Changzhi before, Li Hai led his army to fight the Japanese army several times, including after retreating to Qinshui, and also fought several times, probably captured. Sun Ruikun explained.
Shi Zuoheng always felt that something was wrong, his troops had been attacking for two hours, and they had not been able to capture the position of the Eighth Regiment of Decisive Death.
There was a time when he attacked, but he was beaten back by the other party.
He could feel that the number of enemy troops defending the high ground on both sides was not large, could it be that the other party planned to defend it like this?
"Send the order down and send a battalion to find a way to go around behind the enemy and surround the enemy forces in front of you." Shi Zuoheng thought about it and ordered.
"Yes, sir!"
Before the messenger had left, a man rushed to him and said breathlessly, "Brigade... Brigade commander, something is wrong, a wave of enemy troops has appeared behind us. ”
"What?"
When Shi Zuoheng was surprised, there was the sound of attacking gunfire from behind him, but there were weapons like mortars.
Obviously, the Eighth Regiment of the Decisive Death also thought of the tactics of roundabout encirclement, and it was arranged earlier than him.
Thinking of this, Shi Zuoheng knew that he had met an opponent!
At least that Lehi was not a young man like he seemed, but a commander who had studied tactics quite well.
。。。。。。
"Director Yu, this is the Leng Jie mentioned to you before his humble post, he designed a new rifle and submachine gun by himself, this time I just want to come to you, I hope our arsenal can produce it by itself."
Chongqing, the office of the Ordnance Industry Administration, with the help of Han Bin, Leng Jie met Yu Dawei, the boss ---of China's ordnance industry system at this time.
Although this person has been in the Kuomintang camp, he has cultivated many talents for China, including Hua Luogeng, Sun Benwang and others.
He was a mathematician himself, and one of his papers was published in Germany's most famous mathematical journal (MathematischeAnnalen), where he was the first Chinese to publish an article.
The famous mathematician Chen Yinke is his cousin, and he himself graduated from Harvard University and the University of Berlin in Germany.
In 1928, he was invited to return to China by Chen Yi, then director of the Ordnance Industry Administration;
In 1933, he began to serve as director of the Ordnance Administration.
Although China's military industrial system is not very good at present, Yu Dawei, who has accepted the mess, still tries his best to establish an ordnance base in Chongqing to produce weapons and ammunition for soldiers on the front line.
Of course, this is also related to the lack of attention of the Nationalist Government, and the comprador idea that it is better to buy than to buy has influenced the Nationalist Government in Nanjing.
This can't be done, who made the Nanjing Nationalist Government a government supported by the comprador bourgeoisie.
"Leng Jie? I've heard of you, a tiger general, you should be the most outstanding Whampoa student in Whampoa except for the first six issues, at least that's what the chairman said about you! ”
Seeing Leng Jie in front of him, Yu Dawei couldn't help but praise.
"The last general, Leng Jie, has seen Director Yu!" Leng Jie saluted.
"I'm just a little curious, aren't you a general who commands a war? How can weapons still be designed? Yu Dawei said curiously.
In fact, if it weren't for Han Bin, Yu Dawei would definitely not have seen Leng Jie.
Because quite simply, the current Chinese army does not need submachine guns and semi-automatic rifles.
Not to mention that even manual rifles cannot satisfy the entire army, and even if manual rifles do, it is impossible to equip a large number of semi-automatic rifles and submachine guns with the current situation in China.
One is that there is no money, the second is that the arsenal capacity is insufficient, and the third is that the consumption of bullets is too large.
It's just that he couldn't bear Han Bin grinding him several times, so he agreed to meet this time.
"Director Hui Yu, the last general fought on the front line, and even the weapons and firepower of the front-line troops were insufficient, and they suffered a lot in the face of the Japanese army, so they thought about designing one or two weapons that could improve the firepower of the combat troops.
After a while, the Admiral made a prototype gun.
The last general hopes that these two weapons can be produced, which will be of great help to the war of resistance on the front line. Leng Jie knew that he had to convince the person in front of him, otherwise it would be difficult for these two weapons to be put into production.
"Then do you know the current production capacity of my country's military industry?" Yu Dawei asked indifferently.
