Chapter 110: Orders from the Divisional Headquarters.
In a simple clearing in the valley on the west side of Mopan Village, the soldiers of the Seventh Company were divided into several groups and were engaged in fierce combat training with each other one-on-one.
Regarding the controversy at the regiment headquarters, Zhao Shixun didn't want to ask or bother to ask. As a professional soldier, obedience to orders has gone deep into his bone marrow. No matter who has the upper hand, in the end, all you have to do is carry out the order, and there is no point in participating in the argument.
Due to the shortage of ammunition in the Eighth Route Army, Zhao Shixun began to pay more attention to the training of white-knuckle combat on the basis of training soldiers to shoot accurately.
As we all know, the Japanese were far superior to the Chinese army in fighting bayonets, and often inflicted great casualties on Chinese soldiers in white-knuckle battles. This is not because the diminutive Japanese are naturally good at fighting, but because the Japanese army has always attached great importance to stabbing training.
After the expansion of the Seventh Company during this period, although the number of people steadily increased to eighty-five, the number of weapons and ammunition became scarce. The old immortal finally scraped together a weapon for the soldiers, but he couldn't get a more scarce bayonet.
There was no way, and only close to half of the people of the Seventh Company could replace bayonets with large blades as melee weapons.
Since the difficulty of the broadsword in actual combat training is higher than that of the bayonet, in order to let the fighters quickly improve the fighting skills of the broadsword, Zhao Shixun decided to pick out a few of the knife techniques he learned separately to make a set of knife techniques, and then let the fighters make a surprise contact.
Zhao Shixun is not a martial arts master, so the moves he chooses are nothing more than three moves. Respectively, cut! Chop! Block!
On the battlefield, it's not a one-on-one fight, but a melee between groups and a group of people, so those gorgeous Jianghu moves are not very useful. In the face of a life-and-death duel, whoever is quick and ruthless will survive to the end. The devil's bayonet technique is actually only a few tricks, but they have practiced hard for a long time, so they can only press the Chinese soldiers in actual combat.
Watching the soldiers on the training ground fight with wooden guns and knives, Zhao Shixun walked back and forth with his hands behind his back to patrol. For those whose movements are weak and whose moves are soft. Zhao Shixun did not punish them, but transferred them to a warrior who did not know the severity of the attack, so that these people would suffer.
People are all animals with fire, and they are well-behaved, but they are beaten with blue skin, swollen face, and bruised and purple on their bodies, and this anger can't help but come up. Those who didn't dare to start also became ruthless, and the atmosphere of fighting on the field became stronger and stronger for a while.
Of course, such training will inevitably cause people to get injured, and Zhou Yu has also disputed this many times. However, Zhao Shixun didn't care about this, in his opinion, it was better to be injured than dead. The battlefield is a place to play with life, and the person who shrinks back is looking for death, he doesn't need a compassionate soldier, he needs a pack of fierce wolves!
Towards noon, a herald from the regimental headquarters ran over the valley and verbally conveyed the regimental commander's order.
It turned out that a special commissioner had been sent by the higher authorities to the regiment headquarters to convey the urgent order of the superiors, and the regiment commander asked all officers of the company level to immediately assemble in the conference room for a meeting.
……
As soon as he walked into the conference room, Zhao Shixun immediately saw a familiar face.
"Lao Wu! What are you doing here? ”
"Hehe...... why can't I come? Shixun Zhou Yu, you two did a good job in the pioneer group, Lao Lei and Lao Jiang praised you with me just now. ”
Seeing Zhao Shixun and Zhou Yu walking in, Lao Wu, who was chatting with the political commissar of the regiment leader, stood up, walked forward with a smile and shook hands with Zhao Shixun and Zhou Yu.
Lao Wu is the first acquaintance and life-saving benefactor that Zhao Shixun met on the side of the Eighth Road, and it can be said that he pulled himself into the Eighth Road, so Zhao Shixun trusted him very much.
"Brother Wu, you are here, I thought I would never see you again."
Zhou Yu is a soldier brought out by Lao Wu, so he has a lot of feelings for Lao Wu.
"I haven't heard from you for almost two months, and I thought you went somewhere else."
Zhao Shixun shook Lao Wu's hand tightly and asked enthusiastically.
"Hehe, my whereabouts are like this, erratic ......."
For his work, Lao Wu never said much. Zhao Shixun also understood, so he diverted the topic and didn't ask more.
……
"Okay, Lao Wu, let's have a meeting first, and a few of you will go down and find a chance to catch up on the old days alone."
Political Commissar Jiang stepped forward and patted the three of them on the shoulder, reminding them that the meeting was about to begin.
Xue Liqun, who was sitting on the side, saw that Lao Wu seemed to be very familiar with Zhao Shixun, and he was suddenly shocked. How did this surnamed Zhao know Lao Wu, and what is the intersection between him and Lao Wu?
For these questions, Xue Liqun's mind was a little big. Although he is not familiar with Lao Wu, he still has a little hearing of who Lao Wu is. This seemingly ordinary-looking middle-aged man is a guest of honor at the division commander's political commissar in the division headquarters, although he doesn't know his specific position, but Xue Liqun knows that it must be a very important and very high position.
Seeing that the guards had closed the door of the conference room, Xue Liqun had to stop his random conjecture.
……
At this time, Head Lei was the first to stand up, looked at everyone who was doing it, and said in a deep voice:
"Comrades, I have summoned you all today, and I have an urgent matter to announce to you."
"First of all, let me introduce you to these two."
Speaking of this, Head Lei pointed to the two people beside him and introduced them one by one:
"This old comrade is Lao Wu, and he came from the rear base area. And the one next to him was Comrade Yu, a commissioner sent by the division headquarters. Everyone, quack, quack, welcome! ”
With warm applause, Lao Wu and Comrade Yu stood up in turn and saluted everyone.
After the applause, Head Lei looked at everyone and continued:
"These two came to our vanguard regiment and brought some materials that were urgently needed by the troops, and also brought a piece of intelligence and a combat mission directly issued by the division headquarters to our regiment."
Picking up a document and putting it in front of him, Lei Wancheng looked at his subordinates and said word by word:
"The division headquarters ordered us to seize the fighter planes and destroy the Japanese convoy that arrived here in two days~!"
Sure enough, Lei Wancheng's words immediately surprised the people who were doing it. This matter has been debated at the regiment headquarters for three days, and now the division headquarters has actually come to give direct orders?!
"For specific matters, let the commissioner explain it to you first."
With that, Lei Wancheng sat down and motioned for Commissioner Yu to speak.
Seeing this, Commissioner Yu stood up, pushed his glasses and looked at everyone and said:
"Comrades of the Vanguard Regiment, this time our comrades who are located inside the enemy have managed to get a piece of information of great value.
According to the intelligence, the Japanese army will transport a batch of munitions and medicines from Jiangxian County on 14 September, that is, tomorrow, to a field infantry brigade in the south of Hengqu County where the Japanese army urgently needs supplies. ”
"According to reliable information, the Japanese army will send a squadron of troops to be responsible for this escort. And with it, there are also more than 200 people in two companies of the Jiangxian Garrison and the first section of the puppet army in the Linfen area. According to the intelligence, they will arrive at our defense area around noon the day after tomorrow. ”
"After receiving this information, the division headquarters attaches great importance to it, and in view of the fact that most of your brigade is currently in the Jinzhong area and the Japanese army is unable to go south to support, so the division headquarters specially orders me to do everything possible to send you a batch of weapons and ammunition. There are not many ammunition, only 10,000 rounds of ammunition and some mines and grenades, I hope comrades understand, now the rear is also very tight, and these supplies are squeezed out of the teeth of fraternal troops.
After I have finished speaking, the specific combat tasks will be arranged by you, Regiment Commander Lei and Political Commissar Jiang, and I wish the comrades success and more devils! ”
The conversation was closed, and Commissioner Yu sat down.
At this time, Political Commissar Jiang and regiment commander Lei Wancheng stood up at the same time.
"All stand up!"
Crash...... All the people stood up.
Lei Wancheng's calm gaze swept around, and said in an unquestionable tone:
"Yang Chenghu! Han Weimin, Xu Dongsheng! ”
"Here!"
"The three of you led the special service company and a battalion, responsible for ambushing the Japanese transport team in the Hanjiagou generation, and immediately went to the logistics to collect ammunition and set off after receiving the order, there must be no mistake!"
"Yes! Mission completion guaranteed! ”
"Zhao Shixun! Zhou Yu! ”
"Here!"
Hearing the order, Zhao Shixun and the others immediately stood up.
"The two of you led the Seventh Company to deploy fifteen miles south of Hanjiagou. After the battle starts, you must hold on for me for three hours to ensure that the flank of the ambush force is not threatened by the Japanese puppet army in Hengqu County! Do you understand? ”
"Understood! Mission completion guaranteed! ”
Before coming to the meeting, Zhao Shixun had a guess in his heart, and he estimated that eighty percent of the previous arguments had a result, and it was likely to be based on the victory. Therefore, Zhao Shixun still has his own ideas about the allocation of combat missions. Due to the small number of the Seventh Company, coupled with Zhao Shixun's training methods and previous combat experience, Zhao Shixun felt that he was more suitable for blocking the enemy than attacking the fortification. Fortunately, this time the regiment commander and political commissar took this into account and did not let the Seventh Company be responsible for the task of attacking the fortifications.
"Shen Cunzhi!"
"Here!"
"Your second company is fortified three miles outside the north side of the ambush area, and after the battle starts, be sure to cut off the enemy's retreat route to the north, and the driver will attack the enemy in the ambush circle from the north side! Do you understand? ”
"Yes! Mission completion guaranteed! ”
"Third Company Commander Xu Guofeng!"
"Here!"
After the expansion of the Pioneer Regiment during this period, a part of the veterans and recruits were transferred from the first battalion, and three companies were formed, and a recruit company commander of the original first battalion was appointed as the commander of the third company.
"In this battle, your three companies, as a combat reserve, act together with the regimental headquarters and are ready to participate in the battle at any time!"
"Yes, mission guaranteed!"
…… To be continued, ask for collection, ask for recommendation!
