Chapter 1173: It's a Little Floating!
By the time the 343 Brigade arrived at the outskirts of Jingcheng County with light equipment, it was already twelve o'clock in the evening.
I have to say that this Brigade Commander Chen really does what he says, even if he is a little proud, it is also the capital of some people's pride.
It is said that four and a half hours is four and a half hours, and the more than 60 miles of mountain road was really arrived by him leading more than 4,000 people in the whole brigade to trot all the way purely on iron feet, and the error did not exceed ten minutes.
Although there are even many who are left behind along the way, they can reach 70% of the troops, which can already be called the elite army of the Chinese army.
Some people may think that it is not a big deal to march only seven kilometers per hour, and there are still 30 percent of people left behind. An adult can walk at a speed of four or even five kilometers per hour.
But first of all, you know that although the red soldiers are lightly armed, they also have to carry a rifle weighing 4 kilograms, 50 rounds of ammunition weighing about half a kilogram, two grenades weighing about 1 kilogram, plus a liter of water bottle, and the weight will be 6.5 kilograms. Not to mention the machine gunners and small artillerymen who carry heavy machine guns with heavier loads, even these ordinary infantry must maintain a speed of 7 kilometers per hour for four and a half hours with such a load. This kind of endurance is really amazing.
Liu Lang dared to say that even if this unit was pulled into the future, there would be many units in the red army of the future republic that would not be able to catch up with them just by relying on the iron footboard.
Liu Lang, who personally went out of the city to greet the somewhat impatient Brigade Commander Chen, had respect on his face, while the unconvincing Brigade Commander Chen was convinced.
The red general, who had led the whole brigade to break the record of rapid march again before 12 o'clock, was quite proud, but when his proud expression began to overflow on his face, he received news from the front that the independent regiment had completely occupied the county seat of Jingcheng and was now publicizing the overall evacuation to the people in the county.
This news almost didn't startle the red general. Why did he run so fast? It was the soldiers who came to dig the county seat quickly, but they ran away, and they didn't need their help to capture the county.
He did not deny that the independent regiment had diesel tricycles that could run fast and were strong enough in combat, but it was really beyond his imagination to use three or four infantry battalions to take down the county seat of Jingcheng.
You must know that although there are only 1,000 Japanese soldiers stationed in Jingcheng County, the combat effectiveness of the little devils is very good. Not to mention that they fought with more than a thousand devils in Pingxingguan for a whole day before they decided the victory, just talk about the battle of the river valley a few hours ago.
In that battle, they attacked, and they had a large number of troops, with 8,000 against 3,000, and occupied the terrain and all kinds of heavy equipment to completely crush the strong attack; The Japanese army was weakly affected by the fact that they had few troops, few artillery, few heavy machine guns, and were surrounded and beaten by people condescendingly, but it took more than three hours to annihilate them all.
When Liu Lang personally greeted the south gate, the lights in the city were bright, and the gunfire had already stopped, proving that the county town was completely under its control, and at the moment when the arrogant red general had to be convinced.
"Commander Liu, your independent regiment fought this battle, Niu, I'm Chen." Although the red general's first sentence still seemed impatient, his frank personality was undoubtedly revealed.
"Haha, Brigade Commander Chen, the speed of your rapid march is so fast, I, Liu, am even more convinced." Liu Lang's words are also heartfelt.
As soon as they finished speaking, the two couldn't help but look at each other and laughed.
What is a hero cherishes a hero, this is.
Whether it is these two generals of the unified army, or the 343 Brigade and the Independent Regiment under their command, they are definitely the most elite army in China in this era. Liu Lang sincerely hoped that the more such troops there were, the better, so as to add more bargaining chips to the victory of the entire long and difficult Great Patriotic War.
Of course, if it took only 40 minutes for the independent regiment to occupy the county seat of Jingcheng County, which made the red general's jaw drop in shock, then when Liu Lang invited the cadres above the 343 brigade to visit the railway station that was sorting out the statistics and seizing the weight, looking at the mountains of all kinds of materials, the first sentence of this upright red general was: "Brother Liu, can you pinch me to see if it hurts, Lao Tzu must be dreaming." β
Liu Lang couldn't help but roll his eyes, you treat me as stupid, right! I'll pinch it, I don't know if you'll use this as an excuse to divide more things later. This is not easy to do now, your brother and I will learn it in the red army in the next eighty years.
"Don't worry, Brigade Commander Chen, you're definitely not dreaming, are you, once water?" Liu Lang patted the shoulder of Zeng Shui beside him.
"Oh, sir, I don't have a big piece of meat on my shoulder, you can't make me really crippled, I can't marry a daughter-in-law, and you can't be the main marriage." Because the guard platoon was sent out to maintain order in the county seat, the once sore teeth of Liu Lang's guards who temporarily served as Liu Lang's guards were bared.
"What's the matter, Brigade Commander Chen, you see that Second Lieutenant Zeng is very awake, and he definitely hasn't dreamed." Liu Lang smiled.
"Ahem!" The regiment commanders and political commissars at the scene coughed collectively and wanted to laugh, but looking at the resentful Second Lieutenant Zeng, they were not too embarrassed to laugh.
After all, it's immoral to base one's happiness on the suffering of others, who are all disciplined people.
However, the smile on their faces had betrayed their true thoughts, and they were really happy and joyful now.
"Haha, little one, you deserve the attention of your group! Promising. The laughter of the red generals resounded in the sky.
It's not that anyone can be joked about by their superiors at will, looking at the entire independent regiment, there are really not many people who can make Liu Tuanzuo joke like this.
When he wanted to pat a grudge man on the shoulder to show encouragement, a grudge man quickly dodged aside. He can't afford to provoke any of these officials, but can't he still hide?
"Haha!" At this moment, everyone couldn't help but laugh out loud.
At this moment, no one cared that the little second lieutenant didn't give Brigade Commander Chen face, and everyone was immersed in the joy of the huge capture.
Although the number has not yet been counted, the four warehouses that are full of piles, plus all kinds of materials tightly covered with canvas stored in the open air, have been told to them unmistakably.
This time, I made a fortune.
It's definitely a fortune.
The first thing to be counted is munitions, which are the most important thing for all soldiers. With guns and artillery, the strength of the troops is strong, and food and clothing are not a problem. "Politics comes out of the barrel of a gun"! Taizu's old man's words were carried out in the minds of every red warrior.
Although the long list of ordnance was held by Brigadier Chen alone, the heads of the regiment commanders and political commissars almost did not surround their brigade commanders, and in the end, Brigadier Chen could only not enjoy happiness alone, and spread the list on the stones, and the big guys enjoyed the joy together.
At the top of the list were ordnance: 4,800 brand-new 38 caps with good gun oil had made these senior red officers who had been army commanders and division commanders almost have their hearts stopped. The number of rifles alone has already exceeded the number of rifles captured by the more than 9,000 Japanese rifles annihilated in one day today. 4,800 branches! Almost all the three infantry regiments here can be reequipped, plus the more than 4,000 branches captured during the day today, absolutely, the infantry belonging to the entire 129th Division sequence here, one branch per person, is enough.
However, this is only a pre-dinner dessert, and the real dish is yet to come.
76 Type 96 light machine guns, commonly known as "crutches", 36 7.7 mm Type 92 heavy machine guns, and 76 50 mm Type 89 grenadiers are real dishes. A brigade commander with two regiment commanders and two directors of the political department who were about to become political commissars collectively calculated in their hearts how many troops could be equipped with this.
If the current establishment of 6 light machine guns in a company of the red troops is calculated, it can be equipped with at least 12 infantry companiesγγγγγγ
However, the big dish is not a hard dish, the hard dish of the real town scene is: 5 70mm Type 92 infantry guns, 3 37mm Type 94 rapid-fire guns, 3 90mm Type 94 mortars, these guns alone can form an artillery battalion.
Among them, I am afraid that the most unpopular is the 160 southern fourteen pistols, and the red officers who have been dazzled by the guns only glanced at it and took the initiative to ignore it. A lot of things are good for the little devils, but this pistol is too scummy, and if you fire a few shots, it will definitely jam, and it will be almost the same when you take it back to the guerrillas.
It is easy to go from thrift to luxury, and it is difficult to go from luxury to thrift, this is what I am talking about. Langtuanza looked at the "faces" of these people and sighed silently on the side.
All right! In fact, Lang Tuanza is not interested in this garbage thing, and he doesn't even plan to put it in the seizure item, and is ready to send it to the Jindong Front Command as a personal gift.
In the early days of the war, the nurse of the Japanese army's baggage logistics unit was still very competent, and in just one week, she used a train to transport the materials that could support the two infantry brigades and regiments to fight for nearly a month to the front-line logistics base, and these guns were exactly 70 percent of the spare firearms assigned to the 20th Division by the North China Dispatch Army Command.
It's just that the Japanese army on the front line, which had been fighting for several days, didn't have time to replenish the spare guns, and it was all the results of the independent regiment and the 129th division.
With firearms, naturally, it cannot be without bullets and shells. As if to calm the hearts of the red officers who were calculating how many infantry companies they could equip and how many infantry battalions they could build.
Four million rounds of various machine rifle rounds were enough to support a fully reequipped infantry division for a major campaign, and 10,000 rounds of various shells were a bit wasteful, which was enough for the four mountain guns and three infantry guns captured earlier, plus the captured guns this time, to fight without hesitation for a year or two. 30,000 melon grenades are even more of a sweet annoyance, and the thought that each of their fighters can hang four is really enough.
If you change into a khaki uniform, how about a large Japanese infantry brigade plus an artillery brigade? Moreover, it also has stronger combat power than theirs.
I have to say that at this moment, a group of red officers who squinted their eyes were really floating.
