Chapter 724: Battlefield Discipline
In this battle, Li Ziyuan means either not to fight, but to fight with real momentum. Let the militia in the Ludong area also experience a real test of war. At the same time, in order to encourage the morale of the militia participating in the war, Li Ziyuan may give a not light reward. After all, for the militia, having a good gun in their hands is also quite an encouragement.
In the previous major battles of the main force, the captured weapons were not yet their turn to change their outfits for the time being. Although several main forces of the military sub-division eliminated a batch of Jin-made rifles, they were all distributed to the local armed forces. Even the weapons seized last time were not distributed to the militia. This time, Li Ziyuan, the head of the military sub-district, personally nodded and promised, and these militiamen were quite excited one by one.
When the fighting actually began, the morale of the militia was quite high. Especially after the puppet army regarded them as the old Eighth Road, and only blew up a few outlying strongholds and surrendered, these militiamen were very proud. But when it came time to face the core fortifications of the devils, the militia participating in the war was a little unbreathable.
Although two pillboxes were blown up one after another, they were faced with the tall, extremely sturdy turrets that erupted from all sides and were denied tongues of fire. Despite the ample ladders prepared before the war, in the face of the ever-increasing number of casualties, a considerable part of the militia, and even some militia cadres and backbones, still showed a trace of timidity.
It was not that these militias had not fought turrets before, but it was the main force charging in front, or the local backbone armed forces were the main force, and they were beating the side drums. This time, it was their turn to participate in the battle as the main force, and it was obviously a little unmotivated. Three charges were in vain, and except for one time when the barbed wire fence around the turret was blown up, there was no breakthrough at all.
By the time the fourth charge was finally attacked, the ladder that could be erected directly to the second floor had already been set up in position. As a result, the deputy company commander of the militia, who was the director of a district armed forces committee led by Ludong County, saw the rain of bullets being sprayed from the shooting holes of the turret, as well as the * thrown by the Japanese puppet army, and kept exploding around him.
At this time, he was holding the * in his hand, and he could solve the situation of the devil inside as long as he threw it, but he was a little afraid to move forward. The deputy company commander of the militia, who fought this kind of battle for the first time, finally jumped off again with a weak leg and timidity. As soon as he shrank his head, the morale of the others who were climbing behind him suddenly dropped.
Without waiting for the order, they withdrew one after another. And the scene where the deputy company commander jumped down at a critical time happened to fall into Li Ziyuan's telescope. Seeing this scene of failure, Li Ziyuan, who was a little annoyed, said to the two cadres of the sub-division beside him: "You bring a few people over immediately and tie up that bastard for me." ”
The two cadres who received the order did not dare to hesitate and immediately took the people of the divisional guard company to look for the guy. It was only a few minutes later that he came back and reported that the militia cadre had run away. Li Ziyuan, who was even more annoyed, immediately sent someone to ride on a horse to chase after him. When confessing, it is a sentence to see people in life and corpses in death.
Looking at Li Ziyuan's iron-blue face, Wang Jun, who had been with Li Ziyuan for a long time, knew that this was Li Ziyuan's real anger, and he was afraid that he would have to enforce battlefield discipline. I have been following Li Ziyuan for so long, and I know that Li Ziyuan has always regarded the lives of his subordinates as his own.
In the past few years, he has never been seen enforcing battlefield discipline. Even in peacetime, the punishment of cadres and soldiers who make mistakes is quite prudent. This time the face is so ugly, it is estimated that it must have been really angry. He wanted to persuade him, but was quietly stopped by the chief of the democracy movement section of the subdivision who was fighting side by side with him.
This chief of the democracy movement, although he has not really been on the front line. But he knew that if Li Ziyuan couldn't take some measures at this time, it was estimated that there would be no way to fight this battle. This is an escape, and you will never hold the board high and take it lightly anywhere. Therefore, he dragged Wang Jun, who is now familiar and has a very good relationship.
Under the flat terrain around Cao Baji, how can a two-legged one run over a four-legged one? The deputy company commander of the militia didn't run far before he was caught by the five flowers. After this guy was arrested, Li Ziyuan did not put down the telescope in his hand. For the cadres who reported, they just said with certainty that they should enforce battlefield discipline.
Hearing the words that came out of Li Ziyuan's mouth, the deputy company commander of the militia, who was scared enough after being arrested, piled up directly on the ground. He is a person who has participated in training camps and knows what battlefield discipline is. Since the chief said these four words, it means that his own life will be ruined in the hands of his own people this time.
The deputy company commander, who still had a glimmer of hope in his heart, pleaded with snot and tears to beg Li Ziyuan to give him a chance. Let him die in front of him, and don't let him die at the hands of his own people. He didn't mean to run, he was really scared at the time. If he was given a chance, he promised never again.
Listening to this guy's pleading with snot and tears, Li Ziyuan put down the binoculars in his hand and sighed slightly: "If you don't die, there will be no way to fight this battle." The morale of these personnel who participated in the war will be completely dissipated. You are also a cadre, and there are some things that you know, so you must die. ”
After saying this, Li Ziyuan waved his hand at the divisional judge general. Seeing Li Ziyuan's resolute attitude, others had the heart to persuade him, but they also knew that the discipline on the battlefield today was not enforced, and these militiamen, who did not have strict discipline in regular troops, would be chaotic if they did not do it well on the spot, so those who planned to persuade them all kept their mouths shut.
Whoever escapes from the battle will not be punished, and others will learn from it. There is a rain of bullets in front of you, and rushing up is nine deaths, even if you look at it, it makes people scared. Anyone has only one life, and if you lose your head, you can't grow it again. If you don't punish one, this one will sweep away ten, and ten will sweep away a hundred.
When the time comes, an undefeated will also be a defeat. What's more, this guy is still a cadre. The follow-up reaction triggered by his wavering was not comparable to that of a fighter. At the very least, his subordinates were quite hesitant when they rushed forward. Even some people, their eyes are constantly sweeping around, probably looking for an opportunity to escape.
Therefore, no matter who is in command of this battle, this battlefield discipline must be enforced. Because if it is not executed, it is very likely to cause a total collapse of the battlefield. This is also the reason why Li Ziyuan, who has never taken this method lightly, must enforce battlefield discipline today.
A gunshot rang out, and a cowardly deputy company commander was executed. I'm afraid that until his death, the deputy company commander of the militia did not understand why he was subjected to such severe sanctions. Because he did not know that the head of the sub-district who sentenced him to death had already treated the militia of the counties as if they were the backbone of the armed forces.
It is good to say that it is good to kill a hundred people, or to say that it is good to kill chickens and monkeys. Although we have received strict training in rectifying these things, battlefield discipline is still somewhat lax. The guerrilla habit of running away after a handful of fish is very difficult to get rid of in a short period of time. Especially now that the offensive has been frustrated, some casualties have begun to appear, and the morale of the previous high spirits has taken a sharp turn.
Sometimes if you don't make a quick decision, then this battle really stops fighting, or it is said that it can't be fought anymore. This gunshot told the militia in front of you, whether you are a militia or a local armed force. When you go to the battlefield, you are a soldier, and you must abide by battlefield discipline. No matter what level of cadre you are, if you violate battlefield discipline, you will be punished by military law.
When the gunshots passed, Li Ziyuan looked at the battle in front of him and said to the messenger beside him: "Give the order and launch a general attack." Tell the troops in front to adopt the method of advancing layer by layer, and push from the bottom to the top layer by layer. As for how to fight, I have already taught them when they were in training. At this time, if anyone forgets, even if he takes the turret and goes back, I will punish him. ”
After receiving the order, the correspondent quickly rushed to the front. The attack, which had been halted by the escape of a deputy company commander, was once again restarted. The militia at the front also adjusted their tactics under the command of the cadres leading the team, in addition to attacking the main entrance of the turret with a part of their troops, and with a part of their troops, they used ladders to throw arsonists and ** from the shooting holes.
The cadres and backbone cadres of the command this time quite strictly carried out the tactical requirements given by their superiors during the training. Massively used *, and assault detachments were organized. From the bottom a little bit, it is a slow but resolute upward attack. and the troops attacking with ladders outside adopted the method of throwing arson objects and * from the firing holes to distract and attract the attention of the defenders.
After fighting layer by layer, after a full two hours, he finally completely took Cao Baji's stronghold. However, in this battle, the militia participating in the battle also paid the price of nearly 80 casualties, most of which were casualties in the attack on the turret, of which more than 30 people were killed.
Although the rest of the injuries were not serious, most of them were fractures caused by the ladder being blown up by the Japanese army* and falling down, but there were also more than a dozen seriously wounded. Although the casualty figure is quite insignificant compared to the overall number of militias participating in the battle, it is also the first time in the entire Ludong region that so many militiamen have been killed or injured in a single battle.
Because before, the militia was scattered and rarely organized to fight in formation. Therefore, no matter how large the casualties are in a battle, there are more than 20 at most. Nearly 80 casualties were lost in this battle, which is definitely not a small number. That is, it has withstood the test, but it has also paid a certain price.
And after this battle, the previous sloppiness on the faces of these militiamen was gone, replaced by a resolute and confident face. Li Ziyuan also did what he said, and distributed all the weapons captured by the puppet army to the militia in each county participating in the war, except for light and heavy machine guns.
As the core stronghold, Cao Baji's large amount of ammunition stored because of the important strategic location has also become Li Ziyuan's trophy. Li Ziyuan transferred another batch of ammunition and issued an additional five rounds of ammunition to each militia participating in the battle. This made the militia participating in the war quite excited in addition to the grief caused by the death and injury of their brothers.
This large-scale sabotage campaign against the remnants of the Baijin Railway, mainly carried out by the militia, achieved considerable victorious results. A total of more than 300 Japanese troops and more than 1,000 puppet troops were annihilated on the whole front, and a large number of weapons and ammunition were captured. The remaining part of the Baijin Railway in Ludong was completely dismantled, and even the roadbed was completely destroyed.
At this point, as a railway, this railway, which the Japanese used the foundation built by the Chinese before the war, and then rushed to repair it to plunder the strategic resources of southeast Jin, has completely become a piece of history. A large number of dismantled rails were transported to the arsenal of the rear military district for the manufacture of weapons.
