Chapter 451: Long Drive
When Zhao Rongjun arrived at the crossfire site with a reinforced platoon, the smell of gunpowder had already dissipated.
This is the area south of Nanxing Town, an easy-to-defend and difficult-to-attack position, which has never been the focus of the enemy's breakthrough, so only one squad of troops has been stationed here for a long time, which plays a minimum preventive role. Once the battle began, the main company was able to reinforce within two hours.
The problem was that the battle was over in two hours.
And it's not a defensive operation, it's an offensive operation!
Zhao Rongjun asked the platoon commander on the position (the cadre is in charge of the position) with a cold face, "What's going on?" β
The platoon commander said with a bitter face, "Company commander, I'm also confused." More than an hour ago, there was a sudden sound of gunfire, which was very intense, and I ordered the troops to enter the position to fight according to the plan, and at the same time reported to the company. I don't know how many people came out of nowhere, and they were directly killed in the opposite position. I thought it was our soldiers, so I hurriedly pressed up to support. The combat quality of those people was very powerful, and a single shock knocked out the enemy troops of a reinforced squad on the opposite side, each of them had at least two spears, and the firepower was very fierce. β
The platoon commander bowed his head and said, "I was about to ask their unit, but I didn't pay attention, they ran away, ran south, there was no order, I didn't dare to go deep!" β
He was also aggrieved, fought a confused battle, didn't know what was going on from beginning to end, just followed the gunshots. Can you not fight, there is an exchange of fire in the area you are responsible for, fight first and then talk about it, how do you know that it is not a sign of an enemy attack.
The whole thing happened too quickly and ended too much, and there was a straight-line distance of more than a kilometer from here to the enemy's position, and the actual distance was more than that. Those few men actually stormed into the enemy's position in more than an hour, and the platoon commander didn't even know where they came from. In that case, he had no choice but to press up with a squad of fighters to provide support.
However, he didn't even see what those people looked like, only a few flexible backs.
Looking at the time, it would be 6:30 in the evening, Zhao Rongjun asked, "How many people?" β
"Seven or eight people, maybe twelve or thirteen people, company commander, I can't count. Judging from the firepower and the speed of their attack, it must be a reinforcement squad, and they are all masters, otherwise it would not have been possible to capture the enemy's position in such a short time. The platoon commander said firmly.
Zhao Rongjun frowned, he knew that there had been no sortie in the past few days, and the brother troops had not pulled out some combat operations. The question of where those people came from is to be clarified.
From the Tiger tank company to the infantry company commander of the border troops, from the Western Front to the Eastern Front, Zhao Rongjun's position change seemed to be flat, but in fact he was demoted. The gold content of an infantry company commander cannot be compared with that of a tank company commander.
Zhao Rongjun asked, "What about the casualties?" β
"There were no casualties on our side, and one recruit twisted his foot." The platoon commander stood up straight at this time and puffed up his chest and said, "There are no casualties among those unknown people, and the battlefield is full of enemy corpses." We annihilated seventeen enemy troops. β
At this moment, they were standing on the enemy position. This point is ours, and sooner or later we will start a point operation. This time it's good, just one class to take it.
After receiving the news, Zhao Rongjun was keenly aware of this, so he brought an infantry platoon with a reinforced artillery squad and immediately launched a defense on the position to guard against the enemy's counterattack.
He reported the situation to his superiors by wired telephone, and at the same time asked if there were any reconnaissance units in action, and it was obvious that he would not get any definite information for a while.
With this done, he put all his energy into reinforcing the fortifications and preparing them for defense. The first thing he did was to organize a vigilance team to occupy several commanding heights around it. The cadres at the bottom should not take it seriously, and as the supreme commander here, he must clearly understand the fact that the opposite side is Mengcai Town, and in the large-scale war on the Eastern Front battlefield that year, the first city to be captured was only separated by a river.
Therefore, he must be fully mentally prepared to deal with a large-scale counterattack by the enemy.
The enemy commander was so depressed and depressed that he even found that the Huaxia had already occupied it when he sent personnel to reconnoitre, only to know that the outpost had changed hands, and none of the soldiers stationed there survived.
In fact, Zhao Rongjun's worries were unnecessary, because the regimental commander of the enemy army on the opposite side, as the supreme commander of this section of the border defense line, after learning that the outpost position was lost, issued the first order to let his subordinate troops enter a defensive combat state, and there was no offensive plan at all!
Because the regiment commander was worried that this was a precursor to a large-scale attack by the Huaxia Yankees!
So there was a funny scene, both sides were worried that the other side would launch a large-scale attack, but Zhao Rongjun judged that the enemy army was likely to launch a retaliatory operation, and the enemy commander judged that the Huaxia Yankees were very likely to carry out a second large-scale operation.
Everyone is worried, everyone has no offensive plan, everyone is worried, and in fact the wind is calm.
As a front-line camp, Mengcai Town, which has been under military control for many years, the enemy's troops are carefully and nervously mobilizing and adjusting their defensive deployments. They don't dare to make too big moves, because almost every move here is watched by the Huaxia Yankees, and once the troop assembly area is exposed, the Huaxia Yankees' rocket artillery, canons, howitzers and whatnot, are not joking with you.
The lightly armed Red Star Commando had already passed through Mengcai Town and arrived at Haiyun Town. It is a small town on the east side of the estuary, and because it is an important port for the Monkey Navy, it has a heavy army.
At this time, it was already the evening of the next day.
Li Lu named the five-person commando team the Red Star Commando, suddenly came in from the border position of Mengcai Town, used a little strategy, mobilized Zhao Rongjun's troops to provide support and cover, and took the opportunity to infiltrate, so far, twelve hours have passed.
On the small hill covered with dense forests on the south side of Haiyun Town, Li Lu lay on the ground and observed the town and the military port area that occupied almost half of the town. Wan Shan lay beside him, his eyes scanning his surroundings vigilantly. In other positions, the other three formed defensive positions, scattered all over the place.
After a battle of raiding the enemy's position, Guo Jianyang and Wu Sanpao were completely convinced of Li Lu, and Li Lu's prestige was quickly established in their hearts. They had all fought the enemy, and knew how difficult it was to lay down an enemy position that was guarded by an infantry squad, and that it was not an independent infantry squad, with other units in the flanks ready to provide support.
Because of this, especially Guo Jianyang, who was born as a cadre, admired Li Lu even more. From one point of view, the more flexible the organization, the higher the requirements for the commander's tactical quality.
What stunned Guo Jianyang was that he even felt that all of them together couldn't compare to the enemies that Li Lu shot aloneβhe was almost empty!
Li Lu worked very hard, and he knew very well that in order for everyone to remain calm and obey his orders 100 percent when the fire of revenge was burning, he had to show superb command quality and combat quality.
Putting down the binoculars, Li Lu looked at the time on his watch and whispered, "Rest in place and enter the city after dark." β
"Understood." Wan Shan Dao immediately asked worriedly, "Squad leader, will they go to other ports?" β
Li Lu shook his head, "No, this is the only military port for monkeys here, and they will only come back here." I'm worried that they'll be intercepted by our navy, and that will be in trouble. β
Not being able to kill that enemy special forces team with his own hands is a regret for the five members of the Red Star Commando Team in their lives!
Wan Shan said, "Squad leader, let me go and feel the situation first." β
He knew that Li Lu was going to go out to reconnoiter in person. After fighting side by side with Li Lu for so many years, many things do not need to be communicated in words, and when the battle reaches a certain point, what Li Lu will do, Wanshan is basically clear. Li Lu just let him rest in place and did not arrange to go out to reconnoitre, the problem is that it is impossible to wait until dark without reconnaissance and then go headlong into the city, that is a fool's doing.
Therefore, it is not difficult to judge that Li Lu is going to go out to reconnoiter in person again.
Sure enough, Li Lu shook his head and said, "No, you can't speak monkey language." Call Guo Jianyang, he can speak the monkey language interpreted by Mengcai. β
Wan Shan could only obey the order, but he couldn't figure out how to figure out when Li Lu learned to speak the language of monkeys?
They were all dressed in enemy clothing, and except for Wu Sanpao's which was a little ill-fitting, the others at least didn't have much of a problem in appearance. However, not only Wu Sanpao, but also Li Lu and these people are generally taller than the monkey soldiers.
Li Lu and Guo Jianyang began to disguise themselves face-to-face, Guo Jianyang was not used to this method at first, but he soon understood that this was the most efficient and effective way. In disguise, Li Lu and Guo Jianyang did not pretend to be the regular army of the enemy army, but pretended to be their militia. This is more conducive to their actions, and the odds of being detected are greatly improved.
Hiding only a short gun and a triangular thorn, and carrying two grenades as a last guarantee, the two of them went out of the concealed area, found a winding path, and walked to the town in a grand manner.
People who have been to the war zone will find a strange phenomenon: on the Chinese side, even if it is only a few kilometers away from the line of fire, in the small-scale exchange of fire that has lasted for more than ten years, the living conditions of the border people have not changed much. Even some border dwellers would go to work close to the boundary marker, because it was his field.
If you fight again, then you have to eat, right?
As a result, the soldiers on the position who are like facing the enemy usually see our border people working on the flat ground between the two armies, and a few shells come from the opposite side, and the border people skillfully use tactical actions to find cover to avoid the shelling, and then the soldiers on our position give the enemy a fierce return fire.
From another point of view, this war has not been taken seriously by many Chinese people at all, because the Chinese people have never thought that the monkeys have any qualifications to be equal to themselves, it is a fly that can be slapped to death. The poor monkeys thought they were the third in the world, like a frog at the bottom of a well that did not know the height of the sky.
On the monkey's side, hundreds of kilometers from the line of fire, it can be said that it is completely militarized, everything is in the service of the war, and any normal production and labor is unimaginable, because if they don't try their best to eat the last bit of strength, there is no way to hold on!
After the large-scale battle, the monkey has realized that compared to the northern giants, he is really pitifully weak, and any more self-deception can only be a result of self-inflicted humiliation.
To get back to the point, when Li Lu and Guo Jianyang sneaked into the town, the family on the side of Lugang was anxious to become ants on a hot pot.
It has been more than 24 hours since he could get in touch with Li Lu, and no one had any way to keep his composure, everyone knew that Nanxing was a war zone, and he was originally opposed to Li Lu taking risks, but no one could stop Li Lu.
The office of the director of the office building of the Red Star Factory was full of smoke, and everyone's faces were solemn, Li Yaohua sat at the desk, asked for a cigarette and lit it and smoked it, and was choked and coughed violently.
Li Lu was not there, and Li Yaohua took on the important task of presiding over the overall situation. He is the director of the Red Star Factory, and at the same time Li Lu's eldest brother, there is no more suitable person than him.
Ma Jintao and Yao Taihang sat on the sofa, they didn't smoke, but they didn't hate the smoke either. Bi Xiaolong sat on a high stool, smoking a cigarette while thinking about his thoughts. Li Daniu stood by the door, holding his arms, his face angry. Li Quanbin and Lin Peisen sat together smoking cigarettes with solemn expressions.
These are all the high-level people who know the news at home. Fenyuan and Guoguang Building Materials Factory didn't know that Li Lu had lost contact, and Li Yaohua definitely didn't dare to tell his family about it.
got up and walked to the window and opened all the windows, Li Yaohua just turned around, he heard the sound of running outside, and everyone's eyes looked at the door, expecting good news.
Liu Guisong ran in, panting, and seeing that everyone was staring at him, he rolled his throat with difficulty, and finally said with difficulty, "News came from the front line that the third brother's convoy had been attacked and his whereabouts were unknown. β
"Fart! No way! Li Daniu said angrily and roared, "When the third child was in the Old Guangming Factory before, wasn't he also rumored to die on the battlefield once, what happened!" This is definitely fake news! β
At any time of his retirement, Li Daniu has basically entered the situation of the high-level, and he knows that when Li Lu was working in the old Guangming Factory, he was rumored once.
"Uncle Niu, this is the news that the Inland Port Branch of the Central Southern Bureau got from the front-line intelligence department." Liu Guisong said.
In this, everyone knows that Li Lu has a deep relationship with the Central Dispatch Southern Bureau, and the Central Dispatch Southern Bureau will definitely attach great importance to it.
"Looks like it's true." Ma Jintao let out a long sigh.
