Seeing that the chief of staff with a surprised face finally reacted, Wang Long told Chief of Staff Li Zuopeng of his plan to take Liangcheng immediately after the total annihilation of the enemy army, and the chief of staff Li Zuopeng, who listened, nodded again and again. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ.

"Chief of Staff, do you know where from Liangcheng to Datong is suitable for ambush warfare? I just sent the scout out out and haven't heard back yet? ”

"Division commander, there is a place called Santun Township 20 miles away from Liangcheng, on one side of the road is a stream about 20 meters wide, and on the other side is a hillside, that section of the road is 5 miles long, it should be able to load the enemy army." The chief of staff thought for a while and said affirmatively.

"Well, communicator, call the three regiment commanders and several battalion commanders directly under it, let's go to see the terrain together, and the troops continue to hide." Wang Lung ordered affirmatively. You must know that this time you have destroyed more than 10,000 enemies, and you have to be careful.

After introducing the newly arrived Chief of Staff Li Zuopeng to his three regiment commanders, several people were very happy, you must know that Li Zuopeng was still very famous in the ranks of the Red Army. After a few people exchanged pleasantries, under the escort of the guards, a group of dozens of people rode fast horses and arrived at this place in Santun Township in more than half an hour.

Seeing the terrain in front of him, the commanders of several regiments and battalions following behind him immediately shouted, "Division commander, such a good place, we can't do without it, just my regiment, I can also make the little devil drop a piece of meat." ”

"Why are you in the first regiment, can't my second regiment destroy the enemy, division commander, just hand over this task to our second regiment." After listening to the words of the first regiment leader Li Min, the second regiment leader Guan Liang said unconvinced.

Immediately several regimental battalion commanders began to quarrel, but Wang Lung ignored them and continued to walk forward on the hillside with the guards. But Chief of Staff Li Zuopeng didn't think so when he heard their quarrel, a regiment wanted to annihilate at least one brigade of the enemy, and he didn't dare to say such a big thing with a regiment before, but now a regiment commander can easily say such a thing, it seems that the strength of the 88th Division is really not to be underestimated! After this battle, you must take a good look at it.

Seeing that the division commander ignored them, several regiment commanders did not speak again, so they had to follow Wang Lung sullenly. Wang Lung looked at the terrain seriously, and from time to time asked the guards next to him for a few grenades to throw down the hillside, and several regiment commanders saw that the division commander was so serious, and they also began to get serious, and immediately checked the terrain separately, Li Min and Guan Liang kept stretching out their fingers and gesturing. Seeing that several officers were immediately able to seriously inspect the terrain, Wang Lung smiled.

An hour passed, and when everyone rode back to the troops on their horses, it was already noon, and Wang Lung immediately ordered the troops to eat lunch, rest for two hours, and rush to the position to build fortifications. After giving the order, he took the chief of staff to his temporary headquarters to begin to analyze the enemy situation, and the two carried out a clear division of labor, with Wang Long leading three regiments of infantry to build fortifications and be responsible for inspecting the fortifications and concealment of the troops, and Li Zuopeng, chief of staff, took all the heavy firepower to build fortifications and positions in a unified manner, and the reason for this arrangement was also to let the chief of staff have a clearer understanding of the firepower and combat mode of the 88th Division.

Two hours passed, and the troops began to set out for Santun Township, and at this time, the heavy firepower of each regiment and battalion was assembled at the artillery battalion and the heavy machine gun battalion respectively, and the chief of staff also came here. Due to Wang Long's notification to Li Min in advance, he began to introduce his 88th Division's firepower allocation to the chief of staff along the way.

"Commander Li, there are a total of six artillery batteries in the entire 88th Division?" The chief of staff still asked in disbelief, knowing that there was only one artillery company in the entire other corps, and there was an extreme shortage of shells.

"Hehe, Chief of Staff, it's not six, there are eight in total, and two have been transferred to other places by the division commander."

"Oh my God, there are so many, do you have enough shells?" The chief of staff asked again.

"Chief of staff, the average number of shells we bring with the team is 20 shells per gun, and I don't know about the shells stored by the logistics department, there should be one or two hundred rounds per shell, and these can only be known by asking the division commander."

Shocked, absolutely shocked, when did our Eighth Route Army have so much ammunition!

"Commander Li, where did you seize so much!"

"Hehe, Chief of Staff, this is thanks to the soldiers of the sniper company and the special regiment, they are the first to kill all the artillery in every ambush, so almost all the shells brought by this person are captured by us every time, and when we were in Datong, we captured all the logistics baggage and ammunition of a brigade."

Along the way, Li Zuopeng was completely shocked by Li Min and Guan Liang's words, and it seemed that he had come to the right place in the 88th Division. The chief of staff thought of this phrase for the second time.

In this way, they learned about the situation of the 88th Division all the way, and soon, the troops felt Santun Township, rested for half an hour, and sent out all the guard posts and scouts, all the troops began to build fortifications in full swing, and the infantry hurriedly dug trenches and made some cover, and the artillery and heavy machine gun battalions were busy choosing positions and measuring firing data. When he saw that the commander of the artillery battalion had divided all the positions into squares, and that an artillery company was responsible for several squares, he immediately raised questions.

"Chief of Staff, this is the method taught to us by the division commander and the commander of the Xuanyi Regiment, so that we can not leave a blind spot for shooting, and in the process of fighting, we can quickly carry out artillery bombardment according to the data of each square, so as not to let the enemy resist in a concentrated manner." Seeing the puzzled expression of the chief of staff, Li Min smiled and answered.

Hearing this, Li Zuopeng admired himself even more as a division commander, and he deserved to be the hero of the Eighth Route Army.

After several hours of hard work, all the positions were constructed, after the sentries were dispatched, after dinner, all the soldiers lay down in the trenches and began to rest, ready to replenish their strength for tomorrow's battle, while the regimental commanders sat down in the makeshift headquarters for the last meeting before the battle.

"Now the distribution of combat missions, the ambush order is clear to everyone, but we must fire in order according to tomorrow's enemy situation, if the enemy has only one brigade, then only one regiment, the guard battalion, three regiments and two battalions can open fire, all heavy firepower can be fired, we must be completely annihilated in the shortest possible time, after the total annihilation, regardless of whether the second regiment and the second brigade exchange fire, the first regiment must immediately rush to the fortifications built in advance and join the second regiment to participate in the battle of the second brigade of the total annihilation of the enemy, The two battalions of the 3rd Regiment rushed to a distance of 5 miles from Santun Township as fast as possible to block the enemy's possible follow-up troops, and the guard battalion stayed behind to clean up the battlefield and guard the prisoners, and the snipers of the sniper company and the special regiment had to participate in both battles, and the enemy must not be allowed to set up artillery and heavy machine guns. ”

"Chief of Staff, you command the ambush of the enemy army, after the ambush is completed, take the guard battalion to clean up the battlefield, I command the ambush of the enemy's second brigade, and, now send a report to the political commissar, let them quietly surround Liangcheng tonight, after the enemy's three brigades all drive out of the county seat, listen to my orders to carry out artillery bombardment, feint to attack the county seat, if the enemy's second brigade retreats, resolutely block it."

"Yes, Commander." Watching all the cadres walk out, Wang Lung breathed a sigh of relief, he could finally rest, closed his eyes, and fell asleep.

Wang Lung lay quietly on the position, it was almost ten o'clock now, the reconnaissance battalion reported, the enemy is really the same old way, each brigade is 10 miles apart from each other, soon, I saw the enemy's first brigade into their own ambush circle, although the enemy carried out reconnaissance, but when those scouts were approaching the ambush circle, they had unconsciously replaced all the comrades of the reconnaissance battalion of the 88th Division, and constantly reported to the "brigade commander" that everything was safe. Less than 15 minutes after the enemy's 1st Brigade had passed through the position of the 2nd Regiment, a burst of heavy gunfire was heard.

The chief of staff, the commander-in-chief of the ambush brigade, saw the enemy swaggering into the ambush circle arranged by the division commander, and couldn't help but shake his head for a while, why didn't even send a reconnaissance unit. However, this is a misunderstanding by the chief of staff, not that the enemy brigade commander is stupid, but that the reconnaissance battalion of the 88th Division is too powerful, and quietly solved the two reconnaissance companies of the enemy. And by this time, the 1st Brigade had all entered the ambush circle.

With the sound of his own gunshot, nearly 100 rifles of the sniper company remembered at the same time, and suddenly, almost all the commanders above the company level of the first brigade fell to the ground, and when the enemy had not yet reacted, the heavy machine guns and mortars opened fire one after another, and the riflemen threw out a grenade after firing a bullet, and the enemy soldiers who had just escaped the first round of shooting on the ground for their cleverness jumped up in the face of the group of grenades, and hid in a hidden place, trying to avoid the explosion of the grenade, But the moment they stood up, the bullet had already entered their bodies, and they fell in a pool of blood with a trace of unwillingness.

Looking at the firepower in front of him, looking at the enemy troops that are constantly falling, and then looking at his own soldiers, the chief of staff was stunned, no wonder the 88th Division was able to fight so many victories, especially when the first round of gunfire rang out, and when he saw almost all the commanders of the first brigade falling, Li Zuopeng couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, he knew that an unorganized army was a flock of lambs to the slaughter, and when the chief of staff continued to reverie, the regimental commander Li Min next to him pulled him.

"Chief of Staff, it's time to charge."

The chief of staff quickly reacted, ordered to blow the trumpet of the charge, looked at the soldiers who were swarming down, the prisoners who knelt on the ground and surrendered with their hands raised on the position, and the corpses on the ground, the chief of staff looked at his watch, and less than 15 minutes later, more than 5,000 people in three regiments of this brigade were gone, and he was like a dream.

The soldiers of the first and third regiments, looking at the weapons and ammunition all over the ground, did not take a second look, but under the leadership of their commanders, they quickly organized their formations and rushed to their next ambush position, leaving the guards to gather the prisoners and count the results. Soon, Xuanyi handed over the statistical results to the chief of staff.

Looking at the numbers above, the chief of staff's hands began to tremble, shocked, shocked.

"In this battle, 3 regiments and a brigade headquarters of the enemy army were annihilated, with a total of 5,200 people, including 1,200 prisoners, and countless weapons and ammunition were captured, including 12 mortars, 5 bases of ammunition, 18 heavy machine guns, 5 bases of ammunition, nearly 100 light machine guns, rifles, submachine guns have not been counted, and there are also 2 cars of gold and silver."

Shocked again, Li Zuopeng himself knew that he had never had such a big capture after taking the soldiers for so long! Can you not be shocked? At this moment, the battle to encircle and annihilate the enemy's second brigade was about to begin.

It turned out that when the enemy's second brigade received the rescue telegram from the first brigade, it immediately guessed that there was an enemy who wanted to ambush its own brigade, which was likely to be the 88th Division, and the surrounding troops wanted to completely annihilate a brigade of their own troops, which would take a certain amount of time. Ordered his troops to continue to accelerate their advance, and even forgot to send a telegram to ask.

Looking at the enemy soldiers who ran to the ambush circle out of breath, Wang Lung couldn't help but curse the modern version of "stupid" but did not forget to pull the trigger of the rifle in his hand. Immediately, all the artillery on the position began to roar, the machine guns began to spew deadly tongues of fire, watching the panting enemy troops continue to fall, there was not even time to react, and the rifles were not yet in their hands. Wang Lung felt a trace of unbearableness, and once again blew the trumpet in advance.

The enemy may have been really tired, and all the commanders were basically killed at the first time, and when they heard the Red Army's charge, it seemed that all the people breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately threw down their rifles and knelt on the ground, raising their hands. Looking at the captives, Wang Lung smiled bitterly, now there are so many soldiers to replenish.

After leaving one battalion to clean up the battlefield, Wang Lung took the remaining five battalions to the front to block the third regiment of the second brigade, although the third regiment was supported by heavy machine guns, but with the support of the enemy's artillery company, there had been great casualties, and the battle had entered a white heat, but they were all fighting to hold on to the last bit of strength.

After Wang Lung arrived at the position, he immediately ordered a battalion to support the third regiment, and the remaining two battalions outflanked the enemy's two flanks, and after a reinforced battalion went up, the third regiment finally stabilized its position, and slowly rushed over in the artillery battalion, and immediately built an artillery position, covered it with several artillery fire, and finally knocked out the artillery position that posed the greatest threat to the Red Army, and began to fire at the enemy's heavy machine gun position. At this time, the three regiments finally had the upper hand.

The commander of the enemy's 2nd Brigade was basically alive because there was no sniper company, and the commander of the enemy brigade was a very experienced general, after receiving telegrams from himself, the 1st brigade, and the division commander were interrupted. Immediately judging that the main force of the garrison division might have been finished, coupled with the sudden increase in the firepower of the Eighth Route Army on the blocking position, he was even more sure of his guess and immediately decided to withdraw his troops.

Maybe it was a trick of fate, just as he was about to give the order, fierce gunfire suddenly remembered from all sides, and mortars also began to shell fiercely at the places where the personnel of the 2nd Brigade were most concentrated. Listening to the constant gunfire around him, watching his troops continue to suffer casualties under the shelling, the commander of the enemy's second brigade finally couldn't stand it, and after learning that most of his troops had suffered casualties, the brigade commander's determination to resist was completely gone, and under the leadership of the brigade commander, soon, all the remaining troops of the second brigade surrendered.

When Wang Lung heard that nearly a regiment of troops from the enemy's second brigade had surrendered under the leadership of the brigade commander, listening to the cannon sound of the political commissar attacking Liangcheng, Wang Long's eyes couldn't help but light up, and he immediately had an idea.

Under the threat of Xuan San and others, the enemy telegraph operator quickly sent a telegram to the defenders of Liangcheng, the content was very simple: "Our unit was ambushed by the Eighth Route Army, and only two regiments of the Second Brigade of the whole division broke out of the encirclement and were retreating towards Liangcheng, arriving in an hour, and the car escorting gold and silver was captured by the Eighth Route Army. ”

After knowing that the telegram had been sent, Li Min and a group of soldiers who had changed their clothes began to approach the county seat of Liangcheng under the leadership of the commander of the enemy's second brigade. Due to Wang Long's order, the political commissar did not attack the west gate of Liangcheng County, and the troops quickly received the city gate. Guarding the gates was a battalion commander, who probably knew the commander of the 2nd Brigade, who opened the gates from a distance.

Seeing that the city gate was opened, Li Min was happy for a while, and immediately ordered the troops to enter the city according to the original plan, and when the battalion commander came to the city gate with a smile to greet the commander of the second brigade, the bayonets of the soldiers of the regiment who greeted him were indeed a regiment of soldiers, and under the threat of bayonets of a regiment and a battalion, except for some who were assassinated, the rest of the people obediently surrendered. The second regiment led by Wang Lung had been following the first regiment from a distance. After learning that a regiment had quietly captured the West Gate, he immediately ordered the troops to run forward and take over the West Gate. Ordered the remaining troops of the first regiment and the second regiment to divide into several routes, like arrows inserting everywhere in Liangcheng.

The street fighting was fierce, and it was fought from noon to evening before the devil brigade in the city was completely wiped out. Looking at the soldiers in front of him with gunpowder smoke on their faces, and the bodies of martyrs lying on the ground, Wang Lung burst into tears again, what a good soldier.

Watching the bodies of the martyrs being transported outside the city, and seeing the wounded being carried into the temporary ambulance shelter, Wang Lung silently shed tears.

Wang Lung didn't rush to let the soldiers count the results and clean up the battlefield, but just ordered the logistics to come up with the best things and let the soldiers rest well, because they were too tired.

The next day, all the cadres came to the temporary division headquarters for a meeting, some with depressed faces, some with smiles on their faces.

"Chief of Staff, read the results and losses!"

"Yes, Commander!" Li Zuopeng stood up and saluted all the cadres.

"Comrades, in this battle, we completely annihilated the garrison division of the puppet army, a devil brigade in Liangcheng County, with a total of 19,000 people, including about 6,500 prisoners (including the lightly wounded) and 800 seriously wounded. One brigade commander and two regimental commanders of the garrison division were captured. ”

Looking at the smiling cadres below, the chief of staff continued.

"Countless ammunition materials were captured, including 50 mortars, 66 heavy machine guns, nearly 200 light machine guns, more than 10,000 rifle pistols and submachine guns, countless ammunition, and even happier, all the logistics materials stored by the garrison division in Liangcheng, and 500 kilograms of gold and silver attacks within 20 percent, which can be described as a great result."

Wang Lung didn't speak after hearing this, and sat there quietly, "Chief of Staff, read the casualty data." ”

"Yes, division commander, in this battle, our army lost more than 2,500 people, more than 300 seriously wounded, and more than 1,000 people were slightly wounded, including 1,000 people in the first regiment, 700 people in the second regiment, 600 people in the third regiment, and about 150 people in the new regiment. The casualties of the 1st and 2nd regiments were mainly caused in the street battles with the devils, and the 3rd regiment was mainly caused by enemy artillery fire during the blocking battle with the 2nd brigade. ”

After listening to the casualty report, everyone was silent, you must know that this is the largest casualty of the 88th Division since its formation, can you not be sad? Watching the familiar comrades-in-arms come under the guns of the enemy, so many comrades-in-arms, after a battle, can no longer be seen.

"Comrades, I know that this division has suffered the largest casualty since the formation of the 88th Division, and I know that everyone is very distressed, but we are the highest commander of the army, and we still have so many cadres and fighters under our command, if you all collapse, then what will they do? Raise your head for me? Wang Lung finally couldn't help it anymore and roared loudly.

"Very good, now I order, the lack of personnel of the three main battalions of each regiment is all supplemented by the new regiments of their respective logistics departments, and the combat effectiveness of the three main battalions must be guaranteed, the artillery company reaches 20 mortars, and the heavy machine gun companies of each battalion are all equipped with 22 heavy machine guns, and in order to strengthen the melee firepower of each combat squad, it is now required to unify the firepower of the 88th Division, a combat squad of 14 people, the squad leader and deputy squad leader each have a shell gun to charge the front, one of which is a light machine gun, both of them must carry rifles, and there are two submachine gunners, Eight riflemen, all the main regiments were equipped with weapons of this standard, and those who could not buy enough to find the commissar. ”

"The second order is that Xuan Yi will no longer concurrently serve as the director of the logistics department, and the director of the logistics department will be the political commissar, and Xuan Yi will lead the head of the special regiment and the new regiment of the logistics department, with no limit under his jurisdiction, a baggage battalion of 2,500 people, and the missing personnel will be selected from the prisoners, and 20 people will be selected from the cadres brought by the chief of staff to serve as the backbone."

"Fourth, the artillery battalion and the heavy machine gun battalion each have only three battalions, and all the excess equipment is handed over to the logistics department, and the other two battalions each have a baggage company."

"Fourth, there will be one radio station for each regiment, two for the division headquarters and two for the logistics office, and all the remaining 12 stations will be handed over to the logistics office for safekeeping. Okay, that's all, Chief of Staff, you see, how many people there are in the whole division, and report it. Wang Lung looked at the chief of staff who was sitting next to him with notes.

"Comrades, our 88th Division has a total of 16,000 people according to the division commander's plan, hehe, I can't believe it, we are still a division." The chief of staff laughed and joked.

In this way, the 88th Division began a new round of rest and training, but the time was very short, only 2 days, but enough, in the words of a regiment commander, "one day of rest, one day of reorganization, and the rest of the actual combat training again, there are so many veterans, the combat effectiveness of the 88th Division must be improved rapidly." ”

Watching the training of troops in full swing everywhere in Liangcheng County, the chief of staff felt like he was in a dream. Thinking of the hard life of other legions now, lacking guns and ammunition, Li Zuopeng's brows furrowed again.

"Chief of Staff, look at your bad face, are you worried about other legions!" Seeing the chief of staff's constantly frowning brows, Wang Lung asked. The chief of staff did not speak, but nodded. Wang Lung handed over a piece of paper.

"15,000 sets of quilts, 200,000 catties of food, 36 mortars, 3,600 shells, 36 heavy machine guns, and 36,000 rounds of ammunition. 200 light machine guns, 50,000 rounds of ammunition, 10,000 rifles, 500,000 rounds of ammunition......" Looking at the above data, Li Zuopeng looked at the smiling division commander with a puzzled face.

"Chief of Staff, what are you looking at me like this, am I a beauty. Hehe, these are sent to the headquarters, let the headquarters distribute them to other legions, where did I get from the commissar just now, you see, if you agree, we can give them to them in a few days when we meet the commander-in-chief. What do you think? ”

"Division, so many? Oh my God? Let's talk about it, I don't know how many good things there are in the 88th Division? Li Zuopeng looked surprised and Xingxi hurriedly asked.

"Hehe, Chief of Staff, you're looking for the wrong person. Now you should ask Commissar Li, he knows better than I do. Wang Lung looked at the chief of staff with a rogue expression.

After saying that, Wang Lung went down and went to rest.

Blocking the kang, Wang Lung opened the system and saw that the meritorious service was already in time to summon people.

Wang Lung smiled and clicked on the summons.

After a while, a person appeared next to Wang Long, "Hello, Commander, Wang Feng reports to you." ”

"Well, now I give you a task, and now Long Yi is in charge of my safety, and I can't do without it, so your current task is intelligence work, I want to know all the information that the devils have sent to my department and the devils, can you do it?"

"Don't worry, Commander, I'll do it."

"Okay, Wang Feng, you go, I know that intelligence doesn't happen overnight, but now there is a point, we are now in the south and the next headquarters converge, and the devil will definitely send troops to encircle and suppress, and I want to know the route and time of the devil's puppet army."

"Yes, Commander, I see, then I'm leaving."

|“ Well, go for it, but be safe. ”

"Don't worry, Commander." 、

Saying that, he went out, looking at Wang Feng's distant back, Wang Lung was still a little worried, although Wang Feng had this strong strength, but the devil was not a vegetarian, the more he thought about it, the tighter Wang Lung's brows wrinkled, Wang Lung talked about it, but there was no way, now he can only do this.

"Long Yi."

"Commander, what's there?"

"Do you have any information from the personnel we sent to various countries?"

"Division commander, there is no information yet, how long has it been now, and it will take at least half a year and a year to take effect!"

Wang Lung looked into the distance and muttered, "It seems that I am in a hurry." ”
