The one hundred and forty-eighth round of troops

A bell in a bell, a bell in a bell...... The storytelling gong struck, and the rice bowl was turned around the audience.

Dajiangdong only seeks fame, but the 3,000-mile road is for money.

The years are old, and the absurdity is magnificent.

Ridiculous begging for a monthly pass! Let's be ridiculous. `(*∩_∩*)′

[148] Reinforcement of troops

Shi Jue and Ma Jizhuang felt that if this report was typed, at least Lao Jiang could know that Zhoushan was no longer defendable, and it was best for him to understand it himself, and then retreat in the face of difficulties and retreat the big guy to Taiwan. This ghost place is really impossible to stay, and Taiwan can't be compared, there are no brothels, restaurants, cinemas or anything, the whole countryside is just a village.

At present, Taiwan's First Fleet has completely lost the spirit that it had when it first came to Zhoushan, and its morale is as low as a frightened bird. The last air raid seems to be vivid, and Ma Jizhuang even dreams of being attacked by the air. So he ordered that all warships must be manned 24 hours a day, that the boilers should be ready to fire and escape from the harbor, and that all ships should be covered with camouflage nets with branches and grass leaves. Shi Jue densely arranged a large number of observation posts on the Zhoushan Islands, hoping to be able to detect the air attack aircraft at the first time. And to raise the alarm for the First Fleet and the garrison on the island.

Recently, the Zhoushan Islands have been quiet and frightening, and the People's Liberation Army has not attacked for a long time, except for the occasional few fighter planes escorting a bombardment five to take pictures. Shi Jue and Ma Jizhuang are more experienced, they know that this is the opponent is accumulating liliang, according to the lessons of the past, the calmer the army before the war, the bigger the battle. Shi Jue couldn't sleep at night, he was not the commander of the navy, and he could run away at any time. Ma Jizhuang's grandson has been eating and living on a warship recently, how can Shi Jue not know his calculations.

No, it's only the third day of the Lunar New Year, and something happened. How did Shi Jue know that as soon as the joint report between himself and Ma Jizhuang was hit, Lao Jiang actually approved it, and sent the Second Fleet to garrison the long-distance port on the long-distance island east of Daishan Island during the Chinese New Year, which was not the end, and pulled the three divisions of Hu Lian's 67th Army, who won the Battle of Kinmen, to the central and southern part of Zhoushan to defend Dinghai, and at the same time as a general reserve to reinforce other armies. In this way, although Shi Jue and Ma Jizhuang did not achieve their goal, they finally felt a little more stable.

After Lao Chiang's air force group in Puhai was completely annihilated, it stands to reason that he should have understood that he had lost the air superiority that he had always relied on to survive, and that it was necessary to withdraw his troops from Zhoushan as soon as possible.

But people can't pull down this face, the secret agent of the military command told him that the military circulated in the smooth mouth: "Defeat Zhoushan, with Taiwan", he couldn't sleep all night long, if Zhoushan is lost, there is no doubt that the next step for the army is to fight Taiwan, or Hainan, Taiwan is a poor place in the eyes of Lao Chiang, how can he be willing to flee to Hainan, which is more backward and remote, and has no industry? At least there are remnants of the Japanese in Taiwan to eat, what does Hainan have? Coconut?

"In any case, Zhoushan must be defended."

Lao Jiang suddenly became stubborn.

"Taiwan is different from Zhoushan, even if the supply army takes Zhoushan, Taiwan, which is far away from the mainland, will not be able to attack the supply army in the slightest, and if Zhoushan is not defended and evacuated like this, Taiwan's attack on the supply army will not be reduced in the slightest." He said this to Chiang Ching-kuo and other subordinates who had persuaded him to withdraw from Zhoushan.

Since Zhoushan is the same as Taiwan, weishenme is not guarded? Lao Jiang was determined to defend it first and scare the supply army. If the supply army really gathers a large army, the situation is not good, and it is not too late to leave.

Lao Jiang was very confident in retreating, in history, Lao Jiang relied on ships to get close to each other, and it took only three days for more than 100,000 people to evacuate from Zhoushan. After all, when he fled Taiwan, he swept up almost all the ships in the country.

After repeated defeats in these years, the Kuomintang troops have not gained nothing, and there is an experience in these gains: "If 3,000 shells cannot be fired, it is either three verticals or eight columns." The old Eighth Division is the main force of the three columns.

The old Eighth Division of the Third Column was reorganized into three regiments and was called "the tiger in Chen Yi's sleeve". Commander Chen Yi called it the "first-class corps" of the East China Army.

In February 1949, the East China Military Region was expanded into three divisions based on the three regiments of the old Eighth Division of the Third Column.

Among them, 24 regiments were expanded to 64 divisions.

The remaining 22nd and 23rd regiments, which were based on the old Red Army companies of the 115th Division, were expanded together to form the 65th Division in order to continue this proud history.

The 66th Division is the Ninth Division of the original Third Column, which was adapted from the 10th and 11th Brigades of the former Shandong Military Region Garrison.

After discussion and decision at the joint operational meeting of the navy, land, and air forces of the East China Military Region, the campaign to liberate Zhoushan will be carried out in the form of a flank attack from the north and south, and the sea, land, and air forces will be carried out simultaneously. The 21st, 22nd, and 23rd armies of the Seventh Corps were responsible for the attack in the north, and the 20th, 26th, and 27th armies of the Ninth Corps were responsible for the attack in the south.

There is no doubt that the 22nd Army, which grew up from the old 8th Division in the north, will be the main vanguard landing force, and they will first launch a landing operation on the big island of Zhoushan. After receiving the combat order, Sun Jixian, commander of the 22nd Army, and Ding Qiusheng, political commissar. I feel a great responsibility, but I also feel a great honor.

The island landing operation is not as good as the march of the field army in the past, and many factors have become uncertain due to the existence of the ocean. For example, will the landing force be carried by ocean currents and cause the ships to deviate from the direction, and the Zuihou landing site will not match the location of the intended landing site? This is the painful lesson of the Battle of Kinmen, which is close at hand. For example, after the landing, will the follow-up troops be able to keep up? In the face of the enemy's stubborn and frantic resistance, will the troops' ammunition be able to withstand the depletion? If there is an encounter like in the Battle of Kinmen, the enemy's armored forces launch a surprise attack on our army, will our army be able to withstand it? Will there be heavy casualties? All of this is something that must be considered as a commander.

Commander Sun held the aerial pictures sent by the headquarters in his hand and looked at them over and over again. He flipped over and down, comparing the enemy dispositions already marked on the map with photographs. Through high-altitude reconnaissance, the bombardment 5 took a large number of photos at high speed and very clearly, and every beachhead pillbox, every enemy trench, and every highland machine-gun position were clearly visible in the photos.

Because our army now occupies air superiority, the flight reconnaissance carried out by our Fifth Bomber Reconnaissance Force is somewhat "unscrupulous," lingering over the Zhoushan Islands, and even the gun positions of the concealed small-caliber antiaircraft guns built by the enemy on the mountains are clearly illuminated. Obviously, these gun emplacements were not used to hit planes, and firing at the beachhead in front from these hills close to the beachhead would undoubtedly cause heavy casualties to the landing troops.

While studying, Sun Jixian was thinking about how to assign this task to his comrades. Although the landing operation was drawn up by the headquarters, the taste of the landing operation was ultimately determined by the quality of a corps commander and his soldiers. It's like telling you in advance what dishes to come out, what kind of condiments and what kind of ingredients to give you, but the taste of zuihou is different from person to person, some chefs can make outstanding deliciousness, some dishes have a bland taste, and some can burn good dishes into a pot of charcoal, and even some chefs can simply mess up the pot for you.

But now Commander Sun is full of confidence that he will be able to make this dish fragrant and delicious. He knew very well in his heart that the current 22nd Army was unprecedentedly powerful. If we say that the 22nd Army in the past dared not to be afraid of sacrificing two or three armies to touch the enemy, or in the face of the encirclement and suppression forces of three or five armies, it was able to cover other troops to the death, or when facing the enemy's dense defense and firepower of one army, it was able to bravely break through the enemy's defense and crush the opponent. However, today, Commander Sun dares to say. The 22nd Army now dares to go up and beat even if it faces several times the enemy, and as long as the ammunition is enough, he can eat all the two or three armies of the enemy in front of him.

The 22nd Army was the first unit to change its equipment, and in accordance with the instructions of the central authorities, it was not five or six and a half or five or six chongs that they were fully reequipped, but the first batch of weapons that Xiaoqiang brought back -- the eighty-one bar.

Sun Jixian still remembers the scene when he first saw the scene of the Bayi bar firing. The full 30-round magazine, the eyes were gone in the blink of an eye. The bullet flew out of the chamber and poured down exactly at the target. According to the ammunition volume of four magazines plus 120 scattered rounds for a single soldier, it is really a bit insufficient. Even if this operation was considered to be more special, and the vanguard unit was doubled with ammunition, Sun Jixian was still a little worried. After all, after the fight, the red eyes of the killing, must not be too much. So he had to emphasize saving bullets recently, and it is better for one person to fire in bursts than to shoot at multiple people.

Sun Jixian understood what it meant for an entire army to be equipped with this automatic rifle called Bayi Bar! With such powerful firepower, no matter what kind of enemy he faces, Sun Jixian feels that it is not a problem. Sun Jixian dared to pack the ticket and equipped the troops of the Bayi Bar, and one of his companies would be stronger than a regiment of other troops when they landed.

What's more, Sun Jixian didn't just get the Bayi bar. As for those Type 69 40 mm caliber rocket launchers, after watching the demonstration at first, Commander Sun almost treated them as treasures. As a result, the Central Military Commission gave him an open supply, and in addition to the original three infantry platoons, each company of the 22nd Army set up an additional firearms platoon, and each firearms platoon had two firearms squads, and each squad of six soldiers was equipped with three rocket launchers and carried 24 rockets. The main bazooka shooter has one back projectile for three bullets, and the bazooka secondary shooter has five bullets and one back projectile. Such a company had 6 rocket launchers and 48 rockets. Sun Jixian was dumbfounded at the time, and said in his heart that he would be afraid of a bird armored car tank car in the future! Lao Tzu's company is afraid that from today onwards, it will not be able to meet something with iron sheets! In the future, Lao Tzu will see one and fight another! Never let go of a shelled one! Which company can't withstand armored vehicles and tanks, and the company commander jumps into the sea himself.

There is also the kind of Type 85 Gaoping dual-purpose heavy machine gun, after it was issued to the troops, each battalion set up a heavy machine gun company, a company with three platoons, a platoon with three squads, each squad is equipped with a Type 85 Gaoping dual-purpose heavy machine gun, and a company with a full 9 heavy machine guns! Each heavy machine gun is equipped with two 60-round cartridges and four 60-round chains. All the Heavy fell in love with the treasure at the sight of it, and no one thought of the pheasant's neck as something terrible. The supply base of this single machine bullet is so large that Sun Jixian thought that the central government had made a mistake in the numbers at first, and only after repeatedly confirming it did he really believe that 360 rounds per plane was really a base. Commander Sun felt that any battalion commander with such a nine-machine heavy machinery company would have no reason to suffer defeat in the future. That would be the Daxiao dialect of the whole army.

Each infantry platoon of the 22nd Army was issued with an 81 type light machine gun, each light machine gun was equipped with four 75-round drums, the main gunner with two drums and 200 rounds, and the secondary machine gunner with two drums plus 300 rounds.
