Chapter 281: South to Shandong (3)
Jiang Yunshan is different from Wei Peng, and now Jiang Yunshan is already the brigade commander of the field infantry brigade, so he is still clear about many secrets of the military region. In addition, according to the plan of this reorganization, almost all the officers who were transferred abroad were demoted, so this matter must be explained to them. Therefore, Jiang Yunshan knew very well the important surname of this mission, and Jiang Yunshan couldn't help but feel proud in his heart to be named by the commander to go south.
I only heard Han Yunhua say loudly: "Jiang Yunshan, I now officially appoint you as the commander of the first battalion of the Yi [***] regiment, and you will temporarily command the second battalion before Tong Jiayong returns to the establishment." Like the Reading Force, all the officers of the unit were immediately appointed, and then they went to the arsenal of the military region to find Political Commissar Zuo and Minister Yang. After changing your clothes, I will rush to Tianzhen County immediately, and I will tell you what to do when the time comes. ”
Wei Peng and Jiang Yunshan thought that the change of clothes must be that the military region would have new and advanced weapons and equipment again, and they couldn't help but feel happy in their hearts. But when Zuo Quan told them the model of the equipment they were about to change, Jiang Yunshan and Wei Peng couldn't believe that the change of clothes was actually to replace the advanced and powerful weapon in their hands with a slightly inferior weapon.
The Reading Brigade was a little better, except that more than half of the fighters had replaced their light machine guns and submachine guns with sniper rifles, and the rest were almost unchanged. But the field troops led by Jiang Yunshan were different, mortars, grenadiers and even heavy machine guns were all replaced, and the most unacceptable thing for Jiang Yunshan was that even the military uniforms on his body were changed. In addition to two bandit outfits made of thick linen, each soldier was only given a temporary Type 38 rifle and 10 melon grenades. And there were only two light machine guns per platoon, and there was nothing else, and the armament was more than a notch lower than before.
However, there are some similarities between the Reading Brigade and the Field Army, that is, all the soldiers of the two units must carry 450 rounds of ammunition each, while the fighters of the machine gun group need to carry five base ammunition. Moreover, the military commanders of the two armies received orders to carry as much ammunition as they could, and only allowed to bring more and not less.
There is a basis for Han Yunhua and others to order each soldier to carry 450 rounds of ammunition, and each soldier of the army usually carries a base number, and the so-called ammunition base is a unit of calculation for the supply of ammunition, and the base quantity is the quantity or weight of a base amount specified for a single piece of equipment. The standards shall be uniformly laid down by the highest leading organ of the armed forces in accordance with the level of national industrial production, the carrying capacity of the troops, the tactical and technical capabilities of weapons, and the general law of consumption. Simply put, without compromising combat effectiveness, a fighter can carry up to the maximum amount of ammunition that meets his own battle. For example, a submachine gun has an ammunition base of 300 rounds, and an 82 mortar has an ammunition base of 120 shells. This is a unit of calculation, which is an ammo base for a gun.
The base is the unit of calculation for a material. Not only ammunition, but also fuel and war materials are calculated using the base number, and even daily necessities such as food are sometimes calculated using the base number, but this situation is rare. However, the base number is not immutable, the base number is not an immutable unit of measurement, and the base number standard is different for different weapons and equipment. For the same weapon, the standard for the base of a single gun and a single artillery is also different from that of a regiment or a division, that is to say, the base of ammunition is also different for different establishments.
According to the base standard, the troops can scientifically determine the amount of reserves in peacetime and the amount of travel in action. Stipulating the ammunition base can bring great convenience to command and support, as it not only facilitates the issuance of orders, instructions, and other documents by the superiors, but also facilitates the ordnance departments at all levels to calculate the amount of ammunition and report the degree of ammunition support to the superiors and chiefs. The use of ammunition bases not only simplifies and normalizes the large and complex numbers, but also facilitates calculation, supply, memory and secrecy. Therefore, when stockpiling, requisitioning, reimbursing, and replenishing ammunition, it is often expressed in terms of the base number. It is usually seen as an integer, but sometimes it is expressed as a decimal, such as 1.5 bases, 3.0 bases, or 0.2 bases.
Han Yunhua knew that the ammunition base of a single soldier in the Yue army was 150 rounds, which meant that under normal circumstances, each soldier would have to carry at least 150 rounds of rifle ammunition. And after the Yi [***] regiment went south to Shandong, the replenishment of ammunition for the troops became a problem. If you only carry one base amount of ammunition, then you may not be able to reach Shandong, and you may run out of all the ammunition you carry. You must know that along the way, we do not know how many enemy blockade lines we will have to cross and how many battles we will fight, and although this trip to the south requires absolute secrecy in principle, it is very difficult to achieve absolute secrecy. In addition to the pseudo-forces along the way, there are also many local landlords, armed bandits, and gangs, and even the forces of the Daomen gangs, and even the Kuomintang army that needs them to take care of it, and if they carry less ammunition, the consequences will not be ordinarily serious. In particular, it was even more difficult to obtain the special weapons used by the Reading Power Brigade, so Han Yunhua replaced all the weapons of the Special Operations Brigade that were difficult to replenish ammunition, such as ship-based anti-aircraft machine guns and individual small steel cannons.
Because what is needed for this southward movement is speed, so the Yi [***] regiment has no regimental headquarters and no logistics support troops, and each soldier has to carry a large amount of ammunition in addition to a certain amount of compressed food. In order to ensure the smooth progress of the southward journey, Han Yunhua specially sent a telegram to Nie Rongzhen, commander of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region, hoping that the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region could provide a little food at a fixed point on their way south.
Of course, Han Yunhua did not tell Nie Rongzhen that he was going to lead the troops south, but said that there were two battalions of soldiers from the Inner Mongolia Military Region who were going to the 129th Division in southern Hebei on business, not to mention that he himself belonged to one of the people who went south. So no, you don't need to bring much dry food, just enough for three or two days in case you need it.
At about half past four in the afternoon, Wei Peng and Jiang Yunshan led the troops to set off, while Han Yunhua led the guard team to stay in Guisui, his own goal was too big to go during the day. For the sake of insurance, Han Yunhua could only wait until the evening before leaving, anyway, this time he went south in batches. Besides, he doesn't know when he will come back, so Han Yunhua must arrange his home. The special operations squad that was transferred to the general backyard of the military region to protect Yuhan and Sihan was once again strengthened by Han Yunhua, and a whole special operations squad of 40 people was transferred by Han Yunhua to the general backyard.
The guard regiment has three infantry battalions, a cavalry battalion, an artillery battalion, an engineer battalion, a fire support battalion, a tank battalion, a baggage battalion, a communications company, a guard company, and a special operations team. Han Yunhua's decision stunned the entire military region, and a guard regiment actually had nine battalions, two companies, and a special operations squad under its command, which was more than five times larger. Moreover, the supreme commander of this battalion is still Han Yunhua's own sister, which no one will believe if Han Yunhua has no selfishness.
However, Han Yunhua didn't care about this, he knew the combat habits of the Eighth Route Army, if it was impossible, once it encountered a major setback, in order to preserve its vitality, the Eighth Route Army would have to transfer at most. The transfer may sound good, but it actually leaves the common people under its jurisdiction to the enemy. This is not to say that the Eighth Route Army does not care for the common people, but that is the objective need of fighting under difficult conditions. Now the Inner Mongolia Military Region seems to be strong, but it is surrounded by strong enemies, and one careless person is likely to have heavy casualties, so Han Yunhua must leave enough force to protect his family and some important people, such as those from Germany.
Although Han Yunhua was discussing with Political Commissar Zuo and Shen Yuquan, for the sake of Han Yunhua's personal reputation and prestige, both Political Commissar Zuo and Shen Yuquan did not agree with Han Yunhua's suggestion. Obviously, if this matter is caught by someone with a heart, then Han Yunhua has almost no room for refutation.
However, Han Yunhua didn't care, in Han Yunhua's heart, he, a soldier, would only exist on the battlefield of resistance, and the future liberation war had nothing to do with him. As for what the party said about him, Han Yunhua didn't care. The greatest task of his existence is to drive the devil out of China, and if possible, to teach the dog a bloody lesson, so that the Oriental Japanese can know the true meaning of "those who offend my Chinese will be punished even if they are far away". Therefore, Han Yunhua insisted on expanding the guard battalion into a guard regiment, and the safety of the headquarters was of paramount importance, and the safety of those guests from Germany was of paramount importance, and there was no room for any mistakes.
In view of Han Yunhua's insistence, Shen Yuquan had no choice but to suggest that the guard battalion should still be expanded, and Han Yunqian would still serve as the commander and political commissar of the guard regiment, but the establishment of the guard regiment should not be announced to the public for the time being, and the cavalry battalion, the engineer battalion, the fire support battalion, and the baggage battalion were all called supplementary battalions. As a result, the guard battalion had only three infantry battalions, a chariot battalion, and an artillery battalion and a supplementary battalion, which, although still much larger than an average regiment, sounded much better than nine battalions.
This suggestion was unanimously agreed by Han Yunhua and Zuo Political Commissar, although Zuo Quan knew that Han Yunhua did violate the relevant party discipline and military regulations by doing so, but he also understood Han Yunhua very well. After all, there are many secrets of the Inner Mongolia Military Region that cannot be publicized in the outside world, and some people in the party are always staring at the hundreds of thousands of elites in Han Yunhua's hands, which makes Han Yunhua feel a crisis. It doesn't matter if he lives or dies personally, anyway, he has earned a lifetime in vain when he is reborn in this era. But Li Yuhan and Xiao Sihan and those friends who came from Germany to oppose Hitler could not have any accidents, and Zuo Quan also knew that his strength was limited, and maybe he would be transferred to another place that day, so he also agreed that Han Yunhua had a trustworthy force in his hands for emergencies.
The expansion of the guard battalion was handed over to Shen Yuquan and Yang Ruihua, and he himself was ready to say goodbye to Yuhan, after all, it was the second day of their wedding, and as a husband, he felt very incompetent. But he had no way, and as a soldier, it was his mission to fight. As a party member, he must obey the decisions of [***] and the Party Central Committee.
At six o'clock in the evening, knowing that Han Yunhua was leaving, Zuo Quan, Shen Yuquan, Li Dayong, Chen Geng, Yang Ruihua, Guo Weidong, Liu Mingyuan and others came to Han Yunhua's dormitory one after another to say goodbye. Because Han Yunhua's southward journey was carried out in secret this time, the Flying Dragon Special Combat Team put the entire dormitory area under martial law, and no one could stay except Han Yunhua and others.
Li Yuhan had long known that Han Yunhua was going to go on the expedition, in order not to worry Han Yunhua, so she was very strong, and she knew that Han Yunhua needed her encouragement. Han Yunhua was also very pleased with his wife's performance, although he could feel the reluctance in Yuhan's eyes very clearly, but at least his wife knew the priority of the matter.
Holding Xiao Sihan, Han Yunhua was also reluctant for a while, soldiers are also people, and soldiers also have the right to think about their wives and children. Some people may say that soldiers are nothing, and some people even compare military personnel to locusts in transit, and the so-called thief is like combing and the soldier is like washing. Han Yunhua also admitted that there are indeed some scum among the current soldiers, such as Sun Dianying and others who dig graves. But the term soldier itself is a kind of dedication, and some people may say that the value of a soldier is to fight. Therefore, there are many people who think that soldiers should sacrifice for the country and the nation, and it is nonsense to talk about anything else. Almost some people think that a soldier who wants his wife and children must not be a good soldier, but Han Yunhua doesn't think so, in his heart, there is no inevitable connection between the value orientation and the feelings of whether a soldier can fight a good war. Soldiers are also people, Han Yunhua will not avoid some imaginary things, Han Yunhua believes that the orientation of loving family and children is not contrary to the core values of contemporary soldiers.
Han Yunhua knew that the longer he stayed now, the more sad Yuhan would be, and the long pain was better than the short one. Han Yunhua kissed her daughter, put Xiao Sihan on her small bed, and then said to Yuhan: "Yuhan, I... When I'm gone, the home will be handed over to you, take care of your body. ”
"Well, Brother Yunhua, you can leave with confidence, I will take care of the family. You also have to pay attention to safety, wait for you to come back......" As she spoke, Yuhan's voice trembled a little, she quickly realized her gaffe, how could she be like this at this time, didn't this add to her husband's heart! So Yuhan said a word and stopped talking, she was afraid that she would shed tears if she couldn't bear it.
Han Yunhua walked over, hugged Yuhan gently into his arms, and said softly: "Don't worry, the bullet devil who can make me Han Yunhua injured hasn't been made yet, wait for me to come back." After speaking, Han Yunhua kissed Yuhan lightly on the forehead, then turned around and walked out the door.
As soon as he pushed the door, Han Yunhua saw more than a dozen people standing in the courtyard outside the door, and when he looked closely, it turned out to be Shen Yuquan and others. Han Yunhua was like a mirror in his heart, knowing that they were here to see him off.
Political Commissar Zuo, who is now the supreme leader of the military region, saw Han Yunhua coming out of the house and hurriedly greeted him, and was about to say something when Han Yunhua made a gesture and signaled him not to say anything.
I saw Han Yunhua walk up to everyone and look at the comrades-in-arms who had been fighting side by side for nearly two years. After a pause, Han Yunhua said loudly: "Comrades, don't say anything else, you will lose too much." Although you have imposed martial law here, who knows if I have any other way to eavesdrop. Now I'm going to sing you a song as a parting gift, right? "Camel Bell" for everyone! ”
Han Yunhua cleared his throat, and then sang in a slightly vicissitudes of life: "Send your comrades-in-arms and embark on a journey." Silent two tears, camel bells ringing in my ears. The road is long and foggy. Revolutionary careers often break up, the same and two loves. Comrades-in-arms, dear brothers, beware of the cold wind in the north in the middle of the night, take care of yourself all the way...... Send your comrades and embark on a journey. There is a long way to go, and there are many hardships, and the camel bells are sprinkled all the way. Mountains and mountains are stacked, and water is crisscrossed. The ambition to defy the wind and water is there, and it lives up to the people's nurturing feelings. Comrades-in-arms, comrades-in-arms, dear brothers, we will meet again when the spring breeze spreads the good news...... See you again. After singing the song, Han Yunhua didn't say anything more, and strode out with a horsewhip and the guards.
This time, more than 1,400 people who went south were divided into four batches and went south in batches, and Wei Peng led the Reading Brigade to be the first batch and open the way for the whole team. Jiang Yunshan led the first battalion as the second batch, Tong Jiayong led the second battalion as the third batch, and Han Yunhua led the guard team as the fourth batch, which was the rear of the whole team. ”
Along the way, the troops traveled day and night in order to conceal themselves. When he saw the town, he bypassed, and Han Yunhua led more than 60 special members of the guard team to follow the path. However, although the troops were already very careful, there were still troubles along the way, first of all, in the area of Baoding, Hebei Province, a night raid team of the Yue army met unexpectedly, and fought an encounter. However, because the sentries of the special combat team led by Wei Peng were far away, they knew early that there was a plainclothes unit of the puppet army coming towards them, but due to the large number of people in the reading brigade, it was difficult to ensure that the troops would not be discovered, so Wei Peng decided to eliminate the plainclothes team of this army on the spot.
However, because the plainclothes team of the Yue Army was mainly for sneaking up on the villages where the guerrillas of the Eighth Route Army were stationed, they did not expect to encounter Wei Peng and others in the inaccessible mountainous areas. A plainclothes team of more than 120 people was caught off guard by Wei Peng and others, and it took only four or five minutes to wipe out all of them under the sniper rifle fire. Subsequently, the Yi [***] regiment led by Han Yunhua also encountered attacks by other puppet armies, and at the same time, when passing through the mountainous areas of southern Hebei, it also encountered bandits and attacks by the Eighth Route Army. However, Han Yunhua kept it secret, and the bandits could be absorbed if they could, and those who were unwilling to be co-opted were eliminated on the spot. As for the Eighth Route Army, they were all taken prisoner and taken away, and these people were never allowed to return to the building. Of course, in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Han Yunhua, who did not take a batch of the Eighth Route Army, had to send a telegram to the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army to explain the situation.
