Chapter 7: The Beginning of Glory (Part II)
At the beginning of January 6932, the Rotten Snake spies were constantly making waves in Huating City, and Liu Yi knew that the conflict between the two countries was about to break out, and the time to make a name for himself was just around the corner. In order to grasp the opportunity, he applied to his superiors to go to Huating City for training on the pretext of training snipers, in order to prepare for war in advance. In order to enhance his combat strength, he ordered Fang Tianming, Long Baichuan, and Liu Zhengfeng to assemble in Huating.
Major General Tang Yuqi of the Central Teaching Corps reported the matter to the Military Commission, and Shi Tuzhi quickly agreed to the request and awarded Liu Yi the rank of lieutenant colonel in recognition of his loyalty and courage in worrying about state affairs.
On January 15, Liu Yi led the sniper team to Huating City, where he was arranged by the 19th Route Army to train at the garrison of Tingbei. He came this time, firstly, to make a name for himself in the war, so as to gain military power, and secondly, to plunder the property of the unscrupulous merchants of the Rotten Snake Country in order to develop the Shuzhou base. Therefore, he asked Liu Yuan for a sum of money, rented a warehouse in the public concession, and bought more than a dozen cars for transportation and storage of supplies.
On the 19th, Liu Yi was invited by Zeng Zhaoying, the 156th Brigade of the 78th Division of the 19th Route Army, to conduct tactical exercises, and took the opportunity to put forward the thinking of special operations, which aroused the great attention of General Ye Zhongzhong, deputy commander-in-chief of the 19th Route Army.
In order to train the generals, Ye Zhongzhong specially ordered the exercise to be postponed to the 20th, and at that time, the military headquarters of the 19th Route Army will organize an officer observation group to observe and study.
At 3 o'clock in the afternoon of the 20th, Shi Zhengguang, commander-in-chief of the 19th Route Army, and Ye Zhongzhong, deputy commander-in-chief, led more than 100 representatives of various divisions and brigades to participate in the observation.
Liu Yi ordered the sniper team of 20 people to divide into two teams, led by Huang Zheng and Zhou Youdao respectively, and drilled in batches. The exercise lasted for two hours, and practiced sniper tactics, breakout, counter-breakout, make-up reconnaissance, rock climbing and infiltration and other subjects, which amazed the generals at all levels of the 19th Route Army, and was summoned by Shi Zhengguang and Ye Zhongzhong.
"Although Boyan is young, he is a hero, worthy of being the central elite, worthy of being a model soldier, with this elite soldier, there will be no return."
"Thank you for the praise of the vice president, I dare not be ashamed!"
"Alas, the Japanese invaders occupy my northeast, and now they are making trouble in Huating, and we can only watch, shame! I can't lead the troops to fight with me, although I have no regrets about dying! ”
Shi Zhengguang sighed lightly: "We all need to respect the order of the peak, this is also the sorrow of the general!" Boyan, what do you think of the Huating matter? ”
"The general seat and deputy general seat of the report, humbly believe that the rotten snake artificially weakens the anti-snake sentiment of the Chinese people, diverts the attention of domestic and foreign people, and eases the pressure of public opinion, which will definitely set off a war in Huating. Endure humiliation and seek peace, and bloodshed is inevitable! ”
Ye Zhongzhong's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he deeply admired Liu Yi's insight, he could smell the smell of war when he first came to Huating City, which was the material of a general.
"Well, Bo Yan's knowledge is really extraordinary, the Rotten Snake Army has been extremely restless recently, and has the intention of increasing the troops in Huating, so it can be seen that a battle between the two armies is inevitable! Boyan, in your opinion, if this battle starts, how should we fight? ”
"General Ye, the barricade positions set up by our army are very effective, which is an effective means of defense for the defense of the city, and combined with street fighting, it can inflict great casualties on the enemy. However, Huating City has convenient roads and is suitable for the rapid mobility of armored vehicles and artillery, and we must pay special attention to this.
The Marines of the Rotten Snake Country are equipped with the M-25 wheeled armored vehicles produced by Lai Yingguo and the Renault FT-17 combat vehicles of Country F, although they are both light armored vehicles, but our soldiers have not been specially trained, and they do not know how to destroy the armored vehicles, which will inevitably affect morale and cause unnecessary casualties.
Moreover, most of our soldiers have not undergone formal training, have a weak sense of avoiding artillery fire, and seriously lack air defense weapons, and the soldiers have no air defense awareness at all, all of which will increase the casualties of our army. What is even more worrying is that the land and navy of the country have always been at odds with each other, and the army has occupied the northeast of our country, and the enemy navy will inevitably attack with all its might in order to proclaim its military force. They have strong ships and guns, and they have aircraft carriers as platforms, and our country has no defense at sea, so it is necessary to build fortifications on the periphery of Huating to reduce field casualties.
In addition, it is suggested that a number of backbone cadres should be immediately dispatched for training, and battalion and company officers should be summoned for assault training, so as to implement a flexible operational thinking; there is no need for us to blindly defend and be bombed, but we can lure the enemy into depth, weaken the enemy through street fighting, and annihilate the enemy flexibly and mobilely. The lowly sniper team can also go behind enemy lines to carry out tasks such as attacking enemy headquarters, destroying enemy supplies, destroying enemy artillery positions, and more! ”
Ye Zhongzhong was overjoyed when he heard this, nodded appreciatively, and discussed with Shi Zhengguang in a low voice for a while, and he decided to reuse Liu Yi.
"Lieutenant Colonel Liu Yi, from today onwards, you will serve as a senator of the military department, and I hope that the division commander of the district will take good care of Liu Boyan and listen to Boyan's opinion!"
"Yes, the humble position must attach importance to Senator Liu's opinion." (The commander of the 78th Division, Ou Yanting, did not dare to slack off and immediately stated his position.) )
With the name of the military senator, Liu Yi immediately set up a recruitment hall, and after a few days, he really summoned two forces, one was Liu Ruxin, the leader of the National Salvation Organization, and the other was Jia Xu, the leader of a small gang near Huating. Both of them are not ordinary people, each has hundreds of people, and he is overjoyed, and he is busy handing over two major things to the two of them to do.
On January 24, when the war was about to start, Liu Yi received a call from Zhang Taijia, the director of education.
"Uncle Shi, what do you command?"
"Boyan, the situation in Shanghai is tense, the war will start at any time, you kid is like a god, Chairman Shi praised you very much, you quickly bring your sniper team back, this battle is not easy to fight!"
"Uncle Shi, the purpose of the students coming to Huating is to participate in the war, how can they go back now? Please rest assured, Uncle Shi, I will definitely pay attention to safety. ”
"Haha, I know that your kid has a plan to go to Huating, okay, but you must pay attention to safety, otherwise it will be difficult for me to explain to Brother Zhongshu! After the battle starts, I will do my best to fight for it, and then our uncle and nephew will kill the rotten snake side by side. ”
"Uncle Shi, you have to come early, it's too late, and the little nephew will kill all the snake cubs!"
"I wish you had killed all the rotten snake people, so that my uncle and me would have to run around. Okay, you pay attention to your own safety, hang up first! ”
Liu Yi hung up the phone and couldn't help but say to himself: "It's almost over, I finally realized the atmosphere before the war, although I led soldiers to fight in my previous life, but the scale was too small to satisfy my desires and hopes." Come on, snake cubs, my blood is boiling! ”
The battle was about to start, Liu Yi decided to go out for a walk, so he handed over the training of the sniper team to Huang Zheng, changed into civilian clothes and went out alone. As he walked along the road of Laohuating, looking at the buildings on both sides, he couldn't help but think of the Oriental Library and the Commercial Press, which were about to be destroyed in the war, and his heart couldn't help but move, and he decided to transfer the two collections.
"How do you get them to agree to the transfer of the collection? Tell them that the army of rotten snakes will blow up the Oriental Library and the Commercial Press? I'm afraid they won't believe it! Well, it seems that I am going to find Du Hongqing and help, I used to have a bad reputation in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, although the power is not large, and the weight is slightly lighter, but after all, I can have a little face, I think he will help, haha! ”
Liu Yi paid attention, and immediately turned around and went back to gather people, wanting to know if he could succeed and read the content of the next chapter.
