Chapter 92: Fierce Soldiers and Horses (3)
In order to commemorate the "918" not to forget the national shame, and thank the majority of book friends for their support, we will contribute the saved manuscripts, and the insufficient part of the manuscript should also be filled, and the daily double update this week.
On Tuesday, the dog called Shi Jilun, Shu Jintang, Lu Yuxi and others to check the materials and property, totaling 4.21 million taels of gold, 12.31 million pieces of ocean, more than 300 tons of copper, more than 2,000 tons of steel, 137 waste trucks, and more than 2,000 catties of grain...... And that's not counting the material reserves of the guerrilla brigades.
"Looking at these good things, I'm going to make New Year's greetings to the devil!" Tuesday Dog made a grateful look, "If it weren't for the devil calling, where would we have this chance to make a fortune!" ”
"With so much money, should we give some red envelopes to the brothers?" Lu Yu was surprisingly generous.
"Not busy!" Shi Jilun interjected, "Our hundreds of thousands of brothers will have to pay for the death in the future, the injured pension, and the old age to earn a living, and we will have more places to spend money in the future!" ”
Tuesday Dog praised Shi Jilun's foresight: "Yes, the battle is fought day by day, and the money has to be spent in a lump sum, who knows how many years it will take?" After the battle, we have to let the brothers have food and clothing, right? ”
Many new villages have been built on both sides of the Yangtze River, and many roads have been opened up to the riverside. Some young people who had no home or job simply moved to the riverside in order to help Wu Mujun carry the spoils of war, not only to earn wages but also to make extra money, and to contribute to the war of resistance.
The devil couldn't help Wu Mujun, so he came up with a new way to go with several boats, so that even if he suffered some losses, some supplies could be transported over.
Without the order of the General Headquarters of the Wumu Army, the guerrilla brigades did not take major military action, but only engaged in some pocket money in small fights and stepped up the training of the troops.
The Wu Mu caravan was extremely active, because many special operations veterans who had nothing to do joined the business team, while familiarizing themselves with the enemy's situation, while doing business to make extra money, Wu Mu Army's products could not be supplied, so they poured out other things, grain, cotton, vegetable oil, cloth, lamp oil, medicinal materials, cooked food, snacks, shovels, pickaxes, ploughs, hoes, pots and pans, needles and threads, and brains...... Some people are very familiar with the devils stationed in the garrison and call them brothers.
The leaders of the guerrilla brigades also arranged for the common people to do some work such as weaving sacks, weaving rattan and stabbing protective gear, rubbing hemp ropes, collecting shoe soles, digging fortifications, and repairing houses during the slack season, so as to give the people the opportunity to generate income, and more common people had food and began to raise poultry and livestock, and the common people in the base areas felt that they were more prosperous than when there was no war.
When the people's lives are rushed, Wu Mujun is supported, and the people dare to fight devils and work hard. Many ordinary people seem to have forgotten that there is a national government, only that Wu Mujun has brought them a good life, so that they can eat meat once a month, and their children can go to school, learn crafts and skills.
On Tuesday, the dog had nothing to do, and he thought about the old chief, General Cai Tingkai, who came to the door in person last time, and he should also pay a return visit to the old chief. As soon as he said to leave, he handed over Wu Mu's military items to Zhao Dahu and Shi Jilun. Then, carefully prepare a gift for the old chief.
On Tuesday, the dog offered treasure a list of general gifts, all of which were Wu Mujun's self-produced equipment:
1,000 sets of individual equipment and equipment for the hunting uniforms, military hats, military shoes, quilts, raincoats, military backpacks, gas masks, shoulder bags, kettle belts, bullet belts, dry food bags, machetes, sapper shovels and pickaxes, steel helmets, Qiguang submachine guns, clay pot grenades, and 6 Type 92 infantry guns, 18 Type 92 heavy machine guns, 54 Type 96 light machine guns, 54 grenadiers, 6 trucks, 90 pack horses, and 60 carts, which is a regiment's equipment; Other anti-tank mine auxiliary equipment is equipped with 1,000 sets of Luoyang shovels, 100 new steel pots, 300 sets of rope rigging for mountain infantry, 300 javelin flying mines, 100 meteor flying mines, equipped with high-explosive and armor-piercing warheads, 1,000 blasting canisters, and 1,000 anti-tank grenades; 1,000 combat dry food, 100 kilograms of jerky, 100,000 anti-Japanese strength pills, 10,000 sacks, and 1,000 first-aid kits. These materials are worth more than 300,000 oceans.
The guards arranged a cavalry battalion, led by Wu Zhen, with an armored car and 20 trucks, Niu Daojia heard that the dog was going to visit on Tuesday and had to follow him to Dese, and brought two tanks and 4 anti-aircraft guns, Li Jinglong took the overall situation into account, and only asked Tuesday to bring two motorized speedboats to General Cai Tingkai.
Tuesday Dog looked at the appearance of these people all righteous, and only smiled bitterly: Where is this visit? It's clearly a demonstration! Qi Yuankai's face turned green with distress.
On Tuesday, the dog had no choice but to take the ultra-luxury guards through the third theater defense area, and marched to Guinan with trepidation.
Let's say that General Cai Tingkai rushed to the 26th Group Army with the guards presented by the dog on Tuesday to take office, and the people in the group army headquarters did not care much about Cai Tingkai, a warlord who had repeatedly opposed the chairman of the committee, and were only interested in the guards he brought, and discussed them in private:
Fancy military uniforms, what does it look like, where does this look like an army?
The military appearance and posture are okay, like a veteran!
Obediently, such a small number of people, so many trucks, carts, artillery, anti-aircraft machine guns!
Damn, what's that weird-looking gun? Which domestic product? ---- the Strange Light submachine gun!
Hey? What are those paper tubes for? ---- Flying Thunder!
Wow, that's weird? The cavalry had light and heavy machine guns, but charged with bird guns!
That's an exaggeration, right? Shotguns also come with a reel! ---- grenade machine gun!
Wu Lei and Wu Ting ignored the others, and followed Cai Tingkai to the field hospital first, where they took out green ointment and silently applied it to the soldiers on the infected wounds, because there was no war recently, and there were not many wounded, so only 5 or 6 cans were consumed.
The soldiers of the Wumu Army also did not communicate with other troops, and every day they hunted and fished around the camp with hard crossbows and fishing nets, and by the way, they surveyed the terrain and built fortifications. The knowledgeable ** officers and veterans secretly admired the positions and fortifications of the Wumu army.
Wu Lei and Wu Ting also organized manpower to build brick kilns and lime kilns, and burned large bricks to consolidate their positions. Now the other troops are greedy, and it is not difficult to do it, and they have followed suit! The positions of the 26th Army were firmly established.
Wu Lei and Wu Ting exchanged rich bricks, lime and local people for food, bamboo shoots, mushrooms, green vegetables, plus prey, fish and shrimp, and there was always a fragrance around the camp!
Because the sapper shovels and pickaxes of the Wumu soldiers were fully equipped and sharp, the fortifications were quickly completed. Wu Lei and Wu Ting arranged for soldiers to take turns to stand guard and be on guard, and at the same time arranged training, and even bought ducks from the common people to raise ducks and eat eggs!
This group of soldiers with a difference, everything is arranged in an orderly manner, and they can do a good job of food while completing their own tasks! The ** officers and soldiers who were watching began to look at Wu Lei, Wu Ting and others differently, and took the initiative to contact and show goodwill. Wu Lei and Wu Ting also pushed the boat down the river to communicate with everyone, especially the commanders of various divisions and regiments and the officers of various intelligence departments.
Cai Tingkai saw that Wu Lei and Wu Ting deployed the guards step by step, and they could also take care of the lives of soldiers on their own, and he also secretly praised it, and he deserved to be a young talent personally rewarded by the chairman of the committee!
Wu Lei and Wu Ting found that the commanders of the various units disobeyed Cai Tingkai, and seemed to be respectful in person, and they did their own thing behind their backs, they reported to Cai Tingkai in private, and Cai Tingkai smiled helplessly: "These are not my soldiers, how can they listen to me?" I'm just a high-ranking herald, and they're better than you, and you've been rewarded by the Chairman, and I've been against the Chairman for years! How are you Wu Mujun? Isn't it a gang? ”
Wu Lei and Wu Ting didn't understand, and they didn't know whether to nod or shake their heads in confusion. Cai Tingkai said to himself gloomily: "Do your best!" ”
In order to "do his best," Cai Tingkai gathered a number of lower-ranking officers in the name of introducing Wu Lei and Wu Ting, who were "personally commended by the chairman of the NPC National Committee," and listened to Wu Lei and Wu Zhen talk about their combat experiences, but in fact they did their best to conduct tactical training.
Wu Lei and Wu Ting have been in the shadow of Wu Zhen's aura for a long time, and this time they got the opportunity to show themselves, and they used their eloquence to spit lotus flowers, starting from the night attack on Tianwang Temple with a faint bomb...... The officers listened with disbelief: it sounds like that, but how can a few imps be so capable of fighting? But it's as enjoyable as listening to a book!
In the afternoon, there were many more people listening to the lecture, and many middle and senior officers also came.
The next day, the large conference room was packed, some of us realized a lot, some of us just listened to books, and some of us kept asking questions. Cai Tingkai observed everyone's expressions on the side, looking for several belligerent officers, these people listened to the lecture from time to time with a knowing smile, or asked a thorough question, or took notes seriously, Cai Tingkai secretly remembered in his heart, ready to be promoted and reused in the future.
Cai Tingkai suddenly had a whimsy, and every time he finished talking about a battle example, he arranged for the officers to discuss and summarize it: Night attack on Tianwang Temple: In addition to the magic weapon of breaking soul incense, the superb technique of touching the whistle and climbing over the troops during the sneak attack, and the neat and uniform coordination of the troops when concealing the enemy; When rescuing the refugees in Nanjing, he had a strong sense of responsibility to save the people from fire and water, and the psychological quality of making up and sneaking in, and the flexible use of various means; Adequate pre-war planning and preparation when looting supplies, the use of terrain, and the importance of devils in Japanese; team spirit even if the raid fails; ……
The officers unconsciously cheered up during the discussion, and the battle was unprecedentedly high, and Cai Tingkai's hard work was not in vain.
However, the devil did not give Cai Tingkai more time to launch an attack on the Beibu Gulf, and occupied Fangcheng and Qinzhou, and attacked Nanning.
Cai Tingkai had the responsibility to defend the territory and immediately convened a military meeting to discuss the operational deployment of the troops. Before the meeting, Cai Tingkai deliberately asked Wu Lei and Wu Ting to express their views, on the one hand, to evaluate the military attainments of the two, and on the other hand, to learn from Wu Mujun's tactical thinking.
Wu Lei and Wu Ting do not know the depths and are open-mouthed: judging from the position of the troops of the 26th Group Army, there are no more than two tasks, to rescue Nanning to the west or to block the devil reinforcements in Guangdong to the east; Regardless of whether it is to the west or east, the units mainly composed of guerrillas have the advantage of strong mobility in marching operations, and can make full use of the terrain such as mountains and rivers. The equipment of the troops lags behind the devils, and they should make use of the complex terrain to fight guerrilla warfare in the mountains as much as possible by interspersing infiltration actions, and limit the firepower superiority of the devils in the form of melee, but it depends on whether the quality of the troops can maintain order in the melee, otherwise it will become a rout and a complete defeat; It is necessary to organize effective troops to dare to infiltrate, surprise attack the artillery, armor, and logistics units of devils, and take advantage of the superiority of the outnumbers to gain a chance of victory in the melee.
Cai Tingkai listened to it and recognized the ideas of the two very much, but he did not dare to agree with the combat quality of the troops, so he could only smile bitterly. Despite this, Cai Tingkai still arranged tactics such as using the terrain and guerrilla melee at the operational meeting.
Cai Tingkai received an order and was appointed as the commander-in-chief of the East Road, and assigned the 46th Army of He Xuanbu to the command of Cai Tingkai to attack the Yongqin Highway and block the devils from reinforcing Kunlun Pass; At this time, Du Yuming had already commanded the 5th Army of the Northern Route Army to launch an attack on Kunlun Pass.
Cai Tingkai ordered the 46th Army to attack the Yongqin Highway nearby, and after the other troops, especially the eastern troops, were ready to block the enemy's communication roads on the Guangdong side, they transferred troops to move in the direction of Nanning to reinforce the 46th Army.
Wu Lei and Wu Ting were the masters who went crazy when they heard the gunshots, and asked Cai Tingkai to take the initiative to go west to "explore the way". Cai Tingkai didn't want to use the troops given to him by Tuesday Dog, for fear that the damage would be serious and it would be difficult for Tuesday Dog to explain, but he had no troops to send, so he could only let the two of them support the 46th Army to show their sincerity in working together.
Wu Lei and Wu Ting received the task and set off west. Wu Ting led the cavalry troops in front, and Wu Zhen's firepower troops in the rear, quickly advancing towards the battle area.
Wu Ting sent a cavalry charging company as the lead, while exploring the terrain while advancing, he mainly investigated the terrain, and showed the terrain reported by each reconnaissance detachment on the map, designed various combat plans, and also sent follow-up troops to grain and grass, especially a large amount of cane sugar, whether brown sugar or white sugar, to prepare wartime provisions, as for the collected meat to digest on the spot.
Wu Lei also collected a lot of supplies and loaded them on trucks for logistics support in case of war.
The Devil reconnaissance plane spotted the Wu brothers' troops, and soon attracted other planes to stop the well-equipped troops.
All units of the Wumu Army have been trained in air defense, and when the observation post discovers the devil's plane, it immediately blows up the air defense post, and all units quickly conceal and camouflage it, gather all kinds of machine guns, and prepare to fight an air defense war.
Wu Lei commanded the air defense company to set up nine antiaircraft machine guns, and then arranged three heavy machine guns and 12 light machine guns from the Wu Ting Cavalry Battalion on the periphery of the antiaircraft machine gun position, and then the three antiaircraft machine guns opened fire on the devil plane.
The devil's plane was just looking for its target, and when it saw the sparse anti-aircraft machine gun fire in the woods, they gathered four planes and pounced on the anti-aircraft machine guns together, thinking that a burst of strafing and a few aerial bombs would solve the problem, but unexpectedly, dense and accurate bullets erupted from the woods, and two planes were shot down in an instant, and the other two planes were also damaged.
The devil plane suffered a loss, and sent a cavalry search team, intending to intersperse a sneak attack on this powerful reinforcement force to relieve the pressure on the troops in front. The devil made a bloody investment and sent a cavalry search team of more than 500 people.
Wu Ting's scouts were sent far away, and they encountered the devil cavalry search team early and started a fierce battle. As soon as Wu Ting's scout squad and the devil caught fire, they immediately retreated 200 meters to seize the advantageous terrain. Wu Ting's veterans have the habit of observing the terrain along the way, and a 200-meter retreat is enough to seize the most favorable terrain possible. They put their horses into hidden valleys, while their soldiers hid in the woods and held off the devil cavalry with their shotguns.
The war horse was highly excited when charging, and continued to charge without feeling when he was injured, but the devil soldiers were not good, and they were beaten down a lot by a large area of iron sand.
Wu Ting heard the gunfire in front of him, judged that the devil had at least one squadron, and immediately sent a cavalry charging company to press up.
The horses of the cavalry in the mountainous terrain could not run, the horses were only transports, and the form of battle was no different from that of the infantry, so the two sides could only shoot each other on foot in the woods, and the horses were hidden behind the battle line. Wu Mujun's shotgun has a big advantage in melee combat in the woods, regardless of obstacles, seeing the enemy's shadow is a shot, almost shooting blood, and the wheel structure does not need to pull the bolt once every shot, which is faster than the devil's rifle rate of fire, and Wu Mujun's hunting suit makes the devil not easy to find, so the devil changes from a sneak attack to a sneak attack, and the attack becomes a defense, and most of the devils are pressed behind the mountain road and cannot be used.
The commander of the devil's cavalry ordered the cavalry behind to bypass the battlefield and continue to detour in depth, encircling the blocking Zhina Army and attacking the heavy firepower units behind the Zhina Army at the same time, and quickly bitten the "firepower unit" of the Zhina Army---- Wuting's cavalry fire company.
3 heavy machine guns, 6 light machine guns, 6 grenade machine guns, and 100 strange light types made the devil cavalry search team collapse and fled in disarray.
Before Wu Lei and Wu Ting arrived at the front line, they killed more than 200 devils, captured 23 prisoners, captured 79 intact war horses, 89 wounded horses, and more than 40 dead and seriously injured horses.
Wu Lei left a few trucks and cooks to deal with the dead and seriously wounded horses, and the large army continued to advance. Leaving the cooking soldiers to slaughter and dismember the horses, thousands of catties of horse meat were salted, and the horse bones and horse water were transported to the front troops to be digested on the spot.
