Chapter 53: Training Again
Today, the conference room in Taoyuan County was brightly lit, and after all the troops returned to Taoyuan County, after resting for a day, all cadres at and above the division level arrived at the headquarters today to prepare for a week's operational summing up and the next stage of operational preparations.
"Next, I would like to ask the political commissar to report on the results of our Seventh Army this week." Liu Hua was the first to stand up.
"Well, comrades, hello everyone, after a week of training, our Seventh Army Corps has achieved great results, which can be described as great results." As soon as he finished speaking, the comrades below all stared at the political commissar with smiles.
Now I will announce the results of the battle, the first division completely annihilated more than 5,100 enemy troops, captured 1,800 people, captured 30 mortars, 4 mountain guns, and countless ammunition, especially artillery shells, after this replenishment of captured shells, our mortar shells reached 400 rounds each, and mountain artillery shells reached 450 rounds each. However, the casualties were a bit large, with a total of more than 600 killed and more than 200 seriously wounded.
The 2nd Division completely destroyed 4,500 enemy men and captured 500 prisoners, with no heavy weapons among the captured weapons, but abundant ammunition. The casualties were not particularly large, with 110 killed and 150 seriously wounded.
The three divisions completely annihilated 3,800 enemies, captured 2,000 prisoners, captured a part of weapons and ammunition, and a lot of food, totaling 300,000 catties of grain, 200,000 silver dollars, 300 killed and 120 seriously wounded.
This time, we seized a total of 2.5 million rounds of ammunition, 100,000 grenades, and countless weapons. ”
Looking at the bottom one by one, he stared at himself, "That's all, nothing else." The political commissar said with a smile.
The comrades below immediately laughed when they heard this.
"Comrades, we have achieved great results this time, but, comrades, we also see that we have many shortcomings, the most important of which is that our Seventh Army Corps has too many prisoners and too few old Red Army. Therefore, after this week's training, you should be able to discover your own shortcomings, so during this time, that is, before the general command sends a combat telegram, we should use this time to train our troops well. Liu Hua took a sip of tea.
"Comrades, this training may be the last of our time, and we may face a long-term battle in the future, so you must seize the time. My request is very simple, that is, I want you to make up all the personnel of the troops, require the troops to reach full strength, and then pay close attention to training the quality of individual soldiers; after the ambush battle of the first division last time, I found that when our soldiers were fighting with bayonets, the formation was very chaotic, so we must seize the time to fight and stab in a row, and I want you to train the troops to the best in the shortest possible time. Seeing the quiet crowd below, Liu Hua said again.
"Comrades, that's all there is to it, do you have confidence?" Liu Hua shouted loudly.
"Yes." Everyone said in unison.
"Well, okay, since everyone is confident, then we have to hurry up, it's still the old rule, I follow the first division, political commissar Guan Xiangying follows the second division, Director Li Qing follows the third division, all the troops except the guard battalion left all the others out of the city to prepare for training, starting tomorrow." After speaking, he looked at the political commissar.
The commissar nodded.
"Okay, the corps commander has made all the tasks clear, and now it's up to you to carry them out, and you must pay attention to it, especially the grievance appeal campaign called for by the corps commander, and you must seize the time to do a good job in the ideological and political work of the comrades." After speaking, the political commissar nodded to Liu Hua again.
"Alright, adjourn." Liu Hua saw the political commissar looking at him and said.
"Commission, Director Li, now that everyone is gone, let's talk about it now." Seeing everyone walk out of the conference room, Liu Hua looked at his two old partners.
"Legion Commander, do you have any ideas again?" Director Li Qing looked at you with a smile Liu Hua said.
"Hehe, Director Li, I just want you to stay, take a look at our legion's family background, and discuss our training process during this time. Director Li, how much ammunition does our regiment have now? ”
"Okay, corps commander, now our logistics department has a total of 4 million rounds of ammunition, 120,000 grenades, and about 1 million catties of food." He looked at Liu Hua when he played
"Well, very good, Director Li, when you go to each division tomorrow, 200,000 rounds of ammunition for each generation, for training, I don't require the soldiers to be able to hit 100 shots like the soldiers of the sniper company, but the hit rate must be improved. I also have to practice throwing bombs and fighting stabs, and I must let our Seventh Army Corps win every battle and become the most capable unit of our Red Army. Looking at Liu Hua's confident eyes, the two nodded together.
"But the corps commander, with so many bullets to train, isn't it a bit like 600,000 bullets!" Political Commissar Guan Xiangying may have been afraid of the lack of guns and ammunition before, so he hurriedly reminded.
"Hehe, political commissar, don't be afraid, today we use so many bullets for training, even soldiers with poor marksmanship can train well, maybe so many bullets will allow us to sacrifice less soldiers and how many materials will be captured in the future, so I think we will not suffer a loss by using so many bullets for training."
"Well, the Legion Commander said so, and I carry out the order." The political commissar nodded after listening to Liu Hua's words.
The next day, Taoyuan County was a lot quieter all of a sudden, most of the troops were expelled from the county seat, and they gathered at their predetermined location for training, and the three people of the regiment also thought about their destination early in the morning, and another training of the Red Seventh Army began, and bursts of shouting and killing and bursts of gunfire sounded everywhere.
Liu Hua came to the headquarters of the first division, and the three of them once again divided the work, so that each regiment would have a division-level cadre to inspect the rectification and training work.
