Chapter 671: Rushing to Taiyuan
After the rocket artillery experiment, the next step is the long-awaited individual bazooka. However, with the cluster firing of the rocket artillery just now, the power of the individual rocket launcher shocked every commander present, but it did not cause too many twists and turns.
In this way, for a whole morning, the group shuttled through all corners of the weapons test site under the leadership of Wang Guoqiang. Although everyone was very tired, they thought of the various new weapons they had seen in a day. Thinking about the power of these weapons, after equipping them with their own troops, the combat effectiveness of their own troops will be enhanced. The tired look on everyone's face was immediately swept away, replaced by an excited look.
"Comrades, every one of us here today can be said to be a feast for the eyes. Including me, I was deeply shocked by the fact that I was carrying several weapons on my back. It can be said that these weapons, in future battles, will be the nirvana of our Northeast Field Army. So. Now I order, without my consent, that no one shall be allowed to disclose any information about these weapons, otherwise military law will be involved. At the end of the day's visit, at the gate of the weapons test site, Liu Hua reminded the people behind him who were still excited.
"Please rest assured that the commander-in-chief will keep it absolutely confidential," the commanders replied in unison.
Half a month passed in a blink of an eye, 7,000 semi-automatic rifles, 60 rocket launchers, 300 individual bazookas and the corresponding ammunition. With the efforts of the arsenal, all the production was finally completed, and it was piled up in the weapons warehouse under the arsenal, waiting for the commander-in-chief Liu Hua to carry it.
Early in the morning, Liu Hua, commander-in-chief of the field army, Luo Ronghuan, general political commissar of the field army, Peng Zhen, director of the general political department of the field army, Yang Jingyu, deputy commander-in-chief of the field army, and Li Qing, deputy chief of staff, gathered in the small conference room of the headquarters to prepare for the meeting. Because early tomorrow morning, it will be the day when the commander-in-chief Liu Hua leaves the base area and rushes to Taiyuan City, the central station.
Today, everyone gathered together to hold a meeting to solve the various work matters in the base area after Liu Hua left the base area. As well as the question of the division of labor for everyone in the headquarters of the field army.
"Mr. Liu, are you sure that this time I went to the Central Military Commission and only brought the strength of one division of the special operations division? You know, although our Northeast Field Army successfully took Shanhaiguan. However, to go to Taiyuan City, you must pass through the Pingjin area, which is heavily defended by the Japanese garrison in North China, and the strength of a special combat division of 3,000 people is not a little less. Looking at Liu Hua, who was calm and calm in front of him, Political Commissar Luo Ronghuan asked with a puzzled expression.
"The strength of a special operations division is enough to solve all the enemy situations encountered on the road, and it is convenient to conduct a rapid march without a mistake. Even if we encounter heavy encirclement and suppression by the Japanese army in the Pingjin area, and there are special operations divisions, I believe that I, along with all my weapons and ammunition, will be able to safely break out of the encirclement. Commissar, you can rest assured. The strength of one of our special operations divisions is enough to be equal to the strength of a brigade of the Japanese army. Liu Hua replied very confidently.
"Okay, since Mr. Liu, you are so confident, I agree with your opinion, take the special operations division, and rush to Taiyuan City. However, I suggest that the troops immediately reequip the entire special operations division before departure. Let these special combat members be equipped with semi-automatic rifles that I have just produced at the Fengtian Arsenal..."After a short thought, the political commissar reluctantly agreed. Immediately, he suggested to Liu Hua in front of him.
"Those who know me, the political commissar also...."Regarding the political commissar's suggestion, Liu Hua, the commander-in-chief who had already made such a plan, did not hesitate, and responded with a smile.
"Political commissar, comrades, I asked the arsenal to concentrate on the production of seven thousand semi-automatic rifles in half a month. In addition to 4,500 semi-automatic rifles, as a gift to the Party Central Committee in Taiyuan this time. The remaining 2,500 rifles are just to equip this sharp sword in our hands, the special operations division. Let the combat effectiveness of the special operations division be increased by one percent again. ”
As he spoke, the smile on Liu Hua's face was immediately enveloped by a serious look. Li Qing, the deputy chief of staff in front of him, ordered: "Lao Li, immediately issue an order to the commander of the special operations division Liu Xiaogang, and order the division commander Liu Xiaogang to immediately go to the arsenal weapons warehouse to receive 2,500 semi-automatic rifles, 30 rocket launchers, and 150 individual rocket launchers. At the same time, all the commanders and fighters of the special operations division are required to be familiar with all weapons and equipment before leaving tomorrow...", "Yes, Mr. Liu, I will go and give orders immediately..."
A few minutes later, Deputy Chief of Staff Li Qing returned to the conference room, interrupted the meeting for a few minutes, and immediately resumed.
"Political commissar, Director Peng, Lao Yang, Lao Li. After I leave the base area, the huge base area will be handed over to a few of you. And this time I rushed to Taiyuan City. I believe that without a month, it will be absolutely impossible to rush back. Therefore, before leaving, I must make strict arrangements for all matters in the base area..."
Seeing that several people nodded thoughtfully, Liu Hua continued to order.
"Political commissar, after I leave, all military and political affairs in the entire base area will be handed over to you for disposal. In case of any surprises, we get in touch via radio. ”
"Mr. Liu, you can rest assured, with me, the entire base area will never be chaotic." Political Commissar Luo Ronghua nodded and replied confidently.
"Director Peng, I will hand over the establishment of the local government of the base area and the economic development of the entire base area to you. I hope that in a month's time, when I return to the base area, I will be able to see a prosperous and orderly base area behind enemy lines. Of course, there may be many difficulties in the process of forming a local government. When the time comes, you can ask the Intelligence Service and the Security Service to cooperate with you. In a word, only with a complete rear can we fight with the little devils with peace of mind. Facing Peng Zhen in front of him, Liu Hua ordered.
"Please rest assured. In a month's time, I promise to build the whole of Liaoning Province into a prosperous and orderly base area..."Peng Zhen replied with the same confident face.
Liu Hua nodded with satisfaction, and then put his eyes on Yang Jingyu and Li Qing, and then ordered.
"Lao Yang, although the Japanese army has suffered heavy losses after this operation, it is temporarily unable to launch a large-scale encirclement and suppression operation against our base area. However, with what I know about the little devils, they will definitely not watch us develop. Therefore, it is still possible for the Japanese army to launch a small-scale sneak attack on our base area. Therefore, within this month's time, I will hand over all the defense issues of the entire base area to you. ”
"Please rest assured, Mr. Liu, with my Yang Jingyu here, I will not let a little devil enter our base." Yang Jingyu replied confidently.
"Lao Li, according to the order of the Central Military Commission, after the expansion of our Northeast Field Army, the total strength of the troops will reach the scale of 450,000. So far, the total number of our Northeast Field Army is less than 150,000, a gap of more than two-thirds. So, during this month, your task is to recruit troops, and at the same time, to reorganize all the Manchurian troops in the base area. Strive to be able to fill all the vacancies of my Northeast Field Army before I return...."
"Yes, Mr. Liu, I promise to complete the task...."Li Qing replied loudly.
4,500 semi-automatic rifles, 30 rocket launchers, 150 individual bazookas. Together with the corresponding ammunition, it can be said that it is a lot of money. However, in order to facilitate the march, Liu Hua, the commander-in-chief who led the team, decisively gave up the means of transportation such as cars and carts, and put various materials weighing dozens of tons on the backs of nearly 1,000 mules and horses in batches. As for the more than 3,000 special combat personnel, in order to speed up their actions and save their physical strength, they also have one war horse per person.
Early the next morning, the horse team that had loaded all the supplies, under Liu Hua's order, left Fengtian City in a mighty way, and galloped all the way to their ultimate goal, Taiyuan City, which was nearly a thousand kilometers away......
In the office of the Central Military Commission in Taiyuan, at this moment, from the calm faces of several leaders, it seems that there is no different feeling. However, in the eyes of several central leaders, without exception, there was a hint of expectation, anxious... looks. At the same time, under the cover of their calm faces, the hearts of several leaders, without exception, were very anxious.
This is because, in the past few days, after a 10-day long march, Comrade Liu Hua, commander-in-chief of the Northeast Field Army, who has been long-awaited by several central leaders, will arrive at the Central Committee and report to the Party Central Committee.
Of course, one Liu Hua is not enough to make several central leaders so anxious. What really made several central leaders anxious was that in addition to Liu Hua himself, Liu Hua also rushed to Taiyuan and brought with him a batch of the latest weapons and ammunition developed and produced by the Fengtian Arsenal. "Enlai, did Comrade Liu Bocheng report when Comrade Liu Hua would be able to rush to Taiyuan City?" When the time comes, we will also go to greet this great hero of our party...", looking up at a huge quartz clock on the office wall. The chairman asked Vice Chairman Zhou, who was working not far away.
"Chairman, according to the report of Division Commander Liu Bocheng, a day ago, the horse team led by Comrade Liu Hua had successfully passed through the area around Pingxingguan and entered our army's defense area. According to the speed of Comrade Liu Hua's march. Up to this afternoon. You will be able to rush to the outer area of Taiyuan City... And before dark tonight, the troops will be able to feel the gate of Taiyuan City. Vice Chairman Zhou replied.
"Okay, order the reconnaissance troops outside the city to pay close attention to the movements of Liu Hua's department. After Comrade Liu Hua arrived at the area two kilometers outside the city, he immediately reported it. When the time comes, a few of us will personally go to the city gate to greet this great hero. By the way, let's see what kind of secret weapon Comrade Liu Hua has brought us. The chairman nodded, and commanded in the affirmative.
"Yes, Chairman, I will give an order to the reconnaissance troops outside the city right away...."
Finally, as the sky slowly darkened, in the midst of everyone's anxious waiting, a combat staff officer, panting, rushed into the office. Facing several leaders who were working in front of him, he reported loudly.
"Report to the leaders, the horse team led by General Liu of the Northeast Field Army is less than two kilometers away from the city gate. It takes a maximum of fifteen minutes to reach the city gates. ”
"Okay, finally, our Comrade Liu Hua is here..."The chairman's eyes lit up, and he quickly put down the brush in his hand.
Then, facing the combat staff officer in front of him, he quickly ordered.
"Counselor Wang, immediately inform the cooking class, tonight, cook a few more good dishes, and in the evening, we will entertain distinguished guests..."
"Enlai, boss, our little hero has arrived. Let's go, three of us old fellows, go to the city gate to greet you..."As he spoke, the chairman was the first to walk out of the office.
A few people, with a group of guards, had just walked to the city gate. On the highway outside Taiyuan City, a horse team stretching for several kilometers suddenly appeared in everyone's eyes. Immediately after, several cavalrymen, with their arrival, quickly broke away from the horse team and galloped towards the city gate.
And among these fast-galloping cavalrymen, the cavalryman who rushed to the most signature was no surprise that it was Liu Hua, commander-in-chief of the Northeast Field Army.
"Report to the chairman, Vice Chairman Zhou, Commander-in-Chief. Liu Hua, commander-in-chief of the Northeast Field Army, was ordered to come to report and ask the leaders to instruct..."Seeing the huge scale of the city gate, the unprecedented greeting procession. Liu Hua, who was already less than ten meters away from the city gate, did not dare to slack off. Quickly jumped off the war horse, stood in front of the chairman and other leaders, raised his hand and saluted, and reported loudly.
"Good, good. I haven't seen him for a year, and our Comrade Liu Hua is becoming more and more stable. How's it going, how are your days in the Northeast? Patting Liu Hua on the shoulder in front of him, the chairman said with a smile on his face, his words were full of care from the elders to the juniors.
"Comrade Liu Hua, welcome back. At the beginning, he was alone, only with 5,000 people to advance to the northeast and fight with more than 1 million Kwantung Army troops. In the end, in less than a year, such a large base area was created for the Party Central Committee, and more than 100,000 of the most elite Japanese Kwantung Army units were eliminated. Okay, good job..."Vice Chairman Zhou glanced at Liu Hua in front of him appreciatively, and said with the same smile.
"Comrade Liu Hua, nice words, the chairman and Vice Chairman Zhou have finished speaking. I, the commander-in-chief, am here to salute you. I would like to pay tribute to the various fighters you have obtained in the past year..."As he spoke, the commander-in-chief saluted Liu Hua, who was in front of him with only a smirk on his face.
Seeing the unprecedentedly powerful welcoming lineup in front of him, he faced the words of care from the three supreme leaders. In the three northeastern provinces, Liu Hua, commander-in-chief of the Northeast Field Army, who was terrified of the Kwantung Army, finally felt for the first time what it means to be flattered.
However, his long military career still allowed him to calm down at the first time. Facing the three leaders in front of him, he hurriedly replied: "Report to the three leaders, all the achievements made by the Northeast Field Army over the past year are the result of the joint efforts of all the commanders and fighters of the Northeast Field Army. To say that the real merit should belong to those commanders and fighters who sacrificed their lives to defeat Japanese imperialism and liberate the entire Northeast, they are the real heroes...", "Well, in the face of tremendous military exploits, not being arrogant or rash is the quality that a senior commander should have. Comrade Liu Hua, the Central Committee appointed you as commander-in-chief of the Northeast Field Army. Let's go, let's go back to the garrison first, tonight, a few of our old guys will give you a good pick up and wash the dust at the Military Commission. By the way, let me tell you about the specific situation of the development of the Northeast Field Army over the past year. At the same time, report to the central authorities on the current situation in the three northeastern provinces and the direction of development of the Northeast Field Army. Of course, there is another important thing, and that is to introduce our Comrade Zuo Quan and Comrade Su Yu to you..."In response to Liu Hua's answer, the chairman nodded with great satisfaction. Immediately, he ordered Liu Hua in front of him.
"Yes, Chairman. It's just the weapons and ammunition in the back...."Liu Hua replied immediately.
Faced with Liu Hua's question, Vice Chairman Zhou said with a smile on his face: "Comrade Liu Hua, although you can rest assured, I still know the importance of confidentiality. I immediately transferred the strength of a guard regiment from the central garrison to assist the special operations division in temporarily transporting these weapons to the ammunition depot under the central government for storage. Wait until tomorrow, and let's take a good look at the secret weapon you are talking about. ”
"Thank you, Vice Chairman Zhou..."
While speaking, several people, surrounded by a group of guards, slowly walked into the bustling Taiyuan City...
In the evening, in the conference room of the Central Military Commission, it took almost two hours to face the concerned inquiries of the chairman and other central leaders. As the commander-in-chief of the Northeast Field Army, Liu Hua gave a brief introduction to the current situation in the three eastern provinces and the future development direction of the Northeast Field Army.
At the same time, in the conference room of the Central Military Commission, under the introduction of the chairman and others. Liu Hua finally got his wish and saw it. Comrade Zuo Quan, chief of staff of the Northeast Field Army, and Comrade Su Yu, the first commander of the Mechanized Corps, who have been coveted for a long time.
However, because the next day, there were still many things to be done such as experimental weapons, and the three of them did not talk for too long.
Early the next morning, Liu Hua came to the Central Military Commission early and began to prepare for today's weapons test. Although, the entire Taiyuan City has been occupied by itself, and under the management of our party, it has been zen for a year. However, the team was overwhelmed, and Liu Hua had to be on guard against the ubiquitous Japanese puppet army spies.
Therefore, early in the morning, Liu Hua, as the commander-in-chief of the weapons test, began to dispatch troops in the office of the Central Military Commission. Pointing to the combat sand table in front of him, Liu Hua commanded with a serious face to the several commanders in front of him.
"The 1st Brigade of the Taiyuan Garrison Division immediately went out of the city and blockaded the military camp 10 kilometers east of the city, and without an order from the Military Commission, no one was allowed to enter or leave, otherwise, military law would be involved."
"All the commanders and fighters of the special operations division immediately carried their equipment and entered the barracks, and in the barracks, cleared out a rectangular area with a length of two kilometers and a width of 500 meters. And in the shortest possible time, this area will be arranged as a weapons testing ground. Up to two hours of time, the task must be completed. “
