In a group of busy soldiers, the sudden appearance of a major general definitely gives people the feeling of standing out from the crowd, which is enough to make these ordinary soldiers dizzy, not only the soldiers, but all the officers of the third regiment, including the colonel commander, have some unbelievable feelings, how can a major general, suddenly parachuted into the logistics unit, when a major or a deputy battalion commander at the level of captain came, it is said that it was still a letter of appointment signed by the division commander himself.

Not only was the third regiment of the baggage regiment confused, but even the chief supervisor of the baggage troops, Colonel Song Wenhai, director of the division's baggage division, was also dizzy for a while, Liu Hongzhang's identity, Song Wenhai naturally knew it, the dignified major general and brigade commander of the first mechanized infantry brigade of the corps directly under the independent division, it can be said that he is the number one boss of all brigade-level units of the entire independent division, and his reputation is outside!

Song Wenhai also knew that the division commander was punishing Liu Hongzhang in disguise, but if he put such a great god in the baggage area, it would seem that the temple was small, and he secretly asked the chief of staff Zhao Yuhe Major General, but Chief of Staff Zhao was vague, so he said: "Brigade Commander Liu delegated to your baggage department, which is the meaning of the division commander, how to arrange the work, just arrange it normally!" ”

Having said that, such a great god is in the baggage place, and his pressure is definitely not small, and the words of Chief of Staff Zhao also make people confused, the No. 1 and No. 2 commanders of the Logistics Department, Lieutenant General Zhang Quan, are sitting in the East Indies, doing business with the British and Americans, and they are very busy with a lot of gold and silver.

Major General Zhou Yushan, Vice Minister, returned to Kunming after the end of the Second Outer Mongolian War to preside over the troops of the Independent Division stationed in the Indochina Peninsula.

Therefore. When the commander of the Third Regiment of the Baggage Regiment came to ask him for advice with a sad face, Song Wenhai smacked his teeth for a long time, and according to his own understanding, he said: "Don't look like a catastrophe is coming, Brigade Commander Liu will definitely stay in our baggage place for a short time, maybe one day, the division commander will give an order." If the officer is reinstated, let's go to the first battalion and put on the name of a deputy battalion commander! ”

The face of the head of the third regiment of baggage is not very good-looking, and the reason is very simple. A major general deputy battalion commander, I have a headache just thinking about it. Just about to leave. was stopped by Song Wenhai again, "You wait! Regarding Brigade Commander Liu's work, don't arrange specific affairs, let alone restrain his actions, in a word, he can do whatever he likes! As long as you don't do anything too out of the ordinary! ”

And so. The dignified brigade commander Liu Da has become the most leisurely deputy battalion commander of a major general in all the troops of the independent division, but. Liu Hongzhang was a person who couldn't stay idle, and just over a day after arriving at the Third Baggage Regiment, he consciously fulfilled the duties of deputy battalion commander, and it seemed that he was demoted from brigade commander to deputy battalion commander, which did not affect his feelings in the slightest.

In fact, Liu Hongzhang's heart is also holding back a lot of energy, until now, he is still not convinced, why does the division commander deal with himself like this, that's good, I, Liu Hongzhang, am not a person who can't afford to take it or let it go, not in the front-line field troops, in the logistics troops, not as a brigade commander as a deputy battalion commander, still do a good job, however, he doesn't think that he ordered the troops to counterattack, it was a wrong decision!

Song Wenhai, director of the baggage department, received Chu Ziye, the commander of the Fourth Mechanized Infantry Brigade, asking for compensation for ammunition, and the telegram full of threatening tone, he did not dare to slack off, and gave the order to the third regiment of the baggage, although the time of an hour was tense enough, but as long as there was no delay on the road, he could still arrive on time, and he didn't want to be scolded by these brigade commanders, so when he issued the task, Song Wenhai also emphasized the urgency of the task.

The first battalion of the third regiment of the baggage regiment is a motor battalion, which is specially responsible for transporting ammunition and supplies to the front-line troops, with a total of six companies, four automobile companies, and two armed escort companies.

The commander of the third regiment of the baggage, put down Song Wenhai's phone, hesitated for a while, this task must be the first battalion, the other battalions in the regiment have all carried out the task, and after a circle, the commander of the third regiment still decided to go to see the deputy battalion commander of the major general Liu and explain the task in person!

When they arrived at the first battalion station, more than 60 trucks were already loaded with ammunition and ready to go, but what made the regiment commander incomprehensible was that two of the trucks were loaded with more than 30 mortars, and the other was loaded with more than 40 light and heavy machine guns.

found a company commander and asked carefully, only then did I know that it was the order of the deputy battalion commander of the major general, and the soldiers didn't know why? Anyway, just execute the order!

The commander of the third regiment had to deal with the deputy battalion commander of the major general, and hurriedly walked in front of Liu Hongzhang, on the epaulette of the deputy battalion commander Liu, a general star, in front of the ammunition depot, under the bright light, shook his eyes, for a while, I really don't know, how to call it, just call it Deputy Battalion Commander Liu, it must be inappropriate, call Brigade Commander Liu, the position is the deputy battalion commander, or the order issued by the division commander himself, besides, who salutes whom first?

Fortunately, Liu Hongzhang broke the embarrassing situation, stepped forward, the standard military salute, the heel touched, sonorous and powerful, and the loud voice was as always, "Report to the regiment commander, Liu Hongzhang, deputy commander of the first battalion, has been prepared, waiting for the regiment commander's order at any time, and will set off immediately!" ”

"This--! That-! What's that! Ah......h Liu: ? The third head hurriedly returned the salute, he didn't know what to call it, and he said vaguely haha.

Liu Hongzhang was refreshed and said: "Regiment Leader, I am now your subordinate, just call me my position, if you feel that you are angry, call me Liu Hongzhang or Lao Liu Ducheng!" ”

The commander of the third regiment also stabilized his gods, but he was not so bold to call Liu Hongzhang or Lao Liu, and said with a straight face: "Deputy Battalion Commander Liu, on the phone, the task has been clearly explained, we only have one hour, the fourth brigade continues to ammunition, and this operation is under your full command!" ”

Liu Hongzhang said simply: "Yes, regiment commander, the first battalion guarantees to complete the task of transporting ammunition to the front-line troops!" After saluting, "Get on the bus and let's go!" He yelled at his voice!

Liu Hongzhang was just about to get into the cab of the truck, when the third regiment commander pulled him and asked in a low voice: "Deputy Battalion Commander Liu, the two cars are equipped with mortars and light and heavy machine guns, why?" What is urgently needed at the front is ammunition, not equipment! ”

Liu Hongzhang looked at the eyes of his boss, and asked himself, "What is 1+1?" The absurdity of such a simple question was stunned for a moment, and seeing the serious expression of the regiment commander who was humbly seeking advice, he sighed and explained simply: "The rapid consumption of ammunition proves that the battle is very fierce, and correspondingly, the damage rate of equipment is also high!" I'm bringing replacement equipment for the 4th Brigade! ”

"After a big war, the damage rate of equipment is not small, and without equipment, no matter how sufficient the ammunition is, it is useless!" He said seriously, "When I was in the field army, after every battle, the elimination rate of equipment was more than 10 percent, especially small-caliber light artillery such as infantry weapons and mortars, you don't know, right?" This last sentence is full of incredible questions!

The commander of the third regiment really did not know that the logistics system of the independent division, after years of construction, has formed a complete operation process, and each has its own division of labor; for example, the baggage department under the logistics department is responsible for transporting ammunition, equipment, and supplies for the front-line troops according to the needs of the front-line troops.

The third regiment commander paused for a moment and said vaguely: "It is worthy of coming down from the field army, Deputy Battalion Commander Liu is really an expert, don't delay your departure!" ”

Liu Hongzhang vigorously closed the car door and waved his hand, "Let's go!" Amid the rumbling of gunfire, the convoy drove into the night.

From Liu Hongzhang's heart, he really didn't want to go to send ammunition to Chu Ziye's Fourth Brigade, why, what should he say when he saw Chu Ziye's face? As far as the stinky mouth of the big man Chu is concerned, he knows that he is now a deputy battalion commander or the deputy battalion commander of the logistics force, maybe there are some ugly sarcastic words waiting for him?

But this is another order, and the first battalion did not use other commanders to lead the team, Liu Hongzhang knew that the front-line troops lacked ammunition, so he could only take the convoy up, he had already secretly calculated it in his heart, so he said, "Because the ammunition truck at the baggage place will take a while to arrive, I received an order from the division commander, and I pulled out so much from the family background of the first brigade, which is not much." ”

"This is still for the sake of the face of the old comrades-in-arms, otherwise, there is not even this little ammunition, such a large-scale battle, the ammunition of that unit is not tight? No matter what, let the big man Chu owe a favor first! ”

At this time, the battlefield had already been turned into a pot of porridge, and the periphery of Minusinsk, within a radius of more than 300 to 400 kilometers, was full of scenes of fierce battles, especially the battlefield of the 7th Brigade, the 8th Brigade, and the 6th Tank Brigade to divide and annihilate the Third Army of the Soviet Army, which was the most chaotic.

Although the Third Army of the Soviet Army has been beaten like a frightened bird, with more than half of the casualties, the remaining troops also have more than 30,000 people, and the Seventh and Eighth Brigades of the encirclement and annihilation of the Soviet Army, with a total strength of about 40,000 people, are obviously unrealistic to drive all the Soviet troops together to encircle and annihilate them.

Inevitably, there were more loopholes in the weak encirclement, and the scattered Soviet troops were running around aimlessly, where the sound of artillery and gunfire was the most sparse, and they instinctively broke through in which direction.
