Ganzhou is destined to be sleepless tonight, tens of thousands of students and soldiers spend Chinese New Year's Eve together, and it is needless to say that it is lively, because it has just won a big victory, and its significance is extraordinary. The camera reporters with the army began to be busy filming early on, which made Ouyang Yun feel a little regretful that he could not broadcast live without transmission equipment, otherwise, what kind of positive social effect would such a grand scene be caused by transmitting back to Guangzhou District?

In the fields on the southern outskirts of Panyang County, as soon as it was dark, Jiang Tiezhang's Third Guerrilla Division emerged one after another from the ravines and snowy fields, and soon completed the integration of regiments as units. At about 5:40, they began to march rapidly in the direction of Leping County.

In the Nanchang Campaign, the second division of the three guerrilla divisions under Chu Tiange's jurisdiction was completely disabled, and the loss of the first division was not small, but the loss of Jiang Tiezhang's third division was not large. If it were in other factions, the officers and soldiers of the Third Division might have rejoiced in it, but in the Cadet Army, they felt humiliated and aggrieved - the casualties were not large, and that was because they had not fought a bad battle. There is no evil battle to fight, which means that his unit has not been valued by the commander-in-chief and the commander.

Such logic sounds absurd and ridiculous to the officers from the Central Army, and even does not know whether to live or die. But in the student military system, it is a logic that has been recognized by everyone. Ouyang Yun's original intention in launching the Nanchang Campaign was to smash the Japanese army's plan to encircle on three sides, and when the goal was achieved, the front-line combat troops would definitely need to go back to rest and reorganize. Of course, in view of the fact that the Japanese army launched several major offensives in succession in the border areas of Fujian, Zhejiang, and Jiangxi, it was certainly necessary to send a force from the periphery to the Shangrao and Yingtan theaters. This will give Ye Zhao more strategic options, and even prompt him to launch a counterattack. When choosing which troops to send, Ouyang Yun first considered the two regular troops of the Third Division and the Seventeenth Division. When he discussed this matter with Chu Tiange, it happened that the three division commanders were there, and among them, Jiang Tiezhang complained to Chu Tiange, saying that his brothers had very opinions because they could not participate in the war as the main force.

Ouyang Yun has an impression of the five brothers of the Jiang family, after all, the five brothers are all in the army, and this is the only one. He said: "If you want to fight, it's simple, I just want to send a force to Leping County, then your three divisions?" ”

"Little sir, is this true?" Jiang Tiezhang was shocked when he heard it, and asked.

Ouyang Yun looked at Chu Tiange and said, "You ask your commander, as long as she agrees, it's no problem." ”

Jiang Tiezhang immediately looked at Chu Tiange and said, "Commander, you, you will agree, right?" ”

Chu Tiange naturally had no opinion, he asked Ouyang Yun about the combat mission that the Third Guerrilla Division would undertake, and then said to Jiang Tiezhang: "Old Five, let's do it, I will send the Iron Boss to you, and you must pay attention to the enemy's reconnaissance." The Shangying theater was mountainous, and the Japanese army was far superior to our army, and there were aviation units to assist in the battle, so be careful to ambush them. Discuss with Commander Ye whenever you have a problem, and don't act alone. ”

"Yes!"

The territory where the 3rd Guerrilla Division was hiding was about 70 kilometers away from Leping County, and because there were puppet troops and small Japanese troops stationed along the way, it was impossible to march mechanized. On foot, based on the division's average marching speed of 7-8 kilometers per hour, it would take about ten hours to reach the battlefield. After deciding to help the Third Guerrilla Division, after Ouyang Yun and Ye Zhao contacted each other, both of them intended to launch a New Year's offensive in the early morning of tomorrow, that is, on the first day of the first lunar month, so whether the Third Guerrilla Division could arrive at the battlefield as scheduled was particularly important.

Iron Boss, also known as Jiang Tietou, had set off ahead of the local watch two hours earlier, and now, they were about fifteen kilometers ahead of the large army, and under the leadership of a member of a local Spark Brigade, they were maintaining a marching speed of 8 kilometers per hour.

In Wuyishan, the temporary base of the Second Army, Zhang Gongming, chief of staff, and Deng Changyou, deputy army commander and commander of the Sixth Division, were at this time, under the escort of a group of wolf teeth, watching the "Thunderbolt" rocket launchers of about a brigade that had just been sent from Shaowu City. The gap in strength between one army and one group army is too great. Moreover, the Japanese army also had air supremacy. This directly led to the fact that the Second Army could only defend passively under the attack of the Japanese 5th Army, and a decent counterattack could not be organized.

The "Thunderbolt" rocket launcher looks like a baggage truck from a distance, but those who are familiar with the situation will shudder at the thought of the sixteen steel pipes connected together, each of which contained a giant shell about 1.4 meters long and weighing about 600 kilograms.

The original country of invention of rocket artillery was the Soviet Union, however, in the current Soviet Union, this type of rocket artillery is still the most primitive BM-13 model, and it is still launched on rails, and its range is only a meagre 8 kilometers. On the other hand, what about the "thunderbolt" of the student army? Since participating in the actual combat in the Battle of Nanjing, through the improvement of the soldiers of the research and development institute, now it now has a complete specification model, not only the rocket engine technology is quite mature, but also the range has been greatly improved, the strongest model at present, its range has reached 18 kilometers.

Ouyang Yun has always spared no money or blood in the development of armaments, and the "Thunderbolt" rocket launcher has reappeared on the battlefield after two years of silence, and its role is no longer just a deterrent weapon. Zhang Gongming and Deng Changyou stroked the round launch guide of the rocket launcher through the camouflage tarpaulin, glanced at each other in the faint light, and then looked at Xiang Huadong, the commander of the First Brigade of the Special Artillery Brigade standing next to him, and asked: "A total of eighty-one ones?" ”

Xiang Huadong nodded.

Deng Changyou: "What about the ammunition equipped?" ”

"Five sets of LI type, three sets of LII type, and three sets of K type!" Xiang Huadong replied, afraid that the two would not understand the difference, and explained: "The L-type is ground-based, LI is equipped with a submunition warhead, and LII is equipped with an ordinary warhead; The K-type anti-air, the warhead is a pocket rocket equipped with a delayed fuse. ”

Zhang Gongming: "Okay! Our forces are far inferior to those of the Japanese army, and we need this weapon of mass destruction to make up for the gap in this regard. To the brigade commander, I heard that the Fourth Army also has a special artillery brigade to help in the war? ”

Xiang Huadong nodded: "The production and modification of rocket launchers and delivery platforms is not troublesome, but the difficulty lies in the production of rockets." At present, the General Headquarters has a total of one division of special artillery units, and this time it is our 1st and 2nd Brigades that are fighting. ”

"It's like a tiger with wings!" Deng Changyou said: "The military seat was originally most worried about the disparity in troops, but now with the 'Thunderbolt' to help the war, I think what he should be worried about is how many troops the Japanese are willing to send at one time!" To the brigade commander, brothers have worked hard, let's go eat first! The people near the station sent a large number of dumplings, Chinese New Year's Eve, eat an auspicious dumpling, bless us to defeat the little devil as soon as possible! ”
