Chapter 8: Cavalry Battalion
Kong Jie and Li Yunlong have been old comrades-in-arms for many years.
Li Yunlong asked Wang Ye to stay alone, and Kong Jie knew what his idea was, which was to prepare Wang Ye to participate in this military operation in Wanjia Town.
It stands to reason that there is nothing wrong with this arrangement.
With a good player like Wang Ye participating in the action, the certainty of success will only be greater!
But the problem is, after all, Wang Ye is a newcomer, and he hasn't even figured out his bottom, so who knows if what he said is true? At least ask the headquarters to investigate and verify his details, right?
At that moment, Kong Jie gestured to Li Yunlong with his eyes.
Li Yunlong ignored it and pretended not to see it.
Of course, Li Yunlong knew what Kong Jie was worried about.
It's nothing more than worrying that Wang Ye's identity hasn't been verified yet.
But Li Yunlong felt that this was nothing at all.
What's wrong with not verifying? Can Wang Ye still be a devil and a spy?
When Wang Ye killed the devil with a pair of pants, he didn't know that Political Commissar Zhao was hiding next to him, even if he sang, who was he going to sing to? Besides, the devil is willing to spend such a big money?
Therefore, Wang Ye will not be a spy no matter what.
Since Wang Ye is not a spy, why can't he participate in this operation in Wanjia Town?
If it weren't for Monk Wei's injuries that hadn't completely healed, he would have planned to let Monk Wei also participate in this operation in Wanjia Town.
In short, this surprise attack in Wanjia Town is very important to the Independent Regiment, and whether the Independent Regiment can turn around depends on this operation.
Therefore, it is necessary to gather the good players of the whole group.
When he entered the regiment headquarters and saw the map on the low table, Wang Ye knew that he was going to fight Wanjia Town.
"Xiao Wang, we are going to make a surprise attack on Wanjia Town." Li Yunlong patted the map and said, "You go to the logistics office to find Lao Gou and get a rifle and a short gun, and there are fifty rounds of each of the two bullets." ”
After saying this, he said: "By the way, don't tell Monk Wei about this." ”
"His injuries are not healed yet, so he will not participate in combat operations this time."
"Yes!" Wang Ye saluted, turned around and ran to the logistics office to get the gun.
Seeing Wang Ye leave, Kong Jie said, "Lao Li, you actually approved him for a hundred rounds of ammunition?" ”
"100 rounds is too little." Li Yunlong said, "If it weren't for the fact that his family background was too thin, I would like to approve him for 200 rounds!" The bullet can be most effective in Xiao Wang's hand. ”
Kong Jie said: "Then you can't be too partial, other fighters only have five shots!" ”
"Less nonsense." Li Yunlong said, "Now I am the head of the independent regiment, since I am the head of the regiment, you have to listen to me, in the future, our independent regiment will follow this rule, if you have the ability to eat meat, if you don't have the ability, you won't have to drink soup." ”
"Okay, listen to you." Kong Jie said helplessly, "Lao Li, I'll lead the team." ”
"Why?" Li Yunlong said suddenly, "If you want to do beautiful things, who is the head of the regiment?" ”
"Eh, Lao Li, why do you take kindness as a donkey's liver and lungs?" Kong Jie said angrily, "Concealing the superior's use of a battalion of troops to attack Wanjia Town, this is not a trivial matter, if something goes wrong in the middle, the superiors will blame it, and the dismissal will be light, you kid, do you think I'm stealing credit from you?" ”
Of course, Kong Jie is not competing with Li Yunlong, he is robbing horses.
For Kong Jie's careful thoughts, Li Yunlong also knew it.
Li Yunlong glared and said: "Kong Er is stunned, then we have to make it clear, these hundreds of horses are not a bag of cigarettes, anyone who smokes is smoked, although you and I are brothers who are mixed up in the class, but this account is better to understand first, let's make it clear, your deputy head is the Maike who works short-term in my place." ”
"I can't tell you that one day you will be transferred and straightened."
"Let's talk about the ugly things in front of us, and when the time comes, you don't want to beat my idea of hundreds of horses."
Hearing this, Kong Jie immediately became unhappy, and said angrily: "Look at what you said, the two brothers do business, and if they make money, it should be two people, even if they divide the family in the future, it should be half of one person, right?" ”
"Don't worry, I'm not greedy, I only want my share, and I won't take more from you."
"Gotta get it." Li Yunlong's face fell, "I understand, let's stop here." ”
"Just when you and I didn't say anything, next, I will arrange the next stage of work as the head of the regiment."
"The Second Battalion is currently reducing its strength, and the mood of the commanders and fighters is very great, Comrade Kong Jie, the regiment has decided to send you to the Second Battalion to squat for guidance, and we must do a good job in the downsizing work."
"As for the rest of the work in the regiment, don't worry about it."
Kong Jie was angry, and scolded with a smile: "Li Yunlong, Li Yunlong, you fucking this is an official revenge, so many years of brother, I still don't know you?" ”
"You kid, it's always been that you want to eat it alone when you have benefits."
"Okay, okay, I don't care about this deal, the benefits are all yours, okay this time?"
Li Yunlong's face changed to a smile in seconds, and he asked with a smile: "Talking counts?" ”
Kong Jie said: "A mouthful of spit and a nail. ”
"That's good." Li Yunlong's face was straight and said, "Comrade Kong Jie,"
"After careful consideration by the regimental party committee, it has been decided to give you an important task."
"You kid, it's still the party committee of the regiment." Kong Jie scolded with a smile, "When the political commissar comes back, I will come to you to settle accounts." ”
"Just him?" Li Yunlong said disdainfully, "There is only one white-faced showman, dare to blow up a stab in front of our old Li?" ”
Kong Jie said: "I have asked someone to inquire a long time ago, people are not white-faced talents who are powerless, and before going to Yan'an, they are deputy battalion-level cadres who are determined to die, you kid should be more leisurely." ”
"You don't have to worry about it." Li Yunlong said, "Hurry up and bring back these hundreds of horses in Wanjia Town." ”
Kong Jie didn't say more, and after taking the guards to meet Wang Ye, he came to the first battalion station.
At this time, the regiment had already received Li Yunlong's order to reinforce the battalion with only nine light machine guns, more than 300 rifles in good condition, and more than 3,000 rounds of ammunition in the whole regiment.
This is actually a gamble for the independent group.
If this battle is lost, it will be a big loss.
However, Wang Ye also knew that Wanjiazhen would not lose this battle.
But it won't be as easy as Li Yunlong said, just bring back hundreds of horses.
In any case, this is a cavalry battalion of the puppet army, nearly four hundred people, and the number of troops is no less than that of a battalion of the independent regiment.
The puppet cavalry battalion is similar to the Japanese cavalry brigade, which generally has two cavalry squadrons and a machine gun squad.
However, the machine gun squad under the Japanese cavalry brigade is usually equipped with four Type 92 heavy machine guns, and the machine gun squad under the puppet army cavalry battalion is usually equipped with four Chinese imitation Czech light machine guns.
Therefore, in terms of firepower and strength, the independent regiment has little advantage.
The whole battalion had a full meal, and began to march southeast in the darkness of the night.
The march was not fast, and by dawn they had walked about sixty miles until they reached a village, where Kong Jie ordered a rest.
More than 300 people in the battalion hid in the two small courtyards at the head of the village, and they were not allowed to make noise or go out, so Wang Ye guessed that these two families should be the legendary fortress households.
It wasn't until it was dark that the first battalion was back on the road.
This time it was a rapid march, and it took only two hours to cover the remaining twenty miles.
After climbing over a low mountain beam, lights suddenly appeared in the dark night ahead.
Although there are not many lights, and they are not bright, in this day and age, unless it is a market town or even a county seat, there will never be a little light at night.
Needless to say, this is to Wanjia Town.
Local comrades are already waiting.
Li Yunlong and Kong Jie said very easily, but they did a lot of preparations.
After receiving the order, the local comrades had already made a clear picture of the situation in the cavalry battalion of the puppet army.
A young farmer was brought to Kong Jie and whispered, "I am the head of the district committee here, and you can call me Xiao Duan, chief." ”
"Hello Xiaoduan."
Kong Jie asked directly: "Have you figured out the situation of the cavalry battalion?" ”
"Figuring it out." Xiao Duan nodded and said, "This cavalry battalion in Wanjia Town was changed half a month ago, and the whole battalion adds up to about four hundred people. ”
"There are about three hundred and sixty horses."
"There are two cavalry companies plus a machine gun company."
"The machine gun company was armed with nine imitation Czech light machine guns."
This situation was somewhat unexpected by Kong Jie and Li Yunlong.
Wanjia Town, a puppet army cavalry battalion, is actually a machine gun company?
The number of light machine guns equipped turned out to be nine, and not four?
Kong Jie nodded, and asked again: "Has the ammunition been distributed to individual soldiers?" ”
Most of the time, the Japanese army will strictly control the ammunition of the puppet army, and only when there is a combat operation, the Japanese army in charge of monitoring will distribute the ammunition to the individual soldiers of the puppet army.
This is also one of the reasons why Li Yunlong has the confidence to eat the cavalry of the puppet army.
Because as long as the attack of the independent regiment is sudden, the cavalry battalion of the puppet army will not have time to receive ammunition at all, so the rifles and machine guns in the hands of the puppet army are decorations, which are not much stronger than burning sticks.
Therefore, it is very important whether the ammunition has been distributed to the individual soldiers of the puppet army.
"Nope." Xiao Duan shook his head and said, "Oh, by the way, there is another situation, today seems to be the birthday of Wan Shunping, the commander of the puppet army cavalry battalion, and all the officers above the platoon commander of the battalion are drinking at his house." ”
"The little devils in charge of supervising the army have also gone."
"This will, the puppet army officer and a few devils are drinking happily."
"Really?" Kong Jie was overjoyed when he heard this, "It's really God's help." ”
At that moment, Kong Jie turned his head and said to Wang Ye: "Xiao Wang, you take a platoon and Secretary Xiao Duan to Wan Shunping's house, and the group of puppet army officers and a few devils will be handed over to you." ”
