Chapter Twenty-Eight: Ding Wei in Action
Xingjia Village, the headquarters of the new 1st Regiment of the 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army.
Ding Wei's regimental headquarters was slightly far away from the headquarters, so he received orders a little later than other brother units.
However, their position was relatively close to the brigade headquarters, and while the troops were being dispatched to prepare for departure, Ding Wei also sent his own battalion commander to the brigade headquarters to inquire about the news.
Finally, the commander of the first battalion returned with information before the team left.
"I heard at the brigade headquarters that our headquarters sent a small team to make a long journey to raid a devil hospital, and kidnapped a lot of devil doctors."
When Ding Wei heard the news, he was a little overwhelmed. Since this news came from the brigade headquarters, it is certainly not a false rumor.
With a keen sense of smell on the battlefield, he immediately returned to his regimental command post, unfolded the map on the table, and judged the current situation of friendly forces by analyzing the garrison of the devils in various transportation points.
As a veteran with rich command experience, Ding Wei attaches great importance to the operation of his own territory.
It has been more than a month since he came to the new group, and he has long been in harmony with the major forces around him, and Ding Wei will receive the news as soon as there is any trouble.
He looked at his battalion commander and asked an intriguing question.
"Do you know who the commander of that small force is? How are they doing now? ”
Hearing his regiment commander's question, the first battalion commander showed an expression of waking up like a dream, and hurriedly reported the important news to Ding Wei.
"The commanders of that unit are all your old acquaintances, Zheng Yingqi and Li Yunlong! It is said that they are still hiding from the devils, and they cannot be contacted by the headquarters. ”
"Hahaha, I should have guessed a long time ago, only the two of them could do this kind of thing crazy and steady."
Thinking of his old comrades-in-arms, Ding Wei showed an imperceptible smile. He pointed to the map in front of him to the battalion commander, and after looking at the other party for a while, he said:
"Judging from our own intelligence network, the devil's forces are gradually shrinking, and they are approaching our defense area."
"This means that Li Yunlong and they are coming towards us. As his old comrade-in-arms, I have to help him. ”
"Pass my order, this time I will personally lead a battalion to help Li Yunlong and them break through. You take the map, go to the brigade headquarters again, and tell the brigade commander what we think. ”
With the order given, the new regiment, the war machine, was in good order.
If the special service company had not retreated towards Ding Wei's defense area, he would naturally have been able to fully obey the order, and he would not have to consume too much ammunition.
But now that he knows that Li Yunlong and the others will most likely come from here, they don't take radical action in this situation, that is, they will not be saved in the face of death.
Yu Gong and Ding Wei couldn't let the devil have a good time, and he led the troops to the nearest county town in the defense area.
This is a town twenty kilometers away from the county seat, because it is close to the range of activities of the Eighth Route Army, and recently the devils have built a military station in the town, in which a squadron of Japanese puppet troops is stationed.
Once the nearby devils fight with the Eighth Route Army, the Japanese puppet army at this station will be dispatched to support as soon as possible.
Ding Wei held up his binoculars and looked at the enemies that were gathering in the town, and they were fully armed and inspecting the sidecar motorcycles. He smiled crookedly, and his tone was slightly eerie:
"Hehe, it's better to come early than to come by coincidence, now these devils are really poor in vigilance, and they don't even arrange vigilance."
In the forest behind him, more than 500 soldiers of the new regiment were hidden.
After the battle of Cangyunling, although the new regiment was reduced, Ding Wei quickly replenished his troops by virtue of Li Yunlong's reputation after taking over.
After the soldiers recognized Ding Wei, the new regiment commander, the combat effectiveness of the whole regiment was even comparable to that of Li Yunlong's period.
As if he had guessed his regiment commander's arrangement, a company commander asked tentatively:
"Commander, are you planning to surround Wei to save Zhao? Attack the military station of the devil and attract the devils from the surrounding counties? Share the pressure with the old leader? ”
How to say that Ding Wei is also a person who has studied carefully, although he did not succeed in the rear, but a simple idiom will not be difficult for him.
"Yes, that's what it means. As long as we are under enough pressure, Li Yunlong will have a chance to drill a hole out. “
"And all the little devils in this military station have come out today, we can use this opportunity to make a big wave and see if we can hurt them at one time."
Putting down the binoculars, he looked behind him:
"Don't move the fifth company first, you stay to deal with all emergencies, and the rest of the people will touch me from the left"
This time, Ding Wei brought all the old guys, and almost every soldier was an experienced veteran. In addition to the artillery, he divided everyone into five groups.
This time, in order to save his old comrades-in-arms and to repay the favor, Ding Wei brought almost all the light machine guns of the whole regiment.
Of course, this light machine gun still contains Shaosha, which Li Yunlong did not return at the beginning. Sometimes Ding Wei still wonders if this foreign thing is so rubbish that even the creditor has forgotten that there is such a thing.
More than 50 light machine guns required almost the entire regiment of machine gunners to be consumed, and in this battle the new regiment really delegated machine guns to the squad level.
With Ding Wei's order, he took four companies to detour to the jujube forest on the left and touched the devil's military station. The reserves that had been left behind were not idle, and they sent a part of them to guard the perimeter.
Ding Wei led the people to the edge of the woods, ordered everyone to stop, it was less than 500 meters away from the devil's station, and he ordered the artillery to set up mortars.
"Artillery prepare, aim at the devil's three jumpers!"
Wang Chengzhu, who had just returned from a serious illness, led his subordinates to start preparing for the war. This time he was not only promoted but also had a new gun, but also an 82-mm mortar with a gun scope.
"Everyone obeyed my orders, and the artillery immediately charged after opening fire. When the enemy comes into range of the machine gun, he opens fire, aiming at the point. ”
Ding Wei broke the nose of the barge gun in his hand, and the soldiers also checked the weapons in their hands.
However, the Japanese puppet army on the opposite side did not notice them at all, and the efficiency was extremely slow, so most of them were still waiting for the order to set off.
"Pillars! Fire! ”
With the sound of firing from an 82-mm mortar, the shell fired by the pillar himself hit the devil's motorcycle parked in the clearing.
The explosion of motorcycles and artillery shells brought great casualties to the Japanese puppet army.
82 mm is no longer a light force, 3.8 kg shells are very powerful. It's a pity that the rate of fire of the mortar is not fast, even if Wang Chengzhu comes to use it, eight rounds a minute is the limit.
The fighters, accompanied by mortars, rushed to the enemy not far away, and the machine gunners quickly began to work. In the face of those panicked enemies, they calmly look for the right angle of fire on the spot, locking their crosshairs on the enemy.
At the same time, the rifles of the fighters were fired synchronously. At this distance, the new regiment achieved remarkable results, killing more than twenty devils in the first wave of attacks alone.
There were no surprises in the battle, and after paying the sacrifices of a dozen soldiers, the devils in the barracks were basically eliminated.
These devils' will to fight is indeed remarkable, but Ding Wei and them are even better. After seeing their masters killed, the puppet soldiers naturally ran and surrendered.
"Everyone quickly clean up the battlefield and count the captures!"
"We've got a busy day."
