The weather in northwest Shanxi has passed midsummer and is gradually getting cooler.
The attack on the Zhengtai Railway line has lasted for more than half a month.
On the 10th, the Eighth Route Army headquarters issued an order to all ministries. All offensive forces stopped their raiding operations and temporarily rested in preparation for the next battle.
Independent group.
Resident.
After the communications squad conveyed the order to each department, the battalions and companies of the independent regiment returned to their bases one after another.
On the 12th, Li Yunlong also returned to the station with part of the Fourth Battalion.
Kong Jie and Zhao Gang ordered a military meeting to be held at the regiment headquarters that day.
At the meeting, the company commanders of each battalion were present as representatives, and their faces were all filled with excitement.
It seems that after the division of troops during this period, each unit that carried out raid operations has gained a lot. In the original words of regiment leader Kong Jie as the opening speech of the meeting:
"Okay, everyone has almost arrived. Let's have a formal meeting. Take a look at each of you. How long have you not seen each other? You all have a red face after eating. You know, you are going to carry out raids and fight against the Japanese.
If you don’t know, I thought you were here to gain weight!”
Hahaha——
The cadres laughed together.
The Fourth Battalion Commander Zhang Dabiao said: "Commander, you are right. We in the Eighth Route Army have always had a rule, which is to eat meat when we meet little devils, and not even drink soup when we are not beating little devils." "During this period, the brothers in the regiment are always thinking about the dark. Why? Because as long as it gets dark, there will definitely be a war and the Japanese will kill. As long as we win the battle, are we still worried about not having meat to eat? Back and forth.
Yes, I gained weight in less than half a month."
After another burst of laughter, Kong Jie looked at Li Yunlong, who was pretending to be calm, and asked with a smile: "Da Biao, what do you mean, your four battalions have gained a lot during the time when they were divided?"
Zhang Dabiao chuckled, scratched his head in embarrassment, and replied: "Commander, I'm sorry, in the past half month since our troops were divided, our four battalions have uprooted more than 800 meters of Japanese railway tracks, blown up eight bridges, and tunnels.
Two places, three stations and one communication station.
Eradicated nine small Japanese strongholds and two medium-sized strongholds, a total of 11 Japanese strongholds, and blew up eight Japanese artillery towers.
As for the seizures, I won’t go into details about various living supplies, rail steel, etc. I will just briefly talk about some of the seized equipment.
There are eight light machine guns, five grenade launchers, one heavy machine gun, more than 300 rifles, and a total of more than 20,000 rounds of bullets of various calibers.
A total of more than 170 Japanese soldiers and more than 230 puppet soldiers were eliminated, and more than 100 puppet soldiers were captured."
It seems that Zhang Dabiao has memorized these data. At this moment, he is clearly talking with his eyes wide open, but he still has to look funny and ashamed.
Old Versailles, probably refers to Zhang Dabiao at this moment.
Li Yunlong on the side listened to Zhang Dabiao's words and finally couldn't sit still anymore. He coughed twice and cursed with his eyes wide open: "I said Dabiao, you are just a loser. You are just a melon and a jujube. On the way."
I have told you so many times that there is nothing to say.
What's there to say?
Isn't it just that we attacked a few strongholds and made some seizures?
Under the command of our Commander Kong, how can other teams attack strongholds and capture less than us?"
Zhang Dabiao: "..."
In his ears, he seemed to recall Li Yunlong's words on the way to the camp... "In the meeting later, you kid has to be the first to speak. Why? You have to calm the other battalions as soon as you speak, so that they are embarrassed to speak.
.When we divided our troops this time, I made a bet with Lao Kong that the troops under whose command could attack more strongholds and make huge captures. When we report on the battle situation later, we must show momentum!"<
/p>
Zhang Dabiao really learned in front of him:
Using the most low-key words to give the most domineering report is the highest level of bragging and showing off.
The cadres were indeed surprised. The performance of the Fourth Battalion was absolutely impressive.
Kong Jile said: "Old Li, don't think of ways to show off. Look at what you said. I'm afraid I don't know that you, Old Li, have commanded well in the past half month. You have attacked many strongholds and captured them."
If there are too many, I just have to write the word "Dese" on my face."
"Okay, the fourth battalion commander has already reported the battle situation to us, which is a good start for everyone. Next, the other battalion company commanders will also report the situation."
"Ninth Company Commander, you come first!"
"Yes!"
Zhu Wu responded and replied: "Report to the commander, our Ninth Company does not have the capacity of four battalions. In addition to more than 600 meters of railway tracks, we only uprooted four small Japanese strongholds and one medium-sized stronghold, and wiped out more than 110 Japanese troops.
We seized six light machine guns, six grenade launchers, more than 100 rifles, and more than 30,000 rounds of ammunition..."
After Zhu Wu finished speaking, the entire conference room suddenly became quiet, and all the company commanders looked at Zhu Wu with shock on their faces.
Everyone has the same thoughts at the moment.
The ninth company was indeed inferior to the fourth battalion in terms of the number of strongholds destroyed, but in terms of seizures, it was even equal to the fourth battalion. The most important basic amount of captured bullets directly exceeded the fourth battalion.
You know, this is just a company!
As for the team led by Deputy Commander Li Yunlong, it is a whole battalion. In the past half month since the division of troops, Deputy Commander Li has selected many new recruits from the local army and militia organizations that are cooperating to join the Fourth Battalion. But even so, the captured data of the Fourth Battalion and the Ninth Company were actually almost the same.
How is this possible?
Zhang Dabiao said doubtfully: "During this period, we have taken the initiative to fight a tough battle, which is not easy. Even if we can take down the enemy's artillery towers and destroy the stronghold, the enemy will always destroy the ammunition in the stronghold before defeat."
We gathered together and blew them up together, even if they died, we would not leave them to us. Therefore, our fourth battalion attacked many strongholds, but not much was actually captured. Most of them were ammunition and firearms that the little devils had no time to blow up. But the strongholds your Ninth Company captured are not many. Ninth Company Commander, how did you manage to seize so much ammunition and equipment?"
Li Yunlong on the side also pricked up his ears, which was also what made him curious.
Zhu Wu explained: "Every time our Ninth Company attacks a stronghold, the instructor and I will thoroughly analyze the various situations at the stronghold, and then try to catch the little devils off guard so that they don't even have time to destroy the ammunition.
The instructor and I have always believed that a protracted war cannot be fought. Not only do we consume a lot of ammunition, but even if we capture the stronghold, the actual ammunition we can get will be much less. In addition, the Japanese and puppet troops will also consume a lot of ammunition in the battle.
ammunition.
Therefore, as long as the sneak attack fails, the instructor and I will immediately issue an order to retreat. Even if we give up the attack, we cannot waste ammunition.
Later, the regiment leader sent some new explosive bags that could be detonated remotely. We used these explosive bags to capture another medium-sized stronghold in one fell swoop, and the seizure that time was more than all the previous seizures combined." "New explosive pack?" Li Yunlong wondered.
After Zhu Wu explained, Li Yunlong regretted it. If he had known better, he would not have led his troops to run so far, otherwise he would definitely be indispensable for this new explosive pack.
Then, other company commanders reported on the battles and captures in the past half month.
It's just that Li Yunlong couldn't listen anymore. The seizures of the Ninth Company alone were equal to those of the Fourth Battalion.
This time the bet was obviously won by Kong Jie.
Come on, it’s embarrassing if you don’t control your momentum!
