"Political Commissar, of course our division commander came up with these things..." When mentioning his division commander Liu Hua, Bruce Lee was filled with pride.
"It's the teacher..." Luo Ronghuan's face was full of surprise. You must know that Liu Hua was just 25 years old at this time. How did such a young teacher grow his head? Thinking of this, Luo Ronghuan was very interested in his future partner.
, but it is becoming more and more full of expectations.
With the report just completed by the political commissar and the 1,500 cans left by the Guard Group being handed over to the central government, the Guard Group, led by Bruce Lee, reluctantly left Yan'an and embarked on the return journey.
.Since most of the entire return route was within the scope of the Eighth Route Army base area, the entire guard regiment did not experience any battles. It only passed some small enemy strongholds, fought a few battles, and easily surpassed the enemy.
*** line.
However, the several battles that crossed the enemy's front line gave the newly appointed political commissar Luo Ronghuan a deeper understanding of the combat effectiveness of each unit of the *** division. Because, in these battles, although the guard regiment faced many
They were little Japs ranging from a small team to a squadron. However, if they were in my previous unit, they could be wiped out. However, facing the Eighth Route Army team that was short of ammunition, in the process of fighting with bayonets, it would obviously cause harm to the troops.
Huge casualties.
However, the accompanying guard brigade left a different impression on him. Facing less than a squadron of little Japs, they often mounted more than a dozen light machine guns, constantly pouring ammunition at the Japanese army. At the same time,
, the riflemen continued to use the rifles in their hands, under the cover of the light machine guns, to shoot down the Japanese light and heavy machine gunners and grenade launchers, never giving the Japanese army a chance to show off their heavy firepower.
At the same time, the bullets of this unit seemed to be free of charge, because in the previous units, after three rounds of shooting, the troops often launched an attack and began brutal hand-to-hand combat. The Guard Brigade Regiment did continue to use
Intensive firepower harvested the lives of the little Japs. It was only when there were very few Japs left in a squadron that the troops were ordered to charge.
There is no doubt about the final result. There are nearly 2,000 people in a regiment, and there is only less than a small group of Japs left in the clearing position. They suffered almost no losses and were easily eliminated by the soldiers with rifles, light hands and bayonets.
, leaving no trace of trouble. The entire army continuously eliminated four patrols, and a total of more than 300 little Japs were eliminated. The Guard Brigade, although it spent a lot of troops, only suffered less than one casualty.
The strength of the platoon, and most of them were penetrating wounds from bullets, which were easy to recover from.
"Brigadier Li, I would like to ask how many rounds of ammunition each soldier in the *** division has in total...Why in the ambush battles you just passed, the soldiers seemed to want bullets for free?
Shoot desperately. If this happened in other Eighth Route Army units, some commanders would have given them a lesson." Finally, unable to bear the curiosity in his heart, political commissar Luo Ronghuan came to Bruce Lee who was directing the soldiers to clean the battlefield and asked.
"Reporting to the political commissar, according to the regulations of the *** Division Headquarters, in peacetime, the amount of ammunition carried by the troops is 20 rounds. However, if there is a battle, the logistics will provide supplements at any time, and generally carry 50 rounds of ammunition for combat. This
The time we escorted the political commissar Guan back to Yan'an, because the task was special, everyone slacked off 50 rounds of ammunition." After hearing the political commissar's question, Bruce Lee immediately reacted and answered quickly.
"50 rounds of ammunition, but I just saw that in the ambush battle, the soldiers fired for at least five minutes. It was not just a battle, but almost half of the ammunition on them was consumed. There were also bullets for the light machine gun. I
I just did some calculations. In less than five minutes, the regiment and the battalion fired almost five thousand rounds of bullets in order to completely annihilate the two Japanese squads. The bullets have all been fired. Where did you come from?
I’m just here to add some extra information! Also, if you encounter the enemy twice again, won’t you have to fight with bayonets..." the political commissar asked doubtfully.
"Haha, political commissar, this is the division commander's order. Unless all the bullets of the troops are exhausted, no troops are allowed to bayonet with the Japs unless it is absolutely necessary. As for the replenishment of ammunition, the division commander said, let us fight to support the war."
Bruce Lee immediately understood the political commissar's intention and quickly answered.
"War feeds war...but you have shot so many bullets. If you encounter the Japs again, what will you use to fight..." Hearing these words, the political commissar became even more confused.
"Political Commissar, in the battle just now, we eliminated 120 Japs. Although we wasted nearly 5,000 rounds of ammunition, we captured 75 rifles, six light machine guns, four grenades and corresponding ammunition.
Let’s talk about rifle ammunition. The standard configuration of the Japanese army is 120 rounds of ammunition per person. In addition to the ammunition reserves they carry with the army, excluding the ammunition they fired, in the ambush just now, we captured nearly 10,000 rounds of rifle ammunition.
More importantly, the Japanese machine gun and rifle bullets are universal, and with about 3,000 rounds of machine gun bullets, we are guaranteed to make a profit. The soldiers not only replenished the ammunition they just consumed, but also had nearly 10,000 rounds of ammunition left. Division Commander
As I said, this is called fighting to feed war. When you encounter the little devils, you must eliminate them all and use the bullets they produce to destroy themselves." Bruce Lee explained with a smile.
"Well, let me think about it, it seems to be the truth. Brigadier Li, on the way next, you can tell me all the disciplines you know in the base area, the organization of each unit, the firepower equipment, and
Let me have a general understanding." Political Commissar Luo Ronghuan nodded thoughtfully.
"Yes, political commissar, I will definitely tell you everything I know." Bruce Lee readily agreed.
As time passed day by day, after the entire unit passed several security lines of the Japanese and puppet troops, the distance to the base area became closer and closer. Finally, on the eighth day after leaving Yan'an, the 1st Guard Brigade Regiment
The vanguard troops finally met the cavalry regiment that came to meet them.
"Reporting to Brigadier Li, one battalion and one company of the Cavalry Regiment have come to greet the political commissar under the order of the division commander." Seeing Bruce Lee, the cavalry company commander quickly dismounted, and after a quiet military salute, he replied loudly.
"Well, it's Company Commander Zhou. Let me introduce to you. This is the newly appointed political commissar of our *** Division, Political Commissar Luo." Seeing Zhou Tao, the commander of the first company of the Cavalry Regiment, Bruce Lee felt as if he had returned home.
Excited, he pointed to the political commissar beside him and quickly introduced him.
"Ah... report to the political commissar, Zhou Tao, commander of the first company of the Cavalry Regiment, has been ordered to come to meet him and ask for the political commissar's instructions..." Seeing the friendly-looking veteran next to Bruce Lee, he was the political commissar of the *** division. Zhou Tao couldn't help being surprised and hurriedly
Saluted again and asked loudly.
"Haha, Captain Zhou, don't be so formal. Since we are about to arrive at the base area, let's set off quickly, arrive at the base area earlier, and feel at ease earlier." Seeing Zhou Tao's face flushed, the political commissar immediately understood that it was because of nervousness.
He quickly comforted me.
"Yes, political commissar. The division commander is currently at the second division headquarters. At our current marching speed, you still have at most one day and one night before we can reach our destination." Company Commander Zhou Tao replied loudly.
"Okay, then we will seize the time to march. Return to the base area as early as possible and meet with the division commander." Political Commissar Luo Ronghuan nodded and ordered.
"Yes, political commissar..." several people replied in unison.
In this way, the entire Guard Regiment, led by the cavalry company, entered the sphere of influence of the Jinyi base area within a day. After the troops rested for three hours, they set foot on the return journey again. Passing through again
After six hours of continuous march, we finally met the division commander Liu Hua who had been waiting here for a long time in a village.
"Political commissar, I have been looking forward to you for half a month, and finally you are here. You don't know, when I learned that the central government transferred you to our *** division as a political commissar, I was so happy. I thought I was a
When you were the squad leader, you were an outstanding political cadre of our Red Army, and you were also the political commissar of the army. I never expected that we would become partners today because of the twists and turns of the world. I am just a new recruit in front of you. I hope that the political commissar can treat me like a soldier in the future.
Criticize a lot and correct me a lot." Seeing political commissar Luo Ronghuan who was both familiar and unfamiliar to him, Zhang Hua was excited and happily held Luo Ronghuan's upper hand and said.
"Commander Liu, please stop talking about me. In the past two years of the Anti-Japanese War, the *** Division has fought many battles with the Japanese invaders under your leadership. These battles frightened the Japanese invaders. What is more important is to completely annihilate the Japanese army.
This battle of the Fifth Division has greatly boosted the ambition of us Chinese people. The central government trusted me and sent me to *** as political commissar. It was my honor. Commander Liu, we will be partners from now on. I hope we can be together in the future.
Cooperate with each other and lead the powerful force of the *** division to achieve greater victory in future battles." Seeing that the young man in front of him was so easy to get along with, political commissar Luo Ronghuan finally let go of his worries and answered with a smile.
road.
"Well, political commissar, I believe that under our joint leadership, the *** division will definitely become a powerful force that will scare the Japanese invaders..." Liu Hua also said with excitement on his face.
"Political Commissar, you have been on the road for more than ten days. I asked the cooking team to prepare a sumptuous banquet in the village. Let's have a good chat tonight. As for the meeting with the heads of each military division, we will wait.
We returned to the *** Division Headquarters and are arranging a meeting of cadres above the base area regiment for everyone to meet with the political commissar." Liu Hua said with a smile.
"Commander, you can't be special... We will eat whatever the soldiers eat?" Hearing that a sumptuous banquet was prepared for him. As a very principled political commissar, he couldn't help but frown.
I frowned and quickly got vaccinated.
"Political Commissar, don't worry, there will definitely be nothing special. These things are common things in our base." Liu Hua said with a smile, and at the same time, he pulled the political commissar to a house where a dinner table had already been set.
As soon as we walked to the door of the room, everyone smelled the smell of meat.
"Political Commissar, please... I asked the cooking team to prepare this. Guard, bring out a bottle of good wine I brought..." After the political commissar sat down, Liu Hua faced the guard at the door and said,
He ordered loudly.
"This, Commander..." Looking at the table full of big fish and meat, the political commissar frowned even though he was prepared.
"Squad leader Wang, please introduce the source of these raw materials to the political commissar, haha. I think if you don't explain clearly today, the political commissar will definitely not eat it..." Looking at the frowning political commissar, Liu Hua looked at
The cooking squad leader next to him said with a smile.
"Yes, Division Commander. Political Commissar, this is mule and horse meat. Some time ago, when we wiped out the Japanese Fifth Division, we captured hundreds of injured mules and horses. For your arrival, the Division Commander specially asked me to
I left one. These fish were just caught by the guards in the river today. They are very fresh. The pork and mutton are all raised by the logistics department of our base. As for the chicken and hare meat,
It's the soldiers of the security platoon who have been preparing for your arrival on the mountain today. So, please feel free to eat it, political commissar. There is absolutely nothing special here. If you don't eat it, you will let down the hearts of the soldiers."
The guard squad leader pointed at each dish on the table and introduced it with a smile.
"Ah... Commander, these are all true." The political commissar said in disbelief.
"Haha, if that's the case, then I'm not polite. For so long, except for the meat meal I had with a group of soldiers in Yan'an before leaving, I haven't tasted meat for half a month.
Haha, it seems that the *** division is not only well-equipped, but also has good living conditions. This time, I really came to the right place..." Seeing Liu Hua nodded, the political commissar did not hesitate at all, picked up the chopsticks and started
As he ate, he lost all the seriousness he had just now.
After the troops rested for a day in the Second Division, they marched for another two days and finally returned to the headquarters of the *** Division, where Zhangjiazhuang is located. However, there were a lot of people who came to greet them this time, including Zhangjiazhuang.
All the cadres at regiment level and above who could come nearby, plus their respective guards, a welcoming team of several hundred people, were waiting at the entrance of the village.
Facing the welcome of hundreds of people, everyone stayed at the entrance of the village for a full hour. Liu Hua and political commissar Luo Ronghuan were escorted by everyone and walked to the headquarters. Of course, there was no doubt that at noon, there was no doubt that
, once again had a welcome feast. Political Commissar Luo Ronghuan once again experienced the richness of various materials of the *** division.
As for the next two days, political commissar Luo Ronghuan was shocked to learn about the current troop establishment of the *** Division, the training of the troops, the reserves of supplies of the *** Division... and the construction of all aspects of the party, government and military in the base area.
"Division Commander, I finally know now. Why has our *** Division been able to win so many battles? More importantly, why is it capable of wiping out a Japanese division with the strength of one division and also being able to capture it?
Taiyuan, an important town with strong fortifications?" The political commissar, who had learned about the general situation of the *** division, sighed to Liu Hua who was sitting at the table as soon as he walked into the headquarters.
"Well, let me listen to what the political commissar said. Let me also explain the difference between our *** division and the political commissar's old army..." After listening to the political commissar's words, Liu Hua smiled and asked.
"In general, there are a few things. On the one hand, the troops are well-trained. According to what I know, all the soldiers in the main force of the *** Division have experienced war. Even the new recruits who have joined in have also experienced
The militia or garrison troops in the flames of war. The main forces in other base areas are basically new recruits who have never touched a gun. In terms of overall combat effectiveness, one main regiment of the *** Division is worth two regiments of other troops." Political Commissar
Luo Ronghuan said with certainty.
"Well, it seems that the political commissar has a very unique vision. He immediately discovered the reason why the various units of the *** division can always maintain strong combat effectiveness. Political commissar, to tell you the truth, all the young and middle-aged people in the entire base area want to enter
The main force must go through a period of experience in the militia or garrison. And we also use the militia and the garrison as a base for training new recruits. Are there any others?" Liu Hua nodded and continued to ask.
"The second is that the equipment is advanced and the ammunition is sufficient. According to my current understanding, the firepower density of a regiment of the *** Division is simply as high as in the sky and on the ground compared with other divisions of the Eighth Route Army. At the same time, the firepower density of the troops
There is sufficient ammunition. During wartime, each soldier carries 50 rounds of ammunition. There is also a large amount of ammunition reserves, which is something that the other three main divisions would not dare to think about."
"The other thing is the heavy firepower of the army. You don't know that before I came to ***, the entire 115th Division had less than 40 mountain artillery, infantry artillery, and field artillery, and all of them were 75-caliber.
What's more important is that these limited mountain artillery and field artillery must be evenly distributed to various military divisions. Where is our *** division so wealthy, with one heavy artillery regiment, plus three ordinary mountain and field artillery regiments, and mortars?
To join an ordinary infantry regiment. This was simply unimaginable before I came to ***." The political commissar let out an exclamation and replied.
"Well, this is also an important reason." Liu Hua smiled and nodded.
"Division commander, there is another most important reason, and it is also one thing that is very different between our *** division and other troops, and that is the tactics and tactics of our *** division." the political commissar continued.
"What tactics and tactics are different from other troops?" Liu Hua couldn't help but exclaimed after hearing what the political commissar said. Unexpectedly, less than two days after the political commissar arrived at the *** division, he discovered that the *** division had won the victory.
As a magic weapon, I couldn't help but admire the political commissar in front of me even more.
