"Regiment commander, political commissar, come and take a look, haha, the seizures are rich!" Li Qing said with a smile when he saw the two people walking into the headquarters, and the political commissar picked up the list of battle results statistics.
"A total of more than 11,000 enemy people were wiped out, and more than 5,000 enemy people below the rank of lieutenant general and division commander were captured and 36 mortars, 3,600 rounds of artillery shells, 18 mountain guns, and 1,800 rounds of artillery shells were seized," according to another account from a captured enemy artillery company commander, Taoyuan
The county also has 5,000 rounds of mortar shells stored in Zhang Zhenhan's supply camp, 6 reserve mortars, and 3,000 rounds of mountain artillery shells." We seized 30 heavy machine guns, more than 36,000 rounds of ammunition, nearly 200 light machine guns, and 6,000 rifles, pistols, and submachine guns.
Others were damaged by artillery shells, and a total of about 1 million rounds of ammunition and 40,000 grenades were collected. Our army suffered 421 casualties and more than 1,100 injuries, mostly minor injuries."
After listening to the statistics of the results of the battle, Liu Hua suddenly felt that he had not suffered a loss. He immediately ordered the troops to clean up the battlefield quickly, and sent out all the reconnaissance troops to find a way to sneak into Taoyuan County tonight. After his siege begins, he must protect it.
The enemy's ammunition depot and baggage were collected, and the enemy's headquarters was taken away. At the same time, a telegram was sent, requesting the First Division to launch a general offensive and capture Yujiaping.
At this time, Commander Sun Xingbang was discussing with his political commissar Zhao Dahe how to capture Yujiaping, when the telegram from the regiment commander came, "Haha, Lao Zhao, the order from the regiment commander has arrived. How about we start the attack at one o'clock in the afternoon," Sun Xingbang
He held the telegram and said with a smile,
"Well, just one thing, you lead the first regiment to attack from the front, I will lead the second regiment from behind, and the third regiment feints from the two wings. The artillery company will provide artillery support at any time." Political Commissar Zhao Dahe said.
In this way, the First Division began to move in an orderly manner, and soon all the troops were in place. Following Sun Xingbang's order, 12 mortars began to carry out intensive shelling, and the enemy's second-line position was immediately in chaos.
Under the bombardment of mortars, the enemy troops immediately exploded their nests. Regardless of the yelling of their commanders, they began to run desperately to the rear. At this time, the running enemy troops happened to be the heavy machine guns of each regiment.
Target, with the continuous sound of heavy machine guns, the enemy troops were swept away one by one.
The charge horn sounded, and all the automatic weapons on the Second Regiment's position spurted tongues of fire towards the enemy's position. Under the powerful firepower, all the enemy's firepower was instantly suppressed and all went mute. At this time, the Second Regiment's assault
Under the leadership of the second battalion commander, the second regiment pounced on the enemy's position. After a burst of grenades, there was no movement on the enemy's position. Just like this, after paying the price of several soldier casualties, the second regiment occupied the enemy's position.
The army's second line position.
The same thing happened in the regiment's position. In this way, under the fierce artillery fire and intensive firepower of the first division, the remaining approximately two battalions of the enemy were trapped in several yards of the brigade headquarters. The enemy brigade
The commander continued to encourage his men. "Brothers, the reinforcements led by the commander will be here soon. We have to hold on. If we surrender to the Communist army, then the reinforcements from the commander will come together with a barrage of artillery fire."
Come here, we will die as well."
"Brothers, we are all going to die anyway. We will fight to the death and never surrender."
Encouraged by the enemy's brigade commander, the morale of the remaining enemy troops suddenly became high, and the blocking fire suddenly became fierce. Several consecutive charges organized by Sun Xingbang were repelled, and the bodies of more than a dozen soldiers were left behind.
"Commander, we can't do this. If we continue fighting like this, the casualties will be too great." Zhao Dahe, the political commissar next to him, reminded.
"Damn, this group of enemy troops are really desperate for their lives. Political Commissar, tell the mortar company to come over. Damn it, let me bombard this place." The division commander said with a red face.
Soon, all 12 mortars were aimed at the courtyards where the enemy troops were trapped. "Open the artillery and level these courtyards for me." The division commander ordered the artillery company commander with red eyes.
"Boom, boom, boom..." As the shells continued to sound, there were bursts of howls in the yard. After five rounds of shells, the yard returned to calm, and all that was left was to clean the battlefield. The soldiers carried
He walked into the courtyard with his gun drawn, and what he saw before his eyes were the mutilated enemy corpses and severed hands and feet on the ground. Soon, the remaining courtyards were cleared, and the enemy brigade commander and the two
All regiment commanders were killed during the shelling.
"Commander, now is the time to count the results." Political Commissar Zhao Dahe excitedly handed a completed list to his partner.
"Two enemy regiments were completely wiped out, totaling 3,800 people, and a total of 800 people were captured. All others were killed. Our army killed 56 people, seriously injured 21 people, and suffered about 300 minor injuries. The mortar shells it brought were almost exhausted, and they were captured
as follows:
There were 12 heavy machine guns with more than 30,000 rounds of ammunition for the heavy machine guns, 50 light machine guns and the others were all destroyed by artillery shells. There were more than 2,000 rifles, pistols and submachine guns in total, and the ammunition is being counted.
In addition, a small enemy ammunition depot was seized, which contained 100,000 rounds of heavy machine gun bullets, 500,000 rounds of rifle and light machine gun rounds, and 20,000 grenades.
Seized an enemy material warehouse with a total of 100,000 kilograms of grain and several other materials."
"Well, that's right. I didn't expect that the two enemy regiments had so many material reserves. They are worthy of being the ace troops of the Hubei Army. Haha, send a report to the commander of the regiment, saying that the first division successfully completed the mission and completely wiped out the Yujiaping garrison.
, countless seizures." After seeing the results of the battle, Sun Xingbang ordered the correspondent next to him with a smile.
"Commander of the Corps, Commander Sun has sent a telegram. They completely wiped out the Yujiaping garrison and captured countless people." Liu Hua smiled after listening to the political commissar's telegram. Of course, if one of his divisions could not wipe out two regiments,
What happened?
"Okay, order Commander Sun to rest in Yujiaping tonight. The specific tasks will be notified tomorrow. Tell him that he must do a good job in capturing prisoners and bring the troops to full strength without affecting the next battle. That's all. Political Commissar,
Do you have anything to add?" After speaking, Liu Hua looked at the political commissar.
"Well, one more thing is to ask Commander Sun to separate all the officers captured by the enemy to prevent those officers from causing trouble." Political Commissar Guan Xiangying thought for a while and replied.
"Well, just send the report according to the wishes of the political commissar." Liu Hua concluded the order.
"Okay, comrades, now the First Division has captured Yujiaping. Haha, now it's our turn to capture Taoyuan! Order the troops to seize the time to rest and start marching towards Taoyuan County at 12 o'clock in the evening."
"Also, Chen Guangrong, you select a few honest ones from the captured enemy artillery battalions to answer mountain cannons, and immediately let some soldiers learn how to fire mountain cannons. You have to be quick and it must be completed before 12 o'clock. Okay.
"?" Liu Hua looked at Chen Guanrong next to him.
"Yes, legion commander, I promise to complete the mission."
