Chapter 517: The first shot of the battle
Looking at the dozen commanders who were in shock in front of him, Yang Jingyu continued: "Now I order: Commander Zhou Baozhong, lead all the troops of the main fifth column except the artillery regiment, and quietly penetrate into the Japanese and puppet troops.
Behind him, he ambushed the transport convoys of the Japanese and puppet troops coming from Fengtian and Changchun. Then, they returned to the base area and stabbed the Japanese army from the rear. Together with the recruit column, they attacked the Japanese and puppet troops around the base area.
Knock out all the strongholds one after another. Old Zhou, is there any problem?"
"Commander, promise to complete the mission..." Zhou Baozhong stood up and answered with confidence.
"The new column, under the personal command of the commander, with the cooperation of the fifth column artillery regiment, attacked Baishan County, forcing the defenders in Baishan County to shrink their defenses. At the same time, during the attack, we must attack
, you are the momentum of the main force. The Agricultural Reclamation Corps, guerrillas in various regions, and militia organizations are responsible for the security work of the entire base area. I will stay in the base area and take command personally." Yang Jingyu followed closely and then ordered.
"Yes, Commander..." The remaining commanders at all levels responded in unison.
Li Shengda, who was a prisoner a month ago, took off his traitor skin and put on the uniform of the Eighth Route Army under the mobilization of political cadres at all levels. Although, at this moment, he was just a soldier in the recruit column.
He is a platoon leader. However, among his military experience, he is a veteran who has been in the army for ten years...
Before the Japanese army invaded the three northeastern provinces, he was the squad leader of the Northeast Army. Faced with orders from his superiors and his parents who were controlled by the Japanese army and could be killed at any time, he had to put on the skin of a traitor and served in the Manchurian Army.
He continued to serve as his squad leader in this army called the Japs' minions.
However, because of his upright character and the ten years he spent in the Manchurian Army, Li Shengda never did anything to harm or harm the common people. Therefore, in ten years, he could not get the Japanese army and his superiors.
Trusting him, he has been hovering in the position of squad leader.
However, since he was captured by the Eighth Route Army a month ago, his life has completely changed. At the same time, a new general is rising in the hands of Liu Hua.
Under the mobilization of political cadres at all levels of the recruit column, Li Shengda, who had been a rare soldier for decades and had no intention of continuing to work for a long time. Without any hesitation, he took off his traitor skin, joined the Eighth Route Army, and became a member of the recruit column.
a member of.
Coupled with the superb tactical movements and the yearning for Communist Party members that Li Shengda showed during the one-month life training. In less than a month, he was developed into a glorious probationary member. At the same time, he was also
The regiment headquarters directly appointed him as the regiment, company and platoon commander of the recruit column. He became the first captive soldier to be promoted to platoon leader in the entire recruit column.
Under the training of Li Shengda, a veteran who has been in the army for ten years and has rich combat experience, in one month, a platoon of 36 soldiers suddenly became the leader of the entire regiment, both in terms of tactical movements and formation training.
First. The entire first platoon also became the only main platoon in the regiment equipped with three crooked handles and a grenade launcher.
Early in the morning, a loud rallying call began to sound in the empty camp. They had already entered a state of combat readiness a few days ago, and without any hesitation, they immediately got out of the warm bed. At the first moment,
He packed up his equipment, carried his weapons and ammunition, and rushed out of the barracks.
As for the platoon led by Li Shengda, they also rushed out of the barracks neatly and stood neatly at their positions, waiting for the arrival of the company commander.
Under the gaze of more than a hundred recruits, the first company commander stood in front of everyone and said: "Comrades, it has been a month since you joined the army. After a month of training, most of you soldiers have become
A qualified Eighth Route Army soldier. At the same time, after a month of interacting with you, everyone should also know that our Eighth Route Army is a revolutionary force different from the Communist and warlord forces. In our army, no matter whether you are promoted or
To achieve meritorious service, one relies on one's own strength to speak for itself. Comrade Li Shengda, our company and platoon leader, is a role model for everyone."
Seeing everyone's fiery eyes staring at Platoon Leader Li Shengda who was standing at the front of the unit, the company commander continued: "I know, everyone is very envious. He was appointed as the commander in less than a month after joining the army.
Platoon leader Li Shengda. But here, what I want to tell you is that Li Shengda can be promoted to platoon leader, and everyone standing here may be promoted. And now, the opportunity for all of us has come."
"Comrades, according to the order of the Field Army Headquarters, our new column will serve as the main offensive force in this battle. With the assistance of the artillery regiment, we will attack Baishan County. And our regiment and company, as the main company of the entire regiment, will serve as the main offensive force in this battle.
Therefore, as long as you fight bravely on the battlefield, you can serve as squad leader, platoon leader, or even company commander in our Eighth Route Army troops just like Platoon Leader Li Shengda. Tell me, do you have the confidence?
?”
Under the encouragement of the company commander, the fiery gazes in the soldiers' eyes became even more intense. Just as the company commander finished speaking, more than a hundred soldiers all raised their fists and shouted in unison.
Said: "Yes, yes, yes..."
The company commander waved his hand, looked at the high-morale troops in front of him, and nodded with satisfaction. Then, he gave a serious order: "Li Shengda comes out..."
"Report to the company commander, Li Shengda, commander of the company and platoon, has been ordered to come and report." Li Shengda's loud voice, like a thunder, immediately sounded in the quiet camp.
"Comrade Li Shengda, I now order your platoon to advance 500 meters forward for reconnaissance. As the vanguard of the entire army, we are targeting Baishan County and set off now..." the company commander shouted with a serious look.
Li Shengda replied loudly: "Yes, company commander. All in one row are here, turn right, run..."
Thirty-six soldiers lined up in two rows, under the command of Li Shengda, quickly ran out of the queue carrying their weapons and equipment and ran towards the entrance of the camp.
The day's rush march passed quickly. After a night's rest, the 36 soldiers, who were full of energy, started their new day's journey again under Li Shengda's orders. At this moment, after a day's march,
They have already stepped out of the base area's sphere of influence. The target of this operation, Baishan County, is only dozens of kilometers away from them.
Less than two hours after the group had walked out, a soldier in charge of forward reconnaissance rushed to Li Shengda out of breath and reported urgently: "Platoon commander, we encountered a Japs forward observation post ahead.
About a small group of Japanese and puppet troops were guarding the position."
"Finally we encountered the little devil. The troops stopped advancing and were on the spot to guard. You guys, come with me and have a look..." After saying that, Li Sheng took a telescope that was awarded by the regiment leader in the martial arts competition.
With two soldiers, he moved toward the investigation team dozens of meters away.
Sure enough, a squad of little devils plus a platoon of puppet troops, a total of more than 40 Japanese and puppet troops, appeared in front of his eyes. The so-called avant-garde position of the Japanese and puppet troops was blocked on both sides of the road and consisted of a
A crude fortification made of sandbags.
"Platoon leader, there are more than 40 Japanese and puppet troops. We can wipe them all out with one platoon. How about we just kill them all?" Since my platoon is considered the main platoon of the entire regiment,
, the horizons of the three squad leaders also gradually improved. Looking at the crude fortifications in front of them, and seeing less than a small group of Japanese and puppet troops, the squad leader of the first squad, who had enough confidence in his own strength, said with certainty.
"As long as you can, these are more than forty Japanese and puppet troops. They are not stupid. One group will be left on guard. The remaining people will rest immediately and replenish their strength. Correspondent, report the situation here to the company immediately.
Commander, wait for the order..." Li Shengda glared at his subordinate's arrogance and then ordered.
After listening to the enemy situation report from the correspondent, the vanguard company commander did not hesitate at all. He immediately summoned the remaining two infantry platoons and rushed to the location of the platoon as quickly as possible. He saw Li Shengda who was waiting anxiously.
The platoon commander and company commander immediately ran over and asked: "Platoon Commander Li, how is the situation?"
"Company commander, why are you here? The Japanese and puppet troops in front have not discovered us yet. However, their vigilance is very tight. If you want to occupy the rose position of the little devil, you must carry out a strong attack." Seeing the hurriedly running over.
Company commander, platoon leader Li Shengda said.
The company commander raised the telescope in his hand and began to carefully observe the Japanese position a few hundred meters away. Half a minute later, he said: "Platoon Commander Li, the regiment headquarters ordered our vanguard company to launch an attack immediately and annihilate the Japanese outpost on the spot.
All the Japanese and puppet troops in the position. Now I order your first platoon to be the main attacker, the second and third platoons to make detours on the wings, and the fire squad to provide fire cover. Today, let us fire the first shot of this battle as a company. Note
Look, the main force of the regiment is behind us, we only have half an hour, half an hour, we must resolve the battle."
"Company commander, don't worry. The more than 40 Japanese and puppet troops will definitely be wiped out without a single one left." After saying that, several squad and platoon leaders began to assign tasks separately.
Li Desheng, the leader of the main offensive platoon, led more than 30 soldiers and three crooked handles and three grenade launchers from the fire squad. With the help of the thatch cover on both sides of the road, they slowly approached the Japanese outpost position.
On a slope of two hundred meters.
Platoon leader Li Shengda, who was lying on the slope, looked at the Japanese and puppet soldiers who were still unaware of anything in front of him. Looking around him, he saw more than 30 brothers who had been conceived after a month and a bunch of crooked light machine guns.
Menmen grenade. A confident smile immediately appeared on his face, and he ordered decisively.
"The fire squad will build fortifications on the spot, provide fire cover, and line up in a triangular attack formation. They will cover the attack alternately. Fire squad, fire." An order blurted out from Li Shengda's mouth, and five crooked light machine guns were aimed at them at the same time.
The Japanese army position in front of them spit out five hot tongues of fire. At the same time, four grenade launchers fired four grenades accurately into the fortifications of the Japanese and puppet army outposts at the same time.
"Ahhhh..." A series of screams came from the Japanese position two hundred meters away. The seven or eight Japanese and puppet troops standing on guard on the position were all killed in the first round of shooting.
He fell into a hornet's nest and fell into a pool of blood. As for the four grenades, they threw two crooked light machine guns and four machine gun shooters from the machine gun positions on both sides of the road high into the sky.
Looking at the chaotic Japanese outpost shrouded in gunpowder smoke, Li Shengda raised the shell gun in his hand and gave a loud order to the soldiers around him: "Comrades, charge with me and eliminate the little Japanese in front of you..."
Immediately, more than thirty soldiers, with Li Shengda as the center, quickly formed a huge triangle attack formation, and quickly rushed through a small slope blocking everyone...
Facing dozens of Eighth Route Army soldiers who quickly rushed towards their position, and facing the chaos of the troops around them, after killing two Manchurian Army soldiers with his own hands, the little devil sergeant immediately used his cruel rule to command the remaining soldiers.
The more than 20 soldiers below, relying on their remaining equipment, began to launch a crazy counterattack...
"Click, click, click..." Amidst the smoke, a crisp sound of a crooked-handle machine gun fired. A dense rain of bullets immediately came towards the attacking formation.
"Get down..." Li Shengda, who was already keenly aware of the danger, quickly fell to the ground as soon as the gunfire rang out, and shouted loudly to his comrades behind him. However, under the sudden bullet,
In the rain, there were still three soldiers who were slow to react. They were shot head-on and fell into a pool of blood. Their life or death was uncertain.
"You bastard little Japs, comrades, avenge the sacrifice of your brothers. All machine gunners and riflemen, give me a hard blow to suppress the little Japs. Grenades, kill the Japs' machine gunners for me, quickly...
"Looking at the three soldiers lying in a pool of blood, and then looking at the subordinates who were suppressed and unable to lift their heads. Li Shengda, who was already full of anger, without any hesitation, shouted loudly to his comrades beside him.
roared.
"Click, click, click..." The sound of machine gun fire and the explosion of grenades immediately began to sound on the Japanese army's position. The Japanese army had just organized a counterattack, and with the sound of several explosions of grenades, it once again fell into chaos.
among.
Looking at the fleeting fighter plane in front of him, Li Shengda didn't hesitate at all. He immediately jumped up from the ground and was the first to rush towards the Japanese position. For a moment, he was suppressed by the Japanese army and couldn't lift his head. He was suffocated.
More than thirty soldiers, full of anger, immediately followed and joined the charge.
After two rounds of grenade strikes and several rounds of machine gun fire, the remaining dozen Japanese and puppet troops were no longer able to block the offensive of a row of more than thirty soldiers. Without any exception, more than thirty soldiers
A soldier successfully broke into the Japanese position.
"You will not kill if you turn down your gun... Kill... You will not kill if you turn your gun..." More than thirty unstoppable soldiers stabbed the remaining four little Japs to death with random knives. The remaining ten or so Manchurian Army soldiers
No longer thinking about resisting, they all dropped their weapons, knelt on the ground and held their heads in surrender.
"Platoon leader, all 14 little Japs were killed. Except for 12 who surrendered, all 32 Manchurian soldiers were wiped out. In addition, four people from our platoon died and three were injured..." The statistics were completed.
After the victory, the squad leader, whose face was full of smoke, rushed to Li Shengda without any hesitation and said excitedly.
"Okay, good fight. Report the victory to the company commander at the rear immediately...quickly." Li Shengda nodded affirmatively and ordered.
In the temporary headquarters of the new column, a communications staff officer hurriedly rushed to Liu Hua and said breathlessly: "Commander, the 1st Vanguard Regiment reported that the troops have been in contact with the Japanese outpost. In addition, the 1st Regiment and 1st Company have already
Successfully annihilated all Japanese defenders at the outpost."
"Okay! The battle has finally begun. Order the first regiment not to make any assumptions and fight hard. Tell the leader of the first regiment that the main force of the column is his strong backing, and he can fight wherever he can.
I, Liu Hua, am right here, waiting for his victory report." Liu Hua stood up from his stool with an excited look on his face, pointed at the huge military map in front of him, and ordered loudly.
"Yes, Commander, I will go and deliver the order right away..." The communications staff officer quickly took the order and left.
Ten minutes later, the regimental headquarters correspondent came panting to the company commander who was smiling and said loudly, "Company commander, the regiment headquarters ordered that our vanguard company replenish weapons and ammunition on the spot and complete the correction. Then, continue
Attack forward. In addition, during the attack, artillery support from the regiment headquarters may be requested at any time."
"It seems that the headquarters wants to attack the city of Baishan County in one go. Platoon Commander Li, since the regiment headquarters has given us the task of attacking the vanguard, we must not let down the trust of the regiment commander and superior leaders. Li
Platoon leader, your platoon still serves as the vanguard. In a word, if you encounter gods, kill gods, or encounter Buddhas, you must seize the opportunity to fight." The company commander reincarnated and ordered to the company commander Li Shengda behind him.
"Company commander, the first platoon promises to complete the mission..." Li Shengda replied with confidence, turned around and rushed towards his first platoon's location.
At this moment, the entire platoon, although due to the battle just now, four soldiers were sacrificed and one soldier was injured and lost their combat effectiveness, the total strength was suddenly reduced by five people. However, the combat effectiveness of the unit not only did not decrease at all,
On the contrary, because of the battle just now, everyone who survived has experienced the test of war and became a true veteran.
