Seeing the encouraging eyes of the legion commander, the sniper company commander stood at attention and saluted: "Reporting to the legion commander, the sniper company will resolutely complete its mission."
"Well, yes, I believe you can complete the mission very well. This is the case. One of your missions this time is to snipe the enemy commander, and the most important mission is to fight against the elephant. You must
Kill all the enemy's radio operators as soon as possible."
"Yes, legion commander, resolutely complete the mission."
"Well, remember, it will definitely be all the radio operators. Whether we can successfully break out this time depends on you. Go down and arrange it!" After saying that, Liu Hua returned a military salute.
Slowly, the follow-up troops slowly arrived at Shiwanping. Although the soldiers were very tired, with the encouragement of the political workers, no one complained. They hurriedly ate some marching rations and began to urgently build fortifications.
.
Taking advantage of his free time, Liu Hua thought about Li Jue, who was about to attack. This time, in order to gain the Chairman's attention, Li Jue put on his most elite main division and two independent regiments, totaling more than 10,000 people.
Moving towards Changde in a mighty manner, the well-trained Central Army with more than 10,000 people seemed to be another tough nut to crack. Liu Hua shook his head.
"Regiment Commander, what are you thinking about?" Political Commissar Guan Xiangying looked at Liu Hua who kept shaking his head and immediately came over and asked with concern.
"Haha, political commissar, I think about Li Jue's troops again. I think this time it is a tough nut to crack. Our army will definitely suffer casualties." Liu Hua shook his head and said.
"Yes, Corps Commander, there will definitely be casualties. If it weren't for the sacrifices of these comrades here, maybe all of us would stay here." The political commissar quickly consoled him.
"I know this, but it's heartbreaking to see the number of familiar faces slowly disappearing." After saying that, Liu Hua closed his eyes.
In the afternoon, Li Jue was rushing towards Changde with more than 10,000 troops, hoping to deal a fatal blow to the Red Army when the Communist army was exhausted. However, he did not know that since entering Changde, he had
His words and deeds had already entered the eyes of the Seventh Legion's scouts, and they were constantly reported to the general headquarters using the accompanying radio.
"Legion Commander, Li Jue's headquarters is still ten miles away from Shiwanping. According to the report of the reconnaissance battalion, the enemy did not place scouts at either end of the army. They only placed an advance guard company five hundred meters in front of the team." Communication.
The staff officer walked into the temporary headquarters holding a telegram and said.
"Well, okay, order the troops to prepare for battle. After the battle begins, the reconnaissance battalion will be re-established immediately, and together with the guard battalion, it will serve as the final reserve of the entire army."
Waiting was the hardest part. At this time, Liu Hua had been holding a telescope and pointing at the entrance of 100,000 square feet. Suddenly, a group of figures came into Liu Hua's eyes. "Here we come," Liu Hua shouted to the political commissar next to him.
I saw that a company of enemy frontline troops was defeated and entered Shiwanping. The reason why there was no reconnaissance was because in Li Jue's eyes, the Communist army was now stuck in the quagmire of Changde and it was impossible to draw out enough troops.
The best way to ambush oneself with troops is to block oneself to a certain extent. Often, pride has to pay a price. Finally, the enemy's main force slowly marched towards Shiwanping, with rifles on their shoulders, and the mortar
Artillery and heavy machine guns were placed separately on the accompanying mules and horses, and the troops marched in an orderly manner.
"Idiot!" Liu Hua cursed again, and at the same time he was even more confident in the victory of this battle.
Finally, more than 10,000 people entered the large ambush circle of 100,000 square meters. "Political commissar, fight!" Liu Hua looked at the political commissar who had been silent next to him. The political commissar nodded.
"Commander Wang, send the signal." "Bang bang bang" three signal bombs shot into the sky. Rows of heavy machine guns were immediately exposed on several hills defended by the troops, and one after another began to spit out tongues of flame. Of course, in the end,
The first ones to shoot were the snipers lying in ambush on both sides of the road. As the signal flares were fired, almost all the officers on horseback in the enemy's march covered their chests and fell to the ground. Of course, the unlucky ones were those who followed.
The radio operators next to the commander, but for these radio operators, bullets were shot in their foreheads.
At this time, mortars, mountain artillery, and China Coal International no longer ignored the explosion of ammunition on the enemy and the destruction of the enemy's weapons, and desperately sprayed ammunition on the enemy's positions, especially the artillery battalions and artillery companies.
The soldiers, because they had captured a large amount of supplies in Changde, no longer had to worry about saving ammunition, and the artillery shells were fired one after another in accordance with the law. Ten minutes passed, and all the artillerymen had used up almost half of the captured artillery shells.
The highway was bombed again. Seeing that there were fewer and fewer people moving on the highway, Liu Hua nodded to the combat staff next to him.
"Tick tick tick..." The sound of a loud charge sounded from the top of the mountain where the headquarters was located. At this time, Liu Hua finally breathed a sigh of relief and sat on the chair of the headquarters. "Order the troops to clean the battlefield in batches, except for the seizure of
Necessary guns and ammunition, and all wounded prisoners and lightly wounded people must be transferred within two hours. Let the prisoners take the captured ammunition, and the transfer speed of the troops must be accelerated. Whether you can break through the enemy's encirclement will be within these few hours.
We're in." After saying that, he stood up and walked out of the headquarters and walked towards the battlefield. The staff officers behind him began to get busy and prepare to move.
An hour later, the results of the battle were calculated. In this battle, more than 11,000 enemies were annihilated, of which more than 8,000 were killed, nearly 1,000 were seriously injured, nearly 1,000 were lightly wounded, and less than 2,000 were captured. All were captured intact.
There were more than 6,000 guns (guns) and 10 mortars, more than 500 rounds of artillery shells, and 200,000 rounds of bullets, which to a certain extent supplemented the ammunition losses of the troops in this battle.
"Order that all the troops who lost this time will be selected from the prisoners who are willing to join the Red Army. The ammunition captured will supplement the losses in this battle. The remaining prisoners will be supervised by the training camp. They will be educated on the march and recruit as many soldiers as possible.
, Release all prisoners who are unwilling to join the Red Army at noon tomorrow, so as not to affect the marching speed of the troops, and all regiments will immediately gather and move to Cili." After that, he took the political commissar and walked to the teaching camp.
Each department immediately followed the regiment commander's arrangements to replenish the lost soldiers, ammunition, dry food and other supplies.
Finally, after a night's march, the troops arrived at Cili County the next morning. With the support of the local troops left behind, they successfully arranged the troops' campsite. Comrades, in accordance with Liu Hua's orders, organized more than 1,000 unsatisfied troops.
The prisoners who were willing to join the Red Army and all the lightly wounded were released. The soldiers who had been marching and fighting for more than two days finally took a bite of hot food and began to rest and replenish their physical strength.
