Obviously, more than 9,000 Japanese troops were wiped out in two consecutive battles. Such brilliant achievements made even the calm future military god couldn't help but feel a little happy.
For him, the generous material seizure was actually secondary.
The most important thing is that both battles involved red troops. Once the results are announced to the whole country, it will not only boost the morale of the country's military and civilians to resist Japanese aggression, but also improve the status of the red troops in the hearts of ordinary people and democrats. The red troops,
Not only does it advocate the destruction of the beliefs of the capitalist and comprador ruling class, it is also the main force in defending the country against the Japanese aggressors.
The future military god knew the origin of all this very well. Without Liu Lang's guidance and his independent regiment's superior equipment far superior to the Japanese invaders to participate in the battle, he could have achieved this result with only his 129th Division's more than 10,000 men and 7,000 or 8,000 guns.
, don’t even think about it.
Liu Lang, this 26-year-old young man, definitely deserves this bowl of wine.
"Captain Liu, let me toast you too. Next, do you think we should revise the battle plan? It is already 7 o'clock in the evening." The future second-generation leader also smiled and toasted Liu Lang with a bowl of wine and said
He took the opportunity to ask Liu Lang about his next plan while drinking.
Who makes the information brought by Liu Tuanzuo's subordinates so tempting? The huge temptation makes this man with a firm personality unable to sit still. Compared with those, these meals that usually seem to be very delicious are not so fragrant.
Already.
Those who are qualified to sit by this bonfire, in addition to the two chiefs and Liu Lang, are the future generals and the 385th Brigade Commander Wang, and the 343rd Brigade Commander Chen. None of these three brigade commanders are ordinary people, and General Chen does not need to
It is said that every famous woman and child knows that Brigade Commander Wang was promoted from an admiral to deputy commander of the Navy after the founding of the People's Republic of China, and he was also very powerful. And the Brigadier with the same surname Chen was even more extraordinary. He served as temporary deputy twice.
A general in the position of Lin Shuai, his commanding talents are recognized.
It can be said that in the Red Army, those two generals are also worthy of the name. They can talk and laugh happily and sit together to eat meat and drink with Liu Lang, the youngest colonel of the Sichuan Army. That really doesn't mean how high the rank of colonel Liu Lang is.
, it was a battle of cooperation in the river valley, and the various units of the independent regiment fought brilliantly. Whether it was the two battles outside the river valley, or the ferocious penetration of the Japanese positions by the two infantry battalions in the river valley, which directly led to the collapse of the remaining thousand Japanese troops.
The battles have extremely demonstrated the firepower of the independent regiment and the strong training quality of the officers and soldiers. If you can become the chief officer of such a powerful army, you are qualified to sit with them.
The thinking of a pure soldier is actually not complicated. No matter which faction you belong to, as long as you are strong enough and can become partners, it will be fine.
But when they suddenly heard what Political Commissar Deng said, except for the future general who knew all the details, he just smiled and just ate the meat, the other two took a deep breath.
Previously, they only regarded Liu Lang as an important partner. The independent regiment's excellent weapons were enviable, and the fighting will of the officers and soldiers was enough for them to admire. Just like what Commander Liu said earlier, they should be the first to contribute. But in their case
It seems that their numbers cannot determine the direction of this battle. The entire red army of more than 10,000 people is the decisive factor in the victory of the entire battle.
But political commissar Deng made them a little confused when they asked this question. Could it be that this battle was commanded by this young regiment leader who looked like he was a kid from a rich family? The battle plan set by the division leader still needed him.
Edit, isn’t that a bit ridiculous?
In particular, Brigadier Chen, who had outstanding commanding talents but had a bad temper and unruly behavior that would lead to future tragedies, responded with a straight heart: "Political Commissar Deng, I agree with you. Although I have not seen the battle plan, I personally
I feel that although the Japanese invaders have been completely wiped out in two consecutive battles, our army and the soldiers of the Independence Regiment are not invincible. Especially the roads in the mountainous areas are dangerous. Marching at night will cause unnecessary non-combat attrition. I propose that the entire army be repaired.
One night, wait until tomorrow to beat the little devil."
As soon as these words came out, not only the two division leaders stopped talking, but also Liu Lang had a weird look on his face.
This person, just like in history, only knows how to fight, but he is not that good at looking at people! Of course Liu Lang knew what political commissar Deng meant. He had already mentioned in a very subtle way that speed is the most important thing in war.
That means that the whole army will not be repaired, but only one of them will be left behind to clear the battlefield, and the rest of the army will be directed towards Jingxing County.
But this guy was lucky. Before he could figure out the situation, he suggested to stay overnight and fight again tomorrow. Although what he said was correct according to the thinking of most people.
However, when he knew that Jingxing County had only more than 1,000 heavy baggage troops defending it, and 70% of the baggage of the two infantry brigades were all at the Jingxing County Station, it was like a man who exuded the fragrance of a ripe peach.
The beautiful and rich woman has already finished taking a bath, and she is just waiting for you to knock open the door and destroy all her defenses to do whatever you want. If she still has both people and wealth, if he can still be so calm and say that he will spend the night repairing, Liu Lang
Just obey him.
Even a man can't bear it! He must defeat a thousand little devils in one night!
A trace of helplessness flashed across Political Commissar Deng's face. This person's temperament has not changed. However, the 343rd Brigade is temporarily under the command of the 129th Division and is not directly under the 129th Division. He cannot be too embarrassed by this person, but he is too much.
Smart man? He was unhappy, but with a slight smile on his face, he said: "Brigadier Chen may have misunderstood what I meant. Commander Liu is also the same as you. He feels that after a day of fighting, all the officers and soldiers are exhausted."
It should be repaired for at least 2 hours before starting a new combat mission, but the division commander and I both felt that we could not give the Japanese a chance to breathe. We should capture Jingxing County overnight before the Japanese division headquarters was aware of it. But the battle plan was formulated by Commander Liu.
, although the division commander and I were anxious, we could only discuss it with Commander Liu, because soldiers are more valuable than speed!"
This seems to be an explanation, but it is more of a tactful criticism, and it elevates Liu Lang's status in this battle. That means that you brigade commanders must be more careful, and the division commander and I must
Listen to his battle plan.
As soon as these words came out, not only did the intervening brigade commander blush slightly but his heart was horrified, the other brigadier Wang couldn't help but look at Liu Lang several times and reposition Liu Lang in his mind.
"Haha, my brother Chen! Don't be impatient. Listen to what the division commander and political commissar has to say first. When you find out later, you might be able to run faster than all of us." The future general still has a good personality.
He laughed, picked up the bowl and gave this person a toast, turning the slight embarrassment into nothingness.
Sure enough, he is indeed the leader who will rule the Republic in the future! Liu Lang couldn't help but secretly admire him in his heart. With just a few words, this person not only criticized his subordinates but also praised him, and he also completed his own suggestions and made everyone appreciate him.
I can only accept it and cannot refute it. There is really no one else who can do this art of speaking. No wonder the old Taizu in the future was very harsh on the important people in the current affairs. In the end, he was not completely demoted. In fact, his political wisdom was far beyond
What an extraordinary person! Including his old comrades, almost no one can match him.
Why did these two troops immediately send troops to Jingxing despite the hard work of the entire army? It was because they were stimulated by the intelligence brought by the Niu Er Special Team who followed the Japanese army to Shangling Village.
The number of Japanese troops in Jingxing County was only about 2,400, but the weight of various types of arms and baggage was as high as thousands of tons.
Of course, there are more than 2,400 people, of which more than 1,300 are medical teams, that is, doctors, nurses, stretcher bearers and some wounded soldiers. They have almost no combat capabilities. This is still the majority of the wounded who were transferred to the county from the front line.
As a result, they were transferred by train to the base camp of the 20th Division in Shijiazhuang. Otherwise, the number of Japanese troops in Jingxing County would have exceeded 4,000.
In other words, the number of people who can fight with guns in Jingxing County is only about 1,100. With this small number of troops, not to mention they are just second-line soldiers such as heavy baggage troops. Even if they were doubled, they would be two regular soldiers.
The infantry brigade has 15,000 troops in its hands and has been supplemented with nearly 5,000 Japanese rifles and more than ten artillery pieces. The two commanders of the whole army have high morale and they are not deceived.
No wonder they are so eager.
Liu Lang only temporarily modified the battle plan and asked all the officers and soldiers who had been fighting for a whole day to rest for two hours before marching. They all couldn't wait any longer.
In fact, the list of Japanese military supplies Niu Er brought: cotton clothes, food, salt, all kinds of guns and ammunition, it was like a magnet, and it had firmly attracted the hearts of the two chiefs.
"Haha, since the two officers are so anxious, they won't let the little devil sleep peacefully. The entire army will set off in one and a half hours after repair. However, if you have to march on a 70-mile mountain road at night, how soon can you make it?
Arriving?" Liu Lang gave the two of them a hearty smile and asked in return.
"Commander Chen, you can answer this question, Commander Liu. I remember that your Second Division of the First Red Army was the most iron-clad in the entire army." The future military god gave the right to answer to just now.
Brigadier Chen who remembers minor criticism.
"Yes, Commander." Hearing the division chief call his name, the man's face straightened, and a surge of arrogance surged on his face as he replied: "If the entire army is lightly armed, I can guarantee that the two regiments of our 343 brigade will be able to defeat the two regiments within 4 hours."
We will arrive at Jingxing County within 24 hours. If we have to carry heavy equipment, I will try to arrive in 5 and a half hours. If we are not there by then, I will ask someone to lead the military law myself."
Awesome, Liu Lang could only admire him. He knew that this man was definitely not bragging. It was this man who led the Fourth Regiment of the Second Division of the Red Army to march 120 kilometers in one day to seize the Luding Bridge. At night, light troops could reach 17 kilometers per hour.
The speed of Satoyama Road is definitely considered to be the highest in light infantry mobility in this era.
No wonder the future military god only named him to answer him. This also told him in disguise that the red troops were by no means a sideshow in this battle, they were also the main participants.
"Hey, if you don't need heavy equipment, then the whole army of the 343rd Brigade will follow up with light equipment. Each person can carry individual firearms and 50 rounds of ammunition. All heavy equipment will be carried by the 385th Brigade and the 386th Brigade. At 2 o'clock in the morning, the entire army will follow up with Jingxing
Meet on the outskirts of the county town." Liu Lang chuckled.
"Follow up? Who is in front of us?" Brigadier Chen Da was slightly startled.
"The entire army of our independent regiment will arrive at Jingxing at 10:30 in the evening." Liu Lang looked at his watch, his eyes full of pride.
There is no fastest, only faster.
An independent group with three jumpers can run much faster than the iron-footed men. This is the power of technology.
In other words, this is the power of capital.
War is fought not only with will, but also with wealth.
