The beacon of youth

Chapter 248: Jiangzhang Station of the Battle of Xifu

The reconnaissance platoon of the independent regiment quickly maneuvered to a place called Jiangzhang Station on Longhai Road. The second son of Changning who was lying on the ground observing suddenly felt the ground under his belly suddenly move, and then spread it from a distance. A long blast of a train whistle.

A train wheezes, wheezes, bangs, bangs, bangs and bangs (the sound of an old-fashioned train with slotted steel rails moving), and the bright locomotive headlights shine far away like searchlights, and the train turns There was a big bend, and the bright lights swept past the place where Ning Erzi and the soldiers were lying on their stomachs.

When the light shone on the scout, the eyes of Erzi Ning who kept observing with the telescope were all white, and he couldn't see anything for several seconds.

After the light swept past, Erzi Ning's eyes saw something again, and the kid couldn't help but said: "****, this train is really powerful, I have never seen such a bright light when I grow up."

A soldier lying next to Ning Erzi also muttered: "Platoon leader, even if all the lights in our village are turned on, none of the lights on this train will turn on. Just now I can't see anything as if I were blind."

Most of the fighters of the Independence Regiment came from the countryside. Few of them had ever seen a train. It was very fresh to see a train this time.

The train came whistling and wheezing, and stopped slowly when it reached a place not too far from the soldiers, and then a few people got off the train, carrying buckets to lift water from under the locomotive.

A soldier excitedly said to Ning Erzi: "Platoon leader, I know what they are doing. The train is thirsty, and it needs to be watered just like the large animals used for plowing in our village, or it will stop working."

Ning Erzi knocked the soldier on the head: "You know what, the train is thirsty, do you know what the train is made of, the train is made of iron, can a train made of iron be thirsty?"

This time, the soldier was right. Trains made of iron also need to drink water. The old steam locomotives had to be filled with water regularly. At the base, a kind of water crane (tubular equipment with the pointed end downwards, a bit like The bird's hook beak, which has long been eliminated), can only use benzene in the middle of the water.

Three people got off the locomotive, and several of them brought a lot of water bucket by bucket from the well in the middle of the line. To be a driver, you have to be a deputy first. Before becoming a deputy, you must first be a fireman. A fireman used to be the most tiring physical work. A shovel of coal weighs more than 30 kilograms, and it is required how many times a minute must be added to be considered qualified.)

After adding water, the driver blew the whistle (upper right hand position), the train made another long sound and then started to move slowly, gradually driving faster and faster, and the train disappeared after a while.

After the train left, everyone finally took a breath, and a soldier said with emotion: "Hey, I finally saw the train. Many people in our village have never seen this big guy in their entire lives."

Ning Erzi snorted with his nose: "What is this? When we win and defeat Lao Jiang in the future, let's all take this train and see what it's like to sit on it, but now is not the time to watch the excitement. Don't forget what it is for, act."

Dozens of scouts rushed down like civet cats, and in a short time they got a clear picture of the situation around the station.

Although this Jiangzhang station is not big, its geographical location is very important. It is less than a hundred kilometers away from Baoji. It is an important outpost station in Baoji City. It has a large storage warehouse and a company. Soldiers guard all year round.

However, the soldiers in this company had no enemy situation for a long time, so their defenses were lax. The soldiers who had no spare time activities had already gone to bed early, and occasionally a few with excess energy still played cards and drank together.

Seeing the unprepared Kuomintang soldiers, Erzi Ning immediately reported the situation to his battalion commander Zhang Jinsong, and the entire battalion of the reconnaissance battalion arrived ten minutes later.

Zhang Jinsong reported the situation to Li Yong, the head of the regiment, and asked for instructions to launch an attack immediately. There was only one company of enemies stationed at the Jiangzhang Station, and our army had not yet discovered the arrival of our army. With the combat effectiveness of the reconnaissance battalion, this one Even enemies have no problem.

Li Yong, the head of the regiment, immediately agreed to Zhang Jinsong's plan, but told him to protect the staff and equipment of the station from being damaged while destroying the enemy. This station will soon become our service, so all kinds of equipment and The safety of personnel is very important, and we must also pay attention to whether there are other enemy troops in other directions, and the main force of the regiment will arrive soon.

Both Fufeng and Qishan were attacked during the day, and there was only one company of defenders at Jiangzhang Station, so there was no need to use any deterrent methods, and surprise attacks would achieve very good sudden results. This is the flexible use of tactics.

After receiving the order, the reconnaissance battalion quickly rushed over, and Erzi Ning pushed open the door of the room that was still lit, only to see a few Kuomintang soldiers bragging about their big stories while drinking.

Ning Erzi roared: "Listen, we are the People's Liberation Army, don't move, raise your hands, whoever moves will kill him."

These guys who were drinking were still a little dazed when the door was pushed open. When the door opened, the cold wind blew, and Erzi Ning yelled again, the wine was almost awake.

Most of the seven or eight drinking soldiers raised their hands obediently. Only one guy may have burned his head with alcohol. He pushed away a few wine bottles and wanted to get a gun. How could Erzi Ning give him a chance to get a gun? The Tommy submachine gun in his hand pointed at the guy's head tap, tap, tap and fired.

At a distance of four or five meters, three bullets hit the boy's head with great precision. Before the bullets got out of his brain, they could not bear the force of the kinetic energy of the bullets, and they were all blown off the bridge of his nose. Going down, the whole head was uncovered from the front, and the red and white brain and bone fragments collapsed the bodies of several soldiers who were drinking together, and the corpses slipped out of the stool to the ground.

The drinking soldiers immediately vomited out the wine and food they ate, and their legs softened and they knelt on the ground: "The PLA has mercy, the PLA has mercy."

The second son Ning ignored these guys, told the soldiers behind him to take away their weapons, and took everyone outside, then quickly came out of this room and ran to other rooms.

As soon as the gunfire rang out here, several gunshots were heard from the room next to it. After a while, the sporadic gunfire subsided. The Kuomintang's infantry stationed in Jiangzhang even slept most of the soldiers. Yes, the sudden attack of the reconnaissance battalion was completely hooded and turned, and he was captured and captured without much resistance. Only a few stubborn officers were directly killed by the soldiers. The entire battle did not exceed two 10 minutes.

At this time, the head of the regiment, Li Yong, arrived quickly with the brigade of the independent regiment. Zhang Jinsong hurriedly reported: "The enemy's infantry company was completely wiped out, and the reconnaissance battalion only had two minor injuries, and there were no sacrifices."

For several consecutive battles, they were the forwards of the reconnaissance battalion. Fufeng, Qishan, and this Jiangzhang were all like this. Not only did they suffer small casualties, but they also achieved great results. This made other battalion officials and soldiers envious, especially Li Jiangguo. He couldn't stop muttering: "The battle was over before we came up. The reconnaissance battalion is now the commander's favorite, and it's more popular than our infantry battalion."

In fact, the other battalion commanders and instructors also had the same concerns with Li Jiangguo, but they didn't say it like Li Jiangguo did. Let the reconnaissance battalion do everything. What do you want our infantry battalion to do? The regiment leader doesn't know what's wrong these days , Always use Zhang Jinsong's reconnaissance battalion to attack first.

He Cuihua, the deputy battalion commander and fifth battalion commander of the supply battalion, was full of resentment. She originally wanted to fight more battles before Wang Huo came back, so that she could get over the addiction of the main infantry battalion commander. They are all the faces of the reconnaissance battalion, and the acting fifth battalion basically didn't fire a single shot. She followed behind Li Yong and muttered: "These few battles have been fought, the fifth battalion is no different from watching the excitement, it's not as good as other Battalion, how many shots can you fire?"

Li Yong ignored Li Jiangguo and He Cuihua's nonsense, told Zhang Jinsong to put down his guard, and then sent people to occupy the entire area within five kilometers around the station.

There are two staff members in the operation duty room of the station, one is the operation duty officer and the other is the field duty officer. At this moment, they are already a little frightened. Seeing Li Yong walking in, one of the older ones stood up with trembling lips. He said: "Sirs, we are all station staff, not soldiers. I don't know what kind of army is the army?"

Li Yong smiled and said to the two people: "Don't be afraid, everyone. I know that you are not soldiers. We are the People's Liberation Army. You should have heard of the discipline of the People's Liberation Army. We have already eliminated all the Kuomintang soldiers in a company outside. I hope you The staff at the station will continue to work as before, and they will inform us in time if there is any situation, I wonder if comrades can do this.”

"It must be done, it must be done." The two people in the duty room promised repeatedly.Li Yong sent several soldiers to let the staff lead the way and bring the station master.

Seeing the terrified stationmaster, Li Yong hurriedly comforted him and said, "We are the People's Liberation Army and the Eighth Route. You have nothing to be afraid of. You can do whatever you need to do. All the personnel of the station's passenger transport, freight transport, shunting, loading and unloading, etc. will be dispatched to the station. Make arrangements and go to work as usual, the PLA guarantees their safety is no problem.

When Li Yong said this, the station master and several staff members calmed down. Once the mood stabilized, the operation watchman said that a train was coming soon, what should we do.
