Chapter 260 The Unexpected Surprise of the Battle of Xifu

After being seconded to the old man, he came back the next morning. The battalion commander Gao Xiang said mysteriously that he had to report the situation to the regiment leader and the political commissar. (Apex Fiction hand-written novel)

"God opened his eyes. Not long after our battalion's commandos arrived in the city, they found an ammunition depot. When I went in and took a look, it was full of good things. Not to mention, in a close There is a large row of anti-aircraft machine guns and bullets in the corner, all of which are new with butter, do you think the Kuomintang is stupid? With such good weapons and equipment, why didn’t they use them against us?”

Wang Chengde, the political commissar, said a little bit dumbfoundingly: "Don't talk nonsense, kid. The Kuomintang is not stupid. No one is a fool. The Kuomintang has only one 144 brigade in Shoubaoji. They already have what they can equip with their troops. No matter how good the weapon is It’s useless without anyone, it’s just a decoration.”

Hearing what Gao Xiang said, Li Yong's eyes lit up. The problem of insufficient air defense forces has plagued the independent regiment for a while, and it has not been effectively resolved.

Whether it is the Eighth Route Army or the People's Liberation Army during the War of Liberation, weapons and equipment must be seized from the enemy's hands. If the enemy does not have you, the Eighth Route Army can't produce it no matter how capable it is.

Before attacking Baoji, Li Yong had to exercise his mind a little bit. A material supply base as large as Baoji might have the weapons and equipment needed by the independent regiment.

Later, when I heard that my independent regiment was the reserve team of the column, I didn't think about it in my heart. As a reserve team, I can't advance to the city, and if I can't advance to the city, I can't grab good things. The reason is very simple.

But thanks to Gao Xiang's artillery battalion, otherwise the independent regiment would have to pick and choose what's left, and there would be leftovers to eat.

This time I still let myself guess right, Baoji really has anti-aircraft weapons, and the Kuomintang troops are not equipped with these weapons.

But the People's Liberation Army doesn't have planes, but the Kuomintang troops have them. These weapons are very useful to the troops of Taiwan. If these weapons can be equipped, the combat effectiveness of the entire independent regiment can be raised to a higher level. , and also have a certain confidence to deal with the enemy's air strikes.

Li Yong couldn't hold back his excitement, and said to Gao Xiang a little nervously, "Has the warehouse sent someone to look after it?"

Gao Xiang: "Leader, I have been fighting with you for so long. Have you never eaten fat pork or seen the fat pig running? Have you never seen the fat pig running or the pig humming? Don't worry, the fat can't be lost , I left all the more than 100 people in our battalion there, and when I left, I told them that this large ammunition depot belongs to our regiment, and no one can go without the order of the regiment commander, so I should feel at ease this time.”

Li Yong's gloomy mood finally brightened up. Gao Xiang is a long-sighted guy, and he always thinks about gaining benefits.

"Li Yuming, tell the two guard platoons to hurry up and eat. After eating, let's set off to see what treasures are in the large ammunition depot that Gao Xiang and the others got."

The meals of the soldiers are calculated in minutes. After ten minutes, the two guard platoons assembled, and a dozen jeeps filed out from the place where the independent regiment was stationed.

Every time something like this happened, Wang Chengde, the political commissar, would not join the team. The actions of Li Yong and others were more or less disciplinary. Do you think he, the political commissar, is in charge or not?Don't care, hurt the enthusiasm of the soldiers, don't care, I'm still a little dereliction of duty as a political commissar, I don't know what happened this time, Wang Chengde also got in the car and set off with Li Yong.

With Gao Xiang leading the way, it didn't take long for Li Yong, Wang Chengde and two soldiers from the guard platoon to arrive at the large ammunition depot occupied by the artillery battalion.

When I got to the front, I found that it was exactly as Gao Xiang said. More than 100 people in their artillery battalion guarded the large ammunition depot tightly. There were a few seals pasted on the gate, which read "Second Column Independent Regiment seized ".

People in the independent group are very used to this style of work. The benefits of falling into the hands of Li Yong and others are like meat falling into the mouth of a wolf. There is no way to spit it out.

The two platoon leaders who led the team to guard the warehouse were old men from the independent regiment. Li Yong pointed at the seal on the gate and laughed and said, "You two guys have done a good job, and we will handle it in the same way in the future. This time, we will verbally Praise once."

Then Wang Chengde, Gao Xiang and Li Yuming asked the soldiers to open the gate and walked in impatiently.

The two platoon leaders who were praised murmured a little: "Hmph, I've heard that our commander will do this, and give you verbal praise every now and then. This is great, our regiment leader has also learned .”

After entering the warehouse, everyone was dumbfounded, even the well-informed Li Yong was a little dumbfounded. If you want to say that it is the army of the Kuomintang, the material reserves are too rich, enough for 10,000+ troops in the field army to use them for two years. What is the concept of food reserves?It's piled up like a mountain.

Most of the people present have never seen such a thing since they grew up. Li Yuming smoked his teeth a few times and couldn't help saying: "Oh my god, this is too much. It takes the grain harvested in our village for a year." It’s not that much together.”

Gao Xiang said with a smile: "Li Yuming, don't brag. There are only a few hundred people in your village? Not to mention the grain harvested in your village every year, even the grain harvested in three to five years does not have the current warehouse There are many."

This large warehouse is divided into several compartments. When everyone comes in, they see that it is just some grain, and if they go inside, it is the treasure that Gao Xiang said.

The blue bark bark bark black barrage and the yellow Chengcheng bullet made Wang Chengde, who is known as the most indifferent person, come forward excitedly.

Li Yong asked Li Yuming and several soldiers to count carefully. The anti-aircraft machine guns placed here were both unpacked and unpacked. There were more than [-] anti-aircraft machine guns in total, and they were all new ones that had not been used once.

It was sent, and Li Yong's first feeling was that it was sent again this time. These weapons were urgently added by the independent regiment: "Li Yuming, tell Lao Sun of the supply camp to send some trucks over, and put all the machine guns first. Take it away, and talk about it later."

Li Yong, who did this, was still acting out of selfishness. Don’t look at the independent regiment who surrounded this large warehouse with people, as if it was the same as his own home, but this is not safe. The discipline of the PLA is that everything seized must be returned to the Communist Party. Then reassign.

If Commander Wang and other chiefs find out about this and give you an order for the independent regiment to hand over the warehouse, what else can you do?It's better to swallow the benefits before no one knows, anyway, other weapons and equipment are not so urgently needed by the Independent Regiment.

It is not too far from the base of the Independence Regiment. It didn’t take long for several large trucks to drive over. The soldiers quickly removed all the anti-aircraft machine guns and bullets in the warehouse. Good thing, the 12.7mm anti-aircraft ammunition is very poorly replenished.

Watching the big trucks drive out one after another, Li Yong finally felt relieved a lot. At this moment, he suddenly remembered something: "Gao Xiang, how is your battalion's ammunition replenished? Don't worry about it. Watch the fun."

Gao Xiang's artillery battalion is the most important heavy firepower of the independent regiment, and it is also a trump card in the hands of the regiment leader Li Yong. When fighting Fufeng and Qishan, the power of the artillery battalion is very shocking. In addition, this time it is assigned to the old 2 regiment , has not been idle.

Hearing Li Yong's shout, Gao Xiang replied in a glib tone: "Regimental Commander, don't worry about me doing business. Our battalion has already replenished its ammunition."

Li Yong thinks about it too, now that these boys come first in everything, if the ammunition in the artillery battalion is not enough, Gao Xiang would have shouted everywhere.

After returning to the regiment headquarters, Li Yong and Wang Chengde discussed and distributed the fifty or so anti-aircraft machine guns seized to each infantry battalion, so that each battalion of the independent regiment had a certain air defense capability.

Originally anti-aircraft machine guns should be used in a concentrated manner according to Li Yong's idea, turning Wei Gang's machine gun battalion into an anti-aircraft machine gun anti-aircraft battalion. machine gun.

Just as the independent regiments entering the city were nervously distributing weapons and supplementing ammunition, the Peichanghui Corps, which the Kuomintang reinforced from Junyi, was not far away.

The fast-moving Kuomintang large corps launched an attack as soon as it reached the Fufeng and Qishan areas, and it was the fourth column of the Northwest Field Army that was deployed in this area.

The three main brigades of the four columns formed a large defense system in depth by means of echelon deployment, and used soil work to resist the Kuomintang's attacking aircraft and artillery.

In history, the Northwest Field Army caused huge losses precisely because of the defensive loopholes of the four columns. This time, with the order from the field headquarters and the reminder from the brother troops before the war, the defense measures of the four columns were much better.

As soon as the two sides came into contact, the battle became intense. The Kuomintang's forward troops launched a frenzied attack on the four columns under the cover of aircraft, tanks and artillery.

The Fifth Corps has a total of more than 7 people in six divisions, while the fourth column of the Northwest Field Army defending on the opposite side has only more than 5000 people, and the strength is very different.

Hu Zongnan knocked on the table on the phone and shouted: "Commander Pei, don't look at the communist army taking our Baoji, but they went deep alone and fell into our siege. Baoji is an area controlled by the Kuomintang, and the people have no support." They ****, I will send all the planes in Xi'an to you, and give the Communist Army an air-ground joint operation. The chairman has already ordered Ma Bufang to rush to the rescue. The 82nd Division is not too far away. As long as you can break through The defense line of the communist army can form a state of encirclement with the 82nd division against the communist army, wipe out the northwest communist army in one fell swoop, knock out Peng Dehuai, and live or die."
