The beacon of youth

An enemy cavalry regiment was stationed, and the regiment leader was eating when suddenly a correspondent ran in: "Report to the regiment commander, the food supply station of our regiment was attacked by the communist army, and the defenders called for help."

The enemy regiment leader hurriedly got up and went to the regiment headquarters' phone and asked the company commander on the phone: "Don't panic, how many people are there in the Communist Army? What kind of army is it? Explain the situation carefully."

The enemy company commander on the phone said: "Communist, there are probably hundreds of people in the communist army, and many of them are wearing steel helmets, and they have surrounded us now. If we're late, we're done."

The enemy regiment leader who put down the phone was thinking in circles in the headquarters: The main force of the Communist Army is in the Huanxian area. I have never heard of other Eighth Route troops in this area. There are hundreds of people and a large number of steel helmets. The communist army that ambushed our fourth regiment for the first time.

Go or don't go, if you don't go for food, it will be all over. It is too difficult to raise food in this **** Longdong area. Don't come, these grains are all brought from Ningxia, which is the lifeblood of the army.

If we go for reinforcements, can we beat this communist army?The last time the Fourth Regiment suffered a big loss because they were caught off guard by the communist army ambushing on both sides while marching in Sichuan Road. Only more than 1000 out of 100 people ran out.

We are a regiment of cavalry with more than 200 people. Could it be that we can't beat this Communist army of hundreds of people in the plains?Knowing that the food station was besieged by hundreds of communist troops but not daring to rescue it, it would be too useless. If other troops knew about it, how could they be the regiment commander?Even if Shangfeng finds out, he won't let himself go.

Thinking of this, the enemy regiment leader shouted for the whole regiment to gather, and the enemy's cavalry regiment was assembled after [-] minutes.

The head of the enemy regiment shouted in front of the team: "Brothers, a small group of communist troops is attacking our grain station. The brothers guarding the grain station are waiting for us to rescue them. We must also trample this communist army into mud.

The enemy's cavalry came out of the garrison in single file, and the enemy soldiers in the team asked each other for news, and some asked, "Where did the Communist Army come from?" When there was news, the spirit said: "Do you know what happened to the Fourth Regiment last time?" ? I heard that the one who surrounded the grain station was the Communist army.”

The soldiers around asked fearfully: "My eyelids twitched when I heard you say that. This communist army is too powerful. Can we go today? Why doesn't the regiment leader invite other regiments to go with us?" ?”

The soldier who spoke first said: "Are you stupid? The other regiments live in Qingyang City, and our regiment is the only one outside the city. When they arrive at the Communist Army, they will run away long ago. Besides, there are only a few hundred Communists. How can our regiment leader Do you have the nerve to ask for reinforcements?"

A regiment of cavalry ran up and shook the fields, and the horseshoes trampled on the ground. The soldiers of the special service company knew that the enemy's large troops were coming without the sentry report. Li Yong lay down in the first trench and observed carefully. With the sound of the earth shaking, Hei Yaya's enemy cavalry came running from a distance.

Feeling that the enemy has entered the effective range of the 400-meter rifle, Li Yong ordered the soldiers with rifles to open fire. The characteristic of fighting cavalry is that they cannot be placed too close. It is best to kill a large number of people at a long distance. Speed ​​rushed to the front.

Following Li Yong's command, hundreds of rifles fired at once. Li Yong ran back and forth in the trenches and told the soldiers that if the enemy came into range, they would hit them with rifles. They didn't need to aim too carefully, just aim at the large group of troops and shoot.

In fact, it starts firing at 400 meters, and there is nothing to aim at. The speed of the horse is very fast, and it is far away, so aiming is useless. The best way is to increase the shooting of the rifle and use random guns to kill as many people as possible. The old-fashioned rifle does not have a semi-automatic shooting function, and every time a shot is fired, it must be manually pushed and loaded.

Seeing that Li Yong told everyone not to aim too carefully, it was not easy to do. Just shoot randomly at the brigade. The new soldiers didn't feel it. Thinking that our Eighth Route Army is so rich, we have never fought a battle without aiming and shooting before, and this time following the company commander is considered to have seen it.

Li Yong then went back and forth telling the light machine gun not to fire within 100 meters, and the submachine gun not to fire within 50 meters.

Then he ran to the second trench and told Wei Gang's machine gun platoon that the enemy entered the range of 150 meters to shoot heavy machine guns, and opened fire with rifles before entering this distance.

The running enemy cavalry was beaten down dozens of times by the spy company. The enemy in front quickly retreated and reported to the enemy's regiment commander that there was an ambush in front of the enemy.

The head of the regiment looked through the binoculars and said to an officer next to him: "It seems that there can be hundreds of people, and this formation is not very good. With two trenches, we can be blocked? The communist army underestimated us too much."

The enemy officer replied: "Regimental Commander, we must not be careless. This Communist army is not easy to deal with. I guess the Communist Army has other methods that have not been used yet. Shall we try with a company? "

The enemy's regiment leader nodded and shouted: "First company commander, I'll take you to charge."

As soon as the enemy's regiment commander finished speaking, a company of Kuomintang cavalry rushed towards the spy company's position shouting, wielding sabers.

Li Yong knew that it was the enemy's probing charge. Seeing that the enemy had entered within 400 meters, he immediately ordered the troops to open fire. Hundreds of rifles fired in volley. The enemy's cavalry continued to be shot down from the horse, and the enemies who were not shot continued to attack the secret agents. They rushed over in succession.

Within 300 meters, there was a sudden rumbling and rumbling violent explosion. The grenades buried in the ground by the special agent company were slammed by the hooves of the horses. The huge power of the cluster grenades knocked down the enemy cavalry one by one. Five or six war horses were blown down, and only a dozen of the enemy's more than 100 people ran back amidst the continuous explosions.

The enemy regiment leader suddenly realized: "I said why the Communist Army dared to fight against us in the plain area. It turned out that a lot of landmines were planted. The Communist Army set up a minefield with me."

With landmines, can't we rush through: "Second company commander, take your company to continue to charge, pay attention to rush in along the place where the company's war horses have waded."

Another company of enemy cavalry rushed over, just like last time, when they entered the effective range of the rifles, Li Yong ordered the troops to open fire. Amid the continuous shooting of hundreds of rifles and the explosion of hand grenades, the enemy cavalry of a company rushed forward again. There were only a dozen people left and ran back, but this time because the enemy cavalry rushed over where the enemy horses waded last time, the forward had rushed to a place more than 100 meters away from the ditch.

An officer next to the enemy regiment leader said: "Regiment commander, last time I heard from the brothers of the fourth regiment who ran back that the communist army has a large number of automatic weapons. What is the sound of automatic weapons firing, is there any other tricks that the Communist Army has not used?"

The enemy regiment leader thought for a while and said: "Brother, you worry too much. It is difficult for the communist army to march long-distance to supply supplies. A few were captured, but most of our cavalry used rifles, which did not add much to the ammunition of the communist army. I think they were short of ammunition, so they used rifles and landmines to deal with us, but the rifles of the communist army were not counted. What, but the landmines are too powerful, we have rushed into them twice, almost [-] brothers have already built up, but we still haven’t rushed up, what can you do to destroy the landmines of the Communist army?”

At this time, an enemy officer said: "Regimental commander, can you see if this works? Didn't the communist army plant a lot of landmines? This time, let's change the cavalry into infantry, let the brothers dismount, and then let the horses go out and let the horses go out." It’s a pity to go to landmines empty-handed, but it’s much better than brothers using people to go to landmines. We can replenish the horses after they die, but it’s not easy to replenish them if the brothers are all dead.”
