The beacon of youth

Many cavalrymen of the enemy plunged headlong into the ditch, and they fell into a dazed state without the soldiers shooting, and the ones behind fell in one after another.

In just ten minutes, the loss of the seven or eight hundred cavalry was almost the same. Horse and human corpses were everywhere inside and outside the ditch. Horse blood and human blood were mixed together. The scene was extremely tragic. I don't have any unbearable thoughts. War is a game of life and death. If these enemy cavalry are not wiped out in front of the position, then the soldiers of the secret service company should be lying on the ground.

The more than 300 infantrymen behind the cavalry, under the threat of the guns of the supervising team, stepped on the corpses of their companions and rushed to the edge of the ditch under the bullets, less than 50 meters away from the position of the special agent company.

Li Yong looked at the distorted face of the enemy and sneered and shouted: "Fire all the submachine guns." In the sound of Li Yong's order, hundreds of submachine guns from the special agent company fired at once. The soldiers were already in a hurry, and the rifles fired too slowly. After firing a shot, you have to reload and reload it. It’s fun to have a submachine gun. If the shuttle is exhausted, just change the magazine.

The submachine gun in his hand kept barking, and the rapid firepower swallowed up the more than 300 charging infantry in a blink of an eye.

At this time, the last assault force of the enemy in this regiment was completely lost, and the enemy regiment leader was heartbroken, turned around and ran away with dozens of supervisors from the guard company.

Li Yong looked at the fleeing enemy and shouted: "If you want to run, it's not so easy. The reconnaissance platoon, the machine gun platoon, and the artillery platoon will help the instructor deal with the enemies in the grain station. The health team will take care of the wounded. The cooking team will clean up the battlefield. Get on your horse in three, four, or five rows and chase after me."

Instructor Wang Chengde only had a supply platoon and a recruit platoon in his hands. Although the number was no less than that of the enemies at the grain station, their weapons and combat effectiveness were far behind those of other infantry platoons. Li Yong was worried that they would suffer heavy casualties. Let the troops go to support immediately after the end.

The soldiers of the other five infantry platoons rode on their horses and followed Li Yong in pursuit. The hoofs of hundreds of horses knocked on the ground, and they chased after the enemy's rout.

The enemy's regiment leader looked back: "***, this Communist army is too ruthless, and there are only a few dozen of us left."

An enemy officer shouted: "Regimental Commander, don't go back to the regiment headquarters, it's useless to go back, the brothers are all dead, and the remaining personnel in the regiment headquarters have no combat effectiveness."

The enemy regiment leader thought for a while and shouted while running: "Brothers, turn around and run to Qingyang City."

These dozens of enemy cavalry turned their horses and ran in other directions. Seeing that the enemy was running towards Qingyang, Li Yong couldn't catch up with his troops for a while, so he shouted to Li Jiangguo in front: "Jiangguo, don't let us go!" After chasing, run and run, let's go to his regiment headquarters."

A distance of more than ten miles is nothing to the cavalry. After a short time, Li Yong and the others arrived at the enemy's regiment headquarters. When the enemy's left-behind personnel heard the sound of horseshoes, they thought it was their own return, and ran out one by one. To greet them, Li Yong ordered the troops to surround the enemy, and immediately killed those who resisted. The seventy or eighty left behind enemy personnel saw that they were not their own people, but the Eighth Route Army in gray uniforms, all obediently raised their hands and surrendered.

Li Yong immediately ordered the troops to keep a good eye on the prisoners, and then search around the enemy regiment headquarters. Don't let go of anything useful, especially the place where the ammunition is placed. Li Yong and Li Yuming's police went directly to the regiment headquarters. Li Yong entered the enemy's command organization for the first time.

In the past, I saw the Kuomintang headquarters in movies and TV are very rich, but this time when I walked in, I found that it was not the case. The enemy's regiment headquarters is very ordinary, not as awesome as shown in the film and television works, only Two tables, two hanging maps, and a few telephones, and the rest are some daily necessities such as teacups and kettles.

Li Yong felt very disappointed. This group of enemies is too poor, and they are not much better than the Eight Routes in the Northwest. Sometimes they are not as good as the Eight Routes. One is the planning map of the Northwest Region, and the other is the map of the Northern Shaanxi Border Region.

Li Yong asked Sanniu and Xiaocheng to take down the map and take it away, and asked other soldiers to remove a few telephones. Some soldiers asked what is the use of the telephone, and we even fought guerrilla warfare. Li Yong told the soldiers to have a long-term consideration. These telephones are not used by the spy company now, but it does not mean that they will not be used in the future.

Li Yong, who came out of the enemy regiment's headquarters, brought the guard squad to the captives. Li Yong looked around the captives carefully, and found that most of them were old soldiers, all of them with wicked eyebrows.

Li Yong asked the soldiers guarding the captives what they were doing, and the soldiers replied that they were all non-combat soldiers from the cooking squad and supply team, and a few were health soldiers.

Li Yong was overjoyed that the army was short of health soldiers. Although the health team of the secret service company was also called a health team, none of them had received formal training, including the captain Hu Xiaolian, who only knew some herbal medicine, and knew nothing about Western medicine. .

The slightly wounded can be dealt with with herbal medicine, but if there are seriously wounded in the army, they will be blinded. This battle is much more intense than last time. Although Li Yong has not had time to ask about the wounded, there must be seriously wounded. Worrying, I heard that there are health guards, which makes it easier.

Thinking of this, Li Yong shouted: "Health soldiers come out." The prisoners looked at each other, and after a moment of hesitation, seven people came out. Li Yong asked one by one what they were doing, and two of them were doctors. Five are hygienists, and Li Yong thought it would be fine to have two doctors, at least some minor operations can be performed.

At this time, the other soldiers came back, and Li Jiangguo shouted from a long distance: "Company commander, this time is much better than last time. There is a small ammunition depot behind the enemy regiment headquarters. The ammunition in it is replenished. No problem."

Wang Huo came over and said: "Commander, this group of enemies are not rich, they are poor like us before, I looked, most of them are rifle bullets and grenades, submachine guns and machine gun bullets are relatively small, but supplementary Our consumption for this battle should be enough. Wei Gang and the others have some heavy machine guns in their platoon. I haven’t found any shells. I guess this regiment doesn’t have small guns either. , the rest is some war horse equipment, such as saddles and shoes."

Li Yong likes Wang Huhu very much, a bold and careful old soldier, calm and calm in case of troubles, and he is a good seedling to be a commander.

Li Yong said to Wang Huhu and Li Jiangguo: "No one can eat a fat man in one bite, that's enough. Doesn't the enemy still have a grain station? This time we can get back a lot of grain. We can't eat horse meat every day. God, I hiccup and my mouth smells like horsemeat."

In the Northwest battlefield at that time, sometimes food was much more important than ammunition. No matter what kind of troops, no matter how hard you tighten your belt, you still need to eat. Food is combat effectiveness. None of them are fake.

At that time, many combat operations of our army were related to food. For example, the battle in Panlong Town was a tough battle to obtain supplies for the troops. It was very reluctant to fight Panlong with the strength of the Northwest Field Army at that time.
