The beacon of youth

The soldiers of the Erjiang State Peace Battalion were locked up by the enemy when they were in a ditch on the road. The random shooting of machine guns caused a certain amount of trouble for the first battalion. Quickly kill the enemy's machine gun position.Li Jiangguo saw that the enemy's machine gun positions had been eliminated, and he led the soldiers into the ditch like a gust of wind.

After inserting it, the main force of the first battalion continued to move forward.Two platoons of soldiers were used to assault each side of the enemy's position, submachine guns and grenades kept firing, it was very dark, and it was hard to see what target.Li Jiangguo told the soldiers of the two platoons that it's all right, since we're the only ones here anyway.The rest of the battalion's troops were the enemy, and Xiao Xiao was not afraid of any accidental injury. He rushed fiercely, charged more than 100 meters to both sides, and then withdrew immediately.

Since the battalion commander had an order, he carried it out. The soldiers of the two platoons fought fiercely to both sides of the position for a while and then retreated quickly, regardless of the target.Say hello to the dead, and leave after the fight. Li Jiangguo saw that the troops had all withdrawn, and immediately took one with him.The soldiers of the battalion moved towards the Great North.

They are gone, but the enemies here are in a mess.I don't know how many eight groups came to attack, and they kept beating each other, and the more they fought, the more chaotic. Originally, the number of troops was very chaotic, and it was dark, which made it even more chaotic.I couldn't figure out what was going on, so I had to use machine gun fire to blockade and shoot.

Hearing the more and more intensive gunshots, Li Jiangguo excitedly led the soldiers to evacuate quickly, and let them fight each other. The harder the fight, the better. The harder the fight, the greater the casualties. The pressure can be reduced, and the soldiers trot.Gradually the gunshots got away from them.

Li Jiangguo led the soldiers to carry out two more raids after leaving. At dawn, they quietly entered a narrow and long ditch in the north of Chakou Mountain. All the leewards slept.

After tossing all night, the soldiers slept soundly, which shows the benefits of having equipment. The soldiers of the independent regiment each have a military blanket.Everyone was lying back to back in the dry grass half a person's height wrapped in army blankets.Although the weather is very cold, the wind can’t blow in the ditch, and the grass can also play a certain role in keeping warm, and it can withstand it even when wrapped in a military blanket. There is no way to cook, and smoke must be emitted when a fire is made. Soldiers Each of them fell asleep after eating some dry food and drinking some water.

Everyone else fell asleep, only Li Jiangguo, the battalion commander, still didn't feel sleepy at all, he knew he was with one.The soldiers of the battalion are surrounded by tens of thousands of enemies, and they may be made dumplings at all times.How can the chief military officer of the battalion lead the soldiers to complete the tasks assigned by the head of the regiment and the political commissar, and bring the soldiers back safely.

The burden on his shoulders made Li Jiangguo unable to sleep, and his spirit was in a state of excitement. When he was with the leader, he didn't have to think about anything. What the hell, the regiment leader and the political commissar are supporting us when the sky is falling, so we just have to concentrate on fighting, but not now.Anything with a larger needle tip should be taken into consideration.Be careful, be careful, be more careful.Be careful, be careful.

They all say that they have a lot of minds, not only the soldiers say so.Even the head of the regiment and the political commissar said the same thing. This time, he must have considered this aspect in letting his first battalion complete such a task.But do you really have too many eyes?How can we maximize the completion of the tasks assigned by the Youth League Party Committee?Not only to reduce the pressure on the frontal position, but also to minimize casualties.

In Li Jiangguo's thoughts, the sky was bright again. As soon as the sky saw light, Liu Kan, the No. 20 Ninth Army Commander and Corps Commander of the Kuomintang, got up impatiently from the marching bed.

Gunshots continued throughout the night, and the small troops of the Eighth Route Army came in like monkey monkeys making a big fuss. Although Liu Kan's own 29th Army was quiet, he didn't sleep well.Woke up dizzy in the morning.

Many officers were already busy in the big tent of the command post. Liu Qin, who had just had a meal, lay down in front of the map on the table and kept making gestures. An officer came to Liu Kan and said:

"Military seat, the [-]th Division has already wasted a day yesterday. Our time is precious and we cannot afford to waste it. The Northwest Field Army of the Communist Army is still hanging behind us. It is very dangerous for the corps to be blocked here. Let this fork mountain block our way."

Liu Kan, who was lying on the map, straightened up and threw the pencil on the table: "What do you say? According to the battle report of the [-]th Division, the mountain must be the main force of the Northwest Communist Army. Yesterday, the [-]th Division attacked all day. The terrain here is too narrow, and our large troops can't use it, even if we know that the Communist army on the mountain is not many and powerful, we can't use it."

The officer said: "Army, the [-]th Division has been the vanguard of the corps since it broke through the siege. The communist army along the way... don't rely on them to break through. Local stubbornness and guerrillas, but the energy of the [-]th Division is limited after all."

Liu Kan saw this.The officer went around and didn't talk about the topic, so he said impatiently: "My brother, just say what you want to say, don't always go around in circles in extraordinary times."

The officer cursed inwardly, your surname Liu can go around in circles better than anyone else, now you know that you are talking about me, but you dare not say that: "Army seat, I mean that the Ninety Division is already at the end of its strength, and there is no one to attack. It's time for our 29th Army to move forward."

Ji Kan: "You mean to let Yan Ming's 29th Division withdraw. Instead, our [-]th Army will attack the Communist Army's positions?"

The officer said: "Sir, we are very pressed for time. Behind the 29th Division is our [-]th Army. Could it be that those divisions are allowed to attack the Communist Army by overtaking our team? Are you willing to issue this order? Even It was you who gave the order, how will other troops react? Can they risk their lives to fight with the communist army? It is very likely that they soaked mushrooms, so that the communist army behind will get closer and closer, we will You will be in danger of being flanked by the Communist army."

Liu Kan walked around the table a few times: "It seems that the Northwest Communist Army still hasn't lost its determination to eat us up. Peng Dehuai's ambition is not small. He attacked us frantically in Yichuan for two days and two nights, and now he is attacking us again in Yichuan. There is an army here, trying to use the favorable terrain to encircle our army. Is Liu Kan such a waste? The communist army has already used all its energy in Yichuan, what else can there be here now? The main force? Even if the main force of the communist army is on the mountain, there are not many of them. Hmph."

The officer beside him carefully asked: "Sir, what do you mean?"

Liu Kan: "Your opinion is very reasonable. Let Yan Ming's 27th Division withdraw, rest and stand by, and order the [-]th Division of the headquarters and the troops of the Yue [-]th Division. Eat in advance, and after the meal, carry out a resolute attack on the fork position of the Communist Army. , Tell all the officers leading the team that this is an extraordinary period, and if there is anyone who shrinks back, no matter how high his rank is, he will be punished on the spot. Don't blame me, Liu Kan, for not being sympathetic."

After breakfast, the reorganized No. 20 Ninth Army quickly passed the strict Ninth Division and began to prepare to attack the Chakou position.The officers and soldiers of the 29th Division were a little surprised. The [-]th Army always puts the preservation of strength as the first priority. The old fox Liu Kan always puts his troops behind the attacking troops.The dirty work and exhausting work are all done by other troops. What happened today?Seeing this posture, we want our [-]th Division to withdraw and let them attack the communist army?Is the sun coming out from the west?

Not to mention what the soldiers thought, some middle and senior officers of the 29th Division were also a little puzzled.An officer asked Yan Ming: "Master, what happened to the [-]th Army today? Replace us and let them attack. This is not Liu Kan's character."

Yan Ming: "Brother, you only know one thing and don't know the other. Everyone wants to preserve their strength, let alone the 29th Army. Don't I, Yan Ming, not want to preserve our strength? But now it has come to an extraordinary period. What does it mean for an army to stop us? Obviously, the communist army has not given up its determination to eat us, and wants to use this army to stop us and consume a lot of our strength, and then let the main force of the communist army encircle us."

"The division seat means that the 29th Army wants to go all out?"

Yan Ming: "It's impossible not to work hard. Our [-]th Division has been working hard for so long, and it's time for them to make money. Otherwise, how can we explain to the Commissioner and Commander Hu? If you hesitate any longer, everyone will have to explain. it's here."

Just as the 29th Army was preparing to attack our army's position at Chakou, an officer ran into the command post and reported: "Report to the military seat, our artillery was attacked by a small unit of the Communist Army last night and suffered heavy losses."

After Zhang Jinsong's reconnaissance battalion was released, the platoons were divided into parts and scattered activities. When they left, each platoon was equipped with a wireless walkie-talkie, so that the connection between the platoon and the platoon, and between the platoon and the battalion headquarters was even easier. Unobstructed, at dawn everyone heard the sound of shelling from the Chakou position. Zhang Jinsong took all the cadres above the battalion squad to find a hidden mountain depression for a meeting.

Zhang Jinsong: "Everyone heard the sound of artillery. This is the enemy's official attack on our regiment's defensive position. Everyone knows the mission. I don't need to say more. The artillery attack on our main position is the Reorganized No.90 Division. Today, the artillery will rest during the day and go out at night. The platoons will attack and harass the enemy artillery following the Ninth Division. The artillery can not fire.
