"Captain, this time is different."
Wang Ye said: "This time the devils will definitely counterattack frantically. Even if they can't destroy our independent regiment, they will definitely try to destroy the weapons and ammunition captured by us."
"The reason for it is also very simple."
"Once these weapons and equipment fall into the hands of our independent regiment."
"All the strongholds, counties and even Anhua City in Northwest Shanxi are the meat of our mouths!"
"This is true." Li Yunlong said, "With these dozens of cannons and so many shells, the entire counties and even Anhua City, the stronghold in Northwest Shanxi, are really fat on the lips of our independent regiment."
Speaking of this, he laughed and said, "We can eat whenever we want."
Wang Ye said solemnly: "So, the devils will definitely fight back at any cost. In addition to the two infantry brigades that went out, they may also transfer all the devils and puppet troops scattered in various strongholds. These seventy or eighty The total number of devils in the stronghold is 8000 people, plus the two brigades playing forwards, it is enough to eat us!"
Hearing this, Xing Zhiguo, Zhao Gang and several battalion commanders were no longer calm for a while.
They originally thought that after winning this battle, the anti-sweeping campaign would be over.
As a result, Wang Ye found out that the current situation is still almost endless.
If this is a mistake, it is not a problem of anticlimax, and it might turn victory into defeat.
"What can we do?" Xing Zhiguo said, "Our independent regiment has just finished a big battle. Although the battle was won, the troops suffered heavy casualties, and the soldiers are also very tired. If we only fight against two The infantry brigade is not a big problem, but if you fight tens of thousands of devils, it will be a big problem!"
In fact, Xing Zhiguo didn't get to the point.
Casualties, exhaustion are not the most critical.
The most important thing is that the cadres and fighters of the independent regiment all think that after the battle is over, the anti-mopping up is over, so they have relaxed psychologically.
This kind of mental laxity is the most troublesome.
It's like a clockwork that's hard to tighten up after it's unwound.
"Old Li." Zhao Gang said anxiously, "Or just retreat into the Fuliang Mountain Fortress? People matter!"
"Then how can it work, the battlefield hasn't been cleaned yet." Li Yunlong said, "If the people have withdrawn, what should we do if they are captured?"
"Let the soldiers move as much as possible." Xing Zhiguo said, "We count as much as we can move, and destroy everything that is too late to move."
"That won't work." Li Yunlong said, "The seized weapons and ammunition can't even give up a single cannon or shell. These are all bought by brothers in exchange for their lives."
Zhao Gang said anxiously: "But the problem is that the devils are about to counterattack in a big way."
Xing Zhiguo said: "Yes, we will never be able to fight hard."
Li Yunlong said: "Then you can't give up the capture, this matter is not discussed!"
"Stop arguing!" Wang Ye couldn't hold back, and said with a dark face, "Now is not the time to quarrel!"
After saying this, Wang Ye directly gave orders to Zhang Dabiao, Wang Huaibao, Sun Bin, and Shen Quan.
"Battlemaster Zhang, you lead all the soldiers in the first battalion who can participate in the battle, hurry up to replenish the ammunition, and then move two kilometers towards Qingyun Town to build fortifications, and meet the devil reinforcements coming from Qingyun Town."
"Regimental Commander Cao has already led the artillery to build an artillery position there."
"With artillery fire support, at least there should be no major problems before dawn."
"Yes!" Zhang Dabiao agreed, and immediately returned to the rest area of the first battalion to assemble the troops.
However, judging from the reactions of the soldiers, there was obviously a problem, and most of them were surprised.
"Battalion Commander Wang." Wang Ye turned his gaze to Wang Huaibao and continued, "Lead all the soldiers of the Second Battalion who can take part in the battle to build fortifications two kilometers away from Lijia Town. Don't forget to replenish the ammunition."
"Yes!" Wang Huaibao agreed, and immediately went to reorganize the troops.
Although the first battalion had artillery support, the second battalion did not, but Wang Huaibao didn't ask any more questions.
Watching Wang Huaibao rectify the troops of the Second Battalion there, Zhao Gang said: "Xiao Wang, since we know that the two infantry brigades of the devil will return from the same way, can't we organize an ambush in advance?"
"It's too late." Wang Ye shook his head and said, "If the devil's two infantry brigades desperately return for help, then they are at most five or six kilometers away from the Fuliangshan Fortress."
"The rapid march will take less than half an hour."
"At this time, there is no way to organize an ambush."
Speaking of this meal, he said again: "It's too late to find an ambush point."
Zhao Gang sighed when he heard the words, and asked again: "Then what should we do next?"
"What should we do next?" Li Yunlong said, "Of course it is to clean up the battlefield as soon as possible."
"Be sure to transfer all weapons, equipment and ammunition into the fortress before dawn!"
"Otherwise, as soon as the devil's bomber arrives at dawn, and the bomb is dropped, the ducks that reach their mouths will really fly. Then our independent group will really become a joke."
Wang Ye said: "Let the puppet prisoners of war also come and move."
"Oh, that's right." Zhao Gang nodded suddenly.
"I forgot about the three thousand prisoners of the puppet army."
Speaking of this meal, Zhao Gang said again: "I'm going to organize the prisoners of the puppet army, and the guard company will follow me!"
"Old Li, Xiao Wang, I will lead people to clean up the battlefield." After Xing Zhiguo finished speaking, he said, "Comrades from the team directly under the regiment, the third battalion, and the county brigade, all follow me."
But Wang Ye suddenly said: "Sanying stay!"
Xing Zhiguo was stunned for a moment, and immediately said: "The third camp stays."
Just as he was about to turn around and leave, Sun Bin stayed behind with a few company commanders.
Wang Ye said to Yang Hu and Feng Xianghe again: "Butcher, rat, quickly fill up the fuel tanks of tanks and armored vehicles, and provide enough ammunition."
"Yes!" The two of them responded immediately, turned around and left in a hurry.
Wang Ye said to Sun Bin again: "Battalion Commander Sun, hurry up and replenish your ammunition."
"Yes!" Sun Bin responded, then turned to the company commanders and said, "Hurry up and settle the wounded, and then go to the supply camp to replenish ammunition, so fucking hurry up!"
Watching Sun Bin and several company commanders turn and leave,
Li Yunlong said: "Xiao Wang, what kind of medicine do you sell in this gourd?"
"There are only two battalions of devils. Isn't the first battalion and the second battalion enough to fight against? How about leaving the third battalion?"
"You boy, don't you want to swallow the two infantry brigades of the devil in one bite? Let me tell you, the worst thing to do in war is to be greedy, and you will lose your teeth if you don't eat the meat."
What Li Yunlong meant was that it was more than enough to fight against two battalions.
If you still want to fight a battle of annihilation, it will be far beyond the tolerance limit of the independent regiment.
The Independence Regiment had just fought a decisive battle, not to mention the casualties of many soldiers, and the physical exertion was also extremely high, even the fine steel made of iron could not stand up to continuous fighting.
It is a taboo for military strategists to use a tired army to meet the enemy's elite army!
Li Yunlong was worried that Wang Ye would drift away after commanding a large-scale annihilation battle, and he didn't know where he was, so he couldn't help but want to beat this young man.
But Wang Ye is such a superficial person?
Wang Ye said: "Commander, what are you thinking?"
"These two infantry brigades are the real elite devils."
"If it's at its peak state, our independent regiment might barely be able to gnaw off the two infantry brigades of the Devil, but in the current state, it can't be gnawed at all."
Li Yunlong said: "Then what do you mean by letting Sanying stay?"
Wang Ye lowered his voice and said, "Just in case."
"Just in case?" Li Yunlong's expression turned serious, and he said in a deep voice, "What in case?"
"I'm afraid the devils will mess with us." Wang Ye said in a deep voice, "Then we'll be in big trouble."
"Disrupt the war?!" Li Yunlong also reacted immediately after hearing the words, gasped and said, "Oops, the devils will probably disrupt the war with us!"
"Xiao Wang, think about it. Except for the two infantry brigades that came back to help, the remaining six or seven thousand devils are scattered among seventy or eighty strongholds. The distance between these strongholds and Fuliang Mountain varies, and the devils also There is no time to gather at all, so the time to arrive at the Fuliang Mountain battlefield must be early or late."
"Isn't that a mess?"
"Oops, this is really bad."
Wei Dayong suddenly interjected: "Commander, what's so terrible about disrupting the battle?"
"You know what a fart." Wang Ye said angrily, "Of course the veterans of our independent regiment are not afraid of disrupting the battle, but the problem is that the number of veterans is less than [-]. Excluding those who died and were injured in the battle just now, at most they still There are thousands of people left, and the rest are militiamen who have just been added to the main force, if they really fight against the devils, they will suffer a lot!"
Regardless of combat experience or marksmanship, these militiamen are far from enough to compete with the devil's infantry.
Wei Dayong curled his lips and said, "I don't believe it. With cannons, tanks and armored vehicles, you can't beat devils."
"If you say you don't understand, you really don't understand." Li Yunlong scolded, "Tanks, cannons and armored vehicles are only effective in positional warfare, and they are useless in disrupting battles."
Wang Ye said: "Tanks and armored vehicles are still useful in disrupting wars, but artillery is really useless."
"That can't be given up casually." Li Yunlong waved his hand, "Especially those thirty or forty field howitzers must be dragged back to the fortress to hide!"
Wang Ye said, "Commander, there are not as many as thirty or forty schools."
"How come?" Li Yunlong said, "Didn't you say that there are four artillery brigades, and each brigade has twelve cannons, so the total is 48 pieces?"
After a pause, Li Yunlong said again: "By the way, there is still a brigade equipped with 105 caliber field guns. Damn, this thing is incredible. It blows up a large area! If our independent regiment has these guns, the combat effectiveness will be greatly improved." It can be improved a lot, and it is like playing with the devil's stronghold, the gun tower or even the county town."
Wang Ye sighed and said: "Commander, I have counted just now, only twelve 75-type 36 field guns are intact, and the remaining 105 guns, including the twelve [-]mm caliber field howitzers It was blown up by the devils, and it was so completely destroyed that it was basically worthless for maintenance.”
"What?" Li Yunlong's expression fell upon hearing this.
In an instant, Li Yunlong felt like a duck was flying again.
Once in a bad mood, Li Yunlong would habitually scold others, scolding whomever he caught.
Now there is only Wang Ye in front of him, so he scolded Wang Ye when he caught him: "Xiao Wang, what are you doing with your bastard? Om? Can't you move faster?"
"You know that the devils will destroy their weapons and ammunition first when the situation is not good, but you don't know how to stop them?"
"Look at me, the devils wanted to destroy the ammunition in the supply camp, but I didn't give them a chance, and killed them before the devils destroyed the supplies."
What Li Yunlong said was pure nonsense.
The reason why the devils didn't have time to destroy all the ammunition in the supply camp was not because the independent regiment moved quickly, but because the security measures in the supply camp were too good.
Since the age of gunpowder, the preservation of ammunition has been a problem.
Especially the storage of ammunition on the battlefield requires extreme care.
Otherwise, the enemy army only needs to shoot a shell, or accidentally make a spark, which is very likely to trigger a series of explosions in the entire ammunition depot. It is not a matter of loss, or the entire camp may be ruined.
Therefore, materials such as oil, shells, and bullets are stored in a scattered manner.
The supply unit of the Second Guards Division added an additional layer of insurance.
It is to hollow out the bottom of dozens of loess bags in the baggage camp and turn them into hundreds of small material warehouses, which are used to store bullets, shells, medicines and oil.
Although the team directly under the independent regiment led by Li Yunlong advanced quickly, they were still unable to completely stop the devils. However, the devils first destroyed medicines and oil, because the devils felt that oil and medicines were more valuable than bullets and shells, and they had just destroyed half of them. , the team directly under the independent regiment arrived.
But Wang Ye didn't know this.
So there is no way to refute it for a while.
Li Yunlong scolded Wang Ye head and face, and then he felt better.
After a pause, Li Yunlong said again: "Then the last twelve remaining 75 field guns can't have any accidents. How about we dig a few big holes first and bury these twelve cannons?"
Digging holes and burying guns is a routine operation for the Eighth Route Army.
Many times when troops were forced to move, or when the shells ran out, the Eighth Route Army would dig holes and bury them, and then dug them out when they came back later or captured more shells.
"There's no rush." Wang Ye shook his head and said, "We'll talk after this battle is over."
"That won't work." Li Yunlong said anxiously, "It will be too late after the fight."
"In time." Wang Ye said, "Actually, these twelve 75 field guns are easy to conceal."
"It's easy?" Li Yunlong asked in amazement, "How easy is it? Where are you going to hide these twelve cannons?"
Wang Ye pointed at the fortress and said, "It's hidden in the tunnel entrances of the fortress. Although the devils have blown up all sixteen tunnel entrances, we can easily dig through them again."
"It's time to widen it a little bit,"
"Reinforce it with wood and stone."
"It's enough to hide a 75 field gun."
"At that time, not only will we be able to avoid the bombing of the devil bombers,"
"You can also use these twelve 75 field guns as fortress guns."
"From now on, the devils will never try to storm the Fuliangshan Fortress again."
