When the staff officer heard the scolding of the chief of staff, he did not dare to delay any longer. He looked at the political commissar, who looked somewhat gloomy after hearing what the chief of staff said, and hurriedly ran to convey the order. Although he went home to find
"My wife sucks milk" was an angry comment made by the regiment leader and chief of staff. Our regiment was made up of bachelors from top to bottom, and even if they wanted to go home and find a wife, there would be no place to look for them.
But if the opportunity is really missed due to slow action, this regiment commander is really unforgiving. He will scold his mother when he gets angry, and may even kill someone. In the previous battle, the 26th Regiment was not behind.
To be a substitute is to pick up some leftovers left over from other people's meals. The leader's face was so angry that even Changbai Mountain felt inferior.
This time, the superior finally assigned an important task. If the fighter was delayed due to slow movement, the commander might have killed someone directly. This combat consultant who had been following He Fangnen for several months knew He Fanggen's temperament quite well.
.
Looking at the back of the staff officer conveying the order, Cao Hui, who was almost ignored, was really angry at first. That guy disrespected himself as a political commissar, which was not too difficult to accept. After all, he had not been here long, and the relationship between the two of them was
He wasn't too familiar with it yet. But even his subordinates said this, which was really hard for him to accept.
You must know that when he was in the pass, he also served as a military officer. Although he never served as a regiment commander, he has always been a military cadre since the 18th Army crossed the Yellow River eastward to fight the war. In terms of anger, he is no better than He Fangren.
He didn't know where to go. But when he remembered what the divisional political commissar who was also transferred from Guan Nei talked to him before he took office, Cao Hui calmed down again.
Yes, these people all crawled out of the dead on the battlefield with swords and bullets. In the early years, the environment of the Northeast Anti-Japanese Alliance was even worse than during the Long March, and the sacrifices were much greater. During the Long March,
Although the conditions were difficult, with a battle almost every day, it was still better than the Anti-Japanese Alliance.
At least it won't be under conditions of more than 30 degrees below zero, without cotton clothes and food. For a mouthful of food, you have to trade your life and blood skills. During the more than half a year since I was transferred to Northeast China, although I have been studying in the military training team,
This winter in Northern Manchuria, the severe cold of dozens of degrees below zero and the heavy snow in the sky left a deep impression on him. Without cotton-padded clothes, he would not be able to survive here at all.
The Anti-Japanese Alliance has gone from being so weak to what it is today, not just by words, but by real guns and live ammunition and the Japanese army. If you don't have strong abilities, it's normal to be looked down upon by these people. How will you carry out your work after you join the army?
It all depends on your true ability and level. Without certain working ability and the army cannot convince you, it is simply impossible to serve as the political chief of a regiment here.
Thinking of this, Cao Hui finally suppressed the anger in his heart. Whether he has the ability to serve as the political commissar of this regiment, he should go to the battlefield to speak. Arguing now has no effect at all. What can truly convince people is not to use power to suppress others.
, and your true strength is whether it is a mule or a horse, you will know it by pulling it out for a walk.
After receiving the report that the troops outside had been assembled, Cao Hui, who was still very angry, grabbed the military cap on the table and turned around and walked out of the regiment headquarters. When he walked to the two battalions that had been lined up, he took a look
The soldier in front of him did not accept the helmet handed over by the guard beside him, but simply said calmly: "You don't need me to tell you what situation our 26th Regiment has been in since the beginning of the campaign."
"They are fighting in full swing, but we have been sitting on the sidelines. Apart from picking up trivial battles to fight in the background, our group has not been able to win any serious battles until now. We are not like the main force now.
The regiment has become a bystander and a free audience. Don't you feel that this is a shame? Is it a shame for our 26th regiment?"
"Our 26th Regiment has always been a main force regiment, but what have we done since the battle started? Even things like cleaning the battlefield that even the county brigade is not willing to do have been left to us.
.This is not our glory, but our shame."
"Now our superiors have given us a chance to stand up. Whether we can stand upright in front of our superiors and fraternal troops in the future depends on today's battle. A dog travels a thousand miles to eat shit, and a wolf travels a thousand miles to eat meat. Our twenty-sixth regiment
Whether we are a wolf or a dog from now on depends on our performance today."
"Although the distance from here to Taolaizhao is less than 20 kilometers, our superiors require us to reach the front line of Taolaizhao within four hours. Even if we are exhausted today and the whole army is vomiting blood, we still have to follow my instructions.
Arrive at the designated area at the designated time."
"First battalion commander, you personally lead a company as the vanguard of the entire army. You all open the bayonets for me and unscrew the caps of grenades. If you encounter any kid who blocks the attack, you will fight me directly without asking for instructions. The whole army
If you follow a company as a company, even if you vomit blood while running, you still have to run to me within the specified time."
After saying that, Cao Hui turned around and faced the guard who was leading his mount beside him. He said to the guard who was following him from the pass: "I won't ride a horse today. I, as a political commissar, will run as many kilometers as you want. You kid will just lead me."
Take my horse and yours and follow the troops behind. If there is a soldier who cannot run, let him mount his horse."
After explaining his guards, Cao Hui waved his hand and said to the neatly arranged cadres and soldiers in front of him: "There is nothing to say. Again, this battle represents the honor of our 26th Regiment. What can we do in the future?"
You can't stand upright in front of your superiors, just look at this battle. The whole army sets off immediately, and the only target is Tao Laizhao."
With a wave of Cao Hui's hand, the commander of the first battalion, who was ordered to personally lead the first company to clear the way for the entire army, did not dare to delay. He took the submachine gun handed over by the correspondent and pulled the bolt, then waved his hand and galloped southward with the first company.
After the first company set off, Cao Hui led the follow-up troops to follow immediately without any hesitation.
Looking at the back of Cao Hui leading the team to set off, and the morale of the troops stirred up by his few words, the regiment chief of staff behind him, who was busy gathering artillery and telephone lines, shook his head and muttered something about the new political commissar.
After a certain level of proficiency, I turned around and got busy with other things.
It's not that he, like He Fangnen, looks down on the new political commissar, but for him, as the chief of staff and deputy to the chief military officer, he understands the importance of time on the battlefield. If time is wasted due to hesitation, the Japanese army can steal it.
Taking the initiative is called a crime. Especially now that he is used to He Fangren's vigorous and resolute behavior, he despises procrastination and hesitation.
The political commissar was a little hesitant. As the chief of staff, he couldn't hesitate. On the battlefield, time is life. Although the regiment leader told the troops in Xin'an to be under the unified command of the political commissar, at this time, he could not care less about the suspicion of overstepping. At this time,
This is not the time to hesitate. If you act a minute earlier, the troops will pay less.
It's just that for him, there is no time to evaluate the new political commissar at this moment. The troops moved to the defense, and his regiment chief of staff was the busiest person. The regiment commander and the political commissar both left with the troops. The remaining artillery and communications
, the medical and other units gathered together, and the transfer of the wounded were all left to him.
Although he also wanted to be a hands-off boss like the regiment leader and lead troops to fight on the front line, unfortunately, his position and the current situation of the 26th Regiment meant that he could only think about this idea. There was no way that the regiment leader and the political commissar could act like this.
If we leave, the entire regiment headquarters will be empty. As the chief of staff, he can only stay and do follow-up work.
In particular, all the current regimental-level positions of the 26th Regiment are not equipped with deputy positions. Even the deputy regiment commander has not yet been in place. There are two deputy regimental cadres, the director of the regiment's political office and the director of the logistics department, one of whom is inspecting on the front line.
While working, I was injured by Japanese artillery shrapnel. Although it was nothing serious, I was unable to work for a short period of time.
One was even more unlucky. He was seriously injured when his mount stepped on an infantry mine planted by the Japanese army in Yushu. The Japanese army position that had been captured by the vanguard had obviously been cleared of mines. It was cleared again afterwards.
At that moment, he discovered that the only fish that had slipped through the entire formation was stepped on by his mount.
With no deputy commander, the director of the political department and the director of the logistics department, the burden on him as chief of staff of the regiment is even greater. Now he is called by his subordinates to be in charge of astronomy and geography, and in charge of trivial matters.
Under this situation, it was almost impossible for him to rush to the front in a short time. Especially when he had to wait for new troops to be transferred from the headquarters, he could only stay in Xin'an honestly.
The chief of staff was very dissatisfied that he could not go to the front line to command the battle in person, but Cao Hui, who had already led the team to set off, was also somewhat stressed. The success or failure of this battle was not only related to whether the 26th Regiment could make a turnaround.
It is more related to whether he, the political commissar of the regiment, can stand in the 26th regiment.
Although after the Seventh Division seized the Sancha River and completed the breakthrough on the flank of the 28th Division, there were no large regular Japanese field troops in the entire south of the Sancha River up to the Songhua River. However, when the Seventh Division seized the Sancha River, Xin'an, and Si
At the Majia line, many small groups of Japanese troops were scattered. After the westward retreat route to meet the main division was cut off, they all withdrew southward towards Taolaizhao. They tried to rely on the existing positions there to hold on and wait.
Reinforcement or retreat south across the Songhua River to the territory of Dehui.
Although the line from Sancha River to Taolaizhao no longer has a large number of regular field divisions of the Eastern Army. However, there are still a large number of railway security forces along the Zhongchang Railway south of the Sancha River. And this
On the road, there were also a large number of scattered stragglers from the Japanese 28th Division.
Therefore, the southward movement of the 26th Regiment, which is divided into two groups, does not mean that their battle progress will be affected. There are not many regular Japanese troops south of the Sancha River. And the remaining main field forces of the Japanese army have shrunk.
It was smooth sailing with Tao Laizhao.
In particular, the current blocking of the Manchuria Railway Police Force, which is responsible for guarding the line from Sanchahe to Taolaizhao, has made the progress of the 1st and 3rd Battalions of the 26th Regiment currently going very difficult. I didn’t know that this puppet Manchukuo force had actually arrived early.
Cao Hui, who had already been replaced by the Kwantung Army, did not expect that the combat effectiveness of this puppet army would be so strong. Compared with the puppet army in the Guan, the combat effectiveness was almost as high as in the sky and on the ground.
