Just like this time, Su Yingqi followed the Anti-Japanese Alliance back to the base area inside the pass. When a cook from the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei army saw him under Taiyuan City, he directly called him Su Erzongzi. You are such a bitch. You went to the Northeast and took a ride.
I have a car. Grandma is an official, so she doesn’t know me? Why don’t you come down quickly and give me a cigarette? Her words were not only quite disrespectful, but she was also full of curses.
Seeing this greasy cook, Su Yingqi was not only not angry, but also beaming with joy. Not only did he immediately hand over the cigarette obediently, but he also had to light it for others, and after finishing the cigarette, he continued.
After talking for a while, he left.
Without him, the cook was his old platoon leader when he was in the Red Army. Later, because he suffered a head injury and was unwilling to leave the team, he changed his profession and became a cook. When the cook called him, he was so carefree that he didn't feel embarrassed at all. Hearing his own
When the old platoon leader called him, Su Yingqi also waited on him and lit the fire without feeling the slightest embarrassment.
Before leaving, he took the initiative to take all the cigarettes that were stored for him on his body and those of his security guards. Even the cans and compressed biscuits that were distributed to him were stuffed into the hands of the cook. In this era,
People are simple, and old superiors will always be old superiors, far from the strict hierarchical situation of superiors and subordinates later. Not to mention that Su Yingqi became the regiment commander, even if he became the army commander, he would not dare to work in this old man who is now just a cook.
I am embarrassed in front of my superiors.
When he was the squad leader, he taught him how to shoot, and the recruits he brought out, even if his original position was always higher than his, now they are considered equal. But in front of him, he will always be the same recruit. In the words of his old superior,
Still, there will be no hesitation in executing it, not to mention the orders from superiors.
The equipment and personnel needed to prepare for the trip south were all ready-made, and Chen Hanzhang prepared very quickly. There was no farewell ceremony at this time, and the completion of the preparations meant that he was ready to go. At midnight on the day he received Yang Zhen's order, Su Yingqi came
With the necessary personnel and equipment, they crossed the Sanggan River under the cover of escort troops and headed south of the Inner Great Wall.
The regiment in Beiyue District that was being escorted was in too much of a hurry and did not have time to change gear. However, the boss personally transferred a batch of Japanese-made equipment to the troops returning from the Jinsui Military Region and completed the change of gear. Now the entire regiment is uniformly dressed.
The Japanese-made 38 rifles, crooked handles and 92 heavy machine guns are also fully equipped.
Although it is now a small regiment, it appears to be short and capable. The five large companies of the entire regiment are now fully staffed. After replenishing ammunition and equipment, the entire regiment has sufficient weapons and ammunition. Let alone deal with the small forces of the Japanese and puppet troops.
There were no problems, even against a Japanese squadron.
This type of organization is obviously much more flexible to perform escort tasks than the overly large regiment of the Anti-Japanese Alliance. It is short, compact, and flexible in organization. Although there are only five heavy machine guns and no mortar organization, the suppressive firepower is somewhat weak.
Each squad had a light machine gun and each squad had two grenade launchers. However, the squad platoon's firepower could withstand a single confrontation with a Japanese squad. This organization was very suitable for this kind of decentralized escort operation.
In addition, the weapons used by the technical arms of the Anti-Japanese Alliance escorted are not only artillery, chemical defense equipment, and medical and health supplies. Each artilleryman is equipped with an automatic rifle and seven magazines, just like the infantry.
One hundred and forty rounds of ammunition. When necessary, these artillery can be converted into infantry at any time.
For other technical arms, each person also has a submachine gun and four magazines with 120 rounds of ammunition. These personnel, plus the escort troops sent by the Anti-Japanese Alliance, will not be in trouble even if they encounter an infantry regiment of the Japanese army.
They don't have the strength to fight in World War I. You must know that the Anti-Japanese Alliance, whether it is artillery, health troops or chemical defense troops, has completed the most basic shooting and bombing training.
Although infantry tactics are not a specialty, they are not new to them. They have all completed the basic training of infantry. These people can be transformed into infantry at any time if the situation requires it. However, considering the dangers along the way, Su Yingqi still did the worst.
Prepare. Place explosives on all the carried artillery.
Once he really encountered danger and lost the possibility of breaking out, he could only blow up all these artillery pieces. Although Chen Hanzhang had repeatedly reduced the number of escort troops and did not follow the instructions of No. 1, Su Yingqi still felt that he had commanded
This army is too large.
Not only the infantry and cavalry, but also the escort troops of a tank company, including the chemical defense troops, there are thousands of people who need to be escorted. In addition, gas masks and medical equipment are transported for the Taihang and Taiyue troops.
, more than 2,000 pack horses with a large amount of artillery shells and other supplies. In addition to a tank company, there are not many troops, only fifteen vehicles. But this run is also quite earth-shattering. And with this tank company, only
Able to walk on the road.
For such a large target, even if there are troops from the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region covering the route, it needs to travel more than 200 kilometers, so it is difficult to guarantee that it will not be discovered by the Japanese and puppet troops. Once the Japanese and puppet troops mobilize a large number of troops to pursue and intercept it, there will be no interception before then.
, there were pursuers behind, and it was difficult to avoid that the troops would not be divided and encircled. In order to be more careful and prevent these artillery pieces from falling into the hands of the Japanese army in difficult times, Su Yingqi still made some necessary preparations.
When preparing to set off, the map in Su Yingqi's hand was almost torn. This route was no stranger to him. When he was in the 129th Division, whether he went to serve in the Hebei, Shandong and Henan Military Region troops, or went to Yan'an to concentrate on the Northeast,
I have always taken this route. I also followed the 129th Division here and spent some time here.
The mountains and rivers in this area seemed to be in his heart. However, although he was so familiar, the changes in the situation in the past two years, as well as the changes in the enemy situation caused by the current war, also made him quite unsure about this mission.
Especially now that the enemy's situation is uncertain and the entire battle in Northeast Shanxi is clouded.
Seeing Su Yingqi's uncertain face, Chen Hanzhang smiled and said: "Well, I don't have confidence in this operation. If you really don't dare to go, I still have time to change people. Also, if something goes wrong on the road
If there is some accident, your boy's reputation won in these two battles will be ruined."
How could Su Yingqi not understand the meaning of Commander Chen's words? His face turned red, and after carefully folding the map and putting it into his satchel, he did not answer Chen Hanzhang's words. He just took the horse rein from the guard's hand,
After paying a military salute to Chen Hanzhang, he got on his horse and set off with his vanguard with a wave of his hand.
Looking at Su Yingqi's back, Chen Hanzhang smiled slightly and did not feel any displeasure with the group leader's impolite behavior. Although Su Yingqi concealed it very well, Chen Hanzhang liked the unruly character in his heart.
He likes such aggressive cadres, especially military cadres.
After Su Yingqi escorted the personnel, the boss and Chen Hanzhang rushed to find Yang Jicai. There was no way, the main force of the Zuojian detachment disappeared out of thin air, both for the boss who rushed to take charge in northern Shanxi, and Chen Hanzhang who was responsible for commanding the battle in northern Shanxi.
That said, this is quite bad news.
After the disappearance of the Zuojian detachment, the boss is now very worried that Yang Zhen's reminder in the last telegram will come true. Shenchi, Ningwu, and Wuzhai are all the core areas of the northwest Shanxi base area. Not only are they far away from Xingxian,
The Shanxi-Suiyuan Border Region and the headquarters of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Military Region are quite close. The most critical distance from the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningxia Border Region is not very far.
And now one-third of the troops have been transferred to the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningxia Border Region to participate in the battle in the Shanxi-Sui Military Region, and the strength of the troops is quite empty. If the Japanese army really played a black tiger to take out the heart, attack from the east to the west, and invade the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningxia Border Region,
The fun was really great. Not to mention being invaded by most of the Japanese army into northern Shaanxi, even if a squadron entered it, it would be a threat to the security of the central government.
First find the location of the main force of the Zuojian detachment, and closely observe the progress of the main force of the 32nd Division under Taiyuan City, as well as the next direction of action. At the same time, urging the main force of the Jinsui Military Region to speed up their return has become the boss's top priority.
. Its urgency is higher than other things.
The boss has issued an order to the Jinsui Military Region to identify the area where the main force of the left detachment is located at all costs. He also sternly warned the acting commander of the Jinsui Military Region that all Japanese and puppet troops in northwest Shanxi, whether Japanese or puppet,
Mobilize and control everything.
As for finding Yang Jicai, Chen Hanzhang planned to transfer a force to him, and he would command it to enter Guanchuan Mountain to search for the movements of the Japanese army. According to Chen Hanzhang's calculations, the main force of the Zuojian detachment should still be lurking in Guanluishan Mountain.
.Because in this area, only the line from Guanlu Mountain to Luya Mountain has enough space to accommodate thousands of troops of the left detachment.
We need to find the location of this Japanese detachment without alerting the enemy. Under this requirement, we cannot bring too many troops. Moreover, there are not many troops that can be mobilized in the entire northern Shanxi battlefield. This task has been assigned to someone else, Chen Hanzhang.
I'm really worried.
In Chen Hanzhang's mind, Yang Jicai is a brave and careful boy. The most important thing is that he has many clever ideas. When necessary, he is also quite daring to think and act. Although Yang Jicai has been personally transferred to the boss as a consultant by No. 1, he hesitated for a long time.
, Chen Hanzhang decided to leave this task to him.
After briefly explaining the mission, Chen Hanzhang looked at Yang Jicai, who was standing in front of him in a standard military posture, shook his head and said: "Originally, you should have rested for two days this time, but now this mission is very urgent. I won't check it for a day.
Knowing the exact location of this left detachment, the entire northern Shanxi battlefield and the Shanxi-Sui Military Region are like thorns in the back."
"Even the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningsia Border Region, where the central government is located, is under considerable threat. As the number of troops deployed will not be too many, the commander in charge must be bold, careful, dare to think, and dare to act. This candidate
, I thought about it for a long time, and decided that you should go. Just take the reconnaissance squadron you brought with you in Taiyuan, and I will transfer two more reconnaissance companies to you."
"The situation has been explained to you. This is the current situation. I would like to ask you what your thoughts or opinions are on the current situation. This area is located at the northern foot of Guanchuan Mountain and Luya Mountain. Not only are the mountains high and densely forested,
And it is connected to the mountains and rivers of Jinzhong area. Time is tight, and we cannot find a needle in a haystack."
"This operation cannot work without a key direction. So I came to you this time just to talk more with you and listen to your analysis and judgment. Because we don't have so much time to waste on the northwestern Shanxi
In the mountains. Especially as a commander, you don't have a focused direction to find, so you can only waste a lot of time and energy."
"The most important thing is that we don't have much time left for the entire war situation. Now before the situation is completely clear, we must find them and kill them in the shortest possible time to ensure the security of the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningxia Border Region.
Absolutely safe. Remember, this is a personal order from No. 1."
