Yang Zhen was a little angry at the foot of the mountain because of the slow movement of his troops, but Li Mingbo on the mountain was also a little confused and could not deal with the people in front of him. The problem was not with the class he led, but with cooperating with the guard company. On the fighting platoon.
Although the enemy troops in front of them, fully armed in French style, have a reinforced company and are well-equipped, they are not enough for Lee Myung-bak or the security squad he has temporarily converted from special forces. Take it seriously, especially during night battles.
The key issue is that the instructor of the guard company who led the team to block the attack on Dongshan Liang left Yang Zhen's guard team behind when he was giving command. When Li Mingbo came up, he saw this scene, The platoon of the guard company in front was desperately trying to block the superior enemy forces, while his squad, which was armed to the teeth, was just enjoying the fun in the back.
Seeing this situation, Lee Myung-bak didn't say anything, and directly found the instructor who was accurately shot by several speed machines and French rifles from the opposite side, and was pressed tightly behind a big rock. After arriving at the instructor from the back, he suppressed his anger and said, "Instructor, please retreat first and leave this place to us."
Although the instructor suffered heavy casualties in the battle, he had a very stubborn temper. When he saw Li Mingbo coming up, he said angrily: "If you don't protect the chief and the military talents down here, hurry up and pass here. What are you doing here?" I can handle the enemy."
Although Li Mingbo disagreed with the instructor's words, Yang Zhenlin had no choice but to explain repeatedly before arriving in Wannan that he must respect the brothers' troops, especially the leaders of the brothers' troops, after arriving in Wannan. Although he was incorporated into the military security company as soon as he arrived in Wannan, he basically The guards couldn't even control them, but with Yang Zhen's previous explanation, he didn't dare to resist.
Although this instructor has been insisting on not letting Li Mingbo go, the battle situation in front of him is extremely unfavorable to him. The unit he leads is equipped with Hanyang-made rifles and a Belgian-made light machine gun. The equipment of the southern Anhui army is still average, but Compared with the enemy troops in front of them who were all equipped with French rifles and light machine guns, equipped with a large number of speed machines, and even a few grenade launchers, they were far inferior.
The opponents were all veterans, their guns were quite accurate, and their tactical movements were also quite in place. The three light machine guns were arranged in a finished shape and fired three consecutive bursts. As for the soldiers of the guard company, although They are also veterans who are one of the best in a hundred, and their military quality is also quite good, but they are obviously better at guard work, and they are still a little behind in this kind of head-to-head night battle.
After the encounter started, although they barely blocked several tentative attacks from the opponent, the casualties were heavy. After a battle, a full squad was injured and killed, and they paid a lot of casualties, but they could only barely stop it. The opponent charged down the mountain, but there was still a long way to go to completely defeat the incoming enemy.
However, although the instructor suffered heavy casualties, as an old guerrilla, he understood the truth that he must not let the enemy troops in front of him hurt a hair of the military headquarters at the foot of the mountain, so even though he was at a disadvantage in the situation, he still fought to the death. Don't back down and carry it on.
As for the guards around the chief, he knew that they were the last line of defense to protect the chief. If they were all used up on the east mountain ridge, who would protect the chief? The military officials, most of whom did not even have guns, or For those female soldiers in the Confidential and Secretarial Sections, his only thought now was to hold back the enemy troops in front of him and cover the military headquarters' rapid passage.
The instructor was stubborn and refused to let him go. Helpless, Lee Myung-bak went to his subordinates to find another way. After thinking about it for a long time, Lee Myung-bak said to the squad leader: "You will form three groups of two. Combat team, after the snipers knock out the three machine guns for me, you infiltrate into their positions and use burst fire to resolve the battle. Remember, you must use the tactical training you received during the Anti-Japanese War."
"The rest of you, use the night fighting training we have received, follow me around from the side, remember, try not to use guns, use bayonets to solve the problem. I hope that during the more than half a year of your stay in the Central Committee, you have not used the fighting skills you have experienced in the Northeast. I've ruined all the training, and don't forget to catch a few tongues. It's best to be an officer, No. 1 is waiting for you at the bottom of the mountain."
Having said this, Lee Myung-bak looked at the two armies in front of him who were shooting at each other, waved his hands and quickly disappeared into the night with a few of his subordinates. The squad leader, the officer who was left by the instructor to watch them, After disarming, he led three tactical teams and quickly moved forward.
The combat tasks were quickly assigned here, but the battle over there was becoming more and more unfavorable to the guard company. The absolute disadvantage in numbers and the opponent's superb skills and tactics made them more and more stressed. When they saw Yang Zhen's guards After the class came up, they knew that the instructor had become the last line of defense for the military headquarters. Once the military headquarters at the foot of the mountain was lost, there would no longer be any barrier. However, this time the instructor did not say anything.
What he didn't expect was that the performance of the newly transferred young political commissar, a seemingly inconspicuous guard squad, in the battle was an eye-opener for him and his troops. Whether it was weapons or The tactics were all things they had never seen before.
The result of this night battle shocked them even more. Although this night battle was at best a small-scale battle for the entire Wannan Incident, no matter the weapons used by the participants in this battle, It was still a tactic used, but it made the participants in the guard company talk about it for a long time, until the superiors gave a complete silence order.
Of course, this is a thing for another time, but for now, at this time, it is gradually unbearable. Faced with the situation on the battlefield that is in danger of deteriorating at any time, this instructor can no longer act without permission for Lee Myung-bak, his nominal subordinate. I can't take it into consideration anymore.
Seeing the squad leader leading the team from the front to attack according to the task assignment, he saw that compared with before, both the equipment and military uniforms were completely different. The instructor was shocked. Apart from being surprised, he also He is not as stubborn as when he refused before.
When the squad leader and his men arrived at the front line, the instructor first noticed that the military uniforms and weapons they were wearing were completely different from the ones before. The gray cloth military uniforms they wore when they first went up the mountain were replaced by a flowery one. Clothing, and the original military cap on his head was replaced by a steel helmet with the same cloth cover.
As for the weapons on hand, they have also changed from the original portable machine gun to a weapon that is much longer than the portable machine gun, but from the curved magazine under the gun body, it can be seen that it is an automatic firearm. It has a weird appearance and is a weapon that I have never seen before. , and there was a pistol strapped to his leg that he had also never seen before.
To be honest, during the Anti-Japanese War, the pistols and rifles of the Chinese Army were as varied as the rifles. Except for the direct troops of the Central Army, which at least had roughly the same caliber, many troops, even the miscellaneous troops of the Central Army, were in the same unit. It is difficult to equip the small weapons with the same standard and caliber.
This veteran guerrilla who once accompanied the troops on the Long March and was ordered to lead a small unit back to the Central Soviet Area after the Zunyi Conference to convey the spirit of the Central Committee to the remaining troops, stayed in the south and fought the guerrilla war for three years because he could not return to the main force. Faced with this, The pursuit and interception of the rebels in the early days of the Long March, and the three-year encirclement and suppression campaign that followed, can be regarded as well-informed.
At present, the small weapons equipped by the Chinese Communist Party are the largest in the world in terms of calibers, styles, and production locations. As a member of the Communist Party of China, I fought with the Communist Party for several years and participated in the counter-encirclement and suppression campaign, the Long March, and the three-year guerrilla war. Whether it is the direct lineage of the Central Army, the Guangdong Army that was the main force in suppressing the guerrillas, the small-scale armed forces or security groups from various places, or the Gui Army, Hunan Army, and Guizhou Army that were encountered during the Long March, they are all veterans who have fought against them.
I have seen the Hanyang-made rifles of the Central Army and the Hunan Army, the official and imported Belgian and Czech rifles, the British rifles of the Guangdong Army and the 6.8 mm caliber Yuan Nian rifle, the British and Japanese rifles of the Guangxi Army Rifles, old sleeves and Hanyang-made rifles, some off-brand rifles from off-brand troops, as well as self-made rifles with different shapes from the Guizhou Army, Sichuan Army and small warlords from various places.
In addition to rifles, there are also various portable machine guns called flower guns that are imitated or imported from various places. This battle-hardened veteran has seen almost all kinds of small weapons, but for him, those who have been with him The opponents he had fought against, whether they were the best-equipped direct line of the Central Army, the Guangdong Army, or the Gui Army and Hunan Army with average equipment, or the shabby Guizhou Army and miscellaneous troops, he had never seen what they said was automatic. rifles and such pistols.
In addition to the rifles and pistols these people were equipped with, I had never seen them before. There was even a person holding a strange-looking rifle with a scope on the gun body. There was also a rifle with a magazine inserted under the gun body. He was wearing The clothes were even covered with weeds. Lying there, if he didn't move, outsiders wouldn't be able to tell that he was a person.
What surprised him and his troops even more was that the bullet bags these men were wearing were not the traditional cloth bundled bullet bags of the Chinese Army like his own troops, nor were they the standard cowhide box-type ammunition bags used by the Japanese army. It is a small vest made of canvas like the sleeveless mandarin common in summer in northern areas.
There are four magazine pockets on the front and two on the back of the vest, which can accommodate six magazines at a time, and between the front and rear magazine positions, four pistol magazine pockets are placed, and they originally used The portable machine guns issued by the central government were handed over to his subordinates, and the ones they used were neither the Japanese melon grenades nor the long-handled grenades used by the Japanese. The oval grenade was also his first time. see.
As for this so-called personal carrying equipment and the weird-looking firearms in their hands, he had never seen it before, he had never even heard of it. As for the practice of strapping a pistol to the root of the thigh, it was the first time he had seen it. arrive.
After arriving in Wannan, this guard squad had no other special problems except that its body seemed too strong. After completing the change of uniforms, it aroused great curiosity among all the troops on Dongshan Liang before they actually entered the battle. ,
