This long-distance and roundabout battle made Yi Liangpin very emotional about the current communication methods of the troops. You must know that in the Red Army, only one army had one radio station. As for the divisions and below, including the divisions, everyone had access to telephones. Very rarely, except for the main divisions of the main forces of the front army, which have radio stations, no matter which front army, most of the time rely on cavalry correspondents or even foot correspondents to communicate back and forth.
Because communication methods are backward, Yi Liangpin can easily pick up examples of delayed fighter planes due to the sacrifice of correspondents or other reasons during battles with his eyes closed. In order to ensure that wartime orders can be accurately conveyed, the Fourth Front Army of the Red Army used to have A rule that seems almost unkind: "If the correspondent fails to deliver the order within the designated time, he will be shot."
Even if it is reorganized into the Eighteenth Group Army, only those at the brigade level will have radio stations. This has to be the main brigade and division. The newly established brigades have not yet been established. When Yi Liangpin was in the Red Army, he only had radio stations at the brigade level several times because of the communications personnel who conveyed orders. Sacrifice or disappear without being able to receive orders.
Altogether, there were dozens of 15-watt and 5-watt radio stations that were affected by the defeat in the Shanxi battle. With a large amount of supplies unable to be transported, the always stingy King of Shanxi had no choice but to give generous light. At that time, he always felt that he had lost his temper. The cadres of the 18th Army who had made a fortune only found out after being transferred to the Northeast that they could not get rid of what they had.
Originally, it was already wealthy compared to the time of the Red Army, but when I got here, I discovered that one regiment here had one 15-watt Japanese-style radio station and five 5-watt radio stations, and each battalion was equipped with one during war. The five-watt Type 94 shortwave radio was later gradually issued with two-watt battalion and regiment-level communications, dual-purpose radios, and walkie-talkies used by company-level troops.
Until now, each battalion has a five-watt shortwave radio, a two-watt radio, and a dual-purpose radio. The regiment has a fifteen-watt radio and a five-watt radio, a two-watt so-called 71 type radio, and two radios. There are three machines, while the brigade level consists of one 50-watt radio, two 15-watt radios, 15-watt radios, two dual-purpose radios, three five-watt radios and three 71-type radios. , two-watt walkie-talkies are directly equipped to the company level.
Each brigade can directly communicate with the headquarters, and the subordinates can directly communicate with the company level. The battalion level can directly call the regiment level during wartime. If necessary, it can even directly call the brigade level artillery support, and even each company level. , you can directly call superior fire support.
This kind of communication specification does not have this standard, let alone the 18th Group Army, which is famous for its hard work, and the Kuomintang Central Army, which has always been known for its richness and wealth among various factions in the country, does not have this standard. You must know that even the Kuomintang Central Army only has regiment-level In wartime, a five-watt tactical radio can be equipped.
Moreover, all of them are radio stations that can only perform broadcast services. There are no radio stations that can be used to communicate directly like a telephone. The most important thing is that all these communication equipment are produced by ourselves. Even if they are damaged, Will be replenished soon.
Yi Liangpin has been transferred here for a long time. After experiencing this military region's communication equipment replacement, he is no longer surprised. Those cadres who were transferred later, especially those who were transferred this year, saw even the first-level personnel of the Jidong Military Region. Equipped with a radio that can directly communicate in secret, my jaw almost dropped.
However, communication is now more convenient, but Yi Liangpin also knows that the headquarters will strictly control these things and will take any measures to prevent them from falling into the hands of the Japanese army. Yi Liangpin once saw with his own eyes the correspondents who were selected to study at the headquarters. Finally, he always carries a small can of kerosene and a very special-looking grenade with him.
Later, after he repeatedly asked, an old comrade from the Fourth Front Army who is now the communications director of the headquarters told him that this was a special hand grenade. It only took two seconds from pulling the string to exploding. The kerosene carried by these correspondents was to burn the secret code for them. The notebook, and the grenade was used for them to destroy the walkie-talkies.
Although the old comrade did not say it clearly, Yi Liangpin also knew that the grenades distributed to these correspondents were not only used to destroy the radio stations, but also to be destroyed by the people who used the radio stations. This kind of grenade only takes two seconds from pulling the string to exploding. , it almost explodes as soon as the string is pulled, and few people can avoid it.
Watching the correspondents around me busy in front of the two-watt 71-type radio, communicating with the troops of the Second Regiment who were cautiously approaching the logging greenhouse from time to time, and asking about the progress of the artillery, I heard the radio station from the former Fourth Front Army Headquarters. An old comrade who participated in the Western Expedition once mentioned the importance of wireless communication confidentiality. Yi Liangpin shook his head and threw aside the unspeakable meaning lingering in his mind.
Although he was already familiar with this kind of two-watt communication and service dual-purpose machine in training before, when he heard the clear report of preparations from his subordinates through the earphones, Yi Liangpin immediately announced the start in plain language. After giving the order, I still felt a burst of admiration in my heart.
Yi Liangpin had made complete preparations to pass through the logging greenhouse as soon as possible, but this result surprised him. The artillery battalion commander, who was the disciple of Ma Qichang, the deputy commander of the artillery of the military region, had excellent skills and achieved accurate hits in the first shot. The 75mm mountain artillery shells were fired, sending the house with the radio antenna outside and the people inside to the west.
With the explosion of thirty rounds of Qiwu Mountain Cannon and the roar of dozens of light and heavy machine guns of the Second Regiment, Yi Liangpin, who originally thought he would encounter stubborn resistance, saw a dramatic scene. Before he could wait for about two battalions, The second regiment outflanking them launched a charge, but the Japanese and puppet troops there actually raised their white flags and surrendered.
When the second regiment rushed in, they discovered that this small mountain village could not accommodate so many troops. Including all Japanese officials in the Puppet Manchukuo military police, all Japanese troops lived in a limited number of inside the house, while the rest of the Puppet Manchukuo Forest Police and Belarusian Railway Guards could only live in tents.
It was now dusk again, and all the Japanese went back to their rooms to rest after dinner. Yi Liangpin's bombardment not only blew up the only radio station of the Japanese and puppet troops here, but also destroyed most of the radio stations. The Japanese who were all taking a bath were given a spoonful of stew.
Without the control of the Japanese, these puppet Manchukuo forest police, especially the mercenary Belarusian railway garrison, will not fight with all their strength. These Belarusians are all looking for a shelter because they have no food and clothing and no other means of livelihood. The land is working for the Japanese.
Now that the supervisors are all dead, these people who work hard for the sake of money will naturally not resist desperately. After all, everyone is raising a family, so there is no need to fight desperately. If you see God, Those who support their wives and children have no habit of wanting their wives to sleep with other men.
As for the Puppet Manchukuo forest police, if the Japanese have the upper hand, they will naturally put up a little more effort, but now their masters cannot protect themselves. The sound of artillery ringing all night long in the north is not a bluff, especially in the past two days, although it is not I know what the situation in the north is like.
But it turns out that the Japanese, who have always been domineering and domineering, are as depressed as if their own mother has died. I am afraid that the war situation will not be too favorable. Those veteran policemen in the Puppet Manchukuo forest police are all good at observing words, not to mention that the Japanese here are basically If you are beaten by a spoonful, you will fight to the death to show others. Even if you are lucky enough to win, good things will not happen to you. Besides, the opponent has so many cannons, and you have no chance of winning.
Yi Liangpin has no interest in the reason why the Japanese and puppet troops here gave up resistance so easily. He doesn't have to bother to fight a battle that he doesn't have time to fight. It's naturally a good thing for him, as he doesn't have time to take in the prisoners. , they just collected the weapons of these Japanese and puppet troops, put a few grenades to blow them up, and then left the stunned Japanese and puppet troops and walked away.
It has been more than ten hours since I forced myself to penetrate, and there is still a fairly short mountain road to go from the column's designated destination. I don't really need those weapons, and the troops who are already exhausted don't have much energy to carry them. It's not the same thing to stay in the hands of the puppet Manchukuo military police.
Although he was accustomed to living a frugal life in the Red Army, Yi Liangpin also knew that his army, which had discarded all excess supplies except necessary weapons, ammunition and dry food, currently did not have the energy to carry thousands of 38 rifles and A dozen light and heavy machine guns survived the shelling.
As for the ammunition, all of our troops are 79 rifles and light and heavy machine guns made in Poland. The hundreds of thousands of 65 bullets are not versatile. In addition to leaving the ammunition and finding a place to hide it so that it can be used when necessary, For the extra weapons that could not be carried, a few explosive bags tied with grenades were placed to blow them all up.
They didn't even ask for the seized weapons, and no one took care of the Puppet Manchukuo military and police. They didn't even do the necessary demobilization. They just sent a person to tell the Puppet Manchukuo military and police who were lined up neatly and ready to surrender. Either go home when it's time to go home, or wait here until someone comes to surrender.
The left-behind Puppet Manchukuo soldiers and police looked at the large group of people who had confiscated their weapons and burned them, without even paying attention to themselves, and hurried past, and they were at a loss. Didn't they say that these anti-resistance alliances lacked weapons and ammunition? How could these fine rifles and a dozen light and heavy machine guns be blown up all at once?
After the two main regiments of the fifth brigade had all passed, and looking at the large number of pack horses carrying mountain artillery, mortars, infantry artillery, and heavy machine guns, these puppet Manchukuo soldiers and police realized how wrong they were. It was not that they were lacking. They were not surprised at all. Just passing by in a hurry, they saw dozens of heavy machine guns and machine guns with large calibers. When did the Anti-Japanese Alliance become so wealthy?
After all the five brigades that were rushing past passed, the Puppet Manchukuo military police who woke up from the shock discovered a serious problem. All the food and reserves were damaged by the opponent's shelling, and they left their own people behind. , it’s a good thing that I don’t care about myself, but where people like me are going to eat tomorrow, in addition to heading north towards the battlefield, it is still two days away from the nearest town and stronghold.
Yi Liangpin naturally had no time to worry about whether the puppet Manchukuo soldiers and police had food to eat. When he arrived at the front line of Nongnonggou, he looked at the time displayed on his watch. It was still half an hour before the column's prescribed time. Yi Liangpin He breathed a sigh of relief and said to the radio station director next to him: "Send a report to the column. Our unit has arrived at the designated location half an hour ahead of schedule, completing the task assigned by our superiors to cut off the retreat of the Japanese troops in southern Yilan."
