Ganzhou is destined to be sleepless tonight. Tens of thousands of military cadets are celebrating New Year's Eve together. Needless to say, it is lively. Because they have just won a big victory, its significance is extraordinary. The camera reporters accompanying the army have been busy early in the morning. Ouyang Yun was filming. What made Ouyang Yun a little regretful was that he couldn't do a live broadcast without transmission equipment. Otherwise, what kind of positive social effects would such a grand scene have if it were transmitted back to Guangzhou?
In the fields in the southern suburbs of Panyang County, as soon as the sky darkened, Jiang Tiezhang's third guerrilla division emerged from the ravines and snowy fields one after another, and quickly completed the integration of regiments. At about 5:4 At about ten o'clock, he began to march rapidly towards Leping County.
In the Battle of Nanchang, the second division of the three guerrilla divisions under Chu Tiange was completely crippled, and the first division suffered considerable losses. Only Jiang Tiezhang's third division suffered little loss. If it were from other factions, the officers and soldiers of the third division They may be happy and excited about it, but in the student army, they feel humiliated and aggrieved. The casualties are not large. That is because they did not fight bad battles. There are no bad battles to fight. This means that their army has not been protected by the commander-in-chief and the commander-in-chief. The commander's attention,
This kind of logic sounds absurd, ridiculous and even life-threatening to officers who came from the Central Army. However, in the student army system, it is a logic that has been recognized by everyone. Ouyang Yun's original intention of launching the Nanchang Campaign was to crush The Japanese army's three-sided encirclement plan has achieved its goal. The front-line combat troops must go back to rest and reorganize. Of course, in view of the fact that the Japanese army has launched several major offensives in the border area of Fujian, Zhejiang and Jiangxi, a force was selected from the periphery to Shangrao and Yingtan. A war zone is definitely necessary. This will give Ye Zhao more strategic choices and even prompt him to launch a counterattack. When choosing which troops to send, Ouyang Yun's first consideration is to learn from the Third Division and the Tenth Division. When he and Chu Tiange discussed the matter with the two regular troops of the Seventh Division, three division commanders happened to be there. Among them, Jiang Tiezhang complained to Chu Tiange, saying that his brothers were in trouble because they were not able to participate in the battle as the main force. Have opinions,
Ouyang Yun had an impression of the five brothers of the Jiang family. After all, all five brothers were in the military academy, and this was the only family. He said: "I want to fight. It's simple. I'm just thinking of sending an army to Leping County. Then it’s your three divisions.”
"Sir, are you serious about what you said?" Jiang Tiezhang became excited when he heard this and asked,
Ouyang Yun looked at Chu Tiange and said, "Ask your commander. As long as she agrees, it will be fine."
Jiang Tiezhang immediately looked at Chu Tiange and said, "Commander, you, you will agree."
Chu Tiange naturally had no objection. He asked Ouyang Yun about the combat missions that the Third Guerrilla Division would undertake, and then said to Jiang Tiezhang: "Lao Wu, let's do this. I will send Boss Ti to you, and you must pay attention to enemy reconnaissance." , the Shangying theater is mountainous, the Japanese army is far more powerful than our army, and there are aviation troops to assist in the battle. Be careful of being ambushed. Discuss with Commander Ye when things happen, and never act alone."
"yes."
The territory where the Third Guerrilla Division is hiding is about 70 kilometers away from Leping County. Because there are puppet troops and small Japanese troops stationed along the way, mechanized marching is impossible. On foot, according to the division's average walking speed of 7-8 kilometers per hour Due to the marching speed, it would take about ten hours to reach the battlefield. After deciding on the third guerrilla division to assist in the battle, Ouyang Yun and Ye Zhao contacted each other, and both of them intended to launch a New Year's offensive in the early morning of tomorrow, which is the first day of the first lunar month. So, It is particularly important whether the Third Guerrilla Division can arrive on the battlefield as scheduled.
The tie boss, Jiang Tietou, had set off first two hours ago pretending to be a local veteran. Now, they are about fifteen kilometers ahead of the main force. Under the leadership of a local member of the Spark Brigade, they are keeping their distance. Search forward at a marching speed of 8 kilometers per hour,
In Wuyi Mountain, in the temporary base of the Second Xue Army, Chief of Staff Zhang Gongming and Deputy Army Commander and Commander of the Sixth Xue Division Deng Changyou were escorted by a group of wolves, watching the "Thunderbolt" of about one brigade that had just been sent from Shaowu City. "Fire" rocket launcher, pitting an army against a Japanese group army, the gap in strength was too big. Moreover, the Japanese army also had control of the air. This directly led to the Second Xue Army's only passive defense under the attack of the Japanese 5th Army. Even the counterattack could not be organized.
The "Thunderbolt" rocket launcher looks like a cargo truck from a distance. However, those familiar with the situation only need to think of the sixteen steel pipes connected together. Each one contains a rocket that is about 1.4 meters long and weighs They will feel shuddering at the giant artillery shell weighing about 600 kilograms.
The original inventor of the rocket launcher was the Soviet Union. However, in the current Soviet Union, this type of rocket launcher is still the most primitive BM-13 model. It is still launched from a guide rail. Its range is only 8 kilometers. In contrast, the "Thunderbolt" of the Xuebing Army Well, since participating in actual combat in the Battle of Nanjing, through the improvements of the students at the R&D Institute, we now have complete specifications and models. Not only is the rocket engine technology quite mature, but the range has been greatly improved. Currently, it is the most powerful One model has a range of 18 kilometers,
Ouyang Yun has always spared no expense in developing armaments. The "Thunderbolt" rocket launcher has reappeared on the battlefield after two years of silence. Its role is no longer just a deterrent weapon. Zhang Gongming and Deng Changyou are separated by The camouflage tarpaulin caressed the round launch guide of the rocket launcher, looked at each other in the dim light, and then looked at Xiang Huadong, commander of the 1st Special Artillery Brigade standing next to him, and asked: "A total of eighty One door.”
Nodding to Hua Dong,
Deng Changyou: "Where are the ammunition provided?"
"Five sets of LI type, three sets of LII type, and three sets of K type." Xiang Huadong replied, fearing that the two of them would not understand the difference, he explained: "The L type is ground-facing, and the LI type is equipped with As for the submunition warhead, the LII is equipped with an ordinary warhead; for the K type anti-aircraft warhead, the warhead is a pocket rocket equipped with a delay fuze."
Zhang Gongming: "Okay, our military strength is far inferior to that of the Japanese army, and we need this kind of powerful weapon to make up for the gap. Xiang Brigadier, I heard that the Fourth Army also has a special artillery brigade to assist in the battle."
Xiang Huadong nodded: "The production and modification of rocket launchers and carrier platforms is not troublesome. The difficulty lies in the production of rockets. The headquarters currently has a division of special artillery troops. This time, our first brigade and second brigade are going into battle. trip."
"It's like adding more wings to a tiger." Deng Changyou said: "What the military officer was originally most worried about was the huge disparity in troop strength. Now with the help of 'Thunderbolt Fire', I think what he should be worried about is how many troops the Japanese are willing to send out at one time. Brigadier, brothers, thank you for your hard work. Let's go and eat first. The people near the station have sent a lot of dumplings. It's the New Year's Eve. Eat some auspicious dumplings and hope that we can defeat the little Japanese as soon as possible."
