"In this battle, three enemy regiments, a brigade, with a total of 5,200 people, including 1,200 captives, countless weapons and ammunition seized, including 12 mortars, 5 bases of ammunition, and 18 heavy machine gun ammunition were also 5 bases. , Nearly 100 light machine guns, rifles, submachine guns have not yet been counted ..... "
Shocked again, Guan Xiangying knew that he had brought soldiers for such a long time and never had such a large seizure! Can't you be shocked? At this moment, the battle around the enemy's second brigade was about to begin.
It turned out that when the enemy's second brigade received a rescue telegram from a brigade, he immediately suspected that He Long wanted to ambush his own avant-garde brigade. He knew that he would need to wipe out one of his brigade with He Long's strength. Thinking of this, I immediately ordered the middle echelon to run immediately to reinforce his forward brigade, but after all, there was a road of nearly 10 miles. When he finally finished halfway, the battle was over, but the 15th division commander died unexpectedly. One of the elite brigades was wiped out, and ordered his troops to continue to accelerate, even forgetting to inquire about power generation.
Looking at the enemies running to the ambush breathlessly, Liu Hua couldn't help but curse a modern version of "Stupid" but did not forget to pull the trigger of his rifle. Immediately, all the artillery in the position began to roar, and the machine gun began to spit out the terrible tongue of fire, watching the panting enemy forces fall continuously, even without the time to react, and the rifle had not been held in hand. Feeling a bit of intolerance, Liu Hua once again blew the Charge.
The enemy might be really exhausted, plus all the officers were basically killed in the first moment. When hearing the Red Charge, it seemed that everyone was relieved and immediately dropped their rifle and knelt in their hands. On the ground, raised his hands. Looking at the captives, Liu Hua smiled bitterly, and so many soldiers were added.
After leaving a battalion to clean up the battlefield, Liu Hua took the remaining five battalions and rushed to the three regiments that were blocking the guard brigade. Although the three regiments were supported by heavy machine guns, they had already appeared with the support of the enemy artillery company. Great casualties, the battle has entered a fierce heat, but they are fighting with the last bit of strength and persisting.
When Liu Hua arrived, he immediately ordered a battalion to support the three regiments. The remaining two battalions enveloped the enemy's wings. After going up to a battalion of reinforcements, the three regiments finally stabilized their positions and slowly began to be in the artillery. The battalion also rushed over and immediately set up an artillery position. After several artillery fire covers, it finally destroyed the artillery position that was the greatest threat to the Red Army and began firing on the enemy's heavy machine gun position. At this time, the three regiments finally prevailed. Since the enemy brigade did not strike with a sniper company, the chief was basically alive. The enemy brigade commander was a very experienced warrior. After receiving himself and the forward brigade, the divisional telegraph was interrupted. Immediately judged that the main force of the 15th Division may have been completed, coupled with the sudden increase in the firepower of the Communist Army on the ground, which further affirmed their speculation and immediately decided to withdraw.
Perhaps it was a fate of fate. Just when he was about to give an order, he suddenly remembered the fierce gunfire in all directions, and the mortars began to blast fiercely at the place where the guard brigade concentrated. Listening to the continuous sound of gunfire in the surroundings, watching his troops continue to suffer casualties under the shelling, the enemy brigade brigade commander finally could not stand it. After learning that his army had suffered more than half of the casualties, the brigade chief's determination to resist was complete No, under the leadership of the brigade commander, all the remaining troops of the guard brigade soon surrendered.
When Liu Hua heard that the enemy guard brigade had surrendered nearly a regiment under the leadership of the brigade commander, listening to the gunfire of the political commissar's attack on Taoyuan, Liu Hua couldn't help blinking his eyes and immediately had an idea.
Under the threat of Wang Nanhu and others, the enemy reporter quickly sent a telegram to the defenders of Taoyuan. The content was very simple. "Our Ministry was ambushed by the Communist Army. , Retreating to Taoyuan, arriving in an hour. "
Knowing that the telegram had been sent, Sun Xingbang brought a group of soldiers who had changed clothes and approached Taoyuan County under the leadership of the enemy guard brigade commander. As a result of Liu Hua's order, the political commissar did not attack the west gate of Taoyuan County, and the troops quickly entered the gate. Guarding the gate is a battalion commander who may know the guard brigade commander and open the gate from a distance.
Seeing that the city gate was opened, Sun Xingbang was happy for a while, and immediately ordered the troops to enter the city according to the original plan. When the battalion commander came to the city gate with a smile to greet the guard brigade commander, he received a bayonet of a group of soldiers. Under the threat of bayonet in a battalion, except for some assassinated, the rest surrendered obediently. The two regiments led by Liu Hua have followed far behind. After learning that a group had quietly captured Simon, they immediately ordered the troops to run forward and took over Simon. Order the rest of the troops in a regiment to divide into several routes, like arrows one by one to insert around Taoyuan.
The street fighting was fierce, and from noon to night, the Xiang Army's garrison in the city was completely cleared. Looking at the soldiers with smoke on his face and the body of a martyr lying on the ground, Liu Hua cried again, what a good soldier. Watching the body of a martyr being transported outside the city, Liu Hua silently shed tears when he saw the wounded being carried into a temporary rescue center.
Liu Hua was not in a hurry to let the soldiers count the results and clean the battlefield, but just ordered the logistics to come up with the best things and let the soldiers take a good rest, because they were too tired.
The next day, all the cadres came to the temporary division meeting, some of them were depressed and some were smiling.
"Chief of staff, read the results and losses!"
"Yes, division!" Guan Xiangying stood up and saluted all cadres a military salute.
"Comrades, in this battle we wiped out the 15th Division of the Central Army and a garrison brigade in the Taoyuan County of the Hunan Army, with a total of 19,000 people, including about 6,500 captives (including lightly wounded) and 800 seriously wounded. Captive 15th Division One brigadier and two regiments. "
Looking at the smiling cadres below, the chief of staff continued
"Countless ammunitions were seized, including 50 mortars, 66 heavy machine guns, nearly 200 light machine guns, about 10,000 rifles, assault rifles, countless ammunition, and even more happy, all the 15 divisions in Taoyuan Reserve were seized. The logistical supplies are a great success. "
Liu Hua didn't speak after hearing it, sitting quietly there, "Chief of staff, read the casualty data."
"Yes, division. In this battle, our army killed more than 1,500 people, seriously injured more than 300 people, and slightly injured more than 1,000 people. One of them was killed by 400 people, the second group was killed by 350 people, the third group was killed by 600 people, and the recruits and other soldiers were killed by 150 People and two groups. The deaths of two regiments were mainly caused by street fighting with the Hunan Army, and the three regiments were mainly caused by the enemy's artillery fire during the battle with the low-poly guard brigade. "
After listening to the casualty report, everyone was silent. You should know that at this time the independent division's biggest casualty since its establishment, can you not be sad? Watching one by one the familiar comrades-in-arms came under the enemy's muzzle, so many comrades-in-arms could never see it after the first battle.
"Comrades, I know the biggest casualty since the formation of the independent division of this division. I know that everyone is very sad, but we are the chief of the army. We still have so many cadres and soldiers. If you are all in a loss, what will they do? Give me your head up? "Liu Hua finally couldn't help but roared loudly.
"Very well, I now order that all the personnel missing in the three main battalions of each regiment are supplemented by their respective recruit battalions. We must ensure the combat effectiveness of the three main battalions. The recruit battalions of each regiment expanded for me, all reaching 5 companies. 800 people, the artillery company reached 12 mortars, and each battalion 's heavy machine gun company was equipped with 12 heavy machine guns. In addition, in order to strengthen the melee firepower of each combat squad, it is now required to unify the firepower of the independent division, a combat squad 14 people, the squad leader and the deputy squad leader each equipped with a shell gun to charge the previous one, one of which is a light machine gun, both of them must carry a rifle, and two assault gunners, eight riflemen, all the main groups are equipped with weapons in this standard If you don't buy enough, look for the political commissar. "
"The second order is that Li Xiaowu no longer serves concurrently as the Chief of Logistics. The Chief of Logistics is headed by Li Qing, a political commissar, and Li Xiaowu is the head of the combat battalion of the Logistics Division. It has 1,000 people under its control, and was expanded from the original combat battalion. It administers a thousand-person battle group, two thousand-person heavy camps, with a total of 3,000. The missing personnel are selected from the captives, and 20 are selected from the cadres brought by the chief of staff to serve as backbones. "
"Fourth, the artillery battalion and the heavy machine gun battalion each have only three battalions. The excess equipment is all handed over to the logistics department, and the other two battalions each have a junior company."
"Fourth, one for each regiment of the radio station and two for the logistics department of the division. The remaining 7 units are all taken care of by the logistics department. Well, there are so many, chief of staff, look at how many people there are in the division. Let me know. "Liu Hua looked at the chief of staff, who was sitting with notes.
"Comrades, our independent division has a total of 16,000 divisions according to the division's plan. Oh, I can't believe it, we are still divisions." The chief of staff joked with a smile.
In this way, the independent division began a new round of rest and training, but the time was very short. Only three days were enough. In the words of a regiment leader, "three days are enough. There are so many veterans in the independent division. The combat effectiveness will definitely increase rapidly. "
Looking at the enthusiastic training of soldiers everywhere in Taoyuan County, the chief of staff felt like he was dreaming. Thinking of the hard life of the current Second and Sixth Army Corps, lack of guns and less ammunition, Guan Xiangying's brow frowned again.
"Chief of staff, see if you look bad, are you worried about the Second and Sixth Army!" Liu Hua asked, seeing the chief of staff frowning constantly. The chief of staff did not speak, and nodded. Liu Hua passed a piece of paper.
"15,000 sets of quilts, 200,000 pounds of grain, 36 mortars, 3600 rounds of shells, 36 heavy machine guns, 36,000 rounds of ammunition. 200 light machine guns, 50,000 rounds of ammunition, 10,000 rifles, and 500,000 rounds of ammunition .. ... "Looking at the data above, Guan Xiangying looked at the smiling teacher with a puzzled look.
"Chief of staff, do you look at me like this, do I have a beauty. Hehe, these are the greetings for the Second and Sixth Army Corps. This is where I came from from the political commissar just now. See if you agree. We will see you in a few days They can be given to Chief He. How are you? "
"Master, so many? My God? Hurry up and say, how many good things do independent teachers have? I don't know?" Xiao Ke asked with a look of surprise and happiness.
"Oh, Chief of Staff, you're looking for the wrong person. You should ask Li Political Commissar, he knows better than me." Liu Hua looked at the Chief of Staff with a sullen expression.
