Time passed quickly, and the originally lazy time suddenly became urgent.
22nd.
Regiment leader Kong Jie and political commissar Zhao Gang rushed to the division headquarters for a meeting.
Although Li Yunlong, who was waiting at the station, didn't know the situation clearly, his intuition told him that something big might have happened.
Lao Li was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, waiting for Zhao Gang and Kong Jie to come back and bring him the latest content of the meeting.
It wasn't until almost noon that Kong Jie and Zhao Gang returned to their base.
"Lao Kong, Lao Zhao, the division headquarters suddenly held a meeting this time. What happened?"
"Old Zhao, please talk to Lao Li!"
"Okay." Zhao Gang responded and said, "This time I went to the division headquarters for a meeting. The division headquarters mainly issued instructions for the regiments of our 129th Division to prepare for the Battle of Zhengtai."
Then, Zhao Gang introduced the contents of the meeting to Li Yunlong.
After hearing this, Li Yunlong slapped his thigh and applauded, "Damn, that's great. I've been waiting for this day for a long time. It's been the little devils who have been attacking us all this time. We've always been passively defensive. Don't mention it." How frustrating it is, the swordsman should draw his sword, there is no reason to retreat when we meet on a narrow road? This time I have to kill you."
Kong Jie said: "Based on the location and situation of our independent regiment's base area, and instructions from our superiors, we are mainly responsible for the road section near Yangquan."
"After the combat order for the Battle of Zhengtai was issued, our entire regiment went on alert, planned the combat deployment in advance, and was ready to accept orders from our superiors at any time to launch an attack on the Zhengtai Railway near Yangquan, including large and small towns built by the Japanese army, I am also prepared to dispatch a force to carry out raids on strongholds near stations and bridges, as well as all the way from Taiyuan City to Yangquan."
"Although the main purpose is to break the attack, fighting is definitely indispensable. Lao Kong, just give the order!" Li Yunlong said.
"good!"
In the next few days, Kong Jie held a military meeting and issued preparations for the deployment of combat orders for the Battle of Zhengtai in response to his superiors.
Black clouds are threatening to destroy the city.
After Kong Jie's order was issued, the full and busy atmosphere of the independent regiment, which was still training, was swept away, and then turned into a solemn, depressive one, mixed with a touch of excitement.
The soldiers seemed to have an intuition that a big war was about to begin.
28th.
The cavalry company commander Sun Desheng and the instructor Chen Dalian have been training with the cavalry company for more than a month.
With the tacit cooperation between the two, high pressure, and correct training, the soldiers of the cavalry company made rapid progress.
On the training ground, the horses were galloping, in groups of ten, divided into more than twenty groups. Under the command of Sun Desheng, the horses charged forward in groups, almost side by side.
Both the horse's head and the warrior's body are almost in a straight line.
The progress of the soldiers of the cavalry company in their riding skills was shockingly fast.
After the last training of the day, Sun Desheng rode on a war horse. Looking at the neatly lined up cavalry company also riding on war horses, Sun Desheng shouted: "Brothers, from the time when our cavalry company was formed, we have been training to this day. , it’s been a month and five days.”
"To be honest, I know that everyone trains very hard, training day and night. The most exaggerated thing is, many soldiers said that they even have to remember the time when taking a bath."
"But I think everyone has seen the effect. Let me tell you, although we only trained for a month and five days, according to the intensity of our training, it is fully worth the three months of training for a normal cavalry company."
"I know that everyone is holding back a lot of energy! I also promised you that as long as you train well, you will definitely fight!"
"When you promised me, the regiment leader said the ugly things first. Now I will tell you the ugly words first. Don't make everyone scream louder than anyone else when you are not on the battlefield. Then you will say it to me when you are on the battlefield. Be a coward!"
"I, Sun Desheng, have hated Japanese soldiers and traitors all my life, but what I hate most are deserters! Especially deserters who shrink from battle!"
"The one who charges is the cavalry, the one who retreats is the coward."
"When you go to the battlefield, you will give me a good show and show off the majesty of our cavalry company!"
"kill!"
"kill!"
The soldiers roared.
After the shouting gradually stopped, Sun Desheng said: "Now everyone listen to the instructor's speech."
Chen Dalian stepped forward on horseback and said loudly: "Comrades, I actually have nothing to say. The company commander has already said what needs to be said."
"What I want to say is just one sentence. Raise troops for a thousand days and use them for a while. This time our cavalry company goes to battle not only to prove it to ourselves, but also to prove it to the entire regiment of soldiers. We want the world to know that we The cavalry will never lose its luster! Our cavalry will always be a sharp sword!"
"In this battle, we must show off our cavalry style, and we must make the name of the cavalry company of the Independent Regiment of the Eighth Route Army resound throughout northwest Shanxi!"
"Comrades, do you have confidence?"
"Yes, yes -"
On the training ground, the roar once again shook the world.
Regiment Headquarters.
When Sun Desheng arrived, a loud voice rang out throughout the courtyard.
"Reporting to the regimental commander, the cavalry company commander Sun Desheng reports to you!"
Ding——
Kong Jie suddenly felt something bad. Why had he forgotten this? But people were already here, so he couldn't let them go back, right?
"Come in!"
"yes!"
Sun Desheng responded, strode into the room, and saluted Kong Jie, Zhao Gang, and Li Yunlong who were studying the newly made sand table in the room, "Regiment leader, political commissar, deputy leader!"
Kong Jie coughed twice, pretending to be confused and said, "Oh, Sun Desheng, what's the matter?"
Sun Desheng was such a straight-forward person that he always behaved like this wherever he went. He immediately spoke and said bluntly: "Report to the regimental commander, at the end of last month you promised me that as long as the cavalry company is trained, there will be battles. To this day , our cavalry company has been training for a month and five days, and is ready to be inspected by the regiment commander at any time!"
The implication is that after the review is over, it's time for our cavalry company to fight.
"Has the training really come out?" Kong Jie pretended to question.
Sun Desheng solemnly said: "If the regiment commander doesn't believe it, he can go to the cavalry company to check at any time. Whether it is the soldiers' riding skills, marksmanship, or the coordination of the cavalry's combat tactics, I, Sun Desheng, dare to pat my chest and assure the regiment commander that there is no problem. "
"Just over a month?" Li Yunlong interrupted.
Sun Desheng said with emotion: "Reporting to the deputy commander, although it only lasts for one month, in terms of intensity, it is equivalent to three months of training for a normal cavalry company. In the past month, the soldiers have not dared to have any time to rest. Soldiers are on horseback when training, on horseback when eating, and even when sleeping, as long as the horses don't need to rest, the soldiers are also on horseback."
"Everyone is suffocating in their hearts! We are just waiting for the battle promised by the regiment leader. For this battle, the soldiers have trained very hard, and the time is faster."
Yes, you shot yourself in the foot.
Li Yunlong, who was afraid that there would be no fight, laughed.
Zhao Gang was also helpless, and everyone's eyes finally focused on Kong Jie.
Ahem——
"Did I really promise you that the cavalry company will fight after training?"
What does this mean?
Sun Desheng was anxious, "Captain, you can't keep your word. When you promised me, the political commissar and deputy commander were both there!"
"Yes, that's what happened. I'm Sun Desheng's guarantor!" Li Yunlong helped.
Kong Jie: "..."
Zhao Gang smiled and said: "Old Kong, I asked you to make blind promises to the soldiers. Now you should have a headache, right?"
