...Ninth Company.
Under the joint command of the Ninth Company Commander Zhu Wu and the instructor Li Wenjie, the Ninth Company soldiers successfully pulled out another section of the Japanese railway track.
At the meeting at the Ninth Company's temporary station, the report, analysis, and summary of the battle during this period were as follows:
Li Wenjie said: "Wang Gui, tell us about the general situation of our ninth company's operations during this period!"
"yes!"
Wang Gui, a former soldier of the National Army who joined the Eighth Route Army and the Ninth Company after being rescued by Kong Jie from the mine, responded.
After getting along with each other for a long time, Wang Gui, who once had conflicts with the soldiers of the Ninth Company because he did not dare to charge with fierce Japanese firepower and did not obey orders to retreat when attacking the stronghold, has now already had conflicts with the soldiers of the Ninth Company. They mingle together and are very harmonious with each other.
Naturally, the contribution of instructor Li Wenjie is indispensable.
Let’s not mention it here for now.
All I know is that today's Ninth Company is no longer like the Ninth Company in the past. It is a small company with a hundred and ten people, and it is also organized into several small groups, such as veteran groups, recruit groups, and defected national army groups.
Everyone has only one common title - Soldiers of the Ninth Company of the Eighth Route Army Independent Regiment.
During this period of raids and attacks on Japanese strongholds, Wang Gui performed extremely well and fought bravely. Not only that, he also led the National Army soldiers who joined him to join the Eighth Route Army. .
They are completely different people now than they were a month ago.
Not to mention disobeying orders and retreating, he always rushed to the front every time he charged into battle. After the battle, company commander Zhu Wu sighed with emotion, and then scolded Wang Gui, "How many lives do you have for playing like this?" You don't want your life, but the other brothers also need their lives! If you continue to work so hard, I won't dare to put you in the vanguard team."
"No, company commander, I'm scared to death! I'll just have to dodge the enemy's fire a little next time. Don't move me to the back!"
Wang Gui quickly begged for mercy, and Zhu Wu shook his head helplessly before giving up, but he liked this soldier even more in his heart.
He has backbone and is a tough guy!
Back to the present, Wang Gui is not only brave in combat and good at marksmanship, but also has gone to school. Although he only has an elementary school education, he has no problem at all in writing and literacy.
At this moment, Wang Gui is doing battle reports and summaries, but he has also been doing clerical work for nine years:
"Comrades, this time we successfully destroyed 57 meters of the Japanese railway line. In addition to several previous raids, we have destroyed no less than 300 meters of the Japanese railway tracks alone."
"In addition, four small Japanese strongholds were captured, one Japanese railway station was demolished, and three Japanese bridges were blown up."
"As for the materials seized, to a small extent, they include wires, flashlights, thermoses, beds, quilts, etc. Let's mainly talk about the weapons and equipment seized!"
"In the past two weeks, our main seizures were at the Japs' strongholds. A total of 85 rifles, 21 pistols, 65 bayonets, and more than 80 hand grenades were seized. The ammunition was mainly 6.5mm used by the Japs. mm rifle bullets, more than 5,000."
"But to be honest, what we fought was a tough battle. We only captured the four small Japanese strongholds. Some of them even had only one squad of Japanese soldiers stationed in them. However, we also consumed more than 3,000 bullets. This is why we save money in fighting. As a result, in total, the ammunition seized was only a little over 2,000. If we had wasted a little bit, we would probably have lost money by defeating these four strongholds."
"So, in the future battles, company commanders and instructors, I suggest that we have to plan the battle carefully, especially for the militia comrades. To be honest, their marksmanship has not been practiced. Give each of them three A bullet is a bit wasteful, most of them are empty guns."
"I suggest that they be given red-tasseled guns and broadswords in the later stage. They go to the battlefield to replenish their wounds, and by pricking the injured Japanese a few times, their bloodiness will be trained. There is no need to waste bullets at all."
"Of course, there are many militia comrades who have good foundations and their marksmanship has improved very quickly. I have already made a list of them. Company commanders and instructors. As long as you nod your head, I will immediately pull him into our team. "
Li Wenjie smiled and said: "I asked you to report on the situation of our battle, why are you going so far?"
"But your suggestion is good, Lao Zhu. I also suggest that for the local army comrades and militia comrades who have performed well in these battles, we can expand them into our team in advance for further training."
"As for the militia comrades, bullets still have to be distributed. They are trained according to the military training manual written by the regiment leader and political commissar. The content of daily training is also very similar to ours. When live-fire target practice is not possible, most of them It’s a daily rifle aiming training.”
"They can practice with live ammunition in front of them. This is a good opportunity for them to make progress. They just need to make it clear to the militia comrades that bullets cannot be placed randomly. We must strive for one bullet to destroy an enemy."
"yes!"
Wang Gui said convinced.
"In addition, our own marksmanship must not fall behind. Although I have been giving everyone basic marksmanship training in the past month, we still lack live ammunition practice. We must seize every opportunity in front of us. If you want to become a sharpshooter, you can't just rely on words. .”
"Have you forgotten what our Ninth Company's ultimate goal is?"
"Everyone is a sharpshooter and can kill the Japanese invaders one by one!"
Wang Gui took the lead in responding, and the soldiers all followed suit.
Zhu Wu, commander of the Ninth Company, lamented that today's Ninth Company has changed a lot compared to the Ninth Company he led before.
The current trend in Jiulian is that everyone learns culture and everyone learns marksmanship!
The instructor Li Wenjie is even more amazing. He has excellent marksmanship, especially in marksmanship training. He has been practicing marksmanship for everyone non-stop for the past month.
Even Zhu Wu, the commander of the ninth company, improved his marksmanship a lot when Li Wenjie used Xiao Zao.
Zhu Wu learned the detailed concept of sniper from Li Wenjie, and deeply realized the terrifying role a powerful sniper could play on the battlefield.
And Li Wenjie's ambition is to train every soldier in the Ninth Company into a sharpshooter!
I have to say that there is a lot of ambition.
The soldiers refused to admit defeat, but believed that the ambition proposed by the instructor could be realized as long as everyone continued to work hard.
Later, there was the cheering slogan that everyone just shouted.
…
At this time, a communications soldier arrived and reported: "Reporting to the company commander and instructor, the comrades we sent back to the station to collect explosives have returned and brought back the new explosive package recently developed by the armory institute."
"Let's go and have a look together," Li Wenjie said.
A group of people rushed to the station entrance, and Tie Zhu, the third squad leader of the Ninth Company, came back with the team.
The soldiers carried explosive bags on their bodies. There seemed to be about ten small square ones, and five larger ones. The largest one even had to be carried by two or three people, but the number was much smaller, only two.
There were also several soldiers carrying rolls of wires on their backs.
There were also soldiers from the pistol company who came with them as technical guidance.
"Ninth Company Commander, this is a new explosive package sent to you by the commander's order. It can be remotely controlled and exploded by connecting the detonator to the connecting wire."
The technical instructor gave Li Wenjie, Zhu Wu and others a detailed introduction on how to use detonators, wires, and explosive packets to control explosions.
Zhu Wu finally exclaimed: "Dear me, with these new explosive packs, how can the little devils survive?"
"Stop saying anything, let's try the effect tonight."
The Ninth Company, which received the new weapons, did what they said.
That night, after discussing with the instructor Li Wenjie, the ninth company commander Zhu Wu focused on a larger stronghold, where almost a small group of Japanese soldiers were stationed, plus a platoon of puppet troops.
The Japanese and puppet troops have abundant firepower, and this stronghold is surrounded by barbed wire, trenches, and various machine gun fortifications. If they are captured by force, even a battalion of troops may not be enough to conquer it.
Therefore, although Zhu Wu and Li Wenjie hated this stronghold, they never found a way to break it.
"With these explosive packs in front of us, it will be much easier to deal with the Japanese stronghold."
As he spoke, Li Wenjie unfolded a sketch of the defense of the Japanese stronghold. The sketch was drawn by Li Wenjie himself. As for the intelligence, he had already investigated it clearly.
The firepower configuration of the Japanese stronghold, the location of the peripheral machine gun fortifications, the assignment of personnel, and the location of the gun towers are all clearly marked above.
In addition, below are some analyzes written by Li Wenjie.
This is the data obtained through the feint attacks in the past few days. Once the stronghold is attacked, how the internal forces of the Japanese army will be mobilized.
Li Wenjie introduced: "Through these days, we have investigated this stronghold and found that the peripheral fortifications of the Japanese stronghold are between the bungalows of the stronghold and the surrounding trenches and barbed wire. There are a total of three machine gun fortifications, and there is still one at the edge. Heavy machine gun, of course, this heavy machine gun is in a bunker in a semi-underground fortification, so it is not easy to destroy it."
"The Japanese strongholds are always guarded by sentries, and Japanese machine gunners are also stationed at various machine gun fortifications."
"During this period, we have been attacking everywhere and attacking frequently. These Japanese machine gunners eat and sleep on the fortifications. Except for occasionally leaving for defecation and peeing, they almost never leave."
"But we have already locked the locations of these three light machine gun fortifications. We can use our grenade launchers to destroy them from the start."
"Then, the Japanese and puppet troops in the outer gun towers and strongholds will quickly support the outer fortifications, seize the machine gun fortifications, and conduct fire blocking."
"The intersection where they are traveling and the exit at the bottom of the turret are where we bury explosives."
"As long as we place the explosive packs in advance, when the Japanese soldiers and puppet troops pass through these exits, we can remotely control the explosive packs to explode suddenly, and we will be able to catch the Japanese soldiers and puppet soldiers by surprise."
