Zhao Gang thought that the matter would be settled at the brigade headquarters.
But things are not that simple.
"Zhao Gang, I just reported the situation of Gao Jianwu to the headquarters. The boss and division commander ordered that you, Zhao Gang, go to the headquarters to personally report the situation of the Dagushan Independent Guerrilla Brigade." But when Zhao Gang was about to return home, the brigade commander chased him out. Stopped him.
Zhao Gang was completely unprepared, but the order from the headquarters was unquestionable, so Zhao Gang had to rush towards the headquarters.
During this period, due to the crazy raids by the Japs, the regiment headquarters, the brigade headquarters, and the headquarters were all far apart. Although the independent regiment was said to be part of the defense headquarters, it was at least a hundred miles away from the brigade headquarters and the headquarters, which made Zhao just run away.
Compared to Commander Li Da's training team in Zhao Jiayu, seeing the new 1st Battalion improving at a speed visible to the naked eye, he would have some sweet potato roasting at night.
Nowadays, bullets are relatively abundant. After the live-fire target practice was arranged, the soldiers continued to train with great enthusiasm, and their marksmanship improved extremely quickly. Although each person only had 30 live-fire target shooting opportunities for the time being, this was considered a luxury in the independent group.
Let alone the unbearable memories of old soldiers, even the newcomers from the militia in the New 1st Battalion also know how precious bullets are. Not long ago, only 5 rounds were fired per capita in the war!
So even if Li Yunlong arranges 30 rounds of live ammunition, each of these soldiers will have done enough training and mastered the key points before firing one round. Then, based on the results and feelings of this round, they will discuss the details with the squad leader, platoon leader and other veteran soldiers. , re-trained and felt that it was in place, and then I was willing to shoot the second round!
How can this kind of training for excellence be ineffective? !
Zhao Gang couldn't see this. He was sitting on pins and needles, telling Gao Jianwu's story again like a fairy tale in front of the headquarters boss and division commander.
That's right, in the eyes of the boss and teachers, this is what listening to legendary stories means.
"Zhao Gang, you mean to say that Gao Jianwu and a few people, in less than 2 months, mobilized a team of nearly a thousand people and killed nearly a large group of Japanese?" the boss concluded succinctly. "You damn girl don't tell stories in front of me, do you?"
"Boss, how can I talk nonsense about this?" Zhao Gang was also helpless, but this was really hard to believe.
"Boss, let's not talk about anything else. In the battle against the Japanese Kwantung Army's supply train, the two Japanese squadrons had nearly 400 people, carrying heavy firepower such as the 92 infantry cannon and the 90mm small steel cannon. However, in the Gao Jianwu Dagushan The guerrillas were surrounded by an infantry detachment, a mortar detachment and a heavy machine gun detachment, and they had no temper at all.”
"Li Yunlong and I squatted on the top of the mountain and watched them forcefully defeat the Kwantung Army with very few casualties. Less than 50 people died in the battle. Even if there was no independent regiment to strengthen the battalion to clean the battlefield, they could still Won the battle easily."
"They were very particular about ambushes. All the firepower points where the light and heavy machine guns were ambushed were built with anti-artillery fortifications, leaving the little devil's artillery helpless. At the same time, they also had sufficient ammunition prepared to ensure almost constant machine gun fire throughout the entire process."
"It was also equipped with a commando team of nearly 30 people with submachine guns and machine guns for the final charge, knocking out the Japanese with overwhelming firepower. To be honest, Lao Li and I were almost dumbfounded at the time. We had never seen such an easy solution. battle."
The boss and the teacher looked at each other, knowing that Zhao Gang couldn't joke about something like this, and couldn't help but look a little weird on their faces.
They are all veterans who have experienced hundreds of battles, so they naturally know that there are too many strange things in this.
It's hard to say anything else. Just looking at the seizures, judging from the earlier Pingxingguan victory, Gao Jianwu captured too many.
We must know that more than 1,000 enemies were wiped out in the Pingxingguan victory. They were still the baggage team of the Itagaki Division, the main division of the Japs. They only captured more than 1,000 rifles, more than 20 machine guns, and 1 artillery piece, because the defeat of the Japs would destroy all the heavy weapons. .
How come Gao Jianwu captured more than ten cannons and hundreds of light and heavy machine guns?
However, when Zhao Gang reported the captured baggage of the Kwantung Army, the boss and division commander were all shocked.
"Zhao Gang," the division commander stared at Zhao Gang and said, "the 92 infantry artillery and the 90mm small steel cannon are not fully staffed by our division headquarters artillery regiment. They must be sent to the division headquarters as soon as possible."
"Division commander," Zhao Gang was about to cry, "the brigade commander has taken away all our cannons, and now we don't have any cannons."
Zhao Gang took the opportunity to cry.
"This Chen Geng, you are really quick to attack." The teacher laughed and cursed, shook his head, obviously he had no intention of pursuing it further. The palms and backs of the hands are all flesh, and the brigade commander is the main force under his command, so it is not bad in his hands.
Zhao Gang wiped a cold sweat. He knew that these big guys were also crazy about poverty. There were big holes everywhere under their command that were short of guns and ammunition. They needed to allocate extremely limited resources from an overall perspective.
If there were enough weapons and ammunition, the tens of thousands of troops now could be as arrogant as the little devils.
Just look at Gao Jianwu and you will know that with this firepower configuration, he can ambush and kill a small enemy of the same size.
The same situation is completely different if it is replaced by the reinforcement camp before the independent group. In many cases, you have to exchange one for one at the extreme limit!
This is what Li Yunlong can do. The average team leader cannot do the ultimate exchange of one for one. He will lose once in a battle. If he fights such tough battles a few more times, the team will be gone.
During this period, there are so many core groups that have shrunk by half or one-third, and even the main group has suffered a lot.
The little devil's raids are really no joke.
The boss knocked on the table there, pondered for a long time, then raised his head and said to Zhao Gang, "If Gao Jianwu is transferred from Dagushan and goes to the Holy Land to study at the Anti-Japanese University for a few months, how much impact will it have on the Dagushan base area? "
Zhao Gang was shocked when he heard this.
"Boss, you must not do this." Zhao Gang stood up in shock, "We have discussed within the Independent Regiment that Gao Jianwu's way of leading troops to fight and build base areas is completely different from that of the Independent Regiment and even the brothers at the brigade, and even the Dagushan Independent Regiment The guerrilla brigade is currently relying on Gao Jianwu to gather them together. If they are transferred at this early juncture, I am afraid it will have a huge negative impact."
The boss's thoughts made Zhao Gang feel that he must make the powerful relationship clear.
"Boss, Li Yunlong and I have the same opinion. At this stage, we let him go, but in terms of manpower, especially grassroots cadres, the regiment, brigade and even the headquarters will first send a group to Gao Jianwu. Reliable subordinates."
"Comrade Gao Jianwu can be regarded as an old comrade of our independent regiment. There is no problem in terms of reliability. At present, the team also leads several veterans from the independent regiment to control key positions such as squad leader and team leader. But these are The veteran soldier did not receive much cadre training, and he was promoted from an ordinary soldier to managing dozens or hundreds of people. Gao Jianwu just rushed to the top, and there was nothing he could do."
After listening to Zhao Gang's words, the boss nodded and thought for a while. "Zhao Gang, don't think too much. I just want to say that in this difficult period, when an outstanding talent like Gao Jianwu emerges, I will go to the Holy Land to study at the Anti-Japanese University and then come back to put some pressure on him. I will also report and communicate with the Holy Land. Battle conditions on the front line.”
Zhao Gang knew that the boss was considering a much higher position, but even so, he could not accept the transfer of Gao Jianwu at this stage.
It was not easy to find a talented person who could fight well, and the independent group suddenly became rich. As one of the chief officers of the independent group, Zhao Gang subconsciously wanted to keep Gao Jianwu without Li Yunlong's teaching.
"Boss, can we give Gao Jianwu the choice of when to leave Dagushan? After all, he is on the front line and knows the situation best." Zhao Gang suggested carefully.
"Okay, let's do it! Send an order to Gao Jianwu, and when he thinks it's the right time, go to the Holy Land to study at the Anti-Japanese University for a while and then come back." The boss said directly.
