my bright sword career

Chapter 166
Hearing Commissar Wang's words, Brigadier Chen was taken aback for a moment, and then said in astonishment: "Hey... If you don't tell me, I really didn't expect it. Is our Eighth Route Army shaking now?"

After finishing speaking, the two looked at each other and burst out laughing.

After laughing, Political Commissar Wang said with some emotion: "Actually, it's no wonder that we have become bolder. Who would have thought that in the past, each of our soldiers had only five rounds of bullets in their ammunition reserves. After fighting, they had to prepare bayonets. Of course they didn't." Confidently fight the devils.

But since getting in touch with Commander Gao, the ammunition of our brigade has increased several times compared to before. Now each soldier carries thirty rounds of ammunition. Not only that, but also heavy artillery, tanks, and anti-aircraft artillery Helping out, I didn't even dare to dream about it in the past, no wonder you are so confident. "

"Yes!"

Brigadier Chen also had a smile in his eyes, "This kid Li Yunlong is really a lucky star, to have met such a local tyrant, and he has such great kindness towards us.

I did a little statistics. In the past six months, he has given us hundreds of light and heavy machine guns, more than 1 rifles, dozens of mortars and [-] infantry guns, not to mention ammunition. .

It is precisely because of the relatively abundant ammunition reserves that we dared to attack Yushe County and Liao County at the same time. If it were the past, if we wanted to attack the county, we would not be able to take it down without concentrating the entire brigade. But now?
We also played around the spot to fight for help. All this is thanks to the kid Gao Hongming, so I don't know how to thank him.If he hadn't been married, I'd have planned to introduce him to someone in our army. "

"Hey...I said, Old Chen, you can't mess around." Political Commissar Wang said with a smile: "He has a daughter-in-law, and there are more than one. You will make a mistake by doing this."

"Of course I know." Brigadier Chen said helplessly: "But they have given us so many things, we have to show something, but I really can't think of anything we have that others would appreciate. Don't you feel anxious."

"Do you think that people sent us so many things for our repayment?" Commissar Wang disagreed with Brigadier Chen's words, "Besides, it's not your turn to worry about these things. What about the deputy commander in chief. Let's repay him when we have a chance, what's the use of worrying about it now."

"Haha... You're right, you don't have to worry about eating salty radishes." Brigadier Chen was originally an open-minded person, and after hearing what Political Commissar Wang said, he stopped worrying about it. The political commissar was right, Gao Hongming The equipment sent out was not just for him alone, if the sky fell and there was a tall man supporting him, why was he in a hurry.

The topography of Shanxi is relatively complex, with mountains, hills, plateaus, basins, platforms and other landform types in the territory.Mountains and hills account for more than two-thirds of the total area, most of which are between 1000 and 2000 meters above sea level.From the perspective of terrain, it is a high platform composed of many complex mountains.

Because of the extremely complex terrain in Shanxi and the poor road conditions these years, it is not very suitable for mechanized troops to operate.

Since the armored battalion formed by Gao Hongming was established, the combat experience of the soldiers in the armored battalion can only be said to be average, but the skills of tank maintenance have improved by leaps and bounds.

The light rain in the sky is still falling, and the weather in September has begun to be a little cold. Although Huang Jianhua is wearing a raincoat and a pair of cowhide boots, he still feels the chill and keeps burrowing into his body.

Beside a muddy road, a gray No. [-] tank was leaning against the side of the road motionless. Underneath it, Qiu Youcai, who was dressed in mud, was busy busy under the tank. Ding dong knocking sound.

Huang Jianhua squatted next to the tank, and asked anxiously: "Qiu Youcai... how did you check beforehand, how did our fourth master lie down so well?"

"I do not know either."

Qiu Youcai said very aggrieved: "Boss, I don't know what's going on. I checked it yesterday, and it was fine at first, but when the fourth master was driving, he suddenly lost his temper and stopped moving. I also There is no way?"

"You kid still dare to talk stubbornly." Huang Jianhua stared, raised his hand in a punching gesture, "Do you know, because you didn't do a good job of checking in advance, we are almost half an hour behind now, if If you can't join the main force later, you see how I will deal with you!"

Qiu Youcai shrank his neck and dared not speak. Although Huang Jianhua was usually very talkative, his temper would immediately become irritable when he was on the battlefield.

After a while, Qiu Youcai tightened the last screw, and then crawled out from under the tank. Regardless of the oil and mud on his body, he quickly got into the cab and pressed the button.

"Kakaka...Boom boom boom..."

With two puffs of thick smoke blowing out from the two exhaust pipes at the rear, the two fourth masters who had been on strike for several hours finally started.

Seeing this, Huang Jianhua hurriedly greeted Sun Youfu, the loader, and the correspondent who were still smoking, "What are you guys still doing, the tank has been repaired, get in the car!"

Hearing Huang Jianhua's greeting, several other people quickly threw away their cigarette butts and climbed onto the tank. Soon the tank let out a roar and began to move slowly along the road.

Sun Youfu, nicknamed Tu Xingsun, took off his raincoat, found a dry towel and wiped it, and asked Huang Jianhua, "Boss, we have been away from the main force for more than half an hour. If we want to catch up with them, we need to speed up, but It’s getting dark now, it’s dangerous to continue driving, shall we continue to catch up?”

For people of later generations, driving at night is a very common thing, and even some drivers prefer to drive at night because there are few vehicles at night.

But in this era, especially during the war, driving at night is not a good job. Enemy situations and ambushes that may appear at any time on rugged and narrow roads are fatal to armored soldiers.

Moreover, because it is driving at night, various risk factors have also been added to the maximum. Not to mention that the sight is unclear and easy to overturn the car. Tanks pose a huge threat.

So when Sun Youfu asked this question, Huang Jianhua was silent, and after a while he said: "Speed ​​up first, it's not too late to stop after dark."

Hearing this, all the members in the tank fell silent, the driver Qiu Youcai stepped up the accelerator, and the tank accelerated.

"Little Ma...can't contact the battalion now?"

"No?" The communicator shook his head. The Fu5 vehicle-mounted radio equipped on the No. [-] tank has an effective communication distance of only ten kilometers, but that is only the communication distance in plains or under ideal conditions.

If you are in a mountainous area or in bad weather, the communication distance should be shortened by at least half or even two-thirds.

Huang Jianhua was silent for a while, "It doesn't matter, keep going, wait until it gets dark, how far you can go now is as far as you can go."

Accompanied by Huang Jianhua's words, the tank suddenly let out a roar, and two thick black smoke suddenly spewed out from the two exhaust pipes behind its buttocks, accelerating its speed.

After driving for another hour, the sky darkened. Facing the dark night sky, Qiu Youcai had no choice but to park the tank on the side of the road.

Some people say, don't tanks have headlights, why don't they go with the lights on.

Sorry, if you are on a road with good road conditions or an endless prairie, it is no problem to turn on the headlights, but walking at night in such a rugged and narrow place with a cliff on one side is courting death. Be careful, Huang Jianhua's five tank members have to fall into the cliff hundreds of meters deep with this 20-ton tank.

After parking and turning off the engine, he checked the condition of the car again, and then Qiu Youcai got into the tank again, covered all the hatches and prepared to rest.

With the help of the light from a small light bulb inside the tank, Huang Jianhua took out a small box and turned it on.

This is a C ration for five people, including five biscuits, three pieces of sugar, a piece of chocolate fudge, a small can of instant coffee, and a piece of stewed vegetables (the main ingredients are beef, pork, potatoes, carrots, peas, etc.) a pot of stew), there is also a roll of toilet paper, two pieces of chewing gum, a can opener, a bottle of 12-pack water purification tablets, a bottle of 4-piece salt, a pack of 9 cigarettes .

The above is the dinner of these armored soldiers.

The five of them ate with relish under the dim light. Qiu Youcai ate the fastest, and quickly finished his share. After eating, he licked the empty box reluctantly, opened He burped and patted his stomach in satisfaction.

"Head, do you know that one of the most satisfying things I have done in my life is to join our Liantai militia. I didn't even dare to dream about the current day. Not only can I receive five oceans a month, You can still eat meat every day, even if you give it to a god, you won't change it."

"That is!"

Speaking of this, Sun Youfu also said: "In our hometown in Shandong, even the landlord's house can't eat meat every day. I didn't expect that we big soldiers can eat meat every day here. How many seats do we have? Money."

"I don't know about this, but I have heard that our group in Liantai County has thousands of acres of land and dozens of shops, and we are always rich." Sun Youfu also finished his share , while drinking water from a cup, said, "It would be even better if I could go out and use a kerosene stove to boil hot water and have a cup of coffee now."

Huang Jianhua rolled his eyes at him: "If you want to die, just say so, I will help you, don't bother others."

"Hey... I'm just joking." Sun Youfu smiled sarcastically, and didn't dare to say anything.

At this time, the rain was getting heavier and heavier, and the raindrops the size of soybeans hit the tank with crackling sounds. Under such circumstances, it was easy to feel as if there were only a few of them left in the whole world.

Hearing the sound of the rain outside, Qiu Youcai showed a sad expression on his face, "God damn it, if this rain continues like this, let's not talk about hurrying, I'm afraid we will be stuck here."

Huang Jianhua didn't speak, just took out cigarettes silently, distributed one to each person, lit it with a match, and a thin wisp of thick smoke began to float in Tucker's narrow cabin...

However, Sun Youfu's worries did not arise. In the middle of the night, the rain finally stopped.

The next day, when the sky was just getting brighter, Huang Jianhua pushed open the top cover of the tank and got out. A gust of fresh air immediately entered his nostrils. He took a deep breath, climbed out of the tank in twos and walked to the side of the road. He released the aged yellow soup that had been simmering all night, and walked to the side of the road, picked up a stone and beat it on the hatch cover.

After a few clicks, four sleepy-eyed men emerged from the tank, stretching their waists while releasing water.

Looking at these listless guys, Huang Jianhua said loudly: "Okay, cheer up and hurry up. We must catch up with the big troops today, otherwise we will have to walk back when the tank runs out of gas."

Thinking of the terrible fate of the tank running out of fuel, these armored soldiers all shivered, and quickly lifted their pants and got into the tank. Soon two puffs of thick smoke came out from the tank's buttocks, and they walked along the road soon...

When Huang Jianhua and the others were chasing the large troops, the armored battalion they were chasing was quietly lurking in a canyon, and Li Changan, the battalion commander, was invited to attend a pre-war meeting.

There were only two main participants in this meeting, namely Li Changan and Ding Wei, the head of the Xinyi Regiment, and of course the chief of staff of the Xinyi Regiment and several battalion commanders.

For Li Changan, the battalion commander, Ding Wei seemed very enthusiastic. He not only told him the battle plan, but also asked for his opinion.

"Li Battalion Commander, we are now in the south of Dulong Ridge. My plan is to deploy our new regiment on both sides of Dulong Ridge. When the devil's reinforcements arrive, we will launch an attack at lightning speed. Your battalion is rushing in from the front, trying to disrupt the camp of the devils, and then we will reasonably eat the reinforcements of the devils, what do you think?"

Li Changan pondered for a while, then slowly shook his head, "Mr. Ding, I don't think your method is very appropriate."

"Oh... what do you think is wrong."

Although Ding Wei remained calm, the faces of the battalion commanders behind him showed displeasure. Our regimental commander kindly invited you to attend the pre-station meeting, which is a respect for you. How dare you propose to the regimental commander's battle plan? Question, isn't this too ignorant of flattery?
Li Changan didn't seem to see the faces of these battalion commanders, and said slowly: "Commander Ding, I know that you are a very experienced and capable officer, but I'm afraid you don't know much about how to use armored forces. To understanding."

"Li Battalion Commander...you..."

Ding Wei stopped an angry battalion commander behind him, "Battlemaster Li, please continue, I, Ding Wei, would like to hear more about it."

Li Chang'an said solemnly: "Mr. Ding may not know something. The most suitable battlefield for our armored forces is the open plain area. The most taboo is to fight the enemy on the steep and rugged terrain, because this will not only fail to exert the combat effectiveness of the tank, but will also increase the combat effectiveness of the tank." Expand our shortcomings infinitely!"
