Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    In a group of busy soldiers, the sudden appearance of a major general definitely gave people the feeling of standing out from the crowd, which was enough to make these ordinary soldiers dizzy. Not only the soldiers, but also all the officers of the third baggage regiment, including the colonel commander, were there.  Inside, everyone felt a little unbelievable. How could a major general suddenly parachute into the logistics unit and become a deputy battalion commander at the level of major or captain? It was said that the appointment letter was signed by the division commander himself.

    Not only was everyone in the third baggage regiment confused, but even the chief supervisor of the baggage force, Colonel Song Wenhai, director of the division's baggage department, was dizzy for a while. Song Wenhai naturally knew Liu Hongzhang's identity, and he was independent.  The major general commander of the first mechanized infantry brigade of the corps directly under the division can be said to be the number one boss of all brigade-level units in the entire independent division. Isn¡¯t he famous?

    Song Wenhai also knew that the division commander was punishing Liu Hongzhang in disguise, but putting such a great god in the baggage bag seemed too small. He also secretly asked Chief of Staff Zhao Yuhe and Major General, but Chief of Staff Zhao  He was vague and said, "It's the division commander's wish that Brigadier Liu be transferred to your baggage department. Just arrange the work as normal!"

    Having said that, with such a great master in the baggage department, he is definitely under a lot of pressure. Moreover, Chief of Staff Zhao's words also make people confused. The No. 1 and No. 2 officers of the Logistics Department, as well as the director, Lieutenant General Zhang Quan, are sitting in the east.  In India, I was very busy doing business with the British and Americans, counting a lot of gold and silver.

    Vice Minister Major General Zhou Yushan returned to Kunming after the Second Outer Mongolia War to take charge of the independent division troops stationed in Indochina. He went to the rear base in Kunming and had no time to take care of the baggage and no one asked for instructions.

    therefore.  When the leader of the third baggage regiment looked sad and came to ask for advice, Song Wenhai sipped his teeth for a long time and said according to his own understanding: "Don't act like a disaster is imminent. Brigadier Liu must be at our baggage station.  I won¡¯t be able to stay for long. Maybe one day, the division commander will give me an order to reinstate him. Let¡¯s go to the first battalion and assume the title of deputy battalion commander!¡±

    The face of the leader of the third baggage regiment is not very good-looking, and the reason is very simple.  A major general and deputy battalion commander gives me a headache just thinking about it.  Just about to leave.  Song Wenhai stopped him again, "Wait a minute! Regarding Brigadier Liu's work, don't arrange specific matters, let alone restrict his actions. In a word, he can do whatever he likes! As long as it doesn't go too far.  Just do it!¡±

    Ever since.  The dignified Brigadier Liu Da has become the most laid-back Major General and Deputy Battalion Commander among all the troops in the Independent Division.  Liu Hongzhang is a restless person. Just over a day after arriving at the Third Baggage Regiment, he consciously performed his duties as deputy battalion commander. It seemed that his demotion from brigade commander to deputy battalion commander did not affect his mood at all.

    In fact, Liu Hongzhang is also holding back a lot of energy in his heart. Until now, he is still not convinced. Why did the teacher treat him like this? Well, I, Liu Hongzhang, am not someone who can't take up or let go. I'm not on the front line.  The army, in the logistics force, was not the brigade commander but the deputy battalion commander, and still did a great job. However, he did not think that it was a wrong decision for him to order the troops to counterattack!

    Song Wenhai, the director of the baggage department, received a request from Chu Ziye, commander of the Fourth Mechanized Infantry Brigade, to compensate for ammunition. Moreover, despite the threatening telegram, he did not dare to neglect and issued the order to the third baggage regiment, although it took an hour.  I was nervous enough, but as long as I didn't delay on the way, I could still arrive on time. I didn't want to be scolded by these brigade commanders, so when assigning the task, Song Wenhai also emphasized the urgency of the task.

    The 1st Battalion of the 3rd Baggage Regiment is an automobile battalion, specially responsible for transporting ammunition and supplies to the frontline troops. There are six companies in total, four automobile companies and two armed escort companies. Unfortunately, due to the fierce fighting on the frontline, each company has  The troops consume a lot of ammunition. An hour ago, a battalion commander led two car companies and an armed escort company to deliver ammunition to the troops. There was still half of the troops in the battalion.

    The commander of the third regiment of the supply chain put down Song Wenhai's phone and hesitated for a while. This mission must belong to the first battalion. The other battalions in the regiment had all gone to perform their tasks. After going around in a circle, the commander of the third regiment decided to go hard.  Go and see the Major General, Deputy Battalion Commander Liu, and explain the mission face to face!

    When they arrived at the First Battalion's station, more than 60 trucks were loaded with ammunition and ready to go. What the regiment leader couldn't understand was that one of the two trucks was loaded with more than 30 mortars.  The other vehicle is equipped with more than 40 light and heavy machine guns. All the weapons are not in the box. They have been wiped off with gun oil and gun oil. The magazines are filled with bullets. Once the trigger is pulled, they can fire.  , the mortar is ready for shelling at any time.

    I found a company commander and asked carefully, and then I realized that it was the order from the major general and deputy battalion commander. The soldiers didn't know why?  Anyway, just execute the order!

    The commander of the third regiment had to deal with the deputy battalion commander, Major General, and hurriedly walked to Liu Hongzhang.In front of him, Deputy Battalion Commander Liu had a general star on his shoulder patch. In front of the ammunition depot, under the bright light, his eyes were dazzled. For a moment, he really didn¡¯t know what to call him, so he just called him Deputy Battalion Liu.  Commander, it's definitely not appropriate. Let's call him Brigadier Liu. His position is deputy battalion commander, and it's an order personally given by the division commander. Besides, who salutes first?

    Fortunately, Liu Hongzhang broke the awkward situation. He took a step forward and touched his heels with a standard military salute. His loud voice was as loud as ever, "Report to the commander of the regiment, Liu Hongzhang, deputy commander of the 1st Battalion, is ready.  Wait for the commander¡¯s order and we can set off immediately!¡±

    "This -! That -! What is that! Ah, haha! Liu -?" The third regiment leader hurriedly returned the salute. He simply didn't know what to call him, and he mumbled haha ??in his mouth.

    Liu Hongzhang was cheerful and said: "Captain, I am your subordinate now, just call me my job title. If you feel uncomfortable, call me Liu Hongzhang or Lao Liu Ducheng!"

    The third regiment commander also kept his composure, but Liu Hongzhang or Lao Liu didn't have the courage yet. He said seriously: "Deputy Battalion Commander Liu, the mission has been clearly explained on the phone. We only have one hour."  time, the fourth brigade continues to ammo, this operation will be under your full command!"

    Liu Hongzhang said simply: "Yes, commander, the first battalion promises to complete the task of transporting ammunition to the frontline troops!" After saluting, "Everyone get in the car and set off immediately!" He shouted at the top of his voice!

    Just as Liu Hongzhang was about to get into the cab of the truck, the third regiment commander pulled him and asked in a low voice: "Deputy Battalion Commander Liu, why are there mortars and light and heavy machine guns installed in the two vehicles? What is urgently needed on the front line is  Ammunition, not equipment!¡±

    Liu Hongzhang looked at his immediate boss as if he were an adult and asked himself, "What is 1+1?" He was stunned for a moment at the absurdity of such a simple question. When he saw the serious expression on his head's face, he sighed as he humbly asked for advice.  In a simple tone, he explained: "The rapid consumption of ammunition proves that the battle is very fierce. Correspondingly, the damage rate of the equipment is also high! I am bringing replacement equipment to the fourth brigade!"

    "After a big battle, the damage rate of equipment is not small. Without equipment, it's useless no matter how much ammunition you have!" He said seriously, "When I was in the field army, after every battle, the equipment was eliminated at a rate of  More than ten percent, especially small-caliber light artillery such as infantry weapons and mortars, don¡¯t you know?¡± This last sentence is full of incredible questions!

    The commander of the third regiment really didn¡¯t know that after years of construction, the independent division¡¯s logistics system has formed a complete operational process, each with its own division of labor. For example, the baggage department under the Logistics Department is responsible for transporting the frontline troops according to the needs of the frontline troops.  Ammunition, equipment, supplies, and damaged equipment are the business scope of the weapons repair office and field emergency repair institute. The development of new equipment is the business of the Dingbian Military Industry Bureau and the Special Equipment Research Institute.

    The commander of the third regiment paused and said vaguely: "As expected of the field troops, Deputy Battalion Commander Liu is really an expert. Let's set off without delaying you!"

    Liu Hongzhang closed the car door vigorously, waved his hand, "Let's go!" Amidst the roar of guns and cannons, the convoy drove into the vast night.

    From Liu Hongzhang¡¯s heart, he really didn¡¯t want to go to deliver ammunition to Chu Ziye¡¯s Fourth Brigade. Why? What should he say when he saw Chu Ziye¡¯s face?  With Chu's foul mouth, he knew that he was now the deputy battalion commander, or the deputy battalion commander of the logistics force. What kind of unpleasant sarcastic words might be waiting for him?

    But this was an order, and there was no other commander to lead the first battalion. Liu Hongzhang knew that the frontline troops were short of ammunition, so he could only bite the bullet and lead the convoy up. He had already made a secret plan in his mind.  , said, "Because it will take some time for the ammunition truck at the baggage station to arrive. I received the order from the division commander, and I dug out so many from the few families in the first brigade."

    "This is all for the sake of our old comrades. Otherwise, if we don't even have this little ammunition, then the army's ammunition won't be tight for such a large-scale battle? No matter what happens, let the big man Chu owe a favor first!"  "

    At this time, the battlefield has become a mess. The area outside Minusinsk, with a radius of more than 300 to 400 kilometers, is full of scenes of fierce fighting, especially between the 7th Brigade, the 8th Brigade and the 6th Tank Brigade.  Brigade, the battlefield to divide, encircle and annihilate the Soviet Third Army was the most chaotic.

    Although the Soviet Third Army had been beaten like a frightened bird, with more than half of the casualties, the remaining troops numbered more than 30,000, and the 7th and 8th brigades that encircled and annihilated the Soviet Army had a total strength of only 40,000.  It is obviously unrealistic to rush all the Soviet troops together to encircle and annihilate them. The only option is to surround one group and eat them all, while other Soviet troops temporarily adopt the strategy of encircling without attacking.

    Inevitably, a weak encirclement will have more loopholes.?The scattered Soviet troops were running around aimlessly. Where the sound of artillery and gunfire was the sparsest, they instinctively broke out in which direction.
