Rebirth from the Ashes: Rebuilding the Red Soviet Area

A battle started in the evening and lasted until six o'clock the next morning.

The war slowly calmed down

When Li Yan, Commander Qiu, Director Fang, Captain Liu, Su Shan and others watched the rising sun

I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief

Li Yan smiled

He said to the crowd: "Thanks to everyone's concerted efforts"

"Saved Shanghang"

"Thank you for your hard work."

Everyone laughed too.

Captain Liu said: "Commander Li"

“This battle was so exciting.”

"That's the 88th Division, the ace unit of the National Army."

“We actually beat him to death.”

“I can’t even imagine it.”

"Ha ha"

“So many weapons left”

“We’ve made a fortune this time.”

Director Fang kicked Captain Liu on the butt

He said unhappily: "Look at you, you are so useless."

"If Commander Li hadn't returned early..."

"The 88th Division had already entered Shanghang"

Speaking of here

Director Fang asked Li Yan curiously: "Master Li"

"You start from Shanghang and go around the enemy from Longyan."

"It's a full 200 kilometers here."

"Plus you carry artillery."

"How come you arrived in less than three days?"

"And what about the battle last night?"

"How did you manage to cause the 88th Division to collapse so quickly?"

Commander Qiu did not wait for Li Yan to answer

Smiling, he told me about the relay station and Li Yan's deployment yesterday.

Director Fang nodded

Then he asked thoughtfully: "That's not right."

"The national army has tens of thousands of people."

"In addition, Commander Sun of the 88th Division of the National Army is also a rare outstanding general in the National Army."

"Even if you attacked the enemy's artillery positions and supplies"

"I won't let them be defeated so quickly."

Commander Qiu scratched his head

I said embarrassedly: "I don't know either."

"At that time, Commander Li ordered a surprise attack on the enemy's artillery positions and supplies."

“Then we charge forward.”

“The national army was defeated.”

“We didn’t expect it to be that simple.”

Everyone looked at Li Yan with some doubts.

Li Yan smiled and said, "Director Fang is right."

"But if we were facing an ordinary division of the National Army this time..."

"Even if we attacked their artillery positions and supplies"

“As long as they can adjust their deployment quickly”

"With our current firepower and personnel numbers"

"It's hard to say whether this battle will be won or lost."

"But it's because this is the 88th Division of the National Army."

“Everyone knows”

"The 88th Division is the ace unit of the National Army"

"All the cadres above the company level came from Huangpu"

"Participated in the Battle of Shanghai and was equipped with German weapons"

"This unit is the best in China in terms of both command and weaponry."

“But everything will turn into its opposite when it reaches its extreme.”

"The 88th Division is too strong, so they will become arrogant."

“They feel no one dares to confront them head-on.”

“They think I’m the best in the world.”

"But the 88th Division has been attacking Shanghang for three days with all its might."

“None of them were taken.”

“The mentality will become impetuous.”

"In the rush to attack, one will relax his vigilance"

“This gave us the opportunity to launch a surprise attack.”

"In addition, the 88th Division has lost its resilience in the process of arrogance."

"A force without the will to fight"

"No matter how many troops there are or how good their weapons are"

“Once it suffers a major setback, it will collapse in an instant.”

"Everyone think about the Battle of Guandu"

"It means we defeated the 88th Division."

“It’s better to say that they defeated themselves.”

Speaking of this

Everyone nodded thoughtfully

Director Fang couldn't help but sigh: "Since ancient times..."

"Victory in War"

"It is definitely not determined by the advancement of weapons or the number of soldiers."

"Especially the Battle of Guandu"

"It's so similar to this battle scene."

"I didn't know why Commander Li was so good at commanding operations before."

“Today I finally understood”

"Master Li has reached the stage where history is a mirror, revealing the rise and fall of a nation."

"What a handsome talent!"

Everyone was shocked again

Director Fang is a senior political cadre of our D who has been praised many times.

But it's rare to evaluate someone like this.

For a moment, everyone's attention was focused on Li Yan.

Li Yan couldn't help but joked: "Director Fang"

"You are flattering me to death."

Then Li Yan changed the topic

Said: "Although we defeated the 88th Division this time"

"But Shifang Town Liancheng is now on the verge of collapse."

“Can’t hold on for long”

"Let's go back to the headquarters first."

"Let's discuss the next plan"

Everyone knows that the Southwest Fujian Military Region is still in danger.

Ignoring physical fatigue

Upon returning to the headquarters of the Red 24th Division

A meeting was held immediately

Even the old squad leader and Zhang Dong, who were still injured, were carried to the headquarters.

Li Yan didn't stop it either

Said directly: "Comrades"

"Although we dealt a heavy blow to the 88th Division this time,"

“But we are still in danger.”

"Now let's report on the situation of this battle."

Chief of Staff Lu Zhiguo holds a list in his hand

Said: "The data of this Shanghang defense battle has been basically compiled."

"Let me first tell you about the spoils of this battle."

"A total of 4 75mm field guns, 12 mortars, 24 heavy machine guns, 60 light machine guns, and 1000 rifles were seized."

"3 rounds of rifle ammunition, 2 rounds of light machine gun ammunition, 1 rounds of heavy machine gun ammunition, 150 rounds of mortar shells, and 60 rounds of field artillery shells."

"Other supplies such as food, meat, vegetables, bedding, salt, etc. are still being counted."

"In addition, there are more than 10,000 yuan, a radio, 6 pairs of binoculars, and a 30-yuan watch..."

Li Yan nodded after listening

This captured almost one-third of the German-equipped division's equipment.

Just a little less ammunition

This is understandable

The ammunition used by the 88th Division in the attack on Shanghang in the past two days

In addition, the 88th Division's supplies were destroyed last night.

It's not a small amount of ammunition to have so much left.

Li Yan asked: "What are the casualties between the enemy and us this time?"

Lu Zhiguo said: "Although we defeated the 88th Division"

"But we only killed more than 1500 enemies and captured more than 2000."

"The rest fled under cover of darkness."

“As for us”

"A total of more than 1200 people died, 500 were seriously injured, and 800 were slightly injured."

"The 72nd Regiment participated in two sniper attacks"

"Casualties were heavy, with fewer than 400 people left."

Li Yan couldn't help but frowned

Then he said: "Master Qiu"

"What are the casualties among the Second Independent Division and the troops at Meishan?"

Commander Qiu sighed

He said: "Our Second Independent Division also lost more than 500 people this time and 100 were seriously injured."

"As for Meishan's independent regiment and artillery regiment"

"Less than 150 casualties"

Speaking of which

Commander Qiu glanced at Zhang Dong who was lying there.

He said enviously: "I don't know how the troops in Meishan are trained."

“Also a new recruit”

"During this charge, they were faster and more powerful than our Second Independent Division."

“The casualties were minimal”

“Comparing yourself to others can be frustrating.”

After Commander Qiu finished speaking

Director Fang and Captain Liu looked at each other.

At the same time, he looked at Su Shan

This time they also took two battalions of the Independent 1st Division to participate in the defense of Shanghang

But they only defended for one day

Still in the situation where the 72nd Regiment was the main defense

To use their own strength

Can't last 2 hours at all

Don't forget that the 72nd Regiment defended the first line of defense for two days.

Director Fang and Captain Liu became more and more envious the more they thought about it.

But at this time, Su Shan could no longer sit still.

He stood up and said, "Master!"

"I was wrong"
