Chapter 331: Wang Laohu, who recovered Yan'an's returning team

The War of Liberation has been fought for more than two years, and now it has reached the most critical time, and the decisive battle between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party is imminent, and the northwest battlefield is not only a link with the vast northwest region, but also a flank of the decisive battlefield in the east, but the vast territory and sparse population and the lack of food make the northwest battlefield have no conditions for a decisive battle, and there is no need to invest a large number of troops.

When the fighting in other battlefields in the country became more and more tense, Chiang Kai-shek and his Ministry of Defense ordered Hu Zongnan more than once to let him reinforce other battlefields in the country, but each time because of Peng Dehuai's attack and did not succeed.

As long as the Northwest Field Army led by Peng Dehuai was still on that piece of yellow earth, the main military group of the Kuomintang Hu Zongnan would not even be able to cross the Tong Pass.

The course of history has proved that when the Kuomintang and Communist armies were engaged in a strategic decisive battle in North China, Northeast China, Shandong, and the Central Plains, Hu Zongnan's main force was never able to extricate itself from this land, and this was the subtlety of the Northwest Battlefield.

More than 300,000 regular troops equipped with jīng liang were helpless against the more than 20,000 Northwest Field Army with only xiao Miga rifles, but they were beaten and lost their armor, I don't know if it is because Hu Zongnan, a first-term student of Huangpu, is too poor, or our Mr. Peng is too powerful, anyway, this is the truth.

For the large-scale Liberation War, there is no reason to ignore the importance of the Northwest Battlefield, although this is the weakest field army, it is precisely because of their dedication and sacrifice that the whole game of chess played by the Party Central Committee and Chairman Mao throughout the country has come to life.

In Yan'an City, the area where the Independent Regiment was stationed was full of singing and laughter, the cadres and soldiers were congratulating each other, the order of Ye Si and the column was officially issued, and Li Yong and Wang Chengde were undoubtedly promoted from the commander and political commissar of the Independent Regiment to the brigade commander and political commissar of the Independent Brigade.

These veterans who were transferred from the old 2nd Regiment felt the deepest feelings, thinking about the time when the unit was just formed more than a year ago, and then looking at the present, it is no different from a dream.

Some commanders who were familiar with Li Yong and Wang Chengde called one after another to congratulate the troops on the upgrade, such as Brigade Commander Liu of the Ninth Brigade of the Third Column and Brigade Commander Chen Haihan of the Sixth Column Teaching Brigade, as well as the division commander of the cavalry division and the Brigade Commander Guo Peng of the Fifth Brigade of this column.

Not to mention the elders, the head of the old 2nd regiment Zhao even scolded Li Yong and Wang Chengde on the phone for being too fast, how did you do it? One is bigger than his commander, he is still the former regiment commander, and these two Xiaozi are both brigade commanders and political commissars, but although the two of them are big officials, it is not mén to salute when they want him to meet these two Xiaozi.

This is the question of seniority in the army, Li Yong and Wang Chengde no matter how big the official is, what Cheng Cheng the army is upgraded to, they don't dare to let the old 2nd regiment commander Zhao salute, when they meet, they still have to stand up and salute as before, no way, don't look at being a brigade commander and political commissar, but in front of Commander Zhao, they are also recruits, which has nothing to do with how big an official they are.

The level of the troops has been raised, and the problem of soldiers, which had previously troubled everyone, has been satisfactorily solved at once, and there is no longer any problem of too many personnel to be troubled.

The upgrading of the independent regiment to the brigade level of a combat unit made the commander of the second column Wang in a good mood, why? Because the Second Column is the only combat unit in the Northwest Field Army with four main brigades, Commander Wang's waist is naturally much harder than that of other column commanders, and his tone of voice is also very frightening.

When everyone else was immersed in joy, Li Yong was not carried away by joy, it is a good thing that the level of the army is bigger, but the responsibility to be borne by the level of the first level should also be greater.

In the future, once there are combat missions again, Commander Wang and the party committees of the column and field army will use the strength of a brigade to demand tasks for themselves or for their own troops, and whether or not this unit, which is immersed in joy, can fulfill the requirements of its superiors has not yet been tested by practice.

It is normal for comrades to be happy when the level of the unit has just been raised, but as a brigade commander, he must not be confused; he must be sober and sober, because there are many problems to be solved and many things to be done in the unit, and every point and failure to do so will affect the combat effectiveness of the unit and its future development.

The expansion of the Independent Regiment (now called the Independent Brigade) to this Cheng dù initially achieved Li Yong's goal, and some of the ideas that Li Yong wanted to realize could also be waved to the maximum extent in this special unit, and at the party committee held by the brigade, Li Yong announced his intentions and ideas.

The independent regiment has been expanded to a combat unit at the brigade level, and it stands to reason that the battalions below will also be upgraded to regiments, but what Li Yong told everyone at the meeting is that the establishment of the troops remains the same as before, with nine battalions plus several companies directly under the brigade headquarters, but the personnel of each battalion has increased.

The personnel of each battalion have exceeded 800 people, and they have reached the state of full strength that Li Yong originally envisioned, but this is the case, the personnel that can be incorporated in the whole brigade are only more than 8,000 people, and there are still more than 1,000 people who cannot be arranged.

Li Yong did not do this, and did not increase the personnel of each battalion, but reorganized the extra 1,000 people into a supplementary battalion, which was managed by the baggage battalion in peacetime to help the baggage battalion manage all kinds of weapons, ammunition, and materials for the whole brigade.

Li Yong also had his own idea in doing this, and if he wanted to maintain the combat effectiveness of the troops, he had to do his best to keep the troops at full strength, but under the circumstances at that time, the Northwest Field Army did not have such a strong national defense mobilization capability, and the population in the northwest region was insufficient.

It is possible that at the beginning of the battle, the combat effectiveness of the troops is very strong, and after a period of attrition, the strength of the troops can be greatly reduced, and the commander's determination will be limited.

With this supplementary battalion of more than 1,000 people, Li Yong will be able to make each combat battalion of the independent brigade at full strength at any time, and as soon as there is a task, it can be dispatched immediately, and the level of the dispatched troops will be determined according to the size of the task.

A small task can be done by one battalion, two or three battalions can be dispatched for a larger mission, and the whole brigade will be dispatched if a few battalions cannot solve it.

The eight captured Stuart tanks were not independently formed, but were organized into two tank platoons, each with four vehicles, under the jurisdiction of the brigade headquarters guard company, that is, Li Yùming's guard company has now expanded to five platoons, namely two guard platoons, two tank platoons, and a relatively independent communications platoon, with more than 200 personnel.

The personnel of the repair company and the engineer company directly under the brigade headquarters have also been greatly expanded, and Li Yong's request to Sanniu and Xiaocheng is that they must fully perform the functions of their own company, and the engineer company must ensure that they take the lead in every battle, open roads in every mountain, and build bridges when encountering water, so as to clear the obstacles on the road of advance for the main force of the brigade.

Li Yong told this young guard that the repair company should not only be able to repair ordinary guns and ammunition, but also learn to repair cars and artillery, and now it must also be able to repair tanks that have just been captured, and finally reach the ability to repair all the weapons and equipment of the independent brigade independently, providing a prerequisite for the guarantee of the combat effectiveness of the troops.

Sanniu and Xiao Cheng, two veteran soldiers who have not yet reached the age of twenty, have experienced many major battles, and they have long lost the freshness they had when they first joined the army, and their every move is quite the demeanor of a commander, they stood in front of their chief and said that as long as they still have a breath, they will do their job well, and let Li Yong see their future appearance.

There is also good news that the veterans who were wounded in the last battle have basically recovered and will be able to return to the team soon, which makes Li Yong and Wang Chengde even more happy, they are worried that there are too few commanders in the army, but they did not expect that Tian Yīn will immediately send umbrellas, and this time the big problem can be solved, so that these veterans who have full combat experience and are loyal to the troops can serve as squad leaders, deputy squad leaders, platoon commanders, and deputy platoon commanders in the troops, and the combat effectiveness of the troops can be directly improved.

Wang Laohu, the old battalion commander of the fifth battalion, also returned, and more than 20 veterans from the beginning of the independent regiment drove more than a dozen jeeps and picked him up like a baby, and Wang Laohu, G, was a little embarrassed.

This scene made some of the soldiers who later joined the army wonder, and asked the old soldiers what kind of character this was, so that the brigade commander and the political commissar and the commanders of these battalions could pick it up together.

The old soldier who knew the details said: "You don't understand this, the one who came back is called Wang Laohu, the old battalion commander of the fifth battalion of our brigade, he was injured some time ago, isn't it, he came back from his injury." ”

The new soldier was still a little unconvinced and said: "Even if he is good, then it won't be that all these main leaders in the brigade will pick it up, it's a bit too grand, right?" ”

The old soldier knocked him on the head: "Silly xiaozi, don't if you don't understand, what kind of person is Wang Laohu, he is an old soldier when our brigade was first established, he is a first-class old man, He Cui is strong enough and ruthless, but he has to follow the comparison, and Wang Laohu is no different from a wild girl." ”

Wang Laohu is fatter, whiter than before, and it is impossible not to be white in the hospital, He Cui was the first to rush up from afar, holding Wang Laohu's hand is looking left and right, and while looking at it, he said that this is still not the tiger brother before.
