Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
In order to save a little effort from the reconnaissance battalion at the front of the troops, and to let the troops avoid taking the wrong road, Li Yong assigned a cavalry platoon of Ma Hemuti to Zhang Jinsong.
Ma and Muti left happily with the people, and when they left, they didn't forget to show off to Sanniu and Xiaocheng at the brigade headquarters: "How about it, we are going to the front to fight the bandits, the reconnaissance battalion at the front, you two heroes who have fought a big battle are waiting for good news at the brigade headquarters behind, don't worry, I'll catch a few prisoners for you to see, after the battle, you just need to interrogate the prisoners." ”
Of course, Ma and Mu Ti did it on purpose, this guy made Sanniu and Xiao Cheng angry to death, the two of them found the brigade commander Li Yong and political commissar Wang Chengde to ask for a task, and also asked to go to the front-line combat troops, and also defended with eloquence, we can't let the brother troops look down on us, the repair company and the engineer company can also fight, we have to compete with Ma and Mu Ti guy.
"Nonsense, fighting a war is not a joke, what to do and what to do, it's not time to be a recruit, why don't you have any consciousness at all." Before Li Yong could speak, Xiao Cheng and Sanniu were pointed at by political commissar Wang Chengde and gave Xiong back a stinky training
Xiao Cheng and Sanniu drooped their heads and left, there was no way, they could only watch Ma and Muti make meritorious contributions, it was useless to be anxious, who let us be the logistics troops.
The 10,000-strong troops of the Duli Brigade rushed to the Yiwu area after reinforcing a cavalry battalion of the Fifth Army, and the rumbling tracks and wheels kicked up billowing smoke and dust, and the formation of the troops set off was extremely huge, and the local people ran to the side of the road to watch the excitement after hearing the news, although they did not know why the Duli Brigade had to go out with the whole army, but also understood that the matter must not be small.
Li Yong was anxious, anxious to scratch his heart and liver, and his internal organs were about to catch fire. More than 200 people were surrounded and couldn't get through, although they didn't know what the specific situation of the troops was, but they could estimate with their heels that Hu Qingshan couldn't stand it, and the casualties were not small, who is our Duli Brigade! It is the famous trump card of the whole field army, and it is the heroic unit in the mouth of the people of the northwest. Li Yong, the commander of the first brigade, not only had to consider the lives of the soldiers, but also the honor of the troops, and the sacrifice of his comrade-in-arms, Deputy Division Commander Luo Shaowei, made Li Yong's anger and temper unable to let go in his heart, and a wave of anger burned more and more in his chest.
Urgently. The more detailed the battle plan should be, the better, according to Zhang Jinsong's report. The total strength of the bandits in the Igo region exceeded six thousand. And all of them are cavalry, which brings new difficulties to the extermination of this gang of bandits, with the strong combat effectiveness of the Duli Brigade, as long as Yiwu's Hu Qingshan can still hold on, it is not a problem to break the siege, but the order of the superior is not just to relieve the siege of Yiwu's army. The order from the higher authorities also required the Duli Brigade to wipe out all the bandits besieging Igo as much as possible.
In this way, it will be a big trouble, and the combat effectiveness of the bandits may not be very good, but they also have strengths, and the strength of the bandits is that they are all cavalry. Although the cavalry is not very good at positional warfare and does not have any heavy weapons, its mobility ability is extremely good, that is to say, it is easy for the Duli Brigade to defeat them, but it is difficult to annihilate them all, how to eliminate the bandits' vital force to the greatest extent in the battle, and create conditions for the future battle against bandits, this is the problem that Li Yong, as the commander of the first brigade, has to consider at present.
More than 6,000 cavalry (the casualties inflicted by Hu Qingshan and the two platoons of the first battalion on the bandits are not yet known in the brigade, and the actual number of bandits in the Yiwu area is currently more than 5,000), it is very likely that they will be defeated in a single blow in the battle with the Duli brigade.
The speed of the retreat of the four cavalry was quite fast, how to catch and destroy them, Li Yong in the jeep frowned and couldn't help thinking.
Just when Li Yong's brain kept thinking, the reconnaissance unit of the forward reported the situation uninterruptedly, the reconnaissance battalion was the tip of the knife of the whole brigade, and a reconnaissance platoon of Ning Erzi and a cavalry platoon of Ma Hemuti became the sharp knives of the reconnaissance battalion, which was the tip of the knife.
Ning Erzi's reconnaissance platoon had more than 100 people, all of them were clever young men, more than a dozen open-top jeeps were galloping briskly, the cries of the engines and motors were even and powerful, and next to them were closely followed by a cavalry platoon of Ma and Muti, and more than forty war horses did not seem to be slower than jeeps at all.
The task of these two platoons is not only to lead the way, but also to reconnoiter the geographical terrain of this area to see if it can affect the passage of large troops.
It seemed that the fears of the warriors were unnecessary, half a day passed, a day passed, and at night there was no sign of any bandits, when an order came from behind to stop advancing.
Ma Hemuti asked Ning Erzi beside him, "Erzi, why did you stop moving forward, can you walk for a few more minutes before the sky is completely dark?" ”
Ning Erzi is now a platoon commander, and he is still a very prestigious platoon commander, a large reconnaissance platoon of more than 100 people, and the soldiers under him don't dare to call him a nickname like Erzi, because he often goes to the brigade headquarters to go on errands, so he is also very familiar with Ma and Muti, and this guy is also called Ning Erzi's nickname like a big brother with the title of Li Yong and Wang Chengde.
Ning Erzi didn't think about what Ma and Mu Ti called him, he replied with a smile: "What are you in a hurry, I think the brigade commander ordered the troops to stop advancing because we are going to have dinner, and today's dinner is earlier than before, I estimate that we will have to leave after eating, you will have to suffer." ”
Ning Erzi was very familiar with the marching routines and habits of the Duli Brigade, and as he said, the Duli Brigade after dinner did not camp on the spot according to the old habit before, but continued to move forward in the dark.
The march of the troops slowed down, but fortunately there was a cavalry battalion full of locals accompanying them, and they were not afraid of getting lost, and they could walk a little more.
It was completely dark, the headlights of cars and tanks were all lit up, and the desolate Gobi steppe seemed to suddenly appear bright lights, and the scene was extremely spectacular.
The long dragon-like team is moving forward, and the soldiers on the car are very proud, looking at the team of our Duli brigade, what bandits can be opponents in such a formation.
For the first time, the cavalry battalion attached to it marched with the Duli Brigade, and they were also shocked by the grand scene, and they all knew that the soldiers of the Duli Brigade were very arrogant in their words and actions, and they did not take any bandits in their eyes, and it seemed that they did have this capital.
Political commissar Wang Chengde knew what Li Yong was thinking, and he was also anxious about the safety of the Yiwu soldiers, but he had to be patient to persuade: "Dayong, the speed of the troops can't be too fast, and they can't drag the troops too tired because of the march, in addition, we also have to consider the feelings of the cavalry battalion, the war horses can't compare to the cars, and the long-distance march is a test for them." ”
The Duli Brigade marched day and night at the maximum speed it could reach, carrying all the technical equipment, and killed the Yiwu region like crazy, and the brigade commander Li Yong was worried about the besieged soldiers, and he wanted to grow wings and fly over.
In this way, after several days of non-stop marching, the brigade of the Duli Brigade finally arrived near the county seat of Yiwu, and at noon that day, the two top platoons placed at the front of the team reported the situation.
Ning Erzi ran over with Ma and Muti, and the two top platoon commanders stood together to salute Li Yong and Wang Chengde and report what they had learned.
"Report to the brigade commander, report to the political commissar, about five kilometers in front of our army is the county seat of Yiwu, according to our reconnaissance, so far, the county town is still in our hands, and there are gunshots and grenade explosions in the city from time to time, it can be inferred that our garrison is still fighting with bandits."
Li Yong and Wang Chengde breathed a sigh of relief, it was quite timely, and they finally arrived, it was not easy, calculated from the disappearance of two more platoon fighters in a battalion, they had not been in contact with their superiors for more than 40 days, more than 40 days, under the siege of dozens of bandits, I really don't know how they persevered, the soldiers guarding Yiwu are all heroes, real heroes.
Now is not the time to sigh, after listening to the detailed reports of Ning Erzi and Ma Hemuti, Li Yong shouted and gave a combat order:
The 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th battalions were ordered to make a detour to the bandits' flanks and rear and arrive at the combat area after half an hour, and once the battle began, not a single enemy was allowed to escape.
Order, heavy artillery battalions, build firing fortifications in situ and prepare for battle.
Ordered, the tank battalion stopped advancing, checked the equipment, prepared for the assault.
The order, the 1st Infantry Battalion, accompanied by the tank battalion, carried out a centripetal attack on the county town of Yiwu.
Orders, reconnaissance battalions, cavalry battalions, to expand the search area, to eliminate all the bandits who fled after the rout of the enemy.
Li Yong's battle plan was to use artillery to prepare for firepower in the early stage, and then use the mixed infantry to attack from the front to crush the enemy, and finally use four infantry battalions to make a big roundabout maneuver to the Yiwu area, forming a large pocket in the combat area as quickly as possible, and striving to load all the bandits besieging Yiwu into it.
This is like forming two encirclements in the Yiwu area, Hu Qingshan and the soldiers in the city are surrounded by bandits, and the bandits are surrounded by the Duli Brigade outside, which has the advantage of eliminating the bandit cavalry with strong mobility to the greatest extent.
The Duli Brigade has a strong family background, with ten battalions, and the cavalry battalion assigned to the Fifth Army before the departure is a monster-like brigade-level combat unit with eleven battalions, with such a unit, Li Yong is confident that he can wipe out all the bandits besieging Yiwu in the battle.
