After the Duli Brigade set out from Qamdo, it took a whole day, and the result calculated by the chief of staff and his people was that the troops, which had fully realized the mechanized march, had only traveled 200 kilometers, that is, the speed of the cars in the plateau area was only about 20 kilometers, which was almost no different from a snail.

However, this is already very good, the tanks and heavy artillery that Li Yong is most concerned about are all smooth, and there is not a single accident of overturning the car and the cannon, and there are no casualties.

This is still the result of Xiao Cheng and Zhou Daxing leading the vanguard to open the way in front, without the efforts of the engineer company, such a speed can not be reached, Li Yong and Wang Chengde are psychologically prepared, the physical and equipment consumption of the engineers will be greater and greater, and the speed in the later stage may be slower.

Brigade commander Li Yong is not only concerned about these problems on the march, the troops camping at night are jubilant, the tents are stretching into patches, and the soldiers are eating, drinking, laughing, and laughing, but Li Yong's face has a trace of worry, and the two commanders of the Duli Brigade quietly discuss the problem together:

"I thought about it a little, but it's not mature enough, you add it to me." Li Yong said a little bit of his thoughts.

"I just went to a baggage camp, and called Sun Quanhou, He Cuihua and Lao Yang together for a small meeting, according to the estimation of several of them, there is no problem with the food and material support of our brigade for two or three months, and it will depend on our performance at that time in two or three months."

A few days before his departure, Li Yong made a special effort to take care of the logistics department, even if he brought less ammunition, he must bring enough daily necessities necessary for the troops, the more the better, and he brought whatever he wanted, and if he didn't have it, he would use the money to buy it, and it didn't matter how much money he spent.

As the commander of the first brigade, Li Yong would rather bring less ammunition than load more daily necessities. It can be seen that Brigade Commander Li attaches great importance to logistics, you must know that the Duli Brigade is a combat unit, and there are many unknown dangers waiting for them, and entering Tibet is not tourism.

Li Yong was sure that the entire strength of the Tibetan army was only a dozen daiben and some improvised militias, most of which had been completely wiped out in Qamdo, and what remained in the Lhasa area was a few daiben regiments with poor combat effectiveness, all of which together were only a few thousand, and the Duli brigade was fully capable of suppressing or destroying them.

Been a brigade commander for a while. Li Yong has a good habit of making a serious summary after every battle or battle, summing up the gains and losses in the battle, seeing if he can find a better way, and making a summary every time he finishes it. Li Yongdu has a deeper understanding of strategy and tactics, and he admires the strategic principle even more. That is. The battle of Qamdo was won on the basis of this theory, rather than competing with the enemy for the gains or losses of one city or one place, but mainly for destroying the enemy's living forces.

Before the campaign was launched, the higher authorities did not issue an order to seize Qamdo, but sent a detachment of partial divisions to bypass the great northwest to block the rear road of the Tibetan army, and then launch an attack after the interspersed troops had reached the predetermined area. The purpose of this is to wipe out all the forces sent by the Tibetan army to live in the vicinity of Qamdo, so that not a single soldier can escape back to Lhasa, and the attack on Qamdo is just a hand-to-hand move, and the real purpose of the higher authorities is still Lhasa.

The results are displayed. The decision of the field army and the Southwest Military Region was very correct, and the PLA completely annihilated the main force of the Tibetan army on the front line of the Jinsha River, and Qamdo became an undefended city, and Lhasa, which was more than 1,000 kilometers away, had no troops to adjust.

The victory in the Battle of Qamdo created extremely favorable conditions for the Duli Brigade to be stationed in Lhasa and other Tibetan areas, and it was precisely because of such conditions that Li Yong had the confidence that his troops would rather bring less ammunition and more food.

However, according to the estimates of Sun Quanhou and He Cuihua, the troops could only hold out for two to three months after arriving in Lhasa.

There is no doubt that the superiors will definitely try their best to supply the Duli Brigade and other troops entering Tibet, but the real problem is that even if the superiors try their best to supply the troops in Tibet, it is impossible for the supply to arrive on time, so the Duli Brigade still has to rely on itself to find more ways, which is also the experience summed up in the past few years, in the barren northwest, if all the qiē rely on the superiors, then this army will definitely be so poor that it will not even be able to eat.

Political Commissar Wang Chengde is also thinking about this issue, although the higher authorities have not clearly decided how long the Duli Brigade will be stationed in Tibetan areas, but judging from the current situation, the time cannot be short, and the mutual adjustment of troops will be very troublesome and difficult, and it will also bring great pressure to logistics. The superiors will not be so stupid, so the Duli Brigade must be based on the long-term stationing and training in Xizàng, and must be mentally prepared.

One qiē went around again, saying a thousand ways and ten thousand, food is the root and core of all problems, and only with food can we gather troops, and the truth of the ancestors has been verified again.

"I thought about it for a while, if it is not a way, this is not the style of our brigade, it is better for the superiors to have supplies, and if there is no supply for us, we must persevere, and the food of our brigade can still support two to three months, during which the superiors will also allocate a part of the materials to us, and after arriving at the destination, we will find a way to raise a part, as long as our methods and measures are in place, we must be sure to survive the long winter."

Wang Chengde: "Are you saying that we have to take a three-pronged approach, on the one hand, wait for supplies from our superiors, and on the other hand, raise them ourselves, plus our existing reserves, and insist on continuing until the beginning of spring next year?" ”

Li Yong patted Wang Chengde on the shoulder and replied in a tone of little caution: "That's what it means, this is very likely to be the most severe logistical crisis since the establishment of our brigade, and whether we can raise enough food depends on how we work in the Lhasa area." ”

In fact, Li Yong had other thoughts in his heart and did not tell Wang Chengde, it is not an easy thing to raise food locally, the troops entering Tibet are not only a Duli Brigade, but also a large army of the Eighteenth Army, the logistics system of the Eighteenth Army is incomparable with the Duli Brigade, they need food more, the Lhasa area simply cannot support so many troops, if the Duli Brigade raises all the food in this area, what will happen to the main force of the Eighteenth Army? If there is a food shortage in the big army, it will be very terrible.

I don't know what was going on in my head, Wang Chengde, who was often hungry before, sighed and said: "Dayong, I have an idea, you think it will work, starting tomorrow, we will release all the reconnaissance battalions, and while expanding the search area, we must hunt as many wild animals as possible, replenish rations for the troops, and save some of the food that can be stored for a long time." ”

Wang Chengde's head is enlightened, in the past, the most taboo thing for the troops to march was to expose the target before reaching the designated position, so that the opponent had a chance to take advantage of it, but now it is different, the current Duli Brigade, there is no opponent who can compete in the area it passes, and the strength of the Duli Brigade can crush the enemy who dares to attack, with such strength, what are you afraid of exposing the target.

Li Yong laughed: "Yes, just do it, tell the soldiers, you can use any means, you can shoot, as long as you can bring the prey back." ”

A ray of light rose from the horizon in the early morning, the fiery red sun showed half of its face, the breeze blew away the faint white mist, on the empty plateau, the sound of the wake-up call could be heard for more than ten kilometers, and with the arrival of a new day, the camp of the Duli brigade also rejoiced.

The reconnaissance battalion opened its meal half an hour earlier than other battalions and companies, and they had a new mission, and the brigade party committee's order was to bring back the wild animals they saw along the way while expanding the search area.

More than 1,000 soldiers climbed into their cars with a roar, and scattered towards the area where the Duli Traveling Army was going to pass under the leadership of the battalion commander Zhang Jinsong.

A new day began, and one or two sharp gunshots could often be heard not too far around the convoy of the Duli brigade, and the sound of the guns was very clear, the sound of the Tom submachine guns that the fighters were familiar with, and there was no need to ask, it must have been done by the fighters of the reconnaissance battalion.

The actions of the reconnaissance battalion made other battalions and companies envious, and while carrying out reconnaissance missions, they were able to live the addiction of fighting wars and solve some of the food problems for the troops.

A good errand is enviable, for this reason, many people have found Li Yong and Wang Chengde, and want to ask if they can take turns, among which the most cheerful is He Cuihua, the instructor of the baggage camp.

He Cuihua believes that it is the duty of their heavy battalion to solve the food problem for the troops, and it is also the duty of their battalion, so their battalion should send personnel to carry out such a task, and the commander who leads the team is none other than her.

In fact, the last point is He Cuihua's real purpose, from becoming an instructor of the baggage battalion, He Cuihua has very few opportunities to directly participate in the battle to the front line, which makes He Cuihua, who has a heart to make some battles, is very depressed, and she has the same idea as the deputy battalion commander of the baggage battalion Lao Yang, the old and the young get together very temperamentally, the two think that with the strength of the current Duli brigade, it is not realistic to let the baggage battalion go to the front line to directly participate in the battle, that is, to clean up the battlefield after the battle, Now that the opportunity has come, it's okay for the brigade not to let us fight, but can't we not even go hunting?

Li Yong, who was troubled by He Cuihua's trouble, told this belligerent girl that the reconnaissance battalion was carrying out search and reconnaissance missions around the troops, and hunting was just a convenient task, and the troops still had to search as the main purpose.

However, such a reason could not convince He Cuihua, He Cuihua believed that it was right for the reconnaissance battalion to carry out reconnaissance tasks, but could the task of raising food for the troops be handed over to the baggage battalion, so that there would be no delay in both times.
