The Fifth Corps of the Kuomintang Pei Changhui resorted to mixed tactics, attacked for three days and three nights, paid a huge price, and finally occupied the empty position in the Qishan area. To read the latest chapters, please lock the biquge.info of Aishang Novels

Outside Qishan City, Pei Changhui, the commander of the Fifth Corps, was sitting in his headquarters with his eyes closed and thinking about things.

After attacking for three days and three nights, the communist army's position still did not move, the artillery shells had already cut the position down one layer, and even the rats who could dig holes should have been killed, why could the communist troops still hold on?

According to intelligence reconnaissance, it is the fourth column of the communist army that is defending the position, and these four columns are not the most powerful troops in the communist army in the northwest. What should I do?

Suppose things are reversed, what should the defenders do? Which of your own troops can do this? Can you hold out for three days under the superior forces and artillery fire of the opponent?

Pei Chang would think about it and think about it, and he had been thinking about how big his head was, but he didn't think of any troops under his command that could compare with the People's Liberation Army that held their positions.

In the end, the old fox came to a conclusion that he did not want to draw, that the communist army was the most terrible and incomprehensible army in the world, and that their will to fight and spirit could not be explained by ordinary people's thinking.

How should we fight the battle in the future, we have used all the methods we can use, what should we do next, and how should we report to Hu Zongnan and the chairman of the CPPCC National Committee if we cannot break through the defense line of the communist army again.

This point made Pei Changhui guess correctly, the People's Liberation Army in the early days of its establishment had no weapons, no ammunition, no food, nothing, only a strong and unyielding will to fight, and with a tenacious will to fight, it could make any opponent surrender under its feet.

Just as Pei Changhui was sitting in his headquarters and thinking nonsense, someone outside the door finally shouted a report.

The unsuccessful attack over the course of several days made the commander angry, so he forbade anyone to disturb him while he was considering the problem.

The officer who came in touched his heel and said in a cheerful tone: "Commander, our forward troops have broken through the defensive line of the communist army and occupied the position they are holding. ”

Pei Changhui, who was squinting his eyes, stood up suddenly: "What did you say?" Say it again. ”

The officer happily repeated again: "Commander, our forward troops have broken through the PLA defense line and occupied the positions of the communist troops. ”

Pei Changhui slapped the table violently: "Okay, tell the brothers on the front line to be resolute and stubborn to prevent the counterattack of the communist army." ”

This officer saw that the overjoyed commander was about to speak and stopped, Pei Changhui was an old fox who was so clever, and when he saw this officer's expression, he knew that he had something to say: "What's the matter, is there anything else?" Say it. ”

Officer: "Commander, we have occupied the position, but according to the brothers, by the time they go up, the communist troops on the position have already run away, and it is estimated that they have deliberately given up." ”

Pei Changhui glanced at him: "You, you are still too young, if you intentionally give up, it is true that the communist army lost the position, the result we want, as for whether the communist army intentionally gave up, it is not a question we need to consider, report to Commander Hu, and say that our Fifth Corps has broken through the defense of the communist army after hard fighting, and is now advancing to the city of Baoji." ”

Before Pei Changhui's words could land, someone outside the door shouted a report, and then another officer came in, and the officer didn't say a word, just took out a telegram from his purse and handed it to the commander.

Pei Changhui, who still had a smile on his face, took the telegram with his hand, but the face of the commander, who was very happy just now, turned cloudy and gloomy, and then the more he looked at it, the more angry he became, and finally tore the telegram to shreds: "Come on, call the commanders of all divisions and brigades, I want to have a meeting." After saying that, the commander walked out. ”

As soon as Pei Changhui, who was humming in anger, walked out, the officer who came in earlier asked the later: "What's the matter, didn't the troops in front just break through the position of the communist army?" Why is the commander angry again? ”

The officer who came in later sighed: "It is true that we broke through the position of the communist army, but the 82nd Division of the Majia Army from Qinghai has lost the battle, and it is said that it has suffered heavy casualties and has retreated." ”

"Isn't this 82nd Division known as the most capable unit in Qinghai? How did you lose the battle so quickly? The main forces of the communist army are all here, why are they still defeating? It won't be deliberately letting the communist army come over, and then let us gnaw hard bones, right? ”

The officer who came in later said: "The 82nd Division is the old base unit of Ma Bufang, a big warlord, and it should have a certain combat effectiveness, and we don't know what the reason for the defeat was, but they don't dare to do such a thing as deliberately letting the communist army over, okay, let's not guess, you and I have too low ranks, these are not things that our brothers should ask about." ”

The grass-green military tent was full of people, and the officers above the division and brigade level of the Fifth Corps of the Kuomintang Northwest Military Group were gathering together, and Pei Changhui, the commander of the meeting, said in a rare stern tone: "Ladies and gentlemen, I guess you should have heard some things, the 82nd Division of the Ma Jiajun lost the battle and ran away, and the plan of Commander Hu and the chairman of the committee to encircle the communist army in the northwest is almost in vain. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, these people who came to the meeting scolded, shouted, and sighed, and anyway, they all had all kinds of expressions, and they all accused the local warlord troops in Qinghai of being unreliable in fighting the war, and using them to fight against the communist army sometimes delayed big things.

Pei Changhui pressed the somewhat rioted venue with his hand: "Don't panic too much, if they run away, we will also have to deal with the communist army, even if there is no eighty-second division, our strength is stronger than the communist army, everyone has seen the battle in the past few days, our artillery is incomparable to the communist army, the communist army with mud legs has not learned how to practice artillery, we still have armored troops, although there are not many of them, but it is also a great deterrent to the communist army, in addition, We not only have a powerful ground force but also an air force, and Commander Hu has already called that all the planes in Xi'an will take off to help us in the war, and I hope that you will conscientiously control your troops, fight to the death with the communist army, and the opportunity to make contributions to the party and the state is just around the corner. ”

Outside Baoji City, the position of the second column of the Northwest Field Army, the positions built along the mountain are densely packed, and the big bunkers and anti-artillery holes are like cobwebs, and the soldiers are running back and forth, some are wiping guns and bullets, some are holding a book to practice writing, and some are holding a big gun and sitting in the anti-artillery hole to rest.

The Majiashan position, which is about five kilometers outside the city, is the center of the entire defense system of the Second Column and the commanding height of the entire battlefield, and the column headquarters is located here.

At the beginning of the establishment of the headquarters, some people mentioned that this place was too conspicuous, and that once a fight began, it would definitely be the target of the enemy's artillery fire, and it was not appropriate to set up the headquarters here.

But Commander Wang didn't know why he was stubborn, he said: "Where is there an absolutely safe place on the battlefield, and can you fight without dying?" If you want to go home safely and pick up your child, it's not a big deal that he Wang Zhen died, and the headquarters is located in Majiashan. ”

Everyone said that he was crazy and crazy, it was a fallacy, how could the commander continue to fight if he died first?

Commander Wang doesn't care about that, you can criticize whoever you like, I shouldn't listen to it anyway, and then take the big man of the guard to check the deployment of the troops everywhere.

Everyone had no choice but to dig and dig the headquarters of Majiashan under the command of the engineers, and reinforce and reinforce, and finally someone found a thick steel plate in the warehouse in the city, and used a car to get the steel plate and spread it on the top of the headquarters, so that everyone was relieved.

There is also a core support point not too far in front of the Majiashan position, and the so-called core support point is nothing more than a mountain bag more than 200 meters high, which is about two kilometers away from the column headquarters of Majiashan, which just stops a road leading to Baoji City.

All trees and stones in front of the mountain pack that obstruct the shooting range have been cleared, and a deep anti-tank trench has been dug at the bottom of the mountain pack.

The troops that were deployed to defend on this mountain pack were the old 2nd Regiment of the 4th Brigade of the 2nd Column, and it was also the main combat regiment of the whole column.

(It is Brigade Commander Chen of the Fourth Brigade of the Second Column, and Brigade Commander Chen Haihan of the Sixth Column Teaching Brigade is not a person, it is the elder of our protagonist Li Yong, and Brigade Commander Chen also has the original form, as for who the original form of the character is, it is not yet possible to say, everyone will know it slowly in the future, however, friends who know the military history of the Northwest Field Army should be able to guess)

The soldiers of the 2nd Regiment who had finished digging the fortifications were resting, and some of them even took out the cans that had just come down and cut them open with bayonets, and then used knives to cut them out little by little and eat.

All the canned braised beef, the soldiers of the second regiment can be regarded as opening foreign meat this time, yes, it's good to open Baoji, the field army that had a hard time eating half a month ago didn't expect that even canned food is now available.

The guys in charge of logistics in the regiment also said, you just have to fight, and you have everything after the war is fought, don't you just want to eat canned beef? There are some in the storehouses in the city, and they are afraid to hold you up.

Therefore, this time, no matter what unit the unit was, a large amount of canned food was prepared, in order to fight until the most intense time, so that the soldiers would not go hungry.

When the battle is fierce, it is very likely that the food of the cooking class will not be delivered, and at this time, all kinds of canned food suitable for storage will become the best food.

Just as the soldiers of the 2nd Regiment were happily eating canned food, they heard a scream with a whistle coming from the sky in the distance. If you feel okay, you can give some recommendation votes, and the old man stumbled and said: Thank you, ah, just - thank you.
