Chapter 232: The Battle of Xifu Siege of Baoji

Commander Wang, who came to the independent regiment to inspect the work, or to come to see the excitement and satisfy his curiosity, heard Li Yong's words, and his heart was churning.

Da Yong, this kid is really powerful, he just came back from a meeting at the field army headquarters, and what Mr. Peng said at the meeting was almost analyzed by this guy, no, I have to let this kid think about it more, so good that his head doesn't have to be a little too wasteful.

Thinking of this, Commander Wang circled around the modified car a few times, then pulled Li Yong aside, lowered his voice a little and said:

"Dayong, I originally wanted to tell you when I had a meeting, but now I'll tell you a little in advance, Ye Si just held an emergency meeting, at which Mr. Peng mentioned that we should give up Luochuan, which is attacking now, and Pei Changhui, who wants to send reinforcements, and the whole army will go north, go to Xifu to close the east region, and capture Baoji, obtain the enemy's supply resources, and solve the problem of food and clothing for the change of seasons.

The weather is getting hotter and hotter day by day, and the troops are going to start changing their clothes again, but what about our clothes? Now it has not been settled, and the food is going to run out, hundreds of thousands of people, it is terrible to have no food.

However, according to your analysis, if the enemy in Qinghai makes a surprise attack on us, the cavalry mobility of the brigade is too powerful, a year ago in the trilateral division when the enemy only had more than 4,000 cavalry, we are very worried, this cavalry can not only fight with you head-on, but also long-distance maneuver, hit your logistics supply line, at that time, thanks to you to entangle the enemy's cavalry, so that the head of the headquarters saved a lot of heart.

After more than a year of development, our field army has also formed its own cavalry, but there is only a cavalry division of more than 3,000 people, and it lost part of it in the last battle, and now it is not even 3,000, and there is no way to confront the enemy. ”

Li Yong took the commander's words and said: "The most powerful part of the enemy's cavalry is the impact and speed, as soon as the war horse runs, the people on the horse can't rush if they don't want to, and everything else is very ordinary, so I want to use the method of adding armor to the car to change the situation of insufficient mobility and protection of the troops, and will meet the cavalry of the Ma family's army." ”

Commander Wang nodded: "You have done a good job, step up preparations, the troops may be mobilized in the next few days, and I will also seriously consider your construction and report to the headquarters." ”

Hearing Commander Wang say this, Li Yong breathed a sigh of relief, no matter what, he has done what he can do, and he has reminded him of what he can remind, no matter how it is, only God knows.

During this period of time, the Northwest Field Army could not encircle Luochuan for a long time and paid a lot of losses, which made Hu Zongnan, the commander of the Kuomintang theater commanded in Xi'an, breathe a sigh of relief.

Hu Zongnan took it for granted that as long as he could keep Luochuan, he could keep Yan'an, as long as he could keep Yan'an, the face of the Nationalist Government would not be lost, the principal's face would also be bright, and he Hu Zongnan's merits would still be there.

This Yang Yinhuan is really a character, I didn't expect him to use the strength of a brigade to fight with the main force of the Northwest Communist Army for more than a month, not only Luochuan did not lose but also killed and injured a large number of communist troops, not only gave me Hu Zongnan a long face, but also gave the entire ** in the northwest a long face, which shows that we still have a lot of generals who can fight, not all of them are Zhang Hanchu of Yichuan, not all of them are afraid of death, which also shows that I Hu someone has meritorious service in promoting talents.

Just when Hu Zongnan was about to reward and confer official titles on Yang Yinhuan, who was guarding Luochuan, Chief of Staff Sheng Wen came in and reported: The communist forces in the Luochuan area had suddenly all withdrawn, and according to the reconnaissance of the air force and ground personnel, the main force of the communist army marched in three directions, and there was an attempt to advance westward.

Is there such a thing? Hu Zongnan's face, which seemed very happy just now, immediately pulled down again, his attention these days was on Luochuan and Yan'an, all he thought about all day was if Luochuan and Yan'an were kept, but he didn't expect the communist army to suddenly withdraw again, and march west without warning, what is the intention of the communist army, and what strategic thinking is it based on to let them move west?

Hu Zongnan couldn't figure it out after thinking about it, or he said that this Hu Zongnan was a straw bag, not only that ** people said that he was a straw bag, Mr. Peng said that he had made a phone call for more than half an hour, and he only told his subordinates how to nail the buttons on his clothes and how to tie his shoelaces. You don't have to do anything else for a day.

The Kuomintang said that he was only a company commander, but he became a general of the Sixth Army by virtue of his relationship with the chairman of the committee, who was a teacher, a student, and a fellow countryman, and that a large army of hundreds of thousands of horses and all the weapons and equipment of the United States could not grasp the initiative on the battlefield against the more than 20,000 Northwest Field Army, which had only millet plus rifles.

From the beginning of his arrival in the northwest, he was led by the nose by more than 20,000 people of Mr. Peng, and within a month and a half, three brigades were eaten in a row in Qinghuatou, Yangmahe, and Panlong Town.

More than a year has passed, the Kuomintang troops are fighting less and less, and the strategic initiative is basically gone, but the Northwest Field Army led by the first people is constantly developing and growing, from the initial 20,000 to 100,000, this is still not counting the soldiers captured in the Yichuan Campaign, if this part of the prisoners are counted, the strength of the Northwest Field Army will be greatly improved.

The fact that the battle between 300,000 and 20,000 is still not won shows that the gap between the good student of this chairman and Mr. Peng is not ordinarily large, and it can be said that he is not on the same level at all, and he is not even qualified to be a student of Mr. Peng.

Now it is even more so, the strategic intention of the Northwest Field Army led by Mr. Peng and Political Commissar Xi is completely unclear, and his head is in chaos, in fact, if Hu Zongnan has a good brain, he can find a little clue of the activities of the PLA.

From the beginning of the fight against Panlong to Yulin, and then to Yichuan and Luochuan, the big battles that the ** people have to fight are basically related to the supply of the troops, which has a context to be found, where can the most attractive ** people? Needless to say, where there is food, where is the most attractive to the large army of the Eighth Route Army.

Everyone knows where there is the most grain in the eastern area of Xifu, and it is Baoji, the logistics base of the Kuomintang, and the food and materials here are the biggest factors that attract the large troops of the Eighth Route Army.

Within a few days after Commander Wang went to the Independent Regiment to look for Li Yong, the troops really started to move, and all the men and horses of the brigade were withdrawn, and the Independent Regiment still marched as before, acting together with the column headquarters.

The westward advance of the field army did not bring the prisoners captured in the Yichuan Campaign, the troops were going to fight, and carrying the prisoners was a big burden, and the prisoners were led by a leader of the field army and marched to the vicinity of Yulin, intending to continue the training of the prisoners near Yulin.

The prisoners of the Independent Regiment were also brought to the vicinity of Yulin like other prisoners, and Li Yong's request to the commander of the Independent Regiment led by Li Yong was that when the troops returned from the Xifu area, they should be able to see the mental outlook of this group of new soldiers and meet the standards of veteran soldiers, and then they could be replenished into the troops.

The spirit of the soldiers of the Northwest Field Army who marched westward was good, but the personnel were also much smaller than when they set out from Yulin, and except for the soldiers who were still recuperating in the hospital, the total strength of the whole army was not even 80,000, and the total strength of the troops advancing westward was less than 70,000.

The Battle of Yichuan has just ended, and although our army has eliminated the enemy's heavy army group and achieved an unprecedented victory, its own losses are not small, and many veterans with combat experience are still lying in the hospital.

The captured new liberation fighters could not be replenished for a while, and they had to leave a part of their forces to contain the enemy, resulting in a large drop in the total strength of the troops advancing westward, and this left a hidden worry for future battles.

The attacking troops were smooth all the way, and the resistance encountered was very weak, and the sixth column on the right took Changwu and Lingtai, about 15o kilometers north of Baoji.

The first column of the middle road captured Bin County, which was more than 1oo kilometers northwest of Baoji, and occupied Fengxiang County after a long-distance attack of more than 8o kilometers.

The second and fourth columns on the left occupied the Huihai railway line east of Baoji, and Baoji was already surrounded by the field army on three sides.

At this time, Hu Zongnan, who was in Xi'an, understood that the target of the PLA's attack was his rear base Baoji, and this guy hurriedly ordered Pei Changhui's corps to relieve the siege of Baoji, and forcibly reinforced it at any cost.

After doing this qiē, Hu Zongnan was still uneasy in his heart, after more than a year of fighting, he had been frightened by Peng Dehuai's Northwest Field Army, although he had made a reaction, but could his subordinates organize it so quickly? Just like Pei Changhui, the order was given to him, but how he executed it was not something he could control, saying that he wanted to engage in military law against the former who was not cowering, but how to implement military law, this old guy in Baoding Eighth has more than a hundred reasons to defend with you, and when the time comes, it may be himself as the commander who loses.

Hu Zongnan, who had thought about it for a while, finally called his principal, hoping that the Ministry of National Defense would come forward and order the Ma Bufang group in Qinghai in the northwest to send troops to attack the communist army in the northwest on both sides and completely solve the siege of Baoji.

At the end of the Qing Dynasty, after Xinhai ** in 1911, the Qing Dynasty, which had ruled China for more than 200 years, collapsed, specifically the thirteen dynasties, and the reign time was 296 years.
