Chapter 410: A Critical Moment

Commander Guo Peng and Political Commissar Wang Enmao asked Li Yong and Wang Chengde, who had come to the military headquarters to ask for war, to help the staff officers and staff officers to see how the next battle should be fought. (The first text is published in the reading room biquge.info)

The military situation was urgent, Li Yong didn't have time to be polite, so he directly lay down on the table covered with the map, picked up a red and blue pencil and drew the distance back and forth on the map.

The cadres during the war years were upright, not so stinky and exquisite, and they would not lose face because their subordinates had the ability, so Li Yong was also very open in front of Commander Guo and Political Commissar Wang Enmao, and he said whatever he wanted to say in his mind: "Army commander, political commissar, I think our plan has to change." ”

Commander Guo knows that Li Yong has a lot of ideas, and the old man in the second column who doesn't know that the famous Brigade Commander Li is a person with goods in his head: "Say, how should I change?" ”

Li Yong: "The first plan formulated by the army was to use the 4th Division to block the 57th Army, and at the same time let the 5th and 6th Divisions attack from both sides and rear of the enemy while consuming a large amount of the enemy, and use sudden means to crush the enemy's psychological defense line, tearing open the defensive position of the 57th Army, and the enemy will be able to fight our battle as soon as he panics, as long as our 5th and 6th Divisions succeed from both sides, we can let the independent brigade, as the reserve of the army, launch a centripetal attack on the enemy, and destroy the 57th Army in one fell swoop." ”

Li Yong's analysis made Commander Guo and Political Commissar Wang nod frequently: "The military party committee originally meant this, but now it seems that the situation has changed, the fifth and sixth divisions, the two units that detour to the enemy's flank, play a role not as much as the pre-estimated, the enemy's defensive position in the two strategies did not panic, but relied on solid trench fortifications to fight us to the death, the fourth division fought very the front, judging from the current situation, the fifth and sixth divisions may be difficult to break through the enemy's defense line in a short period of time, and the fourth division is very difficult to fight frontallyIf the positions of the 4th Division are broken through by the enemy, all the operational plans we had drawn up before the war will be bankrupt. ”

Li Yong nodded, and then said according to Commander Guo's train of thought: "According to the current situation, after most of the battle, our Second Army and the 57th Army should have been a draw, in the flank and rear we occupy the offensive, the enemy defends, in the front is that we are in a defensive posture and the enemy is attacking, and the casualties are generally about the same, unlike the 57th Army, our Second Army's hole cards have not been fully played, and we still have a fully equipped independent brigade that has not been put into battle. ”

Commander Guo: "That's exactly right, now your Independent Brigade is our army's hole card, what do you think about how to use the Independent Brigade?" ”

Li Yong: "I think so, since the enemy situation has changed, we must also change, the original plan of the military party committee was to defend on the front and break through on both sides, but now our army is facing a situation that it is difficult to break through on both sides, and it is very difficult to defend on both sides, so my idea is to change the surface defense to a frontal breakthrough, and change the two strategies to break through to contain the two sides, specifically, let the Fifth and Sixth Divisions contain the enemy from both sides, and our independent brigade will attack head-on from the front, and the front will be hard, and the 203rd Division of the Kuomintang will be defeated with sudden movements. The 203rd Division is the core of the 57th Army, and as long as this division collapses, the entire 57th Army will be finished. ”

Commander Guo Peng and Political Commissar Wang Enmao looked at each other again, and Commander Guo asked with some excitement: "Comrade Li Yong, your ideas are very good and bold, but the personnel of the Kuomintang 203rd Division are not less than yours, and the weapons and equipment are not worse than yours, and the officers and soldiers dare to fight hard and attack head-on from the front, are you sure?" ”

This plan was discussed by Li Yong, Wang Chengde and others when they came, and when they saw the army commander asking such questions, they were obviously very moved, but they were also worried about whether the independent brigade would be able to complete the task.

Li Yong and Wang Chengde stood upright together, and Wang Chengde, who had not spoken since arriving at the military headquarters, said loudly: "Please rest assured, the army chief, our more than 9,000 cadres and soldiers of the Independent Brigade are confident that they will be able to complete the task and defeat the enemy's 203rd Division." ”

Li Yong continued: "Our brigade strives to defeat this so-called Kuomintang trump card within an hour, and then launch a surprise attack on the enemy." ”

Commander Guo Peng and Political Commissar Wang Enmao laughed, Commander Guo Peng nodded at Political Commissar Wang, Political Commissar Wang glanced at the two of them and said: "Defeat the enemy in an hour, the tone is not small, and the determination is also very great, if it can really be like what you said, this 57th Army will be dead, since you are so determined, I and the army commander have decided, approve your plan of action, and let your independent brigade attack from the front, and the battle will start in half an hour, and the independent brigade will have anything to support, just ask, As long as there is something in the army, it will definitely be given, but I declare in advance that our army is not as rich as your independent brigade, and we can't open our mouths. ”

As commanders at the level of divisions and brigades, Wang Chengde and Li Yong knew very well that the foundation of the Second Army was already very thin, and most of the limited ammunition was given to the Fourth Division, and now there is really not much left.

Before leaving, Li Yong muttered to the two army leaders: "Please rest assured, the two leaders still have this in our brigade, and we don't need any support from the army." “

There is another sentence that Li Yong put in his stomach and did not say it, that is, since he doesn't have anything in the army now, it is better not to have anything.

Li Yong and Wang Chengde, who returned to the Independent Brigade, nervously arranged combat missions, and Li Yong's first phone call was directly to the Heavy Howitzer Battalion of the ace unit of the Independent Brigade.

The current artillery battalion is not as good as before, the whole battalion has nearly 900 personnel, and the total number of artillery pieces exceeds 70 mén, of course, among the more than 70 mén artillery, the main force is about 50 mén American 105 grenades, as well as more than 20 mén mountain artillery, field artillery and infantry artillery, Li Yong's order is to let Gao Xiang maneuver these 20 mén small-caliber direct-aim artillery to the forefront of the fourth division in the shortest possible time, and make a good preparation for battle.

Li Yong's order made Gao Xiang excited, watching the sacrificed and wounded soldiers of the Fourth Division lift down one by one, can he, a soldier of the old 2nd Regiment, feel better? This guy was in a hurry and was about to jump back and forth on the positions of their battalion, and it was not a big problem to maneuver these twenty-odd mén artillery to forward positions, it was a piece of cake for an independent brigade with a large number of cars and jeeps.

The order of the independent brigade headquarters was conveyed in the shortest form and in the fastest time, and each battalion was ready for battle in the first time, and even the baggage battalion pulled out a team of more than half of it.

In the position of the Fourth Division, the battle was still going on, and the soldiers used the Qiē they possessed to fight with the attacking enemy, with their teeth and blood, and with their own loyalty to defend the honor of the Fourth Division.

At this time, the Fourth Division had reached the most dangerous time, and there were constant calls to the division headquarters asking for support from various positions, and the commanders asked for roughly the same, asking the division headquarters to give even a little support to the personnel and ammunition.

But at this time, the Fourth Division really had no extra troops and ammunition to reinforce the troops below, and Division Commander Zhao repeatedly emphasized to the commanders on the phone that no matter how difficult it is, no matter how big the casualties are, no matter how dangerous it is, as long as the superior has no orders, you must stick to it.

The commander of the first division said all this kind of thing, which shows that the fourth division is really running out of oil, and the mobile forces have been used up, and the next battle will only use the personnel on the existing positions.

The greatest threat to the fighters on the forward position is still those tanks with steel armor, there are no good anti-tank weapons, the fighters have to fight the enemy's steel with their bloody bodies, from time to time fighters rush up to blow up the tank with cluster grenades, but most of these fighters are knocked down when they rush halfway.

The so-called cluster grenades are just bundling several grenades together, and it is very difficult to blow up a tank with this most primitive weapon, and sometimes all the soldiers of a squad are killed and wounded, and they may not be able to blow up one, and it is really a loss if the equipment is not good.

Knowing that the casualties were large, that they knew that they were very dangerous, and that they knew that they would most likely not be able to come back if they went up, no one was afraid, no one complained, and no one complained to their superiors about what weapons were not good, and no one could play yào, because they knew that the Red Army, the Eighth Route Army, and later the PLA troops had always fought like this, and in every battle, the weak must defeat the strong, otherwise they would be called soldiers of the People's Liberation Army.

At the critical juncture, Deputy Army Commander Chen and Division Commander Zhao organized all the personnel who could organize the Fourth Division, and the personnel of the division headquarters were also organized into a small combat unit, led by Deputy Army Commander Chen and Division Commander Zhao, ready to be used when the enemy rushed up again.

During this period, Division Commander Zhao asked Deputy Army Commander Chen to withdraw several times, but Deputy Army Commander Chen said, "Let my soldiers go back by themselves, I have never had such a habit in more than 20 years as a soldier." After speaking, Deputy Army Commander Chen picked up a rifle next to the sacrificed soldier and pressed the bayonet, lying on the trench.

The soldiers have the courage to fight, the deputy army commander and the division commander are holding rifles to fight directly, what else do the soldiers say, go out and fight with the enemy, twenty years later is still a good man, at this time, only heard a sound of reading behind him, looking back, there are more than a dozen or more than twenty jeeps driving over, and there are still a mén artillery trailer behind these jeeps.
