Chapter Prison Mountain Assault Regiment

After resting for more than a month, the commanders of the Second Column of the Northwest Field Army once again went to the headquarters of the column for a meeting, and at the meeting held by the column, Commander Wang Zhen conveyed the spirit of the instructions of the Central Committee to the commanders at and above the regimental level, and the people who came to the meeting immediately began to discuss it.

As if the commanders' reactions were all in his expectation, Commander Wang pressed down with both hands: "Comrades, the idea of our party central committee and the party is not shouted out, it is up to us to realize it step by step, those of us who are holding guns are trying our best to turn the idea of the party central committee and the party central government into reality, and it is a good thing to want to fight, and we can tell everyone with certainty that we are going to fight again." ”

When Commander Wang said this, the meeting room was quiet, and the people who had been talking for a long time just now were silent, as if a needle could be heard if it fell to the ground: "Comrades, do you remember how rampant Hu Zongnan was in March last year? Remember how they attacked our Yan'an? Remember the Kuomintang that threatened to take three months to solve us? ”

Hearing Commander Wang say this, a commander stood up suddenly: "Commander, we remember when we die, what is Yan'an?" It is the place where our party Central Committee and ** live, and it has been occupied by them for more than a year, and we remember it in our dreams. ”

Commander Wang raised his voice: "Comrades, not only do you remember, every cadre and soldier of our field army, every member of the ** remembers it, and I Wang Zhen also remembers like you, a year ago we only had more than 20,000 people, and Hu Zongnan put more than 200,000 attack troops on the front line, our strength is too different from the enemy, the party Central Committee made the decision to abandon Yan'an is correct, we do not compete with the enemy for the gains and losses of one city and one place, what we want is to destroy the enemy's living force, Yan'an is like a big burden, Don't think about putting it down lightly when they come on their backs, more than a year has passed, what is the result? Our field army has made great progress, and there have been earth-shaking changes in personnel, weapons and ammunition compared with before, and the enemy's strength has been greatly weakened by us, don't look at their total strength in the northwest is still more than ours, but the initiative on the battlefield has completely fallen into our hands, to put it mildly, now in the northwest we want to fight there, so the field army headquarters has made a decision that the time has come for our northwest field army to recover Yan'an. ”

After Commander Wang finished his last sentence, the venue became lively, and some people wiped their tears with their hands excitedly.

These people take it for granted that there are so many troops in the country, but the recovery of Yan'an must be carried out by their Northwest Field Army, because the Northwest Field Army is the guard army of the Party Central Committee and the first country, and Yan'an cannot be recovered, they can't raise their heads in front of the major field armies in the country, and they are not willing to die.

Not to mention Li Yong and Wang Chengde, the two recruits in everyone's eyes, even Brigade Commander Chen, an old commander from the Red Army, couldn't hold back, and Brigade Commander Chen, who had always been very calm, stood up: "Commander, commanders, our Fourth Brigade is ready, please hand over the most difficult task to our brigade Party Committee of the column, and I am here to assure the column Party Committee that as long as there is one person in our Fourth Brigade, we will definitely complete the task, destroy the enemy, and enter Yan'an City." ”

Li Yong and the commanders of these second columns had held meetings together many times, and this was the first time he had seen Brigade Commander Chen, an old Red Army, so excited.

Brigade Commander Chen's words were like a stone still in the oil pot, and a commander shouted loudly: "Okay, you old Chen, why are your brigades ready?" It's not how to grab the task, your four brigades are powerful, we are not straw bales, our brigade is going to fight for the sharp knife task, and when the time comes, we will compete with your four brigades. ”

Then the commander said that several brigade commanders stood up and asked Commander Wang for a task, and the meeting place was in chaos.

Li Yong and Wang Chengde looked at each other, although they also wanted to fight for some tasks, but they didn't dare to squeak, why? Just because the two of them are too young, they can't talk like children in front of these old Red Army.

As far as the actual ability of the independent regiment is concerned, Li Yong and Wang Chengde can completely compete with these commanders, and the personnel of the independent regiment of more than 7,000 people are not much less than that of a main brigade, and the weaponry and actual combat effectiveness cannot be compared with that of a brigade, and this is also one of the reasons why Commander Wang has a lot of face in front of the commanders of other columns.

The reason is also very simple, the other columns are all three main brigades, only the second column has an extra independent regiment, and this independent regiment is very strong, so the second column commander Wang is equivalent to four main brigades, and it is the main column with the most personnel and the most powerful combat effectiveness in the Northwest Field Army.

This can be regarded as one of the consequences of Li Yong's crossing, so that the second column has one more independent regiment than in previous history.

Looking at the chaotic venue, Commander Wang waved his hand: "Everyone be quiet, don't rush the task first, some of them are for you to fight, let the chief of staff tell you about the situation in Yan'an." ”

A commander opened the wall chart on the wall, pointed to the geographical location on the map, and said: "According to the information we have, Yan'an currently has three regular divisions of the Kuomintang garrison, plus some miscellaneous cards with a total of less than 40,000 people, and its 17th Division has the largest number of personnel, the best weapons and equipment, and the strongest combat effectiveness, the division commander He Ding is Hu Zongnan's classmate, born in the first phase of Huangpu, and is also the commander of the Kuomintang Yan'an Corps. A large number of fortifications composed of steel and concrete were built near Yan'an, and various firepower points were staggered, coupled with a large amount of food and ammunition in the city and the dangerous terrain, and the enemy was determined to defend it to the death, so Yan'an was a hard bone to gnaw, and this battle was not easy to fight. ”

Commander Wang added: "Our field army has more than 100,000 people, and the total strength is two to three times that of the enemy, if it is a field battle in the plain area, we will have a great advantage, but there are not many people fighting the fortifications, plus we have to draw out a part of the troops to contain the enemy in other aspects, so the strength that our field army can take out is only about 90,000, and this is still the result of the cooperation of a large number of local militias, otherwise we will not be able to gather even 90,000 people, and use 90,000 people to attack the cities guarded by 40,000 people. We do not have any advantage in personnel, and we must underestimate the enemy. ”

Li Yong knew that what Commander Wang said was the truth, the enemy was not a fool, if he wanted to recover Yan'an, he had to gather all his forces, and it was a very difficult job to use 90,000 people to deal with a stronghold with strong fortifications defended by 40,000 people, and it was not a new thing to lose the battle, and if he didn't do it well, it would be like the first Yulin Campaign, not only did he not take a big city but also suffered heavy casualties, from this point of view, attacking Yan'an would be a very dangerous game, and recovering Yan'an would bring great benefits to the government. If it cannot be recovered once it is regained, the good situation brought about by the bloody struggle just now will be ruined, and the troops will also suffer heavy losses.

Looking at the commanders at all levels who had gradually calmed down, Commander Wang continued: "Our second column is the largest unit in the whole field army, so at the meeting held by the field army, the political commissar and I grabbed the most difficult direction of attack, our column attacked from the south to the north, and the entire south of Yan'an was covered by our column, and everyone thought about how to fight this battle. ”

The meeting lasted for two or three hours in a row, and there was a constant stream of discussions, and the commanders who came to the meeting were all old men who had fought for more than 10 years and 20 years, and they were not very old, but they were all very disciplined in fighting and thoughtful in considering problems.

The altitude of this Laoshan Mountain is not too high, but it is the commanding height of the entire southern part of Yan'an, so if you want to attack from the south, you must take this commanding height, otherwise the troops will not only be unable to attack the city, but will also be heavily killed by the fire from the top of the mountain.

Of course, the Kuomintang defenders in Yan'an also knew the importance of the Gaoshan position, and used a reinforced regiment to defend it, which numbered more than 3,000 people, and was well armed and very difficult to deal with.

Therefore, if the second column wants to attack from the south of Yan'an, it must solve this Kuomintang prison mountain position, and the key to the problem is how many people and troops can be used to solve this position that the Kuomintang ordered to defend.

Li Yong and Wang Chengde, who hadn't spoken much, looked at each other, and Li Yong quietly asked, "Old Wang, how is it?" Any ideas? ”

Wang Chengde: "The idea is that it is better for our regiment to snatch back the task of attacking the prison mountain, it is better than letting us always be a reserve, but in terms of psychology, I am not sure, I am afraid that our regiment will not be able to take it down and drag down the progress of the entire campaign, and if the battle reaches that kind of Cheng dù, the two of us will become sinners in history." ‘

Li Yong nodded, knowing that this was Wang Chengde's psychological words: "Old Wang, have you forgotten what our group has been doing these days?" Think about it. ”

As soon as Li Yong reminded him, Wang Chengde suddenly remembered, yes, in recent days, the regiment has been engaged in various exercises in field battles, and it has been practicing day and day, and it has lasted for more than ten days.

Wang Chengde, who was a little brighter, patted Li Yong's shoulder: "Dayong, I said that you guys can really pinch it, what is it?" Do you know that our regiment is going to seize the main attack task of the mountain? ”

I'm sorry to say sorry to everyone and it's going to stop again, I've been preparing for exams for a while, and I really don't have the energy, and I'll get better in the future.
