On the morning of the second day after the independent brigade returned to Zhangye, the main force of the Second Army arrived, and the military headquarters of the Second Army and the fourth and sixth divisions drove in in a big stride.

I haven't seen each other for a few days, as if it has been a long time, Commander Guo Peng gave each of them a fist, and roared in his mouth: "Two guys, you did a good job, and you played the prestige of our second army." ”

Li Yong hurriedly smiled and asked, "Why did the main force of the army arrive so quickly?" ”

Political Commissar Wang Enmao took it over and replied: "It's not too fast, no matter how late it is, you won't be able to kill those guys from the Sixth Army, and the most important thing is that I am afraid that you will suffer losses in the deep army." ”

Li Yong and Wang Chengde were very moved, the independent brigade fought with a gun, and they only knew that it was enjoyable to kill and chop, but they didn't expect the rear leaders to worry about them.

As if seeing the thoughts of the two people, Commander Guo Peng patted Li Yong on the shoulder: "It's a good thing to win the battle, we should worry about snacks, it's okay to run a few more steps, in addition, the Luo Yuanfa of the Sixth Army should also be there soon, it's not okay if the speed is slow." ”

Li Yong was very surprised, why is the Sixth Army also about to arrive, didn't he hear that they are still some distance away from Zhangye, Deputy Army Commander Chen, who has not yet spoken, took it and said: "Lao Luo, that guy is famous for not suffering, it is better to kill him if he keeps following your ass, it is estimated that he should arrive tonight at the latest." ”

It stands to reason that after the battle, Li Yong should be idle, but the actual situation is that not only is Brigade Commander Li not idle, but also busy enough, all kinds of messy things are endless, weapons and ammunition, materials and food, wounded prisoners, and so on, and so on, there is a lot of stuff, and he can't finish it, during which Li Yong also applied to the army for 2,000 prisoners.

The infantry battalion of the separate brigade is not small. For the time being, there is no need to replenish them, but the tank battalion and artillery battalion will not work, and the personnel are stretched, after the 245th and 246th divisions of the Kuomintang were defeated. The tanks and artillery of the independent brigade have been expanded again, and Gao Xiang and Jiang Tiexiong's report said that at least five or six hundred more people would have to be added to their battalion before they could be used.

To say that in the past, they wanted to be Brigadier Li who couldn't solve it, but now it's different. Now there are too many prisoners, and they are all soldiers of the Kuomintang Central Army, and the individual soldiers are very good, as long as they are slowly educated in a few months, they are still good soldiers.

In this way, the separate brigade selected two thousand people from among the captives, all of whom were in good health and young. It would be better if I could read and know a few words, anyway, more than 2,000 people have made up for it. The units that received the most personnel were several technical battalions, and Gao Xiang and Li Yuming each took more than 500 soldiers.

At this time, several guys from the tank battalion and the artillery battalion smiled happily, the strength of the two battalions exceeded 1,500 people, and it was the largest battalion except for the baggage battalion. Convincing? ”

Gao Xiang, who stinks everywhere, is simply angry with people to death. Li Yong had to explain to them that the infantry battalion of more than 1,000 people was already an alternative in our PLA troops, and there was no way to replenish it, and there was another reason for Gao Xiang's artillery and tank troops to increase their personnel. The future development trend of the army is to expand the strength of the technical arms, this is a big matter, and we cannot act rashly; under Li Yong's persuasion or explanation, Li Jiangguo, Ma Changsheng, and a few others had no choice but to go back.

The matter is not over yet, and finally the political commissar Wang Chengde called Gao Xiang and Li Yuming over, and after a stinky training, the two of them are much more honest, but no one can say how many days they can be honest.

At this point, the independent brigade, which had received more than 2,000 prisoners, was once again expanded, and the total strength of the whole brigade, including the prisoners who had just arrived, reached an unprecedented strength of more than 13,000 people.

I really let Deputy Commander Chen say it right, before the evening, the large troops of the Second Corps and the Sixth Army also arrived, good guys, thirty or forty thousand horses poured in again, and Zhangye City, which seemed to be not small, was also crowded.

Since he arrived a day or two early, the Second Army was considered a landlord, and all the units were used efficiently, looking for houses and food for the Sixth Army of the fraternal troops, and looking for a place to be stationed, Li Yong also met his old comrade-in-arms Chen Haihan again.

Chief of Staff Chen Haihan, who is no longer the commander of the teaching brigade, is still as energetic as before, Li Yong specially took him to the brigade headquarters of the independent brigade, and also prepared some wine, of course, the old comrades-in-arms have to drink a few sips when they meet, although Li Yong's alcohol is average, but he has to sacrifice his life to accompany you.

Chief of Staff Chen Haihan was very interested, and he was very happy to see Li Yong, with a little wine, Chen Haihan told Li Yong that in their six armies, they all knew that the claws of the second army were stretched long, and they were famous dog claws, which could both grab and run, and this time it was the case, the second army ate meat, and the sixth army could only drink soup, in order to cooperate with the second army to encircle and annihilate the 245th and 246th divisions, they only captured two regiments of the enemy, and the benefits they got were much less than those of the second army. Later, I couldn't help but form a fast column, which was a little stronger than before,

Li Yong was a little embarrassed, the dog paws of the Second Army in the mouth of the Sixth Army were undoubtedly talking about their independent brigade, Li Yong smiled and said: "Pull it down, don't think I don't understand the situation, you only captured two regiments in name, but one of these two regiments is a camel corps specializing in transportation in the Northwest Military and Political Governor's Office of the Kuomintang, and it is very oily and watery, and getting them in your hands is equivalent to solving the food and drink of the whole army, and your Sixth Army should thank our Second Army, right?" ”

Chief of Staff Chen Haihan laughed: "I said Dayong, let's not praise each other, to be honest, you still have to prepare more food, there are still many troops behind, and the logistics of the field army will not be taken care of when the time comes, don't blame me, the big brother, for not reminding you when you are hungry." ”

Li Yong felt strange that there were 70,000 or 80,000 horses from the Second Army and the Sixth Army concentrated in the small Zhangye area, and all they had to deal with was more than 10,000 Kuomintang troops in Jiuquan.

"It's not much, it's just that there, the follow-up troops have to keep coming, I heard that the entire Second Corps will be transferred, and there are still more troops behind."

Li Yong hurriedly asked for detailed information, Chen Haihan told him that there was nothing to keep secret, after taking Zhangye, the next target of the field army was Jiuquan, and there were still more than 10,000 people in the Kuomintang Northwest Military and Political Chief's Office in Jiuquan, so many people were not enough for our large army to stuff their teeth, so the real purpose of the field army leaders was not them, but, when he said this, Chief of Staff Chen Haihan deliberately lengthened his voice and did not speak, and he also sold a pass.

Li Yong was in a hurry, he couldn't sit still, and he was about to smash it with a big bowl, Chen Haihan said with a smile: "What's the hurry, tell you the truth, when the Kuomintang men and horses in Jiuquan are wiped out, the Hexi Corridor will be completely liberated, after the Hexi Corridor falls into our hands, the Kuomintang army in Xinjiang is really alone, the Kuomintang army in Xinjiang is no more, no less, the total strength is about 100,000, the leaders mean to try to solve it peacefully, and strive for them to revolt or surrender, but to do it." "Surrendering troops without a fight" must have a strong strength as a backing, so that the opponent can not see the hope of victory, so that it can be easy to succeed, so the leaders want to deploy heavy troops in the area of Zhangye and Jiuquan, and the enemy will compromise, and if they do not compromise, they will be completely and cleanly eliminated. ”

Chief of Staff Chen Haihan's words made Li Yong suddenly realize that in his memory, the Kuomintang Xinjiang defenders did accept the central government's order for peaceful reorganization, but this achievement was not obtained out of thin air, but was achieved under the strong pressure of the PLA Field Corps.

Just when the Second Army and the Sixth Army of the People's Liberation Army were assembling in the Zhangye area, the little Kuomintang troops that were still nested in Jiuquan also changed.

The People's Liberation Army is getting stronger and stronger, the Kuomintang has been in continuous rout, the so-called Nationalist Government has also run to Taiwan, and there is no sign that the United States has sent troops, and the Third World War cannot be fought, and the large forces of the People's Liberation Army are chasing closer and closer, so far, there are more than 10,000 people in the hands of Liu Ren, deputy director of the Governor's Office, and only one of the more than 10,000 people, the 231st Division, is relatively complete, and the rest of the troops are all miscellaneous and mixed together, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a rabble, let alone confront the PLA with this point, Even hope of going around to fight guerrillas has been dashed.

At the end of September 1949, in a gloomy and cold atmosphere, Liu Ren, deputy director of the Northwest Military and Political Chief's Office of the Kuomintang, Shangguan Yeyou, director of the Political Work Division, Zhou Jiabin, commander of the 120 th Army, and Hu Jingxian, principal of the Cavalry School, fled to Chongqing on a plane specially sent by Chairman Chiang, leaving behind their brothers who had kept saying that they wanted to share weal and woe.

"Dad and mother go out, take care of yourself" The scene at that time was chaotic, and they all wanted to get a seat on the plane, but the capacity of the plane was limited, and it was impossible to fit all the officers who wanted to escape. (To be continued......)
