The army entered Xinjiang, and it was urgent to wait, and Chen Haihan, who was drinking with Li Yong, asked if there was anything that needed the attention of the troops, and Li Yong thought to himself, what should be paid attention to? There are too many things to pay attention to, don't look at the drink, Li Yong's head is still sober, and it is not a bad idea to talk to Chen Haihan more about this situation, Lao Chen is the chief of staff of the Sixth Army, and he is a senior commander who can participate in the decision-making of troops at the first level of the army, and even many plans come from his brain as the chief of staff, and he knows more will be very beneficial to the troops.
"Big brother, don't look at the surrender of the Kuomintang in Xinjiang, but we have more work to do, Xinjiang not only has the regular army of the Kuomintang, but also a large number of bandits and spies, the regular army of the Kuomintang has surrendered, but those bandits will not surrender, if we don't eliminate them, we will not have a peaceful life, and if we want to resume production, it can only be an empty word, the bandits in Xinjiang are different from other places, and there is the shadow of foreign forces behind them."
In fact, when I said this, it was already a bit excessive, what Chen Haihan didn't know as a chief of staff of an army, how could you, a brigade commander, know!!
However, it may be because Chen Haihan drank some wine, or because he has been with Li Yong for a long time, and he has seen a lot of Li Yong's strange theories, so he is not surprised, Chief of Staff Chen did not investigate how Li Yong knew, but asked with some curiosity: "Hehe, there are also foreign forces, who are they?" ”
Li Yong also deliberately made his words a little vague: "Big brother, I heard that there is a US consulate in Dihua, but this American wears the same pants as the Kuomintang, can they watch us enter Xinjiang without any action?" It can't be, so I wonder if the Americans will definitely make a move, and we don't know what the action is, but it must be a move that is dangerous for our army to enter Xinjiang. ”
Chen Haihan drank the wine in the bowl in one gulp, and then slammed it on the table: "It makes sense, the enemy will not be willing to perish, no matter what tricks he has." Let's respond to all changes with the same and beat him up as a son of a bitch, by the way, you kid has a lot of goods in his belly. If you know anything new, tell me everything. ”
Li Yong was a little depressed, there are a lot of goods, we know a lot, but there is no way to say it all: "Let's not talk about bandits, it is not easy for the army to enter Xinjiang, thousands of miles of desert Gobi and no man's land." There is simply no way to replenish supplies, the number of vehicles in our troops is very small, and the logistical capability is poor, and it will be too difficult to march on foot; after entering October, the climate is getting colder and colder, and the temperature difference between day and night in the desert area is particularly large, and cold, hunger, wounds, illnesses, fatigue, and the harsh climate and natural environment will produce great tests on the troops. It's not easy to enter Xinjiang. ”
After Li Yong's words were finished, Chief of Staff Chen Haihan did not squeak for a long time, and Li Yong finally summed up as if talking to himself: "The most important thing is logistics. Only when we do a good job in logistics will our army be able to enter Xinjiang smoothly, and this is the most important task at present, and we must not be careless. ”
Chief of Staff Chen Haihan, who had not spoken for a long time, nodded: "What you said makes sense, I have also heard that when your second army passed through Qilian Mountain a few days ago, more than 130 people in an avant-garde regiment froze to death, and logistics support is too important, in addition, don't hide these words in your stomach, and have a chance to react to your superiors." ”
On the day Mr. Peng came back. At the meeting, Mr. Peng announced the decision of his superiors and also announced that the Sixth Army of the Second Corps would be assigned to the First Corps, and that the Seventh Corps, which was carrying out tasks in the field, would be transferred to the Second Corps, and that the troops that had entered Xinjiang in advance would be the Second Army and the Sixth Army of the People's Liberation Army.
Things are sometimes really delicate, and the ** brigade is a combat unit of the Second Army. In order to grab equipment from each other, Li Yong and his subordinates even had a cow with Commander Luo Yuanfa, but I didn't expect it to become a family now.
The atmosphere at the meeting was very warm, no matter what, our PLA is currently the winner, and there is no doubt that we will use the attitude of a victor to enter Xinjiang, and at the meeting, Chief of Staff Chen Haihan also brought out the issues discussed with Li Yong, and stated that there are many things that are not his thoughts, but Li Yong's thoughts.
The eyes of Mr. Peng and the leaders of the corps looked at Li Yong again, but now Li Yong is not nervous, because all of them are their old superiors and old leaders, to put it bluntly, including Commander Wang, they are all our backers, as long as they think they can say it, they will say it.
"What's the point of you, little one? Tell us about it. Mr. Peng's words were full of joy, perhaps the excitement of the boss to participate in the founding ceremony had not yet passed.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I think that our army is facing two main difficulties when entering Xinjiang, one is that the bandits in Xinjiang are particularly strict, and we must make various plans to suppress the bandits, and the second is the question of how we can enter Xinjiang." Next, Li Yong explained in detail what he had taken into account, and finally emphasized one point: We must improve the logistics of the troops, and if the supply is not done well, the troops may have to bear greater losses than the battle on the march of several thousand miles in the Great Gobi and the desert.
Li Yong's speech made everyone present feel the same way, Guo Peng, the commander of the Second Army, said: "A few days ago, when we crossed the Daxue Mountain, we were taught a lesson, the 14th Avant-garde Regiment sacrificed more than 130 people, if they all crossed the Qilian Mountain according to such a loss figure, even if they do not count the ** brigade, our Second Army still has three divisions and nine infantry regiments, and half of the regiment is gone, which is scary enough to think about." ”
Political Commissar Wang Enmao also added: "What Commander Guo said is the number of sacrifices, and if you add the soldiers who have lost their combat effectiveness due to frostbite, the number is even more. ”
A lengthy telegram signed by Mr. Peng was sent to the Central Committee and the Central Military Commission, which read: From Pingliang to Dihua 2,200 to 2,300 kilometers, it will take 66 days to walk 35 kilometers a day, with a day of rest every four days, and a total of three months to reach Dihua.
Among them, Xingxingxia is about 400 kilometers from east to west, lack of people, no water and food, firewood and water need to be prepared for transportation, in March and April, it is the wind season, Anxi to Xingxingxia often has a whirlwind, the yellow whirlwind is slow, people and animals can avoid, the black whirlwind is fierce, if there is no preparation in advance, people can blow away, the temperature drops to minus 30 to 50 degrees in the severe winter from Jiuquan to Dihua, and the non-fur hat clothes and felt boots are very difficult to freeze.
After entering Gansu, the land is vast and sparsely populated, the grain cannot be helped, the army is advancing very fast, the capture of enemy grain and civilian grain borrowing can not be milled, most of them eat whole wheat, the supply standard or in accordance with the regulations of the Central Military Commission, the soldiers' body is quite weakened, because of the victory in the battle, the masses in the areas they pass through are welcome, and the combat situation of the troops is still very high, but when entering Xinjiang, among the cadres and soldiers, there are still fears of going far away, not being able to return home, being afraid of walking the grassland, afraid of crossing the desert, afraid of the cold, and so on.
The 18th and 19th Corps each had more than 100 cars, most of which were over-aged, and the parts were defective, and there were 30 or 40 vehicles that could be used regularly, and the 1st and 2nd Corps and the Logistics Department of the Field Army had a total of nearly 100 vehicles, and there were only 60 or 70 vehicles that could be used regularly; the enemies in Pingliang and Tianshui all had a planned retreat, and the oil and important materials were all transported away; more than 200 barrels of gasoline were seized in Tianshui alone; there were very few civilian carts in Gansu, and there was not much manpower and animal power, and there were also many mobilizations in the newly arrived areas.
The telegram did not exaggerate, but reported to the higher authorities the difficulties that the Northwest Field Army was facing, and it can be seen between the lines of the telegram that the field army's logistical capability was very poor, and although it had reached the later stage of the War of Liberation, the supply problem that had plagued the troops since the Red Army period still had not been effectively resolved. (Logistics problems have always been a shortcoming of the PLA, as are the other major field armies, and the Northwest Field Army is just the poorest and most prominent field army.)
What to do? Of course, waiting is not the way, Li Yong is only a brigade-level commander, and he has no ability to solve the problems that his superiors want to consider, but he can still make some preparations within his ability.
Fuel, accessories, food and clothing, weapons and ammunition, medicine and equipment, all kinds of materials to resist the cold, etc., the troops of 10,000 or so on are really too much, all the personnel have taken action, Jiuquan does not have Zhangye, Zhangye does not have it, and then go to Wuwei, if it is really not possible, go to Lanzhou, anyway, all the qiē is mainly based on the needs of the troops.
He Cuihua and Sun Quanhou were even more busy with their feet hitting the back of their heads, for fear that the troops would suffer when the time came if there were fewer material preparations, and Brigade Commander Li also soaked in the baggage camp unusually, discussing with Lao Sun and He Cuihua all day long how to make the troops' material preparations more sufficient.
stayed with He Cuihua in the baggage camp all day long, so that his wife-to-be Hu Xiaolian was a little jealous, and during this period, Li Yong also specially sent a report to his superiors, asking the field army and the corps to help solve the problem of goggles and sunglasses, and also asked for one set per person.
To tell the truth, it is actually a bit of a luxury to equip every soldier with goggles and sunglasses, and in the poor and scummy Northwest Field Army, even some soldiers do not know that there is such a thing at all, these two small objects seem to be small, but those who know the situation understand the importance of small objects to the combat effectiveness of the troops.
The road that the troops are going to march on is very windy and sandy, and when the wind and sand are too big, people can't open their eyes, and how can they shoot if they can't open their eyes, and with goggles to protect their eyes, this problem can be solved very well......)
