The main force of the 18th Army pointed directly at the last snowy plateau on the mainland that had not yet been liberated, Xizàng.

The supreme ruler of Xizàng, Dazha Regent, transferred ten of the seventeen generations of the Tibetan army to the front line of Qamdo, in a vain attempt to take advantage of the dangerous terrain to resist stubbornly and block the PLA in the Jinsha River area.

To this end, the Xizàng high-level commanders frequently mobilized troops, destroyed roads and bridges, built fortifications, laid mines, and placed heavy troops at key passes to prevent the Red Han people from entering Tibet in order to continue their brutal slavery rule.

The high-level also believes that the Tibetan army does not have many troops, but the PLA may not be able to take advantage of the Tibetan army, and if the army wants to come from the Xinjiāng side, there are the Karakoram Mountains and the Qilian Mountains, which will cause them great difficulties, and there are militias of the heads of various clans and tribes, and they will not let the army go down the road.

If the communist army wanted to come from Qinghai, the Tanggula Mountains and the Kunlun Mountains would make it impossible for the communist army to return, because no army in history could pose a threat to Xizàng from this direction, and it will not be now.

Therefore, if the communist army wants to enter Tibet, it can only take the Kang-Tibet area, as long as the Tibetan army can hold the Jinsha River and defend Qamdo, it can block the choke point for the communist army to enter Tibet.

Therefore, the small Qamdo area has become the focus of attention of both the Tibetan army and the PLA, the Tibetan army wants to hold Qamdo and prevent the PLA from entering Tibet, while the 18th Army of Erye's Tibetan army wants to take Qamdo as soon as possible, and then use Qamdo as a springboard to liberate the whole Tibetan area.

August. The killing of Geda Living Buddha, a representative of the People's Liberation Army who went to Qamdo for peace talks (intelligence from the enemy's Ministry of Works, was carried out by British spies), also strengthened the CMC's determination to launch the Qamdo Campaign, and the Southwest Military Region believed that the Qamdo Campaign must be started in a timely manner, and that it is better to fight early than later, and it is necessary to annihilate the main force of the Tibetan army in one fell swoop, and to dispel the ambitions of the high-level rulers of Xizàng.

On the orders of the Second Field and the Southwest Military Region, the 18th Army of the People's Liberation Army (PLA) actively prepared to enter Tibet, but it encountered great difficulties on specific issues.

The first reason for the delay in the movement of troops was the food problem. The speed of the PLA's attack was very fast, but the backward logistics system was delayed, and the whole army was tens of thousands of horses, and food was a big burden, according to the latest information sent back. The soldiers of the Eighteenth Army were already digging wild vegetables and catching rats to satisfy their hunger, in order to quickly replenish the food of the Eighteenth Army. The superiors thought of a lot of ways. One of them was the establishment of an airport in the vicinity of Chamdo, the gateway to Xizàng, for air transportation by air.

The second reason is similar to the difficulties encountered by Yiye's troops in Xinjiāng's suppression of bandits, don't look at the Tibetan army's weapons and equipment and personnel, but they also have strengths, the vast majority of the Tibetan army are cavalry, and the speed of maneuvering is faster than that of Erye's troops. The chief organ of the Southwest Military Region took into account the problem: once the battle starts, what to do if the Tibetan army cannot defeat it, and how to let the infantry catch up with the cavalry.

The third difficulty is the plateau issue. At an altitude of more than 3,000 meters, the oxygen content in the air will gradually decrease, and people will develop the so-called altitude sickness.

In order to give Erye's 18th Army a chance to completely annihilate the enemy, the superiors decided to call a unit of Yiye, with rapid action, inserted behind the enemy's buttocks, intercept the enemy's retreat after the Battle of Qamdo began, and then gather the main force of the Qamdo defenders to pave the way for the peaceful liberation of Xizàng.

In August, Zhang Guohua, commander of the 18th Army, the main force of the PLA launching the campaign, proposed at a meeting of the Southwest Military Region to study the Qamdo Campaign that if the highway from Ganzi to Ya'an could be opened by the end of August, 300 vehicles and 5,000 yaks could be concentrated west of Huding, and the necessary dry food, winter clothing, and fuel could all be transported, and 8 million catties of grain would be transported to Ganzi by cars and a large number of horse-drawn carriages in September and October, and the Qamdo Campaign could be launched in October, otherwise, the launch of the campaign would have to be postponed.

It is no exaggeration to say that without effective logistical support, there is no hope of winning a war, and this is the natural law of war.

The contents of the meeting of the Southwest Military Region were reported to Zhongyāng, and several questions from Zhongyāng to the Southwest Military Region were:

First, whether the highway from Ganzi to Qamdo can be built and opened to traffic with the advance of the troops. Second, whether Qamdo can build an airport and whether it is suitable for airdropping. Third, how many troops are needed to attack Changchang, whether to use one division of the 18th Army, or whether the main force of the army will be dispatched, and whether the necessary supplies will be sufficient.

Just when the Eighteenth Army was actively preparing for the Battle of Qamdo, the leaders of the Tibetan army guarding Qamdo still had a trace of luck, they believed that with the passage of time, the temperature dropped, and the golden season for entering the Tibetan area had passed, and if the communist army wanted to march into Xizàng, it would have to be a matter of the coming year, and the situation in the world was changing day by day, and who could know what the coming year would be like.

The outbreak of the Korean War made them ecstatic, and the continuous expansion of the war situation made the high-level rulers feel that the attention of the People's Liberation Army is on the northeast frontier at this time, too far and too far away from them, so don't look at the Huan shouted by the communist army, it is still powerless to march into Xizàng.

At this time, a unit of the People's Liberation Army, which was considered inadequate by the leaders of the Tibetan army, was marching rapidly, and all the troops of 10,000 or so men marched in the form of motorized steps, with heavy artillery, tanks, and trucks wading through billowing smoke and dust, and the marching army column opened a distance of more than 10 kilometers, and was full of murderous spirit, heading straight for the Tibetan area.

Needless to say, this troop that exudes a bullish spirit when it walks is the Duli Brigade of the Second Army of the People's Liberation Army transferred from Xinjiāng, and it has fought countless tough battles and vicious battles.

The first echelon at the forefront of the whole army was Li Jiangguo's first infantry battalion, and after the Duli Brigade completed the task of suppressing bandits, the cavalry battalion of the Fifth Army and a cavalry platoon (battle heroes, horse and muti platoon) assigned by the higher authorities had been reorganized, so the current structure of the whole brigade was restored to the previous size of ten battalions.

The reason why the first battalion is used as the first echelon of the whole army is because Li Yong and Wang Chengde believe that among all the commanders above the battalion level, Li Jiangguo, the commander of the first battalion, is the most clever one and the one with the most flexible command style, so letting the first battalion advance in front can make the two of them feel more at ease.

In order to enable the troops to quickly get through to the guò, Li Yong assigned the engineer company directly under the brigade headquarters to the first battalion, and at the same time asked the reconnaissance battalion to discharge a platoon as a spearhead and put it at the forefront of the large army, so that the strength in the hands of Li Jiangguo, the commander of the first battalion, reached an infantry battalion, an engineer company and a reconnaissance platoon.

The task is not easy, as the commander of the first brigade, Li Yong's heart is heavy, but the soldiers are not cāo this heart, they naturally think, we have the brigade commander with us, is there still a task that cannot be completed? It can't be, it was like it was, and it still is.

Therefore, there was a lot of laughter and laughter in the marching procession, because all the soldiers were marching by car, and the soldiers were full of body and energy, and the murderous marching column resounded with bursts of singing from time to time.

Li Jiangguoniu, the commander of the first battalion, don't look at it as just a battalion commander, but now he is in charge of 2,000 small people, and his combat effectiveness is outrageous.

The second son of Changning of the reconnaissance platoon came back to report to him, Hami was in front, and whether the troops would continue to march or camp in place.

Li Jiangguo directly used a walkie-talkie to call through the channel of the brigade headquarters, and the striker had already arrived in Hami to ask the troops how to march.

It was already dark, and the brigade commander Li Yong ordered the troops to camp on the spot.

Time flies really fast, less than a year later, the Duli Brigade came to Hami again, the difference is that when it came to liberate Xinjiāng, it also met the big bandit leader Yao Lebos here, and when he went back, he was a successful retirement, although Yao Lebos escaped, but the bandits under him were all caught, and Hami also had a new people.

Even if it is out of Hami, all the fighting process of the Duli Brigade has come to an end, and the scenes of fighting with the Xinjiāng bandits are constantly flashing in Li Yong's mind like a movie, the sacrificed soldiers, the beautiful Hongliuxia Ranch, the wounded who stayed in Yiwu, the boundless desert, and the jujube walking horse that has made great achievements, which people will never forget.

Li Yong shook his head vigorously, he didn't think about this, the tasks of the troops will change, and the difficulties will increase, and the march to Xizàng is a brand-new stage, how to play, it depends on him and the appearance of the soldiers.

Political commissar Wang Chengde and Li Yong stood together, and Lao Wang looked at Hami City not far in front of him, and said to Li Yong:

"Dayong, when we came, we didn't even enter the city because of the urgency of military affairs, and now the time is quite rich, you can take a few people into the city to have a look, I will stay here."

"No need, let's talk about it when I have a chance later, the soldiers didn't go, what am I doing with a brigade commander going into the city? Going to see the Western Ocean? Don't have that leisure, let's think about the marching plan after dinner. ”

In order not to disturb the local soldiers and civilians, the troops camped in place not far from the city, and early the next morning, the troops continued to set off, without saying a word all the way, because of the road conditions, the speed of the march was only more than 30 kilometers.

In the afternoon, the troops set out from Hami and walked another 1560 kilometers, and the reconnaissance platoon at the front reported that it had reached Xingxing Gorge. (To be continued......)
