The telegram sent by the 65th Division of the Kuomintang to the main force of the Corps makes it very difficult to understand why the troops that vowed to break through the communist defense line were surrounded by the superior communist forces. This is illogical, and it doesn't make sense to look at it. The full-text and ad-free novels are all biquge.info on Aishang Novel Network

Finally, after listening to the report of his subordinates, Commander Pei Changhui breathed a sigh of relief: "No wonder this is the case, it turned out that the division headquarters of the 65th Division encountered the interspersed troops of the Communist Army, Li Zhen This guy is timid and afraid, what is the great thing about the interspersed troops, what can a small unit play a big role, is the division headquarters of the 65th Division so vulnerable?" ”

An officer beside Pei Changhui reminded: "Commander, don't be careless, have you forgotten that when we were under Baoji City, didn't we also encounter a communist army interspersed with troops, the communist army is not a small army, but a very powerful elite combat force, it seems that this is a tactic often used by the communist army, with a long-distance attack of a force, unexpectedly knocking out the opponent's command structure, very powerful." ”

Pei Chang would stir up a cold war, and finally remembered the history of being almost captured by the People's Liberation Army under Baoji City: "Well, what you said makes sense, come on, order the 187 Brigade to speed up and move closer to their division headquarters, and order the main force of the corps to move immediately and strive to reach the garrison of the 65th Division within an hour, hum, only a dozen kilometers away, I don't believe that the communist army can still eat my 65th Division?" ”

The Kuomintang army was equipped with a large number of automobiles, and the speed at which the road conditions permitted, was the reason why Li Yong demanded that the troops end the battle within half an hour.

It is true that the People's Liberation Army did not eat the 65th Division, and it could not eat the strength of one brigade of the Independent Brigade alone, but the entire 65th Division had lost its combat effectiveness after the division headquarters was defeated, and except for the 160th Brigade that was eaten, the remaining two brigades were like blind people who could not find the command, could not hear the orders of the upper peak, and did not know how to act, and finally moved to the division headquarters under the direct command of the corps headquarters.

At this time, the independent brigade had already withdrawn to the position held by the Sixth Column Teaching Brigade at the time of departure, and Brigade Commander Chen Haihan took Li Yong's hand and said: "Dayong, you did a good job, you are really a hero out of a teenager, and the troops have suffered heavy casualties?" Also, what was the result? ”

Li Yong was in a good mood, he fought a good battle, of course he was in a good mood, and replied with a smile: "The casualties are not big, the division headquarters guard battalion of the 65th Division was almost bombarded by us with artillery fire and then rushed in with tanks, most of the casualties were wounded by the cold guns of the enemy's small troops when they were leaving, such losses are still within our tolerance range, the results are good, the division headquarters of the 65th Division was destroyed by us, and the division commander Li Zhen was also killed." ”

Brigadier Commander Chen Haihan was also overjoyed when he heard that Li Zhen, the commander of the 65th Division, had been killed, and a large part of the casualties of his teaching brigade were caused by the onslaught of the 65th Division:

"**, great, this time the 65th Division has to be in chaos for a while, they can't recover in a short time, Dayong, the order from the headquarters has come down, our blocking mission has been completed smoothly, we want our two brigades to hurry up and evacuate immediately, and be careful not to be bitten by the enemy's large forces when retreating."

Li Yong: "Okay, you teach the brigade to withdraw first, and our independent brigade will cover behind." ”

Brigadier Chen Haihan: "How can this be done, if you want to withdraw, you have to withdraw first, and we can cover it." ”

Needless to say that the PLA troops were able to win the battle, the nature of the troops was essentially different from the Kuomintang troops, and when the two units belonging to different columns received the order to retreat, they both wanted to keep the difficulties to themselves and the convenience to the fraternal troops.

Li Yong: "Lao Chen, don't fight with us, you also know the situation of our independent brigade, our brigade has a large number of cars, and the speed of withdrawal is very fast, as long as you can withdraw smoothly, we can rest assured, rest assured, it is impossible for the enemy to eat our independent brigade, they haven't grown that tooth yet." ”

When Brigade Commander Chen Haihan saw Li Yong say this, he no longer insisted: "Okay, Dayong, then I won't be hypocritical, our brigade will withdraw first, and you will cover behind." ”

When Brigadier Chen Haihan was about to leave, Li Yong asked again: "Old Chen, how is the supplement of your brigade?" How about I solve some of it for you first? ”

Brigade Commander Chen Haihan smiled and patted Li Yong's shoulder: "Dayong, you have received your kindness, so you don't have to worry about replenishment, we picked up a lot of leftovers when your brigade attacked, and almost all of the 160 brigade's family resources were pulled over by us." ”

Li Yong thought about it, but also, the Independent Brigade did not stop for a minute after destroying the 160th Brigade, but directly pounced on the headquarters of the 65th Division, and not all the trophies all over the ground were left to the Teaching Brigade, but thanks to these leftovers, it would not be easy for the Teaching Brigade, which had suffered more than half of the casualties, to restore its combat effectiveness.

By the time Pei Changhui arrived at the headquarters of the 65th Division with a large force an hour later, it was too late, not only was the division headquarters killed by the communist army, but the division commander Li Zhen and a staff officer were also nowhere to be seen, as if they had evaporated from the world.

When they joined the remaining two brigades of the 65th Division, and then launched a tentative attack on the PLA's position, they found that not only had the entire 160 Brigade been wiped out, but even the PLA on the opposite position was gone, and what I saw was the dead and wounded officers and men of the 160 Brigade and the broken weapons all over the ground.

Pei Changhui, the commander, felt a chill in his heart, this guy has been rolling on the battlefield for many years, his head is not in vain, how much can he guess from the actions of the People's Liberation Army, it seems that the troops of the communist army who held their positions completed the task and took the initiative to withdraw, in that case, the 17th and 38th divisions surrounded by the communist army would be dangerous.

Thinking of this, Pei Changhui's brain was about to sweat down: "Order the troops, speed up and advance, immediately contact the 17th Division and the 38th Division, tell them, we will be there immediately." ”

The main stage of the Libei Campaign was over, and the Northwest Field Army did not continue to attack the integrated 38th Division after completing the encirclement and annihilation of the 17th Division of the Kuomintang, but quickly withdrew from the battle.

When Pei Changhui rushed to the battlefield of the decisive battle between the two armies with the main force of the corps, the battle was basically over, and the PLA troops had long since disappeared, leaving only the remnants of the 38th Division, which had been beaten terribly, and the 17th Division had been wiped out in formation.

Looking at the dead bodies all over the ground and the officers and soldiers of the 38th Division, Pei Changhui was crying without tears, and the **, who had an advantage in weapons and equipment and personnel, was eaten a few bites by the communist army in the group defense, how can this be explained to Commander Hu and Chairman Jiang? How is it good? But fortunately, a 38th Division was saved, and there was still a bit of nonsense to make up in front of those officials of the Ministry of Defense.

No matter what Pei Chang would think, the third and fourth columns of the Northwest Field Army, with the cooperation of the first and second columns, quickly withdrew from the battle before the arrival of the Kuomintang corps, and all the men and horses of the field army disappeared into the mountains around Baishui with the wounded and prisoners, as well as a large number of captured weapons and ammunition, and thus the Libei Battle ended victoriously.

Although the Northwest Field Army did not complete the plan formulated before the campaign to eat the enemy's two reorganized divisions, the results were also very good in terms of comprehensive results, especially the defensive battle of the Sixth Column, which not only bought time for the main force but also destroyed a large number of the enemy's living forces.

According to post-war statistics, the Northwest Field Army, under the condition of fighting more with less and attacking the strong with the weak, carried forward the fine traditions of our army, was not afraid of difficulties and sacrifices, took the initiative to attack, firmly grasped the initiative on the battlefield, broke the so-called key defensive operation plan of the Kuomintang army in the southern part of Hu Zong, and destroyed one integrated division (17th Division) and severely damaged two divisions (the 38th and 65th Divisions) totaling more than 45,000 people, while losing more than 9,000 people in the battle.

This was the victory of the field army under extremely difficult circumstances, and in order to cooperate with other battlefields across the country, the Northwest Field Army, under the command of Mr. Peng and the leaders of the field division, paid a heavy price, and finally won the glory of the people's army again.

Long live the heroic Northwest Field Army, long live the heroic Chinese People's Liberation Army.

A few days later, the brigade of the Northwest Field Army drove to the Baishui area to rest and recuperate, the common people beat drums to welcome their troops, the local masses and the government prepared a large amount of houses and food for the troops, and the militia, children's regiments, and some other organizations took over all the scattered tasks of the troops.

The militia went out dozens of kilometers to reconnoiter the enemy's situation, the children's regiment stood guard, and the Women's Rescue Association was responsible for serving the wounded.

And the task of the troops is to eat well, drink well and then sleep well, and there is no need to worry about anything else, the soldiers will sleep after eating, and eat after sleeping, and finally relieve their fatigue for a few days.

It was the autumn harvest season of 1948, the golden autumn of October, the fields were golden, and the people had done so much for the troops, and of course the troops could not wait to eat dry meals, so the various units took battalions and companies as units to help the villagers harvest the autumn.

Most of the soldiers were born as peasants, and they were experts in farm work, and there were many soldiers in the Baishui area in the army, who were very familiar with the situation in their hometowns.

There were several villages where the Independent Brigade was stationed, and the local villagers did not know how to learn about the achievements of this unit, and the villagers were happy, as if they had sent this unit, and when they met people outside, they said, 'Hey, you know, the Independent Brigade lives in our village, that's a great unit.' ‘

On this day, the Independent Brigade received a telegram, and Li Jia, the commander of the communications platoon, was a little excited to hand over the telegram to Li Yong.
