Chapter 401 Big Adaptation
Hearing that there was a battle report from the Independent Brigade, Deputy Commander Liu of the Field Army, who usually did not pay much attention to the war, rushed to take the telegram first.
Looking at Commander Liu's face, he was about to smile, needless to say, looking at his expression, everyone knows what's going on, and the Independent Brigade will definitely win the battle again.
Mr. Peng, who took the telegram handed over by Commander Liu and read it carefully, slapped the telegram on the table: "Good job, after two hours of fighting, the 258th Division was completely annihilated, and the division commander Ma Desheng was killed. β
Several leaders who picked up the telegram and circulated it around said: "Boss, please do it, but you have to wait and see what more outstanding they have, our independent brigade is good enough, you see, this telegram said that five infantry battalions and a reconnaissance battalion were used to carry out enemy and ambush attacks on the 258th Division, and the howitzer battalion and heavy machine gun battalion with the strongest firepower in their brigade were not mentioned at all, and the tank units directly under their brigade headquarters also did not move. It seems that the independent brigade did not pay attention to the cavalry of the 258th Division at all. β
Mr. Peng laughed rarely: "That's good, it shows that our Lao Liu's vision is very accurate, and he sees people very thoroughly, which is even more powerful than a few of us who are in charge of fighting." β
Commander Liu replied unceremoniously: "That is, don't look at my old Liu in charge of eating and dressing, I have been with you for a long time, and I have almost smoked it." β
Mr. Peng: "Since the Independent Brigade is so capable, we have also saved a lot of heart, and informed Wang Huzi to temporarily seconded his baby Independent Brigade to the Field Army Headquarters, so that the Independent Brigade can deal with these cavalry of the Ma Jiajun to see if the horse hooves of the Ma Jiajun are powerful, or the wheels of our Independent Brigade are running faster." β
In Qinghai, Ma Bufang's official residence, the walls of the large conference room are hung with a portrait of Chairman Jiang in military uniform, and below is a large row of tables and officers sitting in front of him.
Although Ma Bufang is actually a local local warlord and a local emperor who dominates Qinghai, he is still a general in name and is led by the national government.
At this time, this big warlord was so angry that he kept scolding the dead ghost Ma Victorious in his large conference room: "Stupid, waste, in order to pat Hu Zongnan on the back, he lost his life, and he also put one of Lao Tzu's divisions in, and he died well, if he didn't die in the hands of the communist army, Lao Tzu would have to kill him." β
A staff member said cautiously beside Ma Bufang: "Commander, just being angry is not the way, although the number of the communist army in the northwest is not large, but the combat effectiveness is not the same as before, the weapons and equipment have also been greatly improved, it is difficult to deal with, Peng Dehuai's tactics are very cunning, do you want Ningxia's Ma Hongkui to cooperate, doesn't he always want to be the deputy military and political chief of the northwest, he can't do it at all, right?" β
The construction of the staff made Ma Bufang's eyes light up, yes, he and the communist army desperately tried his Ningxia Ma Hongkui can't watch the excitement, hum, and he also has to make some efforts: "Come on, send a report to the Ministry of National Defense, our department requires the Ningxia troops to cooperate with the operation and concentrate their forces to attack the communist army in the northwest." β
Ningxia, Ma Hongkui, who received a telegram from the Ministry of National Defense, frowned, obviously he didn't want to give Hu Zongnan his life, this old guy is not a fuel-efficient lamp, after thinking about it, he also guessed that it was Qinghai Ma Bufang's idea, but thinking about Hu Zongnan, once he was wiped out by the People's Liberation Army, his life was not easy or he gritted his teeth and sent troops, although he Ma Hongkui had contradictions with Hu Zongnan and Ma Bufang, but it was smaller than the contradiction with the Communist Army, Ningxia's Ma Jiajun and the Communist Army were not only a problem of contradictions, but a sea of blood feud, I think that when he encircled and suppressed the Red Army, he Ma Hongkui didn't make a lot of efforts, can people not remember?
In this way, the Kuomintang units fighting in the great northwest region and the Northwest Field Army were transformed from Hu Zongnan's Central Army into local troops in Qinghai and Ningxia to fight in coordination with Hu Zongnan.
A strange phenomenon arose: At the beginning of '49, when the PLA troops were in a major offensive on the battlefields of the whole country, the strength of the Kuomintang troops in the great northwest battlefield once again occupied an absolutely dominant position, and the Northwest Field Army was not only unable to destroy the enemy for the time being, but was also very dangerous itself.
Because of the continuous strengthening of the Northwest Field Army, the Kuomintang's forces in the northwest felt an unprecedented crisis, and the central army and the local army were integrated, and what the Kuomintang government had never tried to do before was now naturally successful, and several forces were unexpectedly screwed together, which caused tremendous pressure on the troops of the People's Liberation Army.
In order to effectively preserve its strength, the Northwest Field Army, under the leadership of Mr. Peng, once again engaged in a tug-of-war guerrilla war with the enemy.
Time passed little by little, the Northwest Field Army continued to maneuver with the enemy in an absolutely inferior situation, during this period, the independent brigade that was transferred to the headquarters by ChΕu played a unique role, although it did not fight a beautiful battle like the 258th Division, but also contained the cavalry units of the Northwest Second Horse (Ma Bufang and Ma Hongkui), and the cavalry of the Ma Jiajun knew that there was a very fast mobile and extremely strong combat force in the PLA, which was the unit of Wang Zhen of the second column of the Communist Army, It was also deliberately to deal with their cavalry troops, which made the cavalry of the Ma Jiajun be cautious when fighting, for fear of falling into the trap of the People's Liberation Army.
The general who led the joint operation of the two Ma Jiajun was Ma Bufang's eldest son Ma Jiyuan, and he was also the commander of the 82nd Division of the Kuomintang's reorganization, Ma Jiyuan was the rising star of the Majia Army in the northwest, this kid had suffered a big loss outside the city of Bao JΔ«, and he had a certain understanding of the independent brigade, so he was very cautious when fighting, and there was no need to absolutely not work hard with the PLA, which made the independent brigade have not been able to find a very favorable fighter, and he couldn't make it hard, and only fought a few small battles, and he didn't destroy many enemies, and he didn't capture much, but, The field army headquarters put them in charge of the task of pinning down the enemy's cavalry, and it was a good job.
By February of '49, the People's Liberation Army (PLA) had achieved absolute superiority on the battlefield of the whole country, and in the northeast, in North China, in Shandong, and in the vast Central Plains, the PLA troops were unstoppable, and after several major battles, most of the main military groups of the Kuomintang were wiped out, and all that remained was the Bai Chongxi clique in Guangxi, the armies of Hu Zongnan and Sanma in the northwest, and then there were a few large isolated military strongholds.
In accordance with the orders of the party Central Committee and the Central Military Commission, the Northwest Field Army was officially renamed the First Field Army of the Chinese People's Liberation Army on 1 February, with Peng Dehuai as commander and member of the Political Committee, Xi Zhongxun as deputy political commissar, Zhang Zongxun and Zhao Shoushan as deputy commanders, Yan Yuyao as chief of staff, Gan Siqi as director of the Political Affairs Department, and Liu Jingfan as deputy commander of logistics. The original columns were changed into corps, and brigades were changed into divisions.
The former First Column of the Northwest Field Army was changed to the First Army of the Chinese People's Liberation Army (known as the First Army of the World, an old unit that came out of the Honghu Soviet District, which survived a hundred battles and fought countless evil battles, and was expanded from the Red Second Army of the Second Front Army of the Red Army, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the first army under the world), He Bingyan was the commander, Liao Hansheng was the political committee, and the 358th Brigade, the First Independent Brigade, and the 6th Brigade under its jurisdiction were successively changed to the First, Second, and Third Divisions of the Chinese People's Liberation Army.
The former Second Column of the Northwest Field Army was changed to the Second Army of the Chinese People's Liberation Army (the old foundation was the Red Sixth Army of the Second Front Army of the Red Army), with Guo Peng as commander and Wang Enmao as political committee member, and the Fourth Independent Brigade, the 359th Brigade, and the Sixth Independent Brigade under its jurisdiction were successively changed to the Fourth, Fifth, and Sixth Divisions of the Chinese People's Liberation Army.
The former Third Column of the Northwest Field Army was renamed the Third Army of the Chinese People's Liberation Army, with Huang Xinting as commander and Zhu Ming as political committee member, and the 2nd, 3rd, and 5th brigades under its jurisdiction were successively changed to the 7th, 8th, and 9th Divisions of the Chinese People's Liberation Army.
The former Fourth Column of the Northwest Field Army was changed to the Fourth Army of the Chinese People's Liberation Army (a unit of the old Red Army in northern Shaanxi), with Zhang Dazhi as commander and Zhang Zhongliang as political committee member, and the 1st, 3rd, and 4th garrison brigades under its jurisdiction should be the 10th, 11th, and 12th divisions of the Chinese People's Liberation Army.
The former Sixth Column of the Northwest Field Army was changed to the Sixth Army of the Chinese People's Liberation Army, with Luo Yuanfa as commander and member of the political committee, and the teaching brigade and the newly formed fourth brigade under its jurisdiction were successively changed to the 16th and 17th divisions of the Chinese People's Liberation Army, and later the 18th Division was formed in Jinnan.
The former Seventh Column of the Northwest Field Army was renamed the Seventh Army of the Chinese People's Liberation Army, with Peng Shaohui as commander and Sun Zhiyuan as political committee member, and the 10th and 12th Independent Brigades under its jurisdiction and the 5th Independent Brigade of the North China Military Region were successively changed to the 19th, 20th, and 21st Divisions of the Chinese People's Liberation Army.
The former Eighth Column of the Northwest Field Army was changed to the Eighth Army of the Chinese People's Liberation Army, with Yao Jiji as commander and member of the political committee (Commander Yao's name was put together by the two Ji), and the 11th and 14th Cavalry Brigade under its jurisdiction were successively changed to the 22nd, 23rd, and 1st Cavalry Divisions of the Chinese People's Liberation Army, and the Eighth Army did not have the number of the 24th Division.
For historical reasons, there has never been a number of the 24th Division, and the number of the troops in the future is from the 25th Division, and the numbers of the 25th, 26th, and 27th Divisions are the three divisions of the Ninth Army of the People's Liberation Army, which were formed by the Kuomintang troops of the Xinjiang uprising.
When it was reorganized in February 49, there were seven armies in the Northwest Field Army, that is, the establishment of the First Field, but the Seventh Army and the Eighth Army were only numbered in the First Field, and the troops were not in northern Shaanxi at all, so the troops that could be used by the First Field at that time were still the previous five columns, that is, the later five armies (the first, second, third, fourth, and sixth)
