Chapter 234 The search for the Battle of Xifu was first corrected a mistake, the warlord Sun Dianying was not shot by Chairman Jiang, there was a mistake in Lao Ba's memory, after the reminder of the book friend "Above the Dongting", I checked the information again, Sun Dianying died of illness after being captured by the People's Liberation Army, and the cause of death was the sequelae left by long-term opium smoking.

Not to mention what the soldiers of the fourth column discussed, Li Yong, who was sitting in the jeep, did not have the good mood of the soldiers, and his heart has not been interrupted in the calculation, what is the calculation? Calculate how the next battle will be fought.

The Battle of Xifu and Dongdong, also known as the Battle of the Jingwei River Valley, and the Kuomintang called it the Great Victory of the Jingwei River Valley, although the Northwest Field Army took Baoji in history, it was lost because of the enemy's rapid reinforcements, and the materials and grain in hand had to be destroyed.

In the battle, they suffered heavy losses because they were not familiar with the enemy's cavalry, and the troops were surrounded by the enemy several times, and by the time they finally returned to the old liberated areas after arduous battles, the troops had been reduced by more than 15,000 men.

Unlike other field armies, if you put it on Siye, it is very common to lose more than 15,000 people in a battle, is there a big battle, can there be no casualties? However, for the Northwest Field Army, which was already insufficient in personnel and strength, 15,000 men was a big loss, and it was also a loss that the Northwest Field Army could hardly bear at that time.

The Battle of Xifu and the two battles against Yulin were among the most famous defeats in the PLA's military history, and not only did it not achieve its strategic intentions, but it suffered heavy losses.

However, there is an essential difference between the defeat of the PLA and the defeat of the Kuomintang, and the so-called defeat of the PLA is not that the troops were completely annihilated like the Kuomintang, but that they did not achieve their strategic goals and caused losses to the troops.

History has made a little change in the Northwest Field Army because of its own arrival, and therefore the attack on Yulin has been successful, the troops have one more city to rely on, and the second column has also had an independent regiment that is very capable of fighting, and the wings of a small butterfly have also played a certain role. Li Yong, who couldn't stop thinking about his thoughts, suddenly saw that his soldiers were still standing on the car with their chests straight, and they were all sparkling in what they thought were cool.

Seeing the appearance of the soldiers, Li Yong was a little funny, the independent regiment had already been passed from the side of the large army, and now it was just his own regiment marching alone, not in the parade, what are you doing so neatly? Anyone who has been a soldier knows that it is very tiring to stand motionless in a military posture, and it is possible for those who are tired and faint after a long time.

"All of them, sit down, okay, the comrades of the chief and the fraternal troops can't see it, let's stop pretending, don't show off, sit down and rest."

As soon as Li Yong shouted like this, the soldiers remembered, yes, what kind of posture did they pose after they had passed in front of the ranks of the Changhe brothers' troops? The head of the regiment said that it was a bit pretending.

Hearing Li Yong shout, the soldiers all sat in the car with their guns in their hands with a smile, and joked with each other: "Our regiment commander is right, sitting is better than standing." ”

There is also a rebuttal: "What do you call this, it's better to lie down than to sit." ”

Compared with other troops, the soldiers of the independent regiment are indeed blessed, it is too difficult to walk and march long distances, weapons and equipment, ammunition and food are all pressed on one person's body, and sometimes it is completely dependent on perseverance to support it, so the independent regiment marching by car is particularly enviable, which is also the reason why Commander Wang wants to equip the whole column with a car.

The independent regiment, which opened the way for the whole army, placed a reconnaissance platoon on the left, right, and front of the direction of advance, and searched and advanced at a distance of about five kilometers from the main force of the regiment.

Although the Yichuan Campaign Independent Regiment suffered heavy losses, it also gained a lot of money, not only weapons and ammunition, but also a large number of communications equipment, which was most scarce in the troops.

After the words and deeds of the regiment commander Li Yong, every soldier of the independent regiment has long known that this guy is a good thing, and in the words of the common people, he must be snatched back if such a precious thing can be snatched back.

At present, every platoon-level unit of the independent regiment can basically be equipped with a walkie-talkie for wireless communication, and this has also brought about tremendous changes in the command of commanders at all levels, such as the mistakes made by the Fifth Battalion in the battle at the fork in the road.

After actual testing, given the local terrain conditions, the quality of the walkie-talkie's communication distance within five kilometers is still good, and it is not very easy to use after five kilometers, so Li Yong's request to the several platoons stretched out by Li Yong to the reconnaissance battalion is not to go out for more than five kilometers, not to fall in love with the battle, and to report the situation in a timely manner.

The platoon at the forefront of the whole regiment is also the sharp knife for the entire column to advance, according to the old rules of the independent regiment, it is the reconnaissance platoon with the most combat effectiveness in the reconnaissance battalion, and the platoon commander is of course the clever Ning Erzi.

At this time, the reconnaissance battalion had already changed its guns, and most of the soldiers in the battalion were submachine guns and shell guns, except for machine gunners, and because the battalion commander Zhang Jinsong kept grinding with the regiment commander Li Yong, the current reconnaissance battalion is also equipped with a certain number of heavy machine guns and mortars, of course, the number is less than that of other infantry battalions.

This made the firepower of the reconnaissance battalion make a leap forward, and the battalion commander Zhang Jinsong showed off with other brother units for this.

Li Yong's approval to equip the reconnaissance battalion with a certain number of heavy machine guns and mortars was not a whim that could not withstand Zhang Jinsong's mushrooms for a while, mainly because in order to provide the reconnaissance battalion with fast mobility capabilities, a large part of the jeeps captured by the independent regiment were given to their battalion.

At present, the whole battalion of the reconnaissance battalion is basically marching in jeeps, only the battalion's baggage platoon has large trucks, and the combat platoon is all American-style Chinese jeeps.

This has brought conditions for the improvement of equipment, with a very flexible and cross-country jeep, a larger weight of weapons can be fully equipped, otherwise it is impossible for the soldiers of their battalion to have heavy machine guns, and the reconnaissance troops have no way to carry heavy machine guns.

Ning Erzi's platoon was equipped with a total of seven medium jeeps with tarpaulins lifted, with five people on each car, and the platoon leader Ning Erzi had a total of 35 people.

Ning Erzi's platoon originally had more than 50 people, and in the battle at the fork, their reconnaissance battalion drilled into the belly of the enemy's large corps to move, although they did not fight a positional defensive battle, but the same loss was not small, and their platoon alone suffered more than 20 casualties.

Battalion commander Zhang Jinsong also knew that Ning Erzi was very uncomfortable, but this guy didn't shed tears like Erzi, and this old Balu had seen a more cruel scene than this one I don't know how many times.

However, Ning Erzi's tears did not fall in vain, and the battalion commander Zhang Jinsong specially gave them three heavy machine guns this time in order to supplement the lack of firepower caused by the lack of personnel for the platoon.

This guy made Ning Erzi smile, Makqin, who was clear and watery, gave them three in one platoon, and this firepower equipment made him feel very confident in his heart, no matter who it was, if there was a dishonest salvo for him, he wouldn't believe it.

The seven jeeps of the reconnaissance platoon searched in groups of three, forming a front triangle to search and advance, and the distance between each car was about 20 meters, while the distance between the two groups of cars was strictly controlled at about 60 meters, and the car of the platoon commander Ning Erzi was in the middle of the two groups of cars.

This position and distance were conducive to the march and the unfolding of the battle, and the fighters in the first three vehicles were all submachine guns, and on the last three vehicles, each of which had a Maxim heavy machine gun.

The soldier with the walkie-talkie on his back and the platoon commander Ning Erzi sat in the middle of the car, and Ning Erzi, who was not yet 20 years old, hung a telescope on his chest, and held up the telescope from time to time to look around.

A soldier beside him who was familiar with the local area reminded: "Platoon commander, this place is not too far from Fufeng County, do we still have to move forward so quickly?" "Ning Erzi: How far is it? The soldier replied: "There are about twenty kilometers or so to go, and if you go any further, you should be able to meet the search party of the enemy's county." ”

"Listen to my orders, slow down, pay attention to the search forward, and expand the area in all directions."

Ning Erzi's reconnaissance platoon took advantage of the jeep's excellent off-road function to continuously expand the reconnaissance range around, marking all kinds of terrain features within its line of sight on the notebook prepared in advance.

This kind of scout's drawing work was also learned by Ning Erzi in the class where the regiment commander Li Yong gave a lecture to everyone, and Ning Erzi, who had never read a book, not only knew a lot of words in the independent regiment for more than a year, but also learned some professional skills of scouts.

Nearly twenty minutes had passed, and one of the fighters shouted, "Platoon commander, what do you see over there?" Ning Erzi looked up in the direction of the warrior's finger, only to see a group of black dots swaying in the distance. ”

Ning Erzi raised the telescope in his hand and took a closer look to understand, and really let the soldier just say right, the figure shaking in the distance was a group of Kuomintang soldiers, it is estimated that they came out of Fufeng County, there are not many personnel, and it seems that it is also a platoon or so scale.

Ning Erzi immediately used a walkie-talkie to inform his battalion commander that there was now a skirmish platoon of the enemy, and it was estimated that it was a search force from Fufeng County, and asked for the task of our department.

After the report, Ning Erzi asked his battalion commander if he asked them to drain up, it was best to solve this group of enemies, and it is estimated that people have seen Ning Erzi and them now.

Zhang Jinsong immediately used the walkie-talkie to report the current situation of Ning Erzi to the regiment commander Li Yong, because of the limitation of the walkie-talkie call distance, Ning Erzi had no way to directly reflect the situation to the regiment commander Li Yong, so Zhang Jinsong could only answer the question, and at the same time of reporting the situation, Zhang Jinsong also asked Li Yong for instructions and said that Ning Erzi and they wanted to fight, and it was best to kill the enemy's search force.
