Chapter 253: The decision of Pei Changhui in the Battle of Xifu

Xu Bao, the commander of the 76th Division, was still drinking with his aunt in his mansion in Xi'an, and he was a good official, he didn't have to worry about anything, he just enjoyed life, and he heard that Baoji was surrounded and hurriedly got on a small plane and rushed over.

Is Master Xu capable, a cronie of Commander Hu, you can come by plane, but no one can say whether this is a good thing or a bad thing, if you get it right, you will rush to defend the city and make contributions to the party and the country, and if you don't get it, you will be in a hurry to die.

In the current Baoji City, the 76th Division no longer looks like officials, soldiers do not look like soldiers, and they are asking each other randomly, how many communist troops are coming? Where have you got? Do we have any reinforcements? As a result, no one could understand, and they were scared enough by all kinds of rumors.

In the panicked conference room, there was everything, but few people said that they should stick to Baoji, and most people's proposition was to withdraw as soon as possible when the communist army was not completely encircled, and there would be a way to live if they left early, otherwise they would have to be captured and captured if they were not killed by the communist army.

A subordinate quietly paid attention to Xu Bao: "Master, if you want to defend the city, you have to have the capital to defend it, what do we use to defend it now?" What is the difference between a hard encounter with the communist army and an egg hitting a stone? Let's hurry up, if you delay any longer, you won't be able to leave. ”

This Master Xu Baoxu ignored how this subordinate paid attention, and still impassionedly shouted to the officers who came to the meeting: "The geographical location of our Baoji is very important, and it is still a material reserve base, so much ammunition and materials are given to the communist army in vain?" The communist army is born in the mud legs of poor ghosts, and we are very greedy for our materials, Mr. Hu has the grace of knowing me, he said that if he can defend it, he will definitely be able to hold it, if he wants to withdraw, you will withdraw, I want to stay here and live and die with Baoji. ”

After this guy finished speaking, he didn't care whether he would disperse or not, patted ** and walked out. When he went out of the conference room, it was like a chaotic camp, the division commander wanted to live and die with Baoji, and I don't know if what he said was true or false, you Xu Bao is a close confidant of the commander, and you want to die for Hu Zongnan, why should we send you to death together?

Everyone who came to the meeting had a little Jiujiu in their hearts, each with their own eyes, and repeatedly weighed what to do to be more beneficial to themselves, whether to run or resist the communist army, but with this little bit of people in the city and the communist army, it seems that there is no good fruit to eat, and it is a bit too stupid to do that.

What do the officers think Xu Bao doesn't know, now he is sitting in an open jeep full street to inspect the various defense facilities and city fortifications in Baoji, while looking at it and thinking, Lao Tzu doesn't come here a few times a year, now take a good look, and I am familiar with it, so that people don't know anything.

The streets are crowded, men, women and children are packing up their luggage and valuables, and some people are rushing to buy food, but most of these people are the families of officers, and the common people have nothing to clean up, so what's wrong with the Eighth Route Army coming? I heard that the discipline of the Eighth Route Army is very strict, it is very good to the people, and it is better to come, this is all the thoughts of the people, and those officials and wives will not think so.

Looking at it, this guy finally chose a place as his headquarters, and the place he chose was Jintaiguan, the commanding height of the entire Baoji.

Xu Bao took a few entourages to take three steps and two steps, panting and climbing to the commanding heights of the whole city, and when he raised his eyes, he could see clearly inside and outside the city.

Standing on the Jintai Temple, you can clearly see the siege troops of the People's Liberation Army with a telescope, looking at the dense PLA soldiers outside the city, Xu Bao's heart is also panicked, yes, there are too many communist troops, and I can't seem to resist this little bit of people, what should I do? Break out now?

First, as soon as he finished his big words, he immediately ran away and his face was a little unbearable, and he was also a lieutenant general and division commander, and his face was still a little bit.

Second, even if I run out, Chief Hu can't spare me, without Chief Hu's promotion, am I Xu Bao? Neither.

Just when Xu Bao was thinking about it and was undecided, Hu Zongnan's telegram came, and Commander Hu told him, a trusted general, not to panic, that Pei Changhui's Fifth Corps was coming from Fuping and Sanyuan in three ways, and Ma Jiyuan's 82nd Division was also going down from Longnan and was galloping to Baoji in the starry night.

Hu Zongnan's telegram made Xu Bao have some psychology to run and stabilize it, this kid kept thinking in his head, although there are few people in Baoji, how can there be more people than Yangyin Huan in Luochuan, he can hold Luochuan, why can't I keep Baoji? If it is done, then Lao Tzu will really be a great achievement, and his own lieutenant general and division commander will be promoted to the army commander, and when he becomes the army commander, our old Xu family is even the ancestral grave is smoking, and they all say that wealth is the danger of seeking, I Xu Bao also went out to fight with the communist army, Lao Tzu is blessed, life, and creation, maybe it will really be done.

This Master Xu Bao Xu actually thought about the good side, he didn't think about what the end would be if he lost, was it so easy to fight with the PLA? He didn't guard the two brushes of Luochuan Yangyinhuan, fighting and gambling are different, gambling loses and there is a chance to turn the book, if you lose the war, you will put your life into it, and it is impossible to turn the book.

Fuping, the headquarters of the Fifth Corps of the Kuomintang, had a grass-green military blanket on a long table, and the colonels sat straight behind the desk in their military uniforms, and a small bowl of tea was placed in front of each of them.

Commander Pei Changhui was holding a meeting with his subordinates: "Brothers, the Northwest Communist Army has now surrounded Baoji, Commander Hu and Chairman Jiang ordered us to go to the rescue, everyone will talk about what we should do next?" ”

After the last operation to rescue Luochuan, all the officers attending the meeting were very convinced by this veteran commander, not to mention that he was not from the Huangpu family, but he had a wide network in the army, and Hu Zongnan and the chairman of the NPC National Committee also wanted to save face.

As soon as Pei Changhui finished speaking, an officer immediately stood up and said: "Commander, maybe this is still Peng Dehuai's trick to encircle the point and send reinforcements, the siege of Baoji is fake, and it is true that we are attracted to the bait, I think we still have to be cautious in the use of troops, learn the lessons of Liu Kan and Yan Ming, and never fall into the trap of the communist army." ”

After the officer sat down, another one said: "Baoji is different from Luochuan, if we still walk five miles and retreat three miles like we did to rescue Luochuan, will Chief Hu let us go?" Even if Chief Hu can't control us, what will happen to Chairman Chiang in Nanjing? We can't twist our thighs with our small arms. ”

After the two officers finished speaking, the people who came to the meeting were basically divided into two factions, one faction believed that the corps should use mushroom and delay tactics like the rescue of Luochuan, and could not fall for the tricks of the communist army, and the other faction was arguing about how to explain the past to Hu Zongnan and Chairman Chiang, and as for how Baoji was going, not too many people paid attention.

Looking at the expressions of the officers, Pei Changhui secretly sighed, these people are all thinking about how to save themselves, no one thinks about how to relieve the siege of Baoji, how to destroy the communist army, the future prospects of such a force are worrying.

Patting the table, Commander Pei cleared his throat: "Everyone, now is different from the past, it is definitely not possible to use mushroom and delay tactics, and the communist army should not take me as a fool, they besieged Baoji not to encircle and send reinforcements, but to really attack, a large corps to fight, lack of modern means of transportation, can hide from others, can't hide from me Pei Changhui." ”

An officer asked tentatively: "Commander, do you mean that there is a problem with the logistics supply of the communist army?" ”

Pei Changhui: The communist army's siege of Baoji is not a siege point for reinforcements, but a fancy to the materials and ammunition stored there, mainly because they need food, this can be determined, the siege point reinforcement tactics are easy to say, but it is not so simple to use, we all know that the communist army is good at using this tactic, why are they still repeatedly fooled? That's where people come in.

The most obvious characteristic of adopting this tactic is that it is necessary to fully concentrate forces and use superior forces to fight a war of annihilation.

But now you can see that the communist army has four columns near Baoji, and the intention of placing Xu Guangda's three columns not too far from us is obvious, that is, to contain us and give the remaining four columns to gain time to attack Baoji.

The total strength of the communist army in the northwest is only more than 100,000 people, and the communist army has not been fully replenished and rested after the battle of Yichuan, don't look at them to swallow Liu Kan and Yan Ming, but they also paid the price, it is impossible to recover in a short time, those captured soldiers are soldiers, and if they don't do well, they will drag their big burden.

When they were fully loaded, I was afraid that they would use the encirclement point to send reinforcements to set us up, and now the communist army in Baoji only has six or seventy thousand people in four columns that have not been replenished, what am I afraid of him for such a force? Our Fifth Corps has six divisions of more than 70,000 people, plus Ma Bufang's 82nd Division will also come to reinforce it, and the strength will be much larger than that of the Northwest Communist Army.

"Commander, can Ma Bufang, a big warlord, also send reinforcements? Don't let them sell us with a single shot. ”

Pei Changhui: "Ma Bufang is not stupid, it doesn't matter if he engages in friction and disputes with us, does he dare not carry out the orders of the Ministry of Defense?" As long as he gives him an order in the name of the chairman, he will definitely be able to send troops. ”

Pei Chang, who stood up, looked at the generals and colonels in front of him: "I order, the whole army set off, march quickly to attack and advance, and gallop to the aid of Baoji with the greatest speed, our slogan is, eliminate the Northwest Communist Army, capture Peng Dehuai alive, and make new contributions to the party and the state."

Thank you for your tickets, the old bus is a little excited to be a little stumbling, the update of the old bus will be intermittent in the recent period, this is also no way, it is estimated that it will be a few months before the complete recovery, and now I can only take the time to update, thank you again.
