Chapter 494: The Real Reason for the Battle of Lanzhou

The old chief's analysis made Li Yong and Wang Chengde psychologically brightened, Division Commander Zhao is worthy of being a commander from the old Red Army, he has fought a lot of battles, and he looks at the problem very viciously, what he said is also a problem that Li Yong has been thinking about psychologically, but Li Yong himself has been pondering in private before, and this time it is more credible for Division Commander Zhao to say it

The conversation between Li Yong and Division Commander Zhao made Wang Chengde feel a little suddenly enlightened, no wonder Dayong has been letting the troops prepare for the city attack, it turns out that the reason is here, Dayong is really a bit of a god, how can he know that the Independent Brigade will participate in the attack on Lanzhou? It seems that he still has to study more, didn't Master Zhao guess with Dayong all of a sudden.

Division Commander Zhao, who had a brief greeting with the two of them for a while, did not stay too long, and led the soldiers of the Fourth Division and the Second Regiment to continue to move forward with the flow of people in the large army, the time was urgent, the task of the Second Army was to advance to the Xining area, and the Independent Brigade had no news of its return at all, which made the Independent Brigade and the Second Army, which were originally one unit, more and more farther and farther, and it seemed that they didn't know when they would have to wait until they wanted to meet again.

A half-new jeep turned out of the marching sequence, and stopped in front of Li Yong and Wang Chengde with a "squeak", Li Yong took a closer look, good guy, several main leaders of the Second Army are there, Army Commander Guo Peng, Political Commissar Wang Enmao, plus his old chief Deputy Army Commander Chen.

Without too much nonsense, Commander Guo Peng said: "The order of the Corps was issued to you and a copy was also sent to us, and we don't know the specific tasks, but no matter what special tasks there are, don't lose the prestige of our Second Army, do a good job, a few of us are waiting to hear your good news." ”

Wang Enmao, the political commissar who laughed ha, also said: "The big war is coming, we are about to separate, what else does your brigade need to be solved in the army, hurry up and say it, we will do our best to supply, and there will be no chance if we grind again." ”

Li Yong was quite moved, the family background of the Second Army is not rich, how can he reach out at this time, and if there is a problem, he must solve it himself, and finally Deputy Commander Chen instructed: "The corps headquarters is still half a day away from us, Commander Wang is waiting for you, if there is nothing big, set off immediately, and leave the work of supplying the large army first, don't you see the front migrant workers behind!" Our first corps is not the same as ever. ”

The troops that strode forward were accompanied by countless local migrant workers, horse-drawn carriages, donkey carts, and wheelbarrows pulled by manpower, all kinds of means of transportation, and the cars were pulled by the food, ammunition, and various medical equipment urgently needed by the troops, and some wounded and sick people who had walked on crutches were also dragged over by the villagers and pressed on the car, these migrant workers were divided into multiple teams according to the region, each team was holding a flag with the name of the front team, and the whole team displayed red flags.

Mr. Chen Yi and Mr. Chen famously asserted that the victory in the Huaihai Campaign was pushed by the common people with wheelbarrows after the East China Field Army (Sanye) fought the Huaihai Campaign.

In the past, Li Yong thought that this was deliberately said by Mr. Chen in order to praise the enthusiasm of the migrant workers, but now it seems that Mr. Chen is not exaggerating, and the army without the support of the people is water without a source and a tree without roots.

Bidding farewell to the Second Army on the march and the Old Second Regiment, the Independent Brigade marched in the opposite direction of the large army, and finally found the headquarters of the First Corps - a small quadrangle when the troops camped in the evening.

The big man of the commander's guard was standing guard outside the door, and when he saw Li Yong and Wang Chengde hurriedly pulled the two of them in, Li Yong and Wang Chengde felt strange, the big man was the commander's personal guard, and the work of standing outside the door was not his turn, what was going on today?

Wang Chengde asked as he walked: "Big man, why is this guy on duty, what is the Corps Guard Company doing?" It can't be that there are no people at all, right? ”

The big man smiled and saluted Li Yong and Wang Chengde: "Two chiefs, the commander asked me to stand guard, he estimated that you were almost there, isn't it, I have been asked to guard outside the door." ”

The big man became a soldier very early, fought countless battles, was wounded in many places, and was the old qualification of the second column, it was precisely because of his bravery that Commander Wang took a fancy to this young man and let him be his own guard, according to his qualifications and combat experience, he was qualified to be a battalion commander and regiment commander in the combat unit, especially when there was a shortage of veterans now, but the big man said that he didn't like to be an officer, so he was willing to be a guard for the commander, and later facts also proved it, Thanks to a veteran like the big man, Commander Wang can be out of danger several times, the last time Commander Wang was injured was carried down by the big man, in front of such old soldiers, Li Yong and Wang Chengde can not put on any brigade commander and political commissar posture, Li Yong stepped forward and moved the big man's saluted hand down: "Big man, what kind of trouble are you guys doing, take us to see the commander." ”

Commander Wang, who was holding his high sleeves, was very interested, looked at Li Yong and Wang Chengde, who came to report, and shouted: "Hehe, you two boys are here, the independent brigade fought well, and when the battle is over, I and the party committee of the corps will give you a great credit, and tell you one more thing, don't look at the telegram that asked you to come back was signed by me, and it was not me who gave this order." ”

Li Yong and Wang Chengde wondered at that time, whether the telegram was sent by the headquarters of the First Corps or issued by the commander, and who gave the order, not the commander.

Commander Wang laughed: "Okay, don't let you play dumb riddles, I am the one who issued the telegram, but it was Mr. Peng who gave the order, you know, it was Mr. Peng who asked you to come back." “

Li Yong and Wang Chengde looked at each other, and when they heard Commander Wang say this, the matter is really not trivial, there is nothing important, where would Mr. Peng cross the two-level system of the corps and the military headquarters of the Second Army and personally give orders to a brigade-level unit, there must be something strange in this.

The Independent Brigade has always been a direct unit of the second column to follow Commander Wang's headquarters to act together, Li Yong and Wang Chengde are not familiar with Commander Wang, and there is no ordinary junior officer who sees the crampedness of the senior chief, Li Yongtian stepped forward with a face and asked: "Commander, give us a little leak, you see that my heart is like a cat scratching, it's very itchy." ”

Commander Wang laughed again: "Okay, it's not a bad thing to leak it to you, let you also prepare early, do you know how many troops our field army wants to use to encircle and annihilate the Qingma Army in Lanzhou?" ”

Wang Chengde, who had not spoken, replied: "Didn't we use our First Corps at first, plus the Second Corps and the Nineteenth Corps, but later the tasks of our First Corps changed, and the field army asked us to cut off the enemy's retreat while preventing enemy reinforcements from Qinghai and Xinjiang, and to attack Xining, the capital of Qinghai Province, and go straight to Ma Bufang's lair, so that the enemy in Lanzhou who surrounded and annihilated would be left with two corps, the Second Corps and the Nineteenth Corps." ”

Commander Wang nodded: "That's basically what it means, but there is another point that you didn't say right, the 19th Corps did not use all its strength, and they had to send out a 64th Army to monitor Ma Hongkui in Ningxia, so the strength that the field army can take out to encircle and annihilate Lanzhou is the three corps of the 2nd Corps (the 3rd, 4th, and 6th Armies) and the 63rd and 64th armies of the 19th Corps, a total of five armies. ”

Commander Wang, who took a breath, continued: "The five armies seem to be a lot, but the city defense of Lanzhou is very strong, and the combat effectiveness of the Qingma Army is very strong, Mr. Peng is worried that the siege force is insufficient, and the powerful firepower of your brigade has left a deep impression on the leaders, which makes Mr. Peng determined to transfer you out of our first corps, participate in the Lanzhou Campaign, encircle and annihilate the Qingma Army, the total number of artillery pieces in your brigade exceeds 100, right?" It's a pity that such a force doesn't go to Lanzhou. ”

Commander Wang stopped when he said this, looked at Li Yong and Wang Chengde and said, "This is the real reason for letting you come back, do you have any ideas?" ”

Li Yong and Wang Chengde glanced at each other again, both of them saw a trace of excitement in each other's eyes, and on such an occasion, it was still the military commander Li Yong who answered, Li Yong puffed up his chest: "Commander, the Kuomintang is about to finish, the liberation of the whole country is imminent, the Lanzhou Campaign should be the last major battle in the Northwest Battlefield, as long as the military group of Qinghai Ma Bufang can be solved, the future battle will be easy to fight, and there will be no more strength to face to face with our army in the Northwest Battlefield, so say, The Battle of Lanzhou was a key battle that decided the situation in the Northwest War, and the troops participating in this battle will go down in history. ”

Commander Wang slapped the table violently: "That's right, as long as the tumor of the Qingma Army is cut off, the entire Northwest Battlefield will be the only one, and the remaining Hu Zongnan, Ma Hongkui and Liu Ren (Deputy Director of the Northwest Military and Political Chief's Office, Central Military System) are all out of the question, and the process of national liberation can be further accelerated, go, set off tomorrow morning, get back all the honor you deserve, don't let me be a commander to lose face." ”

After returning from Commander Wang's headquarters, the things that have been conjecturing have been completely confirmed, the independent brigade was personally named by Mr. Peng to participate in the Lanzhou campaign, although I have not seen Mr. Peng, the specific task is not clear, but the work that should be done can not be pulled down at all, the entire independent brigade once again set off a pre-war training boom, the soldiers are very clear, the brigade commander once said the truth is simple and clear, sweat more before the war, less bloodshed during the war, not many words, but very effective.

Li Yong and Wang Chengde seized every bit of time to inspect the work of various units, and they had to see in detail every shell and every bag of explosives.
