Chapter 303: Defeat is like a mountain
Chapter 3o3 is defeated
In the front-line headquarters of the Second Column of the Northwest Field Army, a commander came over and reported to Commander Wang: "Commander, a Kuomintang unit has given up on escaping and is organizing a defense on the spot, and has also seized the opportunity to carry out several counterattacks, and our attacking troops have been blocked. The full-text and ad-free novels are all on the Aishang Novel Network biquge.info"
Commander Wang, who had fought for many years, immediately guessed the intention of the Kuomintang troops, and he said to several commanders around him: "This treacherous Pei Changhui is indeed very difficult to deal with, judging from the enemy's movements, although the headquarters was defeated by the independent regiment, he, the commander, has resumed the control of the troops, which is to use a force to drag us down, so as to cover their main force to withdraw as much as possible." ”
"Commander, what should we do?"
"Order the troops, without hesitation, to surround them from both sides, and disrupt the enemy's tactical movements with interspersed actions in great depth and shake their determination to defend."
After Commander Wang's order was issued, several brigades of the second column did not attack the enemy's position, but moved quickly to intersperse the flanks of the remaining troops.
At this time, the headquarters of the division left by the Kuomintang was full of confusion, and the staff officer was full of resentment, and an officer said to the division commander: "Division, we have been the ground for two hours, and the brothers in front have suffered heavy casualties. ”
The division commander sighed and replied: "What can I do, the military order is like a mountain, and if there is no order to withdraw, it will be subject to military law." ”
As he was talking, another officer came over and reported: "Division, the communist troops have begun to move to our flanks, and if we don't leave, we will be dumplings." ”
Seeing the division commander who didn't squeak, the officer who spoke before shouted loudly: "Division, you can make up your mind, the communist army is four main columns, we only have one division, and it is already worthy of the party-state to be able to last two hours, don't believe Commander Pei's words too much, it will be too late to regret defeating our division, have you forgotten the fate of the Eighth Division?" ”
It was as if the officer's last words stabbed the division commander in the heart, only to see him stand up violently and shout to his subordinates: "Order the whole division to get out of the battle with the communist army and retreat immediately." ”
Seeing the retreating Kuomintang blocking troops, Commander Wang shouted happily: "A detour has scared them out of their hearts, it seems that the guns behind the butt pose a great threat to the enemy, order the troops to attack on all fronts, chase them to the death, tell the soldiers, capture more prisoners and surrender more guns." ”
The large corps of six divisions, if it is well organized, is a very powerful force, even if it loses the battle with the Northwest Field Army, it will be very difficult to defeat it, but I did not expect that the second column used a sudden action to scare away the covering troops of this large corps.
In this way, the blow to the Fifth Corps of the Kuomintang was devastating, and a unit without fighting spirit could not exert any combat effectiveness, and the troops of several divisions were scrambling to flee, and everyone was afraid that they would be left behind and eaten by the PLA.
At the beginning, there was still a retreat of the formation, but later they had to take care of themselves, the mountains and fields were full of people, the officers could not find the soldiers, the soldiers could not find the officers, and the baggage and weapons were thrown everywhere, especially those who were wounded, and at this time they were also thrown by the troops in the wilderness and howled.
Seeing this miserable scene, Commander Pei Changhui was about to burst into tears, it was too miserable, I didn't expect ** to fall to such a point, I originally wanted to fight a big victory, so that Chairman Jiang who was far away in Nanjing was also happy, who would have thought that in the end he would be beaten by the Communist Army, and blame this Ma Jiajun, who said that he would cooperate to exterminate the Communist Army, and he ran away halfway down the battle, and I want to complain to Chairman Jiang.
This Pei Changhui can only find the reason indiscriminately until now, the defeat is like a mountain, and he has lost effective control over the troops.
At the headquarters of the Northwest Field Army, Commander Peng Dehuai's face, which had been gloomy for several days, also showed a rare smile: "This Wang beard, there is really a way to scare away the enemy's covering troops with sudden movements, is the effect very good, since people want to run, do we also have to send off guests, order the troops to attack and advance, don't leave a chance for the enemy to breathe, chase him a fart." ”
A long reminded: "Boss, since we are chasing, we will all catch up, we still have a cavalry division in the back mountain that has not moved, and in terms of the degree of pursuit, other troops can't catch up with them." ”
This long remark immediately reminded Mr. Peng that there is not only a cavalry division in the back mountain, but also a brigade of the sixth column, and it is useless to stay in the back mountain at this time: "Order the six columns on the back mountain to teach the brigade and let them participate in the pursuit of the enemy with the cavalry division." ”
The teaching brigade and cavalry division were overjoyed after receiving the order, they had already heard a little about the battle situation on the front line, and they were all scratching their ears and cheeks in a hurry, it was impossible for the 82nd Division to come back, there was no point in guarding the back mountain, let alone eating meat, it was estimated that they would not even be able to drink soup.
After receiving the order from the headquarters, both troops rushed down from the back mountain in a hurry, bypassed Baoji City, and chased all the way.
Brigade Commander Chen Haihan of the Teaching Brigade was also anxious, and the battle with the 82nd Division stimulated him, looking at the equipment of the independent regiment, and then looking at his own troops, they were no different from calling Huazi, and the equipment of the independent regiment was not superior, it was brought back by others, and our teaching brigade was no worse than anyone else, and we also had to grab more, so as to save ourselves from being able to raise our heads in front of these boys in the future.
With this mentality, everyone from the brigade commander to the soldiers rushed like their lives, ran both legs round, and chased, and I didn't believe that anyone could run past our PLA.
The entire Northwest Field Army participated in the pursuit, of course, Li Yong's independent regiment was indispensable here, seeing that the enemy's large corps was all defeated, Li Yong told the soldiers, now is the best time for us to fight the water dogs, the whole regiment is a battalion unit, following behind the enemy's ass, I don't need to say more about what to do, you all know very well in your hearts, there is only one requirement, the weapons and equipment that are useful to us must be retrieved, the prisoners are still the old rules to pick young and good health, and the troops are not allowed to have any casualties, let's start.
The wolf-like soldiers of the Independent Regiment jumped out of the hidden place impatiently, these guys have long been used to this kind of work, and they all understand that now is a good opportunity to start, what are you waiting for if you don't grab more at this time? In particular, it is necessary to catch more prisoners, as long as the Kuomintang soldiers from the regular army are well educated, they are very good soldiers, and they must be caught more.
The cadres and soldiers of the first regiment of the fourth column who have been following the independent regiment are completely speechless, the independent regiment of the second column behaves in a very different way from other troops, you have to say that they are afraid of death, but this regiment has taken a great risk to go deep behind the enemy and take down the enemy's headquarters, you have to say that they are not afraid of death, but after the headquarters was defeated, this regiment hid, and slept without any action, and waited until the enemy was all defeated before jumping out, which is really incomprehensible, but if you can't figure it out, you can't figure it out, The independent regiment has rushed out, let's not be idle, let's chase it together.
Within a radius of dozens of miles, there was a mess of porridge, weapons and ammunition, guns and baggage, large trucks and jeeps were thrown everywhere, Li Yong was excited, and led the soldiers to move forward non-stop, but fortunately, when he hit the enemy's headquarters, more than a dozen small jeeps were captured, which came in handy at this time.
The baggage battalion followed the back of the whole regiment, they couldn't go as fast as they wanted, Lao Sun commanded his hundreds of soldiers to keep throwing the captured items on the truck, originally when they came out without a car, but at this time on the battlefield is what they want, and the car is a very common object.
This also has something to do with the fact that the soldiers of other troops don't know how to drive, they all know that it's a good thing, but it's useless to not be able to tinker, Fei Tie's cars used to be burned, and when I saw that someone drove it, I also saved the fire, which is good, it's cheap independent regiment.
There were more and more prisoners behind him, more and more cars, and the team of the independent regiment gradually expanded, so big that later the political commissar Wang Chengde couldn't stand it: "Dayong, it's almost over, no matter how much we catch, we can't digest it, and we can't eat it if we want to." ”
Li Yong also understood that what Wang Chengde said was right, and it was really unbearable to catch too much, and groups of Kuomintang soldiers were sitting on the ground waiting for the People's Liberation Army to come and contain them, and the big guns were all placed by his side and motionless.
The pursuing soldiers didn't even look at them, they chased them down one by one, what is the use of more than a dozen or twenty captives, fishing for a big lump is the last word.
From morning to noon, it is estimated that the entire field army will have to run out for dozens of miles, and Mr. Peng ordered the troops to collect their troops and stop chasing.
The Kuomintang troops were equipped with a large number of cars, and the long-term pursuit of them consumed too much on the soldiers' bodies, and it was okay in the mountains, and the cars did not play a big role, but once they reached a relatively flat terrain, it was a bit unrealistic to chase the wheels of the cars with two legs.
The independent regiment that received the order turned around and retreated like other troops, but unlike other troops, this time it was to get back a large amount of supplies and ammunition, and the things that were fished back made people look red, it stands to reason that the chances are the same when chasing out, and no one will let go of good things when they see them, but it depends on whether you have the ability to take them back.
The Independence Regiment has an advantage that no other soldier has in the army, that is, almost all of them can drive cars, which is not a big deal now, but it was a remarkable feature at the time.
The amount of a person who can carry is very limited, at most he can only carry a few rifles, a few hundred bullets and a few grenades, and he can't take back when he sees good things.
