Forcibly enduring He Cuihua's enthusiasm, or harassment, Li Yong did not make any out-of-the-ordinary moves, because he was no longer the young hairy young man he used to be, but the commander of a brigade, the supreme commander of a strong army, he had no determination at all, how could he achieve great things in the future, he didn't say anything for a night, and the troops continued to march on the third day.
After starting from Qamdo, the troops have been walking for two whole days, and today is the third day, according to the marching speed of the Duli brigade, although it is not fast, it can still go out more than 500 kilometers, that is to say, more than half of the journey from Qamdo to Lhasa.
With a large number of prey replenishment, the logistics crisis of the Duli Brigade has been alleviated to a great extent, from the brigade commander and political commissar to every soldier, the mood is good, the mood is good, it seems that the speed has also improved, the troop is more than half of the journey, and sometimes you can see sporadic Tibetan people on the way, which shows that the Duli Brigade is getting closer and closer to the target Lhasa.
The closer the target, the greatest danger, from past experience, human beings are the most dangerous creatures, more dangerous than the most ferocious animals, Li Yong ordered the whole brigade, attack and advance, strengthen vigilance while marching, if there is a provocation and unknown motives, they can all be killed, regardless of killing.
Political commissar Wang Chengde was a little incomprehensible to the order given by Li Yong, thinking that it was too tough, Li Yong told him, this is nothing, our Duli Brigade is such a big target, a fool can also understand that it is the People's Liberation Army on the march, ordinary people have long been hiding far away, who can dare to come to provoke in this situation? It must be our enemy, and we must not show the slightest mercy or softness to the enemy, and must crush all of them to pieces.
The troops suddenly increased the speed of their march and rolled forward in a brute manner, and Li Yong's second order was to take the 1st and 2nd infantry battalions as the mainstay. Supplemented by a part of the reconnaissance battalion, an avant-garde unit was formed, which advanced at full speed on the premise of ensuring safety, arrived at the designated position in advance, and opened the way for the main force of the Duli brigade, and the commander of the avant-garde unit was Li Jiangguo, the commander of the first battalion.
The first battalion commander Li Jiangguo, the second battalion commander Ma Quanyou, the reconnaissance battalion commander Zhang Jinsong, and the three Duli brigade generals stood in front of Li Yong and Wang Chengde. You are all veterans of the Duli Brigade, and you are very clear about the combat style of our brigade, and the requirements of the brigade party committee are that the avant-garde troops advance lightly and arrive as soon as possible. Shorten the reaction time of the opponent and lay the foundation for the main force of the brigade to move in.
Why temporarily create a crack avant-garde force. Li Yong, of course, has his own considerations. From the third day of the march, signs of human activity had been seen around the Duli Brigade, and who knew if there were any spies from hostile forces among the humans in these activities, and when their whereabouts were exposed, a force that could move quickly could take the opponent by surprise.
Because of the drag of the tank battalion and the heavy artillery battalion, the advance speed of the Duli brigade was no more than twenty or thirty kilometers per hour. This speed was not much faster than that of the cavalry, and the speed of the avant-garde troops, which consisted mainly of the first and second battalions of infantry and a part of the scouts, could be at least doubled.
The heavy mechanized units look very imposing, but they are very demanding on the road conditions, take the tank battalion of the Duli brigade as an example. Most of them are old models of tanks and armored vehicles, more than 1,000 kilometers of rugged roads, all driven by motorized tracks, it is a miracle that they have not been able to lie down until now, it is impossible to expect them to increase their speed, among which the repair company of Sanniu has the greatest output.
Sanniu, like Xiaocheng, used to be Li Yong's guard, and was seriously wounded in the Battle of Yulin, since he became the company commander of the repair company, this young man, who was not much younger than Li Yong, devoted all his energy to the construction of the company, and the repair company also continued to grow and develop in his hands, so that it became a key force in whether the whole brigade could quickly maneuver.
Under the maintenance of various logistical support capabilities, the Duli Brigade is like an iron current filled with murderous aura, rushing forward, and all the obstructive forces in front of it will be crushed into ashes by them.
Li Jiangguo, the commander of the first battalion, expressed his determination on behalf of the avant-garde troops, and this guy, who had always liked to joke, had a cold face at this time: "Please rest assured, commander, please rest assured that the brigade party committee will definitely complete the task and remove all obstacles on the way forward." ”
Li Yong: "You are the commander of the avant-garde army, you can make your own decisions in case of emergencies, remember the rules of our brigade, and you can't do things that are at a loss, otherwise I will ask you." ”
Do things without suffering, is it a rule that was set when the Duli Brigade was still a company, and it has been doing so all these years, of course, Li Jiangguo and the three of them know very well in their hearts.
Li Yong has great respect for the veterans of the Duli Brigade, and rarely says cruel words to them, they are really heroes who rolled out of the pile of dead people, and today, because of the uncertainty of the situation, in order to increase their confidence, they put cruel words on Li Jiangguo's head.
Two and a half battalions, with a strength of nearly 3,000 men, under the leadership of Li Jiangguo, the commander of the first battalion, left the main force of the brigade and galloped away at full speed, and the dust raised by the wheels formed a gray-yellow earth dragon on both sides of the convoy.
Night is approaching, the sunset is like blood, and the sunset is like blood, as if it is heralding some kind of uncertain factor.
Lhasa, the Regent's Palace, the regent of Dazha is looking at a telegram with great concern, this telegram was taken and sent a few days ago, and he has read it I don't know how many times, the surrounding of the telegram has been rolled up with stubble, and the more I look at it, the more bitter it is.
On 5 October 1950, various units of the Southwest Military Region of the People's Liberation Army (PLA) forcibly crossed the Jinsha River and launched the Qamdo Campaign, which had been prepared for many days.
The dozen or so Tibetan regiments guarding the Jinsha River were so vulnerable and defeated that even the telegram of the People's Liberation Army launching the campaign was sent a week later.
The battle began on October 5, and it was not until the 12th that the Regent Dazha received the telegram, and the efficiency of the Tibetan army's intelligence system can be imagined, but this also reflects the rapid pace of the PLA troops at that time.
In order to prevent turmoil and panic in various places, the Lhasa authorities decided to block the news that the People's Liberation Army had crossed the Jinsha River defense line and that the main force of the Tibetan army had been completely annihilated. How many days can you live? Daza's heart was dripping blood.
Just when Dazha was nervous, a bent subordinate walked in, this subordinate first stretched out his hands and stretched out his tongue and said, "Master, a few of the spies we sent out have returned, and they said that there is an important situation to report to you. ”
Rubbing a few green tendons beside his temples, Dazha stood up violently and shouted in a hoarse throat, "Let them in, hurry." ”
A few people in leather robes walked in, and it could be seen from the dust on their hats and clothes that they must have been in a hurry, and a leader bowed to Dazha, and said in a respectful tone: "Lord, the big thing is not good, Jinshajiang and Chang have not been able to stop the footsteps of the communist army, the babies are more than lucky, we saw the troops of the People's Liberation Army on the way." ”
The news of the fall of the Jinsha River defense line and Qamdo Dazha has long known that he is now concerned about where the PLA has gone and how many people can be there.
Dazha, who gritted his teeth, asked hungrily and fiercely: "How many people are there in the communist army?" What kind of weapons and equipment did they bring? ”
"Back to the prince's words, the number of the People's Liberation Army is too much, they are all sitting in the car, and the car is covered with a cloth, so it is not clear how many people there are at all, the vigilance of the communist army is very high, and the scouts are released a few kilometers away, and we dare not get too close, so the exact number of people is not clear, but it is estimated that it is more than 10,000 people, as for weapons and equipment, we have seen countless artillery and tanks, and we can't see the head at a glance, it is terrible, it is terrible."
When the last sentence was very scary, the leader of the spy couldn't help but tremble, as if he saw the terrible scene again, the prince of Dazha was hit by the five thunders of anger, and he was scared like this when he described the situation, how to confront the PLA in the future, I really wanted to kill the spy who reported with one shot, but after thinking about it, the spies who were sent out to spy on intelligence were all selected elites, and it was the season to use people, so it was a pity to kill like this.
Holding back the anger in his heart, Dazha continued to ask, "How far is the PLA from us?" ”
"If you go back to the prince, according to their speed, there are still two to three days to go."
A two-day trip meant that Lhasa had more than two days to prepare, and two days could do a lot of things, and after Dazha asked a few spies to go out to rest, he summoned a person, and after a whisper, this person also went out.
Dazha was left alone in the room, and the murals and various decorations that he felt comfortable in the past seemed to have lost their previous meaning at this moment, and Dazha muttered in his mouth: "The communist army, the communist army, is it really as rumored that they want a communist wife?" If it's true, it's terrible. ”
Dazha suffered from gains and losses in a trance, with fear of sin and remorse in his heart, regretting the reckless decision he made at the beginning, if he hadn't given the order to confront the People's Liberation Army, maybe the dozen or so generations of babies would not have died! That's more than a dozen generations, tens of thousands of babies, only a few days have disappeared, what else is there in Lhasa now? There are only a few Tibetan army regiments and some private soldiers of the leaders whose combat effectiveness is not on the table, and at best they are only a few thousand people, so can they rely on these thousands of people to continue to confront the PLA? )
