The surrender of the Kuomintang Second Tank Regiment made Li Yong and Wang Chengde and others put down a big stone in their hearts, so many days of hard work has finally not been in vain, according to Wang Chengde's words, Dayong may have been thinking about this tank regiment when he was conducting reconnaissance in Xi'an, and today it finally came to fruition.

Accompanied by the new assistant Jiang Tiexiong and a large number of officers of the original Second Tank Regiment, Li Yong and the commander of the First Independent Brigade went to inspect the weapons and equipment of the tank regiment to see what good things the newly brought back tank regiment had.

Among these Kuomintang officers who surrendered, only the regiment commander Jiang Tiexiong changed into a People's Liberation Army uniform, although he is now the assistant to the brigade commander, but he is still very sensitive to Li Yong's feelings, seeing that Li Yong did not squeak, and there was no happy smile on his face, he asked cautiously: "Sir, what do you think of the equipment of our tank regiment?" ”

Li Yong: "I said Lao Jiang, don't shout any commander, our PLA troops don't want to shout this, you call Lao Li or Dayong, or call the brigade commander." ”

Jiang Tiexiong clicked his lips, this title is really a problem, the PLA troops are not allowed to call the commander, what is it called? Called Dayong? No, this is not called by those of us who have just surrendered, and we don't dare to call it, call it Lao Li? No, looking at the brigade commander's age, he is just in his early twenties, and Lao Li can't call it out of his mouth, so it seems that he still calls the brigade commander.

When Jiang Tiexiong was thinking about how to call Li Yong, Li Yong was also thinking about how to call Jiang Tiexiong: "Hey, I said Lao Jiang, why do I feel so awkward when I call you, Lao Jiang, Lao Jiang, a little bit of a feeling of shouting Chiang Kai-shek, you won't have any relationship with Chiang Kai-shek and their family, right?" ”

Li Yong's inadvertent joke made Jiang Tiexiong break out in a cold sweat, although he has no relationship with Chairman Jiang of the National Government, but he does know the second son Jiang Weiguo, and the relationship is not bad (the second son Jiang Weiguo is the deputy commander of the armored forces of the Kuomintang, and he is also the actual person in power, and the officers above the regimental level in the tank corps basically know each other): "The brigade commander told a joke, how can a little person like me have relatives with Chiang Kai-shek, but his surname is Chiang, and this can't be changed, hehehehehe." ”

Li Yong also smiled: "I said Lao Jiang, look at you in a hurry, even if you have relatives with Chiang Kai-shek, what can you do, now you are a soldier of our People's Liberation Army, that is, our own people, our People's Liberation Army does not talk about Zhulian, others are others, I am myself, my Li Yong is still surnamed Li, and it has something to do with the current acting president of the Kuomintang government, Li Zongren?" Nothing like that. ”

Li Jia, the communications platoon commander who was following Li Yong, also made a rare joke: "Commander Jiang, the two health captains of our brigade are surnamed Hu (Hu Xiaolian and Hu Xiaoling), and they have nothing to do with Hu Zongnan, and my surname is Li, and I have nothing to do with Li Zongren." ”

A burst of laughter made Jiang Tiexiong relaxed, and being able to be the commander of the armored corps also showed that this guy's head was good, and then he asked again: "Brigade commander, what do you think of the equipment of our regiment?" ”

Li Yong sighed: "It's not good, it's all old guys, or it's light, I've watched all the way, it's either M3A3 Stuart or the Soviet T26, I said Lao Jiang, do you have any better goods in your regiment." ”

Brigade Commander Li shocked Jiang Tiexiong and the officers who surrendered, at first these officers thought that the PLA Tubalu, who had never seen the world, could understand something, and the Tubalu, who had taken a few rifles and grenades as treasures, had not to hold these tanks to the sky, but he didn't expect this small brigade commander of the PLA to understand tanks so well?

They were very surprised, but the old man of the independent brigade was accustomed to it, hum, what is this, our brigade commander doesn't know anything, not to mention your tanks, our brigade commander even understands the planes in the sky, and the warships in the sea probably also understand.

"It's nothing, our independent brigade had a few Stuarts before, the caliber of the gun was thirty-seven mm, plus two vehicle-mounted machine guns, it was okay, the Soviet T26 turret was welded with a circle of steel bars, and there were four carrier wheels in the walking part, the characteristics are obvious, the discerning person can understand at a glance, the caliber of the gun is 45 mm, the self-weight is nine and a half tons, the ability to cross the trench is two meters, the firepower is slightly stronger than the Stuart, but the armor protection ability is average, in general, the performance of these two tanks is about the same, big road goods, But fortunately, these tanks have on-board wireless intercoms, which is very convenient for the coordinated operation of armored units, which is much better than the previous little devil tanks. ”

Li Yong's explanation and evaluation made these officers and soldiers of the chariot regiment who thought they were superior very embarrassed, and Jiang Tiexiong replied a little embarrassed: "Brigade commander, our regiment originally still had some good tanks, but it was transferred to the ** Li Yannian Corps during the Huaihai Campaign, and was later wiped out by your army on the battlefield." ”

Political Commissar Wang Chengde interjected: "Lao Jiang, at this time, what is the noble army and the noble army has been wiped out by our People's Liberation Army." ”

Jiang Tiexiong nodded hurriedly: "Yes, yes, it was wiped out by our People's Liberation Army during the Huaihai Campaign." ”

Li Yong: "What type of tank did your regiment seconded to Li Yannian's corps?" ”

Jiang Tiexiong: "The M4A4 of the two battalions are all new. ”

Li Yong: "The caliber of the gun is 75 mm, it is a medium tank from the United States, and its firepower and protection are much stronger than those of the Stuart, which is a real good thing, but it's a pity." ”

One of the former chariot regiment officers beside Jiang Tiexiong said: "Report to the chief, our regiment still has four M4s. ”

Li Yong nodded: "Four is four, just enough for a tank platoon, and we will use this tank platoon as a sharp knife in the future." ”

After some careful counting, although the second tank regiment of the Kuomintang claims to be a tank regiment, in fact there is only one tank battalion with combat capacity, and there are only more than 900 personnel, and the two new M4 tank battalions as the main force have been transferred, and the remaining tank battalion is also based on the old Stuart and T26, and there are only four of the latest M4A4, and the number of several tanks together is more than 30, which is okay, and it is gratifying that the materials left by this tank regiment are very rich. There is plenty of oil and ammunition, and there are a large number of modified armored vehicles, the number is more than fifty, although there is no power of tanks, but it can be regarded as invincible against infantry and cavalry in the northwest battlefield, no matter what, the independent brigade can be regarded as a fortune, and it can be called an explosive household and a rich man in the division and brigade level troops of Yiye.

After solving the problem of the tank regiment, Li Yong and Wang Chengde freed up their hands to post a notice on the whole city, announcing the discipline of the People's Liberation Army, although the brigade of more than 9,000 people is not a few, but in the city of Xi'an, it is nothing like sprinkling pepper noodles.

Li Yong didn't want to do such a chaotic thing as local security, but there was no way, Xi'an has only one PLA unit so far, and if they want to hand it over to other troops, they will have to do it the next day at the earliest, according to the historical information that Li Yong has mastered, the independent brigade will at least be responsible for the defense of Xi'an for one night, but in any case, Xi'an is officially liberated, and the time is the afternoon of May 19, 49, which is the time when the independent brigade enters the city.

The next day, on the morning of May 20, 49, the 6th Corps of the 2nd Corps arrived, and the vanguard was the 49th Regiment of the 16th Division.

The soldiers of the 49th Regiment launched an attack line outside the city, using various terrain features as a cover to attack the West City Gate of Xi'an.

Closer, closer, the soldiers of the 49th Regiment became more and more strange, the entire city defense force of Xi'an did not react at all to the approach of their entire regiment, and the soldiers standing guard at the gate not only did not make any tactical moves, but seemed to be watching the excitement and laughing.

When they got closer, everyone understood that the troops standing guard in front of the city gate were not Kuomintang troops at all, but PLA soldiers wearing gray uniforms like them.

What's going on here? Besides our Sixth Army, who else is moving so fast? The soldiers of the 49th Regiment got up from the ground a little angrily, and the people who stood at the door were their own people, no need to ask, Xi'an must have been occupied, and the soldiers shouted to each other: "What are you doing lying on the ground waiting for people to see jokes?" Hurry up. ”

A jeep drove over from behind with a stream of loess face, and a commander jumped out of the car and asked the soldier standing guard with a slightly unsightly face: "Hey, I said which unit are you from?" When did you come over? ”

The few soldiers of the Independent Brigade standing guard in front of the gate don't care whether the commander's face is good-looking or not, our Independent Brigade is fought in a war, not frightened, it doesn't matter who you are.

These soldiers who were standing guard Niu B took it vigorously, and replied with a strong chest: "The Independent Brigade of the Second Army arrived yesterday afternoon, Xi'an has been occupied by us, which part are you?" It's late. ”

This commander was snorted angrily by the soldiers of the Independent Brigade: "From the 16th Division of the Sixth Army, I am the commander of the 49th Regiment, where is your brigade commander?" ”

"I'm sorry, it's not for you to ask where our brigade commander is, your level is not equal to our brigade commander, I want to inquire about your division commander."

Several of the soldiers standing guard at the gate were all soldiers of Zhang Jinsong's reconnaissance battalion, and these boys usually do a lot of reconnaissance work, and they are brave thieves, and they choked back when they saw that the regiment commander did not respect his brigade commander very much.
