In the ** army in the northwest, it is not only Mr. Peng and the headquarters of the field army that do this, but also the **, when he went around in circles in the mountains with Hu Zongnan, the party Central Committee codenamed Ninth Detachment only had four missing infantry companies around him, with more than 50 people in each company, a total of more than 200 soldiers, and the weapons used were also rags eliminated from the front line.

Li Yuming replied to the soldiers around him a little depressed: "Since the long said that there is no problem, then there is no problem, what can I do, all the way forward, and catch up with the troops in the fastest time." ”

No matter what Li Yuming and his soldiers think, perhaps the decision of Mr. Peng and the head of the headquarters is correct, and the tank is the most important combat weapon in the PLA at this stage, and it is much better to put it on the front line than to do guard work.

On the front line of the Sixth Column, the Kuomintang reorganized the 65th Division with all its strength, using artillery, tanks, and planes to frantically attack the positions of the People's Liberation Army.

The Kuomintang troops, who had come from Guangdong, thought that they had seen a bargain, and that the PLA positions would not last long under the continuous firepower, and the officers and soldiers rushed upwards with shouts, hoping to break through the PLA positions in one fell swoop and show their merits in front of President Chiang in Nanjing.

The casualties of the Sixth Column were huge under the fierce attack, especially the teaching brigade in the most central position, and the casualties of this hard-nosed PLA unit had already exceeded half, and a brigade of more than 8,000 people had less than 4,000 casualties in the afternoon, and more than half of the casualties had been lost in less than a day, and the teaching brigade had already been wounded and broken, but the soldiers still did not retreat, and since the higher authorities had not yet given the order to retreat, they would hold on even if they were exhausted.

The positions of several brigades of the whole column are tight, and the troops that the column can draw out are all on the front-line positions, and there is no support force to teach the brigade, so the brigade commander Chen Haihan has used all the forces he can use, and the guard company of the brigade headquarters has also gone to the front of the position early, and the current brigade commander and political commissar each have only one guard by their side.

Later, the logistics department of the brigade also informed Brigade Commander Chen that the ammunition of the column was almost gone, and Brigade Commander Chen understood that the final time was coming.

The PLA troops are not afraid of sacrifice or hardship, and the morale of the cadres and fighters is high, but logistics is a fatal weakness that affects combat effectiveness, and this shortcoming has not been well resolved, especially in the great northwest, which is famous for its poverty, because it has no industrial production capacity, and all the needs to maintain the war must be obtained from the front line; if there are no major captures in one or two battles, the next battle will basically be impossible to fight.

Of course, Mr. Peng was very aware of the weakness of the troops, and several battles were aimed at the rear bases of the Kuomintang, including Panlong Town in the earliest days, Bao Jī later, and Yan'an, which was recently taken, all of which had the strategic intention of replenishing consumption, not only for political reasons.

After several battles, the logistical supply of the troops has been greatly improved, but it is only an improvement, and a new problem has emerged, this problem is transportation, there was nothing before, the troops drilled ravines all the year round, and the soldiers left with limited food and ammunition.

Now it can be regarded as having a little family background, but because of the means of transportation, there is no way to use the fastest degree to transport it, so the logistics problem is a big thing that requires all departments and all aspects to cooperate with the action, and the current ** people have not fully understood the importance of this problem.

(It completely means that fighting a war is to fight logistics or to face the joint ** on the Korean battlefield, at that time the PLA troops realized that they could not confront the modern army without adequate logistics support, these are all later words)

At that time, the soldiers had three fears, one was afraid of no bullets, the second was afraid of no food, and the third was afraid that no one would lift them down if they were wounded.

Now it is the most critical time, and the personnel who have been holding their positions are much smaller than those of the Kuomintang army, and if they run out of ammunition, they can only fight with the enemy with bayonets, and those who use cold weapons to fight have an absolute advantage, especially when they are already sleepy and short of horses.

The Kuomintang reorganized 65th Division has three infantry brigades, of which the main force is the 1st Brigade, the brigade commander surnamed Huang is Huang Zhiyu, with the rank of major general, is an extremely arrogant and ambitious guy, division commander Li Zhen wants to be the deputy commander of the corps, and this guy's goal is the commander of the 65th Division.

Li Zhen, the sperm division commander, understands the thoughts of his subordinates very well, does the water flow to a high place, and it is not a bad thing to want to be a division commander, so this guy will openly shout at the pre-war mobilization meeting, and he is not afraid to be a division commander, but it depends on whose ability is greater, the three brigades of our division are treated equally, and whoever breaks through the position of the communist army first is the lieutenant general and division commander of our reorganized 65th Division.

The brigade commander Huang Zhiyu was stimulated by Li Zhen's call, hum, it seems that the words of the division commander are for me, my brigade has the most personnel, the best weapons and equipment, the strongest combat effectiveness, and the relationship between Lao Tzu and the division commander is the best, who else can do this lieutenant general and division commander except for me Huang?

Therefore, this guy gathered all the officers of his brigade and held a meeting, and swore to his subordinates that the opportunity of our brigade is coming, and it is a good opportunity to be planted. It has to be with you brothers, the three armies are killed, we don't believe in the communist army that can't do anything.

Huang Zhiyu has this idea, the ideas of the brigade commanders of the other two brigades are no worse than him, what's wrong with the brigade, what is the main brigade, it's not because of the division commander's care, or you Huang Zhiyu is a fart, and the brigade commander of the main brigade, I think it's a rotten thing, don't look at your relationship with the division commander is good, but the charter announced by the division commander at the division meeting will not be changed, if my brigade breaks through the position of the communist army, we will also be the division commander, damn, let your surname Huang see what the main force is.

Therefore, after the battle began, the 65th Division was extremely fierce, and the three main brigades all attacked and advanced to the positions of the People's Liberation Army as if they were desperate, and the special brigade, under the mobilization of the brigade commander, all the officers of the brigade stripped off their shirts, exposed their white shirts, and held submachine guns in their hands, and charged with the soldiers under the cover of artillery fire.

The movements of the 65th Division, Brigade Commander Chen Haihan, saw it very clearly in the binoculars, and wanted to play with our PLA? You are still tender, if you want to compare weapons and personnel and equipment, the PLA is very likely to be inferior to the opponent, but if you want to compare courage with the PLA, then what kind of 65th Division is you, you are a pure grandson, not even a grandson.

The training brigade ran out of bullets, the grenades were thrown out, the artillery shells were long gone, and the telephone calls from the company, battalion, and regiment asking for ammunition support were made countless times, and the brigade's commander in charge of logistics was blistering at the lips.

Brigade Commander Chen Haihan's face was pale, he took off the binoculars hanging on his chest, took off the military cap on his head and skimmed it out, walked to the telephone in a few steps, took the microphone and shouted: "Attention of the whole brigade, I am Chen Haihan, I order, all of them, get on the bayonet, and prepare to attack." ”

As soon as the brigade commander's order was shouted, everyone understood, and the teaching brigade was at the last moment, this was going to fight the enemy, and after giving the order, Brigade Commander Chen Haihan took off all his shirts, revealing his chest with scars from top to bottom, shirtless, scooped up a rifle with a bayonet, and rushed out of the command headquarters.

The staff officers, communications, and security personnel in the headquarters looked at each other and yelled, Damn, what are you waiting for? After fighting with the enemy, everyone stripped naked together and followed Brigade Commander Chen Haihan to the forward position.

The arrival of the brigade commander made the blood boil among the soldiers on the forward position, and looking at Brigade Commander Chen, who was carrying a bayonet rifle bare-chested, the soldiers also took off their shirts like the brigade commander, pressed the bayonets and lay down in the trenches.

Looking at his fighters, Brigadier Chen Haihan shouted: "Comrades, are you afraid? ”

The soldiers replied with a roar: "Brigade commander, if you are afraid, why don't you just go and see Marx and his old man, it's not a big deal." ”

What is morale, this is the morale of the troops, Brigade Commander Chen Haihan was very satisfied with the soldiers' answers: "Well said, nothing remarkable, I will go with you today to see Marx and his old man to prepare." ”

Just a few dirt roads behind the position of the Teaching Brigade, the dust was flying and the voices of people were boiling, and the men and horses of the Independent Brigade of the Second Column were rapidly approaching the position of the Teaching Brigade.

Li Yong, who was sitting in the jeep, kept spinning in his head, what was going on? Why is the sound of gunfire and grenade explosions coming from the front becoming more and more sparse? The enemy retreated? Impossible.

"Zhang Jinsong, send a troop to go up as quickly as possible, find the brigade headquarters of the teaching brigade, ask Brigade Commander Chen Haihan about the situation, and go quickly."

Several jeeps rushed out of the large army after Li Yong's order was given, and a few additional movements left the large group of people, and the butt of the car turned upside down and ran away.

Lao Ba knew that he was slow, and he was embarrassed to say anything to his friends, thank you.
