Chapter 276: The Battle of Xifu is in full pursuit
The 82nd Division of the Majia Army in Qinghai was closely pursued by the Independent Regiment and the Cavalry Division, and the division commander Ma Jiyuan was unwilling to retreat in defeat, and ordered the troops to turn around and make a counter-charge to the PLA troops that had caught up, wanting to turn back and bite hard.

He guessed that although the troops in the PLA's defensive position were very powerful, they might not have as many personnel, and the communist army was fighting on two sides, and the main force was fighting fiercely with Pei Changhui's large corps in the Qishan area, and the troops that could be drawn out to support were limited, and they might not be the opponent of Ma's army in the plain area where the cavalry might be most exerted.
Although the 82nd Division fought several battles in a row and suffered heavy casualties, there were still 15,600 people who could participate in the battle, and the basic backbone and core of the unit were still there, and they still had the strength to fight again.
Ma Jiyuan's uncle, deputy division commander Ma Quanyi, saw that the situation was not good, and discussed with him that in order to preserve the vital forces, the troops should be withdrawn immediately.
Ma Jiyuan, who was burned red by the blood, also came to his senses at this time, the young division commander was a little frightened by the firepower of the independent regiment, this kid secretly wondered in his heart, where did the communist army jump out of such a powerful force, this is too fierce, withdraw.
The 82nd Division, which had made the decision, lost a large number of soldiers and retreated again, but this time it was a real defeat, and the officers and soldiers no longer had the determination to fight back, and they ran forward.
The remaining personnel of the entire 82nd Division have long since had nothing to talk about in terms of team conduct and establishment, and officers cannot find soldiers, and soldiers cannot find officers, as long as they can run out.
Seeing that the enemy was retreating like a tide again, Li Yong was overjoyed, and all his hard work and efforts in the past few months were not in vain, and he finally saw the effect.
In the historical Xifu Campaign, the Kuomintang side called the Jingwei River Valley a great victory, and it was because of this 82nd Division that the field army suffered heavy losses.
The Northwest Field Army, which was all infantry, was entangled by the cavalry of the 82nd Division several times during the transfer, and even the logistical supply lines were cut off, paying a huge price in order to break through the encirclement of the Kuomintang heavy army group.
The Battle of Xifu lasted 27 days and lost more than 15,000 people, which was difficult to bear for the Northwest Field Army, which was not very strong. Second, there is a slight idea of underestimating the enemy in the estimation of the enemy's army, and there is a lack of understanding of the ability of Hu Zongnan and Ma Bufang to cooperate effectively, and the contradictions between the enemies are too big and the commonalities between them are small. Third, there is a lack of tactical reconnaissance and the enemy's situation is unknown. Fourth, there is a lack of understanding of the internal difficulties of individual troops, referring to the four columns.
The results showed that victory was still in the hands of those who were prepared, and that the independent regiment, with the joint efforts of the Teaching Brigade and the Yeji Cavalry Division, won more with less, and finally rewrote history at a certain level, or a small part of history, changed a little bit at Li Yong's insistence.
This 82nd Division has been defeated and will no longer pose a threat to the field army for a long time, and without the entanglement of cavalry, it is impossible for Pei Changhui's infantry alone to surround the People's Liberation Army, which is famous for running away.
Since Pei Changhui's corps can't encircle the Northwest Field Army, how the battle will develop next, and how the leaders of Mr. Peng and the leaders of the field division make the next decision is not something that Li Yong can think of or grasp, but Li Yong is not worried about anything, with the wisdom of Mr. Peng's god of war, when the battlefield situation has improved compared with before, he will definitely be able to think of a good way.
Li Yong, who was in an excited mood, shouted with a walkie-talkie: "Comrades, there are only more than 3,000 people in our independent regiment, and the enemy is with me, but what is the result? Didn't the 82nd Division, which is known as the most capable of fighting in the Ma Jia's Army, also lose its armor and lose its armor by us, I order, the vehicles of the whole regiment and size to rush up and entangle this 82nd Division, and kill one more one. ”
Li Yong's order made the soldiers feel uplifted, it is good to follow the regiment commander to fight, you don't need to think about anything, just work hard, the battle will definitely be won, and if you do a good job, you will definitely be able to make meritorious contributions.
The hard-fought battle between the Independent Regiment and the 82nd Division made the Yesi Cavalry Division behind look dumbfounded, and the people of the Cavalry Division were still a little worried at first, the Independent Regiment is good, with good weapons and equipment, and strong combat effectiveness, but the number of Ma Jiajun is five to six times that of yours, can the crazy charge of the cavalry withstand it?
Unexpectedly, as soon as the two troops came into contact, it became a one-sided battle, and the independent regiment took control of the battlefield situation at once with a fierce fighting posture.
Only then did the people of the cavalry division understand that good guys, it turned out that the independent regiment had not exerted all its strength when it was fighting a positional defensive battle, and this was the real strength of the people.
Let's fight today's battle is cheap, there are difficulties in the independent regiment, and when the independent regiment solves the problem, we will go up and fight the water dogs, which is very comfortable, but I always feel a little embarrassed in my heart.
But after thinking about it, we still have to do the work that we should do, and at this time the signal corps of the independent regiment came again to inform that the enemy had been dispersed and that the comrades of the cavalry division could go up and chase after them.
No matter how embarrassed the commanders and fighters of the cavalry division were, the two troops chased after each other in one go, and this time the 82nd Division could no longer organize any effective counterattacks, so they almost wanted to turn the four-legged war horse into an eight-legged one, and they could run as fast as they could.
The soldiers kept shooting with various weapons in the back, and shot when they saw the shadows of people and horses, and the 82nd Division of the Ma Family Army was all cavalry, and the troops of the independent regiment and cavalry division chasing behind did not go underground, either by car or on horseback, so the accuracy of this shot was really not very good, and there was no difference between aiming and not aiming.
Many of the soldiers in the independent regiment used submachine guns, and some of the soldiers in the 82nd Division in front of them were running in a hurry, knowing that the guys in their hands were out of reach, and they were in a hurry to open fire, and they were in a chaotic assault on the backs of people and horses, which made the commanders of the various battalions and platoons very annoyed, and pointed their noses and scolded before they brought the situation under control.
It's no wonder that these commanders are angry, the cadres above the platoon level of the independent regiment are basically old soldiers, and the soldiers from the old Eighth Road are used to living a poor life, and they treat a bullet and a grenade as a treasure, and they can't get used to seeing these boys so nonsense.
The fighters replied with a grin, "Okay, do it with rifles and machine guns, and don't fire at the submachine guns, so you don't have to be scolded."
The head of the regiment, Li Yong, doesn't care about these things, this guy is in a better mood now, sitting in the command car humming a small tune, and he almost went to Hu Xiaolian to practice his courage, but now he really can't do it.
Grand Master Li took it for granted that the soldiers fired a few shots indiscriminately, and stray bullets could kill people, just rush to the front, anyway, there are materials and ammunition in Baoji City, can't you just go back and replenish it, the materials in Baoji City are enough for the Northwest Field Army for more than two years, I don't know what Hu Zongnan's mood was when he lost Baoji.
Li Yong is very fierce to the enemy, but he is very tolerant of his own soldiers, occasionally a soldier makes a small mistake can not be investigated, criticism and education can be done, people are not perfect, there are times when mistakes are made, during the war years, fighting is a war, fighting is life, these soldiers may be glorious that day, there is nothing wrong with having the opportunity to make the soldiers happy.
Li Yong, who came over in later generations, did not have a good impression of Ma Jiajun, this Ma Jiajun fought so fiercely that it was not the reason why Li Yong hated them, the troops, it is normal to be able to fight, but Ma Jiajun hacked to death all the wounded who were caught by the other party after the war and did not have time to take them away, so it cannot be described as good or bad in terms of combat effectiveness, and the behavior of the killing and wounding is intolerable.
In the Battle of Xifu, the Sixth Column Teaching Brigade was surrounded by the 82nd Division, and some of the seriously wounded had no way to take them away, so they stayed in Baoji City when they retreated, and only one of the wounded who remained survived, and the rest were all hacked to death by the Ma family army with a saber.
The stragglers of the 82nd Division ran lifelessly in front, and the independent regiment and cavalry division behind desperately chased after them.
The war horses opened their nostrils and panted, the hair on the horses was soaked with sweat, and the guns in the hands of the soldiers kept shooting, although they were not accurate, but there were not many people and many guns, and the bullets swept over densely, and the cavalry of the 82nd Division, which was running in front, kept "plopping, plopping" and falling off their horses.
As soon as the troops were really defeated, they had no combat effectiveness at all, there was no way to organize an effective counterattack, and there were no covering troops, leaving their backs to catch up with the independent regiment, what good results could there be.
The fleeing soldiers of the Ma Jiajun felt that the bullets that passed through the ears and the back of the head were stringed one after another, and the people lying on the back of the horses together fell one after another.
The independent regiment of this battle knocked the soldiers of the Ma Jiajun out of the psychological shadow, and the survivors recovered from fear for many days, so that when the independent regiment of the second column was mentioned in the battle in the future, these veterans who had participated in this battle felt frightened from their hearts, and a cool breeze was blowing in their backbones.
More and more soldiers and horses died, and later it had affected the speed of the independent regiment's cars, and the horse corpses and human corpses on the ground were piled up one after another, one after another, and sometimes the cars could not be passed without removing the corpses, and no one could tell how many soldiers of the 82nd Division had been eliminated.
I saw the comments of the book friend "Boring Crow", one is a little moved, the second is a little embarrassed, and the third is a little nervous, I'm afraid that I won't write well and I'm sorry brothers.
