By the end of '48, the total strength of the Northwest Field Army was already able to compete with the Kuomintang Hu Zongnan's court, and this was only a simple quantitative comparison, and the Kuomintang troops were not at all opponents of the People's Liberation Army in terms of quality.

At this time, Hu Zongnan didn't want to eat the Northwest Field Army, and if he could maintain the situation of confrontation with the People's Liberation Army, it was already a blessing from the old gods and Buddhas.

The Kuomintang Hu Zongnan had no intention of responding to the battle, while the Northwest Field Army was seizing the time to train troops, so as to use this period of time to digest the results of the last major battle, the education of prisoners, the cultivation of the wounded, the maintenance and replacement of weapons and equipment, and all kinds of problems were waiting for the first people to solve.

During this period, the northwest battlefield once again fell into a relatively calm situation, there were no major battles, and only a small number of small-scale frictions occurred between the Kuomintang and Communist armies in some localities, most of which were contests between search and reconnaissance units at the company and platoon level, but it was only relatively calm, and there was an undercurrent surging under the calm, and a big battle was about to begin.

In the Central Plains, in East China, in North China, in the entire Northeast, and in all battlefields throughout the country, the People's Liberation Army (PLA) launched magnificent offensive operations in all battlefields throughout the country.

By the autumn of '48, the Northeast Field Army had grown to 12 main infantry columns, an artillery column, and a railway column, and there were 14 column-level combat units, as well as dozens of independent brigades and hundreds of independent regiments, plus tank and chariot units, aviation units, and a large number of reserve regiments, and its main force had exceeded one million people.

(The size of the Northeast Field Army column is much larger than that of the Northwest Field Army, and the number of people in each column is about 60,000)

After the Soviet Red Army entered the Northeast and the little devils surrendered, the entire Northeast fell into a confused anarchic power vacuum.

At that time, there were Soviets, Japanese, Kuomintang, ** people, as well as a large number of bandits (the Northeast was called Beard, after the Japanese surrendered, in the more than 100 counties in the Northeast at that time, the beard accounted for more than 60) and the armed forces composed of Japanese puppet remnants (police, military police, Manchurian national soldiers, and local ruffians and hooligans, etc.), the Northeast where the forces of the eight parties gathered became a chaotic place for all parties to compete.

In accordance with the old tradition of the people, relying on the countryside, and taking the old Eighth Road and the Northeast Democratic Alliance Army as the backbone, a powerful Northeast Field Army was formed.

The powerful Northeast Field Army received a large amount of weapons and ammunition left over from the Japanese puppets, and obtained some equipment from the Soviet army, relying on its strong industrial production capacity, and by the 48 years, the Northeast Field Army had grown into a formidable armed force.

Due to the strong development of the Northeast Field Army, the situation in the Northeast has changed from a situation in which the enemy is strong and we are weak to a strong enemy and a weak enemy, and occupies an overwhelming advantage; in the Northeast, except for a few limited large cities that are still occupied by the Kuomintang troops, the vast rural areas have been completely controlled by the people, which is unique in the national battlefield, and according to the words of the Northeast, the time is ripe for a big battle.

On November 3, 1948, when the wind and the sun were beautiful, the Independent Brigade of the Second Column of the Northwest Field Army was holding a meeting, and it was a meeting of cadres at and above the company level.

It's no wonder that everyone is proud, from the poor eight roads with no food and drink, and only a dozen bullets per person, to the now well-equipped and well-armed heroic brigade, everyone will feel a little satisfied.

Li Yong and political commissar Wang Chengde looked at each other, the two of them have been studying this matter together for several days, they have won the battle, the army has made great development, it is normal for everyone to be happy, but it is not good to be complacent, as the so-called arrogant soldiers will be defeated, what method can be used to dispel the satisfied mentality of the cadres and soldiers, and re-stimulate the fighting spirit, which is the problem that Li Yong and Wang Chengde have to consider in the recent period, and it just so happens that there is an opportunity at this time.

Wang Chengde patted the table: "Be quiet, wait a while and then talk about the mountains, I just received a message from the column, I will read it to you." ”

Wang Chengde took out a note from his pocket and read: "Until yesterday, that is, November 2, the autumn offensive campaign launched by our Northeast Field Army ended victoriously (Liaoshen Campaign), with a total of more than 470,000 enemies annihilated and a large number of weapons and equipment captured, which means that the main forces of the Kuomintang in Northeast China were basically wiped out in this campaign, and the entire territory of Northeast China was liberated. ”

The cadres who were still laughing and joking with each other stopped talking, and the venue was quiet for more than ten seconds, and then it was as chaotic as a boiling pot.

The news announced by the political commissar is too shocking, these veterans know that other field armies are doing a good job, but they didn't expect the Northeast Field Army to be so powerful that it can be so powerful, how big is a force of 1 million or hundreds of thousands of people? It's a bit unimaginable.

Li Jiangguo, the commander of the first battalion, stood up suddenly, and the news announced by the political commissar made the old soldier's face a little red with excitement: "Brigade commander, political commissar, is this true, the entire Northeast is liberated?" Isn't the Kuomintang going to be enough? ”

Wang Laohu, the commander of the fifth battalion, did not stand up and ask like Li Jiangguo, and the steady soldier said to himself: "Good guy, I still think that our Northwest Field Army is capable enough, and it has expanded from more than 20,000 to more than 100,000 in less than two years, which is incomparable with others." ”

Ma Changsheng, the commander of the third battalion, shouted directly: "Brigade commander, we can't wait, the northeast is liberated, and our field army must also liberate the northwest, or we still have the face to call the Northwest Field Army." ”

He Cuihua's crisp voice, which couldn't be pulled down by big or small things, was obvious in a large group of men: "Brigade commander, political commissar, we have been resting for more than ten days, and our body has completely recovered, why haven't we had a battle order yet, or let's write a war petition together." ”

Gao Xiang didn't raise the bar with He Cuihua this time, and muttered: "He Cuihua's construction is good, hurry up and write a letter of request, if you don't hurry up and eliminate Hu Zongnan, it will be too late." ”

The room was steaming, and the news from the Northeast Field Army was too encouraging, but it was also a bit anxious, just like Gao Xiang said, everyone agreed that the troops should hurry up and fight, otherwise we would have nothing to do if the other field armies were all gone.

The love of everyone is contagious, and even Li Jia, who is very quiet, has a feeling that her blood is boiling and she wants to fight immediately.

Li Jia is the communications platoon commander of the independent brigade, for her the independent brigade has no secrets, all meetings can be attended as observers, this former captain officer of the 36th division of the Kuomintang is also quite emotional, more than a year ago, the Northwest Field Army wanted to eliminate the Kuomintang A brigade had to gather all its strength, and after more than a year, it could eat tens of thousands of Kuomintang people at one time, and I thought it was already very remarkable, but I didn't expect that in the far northeast, the first person did even more powerful, from all indications, the life of the Kuomintang could not be long, well, It seems that it is right to be caught back by this savage guy, but the act of holding a gun to his chin at that time was too hateful, hum, you must find a chance to retaliate in the future, what opportunity to find? This guy is sometimes very bad, and when he thought of this, Li Jia's face turned red for no reason.

What Li Yong and Wang Chengde want is this kind of atmosphere, the troops who are eager to fight are the troops with combat effectiveness, and what kind of troops can they call if they don't want to fight?

Political commissar Wang Chengde continued to beat the side drum: "Our brigade has fought well in these battles, but there is no need to tell the fellow villagers in the station what kind of hero brigade he is, right?" More than 9,000 people is remarkable? I tell you, every division under the column of the Northeast Field Army is 10,000, and one column is four divisions, we are far worse than others, you know the old 359 regiment of the 717 brigade before our second column, right? ”

When Wang Chengde said this, these veterans all nodded, the 717 regiment is an old unit of the second column, and later drove to the northeast under the instructions of the superiors, and the veterans are of course very familiar with these things.

Wang Chengde: "Now the 10th Column of the Northeast Field Army is formed by our old 717 Regiment as the backbone, and the development of people is much faster than ours. ”

In the room full of discussions, Li Yong spoke: "Comrades, it is a good thing to want to fight, but we can't be in a hurry, our situation is different from that of the Northeast Field Army, although our Northwest Field Army has also made great progress, but in the entire great northwest, our strength is still far less powerful than the Kuomintang, everyone can't just focus on Hu Zongnan, in the northwest there are also Qinghai, Gansu, Ningxia Ma Bufang, Ma Hongkui and Ma Hongbin, the Kuomintang Northwest Three Horses and the Central Army have contradictions, but the contradictions are only relative, Their contradictions have not yet reached the point of irreconcilability, the dog will jump over the wall when he is anxious, and they will unite to deal with us when he is anxious, and the combined strength of the enemy is still more than 400,000, and it is brutal to fight hard in the face of such a force, and as for how to deal with the enemy's superiors, there will definitely be considerations, so what we have to do now is to seize the time to train the troops, let go of the satisfied mentality, and improve the combat effectiveness of the troops little by little, as long as we are ready, we will definitely fight the battle. ”

The independent brigade, which knew the news of the fraternal troops, could no longer sit still, and the whole brigade threw itself into the large-scale military training; in the past, it was really sitting in a well and watching the sky, and if there was a gap, it had to work hard to catch up, and this was the style that the PLA's ace troops should have.

After reading the comments of my friend "Yongkang Town", I felt that there was only one word "Khan".
