Chapter 350 North China Soldiers

Due to the limitations of local conditions (population and food), the Northwest Field Army has always been small in size, and it has always been in a disadvantageous position compared with the Kuomintang troops, and the gap is huge.

In order to increase the strength of the Northwest Field Army and to improve the composition of the troops, the central authorities took advantage of the recuperation period after the Great War of the Field Army to recruit a large number of newly recruited peasants in North China and replenish them after a long journey.

The new soldiers made the leaders of the troops very happy, especially the brigade commanders who directly led the troops to fight, laughing all day long, humming songs as they walked.

They are all turned peasants in North China, they are all young and sturdy young men, and some of them are still party members and militiamen with combat experience, what else can be said about such soldiers, as long as they get out of the company to exercise and exercise, they are the backbone, in order to have more such soldiers, the heads of various combat units have thought of many ways, and even some have to find the old chiefs to have a relationship, they all want to ask for as many as possible, even if there is one more, it is good.

Later, these things were known to Mr. Peng, and Mr. Peng was a little angry and told the commanders at all levels that it was useless to fight, how to use and distribute these soldiers, and there was a unified arrangement for the field army headquarters, and whoever needed it the most would give it to whomever it wanted, and there was no need for more.

In order to vigorously support the northwest region, these recruits who have been supplemented by the great northwest are all selected from the crowd, in the words of the local people, it is the same as picking a son-in-law, not only good thinking but also good health, all of them are good, and they are really the children of the old liberated areas.

After the new North China soldiers arrived in the Northwest Field Army, they brought a breath of fresh air to the troops, and what everyone talked about the most was how they fought the local tyrants and divided the land and how they carried out land reform when they were at home.

Whoever divided how much land, who got a big house with blue bricks and green tiles with mén thresholds, and who divided the big livestock for farming, (oxen, horses, mules, donkeys, called big animals in the north), the conversation box was opened, and such topics made the liberated soldiers very excited.

Most of the soldiers are peasants, including those liberation fighters who were captured by the Kuomintang troops, they have a natural love for the land, know the importance of a few acres of good land to an ordinary family, and with three or five acres of good land, they can keep the family from starving, and then raise some jī ducks, geese and sheep and other domestic animals, and the days will be very promising, such a thing can never be dreamed of, but I didn't expect that the dream in the mouth of the North China soldiers has become a reality, and everyone said that after defeating the Kuomintang, they will also go home to carry out land reform, It is also necessary to let the people in their hometowns have land to plant, houses to live in, and food to eat.

In this way, the consciousness of the soldiers has been greatly improved, and the PLA troops have made the soldiers understand that being a soldier is not just for the sake of eating, but also has a clear ideal and purpose.

With the land, houses, and cattle on which they depended, the peasants had something to rely on, and the peasants' hearts were the most real, and whoever was good to them was of course also good to them, and the local people enthusiastically joined the army, and the personnel of the army expanded rapidly like a snowball.

Taking advantage of the fresh air of the North China soldiers, the Northwest Field Army lost no time in carrying out all kinds of propaganda and mobilization work, organized various literary and artistic propaganda teams to go deep among the troops and soldiers, and performed the dramas "Liu Hulan" and "Liu Sihu" (a well-known combat hero in the Northwest Field Army) and so on.

The purpose of mobilizing the entire army of the Northwest Field Army is to unify the thinking of the whole army, enhance the consciousness of the cadres and fighters, especially the fighters of the New Liberation Army, boost morale, and twist the people of various elements in the army together into a joint force, and use this joint force to confront the Kuomintang, which still has a dominant position.

Although the Kuomintang has more personnel than the Northwest Field Army and has better weapons and equipment, it has no enterprising spirit, and in the face of the People's Liberation Army, which is inferior in all aspects, it only wants to maintain the status quo, and it would be good if it can maintain the current situation.

In order to maintain the situation of confrontation with the PLA, Hu Zongnan concentrated 11 divisions east of the Luo River and north of the Wei River, formed a defense system centered on Pucheng and Dali, and concentrated most of his troops on the Jiāo line, forming a defensive zone of more than 100 kilometers in front and more than 30 kilometers in depth.

When Yan'an was just occupied in March last year, Hu Zongnan's mind was full of thoughts about how to fight a decisive battle with the main force of the communist army in the northwest, how to catch the communist army Peng Dehuai's unit that was as slippery as a sticky fish, and how to quickly solve the problem in the northwest. Knowing where the communist army is, he also came up with a key mobile defense, and to fight a war is to grasp the initiative on the battlefield, and such tactics are too far from grasping the initiative.

The regular Kuomintang army of more than 200,000 people faced the Northwest Field Army of more than 100,000 people, but what key mobile defense should be carried out, and I do not know what Hu Zongnan, the Kuomintang king of the northwest, thought.

Since the beginning of September, the Central Military Commission (CMC), which is far away in Xibaipo, has sent a telegram to the Northwest Field Army, which roughly means that the development momentum of the PLA in various major theaters is very good, and that a major war will break out throughout the country in September, and it is hoped that the Northwest Field Army will cooperate.

This is the obvious difference between Chairman Máo's command art and that of the Kuomintang, which does not specifically say what the field army should do, but only tells you the intentions of the central authorities, how to play them, and how to do them is up to the field army itself, as long as it can achieve its goal.

The two armies of the Kuomintang and the Communist Party fought in the northwest battlefield for a year and a half, from the attack on Yan'an in March 47 to September of 48, the southern part of Huzong was reduced from the initial key offensive to the current so-called key mobile defense, and the heavy military group of more than 300,000 people was led by the nose by the Northwest Field Army of more than 20,000 people who lacked food and clothing, and had no guns and bullets. Most of the soldiers of the People's Liberation Army were captured from the Kuomintang troops, they were bears in the Kuomintang troops, and they were heroes in the PLA troops. Or is our Mr. Peng too powerful?

The telegram from the central authorities made it very clear that a major war would break out nationwide in September, and this was tantamount to telling the leaders of the Northwest Field Army that the PLA would switch from strategic defense to strategic offensive throughout the country, and that the situation in which the Kuomintang and the Communist Party were in a state of stalemate would soon change a big way.

From the telegram sent by the central authorities, it can be seen that in the northeast, in North China, in East China, in Shanxi, and in the vast Central Plains, the PLA will change from its long-standing forbearance and retreat to taking the initiative to attack the Kuomintang. It's a big strategic thing that excites people.

Although the central authorities know that the Northwest Field Army is different from other field armies, and the contrast of strength with the enemy is too great, and it has not given any hard tasks, the fact that the central authorities have not given us tasks does not mean that we have no tasks, so how can we cooperate with fraternal units in other theaters to fight? Swing your troops away like Hu Zongnan did, and confront the other party's wide-eyed eyes? Although this saves worry and effort, it is not a good way, nor is it the style of the best people.

On this day, in a Xiǎo courtyard surrounded by mountains, there was a lot of people, and from time to time there were hearty laughter and the sound of loud greetings coming from the Xiǎo courtyard.

Outside the courtyard, a number of xiǎo jeeps and sturdy horses were parked, and the warriors were chatting in groups of threes and fives, few of whom had long weapons such as rifles, and most of them carried the famous barge guns on their bodies.

In the great northwest region, the shell gun is a very enviable weapon, not only the gun is good, even the bullets are very precious, if it is huā money to buy two pieces of the ocean, this is the price when the landlord Lao Cai was a bodyguard in the past, of course, the troops of the People's Liberation Army will not buy any bullets, weapons and bullets are naturally captured from the Kuomintang troops, or called robbery.

The chattering warriors give people a sense of jīng Ming and competence, and it can be seen from the weapons and words of these warriors that these are the guards of some high-ranking commanders, a group of xiǎo guys picked out from the troops.

After several wars, the army has developed greatly, the number of vehicles such as automobiles and jeeps has gradually increased, the eyes of the soldiers who used to feel very fresh when they saw a car have also broadened, and a considerable number of people have also learned to repair and drive, and now the car is no longer an unattainable rarity.

However, the focus of these guard soldiers was still on a few brand-new jeeps, and one soldier said in a tone of envy and envy: "Company Commander Li, it's still your independent brigade cow, look at this car, not even a little patent leather has been dropped, and this car has wheels, all of them are new goods in Gaga, not to mention our brigade commander, even our commander's car may not be as good as your car." ”

Another one said: "But isn't it, we are all the brigade commander and political commissar in one car, you are good, not only the brigade commander and political commissar have one car, but even the guards have driven two cars, and your brigade commander is so willing to let you make nonsense?" ”

Company commander Li Yiming sat in the passenger seat of an open jeep, wearing a pair of máo leather combat boots on the bridge, took out a box of cigarettes from his pocket, and handed one to each of the soldiers of the fraternal troops gathered around the car.
