Chapter 702: Qamdo
Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
The task was done, but the matter was not over, and the heads of the corps headquarters were worried about how to march with the heavy equipment of the Duli brigade, you know, the road conditions at that time were extremely bad.
Although the Tibetan army has some weapons supported by India, Li Yong does not think that their combat effectiveness can be compared to the Duli Brigade, as long as they can be contacted, Li Yong is confident that he will kill all this so-called army, but the premise is that the heavy weapons and equipment of the Duli Brigade can quickly pass through the steep terrain along the way.
At this time, the situation was already very clear, and everyone understood the meaning of several leaders of the Corps, including Commander Wang, several commanders at the corps level had actually planned to hand over the task to the Duli Brigade a long time ago, and it was just a formality for everyone to argue, and if you think about it carefully, it is indeed more appropriate to send the Duli Brigade to carry out such a task.
A commander who came to the meeting suddenly stood up: "Chiefs, comrades of the Duli Brigade, you see if this will work, I still don't believe that if we give our engineering troops support to the Duli Brigade, what rivers can block our troops entering Tibet." ”
The face was red and the neck was thick when they were arguing together just now, but as soon as they saw that the Duli Brigade was in difficulty, they immediately gave full support, without any selfish distractions, this is the PLA troops.
As soon as this commander mentioned yì, all the people who came to the meeting agreed, and also told Li Yong and Wang Chengde that the engineer and equipment brigade of their troops could be chosen at will, and they could give whatever they wanted, and they would give as much as they wanted, and they would never discount it.
The Duli Brigade is a composite force, which gives outsiders a good feeling, but it is limited by the environment and conditions at that time. There are also shortcomings in the organization of the troops: First, the air defense force is insufficient, and the entire brigade has only a few dozen antiaircraft machine guns for 10,000 or several thousand people, and the other is that the engineering force is insufficient, and the ability to pass through the big rivers is not good.
However, in the absence of air power of the opponent, the lack of air defense forces has not yet manifested itself, and the biggest difficulty at present is the problem of engineers.
Li Yong and Wang Chengde were very touched by the mentions of the commanders who came to the meeting at the scene, which is called sending charcoal in the snow, and the friendship of comrades-in-arms is more precious than anything else. You know, their own troops are not rich, and all the equipment is captured little by little, so to speak, and the soldiers are also exchanged for blood and lives.
The fraternal units also did not have much engineering equipment. It is said that Li Yong didn't want it, but he thought about it again. This is not the time for humility. As soon as the troops set out, they had to rely on themselves for all problems and difficulties, and once they encountered difficulties on the way, they would be in trouble, so they should start and ask for more.
In the end, it was Commander Wang who expressed his position, in order to allow Duli Lushun to complete the task. You can choose the engineering equipment and personnel of our entire First Corps, and you can take whatever you like.
Good guys, it's a whole corps, and the engineering equipment of the three armies can be picked by the Duli brigade, and the brother troops really want to hemorrhage.
Li Yong stood up and saluted everyone: "Thank you comrades for your support to our brigade. There is nothing else but to kill more enemies to repay the leaders and comrades. ”
"Don't say too much about hypocrisy, you are not going to travel in the mountains and rivers, I will give you two days to travel, hurry up and prepare, and set off on time in two days."
Commander Wang only gave two days to prepare, two days is not too much, and the Duli Brigade, with a total strength of more than 14,000 troops, had to make all the preparations in these two days.
With excitement and apprehension, the commander of the engineer company, Xiao Cheng, went to various fraternal units to allocate engineer equipment, and Li Yong's order was to focus on how to enable the troops to quickly pass through the guò river pontoon equipment, and don't be embarrassed to meet this kind of equipment, and do it when you should do it.
Since the brigade commander had an order, and the brother troops also made it clear that they were going to bleed heavily, Xiao Cheng, this kid, really did it, and in two days, he not only got back a large amount of equipment, but also brought back more than 200 good sappers, all of whom were selected by him one by one.
The brother troops were grinning in distress, but the big words had already been said, so they had to grit their teeth and stiffen up, so that by the time they set off, Xiaocheng's engineer company had expanded to more than 700 people, and his professional ability had increased exponentially.
A large engineer company of more than 700 people, not to mention in the First Corps, has never appeared in the entire history of the Northwest Field Army, which is unprecedented, and according to the cadres and soldiers of the fraternal troops, it is really fucking powerful enough.
Time flies quickly in the chaos, two days of work is here in a blink of an eye, and it is also the day when the Duli brigade is going to set off, this time it is really far away, far away from thousands of rivers and mountains, and when can it come back is far away.
The transfer of troops is not a trivial matter, it may be that it will never go back, just like the 18th Corps of Yiye, originally the 18th Corps was a North China army, and it was assigned to a field when it arrived in the northwest, but it did not stay long in the battle sequence of a field, and later because of the pursuit of the remnants of Hu Zongnan, it was assigned to the second field, and the same is true for Li Yong and the Duli brigade, who can know what decision the superiors made after they completed the mission.
Commander Wang brought a cadre of the Corps, as well as Li Yong and Wang Chengde's old acquaintances and old comrades-in-arms to see him off, especially the people of the Second Army, a large group of people came to see them off, not only cadres, but also many soldiers, and most of the people from the Second Regiment arrived.
I can't stop talking about it, the Duli Brigade goes out to carry out a mission, just like a mother's family to marry a daughter, it is really a little reluctant, and finally the commander spoke:
"Okay, there is no banquet in the world that will not be dispersed, it's time for them to go."
The commander turned his head and told Li Yong and Wang Chengde: "You must obey the orders of the leaders of the Second Field and the Southwest Military Region, and you must not play with others just because you are a unit of the First Army, and your direct leaders are Zhang Guohua, the commander of the 18th Army, and Tan Guansan, the political commissar of the 18th Army. ”
From a special service company of more than 20 people to a duli brigade of more than 14,000 people, all the way through the bloody rain and bloody wind, after countless tribulations, and finally from a small sapling to a towering tree, among them, without the support of the chief, it is impossible to do it, and a few people play a very critical role.
The first is the commander of the second regiment, that is, the current commander of the fourth division of the second army, without the commander of the second regiment, there would be no current duli brigade, this is not an exaggeration.
Then there is Brigade Commander Chen of the Fourth Brigade, and now Political Commissar Chen of the Fifth Army, Brigade Commander Chen has given great help to the Duli Brigade on many issues, especially in the initial stage of the unit.
The third is Commander Wang, the commander is like a big tree, all the time is giving the duli brigade this small sapling to shelter from the wind and rain, sometimes Li Yong really can't imagine, if there is no Commander Wang's maintenance, how far can the duli brigade go? Maybe it would have been dismantled and replenished into various units a long time ago, and if that were the case, the current Duli Brigade would not be visible.
The last thing to say is Mr. Peng, although the boss has not said anything, but he has also been supporting and paying attention to this small army, with Mr. Peng's character, if he has a bad view of the Duli Brigade, he may have withdrawn the number of the unit long ago.
Chief of Staff Chen Haihan, who specially rushed over to see him off, slapped Li Yong's fist fiercely: "You kid has a lot of tricks, when you want to come back, say it in advance, and I'll give you wine." ”
Li Yongxin said that it would be difficult to come back when he would be able to come back, but everything was undecided.
Turning over and jumping into the jeep, Li Yong and Wang Chengde saluted the chief and comrades-in-arms who saw them off, the soldiers who drove slowly stepped on the accelerator, the exhaust pipe of the American jeep spewed out a puff of green smoke, and the troops slowly started.
Trucks, tanks, and artillery were discharged for more than a dozen kilometers, rolling forward under the gaze of the other people.
The figure of the chief and his comrades-in-arms gradually disappeared, and Li Yong also took back his thoughts, he wanted to prepare for the upcoming battle, the battle of Qamdo began immediately, and the Duli Brigade from the northwest was the most important link in it.
Qamdo
Changdu is the east gate of Xizàng, known as the gateway to Xizàng from Sichuan and Yunnan, located at the confluence of the Hengduan Mountains and the Jinsha River, the Lancang River and the Nu River, Changdu is Tibetan, which means, the water crosses and the mouth, the average altitude is more than 3,500 meters, the highest point can reach more than 5,600 meters, the air is thin, and many places are above the snow line.
As the commander of a brigade, Li Yong has too many questions to think about, don't look at the current Duli brigade soldiers are strong and strong, but fighting on the plateau is the first time that a big girl has been on a sedan chair, in the plateau environment, whether the soldiers' bodies and weapons and equipment can adapt to it all need to be considered by him, the brigade commander.
Before leaving, he also asked the logistics department of the corps to support some sunglasses, and Li Yong told the logistics minister that in the snowy plateau, sunglasses are an indispensable equipment for the troops.
According to the news from the Enemy Engineering Department of the Southwest Military Region, the high-ranking rulers of Xizàng were extremely disgusted by the PLA's entry into Tibet, and as early as a few months ago, they organized a representative to go to the United States, Britain, India, and Nepal to ask for help, hoping to establish the state before the PLA marched into Xizàng, and to make the Snow Mountain Lion Flag, the flag of the Tibetan army, the national flag.
With the help of foreign powers, the rulers of Xizàng expanded the original 14 generations of the Tibetan army to 17 generations, "dai" is the Tibetan word for bow and arrow, "ben" is the commander, together it means, the commander with a bow and arrow, the Manchu word means Xiao cavalry school, and the Chinese means camp group.
