After the two infantry brigades of the 2nd Column of the Northwest Field Army (the 5th Brigade and the Li Yong Independent Brigade) were conquered at the main position of Huti Mountain, in accordance with the order of Commander Wang of the column, they carried out a combined attack on the 123rd Brigade of the 36th Division of the Kuomintang, and the attack of the PLA began again under the cover of heavy fire.

The fierce artillery fire, the dense rain of machine-gun bullets, and the earth-shattering roars of the PLA soldiers made the entire position of the 123rd Brigade tremble, and in the face of tremendous pressure, the defense line of the 123rd Brigade and the confidence of the officers and men collapsed at once, and the soldiers no longer had the intention or action to defend.

The discouragement of the army made the 123rd Brigade immediately luàn, and the troops without morale and fighting spirit were no longer called any troops, and many defensive positions were immediately collapsed in the face of the attack of the second column, and the troops fled everywhere.

Li Yong told the soldiers to slow down the attack, don't be in a hurry, there is no need for the soldiers to have a large number of casualties at this time, it is only a matter of time to clean up these soldiers, and now it is most appropriate to carry out a political offensive against the Kuomintang soldiers.

Soon, several loudspeakers made of iron sheets were sent to the front line, and the political workers and propaganda personnel of the People's Liberation Army were busy, and after a few minutes, shouting filled the entire position: "Brothers of the 123rd Brigade, you have been surrounded by the PLA, the division commander Zhong Song and the 28th Brigade on the mountain are also finished, the 165th is being surrounded and annihilated like you, you don't expect any reinforcements, it is not a day or two to fight with our PLA, when will your reinforcements arrive in time, jiāo guns will not kill, The People's Liberation Army treats prisoners preferentially, and when the time comes, if you want to be a soldier, you can do it with us, let's be a soldier together, and if you don't want to be a soldier, our People's Liberation Army will pay your way home, you just need to put down your gun. ”

From the beginning of the Red Army period to the period of the Liberation War, the PLA's policy of preferential treatment of prisoners has not changed, and the Kuomintang soldiers are also very aware of such a policy, so the resistance of the soldiers of the 123rd Brigade has become more and more xiǎo.

The loudspeaker of the People's Liberation Army (PLA) sounded again at this time: "Brothers of the 123rd Brigade, there are many soldiers of your old 36th Division in the PLA, they will not shoot at you, you put down your weapons, don't walk around, just sit in the trenches, and our PLA will ensure your personal safety." ”

Prestige and honesty have been exchanged for actions bit by bit over the years, and the People's Liberation Army (PLA) has a policy of not killing prisoners that every Kuomintang soldier understands, and no one doubts this, and the soldiers of the 123rd Brigade, who had no will to resist, quickly laid down their arms, and the troops quickly rushed forward.

Seeing this, Wang Chengde, the political commissar in the headquarters of the Independent Brigade, slapped Li Yong: "Dayong, are you seeing this guy very accurately, this loudspeaker is more effective than bullets and grenades, and he has the ability to do a bit of political commissar." ”

Li Yong smiled: "Lao Wang, what kind of ability do I call it, I am stained with the good light of our People's Liberation Army policy, in the final analysis, it is still the 'three disciplines, eight attentions' method formulated by our chairman máo, without these prerequisites, it is useless for the soldiers to shout." ”

Wang Chengde nodded and said yes, without the good policies formulated by the superiors and without the earnest implementation of the soldiers, the current results would not have been achieved, so the surrender at the sound of a loudspeaker is also the result of the accumulation of the PLA troops over the years, and it is not something that can be done in a moment and a half, and other troops cannot learn it if they want to.

The Independent Brigade and the Fifth Brigade finally met on the battlefield, and the soldiers were very busy, although the 123rd Brigade was a newly formed unit, but it was also **, with the addition of Chiang Kai-shek, the transport captain, and the efforts of Hu Zongnan, a very loyal student, there are still some good things in the **, and we must not let go of what should be taken, at least we must replenish the consumption of this battle, according to the words of the brigade commander Li Yong, no matter what we do, we can't do the business of accompanying the book.

The troops of the Eighth Route Army, they are all this kind of thinking, so the contradiction comes out, there are two units of the Eighth Route Army on the battlefield, there are good things that both families want, the soldiers of the Fifth Brigade and the Independent Brigade are almost about to grab it, they are brothers when dealing with the enemy, but once the enemy is wiped out, who doesn't have a little heart when it comes to cleaning up the battlefield? It's also normal.

But no matter what, the two troops still point to the position of the luàn, luàn let some commanders frown, the troops of the Eighth Route Army together to grab supplies is really enough to see, the fifth brigade commander Guo with a cadre of commanders found Li Yong and Wang Chengde, Brigade Commander Guo said in a mountainous way: "Brigade Commander Li, political commissar Wang, do you think this is good, the capture of the battlefield is half of our two families, don't let the soldiers rob it, it is too delayed." ”

Li Yong also nodded with a wry smile and said Okay, to say that the two soldiers have a bit of a dispute, most of them are provoked by the people of the independent brigade, and they are used to being the king and dominating the land on the battlefield, and they can't restrain themselves when they meet their own people, especially the deputy battalion commander of the baggage battalion, He Cuihuā, who was born in logistics, saw that everything was a treasure, so he almost didn't pull the ground back, and the hundreds of soldiers with her were what to see and grab something (only about half of the people who could be transferred out of the baggage battalion, The rest also had to manage supplies and be responsible for replenishing ammunition to the front line, so the troops led by He Cui Huā were only a few hundred people, and not all the baggage battalions were pulled up).

He Cuihuā's idea is that some things are useless now, but it doesn't mean that they will be useless in the future, so everything that can be taken away must be taken away, and the soldiers of the Fifth Brigade have clashed several times for this matter, and the people of the Fifth Brigade have a lot of opinions about her, and He Cuihuā doesn't care if they have an opinion or not, just grab it.

Not to mention how they cleaned up the battlefield, while the 5th Brigade and the Independent Brigade surrounded the 123rd Brigade, the 4th Brigade, which was the reserve of the column campaign, also launched an attack on the 165th Brigade of the 36th Division of the Kuomintang together with the 6th Brigade.

As the reserve of the column, the Fourth Brigade has always been watching the battle from behind, and this veteran unit is used to fighting hard battles and big battles, and has very opinions about being a reserve, and some commanders and soldiers muttered in their sī: "Every battle is the main force, but I didn't expect to be a second-echelon this time, what is this called?" ”

Brigade Commander Chen didn't care about this, the field army and the column should consider the overall situation when arranging tasks, what happened to being a reserve? When the reserve unit was able to make meritorious contributions, and when the column ordered the 4th Brigade and the 6th Brigade to come together to encircle the 165th Brigade came at once, Brigade Commander Chen took this opportunity to make a combat mobilization of the whole brigade:

"Comrades, I heard that some people are very unconvinced to be in the reserves, thinking that we are the main brigade of the field army and columns, and this work is not what we should do. Now that the order of the column has come down, we want to join forces with the 6th Brigade to encircle the 165th Brigade that is still resisting, whether it is a mule or a horse to go out and slip away, and it is impossible to say what the main force is coming from just with words, everyone knows that the Independent Brigade is our Xiǎo brother unit, which is separated from our 4th Brigade, and they have already eaten up the 28th Brigade, the main force of the 36th Division, and is now attacking the enemy's 123rd Brigade with the 5th Brigade, I don't want to listen to any strange words and prison words, the 165th Brigade is right under our noses, do you want to eat it? ”

Brigade Commander Chen, who was born in the old Red Army, shouted at the morale of the troops, yes, what's the use of just talking with his mouth, he has to show some real skills, even the independent brigade of the Xiǎo brothers can't compare to what kind of big brother troops, what kind of main force is it?

The soldiers roared and shouted for the commanders of their respective units to ask the brigade commander for a task, so that as soon as the battle began, the four brigades were extremely fierce, and each regiment used two battalions to fight the forward, and when they encountered a little position, one charge to solve the problem.

The Fourth Brigade had just been put into battle, the soldiers were full of body, ammunition was sufficient, the offensive was fierce, the arrow troops continued to break through, and the Kuomintang 165th Brigade when the Second Column and the Sixth Brigade had resisted a few xiǎo could no longer hold on, and some defensive areas were scattered before the PLA could attack.

The 4th Brigade and the 6th Brigade, the 2nd Infantry Brigade of the 2nd Column, together had more than 17,000 personnel, while the 165th Brigade of the 36th Division of the Kuomintang had less than 5,000 personnel, less than one-third of the personnel of the PLA.

In the attack force of the Fourth Brigade, the main force was still the second regiment of the main force, and Regiment Commander Zhao ran with a submachine gun like the soldiers, and shouted to the soldiers beside him as he ran: "Hurry up, the target of our regiment is the brigade headquarters of the 165th Brigade, don't worry about anything else." ”

Commander Zhao's style is sometimes influenced by the commander of the Independent Brigade Li Da, don't look at Commander Zhao, the commander from the old Red Army, on the surface he doesn't say anything about the promotion of the Independent Brigade so quickly, but he still holds back a lot of energy in his heart, Commander Zhao sometimes thinks: Damn, Lao Tzu's soldiers have become brigade commanders, political commissars and battalion commanders, am I old or something is wrong? No, you can't let these xiǎo guys compare.

In fact, it was not the regimental commander Zhao who was too old, but Li Yong, Wang Chengde and others were too young, and after the battle began, the regimental commander Zhao, who was in his thirties, ordered the troops not to fall in love with the battle, and the whole regiment was fierce, and the target of the attack was directly aimed at the brigade headquarters of the 165th Brigade, and the enemy's headquarters was knocked out first.

As soon as the old second regiment got started, it used two battalions as sharp knives, and the regimental headquarters and another battalion followed behind as the second echelon, and the order given by Regiment Commander Zhao to the regiment was not to stop the attack, not to leave the enemy even a little respite, and the sharp knife troops could not continue to attack by the second echelon, in order to supplement the strength of the second echelon, Regiment Commander Zhao sent the guard company and reconnaissance company in the regiment together, and even picked up his submachine gun and went to the front line.
