After receiving the order of Commander Wang, the 4th Brigade, which was the reserve of the column campaign, besieged the 165th Brigade of the Kuomintang with a ferocious offensive and the 6th Brigade. The full-text and ad-free novels are all biquge.info on Aishang Novel Network

When the 165th Brigade first topped the 6th Brigade of the People's Liberation Army, there was a big gap between the personnel strength and the 6th Brigade, and when Brigade Commander Chen led the 4th Brigade to attack, it became even more insensitive.

The 165th Brigade of the 36th Division is the same as the 123rd Brigade, this number is also old, it is a time-honored name in the Kuomintang army, but unfortunately the troops are new, three infantry regiments, each regiment has only more than 1,000 people, and the few people are compared with the original Eighth Route Army.

A newly formed brigade of more than 4,000 people was surrounded by two full-fledged main brigades of the People's Liberation Army, and the strength reached four to one.

What is the art of command on the battlefield? In this way, a clever commander is to turn an unfavorable situation into an advantage, to turn passivity into initiative, and not to look at the fact that the total strength of the field army is inferior to that of the Kuomintang, but under the command of General Peng, the Northwest Field Army has been able to maintain its superiority on the local battlefield through constant movement and mobilization, and on the local battlefield it has used its absolute superiority to eat the encircled 36th Division by means of fighting eagles and rabbits.

The old 2nd Regiment, the main force of the 4th Brigade, was the first to rush in, not only knocking out the headquarters of the 165th Brigade but also capturing the brigade commander alive.

Commander Wang, who was holding a statistical report in his hand, was reporting the situation: "Mr. Peng, I am Wang Huzi, our second column has completely annihilated the 36th Division after nearly a day of fighting, hahaha, yes the chief, that's right, is it all annihilated, the 28th Brigade, the 123rd Brigade, and the 165th Brigade have all been killed, and the captured weapons and ammunition are not clear, and more than 10,000 prisoners have been captured, and Zhong Song, who can't be killed, was also killed by us, what?" Casualty? Report to the chief, the casualties are completely expected by us, and knowing the chief, we will immediately withdraw from the battle. ”

The headquarters of the Northwest Field Army, a small Xiǎo room seems to be very crowded, the walls are full of maps, there are more than a dozen telephones on the table, people coming in and out one after another, and the work in their hands is endless, but the expressions on people's faces are relaxed, the people in the headquarters, even the soldiers know more than others, no need to ask anything, from the expressions of the leaders, you can know that the battle situation on the front line is good.

Mr. Peng, the commander of this battle, looked at his watch, and then said to the chiefs in the room: "Wang Huzi did a good job, give him a day and a half, this guy has eaten the 36th Division in less than a day, so we will have more time." ”

A chief took over Mr. Peng's words: "Boss, is Wang Huzi getting tougher and harder, who let the family have four brigades, and he is very confident, and his chest is one inch higher than others when he walks." ”

Mr. Peng smiled casually, and then dictated the order to a commander: "Order, the first column of He Bingyan's department, the third column of Xu Guangda's department, the fourth column of Zhang Dazhi's department, and the sixth column of Luo Yuanfa's department, cover the retreat in turn, don't entangle with the enemy, and quickly get out of the battle." ”

The Second Column of the Northwest Field Army, with the vigorous cooperation of the main force of the field army, completely annihilated the newly formed 36 th Kuomintang Division in less than a day in less than a day in the enemy's attacking corps, killed division commander Zhong Song and other senior officers, and dealt a blow to Hu Zongnan's arrogance in wanting to redeem his influence.

After the battle ended, the whole field army, under the order of Mr. Peng, withdrew and disappeared again into the mountains and mountains of the great northwest like mercury.

The Kuomintang's offensive corps was shocked, and some senior officers were stunned to say no, the group operation of the large corps, which concentrated most of the main forces in the northwest battlefield, originally wanted to hit the northwest communist army hard, according to the original idea, this campaign should at least make the communist army unable to fight for half a year, so that the ** in the northwest can chōu transfer a part of the troops to support the Central Plains battlefield, but I didn't expect that Zhong Song, who was very capable of fighting, and his new 36th division were eaten by the communist army again, And the food was very clean and thorough, there was not a single bone residue left, and this time he didn't even run out, it was too wretched.

Hu Zongnan, the supreme commander of the Kuomintang in the great northwest, has always commanded the operation in the governor's office in Xi'an, but the supreme commander has never come out for such a big campaign, and has commanded the troops back and forth on the map, and the map at that time is very different from the actual geographical location, how can such a commander be the opponent of Mr. Peng.

The Kuomintang front-line corps, which was eaten up by the People's Liberation Army with rapid movements, no longer dared to act rashly, what kind of attack, it would be good not to be eaten by the communist army, between divisions and brigades, and between brigades, they were stationed tightly in place, for fear of leaving an opportunity for the People's Liberation Army, and one would be pulled out and eaten again if they did not pay attention.

It is also ridiculous to say that a large army of more than 200,000 people was frightened by a 100,000-strong army and shrunk its head and did not dare to move, but this is the true portrayal of history at that time.

The Northwest Field Army, which had won the battle, did not care what these Kuomintang officers thought, and after the main force of the field army had finished the battle, they should hurry up to the mountains to rest and recuperate, and the most important task now was to seize the time to restore the physical strength of the soldiers and the combat effectiveness of the troops.

There is too much work to be done after the battle, the sacrificed soldiers have to be buried, the wounded have to be sent to the rear hospital for treatment, all kinds of consumed ammunition have to be replenished, damaged weapons must be repaired in time, and the understaffed troops must try to reach full strength, as well as the ideological work of the captives, all kinds of statistics and reports, anyway, there is a lot of mess, and it is endless.

Although it is said that the elimination of the 36th Division was the result of the efforts of the entire field army, the battle was fought by the second column in the end, so there is no need to mention the pride of Commander Wang, and his voice was eight degrees higher when he spoke to the leaders of other columns.

Without the independent brigade occupying the hilltop position of Huti Mountain, the second column would not have been able to encircle the 36th Division, and if the encirclement was not timely, the 36th Division could not be quickly eliminated.

The soldiers of the Independent Brigade are not only the soldiers, but even some of the commanders are also very good, and when they walk inside, their heads are different, their faces are light, they walk with wind on their feet, and they speak in a loud voice.

In fact, the behavior of the soldiers is very related to the behavior of the head of the unit, let's talk about the independent brigade, if there is no connivance of Li Yong, the brigade commander, the soldiers will definitely be much more restrained, and the behavior of the brigade commander Li Yong is also related to the attitude of the commander of the column Wang and the xìng ge, and after being with the commander for a long time, he was influenced by him intentionally or unintentionally.

Some column-level leaders often discussed together, and the object of discussion was often Commander Wang of the second column: "Yes, the king's beard is shaking so much these days, you see, this guy is almost jumping and walking." ”

Commander Wang doesn't care about that, he can say whatever others like, and he should do whatever he wants, but Commander Wang also has a famous saying, 'Whoever is not convinced will fight, the Kuomintang gang is there, you can go wherever you go, and whoever goes, our second column will cooperate with you.'" ’

However, when he said this, Commander Wang often took the words back, and sometimes he asked the commanders and political commissars of these columns: "Don't be angry all the time, you touch your conscience and ask yourself, if Ye Si gives you a few columns the task, do you have such a happy job in our second column?" The 36th Division of the Kuomintang also held a gun in its hand, not a burning stick. ”

The leaders of these columns didn't know how to answer when they saw Commander Wang asking, who doesn't know that you Wang Huzi has four brigades, and the troops are nearly 10,000 more than us, of course, the combat effectiveness is stronger than other columns, but this can't be said, if you say it, Commander Wang will have another sentence waiting to come: "My four brigades are not transferred by the superiors, but developed by my Wang Huzi himself, can you also nòng send out four brigades, and Mr. Peng will definitely give you a number." ”

The problem went around and bypassed, and then it came to the Independent Brigade, in a word, anyway, after this battle, the Independent Brigade became famous again, and it was impossible to think of being famous.

Li Yong has also heard of these things, and knows that his independent brigade is a piece of féiròu and a piece of fragrant bread in the eyes of many leaders, but no matter whether the smelly work should be done or not, no matter how much he thinks about it, it is useless to think too much, and General Peng and Commander Wang will not transfer the independent brigade to other columns.

When it comes to doing work, Brigade Commander Li's laziness has come up again, there are more than 9,000 people in a brigade, this thing and that thing are endless, and everything must not be exhausted to death? What to do? There are too many ways, just give things to people who can do a good job.

The ideological and political work of the captive soldiers was taken care of by political commissar Wang Chengde, and the miscellaneous work of various statistics was left to the chief of staff Fang Xin, like what kind of supplementary weapons and ammunition, and the food and clothing were taken care of by Lao Sun and He Cuihua of the baggage battalion, anyway, Brigade Commander Li arranged all the work, and he had to rest and sleep for a few days first.

Li Yong's routine is unknown to others, but the political commissar Wang Chengde is clear, Wang Chengde dragged Li Yong all day long, and persuaded him: "Dayong, you can't be too lazy, our brigade is going to be busy with everything, you can't sleep all day long." ”

Note: The Northwest Field Army's second encirclement and annihilation of the 36th Division was known as the Chenghe Campaign, which was called the Fengyuan Battle by the Kuomintang, and Zhong Song, the commander of the 36th Division, escaped by himself again and was later removed by Hu Zongnan.
