Chapter 338 Fight Again for the Thirty-Sixth Division Three

He Cuihua, the deputy battalion commander who got up to grab the task, stood up and sat down again, everyone saw it, how could these old eight-way people who were thieves and thieves not think of her thoughts, looking at He Cuihua who sat down sullenly, even the political commissar Wang Chengde and the battalion commander of the baggage battalion Sun Quanhou, the two big brother-level people, laughed, this girl, is a little used to fighting, she is going to be sick, and she wants to grab it when she sees the task, but then again, she is indeed a good soldier, and what the troops need in the war years are such soldiers.

Just when everyone was arguing, Wang Laohu, the commander of the fifth battalion, also stood up: "Comrades, I have been injured for so long, comrades have made meritorious contributions during the time I have been injured, and they are all great merits, I am very anxious, I can't sleep well at night, and my mouth is foaming, comrades, I will hand over the task of serving as a commando to our fifth battalion this time, let our fifth battalion also make a great contribution." ”

As soon as Wang Laohu said this, the venue suddenly fell silent, Wang Laohu was telling the truth, he was injured and pulled down a lot of battles during this time, old soldiers like Wang Laohu, who were extremely loyal to the army from the blood, said that it was false not to be in a hurry, and these old soldiers also understood his feelings, so others were really embarrassed to rob him.

Li Yong and Wang Chengde glanced at each other, this is the tacit understanding between Li Yong and Wang Chengde, whenever the meeting is held to this kind of Cheng Dù, the two main leaders have to look at the reactions of the commanders below, and when they see that Wang Chengde stood up, others did not speak, and they knew that everyone agreed with Wang Laohu's fifth battalion to serve as a commando.

That is, the troops of the People's Liberation Army, knowing that when the commandos suffered heavy casualties, they had to rush to the battle, and as long as such troops had the right soil and opportunities, it would be difficult to defeat the battle.

Li Yong: "The plan is like this, since this is a lonely mountain, we will make full use of the geographical conditions here, attack from all sides, the flank of the new 28th Brigade is the enemy's 123rd Brigade and 165th Brigade, these two brigades are attacked and contained by other units of our column, and then behind is the main force of the enemy's corps, and our field army is responsible for containment, this does not need our cao heart, what we have to do is how to deal with the enemy's new 28th Brigade, the division of labor of our brigade is,

The first battalion attacked from the left side, the second battalion attacked from the right, the third battalion attacked from the rear mountain and the fifth battalion attacked from the front, and the reconnaissance battalion and the baggage battalion were the brigade reserves and were ready to fight at any time. ”

These commanders who came to the meeting listened silently to Li Yong's arrangement, and political commissar Wang Chengde did not say anything more; although he was the secretary of the brigade party committee, the combat command still had to be decided by the brigade commander.

Li Yong continued: "The purpose of our brigade is to supplement the attacks on the left and right and in the rear, with the front as the main assault direction, and the frontal combat command is in charge of Wang Laohu. ”

Li Yong's arrangement also took into account various factors, the main force of the independent brigade was placed on the front of the attack, and the troops of several battalions were temporarily organized together to pick a commander who convinced everyone, and Wang Laohu was undoubtedly the best candidate, for example, Wang Laohu was still in the hospital and did not come out, and the selection of troops had to think about the problem from a different angle, and the acting battalion commander He Cuihua was also very good and very good at fighting, but it was obviously a little tender to let her command several battalions to cooperate with the operation, which was improvisation.

Wang Laohu's face flushed, this is the task he wants, to smash the enemy's 28th Brigade from the front, if he says it in the future, and the brigade commander and political commissar have assigned the machine gun battalion and howitzer battalion to themselves, so it is said that the attack from the front is the four main battalions of the independent brigade, with a total strength of more than 3,000 people, I don't believe that the Kuomintang 28th Brigade can hold on.

The terrain of Huti Mountain is open from the front, and the rest is narrow, and the attack from the front is suitable for the deployment of troops and firepower, since there is no way to sneak attack, it will attack from the front, and in the face of real strength, a conspiracy is a floating cloud, don't you Kuomintang want to defend? Didn't your 36th Division want to see the intentions of our PLA? Well, our People's Liberation Army is here, and we will smash all your qiē, including confidence.

The battle plan of the independent brigade was immediately transmitted to the hands of Commander Wang of the column, and Commander Wang replied: "I have given the task, as for how to fight is your business, I don't look at the process, only look at the result, but we don't have much time, we must end the battle before dark, your brigade will attack manually, and the enemy in other directions will have a column in charge, so don't worry." ”

This is also Commander Wang's command style, when selecting troops and commanders, we must be mindful, choose the best troops and the best commanders to complete the most difficult tasks, but once the decision is made, let go of the troops below to do it, and use any means to achieve it, as long as the battle is won.

Looking at the commanders at all levels, brigade commander Li Yong finally said: "Comrades, take out the courage of our People's Liberation Army, let the enemy experience our true strength, and let them taste the iron fist of our People's Liberation Army. At the critical moment, we must fight hard and show the prestige of our brigade, so that the enemy will be terrified when he hears that our brigade will be frightened. ”

Li Yong's agitation made the blood of these veteran soldiers boil, the brigade commander said too well, we are the main force, the main brigade of the whole field army, the main force is here, no matter what the enemy is, we must niùzi.

Political Commissar Wang Chengde stressed after the brigade commander Li Yong finished speaking: "The intention of our field army in this operation is to create an opportunity to destroy the Kuomintang's integrated 36th Division in the attack of the enemy's large corps, and to strike at the enemy's arrogance, the key of which is our second column, and the key to our second column is on our independent brigade, if we want to quickly destroy the 36th Division, we must use the fastest degree to disintegrate its defense system, the key part of the entire defensive position of the 36th Division is the new 28th Brigade, as long as we can eliminate the 28th Brigade, The entire defense system of the 36th Division will collapse, and everyone thinks about it, if we drive the enemy down from the mountains, we can solve the big problem, and what will be the result of a field battle with our second column with superior forces in the plains? Therefore, the key point of the entire field army in this campaign is our independent brigade, and if we can quickly end the battle, every link will be alive, and if we cannot win this battle, as Commander Wang said, I am afraid that the entire field army's campaign operations will be canceled. ”

At the headquarters of the Second Column of the Northwest Field Army, a chief kept looking at the watch on his wrist while walking, and his mouth was still muttering: "What's the matter?" Why hasn't the Independent Brigade started yet? What are these guys doing? ”

Commander Wang in front of the map said a little funny: "Okay, look at your urgency, you always persuaded me to stabilize before, what's wrong today?" ”

The chief also smiled and replied: "I really can't rest assured that the Independent Brigade has just formed an army and let them fight such an important battle." ”

Commander Wang: "Haha, don't worry, these guys in the Independent Brigade have a lot of heavy weapons, and they have to move slower than other troops, according to their degree of action, it should be almost the same in ten minutes, let's smoke a cigarette first, and if they can't ring again after ten minutes, you can call them directly on the phone and ask, well, teach them a few words first." ”

"Okay, just do as you say, but, I said beard, I heard that this gang caught a few enemy tanks when they were fighting Yan'an a few days ago, is this really the case?"

Commander Wang: "I've read all the battle reports, I've also read the capture statistics, you went to the rear to lead the recruits a few days ago and just came back, I haven't had time to tell you that it was the captured eight tanks, the Americans came out, the slender neck (referring to the caliber of artillery, the caliber of the tanks captured by the independent brigade is 37 mm, some), even the people and tanks were all caught, hey, if there were more tanks, the caliber of the artillery would be a little larger, it would be better." ”

"Beard, okay, it's good to have tanks, we didn't have anything before, it's not the same victory, the weapon has to see whose hands it is, in the hands of our People's Liberation Army, a grenade must be wielded with the greatest power."

While the two column commanders were talking, they heard a deafening sound of artillery fire coming from the direction of the Independent Brigade, first with a few test firings of "knock, knock, knock", and then the sound of firing became one after another, and more than ten seconds later, an earth-shattering explosion came from the Hutishan position defended by the enemy's 28th Brigade.

The battle of the Northwest Field Army to annihilate the 36th Division suddenly began, and Commander Wang ran to the table in a few steps, picked up the phone and shouted: "When the whole column attacks, we must contain the enemy's 123rd Brigade and 165th Brigade in the flank, and we must not let them fire even a single bullet at the Independent Brigade. Tell me how to repeat it. ”

The Fifth Brigade and the Sixth Brigade of the Second Column also started at the first time; after several replenishments, the personnel of the two brigades exceeded 8,000 people, and the weaponry and equipment also underwent earth-shaking changes compared with before, and the artillery was even more developed, the number of heavy artillery pieces in each brigade reached more than 40, and the level of training of fighters was also markedly improved.
