As the saying goes, mosquitoes are not eggs, and the PLA picked these two divisions because they were too far away from the main force of the Corps, and there were problems with the connection of the defense area, which gave Mr. Peng and the commanders of the Ye Division an opportunity to take advantage of it, and it was possible for the troops to wear BSP; However, during the battle, the field army encountered unexpected difficulties, and the attack of the 1st and 2nd columns on the 17th Kuomintang Division went very smoothly, and if nothing else, the so-called integrated division could be completely annihilated after a while, but when the 3rd and 4th columns besieged the 38th Division of the Kuomintang, they ran into a nail, and the attack did not make much progress for several hours, and the troops also paid the price, and suffered many casualties.
Xu Guangda of the Third Column and Commander Zhang Dazhi of the Fourth Column ordered the troops to launch an uninterrupted offensive in order to open up the situation as much as possible, trying to separate the 38th Division, which was huddled together, but judging from the battlefield situation, the resistance of the 38th Division of the Kuomintang was very stubborn and it was difficult to succeed in a short period of time.
At this juncture, the main force of the Kuomintang Corps leaned over again, and unlike previous times, this time the Kuomintang reinforcements appeared to be extremely active, and the degree of action was very fast, so that they were about to catch fire with the sixth column responsible for reinforcements.
If this matter had been put aside a year ago, Hu Zongnan would not have been so anxious, in Hu Zongnan's eyes, the so-called corps commander is just an ornament, and the actual commander is still him, the first general of the 6th Army.
At this point, Hu Zongnan is the same as his principal, the military power is said that he can't let go, but now it's different, the current Peng Dehuai Department of the Northwest Communist Army is not the Tubalu more than a year ago, as before, he left the commander of the corps, and it is no longer feasible to direct the battle from Xi'an, and his entire net worth is also pressed on the front line, if this battle is lost again, no need for Chiang Kai-shek to order him, Hu Zongnan himself will not be able to do it, there is strength if there are soldiers, and if there is no army, what is the king of the northwest. (Just read the novel)
(Without Hu Zongnan's order, the Kuomintang front-line commander could not even mobilize a battalion, and he had to ask for instructions every time he fought, which can be regarded as one of the reasons for the defeat of the Kuomintang in the northwest battlefield)
Hu Zongnan ordered his division commanders, brigade commanders, and regiment commanders to completely obey the command of Commander Pei Changhui, go all out, and make sure to relieve the siege of the 17th and 38th Divisions.
The pressure on the Kuomintang front-line commanders increased suddenly, and in order to keep the black gauze hats on their heads and the heads on their necks, these officers no longer dared to slack off, and under the cover of aircraft, tanks, and artillery, they frantically pounced on the Northwest Field Army.
The situation on the battlefield suddenly became critical, and the troops responsible for encircling and annihilating the 17th and 38th Divisions had not yet finished the battle, and the large corps of the Kuomintang pounced on them, but only one of the six columns had the ability to stop the enemy, and the sixth column had only more than 20,000 men, while the enemy's troops were 167,000, and whether the 6th Column, which was more than 20,000 people, could stop the main force of the Kuomintang of more than 100,000 people.
At the headquarters of the field army, Mr. Peng frowned and was talking to a few chiefs: "I didn't expect this 38th Division to be so difficult to deal with, the attack of the third and fourth columns lasted for four or five hours, but it only occupied some peripheral positions, and the core and main positions were still in the hands of the enemy." ”
A commander took over Mr. Peng's words and said: "The 38th Division is an old unit, it has fought with little devils, and it has never suffered a big loss with us several times, and the grassroots officers have a lot of experience in commanding, Xu Guangda and Zhang Dazhi commanded the troops to rush more than a dozen times in a row, trying to separate them, but they were unsuccessful. (Just read the novel)"
Another chief said: "Boss, the enemy's main force is about to fight with the sixth column, and it is too difficult to block the enemy with the strength of a sixth column. ”
This long term means that they should work according to the old methods of the Eighth Route Army, eat what they can, withdraw if they can't, use mobile guerrilla warfare to deal with the Kuomintang, and do not fight hard with the enemy, and since there is no way to eat the encircled enemy, they should seize the time to withdraw, and save themselves from being entangled and bringing danger to the troops.
But obviously Mr. Peng did not want to adopt his opinion, although the 38th Division of the Kuomintang was difficult to gnaw, but the attack of the 1st and 2nd columns on the 17th Division was very smooth, and Mr. Peng did not want to throw away this rou bun that was about to arrive.
"There is still room for maneuver in the matter, it is too cheap for them to withdraw now, order the first and second columns to increase the intensity of the attack, quickly resolve the battle, and then encircle the 38th Division with the third and fourth columns, and order the sixth column to be sure to stop the enemy's main force and not let go of an enemy."
Peng Lao always wanted to take advantage of the last opportunity to fight with the Kuomintang army again, if the first and second columns could eat the 17th Division, and then turn around and encircle and annihilate the Kuomintang 38th Division with the third and fourth columns, it should be enough to use the four main columns to deal with the Kuomintang 38th Division.
But there is a premise here, and the premise is that the four columns of the field army need time, and they need time to encircle and annihilate the 38th Division, and this time can only be guaranteed by the sixth column at present.
On the front line of the Sixth Column of the Northwest Field Army, the smoke of gunpowder was filled with gunpowder, shrapnel was flying sideways, and all kinds of artillery of the Kuomintang army kept pouring shells of various calibers on the positions of the Sixth Column.
Commander Luo Yuan held the phone and his face sank like water: "All brigades and regiments should pay attention, the battle of the main force of our field army to encircle and annihilate the enemy's 17th and 38th divisions has not yet ended. ”
Commander Luo Yuan's three brigades are all subordinate to the front line, except for some logistics and guard units, there is basically no strength in his hands, not that Commander Luo does not want to keep the reserves, but that he can't stay, the main force of the Kuomintang 1670,000 troops has opened a long front, and the defense line left by the reserves cannot be held.
But regardless of whether there are reserves or not, Noji's orders must be carried out, and what to buy time for the brother troops? Commander Luo ordered the troops, with bullets, grenades, bayonets, with blood, with teeth, with all the qiē, to be sure to block the enemy, even if the six columns were exhausted.
What is the PLA troops, this is it, dare to stand up at the critical moment, dare to face a hardship and challenge without being succumbed by the enemy, what if there is only one column, and a column must also complete the task given by Ye Sijiao.
The Sixth Column is a heroic unit, the predecessor unit of the Sixth Army of the Chinese People's Liberation Army, formed on the basis of the Jinpenwan Teaching Brigade in the Battle of Yan'an.
(The Teaching Brigade held the Jinpenwan position in the Battle of Yan'an, and each soldier had an average of only ten bullets and a small number of grenades at that time, but the Teaching Brigade used such rudimentary weapons and equipment to attack the Kuomintang army for seven days, so the Teaching Brigade became famous in World War I and became a prestigious unit in the battle sequence of the People's Liberation Army.) )
If you want to say that it is Mr. Peng who always uses soldiers, the style of each main combat column of the field army is different, and this sixth column is known for being good at fighting defensive battles, so Mr. Peng has the confidence to let them fight with the main force of the enemy's corps, and create a little more time for the remaining four columns.
And the Sixth Column did not live up to expectations, and was not intimidated by the surging Kuomintang troops, gritting its teeth and fighting hard with the enemy.
Shelling, charging, shelling, charging, the Kuomintang troops kept repeating this action, and the forward positions of the Sixth Column were all scorched to the earth, and the soldiers took advantage of the gap between each enemy retreat to repair the damaged fortifications in order to prepare for another fight with the enemy.
The Kuomintang Corps adopted the tactics of breaking through in the middle and detouring on both flanks, with the troops on both sides responding and the troops in the middle breaking through, this tactic was decided according to the personnel of the troops, and the positions held by the Sixth Column were not suitable for the development of the Kuomintang Corps, so breaking through from the middle became the only choice of the Kuomintang Corps at present, which was also taken into account when the Sixth Column chose a defensive position.
Pei Changhui, an old fox, is very shrewd, Hu Zongnan naturally used him again, and Pei Changhui, who had fought for many years, knew very well that the main forces of the Northwest Field Army were encircling and annihilating his 17th and 38th divisions, and it was impossible for him to be the main force of the communist army in this area.
This guy shouted at the officer's meeting of the troops: "Pillars of the party-state, the communist army is only more than 100,000 people, and now most of their energy is thinking about how to eat our 17th and 38th divisions, and there will be no means to deal with the main force of our corps, Peng Dehuai is a person, not a god, and he will not do any spells to scatter beans into soldiers, there are definitely not many troops of the communist army here, Chief Hu has orders, and those who are brave will be rewarded for the former, and those who retreat are engaged in military law, not his own ruthlessness, It is true that the party-state has reached the most critical time, and I am here to assure you that the first unit to break through the communist position, each officer will be promoted by one rank, and the division commander will be promoted by me as the deputy commander of our corps. ”
