In the oppressive attack on the county town of Longxi, the independent brigade only used a tank battalion to force this local security regiment of less than 1,000 people to surrender
Li Yong and Wang Chengde, who entered the city again, were very touched, in the face of absolute strength, Yiqiē's conspiracy and tricks were all scum, just like the Kuomintang security regiments in Wushan and Longxi, in the face of the powerful attack ability of the independent brigade, as long as they did not surrender, no matter how they resisted, they could not escape the fate of being wiped out.
Still like in Wushan, the independent brigade that entered the city did not set off in a hurry, but used this period of time to rest and recuperate, but the brigade commander Li Yong asked the troops to prepare for a big battle, and each battalion and company had to come up with a complete set of plans for attacking the city.
Not only did the soldiers feel strange, but even the political commissar Wang Chengde did not quite understand Li Yong's order, up to now, the tasks of several corps of the Northwest Field Army have been very clear, Wang Zhenbu of the First Corps cut off the retreat of the Qingma Army, and chose the opportunity to attack and advance to Xining, and the Zhou Shidi Department of the Eighteenth Corps was responsible for suppressing Hu Zongnan's Central Army, and used the Xu Guangda Department of the Second Corps and the Yang Dezhi Department of the Nineteenth Corps to encircle and annihilate the Qingma Army in Lanzhou.
As the vanguard of the First Corps, the Independent Brigade at this stage is mainly dealing with the enemy's local security regiments, just like Wushan and Longxi, as well as the Kuomintang local armed forces that will face the next opponent Lintao immediately.
However, there is a habit in the independent brigade that everyone can't explain clearly, as long as the decision made by the brigade commander Li Yong, whether it is reasonable or not, it must always be strictly implemented, and the facts of the past few years have also proved that the brigade commander's decision is indeed correct, which even the political commissar Wang Chengde also recognizes very much.
Lintao, another county town stuck on the advance line of the Independent Brigade, or a county town that was assigned to the attack range of the army by the leaders of the field army.
The independent brigade once again showed its usual methods, this time the brigade commander Li Yong intensified the intensity of deterrence, in order to be sure, put the tank battalion and the heavy howitzer battalion in front of the county seat, and on this basis, let the prisoners of the security regiments of Wushan and Longxi shout to the city.
Dense tanks and armored vehicles, black and flickering cannon barrels, the Kuomintang local armed forces in Lintao have never seen such a guy so big, almost and urine - this is indeed not a lie, in the northwest at that time, except for the later Kuomintang Central Army, even the most domineering Qingma Army did not have a few cannons, let alone a tank, and the security forces in these places never thought of having such equipment.
(There is only one howitzer battalion in the 82nd Army, the most elite unit of the Green Horse Army, which is still Ma Bufang spent a lot of money to get the special approval of Chairman Jiang in order to take care of his son, and then there is an artillery unit in the 14th Brigade of the 14th Brigade that was eliminated a few days ago, and the general troops are only equipped with rifles and sabers, plus a small number of machine guns, There are two reasons why the equipment of the Green Horse Army is not good, one is that the industrial base in the northwest is weak, and it cannot be produced within the scope of Ma Bufang's control, The second is that Chiang Kai-shek deliberately did it in order to control the power of the local warlords)
What else can be done, even the brothers in Wushan and Longxi have surrendered, and our Lintao does not have three heads and six arms, what else can we resist, surrender.
Under the strong pressure of the large army of the People's Liberation Army, the Independent Brigade took three cities in a row without losing a single soldier, which can be regarded as a miracle.
Li Yong, who was stationed in Lintao, asked Li Jia, the company commander of the guard company and the commander of the communications platoon, to immediately send a report to Commander Wang of the Corps and Commander Guo Peng of the Second Army: Our unit has successfully captured Lintao and is now preparing materials for crossing the river.
After the capture of Lintao, the Independent Brigade had to face the raging Daxia River, and only after crossing the Daxia River could it advance to Xining, and the Daxia River was a big test for the Independent Brigade.
The independent brigade has a large number of weapons and equipment, such as automobiles, artillery, and tanks, but these weapons also have a common shortcoming, that is, the pressure on logistics is extremely great, whether it is fighting or marching, for example, the Daxia River that we have to face now is the time to test the logistics ability of the troops.
If you want to cross the river, you need to have bridges and boats, of course, the huge independent brigade is not suitable for ferrying boats, so you can only use bridges, the requirements for building pontoon bridges are different, if it is an ordinary infantry unit, maybe it will not take much effort to make a simple pontoon bridge, but now it is different, the tanks and heavy artillery of the independent brigade have very high requirements for the quality of the bridge, and negligence will cause a big disaster, for this reason, the brigade commander Li Yong and the political commissar Wang Chengde came to the river to observe the situation, See what you can do to build a pontoon bridge that can pass heavy artillery and tanks in the shortest possible time.
Fortunately, the independent brigade had long been prepared for this kind of problem, and brigade commander Li Yong was usually thinking about how to solve the problem of logistical support for the troops, and it was also equipped with a professional engineer company, and the company commander Xiaocheng had already pulled his company to the Daxia River at this time, and the company's more than 200 people were preparing all kinds of tools and equipment.
The engineer company of more than 200 people was all specially selected by Xiao Cheng himself from the whole brigade, and the composition of the personnel in the company was very complicated, including liberation fighters who had worked as engineers in the Kuomintang troops before, craftsmen found from the militia who joined the army in the liberated areas, and some local people who were familiar with the water conditions, all of which were also pulled by Xiao Cheng.
Recently, the battles of the independent brigade are very frequent, Xiao Cheng and the brigade commander Li Yong have fewer opportunities to meet, Xiao Chengmeng, who was busy with the soldiers, looked up and saw the brigade commander Li Yong and political commissar Wang Chengde coming over, and served the brigade commander as a guard for a long time, saying that there was no emotion It was nonsense, Xiao Cheng ran over in a few steps, forgot to even raise his hand to salute, grabbed Li Yong's hand and shouted: "Oh, brigade commander, why are you here too?" ”
This is Xiao Cheng's habitual action, when he first became a soldier, he was still young, and no one blamed him, and was later corrected by Li Jiangguo and Zhang Jinsong and other veterans, but Xiao Cheng often did this in front of Li Yong, especially when he was in a hurry.
Xiao Cheng and Sanniu were Li Yong's earliest guards, and they were no different from their own brothers, in front of Li Yong, as long as they were not in front of everyone, Xiao Cheng and Sanniu had no scruples, and Li Yong did not regard himself as a regimental commander and brigade commander.
"How about Xiaocheng? How long will it take to build the pontoon bridge, and will the tanks and heavy artillery of our brigade be able to pass through guò? ”
Xiao Cheng: "Brigade commander, I just took a closer look, we are sure of building a pontoon bridge, but it will take time, and it will take at least a few hours to build a pontoon bridge that can allow tanks and cars to pass through guò, this is because we have prepared for a long time, and the tools and equipment are ready-made, otherwise the time will drag on longer." ”
Xiao Cheng has matured, more than two years of combat life has turned this young man into an excellent grassroots commander of the People's Liberation Army, Xiao Cheng, who has more than 200 soldiers under his command, believes that building a pontoon bridge is the unshirkable task of the engineer company, he must let the weapons and equipment and personnel of the whole brigade cross the Daxia River safely, and if something goes wrong, he, the company commander, must take responsibility.
Li Yong, who has read it in detail, is very satisfied, the work of the engineer company is doing a good job, at this rate, there is no problem in erecting the pontoon bridge in a few hours, as long as the river can be crossed, the independent brigade will be a rampant and domineering swimming dragon, what Qinghai, Xining, it will tremble under the feet of the PLA soldiers, Ma Bufang's nest, we are coming.
Just when Brigade Commander Li was groaning with good intentions, Li Jia, the company commander of the guard company, ran over from behind panting: "Brigade commander, political commissar, telegram, emergency telegram from the corps." ”
Li Yong was stunned for a moment, and saw Li Jia stuff a telegram into his hand, the content of the telegram was written: Order, Li Yong and Wang Chengde of the Independent Brigade, stop advancing and return the same way.
The king of one field and one army
Li Yong casually handed the telegram to Wang Chengde: "Lao Wang, it was personally signed by the commander of the Corps Wang, what do you think?" ”
Wang Chengde glanced at the simple telegram a few times, thought for a moment and said: "Who can say well, it may be that our mission has changed, no matter what, let's carry it out first." ”
Xiao Cheng, who had been standing beside the two of them, asked suspiciously: "Brigade commander, political commissar, our pontoon bridge is still not built?" ”
Li Yong: "Let's ride, continue to ride, we can't cross the river, other troops have to cross, we will get it done first, and we will save the troops behind the trouble, your engineer company doesn't need to worry, after the bridge is built, use some soldiers to watch it, and then chase us." ”
Under the orders of their superiors, the independent brigade, which was advancing like a dragon, turned around in place, left the Great Xia River, and returned along the way it came.
The rear team became the front team, and the fighters were talking endlessly: "Seeing that I was about to cross the Daxia River, why did I suddenly go back again?" What's going on? ”
Another one took it and said: "You ask me, how do I know, I am not a brigade commander and political commissar, you want to know the reason you go and ask them." ”
Later, the question of the soldiers became the question of the battalion commanders and company commanders at all levels, until Li Yong and Wang Chengde were asked, and before the jeep of the first battalion commander Li Jiangguo drove to the front, this guy shouted at the top of his voice: "Brigade commander, aren't we going to Xining Duanma Bufang's nest, why did you go back again, why did you let the cooked duck go?" I can't figure it out. ”t!。
