Chapter 400 Poor Man's 258th Division

The continuous attack of the independent brigade for more than half an hour caused the 258th Division of the Ma Jiajun to lose more than half, and the political commissar Wang Chengde felt that the time had come, and discussed with Li Yong whether to slow down the offensive so that the soldiers could shout, maybe these beaten and dizzy cavalry would surrender when they heard the shouting.

Unexpectedly, Li Yong insisted that none of them should be left and all of them should be eliminated, the reason is that the cavalry of these Qingma Army is different from Hu Zongnan's Central Army, most of the soldiers in Hu Zongnan's Central Army are children from poor families, as long as they are caught and educated for a period of time, they are good soldiers, and most of the independent brigades, including the brigade commander Li Yong, can be said to be Hu Zongnan's soldiers, of course, it is a matter of the past.

However, many of the soldiers of this Ma Jiajun were born as bandits, and they were fierce and stubborn, and they had blood debts, and the older officers were very likely to have participated in the encirclement and suppression of the Red Army's Western Route Army, and an unknown number of Red Army soldiers died under their swords.

Li Yong didn't have a good impression of these soldiers of the Ma Jiajun, and it made people angry when they remembered their behavior of killing prisoners and killing and wounding people back then, and it was useless to ask for such prisoners. (The independent regiment of the Red Army's Western Route Army was all ruined in their hands, and at that time, a squad or platoon was captured and the Red Army NV soldiers were killed)

The troops of the People's Liberation Army do not kill prisoners, but there are also disadvantages if they do not kill prisoners, these soldiers who are habitual bandits do not have any skills, they will not do anything but be bandits, and it is a hidden danger to stay in the army.

In addition, there is another reason, our field army will develop greatly in the future, and we will also go to liberate Qinghai, Gansu, and Ningxia, the old nest of the Ma Jiajun, because the road ahead is still very long, and the difficulties will be even greater.

Li Yong's big truth made political commissar Wang Chengde unable to refute it, since he didn't object, he agreed, and even the political commissar agreed, what else to say, just do it.

At the insistence of the brigade commander Li Yong, the fierce fire attack lasted for more than an hour, and I don't know how many bullets and shells were consumed, anyway, except for dozens of old soldiers, no one knew how to save ammunition or anything, and then the gunfire slowly thinned out, and there was basically no living person in the eyes of the soldiers, and the entire ravine was turned into an apocalypse by the independent brigade.

"Tell Sù Weigang that their battalion should immediately go out and search all the surrounding areas of five to ten kilometers, and order the baggage battalion to clean up the battlefield immediately, and if there is stubborn resistance, they should replenish the guns and swords, and notify the soldiers, speed up, and the whole brigade will set off in an hour."

Within a few minutes of Li Yong's order, dozens of large trucks from Wei Gang's battalion drove out, and the engines were already in a state of ignition, waiting for the brigade commander to give an order.

And the more than 2,000 people of the baggage battalion and the supplementary battalion couldn't wait, and the soldiers, under the leadership of Sun Quanhou and He Cuiuā, rushed to the front to clean up the battlefield.

He Cui uā has been waiting impatiently for a long time, fighting a war, this is also called a war? This is purely to watch the excitement, more than 2,000 cats are watching the Western scenery in the trenches, not a single bullet is missed, not a single grenade is thrown, what does this mean? Hey, it's better to be the battalion commander in the fifth battalion, and you can fight every time.

The battalion commander Sun Quanhou is the oldest soldier in the independent brigade, more than ten years older than He Cui uā, He Cui uā's thoughts Lao Sun is clear, looking at He Cui uā who is anxious to walk back and forth, Lao Sun thinks, like a tomboy, how to find his in-laws in the future.

He Cui uā didn't think about what to find or not to find her mother-in-law's house, but was thinking about how to go up to fight, and then she couldn't help but discuss with Lao Sun, she went to the brigade commander and political commissar, asked for some combat missions, and brought her comrades to follow to make some credit, or how to tell the people in the station after going back, if people asked, how did you fight? How do we answer? He replied that the battle was good, but we didn't fire a single shot? It's also too ugly.

The impatient He Cui uā was dragged back by the battalion commander Lao Sun: "I said girl, don't follow Tian, don't say it's our baggage battalion, take a good look, Wei Gang's machine gun battalion, Gao Xiang's howitzer battalion, as well as several companies of Sanniu and Xiaocheng at the brigade headquarters, and Li Y-Ming's tank troops, all of them have no movement at all, which shows that our brigade commander and political commissar don't want to use these troops at all, and you have to be criticized if you go." ”

He Cui uā pondered it, but it was also, and when he saw the nest of the Ma family army in the ditch, he was deflated, and this bear appearance is not worthy of our independent brigade to use all the strength, if you don't go, you won't go.

In the end, there was finally a task, the brigade headquarters ordered the baggage battalion to clean up the battlefield, the task was very suitable for the baggage battalion to complete, most of the independent brigade was in their hands, and it was correct to let them go down to get a handful after the battle, but such a task He Cui uā couldn't raise the momentum at all, so Lao Sun rushed down with the troops in front, and he followed behind and shook down.

The baggage battalion rushed down the hillside, and the gunfire immediately stopped, and if it didn't stop, it would hit its own people, and some of the soldiers of other troops ate and drank water, and some talked nonsense: "Hey, look at this Ma Jiajun, who is also poor enough, and the baggage battalion is estimated to not be able to get any good goods back." ”

The other also followed the nonsense: "How do you know that there are no good goods, I heard that many people in the Ma family army are bandits, maybe there are gold bars or something on them, hurry up and ask our platoon commander to use the walkie-talkie to inform the comrades of the baggage battalion, don't forget to search your pockets." ”

"Still searching your pocket? Are you trying to break discipline? ”

"Pull it down, what is the violation of discipline, searching for the living is a violation of discipline, searching the pockets of the dead does not count, besides, even the search for the pockets of the living is not considered a violation of discipline in the eyes of our brigade commander, in the words of our brigade commander, it is not called a search for a waist bag, what is it called? Called the search for combat readiness materials, it can effectively increase the combat effectiveness of the troops, hahahaha. ”

The other soldier was immediately speechless, thinking that his brigade commander was really such a temper, ruthless to the enemy, and very tolerant to his own soldiers, most of the discipline in the army was a matter of political commissar Wang Chengde and chief of staff Fang Xinxin, the brigade commander Li Yong not only didn't care, but also often interceded with the soldiers, and he was also a freak in the PLA troops.

He Cui uā led a bunch of soldiers to staggered down the hillside, his eyes were full of dead people and dead horses, and he could see what he liked for ten or so minutes, and the weapons abandoned on the battlefield were not even light machine guns except rifles and sabers.

She has a high vision, she can't look down on these rags, and she can't raise any interest at all, He Cui uā called through Li Yong with a walkie-talkie: "Brigade commander, I'm He Cui uā, Ma Jiajun doesn't have anything good, let's go back." ”

He Cui uā's temper Li Yong and Wang Chengde are very clear, this knows that this girl is a little angry, Li Yong raised the microphone: "He Cui uā, what do you mean that there are no good things, you be serious, gather all the horses in the ditch, live and die, the sooner the better." ”

Ma Jiajun is indeed nothing good, except for the dead man is a horse, but no matter what, as long as there is a little use, all must go back, the independent brigade does not mean that other troops can't use it, for example, the sabre, the cavalry division of the field army is just used, the war horse must go, and the living is left for their own use, and it is really not necessary to send it to the cavalry division of the field army, and the dead horse is used as rations for the troops, and it is also a good choice for the soldiers to eat some horses.

But it's not that there is no gain at all, under the identification of a few prisoners who survived, a few soldiers carried the commander of the 258th Division, Ma Desheng, over, and killed a division commander, no matter what you say, it's a big deal, and the five battalions who heard about it immediately cheered, but I didn't expect that the kid in the clothes was Ma Desheng, this time it was L-big face. (The victory of Ma in history is indeed because the target is too obvious because of his clothes and is killed by artillery fire)

An hour later, Wei Gang and the soldiers of their battalion came back on time, in addition to the soldiers, dozens of prisoners of the Ma Jiajun were tied to the car, Wei Gang reported in despair, he arrested so many dozens of people, there was nothing else to gain, not even a grain of grain, according to the prisoners, their 258th Division was about to be cut off, so they chased the grain cart of the reconnaissance battalion desperately, originally wanted to grab some food, but did not expect to put their lives in.

After Wei Gang and the fighters of their battalion arrived, the brigade of the Independent Brigade immediately withdrew from its position, and once again disappeared into the depths of the vast mountains with the captures on the battlefield.

The whole battle took more than two hours, completely annihilating more than 7,000 people of the 258th Division of the Qingma Army, and killing Ma Desheng, the commander of the major general brigade (not a reorganized division, there is no brigade establishment below the division, so only the rank of major general was awarded), and the casualties of the independent brigade were only more than 100 people.

The battle seems simple, but it embodies the countless efforts of the commanders and fighters, from the calculation of the revenge psychology of the commander of the Ma Jiajun to the enemy and the ambush, every step is wrong, this battle can not be fought, the cavalry of the Ma Jiajun maneuvers very fast, and it is easy to gather and annihilate the battle, so it is said that full preparation before the battle is the guarantee of victory in the battle, and it is the premise of victory to calculate with heart and mind.

A confidential officer quickly pushed away the headquarters of the Northwest Field Army, holding a telegram in his hand and shouting: "Commanders, good news, it's the battle report of the Independent Brigade." ”

Several leaders in the headquarters turned around together, and Liu Jingfan, deputy commander of the field army, snatched the telegram and muttered: "Is it a telegram from the Independent Brigade, I have to take a good look at this." ”

Deputy Commander Liu's actions made Mr. Peng and several leaders laugh, and everyone knew what he meant, and it was his idea to use the independent brigade to deal with the cavalry of the Ma Jiajun, so Commander Liu was very concerned about whether the independent brigade fought well or badly.

Thank you all for your votes and thank you for your support. Li Yong and his independent brigade were about to deal with Hu Zongnan's old nest in Xi'an
