Chapter 337 Fight Again for the Thirty-Sixth Division II

At the pre-war meeting held by the Second Column, Li Yong, on behalf of more than 9,000 cadres and soldiers of the Independent Brigade, told Commander Wang that he would resolutely complete the tasks assigned by the Party Committee of the Column, eliminate the New 28th Brigade, the main force of the 36th Division of the Kuomintang, at any cost, and take Huti Mountain.

Commander Wang nodded, then pointed to the location of Huti Mountain on the map and said: "Do your best to meet the enemy, make all preparations, when to start the attack is up to you, I let the Fifth Brigade and the Sixth Brigade act in unison according to the attack time of your independent brigade, that is to say, the time of your brigade's attack is the total attack time of the whole column, but the task must be completed before evening, the time given to us by Noji is one and a half days, and our column is required to end the battle within a day and a half, otherwise the battle plan will be canceled, that is, The rest of the columns can only buy us a day and a half, and the time I give your brigade is one day, and if your attack does not go well, you will withdraw and the fourth brigade will organize a surprise attack. ”

Commander Wang's words are also with a certain effect, handing over the most important task to your independent brigade, and if you don't fight well, it's your own business, don't blame me for withdrawing troops from the battlefield when the time comes.

It is very taboo to withdraw troops in battle, if you are replaced, it means that your unit does not let the superiors trust you, such an impact on a unit is huge, there is no period of time, it is not slow to fight a few good battles, Commander Wang don't look at the usual giggling and laughing, but when dealing with the problem, he will never be soft, and he will not be merciful when he treated the Fifth Brigade last time.

The Fifth Brigade was an old unit brought out by Commander Wang, and the brigade commander Guo Peng and the first commander were Commander Wang's old subordinates for many years, but their attack was frustrated, and Commander Wang immediately transferred the independent regiment to attack in their place.

The Northwest Field Army also took a great risk at this time to annihilate the 36th Division, the 36th Division was not a lone army, and it was not easy to eat it among the many Kuomintang troops, but fortunately, the 36th Division was eager to make meritorious contributions, or the division commander Zhong Song wanted to prove that he was earnest, so the 36th Division was slightly ahead of other Kuomintang troops.

In this way, the 36th Division's approach has left an opportunity for Mr. Peng and other senior commanders of the Northwest Field Army. Don't you want to express more xiàn? Okay, let's take advantage of your mentality, look for a fighter, and seize the opportunity to eat him, which is called shooting a bird in the head.

The surroundings of Huti Mountain are a plain, the slope is steep, the mountain is high and the grass and trees are sparse, the big ditches and ditches formed by the impact of the rain are intertwined with each other, the 28th Brigade is under the supervision of the division commander Zhong Song, and a large number of field fortifications are built on the steep slopes, the Ming Diao Hidden Fort and various firepower points are everywhere, there is a big temple on the top of the mountain that is all made of stones, the scale is not large but it is very strong, no one has considered what kind of gods and goddesses, this big temple has been strengthened by the division headquarters of the 36th Division and the brigade headquarters of the 28th Brigade and changed into a temporary field command post.

Although the 36th Division is a newly formed unit, it is also the regular army of the Kuomintang, and the regular army of the Kuomintang is not useless in fighting, and it is too far from the Eighth Route Army to fight a movement war, but it is a very set of methods in the organization of defense, and each unit has an independent engineering army, so their various fortifications are very well repaired (the army has its own traditions, and the defensive warfare of the Kuomintang army is very home, such as the 60th Army of the Kuomintang in the long uprising, which was later changed to the 50th Army of the People's Liberation Army, When confronting the U.S. military in the Korean theater, he was known for being good at fighting defensive warfare).

Relying on this lonely mountain, division commander Zhong Song placed the main force and division headquarters on the mountain, and placed the 165th Brigade and the 123rd Brigade slightly behind on both sides of the mountain, thus forming a defensive position with Huti Mountain as the tip of the knife and the three brigades relying on each other.

However, at this time, the division commander Zhong Song did not feel the pressure of the Northwest Field Army, but this guy suffered a big loss when fighting the PLA, so he acted cautiously.

Huti Mountain, the big temple on the top of the mountain, the command post of the 36th Division and the 28th Brigade of the Kuomintang, the division commander Zhong Song is constantly guessing the intentions of the PLA, this guy has always held a grudge against the PLA since he almost lost his life in the Battle of Shajiadian, and he always wants to find an opportunity to get his face back.

Now I can't stop looking at the map, and I still naturally muttered to myself: "What do you mean by the communist army?" Don't want a decisive battle with our army? Or do you not dare to fight a decisive battle with our army? The tactics of the communist army are to always use units of troops to be fooled by our army, and to set up ambushes with the main force to fight a battle of encirclement and annihilation, but what use can such a method of warfare be for a unit like ours that has set up a defensive position? Why hasn't the communist army done anything until now? Is my feeling wrong? ”

An officer not far away followed Zhong Song's words and said, "Division, isn't our division attacking too fast?" The friendly troops on the left and right have not been able to keep up in time, and according to the analysis of the inferior position, we are in danger of being divided and surrounded by the communist army. ”

Zhong Song: "The heart is a good thing, but don't be too scared and cower to delay the fighter, you are too worried, according to my experience in dealing with the communist army for many years, the communist army has always been cautious in combat, and it will not shoot without perfect certainty, although our army is in a higher position, but it can rely on this mountain, backed by the large army of friendly forces, the communist army has no chance to attack us." ”

Zhong Song is the highest commander of this unit, and he said that if there is no problem, there will definitely be no problem, but there are also several officers who discuss together: "There is no problem, why do you still make this mountain a defensive position, and if you have the ability, you will bump into the communist army." ”

The other immediately took over and said: "Don't make a mistake, what good is it for us to fight to the death with the communist army, we must say less or no angry words in the future." ”

After accepting the task, Li Yong took a group of commanders to check the terrain, this Huti Mountain is different from the Panlong Town that the Independent Brigade attacked before and the Laoshan Mountain that was attacked recently, why is it different? In the past, the mountain positions attacked by the Independent Brigade were all connected by mountains, and a lonely mountain like this protruding from the plain had never been dealt with, and in addition, the previous battles were fought at night, which also gave the troops certain conditions for creating various tactics.

But now it's different, this is a mountain that is not too high, but it is still very conspicuous, and the field of vision around it is also very wide, and the battle is to be carried out in the daytime, and the independent brigade has no chance to sneak attack and take advantage of it, that is to say, if you want to take the Huti Mountain position, there is only one way to attack.

The pre-war meeting of the Independent Brigade was held behind a hidden mountain not too far from Huti Mountain, Li Yong pointed to Huti Mountain and said to the commanders: "Everyone has seen the situation, there are no tricky tactics to arrange, and it is impossible to climb up from the back mountain to give the enemy a surprise attack, but there are no conditions for fighting, and the time for the column to give our brigade is to take it within one day, and we must solve the enemy within one day." ”

Li Yong, who paused slightly, raised his voice and said word by word: "The column ordered our brigade to end the battle before dusk, my idea is to storm Huti Mountain and have dinner at the top of the mountain at noon, do the comrades have confidence?" ”

The military commander is the soul of a unit, and the brigade commander Li Yong is the soul of the independent brigade, which no one can replace, nor can the political commissar Wang Chengde, and the confidence of the troops has something to do with the soul of this unit in a large way.

Li Jiangguo, the commander of the first battalion, got up and said: "What is the regular army of the Kuomintang, this 36th division was rebuilt after we were defeated in the Battle of Shajiadian, since we have encountered it, we will eat it again, this time we don't even give him the bones left, even drink all the soup and water." ”

Ning Jinshan, the commander of the fourth battalion, who is more quiet, has always been not very talkative on this occasion, and this time he also said: "The current 36th Division is far worse than before, and the weapons and equipment and soldiers are not as good as the old troops before, and the combat effectiveness of our troops is much stronger than that of more than a year ago, we were able to eliminate it a year ago, and now we can eliminate it even more, and our fourth battalion has asked the brigade party committee to serve as a sharp knife commando." ”

As soon as Ning Jinshan, the commander of the fourth battalion, finished speaking, the scene was a bit of a cliché, Ning Jinshan's xìngzi didn't grab tasks with others, even this guy had to reach out, can others not be in a hurry?

In the independent brigade, there are five infantry battalions and one reconnaissance battalion that can be qualified to serve as commandos, and the artillery battalion, machine gun battalion, and baggage battalion are not able to achieve this kind of task.

The two of them also stood up all of a sudden, and the commander of the third battalion, Ma Changsheng, shouted with a red face: "No, why let your four battalions be commandos, our three battalions are the best at doing this kind of work, your four battalion fighters have good marksmanship, just be responsible for covering behind us." ”

The third battalion commander Ma Changsheng is the most powerful bayonet in the independent brigade, so the soldiers of the third battalion also like to fight close combat, and like to mix with the enemy and fight together, which is their strong point, and the fourth battalion commander Ning Jinshan has the best marksmanship, so the soldiers of their fourth battalion are very accurate, which is also a reason why the third battalion commander Ma Changsheng said that the fourth battalion will cover behind.

He Cuihua, who stood up with Ma Changsheng, thought about it, sat down again without saying anything, she forgot, and thought that she was the acting battalion commander of the fifth battalion, and only remembered after standing up that Wang Laohu, the commander of the fifth battalion, had returned, and he was now the deputy commander of the baggage battalion, and he stood up to grab an egg, and the brigade commander and political commissar would not hand over the task of the commando to the baggage battalion no matter how foolish they were, hey, it was better to be the battalion commander in the infantry battalion.
