Chapter 314: Soldiers are coming to the city

After nearly two months of rest, the Northwest Field Army suddenly and silently moved out one night, and although it was impossible for the local people to know the whereabouts of the troops, because there were many soldiers, the people were very familiar with the habits and style of the troops, and they could guess from the behavior of the soldiers that the troops had a task.

Now that they knew that the troops had a mission, the local people all brought their dogs to the house that night to try not to cause trouble to the troops, and the masses were very simple in their belief that since ancient times, fighting wars had been "treacherous and treacherous" and that the more concealed the troops' actions, the better, and this was the advantage of resting and recuperating in the old liberated areas, and the masses and the troops cooperated very tacitly.

Resting during the day and marching at night, the troops arrived at a small town called Ganguyi, whose name could be easily judged as a post on the official road a long time ago.

Now the town has changed, and it has become unrecognizable compared to before, the doors and windows have been burned by the Kuomintang troops who are sweeping everywhere when they are cooking fires, and two large black holes are exposed, and the open spaces on both sides of the street are overgrown with half-man-high wild grass, and it looks very terrifying in the dark night.

At that time, the common people had a well-known saying, called "the army crosses the border like a tiger and wolf army, and the township is afraid of the chaff" is really true.

Li Yong, who was in a daze, woke up a little, and slept in the car for several hours, looking at this seemingly abandoned town, and asked Li Yuming next to him what kind of place this was.

Li Yuming, who was shocked by the dilapidated scene of the town, gritted his teeth and said: "I have arrived at Ganguyi, and there are still more than eighty miles away from Yan'an. ”

Among the old people of the Northwest Field Army, this small town called Ganguyi is not a big place but very famous, until the main force of the Red Army's Long March arrived in northern Shaanxi, it has become the only way for the whole country's democrats to come to Yan'an, cadres, soldiers, and progressive students have walked through this town, eaten and beaten, and sometimes stayed here for one night, so many people are very familiar with this small and small place.

There are still more than 80 miles of road from Yan'an, which is very close now, but when the means of transportation were very scarce at that time, it was not close to walking 80 miles completely (even in the army, only cadres above the battalion level had horses to ride, and the people basically did not go out on horseback).

More than a year ago (March 47), the Northwest Field Army withdrew from here and abandoned Yan'an, and it was also this small town that it left.

Just when Li Yuming was introducing to Li Yong how good and beautiful this town was and how kind the people were, the car of political commissar Wang Chengde also arrived, and according to Li Yong's request, several military commanders in the regiment should not be in a car, and Wang Chengde's car opened a distance from Li Yong.

Wang Chengde also looked at this town with emotion, and casually said something that surprised Li Yong: "Our troops withdrew from this place more than a year ago, and at that time I met some leaders of the ** and the Central Committee here. ”

Li Yong's eyes widened and asked, "What?" Lao Wang, have you seen this guy before**? ”

Li Yong has been in the northwest for more than a year, and he has met many senior leaders of the field army, but he has never met the head of the central government.

Wang Chengde replied a little disapprenanently: "What's the big deal about this, we have seen more leaders in the army and the Central Committee, the Ninth Detachment (the code name of the team directly under the Central Committee, the commander is Ren Bishi, because the current situation has changed a lot compared with more than a year, Wang Chengde dared to say it directly) sometimes marched with us, and on the day we withdrew from Yan'an, many people in our old 2nd regiment talked to us." ”

There are more than 7,000 people in the independent regiment, but it is a newly formed army, and there are only about 100 soldiers from the old Eighth Road like Wang Chengde (more than 20 people from the old 2nd Regiment plus 100 soldiers who will come back from the field army headquarters, these people are all really from the old Eighth Road, nothing else, and later some casualties were killed and injured in the battle, and now there are only 100 people left), listening to Wang Chengde say this, many soldiers are very curious, especially some new soldiers, Li Yong also hurriedly asked: "** What did I tell you? Tell us about it too. ”

Wang Chengde: "When we withdrew from Yan'an, we didn't understand, and we thought, where is Yan'an? It is the place where the Party Central Committee and ** live, and we can't let the enemy occupy anything, even if we fight all the troops, we must protect our Yan'an. But we don't approve, he said that we have an old saying in China that is very good, "stay in the green mountains are not afraid of no firewood" We took the initiative to withdraw from Yan'an is to keep the green mountains, if we fight hard with Hu Zongnan, the troops are all gone, where will the firewood come from?

** He also said that he would send us sixteen words: "Save people and lose land, people and land are saved, save land and lose people, people and land are lost." "Let's talk again, don't look at the number of people in Hu Zongnan now, let's circle with him in the mountains of northern Shaanxi, everyone has pushed the mill and pulled the mill with the villagers in northern Shaanxi, right?

The villagers put the millet collected from the field in the mill and grinded it, and slowly the millet turned into millet, and we just wanted to use this method to involve Hu Zongnan's troops in the mountains of northern Shaanxi, grind and grind, grind and grind, and it would be delicious to grind them into millet. ”

Wang Chengde's call made everyone boil all of a sudden, and the soldiers quietly muttered: We are amazing, and we knew the enemy's fate more than a year ago.

Li Yong's psychology is also constantly churning, isn't it the same for more than a year, the Northwest Field Army took Hu Zongnan's large army in the big ravine to keep turning and grinding, and finally dragged the fat into thin ones, and dragged the thin ones to death, and later Hu Zongnan was able to mobilize all the mobile troops that the field army was almost cleaned up, and the Northwest Field Army also increased from more than 20,000 people to more than 100,000 people, and the weapons and equipment have undergone earth-shaking changes.

However, this qiē was not obtained out of thin air, for the sake of today's situation, all the commanders and fighters of the field army have paid a huge price, bloodshed and sacrificed, suffered from cold and cold, starved and drenched in rain, and all the hardships and hardships that people can imagine have tasted, and the more than 20,000 people who were originally formed have not even reached 10,000 now, and many of these soldiers who have not even left their names have been buried in the deep mountains and ravines of northern Shaanxi.

The news that the main force of the Northwest Field Army appeared in the Ganguyi area spread like a gust of wind to every corner of Yan'an, and the defenders of Yan'an were panicked, as if a catastrophe was imminent, especially some officers with their families, who lived like a year.

The movement of the large army should be as concealed as possible, but when it comes to the ground, there is no longer any need to conceal, and more than 100,000 troops pounce on it, you know, what can you do? Suo Xing of the Northwest Field Army raised its banner and surrounded Yan'an from all sides.

At this time, He Wending, the supreme commander of the Yan'an garrison, was really panicked, the main force of the communist army had already arrived at Ganguyi, which was only eighty miles away from Yan'an, and this news was confirmed to be true, and it was not possible to have any unrealistic illusions.

The commander was stationed in the headquarters, and urgent telegrams were sent one after another to his old classmate Hu Mansion in Xi'an, "The main force of the communist army appears near Yan'an, and the main force of the communist army appears near Yan'an, asking for support, asking for support." ”

Xi'an, Hu Zongnan's official residence, the northwest king of the Kuomintang was angry with a telegram from Yan'an: "**, this timid He Wending, the communist army asked for support when it was still eighty miles away, and he was scared like this before the battle was fought, what kind of party-state general is this." ”

Don't look at Hu Zongnan's scolding, that's just Hu Zongnan, others don't have the guts, no matter what, they are classmates, who knows if there is any friendship behind the two.

Sheng Wen, the chief of staff beside him, asked cautiously: "Commander, do you see if we can take any action to show Division Commander He." ”

Hu Zongnan: "How do you say it?" The existing mobile troops are far away from Yan'an, and they can't quench their thirst from far away, and I have no troops to support them now. ”

Sheng Wen, a guy who had been by Hu Zongnan's side for a long time, opened his mouth and swallowed back a few words he wanted to say.

This guy thought to himself, even if it is close, the generals of the ** are frightened by the tactics of the communist army to encircle and send reinforcements, and no one dares to go if there are soldiers nearby.

However, Yan'an's political status is too sensitive, and if Yan'an is captured by the communist army, it means that the principal's key attack has suffered another complete failure, and his life as the king of the northwest will not be better.

Hu Zongnan, who thought about the past, finally made a bold decision, he personally went to Yan'an to cheer up the defenders of Yan'an, what can the communist army do when it arrives near Yan'an, the main force of the communist army in the northwest is only more than 100,000 people, and the defenders of Yan'an have 40,000 people, as long as the battle is fought well, it can inflict heavy damage on the communist army.

Stopping the persuasion of Sheng Wen and others, Hu Zongnan, a Kuomintang general who commanded troops to fight with the People's Liberation Army thousands of kilometers away from the front line, made a twin-engine military transport plane, and left the ground like a hero under the gaze of everyone and flew in the direction of Yan'an.

For Hu Zongnan, the earthen city of Yan'an is very important, it is because he fully captured Yan'an, so that he became famous as the king of the northwest, the battle report at that time was written like this: "After seven days and nights of hard fighting, the hero's ** troops occupied Yan'an on the morning of the 19th, killing and capturing more than 50,000 enemies, and capturing countless weapons and ammunition, and the detailed results are being further counted."

At that time, there were only more than 22,000 people in the Northwest Field Army, and I don't know how the top leaders of the Kuomintang in the border areas of the military command and the Central Command spies believed his nonsense.
