Chapter 427: The Weak Division
The vanguard of the 18th Corps was the 61st Army, and the forward of the 61st Army was the 181st Division, and the 181st Division, under the leadership of the division commander Wang Chenghan, threw away the backpacks, threw away the extra clothes, and threw away all the qiฤ except for weapons, ammunition, and dry food.

The 181st Division is the unit of the North China Field Army, which has just been allocated to a field after the end of the Taiyuan Campaign, which is a unit built by Marshal Xu Xiangqian, but there is no discount at all when implementing the orders of Mr. Peng, which is also the difference between the PLA troops and the Kuomintang army, on the contrary, Hu Zongnan and the Erma coalition army, when the Kuomintang government has been about to collapse, are still suspicious of each other, tearing each other, such an army has an invincible reason, how can it be the opponent of the PLA.
After more than 10 days of arduous marching, the troops finally arrived at the Fenglingdu ferry on the north bank of the Yellow River before 6 June.
When they arrived at Fenglingdu, the soldiers could finally take a breath, and then immediately crossed the Yellow River and then transported directly to Xi'an by car.
Xi'an, Yiye headquarters, Mr. Peng saw Wang Chenghan, the commander of the 181st Division, who arrived in the dust, at this time Wang Cheng was sweating all over the mud, sweating, and a hole leaked out of the yellow rubber shoes on his feet, as a senior commander of the People's Liberation Army, especially the troops from North China, the equipment was much better than that of the Northwest Field Army, but the division commander Wang Chenghan's jeep had already been given to the wounded and sick who walked on crutches, and he, the division commander, ran over with both feet like the soldiers.
Cadres at the division level ran away with their feet like soldiers, and such a thing looked very ordinary, but did the Kuomintang army do such an ordinary thing? The answer is also very simple, they can't do it.
"Let's go, follow me to see the warriors." After speaking, Mr. Peng took the lead and walked out. Several leaders of the field army followed Mr. Peng and left, and the station of the 181st Division was not too far from the headquarters of the field army, and the group arrived not long after.
In fact, you don't need to look at everyone to imagine what it looks like, even the division commander is covered with dirt, covered with mud, and the soldiers can still be good there
Basically, every of the more than 10,000 people in the 181st Division is full of big bubbles, and the same is true for the division commander and political commissar.
The political workers of the 181st Division shouted while marching: "What is the point of blistering your feet, what is the point of pain?" Are the soldiers of the People's Liberation Army not even afraid of death and still afraid of pain? โ
More than 10,000 people, from the division commander and political commissar to every soldier, threw away everything they could except for guns, ammunition, and limited dry food.
Mr. Peng went to see the soldiers one by one, their hands, their faces, their bloodblistered feet, their bright eyes, and the guns they held tightly, while the soldiers puffed out their chests to accept the chief's observation.
"Comrades, I won't say anything about gratitude, I won't say anything about hard work, it's useless to say that, everyone hurry up and rest, eat well and sleep well, the situation is very serious, you may go to the battlefield at any time, you must be mentally prepared."
Wang Chenghan, a man like an iron fighter, stepped forward: "Chief, our 181st Division is here to fight, to defend Xi'an, not to rest, please give an order." โ
Mr. Peng laughed: "If you have momentum, you are all good soldiers, but now your task is to rest and carry it out." โ
However, can we really let the officers and men of the 181st Division rest for a few days, as Mr. Peng said? On June 13, the day after the 181st Division arrived in Xi'an, the 82nd Army of the Kuomintang, led by Ma Jiyuan, arrived near Xianyang, and the 190th Division, the advance guard force, immediately launched an attack on Xianyang.
In order to deal with the Kuomintang's multi-pronged attacks, several corps of the old army of Yiye were scattered out to circle with the enemy, and the only troops that could still be mobilized around Mr. Peng and the head of the Yiye headquarters were the 181st Division of the 61st Army, a tired division, which had just arrived.
That is to say, you have to use it, you have to use it if you don't use it, the head of the Yiye headquarters has no other choice, and the ruthless Mr. Peng once again came to the 181st Division to announce the order.
Mr. Peng's behavior shows that he, the commander of the field army, really does not want to use the very tired 181st Division, otherwise the commander of the field army would have to do it himself in order to announce an order.
"Comrades, after a long march of more than ten days, everyone is very tired, and you should have been allowed to rest for at least ten days, but now it can't be done, the enemy's forward troops have arrived near Xianyang, and we only have a small number of security troops in Xianyang, if you want to defend Xi'an, you must defend Xianyang, so I order you to go all out and defend Xianyang, and you are not allowed to retreat a step before the reinforcements arrive, can you do it?"
Xianyang, this thousand-year-old city was once again shrouded in the smoke of war, and the 181st Division, under the leadership of division commander Wang Chenghan, after a brief supplement, the whole division opened and rushed to Xianyang City as quickly as possible.
The situation faced by the 181st Division was strict, and the opponent they had to face was the 82nd Army of the Kuomintang Green Horse Army, and this 82nd Army was Ma Bufang's trump card, a reinforced force with four divisions, and the total strength was several times that of theirs.
In order to give full play to the firepower of the defending side, the 181st Division, in addition to leaving defensive troops on the city wall of Xianyang, also seized several positions outside the city as quickly as possible.
Division Commander Wang Chenghan's combat mobilization was very simple: "Comrades, this is the first time that our 181st Division, our 61st Army, and our 18th Corps have entered Shaanxi to fight, and the leaders of the Corps and the Field Army are all looking at us, and they are also watching us. โ
In fact, you don't need to mobilize everyone knows what's going on, Xianyang is only more than 20 kilometers away from Xi'an, such a distance is simply not a distance, as long as Xianyang is lost, the Ma Jiajun war horse with a large number of cavalry will arrive as soon as it is happy, and many leaders of the field army headquarters and the ** Northwest Bureau are in Xi'an, so Xianyang must defend to the death, there is no choice, the 181st Division has no way to retreat.
A small force suddenly slipped out of the ranks of the fortifications in full swing, and marched silently and quickly along the terrain of the ditches and ridges, saying that they had slipped out because the force was too small, as small as only twelve men.
What is such a small army out for? Of course, it was not to go out and wander around, this was an elite reconnaissance detachment of the 181st Division, and it was also carrying out the reconnaissance mission of their old profession.
Scouts, are all good and clever warriors, and they are also the warriors that the chiefs like, so this equipment is relatively good, each soldier is carrying an American-style submachine gun, and the bullets are also made casually, and you can take as much as you like, as long as you think you can carry it.
A young man in his twenties who led the team was in good spirits, this young man's name was Wang Qingshan, and he was a reconnaissance staff officer of the 181st Division.
With a shell gun and a satchel, it means that this is an officer in the PLA unit, and the reconnaissance staff officers of the division headquarters are all cadres regardless of whether they have a commander or not, and Wang Qingshan is the staff officer of the 181st Division, and it stands to reason that they are carrying out reconnaissance tasks, and these scouts are not the first time to go back to do it, and it is enough to have a squad leader to lead the team, so why let the senior staff officers of the division headquarters also come out, and the soldiers who are with Wang Qingshan are also very puzzled.
Some soldiers asked: "Staff Officer Wang, what is the big thing that you have to work for, our squad has done this kind of work a lot, what are you not worried about?" โ
Wang Qingshan pouted noncommittally: "You boys don't understand the importance of our division's task at all, the Ma Jiajun is not easy to deal with, and the Qingma Army is even more difficult to deal with, let's touch the situation a little more, the troops can suffer a little less losses, my military age is longer than yours, and I have more experience than you, and I can rest assured that I am the leader of the team, how many times have I told you this truth, why don't you understand?" โ
The scouts laughed: "Staff Officer Wang, even if what you said is right, but you can tell us, do you say that we are the elder of the company or you are the chief of staff?" People have said that staff officers don't have commanders, and they don't make a sound, but our company commander is also called a company commander. โ
The soldiers are thinking that they will be embarrassed for Wang Qingshan, because Wang Qingshan's tone just now is a little big, and he can rest assured that he is the leader of the team? You say this guy is not a cow.
Wang Qingshan's eyes rolled: "Hey, you boys are stupid and don't admit it, do you still need to ask such a simple question?" Of course, my staff officer is older, and my staff officer is not only older than your company, but even the battalion commander is not younger than them. โ

Soldier: "Counselor Wang, the cowhide is blowing up, hahaha." โ
"Don't believe it, the reason is very simple, let me ask you, how many regiments are there in our division?"
Warrior: "Is this still a problem?" Three regiments. โ
Wang Qingshan: "Yes, how many reconnaissance companies do we have in our division?" โ
"One for each regiment, counting the reconnaissance company of our division headquarters, there are four companies in total."
ใ
Wang Qingshan: "The answer is very correct, your company commander is only in charge of one company, and the battalion commander can only be in charge of three companies, but I, the reconnaissance staff officer, can manage the four reconnaissance companies of the whole division. โใ
