On the evening of returning to the station, Li Yong briefed everyone at a meeting of cadres above the platoon level about what he had recently learned and what he knew about the enemy's situation and our situation, that is, the battlefield situation at the present stage:

Longdong sub-district is located in the southwest of Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningbo border area, at the intersection of Shaanxi, Gansu and Ningxia provinces, a large river ring river runs through it, which is also the mother river of the people of Longdong, and this river nourishes countless heroes of Longdong sons and daughters.

The more densely populated places in the Longdong area are Huanxian, Quzi and Qingyang, and now the main forces of our field army are gathering near Huanxian, and our opponents, Ma Bufang and Ma Hongkui, the main forces of the Kuomintang in Qinghai and Ningxia, are also gathering in this area, preparing to fight a decisive battle with us for the Longdong area.

Although the enemy's troops in the Longdong area are smaller than ours, and the equipment is much worse than that of the Central Army, the enemy also has their advantage, that is, cavalry, the enemy's cavalry has about six regiments of troops, and is currently assembled in the Qingyang area, that is, the area where we are now.

The enemy's operational intention is obvious, that is, to harass and contain our main force from behind with superior cavalry, so that our main force has no worries and cannot let go of its hands to engage it.

Our army is mainly infantry, there is no cavalry, only some cavalry scouts, and it will be very difficult to deal with mobile and strong enemy cavalry units.

If our army also has a unit with strong mobility ability to firmly hold back the enemy's cavalry, it will have a great overall effect and create a strategic advantage for the main force of our field army, and at present our army has only one unit in the Qingyang area, and the best way to cooperate with the main force is to find a way to drag the enemy's cavalry, so that they have no way to attack and harass our main force.

If our company can hold back the enemy's six cavalry regiments, it will play a great auxiliary role in the upcoming Longdong campaign launched by our army. Do you dare to touch the enemy? Or can it achieve the goal of dragging the enemy's cavalry? There is a place to start anew, the enemy is now not six regiments but five regiments, and we have already eliminated one, now let's discuss it.

After listening to Li Yong's words, everyone's discussion was very intense, and the fierce place was not the question of whether to dare or not, but what to do, these people who came to the meeting were all veterans of a hundred battles who were absolutely loyal to our party and the army, and they were all ** members who rolled out of the sea of blood, and they were very open to personal life and death, to put it bluntly, no one was afraid of death.

The focus of the discussion was how to contain the enemy's cavalry to cooperate with the main force to fight, and the rough-voiced Ma Changsheng said: "We have to do it even if we have few people, even if we are all exhausted, we must drag the enemy's cavalry, they dare not confront our large army, but the damage to our communication lines will be too great, and the troops will have to eat no matter how capable they are, and how to fight this battle if the grain route is broken, no matter how difficult it is." ”

Li Jiangguo, the platoon leader, asked rhetorically: "What are you using to fight the enemy?" Even if we can't hold the enemy back, what if we can't hold the enemy back? The enemy still has five regiments in this area with at least 6,000 men, and we only have more than 400 men. ”

Li Yong was very pleased with Li Jiangguo's speech, and a mature commander should be like this; it is not enough to rely on enthusiasm alone, and it will not be able to achieve a general climate, so we must use our brains and think of more methods.

Ma Quanyou, the commander of the second platoon, said: "I don't think the enemy is too many, don't you see that last time we killed one of his regiments without being a family, and I didn't feel how powerful the enemy's cavalry was." ”

Wang Laohu, the leader of the fifth platoon, who had not spoken, smoked a dry tobacco pot and said: "All, you can't underestimate the enemy, there are many reasons for our last victory, the enemy is not grassy, and there is a price to pay for underestimating the enemy." ”

Instructor Wang Chengde saw that everyone was arguing endlessly, so he said: "Let's stop for a moment and see if the company commander has any way." ”

Everyone listens to it, listen to what our company commander says, who is our company commander, others can't help it, it doesn't mean that he can't do it, but you have to listen to the company commander's tricks.

Seeing that everyone stopped talking, Li Yong said: "The tiger was right just now, the enemy is not grassy, we even have a specific reason for the victory we achieved last time, and these reasons are not every battle can accompany us, I have summarized four points for this victory:

The first point is that we are in the dark, the enemy is in the light, we know the enemy and the enemy does not know us, we were caught off guard, and everyone has also seen that some of the enemy was killed by us without even taking off the armor of the light machine gun, which is called the enemy in the light and I am in the dark.

The second point is that we are fighting ambush warfare, ambush warfare is the strength of infantry and the weakness of cavalry, and we are using our own strengths to attack the enemy's shortcomings.

Thirdly, we have made full use of the advantages of the terrain, and if we are charged by the enemy's cavalry in the plains, can we still fight so easily?

Fourthly, we gave full play to the advantage of firepower, our firepower was much stronger than that of the enemy, and we knocked out almost a third of the enemy's forces in the first attack.

Only by taking into account the above points can we win this battle, and the absence of any of these points will bring us great trouble, so it is absolutely impossible to say that we must not have the idea of underestimating the enemy.

After listening to Li Yong's words, Wei Gang, the platoon commander of the machine gun platoon, continued: "Then what should I do?" We can't watch the enemy attack our main force and we watch the excitement from the sidelines, right? ”

Li Yong replied: "How can you see the excitement, according to the reconnaissance results of Zhang Jinsong and their platoon in the latest section, the enemy's cavalry has four regiments stationed in Qingyang County, and two regiments are outside the city, but we have eliminated one regiment, and now there is only one regiment left outside the city."

With the current strength of our company, of course, we cannot touch a large group of enemies, so the goal of our company in the next stage is how to clean up a regiment of the enemy outside the city.

If we want to contain the enemy, we must put pressure on them, and if there is no pressure at all, there will be no containment, so we must even take the initiative to attack, as Wei Gang said just now, of course it is not possible to watch the excitement.

According to the results of our reconnaissance, the enemy's regiment has a grain depot about 20 miles away from their station, and this grain depot is also the supply point of the enemy's regiment, and the enemy is defended by a company, which can be more than 90 li away from our current station.

My idea is to start from this grain station, and starting from the grain station does not mean that our goal is that the enemy looks at a company of the grain station, and if there are too few companies, we will not be able to enjoy eating and will not be able to achieve our goal, and our intention is still a regiment of the enemy.

My idea is that first of all, we must make a feint attack on the enemy at the grain station, that is, to surround but not fight, to attract the enemy's main regimental force to come to our aid, and we will start halfway, and only by transferring the enemy's main force from the stronghold can we destroy it with the least losses. ”

At this time, the reconnaissance platoon commander Zhang Jinsong asked: "Company commander, the enemy's main force is only about 20 miles away from this grain station, and 20 miles is too close for the cavalry. ”

Li Yong glanced at the reconnaissance platoon commander Zhang Jinsong, but he didn't expect this rough-looking soldier to have this heart, this is the result of using his brain, and it is also what a grassroots commander wants to do.

Li Yong replied: "Good question, this is also the key to this battle, although the enemy did not find our whereabouts in the last battle, but they should have a general understanding of the number of people in our company, they will think that the last defeat was because we took advantage of the terrain."

This time, the plains are suitable for cavalry, so the enemy will still come, and the key is how we can use this psychology of the enemy to destroy it in the plains.

The disadvantage of our company was its small number of men and its advantage was firepower, while the disadvantage of our company's previous lack of mobility had been improved by the large number of horses captured. ”

Li Yong said to Ning Jinshan, the commander of the fourth platoon: "Jinshan, what do you say the charging cavalry is most afraid of?" Ning Jinshan scratched his head and said, "I really don't know this." ”

Li Yong said to everyone: "It's very simple, although firepower is the key to destroying the enemy, but the charging cavalry is most afraid of the trench, don't underestimate the trench, the threat of the trench is very great for the cavalry."

What I mean is that our company will secretly dig a large hidden trench near the enemy's grain depot before the battle starts, and the enemy's cavalry will fight in the plains to their advantage, and we will change the unfavorable terrain into a favorable terrain for us.

Therefore, the depth of this ditch should not be less than three meters, and the width should be greater than eight meters to prevent the enemy's war horses from crossing it, as long as we dig this ditch well without the enemy's knowledge, half of the victory will be in hand, because the new soil dug up will have to be transported to a hidden place, so the workload will be very large, let's see what else to add. ”
