Chapter 229 Adjustment Deployment - Target - Xifu

After receiving Hu Zongnan's order, Pei Changhui's corps set out to support Luochuan in a very strange way, advancing forty miles during the day and returning another thirty miles at night, and the troops only advanced about five kilometers in one day.

The officers and soldiers were very strange, what is the commander doing here? Walking forty miles during the day, and then walking back thirty miles at night when it was dark, the whole army only walked ten miles on this day, which is what kind of way of walking.

Some officers who knew a little bit of the mystery said to each other in private: "Don't look at what our commander said in the meeting, what Luochuan's Brigade Commander Yang is the pillar and hero of the party-state, if you don't save it, you can't do it, and Luochuan's geographical location is extremely important, etc., in fact, the commander is sharper than us, and his heart and eyes are much more than ours, do you see it?" That's where the cleverness comes in.

Advance forty miles during the day, and retreat another thirty miles at night, this tactic is good, not only can you not meet the communist army, but you can also deal with Commander Hu Zongnan, Gao Ming, it is indeed Gao Ming, it is worthy of the old fritter of the eighth phase of Baoding, and it is really a bit of a strategy in the stomach. “

Another officer said, "What a strategy, if we do this, won't we sell Brigade Commander Yang in Luochuan?" Is this also called Taoluo? ”

"What doesn't sell, if you catch up, you're unlucky, who can take care of anyone these days? It's good to be able to keep yourself, but then again, this Luochuan and Yichuan are really different, Luochuan has too many reserve materials, if you can not lose it, how can it be enough for the 61st Brigade to toss for a few years. ”

"Hey, it depends on how long the 61st Brigade can stand, it is like an iron bucket surrounded by the communist army, it is difficult to come up with it, and it is really difficult for Yang Yinhuan."

In the blink of an eye, the Northwest Field Army had been besieging Luochuan for more than 20 days, but Luochuan had not been overcome, and the encirclement point had not been able to send reinforcements, indicating that according to the current method of fighting, it was no longer suitable for the problem of Luochuan and Pei Changhui, and on this day the commanders of the field army above the column were holding a meeting again.

Holding a dead branch in his hand, Mr. Peng pointed to the map on the wall and said to the commander who came to the meeting: "Let's see, a large triangle here is the area between the Jinghe River and the Wei River, which was formerly known as "Xifu", and the enemy's defense in this large area is relatively lax.

I think that at present, when our army is besieging the city and sending reinforcements, we can't hold on here, and it is a better choice to attack Xifu for the following reasons.

First, Hu Zongnan's troops in the Xifu area were weak, with only a few integrated brigades and the 2O3 Division of the Youth Army, which was convenient for our army to play.

Second, the Pei Changhui Corps didn't have time to come back to help, this Pei Changhui really had a long experience, we surrounded it for more than 20 days, and we didn't see a single soldier of this large corps, according to our intelligence, this Pei Changhui didn't take the rescue of Luochuan seriously at all, the speed of the troops' advance was only a pitiful few kilometers a day, and it was far away from us, it seems that Hu Zongnan's order did not have much effect on him.

Third, in this area, there is a contradiction between Ma Jiajun and Hu Zongnan's Kuomintang Central Army, and they are very strict against each other, and we must make full use of this contradiction to find a good opportunity to annihilate the enemy.

Fourth, we must leave a part of our forces to continue to contain the enemy at Luochuan and Peichang Huihui, and the main force must make great strides to the west, establish the Linyou Mountain and the mountain base area, and prepare for the future march into Gansu, and at the same time, we must also seize Baoji, threaten Hu Zongnan's strategic rear, and build his supply base, as long as we can mobilize the enemy, we can look for opportunities to destroy the enemy in the movement. ”

Before the meeting began, the leaders of the field army at the column level were all thinking about the question of how to act next, and some leaders felt that the more than a month of combat showed that there was no way out of besieging Luochuan again, and that it was better to directly attack Yan'an, which would further prick the nerves of the Kuomintang.

Some people think that there is nothing wrong with surrounding Luochuan, isn't Pei Changhui afraid to come, then let's surround him for another month to see if he comes.

Some have the same opinion as Mr. Peng, since the goals and plans formulated before the war have not been achieved in Luochuan, should they be improvised, and I will change the enemy, and it is a very good choice to attack Xifu.

Under Mr. Peng's explanation, the commanders who came to the meeting felt that the prospect of attacking Xifu was the most tempting, to seize Baoji, threaten Hu Zongnan's rear base, and mobilize the enemy, so that they could create Zào fighters and use our army's best sports field to annihilate the enemy.

There is another reason for the attack on Xifu, the large army of about 80,000 people, the daily consumption of food is an astonishing number, this is because of the wounded and prisoners are sent away, otherwise the food will be even more problematic, that's it, the food of the field army is also about to run out.

What to do? In the past, it was all relied on Mr. He Longhe to send people from Shanxi, but at that time there were only more than 20,000 field troops, and now it is no longer realistic to rely on Mr. He to transport grain.

How to solve it, attacking Baoji is a good choice, Baoji is an important station on the railway line to the sea, the strategic position is extremely important, it is also Hu Zongnan's logistics warehouse in the northwest, weapons, ammunition and food are piled up, which is insufficient materials, the soldiers often do not have enough to eat for the Northwest Field Army, the temptation is simply irresistible.

As long as the food in Baoji City is mentioned, whether it is the cadres and soldiers, even the senior commanders of the headquarters are just as itchy as the soldiers, and they can't solve the problem without food and anything, let alone fight any wars.

In contrast, a tough battle like the siege of Luochuan is its own shortcoming, and it is the best policy to fight a war, and to attack the enemy's shortcomings with its own strengths.

Political Commissar Xi's explanation to these column commanders and political commissars was: "The dog is in a hurry to jump over the wall, the people are in a hurry, the enemy in Luochuan wants to fight with us, we don't fight with him, we want to go to Baoji to eat fat."

However, it should be noted that the Xifu area is an enemy war zone, and the troops must emphasize discipline to the soldiers, because the common people there are different from the old liberated areas and do not know us well, so our troops should not only go to war, but also carry out mass work well.

It is very difficult to carry out long-distance attacks, to surprise the enemy, and to do a good job in mass work; after returning home, all commanders must fully arouse the enthusiasm of the soldiers, think of more methods, give more consideration to difficulties, and do a good job in making preparations. ”

Since the ideology is unified, the construction of the Western Mansion was passed guò.

The Northwest Field Army, with the second column of Wang Zhen's department, the fourth column's Zhang Dazhi and Wang Shitai's troops as the left route army, the first column of He Bingyan's department as the middle road, and the sixth column of Luo Yuanfa as the right road, a total of four columns, attacked and advanced to the Xifu area.

The troops who received the order immediately withdrew from their positions, leaving only Xu Guangda's troops of the third column to remain motionless and still contain the enemy in this area.

Li Yong's independent regiment has not had any tasks these days, and Commander Wang told them to rest and recuperate, and they are not needed yet.

In the battle at the fork in the mouth, the independent regiment suffered heavy casualties, and the commander did not say anything but felt uncomfortable, and originally had the intention to transfer their entire regiment to Yulin to rest for a period of time, where the conditions were better, but because Noji's tasks were one after another, this wish was not fulfilled.

Although the troops did not fight and the field army's campaign deployment was not realized, it gave the independent regiment a rare time to recuperate, not to mention the independent regiment, and other units have not had any tasks or activities for more than a month.

In the entire second column, the independent regiment was retained by Commander Wang as a reserve to use, so the other three main brigades of the column had to go to the ambush position every day to set up ambushes, and only the independent regiment remained near the column headquarters.

Because of the existence of the independent regiment, Commander Wang's mental strength is also a little more than that of other columns, and the other columns can only use two brigades at most to enter the position, and the remaining one brigade is used as a reserve, while the second column does not need it, and the personnel of the independent regiment are less than other brigade-level troops, but the combat effectiveness is not worse than theirs, which is also the reason why Commander Wang dares to use all three brigades at once.

During this period, Li Yong and the soldiers of the Independent Regiment were certainly not idle, and the big war was imminent, who could be idle? In addition to the normal training, Li Yong let Sanniu's repair company tinker with the car.

In the last battle, the Independent Regiment captured a large number of cars and supplies, especially Li Jiangguo's battalion, which brought back more than 100 large trucks alone.

In his words: "What kind of character is that of our regiment leader?" Light yì will not praise people, but as long as it is really praised, it means that this person has really made great contributions, for example, our first battalion, this is the case. ”

The veterans of the independent regiment all said that Li Jiangguo's face was thicker than the city walls of Luochuan, and the bullets and shells could not be dried thoroughly.

But no matter what, it is not wrong for Li Jiangguo and his soldiers of a battalion to make meritorious contributions, no, Li Yong doesn't care what the soldiers say about Li Jiangguo, let alone what Li Jiangguo himself says, there is no time.

Now Li Yong handed over all the work in the regiment to political commissar Wang Chengde and chief of staff Fang Xin, and he himself was stationed in Sanniu's repair company all day and night.

The regiment commander Li Yong and the company commander Sanniu and a dozen soldiers didn't know what they were doing all day long, anyway, they were tinkering with it and it seemed very mysterious, and if they were curious, they asked them what they were doing, and the soldiers of the repair company said proudly: "Military secrets, can you tell everything, you will know when the time comes." ”

After a few days of work, they really let them come up with an object, I heard that the regiment commander and Sanniu came up with something, and the cadres and soldiers all went to see it fresh, but this object feels familiar no matter how it looks, and then everyone understands it after a closer look, isn't this a car, how did it become this mother?
