Chapter 305: The Battle of Xifu Returns Home

The independent regiment that returned to the vicinity of Baoji was busy preparing all kinds of materials and equipment, and the regiment commander Li Yong also constantly urged the soldiers to speed up, and all those who could be loaded were loaded first, and everything that was useful was taken away.

This made political commissar Wang Chengde and others very incomprehensible why Li Yong gave such an order, according to Commander Wang's words, the troops were about to enter a period of recuperation, why were they so nervous at this time.

Li Yong told him with a smile, it is not false to rest, but it also depends on where it is, Baoji has always been a national control area, according to the words of the People's Liberation Army, it is a white area, the people here are not clear about the style of the People's Liberation Army, so that they are afraid when they see the army, adults and children hide cats and cats when they see the troops, there is no family affection between the military and the people in the old liberated area, such an area is not suitable for the rest and training of large troops, so we still have to hurry up and prepare, so as to save the rush when the order of the higher authorities comes down.

Li Yong's explanation also made Wang Chengde and others understand this reason, the situation is really like this, what does the army rely on to fight, some say that it depends on firepower, some think it depends on scale and numbers, and some say that it depends on the correct command of the campaign and the tenacity of the soldiers, these are all correct, but the most important point is to rely on the support of the people, which is the most important, and it is precisely this that the Kuomintang army ignores.

When Hu Zongnan first attacked Yan'an (March 47), the Northwest Field Army, which had just been formed for a short time, gave him a dismount, and ate a Kuomintang brigade at Qinghuatou near Yan'an, and in order to fight this battle, more than 20,000 field troops were ambushed in the Qinghuatou area for more than three days (the field army was only more than 20,000 at that time).

In more than three days, more than 20,000 troops were not a small number, and the field army was seen by many ordinary people, but until the end of the battle, the Kuomintang reconnaissance units at all levels did not find any abnormal situation (including aerial reconnaissance).

As soon as the Kuomintang army entered the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningbo border region, they became blind and deaf, and not a single common man provided them with any useful information.

Mr. Peng has also said more than once that without the full support of the people in the border areas and the fathers and villagers in the liberated areas, the PLA would not have been able to achieve so many victories.

I don't know if Mr. Peng opposed the Great Leap Forward, opposed the so-called high yield (local officials reported to their superiors that the yield per mu was more than 10,000 catties), and whether it had a certain relationship with the current understanding.

As Li Yong expected, the next day the troops received the news that all the troops had been mobilized, and the prepared independent regiment rushed out in a hurry, with automobiles, artillery, mules and horses, and personnel, following the large force of the second column from the Majiashan area, which had been guarded, in a majestic manner.

Li Yong's decision made the soldiers admire it again, looking at the brother troops who were busy shouting, Li Jiangguo, who was sitting on his jeep with a big mouth, and the communicator next to him was still chattering: "What, it's so comfortable to fight with the regiment commander, you can think about everything, and even if the troops want to go back to the old liberated area, he can figure it out in advance, what do you say if our regiment commander is the enemy?" ”

The correspondent also replied with a smile: "Isn't that all your credit, no matter how powerful our regiment leader is, you also captured it, and it stands to reason that your credit is not small." ”

"Don't talk nonsense, what does this have to do with me? But think about it, my Lao Li is indeed very prescient, if you don't make a move, you will catch a regiment commander back, it seems that my Lao Li is also a very capable character. ”

Li Jiangguo's self-talk almost didn't make the people in the car laugh, and the correspondent coughed and said: "Battalion commander, don't feel so good, I'm complimenting you, you didn't even hear this?" Our regiment commander never admits that he was captured by you, our regiment commander said that he ran out of the Kuomintang army, and he came with you when he met you halfway, and the regiment commander's participation in our People's Liberation Army has little to do with you. ”

Li Jiangguo still insisted and said: "A few of you know a fart, it has nothing to do with me, even if the credit I brought back is not small, if I don't lead the way, the regiment commander is likely to go to other troops, can we still have an independent regiment like today?" ”

Although a few people in the car didn't quite believe in Li Jiangguo's divine blowing, they also thought that this guy still had some credit, and there was hard work without credit.

The four columns and directly subordinate units of the entire field army, plus a large number of prisoners, set off from the Baoji area and went straight to the old liberated area.

defeated the 82nd Division of the Ma Jiajun Army, crossed Pei Changhui's Fifth Corps, and the Northwest Field Army had no opponents in the Baoji area for the time being, which made Mr. Peng calmly command the troops to bring all the Kuomintang war materials in Baoji City.

Cars, carriages, and trolleys, as long as they are usable means of transport, there is only one principle, and these materials cannot be wasted, and the troops of the People's Liberation Army know too well the difficulties of having no food, no bullets, and no clothes to wear, and the so-called children of poor families have long been in charge, and the soldiers are reluctant to throw anything away.

The red-eyed independent regiment had a lot more cars than other troops, and the regiment commander Li Yong told all the soldiers to get out of the cars and walk to take the cars off to pull food and ammunition.

In this campaign, the independent regiment captured a large number of cars and jeeps, and the long convoy could not see the end at a glance, not counting jeeps, there were more than 200 large trucks alone, which was already a very terrifying number at that time. It's hard to figure out. ”

I can't say how powerful the independent regiment is, but it's really because there are too few people in the fraternal units who can drive cars, so few that many commanders don't know about cars, thinking that these things are useless, so they can only take the highway and drink gasoline all the time.

It's not that the commanders of the fraternal troops are not smart enough, but it has something to do with the fact that they have always fought guerrilla warfare in the ravines, and they have been fighting sports warfare and guerrilla warfare with the little devils and the Kuomintang in the ravines day and night, and asking for cars is purely a burden, not only is it useless, but it is also a burden, except for Li Yong, who has crossed over, who would have thought of what would happen a few years later, so basically all the cars thrown away by the Kuomintang Pei Changhui Corps in this campaign were brought back by the independent regiment.

Grand Master Li knows very well the road that the troops will take in the future development, the field army is gradually developing and growing, and it is impossible to always fight guerrilla warfare in the mountainous areas, and in the future, it will fight big cities, fight bigger battles, liberate more regions, liberate the entire northwest of the motherland, and go to Xinjiang, which is far, far away, and automobiles will be one of the indispensable means of transportation for a long time to come.

Nearly two months have passed after the Battle of Yichuan, and the wounded who recuperated in the Yulin area are estimated to be almost fine, and the prisoners trained in the rear, plus the newly captured in this campaign, the personnel of the entire Independent Regiment will be expanded to the maximum extent since the formation of the army, which puts forward higher requirements for the original transportation force, but fortunately, the Independent Regiment has captured a large number of cars and weapons in this campaign, and Li Yong's psychology is a little more relaxed.

Marching during the day and camping at night, the whole field army was filled with a joyful atmosphere, and the soldiers sang songs, some talked about Allegro, and some bragged about the mountains.

The soldiers are very young, the senior commander is only about thirty years old, it is the time of youth, the soldiers who used to march did not like to talk, because there was no food in the stomach, and it would be a waste of energy to talk more, but now it is good, the stomach is not only full but also a lot of oil and water, Mr. Peng ordered a large number of canned food to the troops, and the soldiers said excitedly that this is better than what they usually eat for the New Year.

From the Red Army and the Eighth Route Army to the current People's Liberation Army, what the soldiers are most afraid of is that there is no food and ammunition, as long as they have food and ammunition, they are not afraid of anything, no matter the great suffering and the enemy, they can only be a fart, and they will be trampled under the feet of the heroic soldiers.

After several days of continuous marching, on this day, the brigade of the Northwest Field Army finally returned to its old liberated area, the Malan area of the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningbo Border Region.

The Northwest Field Army, which had returned to the old liberated areas, immediately caused a sensation, and adults, children, women, and the elderly all went out together to welcome their sons and daughters and their relatives home.

Dates, eggs, pancakes, and all kinds of edible food stuffed the soldiers' pockets full, and the people in the border areas knew the difficulties of their troops, and they were afraid of starving the soldiers, because there were their brothers, sons, and husbands.

The soldiers told the people one after another, we are not short of food now, and we have conquered Baoji City, which is enough for our troops to eat for a long time.

Li Yong was completely moved, what is the clear water of the army and the people, this is it, with such an army and such people, can they not win the war? What difficulties can't be overcome? Long live the invincible Chinese People's Liberation Army.
