The beacon of youth

On Ernan Mountain, a battalion of the Second Regiment and a column of Commander He Weigang were reinforced. After continuous hard fighting, ammunition was almost exhausted, and more than half of the personnel were killed or injured. The Kuomintang soldiers climbing to the top of the mountain had approached less than 100 meters away. At the distance, the soldiers who had run out of bullets drew out their bayonets and pressed them on their rifles under the command of the commander.

At the critical juncture, an infantry battalion led by Commander Zhao arrived in time. The soldiers of our army standing firm on the mountain saw the reinforcements arrive, and their morale was greatly shaken. They jumped out of the trench shouting and rushed towards the enemy with bayonets in their hands.

The KMT's attacking troops have already rushed halfway up the mountain, less than 100 meters away from the top of the mountain. The soldiers on the mountain have almost the same ammunition, and the firepower is sparse. The KMT soldiers who are rushing up seem to see hope. Howling and climbing up.

Seeing that he was about to reach the top of the mountain, he was hit again by the sudden burst of firepower from the second regiment's reinforcements.People turned on their backs, seeing our army's reinforcements arrived, their confidence in attacking the top of the mountain was lost, and they retreated down the mountain like a splash of water.

Commander Zhao is an old Red Army veteran who has gone through the Long March. Regardless of his young age, he is already a seasoned commander with rich experience in combat command. Looking at this scene, he knows that this is an excellent opportunity to countercharge. At this time, launching a counter-charge is to chase after the retreating enemy, which will not only cause casualties but also expand the results of the battle.

Immediately ordered the trumpeter to blow the charge horn, and with the sound of the bugle on the top of the mountain, the soldiers first smashed down a row of grenades, and then rushed down the mountain roaring, shooting at the retreating enemy with their weapons .

During the retreat, the Kuomintang soldiers let their backs out, where they could still generate fighting strength. Those who ran slower kept being beaten to the ground, and those who ran slower were stabbed with bayonets by soldiers from the second regiment chasing up from behind. Suddenly, the heart was cold, and the fleeing enemy soldiers panicked even more, as if their parents had lost two legs and fled down the mountain rolling and crawling.

This guy drove the enemy from the top of the mountain to the bottom of the mountain. Commander Zhao immediately ordered the soldiers not to chase after seeing that it was almost done. There are too few soldiers in our army, and chasing them will easily reveal their strength. There are only a few hundred people in a battalion, but the main force still hasn't arrived, so we will accept it when we see it.

He Cuihua and his 40 people rushed down together with the troops when they heard the charge horn. There were no women and men on the battlefield. Soldiers had to obey orders. When the charge horn sounded, they had to attack. There were more than 40 of them. All of them are submachine guns with automatic firepower, and they keep firing while chasing. The feeling of chasing from behind is exciting and enjoyable.

Commander Zhao, an old soldier from the Red Army, also rushed down with everyone, and saw He Cuihua and dozens of his soldiers on the way, only to see that girl He Cuihua kept shooting with the submachine gun in her hand, and kept shouting loudly. Shout out, Commander Zhao also finds it a bit funny, it's a bit incomprehensible for you to say that a girl is so belligerent, but to be honest, this girl is indeed a good soldier, she is good at both fighting and leading soldiers.

He Cuihua didn't care whether the regiment leader understood it or not. Seeing that the regiment leader Zhao ordered not to chase, she directed her more than 40 people to retreat along the mountain road, and from time to time they resisted the weapons and ammunition thrown by the enemy.

In an enemy headquarters not too far from our army's position in Southeast Mountain, an officer was reporting to Liu Kan: "Report to the military seat, the reinforcements of the Communist Army on Southeast Mountain have arrived, and it is too difficult for our army to attack the top of the mountain. Both attacks were repulsed with heavy casualties."

Liu Kan: "It's really a slanted door. Why is the communist army fighting more and more? Where did the reinforcements come from?"

Enemy officer: "Report to the military seat, according to our intelligence, the troops on the southeast mountain are the main second column of the communist army."

Liu Kan: "The second column is Wang Zhen's army. This is the old capital of the Communist Army. It is the most capable army in the Northwest Communist Army. It fought against the 36th Division and Yulin. This second column is the main force of the Communist Army. He also worked hard. This time, what did Peng Dehuai transfer the second column to the southeast mountain position? Was he trying to encircle us all? The communist army’s appetite is getting bigger and bigger. A year ago they could eat up one of our brigades. It's a big victory, and now you want to swallow my seven main divisions in one gulp? Hmph."

Enemy officer: "Sir, according to our intelligence, the number of troops besieged by the communist army is still increasing. This is a very strange phenomenon. We know the total strength of the communist army in the Northwest. In Yichuan, there are still more troops." To deal with the 24th Brigade of our army, where does the Communist Army come from?"

Liu Kan, who was circling around in the headquarters, turned around abruptly: "Good question, where did the reinforcements of the communist army come from? It seems that I understand a little bit. All the troops were mobilized. "

Enemy officer: "Junzuo, do you mean that the communist forces besieging Yichuan are empty?"

Liu Kan: "It's not empty or empty. It is very likely that the Communist Army put all its main force on us, and Yichuan only left

Three or two training troops, immediately send a telegram to Zhang Hanchu, who is "bone", asking them to attack 24 times, and cooperate with our army to attack the communist army front and back."

Enemy officer: "Sir, this man in the early Han Dynasty was a man who peed his pants when he heard the cannon fire. He became the commander of the brigade because of the relationship between Commander Hu and Chang'an. I don't think it's enough to expect him to lead the troops to attack."

Liu Kan: "Hmph, it is the sorrow of the party and the country that such a person can be an official. Tell him by telegram that the main force of the Communist army is with us. If we lose, the Communist army will deal with him and let him fight back. If you want to understand the seriousness of the relationship, let's deal with the Communist army with us now. As long as he can come out of Yichuan City, he has made great contributions to the party and the country. If he can't shrink back, we will break out and return to Yan'an. Toss with the communist army."

At the Northwest Field Army Headquarters of our army, an officer said to Boss Peng: "Boss, the two brigades that besieged Yichuan at the beginning have already transferred one back. Now we only have one brigade outside Yichuan. If we bring back two regiments, only one brigade will be left." The next regiment is coming. This regiment has already suffered a lot of casualties in the previous attack on "Yi". Now there are only more than 600 people who can persist in fighting. This is still counting the number of lightly wounded. If Yi What should the 24th Brigade of the Kuomintang in Sichuan see our flaws?Can our regiment stop the attack of the 24th Brigade of the Kuomintang?If the 24th Brigade came rushing to attack from behind our ass things would be tricky. "

Boss Peng: "That has to be adjusted. Tell their regiment commanders that as long as there is one person alive, they must block the enemy in Yichuan. Otherwise, the military law will not be merciful. Let the remaining two regiments of their brigade march to Wazi Street and immediately go into battle. .”

Another chief suggested: "Boss, can you also transfer the independent regiment of the Second Column?" They haven't participated in the battle since the start of the battle. Now is the time when the enemy is fighting against us. Combat strength, as long as the independent regiment comes up and comes up suddenly, it will definitely have a great effect

Boss Peng: "No, before it's time to mobilize them, order the troops to attack across the board. Each, column, and brigade should not leave a reserve team, and don't leave any backup forces. Put all your strength into it. Commanders at all levels Command from the front, the column goes down to the brigade, the brigade goes down to the regiment, the regiment goes down to the battalion, and the battalion goes down to the company. All the service, security, and communication personnel in the command organs at all levels should also be organized into combat units. Personally lead the team to carry out a desperate attack on the enemy.

After the order of the wild division was issued, our army's attack on the enemy was greatly strengthened. The soldiers repeatedly attacked the enemy's positions regardless of fatigue and casualties. In the fierce battle, the enemy was gradually compressed to a place closer and closer to the core position.

At this time, the Kuomintang Corps command organization was in chaos like a group of ants. Liu Qin ordered the communications personnel to notify the 24th Brigade of the Kuomintang in Yichuan, asking them to go out of the city to fight immediately and launch an attack to reduce the pressure on the Corps.

In the brigade headquarters of the 24th Brigade in Yichuan City, brigade commander Zhang Hanchu was discussing with a lot of his subordinates what to do.

Zhang Hanchu: "Brothers, Liu Kan was surrounded by the communist army on Wazi Street. Now we are ordered to go out of the city to fight and launch an active attack on the communist army to cooperate with them. Tell us what we should do?"

Officer A: "Brigade Commander, our brigade has a total of more than 6000 people. After being surrounded and beaten by the Communist Army for two days, now there are only more than 4000 people. How can such a small number of people cooperate with them? I can hold on to it for a while, but if I go out, I think it will be like a meat bun beating a dog, and there will be no return."

Officer B: "What Liu Qin said in the telegram is not unreasonable. Once they are defeated and the Communist Army is free, we have only two options."

Zhang Hanchu: "What time is it? Please explain clearly, what are the two roads?"

Officer B: "It's very simple, one is to be eliminated, and the other is to be captured."

After listening to the officer's explanation, no one in the headquarters made a sound for a long time.This Zhang Hanchu anxiously drew a circle on the ground: "You guys are just talking, where is the energy to gossip at ordinary times? The eggplant is deflated at the critical moment? What's the use of talking about you?"

The officer said again: "Brigadier, let me see that we are not two roads now, but only one road." Zhang Hanchu: "Say it, what road?" "

Officer C: "Put all your eggs in one basket and go all out to fight the communist army. If it is true that the communist army has transferred all its troops to deal with him as Liu Kan's telegram said, it means that the communist army outside our Yichuan city There are not many people, and this can also be seen from the sudden stop of the Communist army’s attack on us. If we can really rush out from Yi” and attack the Communist army from behind, maybe we will really make a great contribution up
