The beacon of youth

At the pre-war preparation meeting of the Northwest Field Army, Boss Peng planned to mobilize another mobile corps of the Kuomintang on the Northwest battlefield, that is, the Peichanghui Corps, to use the mobile warfare that the field army is best at. it.

As long as one of Hu Zongnan's mobile corps can be eaten, the situation on the northwest battlefield can be changed immediately, and our army can change from passive to completely active.

A commander stood up and objected to Mr. Peng. He believed that it would be very difficult for a veteran general of the Kuomintang to be fooled by Pei Changhui, a graduate of the eighth batch of the infantry preparatory course of the Baoding Army School.

Mr. Peng: "If he doesn't fall for it, we'll let him fall for it. Luochuan is Hu Zongnan's lifeblood. We'll grab it and pinch him until he can't breathe. Let Hu Zongnan order Pei Changhui to come to support him, no matter what he has. How cunning, you won’t give Commander Hu face, will you?”

After the commander sat down, he stood up one by one and said, "Mr. Peng, even if according to what you said, Hu Zongnan would order Pei Changhui to come to help, but what if this guy disobeyed his orders? This Pei Changhui is different from Liu Kan and Yan Ming, let alone Hu Zongnan, even Chiang Kai-shek wants to sell him some face. Hu Zongnan's orders may not be very effective for him, and they may not be as active in execution as Liu Kan. The examples of Yichuan and Liu Kan are all here, and the enemy is also very aggressive. Familiar with the usual methods of our army."

The Baoding Military Academy, located in Hebei, has a very special position in the history of the Chinese army. Although it is not as famous as the Whampoa Military Academy, compared with it, the Whampoa Military Academy is a junior and a latecomer. Many instructors of the Whampoa Military Academy have Baoding Military Academy. background.

Therefore, the qualifications of the graduates of Baoding Military Academy in the Kuomintang are very old. This is the case with Pei Changhui.

This is especially true for the early graduates. For example, the Whampoa Military Academy is very famous and has produced many capable people. There are both the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, but the most famous, or the most capable are mostly in the front. Six issues. (Not to mention the Kuomintang, Chen Geng, Xu Xiangqian, Zuo Quan, Lin Biao, Xu Guangda, Zhang Zongxun, Song Shilun, Liu Zhidan, etc. in the Communist Party)

Mr. Peng: "What you said is not unreasonable. If Pei Changhui really dare not come, it is not impossible. We will really attack Luochuan, turn a feint into a strong attack, and take down this supply base. The weather is getting warmer. Our soldiers It’s time for us to change our clothes in different seasons, and there’s another point, we don’t have much food.”[

In short, what we have to do is to attack Luochuan, the supply base of the Kuomintang, to attract the enemy's support, destroy the enemy's support corps, and destroy his vital forces. If the enemy does not come to support, we will storm Luochuan and cut off Hu Zongnan's lifeline. How about replenishing supplies for the troops? As long as Luochuan succeeds, we can press hard, regain Yan'an, and attack Guanzhong.

Boss Peng spoke faster and faster: "What do you think? Is there anything else that needs to be added?"

Seeing that Boss Peng had already made up his mind, the heads of these various columns and wild divisions also unified their opinions, and turned to study the specific steps and details together.

After the pre-war meeting of the field division, the commanders and political commissars of each column immediately returned to their respective units to convey the spirit of the superior meeting and discuss the operational deployment.

After Commander Wang of the second column returned to the column, before his butt was hot, he was notified of the cadres above the regiment of each unit to come to the column headquarters for a meeting.

After the meeting before the launch of the Yichuan Campaign, the column command is lively again, but this time the brigade chief officer is obviously different from the last time. Last time, there were people driving and riding horses. This time It is an all-American jeep.

Watching the jeeps coming one after another, Commander Wang couldn't help but said to a chief beside him: "No wonder Boss Peng and Political Commissar Xi saw that we were all driving new cars and wanted one. What's going on? Now I feel that way too."

The chief next to him smiled: "Okay, Hu Zi, don't mess around, the cars of our headquarters are in good condition, much better than Boss Peng's cars, and the brigade commanders and regiment leaders below have cars." It’s also a good thing, taking a car can save energy, so that these guys can do more business and use their brains more.”

The commanders at all levels who met each other fought with each other. Li Yong, Wang Chengde, and Chief of Staff Fang Xin also came together. Of course, the troops of the independent regiment had cars to drive.

Not only did they come by car, but the head of the regiment, the political commissar, and the chief of staff each drove in one vehicle. The three jeeps stopped not far from the column headquarters with a "creak".

Before going to the meeting, Wang Chengde, the political commissar, suggested that instead of driving, go on horseback. The actual distance between the independent regiment and the column headquarters is not too far. If it weren't for the many turns, you could walk there.

But Li Yong quit, Li Datuan said, our independent regiment has to put on a show when we go out, there is no other way. Don't show signs, suppress them, not only have to drive, but also one person, people have to clean up, whether it is the three of us, or the soldiers driving, everyone has to change into new military uniforms, helmets and coats , The leather shoes should also be polished.

Wang Chengde had no choice but to say, "Okay, just drive and listen to you. Let's change our clothes and polish our shoes. It's awesome, just once."

Don’t think that Wang Chengde, the political commissar, can’t speak foul language. Political commissars in the war years didn’t just do ideological work for the soldiers. Just a moment.

Isn't that right? As soon as the three jeeps of the Independence Regiment arrived at the gate of the column headquarters, most of the eyes were attracted. Whether it was the cadres who came to the meeting or the guards on guard, they all looked this way. [

Looking at the style of the independent group, several leaders who came to the meeting commented: "****, I thought we could do it now, it's good enough, I also show off the whole jeep, I didn't expect to let this guy compare again , look at the three of them, one person and one car, their independent regiment is directly under the column, not far from here, you can walk here, look again, even the soldiers driving are wearing coats and leather shoes, look Those leather shoes can be used as a mirror, and the guys from the independent group are too rampant."

The other chief laughed loudly: "What's the matter? They don't like it? You have to stand up if you don't like it. It's okay for you to tell me that. If Lao Chen from the Fourth Brigade and Lao Zhao from the Second Regiment listen It’s terrible, they must be in a hurry with you, the guys in the independent regiment are all soldiers under their command, and they only separated later to live in another life, but now they are really promising.”

While the chiefs were talking, the cadres from the fourth brigade also arrived. Seeing the old chiefs they were familiar with, Li Yong, Wang Chengde and Fang Xin hurried forward to salute the old chiefs.

Brigadier Chen and Commander Zhao looked at a few people and gave them fists one by one. It was Brigadier Chen who spoke first: "Guys, you did a good job, good, good, you've made us look good, this is the real thing!" The soldiers I bring out are all good."

A few chiefs who spoke first not far away said: "See, I'm not wrong, how about it? You look at the people in the independent regiment, but Lao Chen and the others don't see it. Take a good look. Old Chen and Old Zhao are so happy that their mouths are so wide that they almost reach their ears."

The chiefs took a closer look, didn't they? People from the Fourth Brigade watched the independent regiment more and more, and they were all happy. The cadres who came to the meeting and the soldiers who drove were chatting with each other in full swing.

The cadre who spoke first said at this time: "Hey, it's no wonder that this independent regiment is indeed very powerful, and it has made great achievements this time, but if there are militiamen who want to replenish troops, I can't give them all. I will be the commander." You have to argue with him about the scolding of the commander, our commander is a bit too partial."

The other said: "Don't even think about it. How can there be so many militiamen? You can rest assured and train the prisoners well. Don't worry about it. After training, all prisoners are good fighters. I am I've heard people say that the head of the independent regiment, Li Da, was captured by one of his battalion commanders, isn't it the same as the head of the regiment sitting with you and me in meetings now?"

When the military chiefs at all levels of the second column who came to the meeting came into the room, people were surprised again. They saw that the table of the column headquarters was not only full of tea, but also packs of cigarettes and biscuit.

People are wondering, what is going on?When did the commander get rich?Why are you so generous today?

Seeing the strange expressions on everyone's face, Commander Wang laughed and said, "How is it? Look dumbfounded. Don't think that you are the only ones. Let me tell you that the people in our headquarters are not idle. The political commissar and I brought the guards Soldiers and staff officers also brought back a lot of good things, these are all, if you catch up today, you can make whatever you want.”

The political commissar took over the words and said: "Our commander was inspired by the Independence Regiment. Right after the battle, he took everyone around to make a fortune. He brought the soldiers back. It's nothing to do with me. Everyone Try it, and don’t keep saying that we like to take advantage.”

Amidst the laughter, the meeting officially started. Commander Wang stated all the opinions of the head of the field department, and then asked everyone to discuss collectively.

Just like the previous meeting, Li Yong, Wang Chengde, and Chief of Staff Fang Xin just sat behind Brigadier Chen, and the brothers didn't say anything.

The whole venue was full of steam, and everyone was very excited. If the Peichanghui Corps of the Kuomintang can be taken down according to Boss Peng's plan, the future battles will be much easier. At that time, our Northwest Field Army can fight whoever it wants Just hit whoever you want, hit wherever you want. v! ~!
