Chapter 232 The Siege of Baoji in the Battle of Xifu

Commander Wang, who came to the independent regiment to inspect the work, or to see the fun and satisfy his curiosity, was overwhelmed by Li Yong's words.

Well, this guy Dayong is really amazing. I just came back from a meeting at the headquarters of the Field Army. At the meeting, what Boss Peng said was almost analyzed by this guy. No, I have to let this kid think more about it. Don't waste it a bit.

Thinking of this, Commander Wang circled around the modified car a few times, then pulled Li Yong aside, lowered his voice slightly and said:

"Dayong, I originally wanted to talk to you during the meeting, but now I will tell you in advance that Yesi just held an emergency meeting. At the meeting, Boss Peng proposed that we give up Luochuan, who is currently attacking, and Pei Changhui, who is going to help. The whole army went north, went to the east area of ​​Xifu, and took the camera to capture Baoji, obtained the enemy's supply resources, and solved the problem of food and seasonal clothing.

The weather is getting hotter every day, and the troops are going to start changing clothes again, but what about our clothes?It's not settled yet, and the food is about to run out. With 10,000+ people, it's terrible to have no food.

But according to your analysis, it would be really troublesome for the enemy in Qinghai to launch a surprise attack on us. The cavalry of the brigade is too maneuverable. When the enemy was divided into three sides a year ago, the enemy only had more than 4000 cavalry. Worry, this cavalry can not only fight you head-on, but can also maneuver from a long distance to hit your logistics supply line. At that time, it was thanks to you that you entangled the enemy's cavalry, which saved the head of the headquarters a lot of worry.

After more than a year of development, our field army has also formed our own cavalry, but there is only one cavalry division with more than 3000 people. We lost part of it in the last battle, and now we have less than [-]. We have no way to fight against the enemy. It's really a question, do you have any specific ideas? "

Li Yong took the commander's words and said: "The most powerful part of the enemy's cavalry is their impact and speed. Once the horses start to run, the riders on the horses can't do it if they don't want to charge. Everything else is very ordinary, so I want to use the car to increase the speed." Armoring is a way to change the situation of insufficient mobility and protection capabilities of the troops, and it will hurt the cavalry of the Ma family army."

Commander Wang nodded: "You have done a good job, step up your preparations, the troops may be dispatched in the next few days, I will seriously consider your suggestion and report it to the headquarters."

Hearing what Commander Wang said, Li Yong let out a long sigh of relief. No matter what, he has done everything he can do, and reminded him of what he can remind. No matter what, only God knows.

During this period of time, the Northwest Field Army has been unable to siege Luochuan for a long time, and has paid a lot of losses. This situation made Hu Zongnan, the commander of the Kuomintang theater commanding in Xi'an, heave a sigh of relief.

Hu Zongnan took it for granted that as long as Luochuan can be kept, Yan'an can be kept, as long as Yan'an can be kept, the national government's face will not be lost, the headmaster's face is also honored, and Hu Zongnan still has some credit. The Americans who he conquered and spent a lot of money will not say anything.

This Yang Yinhuan is really a character. I didn't expect that he could use a brigade to fight against the main force of the Northwest Communist Army for more than a month. Not only did Luo Chuan not lose, but he also killed and injured a large number of Communist Army. The leaders in the Northwest have gained face, which shows that our army still has many generals who can fight. Not all of them are Zhang Hanchu from Yichuan, or they are all afraid of death. This also shows that I, Mr. Hu, have contributed to promoting talents.

Just when Hu Zongnan was preparing to reward and appoint Yang Yinhuan, who was guarding Luochuan, the chief of staff Sheng Wen came in and reported that all the communist forces in the Luochuan area had suddenly withdrawn. Marching on the road, there is an attempt to advance westward.

Is there such a thing?Hu Zongnan's face, which seemed very happy just now, immediately pulled down again. These days, his attention has been placed on the relationship between Luochuan and Yan'an. All day long, what he thinks about is how to keep Luochuan and Yan'an. Unexpectedly, the Communist Army suddenly withdrew again. Going out and advancing westward without warning, what is the intention of the Communist Army, and what strategic thinking is it based on to let them advance westward?

After much deliberation, Hu Zongnan couldn't figure it out, otherwise Hu Zongnan was an idiot, not only the Communists said he was an idiot, but Boss Peng also said about him, and after making a phone call for more than half an hour, all he told his subordinates was just the clothes. How to nail the buttons and how to tie the shoelaces, the commander in charge of tens of thousands of horses, if he even has to ask about this matter, will he be exhausted?Don't have to do anything else for a day.

The Kuomintang people said that he was just a material for a company commander, and he was only an army general because of his relationship with the chairman as a teacher, a student, and a fellow villager. With a large army of tens of thousands of horses, all the weapons and equipment of American weapons were equivalent to 10 soldiers. Only the Northwest Field Army with millet and rifles can't control the initiative on the battlefield. Isn't this waste?

From the very beginning of going to the northwest, he was led by the nose by more than 2 people led by Boss Peng. Within one and a half months, he was eaten up by three brigades in Qinghuabian, Yangmahe, and Panlong towns.

More than a year has passed, the Kuomintang's troops have been fighting less and less, and the strategic initiative is basically gone. However, the Northwest Field Army led by the Kuomintang has continued to grow and grow, from the initial [-] to [-]. This is still not appropriate If all the soldiers captured in the Battle of Sichuan are included, the strength of the Northwest Field Army will be greatly improved.

30 against [-], the battle is still unwinnable, which shows that the gap between the chairman’s good student and Boss Peng is not so big, it can be said that they are not on the same level at all, and he is not even qualified to be a student of Boss Peng. The commander-in-chief will still be retained, which shows that the defeat of the Kuomintang is not wronged.

This is even more so now. The strategic intentions of the Northwest Field Army led by Boss Peng and Political Commissar Xi are completely unclear, and his mind is in chaos. In fact, if Hu Zongnan has a good brain, he can find some clues about the activities of the People's Liberation Army.

From fighting Panlong to Yulin at the beginning, and then to Yichuan and Luochuan, the big battles that the Japanese will fight are basically related to the supply of the troops. This is where we can find the most attractive place. people?Needless to say, where there is food, the place can most attract the large troops of the Eighth Route Army.

Everyone knows where the most food is in the Rongdong area of ​​Xifu. It is Baoji, the logistics base of the Kuomintang. The food and supplies here are the biggest factors that attract the large troops of the Eighth Route Army.

Commander Wang went to the Independent Regiment to look for Li Yong, and within a few days, the troops really moved out, and all the troops of the brigade were withdrawn. The Independent Regiment continued to march as usual, and moved together with the column headquarters.

The westward march of the field army did not bring the prisoners captured in the Yichuan Battle. The troops were going to fight, and carrying the prisoners was a big burden. The captives were led by a leader of the field army and marched to the vicinity of Yulin, intending to continue to treat the prisoners near Yulin. Conduct training.

The prisoners of the Independence Regiment were also taken to the vicinity of Yulin like other prisoners. Li Yong’s request to the commander of the Independence Regiment was that when the troops returned from the Xifu area, they should be able to see the mental outlook of these new soldiers. The standards of veteran soldiers can only be added to the army, otherwise it will be useless if there are too many people.

The soldiers of the Northwest Field Army marching westward are in good spirits, but the number of soldiers is much smaller than when they set off from Yulin. Excluding the soldiers who are still recovering from injuries in the hospital, the total strength of the whole army is less than [-], and they have to stay for containment The enemy's third column, Xu Guangda's division, has a total strength of less than [-] troops advancing westward.

The Yichuan battle just ended not long ago. Although our army wiped out the enemy's heavy troops and won an unprecedented victory, its own losses were not small. Many veterans with combat experience are still lying in the hospital.

The captured new liberation fighters could not be replenished for a while, and a part of the troops had to be left to contain the enemy, resulting in a sharp drop in the total strength of the westward marching troops, which left hidden worries for future battles.

The attacking troops went smoothly all the way, and encountered very weak resistance. The sixth column on the right took Changwu and Lingtai about 150 kilometers north of Baoji.

A column on the middle road captured Binxian County, more than 100 kilometers northwest of Baoji, and after a long-distance raid of more than 80 kilometers, occupied Fengxiang County.

The second column and the fourth column on the left occupied the Longhai railway line east of Baoji. So far Baoji has been surrounded by the field army on three sides.

At this time, Hu Zongnan in Xi'an realized that the target of the People's Liberation Army's attack was Baoji, his rear base. This guy hurriedly ordered the Pei Changhui Corps to rescue Baoji and force reinforcements at all costs. military law.

After doing all this, Hu Zongnan was still uneasy. After more than a year of fighting, he was already scared by Peng Dehuai's Northwest Field Army. Although he reacted, could his subordinates be organized so quickly?Just like Pei Changhui, the order is given to him, but how he executes it is beyond his control. He said he wants to deal with the military law of the former, but how to implement the military law, this old guy from the eighth phase of Baoding has more than 100 reasons I can argue with you, the loser may be myself, the commander-in-chief.

After thinking for a while, Hu Zongnan finally called his principal, hoping that the Ministry of National Defense would come forward and order the Ma Bufang Group in Qinghai in the northwest to dispatch troops to attack the Northwest Communist Army on both sides and completely resolve the siege of Baoji.

At the end of the Qing Dynasty, after the Xinhai Revolution in 1911, the Qing Dynasty, which ruled China for more than 200 years, collapsed. Specifically, the thirteenth dynasty ruled for 290 years. The whole of China was in turmoil. The huge country was in a state of anarchy. Warlords Under the separatist regime, the common people have no means of living.
