The beacon of youth

Chapter [-] Target - Yan'an

First of all, I would like to explain to you a mistake. The Laoshan mentioned in the previous article is the "labor" of labor, so I hereby correct it.

At the pre-war meeting held by the second column, Li Yong and Wang Chengde quietly discussed whether to fight for the combat mission to attack Laoshan with Commander Wang and the commanders. The reserve team is much stronger.

Soldiers in that era were very simple-minded, and everyone had a common idea. If you have difficulties, you have to face them. If you don’t fight for dangerous tasks, what are you called soldiers?We all know that the more difficult the mission, the greater the casualties, but the more this is the more it can reflect the value of a soldier.

Wang Chengde secretly asked Li Yong why he asked the soldiers to engage in targeted training in advance. Are you a guy who is about to become Zhuge Liang?Li Yong chuckled, instead of answering Wang Chengde's question directly, he stood up firmly and said, "Masters, I have a suggestion."

After saying a word, the meeting place gradually quieted down. We have been in contact for so long, and we have met together more than once. Everyone knows that the small head of the independent group has a lot of money in his stomach. Regardless of his young age, he is not a simple person. character of.

Seeing Li Yong standing up, Commander Wang said with great interest, "I thought you two would just sit there until the meeting was over, so hurry up if you have any suggestions."

Li Yong: "Commanders, hand over this Laoshan position to our regiment. We are confident in completing the mission, destroying the Laoshan defenders, and creating conditions for the smooth deployment of large troops."

Commander Wang didn't say anything, but the chief of staff who introduced the situation to everyone just now spoke first: "Commander Li and Political Commissar Wang, although the terrain of Mount Lao is not high, it is very steep. It is a hilltop position that is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Knowing the importance of this position, I used a reinforced regiment to defend it. It has been in operation for more than a year, and all kinds of fortifications are complete. Although your independent regiment has more than twice the strength of the enemy, but if you want to win It is still very difficult, once you fail to successfully take down this hilltop position, the offensive actions of our entire column will be hindered, and the degree of difficulty must be carefully considered in order to win the mission, and you must be mentally prepared that it will not go smoothly."

How many people are there in the independent group, how many weapons are there, and how many family backgrounds are there? I can't hide it from others, but I can't hide it from the chief of staff of the second column, who is in charge of operations. This chief knows how many cards Li Yong and Wang Chengde have in their hands, so I will speak first. Remind the two of you.

Before Li Yong could answer, Commander Wang said first: "Don't be in a hurry to grab the mission. The chief of staff is right. I also want to inform you about the situation. It has been decided that the artillery of our entire column must be assembled and used, that is to say, the artillery of the entire column must be concentrated in the main attack direction, especially the artillery of your independent regiment, which is the strongest artillery unit in our column. I want to take them all away before the start, you two have to think about it, can you take Laoshan without artillery?"

What Commander Wang said made Li Yong and Wang Chengde stunned. They really didn't expect this problem. The howitzer battalion is the most important firepower of the independent regiment, and it is also the trump card of the regiment. A large part of the combat effectiveness of the independent regiment is It comes from this howitzer battalion, and the [-]nd infantry artillery and the [-]th wild mountain artillery equipped by the artillery battalion are also sharp weapons in mountain battles. If the superiors transfer all the artillery battalions away, the combat effectiveness of the independent regiment will be greatly affected, because Some of the tactics formulated by Li Yong, Wang Chengde and others revolved around the artillery battalion.

Li Yong and Wang Chengde quickly exchanged glances, and with Wang Chengde's encouragement, Li Yong puffed out his chest: "Mr., we will do it without artillery. If we don't, other brother troops have to join. Don't they also have no artillery?" ? Please rest assured, we promise to complete the task."

Commander Wang was very happy that the two military chiefs of the independent regiment asked for the mission. He also felt a headache about the Laoshan position. The combat force needs at least one main brigade. According to past experience, Commander Wang is not at ease with a brigade attacking such a solidly fortified position as Laoshan. It is good that the battle is going well. ?How many troops have to be used for reinforcements? It is useless to go less. If there are too many troops in the main attack direction, it will be affected. If they are sure to take this commanding height as the independent group said, it will be easy, and they can free up The three brigades came to deal with the defenders in Yan'an City.

"It's not enough to talk big words. It doesn't matter whether I will give you the mission to attack Laoshan. It will be decided after discussion by the party committee of the column. I will give you two days to come up with a battle plan. Whose plan is the most feasible? Just give the task to whom, do you understand?" Commander Wang said to everyone with a smile before the meeting ended.

After the meeting, all the units of the second column are nervously preparing. Although the column headquarters has not yet clarified whose mission it is, everyone understands that a big battle is inevitable and is coming soon. All kinds of training for the siege are getting more and more intense. stand up.

Unsurprisingly, the combat plans of each unit were not long after they were reported, and the order came down. The independent regiment was officially issued a combat order to attack Laoshan. In view of the arduous task, the party committee of the column gave it a very resounding name called "Laoshan". Mountain Assault Regiment".

One night two days later, the Northwest Field Army, which had been resting in this area for nearly two months, set out quietly. There was no one yelling, and there was no barking of dogs at night, only the footsteps of soldiers and the sound of cars. In the past two months, not only did the soldiers get along with the local people like a family, but they even got to know the dogs in the people's homes, so there was nothing too special about the dogs in this area when the troops left. Big reaction, hey, are they all acquaintances?

Since the capture of Yan'an in April, July and March, the Kuomintang troops occupying Yan'an have not stopped for a day. All kinds of news are overwhelming, and it is difficult to distinguish between true and false. After the army withdrew from Yan'an, it seemed as if it disappeared suddenly, and there was no news at all. It was useless whether it was reconnaissance by plane or by sending a large number of spies. According to the pilot, there are mountains and ditches everywhere in northern Shaanxi. The empty reconnaissance effect is limited, and the spy personnel are even more pitiful. Only a small number of personnel sent out on this land that has been thoroughly reddened by the Communist Party can return, and most of the spy personnel are missing. In the later period, not to mention individual scouts, even small groups of troops dared not go out, for fear of being eaten by the ubiquitous communist guerrillas.

Later, the battle became more and more uncomfortable. The large troops were dragged down by the big valley in northern Shaanxi, and their energy was dragged away. Just when you thought the Communist army had disappeared, they would follow you An unimaginable place suddenly came out to bite you, tore off a bloody piece of flesh from your body, and then disappeared.

At the beginning, brigades and brigades were eaten by the communist army. Later, the appetite of the communist army became bigger and bigger, and the losses of the Communist Party increased exponentially. Even Liu Kan, Yan Ming, Xu Bao and other senior generals of the Communist Party of China were also beaten. They were killed or captured, but there was no good news. The military officers stationed in Yan'an had nothing to do all day, and then someone came up with a way. The Yanhe River was about to freeze when it was cold, and it was a good place for skating, so a large number of The officers of the Communist Party go skating every day, and the entire Yanhe River is full of the officers of the Communist Party of China running. Not to mention, these officers are good at skating, probably much better than the officers of the People’s Liberation Army Let alone skating in the troops of the People's Liberation Army, there may be very few people who have this kind of thinking, and everyone's thinking is focused on fighting.

But even such days didn’t last long, bad news came one after another, first Yulin was occupied by the communist army, then Liu Kan and Yan Ming’s corps were wiped out by the communist army, and these officers who had nothing to do all day long had no skating anymore Feeling depressed, drinking in the house all day long, using alcohol to temporarily anesthetize himself.

A few days ago, there was news that Baoji was once again occupied by the communist army, and Pei Changhui, who was sent to rescue him, was also beaten and disarmed by the communist army. He didn't even bring back half of the troops. The entire corps had lost its combat effectiveness. Don't look* *It seems that there are quite a lot of troops in northern Shaanxi, but there are places to defend everywhere, and almost all the mobile troops that can be assembled have been beaten by the Communist Army, but the troops of the Communist Army are There are more and more people, and their courage is also getting bigger and bigger, and now they dare to come out for activities in broad daylight.

This is even more frightening. The ubiquitous communist army may suddenly pop out from places you can't imagine at any time, grab your neck and kill you.

More than a year has passed in the blink of an eye, and by June of [-], the military troops stationed in Yan'an had all put on single military uniforms. This shows the benefits of sufficient logistics supplies, and you don't have to worry about anything else except fighting .

On this morning, the headquarters of the Kuomintang Reorganized No. 17 Division stationed in Yan'an was crowded with people. He Ding, the commander of the reorganized No. 17 Division and the commander of the Yan'an garrison, was holding a meeting of senior generals.

He Ding, a first-year student in Whampoa, a classmate of Hu Zongnan, of course, is also a classmate of some senior commanders in the PLA. This qualification is very strong, but it is only the qualifications. It is hard to say about other aspects. For example, Liu Kan and When Yan Ming was besieged by the People's Liberation Army, he once asked him for help, but he, the commander, only sent a brigade to rescue him at that time. What would a brigade do for a large corps?With the strength of three divisions in hand, but only one brigade to deal with errands, what kind of courage is worthy of being a commander-in-chief?

After a period of time, the update of the old bus will be better, please forgive me for the time being.
