Chapter 337 Fighting 36 Division Two Again

At the pre-war meeting held by the Second Column, Li Yong expressed to Commander Wang on behalf of the more than 9000 cadres and soldiers of the Independent Brigade that he would resolutely complete the tasks assigned by the Party Committee of the Column and destroy the new 36th Brigade, the main force of the 28th Division of the Kuomintang at all costs, and win the pot. ladder mountain.Read novels on mobile phones, update synchronously\!{'}

Commander Wang nodded, then pointed to the position of Huti Mountain on the map and said: "Contact the enemy as soon as possible, and make all preparations. It is up to you to decide when to start the attack. I will let the fifth and sixth brigades follow the instructions of your independent brigades." In other words, the attack time of your brigade is the total attack time of the whole column, but the task must be completed before evening. The time given by the wild division is one and a half days, and our column is required to complete the attack within one and a half days. Otherwise, the battle plan will be cancelled. That is to say, the remaining columns of the Yesi can only buy us a day and a half. The time I gave you is one day. The Fourth Brigade organized an assault."

Commander Wang's words also have a certain role as a general. He has handed over the most important task to your independent brigade.

It is very taboo to replace troops in the middle of battle. If you are replaced, it means that your troops will not be trusted by your superiors. This kind of impact on an army is huge. It will not be slowed down without fighting a few good battles for a short period of time. Come, Commander Wang, although he is usually joking and unassuming, he will never be soft when dealing with problems, and he was merciless when he dealt with the Fifth Brigade last time.

The Fifth Brigade is an old unit brought out by Commander Wang. The brigade commander Guo Peng and other commanders are the old subordinates of Commander Wang for many years, but their attack was frustrated. Commander Wang immediately transferred the independent regiment to attack instead of them. , This is true for the Fifth Brigade, let alone other troops.

At this time, the Northwest Field Army also took a great risk in wanting to wipe out the 36th Division. The 36th Division is not a lone army. It is not easy to eat it up among the many Kuomintang troops. In other words, the division commander Zhong Song wanted to prove his eagerness, so the 36th Division was slightly ahead of other Kuomintang troops.

In this way, the 36th Division's approach has left an opportunity for Boss Peng and other senior commanders of the Northwest Field Army. Don't you want to make contributions?Don't you want to show more?Okay, let's take advantage of your mentality, look for opportunities to fight, and seize the opportunity to eat him up. This is called shooting the first bird.

Huti Mountain is surrounded by a plain with steep slopes, high mountains, sparse vegetation, and large and small gullies formed by the impact of rainwater. The 28th Brigade, under the supervision of the division commander Zhong Song, built a large number of field fortifications on the steep slope. Bright bunkers and various firepower points are everywhere. On the top of the mountain, there is also a large temple built entirely of stones. The division headquarters and the brigade headquarters of the 36th brigade have been strengthened and converted into temporary field command posts.

Although the 36th Division is a newly formed unit, it is still the regular army of the Kuomintang. The regular army of the Kuomintang is not useless in fighting. It is far behind the Eighth Route Army in mobile warfare, but it has a set of methods in the organization of defense. Every Each army has an independent engineer service, so their various fortifications are well repaired (the army has its own traditions, and the Kuomintang army's defensive warfare is very good, such as the Kuomintang No. It was changed to the People's Liberation Army, and it was famous for being good at defensive warfare when it confronted the U.S. military on the Korean battlefield).

Relying on this isolated mountain, Zhong Song, the division commander, placed the main force and the division headquarters on the mountain, and placed the [-]th brigade and the [-]rd brigade on both sides of the mountain slightly behind. At the tip of the knife, the three brigades rely on each other's defensive positions.

But at this time, the division commander Zhong Song didn't feel the pressure from the Northwest Field Army, it was just that this guy had suffered a lot when fighting the People's Liberation Army, so he acted cautiously.

Huti Mountain, the temple on the top of the mountain, the command post of the 36th Division of the Kuomintang and the 28th Brigade, the division commander Zhong Song is constantly guessing the intentions of the PLA. This guy has been hating the PLA since he almost lost his life in the Battle of Shajiadian In my heart, I always want to find a chance to get my face back.

Now I can’t stop staring at the map, and I am still talking to myself naturally: "What does the communist army mean? Do you not want to fight our army? Or dare not to fight our army? The tactics of the communist army is to use small troops. yin*Our army was fooled, and set up an ambush with the main force to fight a war of encirclement and annihilation, but what use is this kind of tactics for our troops who have set up defensive positions? Why has the Communist army not made any moves until now? My feeling is wrong ?"

An officer not far away followed Zhong Song's words and said: "Master, is our division's attack speed too fast? The friendly troops on the left and right sides have not been able to catch up in time. According to the analysis of the inferior position, we have been attacked by the common The danger of dividing and encircling the army."

Zhong Song: "It's good to be cautious, but don't be too scared to hold back and miss the opportunity. You are too worried. According to my experience in dealing with the communist army for many years, the communist army has always been cautious and cautious in combat. It is not safe. If we are sure, we won’t make a move. Although our army’s position is a little bit forward, but with this mountain as our backing and a large army of friendly troops behind us, the communist army has no chance to attack us.”

Zhong Song is the highest officer of this army. He said that if there is no problem, it must be all right, but there are also a few officers who are together on this mountain as some kind of defensive position. "

The other immediately took up the conversation and said: "Don't be a tiger, what good is it for us to fight the Communist army to the death, and we must say less or not to say such angry words in the future."

After accepting the task, Li Yong took a group of commanders to check the terrain. This Huti Mountain is different from the Panlong Town that the Independent Brigade attacked before and the Lao Mountain that the Independent Brigade attacked recently. Why do you say it is different?Because the mountainous positions attacked by the Independent Brigade in the past were all connected by mountains, such isolated mountains protruding from the plains have never been dealt with before. In addition, the previous battles were carried out at night, and various tactics were used for the troops. Certain conditions have been created.

But everything is different now. This is a hill that is not too high, but it is still very conspicuous. The surrounding field of vision is also very wide, and the battle will be carried out during the daytime. In other words, if you want to win the Hutishan position, there is only one way to go by force.

The pre-war meeting of the Independent Brigade was held behind a hidden mountain not too far from Huti Mountain. Li Yong pointed to Huti Mountain and said to the commanders: "Everyone has seen the situation, and there are no clever tactics to arrange. It is impossible to climb up from the back mountain to surprise the enemy, but there are no conditions in war, and the time given to our brigade by the column is that if we want to take it down within one day, we must finish the enemy within one day."

Li Yong, who paused for a while, raised his voice and said word by word: "The column ordered our brigade to end the battle before dusk. My idea is to storm Huti Mountain and have dinner on the top of the mountain at noon. Comrades have no confidence?"

The military commander is the soul of an army, and the brigade commander Li Yong is the soul of the independent brigade. No one can replace this, and neither can the political commissar Wang Chengde. The confidence of the army is largely related to the soul of the army. Li Yong's resolute words made these veterans who came to the meeting very excited.

Li Jiangguo, the commander of the first battalion, got up and said: "What is the regular army of the Kuomintang? This 36th division was rebuilt after we defeated it in the Shajiadian battle. Since we encountered it, we will eat it again. This time we will not even give you the bones." What was left, he drank all the soup and water."

Ning Jinshan, the commander of the Fourth Battalion, who has a quieter personality, has never been very talkative on such occasions. He also said this time: "The current 36th Division is far worse than before. The weapons and equipment and the quality of the soldiers are not as good as the old ones." troops, and the combat effectiveness of our troops is much stronger than it was more than a year ago, we were able to wipe it out a year ago, and we can wipe it out even more now, our fourth battalion asked the brigade party committee to serve as a sharp knife commando.”

The Fourth Battalion Commander, Ning Jinshan, immediately got a little tricky as soon as he finished speaking, Ning Jinshan's temperament is not to compete with others for tasks, even this guy has to reach out, can others not be in a hurry?

In the independent brigade, five infantry battalions and one reconnaissance battalion are qualified to serve as commandos. Artillery battalions, machine gun battalions, and supply battalions cannot get such tasks. Among the commanders at the battalion level, the most temperamental The ones who are most anxious are undoubtedly Ma Changsheng, the commander of the third battalion, and He Cuihua, the deputy battalion commander of the supply battalion who has resumed his old duties.

The two men also stood up immediately, and Ma Changsheng, the commander of the third battalion, blushed and shouted: "No, why should you let your fourth battalion be a commando? Our third battalion is the best at this kind of work, and you soldiers from the fourth battalion His marksmanship is good, just take cover behind us."

Again, the character of the army has a lot to do with the character of the military commander. The third battalion commander Ma Changsheng is the best bayonet fighter in the independent brigade, so the soldiers of the third battalion also like to fight close combat and mess with the enemy Fighting together is their strength, and the fourth battalion commander Ning Jinshan has the best marksmanship, so the soldiers of the fourth battalion are all very accurate. This is what the third battalion commander Ma Changsheng said to let the fourth battalion cover behind reason.

He Cuihua, who stood up with Ma Changsheng, thought about it, and sat down again without saying anything. She forgot, thinking that she was the acting battalion commander of the Fifth Battalion, and only remembered after she stood up. Wang Huohu has already returned. He is now the deputy battalion commander of the supply battalion, and he still stands up to grab an egg. No matter how mischievous the brigade commander and political commissar are, they will not hand over the task of commando to the supply battalion. Hey, he is still serving as an infantry battalion. Hello, battalion commander.

Thank you for your support and rewards. I also saw the message. During the Mid-Autumn Festival, the distance between the old bus and home is more than 800 kilometers, and the nature of the old bus does not allow me to update it with a notebook. Thank you again .
