Chapter 338 Fighting 36th Division Three Again

He Cuihua, the deputy battalion commander who got up to grab the task, stood up and sat down. Everyone saw it. Wang Chengde, the political commissar, and Sun Quanhou, the battalion commander of the supply battalion, both laughed. This girl is a bit used to fighting, and she is going to be sick. When she sees the mission, she wants to grab it, but she has to say something. When he came back, he was indeed a good soldier. This is what the army needed in the war years.book friends whole~reason~provide

When everyone was making noise, Wang Huhu, the commander of the Fifth Battalion, also stood up: "Comrades, I have been injured for such a long time. Comrades have made great contributions during the time I was injured, and they all made great contributions. I I’m very anxious, I can’t sleep well at night, and my mouth is almost foaming, so comrades hand over the task of taking on the commando team to our fifth battalion, and let our fifth battalion make a great contribution.”

As soon as Wang Huo said this, the meeting room fell silent. Wang Huo was telling the truth. During the time he was injured, he fought off many big battles. An old man like Wang Huo who is extremely loyal to the army is in his blood. It was a lie for the soldier to say that he was not in a hurry, and these veteran soldiers also understood his feelings, so it was really embarrassing for others to rob him.

Li Yong and Wang Chengde glanced at each other. This is the tacit understanding between Li Yong and Wang Chengde. Whenever the meeting reaches this level, the two main leaders have to check the reactions of the commanders below. Seeing Wang Chengde stand up After the others stopped talking, they knew that everyone agreed that Wang Huo's Fifth Battalion would serve as the commando team.

That is to say, the troops of the People's Liberation Army, knowing that the commando has a lot of casualties, they still insist on rushing in. As long as such troops have the right soil and opportunities, it is difficult to win a battle.

Li Yong: "The plan is this. Since this is an isolated mountain, we will make full use of the geographical conditions here and attack from all sides. Behind the new 28th Brigade are the enemy's 28rd Brigade and [-]th Brigade. These two brigades are attacked and contained by other units of our column, and behind them is the main force of the enemy's corps, which is controlled by our field army. We don't need to worry about this. What we have to do is how to deal with the enemy's new [-]th brigade. The division of labor in our brigade is,

The first battalion will attack from the left, the second battalion will attack from the right, the third battalion will attack from the back of the mountain, the fourth battalion and the fifth battalion will attack from the front. It is necessary to prepare for the second echelon and prevent other enemies from stabbing us from behind. Although the enemies in other directions have troops to contain them, we must be careful. "

The commanders who came to the meeting silently listened to Li Yong's arrangements, and Wang Chengde, the political commissar, didn't say anything more. Although he was the secretary of the brigade party committee, the brigade commander still had the final say on the battle command.

Li Yong continued: "The purpose of our brigade is to supplement the left, right and rear attacks, with the front as the main direction of attack. Wang Huo is in charge of the frontal battle command. I assign the artillery and machine gun battalions of the whole brigade to you. , I hope you can break through in the first time."

Li Yong's arrangement also considered various factors. The main force of the independent brigade was placed on the front of the attack. The troops of several battalions were temporarily organized together to choose a commander who convinced everyone, and Wang Huo was undoubtedly the best. For example, Wang Huohu is still in the hospital, so you have to think about the problem from a different angle when selecting troops. The acting battalion commander He Cuihua is also very good, and she is good at fighting, but let her command a few battalions to cooperate. The battle is obviously still a little tender, this is adapting to the situation.

Wang Huo blushed agitatedly, this was the task he wanted, to shake the enemy's 28th brigade from the front, it would be much better if he said it in the future, and the brigade commander and political commissar assigned the machine gun battalion and howitzer battalion to him, so It is said that the four main battalions of the Independent Brigade are attacking from the front, with a total strength of more than 3000 people. I don't believe that the 28th Brigade of the Kuomintang can hold on.

The terrain of Huti Mountain is open in the front, and the rest is narrow. Attacking from the front is suitable for the deployment of troops and firepower. Since there is no way to sneak attack, attack from the front. All conspiracy is nothing in front of the real strength. Don't you KMT want to defend? ?Didn't your 36th Division want to see the intentions of our People's Liberation Army?Well, our People's Liberation Army is here and smashes everything about you, including your confidence.

The combat plan of the independent brigade was passed to Commander Wang of the column immediately, and Commander Wang replied: "I have issued the task, but how to fight is your business. I don't look at the process, but only at the result, but we There is not much time, the battle must be over before dark, your brigade will launch manual attacks, and the enemy columns in other directions will be responsible, so don't worry."

This is also the commanding style of Commander Wang. When selecting troops and commanders, you must be careful and careful, choose the best troops and the best commanders to complete the most difficult tasks, but once you make a decision, let it go Let the troops below do it, use any means, as long as the battle is won.

Looking at the enthusiastic commanders at all levels, the brigade commander Li Yong finally said: "Comrades, show the courage of our People's Liberation Army, let the enemy experience our true strength, and let them taste the iron fist of our People's Liberation Army. The position of the commander and the director of the field is that since Zhong Song was not killed last time, we will continue to fight until it is beaten into meat sauce. What is the main force? Ting comes out at the critical moment and clears away all difficulties Fang is the main force, now is the critical moment of the battle, we must fight hard, display the prestige of our brigade, and make the enemy frightened when they hear about our brigade."

Li Yong's encouragement made these old soldiers excited. The brigade commander said it very well, we are the main force, the main force brigade of the entire field army.

Political commissar Wang Chengde emphasized after the brigade commander Li Yong finished speaking: "The intention of our field army this time is to create an opportunity to destroy the KMT's reorganized 36th division in the attack of the enemy's large corps, and to attack the enemy's arrogance. The key is our The second column, and the key to our second column is our independent brigade. If we want to quickly eliminate the 36th division, we must use the fastest speed to disintegrate its defense system. The key part of the entire defensive position of the 36th division is the new 28th brigade. As long as we can wipe out the 28th Brigade, the entire defense system of the 36th Division will collapse. Think about it, everyone, we can solve the big problem by driving the enemy down from the mountains. It will be a challenge to fight in the field with the second column of our dominant force in the plains What result? So, the key point of the entire field army in this battle is our independent brigade. If we can end the battle quickly, every link will survive. If we can't win this battle, it will really be like what Commander Wang said In that case, the campaign operations of the entire field army may have to be cancelled.”

At the headquarters of the Second Column of the Northwest Field Army, a leader kept looking at the watch on his wrist while walking, and was still muttering: "What's going on? Why hasn't the Independent Brigade started yet? What are these little guys doing? "

Commander Wang in front of the map said with a bit of a smile: "Okay, I'm so anxious, you always advised me to be steady, what happened today?"

The captain also smiled and replied: "I'm really worried that the Independent Brigade will let them fight such an important battle just after they formed the army."

Commander Wang: "Haha, don't worry, the guys from the Independent Brigade have a lot of heavy weapons, and they move slower than other troops. According to their speed of movement, it will be almost the same in 10 minutes. Let's take a shot first." Yan, if they still can't ring after 10 minutes, you can call them directly and ask, um, give them a few words first."

"Okay, I will do as you said, but, I said Huzi, I heard that these gangsters caught several enemy tanks when they attacked Yan'an a few days ago. Is this really the case?"

Commander Wang: "I've read all the battle reports, and I've also read the seizure statistics. You went to the rear to collect recruits a few days ago and just came back. I haven't had time to tell you that eight tanks were seized. They were from the United States. The neck (referring to the caliber of the artillery, the caliber of the tank seized by the Independent Brigade is 37 mm, which is a little smaller), the Stuart, including the man and the tank, were caught. Hey, if there are more tanks and the caliber of the artillery is larger Better."

"Huzi, that's fine, it would be nice to have tanks. We didn't have anything before. It's not the same as winning a war. The weapon depends on who owns it. In the hands of our People's Liberation Army, even a grenade will be waved by it. Unleash the greatest power."

While the two column leaders were talking, they heard deafening artillery fire from the direction of the Independent Brigade. First, there were a few test shots of "Boom, Boom, Boom", and then the shots joined together. Ten seconds later, there was an earth-shattering explosion from the Hutishan position defended by the enemy's 28th brigade.

The battle of the Northwest Field Army to wipe out the 36th Division suddenly started. Commander Wang ran to the table a few steps, picked up the phone and shouted: "The whole column is attacking, and we must contain the enemy's [-]rd Brigade and [-]th Brigade behind us. Brigade, we can’t let them shoot even one bullet at the Independent Brigade, I will find someone to take responsibility for any problems in the troops, do you understand? If you understand, repeat it to me.”

The fifth brigade and sixth brigade of the second column also started in the first time. After several supplements, the number of personnel in the two brigades exceeded 8000. With great development, the number of heavy artillery in each brigade has reached more than 40, and the level of soldier training has also improved significantly. After the preparation of the artillery fire, the commandos of the fifth and sixth brigades rushed out with shouts, and continued to attack and move forward. .
