Chapter 361 The Difficulties of the Battle of Libei, Boss Peng Determined

When Pei Changhui, the commander of the Kuomintang Corps, was worrying about the lack of progress in the troops' offensive, Li Zhen, the commander of the reorganized No. 60 Fifth Division, came in after calling the report. The commander of the 65th Division said in front of Pei Changhui that the continuous attack The failure to achieve results was due to problems with our own troops, not the PLA on the opposite side.

Li Zhenhe's 65th Division is not a unit directly under Pei Changhui. Of course, we should pay more attention to such a character. Although he is just a division commander, his military rank is the same as Pei Changhui's. They are both lieutenant generals. His defense makes Pei Changhui dumbfounded After a while, this guy pondered the other party's mind and said: "Haha, what Mr. Li means is that the problem lies with us? Then what should we do if you say so?"

"Commander, I want you to replace the troops on the front line and let my 65th Division go up. I promise to take down the positions of the Communist Army within half a day. What do you think?"

kindness?Li Zhen's suggestion made Pei Changhui's head turn several times. What does Li Zhen mean?Why rush to fight with the communist army?Is this guy short-sighted?

Logically speaking, when the battle is at its most critical, it is a good thing for an officer to ask for a fight, but Pei Changhui has to think about the matter in his heart. This is also the reason why he has been in the officialdom for many years, so he has to think about everything , Think about the real intention of the other party.

Pei Changhui, who turned his head around a few times, finally made up his mind, no matter what Li Zhen thinks, let his 65th Division fight with the Communist Army, and the battle is won because he employs people well. , Credit is indispensable, if you don't play well, put the responsibility on the 65th division, so you can take a step back.

"Hahaha, okay, Mr. Li came just in time. Now is the time to share the worries of the party and the country. Since you can take the initiative to ask for a fight, there is no reason why I won't allow it. You go back immediately and prepare for the battle. It will be up to you in half an hour. The 65th Division launched an attack, as long as it breaks through the communist army's position, my promise will be fulfilled, and you are the deputy commander of our corps."

Li Zhen, the commander of the 65th Division, saluted Pei Changhui and walked out excitedly, returning to his 65th Division to prepare for the battle. Is this division commander really as stupid as others think?

Of course not, to be able to get into the army of the Kuomintang as a lieutenant general and division commander, none of them is short-sighted. This Li Zhen is also a character with a slick mind and a clever mind. The reason why he took the initiative to ask Pei Changhui for instructions is because he saw his so-called opportunity. .

The master of the 65th division was not idle when the troops had no combat missions. He was always paying attention to the situation on the battlefield when other troops attacked the positions of the People's Liberation Army. After careful observation by this guy, he found the opposite Although the defending People's Liberation Army fought back the attacking Kuomintang troops, it was very reluctant. In some areas, it was only by counterattack troops that they wiped out the Japanese troops that rushed in. It has reached the end of its strength, its strength is almost exhausted, and its 65th Division is a new force. If it rushes up at this time, the possibility of tearing apart the communist army's position is very high.

This is the real reason why Li Zhen, the commander of the 65th Division, and Pei Changhui called for a fight. It was to take advantage of the fatigue of the PLA troops on the opposite side and the heavy casualties of the soldiers. The lieutenant general of **, why should Pei Changhui be the commander, and I, Li, be the division commander.

Speaking of the 65th Division, there is really a bit of history. Originally, Hu Zongnan had an absolute advantage in terms of military strength compared with the People's Liberation Army in the Northwest. I love and hate at the same time, love because I am absolutely obedient and loyal to the principal, hate because I am not up to date, ten times the strength of the communist army can not solve the northern Shaanxi issue, in the end, there is no way the principal chose to support himself The students transferred the 65th Division from Guangdong to Hu Zongnan to strengthen the Communist Party's strength in the Northwest.

The 65th Division has not formally exchanged hands with the People's Liberation Army since it was transferred from Guangdong to the Great Northwest, and from the bottom of its heart, it looks down on the so-called Northwest Field Army. Come on, it's incomparable with **'s regular army.

Li Zhen, the division commander, also looked down on Hu Zongnan from the bottom of his heart. He became the director of the Northwest Appeasement Office because he was a student of the chairman of the committee. Three 10,000+ troops could not wipe out more than 2 mobs. It would be nice for the subordinates to give the head of the regiment Dangdang, but what about him, the Northwest King, bah.

Now the opportunity has come, Li Zhen and the middle and senior officers of the 65th Division all want to show their hands on the battlefield in the Northwest, and show Chairman Jiang who is far away in Nanjing, what is the pillar of the party and the country. .

Based on this idea, the 65th Division's offensive was very fierce and the battle was very active. As soon as the sixth column started, it felt that something was wrong. Commanding the troops to charge upwards, some lower-level officers took the lead in charging, and the cooperation between the troops was much stronger than that of the previous Kuomintang army.

The Sixth Column has been fighting the enemy for almost a day, and the troops are already weak, while the 65th Division is a new force that has just entered the battle. The troops are in full swing, and the pressure that the Sixth Column feels has suddenly increased, especially when it is at the bottom of the entire column. The teaching brigade at the central position was constantly in danger, and several forward positions were almost breached.

Brigadier Chen Haihan was very anxious. The sixth column basically had no reserve team, and even the logistics personnel were on the front line. As long as the main position was broken by the enemy, the entire front line would be very dangerous.

As a first-level senior commander of the field army brigade, Brigadier Chen Haihan also knew that Ye Si was not too far behind his own brigade, and only a few kilometers away from the position of the teaching brigade. If the enemy broke through the position , not only the entire column is in a very dangerous situation, but even the field army headquarters is overwhelmed. You know, Boss Peng and the leaders of the field division are there to direct the battle.

(Boss Peng’s Northwest Field Army headquarters was only two kilometers away from the forward position at the closest time, and within the direct range of enemy artillery fire. I don’t know what Hu Zongnan, who is far away in Xi’an, would think about this if he knew about it. The Northwest King was frightened.)

Brigadier Chen Haihan, who thought of the consequences, was sweating, no, it seems that he can't persevere just by relying on his strength as a teaching brigade.

After thinking about it, Brigadier Chen Haihan directly called the headquarters of the field army. First, he asked the headquarters for some support. Second, he asked the commanders of the field division to evacuate as soon as possible. The position of the teaching brigade was already very critical.

Brigadier Chen Haihan really has no choice. It is very taboo to call the field army headquarters directly without going through the column, but he knows that the column has a little extra power, and there is nothing wrong with calling Commander Luo. Use it, otherwise I wouldn't do that, making a call like this would embarrass Commander Luo Yuan.

At the Field Army Headquarters, a leader who received the call covered the receiver and said, "Boss, it's Chen Haihan from the teaching brigade. The Kuomintang's attacking corps has added new forces, and now the No. 60 from Guangdong is attacking the field. Fifth Division, this is a full-staffed reorganized division with strong combat effectiveness, Brigadier Chen told our headquarters to evacuate as soon as possible, their brigade's position may be breached by the enemy at any time."

The atmosphere in the headquarters suddenly became tense. These commanders all knew that a brigade commander would not call the field army headquarters unless it was absolutely necessary. Chen Haihan is a brave and skilled commander. If he It's really impossible to do that.

A chief reminded: "Boss, withdraw, we people don't know who Chen Haihan is? We are too close to the front line, I'm afraid we won't be able to run out when the time comes."

Boss Peng with a gloomy face has never said a word, and he is really unwilling to withdraw now. The victory of a big battle is about to be won, but he did not expect that many side issues will arise. If the Kuomintang army can be restrained for a while That would be great, but if it's just if, the field army only has five columns, and there are no soldiers to dispatch.

Seeing that Boss Peng has not spoken all the time, the chiefs in the headquarters knew that he had not made a final decision. At this time, everyone turned their attention to Political Commissar Xi Zhongxun who was standing beside Boss Peng.

Political Commissar Xi gives the impression that he is gentle and quiet, the biggest scholar in the field army, but if you think he is just a scholar, you are wrong.

In the final analysis, Political Commissar Xi is a soldier, a senior commander of the field army during the war years, and a soldier has a fiery temper. Boss Peng has a very violent temper. Not only is he the commander of the Northwest Field Army, but he is also the deputy commander of the entire Chinese People's Liberation Army. No one dares to refute what he does or what he says, but everything is special, and political commissar Xi is a very special example.

In the entire field army, perhaps only Political Commissar Xi can persuade Boss Peng to change his mind at a critical moment, and only Political Commissar Xi dares to command the guards to carry Boss Peng's sedan chair in times of danger.

(Boss Peng has always commanded the battle from the front to the front, so sometimes the headquarters of the field army is in a very dangerous situation. On several occasions, the political commissar Xi ordered the soldiers to force Boss Peng from the position Carrying it down, this is the so-called sedan chair, in the words of Political Commissar Xi, it means, at this time, you have to listen to the political commissar.)

Thank you for your support, I know that my update is very slow, I would like to say sorry to everyone here.
