The beacon of youth

Chapter 400 Poor People Division 258

The independent brigade's continuous attack for more than half an hour caused the loss of more than half of the 258th Division of the Majia Army. Political commissar Wang Chengde felt that the time had come, and discussed with Li Yong whether to slow down the offensive so that the soldiers could shout. just surrendered.

Unexpectedly, Li Yong insisted that none of them should be kept and all should be eliminated. The reason was that these cavalry of the Qingma Army were different from Hu Zongnan's Central Army. Most of the soldiers in Hu Zongnan's Central Army were from poor families. Come here and educate for a period of time, and you will be a good soldier. Most of the independent brigade, including the brigade commander Li Yong, can be said to be Hu Zongnan's soldiers. Of course, it was in the past.

However, many of the soldiers of the Ma Family Army were bandits, and they were so stubborn that they had blood debts on their bodies. The older officers might have participated in the encirclement and suppression of the West Route Army of the Red Army. An unknown number of Red Army soldiers died under their knives. , Such a person is very difficult to reform, and he does not want to reform.

Li Yong didn't like these soldiers of Ma's army at all. Thinking of their behavior of killing prisoners, wounding soldiers and mistreating them made people angry. Such prisoners are useless. (The Independent Regiment of the West Route Army of the Red Army was completely ruined in their hands. At that time, a squad or a platoon was divided into a Red Army female soldier who was captured and killed after being raped.)

The troops of the People's Liberation Army do not kill prisoners, but there are also disadvantages in not killing prisoners. These soldiers who are habitual bandits have no special skills and can do nothing but be bandits. It is a hidden danger to stay in the army. , It is impossible to keep them, and it is difficult to educate them, so it is useless to keep such prisoners, it is better to solve them once, so as to save worry.

Another reason is that our field army will develop greatly in the future, and we will also liberate Qinghai, Gansu and Ningxia, the old nests of the Majia army. a little.

Wang Chengde, the political commissar, couldn't refute Li Yong's rationale. If he didn't object, he agreed. Even the political commissar agreed.

At the insistence of Li Yong, the brigade commander, the fierce firepower lasted for more than an hour. I don’t know how much ammunition and artillery shells were consumed. Anyway, except for dozens of veterans, no one knew how to save ammunition. The sound gradually faded away, and in the eyes of the soldiers, there were basically no living people to be seen, and the entire big valley was turned into the end of the world by the independent brigade.

"Tell Wei Gang, let their battalion go out immediately, search all the surrounding areas of five to ten kilometers, and order the supply battalion to clean up the battlefield immediately. If there is any resistance, it should be repaired. Soldiers, speed up, the whole brigade will start in an hour."

A few minutes after Li Yong's order was issued, dozens of large trucks from Wei Gang's battalion drove out, and the engines were already on ignition, waiting for the brigade commander to give an order.

The more than 2000 people in the supply battalion and the supplementary battalion couldn't wait any longer. Under the leadership of Sun Quanhou and He Cuiyu, the soldiers rushed forward to clean the battlefield.

He Cuiyu has been impatient for a long time, fighting a war, is this also called a war?This is purely watching the excitement. More than 2000 cats are watching the diorama in the trenches, and they haven’t fired a round or thrown a grenade. What does this mean?Hey, it's better to be the battalion commander in the fifth battalion, because I can win battles every time.

Battalion Commander Sun Quanhou is the oldest soldier in the Independent Brigade, he is more than ten years older than He Cuiyu. The old Sun can see He Cuiyu's thoughtfulness clearly, watching He Cuiyu walking back and forth anxiously , the old grandson thought about it, like a fake girl, how can he find a husband's family in the future.

He Cuiyu didn't think about whether to find her husband's family, but was thinking about how to go up to fight a battle. Later, she couldn't bear it anymore and discussed it with Lao Sun. She went to the brigade commander and political commissar and asked for some combat missions. Bring your comrades and get some credit, or how can you tell the people in the station when you go back, if they ask, how did you fight the war?How do we answer?He replied that the battle was fought well, but we didn't fire a single shot?It's also ugly.

The impatient He Cuiyu was dragged back by the battalion leader, Lao Sun: "I said girl, don't follow me, let alone our supply camp, take a good look, Wei Gang's machine gun battalion, Gao Xiang's howitzer battalion, as well as several companies of Sanniu and Xiaocheng in the brigade, and the tank troops with Li Yinming outside, all remained silent, which shows that our brigade commander and political commissar did not intend to use these troops at all , It’s no use if you go, you’ll have to be punished.”

He Cuiyu thought about it, but he was discouraged when he saw the useless appearance of the Ma family army in the ditch. They don't deserve our independent brigade to use all their strength. If they don't go, they won't go.

In the end, there were some tasks. The brigade ordered the supply battalion to clean up the battlefield. The task was very suitable for the supply battalion to complete. Most of the property of the independent brigade was in their hands. After the battle, it was correct to let them go down and get some money. Yes, but He Cuiyu couldn't take up such a task at all, and let Lao Sun lead the troops to rush down in front, while he sauntered down behind.

The baggage battalion rushed down the hillside, and the gunfire stopped immediately, and if it didn't stop, they would beat their own people. The soldiers of other troops had food and water, and some talked nonsense: "Hey, look at this Ma's army is poor enough , The supply battalion probably won’t be able to get any good goods back.”

The other also followed Hu's vernacular: "How do you know that there are no good products? I heard that many people in the Ma's Army are bandits, and they may have gold bars and oceans on them. Hurry up and ask our platoon leader to use the walkie-talkie to notify the comrades in the supply camp. Ladies, don't forget to search your pockets."

"Still searching pockets? Do you want to violate discipline?"

"Putting it down, what is a violation of discipline? Searching the living is a violation of discipline. Searching the pockets of the dead is not counted. Besides, even searching the pockets of the living is not considered a violation of discipline in the eyes of our brigade commander. In the words of our brigade commander, it is not It’s called searching pockets, what’s it called? It’s called searching for combat supplies, which can effectively improve the combat effectiveness of troops, hahahaha.”

The other soldier was immediately speechless. Thinking about his brigade commander, he really had such a temper. He was cruel to the enemy, but he was very tolerant to his soldiers. Most of the discipline in the army was the business of Wang Chengde, the political commissar, and Fang Xinxin, the chief of staff. The brigade commander Not only did Li Yong not care, but he often interceded with the soldiers, and he was considered a freak in the People's Liberation Army.

He Cuiu led a group of soldiers walking staggeringly down the hillside, his eyes were full of dead people and dead horses, and he could see nothing he liked after walking for ten minutes, except for the weapons abandoned on the battlefield A rifle is a saber, not even a light machine gun.

She has a high vision, and she doesn't like these junks. He Cuiyu, who has no interest at all, called Li Yong through the walkie-talkie: "Brigade Commander, I'm He Cuiyu, Ma Jiajun is nothing interesting, we go back."

Li Yong and Wang Chengde are very aware of He Cuiyu's temper, knowing that this girl is a little angry, Li Yong picked up the microphone: "He Cuiyu, what do you mean is no fun, you should be serious, gather all the horses in the ditch, live Everyone will die, the sooner the better."

The Ma family army really doesn’t have any good things, except the dead are horses, but no matter what, as long as there is a little use, they must all go back. If the independent brigade can’t use it, it doesn’t mean that other troops can’t use it, such as sabers, field army’s The cavalry division is just for use, the horses must go, and the living ones are kept for their own use. It is really not necessary to send them to the cavalry division of the field army. The dead horses are used as rations for the troops, and it is also a good choice for the soldiers to eat some horses.

But it wasn't nothing at all. Under the identification of a few prisoners who survived by chance, several soldiers brought Ma Desheng, the commander of the 258th Division, and killed the commander. No matter how you say it, it was a big deal. I heard that Wuying, who had heard about this incident, cheered immediately. Unexpectedly, the young man in the clothes was Ma Desheng, but this time he had a big face. (Ma Desheng in history was indeed killed by artillery fire because the target was too obvious because of his clothes)

An hour later, Wei Gang and the soldiers from his battalion came back on time. Apart from the soldiers, dozens of Majiajun prisoners were tied up in the car. No, not even a grain of grain. According to the prisoners, their 258th Division was about to be shut down, so they chased the grain carts of the reconnaissance battalion desperately.

After arriving at Wei Gang and the soldiers of their battalion, the troops of the Independent Brigade immediately withdrew from their positions, carrying the captured items on the battlefield, and disappeared into the depths of the vast mountain again.

The entire battle took more than two hours, and more than 258 people from the 100th Division of the Qingma Army were wiped out. The casualties were only a mere [-] people.

The battle seems simple, but it has condensed countless efforts of the commanders and fighters. From calculating the Ma's army commander's revenge psychology to setting up an ambush, every step is wrong and this battle cannot be fought. It is easy to gather and annihilate, so it is said that adequate preparation before the battle is the guarantee of victory in the battle, and calculating with intention and carelessness is the prerequisite for victory.

A confidential officer quickly pushed away the headquarters of the Northwest Field Army, holding a telegram in his hand and shouting: "Several leaders, good news, it's the battle report from the Independent Brigade."

Several leaders in the headquarters turned their heads together, and Liu Jingfan, the deputy commander of the field army, snatched the telegram and muttered, "Is it the telegram from the Independent Brigade? I have to take a good look at it."

The actions of Deputy Commander Liu made Boss Peng and several leaders laugh, and everyone knew what he meant. It was his idea to use the independent brigade to deal with the cavalry of the Ma family army, so whether the independent brigade fought well or badly Commander Liu was Very caring.

Thank you for your votes, thank you for your support. Li Yong and his independent brigade are about to deal with Xi'an, Hu Zongnan's lair.
