The beacon of youth

Chapter 401 Big Adaptation

Hearing that there was a battle report from the Independent Brigade, Deputy Commander Liu of the Field Army, who usually doesn't pay much attention to fighting, took the telegram first.

Looking at Commander Liu's face, he was about to burst into laughter. Needless to say, everyone knew what was going on by looking at his expression. The Independent Brigade must have won the battle again.

Boss Peng, who received the telegram from Commander Liu and read it carefully, slammed the telegram on the table: "Well done, the 258th division was completely wiped out in two hours of battle, and the division commander Ma Desheng was killed. Good job!" So, a few, I propose that the Party Committee of the Field Army give them credit."

Several chiefs who picked up the telegram and circulated it around said: "Boss, it's okay to ask for credit, but we have to wait and see if they have any more outstanding performances. Our independent brigade is good enough. You see, the telegram said that five infantry battalions and one reconnaissance battalion were used to attack and ambush the 258th Division. The howitzer battalion and heavy machine gun battalion with the strongest firepower in their brigade did not mention a word, and their brigade headquarters The tank unit directly under it didn't move at all, it seems that the independent brigade didn't pay attention to the cavalry of the 258th division at all."

Boss Peng had a rare laugh: "That's good. This shows that our old Liu has a very accurate vision and a thorough understanding of people, which is better than those of us who are in charge of war."

Commander Liu replied unceremoniously: "That's right, don't look at my old Liu who is in charge of eating and dressing. After spending a long time with you guys, he is almost smoked."

Boss Peng: "Since the independent brigade is so capable, we have saved a lot of trouble and informed Wang Huzi that his precious independent brigade is temporarily seconded to the headquarters of the field army, so that the independent brigade can deal with these cavalrymen of the Ma family army. It seems that they belong to the Ma family army. The horseshoes are strong, but the wheels of our independent brigade run faster."

Qinghai, Ma Bufang's official residence, a huge portrait of Generalissimo Chiang in military uniform hangs on the wall of the large conference room, and below is a large row of tables and officers sitting in full dress.

Although Ma Bufang is actually a local local warlord, the local emperor who dominates Qinghai, but in name he is still a Communist general under the leadership of the Nationalist government. The portrait should be hung, and it should be hung, but only he knows what the status of the so-called leader is in his heart.

At this time, the warlord was so angry that he kept cursing the dead ghost Ma Desheng in his big meeting room: "Idiot, trash, I lost my life just to flatter Hu Zongnan, and even hired one of Lao Tzu's teachers in, dead!" Well, if I don’t die in the hands of the Communist army, I will have to kill him.”

A staff member said cautiously beside Ma Bufang: "Commander, just being angry is not the answer. Although the Northwest Communist Army has a small number, its combat effectiveness is different from before. The weapons and equipment have also been greatly improved. It is difficult to deal with it. Peng Dehuai's tactics are very cunning. , would you like to ask Ma Hongkui from Ningxia to cooperate as well, isn't he always thinking about being the military and political deputy chief of the Northwest, so he can't do nothing?"

Ma Bufang’s eyes were brightened by the staff’s suggestion. Yes, he and the Communist Army are desperately trying to watch the excitement. Ma Hongkui in Ningxia can’t watch the excitement. Hmph, he can do something: “Come here, send a report to the Ministry of National Defense. Our department requires the cooperation of the Ningxia army. Combat, gather forces to attack the Northwest Communist Army."

In Ningxia, Ma Hongkui frowned when he received the telegram from the Ministry of National Defense. He obviously didn't want to sacrifice his life for Hu Zongnan. The time to wipe out his Ningma was not easy, so he gritted his teeth and sent troops. Although Ma Hongkui had conflicts with Hu Zongnan and Ma Bufang, they were smaller than the conflicts with the Communist Army. The Majia Army and the Communist Army in Ningxia are not just a matter of conflict. , It's a sea of ​​blood and deep hatred. I think Ma Hongkui did a lot of hard work when he was besieged and suppressed the Red Army. Can the Communists not remember it?

In this way, the Kuomintang troops fighting against the Northwest Field Army in the Northwest region changed from the former Hu Zongnan Central Army to the Qinghai and Ningxia Erma local troops to cooperate with Hu Zongnan. The combined strength of the three forces exploded. The troops of the People's Liberation Army exceeded several times.

A strange phenomenon appeared. At the beginning of the fourth year, when the troops of the People's Liberation Army were on the offensive on the battlefields across the country, the strength of the Kuomintang troops in the Northwest battlefield once again occupied an absolute dominant position. The Northwest Field Army not only temporarily wiped out Without the enemy, he is also very dangerous.

Because of the continuous strength of the Northwest Field Army, the KMT's strength in the Northwest felt an unprecedented crisis. The Central Army and the local army were integrated together. The forces were unexpectedly twisted together, which put enormous pressure on the troops of the People's Liberation Army.

In order to effectively preserve its strength, the Northwest Field Army, under the leadership of Boss Peng, once again engaged in a guerrilla warfare with the enemy. Instead of fighting the enemy hard, it was looking for fighters in motion to wipe out the enemy.

Time passed little by little, and the Northwest Field Army continued to deal with the enemy under the absolute disadvantage. During this period, the independent brigade transferred to the headquarters played a unique role. Such a beautiful battle, but it also restrained the cavalry unit of the Second Northwest Horse Army. The cavalry of the Ma's Army knew that there was a unit in the PLA that was very fast and extremely powerful. It was Wang Zhen's unit of the Second Column of the Communist Army. In order to deal with their cavalry units, this made the cavalry of Ma's army be cautious when fighting, for fear of falling into the trap of the People's Liberation Army.

The general who led the two Majia armies in the joint battle was Ma Bufang's eldest son Ma Jiyuan, who was also the commander of the 82nd Division reorganized by the Kuomintang. Ma Jiyuan was a rising star of the Majia army in the Northwest. , so be very cautious when fighting. There is no need to never fight hard with the PLA. This has prevented the Independent Brigade from finding very favorable fighters. There are not many, but the Field Army Headquarters asked them to be responsible for the task of containing the enemy's cavalry, which can be regarded as a good completion.

By February of the fourth year, the People's Liberation Army had achieved absolute dominance on the battlefields across the country. Most of the main military groups of the Kuomintang were wiped out, leaving only the Bai Chongxi Group in Guangxi, the troops of Hu Zongnan and Sanma in the Northwest, and several large isolated military strongholds.

According to the order of the Party Central Committee and the Central Military Commission, starting from February [-], the Northwest Field Army was officially renamed the First Field Army of the People's Liberation Army. Kui Yao served as chief of staff, Gan Siqi served as director of the political department, and Liu Jingfan served as deputy logistics commander.The original columns were changed to corps, and brigades were changed to divisions.

The former First Column of the Northwest Field Army was changed to the First Army of the Chinese People's Liberation Army, with He Bingyan as the commander and Liao Hansheng as the political commissar. The 358th Brigade, the Independent First Brigade, and the Sixth Brigade under its jurisdiction were successively changed to the First, Second, and First Brigades of the Chinese People's Liberation Army. three divisions.

The former Second Column of the Northwest Field Army was changed to the Second Army of the Chinese People's Liberation Army, with Guo Peng as its commander and Wang Enmao as its political commissar.

The former Third Column of the Northwest Field Army was changed to the Third Army of the Chinese People's Liberation Army. Huang Xinting served as the army commander and Zhu Ming served as the political commissar.

The former Fourth Column of the Northwest Field Army was changed to the Fourth Army of the Chinese People's Liberation Army. Zhang Dazhi served as the army commander and Zhang Zhongliang served as the political commissar. .

The former Northwest Field Army column was changed to the 18st Army of the Chinese People's Liberation Army, and Luo Yuanfa served as the army commander and political commissar. The teaching brigade under his jurisdiction and the newly organized [-]th Brigade were successively changed to the [-]th and [-]th Divisions of the Chinese People's Liberation Army. Later, the No. .[-] Division.

The former Seventh Column of the Northwest Field Army was changed to the Seventh Army of the Chinese People's Liberation Army, with Peng Shaohui as the commander and Sun Zhiyuan as the political commissar. The Independent Tenth Brigade, the No.12 Brigade, and the North China Military Region's Independent Fifth Brigade were successively changed to the National People's Liberation Army. Ten, twenty, twenty-one divisions.

The former Eighth Column of the Northwest Field Army was changed to the Eighth Army of the Chinese People's Liberation Army. Yao Jiji served as the commander and political commissar. The army does not have the No.11 fourth division designation.

For historical reasons, there has never been a 24th division designation. The subsequent troop designations started from the No. 20 fifth division. The 25th, 27th, and [-]th divisions were the three divisions of the People's Liberation Army's [-]st Army, which were compiled by the Kuomintang troops of the Xinjiang Uprising. This is all something later, the adaptation in February of the fourth year does not have the number of the first army.

When it was reorganized in February of the fourth year, the Northwest Field Army, that is, there were seven armies in the establishment of the First Field Army, but the Seventh Army and the Eighth Army only belonged to the One Field Army, and the troops were not in northern Shaanxi at all. Therefore, the First Field Army at that time The troops that can be used are still the former five columns, and the later five armies
