The beacon of youth

Chapter 418

The Kuomintang defenders in Xi'an were basically empty, except for the Second Tank Regiment, which had not been withdrawn in time due to heavy supplies. This made Jiang Tiexiong, the head of the regiment who was hesitating to borrow cars everywhere, furious, and took pictures in his regiment headquarters. Table curses.

An officer persuaded: "Regimental Commander, don't be angry, it's useless to be angry. I guess we may be the only regiment left in Xi'an. Throw away the luggage and throw it away. We will find the Second Young Master and the Chairman to supplement it later, or hurry up." It is important to retreat, but it will be troublesome once the large forces of the Communist Army come over."

Jiang Tiexiong let out a long sigh: "Brothers, I won't hide it from you at this time. In the past, it really didn't matter if we added something, and we could ask Shangfeng for what we lacked. But now the situation is different, Chairman He and the second son have already gone to Taiwan, and the national government has also moved to Guangzhou. In the government, the acting president Li Zongren and the little Zhuge Bai Chongxi of the Guangxi faction are the ones who speak. Think about it, who else will support our second chariot regiment in the future? The materials we have on hand may be the last property of our regiment, and it will be difficult to replenish them."

Jiang Tiexiong's words made several officers in the regiment headquarters silent for a long time. They all knew that what the regimental commander said was true, and no one knew what the future of the chariot regiment would be.

Before leaving, Commander Hu Zongnan mobilized everyone to fight a guerrilla with the communist army, saying that he wanted to make great strides forward and retreat, but does the guerrilla war mean that it can be won by fighting?The Chinese Communists are the ancestors of guerrilla warfare. Besides, even if the chariot regiment can withdraw smoothly, where will they go to find supplies in the future?Go to the mountains to drill ravines like the previous Eight Routes?In that case, the tank is not as effective as a donkey cart in a common people's house.

Seeing that several people were silent, Jiang Tiexiong, the head of the group, cleared his throat, raised his voice and said, "Don't think about it, one step is one step, I don't believe that there is no place for you and my brother to eat in such a big world. There must be a way for the car to reach the mountain. As long as I, Jiang Tiexiong, have a mouthful of food, half of you will be indispensable. You guys hurry to organize troops, pick the most important ones to load on the car, and throw them away if they can’t fit. As long as our brothers are here , sooner or later there will be a better time."

It is very troublesome for the tank troops to move. Fuel, ammunition, repair tools and various accessories are indispensable. When the entire Second Tank Regiment was busy, a shocking news came. There are signs of activities of the Communist Army.

Xianyang is too close to Xi'an, as close as two feet on one foot. In history, Xianyang and Xi'an used to be a city, and the straight-line distance is only about [-] kilometers.

What is the concept of twenty kilometers?A few charges of the combat troops arrived, and Jiang Tiexiong's heart was in his throat. The communist army came too fast, and as soon as the ** troops withdrew their front feet, they came on their heels, following the march of the communist army. At a certain speed, it takes three hours to reach [-] kilometers, that is to say, there are only two or three hours left for the second tank regiment.

Jiang Tiexiong’s calculations were based on the speed of the People’s Liberation Army’s marching on foot. According to the footsteps of ordinary infantry, it would indeed take about three hours for [-] kilometers. Therefore, the head of Jiang’s regiment ordered the troops to load what could be loaded into vehicles immediately. We don't want any of them, and the troops must leave within two hours.

However, Commander Jiang has forgotten the independent brigade after all his calculations. He has no idea that there is such a unit in the Northwest People's Liberation Army that is fully capable of mechanized marching. Twenty kilometers is not at all for this unit. What an amazing distance.

While the Second KMT Chariot Regiment in Xi'an was still busy loading vehicles, the Independent Brigade of the People's Liberation Army was rushing towards Xi'an at the fastest speed. Li Yong ordered the avant-garde reconnaissance battalion to use all its strength and drive the car's horsepower to full capacity. , the sooner the better.

Zhang Jinsong's scouts reported to the brigade headquarters the movement of the enemy tank regiment every five or six minutes, and the self-defense corps had long been ignored by them.

Zhang Jinsong told Erzi Ning, who was still in the city, to focus on the Second Chariot Regiment, and let the public organizations in Xi'an treat them as if they didn't exist. No matter how many people like them, they didn't dare to compete with the large troops of our People's Liberation Army.

It must also be said that Zhang Jinsong, a soldier from the Eighth Route Army, considered all kinds of situations very thoughtfully. He sent two soldiers every few miles along the route of the Independent Brigade to pass on the situation at any time, so they were informed about the movement in Xi'an City. Can be mastered in the first time.

In the command vehicle, Li Yong kept urging the troops to speed up, hurry up, hurry up, hurry up, and block the second tank regiment back within the city.

Li Yuming, the company commander of the guard company, and Li Jia, the communications platoon leader, were in the same command vehicle with Li Yong. Li Yuming asked Li Yong with some incomprehension: "I said, comrade brigade commander, our brigade's speed is fast enough. It’s easy to roll over soon.”

Li Yong snorted: "What do you know, kid? You have to speed up when your car overturns. You must not let the enemy's tank troops go out of the city."

Li Yuming snorted in a low voice: "So what if we go out of the city? I don't believe they can beat our independent brigade?"

Ever since the independent brigade had modified armored vehicles, Li Yong's command vehicle has been integrated with the communication platoon. This is also to make it easier for the brigade headquarters to issue orders. The time with Li Yong.

Li Jia, a delicate girl, doesn't talk to Li Yong much except for work, so she couldn't hold back at this time and asked, "Brigade Commander, the road conditions in the area where we are marching are very bad. It’s almost the limit, and it’s really easy to get into trouble any faster, what should I do if the car overturns?”

Li Yong laughed: "It's very rare that our platoon leader Li Da also has doubts, so I will explain the reason to you. Don't think that the Kuomintang tank regiment has only one regiment of troops, but our whole brigade has come up, and there are two teams of the enemy and us. The size of the troops is not a level, and it is no problem to eliminate them."

When Li Yong said this, Li Yuming and Li Jia nodded frequently. That's what they thought, isn't it just a tank regiment?What's the big deal?The 2 Division of the Youth Army is good enough, but it is still cleaned up by us.

"Our brigade has fought many good and tough battles, but we must not underestimate the enemy. The strength of the armored force lies in the charge in the plains. Once we meet the enemy outside the city, it will be very troublesome. We don't have time to dig anti-tank trenches, and it is difficult for eight Stuarts to fight against the enemy's main battle tanks, so we can only rely on the infantry's anti-tank rocket launchers and the direct-pointing artillery of the artillery battalion. , The loss of our brigade is not small, and there is another point to consider. What are we doing in Xi'an? We didn't come to visit the mountains and rivers to see the scenic spots. Our goal is this tank regiment. Yet?"

Li Yuming was still a little unconvinced, and asked again: "What can I do if I'm stuck in the city? They won't resist in the city? It's not that simple?"

Li Yong: "Of course it's not that simple. The enemy may resist in the city, but the will to resist must be weaker than outside the city, because there are too many dead spots for firepower, tanks are not suitable for street fighting, and the power in the city is stronger than in the city. The outside of the city is too small, as long as we can occupy a favorable position first, it is useless for them to resist. Let me tell you another thing, the head of the Kuomintang Second Chariot Regiment is an expert in armored forces. It should also be very clear that we probably won’t be reckless, not only will we get the entire tank regiment back, but we will also get rid of this regiment leader, this guy is a treasure, hehehehe.”

Brigadier Li's sinister laughter made the girl Li Jia get goosebumps all over her body. This villain thought the same way when he dealt with me?You don't need to ask, just look at the eyes of Li Yuming and him working together.

Seeing Xianyang City, Li Yong became excited and ordered the troops to pass quickly from one side, and let the main force of the army do the entering the city.

It's not that he is happy because he wants to conquer this city. Xianyang is a good place, but it is far from Xi'an. Li Yong is excited that since he saw Xianyang City, he is not far from Xi'an.

In half an hour, the fully advanced independent brigade maneuvered from the Xianyang area to the city of Xi'an in just an hour. It was more than 20 kilometers, and in half an hour, there was no way to go faster according to the road conditions at the time. At this time, the reconnaissance battalion had already shot. Before letting go, several city gates were controlled, and soldiers from the reconnaissance battalion were everywhere above and below the city.

Xi'an is big, it's too big, the city walls alone are so tall, so high that some soldiers who have never traveled far are dizzy, and some soldiers said: "My god, it's so old. The high wall made me feel confused, how did the guys from the reconnaissance battalion get up there?"

Another said: "How did you go up? You have to climb up even if you are dizzy. Otherwise, the enemy only needs to put a few rows on it, and our brigade will have many casualties."

Seeing some people standing beside the city gate and welcoming slogans, the soldiers were a little confused. What's going on?Xi'an doesn't need to fight anymore?Someone came out to greet him without firing a shot?It's too easy too.

Zhang Jinsong ran over with a few soldiers: "Brigade Commander, our reconnaissance battalion has controlled a city gate hole, and the people from the Xi'an Self-Defense Corps are welcome. city, they handed over their guns and surrendered."

It’s no wonder that Xi’an’s self-defense corps surrendered. This is a semi-militarized, semi-civilian organization. It’s a miscellaneous brand in the Kuomintang army. Hu Zongnan ran away, and that bastard Yang Deliang also ran away, what else can we do?Fighting against the People's Liberation Army?Go to the police, we don't do such stupid things, and want Laozi to be dead ghosts?no way.

Thank you for your support and encouragement, thank you to my friends whose tail number is 1o1o, the old bus also has a helmsman, hehe, I am very happy.
