The beacon of youth

Chapter 42o

Everyone knows that the second army of the first field is the second column of the Northwest Field Army. Of course, the head of this elite chariot regiment has also heard of it. Seeing that the PLA officer who greeted him introduced himself as a commander of the first level of the brigade, Jiang Tiexiong was busy. Raise your hands in salute: "Hello, sir, it turns out to be General Wang Zhen's troops. I have admired your name for a long time. I have admired your name for a long time."

General Wang Zhen is so powerful in the Northwest. This Jiang Tiexiong is telling the truth, but just looking at this officer of the People's Liberation Army, he feels a little too young. I guess he is just in his early twenties. At this age, he can be a member of an independent brigade. long?is it possible?But Jiang Tiexiong is also a smart man. Although the commander who greeted him is too young, he can't pretend to be a senior PLA commander. Looking at the attitude of the surrounding soldiers towards Li Yong, he is indeed from the PLA. Senior Commander, this cannot be faked.

Jiang Tiexiong was in his 30s, not tall but stocky. Although he was not very old, he looked a bit old among the many 20-something commanders in the Independent Brigade.

After the two sides sat down, Li Yong glanced up and down the military ranks of the negotiators who came over, and opened his mouth and said, "Only one major came? What does your commander Jiang mean? Why didn't he come over in person?"

Jiang Tiexiong didn't expect that the officer of the People's Liberation Army on the opposite side could know the name of his small regiment commander: "Dare to ask, sir, you also know the name of our regiment commander?"

Li Yong: "The elite of the Communist Party, the heroes of the Anti-Japanese War, why can't they know? The Second Chariot Regiment is a good unit, but it's a pity that it was not born at the right time."

A few words touched Jiang Tiexiong and the officers who came to negotiate. The officers and soldiers of the Chariot Regiment were selected from many people. Not only must they be in good health, they must also be educated. This is somewhat similar to the 2o3 Division of the Youth Army.

Li Yong went on to say: "Several, the policy of our People's Liberation Army is very clear. There are several names or ways to treat Jiang's army personnel. One is uprising, the other is surrender, and the third is surrender. It is obvious that your Second Chariot Regiment is not in line with this policy." The first two conditions, so the only way out for you is to surrender. There are several ideas why we didn't attack immediately. One is that you admire your Second Chariot Regiment as a good army. It is a pity to destroy it, and the other is that it will affect the city. This is why the common people have not acted for a long time."

The brigade commander Li Yong's tone was very strong, and he didn't give these representatives any chance to negotiate?It depends on when, surrounded by our People's Liberation Army like iron barrels, there is nothing to negotiate, let them come to save face.

Seeing that the representatives of the Second Chariot Regiment who came over did not speak, Li Yong went on to say: "Several, I guess you should still have the order from Commander Jiang, do you want to see how strong our People's Liberation Army is? Then decide what to do with you, since this is the case, I will let you have a look and let you understand why your tank regiment was not eliminated immediately, let’s go, I will take you to have a look.”

The purpose of Li Yong's doing this is to intimidate the negotiators of the Kuomintang, so that they will not have any fluke and all-or-nothing mentality. As for the firepower configuration of the independent brigade, it doesn't matter if they look at it. In front of him, let the chariot group in the palm of his hand know so what.

A group of more than a dozen people, Li Yong and Wang Chengde took the representatives of the Second Chariot Regiment and walked around the positions of the battalions and companies of the Independent Brigade. What are we doing here?

It took more than half an hour to walk down a large circle, and this was just an overview. Jiang Tiexiong and several officers became more and more frightened and surprised as they walked. The weapons and equipment of the Independent Brigade made them feel terrified. The troops are not only equipped with infantry weapons, but also have a large number of anti-tank weapons.

Jiang Tiexiong and several officers felt that a string in their heads was a bit misplaced. Is this still nothing?This is simply richer than **.

Wang Chengde, the political commissar, saw the surprised eyes of several people, so he explained casually: "Our PLA was very poor at the beginning, but after two or three years of development, there have been earth-shaking changes, and this is all thanks to you. Thank you, the weapons in the hands of our soldiers are all seized from the hands of the Communist Party, so in our People's Liberation Army, Chiang Kai-shek also has someone called the captain of the transportation team."

Wang Chengde's explanation made the guards and soldiers who followed him laugh out loud, while Jiang Tiexiong and the others were blushing. Li Yong also found it quite interesting. Old Wang seldom speaks like this. Not only are his words sharp, but also sarcasm in his sarcasm .

In fact, Wang Chengde did this entirely to cooperate with Li Yong, and used the tone of inadvertent explanation to dissuade the confidence of several negotiators from the Second Chariot Regiment. This is the ability of the political workers of the PLA.

Li Yong asked as he walked, "All of you are armored soldiers. Tell me, if we attack, how long can your chariot regiment last?"

After thinking for a while, Jiang Tiexiong seriously replied: "Report sir, I guess I can last for about an hour."

Li Yong laughed loudly: "You are telling the truth, but you still overestimate the strength of your tank regiment. With the combat effectiveness of our brigade, if you can rush out of the city, the tank regiment still has a slight hope of escape. In the city, there is no chance of winning. There is no infantry to fight together. If you fight street battles in the city, it is your best result if you can persist for an hour. Okay, let me show you our other positions. Come on People, prepare some cars."

Jiang Tiexiong and a few others were choked back by Li Yong's few words. The chief of the People's Liberation Army, despite his young age, is a sensible person, and he can clearly see the advantages and disadvantages of the armored force.

Brigadier Li Da took these people in a few jeeps and went straight out of the city gate, and arrived at Gao Xiang's howitzer camp in a short time.

Not all the independent brigades were pulled into the city. The heavy-fire howitzer battalion was deployed a few kilometers outside the city. After defeating the 57th Army, Gao Xiang got another windfall. He brought back more than a dozen large and small artillery pieces. , now there are more than 1 5 howitzers arranged outside the city, and this is not counting five precious 60mm German-made howitzers. .

After viewing the howitzer position, Li Yong asked the negotiators again: "How is it? The shooting elements have been adjusted, and the target is the station of your tank regiment. Once our howitzer position fires, can your tank regiment How long will it last?"

Jiang Tiexiong stuttered a little: "Sir, sir, I guess I can, I can last for half an hour."

Li Yong glanced at these people: "You don't have to talk to us anymore. To be honest, you don't have the qualifications. Go back and tell you Captain Jiang. I will give him another hour. After an hour, we will When the People's Liberation Army launches an attack, your tank regiment will be completely wiped out at that time, do you understand?"

Jiang Tiexiong and several officers who came to negotiate looked at each other, and Jiang Tiexiong said again: "Sir, to be honest, I am Jiang Tiexiong. I have made a decision. Our Second Chariot Regiment surrenders to your army, we surrender."

Li Yong and Wang Chengde looked at each other, and both of them saw joy in each other's eyes. This is called a soldier who surrenders without fighting. He brought back a tank regiment without firing a single shot, and the independent brigade got rich again. Still a huge windfall.

Li Yong patted Jiang Tiexiong on the shoulder: "Is that right? Just come here. We are good brothers when we come here. What about fighting or not? Comrade Jiang Tiexiong, I welcome you on behalf of the Independent Brigade of the Second Army of the Chinese People's Liberation Army. "

Brigadier Li Da's words stunned Jiang Tiexiong, calling him comrade so soon?This, this head is a little dizzy.

A few comrades called Jiang Tiexiong and others into a daze until they got into the jeep and walked back. When they returned to the headquarters of the Independent Brigade, Li Yong told Jiang Tiexiong very familiarly that our PLA's time is very short. It's urgent, you guys hurry back and organize the handover of the troops. You must take good care of all kinds of weapons, equipment and spare fuel, and there must be no loss.

So far, Li Yong's plan has been going smoothly. Jiang Tiexiong unfurled a few white flags from the garrison of the Second Chariot Regiment within a short time after returning. The officers and soldiers of the whole regiment put down their weapons and came out collectively. He walked to the large playground assembly under his gaze.

The soldiers are happy, they did not fire a single shot into the city of Xi'an, and this is another tank regiment that was brought back without firing a single shot. The soldiers rushed up, and the soldiers thought, good guy, we have to take a good look at the tanks of the Kuomintang army, look at these iron guys, no, they are not the tanks of the Kuomintang now, but the tanks of our People's Liberation Army, what, who? If you dare to mess with these precious pieces of iron, I will be impatient with him.

He Cuihua and Sun Quanhou also ran over with their ledgers in their hands. Old Sun's eyes were blue, and he kept muttering: "They are all good things, they are all good things, and they are all treasures of our People's Liberation Army. They are all registered and manufactured. book, hurry up."

Jiang Tiexiong led a large group of officers and quickly walked up to the brigade commander Li Yong and political commissar Wang Chengde: "Report, sir, the Second Chariot Regiment, the commander Jiang Tiexiong and the entire regiment surrendered to the People's Liberation Army."

After speaking, he took off his own gun and handed it to Li Yong with both hands. Li Yong took the gun and handed it to Jiang Tiexiong: "You don't need to hand over your gun. Give it to me as an assistant for a few days. What do you think?" Like? Li Yuming, bring the military uniform here."

Li Yuming handed Jiang Tiexiong a PLA uniform that he had prepared long ago. Li Yong's actions moved Jiang Tiexiong very much.
