The beacon of youth

Chapter 432 Defending Xianyang's Attack and Advance

Jiang Tiexiong was also very moved by the attitude of these young PLA commanders towards combat missions. These guys were thinking about how to fight all day long, and they were also thinking about how to fight. When they heard that a combat mission was coming, it was like smoking opium Not to mention the men, even the women in several brigades had their eyes lit up when they heard that there was a mission, especially that girl named He Cuihua. How could it not be great.

After announcing the order from the Field Army Headquarters, Li Yong continued: "Comrades, from the tone of the headquarter's telegram, we can see that the situation on the front line of our army in Xianyang is very critical. The distance between our brigade's current location and Xianyang is more than [-] kilometers. According to the marching speed of [-] kilometers per hour, it is expected to arrive in five or six hours. Therefore, I order everyone to master the troops when they go back, and use these five hours of marching time to come up with their own battalion. The sequence is, with the tank battalion as the first marching echelon, the battalions will follow up and the meeting will be adjourned."

Before coming to the meeting, these boys were quite dazed, sitting in the car all day and shaking around, how can they not be sleepy without any tasks?Immediately after Li Yong announced the order, he was in good spirits. Li Jiangguo, the commander of the first battalion, jumped eight feet high and yelled indiscriminately: "I said that, isn't it nonsense to let our brigade wander around all day long? This is the task of containing the enemy. It’s fine if there are other troops to do it. What is our brigade? Is it the main force? If you are the main force, you have to do something. I’m not wrong, am I? Hello? I said Ma Changsheng, am I right? ? Why don’t you say anything, you old brat?”

Ma Changsheng, the commander of the third battalion, cast a glance at Li Jiangguo: "There is nothing to say, we are going to clean up the gang of Ma Jiajun's scumbags. From the fight outside Baoji City to the 258th Division a few days ago, which time did we not let us What's so great about tidying up and obediently sticking to it?"

"Is what Ma Changsheng said right? Not only is it nothing special, but I can't get back much confiscated. I'm not interested in Ma's army's rotten guns and dead horses." The speaker was He Cuihua, the instructor and deputy battalion commander of the supply camp.

He Cuihua and Sun Quanhou were in charge of the entire brigade's supplies and supplies, and they had a deep understanding of the 258th Division that fought against the Ma's Army last time. They killed one division, but almost nothing was captured. I'm in a bad mood.

In fact, this kind of psychology is also easy to understand, just like a person who is used to robbing things, can rob good things every time, but if you let him rob a poor man, you really can't cheer up.

"They're all veterans, why don't you just say something worthless, what is nothing special, don't you understand the truth that a dead pig should be beaten like a live pig? It's not good to underestimate the enemy. We are not only going to deal with the 82nd Army of Ma's Army , Hu Zongnan’s Central Army is behind, the ugly words are in the front, whoever can’t beat me and the brigade commander will deal with it, go back quickly.” Seeing that the political commissar Wang Chengde spoke, the group stuck out their tongues and ran away.

After the meeting was adjourned, Li Yong left the battalion commander Jiang Tiexiong of the tank battalion, the instructor Li Yuming, and the company commander of the engineering company Xiaocheng alone. Li Yong pointed to the map and said to the two of them: "Pioneer, vanguard, go ahead if you have something to do, and open the way on the mountain." , Build bridges when encountering water, the tank battalion must open the way for the whole army, and think more about difficulties and solutions. I will assign the engineer company of the brigade headquarters to your battalion, and contact the brigade headquarters in time if there is anything, understand?"

The three stood in front of Li Yong in a row. Li Yuming, the instructor of the tank battalion, was the core of the three of them at this time. Complete the task and open the way for the whole army."

Li Yong nodded and asked Jiang Tiexiong: "Old Jiang, what else do you think?"

Li Yong was expressing his importance to Jiang Tiexiong. In any case, Jiang Tiexiong was an expert in armored forces, and he knew more about specific issues than Li Yuming, the instructor who had just taken office.

Jiang Tiexiong liked this feeling very much. The brigade commander didn't treat him as an outsider. Jiang Tiexiong also knew that the instructor Li Yuming was the company commander of the independent brigade guard company before he came to the tank battalion. Needless to say, he must be the brigade commander's most trusted confidant. Of course, people have to be careful when partnering.

Although Jiang Tiexiong wore the clothes of the People's Liberation Army, he still used the Kuomintang army's way of dealing with people to measure people: "Brigade Commander, I put four M4s at the front and let this platoon be the sharp knife of our brigade. I don't believe that the horses of the Ma family army can block the assault of our tanks."

Li Yong really did the right thing by wanting Jiang Tiexiong to be the battalion commander of the tank battalion. The decision made by this guy is much better than that of a layman. The m4 is the tank with the largest artillery caliber and the thickest armor in the independent brigade. This is the only tank in the whole brigade. Four, it is very suitable to put this tank in the front as a sharp knife.

Jiang Tiexiong really didn't pay attention to Ma Bufang's cavalry. In the Kuomintang army, the Central Army and the Ma Jiajun looked at each other at odds. It's just a matter of daring to go all out. These bumpkins' understanding of modern warfare is still in the semi-cold period of World War I. There is nothing terrible about such an army.

Li Yong finally turned his attention to Xiao Cheng, the company commander of the engineering company. Xiao Cheng was brought out by Li Yong and served as Li Yong's guard for a long time. The direct descendants of the army, the confidants of the confidantes: "Xiaocheng, engineers are not easy to do, not only dangerous, but also have to suffer a lot and work hard, and it is even more difficult to assign them to tank troops. We must ensure that our armored troops are from the marching area. Passed smoothly, can it be done?"

Xiao Cheng has been following Li Yong since he became a soldier. Except for the first twenty or so veterans, he, San Niu and others are considered to be the oldest soldiers in the independent brigade. The brigade commander is his idol and goal. After I became the company commander, I spent less time with the brigade commander, but the feeling of life and death brothers and comrades has not changed: "Brigade commander, don't worry, as long as our engineering company is with us, our tanks will definitely be allowed to pass by. Roads go over my head and let tanks go."

This is the momentum, what is the army fighting for?It is this courageous momentum that is fighting. The statements of Xiao Cheng and Li Yuming made Jiang Tiexiong very tempted and moved. The soldiers of the People's Liberation Army are different from the Kuomintang. Ke's tone, if you can do it, you have to do it, and if you don't, you have to do it.

Li Yong, who has been a man for two generations, can somewhat understand Jiang Tiexiong's current mentality. It will take some time for Jiang Tiexiong to fully integrate into the big family of the People's Liberation Army. However, it is not difficult. There are more than 1000 people in the brigade. There can be a few real old eighth roads, most of them are prisoners of the Kuomintang army, and not all of them have become soldiers of our People's Liberation Army.

The independent brigade with more than 1 horses turned around in a short time after receiving the order from the superior, and attacked in the direction of Xianyang. The tank battalion with the strongest attack power in the brigade was placed in the front by the brigade commander Li Yong. More than 40 tanks and more than [-] armored vehicles opened the way in the front. The formation was thrilling, and the dust picked up by the tank tracks was like a billowing black dragon.

Li Yuming walked at the front of the battalion with four M4 tanks. The newly appointed instructor of the tank battalion told the battalion commander Jiang Tiexiong that our PLA troops are always led by commanders. Our battalion is the sharp knife of the whole brigade. I brought the This tank platoon is the sharp knife of the whole battalion.

The commanders and fighters of the People's Liberation Army are touched by every bit of this battalion commander Jiang Tiexiong, who has just surrendered not long ago. Jiang Tiexiong is not a new recruit who just joined the army. After watching Fat Pig Run, he is very clear about the position of the trainer in the PLA. The trainer is as old as the battalion commander in the battalion, and he is still the secretary who has the final decision-making power in the general branch of the party. However, if the troops with sharp knives go up first, how can the troops of the People's Liberation Army have no combat effectiveness.

About one kilometer in front of Li Yuming's tank platoon is a platoon of the reconnaissance battalion. This platoon is the front-rowing squadron of the brigade. Nearly 100 soldiers are sitting in more than a dozen American jeeps. Each vehicle is pulled apart. At a distance of more than 20 meters, a combat team was launched to search and move forward.

When the reconnaissance battalion was marching, a platoon was placed on the front, back, left, and right sides of the whole brigade as a small reconnaissance and search unit. The front team not only had to undertake the search task but also lead the way for the large troops, so the task of this platoon seemed to be very important.

Leading this line at the front and leading the way for the entire army is the reconnaissance hero of the Independent Brigade, a platoon of Chang Ning Erzi, and the platoon of Er Zi has recently recruited a lot of soldiers. Each soldier is personally selected by the platoon leader Ning Erzi. The one who is not eye-catching is not wanted, because of this Battalion Commander Zhang Jinsong almost kicked him, but Erzi Ning said, when I was a soldier, you were picked by the Battalion Commander, why are you not allowed to pick me now?Zhang Jinsong, who had no other choice, had no choice but to follow Ning Erzi's temper.

,

Ning Erzi sat in the car and checked the terrain while telling the soldiers driving beside him to hold down the speed, too fast will not work, and too slow will not work.

The marching speed of the whole brigade of the Independent Brigade is carried out according to the speed of Ning Erzi's platoon. Although the task of reinforcements is urgent, the specific situation of the troops must also be considered. For example, the heavy howitzer battalion, these big guys have to rely on cars If the road condition is not good and it is marching at night, the car will overturn and the cannon will be overturned. Therefore, the platoon leader Ning Erzi not only needs to look for the marching route to search for the enemy, but also has to worry about the marching speed of the entire army. After a while, I really can't do well as the reconnaissance platoon leader.

Looking back at the Xianyang front line, it was just getting dark after dinner, and it was probably around eight or nine o'clock in the evening. The [-]st Division, under the command of the division commander Wang Chenghan, started a counterattack against the Majia army outside the city.
