Chapter 437 The Stupid 82nd Army

The fearless Majiajun cavalry rushed up and slashed at the tank with sabers. Every time the knife slashed on the armor of the tank, sparks burst out in the dark night.

The instructor of the tank battalion, Li Yinming, was sitting in the car and laughed. He's fucking, he really used knives to hack the tanks. The gangsters like Ma Jiajun are so stupid: "Order the cars, don't shoot them, Since Ma's army likes to use sabers to fight our tanks in melee, let's play with them, crush them to death, and see how arrogant these bastards are."

Under Li Yinming's order, the rumbling tanks turned, crushing all the cavalry who rushed to the vicinity to death with their tracks, crashing and crushing, and the whole land was covered with blood and mud.

(At the beginning of World War II, the German armored group launched a blitzkrieg against the Netherlands. The Dutch field marshal at that time used his cavalry to deal with tanks. The result is known without thinking. On the Northwest battlefield, the ignorant and backward Ma’s army did this. not surprising)

Crushing, crushing, when the ground was full of wailing Majiajun soldiers, these guys who were used to being rampant in Qinghai and Ningxia finally couldn't control the fear in their hearts, and ran back howling.

Several officers ran into the headquarters of the 82nd Army in a hurry. These officers shouted at Ma Jiyuan: "Army seat, military seat, withdraw, the communist army's offensive is too fierce, we can't resist the attack of tank troops .”

Ma Jiyuan's mouth was trembling: "Just withdraw like this? How do you explain to the old commander when you withdraw? How can you explain to the old commander after so many casualties?"

An officer persuaded: "Military seat, there is no way to do this. We are not suitable for fighting with the communist army. Now we don't have effective weapons against tanks. It will be futile to increase the casualties of our brothers if we continue to resist." That's all, withdraw, leave the green hills, and don't worry about burning out."

Another officer said: "Military seat, it is the independent brigade of the Second Army of the Communist Army who came to Xianyang for reinforcements. It is the army that is fighting with us outside Baoji City. It is very difficult to deal with."

Ma Jiyuan opened his mouth wide: "The Second Army? It is the former Second Column of the Communist Army. It is Wang Zhen's army."

When Ma Jiyuan talked about Wang Zhen, his body couldn't help shaking, and he couldn't control it even if he wanted to. This was the fear in his blood, he—— was afraid.

,

General Wang Zhen is so powerful in the Northwest, that one person's name is worth [-] troops. This is definitely not a lie, but the general accumulated little by little military exploits in the blood and fire.

"Retreat." Ma Jiyuan gritted his teeth and said the word. When he heard that Wang Zhen's troops had arrived, his last nerve couldn't bear the huge pressure, and finally made up his mind to retreat.

Ma's army is a unit started by a local warlord. It is indeed fierce in battle, but its use of strategy and tactics is far from enough. When attacking, it can rush forward with courage, but when retreating, it is out of order, especially When the beaten lose their helmets and armor, the so-called retreat at this time is no different from running away.

This characteristic of the Kuomintang army is very common. It can attack but not retreat. The central army is better, and the local miscellaneous troops are nothing. It was like this during the War of Resistance, and it was still like this when it confronted the PLA in the War of Liberation. , basically no progress, and when retreating, they scrambled to be the first to collapse.

Tens of thousands of troops ran back together, and no one wanted to pull behind to fight the People's Liberation Army. After all, they couldn't fight, how could rifles and sabers fight against tanks?Anyone who is not a fool can figure it out.

The Independent Brigade chased after them fiercely. Ma Jiyuan's 82nd Army was almost as good as the [-]st Division of the People's Liberation Army. After fighting for a day and a half, they were almost exhausted. The Independent Brigade was also a bargain. The counterattack of the independent brigade was defeated as soon as it came into contact with the sharp knife troops of the independent brigade.

The army is defeated like a mountain. At this time, it depends on who is running fast, and whoever runs fast can survive. If you run slower, you will be crushed into a pancake by the PLA tanks.

,

Behind the tank battalion of the independent brigade are the infantry battalions. Under the leadership of their commanders, the troops of the nine battalions are desperately following up behind the tank battalion. Everyone knows that this is an opportunity to make meritorious deeds. Except for Wei Gang's machine gun battalion who mounted high-sh-machine guns on their own modified armored vehicles and fired, the other troops were pulled away by a long distance, unable to keep up with the speed of the tank battalion.

It is dangerous for an armored unit without infantry protection to attack alone, but Li Yong, the brigade commander, did not limit the speed of Jiang Tiexiong and Li Yinming. Because Li Yong knew very well that the Ma's army could not organize an effective counterattack against the tank troops. In other words, these troops of the Ma's army's local warlords did not know how to resist the impact of tanks at all. The old troops of the Northwest Field Army had never put so many tanks together. There is a precedent for investing in attacks, so these cavalry on horseback have no experience in fighting tanks at all.

More than 1 people from the Independent Brigade devoted themselves to the pursuit of the Majia Army. Li Yong, the brigade commander, knew the result well from the beginning of the battle. With the impact of the Independent Brigade, it is not difficult to defeat the 82nd Army of the local warlord. The most important thing is how to deal with the Kuomintang Central Army behind the 82nd Army, so Li Yong, who was sitting in the command car, didn't pay much attention to the 82nd Army at all, but used most of the reconnaissance battalion's reconnaissance against the Central Army middle.

Fortunately, the battle with the 82nd Army progressed very quickly, and it was estimated that it would take less than three hours to end the battle, which gave Li Yong sufficient confidence.

Two hours later, Li Yong called Jiang Tiexiong, the battalion commander of the tank battalion, and Li Y-ming, the instructor, and Li Yong told them that it was almost over, so there was no need to chase them any more, and they retreated the same way.

Dozens of tanks and armored vehicles were emitting black smoke from their buttocks. The driver who received the order pushed the stick with his right hand, and the tanks turned around beautifully on the spot and returned to the position where the attack was initiated.

Li Yong had multiple considerations for not allowing the troops to chase after the 82nd Army. First, he had to worry about whether the Kuomintang Central Army would reinforce the 82nd Army. The second reason was that cavalry accounted for a large proportion of Ma’s army’s troops, and the troops retreated very quickly. , the cavalry has an advantage that the infantry cannot compare to. They are also very fast when fleeing. The cross-country speed of the old-fashioned tanks is not much faster than that of the horses. The order is for the Independent Brigade to cooperate with the [-]st Division to ensure the safety of the Xianyang defense line. It is not enough to just think about making yourself happy.

Wang Chenghan, the commander of the [-]st Division, went out of the city to meet the triumphant return of the Independent Brigade. Boss Peng had told him the number of the reinforcements, and Wang Chenghan yelled in front of mn: "Hey, comrades, who are you?" Is it the commander of the reinforcements? Who is Brigadier Li Yong?"

Li Yong jumped out of the jeep, came to Wang Chenghan and raised his hands in salute: "Mr. Wang, I am Li Yong, the brigade commander of the Second Army's Independent Brigade."

The level of the independent brigade was as high as that of the division, and the brigade commander and division commander at that time were not divided into big and small. Li Yong saluted Mr. Wang not because of his position, but because he respected him as a senior.

Master Wang looked Li Yong up and down a few times, knowing that this man in front of him is a leathery figure in the Northwest Field Army, so he must pay more attention to see how he is different from others.

Wang Chenghan didn't mean that Li Yong was young and underestimated. This veteran commander thought about it, such a young brigade commander?Not to mention in the Northwest Field Army, even in the North China Field Army, there is no second one, and the battle is also very good. No wonder Boss Peng admires this young man very much, it must be the reason.

Looking at the clothes and weapons and equipment of the soldiers of the Independent Brigade, Master Wang couldn't even close his mouth. Is this the team of the poor and scumbag Northwest Field Army?If such a team is still called the poor, what is the rich like?Is this wrong?

Li Yong seemed to have seen through Mr. Wang Chenghan's thoughts: "Mr. Wang, we are not all poor people in the whole family. It was a thing in the past that we didn't have enough food and clothing. We can't always look at the old Huang Li."

Teacher Wang laughed loudly: "Brigade Commander Li, you are right, the old Huangli can't be read, and our [-]st Division can be regarded as more than a day early in Xianyang, so we are considered landlords. You catch the wind."

The troops of the two People's Liberation Army that had entered the city had just settled down, and the situation of the reconnaissance was reported. The defeated 82nd Army did not flee to the area where the Kuomintang Central Army was stationed, but retreated all the way west, along the Xilan Highway. They retreated around their hometown in Qinghai.

The actions of the 82nd Army showed that Ma’s army had completely lost confidence in the Central Army. More than a day later, the Nationalist Government received a battle report from the Xianyang area. They didn't want to regain Xi'an and Xianyang, but they watched the excitement when Ma's troops fought the most intensely with the communist army, and they didn't give them a hand when they retreated, let alone any reinforcements.

The Central Army did not show any weakness. They responded to Ma's army's defeat because Ma Jiyuan and his troops were greedy for meritorious service and did not greet the Central Army when they had something to do. They deserved their defeat.

Just when the two Kuomintang troops were biting each other, the main force of the 61st Army arrived in Xi'an. As a result, the total strength of the PLA on the front line in Xi'an reached about 5 people in four divisions. The defense of Xianyang has completely eliminated the criticism of insufficient military strength. Hu Zongnan and Ma Bufang's dream of regaining Xi'an has become a dream.

The sky is covered with large cloud clusters, and the sun's rays sh-sh-out from the gaps in the cloud clusters, throwing golden beams of light beams sh- onto the land in the northwest, gusts of wind blowing, faintly coming from the ancient city of Xi'an Wind chimes on the bell tower.

The high-level meeting of the First Field Army is being held in the mansion of Yang Hucheng, the former general of the Northwest Army. The soldiers of the People's Liberation Army who have been drilling the ravine all the year round reported to their superiors as soon as they occupied this mansion.
