The beacon of youth

[No pop-up novel reading!] Chapter 463 is full of joy

The three main armies of Hu Zongnan of the Kuomintang were completely wiped out by the Northwest Field Army. The remnants have less than 10 people, and their strength is declining. With this strength, it is no less than a dream to fight against the People's Liberation Army. There is no way to bring Hu Zongnan with the demoralized troops After retreating to the Qinling Mountains, after wandering in the Qinling Mountains for several days, they continued to retreat southward along the Sichuan-Shaanxi Highway.

As soon as Hu Zongnan left, there was no Kuomintang army in the Guanzhong area. The Xilan Highway and the Longhai Railway were completely open to the PLA. The desert was solitary, the long river was sunset, and the distant Northwest had been exposed to the front of the Northwest Field Army. under attack

Seeing that Hu Zongnan's general trend was gone, the Qing and Ning Ma allied forces immediately took action. In order to preserve their strength and avoid the fate of being wiped out, Hu Zongnan's central army retreated northward after retreating to the Qinling Mountains. The two troops that belonged to the Kuomintang army's combat sequence parted ways , Going further and further away, the joint combat plan planned by Chairman Jiang and his staff with the goal of regaining Xi'an by Hu Zongnan and the Allied Forces of the Two Horses was completely shattered.

Thanks to the efforts of Mr. Peng and the leaders of the field army, after this battle, not only the main force of the Kuomintang’s central army was wiped out, but also the Ma Bufang and Ma Hongkui families who had been entrenched in Northwest China for hundreds of years were also completely isolated.

The Battle of Fumei completely froze the relationship between the KMT's Hu Zongnan and the Erma coalition forces. Hu Zongnan's Central Army filed a complaint with the Nationalist Fu that the Erma coalition forces would not help when the main force of the People's Liberation Army encircled and wiped out the Communist Party of China, and they had no awareness of the friendly forces at all. And the heart of honor and disgrace, while the two-horse coalition forces are biting back. The central army in the army is trash and useless, and they can't help fighting at all. Not only did the so-called joint operations formulated by the Ministry of National Defense not achieve any results, but they almost took their troops as well. go in

At this time, the National Government, which moved to Guangzhou, was already crumbling and overwhelmed, and had no time to deal with these dog-biting matters. Acting President Li Zongren devoted all his energy to fighting against Chiang Kai-shek in Taiwan. Maybe it’s because he doesn’t have the ability to care about it, or he doesn’t want to care about it at all. Hu Zongnan, who was born in Huangpu, has never paid attention to Li Zongren of the Guangxi family. late

The Kuomintang government called the Battle of Fumei the Battle of Guanzhong. The introduction is as follows: The main decisive battle included Longdong, Ningxia and the Fifth Corps. Although there were many soldiers, there was no unified command. Knowing that the supporters are self-respecting, suspicious of each other, and fighting on their own, unwilling to lose their respective forces, they retreated in the event of a small setback in a local area, so as to affect the overall situation, and fell short. Retreat without knowing the magnificence of Peng Dehuai's reinforcements, just as the art of war says, if you don't know your enemy or yourself, you will lose every battle

The post-event conclusions of the Kuomintang always seem to be very reasonable, but no matter how reasonable they are, they are just hindsight, and the general situation is irreversible.

In July 23.49, the National Government, which moved to Guangzhou, promulgated a currency reform order, and at the same time issued the "Issuance Measures for Silver Dollars and Silver Dollar Exchange". There are five types, namely, 1, 5, 10, 50, and 100. The [-] million yuan of gold coins used to circulate in the past can be exchanged for the current silver yuan.

The concept of [-] to [-] makes the lives of ordinary people miserable, and the golden scrolls exchanged with sweat and painstaking efforts have become a pile of waste paper, and officials have shamelessly plundered the wealth of the people. A government that claims to be orthodox has completely lost popular support

The central government of the Kuomintang is still busy with currency reform, but a PLA unit is making a fortune in the northwest. This unit that has made a fortune again is an independent brigade of the Second Army. As the saying goes, how much is paid In the Battle of Fumei, two battalions of the independent brigade suffered relatively large losses. One was the tank battalion, which fought desperately with the enemy when it broke through and consolidated its positions, resulting in heavy casualties.

The second is the heavy howitzer battalion. In order to suppress the enemy's artillery fire, the soldiers of the artillery battalion gave up the old tradition of fighting guerrillas and fought a hard-to-hard artillery battle with the artillery units of the Kuomintang. The cost is indeed not small, not to mention the casualties, the artillery alone lost more than ten mn, and the battalion commander Gao Xiang was anxious to jump into the river and hang himself. For this reason, the brigade commander Li Yong, in order to supplement the artillery battalion and the tank battalion, Order the troops to seize more tanks and cannons when cleaning the battlefield, nng the same ones is considered a great achievement

The soldiers who have tasted the sweetness know the importance of these weapons and equipment, and everyone understands that if there is no tank battalion and artillery battalion, the loss of the independent brigade in the Battle of Fumei is still unknown, at least the casualties will be doubled

Efforts always pay off. The independent brigade cleaned the battlefield like wild wolves and gained a lot. While seizing a large number of weapons and ammunition, they also captured more than a dozen tanks and more than [-] mn cannons. The artillery was led by Gao Xiang. Nng came back in person, not only made up for the loss, but also allowed the total number of artillery in the artillery battalion to exceed [-]mn

The artillery battalion with more than 100 mn artillery is so powerful that it is shocking. It is enough to divide it into two artillery regiments in the old Northwest Field Army. Unfortunately, although the total number of artillery exceeds 150 mn, but The brigade commander Li Yong asked everyone to pay more attention to the large-caliber heavy artillery that did not have a single mn, and not even a single shell. Up to [-] rounds of shells, the [-]mn artillery was strictly forbidden to be used by Li Yong's order. Training is okay, but live ammunition is not allowed to be used. Why not let it be used? Li Yong didn't say, and the soldiers didn't ask, anyway, the brigade commander There must be a reason for what Jean does, and there must be a reason for it. Therefore, in normal times, the five mn cannon fighters can only watch and treasure, and they don't even have mn if they want to use it.

The captured tanks were the result of the joint efforts of all the soldiers of the Independent Brigade. The drivers of these tanks were chased by the soldiers led by Jiang Tiexiong and Li Yiming. If you don't win, you have no choice but to surrender

The soldiers rejoiced, but Li Yong didn't think it was very good. In Li Yong's opinion, the seizure of more than a dozen tanks was not small, but there was no good one. Don't worry about 4, even the m3 Stu There are not many Yate, most of them are spoils of war when the Japanese army surrendered. Some tanks don’t even have artillery, and the weapons are only a few on-board machine guns. The armor is also pitifully thin. The large-caliber anti-aircraft guns of Wei Gang and his battalion can penetrate the armor of these small tanks

Wang Chengde, the political commissar, knew that Li Yong didn't like the junk he received from the little devil, so he smiled and persuaded him: "Dayong, contentment, although the little devil's tank is not very good, it is still called a tank anyway? Don't care if it is a five-ton or a tank. The seven-ton ones are as effective as the cavalry of the Majia Army."

Wang Chengde's persuasion brightened Li Yong's heart, and Li Yong thought, yes, in the future, the main opponent of the Northwest Field Army will no longer be the Central Army of the Kuomintang Hu Zongnan, but the cavalry of the two-horse coalition army. These captured tanks It's not great, but it's good enough against cavalry

In addition to these seemingly large tanks and artillery, the brigade commander Li Yong has always been thinking about the army's communication equipment. Under deliberate calculations, the wireless walkie-talkies of the independent brigade have also been equipped to the first-level combat units. Yong's original plan was that each infantry squad should have a walkie-talkie so that the infantry squad leader could directly call for fire support from the rear during a battle. Now it seems that it is still very difficult to achieve this.

After the war, all kinds of work are extremely cumbersome, not to mention anything else, it is enough to make people busy for a while, but fortunately, the soldiers know what they are doing, and everyone can see who is doing well. Among the ten combat battalions, the tank battalion, the howitzer battalion, and the high-gun battalion contributed the most. Although the other battalions performed well, there was still a gap compared with these three battalions. Li Jiangguo, Ma Changsheng, etc. The veterans all agree with the contributions of these three battalions, including He Cuihua, the trainer of the supply battalion, who is also convinced that the task of robbing belongs to the task of robbing, and the credits won by others cannot be robbed

The most outstanding personal performance is also unanimously recognized by everyone as the instructor of the tank battalion, Li Yiming. In the same year as Li Yong, Li Yiming, a 21-year-old young man from Shaanxi, became a battle hero known throughout the army.

The special performance of the Independent Brigade also caused the Corps and the Field Army Party Committee to issue a commendation order. The commendation order of the Field Army reads as follows:

The Independent Brigade of the Second Army was used twice in the Battle of Fumei, and both of them defeated the powerful enemy. Especially in the battle of defending Luoju Town, they fought against the enemy's combined ground and air forces. The strategy and tactics have made great contributions to the people's army. The party committee of the field army hereby commends and informs the whole army

Peng Peng, First Field Army of the Chinese People's Liberation Army

It was a commendation order jointly signed by Mr. Peng and Political Committee Xi. What an honor it was. More than 1000 people from the Independent Brigade rejoiced, and the soldiers were overjoyed. Drink a little to be happy, and Wang Chengde, the political commissar who has always been rigorous, surprisingly did not object to this plan. He just told the soldiers that it is okay to drink a little wine, but not too much. If it affects the execution of tasks, they will be dealt with.

Wang Chengde's performance made the soldiers feel strange, and the soldiers all said: "Hey, what's wrong with the political commissar? Why don't you object to our drinking?"
