The beacon of youth

Chapter 469 Appetite Size

Waiting until almost midnight, the reconnaissance platoon of the Independent Brigade, Chang Ning Erzi, left most of the soldiers in the platoon in place, and he led a squad of soldiers along the mountain road and came back moaning. Ning Erzi, who returned to the brigade headquarters, used the enemy's firepower configuration map in his hand to introduce the situation to several leaders.

The second son Ning didn't notice the eyes of Li Yong and Wang Chengde. He pointed to the picture and introduced to them: Our platoon walked for several hours before we walked in from the back mountain. The road is very narrow, so we can only separate the troops Marching on the road, heavy weapons cannot pass through, but the terrain in this area is very hidden, and there are many trees for cover. The old man who led the way is quite familiar with the road, so he took us directly behind a hill not too far from the enemy headquarters. According to our reconnaissance, the enemy's troops deployed in the Guguan area were indeed the 1th Cavalry Brigade and the 1th Cavalry Division of the Qingma Army. Finally, the distance between the two troops was three to four kilometers. We also captured a prisoner. After interrogation, we learned that the enemy’s Eighth Cavalry Division is a pure cavalry unit. The division has more than 8000 people and more than 30 horses. , a few light weapons, but the [-]th Cavalry Brigade is very unusual. There are more than [-] people in the [-]th Cavalry Brigade. In addition to a full-staffed cavalry regiment, there is also a heavy machine gun battalion and an artillery battalion, equipped with more than [-] heavy machine guns and more than [-] artillery pieces. The firepower is much stronger than that of ordinary cavalry troops, and it is a tough opponent. .

The information brought back by Erzi Ning is very detailed. Li Yong still has some understanding of the [-]th Cavalry Brigade standing in the front. The fourth brigade, with its brave officers and soldiers, fought fiercely, and was deeply loved by Ma Bufang. In order to increase the combat effectiveness of this unit, Ma Bufang rarely allocated an extra heavy machine gun battalion and artillery battalion to the fourteenth brigade. The Great Northwest with extremely low production capacity is simply a remarkable thing.

This was also done to win over the hearts and morale of this army. However, Ma Bufang's different views on the 82th Brigade also made many people jealous. Only one more artillery battalion was equipped, and their 82th brigade was much lower in rank, so why should it be compared with the eldest son's [-]nd army. "Please familiarize yourself with the domain name"

How other people are jealous is someone else's business, but the officers and soldiers of the [-]th Brigade feel very good, covered with horses, and feel that they are superior in the troops of the Qingma Army, so when they walk, they are breasts. In a sense, this mentality is somewhat similar to the independent brigade of the People's Liberation Army. The [-]th Brigade is a beefy force.

After listening to the introduction, Li Yong and Wang Chengde exchanged opinions and asked the guard company commander Li Jia to immediately notify the commanders of each battalion company to come to the brigade headquarters for a meeting.

It was almost midnight, and the soldiers had already gone to bed. There must be something wrong with calling everyone here for a meeting at this time, so the commanders of all levels of troops ran over immediately, and those who came to the meeting after a short time When all arrived, the room became lively.

The independent brigade that swept all the way has not moved since it arrived in Long County, and the troops have been standing still. This makes the commanders below not sure what the brigade commander and the political commissar mean. Come down and don't move.

Li Yong has no extra nonsense. It is a fool to waste time during the war. He pointed to the map to introduce the situation to everyone: "Under the strong pressure of the main force of our army, the Ma Hongkui corps in Ningxia ran away last night, and only the second horse army was left. After getting off the horse, we don't know whether the Qingma army is running or defending, but according to the results of our reconnaissance, there is a great chance that the enemy wants to run. The political commissar and I want to take the initiative to attack when the enemy's mentality is unstable. Lay it down, eat a piece, and let me know what you think."

When Li Yong said this, Ma Changsheng, the commander of the third battalion, couldn't help it. Almost every time, this guy was the first to ask questions: "Brigade Commander, we have stopped in Long County for almost two days, and nothing happened. Why can't we charge forward as we did a few days ago? Look at the bears of the enemy, and if we work harder, we will catch up with more enemies, and the large troops behind will save more energy."

The Fourth Battalion Commander Ning Jinshan, who did not talk much, disagreed with Ma Changsheng's opinion. Ning Jinshan said steadily: "Changsheng, the problem should not be too simple. There is a reason for our fast attack speed a few days ago. One is that we are far away from the main force. The distance is not far, and the second is that the enemy has been retreating, so we can safely and boldly chase down. In addition, we are dealing with the enemy's local troops, which basically have no combat effectiveness, so we can quickly advance. Now The situation is different from before, our brigade has already distanced itself from the main force, and although the enemy has only one Qingma army left, this Qingma army has 10,000+ people, and reckless actions will result in losses.”

Ning Jinshan is a veteran fighter, and what he said is very reasonable. Li Yong also thinks that Ning Jinshan's analysis is correct. In fact, this is basically the reason why the Independent Brigade was able to attack quickly a few days ago.

The Fifth Battalion Commander Wang Huhu's opinion was more than others. Wang Huhu sat down and thought about it. Didn't the brigade commander and political commissar not understand the truth of what Ning Jinshan said?It's not right, the brigade commander and the political commissar must be clear, since it is clear, why call everyone together for a meeting?Well, there must be other ideas.

There are many smart people among the grassroots commanders of the Independent Brigade, such as Li Jiangguo, the commander of the first battalion, Ma Quanyou, the commander of the second battalion, Gao Xiang, the commander of the artillery battalion, and Jiang Tiexiong, the commander of the tank battalion. After finishing Ning Jinshan's speech, he didn't speak again, and the scene was somewhat deserted.

Knocking the pipe in his hand a few times, the Fifth Battalion Commander Wang Huhu's dull voice rang out: "Brigade Commander, I think so, since our brigade has already caught up with our heels, we have to do something. The army is fighting. Yes, although the enemy is still very strong, we can't do nothing. If we can't fight head-on with the enemy, can't we fight by chance? Let's try to find a way to kill him, and then withdraw immediately, even if the enemy dare not use force Chase, besides, with the mobility of our brigade, the enemy may not be able to catch up if they want to."

Wang Huo's method is also good. In fact, this is the traditional tactics of the old eighth army. Take a bite and leave without entanglement with the enemy. The independent brigade is backed by the main force and has a fast maneuvering speed. It is indeed a relatively safe method.

As soon as Wang Huo's method was mentioned, everyone nodded vigorously. This Wang Huo really has some methods. Although he usually doesn't like to talk, but once he said it, it will make people tempted. If the independent brigade really does this, Qingma Jun There is really no way.

The venue became lively again, and the focus of the discussion was on Wang Huhu's method. He Cuihua, who had listened to it for a while, abnormally did not join Luan. It's wrong for this girl to be inattentive, He Cuihua sat beside Hu Xiaolian and muttered in a low voice: "What are you talking about, did the brigade commander call everyone over in the middle of the night just to hear your nonsense? Hmph, stupid."

He Cuihua muttered in a low voice, but Wei Gang, the battalion commander of the Machine Gun Battalion, overheard him. Wei Gang secretly patted his thigh. That's right, could it be that the brigade commander called everyone over in the middle of the night?What happened to my own brain?Isn't it as fast as a girl's film reaction?It's time to fight.

Wei Gang, who had figured it out, smiled: "Brigade Commander, don't let us talk nonsense. If you have any ideas, tell us quickly and let us listen."

After Wei Gang reminded everyone, that's right, our brigade commander hasn't said what he can do. Seeing that the brigade commander and the political commissar are sitting there like nothing else, they must be ready.

Li Yong waved his hands to calm everyone down: "Tiger's method is good and safe, but it is not what I want. Why? Because the tiger's appetite is too small. According to the method mentioned by the tiger, our brigade is going to make a fortune. Just go, how much can this one earn? Is it a regiment or a battalion?"

Seeing that everyone was silent, Li Yong continued: "The situation is indeed the same as what comrades have analyzed. Although the Ma family army in Ningxia has run away, the remaining Qinghai Ma family army still has 10,000+ people, and it is not something that our brigade can do." We can deal with it, but we are not without fighters. Although the enemy has 10,000+ people, they are deployed separately. After the Ningxia Army ran away, the 10,000+ people of the Qingma Army were deployed in Guguan, Sanguankou, Red Deer Town, In the area of ​​Sishilibao and Ankouyao, our brigade only fought one place, and this place is the enemy in the Guguan area. According to our reconnaissance, the enemy has two troops deployed in Guguan, namely the 2th Cavalry Brigade And the Eighth Cavalry Division, with a total strength of more than [-] troops, twice as many as ours, comrades, are we still afraid?"

There was a boom in the venue. The commanders of the independent brigade are talking about each other. There is nothing to talk about with more than 2 people. Our brigade with more than 1 people can completely kill them. up.

Li Yong's resonant voice sounded again: "Comrades, my idea is this. What matters in war is the timing, location, and harmony of people. Our People's Liberation Army currently occupies the timing and harmony of people, but it does not occupy the location. The enemy The defense in the Guguan area relies on geographical advantages. The terrain is beneficial to the enemy and not to us. Therefore, we must despise the opponent strategically and pay attention to the opponent tactically. To be on the safe side, our brigade only eats half of the enemy , the first target is the enemy's [-]th Cavalry Brigade at the forefront, and try to eat him in one bite. Next, I will make specific arrangements.
