The beacon of youth

Chapter 542

The deputy division commander of the 356th Division urged Qingping to go back, and he did so with the attitude of a PLA chief. Time was precious, and he urged Qingping not to delay for a second.

Jin Ji, the 356th division headquarters, the reply brought back by the deputy division commander made the atmosphere in the conference room very depressed. The People's Liberation Army didn't take them seriously at all. The tone was very tough, and there was no room for relaxation. It seems that the uprising The name is out of the question.

"Surrender is surrender. Do we have a way out? Notify the troops, follow the requirements of the People's Liberation Army, and go out of the city to accept the surrender." Although the final decision was uncomfortable, he still accepted it.

The 356th Division can gather about 7000 people. These personnel came out of Jinji City in a disorderly manner, and placed their weapons in a unified manner according to the requirements of the PLA frontline commanders, and the personnel waited for arrangement.

Compared with the dejected officers, the soldiers who put down their weapons felt elated. They didn’t have to fight the People’s Liberation Army anymore. Their lives were saved. No matter how you looked at it, they were happy. As for the surrender, it didn’t seem like a big deal. , Even if you follow the People's Liberation Army in the future, there is nothing wrong with it.

In the bright sunshine of late September 64, Jinji, an ancient small city in the northwest, surrendered its guns under the deterrence of the powerful lineup of the People's Liberation Army's westward marching army. The 128th Division, the 356th Army, known as the main force of the Ningma Army, was cut off with an arm.

After Jinji was liberated, Commander Zeng Siyu of the 64th Army ordered the main force of the army not to enter the city, but to pass straight through from both sides of Jinji, and the follow-up troops were responsible for the reception.

With three main divisions, two du li divisions, and a du li brigade, Commander Zeng Siyu of the 64th Army has extremely strong forces.

Passing by the large troops of the People's Liberation Army, in the early morning sunshine, the soldiers simply looked at the captives who had been surrendered in the city, without any pause or hesitation under their feet and continued to stride forward.

The shy prisoners piled up to watch the army pass by, and some of them murmured in fear: "Fortunately, there was no fight with the People's Liberation Army. Look at the cannons and tanks. After the firepower, our 356th Division's troops can't even kill their bones. Boom gone."

The cannons and tanks that the captives were talking about were the passing troops of the du li brigade. According to the order of Commander Zeng Siyu, all the troops of the 64th Army should make persistent efforts and march straight to Wuzhong.

Several battalion-level combat units under the du li brigade saw the piled-up prisoners with different expressions. Recently, they fought well in the battle and smiled happily. It is the main force, and the soldiers are very bragging.

But the Fifth Battalion can't do it. They are always in the hands of the brigade commander Li Yong as the reserve team. They are not in a high mood, just like the old squad leader. Battalion Commander Wang Huhu even quietly found Li Yong, asking for more combat missions for his battalion in the future, otherwise this soldier would be difficult to lead.

Wuzhong is a small place lying between Lingwu and Jinji. It is not a big place, but its geographical location is very important. The commander of the Ningxia Majia Army placed a whole division of troops in this little-known place.

Ma Dunjing, the commander-in-chief of the Majia Army in Ningxia, put Ningma's First Security Division in Wuzhong. Like the Third Security Division that was wiped out by the PLA in Niushou Mountain, this Security First Division was also Ma Hongkui's cronies, and was usually very arrogant. However, For a while, the officers and soldiers of the [-]st Security Division always felt that their hearts were jumping with fear.

The strength of the Ningma army in Jinji is not insignificant, but what is the result?The 20rd Security Division was wiped out, the 356th Cavalry Brigade basically did not escape a few people, and a [-]th Division was still completed, but they all surrendered to the People's Liberation Army, and Jin Ji was also handed over by them, which is too hateful.

There is a reason to say that the 356th Division is hateful. If Jin Ji is not lost for a day, the First Security Division guarding Wuzhong is the second-line position. Once Jin Ji falls, their Third Security Division will be directly exposed to the guns of the PLA. , The commander of the first security division hurriedly asked Lu Zhongliang, the commander of the 128th army stationed in Lingwu, for reinforcements. They alone could not stop the PLA's offensive with just one security division.

Lingwu, Commander of the 128th Army, Commander Lu Zhongliang is like a death row prisoner about to go to the gallows. His face is full of remorse and unwillingness. The situation after a few days makes the main commander of the Ningma Army feel pain. .

The Ningma Army with more than 8 troops is not insignificant. The Ningxia Majia Army with a large number of cavalry can completely compete with the [-]th Corps of the People's Liberation Army. However, the division of troops on three fronts was defeated by the People's Liberation Army. The family property was drained bit by bit. I once opposed this tactic, but I didn't jump out of this vicious circle in terms of specific deployment.

The 128th Army has two main divisions, the 256th and 356th, and a 20th Cavalry Brigade, plus the First Security Division and the Third Security Division, which were reinforced by the commander-in-chief. The division of troops made this possibility only appear in the imagination.

The 356th Division, the Third Security Division, and the 20th Cavalry Brigade have disappeared in the battle order of the Ningma Army. In the hands of Lu Zhongliang, the commander of the 128th Army, there is also a 256th Division and a team directly under the military headquarters.

Lu Zhongliang, who had been thinking for a while, finally made up his mind to give up Lingwu and pull all the troops to Wuzhong, where he joined forces with the First Security Division, where he would fight to the death with the People's Liberation Army.

The small Wuzhong was filled with troops of the Ningma Army for a while. The arrival of the 256th Division and the 128th Army's headquarters gave the [-]st Security Division guarding Wuzhong a shot in the arm, and the subordinates became active again.

In the Great Northwest of old China, news was blocked. The soldiers and officers at the bottom did not know the strength of the People's Liberation Army and the current situation of the Ningma Army.

Lu Zhongliang made up his mind, but it was too late. If he could concentrate his forces a few days ago, he could still compete with the 64th Army of the People's Liberation Army. The 356th Division, the 20rd Security Division and the 256th Cavalry Brigade were all wiped out. Under such circumstances, it would be a bit overwhelming to compete with the 64th Army with only one Security Division [-] and the [-]th Division.

Of course, Commander Zeng Siyu of the 64th Army would not care about the enemy's feelings. In the face of overwhelming superiority, everything Lu Zhongliang did was a bit ridiculous in front of the commanders of the PLA. He ordered the First Division of the Northwest Military Region to Du Li's second division attacked from the front, surrounded by the 191st and 192nd divisions from both sides, using the super-long maneuverability of Li Yong's du li brigade, quickly penetrated behind the enemy's buttocks, and launched an attack from behind Wu Zhong's defending enemy.

This is a typical tactic of encircling and interspersing, and it is also a classic tactic of the People's Liberation Army. Commander Zeng Siyu wanted to use this battle to solve the Ningma 128th Army in one fell swoop, destroy the enemy's illusions, and speed up the pace of liberating Ningxia.

The battle broke out suddenly, and the du li brigade did not encounter any unexpected obstacles on the way through. Under the strong pressure of the 128th Corps, all the units of the Majia Army in Ningxia were already overwhelmed. Even if they knew that the [-]th Army was encircled by the People's Liberation Army The ability to rescue, everything depends on themselves.

But can they rely on themselves?The du li brigade, which had circled behind Wu Zhong to guard the enemy, bombarded with heavy artillery. Countless shells fell like raindrops, followed by craters and debris all over the ground.

Wuzhong is different from Jinji. There is no large city wall to rely on. Some fortifications are to build a kind of earth wall rammed with clay. The local people call this kind of wall a soil fence. The hole was drilled, and gun towers were built at the four corners. The integration of multiple earth enclosures became the basis for the 256th Division and the First Security Division to compete with the People's Liberation Army.

But the earth fence can only be the earth fence. This kind of fortification is similar to the courtyard house of the northern landlords.

The earth fence built with loess could not stand the bombardment of artillery fire at all. Li Yong ordered the artillery to shoot with howitzers and at the same time ordered field artillery and infantry artillery to directly bombard the earth wall and the four-corner artillery towers.

The cannonball was fired in a twirl, and a few seconds later came into direct contact with the soil wall. The violent explosion of a few shells could blow up the soil wall, and the Majiajun soldiers behind the wall were undoubtedly blown into pieces. broken pieces.

The weapons and equipment of the Ningma Army are too different from those of the People's Liberation Army. Under the powerful artillery fire of the People's Liberation Army, there is no way to organize effective resistance. Later, I couldn't even hear the sound, and I could only use my eyes as if watching slow motion, watching my brothers being killed and injured and blasted into bloody pieces.

Li Yong ordered the troops not to leave time for the enemy to react. While the artillery fire extended, the tank troops rushed up, and the tanks were followed by infantry commandos.

The Ningma Army had no anti-tank weapons, and no heavy weapons that could fight against the PLA. The soldiers who survived the artillery fire were frightened when they saw the tanks rumbling up, and they dropped their positions, turned around and ran away.

Crushing and shooting, the tank troops used their steel bodies to open a passage for the infantry. Under the cover of tank fire, a battalion of infantry followed and killed them.

The infantry commando behind the tank was Wang Huo's fifth battalion. Li Yong also felt that the fifth battalion should be given some tasks. It would be too much to let Wang Huo, an honest man, talk.

The enemy positions in Li Yong's telescope did not pose any threat to the du li brigade, so just a few ground-breaking enclosures wanted to block PLA tanks and heavy artillery?The commander's IQ can be described as an idiot.

The old bus has been very busy recently, and the slow update will be affected. I apologize for the inconvenience caused to friends. Please understand and understand, thank you.
