The beacon of youth

Because of the arrogance of the Qingma Army, the 91st Army and the 120th Army watched the big drama on the sidelines during the bloody battle between the Qingma Army and the People's Liberation Army in Lanzhou. The People's Liberation Army's plan for a decisive battle in Lanzhou became a dead letter.

Li Yong and Wang Chengde also felt a lot after listening to it. Ma Bufang's plan for the decisive battle in Lanzhou was to use the Qingma Army and the People's Liberation Army in a bloody battle, use the solid mountains and city defenses to consume the spirit of the Northwest Field Army, and then use the Ningxia Majia Army and the Central Yang Army It is a good plan to encircle both sides and wipe out the Northwest Field Army under the city of Lanzhou, but in the conspiracy of the Kuomintang army, it is difficult to realize such a plan.

Now that he has said it, there is nothing to keep. As soon as the psychological defense line is opened, the regiment leader revealed all the family background of the 246th Division like a bean.

Most of the officers in the Kuomintang army have experience in military academies, and the introductions are straightforward, and Brigadier Li Da is also comfortable to listen to. In the end, Li Yong told the officer, I will truthfully report your performance to the superior. As for the decision of the superior, I can’t say Forget it, and then send this guy away.

A brief meeting was held in this small Zhoujiazhuang. The commanders of the ** Brigade and the 13th Regiment and Battalion were all called together. The content of the meeting was only one. The 91th Division of the 246st Army was still more than 20 kilometers away from us. , Whether to fight or encircle or wait for the main force of the Second Army, let everyone express their opinions.

The ** brigade has ten battalions, and the 13th regiment has three battalions. Dozens of people from the regiment and the brigade are sitting together for a meeting. The scene is very lively. Li Yong is the highest military officer in the meeting place. Everyone can say whatever they want, and don’t be afraid of making mistakes.

An army has traditions, and Li Yong was infected without knowing it, when he was in a meeting with Commander Wang before.The commander also once said that, don't be afraid of making mistakes, and dare to express your own ideas. Our PLA troops don't play tricks.Now that it was time for him to preside over the meeting, Li Yong naturally used Commander Wang's style to let everyone speak freely.

Except for Li Yong, who is an idiot, the worst commanders above the battalion in the Northwest Field Army are from the old Eighth Route Army. What is fear.What is dare not.

The first battalion commander, Li Jiangguo, patted the table and stood up: "Brigade Commander, I don't think we need to wait for the main force. We first eliminated a 245th division and then a 736th regiment. Together, we eliminated more than 1 enemies. But we haven't used all our energy yet, and the troops don't have much consumption, so we can fight another battle without any problem."

There was a speech from the fast-talking Li Jiangguo.The atmosphere in the venue was even more violent, everyone was fearless, so there was nothing to be afraid of.Ma Changsheng, the commander of the third battalion, was of course the loudest one: "Brigade Commander, I think we're going to beat the fuck up in one go. I asked a few captives why they didn't resist. Guess what they said , These guys said that they didn't want to fight the PLA at first, they just wanted to avoid the limelight in the Hexi Corridor, and make a decision based on the situation. The troops who don't want to fight will be finished. It's useless to have more people, let alone the enemy has no us There are many people."

Li Yong was very satisfied with Ma Changsheng's speech, not because he had a loud voice, but because this guy's speech was thick and subtle, and he knew the importance of morale to combat effectiveness.

"Hurry up if you want to fight. If you eat late, there will be more people. I guess the Second Corps is not far away. Doesn't they have a fast column?" He Cuihua, who was always thinking about fighting, was talking. This girl was afraid of others. They robbed her. In her eyes, the current Kuomintang army is food, which is a dish that can be eaten casually. If there are too many guests, those who eat will have to eat less.

Li Yong wondered, didn't He Cuihua carry out the task of escorting the prisoners, when did he come back again, He Cuihua is a clever girl, Li Yong knew it the moment his inquiring eyes fell on her, and the crisp voice rang out again Get up: "Don't worry, Comrade Brigadier Commander, the prisoners were escorted away, and they were safely sent to Zhangye. My jeep didn't idle for a minute, and I came back the same way."

There was laughter in the venue, everyone in the ** brigade knew He Cuihua's character, it is estimated that this girl had to fly the wheels of the car in order to rush back to the meeting.

The members of the 13th regiment were somewhat surprised. Looking at the ** brigade, there are not only female soldiers, but also the main commanders in the army. The gap is not 01:30.

Li Yong thinks about it. Zhangye is only tens of kilometers away from Zhoujiazhuang, where the ** brigade is located. It will not take long under the full speed of the car. In the warm atmosphere, Li Yong set his sights on the regiment of the 13th regiment Commander, the head of the old 13th Regiment is not only older than Li Yong, but also has incomparable qualifications and experience in combat. It is extremely necessary to ask his opinion.

The head of the 13th Regiment is a young old Red Army. Seeing Li Yong cast his gaze on him, he also stood up and said: "Brigade Commander, my opinion is also inclined to fight. The 246th Division has been wiped out by us, and the 736th Regiment has been wiped out. There are more than 6000 people. Together we are in the early 246s. It is no problem to beat them. Now the worry is whether the rest of the enemy's troops will come to reinforce them. It will be very dangerous to come from the side, if this problem is solved, we should have no problem eating the 246 division."

As expected of an old commander, what he sees is accurate. He can see his own strengths and weaknesses. Li Yong finally stated that he must fight. The fighter must not be missed. As for the rest of the enemy's troops, there is nothing to worry about. Yes, there are more than 91 people from the 120st Army and the 4th Army of the Kuomintang who escaped from Lanzhou. Except for the 245th Division that was wiped out and the 246th Division that is about to be attacked, the enemy can only mobilize more than 2 troops. Just these 2 people may not be able to gather at once, and the 5th and 14th regiments of the 15th division of our own army are not far away. Once the 91th division arrives, the 120th and [-]th divisions, the main force of the second army, are almost there , In addition, there are troops from the Second Corps watching. Based on the above situation, Li Yong believes that the [-]st Army and the [-]th Army of the Kuomintang will not do much.

Just do it, Li Yong ordered the troops to set off immediately, and at the same time sent the situation to the military headquarters of the Second Army in the form of a telegram: Our department and the 13th Regiment of the 246th Division wiped out the 736th Regiment of the 246th Division of the enemy at noon today, and captured more than [-] people. Weapons and equipment are being further checked, and are preparing to attack the enemy's [-]th Division in the afternoon.Li Yong Wang Chengde

The Second Army of the People's Liberation Army, Commander Guo Peng, Political Commissar Wang Enmao, and Deputy Commander Chen were all there. Several people carefully read the telegram draft on the table, and then looked at each other. Finally, Commander Guo Peng laughed and said: "Damn, this gang The boy is courageous enough and fast enough, and he killed a division and added a regiment before we could touch the edge, and if this continues, the fourth division and the sixth division can't even drink soup."

Political commissar Wang Enmao said in a leisurely manner: "The Fourth Division and the Sixth Division will definitely have opinions, but it's okay to have opinions. After the troops pass the Daxue Mountain, we should try to replenish as much as possible. Let the soldiers recover their strength first."

Commander Guo Peng asked Deputy Commander Chen again: "Old Chen, the ** brigade is all soldiers brought out by you, what do you think?"

Deputy Army Commander Chen: "Soldiers are expensive and fast, and there is nothing wrong with moving before the enemy. Our army has always paid attention to controlling the initiative on the battlefield. The problem now is that the ** brigade and the 13th regiment will attack the enemy's 246th division. It will not be counterattacked and reinforced by the rest of the enemy's forces."

Commander Guo Peng pondered for a while and said: "Do you see if this works? From the telegram, the ** Brigade and the 13th Regiment are already on the line. Let's order the 14th and 15th Regiments of the Fifth Division to quickly approach the ** Brigade and the 13th Regiment. Order the 13th and [-]th Divisions to pass Qilian Mountain as soon as possible, speed up after descending the mountain, and attack the Zhangye area to prevent possible reinforcements from the enemy, and ensure that the ** Brigade and the [-]th Regiment can launch the attack smoothly."

Political Commissar Wang Enmao and Deputy Army Commander Chen nodded in agreement and added one point: Inform the nearest brother troops of the battle situation of our Second Army, let them contain the enemy in front of them if possible, and relieve the pressure on the ** brigade.

A telegram was placed at the headquarters of the Sixth Army of the People's Liberation Army. Two people were reading the telegram. One was Army Commander Luo Yuanfa, and the other was Chen Haihan, an old comrade-in-arms of the Sixth Army that Li Yong was very familiar with.

The current Chen Haihan is no longer the division commander, but has just been promoted to the chief of staff of the Sixth Army.

Commander Luo Yuanfa, who was nicknamed not to suffer, was a little unhappy, and he kept muttering: "He nainai, these guys from the Second Army not only have long paws, but also fast legs. In the human area, we still have to cross the Daxue Mountain. How did they come here? They took down a division and the first regiment before I got too far. Now we need to contain the enemy for them, so that they can implement it more conveniently. Attack, mother, let them take all the good things."

Chen Haihan, who was standing with Commander Luo Yuanfa, smiled: "Commander, there is nothing unusual about this, have you forgotten that their Second Army has a ** brigade? These guys are all marching with mechanized cars , the speed is much faster than on foot, it is estimated that the first attack must be the ** brigade."

Chen Haihan is very familiar with Li Yong and the army of the ** brigade. The two families often fought together, and he was deeply impressed by the army of the ** brigade. So when the telegram from the second army arrived, he thought of Li Yong, Brigadier Commander Luo. Yuan Fajun patted his head: "He nainai, why did I forget that the ** brigade has been rebuilt? It is likely that they have arrived. Haihan, how many Kuomintang troops are facing our army?" (To be continued..)
