Chapter 137 Lazikou Test (Monthly Pass Plus Update)

(PS: In one night, the classified monthly ticket list was exploded twice, and the taste was very sour!) The first chapter of the monthly pass plus more will be sent, and there will be more later! Continue to ask for a monthly pass, ask for subscription support! )

With the weapons and ammunition accumulated in the column, He Zhengdao not only obtained a large amount of food and materials from Yang Jicun, but also gained the friendship of the strongest Tusi in Gannan. This provided a favorable foundation for the next attack on Minxian.

Even He Zhengdao can see to some extent that Yang Jicun is still wary of the Red Army. But he also believes that after this cooperation, Yang Jicun should work hard to accumulate strength, and he doesn't want to be coerced by anyone anymore.

It's a pity that in He Zhengdao's view, such an idea is still somewhat impossible to realize. The reason is very simple, although the weapons given by He Zhengdao are enough for him to pull up the arms of the main force of the regular army.

But the question is, if he really wants to fight, how long can his ammunition reserves last? In the absence of bullets, a gun is no different from a burning stick. In terms of ammunition, He Zhengdao seems to have given a lot, but in fact it will not be consumed for long.

When He Zhengdao led the main force of the first division and left from Zhuoni, the troops pointed directly at the territory of Minxian County. Regarding the arrival of the First Independent Division, Lu Dachang, who was guarding the Minjiang River, also felt that he could not catch it.

If you want to enter Minxian, you must pass through a place, a place where He Zhengdao personally led the troops, a place that is remembered by the Red Army in history, and a place that is a model of battle in the eyes of many people.

Lazikou, a gateway to the Han region and an important traffic channel. In Tibetan, Lazikou means 'the mouth of the mountain road and the gorge'. As the name suggests, the mountains around Lazikou are towering, and the mouth of the gorge is like a knife splitting an axe.

The Lazikou River gushes out of the gorge. The two cliffs and forests are dense, and there is really a 'one husband'. The momentum of the 'Ten Thousand Men Open'. But it was such a dangerous place, but He Zhengdao led the main force of the first division to come.

compared to historically. The Central Red Army attacking here, with tens of thousands of cavalry of Zhuoniyang Tusi on the left, Hu Zongnan's main force on the right, and Liu Wenhui's Sichuan Army flank from Sichuan on the back, can be described as embattled.

And now, in front of He Zhengdao, there is only the main force of the first division under the command of Lu Dachang. Looking at its frame, it seems that it also intends to rely on the natural danger here to fight against the now famous independent column.

As for the reinforcements. He Zhengdao didn't, and Lu Dachang didn't either. Nowadays, Gannan is full of beacons, and it is not easy to defend his own territory. wants to send troops to rescue others, but I am afraid that many warlords in the northwest feel that they are unable to do it.

Even Hu Zongnan, who served as the commander-in-chief of the Northwest Suppression, faced a telegram from Lu Dachang asking for help. In the same way, they can only write blank checks and let them fight with the independent column at Lazikou. If he can inflict heavy damage on the independent column, he will be promoted as the commander of the army.

The temptation of being promoted from division commander to army commander made Lu Dachang really ruthless, and planned to wrestle with the independent column that came from afar. Not to mention. Lu Dachang knew very well that even if he retreated, he would not be able to escape the pursuit of the Red Army.

The 1st Independent Division that arrived at Lazikou in front of him was heading for the territory of Minxian County under his control. Unless he is really willing to give up his turf. Otherwise, he can only be here, fight a good battle with the Red Army, and let the Red Army retreat in the face of difficulties.

Looking at the bridgehead and the mountainside on both sides, there are bunkers. and built a large number of fortifications on the hillside. Think about the Central Red Army that arrived here in history, at what price did it pay to take this dangerous place!

After reconnoitering the defensive arrangement of Lazikou. He Zhengdao also said seriously: "It seems that this Lu Dachang is planning to die with us in danger based on this!" According to the intelligence provided by the reconnaissance team. This guy only stationed one regiment in Minxian County.

The rest of the main forces of the 14th Division, under his command, were all placed on the defensive line in front of us. Even some time ago, the other party transported a large amount of food and ammunition here, and it seems that they plan to fight with us to consume it! ”

In the face of He Zhengdao's words, the commanders of the main forces of the First Division who participated in the combat meeting also felt a little tricky. As the main commanders, they knew very well what such a fortification in front of them meant to the attacking troops.

Even soon, the commander of the main force said puzzledly: "Commander, why do we have to fight this Lazikou?" If we want to attack Minxian, we can take a detour and go straight to Minxian, where the army is empty! ”

Regarding the confusion of the main force leader, He Zhengdao also nodded and said: "Indeed! In your opinion, the attack on Lazikou is somewhat thankless. But you should know that there is a main division of the enemy here.

At present, we are in Gannan and have launched a full-scale counterattack. In doing so, there is only one purpose, that is, to strike at the enemy's vital forces and prepare for the next construction of new revolutionary base areas.

If we bypass this heavily guarded Lazikou, we will indeed be able to capture Minxian smoothly. But the enemy guarding here may give us a fatal blow from behind at any time.

I believe you all know the truth that "there are only a thousand days to be a thief, and there is no thousand days to prevent thieves". In the face of such a main enemy division that is resolutely the enemy of our army, if we do not destroy it, will we dare to rest assured that we will be behind us when we move forward? ”

According to the suggestion submitted by He Zhengdao to the headquarters, through this kind of active counterattack, we should fight a good battle with the local army stationed in Gannan and the troops from all walks of life who participated in the encirclement and suppression. Through this battle of Gannan, the main force of the Red Army, which was rapidly expanding, was tempered.

Only troops that have fought tough battles can be called the real elite. And the Central Red Army, which entered Gannan, seemed to be strong and strong. However, many troops did not get much actual combat training along the way.

Under such circumstances, many prisoners who had newly joined the Red Army would also develop a chaotic attitude. And such an attitude is undoubtedly what He Zhengdao is worried about. Such soldiers are also what He Zhengdao hopes to eliminate.

No matter how well you cover it up in peacetime, as long as you go to the battlefield to fight, whether you really follow the Red Army or pretend to mess around. I believe that commanders at all levels can also have a clear idea and truly temper an iron-blooded army that dares to fight tough battles.

As an independent column that has not tasted defeat so far, even He Zhengdao has always stressed that all divisions must be vigilant against the pride and complacency of the troops. However, this kind of education is far worse than being brought to the battlefield and making officers and soldiers feel the baptism of war.

This is also the reason why He Zhengdao, who led the troops here, will send the main forces of the remaining three divisions to various places to attack. Only by experiencing more battles can recruits slowly become veterans.

After listening to He Zhengdao's narration, Zhang Cheng also said directly: "Commander, please announce the order!" In this battle, even if I gnaw with my teeth, I will also gnaw away the enemy's 14th Division defending here. ”

'If you can really gnaw off the other party with your teeth, this commander will let you be it!' As a division commander, don't talk all day long. Although I want to temper the troops, I don't want to see the troops shed blood.

What's more, your first division is the unit with the largest backbone of our column. If you really want to cause a large number of casualties among the backbone, I will definitely not spare you. Now, your first division will draw up an offensive plan based on the current enemy situation.

In this battle, I will not only beat all the troops, but also see the combat level of your commanders. Give you half a day to discuss, and give me the battle plan before dinner. This battle is not in a hurry, it is not bad to sharpen the other party's temperament first! ’

I didn't think about attacking as soon as I came here. For the current independent columns, there is no need for such urgency. As for the plan to take Lazikou, He Zhengdao has actually been prepared for a long time.

Let the commanders of these first divisions formulate and discuss the offensive plan, and also hope to see if these regiment commanders and division commanders can shoulder this heavy responsibility. But more importantly, it is also hoped that this will enhance the commander's command ability.

Looking at He Zhengdao who shook his hand and left, Zhang Cheng also looked a little dumbfounded. In his opinion, it is most convenient to follow He Zhengdao to fight. As long as you obey He Zhengdao's orders and complete the tasks assigned to him, this battle will definitely be won.

Now that he suddenly threw the matter of organizing the attack to him, Zhang Cheng and several main regiment commanders were dumbfounded, but they quickly realized that He Zhengdao intended to test them. After all, the speed of their promotion does seem a little too fast.

Even if they have enough military merit to let them hold such a position, no one will object. But in fact, every time they fought with He Zhengdao, they were the executors rather than the plan-making decision-makers.

Thinking about these clearly, Zhang Cheng also knew that this was He Zhengdao's kindness, and immediately said: "Okay! The commander gave us only half a day, and then we pooled our efforts to come up with a feasible plan for the attack. ”

Listening to Zhang Cheng's words, some of the main regiment commanders who had not yet comprehended He Zhengdao's arrangement immediately said with a bitter face: "Division commander, let people lead the troops to fight and attack." But this platoon is really not what I'm good at! ”

'Hugua, you are now the main commander of the 1st Division and 2nd Regiment, how can you say such a thing? As the commander of a regiment, you will always have to face the situation of command alone in the future, and at that time, you will also have to let the commander give you ideas?

The meaning of the previous commander was very clear: this attack on Lazikou was not only a test for the soldiers of our troops, but also a test for the commanders of our first division. If you can't come up with a solid plan for attack, you wait to be removed!

The commander has always stressed that as a commander, you cannot only be brave and strategic. You are also the main commander, and you are embarrassed to say things that you are not good at commanding. Let the commander hear and see how he cleans you up.

In the future, when we build a new revolutionary Soviet zone, it will not be possible for the independent columns to stay in one place. Each of you here is likely to be responsible for your own defense zone. When the enemy attacks, will you let the commander make an idea for you? ’

scolded on the phone, and the courgette, who usually fights bravely, is also very honest and shrugging his head. As for the other main commanders, thinking about the current situation, it is still very possible for Zhang Cheng to be released to one place.

If they don't have the ability to lead the army alone to defend one side, with their understanding of He Zhengdao, it is estimated that they will all usher in the arrangement of dismissal or transfer from the post of commander. After all, one general is incompetent and kills three armies! (To be continued.) )
