Chapter 496: The enviable independent brigade of Zhanlanzhou

Li Yong reminded several commanders in the headquarters of the field army to pay attention to the logistics supply of the troops, Mr. Peng and several leaders glanced at each other, and Deputy Commander Liu Jingfan's eyes lit up: "Ha, this is a detail that needs attention, but you don't have to worry about it, boss, I will definitely do the logistics support of the troops, if I can't do my work at home, you, as a commander, can play the wrench at any time, and I will never shout grievances."

The large troops of the Northwest Field Army set off immediately after a brief rest in the Wushan area, and the arrow of the attack pointed directly at Lanzhou, and the independent brigade was once again left as the reserve of the main attack force by Mr. Peng and several leaders of the field army, so that they could prepare and let them go up when it was difficult to bite.

Hundreds of kilometers of no-man's land, in the case of modern cars and trains, it seems that there is no big problem to walk these hundreds of kilometers, but at that time it was not possible, the two corps (the second corps and the nineteenth corps), plus the local support of the former migrant workers, hundreds of thousands of troops, most of them have to rely on walking to complete the whole distance, which will produce a lot of unexpected problems, the army according to the daily march speed of 50 kilometers, it will take six days to complete the journey, this is still an estimate in the absence of any accidents, If the troops marched more slowly, it would take more time, and in fact it would be difficult for the troops to walk 50 kilometers a day.

Political commissars, instructors, and instructors at all levels in the army have all exerted their superb work ability and have taken advantage of every opportunity to educate the soldiers to grit their teeth and contribute to the liberation of the motherland's great northwest.

There was no special time to convene a meeting, and all the work had to be done during the march of the troops, so these political workers had to keep running around in the ranks, lining up one squad after another to cheer up the soldiers, and for every kilometer the soldiers walked, they had to walk two or even three kilometers correspondingly, and the blisters on their feet were first blistered, and then blood blisters.

However, the PLA's powerful ideological and political work is reflected here, and the high-intensity and long-distance rapid march is a great test of people's physical fitness and perseverance, but none of the soldiers shouted that they were tired, and the entire unit was still high-spirited in the super body march.

There was a famous military writer who described the difficulties of the troops' march in this way: the rain was pouring down, the river was rushing and shouting, the lightning flashed frequently, the thunder exploded overhead, the heaven and the earth became a terrible and terrifying world, the troops were pulling forward one by one in the heavy rain, the cattle fell, struggling in the mud and water, the people were pushed away by the water, from time to time the cries of falling were heard, the rain came down from the neck and flowed down the waist of the trousers, the troops began to run again, there were gunshots in front, both cold and frozen, soaking wet, thunder, rain, water, In this vast river, we could not see anything, we could not hear anything, and after walking twenty miles, we could not find the village, we stood in the rain for two hours, and it was strange to say that many soldiers sat in the muddy rain and slept whirring, and they were so tired that they could imagine what kind of journey.

、

Compared with these troops who rely on walking to march long distances, the independent brigade that was transferred to the headquarters of the field army can be described as more beautiful, all cars, artillery trucks, tank cars, and a small number of mules and horses, none of the more than 11,000 people in the brigade are walking, and those equipped with cattle are simply enviable to death, and the soldiers of the brother troops sighed when they saw the marching sequence of the independent brigade, and some naughty soldiers asked each other: "He, where did these guys jump out?" Isn't this deliberately making us angry!! If it weren't for the fact that they were also the face of the People's Liberation Army, Lao Tzu would have robbed it. ”

Those who understood the inside story replied: "Fool, it is an independent brigade of the First Corps and the Second Army, which was temporarily transferred by the headquarters to participate in the Lanzhou Campaign with us. Don't move, I'll take a bayonet and tear it out for everyone to see. After saying that, there was laughter in the sequence of marching.

It's no wonder that the soldiers of the fraternal troops think so, what did the Eighth Route Army and the People's Liberation Army rely on? At best, it is said that it is captured by seizure, and to put it bluntly, it is snatched from the opponent, so regardless of cadres and soldiers, everyone has a mentality of going on when they see good things, and the independent brigade like Sao Bao is indeed too eye-catching.

Li Yongke didn't care about this, he sat in the jeep and swayed, moving forward with the flow of people in the large army, who he loved and who he envied, and he had the ability to rob the enemy by himself, and Lao Tzu's equipment was not issued by his superiors.

He didn't care, but Li Jia, the commander of the guard company sitting next to him, really couldn't stand it, Li Jia gently touched Li Yong with his elbow: "Brigade commander, brigade commander, look at the eyes of the soldiers of the brother troops, it means to eat people." ”

I got a beautiful girl in the combat unit to be the company commander of a guard company, and I still marched together all day long, can I still make people not envious? Brigade Commander Li smiled: "Ignore them, the troops marching with us are all directly under the field army headquarters, they are very remarkable in the eyes of other troops in peacetime, and today let them know what is the trump card of the field army, let them envy it, it can be regarded as a means to stimulate the troops, maybe the leaders will praise us." ”

On 19 August, the Yang Dezhi Division of the 19th Field Corps advanced to the area of Dingyuan and Guojiazhuang, about 25 kilometers southeast of Lanzhou, and the Xu Guangda Division of the 2nd Corps advanced to Afeng Town, 20 kilometers south of Lanzhou, and then made a roundabout maneuver to the west of Lanzhou. The main force of the Green Horse Army in the city can no longer fly with wings.

Lanzhou, founded in 86 BC. It is recorded that the name Jincheng was given because the gold was dug up when the castle was first built here, and there is also a saying that it is based on the allusion of "Jincheng soup pond", which means that it is strong. During the Han Dynasty and the Wei and Jin dynasties, Jincheng County was set up here.

In the third year of Kaihuang of Sui Dynasty (583 AD), Emperor Wen of Sui abolished the county and set up the Lanzhou Governor's Office here, and the name of "Lanzhou" was first seen in the annals. Later, although the state and county changed their names several times, the history of Lanzhou's establishment was basically fixed, and it has been along the way to this day. After Qin Shi Huang unified China, the world was divided into 36 counties, and the area around Lanzhou was the land of Longxi.

Lanzhou was the second largest city in the northwest in 49 years, the location of the Northwest Army Governor's Office of the Kuomintang, and was geographically the hub for containing Qinghai, the Hexi Corridor, Xinjiang and Ningxia, as well as the military and political center of the Kuomintang in the northwest.

This important town that soldiers must fight for since ancient times is indeed in danger to follow, it is bordered by the Yellow River in the north, surrounded by mountains on three sides, Gaolan Mountain has become the natural barrier of the ancient city, the mountain has been built with the permanent fortifications of the Kuomintang in the Anti-Japanese War period, the fortifications of reinforced concrete are densely packed all over the mountain, the main position is set up with a large number of pillboxes, all kinds of mother blockhouses, sub-blocks, and chain blockhouses are connected to each other, three artificial cliffs are dug outside the main position, each cliff is six to ten meters, a light and heavy machine gun bunker is provided at the half-waist of the cliff, and the outer outside of the cliff is the outer trench, The width and depth are about three to five meters, there are hidden forts and field fortifications connected between the trenches, there are also several barbed wire fences set up in front of the position, in the middle of the nets are mine groups, Majia Mountain, Yingpan Ling and Shen Jialing are the enemy's three main defensive positions, they form a high and low staggered and light and heavy crossfire with the various commanding heights of Doujia Mountain, Gucheng Ling, and Gouwa Mountain.

At this time, Ma Bufang, the great warlord of the Northwest, had already run to Xining, and handed over the stall that presided over the decisive battle of Lanzhou to his eldest son Ma Jiyuan, as for why Ma Bufang ran back to Xining early, everyone's statements were different, some said that they were afraid of death and ran away first, some said that they were for the Ma family father and son to contact the retreat as soon as possible, and some said that they wanted to move away all the property that the Ma family had stored in Xining for hundreds of years, no matter what, Ma Bufang was indeed gone.

Ma Bufang left, but his eldest son Ma Jiyuan did not go, Ma Jiyuan is known as the most promising rising star in the Northwest Three Horse Family, this guy really made up his mind to defend Lanzhou, Ma Jiyuan spared no expense, put the three divisions of his elite main force of the 82nd Army on the three main defensive positions, the 100th Division held the area of Majiashan and Doujialing, the 248th Division held the camp, the 190th Division held Shenjialing and Gouwa Mountain, and the 129th Army was a reserve, deployed in Xiguan, Lanzhou, Before the war, the howitzer unit that had just been transferred from Xinjiang was deployed in Dongjiaochang, Lanzhou, three security regiments were stationed in the area of Donggang Town, Lanzhou, and north of the Yellow River was defended by the newly formed First Division, the Eighth Cavalry Division (Ma Ying's Division defeated by the People's Liberation Army in Guguan), and the 14th Cavalry Brigade that was reorganized after being wiped out.

At least on the surface, the Qingma Army was full of confidence in the pre-war deployment, and Ma Jiyuan believed that it was necessary to use resolute defense to consume the strength of the besieging communist army, and once the time was ripe, the morale of the communist army was frustrated.

The idea is not small, and the determination is also very big, but can the plan of Ma Bufang and his son be realized? There are two central armies in the northwest, one is the high-footed Hu Zongnan army of Chairman Jiang, at this time Hu Zongnan still has about 100,000 remnants of the defeated generals, and is being chased by his classmate General Zhou Shidi's 18th Corps like a lost dog, where can there be any mood and strength to rescue Lanzhou, Ma Bufang and his son did not plan Hu Zongnan.
