At a time when the arduous and fierce battle was being fought in the direction of Taishan, the military headquarters urgently dispatched a regiment from a friendly neighborhood, and even Zhu Zhudao, the veteran regiment commander and deputy division commander of the first regiment, could not stand the situation of Taishan, and took the initiative to ask Yingying to lead the reinforced regiment and reserve to go out to Taishanfang to reinforce the second regiment.

This request was rejected by Liang without question.

Qu Xiangqian, commander of the 1st Regiment, had nothing to do and repeatedly reported that he had not found any attacking troops in front of him, and demanded that the artillery fire assigned to the 1st Regiment be diverted to reduce the pressure on the 2nd Regiment in terms of firepower, which was also refuted by Liang Bida.

Chen Mohan saw that Liang Bida insisted on going his own way, and was heartbroken, grabbed the political commissar Zhang Pujing's generous statement, and asked for more troops for the second regiment. In this division, only Zhang Pujing can compete with Liang Bida at present. Since Zhang Pujing partnered with Liang Bida, the two don't know how many times they have quarreled. is also strange, Liang Bida can not take anyone in his eyes, but he is helpless against Zhang Pujing and often makes concessions. "This person has always regarded himself as an authentic Marxist, and there is no way, theoretically he can't be said, who made us a worker and peasant cadre?" Liang Bida also explained to Zhu Zhudao, Qu Xiangqian and others in a serious manner, and there must be no ambiguity about Zhang Kesi's orders - Liang Bida actually called Zhang Pujing "Zhang Kesi" on some occasions.

"Zhang Kesi" judged the situation and also thought that Liang Bida's behavior of not moving his troops was suspicious, and he went to the war room to argue with reason. Liang Bida ignored it with a gloomy face at first, and Zhang Pujing suppressed his anger and said, "What do you mean, Old Liang?" If there is no reinforcement of Taishan, the Second Regiment may be completely annihilated, and this will become the biggest defeat since the formation of the Second Division. Can you be held accountable? ”

Liang Bida frowned, his eyes were still lingering on the sand table, and he pondered for a while before he raised his head, looked at Zhang Pujing without yin or yang, stalked his neck, and said, "Defeated?" Lao Zhang, I told you unceremoniously, you are still short of fighting. How do you know my stress? And he said, "What is the matter with the defeat?" I, Liang Bida, have won so many battles, can't I lose once? Even if I lose, I will fight like this, and this time I will fight a defeat to show you. ”

Zhang Pujing was furious, smashed the radio station, and said: "Liang Daya, if you don't reinforce Taishan, I will report to the corps and stop your command." What are you kidding you? You're a cub selling Ye Tian, don't you feel distressed? ”

Liang Bida was still not shocked, and said, "Lao Zhang, don't get excited. The defeat I am talking about is the defeat of the Second Division. For the sake of the overall situation, not to mention the second regiment, even our second division is an army, and we will not hesitate to do anything if we run out. I would like to remind you that even if there are no clouds in the direction of the harvest, I will not be able to move a single soldier there. ”

Liang Bida's words were calm, but the meaning was resolute, and he still refused to adjust the deployment of troops.

A few hours later, a regiment sent by the corps arrived, and it was only at this time that Liang Bida weighed it vertically and horizontally, and reluctantly agreed that the two battalions of the third regiment led by deputy political commissars Zhao Wuxian and Tao Sanhe, who were in reserve, would go to Taishan to reinforce the second regiment. At the same time, he ordered Zhu Zhudao to lead the elite regiment with strong soldiers and horses that was subordinate to his neighbors to enter the Gains, and gave thousands of instructions, saying: "The Gains are still a weak link, and we must not take it lightly." ”

Chen Mohan saw that most of the second regiment had been consumed, and the reinforcements of the two battalions were tantamount to a drop in the bucket, I was afraid that there would be no return, so he turned his head and burst into tears, and when he turned his face, his blood vessels swelled, and he almost roared at Liang Bida and asked for continued reinforcements with heavy troops. But Liang Bida still blushed and insisted on standing still. Not only that, but he also asked Chen Mohan to order all defensive positions, perform their duties, and not act rashly. Whatever situation arises in the direction of Taishan, the division headquarters will handle it, and the commanders of all positions are not allowed to request other tasks from the division or interfere with the determination of the division commander.

The battle in the direction of Taishan lasted for two days and two nights, and it was not until the morning of the third day that Yang Tinghui transferred Jiangjiahu's third division into the position, and the old and sick of the second regiment withdrew. After the battle, the experience of the Second Regiment was like a dream, and there were only less than two companies of troops left in sound arms and legs, with more than 400 killed and more than 500 lightly wounded and seriously wounded.

Soon after the battle of Taishan, Liang Bida's second division was ordered to move to the area of Jingang Road to rest.

Whether it was for Liang Bida or Chen Mohan, it was an unforgettable day. Several surviving cadres of the Second Regiment, including the new regiment commander Chen Shiyuan, political commissar Ma Xiping, a battalion commander, two company commanders, and even a few platoon commanders, secretly found Chen Mohan and asked Chen Mohan to take the lead in suing Liang Bida. The reason for the complaint was that later facts proved that there was no battle in the direction of Takkan, and when there were heavy casualties in the direction of Taishan, Division Commander Liang always stood still and refused to reinforce him, which almost caused a tragic situation in which the entire Second Regiment was annihilated.

That night, Chen Mohan drank all the cadres of the Second Regiment who were coaxed back, and pondered all night in front of the sand table behind closed doors, not knowing what the result was, but never mentioned the battle of Taishan Mountain.

Soon after, the Panmunjom negotiations began, the war situation relaxed, Liang Bida, Zhu Zhudao and others went to a certain city in the northeast to recuperate, Chen Mohan obtained through an acquaintance working in the Corps the information on the deployment of troops in the front and rear of the battle and the enemy who was worthy of the face, and buried the matter in the bottom of his heart.

After the reconstruction, because there were sufficient cadres during the war years, all the top and bottom were full, and everyone was equally young, and some army commanders and regiment commanders were almost the same age level, except for a small number of local work, everyone had nowhere else to go, so the team of the Second Division basically did not move for more than ten years.
