Chapter 20, Section 2
Xie Zhixian, who was in his prime, was not over thirty years old. He had a pair of wise eyes, brave faces, broad foreheads, short thick black hair, and wide glasses on his nose. He was wearing a red five-pointed military cap embroidered with red star. His eyes were silently staring at the map on the table, as if he was thinking about something?
Xie Zhixian was thinking about the Yunnan combat plan. According to the instructions, he should be steady and step by step. Relying on the superior forces of the People's Army, he used the absolute advantage of the artillery of the troops to forcibly attack and encircle and suppress the Qujing Dian Army. However, Lin Sheng would never agree to such a forced attack. The consequence was that the troops suffered too much casualties, which was not conducive to the troops' next attack on Guangdong and Guangxi. Xie Zhixian was always low-key at the Chengdu combat conference because he knew that he had too little qualifications in the troops and had not directly commanded the front-line combat troops.
He was directly promoted from a local army to a governor of Guizhou. He was just appreciated and used by Lin Sheng, and other senior generals were not convinced. It was difficult~~, he stretched out his body and shook his head in sighing. He was lying on the map again, thinking about combat deployment: now he has a special division, two regular divisions, two local divisions, with a total force of about 60,000. According to the information, the Qujing Dian Army and the miscellaneous troops fled from various parts of Yunnan also had 50,000 or 60,000 people. He also had to divide his troops into Luoping, which was difficult to fight!
"Report!" The head of the combat intelligence department of the Second Army took three steps at a time and two steps. He came in a panic and said: "The reconnaissance forces of Anshun local division reported that they found a large number of Yunnan troops gathering in the direction of Qujing near Ma Street north of Luoping." Xie Zhixian hurried to the big map on the right wall and asked: "How many enemy forces are there?" "It is estimated that there are one or two divisions of troops, and the reconnaissance forces then exchange fire with Zhizhi. The Yunnan Army also carried heavy artillery." "Yes! You immediately notify Wang Tianjie, Liu Mingde and the commanders of each division, and the political commissar held an emergency meeting one hour later. The telegram ordered the Anshun local division to retreat to the front line of Dongshan defense, and the commanders did not have to attend the meeting. If the Yunnan army attacked, it was necessary to block the enemy for twelve hours." "Yes!" The head of the combat intelligence department also felt the seriousness of the situation. He quickly wrote the order, and after Xie Zhi signed the first, he could rush to the radio room to convey the order.
When Jiang Qi, the commander of the Third Division, received the notice of the meeting, had already led the leading unit to the south of Qujing, which was less than 30 kilometers away from Qujing. He immediately ordered the troops to garrison on site, wait for the follow-up troops, and told the advance group to pay attention to the activities of the Qujing Dian Army at any time. This sudden meeting notice made Jiang Qi realize that the situation had changed. When Jiang Qi used the fastest speed to arrive at the command post of an unknown town east of Fuyuan, he found that all the people who were attending the meeting had arrived. The venue was much quieter than usual, and everyone was obviously in the same mood as Jiang Qi, and they all listened to Xie Zhixian's combat deployment with breath.
"Comrades, due to the change of the situation, we had to change the combat deployment. The Yunnan Army, which was originally in Xilin, Guangxi, had already withdrawn Luoping half a month ago, but when we were reinforced by the Yunnan Army, we discovered that this was because we were too careless in intelligence work. I will bear this responsibility, and I will report to Chengdu truthfully." Xie Zhixian looked around the venue for a week and said, "There are two divisions of the Yunnan Army to reinforce the Yunnan Army. Do we have the strength to eat all the Yunnan Army in one go? Comrades, do you imagine?" Xie Zhixian walked to the wall and pointed to the map and said, "Majie is 80 kilometers away from Qujing in a straight line, and there is Dongshan in the middle. According to the typical characteristics of mobile warfare in modern combat teaching compiled by Commander Lin, combined with our actual situation, we are fully capable of eating the two enemy divisions first, and then turning back to clean up Qujing's enemy's enemy
People. Dongshan is a strategic location, the road to Bijing to Qujing. Now the Anshun local division stationed in Dongshan is the one who is stationed in Dongshan. The troops and weapons and equipment are relatively weak, so it is necessary to change the deployment of the troops." Xie Zhixian sat down and the combat intelligence chief then stood up and said: "According to the combat deployment of the Second Army's headquarters, 1. The third division has been replaced by the Dongshan defense line. The task is to block the attack of reinforced Yunnan Army and prevent the Qujing Yunnan Army from responding from the north. 2. The Fourth Division marched south from Fuyuan, and must take down Majie in the afternoon tomorrow and cut off the escape route of the Yunnan Army in the south. Then, attack and advance in the direction of Dongshan to oppress the Yunnan Army. 3. The special division must detour to the western flank of the Yunnan Army and wait for the order of the military headquarters to attack. 4. The two divisions of Anshun follow the east and encircle Qujing to feint the attack of Qujing Yunnan Army. The artillery units of each unit will be concentrated on the north side of Dongshan, and be directly commanded by the military headquarters."
"Our eating the four divisions of the Yunnan Army in the east is equivalent to liberating half of Yunnan. I think everyone will understand the truth here. What I want to say is that your third division has a heavy responsibility, and the success or failure of victory depends on whether your third division can defend Dongshan." Xie Zhixian looked at Jiang Qi and political commissar Wu Ming seriously and said: "Liu Mingde and I, Commander Wang, are waiting for your good news at the military headquarters!"
After returning from the meeting, Jiang Qi immediately ordered the troops to turn around and guard against Dongshan. Jiang Qi and political commissar Wu Ming climbed Wanling Mountain south of Dongshan, and vaguely saw Qujing and the Yunnan Army positions around him from the telescope. To the south, a road stretched north and south through Wanling Mountain. Among the overlapping and rolling mountains, the Yunnan Army could be clearly seen from the south. Jiang Qi deployed the Second Regiment on the right wing and the Third Regiment on the left wing. The Black Mountain in the middle was the one-regiment and one battalion of the Ace Force of the Third Division. Other troops were hidden on the mountainside as reserves.
"I think I want to fight with the commander of the Yunnan Army!" Jiang Qi said to the political commissar beside him with a giggle.
"Fighting?" Wu Ming asked in confusion for a moment.
"Yeah!" Jiang Qi continued to say slowly: "Look, are there artillery soldiers at the end of the Yunnan Army? Although the small artillery of the Yunnan Army cannot harm people, the stones that are cheap will hit people. Our army's fortifications are now squatting on the mountain. It is a waste of money. I see, when the enemy shoots, most of the troops will be pulled behind the mountain and only one squad will be sent to the front of the mountain. First, as a warning function; second, before the enemy reaches the top of the mountain, they will knock him for a while, give him a killing stick, rub the spirit of the Yunnan Army; third..."
"Cover the troops into the position!" Wu Ming happily added.
Half an hour later, the Yunnan Army, who walked to the foot of the mountain, realized that the Sichuan Army was not so chewy. The vanguard of the Yunnan Army continued to wait for its artillery troops to arrive. Finally, at noon, the Yunnan Army fired first. With all the artillery fire, the Yunnan Army continued to shoot at the top of the mountain. For a moment, the smoke filled the mountain and the broken heads were flying all over the sky. The troops shaded halfway up the mountain listened to the sound of cannons happily, and someone quipped: "The fireworks that the Yunnan Army welcomed us were really unique." "No, it was the sound of fireworks that sent their own life!" "Be careful of the rocks rolling down the mountain!" A commander reminded the rash soldiers.
The well-trained soldiers of the Yunnan Army scattered their formations under the cover of artillery fire, and the focus of the attack was to the Heishan defense line of a regiment and a battalion. The Yunnan Army used the favorable terrain at the rock cracks at the foot of the mountain to gradually approach the first battalion's position under the cover of light and heavy machine guns. The bullets screamed and flew, and the falling artillery shells aroused unruly smoke columns circling on the top of the mountain, and the flames rushed into the sky. From this point, it can be seen that the combat effectiveness of the Yunnan Army is more than a hundred times stronger than that of the Guizhou warlords.
"Comrades! The Yunnan Army has come up, everyone is ready to fight!" With the commander's order, the soldiers behind the stone jumped up and rushed to their own combat posts. Screaming bullets passed by overhead, and they saw the darkness and panting in the life of the Yunnan Army increasing its speed to approach the position.
The first battalion chief's sleeves were rolled high, his arms were like two iron rods, he inserted his left hand to his waist, raised his pistol with his right hand and pointed to the front, shouting: "Comrades, fight me! Hit hard!" In an instant, a strong wind blew on the top of the mountain. The light and heavy machine guns, rifles, and mortars of the first company, the second company, and the third company all launched fierce storms with the enemy. The firepower of the Yunnan Army was not weak, the bullets roared in the air, the shells cut off the trunks, ignited the weeds, and overturned the ground. The smoke and dust rolled, and a thick stream of water filled the mountains and fields.
The thick smell of gunpowder, shouts, killing sounds, guns and the sound of the troops mobilized the troops, intertwined, shaking the mountain and the valley. Seeing that the Yunnan Army was only fifty meters, thirty meters, twenty meters, and ten meters away from the top of the mountain, suddenly a mountain-like cracked and shattered shouts, hundreds of grenades exploded among the Yunnan Army's crowd. The terrified Yunnan Army still did not seize the Black Mountain Highlands at a heavy price, and had to end its first charge, fight and retreat, and retreat step by step even though it was defeated.
Jiang Qi saw all this. He sighed deeply in his heart and said to the political commissar Wu Ming beside him: "Dian Army is the Yunnan Army! The Guizhou army has not been compared with it. The Black Mountain Highland is the one that the Dian Army must seize, and it is necessary to draw a battalion to strengthen the Black Mountain defense line." "Well! I think it is necessary. At the same time, it is necessary to telegraph the military headquarters that the Yunnan Army's artillery units are more than we imagined. Judging from the accuracy of the landing points of the artillery shells on the top of the mountain, their artillery is really well-trained and not worse than us at all! It is estimated that the next attack of the Yunnan Army will be more fierce." Wu Ming said with concern in his heart. "Wu Ming, I really can't figure it out. The artillery is behind us, but it doesn't fire a single shot, which will innocence increase the casualties of our troops." Jiang Qi turned his head and looked at the artillery position behind him, saying a little dissatisfied.
"Teacher Commander! Since the founding of the People's Army, let alone the two of us, the commanders of other divisions and brigades, except Commander Jing Peilin and Political Commissar Xie. Others..." Wu Ming did not stop halfway through his speech.
