Military historians have different opinions on the fact that a certain unit of the Red Army broke into Sichuan and stayed on the Sichuan border for more than two years, but Liu Xiang, as the king of Sichuan, did not use the main force to carry out "encirclement and suppression".
In the end, it was attributed to the conflict between the central government under the leadership of the bald boss and the Sichuan warlords. Liu Xiang, who had newly settled in Sichuan, was busy stabilizing all parts of Sichuan and was unable to take care of the border mountainous areas.
Secondly, if you want to attack mountainous areas that are easy to defend and difficult to attack, the Sichuan Army alone may have to pay huge casualties. While weakening your own strength, you may also have to introduce the Central Army into Sichuan. Liu Xiang, who has always been shrewd, will never make such a choice. Moreover, northern Sichuan
, has always been the territory of another warlord Liu Cunhou, but how could Liu Xiang, who was only nominally Liu Cunhou's commander, go out and do that?
However, Liu Lang, who came to this era and gradually integrated into the family, knew through his understanding of his two elders that things might not be as simple as military historians imagined.
Their analysis is certainly correct, and those reasons are absolutely valid, but the two old warlords who always put "home" before the country are also investing. As long as their core interests are not touched, they will just watch and watch.
In the battle with the Red Army at Baizhang Pass, Liu Xiang might not have been so desperate if he hadn't seen that the Western Sichuan Plain was about to be lost and the Chengdu Plain was open.
Not only Liu Xiang and Liu Wenhui are conserving their strength and investing, but so are warlords such as Chen Jitang in Guangdong. Otherwise, how could the layers of chains laid by the bald man be so easy to open? Can the weak red army finally grow up in such a difficult environment?
It is a behemoth that no one can ignore. In that special historical period, one of the important reasons was the complicated domestic situation dominated by warlords who were accustomed to adhering to the sequential concept of "family, country and world".
Of course, the most important thing is that the red army's guiding ideology of "let the people be the masters of the country" has won the hearts of the people who account for 90% of the country's population. That is the main reason for the establishment of the Red Republic.
Although what Liu Xiang just said sounded very much like the commander's instructions to his subordinates before the war, what Liu Lang heard clearly was that this battle is not what I want to fight, but what the government wants. You can handle it yourself.
Well, whether you can win the battle or not is secondary. The most important thing is, don't throw the soldiers in your hand into it.
Yes, the independent regiment in Liu Lang's hands has long been assigned to his side by Liu Xiang. Naturally, he does not want his strength to be damaged. If it were an army from another department, I am afraid that the military order Liu Lang received would be death.
Order, if you don't fight, you will be sorry to the government and to him, Commander Liu. If you win, that's it. If you lose, maybe a defeated command will kill you and then swallow up the command of this army, warlord.
Don't be too slippery in this game.
Don't say that Liu Lang himself can't fight. Now that the big bosses have said this, it's even better. Especially, the new group deputy is very interesting. He not only reflects his unique strategic vision, but also allows Liu Lang to smell it.
A familiar smell, very familiar.
After putting down the phone, Liu Lang took out the contract that he had always kept on his body, handed it to Xiao Fenghua, and gave him careful instructions. Watching Xiao Fenghua leave under the protection of Lu Shandong and Shan Ying, Liu Lang finally
He patted his collar and looked at his little orderly Sanchuaner pitifully: "Let's go, this time I will let you see what war is."
Following Liu Lang's order, a vast army of independent regiments came out with the death battalion as the vanguard, the first infantry battalion as the middle, the fourth infantry battalion as the rear, the new battalion as the reserve team, the artillery battalion, the supply company, and the engineer company.
Depart in a grand way.
The independent regiment's march this time was much slower than when it went to the anti-Japanese battlefield. Walking twenty miles a day was considered good. However, walking slowly does not mean that the independent regiment dispatched a large army to enjoy the mountains and rivers, and various marching training subjects
It was carried out in various departments of the independent regiment in an orderly manner.
The recruits in the reserve camp were trained to be like dogs every day, at least more than three times. The veterans of the independent regiment watched the recruits "walking" back and forth on the mountain road in groups of seven carrying logs weighing more than 300 kilograms. That was because
There is currently a shortage of equipment, and many equipment has not yet been installed. Liu Lang feels that the standard load on the recruits has not yet reached 20 kilograms, which is not enough to meet the strength, so he temporarily gave these recruits additional training subjects.
Even the female soldiers led by Mi Zhi are no exception. The thirty female soldiers are fully occupied. The female soldiers in a group of six are carrying logs similar to those of the male soldiers and are arduously moving forward on the mountain road. It is not only beautiful but also beautiful.
Despite the strong scenery, even the veterans, who often enjoyed teasing the new recruits led by the losers, looked at the female soldiers with respect.
They are not only women, nor are they just the widows or sisters of their comrades in arms, they use their performance to tell everyone that they are qualified to be comrades in arms and can become comrades in arms who can rely on each other.
Without the leading soldiers of the special brigade, all reconnaissance was completed by the leading soldiers sent by the death battalion. The independent regiment headquarters command company, which was behind the first infantry battalion, was also dispatched in full. In accordance with wartime regulations, a wartime regiment headquarters was established. During the march,
On the way, Liu Lang would listen to reconnaissance reports from the death camp every day.
Although it is still far away from the target, Liu Lang's requirements for the top soldiers are strictly in accordance with the wartime layout. They must be ten miles away from the army, even if the mountains are high and the forests are dense, there is no exception.
For this reason, Zhou Shiyu, the commander of the Xinke Infantry Battalion, has never been scolded by Liu Tuanzuo. According to Liu Lang, without the special brigade, your infantry battalion will become blind? If someone fires a few cannons from ten miles away,
It happened to hit the ammunition truck of the baggage company. Who is responsible?
He was not the only one who was also scolded, but also the artillery battalion commander Zhao Ergou. This time, there were no strong men accompanying the artillery battalion. All the cannons of the artillery battalion had to be transported by the less than 200 personnel of the artillery battalion, which was not yet full. The mules assigned to them
There are only twenty horses, and with this little transport capacity, I am afraid that even artillery shells cannot be transported.
Obviously, the eight mortars, six twin-mounted anti-aircraft guns, and two Bofors mountain guns weighing 700 kilograms during the march had to be transported manually.
What's even worse is that this is not a plain. Guangyuan itself is a mountainous county, and the march location is a vast mountain. On rugged mountain roads, 200 people have to transport such steel lumps by manpower. The difficulty can be imagined.
Poor Zhao Ergou didn't even go to Liu Tuanzuo to cry, but he was scolded bloody by Liu Lang who came to the door in person. The reason was that his artillery battalion was twenty minutes late from reaching the stationing position specified by each ministry.
"If there is no transport capacity during wartime, will your artillery battalion not plan to participate in the battle? What will be the consequences of delaying military aircraft? Is this how your long-distance artillery march training project is trained?" This is Liu Langdi
Give the artillery battalion commander, who is full of grievances, some harsh questions.
The next day, the artillery battalion arrived at the station nearly an hour earlier than the stipulated time. The cost was that the artillery battalion commander’s shoulder was red and swollen from the weight of the disassembled artillery parts. The entire artillery battalion, from the battalion commander to the top soldier, was mobilized
, carried on the shoulder, carried the cannon and artillery shells on his back, and surpassed the speed of the infantry.
The battalion-level officers, who had some idea of what was going on, now had some clues. Is this like going to war? It's more like the whole regiment is marching long distances for training!
