One day in June 1949, Mr. Peng stood in front of the map of the Northwest Yiye Command Post, staring at the map and pondering. Suddenly, Wang Chenghan, the commander of the 181st Division, pushed the door in, holding a document in his hand, and said to Mr. Peng: "Mr. Peng, the list has been drafted, please take a look." ”
Mr. Peng took the ** list handed by Wang Chenghan, looked at it carefully and nodded, but suddenly his eyes were attracted by a set of numbers on the list - 1200 swords.
After pondering for a moment, he picked up the pen and crossed the numbers, and turned his head to ask Wang Chenghan sternly: "Do we still need a saber to fight now?" ”
Mr. Peng asked: "Now that the Liberation War is coming to an end, our army is only facing some rogue bandits, and our army's equipment has been greatly improved, and it is no longer as before, with all kinds of heavy equipment." ”
The spears and broadswords used by the Red Army have long been history, and before Wang Chenghan could explain, Mr. Peng said angrily: "Wang Chenghan, you can't fight with the enemy with bayonets." ”
Wang Chenghan smiled: "Mr. Peng, you are thinking too much, I want to use these sabers to cut the horseshoe." Mr. Peng was surprised: "You are bringing infantry, there are no horses, where do you get the horseshoe?" ”
Wang Chenghan smiled and said, "Mr. Peng, don't ask first, I will use a good saber, just look at it." ”
Mr. Peng smiled and said to Wang Chenghan: "Okay, you Wang Chenghan, and you still sell Guanzi with me." I know you must have your own idea in mind. Whether you are cutting the horseshoe or the human palm, the whole country is about to be liberated, and you must ensure the safety of every brother. ”
So, what is the use of Wang Chenghan asking for these sabers? Is it really used to cut horseshoe? And for whom will you cut the horseshoe? Next, let me answer them one by one.
It turned out that the Northwest Majia Army was mainly cavalry, and they rode on horses, coming and going like the wind, and it was difficult for our army to deal with them, and the soldiers of Yiye suffered a lot of losses. Therefore, Wang Chenghan decided to give each soldier a saber and let them cut it on the battlefield, specifically cutting the enemy's horse's paw, so as to weaken the enemy's combat effectiveness.
Wang Chenghan's tactics were very ingenious, he set up trenches and barricades, so that the saber men hid behind, and the heavy machine gunners were responsible for supporting in the back. When the Ma army approached the trench, they would slow down and fall because of the blockade, which created favorable conditions for the saber men to attack.
Sabremen quickly rushed out and engaged in positional battles with the enemy, who specialized in cutting horses' horseshoes. When the enemy is confused and wants to escape, heavy machine gunners go into battle and fire heavily on the enemy.
Because the horse's paw was cut off, the Ma family army could not escape on horseback, and could only be killed or captured. This tactic achieved miraculous results in the Battle of Fumei, allowing the Ma Jiajun to return with a great defeat.
In this battle, more than 2,000 enemies were annihilated, and Han Youlu, the commander of the 248th Division, was killed.
In our team, there are many wise and brave generals like Wang Chenghan. They are thoughtful, far-sighted, and surprisingly successful. created a myth of war in which less wins more, and finally, ushered in the birth of New China.
