1in April, 948, shortly after the Northwest Field Army launched the Xifu Campaign, its right-wing sniper position was continuously breached by the reorganized 82nd Division, and the left wing was also in crisis.

On April 23, Pei Changhui Corps 1 1 Regiment has arrived in Fuping and Sanyuan areas and continues to advance in three ways. Peng immediately ordered the 4th PeiChangHui Corps to attack the westward position between FuFeng and Qishan. The 6th Brigade of Zongdu stopped Chiang Kai-shek who aided Vietnam on Longhai Road in Jinjing Town, Luoju Town and Guo Town, west of Wugong. 6. The 77 1 Regiment and 16 Regiment of the 4th Brigade of Zongxin went south to Qishan area to strengthen the blocking force of 4th Brigade; 1, 2 Four brigades (less than 6 brigades) * * * continue to advance to Baoji.

The main commander of the Northwest Field Army, the second right-hand boss Peng.

In fact, only four brigades and four regiments crossed the Jinghe River and assembled in the area north of Zhaoling in Liquan. On April 23, Nishino named Liu Mao, deputy brigade commander of No.4 longitudinal police 1 brigade, and some engineers of No.3 electric police, and went deep behind enemy lines to destroy the Sanyuan-Xianyang railway bridge. Because the area was heavily guarded by the enemy, after four days of dealing with the enemy, Liu Mao's electric power department not only failed to complete the task, but also lost contact with the 4 th vertical, and finally had to detour back to the Guanzhong border region. Because Liu Maogong took away the main battalion, the four verticals with weak troops and poor combat effectiveness were even more stretched.

At dawn on April 25th, the 3rd Brigade of the 4th Longitudinal Guard was strengthened with 1 Brigade and 1 Battalion. Under the leadership of brigade commander Huang Luobin, he was ordered to March all the way from Ganling Town in Ganxian County to Xinglin Town to take over the position of the 2nd and 6th Brigade, and prepare to stop Jiang's reinforcements on the way from Xi 'an to Baoji to ensure the main force to capture Baoji. Wang Shitai, commander of the 4th column, and Zhang Zhongliang, political commissar, led the brigade directly under the column and the police 1 brigade (the 2nd and 3rd police regiments owe two battalions) to stay in Ganling Town.

At 7 o'clock in the morning, the main force of the third police brigade arrived in Xinglin and Fufeng, and the fifth police regiment occupied Xinglin to control Xibao Highway and took on the task of frontal resistance. The Seventh Police Corps occupied the front line of Fufeng Famen Temple, assisted the Fifth Police Corps, and ensured the safety of the rear of the brigade and the flank of the Fifth Police Corps. The brigade command post is located in Changming Temple in the northwest of Xinglin.

At 8 o'clock in the morning, the vanguard troops of the 38 th Division and the 65 th Division took turns to storm the position of the 5 th Police Corps. At about 9 o'clock, the main force of the 203rd Division of the Youth Army detoured to Famen Temple and was stopped by the 7th Police Corps.

At around 20: 00, the 3rd Brigade of the 65th Division 1 87th Brigade was reorganized, and the 78th Brigade of the/KLOC-0 Division was also reorganized from Yangling to the 65th Division, followed by the 3rd Brigade of the 36th Division. Police 5 regiment is in danger of being besieged in Xinglin town. Huang Luobin, the brigade commander of the third police brigade, and Guo Bingkun, the political commissar, negotiated urgently and ordered the fifth police brigade to retreat to the west. At the same time, they also ordered the Seventh Police Corps to retreat in the direction of the short-lived and Yidian Town in Qinghua Town. In the face of the strong enemy, the third police brigade retreated while fighting, and retreated to the second line of defense in Qinghua Town and Yidian Town that night.

At dawn on the 26th, the reorganized 65th Division launched another onslaught on the position of the Police Third Brigade in two ways. After more than three hours of fierce fighting, the defense line was finally broken. The third police brigade retreated to the north of Qishan and just began to build fortifications. The pursuers of the BGF 65th Division have arrived, and the two sides are fighting again. By noon, the position of the third police brigade was breached again, and the commander of the fourth longitudinal ordered the troops to retreat to the northeastern mountainous area of Qishan without asking their superiors and informing neighboring troops.

After the vertical retreat, Chiang Kai-shek reinforcements occupied Fufeng and Qishan. Attacking Baoji's 1 vertical and 2 vertical left-wing portals are wide open. Peng hurriedly ordered the 2 vertical and 6 independent brigades to retreat to the defense, and at the same time made the 6 vertical and 4 new brigades coming from Changwu all the way cooperate with the 6 independent brigades to block the defense gap.

On the afternoon of April 26th, the New 4th Brigade launched a fierce battle with the 65th Division160th Brigade reorganized by Chiang Kai-shek's reinforcements in Shilipu area east of Fengxiang County. There are two highlands on both sides of the road in Shilipu Village. There used to be a stockade on the high ground, surrounded by walls and ditches, which was an ideal sniper position. The 77 1 Regiment and 16 Regiment of the New Fourth Brigade held fast to the highlands on both sides of the highway, and their positions changed hands many times, but they finally prevented the reorganization of the 65th Division.

At the same time, the new 4 th Brigade fought to the death, and 2 columns, 6 brigades and 3 regiments maneuvered along the railway line and on both sides of the Weihe River to prevent Chiang Kai-shek's central line reinforcements from being reorganized 1 Division 3 Brigade. By the afternoon of April 27th, the reorganization of 1 division finally stopped in the area east of Yuan Daying.

The left wing of the Northwest Field Army is in danger, which includes both Peng's mistakes in the deployment of troops and the problems in the fighting style of the Fourth Battalion.

Maybe it's too deep to attack Yulin, Yichuan and Luochuan for a long time. Peng, under the jurisdiction of 3 columns, 8 brigades, ***2 1 regiment, dispatched 1 longitudinal and 2 longitudinal 4 brigades, 12 regiment. Nearly 30 thousand people attacked Baoji, which had only more than 2 thousand defenders, and these troops. This, of course, ensured the capture of Baoji in a short time and avoided a protracted battle, but it led to a serious shortage of sniper forces. Only four brigades * * * and nine regiments have participated in the battle to stop the reinforcements of Pei Changhui Corps 1 1.

These nine regiments are either weak in combat effectiveness or newly formed, and some have been greatly weakened in previous battles. As the number of aid to the enemy is as high as 1 1 brigade, the blocking forces of nine regiments can only passively hard-top, and they can't spare any effort to launch a flank counterattack. In this way, there will be no scruples about helping the enemy, and it is bound to move forward. Even if the Northwest Field Army captured Baoji in a short time, it is impossible to rest in Baoji for a week as originally expected and fully digest the fruits of victory.

According to the situation at that time, Baoji's enemy defense has not been significantly enhanced. Peng can completely deploy two or even three brigades or six or nine regiments from the troops attacking Baoji to form a mobile reinforcement regiment, attack from the enemy's flank, and strive to annihilate the enemy. If you do this, your worries about helping the enemy will be "surrounded by aid" and you will inevitably become cautious. In this way, the troops of the 3-6 regiment under siege still have enough time to win Baoji.

If the improper use of troops is due to Peng's misjudgment of the battlefield situation, then the improper use of troops is his "no confidant."

It turns out that the 2 vertical and 6 independent brigades have occupied the front line of Xinglin Town, and Peng urgently ordered the 4 vertical and 6 independent brigades to send troops to take over the defense. The actual effect is that both the 6 th Brigade alone and the 3 rd Brigade of the Police have to rush to occupy the position and engage in a firefight with the enemy who cooperates with the defense, and it is too late to get familiar with the environment, change the terrain and adjust the firepower of the troops, which directly affects the blocking effect. As a veteran of the battlefield, Peng may be worried that the only 6 brigades of the new army will be placed in the main direction of aiding the enemy, so he let the veteran police brigade 3 take over. Facts have proved that changing the deployment at the last minute did not achieve Peng's expected effect. The young 6th Brigade performed much better than the 4th Brigade.

The fourth longitudinal division, with its thin strength and weak combat effectiveness, divided its troops twice, further weakening the blocking force. With the strength of seven battalions, it is inevitable that the 3 rd regiment of the first-line police can't stop the two integrated divisions from assisting the enemy's assault. However, the operation of the large corps requires a strong sense of organization, discipline and overall situation. The guerrilla habit of withdrawing without saying hello when a strong enemy strikes has aggravated the crisis of the left wing of the Northwest Field Army. For this, the relevant person in charge of Vertical 4 is hard to blame. If New Brigade 4 and Independent Brigade 6 hadn't worked hard, it's hard to say whether there would be a passive situation in which Baoji was not conquered, and 1 vertical siege and 2 vertical siege were attacked by enemy reinforcements, leading to defeat.
