Emperor Xianfeng moved, and the impact was great, and the entire battlefield changed.

The central body of the Manchu Qing Dynasty and the 400,000 troops of the Governor of Zhili were originally arranged on the Xuzhou line, and Xianfeng's southward move made this overall structure move southward with it.

Since the central body has moved south, the troops on the left and right must also act at the same time.

In this way, Xu Zeol, the governor of Sacheton, who was originally dealing with the Western Route Corps of the Heavenly Army, also moved to the camp with Bazhai.

Yixing, the general of Shengjing on the east side of Gongwei, was originally dealing with Wei Changhui, the northern legion of the Celestial Army, and also marched south with him.

For a time, the 800,000 army acted at the same time, and in the blink of an eye, there was a lot of trouble.

At this time, Mai Ke was with Zhang Yuan and Liuhua, flying over the southern part of Xuzhou.

Mai Ke is not an angry youth, he is much more ruthless than an angry youth.

Angry Qing basically complains, but Mai Ke wants to change what makes him angry.

For example, for these foreign mercenaries.

It doesn't matter if you're a widow, or a Goryeo stick, or a white devil, or anyone, if you make me angry, I'll make you disappear!

So, the three giants of the Heavenly Army, laughing together with joy, angry together, and hating the same enemy, flew directly to the sky above these Manchu Qing troops, watching them busy and thinking about how to deal with these opponents with their own ghosts, thinking in their hearts that they would die one by one without a place to be buried.

These three people, Zhang Yuan is the most honest, and they generally don't do too much, and they have to be forgiving and forgiving.

But today, when I heard that Devil Six had betrayed the country and lured those murderous robbers to China, I was furious.

"This devil is too shameless! This miscellaneous devil is too inhumane! I must ******** this time! I won't let them go back!" Zhang Yuan was furious like never before, almost roaring and swearing.

Liuhua has always been a model of gentleness, courtesy, and frugality, but at this time, he couldn't hold back the fire, and said hatefully: "It's all wolf ambitions! They all think that I am weak and bully as a big country in China! Fortunately, my heavenly army has flourished." Otherwise, it's another one that will be hated for life! In that case, let's give them a lesson that they will never forget!"

Through the high-powered telescope, Mai Ke had already seen the dust raised by the march of the Manchu Qing Dynasty's one million miscellaneous troops, and four people walked proudly at the front of the ranks.

One is naturally the sixth master, and the other is a tall white officer alongside him, presumably the commander of White Russia.

On either side of the two. There is a man in each, and one is obviously the appearance of a wolf, how do you look at it.

The other must be a Goryeo stick, one side is arrogant, the other side is servile and humble, the two are naturally mixed, and the thirteen are hard to put together like that, how to look at how awkward.

Look at the team in the back, it's really crowded!

In front of them were the miscellaneous armies of various countries, and in the back were the Manchu Qing Dynasty's own troops.

From the point of view of morale. The Manchu army was listless, and the foreigner soldiers were arrogant.

Morale is never on the same level.

The 400,000-strong army of the White Russians occupied the center and formed a huge phalanx.

If you want to say that the army is well-groomed, it is still this army.

I saw that they were carrying Mauser guns with bayonets on their shoulders, marching in orderly steps, and shouting slogans in their mouths, as if they were holding a military parade on the exercise ground.

Don't talk about it, the White Russian commander. It was the one who followed the sixth master Yixun next to him, and he really regarded this trip as training and exercises.

In his opinion. Using his 400,000 army to fight China's rebellious people is definitely killing a chicken with a big knife and Taishan pressing a small egg!

Although it was not very challenging, he still competed with all his strength and got this opportunity in his hands!

His main rival is his eldest brother. They all desperately wanted to succeed their father, Nicholas I, to the throne.

As for his eldest brother, Alessandro is conservative and has a natural advantage in competing for the throne, because he is the first in line to succeed to the throne.

Therefore. He is not like that, he is fighting for this opportunity to command the army with all his might, he has the energy, and would rather spend more on pleasing his parents.

As for Alexandrovich, he knew very well the importance of the army, and he would rather give up everything to maintain control of the army.

Such a mentality, of course, contributed to Aleksandrovich's final victory.

At the same time, in the hearts of those soldiers, they would rather accept Alexandrovich than the playboy Alexandro is old-fashioned.

Since it was necessary to encircle the army, Alexandrovich did both.

He must get all the benefits that can be won for the officers and soldiers, and in addition to this, there are additional benefits.

For example, the expedition fees paid to them by the Manchus were taken by their governments in other countries, and Aleksandrovich was all detained and issued to officers and soldiers!

On the other hand, in order to strengthen the combat effectiveness of the army, he seized every opportunity to train, even on the march, he also combined it with the training plan.

So not only do they walk neatly, but they also walk right from time to time!

Aleksandrovich also wanted to show in this way that our White Russian army is much more powerful than you! Seeing that you are tired like dogs just by marching, we have no effort!

Since the gap is so big, shouldn't we give more silver?

Aleksandrovich's enthusiasm for fighting is very high now, because he feels that it is a little challenging to fight and kill.

As for saying that there is a possibility of failure, that there is a danger of casualties, he scoffs!

Can those sick men hurt my Great White Russian army?

Although the sixth master Yixun talked and laughed with the three friends around him, he was also helpless in his heart.

As a high-ranking member of the Manchu Dynasty who is most familiar with foreign affairs, how could he not know that these people are all femme fatales, tigers and wolves?

But the fourth brother was defeated one after another, and half of the two million army was soon gone, which was faster than the melting speed of hot soup and snow!

The resources that can be mobilized by oneself have been exhausted under the previous desperate order, and it is impossible to provide continuous support to the front line, and even if all the remaining remnants of the old and young soldiers are driven over, it will only be four or five hundred thousand.

Coupled with the limited combat effectiveness of them, they were wiped out in half a day!

Therefore, he had no choice but to borrow troops from foreign countries!

Again, cede territory. Where would he be willing to do that?

But the money in the treasury, if it weren't for the last desperate plan, would have been wiped out long ago!

Some of the existing ones, he gave those foreigners as levies!

In desperation, he killed chickens and eggs, at the cost of ceding land. In exchange for them to send troops.

They didn't know that their entire troops, and even their appearance, were clearly seen by the three guys of the Heavenly Army.

As for the first line of Emperor Xianfeng and the second line of defense of the Huai River, the three of them have already been confident, and they don't need to look at it anymore.

"How about it? How to adjust our goals and plans? Since someone is coming to this troubled water, we can't let them down, right?" Mai Ke decided to end the observation and come up with the most appropriate countermeasures.

"My opinion is to divide the enemy into three layers and then separate them separately and surround them. Then attack from the north and south, and completely destroy all the enemies in the encirclement!"

Zhang Yuan took the lead in speaking and made a bold move!

"Agreed!" Liu Draw immediately agreed, and added: "After the division and encirclement, our forces may be overstretched, especially the two lines sandwiched between the enemy's troops, and we will be under great pressure! Break through a little, not as good as the rest. ”

"This is just a test of our army's combat effectiveness! It is always smooth sailing. Who can't win that battle? With a small number of troops, we can withstand the enemy's two-front charge before we can see the real chapter!" Zhang Yuan was full of confidence in the team he had trained.

Mai Ke himself calculated his own capital and the needs of the fourth-line operation.

The second line of defense of the Huai River, which is ostensibly one million against one million, actually has a variable of 400,000.

Wu Wenrong's 400,000 will be at the most favorable moment. An uprising in the line of fire not only reduces the enemy's strength, but also has the possibility of counterattacking the enemy and becoming our strength.

In this way, the power of this line. That is, 1.4 million Heavenly Army against 600,000 Qing Army.

There is a surplus of 800,000!

The second line of defense was the central corps of the Celestial Army, the Western Corps, and the Northern Officers, against the three groups of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, with 800,000 against 800,000.

This front can be said to be evenly matched.

The third front is the mixed Chinese and foreign troops under the command of the sixth master, with a total of one million!

As for the troops of the Heavenly Army, the 200,000 cavalry of the Northwest Corps is a mobile force, and using cavalry to fight the Japanese and Goryeo sticks is bound to be crushing!

Fighting the cavalry and infantry of the White Russia with cavalry is likely to be a chess opponent!

In this way, the total strength of the Celestial Army was 2.4 million, and the Manchu side was also 2.4 million.

However, the Celestial Army had to fight in four lines, while the Manchus only needed three lines!

Therefore, the forces of the Celestial Army were slightly inferior.

However, on the surface, it seems that the number of the Celestial Army is slightly smaller, but in fact, there are some factors that have not been taken into account, and these are all in favor of the Celestial Army.

The most important thing is the Celestial Army's Six Primordial Special Forces, and the Knife County Lord has long been gearing up there!

Their 200,000 experts are at least 200,000 of the regular troops of the Heavenly Army, or even a million soldiers!

Secondly, the animal allies of the wormhole are in the thousands, and as long as they need to, they can be dispatched to attack the enemy in various ways.

That's right, just let them deal with those foreigners, and they don't need language communication anyway!

Isn't the White Russians proud of their own strength? Let them try against giant elephants and reckless bulls!

And those air force warriors, who have already tried their skills before, can they show their skills now?

Finally, there is Peter's sailor!

The war area is full of rivers and lakes, which is a good place for the sailors to play, not to mention that more than 200 Jonah big fish are not something they can stop.

Wouldn't it be a great advantage to calculate it in this way!

"Okay, I'll line up!

"Shi Dakai! Order your troops to quickly insert themselves to the north of the second line of defense of the Huai River of the Qing army, and resolutely prevent Xianfeng's troops from converging with the Huai River defense line!

"Hu Yihuang, order your troops to immediately rush to the north of the Chinese and foreign miscellaneous armies, and then surround them and launch an attack, so that no one can escape from your defensive line!"

"Wormhole! Lead your animal alliance army to arrange large animals such as elephants, zebu bulls, tigers and leopards behind the Manchu miscellaneous army, put pressure on them, and attack them at any time!

"Knife Lord ......"

So he quickly learned what was going on there.

The two are far apart, they don't see each other, if the sixth child comes, dangling in front of him, it is inevitable that he will be angry and take down this thief!

However. Now is never the time to do such a thing!

So, on the eve of the arrival and convergence of Lao Liu's million-strong army, Xianfeng's central army resolutely stepped forward again and assaulted the Huai River battlefield!

"Governor Nali Nerjing listens to the order! You are in charge of the army in the middle of the road, with a total of 400,000 troops, to deal with the enemy's central army. The commander-in-chief of their corps is Chen Yucheng, and the total number of troops is 400,000!"

Xu Zeol, the governor of Sacheon, listened to the order, you are in charge of the western army, with a total of 400,000, to deal with the enemy's Western Route Corps, and the commander-in-chief of their corps is Xiao Chaogui, with a number of 200,000!"

Shengjing's general Yixing, dealing with Wei Changhui, the Northern Army of the Celestial Army;

Then, Mai Ke took off into the air. Rushing to a place between the two Huai, it was actually not far from the second line of defense of the Huguang Group Army, where Jia Wuliang and others settled.

Look again at the troops led by the governor of Huguang on the Manchu side.

The Celestial Army of the Middle Route completed the breakthrough of the main route, and sent a company of troops to search and open up for the formation of the formation, and marched to both sides of the bridge, first clearing the Qing troops who were blocking the Celestial Army Marines there, and helping them to ascend to the north bank of the Huai River.

At this time, although the heavenly army forcibly crossed the river. But the Manchu forces still had a large number of living forces, and they all immediately retreated to the second line of defense.

This second line of defense is where they really have to hold out.

The second line of defense of the governor of Huguang was set up in Suxian.

It was Zeng Guofan, the soul of the Hunan Army, who presided over this defense line!

Su County. Now Yongqiao District, Suzhou City, Anhui Province. The name of Suxian and its predecessor Suzhou originated from the "Suguo" in the Spring and Autumn Period, when it was a post station. In the early years of the Republic of China, the state hall was abolished and changed to a county, and Suzhou was changed to Su County in 1912. On July 1, 1950, the western border of Suxian County was disposed of in Suixi County, which now belongs to Huaibei City. The name Suxian was used until the 1990s, when the county was withdrawn and merged with the city. The Suxian area is equivalent to today's Suzhou City, and Suxian County is equivalent to today's Yinqiao District. Since then, the name of Suxian has disappeared.

Su County, known to the world, in ancient times, there was an uprising of Chen Sheng and Wu Guang of Daze Township. The place where Xiang Yuyuan was defeated and Yu Ji committed suicide, Ji Kang Liu Ling, one of the Seven Sages of the Bamboo Forest, was also from Su County, and "the grass on the Libi Plain, one year old and one withered" (Bai Juyi's poem, describing the area now known as Fuli).

In modern times, Pearl Sai wrote a novel based on this place, "The Earth" (Nobel Prize for Literature in 1938). Pearl Sai's pen is pronounced in the Suxian dialect: nanxuzhou. That is, "South Xuzhou". Because Suxian is located dozens of kilometers south of Xuzhou, and Suxian is close to Xuzhou, it is called "South Xuzhou".

A little closer, there is the Huaihai Battle of the Double Stack Set.

The Huaihai Campaign was the second strategic offensive campaign launched by the Chinese People's Liberation Army in the vast area of the East China and Central Plains Field Armies with Xuzhou as the center, Haizhou in the east, Shangqiu in the west, Lincheng (now Xuecheng in Zaozhuang City) in the north, and Huaihe River in the south. The Huaihai Campaign was also the battle in which the PLA suffered the heaviest casualties, destroyed the largest number of enemies, had the greatest political influence, and had the most complicated war style in the ********. Shuangduiji is a geographical name located in the southeast of Suixi County, Huaibei City, and is famous for a key battle of the Huaihai Campaign.

background

On November 22, after the People's Liberation Army annihilated Huang Baitao's corps (see Battle of Nian Zhuangwei), the Central Revolutionary Military Commission of the Communist Party of China and the General Front Committee of the Huaihai Front of the Communist Party of China determined after several consultations that the second target of the attack should be the Huang Wei Corps, which was advancing from the Mengcheng area to Suxian County. It was decided to use seven columns of the Central Plains Field Army and two columns of the East China Field Army to encircle and annihilate the Huang Wei Corps in the north and south areas of the Hunhe River, and to use the main force of the East China Field Army to block the Kuomintang troops that might be sent to Xuzhou and Bengbu respectively to ensure the encirclement and annihilation of the Huang Wei Corps.

Military

On the 23rd, Huang Wei cooperated with Li Yannian's Corps in Bengbu and Qiu Qingquan and Sun Yuanliang's Corps in Xuzhou to advance north and south, opening up the Xubang Road (Xuzhou to Bengbu) traffic, with the 10th Army on the left, the 14th Army on the right, the 18th Army in the center, and the 85th Army following up, attacking Nanpingji on the south bank of the Hun River. The 4th Column of the Central Plains Field Army carried out a stubborn resistance, and in order to lure the enemy into going deeper, it abandoned the Nanping assembly position that night. On the morning of the 24th, the Yellow Corps forcibly crossed the Huhe River, advanced to the Dongpingji, Renjiaji, Qiliqiao, and Zhukou areas, and entered the bag-shaped position preset by the Central Plains Field Army. Huang Wei found that he was in a disadvantageous position, so he ordered his troops to shrink southward in the afternoon, and prepared to advance along the south bank of the Huhe River in the direction of Hugouji and Guzhen, first to join up with Li Yannian's corps, and then to the north along the Jinpu Road (Tianjin to Pukou). At dusk of the same day, the Central Plains Field Army attacked on all fronts. The 3rd, 1st, 2nd, and 6th columns were respectively from Sunmachi, Wugou, Baisha, and Caoshi. The 11th Column attacked from east to west from Jin Xianji, and the 4th and 9th Columns attacked from north to south from Wujiahu and Shaowafang. By the morning of the 25th, the Huang Wei Corps was surrounded in an area of about 7.5 kilometers in the southwest of Suxian County, centered on Shuangduiji.

fight

On the 26th, ****** ordered Huang Wei to take advantage of the lack of strict encirclement by the People's Liberation Army and the weak troops in the southeast to break through the encirclement with all his might. 27th. Huang Weiyi ordered the 11th and 118th Divisions of the 18th Army, the 18th Division of the 10th Army, and the 110th Division of the 85th Army, with the support of tanks and aircraft, to attack the positions of the 6th Column of the Central Plains Field Army and the 12th Brigade of the Southern Shaanxi Military Region in turn, but they were all repulsed. In the breakout, Liao Yunzhou, commander of the 110th Division, led his troops to revolt. After that, Huang Wei followed the instructions of ****** to hold on and wait for reinforcements, and used the 18th Army to defend Pinggudui and Jiangudui in depth, and the 85th Army to defend the area around the waist and Lizhuang. To the west, the 14th Army defended the Zhangweizi and Yangsi Mayu areas and defended to the east, and the 10th Army defended Maweizi to the north and south between Yangzhuang and Lizhuang. The Corps Headquarters set up a small pony village north of the double stack. In view of the fact that Huang Wei's corps relied on villages and bunkers to hold on, the Central Plains Field Army adopted the method of "bunker to bunker" and "trench to trench" to attack fortified positions, and carried out a huge amount of work in close proximity, tightened the encirclement, and attacked village by village. Capture a village and consolidate a village. By early December, the defense area of Huang Wei's corps had been further reduced. There were only seven or eight regiments capable of mobile assault, and they were in a dilemma of a shortage of food and ammunition.

Come to an end

At 16:30 on the 6th, the Central Plains Field Army launched an attack on all fronts. The East Group, which was composed of the 4th, 9th, and 11th Columns attached to the main force of the special column artillery of the East China Field Army and the Independent Brigade of the Henan-Anhui Soviet Military Region, the West Group, which was composed of the 1st and 3rd Columns, the 13th Column of the East China Field Army and the 1st Artillery Division, and the South Group, which was formed by the 6th Column, the 7th Column of the East China Field Army, and the 12th Brigade of the South Shaanxi Military Region, simultaneously launched a surprise attack on the armies of the Huangwei Corps in front of them. The fighting was fierce. By the 13th, the Huang Wei Corps was compressed into a narrow area of only 1.5 kilometers from east to west. Liu Bocheng and Chen Yi issued the "Letter of Urging Huang Wei to Surrender Immediately" in due course. Huang Wei refused to lay down his arms, and in order to quickly resolve the battle, the General Front Committee of the Huaihai Front of the Communist Party of China once again adjusted its deployment and joined the Southern Group with the 3rd and 13th columns of the East China Field Army. That evening. The PLA launched a general offensive. By the evening of the 15th, all of Huang Wei's corps were annihilated.

Shuangduiji Battle: Chen Shiqu grabbed the main attack[1]

On December 11, 1948, the Huang Wei Corps of the Ace Army could not be attacked for a long time, and Chen Shiyu was ordered to personally drive a jeep to the headquarters of the Central Plains Field Army with the vanguard of Huaye. Commander Liu Bocheng and ****** Political Commissar were anxiously waiting for my father there, and when they met****** political commissar said to my father in his thick Sichuan accent:

"Comrade Chen Shiyu, you're here, we've been waiting for you for a long time!"

Commander Liu Bocheng brought a military map and told my father about the current battlefield situation, hoping that my father could help Zhongye come up with ideas.

The political commissar said: "Chen Shiyu, your reputation is very loud, and you are good at fighting, we all know it." ”

My father said: "The chief has passed the award, and I mainly do some specific work under the command of Commander Chen and Commander Su Yu. ”

The political commissar said: "Don't be modest? Chen Yi and Su Yu have both talked about you, saying that your ideas are so powerful, and you were the first to propose several major battles in East China, aren't you? This time you want to put forward some ideas for us too, the People's Liberation Army is a family!"

My father said, "Of course, please rest assured, I will live up to your expectations!"

My father put forward his views on the campaign to Commander Liu Bocheng and Political Commissar ******: The Central Plains Field Army had poor weapons, and it was difficult for Huang Wei's Corps to break through the position, mainly because they relied on the geographical advantage of the Shuangduiji Heights. The front of the double stack high ground has a good view, and they can play to the advantage of firepower from a high position. If we want to eat Huang Wei's corps, we must take down a pile concentrated in two piles, not to disperse firepower, but to concentrate firepower and concentrate forces to attack one pile of the enemy. This pile is taken, and the other pile will be easy to do.

The political commissar and Commander Liu Bocheng fully agreed with my father's opinion. My father volunteered to take on the task of attacking a double pile called the Sharp Valley Pile, and both chiefs were overjoyed. But when the ****** political commissar contacted his subordinate troops and asked them to give up a main attack position, not a single column was willing to give up the attack position.

The political commissar spread his hands helplessly and said, "It's okay, my troops here are all red-eyed with the enemy, please forgive me!"

My father then left the Nakano headquarters in a jeep.

But less than twenty minutes after his car had been gone, he noticed a soldier standing at the intersection in front of him waving at my father's motorcade. When I got closer, it turned out to be Du Yide, the political commissar of the sixth column of the second field. He knew my father's jeep,

Du Yide shouted in front of my father's car: "Is it Chief of Staff Chen Shiyu? ****** political commissar wants you to answer the phone!"

It turned out that Nakano's weapons were poor, and Huang Wei was difficult to gnaw off, so ****** asked my father to stay in Nakano to command the encirclement and annihilation of Huang Wei's corps. After the coordination of the ****** political commissar, the main attack position has been given up, that is, the attack position of the sixth column.

The political commissar said to my father on the phone: "Not only the attack position, but also the six columns are under your command." Commander of the Sixth Column, Wang Jinshan, and Political Commissar Du Yide, I have already told them, and they all listen to you!"

My father immediately summoned the leaders of these columns together and asked them to adjust their deployment and concentrate their previously scattered firepower and forces on one heap, the Sharp Valley Pile.

On the evening of December 14, my father gave the order for a general attack on Huang Wei.

After an unprecedented heavy artillery bombardment, our army's dense forces took advantage of the night to launch a strong attack on the Jiangudui. After more than two hours of fighting, our army took the Jiangudui in one fell swoop. Seeing that the Jiangudui was captured by our army, the enemy in Pinggudui panicked and organized troops to counterattack the Jiangudui many times.

Our troops condescended and shot the enemy fiercely with firepower. The enemy had no choice but to sigh.

When the political commissar learned about this, he said happily: "Chen Shiyu still has a way!"

With the help of Hua Ye, the ace army Huang Wei's corps was wiped out, and before leaving, Chen Shiqu was ordered to leave all the capture to Nakano[1]

2 reviews

In this battle, our weapons and equipment were far inferior to those of the enemy, and the reason why we were able to completely annihilate the enemy army was, on the one hand, the correct layout and command of the campaign, and on the other hand, the heroic fighting ability of the People's Liberation Army and not afraid of sacrifice. In the end, the People's Liberation Army wiped out more than 100,000 people in 1 corps headquarters and 4 armies and 11 divisions of the Kuomintang Army, including more than 46,000 officers and soldiers under Lieutenant General Corps Commander Huang Wei, more than 46,000 killed and wounded, more than 5,500 people in the uprising, and 3,300 people surrendered. 870 artillery pieces, 15 tanks, more than 300 automobiles, and a large number of other weapons and ammunition were seized
