Chapter 240: Trade-offs (Subscription Requested)
In order to avoid unnecessary controversy, Chief of Staff Wang Huchen first set the tone: "Ladies and gentlemen, before further discussion, we have reached a consensus on three points:
"First, the two divisions of the 39th Army of the Dian Army from the north will be the first to enter the battlefield, no later than May 10; Second, within two days, our army will take the initiative to evacuate Ganxian County, which seems to be safe, but in fact it is the most dangerous, and withdraw the regiment and the teaching regiment guarding the line from Ganxian County to Jiangkou Town to Xingguo; Third, the 2nd and 3rd Regiments defending Yudu were evacuated in batches and went north to Ningdu in order to concentrate their forces to fight the enemy.

"At present, the differences are: should we take the initiative to attack and fight the enemy, or should we focus on defense and lure the enemy into the depths? Now, you should discuss these two different ways of fighting. ”
"Good! I'll start with that. ”
Together with political commissar Li Zhao and head of the teaching group Dong Zongzhuo, Li Lianshan, the head of the regiment, who rushed to Yudu to attend the emergency meeting, took the lead in expressing his opinions:
"According to the analysis of the intelligence obtained, the 1st Division of the 39th Army of the Yunnan Army moved south through Fuzhou, Nancheng, and Guangchang, and the front of the troops was directed towards Ningdu City, while the 2nd Division of the 39th Army moved south from Zhangshu and Ji'an in the west, and the enemy's 1st Independent Brigade stationed in Zhangshu was likely to follow the 2nd Division."
"No matter whether our army takes the initiative to attack and concentrate its forces to attack the enemy all the way, or resists step by step and lures the enemy deeper, it cannot concentrate all its forces in one direction!"
The brothers nodded in unison, and there was no objection to this.
Li Lianshan continued: "If we decide to take the initiative to attack and defeat the first division of the 39th Army of the Dian Army on the east road, our army must send no less than two regiments of troops to be deployed in the old Yingpanguan Pass in the north of Xingguo and Longkou Town in the south, so as to prevent the 2nd Division of the Dian Army on the west road and Yang Chisheng's division in the south from attacking Xingguo, cutting off our rear road, and then encircling Ningdu from the flank and rear. ”
"In this way, there are only three regiments left in the strength of the first division of the Dian Army that can meet the east road, and the strength is roughly the same as one division of the enemy, and the enemy army must be defeated as soon as possible, so that it can quickly return to the aid of Xingguo, and then fight with the second division of the Dian army on the west road and Yang Chisheng's division on the south road."
"However, we are not sure that the first division of the Dian Army on the east road will be quickly defeated with the strength of three regiments, once the battle is in a state of stalemate, the two regiments of the Xingguo battlefield in the west will definitely fall into a bitter battle, and no one dares to guarantee the final outcome."
"If the Cantonese army joins the battlefield, it will be difficult to hold the country, and it will not be long before our army will fall into the encirclement."
"Aren't there still three companies directly under the guard battalion and the division headquarters? When the time comes, it will be completely possible to pull on the battlefield on the east road. Dong Zongzhuo said loudly.
Huang Guoxing, the head of the fifth regiment, immediately objected: "No! The guard battalion needs to deal with the battlefields on both sides, and can be used as a reserve if necessary, but the companies directly under the division headquarters must stay in Ningdu in case of accidents! ”
"That's right! Ningdu City cannot be emptied, this is the center of gravity of the entire battlefield, and there must be no problems. The second head of the regiment, Zhao Jingting, echoed.
The brothers fell silent.
Political Commissar Li Zhao looked around, and finally looked at Zheng Yi, who was staring at the map silently: "Can you transfer the four regiments of Donghua Mountain?" After nearly three months of hard training, the 1,800 officers and men of the Fourth Regiment should be ready for use. ”
Zheng Yi shook his head: "The four regiments can't move for the time being, this is the only trump card in our hands, as long as it is used, it must be used to determine the key point of the battlefield situation." ”
Duan Xuan, the head of the third regiment, and Li Liangde, the deputy head of the regiment, discussed for a moment and put forward a new idea: "Can you temporarily give up Xingguo County, if you ......?"
"No way!"
Before Duan Xuan finished speaking, Li Zhao, Dong Zongzhuo, and other five chief and deputy chief officials objected in unison.
Li Zhao said solemnly: "Xingguo is the revolutionary base with the best mass base, if we don't retreat without a fight, what will hundreds of thousands of fathers and villagers think?" Do you still want the prestige of the party and the army? Once the Kuomintang army takes revenge on the elders and villagers of Xingguo and massacres the revolutionary masses like the Ma-Ri Incident, how can we give an account to the central and local party organizations? How to explain to hundreds of thousands of fathers and villagers in Xingguo? ”
When the attendees heard this, some nodded frequently, some were helpless, and some fell into deep thought.
Knowing that it was difficult to defend Xingguo, which was about to be besieged from three sides, it was a good move to find the enemy and destroy the enemy in the movement after evacuating Xingguo, but no one dared to propose to evacuate Xingguo again.
After a long silence, Chief of Staff Wang Huchen skillfully changed the topic and moved forward in a roundabout way under the signal of Zheng Yi's eyes:
"At present, the most difficult to predict is the new 3rd Division of the Guangdong Army that went north from Shaoguan......"
"There are many options for the department, you can stop and watch after arriving in Dayu, you can bypass Ganzhou and go straight to Yudu, or you can drive directly to Ganzhou City, and then join forces with Yang Chisheng's department to attack Xingguo."
"Therefore, we should not only stare at the enemy's 39th Army from north to south, but also at the newly formed 3rd Division of the Guangdong Army from south to north. The division has just completed its reorganization, all its weapons and equipment are very advanced, and there is also an artillery company equipped with six 75 mountain guns, which will certainly be a formidable enemy once it enters the battlefield. ”
Wei Xiuquan, deputy commander of the first regiment, said worriedly: "We only have three days left to prepare for war at most, and whether we are attacking or defending, we must make a decision as soon as possible, so that all departments can quickly mobilize their troops and prepare for battle." ”
"Yes! It will take at least one day and one night to withdraw from Ganxian County to Xingguo, so make a decision quickly. ”
Wu Yaojie, deputy commander of the teaching regiment, was unwilling to continue to delay, and the three battalions of the teaching regiment were still stationed in Ganxian County to Jiangkou Town, which was more than 60 kilometers away from Xingguo County in the north.
Under the nervous and expectant gaze of the full brother, Zheng Yi finally spoke: "Staff Officer Liu, what will the weather be like in the next half month?" ”
The combat staff officer standing behind Zheng Yi hurriedly replied: "According to the visits of the local people and businessmen by the various groups, as well as the weather statistics of the same period in the past five years, the entire southern part of Gannan will enter a continuous rainy season within a week, which is very similar to the rainy season in the south of the Yangtze River. ”
"If the rainfall is heavy enough and lasts long enough, the rivers and rivers will rise and cause frequent flash floods, which will not gradually improve until mid-to-late June."
Zheng Yi looked around and asked a question that surprised everyone: "If the 3rd and 5th regiments are allowed to immediately move east and occupy Ruijin, how will the enemy troops on the eastern road choose?" Will you continue to press towards Ningdu, or will you go to the rescue of Ruijin first? If Ruijin is ignored, will you be worried that the two regiments of our army will quickly move north and go around behind them? ”
Wang Huchen clapped his hands and sighed: "Good way!" If the action is fast enough, and then the Huichang south of Ruijin is defeated, and then the momentum is created to attack the territory of Guangdong Province, maybe it will be able to attract the Cantonese army to the north. ”
"Even if it can only make the Guangdong army in the north hesitate, it will play a positive role in the overall situation, and maybe the fighter plane that will decide the outcome will appear."
"In this case, is the force too scattered?" Li Zhao asked.
Zheng Yi nodded: "Our army has never encountered so many enemies, has never encountered such a complex situation, in the case of the enemy is strong and I am weak, and the enemy is attacked on the back and back, we must make decisive trade-offs and focus on it, there is not much time for us to discuss calmly!" ”
"The Art of War: Saving land and losing people, people and land are lost, saving people and losing land, people and land exist! Since its establishment, our division has not fought a single defeat, and it is thanks to the flexible and mobile movement warfare, rush warfare, and guerrilla warfare that we cannot care about the gains and losses of one city or one place, and we must make full use of our strengths and avoid weaknesses and give full play to our army's greatest advantages in order to achieve the final victory! ”
"So I personally believe that it is necessary to temporarily evacuate Xingguo, as long as the people are fully mobilized, and all the Xingguo Party organizations, women's associations and other departments, as well as all cattle, sheep and food materials are withdrawn in advance to the Chenggang base in the reckless mountains in the north, we can avoid greater losses, and our army will have room to maneuver and turn around, and the enemy's conspiracy to encircle and annihilate our army will be shattered, and the initiative will be firmly in the hands of our army!"
"I agree with the division commander's decision!"
Chief of Staff Wang Huchen took the lead in expressing his position, and more than a dozen chief and deputy regiment commanders and political commissars such as Li Lianshan, Zhao Jingting, Duan Xuan, and Huang Guoxing also supported Zheng Yi's decision, and even Dong Zongzhuo also sided with Zheng Yi.
Li Zhao was silent for a long time, and finally nodded: "Okay, since everyone's opinions are so unanimous, I am not stubborn, the top priority is to quickly come up with a method, formulate a detailed action plan, and then implement it immediately!" ”
