Chapter 293, encirclement and reinforcement
Hong Xuezhi nodded with satisfaction after listening, and then looked at the adjutant who was skilled and waved his hand, and the adjutant saw Hong Xuezhi's warrant, so he respectfully came to Li Tianyou and Wan Yi's side, took out a piece of paper and handed it to Li Tianyou.
"This is General Lin Biao's telegram, please take a look at General Li!" After listening to the adjutant's words, Li Tianyou already knew that this was Lin Biao's order to call Hong Xuezhi as the commander-in-chief of operations yesterday, so he took the telegram, and as expected, he looked at Hong Xuezhi respectfully.
"Obey the teacher's arrangement!" Hong Xuezhi nodded with satisfaction after hearing this, and then looked at Li Tianyou.
"Now, where are my 6th Column and 17th Division and North Manchurian's troops?"
"Teacher, the seventeenth division of the sixth column is the same column and the third division of the same column, stationed in the outskirts of the Kuomintang army's Catholic church in Ludong City, to prevent cutting off the back road of the Catholic church!" Hong Xuezhi's eyes flashed with a clear gaze after hearing this, no wonder he Li Tianyou must annihilate the remnants of Chen Mingren, I am afraid that he still doesn't know that Chen Mingren has been evacuated to the area of Xiaodong Middle School and Petrochemical Plant in Siping East City, so he looked at Li Tianyou and said.
"Tianyou, are you puzzled, why the Ximan Column has not broken through Kant Huomo Street, and the remnants of Chen Mingren have not jumped out?" After listening to Hong Xuezhi's words, Li Tianyou nodded respectfully, and Hong Xuezhi looked at Li Tianyou and said.
"Chen Mingren had evacuated the Catholic Church from the rear of Kant Huomo Street when you attacked Kant Huomo Street, and now it is in the area of Xiaodong Middle School and Petrochemical Factory in Dongcheng District, and the National Army of Kant Huomo Street is a dead soldier set up by Chen Mingren, so you understand, you have made a mistake with Chen Mingren this time, you are too eager for quick success, do you know that now a large army has been pressed outside Siping City, and ten divisions have come to prepare to annihilate our North Manchurian, South Manchurian, and Western Manchurian coalition forces in Siping City! You, the obsession is too heavy, and there is less sobriety in strategizing, this is where the general's disappointment lies! ”
Li Tianyou listened to Hong Xuezhi's words, and for a while he was in a cold sweat, he heard Hong Xuezhi say that ten divisions had gathered outside Siping City to besiege Siping, and he suddenly realized, he understood that since he broke through Siping City, the in-depth battle fell into his Chen Mingren's trick, it turned out that the teacher was restraining Liao Yaoxiang's department to buy time for his own evacuation of Siping, and he misunderstood the meaning of the teacher, Li Tianyou thought of this, and his heart was even more guilty.
And Wan Yi listened to Hong Xuezhi's words at this moment and finally understood the reason why General Lin Biao was disappointed in himself, it seemed that he and Li Tianyou only paid attention to the situation in front of him, ignoring the situation outside Siping City, and couldn't help but Wan Yi hurriedly looked at Hong Xuezhi.
"Brother, now that the army of ten divisions is pressing, how should we deal with ourselves, we only have six complete divisions in our hands!"
Hong Xuezhi listened to Wan Yi's words, his eyes were very calm, without the slightest panic, Li Tianyou and Wan Yi looked at Hong Xuezhi's unfazed eyes and knew that Hong Xuezhi was afraid that he was prepared this time, only to see Hong Xuezhi looking at the adjutant beside him.
"Go, use the radio here to contact my 6th and 15th, 16th, and 18th divisions in South Manchuria, and see where they have arrived in Siping City!"
After listening to Hong Xuezhi's words, the adjutant nodded respectfully, and then turned to leave, and Wan Yi listened to Hong Xuezhi's words, and the worries in his heart were quietly put down, seeing that Hong Xuezhi should have been arranged in advance, and after a while, the adjutant came to Hong Xuezhi's side respectfully with a piece of paper and said.
"General, the 15th Division has been evacuated to the Weiyuanbao area on the outskirts of Siping according to the original plan, and the 16th Division has also been evacuated to Lianhua Street on the outskirts of Siping, and the 18th Division has been evacuated to Mink Pitun on the outskirts of Siping!" After listening to the adjutant's words, Hong Xuezhi looked at the positions of the three divisions that had been marked outside Siping City, and his eyes flashed brightly, and he looked at Li Tianyoudao.
"God bless, you telegraphed the 1st and 2nd Divisions of the West Manchurian Column to evacuate today in view of their heavy losses, and telegraphed the 17th Division of the 6th Column of South Manchuria and the 3rd Division of the 1st Column of North Manchuria to attack the Catholic Church from the periphery of the Catholic Church, and telegraphed the 1st and 2nd Divisions of the 1st Column of the North Manchurian Column, which had been recuperated, to take over from the 1st and 2nd Divisions of the 1st Column of the West Manchurian Column, and to attack the Catholic Church in response to the 17th Division of the 6th Column of South Manchuria and the 3rd Division of the 1st Column of North Manchuria. The remnants of Chen Mingren in the area of the petrochemical plant launched an attack, letting Chen Mingren know that we are going to win Siping! ”
After Hong Xuezhi finished speaking, Wan Yi was full of doubts, and Li Tianyou's eyes were already shining at the moment, he already knew the purpose of the three divisions brought by the teacher to ambush in the suburbs of Siping, this is to be ashamed, so he looked at Hong Xuezhi and said.
"Teacher, your trick is high, encircle the point to send reinforcements, Chen Mingren is already like a frightened bird at the moment, our four divisions encircle and suppress his remnants, he must mistakenly think that we are going to take Siping in one fell swoop, and the reinforcements of the ten divisions will definitely make the vanguard march in a hurry, and we will be able to surround the point and send reinforcements!"
After Li Tianyou finished speaking, Wan Yi suddenly realized, it turned out that Hong Xuezhi was to encircle the point to send reinforcements, Hong Xuezhi listened to Li Tianyou's words, smiled slightly, looked at the military deployment map with a solemn gaze flashing at Li Tianyou.
"It's good to encircle the point to send reinforcements, but it is also to allow the Northeast soldiers in Siping City to evacuate safely, you must not be persistent at that time, once the exchange of fire begins outside Siping City, telegraph to the North Manchurian First Vertical Division and the Second Division, and the South Manchurian Sixth Vertical Seventeenth Division and the North Manchurian One Vertical Third Division quickly evacuate Siping! God bless, don't let me down this time, I should also return to the Zhengjiatun headquarters in Sanjiangkou to attract Liao Yaoxiang's attention, don't let my purpose be for you to evacuate safely! ”
"Teacher, don't worry, this time I, Li Tianyou, promise to complete the task!" Li Tianyou solemnly gave a military salute to Hong Xuezhi and said, Hong Xuezhi nodded with satisfaction after listening, and after saying goodbye to Wan Yi, he left Changtu with the adjutant.
At this moment, two middle-aged men in light green military uniforms at the head of the bridge on Kant Huomo Street are holding binoculars to look at the situation of Kant Huomo Street, and now this Kant Huomo Street is full of corpses, and the Northeast Field Army that attacked Kant Huomo Street is basically broken through Kant Huomo Street, and there is still a distance of 100 meters from Kant Huomo Street, at this moment, a young adjutant respectfully came to the two of them.
"Two chiefs, the Changtu command headquarters called, ordering the first and second divisions of the Ximan Column to evacuate from Kant Huomo Street due to heavy casualties!"
The two middle-aged people led by Changtu heard the latest call, their eyes flashed with bitterness and complexity, and now they are about to break through, only to send a telegram of our army's evacuation, the mighty middle-aged man looked at the street full of corpses, his eyes flashed with a firm gaze, and called back to the Changtu headquarters.
"For the soldiers who sacrificed for me, even if I am the division commander, I can't steal my life, call back my Ximan First Division will definitely break through Kant Huomo Street, break through the Catholic Church, and never die!" The mighty middle-aged man said me, and the middle-aged man beside him also looked at the adjutant behind him with a sacrosanct gaze flashing with a sacrosanct gaze.
"Telegraph to the headquarters, I, the Second Division of Ximan, must also hold our positions and never die!"
In the Changtu command room, Wan Yi took the message just sent from the front line of Kant Huomo Street, his eyes flashed with deep sadness, and the corners of his mouth showed a bitter expression, and he came to Li Tianyou's side and looked at Li Tianyou.
"God forbid, the 1st and 2nd Divisions of Ximan have decided not to withdraw from Kant Huomo Street, they have decided to break through the Catholic Church even if there is only one soldier left!" After listening to Wan Yi's words, Li Tianyou also sighed, he had expected them to be like this, after all, they had attacked for a day and two nights, and I am afraid that many brothers have been killed and injured now, which is the greatest pain for a division commander, so he looked at Wan Yi and said with a guilty expression.
"It seems that I hurt them this time, and I telegraphed the 1st and 2nd Divisions of the 1st Column of the North Manchurian Column to speed up the march and rush to the aid of the 1st and 2nd Divisions of the West Manchurian Column!" After listening to Li Tianyou's words, Wan Yi shook his head helplessly and went to order the adjutant to send electricity!
On the evening of the same day, the first division and the second division of the West Manchurian column finally broke through the Kant Huomo Street, and the two division commanders led by them also rushed to the Catholic church, in the rain of bullets, the commander of the first division of the West Manchurian division Ma Renxing unfortunately died, and the first division and the second division of the North Manchurian column also successfully converged with the first division and the second division of the West Manchurian column, so the national army in the Catholic church fell into an embattled situation, on the 25th, the first column and three divisions captured the Catholic Church, an important stronghold of the Kuomintang army, and then the six divisions successfully joined the division, and the soldiers pressed to the remnants of Chen Mingren.
The remnants of the Kuomintang army Chen Mingren were also compressed in the area of Xiaodong Middle School and the petrochemical plant, but Chen Mingren still did not give up and continued to resist, so far more than half of the eastern urban area of Sipingcheng Road was occupied by the Democratic Alliance Army, and at this moment, Liao Yaoxiang, the headquarters of the National Army in the mountainous area of Zhongchang Road, also received a telegram from Chen Mingren from Siping City, his eyes were full of bright eyes, and he looked at the adjutant beside him.
"It seems that the Northeast Field Army in Siping City is pressed by the army, and there are actually six divisions to encircle and suppress the remnants of Chen Mingren, it seems that the three divisions he escaped from the south must have joined the battle of attacking Siping, well, this time let me annihilate your Northeast Field Army, and telegraphed the 14th Division of the New 6th Army to break through Siping City from Lianhua Street, encircle and annihilate the Northeast Field Army in Siping City, the new 22nd Division and the 169th Division first went to Minkpitun and Weiyuanbao area to raid Siping, and the remaining seven divisions of the Sixth Army quickly surrounded Siping from all sides after the vanguard marched, Encircle and suppress the Northeast Field Army in Siping City! ”
Therefore, under Liao Yaoxiang's general order, the three divisions of the newly formed Sixth Army of the National Revolutionary Army accelerated the pace of marching, and in accordance with Liao Yaoxiang's deployment, they launched an attack on Siping from the three directions of Lianhua Street, Mink Pitun, and Weiyuanbao.
The 15th, 16th, and 18th Divisions of the Southern Column also quietly laid ambushes in the Lianhuajie, Minkpitun, and Weiyuanbao areas in accordance with Hong Xuezhi's general order, and also took the 14th, 22nd, and 169th Divisions of the New Sixth Army by surprise, and on the 29th, the 16th Division of the 6th Column and the 16th Division of the South Manchurian Army annihilated 1 regiment of the 14th Division of the New 6th Army at Lianhua Street, while the 15th and 18th Divisions of the 6th Column and the 18th Division of the South Manchurian Army defeated the New 22nd Division and the 169th Division in the Diaopitun and Weiyuanbao areas.
