Chapter 217, ended in a fiasco
In the evening, the 30th Division of the New First Army launched a frontal attack on the Haifengtun, Bolinzi and Yahubao positions in the southern suburbs of Siping, and the dull roar of the plane also sounded over Shenyang, Xiao Shan listened to the roar of the plane, and came to the Mingqing Hall, and walked into the Mingqing Hall, Xiaolan greeted him and brought Xiao Shan to Hou Yuanshan's room, Xiao Shan looked at Hou Yuanshan.
"Listening to the roar of this plane, I think the Siping defense battle will officially start tonight!" Hou Yuanshan nodded solemnly after listening to Xiao Shan's words, and then looked at Xiao Shan with a solemn face.
"I have already reported your plans and things to the director and Wu Hao, and they have just called back and agreed with your idea of not revealing your identity, and the method of dealing with Ye Ming, but Siping's evacuation, the chairman did not agree, because today Lin Biao also called the chairman, the chairman was furious, let Lin Biao stick to Siping, Comrade Wu Hao has no choice, but that military defense map is irrelevant, just look at the offensive of the national army, I am afraid that there is no military defense map, we are also struggling!"
After listening to Hou Yuanshan's words, Xiao Shan shook his head helplessly, his heart was full of helplessness, he originally wanted to rely on his previous life's cognition of history to avoid a senseless sacrifice of the Northeast Field Army, it seems that it is unavoidable, it seems that sometimes, under the long river of history, it is really impossible to change, and he is also doing his best, and the rest can only be left to fate, so he looked at Hou Yuanshan Road.
"Since the central government is like this, then we can only watch, but the matter has been done, Du Yuming will not reveal it, and he is very happy to provide me with the military defense map this time, and also told me that as long as he does not leave Shenyang after the victory of this war, the outsiders of the military commander Shenyang station cannot be inserted, and Wang Puchen also fulfilled his promise, and the military commander did not arrange a new Shenyang stationmaster because he stayed in Nanjing!"
After Xiao Shan finished speaking, Hou Yuanshan's heart was completely relieved, as long as Xiao Shan was in charge of Shenyang's military command, it would be equivalent to invisibly giving the Mingqing Hall a protective umbrella, so that at least the comrades would be safe and worry-free, and then Xiao Shan patted the back of his head and looked at Hou Yuanshan.
"You look at my memory, I almost forgot what I was doing, Du Yu ordered the 195th Division and the 88th Division to Tieling, covering the safety of the middle and long roads, and ordered the New Sixth Army to quickly concentrate near Liaoyang and transport it to Kaiyuan by train, preparing to break through Siping and regain Changchun and Yongji in one fell swoop. After Xiao Shan finished speaking, Hou Yuanshan also nodded solemnly, and then looked at Xiao Shan Dao.
"Don't worry, I will report your information to the director, I have already told the director what you mean, you can rest assured, this information was told to General Lin Biao by the director alone, and Comrade Wu Hao also personally telegraphed to Lin Biao, the information obtained from the director was announced to everyone that it was detected by the special investigation team, and Ye Ming would not be suspicious of any comrades in Shenyang!" Xiao Shan was relieved when he heard Hou Yuanshan say this, and then looked at Hou Yuanshan and said.
"Is Ye Ming still staying by General Lin Biao's side now?"
"No, let him go to the front line, until the time of the layout, he will not be allowed to stay in the staff headquarters, this is what General Lin Biao meant, rest assured, the special combat team in his hand is also very powerful, you Yunxiao Elite are not weak generals, and they just make the best use of their talents, this is the inspiration I got from you!"
After Hou Yuanshan finished speaking, Xiao Shan and Hou Yuanshan looked at each other and smiled, so the room was full of joy and relaxation, and the solemn smile just now was dispersed, and the two talked in detail for a long time, Xiao Shan went out to accompany Lin Kexin.
Du Yuming's army broke through the positions of Haifengtun, Bolinzi and Yahupao, but was strongly counterattacked by the Northeast Field Army in Siping City, and did not capture Siping City for nine days, and Du Yuming was also very iron-blooded, vigorous and resolute, and was bound to take Siping, so Du Yuming concentrated 10 whole divisions of troops to the forward position in Siping.
On May 14, Zheng Dongguo and Liang Huasheng, deputy commanders of the Kuomintang Northeast Security, came to the front line to command, and deployed three corps on the left, center, and right to attack Siping, and their left corps attacked in the west and northwest of Siming, Bamiancheng and Lishu; The central part attacked in the southwestern suburbs of Siping; The right part of the road from Kaiyuan to Yehe attacked Siping.
At dawn on May 15, the Kuomintang army bombarded the southwest and east positions of the Northeast Field Army with heavy artillery fire, and used the tactics of crowds to form battalions and regiments to carry out group charges, and in front of the Badger Cave position, it actually attacked as many as 10 times the strength of two regiments throughout the day, but was repulsed by the Northeast Field Army, but Du Yu clearly vowed not to give up, and let the 50th Division of the New First Army attack the 258 Heights with 10 times the strength and occupy the position.
On May 16, the Kuomintang army attacked the 331.5 heights southeast of Siping, and after a day of fierce fighting, the Northeast Field Army fought tenaciously, repelled 7 attacks, killed and wounded more than 600 Kuomintang troops, but under the charge of the Kuomintang army tanks and artillery bombardment, the positions of the Northeast Field Army and most of the firearms were destroyed, and the positions were captured.
On 17 May, the Kuomintang army strafed and bombed with aircraft in the air, bombarded with artillery on the ground, and charged at the Tazishan position under the cover of tanks, and the soldiers of the Northeast Field Army repelled 12 enemy charges.
At dawn on 18 May, Tazishan fought fiercely again, and the Kuomintang New Sixth Army, with the cooperation of more than 10 planes, artillery, and tanks, concentrated all its artillery fire from the east, south, and west to bombard the Tazishan position again.
The battle on the front line is in full swing, the Northeast Field Army is losing and retreating, these battle reports Xiaoshan learned one by one in Du Yuming, Du Yuming looked at Xiaoshan happily, at this moment the majesty and ambition on his body were domineering, and he was full of energy to Xiaoshan.
"Xiaoshan, your contribution this time is not small, although the battle in Siping is so tragic and stalemate, but this is not your intelligence problem, but the contrast between the strength and will of the two armies, it has nothing to do with you, so don't be discouraged, make persistent efforts, I have already reported your merits to Nanjing, presumably the appointment of your promotion to the head of Shenyang Station will come soon!"
After listening to Du Yuming's words, Xiao Shan felt bitter in his heart, it seems that the losses of the Northeast Field Army must be heavy this time, but as the so-called Sai Weng lost his horse and knew whether it was a blessing or not, maybe his own blessing was not easy, he sacrificed so many soldiers, for a moment Xiao Shan thought that he was not his accomplice Du Yuming, but he still looked at Du Yuming with a smile.
"Then General Lao has helped, thank you for your kindness, don't worry, I will keep it in mind!"
Du Yuming nodded with satisfaction after listening, what he needs is an obedient military commander, not a military commander who is full of turmoil, then his rear is unstable, it is not what he wants to see, and Du Yuming's idea coincides with Xiaoshan from this specific time and place, one is happy to be idle, and the other is happy to control the rear.
Du Yuming and Xiao Shan exchanged pleasantries for a long time before leaving the Shenyang combat headquarters, and at night, they came to the Mingqing Hall and walked into Hou Yuanshan's office.
"If the Central Committee had listened to you and General Lin Biao earlier, there would have been no such thing!"
Xiao Shan looked at the content of the telegram and saw that it was written: Order all the troops defending the city to evacuate Siping!
Xiao Shan was also silent in his heart for a while, this retreat order was too untimely, the defeat was irretrievable, what was the point of retreating, after all, this Siping Defense Battle, I am afraid that the Northeast Field Army's home capital will be wiped out, at this time, Hou Yuanshan looked at Xiao Shan and said sadly.
"Xiao Shan, do you know how many people were sacrificed this time? In fact, General Lin Biao told the director that according to the reports of various troops, 26,000 people were sacrificed, and 56,000 people were seriously injured, General Lin Biao's heart was dripping blood, General Lin Biao and the director and Comrade Wu Hao have already discussed, and decided to listen to your opinions and evacuate comprehensively. ”
After listening to Hou Yuanshan's words, Xiao Shan understood that this was the best plan now, and it was indeed the strategy of the old Cheng to plan the troops, so that he could not only evacuate quickly, but also avoid the needless sacrifice caused by the national army, after all, the loss of the Northeast Field Army in the Battle of Siping was too heavy, so he looked at Hou Yuanshan Road.
"It seems that with this lesson, the central government finally figured it out, in fact, this defeat is because we have always been a guerrilla war, and have never really fought head-on with the national army, especially this kind of city defense war, the Red Army has never been, maybe it is because of the loss of the horse, after this experience of blood and fire, our soldiers are more iron-clad, our army is more condensed and united, and our courage is more indomitable and magnificent!" Hou Yuanshan listened to Xiao Shan's words and couldn't help but applaud.
"Xiao Shan, you are so strategic and knowledgeable, it's a pity not to go to the front line to command the troops to fight, to stay in the rear and deceive those spies, it really buries your military talent! I think if you go to the battlefield, you will kill all sides! ”
"Lord Hou, you really promote me, I know my own ability, in fact, I think I am more suitable for this behind the enemy, after all, after returning from Germany, I have been lurking in Nanjing, Shanghai, and after the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, I have been working in the military command, at most I have some strength, but it is only a special operation, and I am comfortable with the army's reconnaissance, assassination, and sneak attack work, but commanding the battle, that is not my strength!"
Xiao Shan said humbly, Hou Yuanshan admired Xiao Shan's attitude very much in his heart, he was not arrogant or impatient, and he could also have a deep understanding of himself.
"The director asked me to tell you, don't be discouraged by our momentary failure, we must firmly believe in our party, it is like a vast ocean, there is a process of self-purification, one day, will let the sunshine of peace illuminate the land of China, dispel the haze of war, let you must calm down, a good silence, or it won't be long before an important task will be handed over to you!"
Xiao Shan nodded after hearing this, his eyes flashed with a golden gaze, and he looked at Hou Yuanshan, as if vaguely recalling the sunny smile of his eldest brother, looked at Hou Yuanshan, and said slowly.
"Well, I will not be discouraged, at the moment when the eldest brother inherits the faith, I firmly believe that our faith will one day bloom everywhere, and the dawn will come one day, and we are now the one who guides the dawn to come, and guides the dawn to come to this long-suffering land, and the people who regain peace and prosperity, I will stick to it, and unswervingly complete this road, so that the dawn will reappear in the world!"
Hou Yuanshan listened to Xiao Shan's words, and nodded solemnly, this is a qualified Chinese Communist, this is a qualified comrade, at this moment Hou Yuanshan is also proud to have such a comrade-in-arms and comrade with faith.
Everything is as Hou Yuanshan told Xiaoshan, on May 18, under the afterglow of the sunset, Lin Biao deeply forgot to take a look at this red-dyed Siping City, and secretly swore in his heart, Du Yuming, one day I will return everything today to you, we will wait and see, and then took the train to Changchun, with his subordinates, and left Siping, which had been bloody for two months.
Du Yuming's army also marched to Siping on May 19, and then the New Sixth Army attacked Changchun as planned, and on May 23, the Kuomintang army occupied Changchun, and on May 31, occupied the line from Yongji to Nong'an, south of the Songhua River
On the other hand, the 195th Division and the 88th Division successively occupied all of western Liaoning and key cities such as Tieling, Fushun, Benxi, Liaoyang, Anshan, Haicheng, and Yingkou on the periphery of Shenyang.
And Chiang Kai-shek, who was far away in Nanjing, got Du Yuming's good news, and he was also very happy in his heart, and personally ordered Du Yuming to commend Du Yuming, and told Du Yuming that you are worthy of being my proud protégé, make persistent efforts, I am waiting for you in Nanjing to recover the good news of the whole Northeast, and Du Yuming also made a military order to President Jiang, one day not to recover the whole Northeast, one day not to return home vows, and President Jiang also personally praised Du Yuming's ambition and style to the Kuomintang generals, and also said that there will be so, The rhetoric of the three armies is what to ask for.
