[220] A soldier who surrenders without a fight

This night was torturous for Li Yunan, commander of the 92nd Division, and from his heart, he hoped that Taiwan's supply ship would arrive immediately to relieve his urgent need, but he was also afraid that if the supply ship came suddenly, his previous unsteadfastness would become a laughing stock and even lead to death. This night, Li Yunan tossed and turned, and stayed awake all night. By the next morning, when the first rays of dawn shone through the windows of the 92nd Division headquarters, he still did not receive news of the arrival of the supply fleet.

As if relieved, Li Yunan stood up abruptly and walked out of the command headquarters.

Li Yunan's 92nd Division was adapted from the remnants of the original Kuomintang reorganized 69th Division, and in the 46th Battle of Chaoyangji, Huaibei, Anhui Province, the 69th Division was annihilated by Commander Chen Yi. Lao Jiang stuffed the remnants of the 92nd Division into the captured strong men and reorganized them into the 92nd Division. Lao Jiang also knew that the combat effectiveness of the army cobbled together in this way was ridiculous, so the 92nd Division was never sent to fight since then and has been stationed in Guangdong. Until the old Chiang Yangtze River defense line collapsed, defeated and fled, the 92nd Division was retreated to Matsu Island, a small place as a garrison.

The strong men who were arrested to join the army know what is easy to fight and difficult to fight, and they only know how to eat food as soldiers, but the remnants of the original 69th Division in the 92nd Division are very clear in their hearts, just with this small Matsu Island, just with this group of strong men who have never fought before, they are afraid that if the supply army lands, the rabble of the 92nd Division will be crushed by the supply army as soon as they see each other.

Previously, in order to prevent the landing of the supply army, the fortifications on the beachhead and the dark forts on the mountains were repaired by the 92nd Division. But the bombing of the past few days has completely made these veterans completely dead. The bombers supplied to the army were terrifyingly powerful, and instead of one bomb or two, one plane threw more than a dozen bombs in a string, covering an area the size of a football field. From dawn onwards, the bombers supplying the army continued to come to harass them, and one of them came in half an hour, and they ran away after throwing them, except for the bombs, which were incendiary bombs, and the hills on Matsu Island were burned bald. Fortifications and bunkers were destroyed one by one.

After Li Yunan walked out of the command headquarters, he found the deputy division commander Zhang Zhangquan, and the deputy division commander Zhang Zhangquan expressed his determination to surrender to the city, and after the two had made up their minds, they sent a herald ship of the 92nd Division, carrying Li Yunan and Zhang Zhangquan's cronies and handwritten letters, from the southwest of the island, and went straight to Fuzhou with a white flag.

The defenders of Kinmen Island have also suffered a lot these days, and they have not pulled down the treatment of the Matsu defenders, but the intensity of the bombing has been even worse, and several clear Mingbao fortifications have been turned over three times by the bombs, and even the bricks buried in the ground have been dug out.

The commander of the Kinmen garrison was originally Hu Lian, but after Hu Lian was wiped out with his 67th Army in the Battle of Zhoushan and was captured, the commander of the Kinmen garrison was replaced by Xue Yue, who retreated from Hainan Island, in addition to the original Fifth Army and the 18th Army, Xue Yue brought Liu Yuzhang and his 52nd Army, who had the reputation of "Lucky General".

Liu Yuzhang has always been famous in the retreat with his wonderful 52nd Army, and in the War of Liberation, he once led the 52nd Army twice to run away from the Liaoshen Campaign and the Shanghai Campaign, which shows the strength of this "combat effectiveness". It stands to reason that such a strange situation, which is completely outside the command of the battlefield, regardless of friendly forces and campaign objectives, will be hanged or court-martialed for any country. If such a commander were to be in the People's Liberation Army, it is estimated that he would have been removed from his post and brought to justice. Fortunately, people have goods in their stomachs, and they can spit lotus flowers in their mouths. When he fled the mainland, he let out a bold statement: "This is another Dunkirk." As soon as these words came out, it was the time to use the troops, and Lao Jiang, an even more bizarre character, would not hold the long-legged bully Liu Yuzhang responsible, and he continued to sit firmly in the position of commander of the 52nd Army. God knew that Xue Yue Weishenme was going to send the 52nd Army from the four armies under his command to go to Kinmen with him.

Xue Yue wore his shiny leather boots and paced anxiously in the Kinmen command headquarters, and said: "Kinmen cannot be defended, so we should withdraw quickly, but at present, even the naval base camp has been dug up by the supply army, and the fleet has been blown up by the supply army. If we continue to wait like this, my 80,000 soldiers will have to die to repay the president. ”

Liu Yuzhang, commander of the 52nd Army, who was holding a meeting at the headquarters, hurriedly said: "What the military seat said is serious, General Sun Liren, commander-in-chief of Taiwan's defense, recently said in a telegram that General Chen Cheng has contacted the Americans at present, and perhaps the US warships will come back to send us supplies soon." ”

Gao Jiren, the commander of the Fifth Army, listened coldly on the side, and at this time let out a cold snort and said sharply: "I'm afraid that the Americans don't want to wade into this troubled water!" ”

Gao Kuiyuan, the commander of the 18th Army, said when he heard this: "For today's plan, it is better to quickly collect the leaflets in the hands of the soldiers, these days the bombers for the army in addition to throwing bombs, the stomach also throws leaflets in bundles, a bundle of leaflets thrown down, falling all over the island with pieces of paper, although the soldiers do not know how to read, but it is difficult to ensure that people with ulterior motives pick it up and secretly publicize it." ”

Xue Yue nodded annoyantly and said: "Kui Yuan, this matter will be handed over to you, and anyone who has a private possession of leaflets for the army will be dealt with according to the general opinion." After finishing speaking, Xue Yue added another sentence: "I, Xue Yue, will never betray the party-state." This seemed to be cheering him up, and he had no confidence in what he said.

Gao Jiren, the commander of the Fifth Army, said: "You Xue Yue fled from the north to the south, and then fled from the south to Hainan Island, and then fled from Hainan Island to Kinmen Island. Hu Lian is a bit capable, but he was not eaten by the People's Liberation Army in Zhoushan, and the whole army was wiped out. Just rely on you Xue Yue and the 52nd Army you brought, alas, I should think of another way to retreat as soon as possible. ”

Just as the four of them were making their own calculations, a staff officer outside the door held a telegram high and stumbled into the command headquarters and said, "Commander! Big things are not good! Li Yunan confessed! ”

When the four of them heard this, they were all discolored.

Xue Yue was pacing at the time, and when he heard the words, he almost fell into a slump. After standing firmly, he crossed his waist and scolded bitterly: "This traitor! This traitor! This traitor! The scolding was smaller than the other, and it was obvious that there was a bit of jealousy in it.

The other three commanders came back to their senses, all jealous and hateful. What is jealous is that Li Yunan, the commander of the 92nd Division, has escaped the sea of bitterness this time, and what he hates is that he still has to take a group of brothers to accompany Xue Yue on Kinmen Island.

After Xue Yue stood still, his heart was like numbness, and his chest was bitter. Originally, he thought that after the first battle of Kinmen Guning, the morale of the Kinmen defenders was greatly boosted and they could defend it, and there was also Li Yunan's 92nd Division on Matsu Island to contain the Fuzhou troops. However, since the news of the death of the navy in the first battle, the whole situation of the war has taken a sharp turn. Without the support and blockade of the navy, he Xue Yue would not be able to play Hu Lian's strange soldier who used a landing ship to land behind the landing force of the supply army, and this Kinmen has also changed from a place of life where you can attack, retreat and escape to a place of death. hated that Li Yunan, and his face changed quickly, and when he saw that something was wrong, he ran to confess.

Gao Jiren, the commander of the Fifth Army, said suddenly: "Li Yunan is a person who knows how to advance and retreat, the last time the supply army landed in Kinmen, I am afraid that this time I will have to pick up the persimmon soft pinch, and the first to take him Matsu to open the knife, he is now unofficial and light." ”

Gao Kuiyuan, commander of the 18th Army, said: "Now it is certain that the supply army will definitely attack Kinmen next." Recently, the telegrams from the Matsu observation post were all reports of the southward movement of a large number of landing ships for the army, and Li Yunan must have been frightened to the end, and from this point of view, the landing ships for the army were really in the hundreds, as reported by the 92nd Division. ”

Liu Yuzhang, commander of the 52nd Army, affirmed: "If it weren't for the hundreds of landing ships, how could the supply army take Zhoushan in one day!" If he still followed the method of refueling the landing of small wooden boats for the army in the past, Shi Jue's army of more than 100,000 people slowly consumed Chen Yi and Su Yu to death on the beach. Hundreds of landing ships, which means that the supply army can land one army at a time! With the fierceness of the supply army, 30,000 men from the north bravely rushed ashore from several kilometers of coastline, and a breakthrough will always be found, so that the beachhead will inevitably be consolidated! The ironclad landing craft came and went freely, and a few hours later, another army came up! How can this be fought! I also read the battle report on the last victory of Gu Ningtou, and I was able to annihilate the supply army, thanks to Hu Lian's landing behind and tank impact. In addition, the landing force of the supply army was washed away by the tide and the landing site was dispersed, even so, the battle was fought for three days and three nights, and the subsequent encirclement and suppression lasted for a week. ”

Being analyzed by the "King of Retreat", the three of them couldn't help but stand on end, and Gao Kuiyuan, the commander of the Eighteenth Army, muttered: "In that case, wouldn't it be possible to land fifty or sixty thousand troops in one morning?" …… No wonder Li Yunan was so frightened that he surrendered directly, he was just a division, even if he changed to my army, he would be afraid......"

Xue Yue's brows furrowed even more, his eyebrows were squeezed up by wrinkles, and he criticized: "Don't grow the morale of others, destroy your own prestige, how much food can you bring for the army to land?" How can it be consumed? I know that the supply of the army, has always relied on impact tactics to win, five bullets of the 38 type rifle, for the army to shoot one shot for a section, after three shots began to rush with two residual bullets, this kind of firepower, to land in Kinmen, is purely a dream! My beachhead cross-fire is arranged, and there is no return for the supply army. ”

Gao Jiren, the commander of the Fifth Army, broke the jar and said negatively: "The bombers for the army have not survived for a moment these days, the beachhead has been blown to shreds, and half of the cement bunker fortifications that were just built a year ago have also been blown away, leaving only those hidden and camouflaged bunkers. The supply army is now flying over our heads every day, but I am afraid that we have long known the terrain of Kinmen. When the landing force is ashore, once the firepower of the bunker is exposed, I am afraid that the bombers supplying the army will immediately pounce. ”

These words were heart-wrenching, and Xue Yue's heart was like numbness. This meeting of the Supreme Garrison Headquarters of Kinmen could not be held.

At this time, Kinmen had begun to ration the supply of fresh water, although the reserves of grain and fresh water claimed to be able to last for three months, but God knows when the supply from Taiwan could return to normal.

Under pressure, the only way for soldiers to vent is to run to the military paradise every day.
