A Kuomintang C-47 plane painted with the symbol of the blue sky and white sun flew over the Huanghuai area for an ultra-low-altitude flight. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Chen Mosong, who was sitting in the cabin, took the telescope and looked at the ground through the porthole, so excited that the muscles on his cheeks couldn't stop beating, and he said to Jiang Anbang, who was sitting opposite, while watching: "In this battle, although our side lost the 69th Army, it drove all the communist troops out of the Jianghuai area, it should be said that this is a huge strategic victory!" Brother, I don't dare to say it to others, but I don't have to hide it from you. Before the battle began, I estimated that it would be a blessing to be able to take the two county towns of the Communist Party. Unexpectedly, all the nests of the communist army were served at once, haha! Of course, the communist army is not willing to lose, the problem is that now that their territory is small, there is little room for maneuver. On the contrary, there is a greater chance that they will fail. Brother, do you think so? ”

Jiang Anbang's face was gloomy, he kept his head down and was silent, and when he saw the chief asking, he raised his head and smiled bitterly, "Chief Chen, I thought that the Jianghuai war would drag on for a long time, but I didn't expect the Communist Party to defeat Huanghuai so quickly. I now think that what I said before the war would be taken as pessimism and surrender by people who like to pull braids, and I really regret it! ”

After a pause, Jiang Anbang raised his head again and said stubbornly: "Although I may be said by others to be a communist, I still have to say what is in my heart." I still think that the physical elimination of the Communist Party has not been successful. To deal with the Communist Party, it is still necessary to attack the heart first, and blindly killing people can only be counterproductive. ”

Chen Mosong put down the binoculars, waved his hand at him with a smile and said, "Brother don't have to be careful, no one dared to brag about himself at that time." These days, I'm also thinking hard about my brother's advice. In the past, we always wanted to exterminate the Communist Party, whether we had guns or not, we didn't leave anything behind. But the harsh reality shows that this approach has failed. For the sake of the long-term peace and stability of the party-state, after our victory in the next battle against the communist forces fleeing north, I will personally meet with the president and implore him to change his course and appropriately retain some communists who do not carry guns, so that they can play tricks. ”

A smile appeared on Jiang Anbang's face and nodded, "That's good, that's good." ”

"Brother, the old man sent a telegram yesterday to inform me that, in view of the northward movement of the fighting, it was agreed that the Jiangbei camp office would move north to Jinyan City from today. Chief of Staff Wen took the lead in sending a group to Jinyan this morning, and we will soon be going there as well. ”

"Oh?" Jiang Anbang's eyes blinked.

It turned out that soon after the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, Lao Chiang ordered the establishment of the Jiangbei camp to command his troops to prepare to eliminate the communist forces in Jianghuai and Huanghuai. However, Chen Mosong considered that the Jianghuai communist army posed a great threat to Nanjing, so he decided that the primary goal of the camp should be to occupy the Jianghuai as soon as possible. Therefore, the camp was set up in a county town on the north bank of the Yangtze River, and at the same time, a command post for the north line of the Jiangbei camp was set up in Jinyan City, with Zhang Ke, deputy director of the camp, concurrently serving as the director of the command post. Now that the main force of the Jianghuai Communist Army has been driven out and the Jianghuai Communist Region has been "recovered," Chen Mosong naturally feels that it is necessary to move the camp organs northward.

After the People's Liberation Army crossed the Longhai Railway and entered the Huanghuai area, although the sun was still nowhere to be seen, the dark clouds in the sky began to slowly turn white, the northwest wind no longer howled so violently, and the noise began to slowly decrease.

Chang Ge and Luo Zhiping, who were wearing gray cotton coats, rode horses and followed the troops, when a young cadre ran from the front of Pegasus, and when he arrived, he reined in his horse's head and reported: "Chief, the Huanghuai troops have sent someone to contact them." He raised his hand and pointed, only to see a small group of PLA troops wearing gray cotton uniforms rushing from the front, and when they arrived, they stopped their horses, led by a big man in his thirties, he was dark-skinned, and hung a pistol on the belt around his waist, he owed to Chang Ge and Luo Zhiping, "Are you political commissar Luo and Chang Shichang?" ”

"I'm Luo Zhiping," "I'm Chang Ge." ”

"I am He Dayin, commander of the Luhe Military Division of the Huanghuai People's Liberation Army, and I am here to greet the two leaders on the order of Commander Shi of the Huanghuai People's Liberation Army." He Dayin saluted a military salute, and Luo Zhiping and Chang Ge immediately returned the salute. Then He Dayin took out an envelope from his pocket and handed it to Luo Zhiping, "This is a letter from Commander Gu to the two of you." ”

Luo Zhiping took out a folded piece of letter paper from the unsealed cover, opened the letter, waved his hand to Chang Ge, Chang Ge leaned over, and saw that the letter read: "Comrade Luo Chang: I have gone to Longtou Town, Luhe County, to meet with Comrade Ishikawa to discuss the issue of joint operations between the two armies. The time is urgent, and there is no time to report. According to Comrade He of the Luhe Military Subdistrict, the Huanghuai side has assigned the Luhe Military Subdistrict to be responsible for receiving the Jianghuai First Division. The 1st Division can camp in Luhe County and wait for new tasks. Gu Yu. ”

Luo Zhiping handed the letter to Ren Qi, a young cadre behind him, and then stretched out his hand to He Dayin, and said with a smile: "Commander He, I'm going to trouble you now." ”

"Hey, the family doesn't talk to each other." He Dayin happily shook Luo Zhiping's hand, and then held Chang Ge's outstretched hand. Then he turned the horse's head and walked parallel to Luo Zhiping. He Dayin said as he walked: "Commander Shi instructed us that from now on, the Luhe Army Division will be under the command of the First Division. When he heard that your losses were not small, he specially told us that we should mobilize a number of local armed forces and basic militia to replenish the First Division. You are old troops, and it is a blessing for us to be able to fight side by side with you. ”

"Where, where," Luo Zhiping smiled lightly, "everyone is learning from each other and making progress together." ”

"The political commissar is right," He Dayin happily stretched out his hand and pointed forward, "In front of us are the camps of the First Division, Xinghua Village, Wangxi Village, Lijiatai, and Chenjiazhuang. ”

Chang Ge's heart was hot, and his face glowed red happily, and he said jokingly: "This is really, by asking where the cooking smoke is, the commander pointed to Xinghua Village!"

In Longtou Town, Gu Yu, who is thin and lean, with a round face and sunken eyes, and Ishikawa, who is tall and burly, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, meets.

"Report to the old chief, Gu Yu came to report." Gu Yu, who was wearing a gray cotton military uniform, saw Ishikawa in a dark gray cotton military uniform standing at the gate of the courtyard to greet him, and he hurriedly stood up and saluted.

Ishikawa hurriedly returned the salute, stepped forward and hugged Gu Yu, with a little blame in his excited expression, "You, why do you still come with me." You are now the commander of the theater of operations, and you are on an equal footing with me, and I can't stand it if you do this! ”

"Old chief, you're going to see the outside world when you say this!" Gu Yu's attitude was very sincere, "Since the Nanchang Uprising, I have worked under you. In a blink of an eye, twenty years have passed! In public and private, you are my old chief, big brother. Now, that relationship doesn't change because of my job change. ”

Ishikawa nodded gratefully, stretched out his hand to make a gesture of invitation, and the two of them entered the courtyard together with their attaché. The house was tall and spacious, all the houses and walls were made of red brick, the roof, the walls and the gatehouse were covered with green tiles, and the two ends of the ridge and the four corners of the eaves were all warped to form a graceful arc.
