Chapter 38: A Strange War (Supplemental Edition)
On the battlefield of Renhewei, the smoke of gunpowder was filled with fire. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Thousands of PLA soldiers in gray uniforms began to charge, cheering with weapons in hand, running, crossing ridges, crossing deer barricades, and crossing trenches, like the rising tide of sea rushing towards Chiang's positions from all directions.
The officers and soldiers of Jiang Huang, who were at a loss, ran in all directions like the water of a broken embankment, holding their heads and running away, and several officers brandished pistols to stop the rout, but where could they stop them? In the end, they were also scattered by the tide of rout, and they themselves were involuntarily carried back by the rout, and the position was full of abandoned artillery, guns, cars, and undriven military horses running around, from time to time rushing down some panicked routs. Some of the artillerymen tried to load the mortars with shells, but before they could put the shells into the muzzles, they saw several frightened horses galloping over, and even the men and the guns were knocked down by the horses.
A row of shells came and exploded, and a flag of Chiang's army was blown to the ground by the blast airwaves, and the vertical strip on the flag near the flagpole on a white background neatly reads "The 69th Army of the Army......
Still in that farmhouse, the young female announcer took the script and said into the microphone with a flushed face: "Jianghuai People's Radio, now broadcasting important news, my heroic Jianghuai People's Liberation Army and its brother unit Huanghuai People's Liberation Army fully cooperated, victoriously carried out the Renhewei Campaign, annihilated more than 21,000 people of the Kuomintang 69th Army in one fell swoop, killed the enemy's lieutenant general Deng Yinqi, and created an example of our army annihilating the enemy in one battle since the outbreak of the war of self-defense. This campaign marked a new level in the tactical and technical level of our army! ”
After listening to the broadcast of the Communist Party radio, Chen Mosong, who was sitting on the chair of the Taishi, turned off the radio, and looked back at Wen Da, He Jin, and Sun Yunyun who were standing in front of him, with a melancholy expression and a very sad tone, "The 11th Army and the 69th Army are the closest and are horns to each other. If Commander Zhong had worked hard to rescue, the tragedy of the 69th Army should have been avoidable, right? You say, "Isn't it?" ”
Chen Mosong is right, Jiang Jun's nest fighting problem has always been a fatal wound that plagued Jiang Jun. Although Lao Jiang has also said many times that he wants to be sincere and united, it can be said that this has no effect on stopping the bad habit of fighting in the nest. This strange war of the Kuomintang soldiers baffled many of this foreigner.
Although Chen Mosong was telling the truth, the three people in front of him were still taken aback when they heard this, and they all looked at each other, and they all felt that this topic was very sensitive. It was troublesome to say good or bad to the commander, so he didn't say anything.
At this moment, Chen Mosong's tone became very calm again: "**** is fighting a strange war with us, on the one hand, they lost Linhe and Yicheng on the Western Front, on the other hand, they ate our 69th Army on the Eastern Front at the same time, what do you think of this strange war or these two things?" ”
He Jin and Sun Yunyun bit their lips and didn't dare to speak.
Wenda thought for a while and said slowly: "As far as I know, when **** used to disperse and fight guerrillas, the city was a burden to them. So, they don't feel nostalgic for the loss of the city at all. But now, judging from the **** operations, **** has begun to concentrate its forces to fight a big battle. For any army to fight a big battle, cities are needed as indispensable logistical support bases. Judging from the **** Shouchuzhou and the two Shoulin River, they are reluctant to give up the city unless they have to. At present, **** still has two county towns in Jianghuai, and if these two counties are also taken down, **** will lose an important logistics base, and in the end it will only have to retreat or disperse to fight guerrillas. ”
Chen Mosong blinked and did not speak immediately.
Sun Yunyun glanced at Wen Da and couldn't help but say: "If the **** is scattered to fight guerrillas, won't that make the national government unrestful?" ”
Wenda smiled and shook his head confidently, "I really hope that **** will disperse to fight guerrilla attacks now, you must know that today's China is no longer the China before the Lugou Bridge Incident." ”
Sun Yunyun was stunned for a moment and asked puzzledly, "Why?" ”
Wenda smiled slightly, but did not answer directly.
Chen Mosong understood, nodded silently, and showed a smile.
He Jin, who had been silent, spoke, "In the past, **** didn't eat a battle example of my formed army, but now they can do it, which shows that ****'s combat capability has indeed made a great leap forward, and it is better to be cautious in fighting **** in the future." ”
Chen Mosong nodded and did not speak.
In a small village on the northwest edge of the Lin River, Chang Ge and Luo Zhiping were sitting on the grass at the entrance of the village, looking at each other speechlessly. They had already learned that the main forces had won a great victory on the Western Front, but they did not have special joy as the heads of the Eastern Front. This was because the diversionary tasks they carried out on the Eastern Front in order to cooperate with the Western Front did not achieve a satisfactory ending, resulting in the occupation of the Lin River and the neighboring Yicheng by Chiang's army. As a result, the PLA's area of activity has been greatly reduced, and this will undoubtedly have a negative impact on future combat operations. In other words, while the PLA has achieved victory, it has also encountered severe tests.
At this moment, the originally calm water surface of the pond next to it set off a ripple, and the bare branches of the big willow tree by the pond also swayed, and the wind rose.
Looking at the swaying branches, Luo Zhiping fell into deep thought.
In April this year, Luo Zhiping and Gu Yu left the Jianghuai Liberated Area on a US military plane and flew to Yan'an, the seat of the CPC Central Committee at that time, to report to the CPC Central Committee on their work and ask for instructions on their tasks. (Author's note: Before 1947, the United States played a very peculiar and complex role in China.) On the one hand, they supported the Kuomintang ****** and provided arms for ****** to fight the civil war, directly transporting troops to the front lines of the civil war. On the other hand, the United States hopes for the peaceful evolution of the Chinese Communist Party. Therefore, after the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, the U.S. government put on a neutral and impartial face and acted as a mediator between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party in the civil war. Because it is a mediator, the United States will also meet some of the demands of the Communist Party, such as sending military planes to transport Communist cadres between Yan'an and Chongqing, Nanjing, and Beiping, or between the liberated areas. )
In Yan'an, ******, chairman of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, told them that the intelligence obtained from all sides from the inside line showed that the Kuomintang ****** clique had no interest in engaging in peace and democracy with the Communist Party at all, and that they were ready to rely on their military superiority to launch a full-scale civil war. Since the Communist Party and the Kuomintang were inferior in terms of military strength, some people inside and outside the party were worried about whether they could defeat the ******. Do you think the Communists will be able to defeat the Kuomintang militarily?
After Gu Yu returned to the cave where he was staying, he thought all night, sat down at the kang table under the oil lamp, and wrote a written report, ready to send to the chairman. (To be continued.) )
