There were more than 100 vendors setting up stalls on the street outside the military headquarters of the 74th Army, and although the Kuomintang and the Communist Party were fighting fiercely nearby, this obviously did not prevent them from making money. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info The 74th Army calls itself a **** elite in the Kuomintang, and its military discipline is better than that of miscellaneous soldiers, and everything is paid according to the price, and the traders are naturally willing to do business with them.

The goods of the traders are mainly eaten, such as eggs, Songhua eggs, salted green skin (i.e., salted duck eggs), fried peanuts, fried broad beans, persimmon cakes, peanut candy, rock sugar balls (i.e., rock sugar gourds), three knives, twist flowers, steamed dumplings, roast dog meat, braised beef, roast chicken, etc., in addition to cooked food, there are fresh foods such as rice, noodles, vegetables, chicken, fish, meat and eggs. The black and thin underground traffic officer Lao Hu also pretended to sell roasted sweet potatoes, and at this time, he pretended to count the money after seeing Xu Li, Liu Yan, Chen Shuxiang and several other **** female customers leave. Suddenly, when he opened a folded banknote, he found a small note inside, and he was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously glanced around......

More than two hours later, this note appeared in Luo Zhengping's hand, Luo Zhengping was just over forty, with an upper-average stature, high cheekbones, and thick lips. At this time, he sat in front of the window of an adobe house near the Linhe River, opened the note, and wrote with a pen, "An hour ago, Tang Jinshan summoned the commander of the special service battalion and the commander of the 153rd regiment separately, and the content of the conversation was ominous. Subsequently, the special service battalion and the 153rd regiment were dispatched one after another, and their whereabouts are unknown. Nandina. ”

After reading the information, Luo Zhengping stood up from the circle chair in surprise, his brows were tightly locked, his face was gloomy, and his mouth was wide open, but he didn't make a sound. At this time, from time to time, there were piercing and continuous explosions outside the window, boom, boom.

Zhang Lijiang's spy battalion struggled through the water of Wunitang. The special service battalion is known as the elite of the elite, and the equipment is completely Americanized. The officers and men wore dark green American M1 steel helmets and yellow American crank jackets. The weapons are equipped with light rapid-fire types according to the characteristics of the special service battalion to carry out raid missions, such as the M1A1 Tom submachine gun, the Browning light machine gun, the Bazooka, the M2A1 flamethrower, etc. Because they were diving into the hinterland of ****, the officers and soldiers waded through the water while carefully looking at the dry and white reeds in front of them. The soldiers with submachine guns were all holding their guns flat and their fingers hooked on the trigger, always in a ready-to-shoot position. Although the temperature has risen, the weather is still cold in the middle of winter. The soldiers were shivering from the cold, their lips were white, and they were all angry.

A thin soldier glanced around, and the reed leaves had mostly fallen off, and the original plump spindle-like pale yellow reeds at the top had been thinned and withered by repeated cold winds, and the whole reed was now almost a bare slender pole. Despite this, the patches of reeds were still densely packed, and nothing could be seen inside. The yellow, turbid water overflows the chest and gives off an unpleasant smell. From time to time, a waterfowl or two skimmed overhead, chirping. At the moment, it is surprisingly peaceful.

"Mom!" The soldier stuck out his tongue, "If the Communists set up an ambush in this reed, we will all be used as live targets!" ”

"Bastard!" Zhang Lijiang, who was behind him, picked up a Tom-style submachine gun and stabbed him in the back fiercely, and whispered: "Don't fart!" Listen to Erniuzi, if you fart again, Lao Tzu will collapse you! Then he turned back and whispered to the soldiers behind him, "No one is allowed to speak, hurry up!" ”

The headquarters of the Jianghuai First Division was located in a ruined temple on the southern outskirts of the city, and artillery shells and bombs exploded from time to time in the vicinity, making a piercing sound and billowing black smoke rising.

In the west wing of the backyard, two cadres were looking at a map on the wall.

"Division commander, after ten o'clock this morning, the enemy stopped attacking and switched to artillery. This is very similar to the enemy's last defeat, which could not be attacked, so he switched to artillery. I was so tired that I didn't even shoot the cannons. The big-mouthed staff officer Wei Yi, who was about thirty years old, was very happy on his face, and his cheeks jumped and jumped, "Division commander, when the enemy stops shelling, I think we can report to the chief, and the second battle to defend the Linhe River will be won." ”

Chang Ge, who was nearly forty years old, did not express his position immediately, and he began to walk around the house. The hard fighting for days made him look a little slender and long, his full face was also thin, his two thick black eyebrows were particularly conspicuous, and his big bloodshot eyes appeared larger.

"Di Lingling", the phone on the table rang, Wei Yi picked up the phone, "Hey, I'm Wei Yi, you are ...... Commander Valley! He hurriedly covered the microphone and whispered, "Division commander, Commander Gu is calling you from the Western Front." ”

Chang Ge immediately took the phone and said in a Sichuan accent: "Commander Gu, I'm Chang Ge." ”

At the other end of the telephone line, at the Western Front Headquarters, Gu Yu, who was about forty years old and thin and strong, said in a Hunan accent: "Master Chang, I'm Gu Yu, how are you there?" ”

Chang Ge replied: "Commander, Tang Jinshan's turtle son has temporarily stopped attacking, and now he is only firing artillery. ”

Gu Yu had a smile on his face, "The First Division has worked hard, let me tell you that our side has completed the battle, and the next step is to have a good show." Master Chang, are you under a lot of pressure now? If the pressure is high, you should withdraw your troops and recuperate. ”

Chang Ge replied: "Thanks to the commander's care, the morale of the soldiers is very high, and the pressure can be withstanded." ”

Chang Ge put down the phone, walked back and forth a few steps, and then said with a smile: "I don't think Tang Jinshan has any more mantras to recite, and when the enemy stops shelling, he can announce: The second battle to defend the forest river has been won!" ”

Wei Yi turned around to leave, and a cadre came in outside, and he hurriedly stood up and saluted, "Political Commissar Luo,"

As soon as Luo Zhengping came in, he raised the note in his hand and said in a Hunan accent: "Lao Chang, the information sent by Nan Tianzhu." ”

"What?" Chang Ge was taken aback after reading the note, "Could it be, could it be that Tang Jinshan has discovered some loopholes in our defense line?" He hurried over to the wall and nervously examined the map.

Wei Yi read the note, turned around and asked Luo Zhengping: "Why didn't Nan Tianzhu report earlier?" ”

Luo Zhengping glared at him, "Comrade, you have also done underground work." Underground intelligence work can only use legal identities to collect intelligence, and then use legal identities to transmit information. If you go beyond the boundaries of legality and do it brutally, not only will you not be able to get information, but on the contrary, you will expose yourself in vain, resulting in senseless sacrifices. In addition, the enemy is not stupid, if the intelligence is leaked, they will track down the leak channel. The comrades of the underground party not only had to engage in intelligence, but also made it impossible for the enemy to track down their own heads. ”

"Not good!" Chang Ge pointed to the "Wunitang" marked on the map, and his face changed, "The terrain here is complicated, which is not conducive to the passage of large troops. We are not armed here, and the enemy must have taken advantage of this loophole! Staff Officer Wei, are there still reserves in the division? Drive to Wunitang immediately. ”

Wei Yi spread his hands and said in embarrassment: "No! At seven o'clock this morning, the enemy almost tore a hole in the southeast. In order to plug this hole, the reserves of the last company were used! ”

"Di Lingling", the phone rang on the table, Chang Ge hurriedly grabbed the microphone, "I'm Chang Ge, hey, who are you?" ”

An anxious voice came from the microphone, "Division commander, I am Sun Jincheng, the commander of the sixth company of the Second Regiment, a large force of enemies has appeared out of nowhere, at least a thousand people, they are rushing towards the north pass of Linhebei, and our company is organizing resistance." Division commander, please send us reinforcements quickly! ”

Chang Ge's mind buzzed and he almost fainted, he tried his best to control his anger, and said in the calmest tone possible: "Company Commander Sun, I'm Chang Ge." Please hold on, under any circumstances you can't let the enemy rush into the county! I'll send you reinforcements. ”

Putting down the phone, Chang Ge looked at Wei Yi and said decisively: "Staff Officer Wei, order Feng Tao's old battalion, which is closest to the county seat, to immediately hand over the position to the friendly and neighboring troops, and rush to Beiguan to block the enemy!" ”

In addition to the same parts as the special battalion, the officers and men of the 153rd Regiment were walking through the reeds, and their weapons included M1 Garand semi-automatic rifles, M1 carbines, M1903 rifles, Browning M1917 water-cooled heavy machine guns, 57 mm M18 and 75 mm M20 recoilless guns, 60 mm M2 mortars, and 81 mm M43A1 mortars. The 37mm M3 anti-aircraft gun and the 75mm M1A1 mountain gun, all the heavy equipment was disassembled and disassembled into several parts, and each soldier carried one and participated in the water march together. At this time, the quiet reeds were only the sound of officers and soldiers wading and wheezing. In the distance, a dense burst of gunfire and explosions rang out incessantly.

Yu Daxin, the commander of the regiment of medium height and wide chin, ignored the cold soaked in the water, and shouted at the top of his voice: "Brothers, the special battalion has been started, and our regiment must catch up as soon as possible, so as to compete for the first credit!" ”

A small soldier carrying a 57mm recoilless gun passed by him, and because of a slippery foot, his body staggered, and he was about to fall into the water, Yu Daxin hurriedly supported him. The soldier stood firm and hurried on. A captain next to Yu Daxin saw that the soldiers behind him were all carrying artillery parts and ammunition boxes, so he said anxiously: "Regiment commander, the march in the water is already slow, and with heavy equipment, it will be even slower." I think it's better to throw away the heavy equipment and move forward lightly. ”

"You know!" Yu Daxin glared at him, "Without heavy equipment, can you still use your face to suppress the ****?" ”

On the northern outskirts of Linhe City, the People's Liberation Army (PLA) lay on the ridge and stubbornly resisted the swarming Chiang army. For a moment, the flames were in the sky and the smoke was billowing out.

Chiang's army formed a straggler formation with squads and platoons as units, and launched attacks on PLA positions in echelons. Every two soldiers are spaced 6 to 8 meters apart, shooting while taking advantage of the terrain to leap forward and carry out the assault. While from time to time someone was knocked down by bullets fired from the opposite side, others continued to attack forward.

On the PLA position, a PLA cadre straightened up and shouted, "Comrades, we must hold on, persistence is victory!" Before the words fell, an enemy shell flew over with a whistling sound, and with a bang, it landed next to it and exploded, and the cadre's body wrapped in black smoke shook and fell......

The enemy's artillery shells continued to roar, and Chiang's artillery had quickly assembled and debugged all the disassembled and disassembled guns after passing through the Wunitang, and began to load the shells for suppressive fire. Boom, the piercing and noisy explosions kept ringing, the mud and water splashes raised by the air waves flew in all directions, and thick black plumes of smoke suddenly rose from the PLA positions. The artillery shells were accompanied by a dense stream of fire fired from Chiang's various small arms, and the fire of the People's Liberation Army's counterattack intersected and mixed with it, forming a flickering multi-layered fire network in the air......

At the headquarters of the first division, Chang Ge, whose face was gloomy, lowered his head and frowned. Originally, after thirteen days of hard fighting, today was about to win the second battle to defend the Linhe River. However, it was precisely at this juncture that the old enemy Tang Jinshan just played a cold heartbeat for him! How could he not be on fire? At this moment, he said to Wei Yi and several staff officers who were looking at each other in front of him with a heavy heart: "Order all units of the division to immediately withdraw from their existing positions and move to the areas of Wuligou, Sunjiatai, and Baiguoji, and pay attention to maintaining alternate cover when retreating, so as to prevent the enemy from grabbing the tail." ”

"Lin Hecheng was lost like this?" Wei Yi's eyes widened, and he was a little unwilling.

"What matters now is that the first division is not lost!" Chang Ge gritted his teeth, "If we don't retreat, the enemy will surround us within five hours!" I'm in charge of this, so let's do it quickly. ”

Wei Yi turned his gaze to Luo Zhengping, who was standing next to Chang Ge but had a higher position than Chang Ge, Luo Zhengping said resolutely: "If you have an opinion, you will talk about it later, now it is necessary to carry out the order of Master Chang!" ”

The originally orderly division headquarters suddenly became chaotic, and the cadres and soldiers stacked drawings, collected telephone lines, and moved boxes. A cadre took a stack of documents and materials and threw them into the brazier, and the originally faint blue flame suddenly turned into a flame, big and high, and kept spitting black smoke.

Several jeeps came from a distance and stopped in front of Linhe City. Now, the city of Linhe is full of Jiang officers and soldiers with loaded guns and ammunition, and a red flag is erected on the top of the city. At dusk, the sun is setting, and the afterglow of the setting sun dyes the city of Linhe as red as blood.

Zhang Lijiang and Yu Daxin, who were standing in the city gate cave, saw Tang Jinshan, who was full of spring breeze coming down from the third car, and hurriedly stepped forward to salute.

"Commander Yu and Battalion Commander Zhang, you have once again made great contributions, this is great!" Tang Jinshan shook hands with the two of them respectively, his eyes lit up with excitement, "I have reported to Chief Chen and the Ministry of National Defense, and I will give you two merit, and you will receive the Yunmo Medal, congratulations." ”

The two replied in unison: "Thank you for the cultivation of the military seat!" ”

Zhang Lijiang still had a little regret, "It's a pity that the **** First Division escaped before our army encircled Helong." ”

"Although only one empty city was captured, the political and military significance of this battle was still very great." While inspecting the city wall, Tang Jinshan proudly said to Zhang Lijiang and others, "Linhe is a famous historical city in Jianghuai, and it is the first city captured by the New Fourth Army during its counteroffensive against Japan in 1944. At that time, the Communist Party newspaper and radio published a bitter editorial, saying: "Just as **** was humiliatingly defeated on the battlefield in Henan and Hunan, and a large area of the country was lost to the Japanese invaders, the New Fourth Army recovered Linhe, an important town in Jianghuai that had been occupied by the Japanese invaders for many years. When the Kuomintang was defeated, it not only lost its territory, but also lost dozens of arsenals full of weapons and ammunition to the Japanese invaders. If these arms were handed over to the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army, then the Eighth Route Army, which had already expanded the guerrilla warfare to Beiping, Tianjin, Shanghai, and Nanjing, would soon seize these large cities larger than the Lin River, and thus hasten the victory of the War of Resistance Against Japan. However, the Kuomintang would rather give these weapons to the Japanese to invade our country than let the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army take them to recover the lost territory. 'Oh, what a vicious wording!' Today, after the recovery of Linhe, we are finally relieved. At this time, he smiled bitterly, "Of course, if **** hadn't had the rout of Yuxianggui at that time, there would have been no editorial, and now the CCP wouldn't be so difficult!" ”

"The general has never forgotten, has far-sighted knowledge, and has the style of a literati!" Xu Li, who was traveling with him, took a picture of Tang Jinshan while taking a picture of Tang Jinshan.

Tang Jinshan did not seem to be interested in Xu Li's double shot (taking pictures and patting horses), and did not answer, and his eyes stopped when he swept to the slogan on the wall: "Jiang's army will be defeated, our army will win".

"The lowly duty just came to search for the remnants of the enemy, and he didn't have time to eradicate the **** slogan." Zhang Lijiang found that he had made a big or small mistake in front of the chief, and hurriedly explained, "I'll send someone to ......."

"Don't worry," Tang Jinshan waved his hand at Zhang Lijiang, then stood in front of the slogan, straightened his waist, and put his hands behind his back, "Miss Xu, you have to take pictures of the slogans on the wall and the soldiers of our army on the wall, and publish them in the newspaper for the Communist Party to see." ”

"Okay, don't move, smile." Xu Li pressed the shutter.

"Report," Liu Yan walked up to Tang Jinshan, "the American adviser is here." ”

A jeep with a star-striped flag approached from a distance, and when it came to a stop at the city gate, three Americans in military uniforms got down, and the middle-aged man in front was tall and tall, carrying two gold stars on his epaulettes and two hibiscus trunks (the mark of an American captain) on the two epaulettes.

"Hello, General Tang." The Americans in front spoke somewhat stiff Chinese.

"Hello, General Bale." Tang Jinshan greeted.

"Dear general, congratulations on the victory you have just achieved." Bale had a smile on his face, "Your victory proves that communism can be eliminated by force." "It turned out that he was a die-hard advocate of armed anti-communism, and he was very annoyed by the idea of the peaceful evolution of communist forces put forward by some American politicians." Some of us Americans were frightened by the expansion of communism and said that the only way to do it was to use the Cold War. There is no doubt that this assertion of tolerance for communism is a capitulation to them. Regrettably, even General Marshall, whom I have always respected, was in favor of the Cold War, and he persuaded President Truman to make the Cold War a U.S. foreign policy, which is terrible! Now, I can use your victory to refute the pessimists......"

Erniuzi, who was standing on the side, asked Zhang Lijiang in a low voice: "Battalion commander, what is the name of the American?" ”

"U.S. Army Major General Harry Bargotte, U.S. Advisory Corps."

"Hah......" Er Niuzi grinned, "Battalion commander, that guy is called smooth, isn't he a pug?" ”

"it!" Zhang Lijiang couldn't help laughing.

Er Niuzi was still looking at the foreigner, "Battalion commander, what is he obviously called, but why did the army commander call him scar just now?" ”

"That's his nickname, and the nickname of foreigners is like our Chinese's nickname, but it's not exactly the same as Chinese's nickname. Chinese people are not happy to call him nicknames in public, and the more foreigners call him nicknames in public, the more you seem to be close to him. ”

Er Niuzi asked again, "What did the foreigner mean when he said the Cold War just now?" ”

Zhang Lijiang blinked his eyes, "It's probably a foreigner's foreign recruitment." ”

Bale and Tang Jinshan walked past Zhang Lijiang and Er Niuzi, the two stood up and saluted, and Er Niuzi said, "Hello, General Scar." ”

Bale turned to look at Erniuzi, blinked his blue eyes, and said happily, "Thank you for calling me a nickname, dear soldier." ”

After Bale left, Er Niuzi shook his head proudly, "Battalion commander, I just called him Scar, and he's still happy!" ”

"Bastard boy!" Zhang Lijiang pursed his lips.

Chen Shuxiang hurriedly walked over with a briefcase, and Liu Yan greeted him, "What's the matter?" ”

Chen Shuxiang said: "There is an urgent telegram to be handed over to the military commander. ”

Liu Yan coughed deliberately, Tang Jinshan nodded to Bale, turned around and walked over, Chen Shuxiang took out a telegram, and said with an anxious expression: "I just received an urgent telegram from Commander Deng of the 69th Army, the 69th Army is under siege in Renhewei in Xulou County, and Commander Deng asks our department to rescue. ”

Tang Jinshan was startled, hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Call back to Commander Deng, saying that I will arrive immediately." ”

"It's too late!" Chen Shuxiang shook his head in frustration and said, "Before the telegram of the 69th Army was filmed, the radio signal was interrupted!" ”

"What?" Tang Jinshan shuddered, he took the telegram with trembling hands, he felt that the telegram was extremely heavy, and it read-

"Brother Tang: I am under siege in Renhewei in Xulou, please ......"

On the battlefield of Renhewei, the smoke of gunpowder was filled with fire.

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.

Several officers brandished pistols to stop the rout, but they were carried by the routs and retreated, and the positions were full of abandoned artillery, guns, cars, and 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! ”

In a small village on the northwest edge of the Lin River, Chang Ge and Luo Zhengping were sitting on the grass pile at the entrance of the village, looking at each other speechlessly. The originally calm water surface of the pond next to it rippled, and the bare branches of the large willow tree by the pond also swayed, and the wind rose.

Seeing Feng Tao coming over, the two stood up.

"Report, the 1st Battalion has completed the task of covering the transfer of the whole division and broke out of the enemy encirclement, and now it is back to the team." The slender and tall Feng Tao is now more slender, his rectangular face has become slender, and his already obvious cheekbones are more prominent.

"Good work." Chang Ge held Feng Tao's hand and said.

"It's nothing hard, it's just that I couldn't hold the Lin River." Feng Tao's bloodshot eyes moistened, and crystal tears welled up in his sunken eyes.

"Feng Tao, blame me for this." Luo Zhengping patted Feng Tao on the shoulder, "The First Division did not have the task of defending the Lin River from the beginning, and the Jianghuai Branch only asked the First Division to defend mobilely, drag the 74th Army, and gain time for the main force to fight the war of annihilation." Speaking of this, Luo Zhengping's face showed a hint of shame, of course he wanted to defend the Linhe River when he came to the front line of the Lin River this time. Affected by the victory of the last defense battle, my mind was also a little hot, thinking that the 74th Army would only be able to win the battle again, so I put forward the slogan of 'fighting the second battle of the Linhe River', which was my mistake, and the mobilization slogan was not mentioned well. ”

"No, I'm responsible, too." Chang Ge also looked ashamed, "I didn't expect the enemy to take advantage of the loopholes in that ghost place, originally Lin He could have defended it." ”

"What's next?" Feng Tao asked.

Chang Ge said: "The Jianghuai sub-bureau has studied the current situation, and before the start of the Renhewei Campaign, we had four county seats, and now they are all occupied by the enemy. In order to protect Jianghuai, Commander Gu had planned to set up an ambush on the way of the enemy's 74th Army from Linhe to Xulou, and then fight a Renhewei-style annihilation battle. But the cunning Tang Jinshan couldn't come out of Linhe City for several days. In view of the fact that we have neither fighter planes nor a foothold in Jianghuai, the Jianghuai Sub-Bureau has decided to move all the main forces north of the Longhai Road to join up with the Huanghuai troops, except for leaving a part of the troops to fight guerrilla attacks on the spot. ”

"Abandon the Jianghuai base area?" Feng Tao's eyes widened in surprise. He knew, of course, that retreating would mean that the end of the war would be far away. Although at the beginning of the war of self-defense, he noticed that on the one hand, the higher-level leaders were making preparations for retreating to abandon the Jianghuai base areas, and on the other hand, they were also trying their best to keep at least part of the base areas. Of course, he knew the secret, as long as the Communists could gain a foothold in Jianghuai, they could quickly win the victory, and Ren Hewei's victory made him even more convinced of this.

Just yesterday, according to the situation of the war, he was still optimistically hoping that the civil war was about to end victoriously. On the evening of Chinese New Year's Eve, his one, wearing a water-red tweed beret, a purple silk scarf around his neck, a dark yellow tweed coat, tight black wool trousers and black leather high-top heels, walked down the boulevard with a gray cotton coat and a gray muslin tunic, and black round scalp shoes. Thousands of slender willow branches hung low in the air, and the branches were covered with many protruding shoots. The plum blossoms on the side of the road are full of yellow wax altar-shaped petals, exuding a strong fragrance. Thousands of snowflakes the size of a grain of rice fall from the sky, spinning leisurely in the air. Far and near, many families are setting off firecrackers for the New Year, flashing with electric lights, flying snakes, shocking sounds, and smoky. A fresh breeze blew in his face, blowing the silk scarf around Feng Tao's neck. A silk scarf embroidered with multiple petals rolled up, covering her face......

However, just one day later, all of Feng Tao's beautiful longings were coldly torn apart by the sudden change! How could he not feel confused and confused? At this moment, he looked at the two leaders, and his expression was still a little unwilling, "The main force has just won a big victory in Renhewei, and now we can concentrate our forces to counterattack Linhe and recapture Linhe." ”

Chang Ge understood that the situation would still improve after recapturing Linhe, but he smiled bitterly, "Your idea is very good, but at present, Tang Jinshan is guarding Linhe, and there are the Seventh Army and the 28th Army nearby to meet him." If we want to fight the Lin River now, we will have to fight with the three armies of Chiang's army at the same time. Speaking of this, he sighed, "Right now, we don't have the ability to fight a larger-scale war of annihilation." ”

Feng Tao rolled his eyes, "We can disperse and fight guerrillas." During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, the situation was much worse than it is now, but we relied on scattered guerrilla attacks to finally keep the Jianghuai base area. Now, wouldn't we be able to keep Jianghuai in the same way if we scattered guerrillas? ”

Chang Ge smiled naturally at this time, "In the past, the scattered guerrilla attacks were based on the environment at that time. Today, the concentration of troops to fight a big war is also based on the current environment. ”

"We fought the Japanese devils here for eight years, and we were not driven away by the Japanese devils. Now that they have fought a self-defense war for half a year, they have withdrawn north to Huanghuai, but I'm afraid that some soldiers can't figure it out, right? Feng Tao actually couldn't figure it out in his heart.

"This is not surprising," Luo Zhengping took out a few pages of manuscript paper, "This requires us to make it clear to the cadres and soldiers that our retreat today is not a one-time retreat, but a preparation for a major counteroffensive in the future." I was entrusted by the sub-bureau to draft a "Letter to the People of Jianghuai", and you, a big star who has acted, will scrutinize it. ”

This "Letter to the People of Jianghuai" was not broadcast to the outside world. When Feng Tao was still reading the manuscript, a bad news suddenly made Luo Zhengping's mouth open, and his eyes widened. Just now, several enemy planes bombed Wuliu Village, where the Jianghuai radio station was located, and the announcer Xiaocao, the golden voice, was injured, and two radio technicians were killed. Although the radio equipment and equipment were basically not damaged, it did not affect the broadcasting. But Luo Zhengping knows, at this time, what kind of voice can be broadcast? He hurriedly ordered the radio station to suspend broadcasting, which was transferred to Huanghuai without a minute of delay.

There is a set of brick and stone structure three-entry houses in the east of Linhe County, and the dozen tall pine and cypress branches planted in the front and back yards are almost connected with the green tiles on the sloped roofs on both sides of the house. During the two battles of the Limhe River, several bombs were also dropped near the house, but the main body of the house was not damaged. After Chiang's army occupied the Lin River, it became the headquarters of the 74th Army. At this moment, Tang Jinshan, Major General Chief of Staff Du Song, and Secretary Liu Yan sat in the gorgeous hall of the main room in the front yard, looking at the military map spread out on the table of the Eight Immortals, but did not speak.

There is a colorful ink painting hanging on the wall opposite Tang Jinshan, which depicts a big white goose floating on the water and playing, and the left side of the picture is also equipped with a cursive poem, "Goose, goose, goose, song to the sky......" At this moment, Tang Jinshan is not as leisurely and comfortable as the goose, his eyes are in a daze, his lips are pursed, and he is afraid in his heart, he faintly feels that if the main target of **** is not in Xu Lou, but in Linhe, then he not only does not have the glory of Linhe's victory, but on the contrary, he will ......

"The main target of **** is not in Linhe, what a blessing!" Tang Jinshan glanced at the chief of staff and exhaled.

It turned out that at the beginning of this battle, Chiang's troops from all walks of life were blocked by the PLA, and during the battle, the PLA's blocking forces accounted for about half of the troops participating in the battle. The reason why so many people were used to block the attack was because the PLA commanders were not sure which way to choose Chiang Army as the main target. On the eighth day after the 74th Army's attack on the Linhe, the forward troops reported that a large number of soldiers with northern accents appeared on the **** position opposite; The next day it was reported that the northern accent had suddenly decreased again. Most of the soldiers of the Jianghuai Liberation Army were southerners, and most of the soldiers of the Huanghuai Liberation Army were northerners, and the Huanghuai troops were transferred from the north of Longhai Road at the beginning of the battle. Tang Jinshan estimated that the **** leader wanted to fight the idea of the 74th Army at that time, but after that, the entire battlefield underwent major changes, and the **** had to give up the predetermined plan, transfer a large number of troops to the Western Front, and finally capture the 69th Army in Xulou.

Juniper, who was thin and had compact facial features, nodded, revealing a smile, "Junzao, you didn't take advantage of the victory to pursue after conquering the Lin River, just to prevent the **** from coming to Ren Hewei again?" ”

Seeing Tang Jinshan smile slightly, Liu Yan also nodded, "**** has always acted secretly and quickly, so you must be on guard!" ”

"Report," Zhang Lijiang walked into the room, "Junza, according to my scout's report, the **** First Division located in the Baiguoji area began to move north. With that, he walked over to the table and reached out to the map, "This, ran in this direction." ”

"Hmm," Tang Jinshan looked down at the map, smacked his lips, and did not speak.

At this moment, he suddenly felt a flash of light in front of him, and as soon as he heard someone say, "Okay, this is great!" He looked up and saw that it was Xu Li and Chen Shuxiang who had come in. Xu Li, who was holding the camera, still had a smile on his face, "General Tang, just now the four of you looked at the map were all photographed, and the effect is great!" You'll see this photo in the JoongAng Daily, and I have the title in mind, and it's called 'General Tang is strategizing', how about it? ”

Tang Jinshan smiled and didn't say anything.

Chen Shuxiang took a telegram and said, "Military seat, Chief Chen is calling." ”

"Read," Tang Jinshan raised his hand.

"Jiangbei **** ministers Jun Jian: Jianghuai communist bandits were repeatedly fatally attacked by our army, lost four cities in a row, suffered 60,000 casualties, and the remnants were fleeing northward. The ministers were specially ordered to supervise and encourage the troops to advance bravely to ensure that all the fugitives were annihilated south of Longhai Road. This order, Chen Moshan. ”

Tang Jinshan took the telegram, looked at it, and handed it to Juniper, who blinked, "Is this **** playing a trick to lure us into the bait again?" ”

Tang Jinshan looked at the map and snorted in his nostrils, "Five days ago, I also suspect that this is their trap." But today, it is certain that they are surrounded on three sides by our army, and they have no way but to flee north! Saying that, he stood up and slapped the table, "Order the troops, set off tomorrow early in the morning, and pursue the ****." ”
