Chapter 46: Tang Jinshan's Reflections (Supplemental Edition)
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 sloping roofs on both sides of the house. During www.biquge.info the two battles of the Linhe River, several bombs also fell 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.
On the wall opposite Tang Jinshan hangs a colorful ink painting of a large white goose with its slender neck raised, flapping its wings, floating on the water, and playing happily. On the left side of the picture is also equipped with a cursive Tang poem, "Goose, goose, goose, song to the sky......"
At this moment, Tang Jinshan is not as leisurely and comfortable as the goose in the painting, 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 the communist army is not in Xu Lou, but in Linhe, then not only does he not have the glory of Linhe's victory, but on the contrary, he will ......
"The main target of the communist army 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 assault on the Linhe, the forward troops reported the presence of a large number of soldiers with northern accents on the communist positions 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 head of the communist army wanted to fight the idea of the 74th Army at that time, but after that, the entire battlefield underwent major changes, and the communist army had to abandon the predetermined plan, transfer a large number of troops to the western front, and finally capture the 69th Army at 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 communist army from coming to Renhe Wei again?" ”
Tang Jinshan didn't say anything, but nodded. After receiving the bad news of the destruction of the 69th Army, he, like his teacher Chen Mosong, also calculated whether the end of the 69th Army could be avoided? In this battle, the 69th Army and the 11th Army acted together. The 69th Army was finished, and although the 11th Army also suffered losses, it was not finished. In this regard, Chen Mosong specially sent Gao Shen Linxi, a major general of the battalion, to fly to the garrison of the 11th Army by plane to learn about the situation from the army commander. The commander explained to Chen Mosong's representative, Lin Xi, that when the 69th Army was suddenly surrounded by the Communist Army, although the 11th Army tried to break through the communist blockade line many times, it unfortunately did not succeed.
The radio conversation between the head of the communist army and the commander of the subordinate blocking unit overheard by the telecommunications reconnaissance department of the camp also seemed to confirm the explanation of the commander of the 11th Army. Due to the urgency of the situation at that time, the head of the communist army did not even have time to say the secret words, and directly said in plain language: "You must resist it, and you can't let the 11th Army come over under any circumstances." Once the 11th Army rushes over, the whole campaign will be over, and all of us will be finished. The commander also said directly in plain language: "Since this is the case, then, then we will all be wiped out, and we will never let the 11th Army come." ”
"Wiped out?" Tang Jinshan read the copy of the conversation record between the army commander and Lin Xi, and then learned about the opponent's words from the radio monitoring record of the camp, and suddenly his heart trembled. Yes, although the commander of the 11th Army rescued, didn't he still lack the spirit of sacrificing himself and taking care of the big man who had to break through the blockade line of the communist army even after all the troops were defeated? Not only is it the commander of the 11th Army, but also many officers, including him Tang Jinshan, don't they all lack the spirit of sacrificing the small and caring for the big after all the battles?
On the 19th, the day of the end of the Battle of Renhewei, Chen Mosong ordered Tang Jinshan's troops to attack Xulou County with the 11th Army and other troops. He called Chen Mosong back, saying, "Bandits are rampant around the Lin River, and the traffic is not smooth. At this time, he ventured into Xu Lou, and there was more than luck. In fact, the real purpose of his dare not attack Xulou was that the 69th Army had been destroyed in Renhewei in Xulou County, and at this time, the main force of the communist army assembled in Xulou County could already free up their hands and calmly deal with any prey sent to the door. If his 74th Army was surrounded by the Communist Army on the way to the army, the commander of the 11th Army would not have taken out the spirit of sacrificing the small and caring for the big with all the defeat, although they had a deep personal friendship.
At this moment, seeing Tang Jinshan smiling slightly, Liu Yan also nodded, "The communist army has always acted secretively 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 of the Communist Army 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, Shang Xiaoqin and Chen Shuxiang who came 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? ”
Shang Xiaoqin, who was holding the camera, also said with a smile: "I see that Commander Tang's expression is much better than when he visited the pagoda in the morning." ”
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.
"Jun Jian, the ministers of the Jiangbei National Army: The Jianghuai communist bandits have been fatally attacked by our army, losing four cities in a row, suffering 60,000 casualties, and the remnants are 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 Mosong. ”
Tang Jinshan took the telegram, looked at it, and handed it to Juniper, who blinked, "Is this the communist army 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! As he spoke, he stood up and slapped the table, "Order the troops, set off at seven o'clock tomorrow morning, and pursue the communist army." ”
As soon as the words fell, a crisp gunfire suddenly sounded outside, bang, bang. As soon as the gunshots rang out, everyone became nervous, "Military seat, the communist army has counterattacked towards the Lin River?" ”
Tang Jinshan listened to the gunshots, but laughed out loud, "Don't worry, it's not the regular army of the Communist Army that has come back, it's their guerrillas who are making trouble." The plan to pursue the communist forces was carried out as usual. ”
In the evening, County Magistrate Deng came to the military headquarters, and as soon as he saw Tang Jinshan, he said with a sad face: "Commander Tang, if you leave like this, if the communist army comes in again, what will you do?" Those homecoming groups are all children who don't eat dogs. It's okay for them to fight against people and harm the common people, but if you expect these ruffians and hooligans to fight and defend their territory, I'm afraid that they will even lose Nanjing and Shanghai. ”
Tang Jinshan beckoned County Magistrate Deng to sit on the Taishi chair, and he also sat on the Taishi chair opposite, and said with a smile: "County Magistrate Deng doesn't have to worry, I am ready to leave some left-behind troops and wait for the first and third security regiments to take over." If the security regiment does not come, these remaining troops will not leave. Communist guerrillas would wreak havoc outside the city, but they would not be able to enter the city. ”
Afterwards, Tang Jinshan approached the Eight Immortals Table again, and said solemnly: "The ultimate goal of the war is to restore peace, as long as you, the county magistrate, do a good job in the people's livelihood in Linhe, you are not afraid of the Communist Party making waves." ”
County Magistrate Deng smiled bitterly and said sincerely: "I, Deng Mou, am not a corrupt official, as the magistrate of Linhe, it is naturally my duty to improve the livelihood of the people in Linhe." It's just that it is really difficult to develop the people's livelihood now, and the difficulty I am talking about is not that the Communist Party is making trouble. For example, the repatriation group I mentioned is a stumbling block and a major difficulty in developing people's livelihood. Even though I am the head of a county, I am afraid that I am not enough. ”
Tang Jinshan looked at the middle-aged man in front of him, who didn't look like a bureaucrat, but like a private school teacher, with a solemn expression and did not speak.
There was a flurry of gunfire outside, and on this silent winter night, the sound was even more shrill. (To be continued.) )
