Arrogant Liao Yaoxiang (2)
"Hahaha, this trick of the communist army can't be used in front of me!" Liao Yaoxiang looked at the map and said happily: "Although it has been blocked by some stubborn communists, it cannot stop the advance of our army, and now the main force of the so-called third column of the communist army has been surrounded by me in Siping, and it will be wiped out by me in the near future!" "Junzuo's plan is simply a stroke of genius, using the powerful firepower of the fourth division to give the communist army the illusion that our army is attacking Benxi with all its might, and then surprise and detour its flank and back to carry out a large-depth and roundabout encirclement, a high move!" The chief of staff also said happily. "Speaking of which, Senior Commander Liu is indispensable, I want to ask for credit for him, hey, has the Fourth Division reached the periphery of Siping?" Liao Yaoxiang asked. "I've already been contacted, Division Commander Liu has already started the whole division, and he will arrive soon!" said the chief of staff. "Good! As soon as the fourth division arrived, the general attack immediately began! ”
"Are the troops keeping up?" Liu Hai asked while sitting in the command car. "It's already up to date, Liu Xiaoshan's pioneer!" Song Ruyu said. Liu Hai looked at Song Ruyu and felt comforted for a while, after Sima Hong left, Song Ruyu secretly sent a telegram to the Nanjing Presidential Palace, asking to serve as Liu Hai's adjutant, but when attacking Benxi, Song Ruyu showed the appointment of the presidential palace on official business, and moved Liu Hai's marching mattress to his car in a grand manner. "Division, this time Liao Yaoxiang arranged it well, the communist army is really useless, if the New Sixth Army attacks with the whole army, it will blow up Benxi in one day, and it will take three days?" Ghost Cannon said contemptuously. "Liao Yaoxiang is right, the communist army has always had thin firepower, and it is impossible for them to have firepower like ours, so they will be mistaken for the whole army of the New Sixth Army attack, Liao Yaoxiang can think of this level, it can also be called a huge detail, this time the communist army in Siping is in trouble!" Bangs said. "Of course, where have those Turkish communists seen such a scene, and how can they be opponents of the party-state!" Song Ruyu said.
"It's troublesome, Liao Yaoxiang surrounded Siping to death, and there are more than 10,000 troops inside!" The staff officer said to Commander Lin. "Tell them, don't fight to the death, don't fall in love with the war, break through as soon as possible, don't fight for the length of the moment, the future will be long!" Commander-in-Chief Lin said without hesitation. "The most fatal thing now is that the Fourth Division has moved closer to Siping, if this artillery division goes up again, I'm afraid that the Third Column will not be able to escape alone!" The staff officer said. "Tell the troops on the periphery to block the advance of the fourth division as much as possible, and the troops must withdraw anyway!" Commander-in-Chief Lin sighed, "The responsibility for today's defeat lies with me, it is I who underestimated the combat effectiveness of the American Ace Division, especially the Fourth Division!" "In fact, at this time, the commander of the third column has already begun to deploy to break through, but the new Sixth Army is strong, and several breakthroughs have no results, and it is now very dangerous! According to Mr. Lin's order, the small troops on the periphery of Siping began to act to block Liu Hai's troops!
"Division, the front is blocked by a small group of communist troops, and the vanguard battalion has already fought against it, and it is estimated that it can be defeated in fifteen minutes!" Song Ruyu reported. "Well, keep going!" The bangs are not open! "Division, the section of the road ahead has been destroyed, and the engineer battalion is rushing to repair it! It is expected to be rushed within an hour! "Good!" Bangs said at one time. "Report, a bridge in front was blown up, we have no equipment for repairs, we can only make a detour, about fifteen kilometers of detour, to move on!" Song Ruyu said. "No need!" Liu Hai suddenly said, "The troops turned to the northwest and advanced, at full speed, all the infantry got on the car, and after advancing fifty kilometers to the northwest, they turned to the northeast, and then went straight to Siping!" "Understood!" Song Ruyu said. Liu Hai has already discovered that the other party is using various methods to block his advance, and it seems that the communist army in Siping is really anxious! According to Liu Hai's deployment, the Fourth Division suddenly turned around, making all the preparations made by the Democratic Alliance Army on Liu Hai's original route invalid! In desperation, those peripheral troops had no choice but to chase after the fourth division according to the direction of travel shown by the intelligence, and they had intercepted it! However, Liu Hai's turn again made the investigation of the Democratic Alliance Army not detect it in time, and the result was that the Democratic Alliance Army could no longer find Liu Hai's troops.
"What? The enemy's fourth division is nowhere to be found? "Commander-in-Chief Lin was taken aback!" Yes, in fact, our speed is also very fast, but the opponent is too cunning to follow the direction of its movement at all, and the preliminary estimate is that the opponent has changed the direction of progress again! The staff officer next to him said. We must quickly find their traces, the reason why Liao Yaoxiang did not launch a general attack is because this fourth division is not in place, with their attack firepower in Benxi, it is definitely a necessary firepower division for attacking the city, how did you really pay attention to this fourth division before, has the information of the division commander Liu Hai been collected? Chief Commander Lin said. Most of the information that has been collected is provided by our sleeper officer, according to him, this Liu Hai has no bad habits and partisan disputes, is a professional soldier with professional ethics, and has made great contributions in the War of Resistance against Japan! "Staff report." This kind of person should be able to be fought for, let them think of a way, as soon as possible to turn this Liu Haice around, the future Northeast battlefield is mainly field battles, artillery is a necessary condition, if there can be such an excellent artillery commander, it is of great significance! Chief Commander Lin said. Be! ”
"Sir, Liu Haishi has arrived at the designated position, and the general attack can begin!" Adjutant reports. "Great, order all divisions to start attacking and fighting, and we must wipe out all the third column of the communist army here!" Liao Yaoxiang said excitedly. At this time, Liu Hai had indeed reached Liao Yaoxiang's designated position, and after successfully shaking off the block, Liu Hai began to rush to Siping non-stop, and then began to arrange troops and start attacking according to Liao Yaoxiang's plan! Hundreds of artillery began to attack Siping, and the swarms of shells almost did not make much effort to destroy the blocking positions of the Democratic Alliance Army, and almost all the fortifications in the attack area were destroyed! Liao Yaoxiang commanded three divisions of troops to start attacking, and at this time, the fighters of the Democratic Alliance Army hiding in the anti-artillery hole began to enter the dilapidated position, trying to rely on the remnants of the fortifications to block the operation, but after they entered the position, Liu Hai's artillery fire came back again, and the soldiers of the Democratic Alliance Army, who had not much cover, turned their backs and turned over, so Liao Yaoxiang's attack was very smooth!
"Tell the attacking troops in each section to step up their attacks, the teaching teams and training battalions of each unit to patrol and attack clockwise along Siping, and once they find the communist troops, they will give me all the strength to wipe them out!" Liao Yaoxiang gave the battle order. "Yes!" The staff officer said yes and ran away. "By the way, order the tanks to cover the attack along the Siping streets, and the bombers will cruise with bombs, and once they find out about the breakthrough of the communist army, report immediately!" Liao Yaoxiang continued. This is really too little for the Democratic Alliance Army that intends to break through, because no matter how bad it is, the main force of the third column also has more than 10,000 people, and once the breakthrough begins, it will definitely be an offensive breakthrough with the regiment as a unit. Sure enough, under the rapid attack of the New Sixth Army, the third column began to break through to the west, and there were only two troops of the teaching battalion in the west to patrol and attack, so that they were helpless in the face of thousands of breakthrough troops! "Humph! Since they have started, let's really start too, notify the Fifth Brigade in the air, and the tank brigade will immediately rush to Yaozipo to carry out a fire attack on the communist army that broke through, and never let go of a single communist soldier! Liao Yaoxiang said excitedly: "And Liu Hai's heavy artillery regiment is also going to join the attack!" ”
The third column that was breaking through the encirclement while breaking through the blockade and stepping up the breakthrough, but soon the planes in the sky arrived, striking at the main force of the third column that was breaking through, and the tank troops also arrived, and finally Wu Fatzi's heavy artillery regiment, under the ferocious fire attack of the national army, the Democratic Alliance Army suffered heavy casualties, the column commander was killed, and the political commissar was seriously injured. The artillery was killed, and was killed by the fire of the new 22nd Division, in this case, the third column, which originally had more than 10,000 people, suffered more than 8,000 casualties and was annihilated, and only less than 2,000 scattered troops broke out of the encirclement through the gap in the encirclement, and some were forced to withdraw to Siping! Liao Yaoxiang did not have mercy, and immediately issued a general attack order, and the three divisions of the New Sixth Army launched a final attack on Siping, and after several hours of fierce fighting, Siping was overcome!
"Hahaha! These local recalcitrant people are not the opponents of the national army at all, and it is only a matter of time before they are eliminated, so they telegraphed to the presidential palace and the high command that after a bloody battle, Siping has been conquered, and more than 10,000 people of the so-called democratic coalition army of the communist army have been eliminated, and our losses are slight! Liao Yaoxiang looked at the city wall of Siping and said to his adjutant, "Find another group of reporters to publicize it and hit the morale of the communist army!" "Yes, I'll do it right away!" "Also, tell the division commanders that after a short rest, continue to march north to attack the communist army, and not give the enemy a chance to breathe, as for their merits, I will remember them, and I will remember them when I have been!" Liao Yaoxiang added, "Division Commander Liu Hai's Fourth Division is on standby, waiting for the next order!" "Understood!" The adjutant agreed.
After the Battle of Siping, Chiang Kai-shek was very happy, and ordered Liao Yaoxiang to be promoted to the commander of the Ninth Corps, and his troops were expanded to two armies, and then made persistent efforts to continue the attack, and also sent 20,000 oceans to boost morale and reward meritorious personnel.
