New tasks
"You really should stay, General Bangs!" Onorov looked at his bangs with pity. "Thank you for your appreciation of the general, but I must return to my homeland, where I am needed!" Bangs said. "Hehe, we in the Soviet Union welcome your arrival at any time, I wish you a smooth journey, we will send fighter jets to escort you!" Onorov said. "Thank you for the arrangement, I will come to Moscow again if I have the chance!" Bangs said. "Honestly, dear bangs, you should be thinking about it!" After getting on the plane, Comrade Political Commissar was still a little unwilling. "Comrade Political Commissar, I am a Chinese!" Bangs said with a smile. "That's the worst part!" Comrade Political Commissar shrugged his shoulders and said. "I still want to thank you for saving my life! Comrade Political Commissar! Bangs said. You're welcome, we are good friends, if you come to the USSR next time, I will compare with you again, I must get back the face of the last time! The commissar said with a smile. I'm sure you can, Comrade Commissar! Bangs laughed.
"Report, Liu Hai, the commander of the Eighth Division, has returned from injury and has come to report!" Bangs stood in front of Number One. "Hahaha, great, our cannon god is back, are all the injuries healed?" Chief No. 1 asked with concern. "It's okay, it's fine, that bullet is a little crooked!" Bangs said. "It's really time for you to come, I have a good mink here, which Xiao Jinguang's kid found out from the old rich man in the place and gave it to me, I will give it to you now, even if it is a little thanks, thank you for saving your life!" The No. 1 leader took out a mink from his bag, "Don't dislike it, you know that our Communist Party is poor, and I can take such a thing now!" "Chief, this is too precious, you better keep it, I don't need it!" Bangs hurriedly pushed away. "Take it!" The No. 1 leader stuffed the mink into his bangs, "This mink is not for you, I have a task for you!" This is a very important task, and it is none other than you and your Eighth Division! ”
"While you went to the USSR to recuperate, we organized another big campaign, the Huaihai Campaign! The total annihilation of the Kuomintang army of 800,000 lasted 66 days. Although the Kuomintang army successively invested seven corps, two pacification zones, 34 corps, and 86 divisions, totaling about 800,000 people, and flew more than 2,900 sorties. The PLA has about 600,000 troops in the 16 columns of the East China Field Army, seven columns of the Central Plains Field Army, and local troops of the East China Military Region and the Central Plains Military Region. In the campaign, the CCP wiped out the Kuomintang Army's Xuzhou General Advance Headquarters and its five corps headquarters, 22 military headquarters, 56 divisions, and one appeasement area, and the regular army and other troops totaling 550,000 people, accounting for about 69 percent of its participating forces! More than 100 high-ranking generals above the rank of major general of the Kuomintang were captured, 22 defected to Chengcheng, and 8 rebelled. These results do not include the number of people who dispersed and fled. After the No. 1 leader finished speaking, he looked at Liu Hai and said, "Among the captured officers, there is your old commander Du Yuming, if you want to meet him, I can arrange it for you!" ”
"Thank you, chief, or have a chance to see you again in the future, Chief Du and I fought all the way from Shanghai to the end of the War of Resistance against Japan, but it is said that it is affectionate and meaningful, everyone in the Kuomintang knows that I am Du Yuming's baby artilleryman, and now that the Kuomintang and the Communist Party are fighting, he can survive this war, he is already very lucky! I think he was defeated and captured, and I came over from Chengcheng, standing on the position of being a fellow party-state soldier, I feel guilty when I stand in front of Chief Du! Bangs said with some embarrassment. Well, there will always be a chance to meet in the future, although Du Yuming is a Kuomintang, he is not a man, on the battlefield of resistance against Japan; Repeated military exploits, especially in Kunlun Pass, the bloody battle of the Fifth Division of the Japanese Army, and the heavy damage to the Japanese army to recapture Kunlun Pass, can be described as a great achievement, I hope he can return to the people's side as soon as possible! Chief No. 1 said with a sigh. Chief, you haven't said anything about my mission? Liu Hai didn't want to mention the previous things again, so he reminded!
"Your mission this time is Inner Mongolia, and at a time when we are in the midst of a fierce war with the Kuomintang, the Inner Mongolia People's Congress and the establishment of the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Government were held at Wangye Temple. The "Inner Mongolia People's Congress" was also convened. The meeting adopted Ulanfu's political report and the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Government's autonomy declaration, administrative program, organizational outline, and other documents, and the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Government's provisional senate and its members appeared, and 121 people, including Ulanfu, became senators, including 96 of the Mongolian and Daur ethnic groups, 24 of the Han nationality, one Hui ethnic group, and five women. The congress elected 21 members of the government, and only three members of the Han nationality were elected. Ulanfu became the chairman of the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Government, and Hafenga could only be the vice chairman. With Boyan Mandu as the speaker and Ji Yatai as the deputy speaker, a so-called Inner Mongolia autonomous government was established. Some time ago, we didn't have time to take care of this matter, but now it's different, the victory north of the Yangtze River is already doomed, and the so-called autonomous government in Inner Mongolia is impossible for us to accept, and the original plan was to send one or two divisions to solve the problem! But now the situation in North China has changed! Chief One said. What's changed? Bangs asked.
In addition to more than 50,000 people stationed in Guisui and Datong, the Fu Zuoyi clique of the Kuomintang in North China has more than 500,000 troops, and is located on a narrow strip of about 500 kilometers from Shanhaiguan on Beining Road in the east to Zhangjiakou on Pingsui Road in the west. In this part of the army, there were 17 divisions belonging to the Fu Zuoyi system and 25 divisions belonging to the Chiang Kai-shek system. Prior to this, Chiang Kai-shek had proposed that Fu lead his troops to retreat south and strengthen the Yangtze River defense line. Fu Zuoyi was wary of Chiang Kai-shek's rejection of dissidents and was unwilling to retreat south. At this time, Fu Zuoyi's troops were shocked by the victory of the People's Liberation Army in the northeast and had become frightened, but it was estimated that the Northeast Field Army would need to have a rest time of three months to half a year after the Liaoshen Campaign, and it would not be able to enter the customs to fight until the spring of the following year. In accordance with the principle of temporarily guarding Pingjin, maintaining Haikou, expanding strength, and observing the changes of the times, Fu Zuoyi constantly shrank his troops, successively abandoned Chengde, Baoding, Shanhaiguan, Qinhuangdao, and other places, and prepared to flee south or west to Suiyuan by sea at any time. If Fu Zuoyi's clique withdraws, although the PLA will be able to achieve peace without a fight, the KMT's defense line on the Yangtze River will be strengthened or more combat strength will be retained, which will be unfavorable for future operations. Therefore, stabilizing the enemy forces in North China and preventing them from making a quick decision to flee south or westward has become the key to whether or not we can annihilate the enemy on the spot. Therefore, in accordance with the arrangements of the central authorities, the main force of the Northeast Field Army ended its rest and recuperation ahead of schedule shortly after the end of the Liaoshen Campaign, and took a shortcut to covertly swing its troops into the pass. The Northeast Field Army, together with the Second and Third Corps of the China Military Region, moved at great speed and first used the method of encircling but not attacking or isolating but not encircling to complete the strategic encirclement and campaign division of the enemy in Beiping, Tianjin, and Zhangjiakou, thus cutting off the passage for them to flee south and west! So now the Northeast Field Army is about to secretly enter the customs, and it is necessary to retain troops in the Northeast to ensure the completion and safety of land reform, so you can only send your troops to the west! ”
"Go west to Inner Mongolia, who will you fight? Those Inner Mongolia headmen toast? Bangs asked a little strangely. Don't underestimate those Tusi heads, they have millions of Mongolian cavalry in their hands, if they make trouble, it will be a very troublesome matter, so you have to go to Mongolia to quickly cut through the mess, and wipe out all the main forces of the autonomous government, although we also want to liberate peacefully, but the pressure of force must also be on the same side! The No. 1 commander said, "Your Eighth Division is well equipped, has many cars, and moves fast, which is very conducive to your fighting on the grasslands of Inner Mongolia!" "Okay, I accept this task and promise to destroy the military power of this autonomous government within a month!" Bangs immediately said! "Don't take it lightly, I will send a group of political work cadres to walk with you, if you can be peaceful, if you can't, you will fight, and the big stick and candy will be on together!" Number One said. "Please send a comrade who is very familiar with political work and ethnic policy, because I can only fight wars, and I need help in other areas!" Bangs thought for a moment and said. "I know this, I will send you a reliable comrade to go with you!" Chief One said, "You go back now and get ready!" ”
"Master, you're back!" With the ghost cry of the ghost cannon, the entire Eighth Division boiled, and their division seat returned! "Master, it's great that you're back! We're scared to death! "Fat Wu comes over for a bear hug!" Have you accomplished your mission? Bangs asked, making out with his brothers. Just those bandits, how can we drink a pot, all of them were killed, there were still some prisoners, Liu Xiaoshan heard that you were injured, and he was all sudden! Ghost Cannon said. Am I not worried about the division commander? How can you stand it if you don't kill a few people and get angry? Besides, I haven't killed them all, aren't there still dozens of sick numbers? "Liu Xiaoshan has a heartbeat!" Okay, okay, kill it, kill it, those bandits do all kinds of evil, and it can be regarded as eliminating harm for the people! Now we have a new mission, the chief has asked us to go to Inner Mongolia! Bangs said. Inner Mongolia? "Ghost Cannon and the others were stunned!" The higher authorities will also send a group of political work cadres to go with us, and in addition to this, there is also a cadre who is familiar with the situation! Liu Hai grabbed Liu Xiaoshan, "You are responsible for welcoming this group of cadres and that cadre comrade!" "Understood!" Liu Xiaoshan replied immediately!
"All on guard, everyone else can enter, if you kid dare to enter Lao Tzu's camp, Lao Tzu will beat you into a sieve!" Liu Xiaoshan, who was in charge of greeting, pointed at the sent cadre with * and shouted! "Divisional commander! Oh no, Liu Xiaoshan wants to beat that cadre! The ghost cannon hurriedly ran over and said to Bangs. What's going on? Liu Hai, who was looking at the map, was taken aback and hurriedly ran to the camp gate! After arriving at the camp gate, he looked at the cadre who had just arrived, and said in surprise, "How could it be you?" “
