exchange

"I understand, Master Liu, you did not give up your beliefs, but continued your beliefs by changing the political party, I have to say that you are very different, and it also shows your persistence in your beliefs from the side, to be honest, when you first came in, I regarded you as a poor worm who abandoned your beliefs, but now I understand, you are still worthy of respect!" David said happily. "Thank you for the affirmation, are we still friends?" Bangs asked. "Of course, I will follow your advice and agree to exchange it back, and I will tell everyone about you because you have a new interpretation of the faith!" David said. "No, no, dear David, this is the second thing I want to say to you, and that is to ask you to remain silent about my presence over here!" Bangs said. "Silence? Why? Don't the national army know about you yet? David asked. The Nationalist Government thinks I've been killed, you also know that I'm a famous artillery god in the National Army, and the Nationalist Government has given me a lot of honors, I don't want them to know that I'm here, and at the same time I didn't fight against the Nationalist Army, this time it was Shen Youfa who went too far, so I was transferred to destroy it, of course, the biggest reason is that Shen Youfa's artillery commander is Colonel David! "I see, you cherish your honor!" David said. "How can you not cherish it? Those honors were earned back by the fact that we shed a lot of blood and died a lot of brothers in the eight years of resistance, and I don't want to be discredited because of my personal adherence to the faith, and if so, I'd rather it disappear forever! Bangs said. I understand! Division Commander Liu, through today's conversation, I understand that you are a real soldier, and I hope we will never meet on the battlefield again! David said. I don't want to, David! After the bangs were finished, he and David shook hands tightly!

David finally agreed to go back, Liu Hai truthfully reported David's situation, Mr. Chen was very happy and agreed to exchange David back, but at this time there was a change. Because the arrested comrades in Baozi had important information, the Kuomintang was eager to get the information they needed from them, and they interrogated them every day, and even went to heavy punishment, and one comrade was beaten to death inside because of his physical injuries. When this news came, Mr. Chen was very angry and immediately informed the Kuomintang that if the safety of our party comrades could not be guaranteed at that time, then we could not guarantee the safety of David either, and even considered shooting Chen Cheng's nephew first! The Kuomintang immediately reported back the news, saying that the death of that comrade was an accident, and suggested that the exchange should be carried out immediately, and the exchange place should be set in Songjiang Town in northern Jiangsu!

The change in the attitude of the Kuomintang was mainly due to two reasons: first, the underground party in the enemy-occupied areas was active and rescued by various means, and second, the capture of David attracted the attention of the US side in China. After David was captured, the US ambassador to China urgently met with Kuomintang President Chiang Kai-shek, and in the name of the US government, demanded that Chiang Kai-shek rescue him no matter how much it cost, because according to the procedure, David had already been promoted to brigadier general, and the Americans were originally unwilling to bear the hat of interfering in China's internal affairs. In addition, everyone knows that the Communist Party of China has been like a prairie fire, and his strategic backing is the big hairy bear in the north of the Asian continent, if an American brigadier general is captured on the battlefield of the civil war, it is definitely evidence of the large-scale intervention of the United States in China's civil war, if it angers the hairy bear, then the impact will be great, so the attitude of the Americans towards David is to save if you can, and kill if you can't save it! But it's better to save it back! In this case, the treatment of Bao Zi and others was much better all of a sudden, and the most important thing was that Bao Zi and others also knew that they were about to be exchanged back, and they bit it to death, not to mention, in desperation, the Kuomintang could only do this!

The exchange ceremony was held as scheduled, Liu Hai did not go to David, but gave him a military medal as a commemorative before leaving, and sincerely hoped not to meet on the battlefield in the future, David also said that after returning to China, he would apply for transfer back to China, no longer participate in the Chinese civil war, after the two people sympathized with each other, David got in the car and rushed to the exchange place. After the exchange ceremony, David returned to Nanjing, and kept his promise not to participate in China's civil war, and applied for a transfer back to China! Soon David's application was approved! But the unexplained fate is always so magical, and David and Liu, who are determined not to meet on the battlefield again, finally meet on the Korean battlefield! In the end, Liu Hai saw David frozen into ice lumps in the icy eastern plateau of North Korea!

After David returned from the exchange, the Kuomintang asked for another exchange of Shen Youfa, and was willing to exchange several other comrades for exchange! After consideration, Mr. Chen agreed to the Kuomintang's request and put forward some conditions accordingly, but this time the Kuomintang was not so happy and suggested a secret exchange, and the comrades who exchanged were also important leaders of the enemy-occupied areas who had been arrested! In view of the importance of the exchange, Mr. Chen also agreed to the proposal of a secret exchange after asking for instructions, but the strange thing is that the several important leaders who were used to exchange Shen Youfa were urgently shot a few days before the exchange! Mr. Chen, who felt cheated, was angry and wanted to kill Shen Youfa, but he was stopped by bangs! Because Liu Hai understands the operation of some things within the Kuomintang better than Mr. Chen, and tells Mr. Chen not to be impatient, those comrades must still be alive!

As Liu Hai expected, two days later, the Kuomintang once again secretly contacted the People's Liberation Army to ask for a replacement, and after the explanation of the visitor, it was similar to what Liu Hai said, to put it bluntly, it was to steal the beams and change the pillars, and hide these people on the grounds of shooting, and use them in exchange! In fact, not only did the Central Commander not know about this matter, but the military commander also didn't know about it, it was Chen Cheng himself who ordered it! Due to the complexity of the situation, Shen Youfa's exchange method is very special, that is, he escapes by himself! Under the arrangement of the next intention, Shen Youfa successfully escaped from the prisoner of war camp, and after he escaped, those comrades also successfully returned to the People's Liberation Army! It stands to reason that the matter should be over here, but Shen Youfa is worthy of being the second-generation ancestor who has had too many good days, and not only did he not stop after going back, but he also continued to serve as the commander of a division. After Shen Youfa became the division commander, he used his own lack of artillery as an excuse to snatch the supplementary artillery and ammunition of the Kuomintang Army's He Jifeng Division for his own use. Seeing his artillery being snatched away, He Jifeng was helpless, it was because of this incident that another Kuomintang general who was already a communist party, Zhang Kexia, succeeded in plotting a rebellion, and the two finally carried out a battlefield uprising at the critical moment of the Huaihai Campaign, sending the 600,000 Kuomintang elites of the entire Huaihai Campaign to hell!

Liu Hai returned to Shandong with his troops and rested again, at this time Liu Xiaoshan also returned with his troops, and Liu Hai's artillery division was once again full! But the change in the situation surprised everyone, and it also put bangs in a dilemma again! The Kuomintang held a military review conference in Nanjing, and put forward the strategy of seeking stability in the northeast, consolidation in the north, blocking the expansion of bandits in the northwest, and intensifying the offensive and suppression in east and central China. Beginning in the second half of the year, the Nationalist Army began to implement key defenses, heavily defended strategic points, and organized and trained powerful mobile corps, with the result that the communist army could not eat the strategic points and chew on the reinforcements. A month later, the CCP convened a Politburo meeting in Xibaipo, which set the task of "transitioning from guerrilla warfare to regular warfare, building an army of 5 million, annihilating 500 enemy brigades, and fundamentally defeating the Kuomintang opposition in about five years." The capture of Jinan in the Battle of Jinan was the first time that the CCP conquered a heavily fortified city of the National Army, and also announced the failure of the key defense plan. During the campaign, although Chiang Kai-shek ordered the Kuomintang Huang Baitao, Qiu Qingquan, and Li Mi corps assembled in the Xuzhou area to go north to relieve the siege, more than 170,000 people from the three corps, which were taken by the powerful blocking force of the East China Field Army of the Chinese Communist Party, lingered in front of the positions of the Huaye blocking and reinforcement troops until the city of Jinan was broken, and the Huang and Li corps had not yet been assembled. The Xinhua News Agency broadcast the results of the Jinan Campaign: more than 20,000 Kuomintang troops were killed and wounded, 60,000 people under Wang Yaowu were captured, including 23 generals, more than 20,000 people revolted on the battlefield, and countless heavy ammunition were captured. The Associated Press commented: From now on, the Communist Party will go wherever it wants, and it will attack wherever it wants, and there will be nothing to stop it.

Su Yu, acting commander and acting political commissar of the East China Field Army, proposed to the Central Military Commission of the Communist Party of China that he hoped to take advantage of the victory to attack the Huaiyin, Huai'an, Baoying, Gaoyou Campaign, and the Haizhou Nationalist Army's campaign, called the Huaihai Campaign, with the main goal of annihilating Huang Baitao's 7th Corps and Li Yannian's 9th Appeasement Zone, which were far away from Xuzhou, and preparing for the capture of Xuzhou. This plan conformed to the CCP's guiding ideology of "annihilating the enemy north of the Yangtze River" and was immediately approved. This is Su Yu's original plan to carry out a small-scale Huaihai Campaign, and the CCP occupies the initiative in the decisive battle. Nakano occupied Zhengzhou at a very small cost, and after Kaifeng, it had a significant impact on the deployment of the campaign, and at the same time, Liu Bocheng and Li Da and others contained Zhang Gan's 3rd Corps and Huang Wei's 12th Corps, delaying the eastward transfer of the Chinese army to the Xuzhou battlefield. At this time, the originally conceived Huaihai Campaign had developed into a joint campaign of the two major field armies in East China and the Central Plains, and the small Huaihai had developed into the Great Huaihai.

In the face of such a decisive battle between the main forces of the two parties, it is natural to do his best, but after Liu Hai learned that the commander of the national army was Liu Zhi and the deputy commander was Du Yuming, he immediately sent a telegram to Lin Biao, the No. 1 leader in the northeast, asking the independent fourth division not to participate in the Huaihai Campaign, because Liu Xiaoshan was Liu Zhi's own nephew, and Du Yuming was his old commander. The No. 1 commander knew the importance of the Huaihai Campaign, and did not let an elite artillery division like Liu Hai participate in the battle, and he was a little undecided for a while, and finally decided to consult the central government, which set off a lot of turmoil!
