Ye Fei, who had the courage to swear to be ashamed, was ordered to stop the preparations for the attack, and the whole corps was on standby, in addition, the Eighth Division directly under the Northeast Bureau, that is, Liu Hai's artillery division, should also be evacuated, go south to Leizhou, Guangzhou, and join up with the Deng Hua Department of the 15th Corps of the Fourth Field Army, ready to carry out another important task, which can be carried out, and there must be no mistake! As soon as such an order came, Ye Fei was indignant, and finally after calling and sending a telegram to protest to no avail, and being scolded by stinking, Ye Fei accepted his fate!

"Division Commander Zhao, there is a call from above asking you to go to Guangzhou to participate in an important battle, you should immediately start and go to Leizhou to meet the 15th Corps of Siye!" Commander Ye Fei said listlessly to Liu Hai. "Go to Leizhou, don't you fight Kinmen?" Liu Hai asked in surprise. "Don't fight, I don't know the specific reason, you go back and pack up, get ready to go, the special train has been arranged, and the day after tomorrow will be on the road! Before that, you need to go back to Shanghai, Commander Chen Yi wants you to go! "What Commander Ye Fei said is infinitely melancholy!" All right! Bangs also sighed: "I obey orders!" ”。

Liu Hai returned to the station, arranged the troops, and then returned to Shanghai, and under the strong request of the ghost artillery, Liu Hai took him to Shanghai by car. After arriving in Shanghai, Liu Hai went straight to the city government and was ordered to see Mr. Chen, but the ghost cannon asked for leave to go out, Liu Hai probably guessed what this kid was going to do, so he granted him leave, but told him that he must return to the team before eight o'clock the next morning! The ghost cannon happily ran away, and Liu Hai himself drove to the Shanghai Municipal Government.

"Master Liu, you are here, do you know why I want you to come?" Mr. Chen asked with a smile. "I don't know, I've been ordered to go south to Leizhou to complete an important battle, and the specific situation is not clear!" Bangs said. "Hehe, this time you go to Leizhou to return to Siye, I'm afraid I won't have a chance to return to my command in the future, I want you to give me the last effort, you come and see!" Mr. Chen brought the bangs to the map of Shanghai. "You see, we are planning to capture the Zhoushan Islands, and I want to ask you for your opinion on the use of artillery!" "Mr. Chen, you think too highly of me, the Zhouzhoushan Islands are naval battles and landing battles, I am not an expert in this area, the last sneak attack was successful, it can be said that it is a fluke of luck, and now I have captured the Zhoushan Islands, I have no battle preparation, and I have no actual combat experience, how can I talk nonsense?" Bangs said.

"Hehe, your Senior Commander Liu is too modest, your ability and opinions can completely determine the success or failure of the battle, so let it go!" Mr. Chen patted Bang Hai's shoulder! "Well, my opinion is that when attacking the Zhoushan Islands, the artillery can use large-caliber mortars, and the guns can be placed on ships for landing fire support, and large-caliber mortars can be equipped with infantry guns if the firepower is insufficient, these are not the point!" Liu Hai sighed and said, "The last battle of Kinmen suffered heavy losses, and the biggest problem is that the tools for crossing the sea, especially the mastery of the tides, must be meticulous, after the first batch of landing troops go ashore, the second batch of landing troops must land immediately after establishing a beachhead!" There should be a lot of large barges and merchant ships in Shanghai, if possible, heavy artillery can be loaded onto the ship and used to attack deep targets and enemy ships at sea, as long as there is enough firepower, compact attack batch, the small Zhoushan Islands will inevitably fall into my hands! ”

"I'll give your opinion to the General Staff to study, but the last Battle of Kinmen really taught a profound lesson! Nearly 10,000 officers and soldiers have lost all their money, which is rare in the history of our PLA! "Speaking of the Battle of Kinmen, Mr. Chen is also embarrassed!" But why don't we attack Kinmen again? With the lessons of the last time, we will definitely be able to regroup and take Kinmen! Bangs said. Well, is he General Ye Fei scolding his mother? Chen Yi asked. Not to mention scolding his mother, the whole person is listless, although we haven't cooperated for a few days, but I haven't seen him like this! Bangs said. Hehe, he Ye Fei doesn't know about this matter, but I know a little bit! Mr. Chen said.

Mr. Chen told Liu Hai that this matter is very big, and it is necessary to start with the strategic location of Kinmen Island. Kinmen Island is very close to the mainland, but there is still some distance from Taiwan, and the failure of the attack on Kinmen has given a great warning to the central authorities. Chairman Mao pointed out that Kinmen Island is the link between Taiwan and the mainland, once we capture Kinmen, then we will cut off the connection between Taiwan and the mainland geographically, so things will become complicated, Chiang Kai-shek is likely to become a country in the first place, and we have gone through the battle of Kinmen, and found the difficulty of crossing the sea, now although we have strong troops, but the navy and air force are almost blank! On the other hand, looking at Taiwan, although the strength of the army cannot be compared with ours, but the superiority of the sea and air cannot be ignored, plus there is still the possibility of military intervention by the United States, the difficulty of liberating Taiwan is not imaginable, in view of these problems, Chairman Mao decided to temporarily ease the release of Kinmen, and retain Kinmen Island, the link between Taiwan and the mainland!

Coincidentally, in fact, at this time, not only Chairman Mao thought so, but also Taiwan and the Americans also had this idea. When Ye Fei and others failed in attacking Kinmen, the Americans sent a commissioner to Taiwan to meet Chiang Kai-shek, starting from the two aspects of military and geographical advantages, and told in simple terms the fact that Kinmen Island could not be defended at all, hoping that Chiang Kai-shek could abandon Kinmen and Matsu and concentrate his forces to defend the island of Taiwan. The Americans came to participate in the Battle of Kinmen at this time, and Chiang Kai-shek, as a political veteran, naturally understood in his heart what the Americans were thinking, and just said that he would see the results of the Battle of Kinmen before making a decision, and the Americans said that they would not be able to hold the gate no matter what, and Chiang Kai-shek actually did not think that Kinmen Island could be defended, but was just a prevarication!

As a result, under the command of Hu Lian, Kinmen Island miraculously held Kinmen Island, and also annihilated nearly 10,000 PLA troops who had come ashore. When the battle report of Kinmen was summarized, Chiang Kai-shek smiled happily and ordered the battle of Kinmen to be widely publicized, claiming that it was a great victory for Gu Ningtou, and praised the meritorious soldiers, and he was also determined to invest manpower and material resources to build Kinmen Island into a base for counterattacking the mainland! Basically, Hu Lian's victory this time was not only a slap in the face to the mainland, but also turned his head and slapped the Americans hard!

Comrade the US Commissioner, who was powerless to do anything about the facts that had already happened, turned around and tried to save the country by bribing important officials inside the island of Taiwan, in an attempt to persuade Chiang Kai-shek through these people and ask Chiang Kai-shek to promise to abandon Kinmen and establish a new government of the Republic of China in Taiwan! Through the efforts of the Americans, they finally bought off some officials to speak to the veterans. As a result, he was even more speechless, Chiang Kai-shek carried out a bloody crackdown on these officials who had been bribed by the Americans in the name of plotting misdeeds, and after a bloody storm, no one in Taiwan dared to say anything about this matter again! On the matter of Kinmen Island, Chiang Kai-shek and Chairman Mao, the two old enemies, reached an astonishing agreement without any connection, which can be said to be another cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party! In this case, the Americans had to give up on persuading Chiang Kai-shek to give up the Golden Horse!

Although the political differences between the parties made it impossible for the Kuomintang to give up Taiwan, only one China's opinion was reached between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, and even if Taiwan was not recovered under the circumstances at that time, it was precisely because of the reservation of the two islands of Kinmen and Matsu that Taiwan was still a part of China, and although there was no connection, although the political system was different, it was still a part of China!

"I see!" After listening to Mr. Chen's statement, Liu Hai felt a lot of emotions in his heart, and in addition to admiring Chairman Mao's foresight, he also felt very happy, if he captured Kinmen, then it is very likely that Taiwan will be separated from China! Under the circumstance that the Chinese People's Liberation Army is temporarily incapable of liberating Taiwan, if it drags on for a long time, it is very likely to create a fait accompli, then even if it captures Kinmen, it is very likely to become a sinner of history and the nation!

"Senior Commander Liu, I still have a copy of the material for you, which I found from the stronghold of a Kuomintang spy!" Mr. Chen said, "Let me tell you, your mission to go south to Leizhou this time is to cooperate with the 15th Corps to capture Hainan Island, this material shows in detail the distribution and plan of the Kuomintang spies in Leizhou, you transfer it to Deng Hua, let him remove these obstacles to the liberation of Hainan, otherwise it is very likely to affect the plan to liberate Hainan!" "Liberate Hainan Island?" Bangs took this material, and it was marked top secret! "Hainan Island is not as good as Kinmen, I had the pleasure of going once, Hainan Island, Hainan Island, also known as Qiongya, is the second largest island in China, separated by the Qiongzhou Strait in the north, 11 to 27 nautical miles wide, and the Leizhou Peninsula is opposite. The Qiongya Column, led by the Qiongya Party Organization headed by Feng Baiju, persisted in the struggle on the island for 23 years and established a base area centered on Wuzhishan, and by the end of 1949, the Qiongya Column had grown to 25,000 people. With their cooperation, you will definitely be able to liberate the island of Taiwan in one go, I, Chen Yi, wish you success, and when you return victorious, I will set a table of celebration wine in Shanghai for you! “

"Thank you Commander-in-Chief Chen for your kindness, I will definitely live up to your hopes, and I will definitely come to repay you for your merits and reward!" Bangs said happily.
