"What do you think, Number One?" Number Two handed over Bangs' report. "Well, this fact is not very easy to do, now that the Huaihai Battle has begun, the two sides have concentrated more than 1.4 million troops, this is a strategic decisive battle, at this juncture, it is a bit unreasonable for an elite division like Liu Hai not to participate in the war!" Chief No. 1 said with a headache. "I can't say it, now several column commanders know about Liu Hai's division, but I don't know much about the specific situation, but the covetousness is self-evident, and they all want it!" Chief Two said. "There is no door for this matter, the Liu Hai Division belongs to our Northeast Field Army, no one wants it, although the person is in East China Boss Chen, but the establishment is still the unit of my Northeast Field Army, besides, except for us, everyone can supply those large-caliber heavy artillery of Liu Hai!" The No. 1 leader threw the cigarette butt away, "That's it, please Liu Hai quickly return to the building, there is another task!" "Report! The Central Committee called and ordered our Fourth Independent Division to temporarily be under the command of the East China Field Army and prepare to participate in the Huaihai Campaign! "A staff officer came in and reported!

The No. 1 chief has always been fearless, but he is absolutely in awe of Chairman Mao, once made a mistake, Chairman Mao ordered him to be confined for two days, and sang the guerrilla song a hundred times, he has been the commander of the Northeast Field Army, the director of the Northeast Bureau, and the leader of the Northeast, he actually carried it out without hesitation, and did not discount at all! Although the Central Committee ordered the Central Committee to participate in the war, the No. 1 Chief still decided to send another telegram to the Central Committee to explain the situation! But after careful consideration, it was sent out in the name of the second chief of the Northeast! When the telegram was sent, it landed on the desk of the Chairman of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China*. Originally, the big war was imminent, and there was no time to deal with such a trivial matter, but because it was the second chief of the Northeast called. So I put it on. The chairman, who had read the approval documents one by one, saw this telegram, frowned for a moment, and then called his secretary and asked him to send a special commissioner surnamed Wei to the East China Field Army sent by the central government to find out the situation in detail, the purpose was very simple, that is, the chairman was worried that the No. 1 chief would be reluctant to fight such a tough battle with his precious troops, and if that was the case, then let him sing the guerrilla song a hundred times! But the chairman didn't expect that such a small decision would set off a storm below.

"Mr. Chen, Comrade Wei, the commissioner of the Central Committee, has arrived!" A guard reported. "Please!" Mr. Chen said immediately. "Mr. Chen, the central commissioner Wei Xin is here to report!" Wei Xin saluted. "Comrade Wei is polite, you are a member of the Central Committee, and I am really afraid of this local official!" Mr. Chen said. "Mr. Chen, don't scare me, I'm just a junior on the road to the revolution, Mr. Chen, you are the pioneer of the revolution!" Wei Xin hurriedly said. "Okay, okay, let's get down to business, what's the matter with the central government calling you?" Mr. Chen waved his hand and said. "To be honest, I originally came out on other missions, and I came here after receiving an order because of the matter of Liu Hai, the commander of the Fourth Independent Division!" Wei Xin said. "Is it because he doesn't want to participate in the Huaihai Campaign?" Mr. Chen said. "Yes! The Fourth Independent Division is a heavy firepower division with strong combat effectiveness, and his participation in the Huaihai Campaign will speed up the progress of the campaign. Wei Xin said. This matter is not complicated, mainly because the generals of the Kuomintang this time are all former acquaintances, bosses, and even relatives of the Fourth Independent Division, in view of these reasons, they are reluctant to participate in the war, when people came over, Mr. Lin promised not to participate in the civil war, and now Liu Hai is unwilling to participate in the Huaihai Campaign, and Mr. Lin of the Northeast Bureau also nodded! Mr. Chen said. Hehe, in fact, the central government also hopes that he can participate in this strategic decisive battle, can I meet this division commander Liu? Wei Xin said. Yes, he is Mr. Lin's person, and he is under my jurisdiction for the time being, but I want to remind you that we communists are the ones who say what we say, and we can't be untrustworthy if we promise other people's things! Mr. Chen said. This is natural, I just want to get things straight, go back and report it! ”

"Commander Liu, hello, I'm Wei Xin, the special commissioner of the Central Committee, I'm here to find out some information about you, can you tell me about your refusal to participate in the Huaihai Campaign?" Wei Xin said bluntly, after all, the other party was just a small division commander. "Hello, Commissioner Wei! I have already reported to Mr. Lin about this matter, this time the commander-in-chief of the Kuomintang, the group commander, and me and my subordinates have a deep relationship, even flesh and blood, we don't want to kill our former friends and relatives, so we avoid the war! Bangs said neither humbly nor arrogantly. Liu Hai, your troops are one of the few heavy firepower divisions in our PLA, and most of the troops facing this time are the Kuomintang's ace divisions, if your troops participate in the battle, you can increase your chances of victory! Wei Xin said, "Besides, is this what you mean, or what Mr. Lin means?" "I'm sorry Commissioner Wei, I don't know what happened in the middle, but I can tell you very accurately, this is what I and my subordinates meant, and it has nothing to do with Mr. Lin, besides, not participating in the civil war was also what Mr. Lin agreed when I surrendered!" Bangs said. "Division Commander Liu, I hope that you, as a Communist Party member and a general of the People's Liberation Army, put the interests of the country and the nation first, and do not have private narrow-mindedness, let alone ignore the supreme interests of the party in order to protect your own small circle!" Wei Xin said. "Commissioner Wei, I don't have anything to say, the reason is what I just said, if you don't believe me, I can't do it, but our independent fourth division will not participate in the Huaihai Campaign!" Bangs said.

"Commissioner Wei, in fact, I have a suggestion, you can reply to the central government, if you are worried about the Northeast Bureau to protect the calves, you can consider assigning the independent fourth division to my Huaye, I promise to let him participate in this battle, you see if it will work!" Mr. Chen said to Commissioner Wei. "Mr. Chen, if we can really let the Independent Fourth Division participate in the war, it will be of great help to us, at least we will not be helpless in dealing with the Kuomintang's tanks and artillery, we should do our best to let him participate in the war!" Wei Xin said. "In this way, I will report to the Central Committee and request that the Fourth Independent Division be assigned to my Huaye, you send a telegram to Mr. Lin to find out his tone, as long as Liu Hai is assigned to my Huaye, I have a way to let him participate in the war, do you think it's okay?" Mr. Chen said. "It seems that this bangs are very sought-after, even Mr. Chen is going to dig into the corner! It is no wonder that a small division commander dares to put forward such a request to avoid war, and there is no such precedent in the history of our party and our army! Wei Xin said. Oops, this bangs are indeed not simple, the last fiasco was because I did not follow Liu Hai's advice and seriously underestimated the combat effectiveness of the elite main force of the Kuomintang, with him and his independent fourth division, our Huaye's combat effectiveness will be greatly improved, as the commander of Huaye, it is understandable to think so! Mr. Chen said. Hahaha, what Mr. Chen said is very right, I just want Liu Hai to participate in this battle, since Mr. Chen is so confident, then let's try it! Wei Xin said.

"This matter is still like a thing, Chen Lao always wants to dig into my corner! But it's no wonder that talents like Liu Hai are sought-after goods wherever they go, and it's normal for Mr. Chen to want to, but I can't let go, No. 2, think of a way, is there a way to not only keep Liu Hai from participating in this battle, but also get Liu Hai back! Chief One asked. Yes, that is to make things bigger, the Huaihai Campaign is imminent, the central government will not affect the preparation and conduct of the campaign because of this one division, the central government will naturally come forward to die down, in fact, such a big battle, the decisive battle of millions of people on both sides, whether this one and a half divisions have little impact, in my opinion, this Wei special commissioner also wants to participate in the war through hard work, and the central government will give himself some credit, as for what to do, I suggest that you go to the central government, which is to protest against Huaye's behavior of digging the foot of the wall,, And strongly demanded to be transferred back to the 4th Independent Division! Number Two said. Hehe, it's worthy of being No. 2, and there is a way! ”

Soon, the No. 1 leader sent a telegram to the Party Central Committee, strongly protesting against Huaye's behavior of digging into his own corners, and on the grounds of fatigue of the long-term combat troops, he asked to be transferred back to the northeast for training and replenishment. Almost at the same time, Huaye's telegram also sent up, demanding that the Fourth Independent Division be placed under his command and participate in the Huaihai Campaign! Looking at the telegram on the table, the chairman with great wisdom naturally saw through the intentions of Huaye and the Northeast Field Army Department at a glance, and after some consideration, the chairman believed that in this Huaihai Campaign, many of them were field armies in the Northeast, and the artillery and heavy firearms they needed needed were all provided by the industrial zone in the Northeast, and there must be no mistakes at this time! Thinking of this, the chairman drafted a telegram approving the immediate return of the 4th Independent Division to the Northeast for replenishment and rest! Looking at such an order, the No. 1 leader was very happy, and immediately passed the order to Liu Hai, who was also very excited after learning the news that he did not have to participate in this decisive battle.

But the second order soon came down, that is, for the victory of the battle, Liu Hai was ordered to temporarily strengthen the heavy artillery equipment of the 4th Independent Division to Huaye, so as to increase Huaye's firepower and ensure the victory of the battle! For such a result, the No. 1 leader also smiled bitterly, the chairman not only gave himself face, but also helped Mr. Chen, anyway, the most valuable thing in the independent fourth division is the bangs, borrow those cannons! Looking at the second order in his hand, Liu Hai finally understood the chairman's painstaking efforts, and immediately decided to send his two heavy artillery regiments to participate in the battle with Huaye, and he took the independent brigade to rest on the spot!
