readx;?? Yang Wengzi didn't think about putting this group of Huns into the city, and then when the main force of the Huns came to seize the city, he concentrated his forces to kill and wound a large number of Huns in one fell swoop. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

But as a veteran of the battlefield, Yang Wengzi quickly gave up this very risky approach. First, it is still unknown how much such a choice can play a hidden role for the Huns who entered the city in camouflaged grain transport. Second, and the most important point, that is, Yang Wengzi did not know how many troops the Huns had.

Yunzhong City was a military town north of the Great Wall, and Yang Wengzi knew that Zhang Jiashi gave him the right to decide for himself, that is, whether to abandon Yunzhong City and let the main force of Yunzhong County retreat to the south of the Great Wall.

But Yang Wengzi was unwilling to give up this fortified city that could seriously threaten the Huns' march road, if the city was broken, he would also admit it, but although Yang Wengzi could not guarantee that Yunzhong City could not be held, but he himself could guarantee one point, that is, to achieve the fundamental principle that people are in the city and people are lost in the city.

Zhang Jiashi's operational thinking is very different from that of a veteran like Yang Wengzi, and as far as Zhang Jiashi is concerned, unless it is necessary, he will try his best to achieve such a combat concept as "saving people and losing land, and people and land will survive; and if land is lost, people and land will be lost."

This situation is mainly related to Zhang Jiashi's origin from later generations.

The ostensible meaning of this sentence is as follows: Keeping the living force, regardless of the gains and losses of one city or one pool, then when the time is better in the future, we can take back what we have lost;

But this sentence is not absolute.

Because this sentence does not apply to some real strategic points, and the person who said it also made some quite radical decisions in the war at that time.

For example, the Battle of Siping.

......

From March 1946 to March 1948, the Kuomintang and the Communist Party successively mobilized a large number of troops and launched four major battles in Siping: the first was the Siping Liberation War, the second was the Siping Defense Battle, the third was the Siping Offensive Battle, and the fourth was the Siping Campaign. In these battles, the two sides invested a total of 400,000 troops, fought for a total of 52 days, more than 50,000 Kuomintang troops were annihilated, and more than 30,000 people were sacrificed by the Democratic Alliance Army.

The "four wars and four draws" can be said to be the embodiment of a bloody struggle for a strategic place.

Siping Street is located in the central plain of Northeast China, which is the intersection of Zhongchang, Sitao and Simei railways, and is one of the important strategic hubs in Northeast China. The New 1st Army and the 71st Army of the Kuomintang Army, which advanced north along the Zhongchang Road from Shenyang, occupied Kaiyuan and Faku, and continued to attack in the direction of Siping in early April.

By mid-April, the Kuomintang army attacking North Manchuria had occupied Tieling, Changtu, Faku and other places. The Democratic Alliance Army carried out a movement defense south of Siping and blocked the attack one after another. Annihilated more than 2,000 people of the New 1st Army. On April 16, the Democratic Alliance Army concentrated the 1st Division, the 7th Column, and the 8th Brigade of the 3rd Division of the New Fourth Army to annihilate most of the 87th Division of the 71st Army of the Kuomintang Army in the Dawa and Jinshanbao areas southwest of Siping with superior forces. On the 17th, the newly formed 1st Army advanced to the east and south of Siping, forming an arc-shaped encirclement of Siping Street. At the same time, in the defense of Benxi, the South Manchurian Democratic Alliance Army twice repelled the enemy's attacks and annihilated more than 4,000 enemies. In mid-to-late April, the Democratic Alliance Army liberated the cities of Chang, Kazakhstan, and Qi as planned, and annihilated more than 26,000 armed bandits.

At this time, the negotiations with the Kuomintang on the Northeast issue had reached a critical stage where it was possible to reach an agreement quickly. However, in order to put itself in a more advantageous position, the Kuomintang still tried to seize Siping, Changchun, Jilin, and many more places. The Party Central Committee instructed the Northeast Democratic Alliance Army to hold on to Siping and annihilate a large number of enemy troops in the Siping area to facilitate negotiations.

In order to resolutely hold Siping, the Northeast Democratic Alliance Army decided to form the Siping Garrison Headquarters with the 1st Security Brigade, with Ma Renxing, commander of the 1st Security Brigade, under the unified command of the brigade and the 56th Regiment of the 7th Column with a total of 6,000 people to defend Siping, with the 1st Regiment of the 1st Security Brigade guarding the west of the railway, and the 56th Regiment of the 7th Column guarding the east of the railway; concentrating the main forces in the area west and north of Siping, waiting for the opportunity to annihilate the enemy; and successively ordered the 7th Division and the 359th Brigade of Shandong to move south, and ordered the 7th and 7th Columns of the 3rd Column in South Manchuria. The 8th Brigade and the 3rd Security Brigade went north to participate in the Battle of Siping.

On April 18, 1946, under the cover of aircraft and artillery fire, the new 30th Division of the New 1st Army attacked Siping from the south and the new 38th Division from the west and northwest, which lasted for 3 days. The 1st Brigade and the 7th Column of the Security Guards of the Democratic Alliance Army relied on the fortifications to resist stubbornly, and organized several counterattacks, inflicting heavy casualties on the Kuomintang army and making little progress.

At this time, the Kuomintang 71st Army advanced to Bamiancheng and Sipingjian and made a detour to the right side of the position of the Democratic Alliance Army, and at the same time, the first part of the New 1st Army was also deployed southeast of Siping. In order to strengthen the defense of the left and right flanks of Siping, the Democratic Alliance Army extended the defense of the 1st and 2nd Divisions and the 8th and 10th Brigades of the 3rd Division to the northwest of Siping; the 7th Brigade of the 3rd Division moved from Sandao Linzi in the north of the city to the area of Hafu and Huoshiling east of Siping to strengthen the defense of the 7th Column; and Yang Guofu of the 7th Division took over the Beishan position of the 7th Brigade's Sandaolinzi.

At this point, the Democratic Alliance Army formed a defensive line that stretched for more than 100 miles from east to west, with Siping as the center, and deployed six divisions of mobile troops. In this way, although the Democratic Alliance Army thwarted the Kuomintang Army's attempt to make a detour to Siping, the Democratic Alliance Army also had no mobile forces to carry out a powerful counterattack. Relying on the improvised civil fortifications and the use of the Japanese miscellaneous light weapons that had been collected, the defending troops of the Democratic Alliance Army fought against the Kuomintang troops who were fully equipped with American weapons, and fought very bravely and tenaciously.

On average, nearly 30 shells and bombs were shelled by the main defensive positions on Siping Street. During the fierce battles in which the 56th Regiment of the Democratic Alliance Army was wounded and wounded, the 3rd Company of the 56th Regiment of the Democratic Alliance Army suffered more than half of the casualties, but under the command of political instructor Sun Yongzhang, they still insisted on fighting. In order to concentrate its forces to attack Benxi, the Northeast Security Command of the Kuomintang stopped the attack on Siping Street on April 27, 1946, and the two sides formed a standoff on the battlefield of Siping Street.

On April 26, 1946, the Party Central Committee instructed the Northeast Democratic Alliance Army: "Marshall has put forward an armistice plan, there is a possibility of an armistice, and I hope to strengthen the garrison of Siping, encourage perseverance, frustrate the enemy's spirit, and gain time." On April 27, 1946, the Central Military Commission sent a special telegram praising "the Siping defenders are very heroic" and proposing "please consider adding a part of the defenders and turning Siping Street into Madrid".

On May 1, 1946, the Central Committee pointed out: "The Northeast War attracted the attention of China and foreign countries. It has rejected the armistice plan agreed by Marshall, the Democratic League, and our party, and insisted on fighting to Changchun. Therefore, we must persist in fighting in Siping and Benxi, defeat the two stubborn troops to exhaustion, consume their troops, and frustrate their spirit, so that the troops, weapons, and ammunition they have mobilized in six months will be consumed to the maximum, and there will be no time to replenish them,...... Then it will be possible to find peace that is good for me."

In order to concentrate its forces in the main operational direction of Siping, the Democratic Alliance Army transferred the 19th Brigade of the 7th Column, the 20th Brigade and the 21st Brigade of the 7th Division to defend the southeast of Siping Street, and the 1st and 2nd Divisions to defend the north of Siping Street; the 359th Brigade was transferred south from Harbin to serve as a reserve at Gongzhuling; the main force of the 3rd Column and the 3rd Security Brigade were transferred from South Manchuria to the north to participate in the Siping operation. The 8th Brigade and the Independent Brigade of the 3rd Division made a detour from the east and west flanks of Siping to penetrate deep into the flank of the Kuomintang Army, cut off their communications, and threatened their rear.

In order to concentrate more troops to capture Siping, the Kuomintang army took advantage of the opportunity of the main force of the 3rd column of the Democratic Alliance Army to move north, and attacked Benxi again with 5 divisions in Nanman on April 28. After six days of heroic resistance, the Democratic Alliance Army withdrew from Benxi on May 3, 1946 after killing and wounding a large number of enemies.

After the Kuomintang army occupied Benxi, it transferred the new 6th Army, the 195th Division of the 52nd Army, and the 88th Division of the 71st Army to the north in the direction of Siping, increasing the strength of the Kuomintang Army in the Siping area to 10 divisions.

On the 12th, the New 6th Army and other units advanced to the Kaiyuan area, and the 3rd Column of the Democratic Alliance Army blocked the attack along the line of Kaiyuan, Yehe Station, and Xifeng. On the 14th, under the cover of aircraft, tanks and a large number of artillery, the Kuomintang army carried out repeated attacks on Siping, in an attempt to "press the main force of the Democratic Alliance Army in the Liaohe Loop and destroy it".

Its deployment is as follows: The right wing corps is the 14th Division of the new 6th Army, the new 22nd Division, the 88th Division of the 71st Army, and the 195th Division of the 52nd Army, which will attack the southeast position of Siping Street along the highway from Kaiyuan to Yehe; the Central Corps is the three divisions of the New 1st Army, attacking from the southwest suburbs of Siping Street; the left wing corps is the 87th and 91st Divisions of the 71st Army, which will cooperate with the Central Corps to encircle and attack in the direction of Shuangshan; and the 182nd Division of the 60th Army will take up the task of protecting the road south of Siping.

At dawn on the 15th, a total of 10 divisions of the Kuomintang Army on the Siping front, divided into three corps on the left, center and right, launched a comprehensive attack on Siping. And with a wave-like group charge. In front of the Badger's Cave position, he attacked as many as 10 times a day with the strength of two regiments, but was repulsed by the Democratic Alliance Army.

Under the stubborn resistance of the Democratic Alliance Army, the main forces of the New 1st Army and the 71st Army of the Left Wing Corps of the Central Corps of the Kuomintang Army made no progress in several attacks, and only the 50th Division of the New 1st Army attacked the 258th Heights with ten times the strength of the defenders of the Democratic Alliance Army on the 258th Heights and occupied the 258th Heights. On the 16th, the Kuomintang army attacked the 331.5 heights southeast of Siping Street, and the Democratic Alliance Army fought tenaciously and repelled seven consecutive attacks, and finally lost because most of the firearms were destroyed. On the 17th, the Kuomintang army captured Huoshiling, and then concentrated its forces to launch a surprise attack on the Tazishan position, which was the last commanding height of the left flank of the Sipingjie defensive position, which was related to the safety of the southeast position. The 1st Battalion of the 58th Regiment of the 7th Column of the Democratic Alliance Army fought bloodily and repelled 12 charges in a row. At dawn on the 18th, Tazishan fought fiercely again, and the commanders and fighters of the 19th regiment, taking advantage of the extension of the offensive artillery fire of the Kuomintang army, got up from the pool of blood, and resisted the Kuomintang army's charges again and again with hand-to-hand combat. On the 18th, the 195th Division of the Right Wing Corps of the Kuomintang Army occupied Hafu. At this point, the defense of Siping of the Democratic Alliance Army was in a very unfavorable situation, and the Kuomintang army wanted to make a detour to the northeast of Siping in an attempt to close the retreat of our Siping defenders.

In order to get rid of passivity, avoid being cut off from retreat, and maintain combat effectiveness, the Democratic Alliance Army decided to retreat from the Siping area from the night of the 18th to the early morning of the 19th. Part of the main force arrived on the north bank of the Songhua River in early June to recuperate, while the rest of the troops were transferred to the East Manchurian and West Manchurian areas respectively to rest and recuperate, and to engage in the work of building base areas. Kuomintang troops occupied Siping Street on the 19th.

......

Judging from the Battle of Siping and a series of bloody battles in the nearby area at the same time, this was a desperate battle that was very different from that person's tactical thinking.

Therefore, Zhang Jiashi also learned a situation in the comparison between the two, that is, in the face of a real strategic point, it is not a certain kind of operational thinking that can be weighed and trade-off.

......

Yang Wengzi didn't know Zhang Jiashi's order, and he wouldn't let Zhang Jiashi's order be unable to be executed for no reason. But as an experienced veteran, Yang Wengzi knew that Cloudsdale could not be easily given up, as it was a very important strategic location.

If the city in the clouds is lost, and the Huns attack the troops of the nine plains in the clouds, it can be said that there is no worries at all. Under this premise, the intensity of its attack on Jiuyuan County will inevitably be very huge.

It's not that Yang Wengzi looks down on Li Mian, who can be regarded as a "rocket cadre", but Yang Wengzi himself knows very well that Li Mian may be another leader of the younger generation of generals in the Qin army, but this does not mean that Li Mian can hold Jiuyuan County without any experience in dealing with the Huns.

Yang Wengzi knew very well in his heart that if Yunzhong County was completely lost and Jiuyuan County was still there, then even if he planned to recover the Yunzhong County region in the future, the price he would pay would not be too much.

But if Yunzhong County is defended, and Jiuyuan County falls on all fronts, not to mention what will happen to those of them who are stuck in Yunzhong County, even if the regent of Xianyang wants to recover Jiuyuan County in the future, I am afraid that he will have to pay several times the price.

In a sense, Zhang Jiashi asked him to be transferred to the county guard of Yunzhong County, and Yang Wengzi himself didn't quite understand what the benefits of such an arrangement would be at first.

But after a few months of "living next to each other" with Li Mian, Yang Wengzi understood the meaning of Zhang Jiashi's arrangement.

That is, Li Mian's tactical ability is relatively more flexible than him. Perhaps in terms of his ability to govern the place, Li Mian is still quite young, but if he is cramped in Yunzhong County, which is quite small, I am afraid it is better to let him engage in guerrilla warfare with the Huns in the area of Jiuyuan County.

Besides, Yang Wengzi himself has a lot of confidence in his defensive tactical ability.
