Liu Hanying's new 137th Division's first round of attack on Liang Bida's division did not achieve the expected goal.
In the early stage of the battle, Liang Bida commanded the troops to avoid the main force of Zhang Jiayu's first brigade, and created a momentum in Chenbu Town and Xujiaji area, so he took the initiative to give up the two strategic towns that were very important in Liu Hanying's opinion, and let Zhang Jiayu's troops celebrate proudly in Chenbu Town.
In fact, the occupied town of Chenbu was an empty town, and only a small number of guerrillas were tirelessly carrying out raids and harassment activities in the surrounding area. At this time, Liang Bida had already dispatched Zhu Zhudao's first regiment and Qu Xiangqian's third regiment and strengthened the strength of more than 1,000 militiamen to concentrate on the narrow area of the Jiguan Mountain line between Songdian and Mapi, spared one battalion of Ma Ziwei's second brigade's attacking force, and introduced two battalions of the second Ma Bu regiment into a narrow strip of nearly 3,000 meters between the two mountains.
In this way, a delicate long snake formation was formed, and if you hit its head, you can't take care of its tail, you can't take care of its tail, and if you defeat its waist and abdomen, you can't take care of it. What Liang Bida chose was to "hit his waist and abdomen".
After the battle began, the three thousand Tuyang Eight Roads seemed to rise from the ground, and pounced on Ma Ziwei's two battalions with lightning speed. Liang Bida's troops here have an absolute advantage, but they are absolutely empty in other places, so they naturally dare not fight, and they will fight quickly, and Ma Ziwei's two battalions will be wiped out in a blink of an eye.
When Ma Ziwei came back to his senses, he urgently dispatched troops, but it was too late, and Liang Bida's department was stealth.
Liang Bida has a popular tactical theory: call Huazi not to compare treasures with the dragon king, fight if you win, you can't fight for a long time, you can accept it when you see it, and the future will be long. If you can't win, you can't run blindly, and don't let the rabbit go when you mow the grass.
A few years ago, Shannan and Shanbei were united with the outside world, and the Kuomintang and Communist armies did not fight in a big way for several years, and Ma Ziqi always disdained Liang Bida's tactics, believing that there was no order, and he did not follow the rules, and he could not be on the big stage. But this time it made Ma Ziwei taste the bitterness. The reinforcements mobilized by Ma Ziwei were all gone, and they were on the way back to retreat hatefully, but unexpectedly, Liang Bida's main force killed a horse pistol again, and under the echo of the second regiment of the reserve Tao Sanhe, the troops behind Ma Ziwei's palace ate another one and a half battalions, and also captured Yu Ziqiu, deputy of the third regiment of Ma Ziwei's department.
In the direction of Chenbu Town, as soon as Zhang Jiayu's good news was issued, he received an urgent report from Liu Hanying: One regiment of the Second Brigade and nine independent battalions of the sub-division commanded by Dou Yuquan, deputy brigade commander of the Eighth Column of the Shannan Jianghuai Field Army and commander of the Bumpshan Military Division, plus nearly 5,000 troops of the local armed forces were marching towards Chenbu Town. According to the analysis, it is necessary to form a situation of encirclement of Zhang Jiayu's department.
Zhang Jiayu suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, and commanded the two battalions of the first regiment and the other two regiments stationed in the area of Chenbu Town to retreat quickly, and along the way, several local armed forces commanded by Dou Yuquan unexpectedly hit a few small blockades.
In fact, Liang Bida didn't plan to encircle Zhang Jiayu at all, but just asked Dou Yuquan to organize local armed forces to fight the grass and scare the snake, and Zhang Jiayu couldn't hold his breath.
The battle to seize the territory ended with the total annihilation of three entire battalions of Liu Hanying's newly formed 137th Division, the heavy losses of five battalions, the loss of nearly 2,000 troops, and the loss of more than 10 kilometers of territory in Xigao, Sanhe, and Tiantianzhai.
Liu Hanying's face darkened for two days in a row. Liu Hanying said to Zhang Jiayu, Ma Ziwei and others that underestimating the enemy and underestimating the enemy is the root of defeat. This is mainly about Ma Ziwei. When Ma Ziwei marched into Jiguan Mountain, Liu Hanying warned him to march in multiple columns. But Ma Ziwei didn't take Liang Bida in his eyes, relying on full American-style equipment, strong soldiers and strong horses, Liang Bida had no choice but to do anything. In addition, he was not at ease by dividing the troops into several routes. He is used to hitting people with a fist, and he is also afraid that hitting people with a slap will break his fingers if he encounters hard bones. Unexpectedly, this time a fist stretched out, and instead of smashing Liang Bida, Liang Bida's wrist was broken.
Ma Ziwei knew that he was at a loss, so he didn't argue, but said: "I have despised my position, and I underestimated the enemy." But this Liang Bida is indeed not a play, and he does not follow the rules. I haven't fought with them for a few years, and I'm not quite used to their path. ”
Zhang Jiayu played a round on the side, and said with a smile: "Liang Bida is a person who really can't be underestimated. I don't know a few big characters, but he still knows the guerrilla tactics very well, understands it, and uses it freely. Concentrating the absolute superiority of forces and breaking through each of them is a very powerful tactic. ”
Liu Hanying stroked his palms and sighed: "Our army also suffers this loss on other battlefields. Speaking of self-knowledge, he doesn't play with you, he doesn't fight against you, he runs around, he is haunted and surprised. You are in the light, and he is in the dark. If the positional battle is ineffective and not done well, the headquarters will suffer a big loss on this issue. I advise you to read more of Mao's book, and treat others in the way of others. ”
Ma Ziwei said disapprerovingly: "The teacher's words are reasonable, but in the eyes of his contempt, it may not be so serious. The dirt eight road is the dirt eight road, but one can be two can not be three. According to the opinion of the post, our department took advantage of the enemy's victory in the first battle, and when it was proud, it attacked Meiling and eliminated Liang Bida's nest. ”
Liu Hanying said with a straight face: "It's still a light enemy." Liang Bida is different from you, Liang Bida is not surnamed Ma, not Ma Yan, it is not as simple as you think. ”
Ma Ziwei looked embarrassed, looked at Liu Hanying, and then at Zhang Jiayu, and stopped talking.
