In order to avoid a war in the Central Plains, with the initiative of the Communist Party leader Zhou Enlai and the efforts of the American mediator Brude, the Kuomintang and the Communist Party and the American observers signed the "Hankou Agreement" in Wuhan. According to the provisions of the agreement, the Kuomintang and the Communist Party reached the following Several safety measures:
1. The commanders of the command structures of both sides should immediately issue orders to stop small-scale fighting and outpost conflicts in the area. Second, any movement of troops that violates the Armistice Agreement should be stopped immediately. 3. The construction of new bunkers and permanent fortifications should be stopped immediately. Fourth, the opposing forces of both sides can send necessary liaison officers to each other. 5. It was agreed that one thousand sick and wounded people and their families in the Central Plains Military Region of the Communist Party of China, as well as medical staff to take care of the sick and wounded, would take trains north from Guangshui Station, be transported to Anyang, and be transferred to the Shanxi-Hebei-Shandong-Henan Liberated Areas under the control of the Communist Party. 6. The two sides agree to exchange lists of detained persons. Anyone determined to be a political prisoner or prisoner of war should be released before June 1. 7. Agree to ensure the safety of demobilized personnel of the Central Plains Military Region of the Communist Party of China for the purpose of military reorganization.
The signing of this agreement is undoubtedly a great victory for the Communist Party. According to the "Hankou Agreement", the Central Plains Military Region under its control allowed more than 800 sick and wounded and their families to take trains from the Ninth Execution Center before May 12th. The team sent people to escort them to the Shanxi-Hebei-Shandong-Henan liberated areas. At the same time, under the principle of preserving the main force and retaining the essence, more than 10,000 old and weak people were demobilized, the original seven brigades of the main force were reorganized into six brigades, and the redundant cadres were transferred to other places in various ways to make them The troops are more capable.
The so-called Central Plains Military Region was actually composed of the anti-Japanese base areas behind enemy lines established by the Fifth Division of the New Fourth Army and the Southern Detachment of the Eighth Route Army during the stalemate stage of the War of Resistance in the border areas of Hubei, Henan, Anhui, Hunan, and Jiangxi provinces. Before the Japanese surrender , the Central Plains Military Region has developed into two columns, three independent brigades and three military regions with a total of more than 60,000 troops. The base area has reached more than 60 counties, and has formed a trend of encirclement of the strategically important Wuhan. .
Originally, when Zhang Xian was active in the Jianghan area, there was only the Fifth Division of the New Fourth Army in Hubei, a regular combat force led by the Communist Party. The southbound detachment of the Eighth Route Army that appeared here at this time was after the 1944 Battle of Henan, Hunan and Guangxi. With the Nationalist Government losing a large area of ??land, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China dispatched the main force of Wang Zhen's 359th Brigade to Central China in August 1944, preparing to advance into the Hunan-Guangdong-Jiangxi border area in an attempt to restore the Jiangxi Soviet Area. , re-establishing a base there. The 359th Brigade set out from Yan'an in November 1944, crossed the Yellow River via Taiyue, crossed the Longhai Line, and entered the Hubei-Henan-Anhui Anti-Japanese Base Area. In January 1945, it joined the Fifth Division of the New Fourth Army. . The 359th Brigade continued southward and crossed the Yangtze River, but unexpectedly ran into a wall when it returned to the Jiangxi Soviet Area. One of the reasons was that the local people no longer welcomed the Communist army and believed that this army was not good enough. Like the army that left originally, it will not last long. In the final analysis, we still think it is a "bandit". Secondly, although Xue Yue's Ninth Theater was defeated miserably after the Battle of Henan, Hunan and Guangxi, General Xue did not follow the Military Commission's suggestion and move the headquarters to western Hunan. Instead, he moved the headquarters to eastern Hunan. So that this area is not blank. The 359th Brigade had no choice but to return to northern Hunan and southern Hubei to expand the anti-Japanese base areas established by the Fifth Division of the New Fourth Army there. However, after the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, they could not withstand the encroachment and siege of the National Army, so they had to abandon the south of the Yangtze River and return to the Hubei-Henan border area in the north of the Yangtze River to regroup with the Fifth Division of the New Fourth Army.
Although the Communist Party¡¯s occupied area has further shrunk, this force is still like a sharp knife thrust into the Central Plains, making the Nationalist government feel restless. Chiang Kai-shek boarded the Meiling special plane and officially entered Nanjing on May 5. From this time on, Chairman Chiang's domestic prestige was still at its peak and unmatched. As the leader of the country, he began to consider the issue of real national reunification. Although the negotiations between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party were still in progress at this time, for Chairman Chiang, there were many local warlords who threatened the unity of the country. These local warlords also became another headache for him besides the Communist Party. The purpose of reorganizing the national army is to streamline it, but isn't it also a weakening of local forces? However, everything has its priorities. Chiang Kai-shek knew very well that if he wanted to monopolize power, he must defeat the Communist Party. This was the top priority. As long as the Communist Party is defeated, other local warlords will not be enough.
Of course, at this time, everyone can see that Chairman Chiang¡¯s biggest concern is obviously the Communist Party. After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, the Communist Party occupied nearly one-third of the country's land and governed more than 100 million people. At this time, the Communist Party was no longer comparable to what it was before the Anti-Japanese War. It was obviously not as difficult as before to solve the real unification problem through force. For the Kuomintang, the country is still there, and if it wants to sit down firmly, it must solve the problem of the Communist Party. This civil war is so inevitable that the two sidesIn the same way, you have to be on guard at all times, for fear that at the critical moment, the tiger will pounce with all its strength.
Political commissar Lin Xuan walked up to Ma Wenlong and asked: "Old Ma, since the above has asked us to break out of the encirclement to the west, what do you think we should do to arrange it? It's better to break out of the encirclement as soon as possible!"
Ma Wenlong raised his head and glanced at the nerd wearing glasses. He had never been satisfied with his political commissar. This guy had been with him for so many years, but he had never made any progress in the military. Fortunately, he came from Yan'an. It's just that Political Commissar Lin has the same advantage, that is, he is very serious about everything he does. He is so serious that it can be described as dogmatic. Therefore, Ma Wenlong is also very unhappy, but as an old party member, he is still very obedient to his superiors. arrange. But this time, the above has already told him that after this transfer, Lin Xuan will be transferred and dedicated to administrative and political work. He will be assigned a very experienced person who can fight and has fought a lot. An old revolutionary from the great battle came here. It is said that this old revolutionary also participated in the Red Army's Long March, climbing over snow-capped mountains and crossing grasslands.
"Do you have any opinions?" Ma Wenlong asked Lin Xuan.
Lin Xuan thought for a moment, pushed up the glasses on the bridge of his nose, smiled awkwardly, and said: "I have any good opinions. Every time I express my opinions, you are always the first to overturn them. I Look, I¡¯d better listen to you!¡±
Ma Wenlong also smiled and told him: "Actually, your opinions are very progressive every time, but they are just words on paper. You should just talk about it, and I will listen. How can there be progress if you don't talk about it?"
Lin Xuan nodded and said: "I think we will follow the arrangement above and quickly rush westward through their encirclement before the enemy's 3rd Division and 75th Division meet up. As long as we can capture Xiang If you cross the river in one day, you can break out of the enemy's encirclement."
Ma Wenlong thought for a while, but shook his head.
Seeing Ma Wenlong shaking his head again, Lin Xuan was very disappointed and asked him: "Why, can't it be done?"
"No!" Ma Wenlong told him clearly: "Why didn't the enemy encircle them immediately, but left an opening from the west? That's waiting for us to exit through that opening. Haha, do you think the enemy is so stupid? His It¡¯s a trap. As long as we use that opening, we will definitely get into their pockets.¡±
"Oh?" Lin Xuan didn't believe it and asked, "How do you know?"
Ma Wenlong smiled and said: "This is experience. The enemy has been led by us in circles in the mountainous area. Do you think they are willing? If we wander around here, we may seize the opportunity to bite back, so They are also eager for us to come out of the mountainous areas. As long as we come out of the mountainous areas, then the world will be theirs."
"Then what good method do you have to achieve our goal?"
Ma Wenlong smiled and said: "Actually, this is not too difficult. Although our goal is to go west, we can completely give the enemy the illusion that we are going east. In this case, they will urgently adjust the western front Our troops are going east to outflank them, haha, as long as they move, we can turn west with all our strength and cross the Xiang River in one fell swoop."
"This is a plan to attack the east and attack the west!" Lin Xuan suddenly realized, but then asked: "But how can we mobilize the enemy's western front troops?"
Ma Wenlong said: "The enemy's 118th Brigade in the east has been silent. In this case, we have to take the lead, launch a surprise attack on it, disrupt his position, and give people the feeling that they are going east to break through the Dabie Mountains. Haha, I don¡¯t believe that the enemy¡¯s troops on the western front will still defend Xianghe?¡±
Lin Xuan nodded and said with some worry: "The commander of the 118th Brigade is Zhang Xian. You and I both know this man, but you know him better. Are you sure you can defeat him?"
Ma Wenlong shook his head, but then said: "Although I am not sure that I can beat him, there are people of ours in his team. Haha, at the critical moment, I'm afraid there is nothing he can do!"
"So that's it!" Lin Xuan finally understood. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
