For the Communist army that existed in northern Jiangsu at this time, there were actually two armies at this time, but they were both developed from the original New Fourth Army.
After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, in accordance with the strategy of "development to the north and defense to the south" proposed by the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, Shandong's Luo Ronghuan troops rushed to the Northeast region. In order to fill the vacancy in Shandong, the New Fourth Army in Jiangsu, led by Army Commander Chen Yi Entering Shandong, they joined the main force of the Eighth Route Army staying in Shandong to form the Jinpu Front Field Army. In early 1946, it was renamed the Shandong Field Army, with Chen Yi as commander-in-chief and Li Yu as political commissar. At the same time, the New Fourth Army remaining in the Liberated Areas of Central China formed the Central China Field Army, with Su Yu as commander-in-chief and Tan Zhenlin as political commissar.
After the outbreak of the civil war, in the face of the Nationalist Army's attack on the Central Jiangsu area, according to the decision of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Yan'an, it was prepared to abandon Central Jiangsu and let the Central China Field Army jump to the periphery to deal with the enemy. At that time, the Central China Field Army led by Su Yu only had more than 30,000 people. Facing the national army's nearly 120,000 troops, it was obviously like throwing an egg against a stone. However, Su Yu called Yan'an back and believed that it would be most beneficial to fight a few battles on the inside of Suzhong and then jump to the outside, so his suggestion was accepted by Yan'an. Unexpectedly, facing the four-pronged army commanded by Tang Enbo, the Central China Field Army fought very smoothly. It was able to maneuver among powerful enemies and was always able to seize the opportunity and concentrate its superior forces to defeat the invading enemies one by one. In the month and a half from July to August, the Central China Field Army of more than 30,000 people fought seven major battles, and achieved good results in all of them. In total, more than 50,000 national troops were wiped out. This is what Su The Battle of China is also known as the Seven Battles and Seven Victories.
The Central China Field Army captured national army soldiers and incorporated them into its own ranks, called liberation fighters. At the same time, it captured a large number of national army weapons and equipment to enrich itself. This army also developed rapidly.
However, as the war situation developed, facing the four-way siege of the northern Jiangsu area by the Kuomintang army, it was difficult for the Central China Field Army alone to cope, so the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China urgently ordered the Shandong Field Army to fight south.
At this time, as commanders of the communist army, Chen Yi and Su Yu, one in the north and the other in the south, had already entered the battlefield. At the beginning, the Shandong Field Army and the Central China Field Army had their own division of labor. The Shandong Field Army was responsible for repelling the two national armies in the north, and the Central China Field Army was responsible for repelling the two national armies in the south. However, after careful analysis, Chen Yi and Su Yu believed that the gap between the four routes of national troops was very wide, which was very conducive to defeating each one. As for which route to defeat first? Both of them were keeping an eye on the reorganized 11th Division and the reorganized 69th Division attacking from Suqian. Because this offensive route is the junction between the Shandong Field Army and the Central China Field Army. Once the Shuyang area is captured, it means that the enemy has driven a wedge between the two armies. As for the enemies along this route, both armies are fully confident that they can attack and annihilate them at the nearest distance. After annihilating the enemies along this route, the two armies can immediately move west, south or north to attack in all directions and gain the initiative.
Once the plan was established, the Shandong Field Army and the Central China Field Army of the Communist Army made arrangements in full swing.
****************
The heavy snowfall of the lunar calendar has just passed, and the winter wind is blowing from the north. It is rare to have a red sun hanging in the sky, but at this time, it is also blown away by the warmth. Geographically speaking, this place is already north of the Huaihe River in the Qinling Mountains and belongs to the north. However, it is actually similar to the folk customs in the southern part of central Jiangsu. The villages are small but dense, with rivers and lakes crisscrossing them. Nearby is the Central Canal. A large lake, Luoma Lake, was formed into a lake because the Yellow River diverted the Huai River into the sea, and the Yi River and other tributary channels to the north of the Huai River were blocked. Although it was the middle of winter, it was still before the winter solstice, and it had not yet entered the 39th. The rivers and lakes were not frozen, and the waves were shining, but it was a desolate scene.
Commander Wu reorganized the 11th Division as the right column and the 69th Division as the left column, and cautiously advanced to attack Suqian. However, the road was very peaceful. Only the 69th Division encountered a small group of Communist troops. After a brief battle, the local guerrilla troops of the Communist Army fled in all directions. This made the officers and soldiers of the reorganized 69th Division who had just participated in the fight against the rebellion very arrogant. They did not expect that the Communist Army was so easy to fight.
The Sixty-ninth Division is a newly formed division. It consists of a reserve third brigade from the reorganized Fifty-seventh Division, the 41st Brigade from the reorganized Twenty-sixth Division, and a regiment each from the Sixty-second Brigade and the Ninety-second Brigade. In fact, the internal conflicts have not been completely resolved, and many officers and soldiers have not been fully integrated, so they were pushed onto the battlefield without adequate preparation.
Looking at this group of friendly troops who were so proud of their small victory, Zhang Xian could only shake his head secretly, feeling a very ominous premonition.
Hu Congjun chased him from behind in a car, stopped on the roadside, and looked at the man on the horse.The land was surrounded, and at this time, on the sea near the mouth of the Sheyang River in the east, there was a national navy fleet waiting in full formation at sea, and Su Yu's troops were unable to fly.
Commander Wu also nodded and said to everyone: "So, under this situation, I think we must speed up our actions immediately, take advantage of the opportunity, and capture Shuyang and Xin'an as quickly as possible. According to the original plan The plan is to reorganize the 11th Division from Suqian to the east along the Sushu Highway into Shuyang; to reorganize the 69th Division from Suqian to the northeast along the Mu-Suxin Highway to occupy Xin'an Town. Each division will take action immediately tomorrow morning and strive to complete it within two days Scheduled mission!"
"Yes!" Everyone agreed in unison.
Commander Wu remembered something again and said to Hu Congjun: "Mr. Hu, Suqian City is also an important place. It forms a three-legged confrontation with Shuyang and Xin'an Town. It must not be lost to the Communist army, so I ask you to Do you think there is a problem with leaving a regiment to guard Suqian?"
Hu Congjun was stunned. Commander Wu did not ask the reorganized 69th Division to detach a regiment to defend Suqian, but to detach a regiment from his division to defend Suqian, which was equivalent to weakening the combat effectiveness of the entire 11th Division, but he also saw that This shows Commander Wu's trust in the entire 11th Division. At that moment, even though I was reluctant to do so, I had no choice but to agree casually: "Okay, no problem!"
Commander Wu nodded and asked him at the same time: "Which regiment are you going to leave behind to defend Suqian?"
Hu Congjun looked at the brigade commanders under him, and his eyes rested on Zhang Xian, but he was a little hesitant. After all, if the 32nd Regiment was left in Suqian City, what if the two reorganization divisions left? , if the enemy attacks Suqian secretly, can the 32nd Regiment be able to defend it?
As if seeing Hu Congjun's difficulty, Zhang Xian stood up and volunteered: "Sir, please let us, the 32nd Regiment, stay and guard Suqian!"
"Okay, then let's go to the Thirty-two Regiment!" Hu Congjun had to agree. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
