    New Year's Day in 1947 was destined not to be a peaceful holiday. The four-pronged offensive of the National Army that started at the end of the first year was not over yet. Although the National Army captured the Yanfu and Lianshui areas, it was still near Suqian.  The losses were indeed not small, and no one expected that the battle situation in the northernmost direction of Shandong would be even more tragic!  The result was greater losses for the national army!

    On New Year¡¯s Day, the sound of fierce fighting and gunfire was heard in southern Shandong. As the northernmost troops attacking Yixian and Zaozhuang, they were fiercely besieged by the New Fourth Army on this day.

    The main ones fighting on the northern front were the 26th Reorganized Division, a direct line of the Central Army of the Kuomintang. Its left wing was the 51st Reorganized Division reorganized from the Northeastern Army, and the right wing was the 33rd Reorganized Army of the Northwest Army. However, these three units committed another crime.  A common mistake made by the national army is that although they are advancing side by side, the gap is too large and it is easy for the new national army to penetrate and separate them.

    The 26th Reorganized Division is also a well-known ace division. The division commander is Ma Liwu, who graduated from the first phase of Huangpu. This Lieutenant General Ma was once an aide of Chiang Kai-shek, so Chairman Chiang naturally took good care of him and took care of him, the only one in the national army.  One of the three mechanized troops, the First Rapid Column, was in the process of reorganizing the 26th Division.  At the end of December, when the battle in Northern Jiangsu was about to begin, Lieutenant General Ma led the reorganized 26th Division and coordinated with the two friendly forces on the left and right. They set out from Zaozhuang along the Fenglin Highway towards the area controlled by the Communist Party.  Linyi, the core of the Shandong Liberated Area, pushed forward, and fought several battles with the Communist Party's Shandong Field Army along the way. Finally, it reached the vicinity of Xiangcheng. It was at this time that the reorganized 26th Division formed a long snake along the road.  Kai, just like the original reorganized 69th Division, is particularly prominent.

    For Lieutenant General Ma, he has his own opinions.  In his opinion, the Communist Army has always been famous for attacking the weak brigades first, and his two wings are all miscellaneous. It is unlikely that Chen Yi will leave the weak brigades alone and attack his powerful reorganized 26th Division, let alone  What's more, he also has a mechanized rapid column in his hands, which Tubalu has probably never even seen.  Another main reason was that he believed that the main force of the Communist Army was still in Northern Jiangsu and was fighting with the Reorganized 74th Division and the Reorganized 11th Division, and it was impossible to return to Shandong so quickly.

    However, things always go unexpectedly. Faced with more and more intelligence coming in, Lieutenant General Ma discovered that his reorganized 26th Division was already surrounded by the communist army led by Chen Yi.  in the center, separated from the troops on both wings.  Lieutenant General Ma couldn't help feeling nervous, and quickly contacted Director Xue Yue of the Xuzhou Appeasement Department, requesting the reorganized 26th Division to retreat and regain contact with the two wings.  However, Director Xue has always been at odds with Lieutenant General Ma. At this time, he did not see Su Yu's trap at all. Although Air Force reconnaissance found that a large number of Communist troops were rapidly returning north from northern Jiangsu in broad daylight, this phenomenon  This had never happened before, so Director Xue thought that this should be the communist army that had retreated from northern Jiangsu. So he just smiled at Lieutenant General Ma's urgent telegram and ordered Lieutenant General Ma not to retreat and to build fortifications on the spot as a warning.  .

    After receiving the telegram from Director Xue, Lieutenant General Ma felt like crying but had no choice but to bite the bullet and order his subordinates to build fortifications in the hope that they could stand firm and wait for help.

    With the advent of the New Year's Day festival, the seemingly tense atmosphere has eased, and the Communist army did not launch an attack.  Until the morning of New Year's Day, everything was normal, and the Communist Army seemed to be celebrating the holiday. Lieutenant General Ma put aside his fear and anxiety, and heard that a Peking Opera troupe had come from Yixian County, so as a theater fan  Lieutenant General Ma decided to relax, so after lunch, he drove away from the frontline headquarters and returned to the county seat to watch the show.

    The play was "The Storm Pavilion" about Yue Fei's murder. It seemed to be a foreshadowing. Just as Lieutenant General Ma was immersed in it, news came from the front that the battle had begun.  The division launched a siege.

    Without the command of a mastermind, the various units of the reorganized 26th Division were like a group of headless flies. Each unit was wiped out one after another. At this time, Lieutenant General Ma's way back to the headquarters was blocked.  Even under such circumstances, the reorganized 26th Division still showed tenacious combat effectiveness. The fierce battle continued for two days and two nights. Although Lieutenant General Ma screamed for assistance from the Air Force and requested rescue from both wings,  The weather was not beautiful these two days, with thick fog, rain and snow, making it impossible for the air force to dispatch. The miscellaneous troops on both wings were also blocked by the Communist troops and did not fight very hard. Most of them were still waiting and watching.  The outcome of this battle can be imagined.

    At this time, the 33rd Reorganized Army saw that the 26th Reorganized Division had been wiped out. Starting from January 5, it hurriedly withdrew to the south of the canal and launched a defense to the north relying on Xuzhou.  Xue Yue was worried that the Communist army would take advantage of the victory to invade Xuzhou, so he urgently reorganized the 11th Division and the 74th Army and other main forces of the national army to move northward. At this time, the canal wasBe careful, pay attention to collecting more intelligence, conduct in-depth research, and never underestimate the enemy or be careless!  "He still can't forget the past when the 11th Division was almost wiped out when it encircled and suppressed the Red Army in Jiangxi.

    "Yes! I will pay special attention to it, sir, don't worry!" Yang Tao answered loudly.

    "Yes!" Chief Chen nodded, and finally said to him: "When you go back, say hello to all the officers and soldiers of the 11th Brigade for me!"

    "Yes, I will definitely bring it!" Yang Tao agreed.

    At this time, Chief Chen turned his head to look at Zhang Xian, nodded at the same time, sighed, and said: "Zhang Xian, you are much thinner than when you were in Chongqing!"

    "Really? I don't think so!" Zhang Xian looked back at Hu Congjun and asked as if he was joking: "Teacher, didn't you say that I can eat better than before? Why am I getting thinner as I eat more?"

    Hu Congjun was a little embarrassed and said casually: "Who knows where all the food you eat has gone!"

    Chief Chen understood very well and said to Zhang Xian: "The last time you went to Nanjing, I didn't have time to see you. I just heard about your battle in Shandong!"

    Zhang Xian couldn't help but blush, and quickly criticized himself: "I'm sorry, Commander, I defeated the 31st Regiment!"

    Chief Chen waved his hand and sighed: "There is no general who is always victorious in this world. Zhang Xian, you can be considered a strong general. You fought like that with the Japanese in Changde, and now you are fighting with the Communist army in Zhang Fengji  If you end up like this again, you have tried your best, and I can¡¯t blame you for not succeeding.¡±

    "Thank you, boss, for your understanding!" Zhang Xian said sincerely.

    "You, how quickly you brought out the New Thirty-One Regiment, you have lived up to my expectations!"

    "I will do it as soon as possible!" Zhang Xian promised.

    "The 31st Regiment has already achieved great results!" Hu Congjun, who was standing next to him, couldn't help but tell Chief Chen.

    "Oh? What's the result?" Chief Chen asked with great interest.

    At that moment, Hu Congjun told what happened in the Battle of Suqian, and finally said: "If Zhang Xian hadn't led the 31st Regiment to defend Suqian City and captured Jingertou, I'm afraid we would have been ten  The First Division may really be following in the footsteps of the Sixty-ninth Division!"

    Chief Chen's face was solemn. From Hu Congjun's words, he already knew the dangers that the 11th Division experienced at that time. It seems that this kind of dangers will continue. How can we preserve the army he founded?  The emergence of the original troops of the civil engineering department is really a very worrying problem.  At this time, as the chief of staff, he was responsible for guiding the entire war to suppress the rebellion. After the two battles between Subei and Lunan, three reorganized divisions had been lost, and the 26th Reorganized Division was considered a powerful force.  , in the blink of an eye, it collapsed. What happened to the national army?  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
