    The disastrous defeat of the national army in Laiwu made the senior officials of Xuzhou Xingyuan and the Ministry of National Defense, who were still arrogant just now, feel as if they had fallen into hell. For a time, there were scoldings and doubts from both the government and the public.  At the same time, voices calling for peace talks between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party also rang out again. However, at this time, Chairman Chiang became a little angry and solemnly issued an order to suppress rebellion and banditry, ordering the seizure of all Communist Party offices in Nanjing, Wuhan, Chongqing and other places.  .  However, at this time, even the American creditors were angry, asking why ten days ago they boasted about annihilating 16 Communist brigades and capturing Linyi City; why were they so vulnerable and suffered such heavy losses ten days later?  The equipment they gave to the national army was all given to the Communist army at a cheap price at this time!

    Faced with such a result, someone must take responsibility. Chairman Chiang naturally would not think it was his fault. Even if it was his fault, it was difficult to say it out loud at this time. Therefore, Xue Yue, director of the Xuzhou Appeasement Office, became the scapegoat.  This famous general who made great achievements in the Anti-Japanese War withdrew from the stage of history in such a disgraceful manner. He was transferred back to Nanjing by Chairman Chiang and was placed in a high position. He was never reused again until he was defeated like a mountain.  Chairman Chiang had no choice but to send Xue Yue to Hainan Island to build a Boling defense line, but at that time he was already powerless.

    Militarily, Chairman Chiang saw his troops being eaten away bit by bit by the Communist army, and could only launch focused attacks on the Northern Shaanxi Liberated Areas and Shandong Liberated Areas occupied by the Communist Party.

    With the dismissal of Xue Yue and the investigation, Liu Zhi, the director of the Zhengzhou Appeasement Office, was also dismissed. Army Commander-in-Chief Gu Zhutong personally came to Xuzhou to overall direct the operations of the two appeasement offices in Xuzhou and Zhengzhou.  At that moment, Gu Zhutong gathered 24 reorganized divisions and 60 brigades, amounting to about 450,000 people, to form three corps, preparing to launch a new round of attacks on the Communist forces in Shandong.  .

    At this time, in terms of reality, although Xue Yue had lost three battles in Suqian, Zaoyi and Laiwu in half a year, he had basically figured out the fighting styles of Chen Yi and Su Yu of the Shandong Communist Army. After all, he was still a very capable person.  Capable commander.  Chairman Chiang's sudden change of generals did not have a real disciplinary effect. Instead, it put the national army in a more dangerous situation and laid the groundwork for a greater failure in the future.

    For the East China Field Army, it was obviously a good thing that Xue Yue was replaced by Gu Zhutong. Deputy Commander Su Yu later wrote in his memoirs, "Xue Yue is said to be smart and decisive in his military use, while Gu Zhutong has always been the defeated general of our army.  The replacement of talented people with mediocre people and the replacement of high-level military commanders are a symbol of the Kuomintang's decline and eventual collapse."

    ***************

    News of the defeat of Laiwu soon spread to Qufu. For the reorganized 11th Division, this news was undoubtedly a bolt from the blue. It made Hu Congjun unbelievable and made Zhang Xian confused. He didn't understand what happened to General Wang Hui?  She had clearly explained the situation to him and he had already understood it. How could he still make such a big mistake?

    It was not until later, when he met General Wang Hui, that Zhang Xian understood the reason.  But on this chaotic battlefield, even if he has Kong Ming's talent and Taigong's strategy, what's the use?  He is just a small regiment leader at the grassroots level. He has no say at all in the formation of troops. The only thing he can do is to act as a chess piece in others' hands, and most likely to serve as cannon fodder for others.

    Hu Congjun attaches great importance to the success and failure of the search team last time. At this time, he understands that what he sees with his own eyes is the real thing.  The big risk is just like this time when the National Army captured Linyi City. It was obvious that the Communist Army deliberately gave up the city. How could there be any news that all 16 of its brigades were wiped out?  That's just a whitewash for those who love success.  If it weren't for this information, I believe General Wang Hui would not have believed Shang Feng's words so easily.  Therefore, Hu Congjun decided to increase the strength of the search team, because this was the eyes of the entire 11th Division.

    Hu Congjun expanded the search team and tripled its strength, which was actually equivalent to setting up a battalion.  At the same time, Commander Hu transferred more than 200 Japanese ocean horses from the 11th Brigade to form a cavalry team. It was composed of tough officers and soldiers selected from various units, equipped with light weapons and radio communication equipment to make it flexible.  Mobile, specialized in long-distance reconnaissance and search missions.  As a result, the reconnaissance capabilities of the entire 11th Division have been greatly improved, which is equivalent to adding an insurance policy to itself.

    The search team is still under the leadership of the 32nd Regiment, with deputy commander Xiong Kaiping as the captain; while the cavalry team is directly led by the division headquarters, and Long Tianya, who has been transferred to the division headquarters as chief of staff, is in charge.

    For the national army, the Battle of Laiwu made allEveryone should fulfill their duties, no one wants to fail, everyone wants to win.  Although the destruction of our friendly armies is regrettable, when you think about it carefully, they also have their own weaknesses. They are either arrogant and careless soldiers, discord between the generals, or mistakes in command.  However, our 11th Division does not have so many problems. From top to bottom, everyone is cautious. Although they are not monolithic, both the officers and the officers and soldiers are very harmonious. What is even more valuable is that Commander Hu can  He was far-sighted, and the officers of each brigade also tried their best to cooperate. It cannot be said that he has made any achievements, but at least he has made no mistakes.  He made no mistakes in command, so he can win the battle!  "

    Yang Tao couldn't help but nodded, and smiled self-deprecatingly at Zhang Xian: "Haha, it seems that I, the brigade commander, am not as confident as you, the regiment commander!"

    Zhang Xian also laughed and told him: "Brigade, actually when we were in Zhang Fengji, our 32nd Regiment was besieged by the Communist Army. I was as unsure as you, but my face was different.  I dared to reveal even a little bit and pretend to be confident. At that time, I also knew that as long as I wavered even a little bit, the Thirty-two Regiment would definitely not persevere!"

    "Yes, one soldier will be a raging enemy, and a den of raging soldiers will be raging!" Yang Tao also echoed, and at the same time he said a little embarrassedly: "Look at me, how can I say such depressing words in front of you! Haha, I really am not worthy of being your brigade.  It¡¯s grown!¡±

    Zhang Xian said with a smile: "Your worries are actually not unreasonable. When the anti-Japanese war started, many people talked arrogantly about pacifying the communist bandits in three or six months; now that they have suffered setbacks, they persist one by one.  A pessimistic attitude, this is how current events create people! In fact, if we can really not be happy with things and not be sad with ourselves, then we will really be disadvantaged!"

    Yang Tao and Wu Hua looked at each other, but Yang Tao sighed with emotion: "Zhang Xian, you are right, haha, it seems that you have already achieved enlightenment and become a Buddha!"

    "Yes!" Wu Hua also said in support: "I think our A-Xian has really achieved the right level of cultivation. He can still eat and sleep even after being hit on the head by a cannonball. He should be made the envoy of the Purifying Altar!" After saying that, he first  laughed.

    Yang Tao was startled, and then burst into laughter.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
