    As soon as the siege of Nanma ended and he knew that the Communist troops had evacuated, Hu Congjun immediately ordered the entire division to pursue them. Although this order was given a little late, there were still some gains. The 118th Brigade captured the enemy in the mud.  A mountain cannon and two cars.  During the pursuit, the reorganized 11th Division met the reorganized 9th Division coming from the north in Beizhangliang, Beishijiu and other places.  Another day later, the reorganized 25th Division and the reorganized 64th Division also arrived in Nanma.  By the 24th, the People's Liberation Army troops near Nanma had basically been eliminated. Even those who had not had time to evacuate became prisoners of the national army at this time!  At this point, everyone finally calmed down completely, and the battle finally ended with a difficult victory.

    When Hu Congjun began to organize his troops, he discovered that the 30,000-strong 11th Division had already suffered 4,500 casualties, including more than 2,000 killed in action.  In the entire position faced by the reorganized 11th Division, according to estimates, the PLA's casualties should be as high as about 11,000 people.  Among the three brigades that were reorganized into the 11th Division, the 18th Brigade suffered the most casualties, with 2,500 casualties, accounting for half of all casualties.  After this battle, the Eighteenth Brigade was obviously in urgent need of rest and recuperation.

    In fact, both the Kuomintang and the Communist Party disagreed on the outcome of the Battle of Nanma. The People's Liberation Army's war history stated that more than 5,000 people of the reorganized 11th Division were annihilated, and the 25th, 64th, and 9th Reorganized Divisions were also annihilated.  The division contracted more than 4,000 men, totaling about 9,000, and suffered more than 10,000 casualties.  The battle report of the national army stated that more than 20,000 communist troops were killed and injured, and more than 3,000 people were captured alive.  In fact, the battle reports of both sides are full of water. In order to show their victory, they will expand the results and reduce their losses. This is also human nature.  If the statistics from both sides are combined, the National Army's losses should be between 8,000 and 9,000 people, while the People's Liberation Army's losses were approximately 14,000.

    No matter how you put it, it is obvious that the People's Liberation Army was defeated in this battle, while the National Army achieved a rare victory.  For this reason, Chairman Chiang was also overjoyed and immediately telegraphed this battle report to the national troops fighting everywhere at this time to show encouragement. Of course, at the same time, he also greatly commended the soldiers who reorganized the 11th Division in the telegram.  , especially the division commander Hu Congjun, who was commended through the whole army.

    At this time, at Yangshanji in southwest Shandong, Liu and Deng's troops of the People's Liberation Army were still tightly besieging Song Ruike's reorganized 66th Division, and the other three divisions of the First Corps were basically annihilated by Liu and Deng's army.  The fighting was breathtakingly tense.

    The Central Committee of the Communist Party of China in northern Shaanxi also felt that it was difficult. At this time, they were still suffering from the oppression of the National Army Hu Zongnan.  On July 23, Mao Zedong once again urged Liu Bocheng and Deng Xiaoping, who had been fighting for more than 20 days in southwestern Shandong, and telegraphed: "Liu and Deng have judged that it is necessary to attack the enemy quickly at Yangshanji and Jining.  If you are sure of annihilation, attack and annihilate it. Otherwise, immediately concentrate the entire army to rest for about ten days. In addition to clearing out the small enemies and militia groups passing by, there will be no attack on Longhai, no attack east of the New Yellow River, and no attack on the Han Road. Make up your mind not to  In the rear, it will take half a month to go straight out of the Dabie Mountains, occupy dozens of counties centered on the Dabie Mountains, eliminate militia groups, mobilize the masses, establish base areas, and attract the enemy to attack us for mobile warfare." At the same time, Mao Zedong also asked the troops under the leadership of Chen Yi  The East China Field Army and Chen Geng and Xie Fuzhi Group cooperated to advance towards the Central Plains and jointly implemented the task of strategic offensive. It was stipulated that after Chen Geng and Xie Fuzhi Group advanced into western Henan, they would be under the command of Liu and Deng.  This deployment was the key to Mao Zedong's grand strategy of competing in the Central Plains. It is no wonder that he had to urge Liu and Deng's army to advance.

    Chen Yi and Su Yu received the central government's order requiring the East China Field Army to cooperate with Liu and Deng's army in advancing to the Dabie Mountains. They also felt a heavy responsibility. At this time, the Nanma battle had just ended, and the East China Field Army's battles in southern Shandong and southwestern Shandong were also unsatisfactory. At this time,  Seeing that Li Mi's reorganized 8th Division had occupied Linqu City, according to Su Yu's opinion, the East China Field Army divided its troops in July and attacked both internal and external lines. As long as every battle was fought successfully, the enemy's effective forces were annihilated and the national army was wiped out.  The ten brigades are firmly stuck on the Shandong battlefield, which is the best support for Liu and Deng's army to advance south.  At the moment, after discussing the plan with Chen Yi and others, they decided to launch an attack on the reorganized 8th Division that was occupying Linqu City at this time, preparing to annihilate it in one fell swoop, and by the way open up the connection between the Bohai Sea and the Shandong Liberated Area.

    On the evening of July 24, the 2nd, 6th, 7th and 9th columns of the East China Field Army once again launched an attack on the reorganized 8th Division in Linqu, two days after they withdrew from Nanma. The battle started from the beginning.  Extremely intense.

    Li Mi's reorganized 8th Division was originally stationed in Wei County on the Jiaoji Line, which was an important transportation hub. After the reorganized 11th Division was besieged in Nanma, it was ordered to rush south to rescue Nanma. Li Mi personally led six  The regiment marched, but the march was extremely procrastinating. After several days of walking, the vanguard had not yet arrived at Linqu.  After the East China Field Army withdrew from Nanma on the 21st, the National Army's reconnaissance planes had discovered that these withdrawing troops were moving in the direction of Linqu and immediately reported to the police.  ?sp; This time, Hu Congjun was obviously very selfish, but he did not adopt Zhang Xian's suggestion. Instead, he adopted Brigadier Yang's suggestion and asked the superior for instructions.

    Sure enough, as Zhang Xian expected, Xuzhou ordered the reorganized 11th Division to continue to guard Nanma, with rectification of military affairs as its main responsibility.  After receiving the telegram from Shangfeng, Hu Congjun breathed a sigh of relief and immediately called back to Li Mi in Linqu. He only said that Shangfeng would not let the 11th Division move lightly. At the same time, he encouraged and comforted him and informed Shangfeng.  Rescue troops have been dispatched.  It was said very politely, but in Zhang Xian's opinion, all of this was so artificial!

    In the later stages of the Linqu Battle, seeing that the People's Liberation Army was already exhausted, and the three national army reorganized divisions as reinforcements had arrived at the Linqu battlefield, the battle situation at this time could be said to be clear. At this time, Hu Congjun felt a little regretful.  If the reorganized 11th Division can also attack, then he can also get a share of the upcoming victory, which is the icing on the cake.  At that moment, Commander Hu immediately made suggestions to the summit, resolutely and proactively asking the reorganized 11th Division to also coordinate the reorganized 8th Division's Linqu battle, and had already made preparations for the 118th Brigade and the 11th Brigade.

    The telegram from Shangfeng was quickly sent back, and indeed he agreed to his request and ordered the reorganized 11th Division to send two brigades to support the reorganized 8th Division.  After Hu Congjun received the order, he immediately summoned the 118th Brigade and the 11th Brigade, and personally led the charge towards Linqu in the northeast. Unexpectedly, just as he arrived at Sanchadian, he received a battle report from the front, telling him that all the communist troops had been defeated.  , all troops are in pursuit.

    At this time, Hu Congjun couldn't help but stamp his feet and said to Zhang Xian regretfully: "Axian, I really regret not listening to you. If we had entered the battlefield a few days earlier, we would have shared in this victory!"

    Looking at Hu Congjun's appearance, Zhang Xian couldn't help but shook his head, sighed, and said: "Master, when did you become so fond of competing for credit? I'm afraid you didn't lead the troops out just to compete for credit, right?  "

    Hu Congjun was stunned for a moment, then suddenly laughed out loud, pointed at Zhang Xian and cursed: "You bastards, it seems you are the roundworm in my stomach, I can't hide anything from you!"  At the same time, he couldn't help but sigh, and said leisurely: "Yes, Ah Xian, you are right, give him a peach and repay him with a plum! If we really have to stand still this time, then I'm afraid there will be a disaster in the future."  Someone poked my spine and called me ungrateful. If I encounter a situation like Numa again in the future, I'm afraid others won't try so hard to come to the rescue! Alas! Fighting is actually the same as being a human being! It's difficult!"

    Zhang Xian nodded. In fact, Hu Congjun was unwilling to send troops to fight from the beginning. He wanted to reorganize the 11th Division and truly rest. When he received the order from the top, he was really eager to do so.  And when he observed that the battle in Linqu was almost over, he immediately asked for orders to go out to fight. In fact, it was just for show, giving people the impression that he was working hard to fight.  His purpose is not really to win credit, but to pay off debts!

    Thinking of this, Zhang Xian suddenly felt that compared with Hu Congjun, he was too immature and too simple. What he lacked was his cunning and sophistication.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
