    The reorganized 11th Division only took a short rest in Xinyang, and then was ordered to search and advance to the Dabie Mountains to cooperate with the Chinese Army troops to encircle and suppress the People's Liberation Army led by Liu Bocheng and Deng Xiaoping who were stationed here at this time.

    The first stop was Luoshan County. Luoshan County is located 50 kilometers east of Xinyang. The terrain is relatively flat. Hu Congjun led the 11th Reorganized Division here carefully and sent troops in all directions to search for traces of the People's Liberation Army.  However, within a few days, all parties reported that no trace of the enemy had been found.  At that moment, Hu Congjun led the reorganized 11th Division eastward into Guangshan County.  Guangshan County is located fifty kilometers east and south of Luoshan County. The 118th Brigade, as the leader of the reorganized 11th Division, fought with the People's Liberation Army when entering Guangshan County. There was a small group of People's Liberation Army troops in the county.  After resisting, they abandoned the city and headed south into the Dabie Mountains.

    The 18th Brigade and the 11th Brigade also arrived at Guangshan. Here, Hu Congjun once again summoned the three brigade commanders to study the next step of the campaign.

    "It seems that we have entered the enemy's periphery and may soon have to engage in battle with the Communist army. So at this time, I hope everyone is working hard and there must be no slacking off!"  Hu Congjun warned his subordinates with a serious face. He glanced at all the people in the venue with a majestic look, and then said: "Our enemy is Liu Bocheng. His command is very good. Many of our countries  Even the army suffered defeat from him."

    Everyone nodded in agreement. Indeed, among all the national army generals, Liu Bocheng's name is feared.

    "But there is no need to be afraid!" Hu Congjun continued: "We also fought several battles with Liu Bocheng. Although Liu Bocheng's command was very good, his troops were not so good. Haha, when he was in Zhang Fengji, Liu Bocheng  After countless calculations, in the end he concentrated so many troops and wanted to eat our 11th Brigade, but the troops under his command failed to live up to the expectations. Not only did they fail to eat us, but they lost everything. In the end, it was not  Return without success?"

    Hearing what he said, everyone laughed.

    "But Zhang Xian couldn't laugh no matter what. He had personally witnessed the battle of Zhang Fengji, and the dangers involved were by no means as simple as what Hu Congjun said now.

    Seeing that everyone had finished laughing, Hu Congjun continued to mobilize: "Actually, that's what the Communist Army is like. Chen Yi's army does have a few capable troops, haha, but the commander Chen Yi is not very good! So, although  Here I remind everyone not to underestimate the enemy too much, but we should not have too much psychological burden and take these communist troops too seriously. Although they have achieved several victories at this time, I believe this is only temporary. As long as  If all of us can unite as one, put the interests of the party and the country first, and be united, I think we will be able to achieve final victory in the end!"

    Everyone applauded together.

    Hu Congjun waved his hand, signaling for everyone to calm down, and then said: "This time, Liu Bocheng's troops fled to the Dabie Mountains. This is basically asking for death. In the 20th year of the Republic of China, communist bandits were rampant in the Dabie Mountains for a while, but  It didn't take long for us to drive him out. Haha, this time Liu Bocheng tried to recreate the scene of the past, but he was just dreaming! This time, several troops of the Guangxi faction were in the south, and we reorganized the 11th Division in the north to carry out operations on them.  In a flanking attack, the enemy will definitely have nowhere to escape. Let Dabie Mountain become Liu Bocheng's tomb!"

    Everyone applauded again.

    Seeing that everyone¡¯s morale had been raised, Hu Congjun was moved and satisfied, and then he began to arrange the operation.

    "This time we have arrived at Guangshan. From here we head south and enter the Dabie Mountains. The terrain is very complex, so I want everyone to be particularly careful and don't fall into the enemy's trap!"

    Everyone nodded.

    Hu Congjun walked to the map. On this map, he had already marked the direction of the march. He pointed at Guangshan with a stick and said to everyone: "This is Guangshan County. I will leave a message here."  The regiment is a garrison and serves as a base for our operations." Then he pointed to a place to the east and said: "This is Renhe Town, 20 kilometers east of the city. This is an intersection and the location is relatively important, so the 118th Brigade and the Division  The department is placed right here, right here.¡±

    As he spoke, his eyes turned to Zhang Xian and Brigadier Qin of the 18th Brigade: "The 11th Brigade and the 18th Brigade are our two fists. As the left and right groups, we will search the Dabie Mountains in the south side by side. The 11th Brigade is  On the right road, Brigadier Zhang can lead his troops south from Renhe Town, via Qishan Pass, Baique Garden to Shawo Town. The 18th Brigade can take the left road, bypassing Changgan Ridge and heading south from Shuangliu Shu, via Wangqiao and Yu  Assemble, turn west to meet up with the 11th Brigade in Shawo Town."

    Zhang Xian and Qin Lu? It is very difficult to make ends meet, and there is no extra food to supply the teams of the Kuomintang and the Communist Party!  On the other hand, the Kuomintang has established a solid foundation of rule here. It implements the policy of joint defense and five-party alliance, as well as militia organizations at all levels, especially the so-called "small groups" commanded by the mayors of various townships and others.  This militia is not only familiar with the local customs, but also familiar with the Communist Party's set of guerrilla tactics. Compared with the regular army of the National Army, it is more harmful and cruel to the People's Liberation Army. Many sick and wounded in Liu and Deng's army  They were wiped out in large numbers by these militia groups.  In addition, the Guangxi Clan of the National Army has been stationed here for a long time and has been operating for more than 20 years. From the division commander to the company platoon leader, even the veterans are married to local wives and are basically integrated with the local area.  Has a deep foundation of dominance.  Under such circumstances, it is not easy to establish a solid Dabie Mountain base!

    Secondly, the terrain of the Dabie Mountains is not suitable for large-scale mobile warfare by the field army.  The Dabie Mountains are located at the junction of Hubei, Henan and Anhui provinces and are the watershed between the Huaihe River and the Yangtze River.  The Huaihe River is the dividing line between the northern and southern climates in my country, and this area already belongs to the south.  In mountainous areas, mountains overlap and stretch continuously, making it difficult to move and gather troops. They are only suitable for guerrilla warfare and not for mobile warfare of large corps.  After Liu and Deng's army entered the Dabie Mountains, their movements slowed down significantly. The cannons and baggage had to be carried by soldiers. The march was extremely slow on the rugged mountain roads.  On the other hand, the national army was able to take advantage of the convenient transportation around the Dabie Mountains and easily mobilized troops for encirclement and suppression.  Furthermore, since the terrain conditions of the Dabie Mountains are not conducive to large maneuvers by large corps, it will be difficult for the main corps of the People's Liberation Army to gain a foothold here when a strong enemy attacks.

    Third, most of Liu and Deng¡¯s armies were northerners and were not adapted to the southern climate.  Most of the Dabie Mountains are vast and sparsely populated. Sometimes the troops cannot buy food even if they have money, and it is impossible to adapt to life. The simplest example is to wear cloth shoes. Since it is rainy in the south, the cloth shoes often worn by northerners are not suitable for them.  They couldn't withstand blisters, and the soldiers were not used to wearing straw sandals, so their feet would often bleed with pus and blood. Coupled with continuous fighting, mosquitoes, poisonous snakes, malaria, etc., it was really miserable.  Under such circumstances, the non-combat attrition of the troops was large, and soldiers fled and rebelled from time to time.

    In addition, in terms of weapons and equipment, many heavy weapons could not be brought when crossing the Yellow River Flood Zone and were left on the road; even a considerable number of small and medium-caliber artillery were brought to the Dabie Mountains, but after the artillery shells were fired  After the light was gone, it could not be replenished in time, and it was also very inconvenient to carry in mountain operations, so it had to be discarded.  Therefore, during the battle in the Dabie Mountains between Liu and Deng's armies, they mainly used mountain artillery and heavy mortars, and their firepower was naturally incomparable with the original.

    There were not many annihilation battles, and there were not many prisoners. The local people did not believe in this team and avoided it. Naturally, there were not many supplementary soldiers, so the strength of Liu and Deng's army was constantly declining.

    In order to preserve their strength, at this time, Liu Bocheng and Deng Xiaoping had no choice but to command the army to deal with the national army and avoid fighting. According to the tactics, they avoided the reality and turned to the imaginary, hoping to seize a good opportunity and find a national army.  Weak troops come to eat them in order to regain their military power.  However, in this way, this famously victorious army has actually become a super guerrilla army.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
