    Facing the plight of Liu and Deng's armies in the Dabie Mountains, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China was also greatly worried. On the one hand, it ordered the Chen Su Corps in the eastern Henan, Anhui and Su areas and the Chen Xie Corps in western Henan to cooperate and support Liu and Deng in order to open up the situation in the Dabie Mountains;  On the other hand, a tenth column was organized, setting off from southern Hebei and northern Hebei, carrying a lot of funds and supplies, and led by the column commander Wang Kun to march to the Dabie Mountains in a mighty manner.

    The Tenth Column consists of three brigades with nearly 20,000 personnel. However, on the way, it also received more than 6,000 cadre regiments heading south and more than 12,000 injured and injured soldiers formerly under Liu and Deng's command, plus the troops transferred from the local area.  The accompanying migrant workers formed a huge marching column with a total number of more than 45,000 people.  On October 21, under the cover of the East China Field Army, the Tenth Column crossed the Yellow River in Fan County, Shandong Province; on November 9, under the cover of the East China Field Army's Eighth Column, it broke through the Longhai Railway.  On January 11th, they arrived in the Henan, Anhui and Jiangsu Liberated Areas where Chen Su's army had been restored; on November 15th, the 10th Column crossed the Yellow River and headed south, crossing the Huaihe River on the 27th.  With the cooperation of the National Army's reorganized 10th Division, they broke through the Xinyang-Huangchuan highway blocked by the National Army's Reorganized Tenth Division and entered the Dabie Mountains; they met with Liu and Deng's field army headquarters in Heban, Guangshan County.

    In fact, the 10th Column and the reorganized 11th Division arrived in the Dabie Mountains very close to each other, one behind the other, only a few days apart.  The 10th Column suffered heavy losses when it broke through the Xinhuang Highway blocked by the Reorganized 10th Division. At other times, it was basically smooth. This also shows that the national army was weak at this time and could not intercept it along the way.  , the deployment is also very passive.

    At this time, in response to the war in the Dabie Mountains, Liu and Deng's army had to adopt tactics of avoiding reality and avoiding the pursuit and interception of the national army.  Following the instructions of the Central Military Commission of the Communist Party of China, after repeated studies, Liu Bocheng and Deng Xiaoping concluded that the Dabie Mountains were not suitable for retaining too many troops, and decided to use internal and external cooperation to defeat the national army's encirclement and suppression. Therefore, they adopted the policy of dividing their forces for operations.  According to this policy, Liu Bocheng led the first column and the military region and Central Plains Bureau agencies to the area north of the Huaihe River for rest and reorganization.  The three columns remaining in the Dabie Mountains, under the command of Deng Xiaoping and Li Xiannian, adopted the method of dispersed activities in brigade units, and circled around the Dabie Mountains with the Kuomintang army.  For the newly arrived tenth column, they were ordered to go west across the Ping-Han Railway and go to Tongbai Mountain to establish a base area.

    In order to cooperate with the actions of the 10th Column, the Xianghe Column was required to cross the railway from west to east and contain the reorganized 11th Division at the northern foot of the Dabie Mountains. This is the reason why Liu Xinghua appeared in Xinyang.

    Liu Xinghua led two brigades of the Xianghe Column with more than 10,000 people across the Pinghan Railway overnight and arrived at the southern part of Guangshan County. At this time, the 11th Reorganized Division had also launched a search and attack on the Dabie Mountains.

    At this time, in the temporary headquarters of the column, Liu Xinghua, political commissar Xiong Zhuoran, two brigade commanders and main staff members were studying countermeasures.

    In the headquarters, Liu Xinghua has been smoking, and only the political commissar Xiong Zhuoran is explaining: "Our mission is to delay the enemy's reorganization of the 11th Division for two to three days, and create a way for our friendly forces to break through the Ping-Han Railway calmly.  Opportunity! This task is easy to say, but also difficult to say!"

    ??Everyone nodded. Liang San, the commander of the first brigade, smiled and said: "We only need to lead the enemy and walk in the Dabie Mountains for two days, isn't that enough?"

    Xiong Zhuoran shook his head and said helplessly: "Although your idea is good, how can we make the enemy obey our commands like cattle?"

    Brigadier Liang said: "Commissar Xiong, what can you do?"

    Xiong Zhuoran smiled, looked at Liu Xinghua who was sitting next to him, and said, "Old Liu, it's up to you to do the talking!"

    Liu Xinghua nodded, extinguished the cigarette in his hand, but was reluctant to throw it away, but carefully put it in his pocket.  Then he stood up, glanced at his men, and then said: "Commander-in-Chief Liu once asked me what I thought about the reorganization of the 11th Division before he assigned us this mission."

    "What did you say?" everyone asked.

    Liu Xinghua smiled, but asked them: "I want to ask you here, what do you think of the enemy's reorganized 11th Division? Lao Liang, tell me first!"

    Liang San said angrily: "This is our old enemy. Last time we were almost destroyed by their 118th Brigade. Although we finally broke out of their encirclement, our losses in that battle were too great."  It¡¯s serious, I¡¯ve always wanted to take revenge on you!¡±

    Liu Xinghua nodded and asked Brigadier Hua Feng of the second brigade: "Commander Hua, please tell me too!"

    Brigadier Hua was as indignant as Liang San: "I, like Lao Liang, wish I could tear this division apart."When the Second Regiment opened the passage, Xiong Kaiping sent Yao Yu's battalion to feint attack from the front, and sent two companies to bypass the Qishan Pass from the Bailu River six miles away and attack from the side. The People's Liberation Army on the mountain saw that the situation was not good.  Withdrawing, Xiong Kaiping achieved victory in just one morning.

    When Zhang Xian used his binoculars to see the evacuating PLA personnel, he shook his head, but ordered the 31st Regiment to pursue them with all their strength, which puzzled Xu Haibo and Wu Hua around him.

    Chief of Staff Wu Hua first asked: "Axian, now we have entered the Dabie Mountains. The division commander has repeatedly warned us to be careful. Although we have repelled the enemies in this mountain pass, look at this mountain, it is so dangerous.  , the mountain road is rugged and difficult to travel, even the baggage behind is so difficult to travel, but you let the 31st Regiment pursue the enemy with all its strength, aren't you afraid that this is a trick of the enemy to lure them?"

    Zhang Xian smiled, pointed at the escaping People's Liberation Army team and said: "This team is not Liu Bocheng's team, but the local armed forces of the Communist Party, just a militia!"

    Wu Hua was very puzzled and asked: "How can you be so sure?"

    Zhang Xiandao: "This team is far less tenacious than Liu Bocheng's teams. Liu Bocheng has fought with us several times. I know their soldiers well. Most of them are northerners. They have only been here a few months. They can fight on such undulating mountains."  Running so fast, unless you are a god! In addition, you haven't seen that many of these people are holding rifles made in Hanyang during the Northern Expedition. Such backward weapons can only be used by local troops. Although they have a few machine guns  , but they don¡¯t even have a mortar. It would be impossible for them to be Liu Bocheng¡¯s team!¡±

    Wu Hua and Xu Haibo both nodded, but Xu Haibo was still worried: "Even if they are guerrillas of the Communist bandits, if we take the risk to pursue them, we may be ambushed by them!"

    Zhang Xian shook his head and said: "What kind of ambush can these local troops of the Communist Army have? Haha, don't worry even if there is an ambush. As long as we follow up immediately behind the 31st Regiment, what can they do to me? Besides, before departure,  I have sent out many plainclothes scouts, but when they came back, no one found that there was a large-scale enemy force here. Even after asking the local fellows, they found that no enemy troops had been seen passing by in the past two days. I am just afraid that this  After the enemy escapes, there will be no trace, and it will be difficult to find the enemy's hiding place!"

    Xu Haibo nodded. Zhang Xian's analysis was not unreasonable, but he still said a little worriedly: "Our rear team hasn't caught up yet, will everything be okay?"

    Zhang Xian thought for a while, nodded, and then said: "Ten miles ahead is Jiuli Village, which is only ten miles away from here. You can stay there tonight, and you should be able to reach Baique Garden tomorrow. I think if there is really a main force of the Communist Army here,  If so, the enemy will definitely have troops deployed there. If not, then there will be no main force of the Communist Army here!"

    Xu Haibo and Wu Hua nodded at the same time, and Zhang Xian immediately sent an order, ordering the rear team to follow them as soon as possible and stay in Jiuli Village, ten miles ahead.

    However, the Thirty-first Regiment failed to catch up with the fleeing enemies. Bai Jingsheng came back angrily to apologize to Zhang Xian.  Zhang Xian knew that in this mountainous area, they themselves were actually foreign soldiers, and it was impossible to catch up with the locals, so he did not blame him, but just comforted Commander Bai, and then led the eleven  The brigade was stationed in Jiuli Village.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
