Not long after the reorganized 11th Division arrived in Luoyang for garrison, the 38th Reorganized Division and the 124th Brigade also arrived here smoothly. The reorganized 11th Division did not stay in Luoyang for a long time. Ten days later, Hu Congjun was ordered to lead the reorganized 11th Division back. Zhumadian, and on the same day, the 38th Division was reorganized and sent to Xi'an. Only one 124th Brigade was left in Luoyang City to guard the city. But soon, the 124th Brigade moved eastward to Yanshi, leaving only one regiment in Luoyang. At this time, it can be seen that the insufficient strength of the national army at this time is actually at the point where it is stretched. In April, Chen Xie's regiment once again attacked Luoyang City. This garrison knew that it could not defend it, so it failed to defend and abandoned the city to the east. In the end, it was annihilated by Chen Xie's troops in the Zhanggudong area.
After leaving Luoyang, Hu Congjun and the 11th Reorganized Division did not return along the original route. Instead, they headed east along Longhai Road to Zhengzhou, then south along the Ping-Han Railway. When they returned to Zhumadian, it was already mid-April.
At this time, it was a critical moment for the reorganization of the Eighteenth Army. Taking advantage of the rare few days of rest, Hu Congjun seized the time to reorganize the newly formed third division of the reorganization, and at the same time sent troops to continue to attack the area between the Huaihe River and the Shahe River. Liu and Deng's troops carried out harassment. However, the Communist Party did not stop. After the Chen Xie Corps and the Chen Tang Corps of the East China Field Army won the Battle of Luoyang, they immediately launched the Wanxi Campaign near Nanyang, preparing to encircle and annihilate the Nanyang Appeasement Department's Wang Lingyun Reorganized Ninth Division and For the surrounding security groups and other troops, Bai Chongxi of Wuhan hurriedly ordered the reorganized 18th Army to send troops for rescue. At the same time, he ordered Director Zhang Zhen of Xinyang Sui Department to also send troops for rescue.
After receiving the order, Hu Congjun immediately mobilized troops to prepare for Western aid, but Fangcheng and Xiangheguan, the barriers to the west of Zhumadian, were already in a hurry.
In order to respond to the urgent military situation, Hu Congjun first ordered Zhang Xian to lead the reorganized 11th Brigade to rescue the siege first, and then he followed closely with the 118th Brigade.
Liu Xinghua was in high spirits at this time. Although his Xianghe column suffered some losses after the Battle of Liulin, it was far less severe than Wang Kun's 10th column, not to mention that he originally had a brigade here. When the Tongbai Military Region was established, Liu Xinghua also made a fortune. Taking advantage of the reorganization of the 11th Division to ask for help from Luoyang, he personally led the Xianghe column to attack Queshan, the military station of the Pinghan-Han Railway. After a day In the battle, Zhang Zhen's regiment stationed here was completely wiped out. What made him even more happy was that in the warehouse of Queshan City, he snatched a large amount of national army equipment. It also has more than a dozen heavy cannons.
In order to mobilize the national troops stationed east of the Pinghan-Hankou Railway in Henan Province to move westward to cope with the Suyu Corps of the East China Field Army, which was training in the Puyang area north of the Yellow River at this time, to cross the Yellow River south and realize the early strategic policy of fighting in the south of the Yangtze River, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China Only then did Chen Xie Corps and Chen Tang Corps be instructed to launch the Wanxi Campaign together. In this battle, the mission of the Xianghe Column was to be deployed near Xianghe Pass to contain the enemy's westward advance of the 11th Reorganized Division. The reason why Liu Xinghua's Xianghe Column was chosen to complete this mission was because of the previous battle in the Dabie Mountains. , this column was very successful in dealing with the reorganized 11th Division, and it had certain experience in fighting the enemy!
At this time, as the war situation developed, in order to adapt to the actual situation, strengthen centralized and unified leadership, and further expand the results of the war, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the Central Military Commission instructed the leaders of the People's Liberation Army at all levels in Henan and Hubei provinces and surrounding areas to rebuild the Central Plains. Military Region, and renamed the Shanxi-Hebei-Luyu Field Army to the Central Plains Field Army. Liu Bocheng served as the commander of the Central Plains Military Region, and Deng Xiaoping served as the political commissar. Chen Yi was transferred to the first deputy commander of the Central Plains Military Region. Chen Yi also served as the commander and political commissar of the East China Field Army. Also appointed as the deputy commander of the Central Plains Military Region was the former New Fourth Army. Li Xiannian, commander of the Fifth Division.
Today, Liu Xinghua's Xianghe Column belongs directly to the Central Plains Military Region. Although it is still a local force, it has already won the favor of Liu Bocheng. In many important battles, the Xianghe Column has also assumed very important combat tasks, such as this time. Task.
"Old Liu, our opponent is that Zhang Xian again!" Xiong Zhuoran sighed with emotion!
"Yes!" Liu Xinghua also sighed, but he looked very helpless: "If I had known that this little company commander would become my mortal enemy, I would not have saved him at all, and would have let him be eaten by the Japanese. It¡¯s dropped!¡±
"Haha, it was that time, but now it is this time!" Xiong Zhuoran said: "However, this Zhang Xian is extremely kind to you. It is not easy for a person to live up to his level!"
Liu Xinghua smiled and said: "Yeah, I just said a few angry words! But really, he is actually my savior! If the damn Chiang Kai-shek hadn't torn up the agreement between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, he and I would definitely have become Best friend!"
&nbIt seems that Liu Xinghua expanded too quickly. When he was the commander of the 118th Brigade to attack him, he only had 10,000 people. After the Central Plains breakout battle, he lost at least 4,000 to 5,000 people. ; The last time we met unexpectedly in the Dabie Mountains, I didn't see him having so many soldiers. I didn't expect that after moving to the west of the Ping-Han Railway, his troops would grow so fast.
"There's nothing to be afraid of!" Xiong Sanwa said: "The Communist army just has a lot of people and nothing else! I'm surprised, how can they recruit so many soldiers!"
What Xiong Sanwa raised was a very profound question. Zhang Xian couldn't explain it clearly at the moment, so he simply didn't explain much and said at once: "Yes, we don't need to be afraid that there are many of them. Haha, there are not many people." You can win!" After saying that, he asked Captain Qiao: "Xiao Qiao, is there any movement by the enemy?"
Qiao Shuqiang said: "They have set up positions on both sides of Xianghe Pass, obviously to block our Western aid!"
Chen Daxing said: "Since they are blocking us at Xianghe Pass, I think we might as well not go there and go to the credit store via Huangshan Pass. Haha, let their fortifications be in vain!"
"Yes!" Qiao Shuqiang also said: "Let's take Huangshan Pass and take the credit store to Nanyang. It's closer!"
Zhang Xian shook his head and said helplessly: "Commander Hu's operational goal is to recapture Xiangheguan and Fangcheng first, in order to block the western border of Zhumadian, and then move to Nanyang. The reorganized 9th Division in Nanyang also They are not weaklings, and Nanyang City is stronger than Luoyang, so it will definitely not be a problem for them to hold on to Nanyang City."
"Brigadier, what do you think?" Chen Daxing couldn't help but ask.
Zhang Xian smiled and said to them: "Of course I want to destroy this enemy, but now we are outnumbered, so it's better to be careful!" After saying that, he said to Qiao Shuqiang: "Xiao Qiao, we still need to Thank you for your hard work. Rush back to Zhumadian overnight and report the situation here to Commander Hu personally. I will also send him a telegram here and ask him about our next action plan!"
Captain Qiao agreed and left quickly.
Chen Daxing was still a little worried and asked: "Brother Xian, do you really want to eliminate Liu Xinghua's team?"
Zhang Xian nodded affirmatively. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
