    On November 6, just four days after the Liaoshen Campaign basically ended and Shenyang was captured by the People's Liberation Army, the East China Field Army of the People's Liberation Army located in the area north of Longhai Road divided its troops and went south, kicking off the Huaihai Campaign.

    According to the policy planned by acting commander Su Yu, the East China Field Army used more than half of its troops to assume the task of containing and blocking, and threatened Xuzhou from the north, south and west. In fact, it was also a plan to attack the east and attack the west. The main purpose was to win enough troops.  time to completely annihilate Huang Baitao's 7th Corps.

    According to the plan of the Central Military Commission of the Communist Party of China, in addition to annihilating the 7th Corps, they are also preparing to cut off the Xubeng section of Jinpu Road in order to isolate Xuzhou.  To this end, Su Yu formulated a combat plan. The East China Field Army planned to use seven columns to divide and encircle the 7th Corps in the Xin'an Town and Ahu areas; and eight columns to serve as blocking reinforcements, of which three columns were to advance from north to south.  Use the 13th Corps to contain and block Li Mi's eastward aid, and separate the connection between the 7th and 13th Corps; use the Shandong Corps to command three columns to encircle the Feng Zhi'an Third Appeasement District in the Taierzhuang and Jiawang areas to the north.  troops and promote their uprising; the two armies under this third appeasement zone have actually been under the control of the Communist Party for a long time.  After completing its mission, the Shandong Corps crossed the canal, penetrated southward to the area east of Xuzhou, and wedged itself between Xuzhou and the 13th Corps to contain the 13th Corps' eastward aid and prevent Xuzhou from sending troops to the east.  .  In addition, the Central Plains Field Army coordinated and commanded two columns to threaten Xuzhou City from the northwest of Xuzhou.  The main four columns of the Central Plains Field Army marched eastward from the Suixian and Zhecheng areas to annihilate the Fourth Appeasement District troops in Shangqiu, and then captured Suxian and cut off the Xubeng section of the Jinpu Railway to complete the attack on Xuzhou.  strategic encirclement.  At the same time, the Central Plains Field Army sent two additional columns to block the Huang Wei Corps that might come from the Zhumadian area on Pinghan Road.

    According to the combat plan, the East China Field Army prepared to launch an attack on the night of November 6th. However, when the troops moved before the scheduled time, they found that the national army was also shrinking at this time. This new change made all troops feel anxious.  Somewhat caught off guard, Su Yu ordered all troops to pursue the situation based on the latest situation.

    At this time, in accordance with President Chiang's policy, Liu Zhi in Xuzhou also took action, preparing to re-deploy the Xubeng section as the axis. To this end, the national army prepared to abandon Haizhou and Lianyungang areas, and the No. 3 troops originally deployed in Haizhou  Li Yannian's troops in the Jiu Pingjing District abandoned Haizhou and retreated westward, and transferred the 44th Army under their jurisdiction to Huang Baitao's Seventh Corps. Li Yannian led the headquarters personnel to also withdraw to Bengbu, and his troops were withdrawn by sea.  .

    The 7th Corps allocated to Huang Baitao by the 44th Army only made Huang Baitao pay a heavy price.  According to the original plan, the 7th Corps was supposed to move west to Xuzhou on the 6th. However, in order to wait for the 44th Army, Huang Baitao ordered to postpone the westward advance for one day. At this time, Li Mi's 13th Corps to the west had already moved.  , as planned, left the eastern part of Xuzhou and headed for the Lingbi area.

    The first unit that the Shandong Corps of the East China Field Army encountered when going south was the Third Appeasement District troops with Feng Zhian as commander. This Third Appeasement District had jurisdiction over the 59th Army, the 77th Army and other units. The 59th Army  Zhang Kexia, the veteran commander of the Army, and He Jifeng, the veteran commander of the 77th Army, were also appointed as the two deputy commanders of the Third Appeasement Zone at this time. However, these two people were actually members of the Communist Party who had long been hidden in the national army.  Underground party members, so when the East China Field Army approached the city, Zhang Kexia and He Jifeng led their troops to defect at the same time, and General Feng Zhian, the commander-in-chief of the Third Appeasement District, had to flee alone. For a time, the 23,000 people under the jurisdiction of the Third Appeasement District  The remaining officers and soldiers changed their colors completely, and the Taierzhuang and Jiawang areas were successfully occupied by the East China Field Army.

    The destruction of the Third Appeasement Zone immediately opened a hole in the defense line east of Xuzhou. The Shandong Corps of the East China Field Army was able to successfully cross the canal southward, cross Taierzhuang and Jiawang, and penetrate directly into the area east of Xuzhou.  Liu Zhi was panicked by this sudden situation. At the same time, he discovered that there were multiple routes of the People's Liberation Army advancing towards Xuzhou. He judged that the People's Liberation Army was trying to attack Xuzhou from the east and west. He quickly changed his original plan to withdraw to both sides of the Xuzhou-Beng section and decided to mobilize the second force.  The 13th, 13th and 16th Corps concentrated on Xuzhou at starry night to hold on to Xuzhou.

    The situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly, leaving no room for respite.  At this time, Du Yuming rushed to Xuzhou as the deputy commander-in-chief appointed by President Chiang.

    Just when the East China Field Army launched its offensive, the 12th Corps was also actively taking action in the Zhumadian area on the Pinghan-Hankou Railway. The transfer order from the Ministry of National Defense came with such urgency that no one had any mental preparation.  Although the transfer order only stated that the 12th Corps was under the direct control of the Ministry of National Defense at this time, and did not specify that it would be commanded by Xuzhou, it was only logical that it would be transferred eastward to the Daifuyang area and return to the Xuzhou combat order.

    Commander Huang Wei is also very worriedHe walked back to his seat and continued: "As for the wounded soldiers that Commander Yang is worried about, we can send the sick officers and soldiers, as well as the bulky machinery, luggage, baggage, etc., to the Wuhan detention center by train!"

    "What about our supplies on the road?" Yang Tao couldn't help but asked again.

    Huang Weidao: "This problem is really troublesome. There is no military station of ours between here and Fuyang, so we have no supplies at all and can only rely on ourselves." He said, then thought about it and said: "I think this can be done.  At that time, I asked the car battalion and the baggage troops to carry as much food and ammunition as possible with the army to meet temporary needs! I think we should not have a big battle in this range!"

    Listening to Huang Wei's eloquent answer, Zhang Xian also nodded. Indeed, this Chief Huang still has a certain mind. When he received the transfer order from the Ministry of National Defense, he also thought about it and must have put his  Difficulties have also been dealt with before he can answer Commander Yang Tao's doubts so quickly. However, in any case, this commander is not a simple-minded guy, and he still has certain combat experience.

    Seeing that everyone stopped talking, Huang Wei asked again: "Does anyone else have any questions?" He said, deliberately looking at Zhang Xian sitting next to Yang Tao, and asked with a smile: "Mr. Zhang, back then  When Deputy Commander Hu left, he told me that when the war comes, if I ask you for advice, there will always be unexpected results. Haha, do you have any good suggestions?"

    Zhang Xian's face couldn't help but blush, and he said humbly: "Sir, you are making fun of me. How can I, a junior, dare to take on such a big responsibility!"

    "Haha, please tell me if you have any opinions!" Deputy Commander Wu also smiled and encouraged him.

    Zhang Xian thought for a moment, nodded, stood up and said: "Now that the military situation is urgent, the commander decided to take action tomorrow because it is urgent to go to the peak. It should be like this." Huang Wei smiled, obviously loving this sentence very much.  listen.  Zhang Xian changed the topic and said: "It's just, Junzuo, I feel that such a big operation must be carried out by superiors and subordinates, and the officers and soldiers of each unit and the following regiments, battalions, and companies must be mobilized and explained.  To boost everyone¡¯s morale.¡±

    "Is this necessary?" Huang Wei frowned and asked disapprovingly.

    Zhang Xian smiled and said: "Haha, our 12th Corps was newly formed not long ago. The last time we cooperated with Nanyang to fight, we failed. This time it seems that we are really going to fight a big war. If cadres at all levels below the army and division commanders are against  Unclear operational policy will seriously affect the effectiveness of our operations. In addition, the middle and lower-level backbones of various departments have few opportunities to interact with each other, so there are many gaps. If this is not explained, I am afraid that this gap will deepen.  .Furthermore, most of the family members of the officers of our Corps live in Wuhan. This time the combat area is changed, we should make it clear to everyone. Many people are burdened by their families. If we don't explain clearly, I'm afraid everyone will be emotionally disturbed.  Very uneasy!¡±

    Deputy Commander Wu, Yang Tao and others nodded one after another. What Zhang Xian mentioned was to boost everyone's morale so as to eliminate everyone's misunderstanding.

    Huang Wei thought for a moment, nodded, then shook his head and said: "Mr. Zhang, although your proposal is good, it just requires everyone to hold a mobilization meeting, and you have to wait for another one or two days. There is no time at all.  It¡¯s not allowed. Let¡¯s wait until the corps arrives in Fuyang to discuss this mobilization meeting!¡±

    Zhang Xian was stunned and wanted to say something, but Wang Yuanling beside him pulled him in private. He immediately understood and saw that Chief Huang's face didn't look good at this time, so he had no choice but to ask the next person  He swallowed what he said, sat down again, and said nothing again!  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
