On the night of November 15th, after the main force of the Central Plains Field Army captured Suxian County, it effectively cut off the connection between Xuzhou and Bengbu and completed the strategic encirclement of the Kuomintang Army Group in Xuzhou. At the same time, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China decided to accept the suggestions put forward by Liu Bocheng, Su Yu and others, and expanded the Xiaohuaihai operation, which was originally intended to eliminate the enemy Huang Botao's 7th Corps, to include the entire Xuzhou, Haizhou, Suxian, Huaibei and other areas. In the Great Huaihai battle. According to the considerations of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, this battle is an unprecedented scale battle on the southern battlefield. If this battle can be won, not only will the situation in the north of the Yangtze River be generally settled, but the situation across the country will also be basically resolved. . In fact, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China has made the determination to have a final decisive battle with the Kuomintang government in Nanjing.
On November 16, the Central Military Commission of the Communist Party of China decided to form the Huaihai Campaign General Front Committee with Liu Bocheng, Chen Yi, Deng Xiaoping, Su Yu, and Tan Zhenlin as the standing committee members, and Deng Xiaoping as the secretary to coordinate the campaign in East China. , all matters in the front and rear areas of the Central Plains and the Hebei, Shandong and Henan regions. At the same time, this arrangement also became an important turning point in the war for the Communist Party.
At this point, the grand Huaihai Campaign began to take shape. The Kuomintang and the Communist Party dispatched more than one million troops to compete on the vast Huanghuai Plain between the four provinces of Jiangsu, Shandong, Anhui and Henan. This battle truly became a decisive battle between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party!
The 11th Division struggled in vain for a day and a night, then turned back to the south bank of the Guohe River and deployed defenses outside Mengcheng. This made everyone very puzzled and cursed the orders from above.
Zhang Xian was also extremely frustrated. After arranging the work of each regiment, he took deputy division commander Wu Hua and chief of staff Pan Yang to the headquarters of the 18th Army. Here he met with Wang Yuanling, commander of the 18th Division, and the 18th Army. Army Commander Yang Tao and other senior generals rushed to the headquarters of the 12th Corps, which was already stationed in Mengcheng, to prepare to participate in an important military meeting chaired by Commander Huang Wei. This military meeting will decide the target behind the Twelve Corps at this time.
On the way to the headquarters of the 12th Corps, Yang Tao specially called Zhang Xian and Wang Yuanling into his car. While going to the corps, he discussed the gains and losses of the river-crossing operation.
Until now, Zhang Xian is still puzzled by Yang Tao's transfer of the 11th Division from the north of Guohe, and there are already some complaints in his words.
Yang Tao looked at him, sighed, and told him: "Axian, this is a decision made by the corps headquarters, and I have no right to change it!"
Zhang Xian was still a little dissatisfied and said: "Even if it is Commander Huang's decision, this is too infuriating!"
Wang Yuanling's face was a little red, and he said guiltily: "I can only be blamed for this, Zhang Xian. It was our 118th Division that held back your 11th Division. Otherwise, you too Your hard work will not be in vain!¡±
Hearing what Wang Yuanling said, Zhang Xian couldn't say anything else. After all, Wang Yuanling was his old battalion commander and they had fought together for so many years.
"Haha!" Yang Tao laughed bitterly, shook his head, and said seriously: "You two think too simply. Even if the 118th Division can successfully cross the river, this may be the result!"
"Oh?" Zhang Xianyu was stunned and couldn't help but asked: "Why does the military commander say this?"
Yang Tao turned his head, glanced at him, and said, "Don't you think this battle is a little different from the past?"
Zhang Xian thought about it carefully, then shook his head and said honestly: "I didn't feel anything?"
Yang Tao said: "In general, the Communist army has never fought against us, especially Liu Bocheng's troops. They have never been so stubborn and fought against us like this time. In the past, we fought against them, except for the earliest one in southwestern Shandong. Outside, when we get to the Central Plains, they always avoid us, but when we encounter them, they put up a little resistance and then retreat."
After he said this, Zhang Xian also felt something strange, nodded and said: "Yes, since the Dabie Mountains, we have been trying to find them to fight, but they have also avoided seeing them. This time it is indeed a bit weird! "
Yang Tao continued: "According to the corps' intelligence, we thought that the enemy's column on the north bank of the Guohe River was no more than one column. However, when we actually fought, we discovered that they were not just one column, but had as many as three numbers!"
"Yes!" Wang Yuanling also responded: "After the 33rd Regiment crossed the river, although they did not enter Huangzhuang, they encountered their first column, part of the sixth column, and the Xianghe column on the periphery. The troops, this is no longer an ordinary blocker, it can be said to be their main force!"
Although ZhangTo return to the past, the 18th Army must maintain its combat effectiveness! Haha, on this point, his and I have quite the same point of view! "
"So, the reorganization of the Fourth Corps has been ruined?" Zhang Xian smiled and asked.
Yang Tao nodded, but said somewhat helplessly: "This time, Commander Huang also disagreed with the division of troops from the 12th Corps on the grounds that a war was imminent and it was not appropriate to disrupt the combat order. The Ministry of National Defense has temporarily shelved this proposal, but Whether this matter will be brought up again after this war is unknown!¡±
"We shouldn't think too much about what happens after this battle!" Zhang Xian comforted Commander Yang.
Yang Tao just sighed and said no more.
At this time, Liu Xinghua¡¯s Xianghe Column temporary headquarters was located in Lucun near Banqiaoji on the Beifei River north of Guohe River. Lucun is located less than ten miles northwest of Banqiaoji, and Banqiaoji is the only way from Mengcheng to Suxian. It is only more than thirty miles away from Mengcheng and is also the link between Mengcheng and Suxian. At an important station on the road, the mission of the Xianghe Column is to hold Banqiao, cut off the Sumeng Highway, and prevent the enemy's 12th Corps from breaking through the Guohe River and then breaking through the Beifei River along the Sumeng Highway.
Wang Yong, the commander of the Zhongye Column, led several guards and rode to the temporary headquarters of the Xianghe Column. He came to express his gratitude to Liu Xinghua. If Liu Xinghua had not led his men to the Guohe River near Huangzhuang in time, As for the defense line, I am afraid that the enemy's 118th Division has also completed its breakthrough of the Guohe defense line west of Mengcheng and has joined up with the enemy's 11th Division.
Liu Xinghua certainly understands the purpose of Commander Wang Yong's visit. As a comrade fighting side by side, for him, it is his duty to help Zhongye Yizong defeat the enemy. There is nothing to say.
At noon, Liu Xinghua specially asked Wu Xiaoyang to catch a fish in the river to entertain his old friend. In this midwinter season, it is already a luxury for everyone to eat fish.
While eating, the two of them talked about the decision of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China. Wang Yong said with some emotion: "Old Liu, it seems that the Central Committee's ideas coincide with those of the two of us! Haha , this time we really have to make up our minds to eliminate Huang Wei!"
Liu Xinghua couldn't help but said with joy: "Yes, this is indeed exciting! Haha, but I'm not interested in that Huang Wei!"
"Oh? Who are you interested in?" Wang Yong couldn't help but ask.
"I am only interested in the enemy's 18th Army!" Liu Xinghua said leisurely.
Wang Yong was stunned for a moment, then suddenly understood, he pointed at him and cursed: "Old Liu, you are performing a sword dance at Xiangzhuang, aiming at Pei Gong! You are not interested in the Eighteenth Army, I think you are interested in that Are Zhang Xian¡¯s 11th Division interested?¡±
After he said this, Liu Xinghua also laughed.
Xiong Zhuoran on the side also laughed and said: "Our Xianghe Column has fought with the 11th Division countless times, but we can always defeat them, let alone our Commander Liu, all the members of our Xianghe Column." The soldiers were also suffocating in their hearts! Also, Zhang Xian, the commander of the 11th Division, think about when he was surrounded by the Japanese in a small village, or was it Lao Liu who led a battalion to move the tigers away from the mountains to move the Japanese? I saved his life by opening it. If I had known this, I really shouldn¡¯t have saved him in the first place!¡±
Liu Xinghua waved his hand and said to Xiong Zhuoran: "Old Xiong, what are you talking about? I saved him to fight the Japanese. If I didn't save him, I would be the Japanese accomplice! Haha, this moment and the other moment , to be honest, he has already done a lot to repay my life-saving grace! He also saved my life. If we talk about the life-saving grace, the account between me and him is already settled. No one owes anyone anything!"
Xiong Zhuoran was stunned for a moment, smiled awkwardly, and felt that he was too stingy.
Liu Xinghua turned his head and said boldly to Wang Yong: "Old Wang, if one day we have a decisive battle with the 12th Corps, I hope our Xianghe Column can come to fight the 11th Division. As long as you don't follow If I fight, I don¡¯t think anyone can fight with me!¡±
Wang Yong was stunned for a moment, already understanding Liu Xinghua's intention, but he shook his head and said without giving in: "Old Liu, I know that your Xianghe column has fought many battles with the 11th Division and knows them well; haha, But in the Central Plains Field Army, in addition to you and the 11th Division being old enemies, we, the First Column in the Central Plains, have also been fighting with them for a long time. When I was the commander of the Seventh Column in southwestern Shandong, I fought with them. Hand, that Zhang Xian was just a regiment commander at that time, and our ten regiments did not defeat any of his regiments. I still can¡¯t swallow this breath when I think about it. If we really get a decisive battle and fight the 11th Division, we Nakano Izong did his duty!"
Liu Xinghua was startled, but then he squinted and laughed again, and said leisurely: "Okay, Lao Wang, let's see who can win this task!"
"Okay!" Wang Yong also agreed! (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)??Okay, Lao Wang, let¡¯s see who can win this task then! "
