    The loss of Dawangzhuang was catastrophic for the Eighteenth Army. At this time, the Jiangudui position south of Shuangduiji had become the center of the storm and became a target that the People's Liberation Army could directly attack.

    An even more unexpected thing happened that night. During the fierce battle between the 18th Army and the People's Liberation Army in Dawangzhuang, a regiment of the 23rd Division of the 85th Army stationed in Xiaowangzhuang on the edge of Dawangzhuang was attacked by this  Shocked by the tragic battlefield, he finally wavered and surrendered to the People's Liberation Army.  This regiment's move caused a series of reactions from the 23rd Division, and it was natural for them to surrender to the People's Liberation Army.

    The 23rd Division was transformed from the Hunan Army and is very feudal.  In the double-dumping war, there is no hope of victory. Generally speaking, the 12th Corps is still mainly civil engineering, and the 85th Army always feels that it has been excluded.  The betrayal of the 110th Division made other units of the 12th Corps suspicious of the 85th Army. At this time, there were only one 23rd Division and a regiment from another division in the 85th Army. Wu  Deputy Commander Zhou led the headquarters of the 85th Army into the defense area of ??the 18th Army, and the 18th Army searched and guarded every person from the 23rd Division who entered and exited the 85th Army headquarters, which made them even more  They were so disgusted that they spread the rumor that Deputy Commander Wu was placed under house arrest by Chief Huang.  This speculation is not groundless. Commander Xiong of the 14th Army once had contact with the People's Liberation Army. Chief Huang heard about it and called Commander Xiong to the Corps Headquarters and detained him. In fact, it was a kind of house arrest until Hu Congjun returned from Nanjing.  , It was nothing wrong to support Commander Xiong, so Chief Huang had to release Commander Xiong and return to the 14th Army.  Since there is one, there must be the other, so for the people of the 23rd Division, it is very possible that Deputy Commander Wu will be placed under house arrest.

    There is another aspect that makes the 23rd Division very dissatisfied, that is, when distributing supplies, they always feel that Chief Huang is favoring other troops and deducting a lot from the 85th Army.  In fact, at this time, due to the limited supplies dropped by air, no unit had received sufficient supplies.

    The last reason is the most direct, that is, the commander of the 23rd Division was aggrieved that the Corps Command placed the 85th Army southeast of Shuangduiji and acted as a shield for the 18th Army.  Objectively speaking, there is nothing wrong with Huang Wei's arrangement when he is holding on. After all, he has to protect the core position. Among the 12th Army, apart from the 18th Army, there is no second unit that can play a core role.  .  If it is not the core force, other troops can only act as shields!

    Deputy Commander Wu Zhou was stationed in the 18th Army defense area in Shuangduiji. At the same time, he lost the surveillance of Commander Huang and others of the 23rd Division, allowing the 23rd Division to move freely.  Under the influence of various reasons, Commander Huang of the 23rd Division took the initiative to contact Shen Fengqi, who had defected to the People's Liberation Army before him. Such negotiations had been going on secretly. At this time, the battle of Dawangzhuang made all the 23rd Division  Everyone was frightened by it. After Commander Huang gave the order, no one objected and all joined the ranks of surrendering to the People's Liberation Army.

    The surrender of the 23rd Division caused the Eighteenth Army to lose its southeastern barrier and had to face the Communist attack.  To make matters worse, the Fourteenth Army located northeast of Shuangduiji was also at the end of its rope.

    On December 11, one day after the fall of Dawangzhuang, the People's Liberation Army's target shifted and aimed at the Fourteenth Army, which was gathered near Yangjiaweizi, four kilometers away from Shuangduiji. The People's Liberation Army directly attacked  The communication trenches were dug and moved closer from the east, north and west until they reached the outside of the main position of the 14th Army. The distance was only thirty meters away. At about 4:30 in the afternoon, as usual, there was a burst of heavy artillery first, and immediately after the artillery.  Then he launched a charge.  At this time, the officers and soldiers of the 14th Army hiding in the trench had already lost their fighting spirit. Seeing many injured comrades wailing around them, fending for themselves without food or medicine, how could they still be in the mood to continue fighting?  People raised their hands and crawled out of the ditch to surrender. Many people held PLA propaganda materials in their hands and raised them high. They also presented the preserved guns in accordance with the above requirements, hoping that the People's Liberation Army would do what the propaganda materials said.  Treat the captives the same way.

    The situation on the battlefield of the Fourteenth Army was basically one-sided. The frontier fortifications were quickly broken through by the People's Liberation Army. Commander Xiong also knew that the end was over, so he could only hide in the bunker and cry with photos of his wife and children. There were still people around him.  Some people tried to persuade him to surrender, but despite hesitation, he finally chose to be loyal to the party and the country.  However, when he just rushed out of the bunker, a shell fell from the sky and exploded next to him. Commander Xiong was killed on the spot.

    The Fourteenth Army was completely destroyed. Only the deputy commander Gu Bingkui defeated with more than a thousand stragglers, and was finally temporarily incorporated into the Eighteenth Army by Hu Congjun.

    At this time, only the Eighteenth Army and the Tenth Army were left in the Twelve Corps. Two armies were lost from the four armies, and the strength was reduced from one hundred thousand to four.To aim at the target, take a 45-degree high and low angle, then pull the fire and launch it. The maximum range can reach about one kilometer.

    For these gas bombs, Yang Tao wanted to split them into two, with the 118th Division and the 11th Division each getting half, but Zhang Xian shook his head and only wanted two boxes of twenty bombs, and gave the rest to the 118th Division.  .  In his memory, he still remembered the innocent souls who died under the Japanese poison gas when he was fighting with the Japanese. He didn't want to use this kind of thing to hurt the Chinese again. The reason why he left two boxes was just in case.  , reserved for self-defense.

    The Pinggudui position has repelled two enemy attacks. Due to the convenient terrain, the Huanggou River to the west has become a natural barrier. Even if the People's Liberation Army wants to use trench operations to approach this position, it is impossible.  , they could only use traditional cross-river operations, but were unable to break through the blocking firepower of the 11th Division. After several consecutive charge failures, they had to give up the idea of ??conquering Pinggudui.

    However, the direction of Jiangudui was already in danger. The 118th Division was attacked from both sides. The People's Liberation Army still adopted the trench operation method and stepped up the excavation of earth at the Jiangudui position. Their speed was very fast, and countless trenches were like long queues.  The winding path towards the front of the position was heart-stopping.  In order to break the enemy's trench tactics, Commander Wang Yuanling racked his brains and selected strong soldiers from each company. In groups of five or six, they took turns to launch attacks on the People's Liberation Army who were approaching for earthwork operations. However, they were quickly intercepted by the opponent.  The interception by the ambushed covering troops was unable to stop the opponent's construction at all. The trenches were now like ropes to tie up the dragons, trying to completely tie up the double stacked national troops one after another.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
