The cowhide was blown up, Hu Zongnan changed color, and ** sent Liu Huan's corpse.
The Central Plains is chasing deer, ** has been prepared. After a series of victories, the goal he set for the Central Plains is gradually being realized. By the end of 1947, our army had annihilated a total of 450,000 enemies in the Shandong and Central Plains battlefields, and successfully defused Chiang Kai-shek's key offensive.
At this time, the three-way army of our army had formed the shape of "Pin" and advanced towards the Central Plains. During this period, the mission of Liu Deng's army was particularly important, they marched thousands of miles into the Dabie Mountain, and completed a great strategy unimaginable to ordinary people.
Although the Kuomintang pursued all the way and Liu Deng's army was in the predicament of fighting without a rear, *** and *** still completed the task brilliantly.
Grandpa Mao's move, looking back a hundred years later, is still a classic, and this grand plan was planned by him personally. The war situation in the Central Plains has stabilized, under the control of Grandpa Mao, and the Northeast Battlefield has also entered a strategic **, and the situation is very good.
Although our army faced problems in the northwest battlefield, the situation faced by our army after the Battle of Shajiadian has been greatly improved. At present, most of the land in the northwest is still controlled by Hu Zongnan, and the rich Guanzhong, Longdong and other places are the best for soldiers, horses, grain and grass, which is beneficial to Hu Zongnan.
But the great victory of our army disrupted Hu Zongnan's deployment, especially in northern Shaanxi"Three battles and three victories", making a mess of Hu Zongnan's plan. What bothered Hu Zongnan the most was that his army attacked everywhere, but he could never find any trace of the Northwest Field Army.
Every month or so, the Northwest Field Army would suddenly appear and wipe out part of his troops, which made Hu Zongnan physically and mentally exhausted, and he didn't know which troops would suffer next.
This is Grandpa Mao's classic tactics, no longer fighting for a city and a place, but with the main goal of destroying the enemy's living forces, and after a long time, the enemy's advantage will be eaten away.
Of course, Hu Zongnan knew Grandpa Mao's intentions, but he couldn't do anything and couldn't fight it. After the New Year, Hu Zongnan didn't even go out, and seemed to be a little self-defeating. In fact, this was Hu Zongnan's ** to Chiang Kai-shek, because Chiang Kai-shek once again transferred his troops out of three divisions to form a new corps, and let Pei Changhui, a veteran of the Northwest Army, lead it.
Hu Zongnan could not understand Chiang Kai-shek's intentions, and he felt that Chiang Kai-shek no longer trusted him. However, Grandpa Mao and *** think that this matter is not so simple. Grandpa Mao pointed out that Chiang Kai-shek's real purpose was to let Pei Changhui's corps reinforce the Central Plains battlefield, and *** also realized this.
The overall situation of the Central Plains battlefield is not allowed to be destroyed, and it is time for our army to attack again. So, the next step should be to fight ** in order to drag down the enemy's army? There were many different opinions in the army, and Zhang Zongxun thought that it would be more appropriate to fight Yulin first, but this suggestion was vetoed.
* It is recommended to march into Longdong, this proposal is worth considering, but Grandpa Mao thinks that Ma Bufang's cavalry is too close to Longdong, which is not conducive to our army's mobile combat. In January 1948, Grandpa Mao held a military meeting in Yangjiagou in Mizhi, which was listed as a top-secret meeting within the party, and no one knew the content of the meeting, but the masses soon learned that the PLA was going to fight back to Yan'an. "
**For a while, the people near Mizhi regarded this as a happy event, and even the people of Yan'an began to pack their luggage and prepared to follow *** back to Yan'an again.
The cohesion of the people, the situation of unity of all people is indeed very gratifying to *** and *** and others. In fact, *** has no plan to attack Yan'an at this time, and he thinks that the time is not yet ripe.
In addition, the Northwest Field Army has always ordered supply difficulties, and if you want to solve this problem, it will not work without one or two rich lands under your hands. In addition, if you want to delay the support of Pei Changhui's corps to the Central Plains, fighting Yan'an will definitely not achieve this goal.
Since it is unrealistic to march into Longdong, the richest place in the northwest is only Guanzhong. **With this in mind, the plan to attack Yichuan, the gateway to Guanzhong, was put on the agenda.
** and *** have surprisingly consistent ideas, both of them see the importance of Yichuan, but *** and *** don't know each other's thoughts yet.
Hu Zongnan asked Zhang Hanchu how many people he found, and Zhang Hanchu replied that it was estimated that there were two regiments. Hu Zongnan said confidently, **Even if you want to fight Yichuan, you can't stop Liu Huan's 29th Army.
Zhang Hanchu settled down in his heart, but Hu Zongnan's next words made him break out in a cold sweat. Hu Zongnan said that the defense of Yichuan was personally deployed by the chairman of the committee, and the equipment was also specially approved by the chairman of the committee, and if Yichuan could not be defended, the consequences would be unimaginable.
However, Hu Zongnan did not know that the strength of the Northwest Field Army had reached 6 at this time50,000 people, and *** also let Luo Yuanfa's six columns divide the troops of two regiments to move to the south of Yan'an, so as to interfere with Hu Zongnan's judgment.
When Hu Zongnan began to shrink his forces and prepare to deploy defenses, Zhang Zongxun's first column suddenly marched in the direction of Yichuan, and Xu Guangda had also begun to move. This battle was a battle of wits, and Hu Zongnan finally lost to ***
Wang Yingzun, the commander of the 27th Division under Liu Huan, saw the true intention of ***, but he did not get Hu Zongnan's instructions, so he did not take action. Although Yichuan's city defense was strong, ** and Xu Guangda finally uprooted the enemy's stronghold and took control of Qilang Mountain south of Yichuan.
When Hu Zongnan realized that *** had launched an attack, he woke up from a dream, but it was too late.
Hu Zongnan guarded Yichuan, Zhang Hanchu was in a hurry, he begged Hu Zongnan to send reinforcements to support Yichuan, Hu Zongnan understood the importance of Yichuan, it is the gateway to Guanzhong, once lost, the army of ** can directly threaten Xi'an.
At this time, Hu Zongnan was still worried about one thing, that is, Pei Changhui's corps was about to reinforce the Central Plains battlefield, and if Yichuan was lost, this plan would fall through, and Chiang Kai-shek would definitely put the blame on him.
Hu Zongnan believed that Yichuan could not be lost, and he immediately ordered Liu Huan's 29th Army to go to support. Liu Jian knew everything that happened in Yichuan, but without Hu Zongnan's order, he would not have moved a single soldier.
Previously, the Battle of Qingjian was an example, and Liu Jian suffered a dumb loss because of his unauthorized actions. The momentum of our army's attack on Yichuan is huge, Hu Zongnan thinks that he has used all his forces to attack Yichuan, what he doesn't know is that he is now strong and strong, and he has set up an ambush circle in the direction of Wazi Street, waiting for Liu Ji's 29th Army to come.
The news of Liu Huan's departure made *** very happy, and our army's plan was successful. At that time, someone proposed: "If Liu Jian does not take the direction of Wazi Street, but brings support from Luochuan to Yichuan, won't our plan fail?" ”
** Categorically said: "Impossible! I know Hu Zongnan, he will definitely let Liu Huan go in the direction of Wazi Street, and he will definitely pass through Wazi Street! As expected, Liu Jian didn't think too much, he led almost all his troops to take a shortcut to Yichuan to support.
The terrain of Wazi Street is special, the whole terrain is in a depression, on both sides are towering hillsides, and there are as many as a dozen commanding heights on both sides. In just three hours, Liu Huan's troops were cut into three sections by our army, and Xu Guangda's third column had cut off its retreat, Wang Shitai's fourth column was blocked in front, and Liu Huan's 29th Army was divided and surrounded by our army.
Hu Zongnan naturally didn't know about this situation, because *** cut off all the contact channels between Liu Jian and Hu Zongnan. The most coincidental thing is that during the first round of our army's attack, it inadvertently blew up Liu Huan's radio station, and Liu Jian couldn't even send a telegram at this time.
Liu Huan didn't come to support for a long time, Zhang Hanchu almost beat Hu Zongnan's **, Hu Zongnan was also very depressed, could this Liu Huan still dare to disobey on the battlefield? According to Hu Zongnan's understanding of Liu Huan, he would never dare to disobey his orders, and Hu Zongnan decided to go and see the situation in person.
Hu Zongnan set out from Yan'an and took a company of guards to the front line through the direction of Luochuan, and after a day's journey, Hu Zongnan felt that his mouth was dry, so he stopped to rest at a tea stall on the side of the road.
At this time, not far away, there was an old man herding sheep who drove a group of sheep slowly, and this old man hummed an incomprehensible folk song from northern Shaanxi. The old man came to sit down near the tea stall, Hu Zongnan and the others were dressed in civilian clothes, and the old man naturally didn't know their identities.
Hu Zongnan said: "Old man! Are you going to **? The old man herding the sheep said, "Go to Yan'an!" I heard that *** is going to go back to Yan'an, so I'll go to Yan'an to have a look! ”
Hu Zongnan's heart was cold, this is a rumor from **? **Want to fight Yan'an? In fact, the old man was not going to Yan'an, he just kept an eye on it, and he was unwilling to tell strangers about his destination, so he bragged casually.
Hu Zongnan continued to ask: "The old man came from **? The old man said: "My hometown is from Wazi Street!" There was a war going on there, and we escaped! Hu Zongnan was a little puzzled, and he continued to say to the old man: "There is a war going on Wazi Street?
You're wrong! It should be Yichuan fighting! ”
**After the fall of Liu Huan, he personally came to the headquarters of the enemy's 29th Army. Liu Huan's body was blown up beyond recognition, and after pondering for a long time, he decided: "Change Liu Huan's body into clean clothes, put it back together, and then return it to Hu Zongnan." ”
Soon after, Yichuan was captured by Zhang Zongxun and **, and Zhang Hanchu, the commander of the enemy's 24th Brigade, was also captured by our army. These battle reports reached Hu Zongnan's ears, and he was already shrouded in panic when he was still halfway through.
He knew that the defeat in this battle would definitely not let Chiang Kai-shek let himself go. When Hu Zongnan returned to Yan'an, Liu Huan's body was there, and Hu Zongnan was deeply shocked. The things he worried about in the conversation with the elderly man have now become a reality, and he can't let go of it for a long time.
