**The general is worthy of being the commander-in-chief of Huaye. His strategies and ideas are far beyond ordinary people, and he is undoubtedly the best backbone in Huaye.
Chiang Kai-shek suffered several losses in 1946, but still refused to give in. At the beginning of 1947, Chiang Kai-shek relied on his own strength to try to annihilate the main force of the first country, or force it to retreat north of the Yellow River and seize the liberated areas of East China. Therefore, Chiang Kai-shek transferred his staff Chen Cheng to Xuzhou, gathered 360,000 troops, and used Xuzhou and Jinan as bases in an attempt to seize Linyi, and carried out an attack from north to south, that is, the "Battle of Lunan".
Chen Cheng declared: "The battle of Lunan is related to the survival of the country, and it can only be won but not defeated. ”
The situation is serious.
Therefore, on 30 January, the East China Bureau and the East China Military Region respectively issued an order on "All-out Support for the Front and Strive for Victory in the Campaign" in the "Outline for Emergency Mobilization for Victory in the Decisive Battle of Lunan Province." On the first line of Lunan, there is a hot scene everywhere.
However, on the matter of Huaye's "decisive battle", there are different opinions.
Regarding the "decisive battle thinking", he has his own unique opinion. He wrote a "Summary of the Self-Defense War in One Year", in which he wrote:
The idea of war was a pathological reaction to the defeated peasants and petty bourgeoisie. They felt that if they didn't fight the last battle, they would just let everyone die. Blaming the superiors for not fighting, it is playing with life. Some comrades said that if you want to fight, you must also start from the main forces of the enemy, not the weak). They do not know that the enemy is strong and we are weak, and in a protracted war, the other side is willing to fight with us, and our capital is small, and once a fight starts, there is no way out. The opponent has more capital and more reserves, and it will suffer a big loss when it fights. In our policy, it is our policy to completely destroy the enemy's forces. Another important reason is that we lost confidence in our opponent in a string of victories, and he didn't realize that their opponents were strong and they couldn't stand a long fight. ”
* He continued: "There are always some strange sayings below, and we should not slack off on their ideological work. "A war, as I said, will take several fights to settle it. "This is bourgeois strategic thinking, a kind of formalist idealism. Every battle is the last, it's like eating a pear, and then cutting it and eating it piece by piece, if you swallow it piece by piece, you will probably hurt your throat and you will probably choke. It's like drinking tea, drinking it again and again will only suffocate people. After eight years of struggle, our war with Japan was finally won. ”
* Regardless of the situation, he decided to abandon Linyi and find an opportunity to destroy the enemy first, and then go to destroy the enemy. Then, after a difficult transfer, he led his troops to seize a favorable opportunity in Laiwu, annihilating more than 50,000 enemy troops in three hours, and winning a great victory. Chiang Kai-shek and Chen Cheng's attempt to plot the "decisive battle of Lunan" ended in failure.
* After abandoning the last battle, he turned to a long-term battle, which in the eyes of the enemy was a great move. Once, when one of the enemy's captured officers saw **, he complained to him:
It's not fun to fight with people, run when you want to fight, and catch you when you don't. ”
* The strategy is really remarkable. ** Afterwards, he recalled that when Chiang Kai-shek Chen Cheng launched the "Battle of Lunan", "At the beginning of 1947, the enemy army wanted to fight us, and we did not miss it. ”
