Division Commander Zhang deserves to be a battle-hardened general, but he did not take it seriously with the various worries raised by his subordinates, and said to them: "Although there is no water source here, our 47th Division can firmly contain the main force in East China here, isn't it beneficial to our entire battle situation According to the latest all, the closest friendly army to us is more than ten miles away, and the chairman of the committee sent a telegram asking us to hold on to Mengshangu and win the round of the large troops on the periphery and our 47th Division.
At present, judging from the deployment of troops, almost all the troops at their disposal have been sent to Mengshangu's side, and now I think it is the best time to realize the chairman's strategy of "flowering in the center and attacking in many directions."
It is difficult for us to hold our position on Mengshangu, and it is not difficult for those Zhou Wu who are attacking us on the opposite side to tell all the brothers of the 47th Division that they want them to take out the strength to fight against the Japanese devils in Wanjialing, Jiangxi, and firmly nail me to Mengshangu.
Tomorrow is the time for us to see each other, and victory or defeat will be in one fell swoop."
As soon as the officers of the 47th Division heard the division seat speak like this, they all shut up, and now they are surrounded by the surrounding Zhou Wu regiments in such a small place as Mengshangu, and they have to compare with the Wanjialing victory during the Anti-Japanese War.
Zhou Wu, who surrounded them outside, was nothing to do, and if they continued like this, they would definitely suffer a big loss.
These officers of the 47th Division all had a stomach full of objections in their hearts, but they were all taken by the majesty of Division Commander Zhang, and most of them chose to remain silent.
Now it is not a war of resistance against the little devils, all of them are their own compatriots Chinese, what is the point of fighting such a civil war, dying on the battlefield of the civil war, we as soldiers who defend the country have nothing to be honored Zhou Wu was also anxious in the forward command post at the moment, the fat man and Ge Sanmin and they had to storm the Mengshangu position several times in a row, but except for the casualties of a large number of soldiers, there was not much progress, the wounded brothers who were transported down were crowded into the military health battalion, Shen Lina and the comrades of the health camp have been rescuing for several days, but the wounded brothers are still being transported down on the forward position, not only are the personnel in the health camp urgent, but even the basic first-aid medicine is not enough, Shen Lina hurriedly reported to Zhou Wu, Zhou Wu had to order the fat man to send a team of brothers to escort the wounded to the field hospital of the headquarters behind, and called the fat man and Ge Sanmin all of them over, and carefully analyzed and discussed, why they repeatedly attacked Mengshangu, but the reason why they repeatedly failed to succeed is that we have to analyze and study it carefully, otherwise if we continue to fight like this, the enemy reinforcements on the periphery will arrive, and we will be the ones who will suffer The fat man rushed to Zhou Wu's command post in disgrace, Ge Sanmin and Xiao Zheng were also covered with soot, and they shouted when they walked into the command post: "Damn, the 47th Division is really not easy to deal with, Lao Tzu attacked eight times in a row, but they were all beaten down by them, the brothers suffered heavy casualties, and a few companies were lost, what should I do?"
The fat man's voice was even louder, and he said to Zhou Wu: "Don't we have an artillery regiment from the military headquarters, and the artillery regiment that the headquarters supports us, let Zhang Ercheng command these cannons, and bombard me on the mountain, I don't believe that the enemy of the 47th Division can still have King Kong's indestructible body."
Listening to the words of the commanders under him, Zhou Wu discussed with the chief of staff Elder Xu and the political commissar Lao Niu around him, and said to them: "Comrades, don't worry, let's discuss a way."
"Can you not be in a hurry, the enemy army outside is only ten miles away from the outside team, and some places have already begun to exchange fire, if you don't capture Mengshangu, it is estimated that the next situation outside will be dangerous" The fat man still had a correct grasp of the situation on this battlefield, and said to Zhou Wu and them anxiously.
It's no wonder that this fat man, his first division suffered the greatest losses in the battle of encircling and annihilating the 47th Division, just after the grass and trees were broken, he lured the enemy to cripple one of his main regiments, and now he returned to participate in the siege of the 47th Division on Mengshangu, and after fighting for less than two days, he lost two more figures, these teams are the old foundation of the fat man, seeing that such a crippled one, can the fat man not feel distressed and anxious "Haha, don't worry, the general offensive will start soon, comrades get ready" At this moment, the laughter of the commander came from outside the command post, Zhou Wu hurriedly stood up and ran towards the door, listening to that laughter, it was Commander Li They are coming.
"Comrade Zhou Wu, you played very well this time, firmly nailed the trump card of the Kuomintang to Mengshangu, created time for us to mobilize the surrounding large troops, attacking fortifications is our weakness, and we lack a large number of heavy weapons to attack fortifications, and it is inevitable to pay relatively large casualties, I also feel very sad, but as long as we attack the fortifications properly and wipe out all the 47th Division on Mengshangu, then our battle will be worth it, Lao Chiang's subordinates only have a total of five ace American-style mechanized divisions like the 47th Division, and if our East China Military Region can eliminate one, it is equivalent to cutting off one of Lao Chiang's claws, and it is also a very influential thing for the East China Liberated Area, and even the entire Liberation War, after four days and three nights of forced marching, the two armies of the People's Liberation Army on the Central Plains rushed to Mengshan here, and now here in Mengshangu, our strength advantage over the 47th Division has expanded to seven to one.
The 160,000 PLA troops are fighting against the more than 20,000 horses of the 47th Division, do the comrades have the confidence to launch a general attack on the 47th Division" Commander Li seemed very happy, the People's Liberation Army on the Central Plains came to reinforce in time, for the stalemate on the Mengshan side, it is undoubtedly a good thing to send charcoal in the snow, at this moment, whether it is the 47th Division that is attacking and hiding on Mengshangu or Zhou Wu, whoever can get reinforcements from the large army first, then who can achieve the final victory of this battle, the 47th Division's excellent equipment to this moment, He began to use radio to request the Xuzhou side, asking Commander Gu to increase the speed of material supply to the Mengshangu area, especially to increase the supply of fresh water, the brothers guarding the Mengshangu position have not been able to drink fresh water for two days, and a large number of dehydrated soldiers have appeared in the ranks, which seriously affects the combat effectiveness of the 47th Division's defensive position.
When Lao Jiang heard that the 47th Division had no water to drink, he was anxious, and hurriedly ordered the commander of the Air Force to dispatch all the air force planes that could be dispatched in Nanjing, Xuzhou and other places to increase the airdrop to Mengshangu, and at the same time, he strictly ordered the Li Corps, which had already rushed to Mengshan and was only ten miles away from the 47th Division: to catch up with the 47th Division at all costs, otherwise military law would be engaged As soon as he heard that the old man was anxious, he hurriedly opened his stance and attacked in the direction of Mengshangu, and before they could take two steps, they encountered a large number of PLA troops, and the Yimeng Mountains were full of hills, and the roads were rugged and difficult, and the Li Corps was also a mechanized team, abandoning the cover of those tanks and armored vehicles on the mountain roads, and most of the infantry got off the trucks and advanced on foot, In a whole day, the Li Corps only advanced one mile in the direction of Mengshangu, and there were many losses in the soldiers, and the soldiers below complained, and the officers did everything possible to prevaricate, unwilling to desperately rush to the front, so angry that the commander of the Corps Li shot and killed a few officers who were struggling, and shouted at the officers under him: "The chairman has strictly ordered us to rush to Mengshangu at all costs, and if the 47th Division has any three longs and two shorts, I will not be able to eat and walk around."
Before I suffer, of course I have to find a few of you to back up, if anyone doesn't want to be shot on the spot, give me the lead to rush up, break through the blocking circle, meet with the 47th Division, pass my order, which team is the first to meet with the 47th Division, the officer will be promoted to the third level, and the reward will be ten golds."
When the Kuomintang officers of the Li Corps heard this, they immediately came to the spirit, and drove their soldiers to charge forward, but the PLA on the opposite side was too powerful, no matter how the Li Corps charged and attacked, it was impossible to break through the blocking position of the PLA, and the Li Corps only advanced a few hundred meters to the front after paying the price of losing a brigade, so angry that Chief Li was furious, personally went into battle, and commanded the artillery to bombard the PLA position, and for a while, the artillery roared, The fire rose into the sky, the explosion smoke was everywhere, the earth and stones were jumping, the grass and trees on the hillside were ignited by artillery fire, and the fire was burned, scorching the soldiers of Zhou Wu who were sticking to the hillside to block the enemy's advance, facing the enemy who rushed up to the position in waves, the soldiers who held the blockade went forward to fight one after another, a company was gone, the battalion commander took the team to resist, the soldiers of the first battalion were all killed, the regiment commander took the remaining soldiers of the whole regiment to firmly block the position and continue to block, and the Li Corps finally had nothing to do, had no choice but to suspend the attack, and sent a telegram to Division Commander Zhang of the 47th Division, seven or eight miles away, asking him to support him for another day, and the large force of their corps would be able to arrive immediately t1706231537:
