Zhou Wu looked forward to a better life after the liberation of the country in front of the fat man, and the fat man was also moved when he heard it, and immediately said: "This is a good idea, didn't we eat food as soldiers just to have a peaceful world, if the whole country is liberated and there is no war, then of course it is good, we people have no other specialties, and we can only hide here by the lake, let Huang Shuisheng fish, let's just follow him" The fat man is quite good at using his brains, and he thought of the problem of the life of the future retirement.
This time, the Kuomintang army's large-scale attack on the Shandong Liberated Area ended with the annihilation of the entire army of the 47th Division, which broke the plan of Lao Chiang who thought that he could completely block the Shandong Liberation Army, and the Kuomintang troops on the front line in Xuzhou strengthened their vigilance one after another, and Lao Chiang withdrew all those troops from the Yimeng Mountains and placed them near the Longhai Line and the Jinpu Line, and instead focused on attacking the Shandong Liberated Area, changed to control the two railway arteries of the Longhai Line and the Jinpu Line, seized the cities along the line, and arranged heavy troops along the line of Lianyungang, Xuzhou, and BengbuWhen he could not blockade the liberated areas of Shandong, Lao Chiang restarted the old trick of blockading the liberated areas, sending naval ships to patrol along the coastal areas of Shandong and Jiangsu, blockading various seaports along the coasts, in an attempt to trap the East China Field Army in the area of Yimeng Mountain, so as to achieve the goal of winning without a fight.
At this time, there was good news from the northwest battlefield, the Kuomintang army that captured Yan'an had been driven out by our Northwest Field Army, and the enemy did not get anything cheap except for occupying an empty city, but the main force of his army besieging Yan'an in northern Shaanxi was eaten by the Northwest People's Liberation Army a lot, and lost a lot of elite troops.
In order to be able to keep this important industrial base in Northeast China, Lao Jiang gritted his teeth and sent two of the five King Kongs under his command to the Northeast Field Army to deal with the Northeast Field Army, in addition to the 47th Division that had been wiped out in the Yimeng Mountains of Shandong, In the hands of Lao Chiang, there are only two King Kong ace troops, considering that the location of Shandong, Jiangsu, Henan and other places is really important, close to Nanjing and other Gyeonggi regions, must be strictly defended, so Lao Chiang pondered for a long time, decided to send the remaining ace army to guard Jinan in Shandong, hold the Yellow River defense line, and the other ace army is mobile near Nanjing, and he strictly ordered the commander Du in the northeast region, if necessary, can Linji decide, first withdraw the two ace army At this moment, the Kuomintang general who was in charge of the defense of the entire Shandong Province in Jinan, Shandong Province was also a famous anti-Japanese general, Chief Wang, who had just been annihilated by the East China Field Army in Mengshangu The 47th Division had a relationship, originally he and the 47th Division of the Zhang Division were in a subordinate relationship, at that time in Jiangxi Wanling, surrounded a brigade of little devils, and almost annihilated them, this Wang Commander also had merit, and later after the outbreak of the civil war, he was sent to Shandong by Chairman Chiang, in an attempt to use the military command ability of Chief Wang to flatten Shandong's armed forces, Unexpectedly, the 47th Division was suddenly destroyed in Mengshangu, and the situation in Shandong was out of control for the Kuomintang army, and most of the rural areas in Shandong were in the hands of the troops, and the land reform movement had been vigorously launched, and the common people were more supportive of the leadership of the Communist Party, and the military-civilian situation between the PLA and the People's Liberation Army became more harmonious.
Hold those railroad lines and seaports so that if the situation worsens in the future, troops can be withdrawn from the sea and some elite troops can be saved for the party-state.
After the battle of Mengshangu, Zhou Wu's troops rested, due to the vigorous land reform movement implemented in the base area, a large number of ordinary people who got the land were very interested in joining the PLA, although they did not have much culture, but they knew such a simple truth, that is, if you want to keep the land in front of you, you must let your children go to join the PLA, otherwise, the land they just got, before the ass is hot, they have to be recaptured by the Kuomintang army of Lao Chiang, so, The climax of joining the army in the base area is coming wave after wave, Zhou Wu can even carefully select qualified people among the ten young people who come to join the army, these recruits have good physique, as long as they have a little training, they can quickly enter the battlefield to fight, so that these fresh blood quickly replenished Zhou Wu's troops, those wounded veterans took up the position of platoon and company commander at the grassroots level, and the overall combat effectiveness of the troops did not decline but rose.
Happy fat man's brows finally relaxed, now there is no need to worry about the problem of replenishing the troops, the commander's promise has indeed been fulfilled, it will definitely work like this, and the liberation of the entire Shandong region is just around the corner.
In view of the increasing pressure on the front line in Jinan, the Kuomintang army commander Wang who was guarding Jinan asked Chairman Chiang for reinforcements, and the old Chiang sent one of the five King Kongs, the 11th Division of the Ace Army, to Jinan to assist Commander Wang in holding Jinan and keeping the railway communication lines and seaports in Shandong.
Mobilizing troops from the railway lines of communication and the sea to fight a decisive battle against Shandong, once the northeast is defeated, they will quickly withdraw the two ace armies and other Kuomintang troops by sea, land on the coast of Shandong, and carry out counter-encirclement of Shandong The 11th Division disembarked in Qingdao by sea and rushed to Jinan by train, and this information was already on the table of Commander Li of the East China Field Army when the 11th Division had just boarded the steamer in Shanghai Port, and Commander Li immediately called Zhou Wu and asked them to immediately rush to the headquarters to attend a military meeting As soon as Zhou Wu received the call from the commander, he muttered in his heart: "Could it be that the enemy has any action again, to avenge their ace army of the 47th Division that was completely annihilated, or is our East China Field Army going to start a big operation?"
Zhou Wu came to the headquarters with Lao Xu with a nervous mood, the commander smiled as usual and invited them to take their seats, the meeting began, the commander briefly said the current battlefield situation, especially on the battlefields all over the country, our People's Liberation Army has won great victories one after another, the Central Field Army has highlighted the enemy's heavy encirclement, thousands of miles close to the Dabie Mountain area, directly posing a threat to Wuhan and the Yangtze River, the center of Kuomintang rule, so anxious that Lao Chiang removed several senior Kuomintang generals, In order to cover the actions of the Central Plains Field Army and reduce the pressure on their activities on the front line of the Dabie Mountains, the Central Committee asked the East China Field Army to fight a major campaign in the near future to attract Kuomintang troops in the Shandong area, and it is best to be able to annihilate one or two more Kuomintang troops.
Drove the Kuomintang army out of Shandong, stabilized the front line in East China, and supported the war situation in the whole country Commander Li said to Zhou Wu and them: "Comrades, the civil war has been fought for two years, and our most difficult period has passed, and the central authorities have asked our East China Field Army to open up the situation in Shandong and stabilize the situation in East China.
We have also fought the movement warfare of the large corps and large troops, and the Mengshangu Battle is an example of this movement warfare, but most of our commanders and comrades have never fought a tough battle, especially in a strong big city like Jinan, which has a large number of urban defense facilities and is heavily guarded, we have not even tried, and now the Kuomintang army is huddled in those few big cities with strong city defenses, and we will not fight him, and they will not come out, so it is a stalemate, and that is not a matter, so we will attack the fortified city this time.
First of all, start from Jinan, why start from Jinan, because Jinan guards the Yellow River, the geographical location is quite important, and it is also the Shandong Provincial Government Station, Jinpu Line and Jiaoji Line and other railway communication lines during the period, the transportation of the Kuomintang army mostly depends on these railway lines, if we conquer Jinan, then the Kuomintang army will not be able to gain a foothold in Shandong, our People's Liberation Army team has a railway communication line, then it can quickly rush to various places in Shandong within a day or two, It can even directly threaten Xuzhou and Bengbu, the Kuomintang heavy troop concentration areas, threaten their ruling center, and urge the Kuomintang reactionaries to engage in a strategic decisive battle with our PLA ahead of schedule; Xuzhou and other places have been the enemy of the battleground since ancient times, and our liberation of the entire territory of Shandong is equivalent to laying down a solid rear and granary for our PLA, which is of great and far-reaching significance to the liberation of the whole of China." t1706231537:
