"Commander Hu has basically agreed to the requirements of the battlefield uprising, and is very satisfied with the conditions put forward by your army, but he has a request, that is, he thinks that the conditions for the uprising are not ripe now, there are Kuomintang troops in front and behind the 96th Army, once the uprising at this time, it will definitely encounter a two-sided attack, so he hopes that the uprising can be done after your army captures Tai'an City or when your army hits the airport, so that the uprising can achieve good results, and it is also conducive to your army to quickly conquer Jinan City, the airport is the gate of Jinan, once opened, No matter how the governor of Jinan City resisted, it would be useless.
Lao Li hurriedly told Zhou Wu what Commander Hu meant.
Zhou Wu listened to Lao Li's words, thought about it carefully, raised his head and said to him: "Okay, Commander Hu's consideration is reasonable, you go back and tell him, we respect his opinion, agree with his suggestion, and hope that he can do a good job in the ideological work of his subordinates, and do a good job in the secrecy of the uprising, the contact between the two sides can be carried out through the encrypted channel of the radio, Lao Li, you run back and forth, it is too dangerous." ” Lao Li was very moved when he heard that Zhou Wu cherished him so much, and hurriedly said: "Travel, Li is deeply honored to be able to do his part for the liberation of Jinan.
Lao Li's will is very resolute, saying that there is no pressure to contact back and forth, and although radio communication is fast, it is easy to be monitored by the Jinan Station of the Military Command, and it is not so safe.
Zhou Wu stepped forward, held Lao Li's hand, and said to him: "Comrade Lao Li, thank you for doing good deeds for the people of Jinan, we will not forget you, so let's do it, for the sake of your personal safety, I will send two more capable brothers to escort you to Jinan, which can help you in your liaison work, and if necessary, you can also help you resist the military commander's agents."
"Zhou Wu decided to send two more brothers with extraordinary skills to protect Lao Li, now it is the critical moment of the uprising of the Ninety-sixth Army, there can be no mistakes, judging from the unfavorable situation of the fat man's first division attacking Tai'an City, if the Ninety-sixth Army can successfully revolt on the battlefield, how many lives of the PLA soldiers must be saved.
After sending Lao Li away, Zhou Wu quickly adjusted the deployment of the attack on Tai'an, the fat man was already launching a feint attack on the peripheral positions of Tai'an, and after a while, the fat man ordered the siege team to retreat slowly, deliberately letting the soldiers drop a large number of guns and ammunition on the way back, this situation was quickly reported to the brigade commander of the integrated 11th division stationed on the outer position of Tai'an City, this person's surname is Niu, graduated from the sixth phase of Huangpu, he is not very old, he has studied in the United States, and is proficient in English.
In the Kuomintang army, he also belonged to the kind of young Zhuang faction and the like, and when he heard that the besieging team had already fled on a large scale, the Niu brigade commander couldn't hold back his excitement a little, and hurriedly asked the team stationed in the outer position to pursue and drive the besieging team to the Yanzhou area south of Tai'an At this moment, the chief of staff next to Brigade Commander Niu objected: "The brigade must not pursue, I don't know if this force is a real retreat or a fake retreat, we don't need to catch up and beat us now, as long as we hide in the reinforced concrete fortifications and hold on, there is no heavy artillery and offensive weapons, as long as we don't take the initiative to attack, they can't help us, weapons, ammunition and supplies are not a problem, as long as Feicheng and Yamaguchi Town next to Tai'an are still under our control, there is no way to form an encirclement of us on the other side." ” The chief of staff analyzed the battlefield situation very well, Feicheng and Shankou Town are about to be on the east and west sides of Tai'an City, guarding the main road for Tai'an to enter Jinan, and Tai'an is the south gate of Jinan, there is Mount Tai as a natural barrier, easy to defend and difficult to attack, as long as these two places are held, the supplies will be continuously transported from Jinan, what is the defensive war, isn't it the later supply, there is a steady stream of late supply support, coupled with such a favorable mountain terrain, it will be difficult to conquer Tai'an.
But this brigade commander Niu had just won a battle, and someone poured cold water in his ears, he felt uncomfortable, and he said to the chief of staff disapplausively: "You are too timid, what kind of unit is our reorganized 11th Division, that is the trump card, the trump card army of one of the "Five King Kongs" under the chairman, I have long been fed up with the days of hiding in the trenches when I can be such an old turtle cowering in the fortifications as a turtle with a shrunken head, since it has been a large-scale rout and fled to the back, then we should take this opportunity to quickly catch up, Give full play to our mechanized maneuver advantage, surround and annihilate them" "The idea of the brigade seat is not impossible, but it must be supported by the left and right flanks and the friendly troops behind us, we will go out to pursue, we will become a lone army, the 47th Division that was there in Mengshangu was also outflanked in this way, the 47th Division is also a trump card, we have to learn their lessons."
This chief of staff can be described as loyal, and when he saw that the brigade commander Niu was going to pursue the fat man, he hurriedly pleaded bitterly.
"Fart, aren't there the four brigades of Commander Wang around our position, although they are not ace troops, but their combat effectiveness is not bad, is it possible that these four brigades are too timid, don't hinder me from making meritorious contributions, such a good opportunity to pursue, if you lose it in vain, you will regret it, now on the battlefield in Shandong, it is very necessary to have a hearty victory to boost morale, if we pursue and win, and will rush to the south of Yanzhou Surabaya, it is very likely to turn the tide of the battle in Shandong."
Brigade Commander Niu's self-righteous temper came up, and he could not tolerate the hard persuasion of the chief of staff who put forward his opinions, and insisted on sending a team to pursue and flee The chief of staff saw that there was no way, so he had to go, and the commander of the Niu brigade triumphantly ordered the three regiments under his command, with tanks and armored vehicles as the lead, to press up together, and drive the fleeing team to the south of Surabaya, Yanzhou, according to intelligence, the headquarters of the front-line commander Zhou Wu was ten miles south of the outer position, and the arrogant brigade commander Niu issued a reward order to the soldiers under him: Anyone who captures the fierce general Zhou Wu alive will be rewarded with 10,000 yuan in the ocean, and the officer will be promoted to the third level This is lively, Brigade Commander Niu's subordinates rushed out of the outer positions and pursued the fat man and their team, the tanks and armored vehicles were even more active, driving full horsepower, rushing forward vigorously, and soon left those infantry far behind, and the brigade commander Niu who found this situation also felt that the tank and armored car team was a little too much, and hurriedly ordered them to slow down the march, and so on The infantry who moved slowly behind, but the temptation of the 10,000 oceans and the third rank of the officer was too great, There is no way to stop the momentum of these tank soldiers who are eager to win, because at this moment they have already discovered the front commander Zhou Wu and their foreword command post, the white ocean and the hot official position are in front of them, which fool will stop at this moment The fat man who pretended to flee in front saw that the enemy was really fooled, and was overjoyed, and hurriedly radioed to Zhou Wu: "Commander, the enemy has taken the bait, and the ace brigade has chased it out, it seems that the momentum is very fierce, and the forward command is too far ahead, and it is going to retreat."
After Zhou Wu received the telegram from the fat man, he immediately ordered the fat man to stop retreating on the spot and move closer to the forward command post, and at the same time ordered Ge Sanmin's division in the west to quickly insert it into the back of the enemy who was chasing him, and the two divisions of Xiao Zheng and Huang Shuisheng in the east to copy up from the east bread to cut off the rear road of the pursuing enemy, scatter and cut their formation, and divide and surround them At the same time, Zhou Wu hurriedly took the men and horses in the forward command headquarters to evacuate to the south, deliberately leaving a large number of documents and things, the enemy's tank unit occupied this place thirty minutes after Zhou Wu and their withdrawal, and saw that the ground was full of scattered documents and telegrams, and the enemy tank officer who led the team immediately radioed to the Niu brigade commander behind: "Brigade seat, as you expected, hasty retreat south, is fleeing in the direction of Yanzhou, the forward command post has been captured by our tank troops, and it is a mess inside, You can see how panicked the fleeing bandit leaders were.
The commander of the tank corps was triumphant, and did not forget to add his own speculations and conjectures to the telegram sent to Brigade Commander Niu, and Brigade Commander Niu who received this telegram became even more confident, and said to the chief of staff: "Look at it, Zhou Wu has even discarded his own preface command post, so what are we waiting for until he takes a breath to beat us?"
The chief of staff just wanted to open his mouth to refute, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt that it was not cost-effective, the brigade commander had already decided to pursue, and it would be useless to say this again, and he would be scolded if he didn't do it well, why bother, his responsibility as the chief of staff has been fulfilled, and it is the credit of the brigade commander to do a good job, and if he can't be surrounded and annihilated, as long as he is smart, he is still sure of saving a small life, and he can't afford to fight with the brigade commander here, it's not worth it "Yes, the brigade commander is wise, it was my misjudgment that I was too timid, since this is the case, then do what the brigade commander wants."
The chief of staff simply agreed.
Thinking that he had finally waited for the opportunity to destroy the main force, Brigade Commander Niu immediately ordered the tank troops in front to continue to advance, and the infantry troops behind accelerated their march, rushed up, surrounded those who fled, and captured Zhou Wu alive After receiving the telegram from Brigade Commander Niu, the commander of the 11th Division of the integrated division in Jinan City, he felt a little strange, Zhou Wu's ability could not be like this, could it be that Zhou Wu, who had fought for so many years, had always attacked and defended all the battles, and was good at fighting positional warfare, became more and more timid, and could not withstand the attacks of those brigades outside Tai'an City, and fled in a hurry towards Yanzhou After all, Master Yu has dealt with Zhou Wu for many years, and knows that Zhou Wu is not easy to deal with, thinking that in Luodian, Shanghai, even the extremely fierce and cunning Sixth Division did not dare to underestimate him, how could he suddenly evacuate to the south in a hurry today, and he didn't have time to clean up the documents in the headquarters Zhou Wu is not acting or luring us into pursuit t1706231537:
