As soon as Yu Shiming heard Lao Jiang say this to him, he was immediately moved, and hurriedly straightened up and said to Lao Jiang: "Please rest assured, as long as you say a word, the students will definitely go to the soup and fire."
Lao Jiang nodded with satisfaction, patted Yu Shiming's shoulder and said to him: "Okay, you have worked hard, go and rest for a while first, and wait for my order" Jinan City was lost, and the entire territory of Shandong except Qingdao was still in the hands of Lao Chiang with the help of the Americans, and the rest all fell into the hands of the Communist Party, which made Lao Chiang very annoyed and angry, seeing that East China was about to go south, attacking the strategic places along the Huai River in northern Jiangsu, and directly threatening Nanjing, the center of his rule, Chairman Chiang could no longer sit still, anyway, there was no way to turn it around in the Northeast, and the several ace armies that were airdropped in the past were surrounded by the Northeast in several lonely cities, and it was a matter of time before they were encircled and annihilated.
Taking advantage of the fact that more than half of the main forces of the descendants are still in their hands, it is the most important thing to quickly organize a defense on the front line of Jianghuai and resist the capture of Jianghuai in southeast China, so in the spirit of Lao Chiang's instructions, the Kuomintang Ministry of National Defense immediately formulated a battle plan for strictly guarding the two Huai, consolidating the Longhai line, and preventing the southward movement, and they quickly mobilized a large number of elite members of the Kuomintang Central Army from Anhui, Jiangsu, Henan, Zhejiang, Hubei, and other places, and arranged nearly three corps on the east-west front from Shangqiu, Henan, Henan, and Lianyungang, Jiangsu, in the east.
The armies of the two appeasement zones, with more than 500,000 elites, gathered on the Huaihai front line to block the East China Liberation Army north of Xuzhou On the third day after Zhou Wu's troops conquered the city of Jinan, when the fat men were still maintaining order in the city and clearing away the remnants of the Kuomintang army, Zhou Wu received a phone call from Commander Li, in which Commander Li asked Zhou Wu to bring the political commissar and chief of staff and the commanders of each division to the headquarters of the East China Field Army to participate in the next operational meeting.
Zhou Wu thought for a while: Jinan has been taken, and almost all the entire territory of Shandong has been liberated, so where should we fight next, whether to continue to attack North China in the north, or to turn south to attack Xuzhou, these two places have a crucial impact on the situation in the liberation battlefield, and we really need to hold a meeting to discuss and discuss.
So, Zhou Wu hurriedly took the fat man, and they and Lao Niu Political Commissar and Lao Xu Chief of Staff took a few guards to ride the captured American jeep all the way to the headquarters of the East China Field Army that had moved to Linyi City, Lunan Province, which was already full of the heads and brains of the brother units of the East China Field Army, Commander Chen saw that Zhou Wu and they had arrived, and hurriedly met with Commander Li, held their hands and said: "Our heroes who attacked Jinan City are back, everyone is welcome" The army commanders and division commanders in the venue ordered to applaud and welcome Zhou Wu and them, which made Zhou Wu very embarrassed and hurriedly waved his hand to everyone: "The commander is serious, this attack on Jinan depends on the correct deployment and guidance of the headquarters, as well as the brave fighting of our army's soldiers to achieve victory, I just carried out the correct order, and I don't deserve to be treated so solemnly." ” Zhou Wu's modesty attracted more enthusiastic applause, the two commanders laughed and waved their hands to their comrades, and said: "Before the meeting here, let me talk about our Comrade Zhou Wu, everyone has seen it, Jinan City, a fortified city with strong fortifications and stationed with the Kuomintang ace division, was conquered by our Comrade Zhou Wu led the troops, of course, the uprising of the 96th Army of Commander Hu was an important factor in promoting the liberation of Jinan, but if there was no Comrade Zhou Wu's team to fight bravely and command properly, Can we conquer Jinan so quickly?"
"No," the commanders below replied in unison.
"Therefore, the troops of our East China Field Army will have the opportunity to study in Comrade Zhou Wu's team in the future, and learn how they can fight the tough battles in the big cities; with the development of the situation in the War of Liberation, in the future, we will also attack the big cities that are more solid than the city defense of Jinan, and I hope that the comrades can learn useful things in Comrade Zhou Wu's ranks, and in the future, when they attack the fortified cities, they can reduce unnecessary losses, and this is the purpose of my remarks this time."
The commander said to everyone.
"Commander Hu, you have the most right to speak, tell me about your own experience," the commander said to Commander Hu of the former 96th Army and now the 56th Army of the East China Field Army, who was sitting in the front row.
Lao Hu hurriedly stood up, and the commander hurriedly smiled and said to him: "Don't worry, take your time." ” "Brothers...
Commander Hu obviously hasn't adjusted his state yet, he still thinks it's there, and he opened his mouth to be a brother, which immediately caused a burst of laughter from the commanders of the PLA army in the venue, and the commander immediately waved his hand and said to everyone: "What's so funny, old Hu, you continue." ” Commander Hu then let go and said: "This time I fought in Jinan City, and finally let me see with my own eyes the strength of the People's Liberation Army team, Comrade Zhou Wu is indeed amazing, the level of fighting is much higher than mine, this is not my sycophancy, it is indeed my inner reaction, originally I thought that even if my 96th Army uprising can be successfully successful, but there are still several elite Kuomintang troops such as the 11th Division in Jinan City, more than 100,000 troops fully armed with American style, training all American-style, combat effectiveness and morale are higher than our 96th Army, If the People's Liberation Army attacks strongly, it will be the least for half a month, which is also the main reason why I hesitated when I first revolted, please forgive me for my selfishness, as the commander of the 96th Army, sometimes I have to consider the advance and retreat of so many brothers below. ” The commander nodded, signaling that Commander Hu spoke very well and could dissect his heart for the comrades to see, indicating that Commander Hu was a bright and upright man who deserved everyone's respect.
At this time, Commander Hu completely let go, and continued: "This time, our 96th Army was reorganized into the 56th Army of the East China Field Army in situ, which greatly surprised me, originally I thought that people like me, who had surrendered to the Japanese devils in history, the Communist Party would definitely not let me go, and would definitely settle accounts with me, but the facts once again proved that my concerns were superfluous, and the Communist Party continued to let me serve as the commander of the People's Liberation Army, which is how much trust I have.
We must lead the troops to obey the commander's command, and the commander will fight wherever he says. ” The commander hurriedly said: "You are now a PLA team, and you must obey the party's command. ” As soon as Commander Hu heard that he had just expressed the wrong object, he felt a little embarrassed, and he couldn't stand there anymore, at this time Commander Chen hurriedly interjected to play a round: "Lao Li, you have to understand that Lao Hu is a new comrade, who has just joined our team, and it is understandable that he is not right, comrades, do you say it?"
” Commander Chen has always been very funny and hearty, as soon as he said this, Lao Hu was not nervous, and continued: "The commander wants me to talk about the current situation in the East China battlefield, I think we can consider two directions now, the first is to take advantage of the excellent situation of the liberation of the whole territory of Shandong, quickly cross the Yellow River and march towards Hebei or Shanxi, and drive the forces of Yan Xishan and Fu Zuoyi out of North China, and the People's Liberation Army in the northeast has surrounded the Kuomintang ace army.
Those Kuomintang ace armies occupy only a few large cities that are not connected with each other in such a large northeast, and it is a matter of time before they are encircled and annihilated, and our East China Field Army can join forces with the Northeast Field Army at Shanhaiguan when we capture Hebei and Shanxi, and in this way, half of our liberation war will be won, and the entire north north north of the Yellow River will be completely liberated. ” When Commander Hu said this, he paused for a moment, he wanted to see how the generals of the East China People's Liberation Army reacted, and the two commanders looked at him with a smile and nodded to him frequently, meaning that you said very well, please continue.
"There is another direction, that is, to turn south, capture Xuzhou, control Lianyungang, liberate the plains of northern Jiangsu and central Jiangsu, drink horses on the edge of the Yangtze River, and directly threaten Lao Jiang's nest Nanjing, but in this direction, Lao Jiang must have to defend in order to keep his Nanjing, I estimate that the difficulties we encounter in this direction are much greater than those in the north into Hebei and Shanxi."
Commander Hu analyzed.
"Okay, Commander Hu has analyzed very well, comrades, you see, Commander Hu is a comrade who has just joined our East China Field Army, and he has already made such a detailed and profound analysis of the current war situation, and the analysis is very in place and objective.
What does this mean, this shows that among the generals of the Kuomintang army, there are many insightful generals like Commander Hu, and this time Jinan was conquered by us, not because the Kuomintang soldiers were not able to fight hard, but because of the command of the Kuomintang army and the blind command of Lao Chiang.
We must not be complacent after winning a few battles, thinking that we are very great and can conquer the world, this kind of pride and complacency, self-righteous thinking is absolutely unacceptable, and we must make a big basket, so I hope that the comrades present here will correct their thinking, and must not be complacent, the war of liberation is like the long march we have traveled before, and now that we have liberated Shandong, it is only the first step of the long march of 10,000 miles, and there are still many difficulties that we do not know in the future waiting for us to solve step by step.
Commander Li hurriedly took this opportunity to ring the alarm bell for everyone.
Since the liberation of the whole territory of Shandong, there have been signs of pride and complacency in the troops, and there have been several cases of taking the property of the local people, although those few people who violated discipline were shot to correct the law according to the battlefield discipline, but the commander saw the signs of arrogance and complacency in the troops below, and thought that it was not yet the time for pride and complacency, and even if the whole of China was liberated in the future, we could not do so, and Li Zicheng, the leader of the peasant uprising in the last years of the Ming Dynasty, was an example. t1706231537:
