Ge Sanmin listened to Zhou Wu's briefing and said to him: "Army commander, the headquarters requires our army to attack the enemy in Taierzhuang immediately after five days, I think there is not enough time, the preparation is hasty, the enemy situation is not clear is a taboo for soldiers, and our troops have just finished fighting Jinan, and they have not yet recovered, and some troops have not even made up for the soldiers lost in the Jinan Campaign, and the soldiers have not yet been rested, so they rushed into battle.
It is better to wait until we have figured out the general situation of the enemy in Taierzhuang, and the soldiers have rested for a few days before launching an attack. ” Ge Sanmin's opinion was agreed by the majority of comrades, and Lao Niu's political commissar and Lao Xu's chief of staff also thought that it was a bit too anxious to launch an attack on Taierzhuang after five days, because the soldiers had just finished fighting Jinan and had not yet caught their breath, and then they had to rush to Linyi after two days, and they had to rush to Taierzhuang a hundred kilometers away to attack the city after five days.
Zhou Wu heard these words of his brothers and felt that there was some truth, but he thought that since the commander had given his troops such a task, there must be something for them to consider, and the time was tight, which showed that this place was very important to the Kuomintang army, and from the map, it was true, Taierzhuang was the north gate of Xuzhou, once it was conquered by the East China Liberation Army, then the northern part of Xuzhou would be all exposed to the range of the People's Liberation Army's artillery fire, and the Kuomintang army stationed a large number of troops in Xuzhou, and Xuzhou was their command center on the battlefield in East China.
Naturally, it is necessary to take strict precautions against important places such as Taierzhuang, and two days ago we received information that an army has been added to the Jiawang area southwest of Taierzhuang, and it seems that the enemy is not idle, and has begun to detect that there will be a big move near Xuzhou.
Applying to the headquarters to delay the time of attacking Taierzhuang will give your troops two more days of rest and recuperation, which is good for the recovery of the combat effectiveness of the troops, but it will also delay the precious fighters, and the attack is fast, and only when the enemy is still unprepared or unprepared to suddenly launch an attack on them can achieve results, if you hesitate and procrastinate, although the combat effectiveness of your own troops has recovered, the enemy is also ready for battle.
In this case, why not follow the orders of the headquarters and quickly launch an attack on Taierzhuang five days later, taking advantage of the enemy's unstable foothold, to take them by surprise and be more beneficial to your own troops Zhou Wu said to Ge Sanmin and the fat man: "You all have a point, Lao Liu is too anxious, a strong city like Taierzhuang with a strong fortification system, if you want to capture it in one day, it seems unrealistic, unless the teams defending the city revolt, it is impossible to capture it in such a short time, our team has just gone through the battle of Jinan, and the soldiers need to be repaired, this is a fact, but the same reason, the enemy in Taierzhuang on the opposite side is also like this, According to the information from the underground party comrades, the Kuomintang army that is now sticking to the Taierzhuang area is the 208th Division sent out by Lao Chiang when we were fighting Jinan, and Lao Chiang originally wanted them to take advantage of our attack on Jinan Jiancheng, to come behind our backs, but I didn't expect Jinan to fall into our hands so quickly, which greatly surprised Lao Chiang's original expectations, so it was no way, and the 208th Division quickly retreated south and retreated to Taierzhuang, judging from the current situation, we still have an advantage here in Taierzhuang, The problem is that a unit from Jia Wang, not far from Taierzhuang, has formed a north-south horn situation with the enemy in Taierzhuang, and if we don't contain that army there, we will be in danger of being attacked by the enemy. ” As soon as the fat man heard Zhou Wu's meaning, he still wanted to attack Taierzhuang immediately, and hurriedly talked about it again: "Hehe, I said, Ge Sanmin, you are too, how to fight more and more timid We used to fight devils in Shanghai for a while, and we were a lot more tired than this, and I didn't see what our soldiers said Ah The commander is right, we are tired of fighting Jinan, and it's the same, they ran back and forth in the ravines and ravines of southern and northern Jiangsu several times this time, do you think they are not tired" The fat man turned over a little, As soon as he heard what Zhou Wu meant, he immediately said to Ge Sanmin.
Zhou Wu glanced at the fat man and said: "Lao Liu's words make sense, indeed the truth should be like this, I think as long as we can contain the team on Jia Wang's side, so that he can't come north to reinforce the enemy of Taierzhuang, then I think we will be able to attack Taierzhuang in five days, and it is estimated that we will be able to take Taierzhuang in two or three days, which shows that the troops responsible for containing the enemy in the Jiawang area must insist on at least one week or more, otherwise it will have an impact on the frontal main attack troops, Lao Liu, If your first division is put in the Jiawang area, how long can it last" Zhou Wu hurriedly asked the fat man, aren't you quite optimistic, then let you take a division to block a Kuomintang army in the Jiawang area, and keep them firmly in place for more than a week, can you do this work next When the fat man heard this, he naturally stood up and patted his chest and said to Zhou Wu: "No problem, you just said that it is necessary to hold on for at least one week, I think our first division is good at fighting positions and attacking fortified positions, in the Jiawang area, as long as there is suitable terrain, I guarantee to hold it for ten days."
The fat man is not bragging this time, his first division is in the team under Zhou Wu, it does focus on fighting positional battles, the last attack on Jinan, it was also the fat man's first division that bore the brunt, Ge Sanmin and Xiao Zheng and Huang Shuisheng They flanked to cover the fat man's siege, and the front was still completed by the fat man, although the fight was a little more fierce, and the fat man's first division suffered a lot of losses, but after all, it was the famous old Jiang's ace reorganization of the 11th division that guarded the outer positions of Jinan, and the will to fight was not to say, The 208th Division guarding Taierzhuang is a youth division just formed by Lao Jiang after the outbreak of a full-scale civil war, and the officers and soldiers of the division are all young adults under the age of 40, and most of the soldiers are young people under the age of 35, so it is called the "Youth Division".
Lao Chiang also carried out party-state education in these young divisions, and every day he asked those people from the Kuomintang party department to instill the party-state theory and propagate ideas to these young soldiers It's really far behind, although now there are only two big King Kong left in the hands of Lao Jiang, and the other three King Kong have been wiped out by the People's Liberation Army, the earliest is the 47th Division General Zhang who was surrounded by the East China Field Army in the Yimeng Mountains in Mengshangu, the enemy rushed forward, the lone army went deep, and was later besieged by the regiments on the stone mountain to eliminate, the second is Yu Shiming, the integrated 11th Division in Jinan City, although he did not die on the battlefield like General Zhang, disguised as a refugee and escaped from Jinan City and returned to Nanjing Lao Jiang, But this ace army reorganization of the 11th Division is completely finished, except for a small part of the escape, the rest were all annihilated or captured, Lao Jiang originally wanted to re-organize a reorganization of the 11th Division, but Lao Yu even lost the military flag in Jinan City when he fled, this number can not be re-formed, he is different from the 47th Division General Zhang who died in Mengshangu, Lao Jiang in order to inspire the will to fight, against public opinion, without the military flag to bring out, re-formed a 47th Division, And Lao Yu estimates that he will not get such a generous treatment, and by now, Lao Jiang has no ability to re-establish a fully American-style armed ace division, and the money is not enough.
Zhou Wu soon received information from the headquarters about the enemy situation in the Taierzhuang area, our underground party comrades are really powerful, they soon got the fortification map of the 208th Division of the Kuomintang Youth Division in the Taierzhuang area, at this moment Zhou Wu has put this map on the table, those staff officers of the military department have put out a sand table model according to this city defense map, the fat man and Ge Sanmin, Xiao Zheng, and Huang Shuisheng Several of Zhou Wu's capable cadres are surrounding in front of the sand table and listening to Zhou Wu's deployment.
Zhou Wu pointed to the Jiawang area on the sand table and said to the fat man: "Lao Liu, this Taierzhuang area is all plains, there is almost no favorable terrain to defend, we have returned to the Jiangbei anti-Japanese base area for a while, you have to be ready to fight to the death with the tanks and armored vehicles of the Kuomintang mechanized troops in the plain area, the enemy has mobile assault capabilities in the plains here, if the tanks and armored vehicles are used properly, they will pose a serious threat to the ranks and positions of your first division, do you have a way to block their attack?"
Zhou Wu looked at the fat man and asked him.
The fat man was still unconvinced, and hurriedly said: "Isn't it just a few tanks, didn't we capture those tanks of the 11th Division when we fought Jinan, bring them here, commanded by Lao Cheng, let's use tanks against tanks, I don't believe it, our tank soldiers can't beat those old soldiers of the Kuomintang army." ” "Lao Liu, don't be careless, you have to be cautious, those tanks captured in Jinan are still on the side of the headquarters, even if I ask Commander Li to send these tanks here, it is estimated that when you get here, you are already there in Jia Wang, you let Lao Cheng temporarily cram, and go directly to the battlefield to fight against the tanks of the Kuomintang army without forming a team for training."
Zhou Wu was very interested in the fat man's proposal, but felt that the time was a little tight. t1706231537:
