When the brothers under the fat man saw that the Kuomintang soldiers on the train had disarmed and surrendered, they hurriedly stepped forward to surround the brothers who had laid down their arms, and said to them: "The brothers who have laid down their arms have come out, we are brothers, and dumplings are ready waiting for you in the back."
The brothers who laid down their arms and surrendered broke out into a burst of cheers, and followed the PLA brothers to the back, this time, the other soldiers of the 28th Division who stayed on the train to watch the situation rushed off the train and surrendered to the PLA team on the spot, at this time, almost all the remnants of the 28th Division under the commander of the division on the train surrendered to the PLA, only the commander of the division and a few adjutants around him were still on the train, but these adjutants did not want to surrender, Instead, he tirelessly persuaded Cheng Shi Commander: "Shizuo, you have seen it, the brothers under him have all gotten out of the car and surrendered, there are only a few people left, what use can it be or get out of the car and surrender."
Seeing that all his teams surrendered to the team that caught up, Master Cheng couldn't help but cry, and sighed to the sky: "Pity me for being a man who has been fighting all my life, but in the end I ended up like this, that's it, that's it, you go down and surrender first, and I'll come later."
Those adjutants refused to go, they had to get up and get off the train, last time at the Suxian station, the division seat almost pulled out a gun and committed suicide, this time he couldn't let him be like this, so a few adjutants stepped forward, took the division commander Cheng off the train, came to the regiment commander under the fat man, and said to him: "Report to the PLA commander, this is our division commander." ” When the regiment commander saw that the middle-aged officer in front of him was the commander of the 28th Division, he immediately became nervous and ordered his brothers to step forward and escort this division commander to the fat man and Zhou Wu for disposal.
When Zhou Wu heard that the advance force of the fat man's first division had captured the commander of the 28th Division, he hurriedly arrived in the captured American jeep, and met the fat man who was holding the commander of the Cheng division and they hurried over on the way, and the fat man said to Zhou Wu excitedly: "Haha, army commander, our first division caught a big fish this time, and none of the officers and soldiers of the 28th Division ran away, all of them were blocked by us, they wanted to escape by train, and they were also caught up by our brothers."
Thanks to the help of the local guerrilla brothers, the railroad was blown up, and the Kuomintang deserters were stopped. ” Zhou Wu nodded, and said to the fat man: "This time to conquer Su County, your first division has a lot of merit, and you have fought very well, you really should be praised, this Cheng division commander is still my old senior, how can you treat him like this, immediately untie him, now he is our friend, do we treat our friends like this?"
The fat man was stunned, and wondered in his heart: "When did this division commander of the Kuomintang army become a friend of our army commander, I don't understand this, the army commander's attitude has changed too quickly." ” But the fat man still hurriedly came over and personally untied Division Commander Cheng, and said to Division Commander Cheng while loosening the tie: "I'm sorry Commander Cheng, I don't know if you are here with our military commander or old classmates, how offensive, don't blame." ” Of course, the division commander knew Zhou Wu, in the Shanghai battlefield of the Songhu Anti-Japanese War, he heard that there was a very good independent brigade commander Zhou Wu in the 79th Army, and he resisted the onslaught of a division of the devil in Luodian, and later the independent brigade was broken up in the defense of Nanjing, and I heard that Zhou Wu withdrew to Jiangbei and threw himself into the New Fourth Army.
When Master Cheng saw that Zhou Wu treated him so politely, he said to him: "I have long heard that Commander Ma can fight well, a few years ago in the Jiangbei area, the Japanese devils were bitter, and when I saw it today, it really deserved its reputation, Cheng was your senior in vain, but he was defeated by your men, ashamed and ashamed." ” Zhou Wu hurriedly said: "Master Cheng's words are serious, your 28th division is not a crushing defeat under my Zhou Wu, but the dictatorial government to which you are loyal is no longer good, not that the brothers can't fight, why in the period when they fought devils a few years ago, the brothers could sacrifice their lives and die to kill the enemy, among them there are many heroes who can sing and cry, Admiral Zhang who died heroically in the Battle of Yizao is the best portrayal, we are all Chinese, we used to be able to cooperate together to fight against little devils and fight side by side, Why do you have to fight to the death for Lao Jiang's dictatorship now, you can't do it, you have laid down your arms, we are brothers and friends, we will do what we say, we will never go back on our word, you can rest assured that you can tell any scruples and doubts, and we can do as much as we can. ” Division Commander Cheng only changed his mind at this time, and felt that Zhou Wu was indeed sincere to himself, so he hurriedly said to him: "Commander Ma, we hesitated and refused to surrender to you just now, we do have our concerns, some of our officers of the 28th Division are still in Nanjing and Shanghai, and we are afraid that after surrendering to you, those spies will be unfavorable to our families, so we have not been able to make this decision." ” "This is extenuating, we understand it very well, in this way, please become a division commander, immediately take out a list of officers with family members in Nanjing, Shanghai, and other places, and we will immediately contact the underground party comrades there to find a way to transfer these family members of yours out, so that you can reunite with your whole family here in the liberated areas."
Zhou Wu said.
When Master Cheng heard this, he immediately nodded again and again: "This is good, I'll go and count it immediately."
With Zhou Wu's assurance, the worry that Master Cheng was hanging in his throat was finally put down, and with the efficiency of the underground party of the Communist Party, there was no problem in transferring some family members.
Zhou Wu successfully captured the main road on the Jinpu Road, Suxian Station, as a result, the two key points on the Jinpu Road, Suxian and Guzhen, have all fallen into the hands of the East China People's Liberation Army, the Jinpu Road on which the East China Kuomintang army relied on to supply mobile has actually been completely cut off by the PLA team, and the supply base of those hundreds of thousands of troops on the Huaihai battlefield is in Bengbu, south of Guzhen, Guzhen and Suxian Station were captured by the People's Liberation Army, and the railway was cut off and blown up, north of Bengbu, The supply of hundreds of thousands of horses and horses of the Kuomintang elite field corps in such a large area west of Xuzhou was cut off, and the news reached Lao Jiang in Nanjing, who was anxious and hurriedly ordered the Ministry of National Defense and the General Staff to hold an emergency meeting to discuss the situation of the Battle of Xu Beng.
As soon as the meeting began, Lao Jiang slapped the table and scolded: "What are you doing to eat from the Ministry of Defense and the General Staff, you actually let East China capture the two key places of Guzhen and Suxian, and it is my order for the Twelfth Corps to cross the Jinpu Line and go west to Yongcheng, the purpose is to go there to encircle and annihilate the lone team, as soon as the Twelfth Corps leaves, the surrounding two Li Corps should fill this gap, but the Twelfth Corps is about to rush to Yongcheng, and the two Li Corps have not yet sent additional teams to Guzhen and Suxian to fill this gap.
What's going on?"
The senior Kuomintang officials and generals below were so frightened that they didn't dare to say anything when they heard the chairman scolding, and Lao Jiang scolded him, pointed to Chief Bai, chief of staff, and said to him: "Chief Bai, this time the 28th Division was completely wiped out in Suxian, why didn't your General Staff immediately order the surrounding two Li Corps to send troops to rescue?"
As soon as Commander Bai heard what Lao Jiang meant, he put the responsibility of the 28th Division for losing Su County on himself, so he hurriedly stood up and explained to Lao Jiang: "Chairman, when Commander Huang of the 12th Corps wanted to leave some more troops to defend Su County, the commander of the 28th Division, who was reorganized, made his own opinion, thinking that relying on his division would be enough to defend Su County, but he never thought that the East China Zhou Military Department would besiege the 28th Division, which had only more than 10,000 horses, with a strength of nearly 60,000 troops in two armies, although the commander of the Cheng Division resisted desperately.
But after all, they were outnumbered, and Zhou Wu conquered Su County, in this matter, I, as the chief of staff, were responsible, but the two Li Corps did not listen to my transfer, and even now, they are still grinding in Xiao County. ” Chief Bai can be described as a treacherous and cunning, and he will take part of the responsibility, anyway, he is the chief of staff, and if he wants to say that he has no responsibility at all, it must be unreasonable, and Lao Jiang does not believe it, so he carried out the two Li corps in the southwest of Xuzhou and acted as a shield for himself.
Sure enough, Lao Jiang listened to Chief Bai's explanation, and stopped scolding, the two Li Corps are Lao Jiang's descendant troops, and this time they were directly under the command of Lao Jiang in the Battle of Xu Beng, if you want to say that Chief Bai can't move, it is inevitable, those two corps know that they obey Lao Jiang's direct orders, and they don't even buy the orders of Chief Du over there in Xuzhou, so what can Chief Bai do in Nanjing Lao Jiang sat on the chair and gasped for breath for a while, then stood up again and said to the generals: "Suxian and Guzhen have been captured, and the Jinpu Road has been cut off, and our five corps on the Xubang battlefield have no logistical supplies, and the situation is very dangerous, immediately order Commander Huang of the 12th Corps to quickly give up the enemy of encircling and annihilating Yongcheng, and immediately evacuate south towards Bengbu, and the two Li Corps and those teams on the Xuzhou side should not wander around Xiao County in the west of Xuzhou, and immediately retreat south along the west line of Jinpu Road, The two Li Corps immediately dispatched troops south to recapture the town of Gegu in Suxian County, and restored the Jinpu Line of Communications, and the Air Force increased its fire support for the Xubang battlefield, and at the same time made a request to the US allies, asking them to send large transport planes to transport supplies and ammunition to the troops on the Xubang battlefield, so as to ensure that the troops of the five corps could be withdrawn smoothly, and the Air Force Commander Zhou was responsible for this later transportation problem. ” t1706231537:
