This time, the East China Field Army and the Central Plains Field Army joined forces to deal with the 12 Corps that ventured into depth, and naturally they were very confident; although the weapons and equipment of the 12 Corps were much better than their own, and their combat effectiveness was quite not weak, the PLA cadres at the venue were still very confident in defeating the 12 Corps.
At this moment, the battlefield situation has reached the point of meeting on a narrow road, and only by opening up can we defeat the enemy who is stronger than ourselves Commander Li waved his hand at everyone and motioned for everyone to sit down and speak, Commander Li pointed to the large military situation map on the wall and continued to the leaders of the PLA units below: "Comrades, at Shuangduiji in our southeast, the 12th Corps, the elite unit of the Kuomintang Army, has fallen into our encirclement there. ” Hearing that the commander was about to announce the combat mission, the leaders of the People's Liberation Army at the meeting hall all cheered up and carefully pricked up their ears to listen to Commander Li say: "The enemy's 12 Corps has a total of four corps, plus an independent division, a tank regiment, and more than 20 American tanks and armored vehicles.
The enemy is very mobile, and we must immediately start moving to block the retreat of the 12th Corps to the east, and I will give you a detailed assignment of the tasks of each unit. ” "The main strength of the 12 Corps besieging the 12 Corps is the five columns of the Central Plains Field Army and the six armies of the East China Field Army, plus two artillery regiments, with a total number of about 300,000 people, accounting for almost half of the total strength of our entire East China Field Army and the Central Plains Field Army.
Together with the rest of the departments to complete the encirclement of the 12th Corps, the Zhou Wu Department of the East China Field Army Advance Corps did not participate in the main attack task of besieging the 12th Corps, but advanced westward from Suxian County, built a blocking position near Yangshupu, blocked the 12th Corps' eastward escape route, and solidified the pocket of the encirclement, Comrade Zhou Wu's team is good at attacking positional battles, I believe that they can complete this blocking task very well, and Comrade Zhou Wu's team will not only encounter the crazy impact of the 12th Corps surrounded by us, Moreover, the back will also be attacked by the two Li Corps that came to the rescue, and the enemy will block the enemy on the back of the belly, and the pressure is not small, Comrade Zhou Wu, if you have any difficulties, you can raise them, and our General Front Committee will try to solve them.
"Commander Li gave Zhou Wu the task of their team is to block the 12th Corps from breaking through to the east, as well as blocking the two Li Corps that came to reinforce, this task is quite arduous, because Zhou Wu in this position must be besieged by the enemy's heavy army groups from the east and west, the encircled Commander Huang of the 12th Corps must desperately break through to the east and meet the two Li Corps, and the two Li Corps that came to the rescue must break through the defense of the Zhou Wu troops.
When Zhou Wu heard the commander's name, he immediately stood up and said to the commander: "Our team has made all preparations and worked hard to ensure the completion of the tasks assigned to us by the superiors, the current difficulties are mainly due to the heavy casualties of the troops when they captured Suxian and Guzhen, and they urgently needed to replenish the troops, and there was also a great pressure on logistics support, and we hope that it can be improved, as long as the logistics are guaranteed, we guarantee that we can complete the task of blocking the 12th Corps."
"Zhou Wu told the truth, fighting a war depends on logistics support, and the will to fight is of course very important, but if the brothers have not eaten or drunk for two or three days in a row, then the most vigorous will to fight and morale are also in vain, how can they fight with an enemy armed to the teeth without strength Commander Li listened to Zhou Wu's words, nodded frequently and said: "Comrade Zhou Wu's opinion is very good, it is indeed necessary to ensure the victory of a battle, logistics support is very important, we can't let the soldiers go hungry to fight with the Kuomintang soldiers with bayonets, and now that it is the early winter season, the cold wave is coming, our General Front Committee has already greeted the local comrades, and they promise to ensure that our soldiers are fed and clothed, please rest assured that as long as the people support us, the logistics support as long as the people support us, Nothing is a big deal.
With regard to the problem of excessive casualties among the troops and the urgent need to replenish the troops, the General Front Committee has studied and decided to reorganize all those Kuomintang troops that had revolted in the previous stage of the campaign into the PLA units on the spot, and Comrade Zhou Wu and his First Army of the Advance Corps will receive the newly formed 18th Army contingent of the uprising in the Jiawang area of Xuzhou, and the other units will incorporate the Kuomintang troops of the uprising in accordance with the actual situation. ” As soon as Zhou Wu heard that the commander gave the commander the whole of the newly formed 18th Army to himself, he immediately stood up and said: "With the team of the 18th Army, then our First Army will have the confidence to complete this task of blocking the 12th Corps, and we will promise to complete the task and never let the 12th Corps run out of our encirclement."
The total number of the Eighteenth Army is more than 20,000, in addition to the Lu Brigade was surrounded and annihilated by the fat man's first division in Xie Zhuang, there are more than 10,000 horses, and the weapons and equipment are relatively advanced, much better than the brothers in the Zhou Wu team, and the combat effectiveness is not weak.
After returning to his station, Zhou Wu immediately convened a meeting of his brothers to discuss, and when the fat man heard that all the troops of the Eighteenth Army were assigned to the First Army, he was so happy that he cracked his mouth and smirked, and hurriedly stood up and asked Zhou Wu: "Commander, our First Division suffered the greatest casualties in the battle of besieging Suxian, and we should be replenished first." ” Zhou Wu saw that the fat man was asking for men and horses from him again, so he said to him angrily: "Not only is your first division suffering heavy losses, Ge Sanmin, Xiao Zheng, and Huang Shuisheng are not easier than you, Ge Sanmin is almost glorious in the milling village, is it possible that it is worse than your old Liu."
As soon as the fat man heard Zhou Wu say this, he hurriedly shut up and said with a smile: "Ge Sanmin, they also have to be added, I just casually mentioned my thoughts."
Zhou Wu nodded and said to everyone: "Brothers, rest assured, there are so many people in the Eighteenth Army, each of your divisions has a share, the combat effectiveness of these Kuomintang troops is not weak, and the combat skills and quality of some officers and soldiers are higher than ours, but you can't just accept them in like this, you must treat them like your own comrades, even better than those old comrades in your own team, if you don't understand, you should humbly ask them for advice, don't be afraid of losing face and losing face, In this way, we can mingle with those brothers who have rebelled, and we can win in the future battles."
Lao Niu political commissar hurriedly picked up Zhou Wu's words at this moment, and talked about the unity of the troops, and when he heard this, the fat man hurriedly stood up and said to the political commissar: "Political commissar, we all know this, we will definitely do it, the battle is about to start, let's discuss the deployment issue quickly." ” Zhou Wu looked at the chief of staff, Lao Xu, who hurriedly stood up, pointed to the military map on the wall and said to the fat man: "After the general attack of the large army is launched, the 12th Corps will definitely break through along the Hun River to the east, we will block the enemy in the area of Caozhuang Ji on the bank of the Hu River, and use the terrain of the depressions and ravines around Cao Zhuangji to block the attack layer by layer, Lao Liu's first division is responsible for blocking the frontal task, Ge Sanmin's second division and Xiao Zheng respectively cover Lao Liu's flank, and at the same time guard against the enemy from the two Li Corps near Xiao County in the east and the direction of Xuzhou, The two Li Corps must not be allowed to cross the Hun River, and Huang Shuisheng's division is on standby in the Liu Zhuangzi area northeast of Caozhuang as a reserve. ” As soon as the fat man heard that his first division was in charge of the frontal blocking mission again, he got up again at that time, and assured Zhou Wu: "The army commander still understands my Lao Liu, and knows that our first division is good at fighting positional battles, and there is absolutely no problem in putting us on the front, and if the 12th Corps wants to break through our position, it has to stay for me."
Zhou Wu saw that the fat man was about to brag again, and hurriedly said to him: "Lao Liu, don't be in a hurry to pat your chest, those Kuomintang troops in the Twelfth Corps are not tofu scum, those four armies are all American-style equipment, as well as fire support such as tanks, artillery, and aircraft, when the time comes, don't shout at me, didn't the chairman say it, don't despise the enemy, you must make the most difficult preparations, underestimating the enemy is one of the main reasons for failure, we are now making up lessons and taking it lightly, we must take the enemy seriously" Zhou Wu hurriedly gave the fat man a vaccination, He knows that the fat man has as many advantages as his disadvantages, and if he doesn't ring the alarm bell for him, he won't be able to make the fat man poke out the big basket.
At this moment, there was a rumbling and thunderous sound from the northwest direction, and the fat man's ears were extremely sensitive, so he hurriedly listened carefully to the outside, and then said to Zhou Wu and them: "Commander, our general attack on the Twelve Corps has begun, and the big battle has begun, and we have to go into battle."
Zhou Wu also hurriedly shook the phone to the General Front Committee and asked what was going on with the artillery in front of him, and Commander Li ordered Zhou Wu to immediately lead the team to Caozhuangji, where he would build blocking fortifications to block the troops of the 12th Corps that were about to break through to the east t1706231537:
