When Lao Jiang in Nanjing heard that the 12th Corps was surrounded by East China in the Shuangduiji area south of Yongcheng, he was so anxious that he didn't even hold a military meeting, and sent a telegram directly to Commander Du in the area of Xiao County, west of Xuzhou, asking him to immediately send a team to rescue the 12th Corps, and at the same time ordered the Liangli Corps east of Suxian to immediately move westward to recapture Suxian and rescue the 12th Corps Lao Jiang is in a hurry to catch fire, no wonder he, the Twelfth Corps was newly formed by him just three months ago, and the teams in the Corps are all first-class elites in the team, not only well-armed, but also well-trained, and very strong in combat, if this is eaten by East China on the battlefield of Xu Beng, it is not equivalent to asking for Lao Jiang's old life, and this time he will have to save the Twelfth Corps Lao Jiang's telegram was sent to Chief Du in Xiao County, which made Chief Du cry and laugh, and he had said that he had retreated, but now because the 12th Corps was greedy for merit and was surrounded by a large army, it was going to change the campaign plan, and the most taboo on the battlefield was to change the order every day, and it was repeatedly tossed, so many teams now have to temporarily change their plans, and it seems that the morale of the troops will be affected again.
Chief Du hesitated, sighed, and the chief of staff beside him looked at it and hurriedly said to him: "Chief Du, I think it's better to follow the order of the chairman, the 12th Corps is the ace elite, the chairman's heart, in case it is surrounded and wiped out by East China, it won't work, although the general will not be subject to the king's life outside, but you also know the temper of the chairman, and the end of not obeying his orders is not good." ” Chief Du listened to the words of the chief of staff, and nodded frequently and said yes, as a student and old subordinate of the chairman, since the beginning of the Eastern Expedition Chen Jiongming, he has been calling, he has a good understanding of the chairman's temper, and knows the character of the chairman, so although he is extremely dissatisfied with the chairman's order to temporarily change his plan and withdraw troops to rescue the 12th Corps, he still ordered his three corps to quickly move towards the southwest near Shuangduiji, At the same time, a telegram was sent to the two Li Corps next to it, asking them to capture the node Su County on the Jinpu Road at all costs and move closer to the vicinity of Shuangduiji This time the two Li Corps had no choice, Lao Jiang personally ordered them to turn westward, capture Su County, and move closer to Shuangduiji, when Commander Du's telegram was sent to them, a forward division of the Liang Li Corps had already set off and rushed to Dahe Town, which was only twenty miles away from Su County, at this speed, the Liang Li Corps could quickly rush to Caozhuangji near Shuangduiji four days later, and Zhou Wu's main force was waiting for their arrival there.
Lao Jiang hurriedly sent a telegram to Commander Huang, asking him to rely on the superior weapons and equipment of the team, take advantage of the terrain of Shuangduiji, build a tight fortification, and wait for reinforcements Commander Huang received a telegram from Lao Jiang, and his heart was relieved a lot, after all, there were more than 100,000 men and horses under his command, and the weapons and equipment were many times better than those encircled, and there were many terrain and ravines around Shuangduiji, which was extremely suitable for positional defense, as long as he could be calm and not impatient, there should be no problem in guarding here for ten days and half a month, and the chairman of the committee had promised to use all the planes of the Air Force to support himself, so that the food and ammunition materials would be guaranteed, and I would not panic if I had food in my heart.
Let's see what those who come up can do to our 12th Corps After receiving this information, Huang Shuisheng immediately sent a telegram to Zhou Wu, asking Zhou Wu to analyze what the enemy was trying to do When Zhou Wu saw it, he felt that it was the two Li Corps around Suxian that had come over, and they were coming to rescue the 12th Corps that was besieged in Shuangduiji, and in order to rescue the 12th Corps, the enemy must capture Suxian and restore the Jinpu Road transportation line, so as to ensure the supply of materials for the hundreds of thousands of Kuomintang troops gathered in the vicinity of Jinpu Road.
Now it seems that in Su County, Huang Shuisheng's pressure is quite great, Zhou Wu is worried that with Huang Shuisheng's division, it will be difficult to defend the county, rather than fighting with the dominant two Li Corps in Su County, it is better to take the initiative to abandon Su County, let Huang Shuisheng and them destroy the railways along the line, and attack and harass the two Li Corps everywhere It is reliable, so that it can not only slow down the westward advance of the Liang Li Corps, but also destroy the enemy's Jinpu Road transportation line, as long as it can be before the PLA forces encircle and annihilate the 12th Corps, Blocking these large enemy forces that rushed to reinforce to the east of Caozhuangji would be a victory, even if all the troops of his first army were exhausted Zhou Wu hurriedly sent a telegram to Commander Li about his intentions, and the commander immediately replied, agreeing to Zhou Wu's plan of retreating as advance, and fighting hard with the two Li Corps, which had an advantage in both quantity and quality, in Su County, not only had to pay a huge price, maybe Huang Shuisheng's one was exhausted, and he might not be able to defend the county, so it was better to take the initiative to retreat, lure the enemy deep, and harass and attack the enemy to be reliable.
Fighting positional warfare with an enemy who is superior in numbers and far superior in weapons and equipment is not our strong point, but it is our forte to outflank, harass and attack, and wait for an opportunity to destroy the enemy in the movement Zhou Wu immediately sent a telegram demanding that Huang Shuisheng quickly destroy the railways and roads around Su County, and all the troops should withdraw to the west, abandon Su County, lure the enemy into the depths, and harass and attack the enemy during the movement.
After Huang Shuisheng received Zhou Wu's order, he immediately sent a team to blow up all the railways and highways around Su County, and asked his brothers to plant mines along the railway line and on the side of the highway, and let the soldiers take all the military supplies piled up in the warehouse of the Su County Railway Station with them.
As soon as the forward division of the Liangli Corps saw that a huge explosion sounded in Suxian County, and the smoke reached into the sky, and it could be seen clearly from 20 miles away, he hurriedly reported to his superiors: "There is a big explosion in Suxian County, it is estimated that it was done, our team has rushed to the outside of Suxian County, what should we do next?"
The Li Mi Corps in the two Li Corps is very strong in combat effectiveness, once fought with the Japanese army on the Songshan front line in Yunnan, is the old subordinate of Commander Du in the expeditionary force at that time, good at tackling tough battles, when he received a telegram from his division commander asking where there was an explosion in Su County, what should the troops do next, Li Mi immediately ordered the corps to press up, conquer Su County, and then say, the explosion was to blow up the weapons and ammunition left behind when evacuating Su County, capture Su County, and quickly advance westward, Rushing to the double stack is the main combat mission of the current corps.
Li Mi's forward division quickly caught up with Su County, and sure enough, as Li Mi expected, they successfully captured Su County without encountering resistance, but after entering, Li Mi's subordinate division commander was dumbfounded, the Su County Railway Station had been blown up, there was no longer a single track on the railway along the line, and all the mines were planted around the highway.
When Li Mi arrived at Suxian with a large army of the corps, it was already the morning of the third day, and when he found that the Suxian station no longer existed, he scolded the forward division commander under his command: "Rice bucket, why don't you immediately pursue it, and here in Suxian for three days in vain, you must know that you are good at guerrilla warfare, and in these three days, I don't know where those are hiding and waiting for us to drill."
The division commander was so frightened that he didn't dare to come out, so he had to listen to Li Mi's scolding, and after Li Mi scolded him, he hurriedly ordered the team to repair the railroad and clear the mines on the road, and at the same time ordered the forward division to quickly catch up with the west and find the Suxian to destroy it.
At this moment, Huang Shuisheng and his men had broken into pieces and scattered into small detachments of about ten people, and they were sabotaging all the roads and railway lines near Suxian, and the sappers of Li Mi's regiment had not had time to clear the mines, and soon more mines appeared on the roads, and the rails that were airlifted by plane to lay the railways had not yet been paved, and they were immediately blown apart, and they could not even find the iron lumps.
Li Mi felt that he was caught in the guerrilla warfare here, he still had a good brain, and when he saw that it was impossible to restore the Jinpu Road communication line if he continued to stay in Suxian, he left the division to guard Suxian to prevent copying his back road, and he led the main force of the corps to quickly cross the Jinpu Road and march to Caozhuangji in the west, as you can see on the map, as long as Caozhuangji, a village on the edge of the Hun River, is captured, then Commander Huang and their 12th Corps, which are surrounded and desperately resisting in Shuangduiji.
As soon as Li Mi's corps moved, Zhou Wu, who was digging a pit in Caozhuangji to prepare for battle, and Zhou Wu, who was waiting for Commander Huang of the 12th Corps, learned about it, and he hurriedly ordered Huang Shuisheng to block Li Mi's corps coming westward, so as to buy a few days of time for the large army to dig fortifications and prepare for war, and at the same time he ordered Xiao Zheng's division to quickly drive eastward to meet Huang Shuisheng's division and jointly block the Li Mi corps that was rushing in momentum.
According to the seniority in the Whampoa Military Academy, Li Mi is the fourth period, is considered Zhou Wu's senior brother and senior, before the Songhu Anti-Japanese War, Li Mi's fame is not as big as Zhou Wu, at that time he was just a regiment commander, and later in the first battle in Songshan, Yunnan, the elite brigade of the little devil, Li Mi is famous, Lao Jiang is very important to him, and he is always entrusted with important tasks, and the thirteenth corps under his command is also the trump card, all American equipment, and it is also the US military advisory group personally guided the training, therefore, In his eyes, those who surrounded the 12th Corps were all dirt buns, and it was absolutely impossible for him to successfully complete the encirclement and annihilation of the 12th Corps under the attack of his own tanks and artillery planes. t1706231537:
