The first thing the Kuomintang brothers who ran over said when they saw the PLA soldiers was: "What about the buns, what about the steamed buns, we are so hungry."
Looking at their gobbling up, the fat man shook his head and sighed: "It seems that the Kuomintang army on the other side is no longer good, they are all hungry like this, how can they still have the strength to hold a gun, why haven't they launched a general offensive until now, wouldn't it be right to rush forward at this time?"
Zhou Wu, who came to inspect the situation on the forward position, happened to be on the fat man's position at this time, he heard the fat man's words, and said to him: "Lao Liu, the time is not ripe yet, don't stare at the place in front of you, there is a comprehensive consideration above, you just need to carry out the order." ” "Commander, I'm just talking casually, I can't be serious, you look at the starving ghosts of the Kuomintang soldiers who ran over, an early general attack can be regarded as an early rescue of them, at least they won't starve to death, you said that most of the soldiers in the Kuomintang army are also the children of poor people, these Kuomintang soldiers in the forward position can run over, then those Kuomintang soldiers in Chenguanzhuang behind can't run, what can they do, watch them starve to death" The fat man was very sympathetic and said to Zhou Wu.
Zhou Wu didn't speak, why didn't he want to launch a general offensive immediately, and end this big battle that had been fought for two months as soon as possible, whether it was the Kuomintang soldiers on the opposite side, or the PLA brothers under his command, they had already suffered enough casualties, and it was no longer interesting to continue fighting, it was just to increase the casualties on both sides, but the Chief Du in Chenguanzhuang still had no intention of wanting a truce and peace talks, in their opinion, they still had the ability to fight again and break through.
A large number of soldiers on the forward position ran towards the opposite position, and the officers below hurriedly reported the news to Chief Du, who was shocked when he heard it, knowing that his troops were beginning to collapse, and the flight of a large number of soldiers in front of the formation showed that there was a serious lack of supplies, the soldiers were not well fed, not warmly dressed, the building was about to fall, and the wind and rain were shaking, Chief Du raised his head and sighed: "Du is incompetent, so that the soldiers are hungry and poor, and the order goes down, Prioritize the supply of airdropped supplies to the brothers on the forward positions, and the corps must immediately prevent this from happening again" But at this time, who will listen to this order of Chief Du, the materials airdropped by the transport plane in the sky were snatched away by those nearby teams before they landed, and the two regiments of the Sun Corps fought on the spot on the ground in order to snatch the materials dropped by the air, and the fighting was earth-shattering, and the guns were endless, in order to be able to grab a few bags of compressed biscuits, the rushing team actually used mountain artillery to shoot, and a large number of soldiers died under the guns of their own people.
The soldiers of the victorious team snatched compressed biscuits that were still stained with blood and ate and drank with water, this scene did not seem to happen on the land of Chenguanzhuang, it was like a miserable scene in the eighteenth layer of hell, these Kuomintang soldiers who had lost their minds with hunger no longer cared about other things, and being able to grab food and live was their only motive now The Kuomintang soldiers here were fighting for a few bags of compressed biscuits, and the shouts of the brothers who ran over came from the PLA position: "Brothers on the other side, we are the old kings of a certain division, a regiment, and a certain battalion, you don't have to work for Lao Jiang anymore, come to the People's Liberation Army, here are full of white-flour steamed buns and meat buns, and the PLA brothers treat us like brothers, the family has divided the land, and the parents and relatives have a guaranteed harvest this year, and there is no need to starve anymore, so hurry up." ” These voices continued to echo around the position through the loudspeakers on the position, and in the trenches of the Kuomintang army opposite, those soldiers listened quietly with their ears pricked up, but their hearts were overflowing: "I'm about to starve to death here, my mother is out of the way, and if I run over, I will be killed by the overseers behind, and we have to be a full ghost first."
Batches of soldiers shot and killed the commanders who blocked them from running to the position, and ran towards the PLA position in groups, Zhou Wu and their troops received thousands of brothers who ran over in just three days, and of course they were full of white-flour steamed buns and meat buns, and the New Year was approaching, Zhou Wu and Lao Xu came up with a trick: let Lao Niu send a team of political cadres to hurry to the hometown of these brothers who ran over, of course, it was nearby around Shandong, northern Jiangsu, northern Anhui, and northern Henan.
Pick up the parents and villagers of the brothers who have not yet run over on the opposite position, and say to them: "Fellow villagers, on the opposite position are your children, everyone is Chinese, we have surrounded them all, they are already difficult to fly, the villagers go and persuade their children, let them stop working for Lao Jiang, it is not worth it, they will be liberated soon, let them come back quickly." ” Those villagers have already been allocated land through the land reform movement at this time, these have no land for several lifetimes, often bullied by the landlords, they can't eat all day long, and the villagers who don't have enough clothes to cover their clothes now get the land they dream of, that mood is naturally very happy, as soon as they heard that the head of the People's Liberation Army asked them to persuade those sons on the opposite position, they immediately didn't say a word, under the escort of the fat man, they came to the forward position, and began to shout to the brothers on the opposite side through the loudspeaker, so The shouts mixed with various dialect accents sounded one after another on the Chenguanzhuang position, and the brothers who were hiding in the trenches and still hesitating suddenly heard their longing native voices, so they hurriedly pricked up their ears and listened carefully, listened, these brothers could no longer control their emotions, and hurriedly came out, crying towards the position of the People's Liberation Army opposite, shouting the names of their relatives: "Don't call, we are coming" Under the persuasion of these fellow villagers, more Kuomintang soldiers ran towards the PLA position, the fat man was responsible for the safety of those fellow villagers on the position, and at the same time beware of the sabotage of those Kuomintang diehards on the opposite side, I don't know if those diehards were afraid of Zhou Wu's previous announcement or sympathy for these brothers who ran over, after these soldiers who ran over to find relatives successfully ran into the fat man's position, there was no gunfire on the opposite position, and people's hearts were fleshy, Anyone who has parents and relatives, at this time, those commanders can only turn a blind eye and watch their soldiers run towards the PLA position, not to deal with the Japanese devils, but also their own compatriots, since they can let their subordinates eat enough, and they have to spare and spare others, why bother their brothers A large number of teams rushed to the opposite position in groups, after Chief Du learned the news, he was also powerless, when several young Zhuang officers asked Chief Du to order the Judge Advocate General's Office and the Supervision Team to strictly prevent this kind of escape, and when those deserters were all shot, Chief Du shouted: "No, let them go, there are enough dead people, you should also rest, don't kill people" The officers of the Young Zhuang faction were afraid of the prestige of Chief Du and did not dare to make a mistake without permission, but they were very annoyed by this attitude of Chief Du, thinking that Chief Du was about to surrender, so they got together to conspire and discuss, reported to Nanjing the abnormal situation of Chief Du, and asked Nanjing to send personnel to investigate.
Director Mao of the Secret Bureau, who received the secret report from these guys, saw that the matter involved Chief Du, the supreme commander of the Xu Beng battlefield, and he didn't dare to call the shots, so he hurriedly reported to Lao Jiang, and when Lao Jiang heard it, he scolded Director Mao and said: "Chief Du is my most trusted student, and you know this situation, how can you investigate him for the secret reports of the following junior officers, now they are in the most difficult moment in Chenguanzhuang, we should give them encouragement, instead of groundless suspicion and investigation, and immediately send a telegram to reprimand those officers who reported secretly, and sent a telegram of condolences to Commander Du, explaining that I believe in him very much, and hope that he will hold out until the arrival of reinforcements, and lead the team to break out of the encirclement and withdraw to the south of the Yangtze River, and when the time comes, I will personally go to Pukou to welcome them back."
Director Mao was so frightened that he trembled, if he was really a companion like a tiger, what happened to the chairman of the committee who has always been very suspicious of him today It seems that Chief Du does have a very unusual weight in the heart of the chairman, and those young and strong officers are simply troublesome, so that I almost want to be scolded by the chairman of the committee.
Director Mao hurriedly sent a telegram to severely reprimand the officers of the Shaozhuang faction who were informants, asking them to meddle in their affairs, and in the future, the Nanjing side ignored Chief Du's discussions.
Those young Zhuang officers were bored at first glance, and they were scolded by Nanjing, and they scolded stupidly at that time: "The party-state is not saved, what do you like, it's better to think about the way back as soon as possible, whether he is finished or not, it's our business."
Chief Du received a telegram of condolences and encouragement from the chairman's official residence, and the chairman of the committee spoke earnestly in the telegram, and saw that Chief Du was grateful, and tears almost fell, feeling that the chairman of the committee still believed in himself very much at such a time, and did not listen to the villain's slander, and he followed the chairman of the committee right, so these crimes suffered by himself were nothing, and it was better to take care of his body and bones, and when the time came, he immediately broke through to the south and took out the troops of the three corps here in Chen Guanzhuang On Chinese New Year's Eve, on Zhou Wu's position, the cultural and artistic regiment in the rear came to comfort the soldiers coming, blowing, playing and singing, singing and laughing, and the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner was also placed on the position this time, the PLA soldiers sat down with those Kuomintang brothers who had just run over, eating fragrant dumplings and meals, watching the wonderful performance of the male and female soldiers of the cultural and artistic troupe, and the laughter from time to time spread to the opposite position, making those Kuomintang soldiers itch in their hearts, and they all crawled out of the trenches and pricked up their ears, Listen carefully to the wonderful program on the opposite position. t1706231537:
