The Battle of Xu Beng became increasingly tense.
Huang Botao committed suicide.
The 120,000 troops of the Seventh Corps were destroyed.
Huang Wei's 90,000 troops were besieged in Suxian, Anhui.
It was only a matter of time before they were annihilated.
Du Yuming and Qiu Qingquan were besieged by the People's Liberation Army.
The mechanized troops It was difficult to move even an inch, the weather was freezing and the ground was freezing, and they were running out of ammunition and food.
At the same time, the Northeast Field Army of the People's Liberation Army moved south to enter the Pass and approached Pingjin.
Fu Zuoyi, the commander-in-chief of the North China Suppression Forces, contracted the front and trapped several large cities.
North China was in danger.
Under such a crisis, how could Chen Bei, the ace pilot of the national army, continue to take leave?
He was urgently recalled to the army, flew to support the Xubeng battlefield, and covered the airdrop of grain by transport aircraft.
Chen Bei was sitting in the cockpit of the 51 Mustang fighter jet, looking down at the vast land beneath his feet.
The vast expanse of snow was mixed with the earthy yellow of the ground and the black of the dead trees, as well as ant-like soldiers and countless trenches.
This kind of large-scale battle scene Far exceeding any battle during the Anti-Japanese War, it was shocking but also filled with deep despair.
The C47 transport plane began to airdrop flour, and the parachutes fell with the wind.
Many of them floated to the Communist positions, triggering a gun battle.
Since the People's Liberation Army captured many American weapons, its air defense capabilities were greatly strengthened.
The escort fighters did not dare to fly low, and they hurriedly completed the airdrop mission.
Returned to base.
After arriving at the base, Chen Bei and a group of flying officers went to the club to drink and complain.
Before they had rested for ten minutes, the order came again and they flew to Xuhai battlefield for airdrop again.
Chen Bei asked casually: "What supplies will be dropped this time?"
The other person replied: "Firewood."
Chen Beiqi said: "What are you doing throwing firewood?"
Answer again: "The flour dropped by the air earlier cannot be used to burn the pot without firewood, so we have to drop more firewood."
Chen Bei didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "What on earth are the staff officers at the headquarters thinking?
How could it be any stupider to drop firewood from an airplane?
You can't just drop baked pancakes or compressed biscuits by air."
The other party shrugged: "We just carry out the order."
So the pilots went on duty again and flew to the battlefield to drop a batch of firewood.
After flying back, the pilots' morale was low and they were silent.
Suddenly, the Air Force Commander-in-Chief, General Zhou Zhirou, arrived and personally promoted several officers to military ranks.
Chen Bei was also among them, and was promoted to Air Force Major.
Wearing a plum blossom military rank, Chen Bei couldn't be happy at all.
Xubeng battlefield, Chenguanzhuang, white snow is falling, and mourners are everywhere.
Discarded Dodge ten-wheel trucks and 105 howitzers can be seen everywhere.
The national army has no gasoline and no artillery shells.
These equipments have become decorations.
Outside the field hospital, there are piles of dead people, frozen He had to stand firm, and several wounded soldiers slowly peeled off the military coats from the dead man.
It was too cold, so they could only wear one more piece.
There was a roaring fire in the wooden headquarters.
A group of officers were gloomy and gloomy.
They had their necks hunched and their hands folded.
They were lifeless.

There were empty cans and wine bottles on the table in front of them.
Everything they could eat had been eaten, and everything they could wear was wrapped It's on me, but I'm still hungry and cold.
Lieutenant General Chen Qilin, director of the Jiangdong Pacification Office, led a dissatisfied division under his command to support the battle of Xu Beng.
However, he was trapped in a tight siege and could not protect himself.
The officers asked Director Chen to come forward and ask Du Yuming, the deputy commander-in-chief of Xuzhou Suppression, to find out whether it was a war or not. drop.
Chen Qilin had no choice but to drag his heavy steps to the headquarters to find Du Yuming.
He couldn't bear to look at the tragic scenes along the way.
Soldiers gathered in small groups beside gasoline barrels to roast themselves.
There was a burst of gunfire in the distance.
Soldiers were slaughtering war horses and people.
There is no need to eat them.
The war horses have long been out of fodder.
It is better to kill them for meat.
An officer whispered: "I heard the Communist Army loudspeaker broadcast, you can go there to eat meat buns, come and go freely."
Another officer said: "The Communist army's artillery fire is too fierce.
It is more powerful than the American 155 Long Tom.
I heard it is called a heartless artillery.
One shot will kill anyone lying on the ground."
Chen Qilin turned around with a straight face and said, "Don't talk nonsense."
When he came to the headquarters, Du Yuming was also at a loss.
He didn't say anything for a long time, and finally said: "Success will lead to success.
You can do whatever you want."
Qiu Qingquan shouted: "The worst case scenario is death.
What's so scary?
Fight to the end with the Communists."
Seeing that they could not come up with a concrete plan, Chen Qilin went to Li Mi, the commander of the Thirteenth Corps.
Li Mi said quietly: "We are surrounded by many people, so there is no chance of winning.
Neither Fu Zuoyi in North China nor Bai Chongxi in Central China will come to rescue us.
Only by breaking into pieces and retreating can there be a chance of survival.”
"Old Li, call me when you leave."
Chen Qilin said.
In Jiangdong, at the official residence on Fenglin Road, a travel-worn guest came to visit Chen Zikun.
He came with a pass from the Jiangbei Appeasement District, so the journey was smooth.
Chen Zikun heard that a guest from the "north" was coming and met him in person.
The visitor was dressed in a gray gown, a woolen top hat and a businessman's attire, but his military temperament could not be concealed.
He was clearly Ye Xuefeng, political commissar of the People's Liberation Army Nakano Jiang.
After many years, Ye Xuefeng is no longer the lively young man he once was, but a steady and wise political cadre.
He smiled and extended his hand to Chen Zikun: "General Chen, we meet again."
Chen Zikun invited him to sit down, served tea and exchanged greetings.
Ye Xuefeng said: "I am here this time under the orders of Comrade Deng Xiaoping, First Secretary of the Central Plains Bureau of the Central Plains Bureau of the CPC Central Committee and Political Commissar of the Central Plains Field Army, to contact General Chen to discuss the peaceful liberation of Jiangdong.
This is a personal letter from Political Commissar Deng.
Please take a look."
Chen Zikun read the letter at a glance and said with emotion: "In the early 1920s, on my way back from studying military affairs at West Point in the United States, I met Mr.
Zhou Enlai and Mr.
Deng Xiaoping in Paris.

We ate croissants, drank coffee, and talked about world affairs.
It seems like it happened yesterday, is Xiaoping in good health?"
Ye Xuefeng was stunned for a moment, then realized.
No wonder Political Commissar Deng personally wrote to Chen Zikun.
He calmly replied: "Commissar Deng is in good health.
He insists on taking cold showers and exercising every day."
Chen Zikun said: "That's good, I want to meet him if I have the chance."
As soon as Ye Xuefeng heard this, he knew something was wrong.
He stood up and said, "General Chen, on behalf of the elders of Jiangbei, I would like to thank you for your choice."
Chen Zikun said: "My power is limited now, so I have to be careful when doing things.
You go back first, and we will establish channels to contact you at any time."
Ye Xuefeng shook hands with Chen Zikun again, and then left through the back door.
As soon as he went out, he was spotted by a spy who was reading a newspaper under a telephone pole across the street.
He dropped the newspaper and followed him.
Ye Xuefeng also worked underground, how could he be targeted by a spy?
Live, circle around a few times and get rid of the agent.
The agent reported to Shen Kai, the head of the Jiangdong Station of the Secrecy Bureau.
Shen Kai said: "Send more manpower and keep a close eye on me, and then follow Diu Military Law."
The wheel of time rolled into 1949.
On January 10, news came from the Xubeng battlefield that Qiu and Li's regiment was completely wiped out, Du Yuming was captured, Qiu Qingquan committed suicide, Li Mi disappeared, and the remaining 70,000 troops were completely destroyed.
Previously, 90,000 people in Huang Wei's regiment were also annihilated, Huang Wei was captured, and the Battle of Xu Beng ended.
The national army ended in failure, with more than 400,000 troops lost.
The losses in the Northeastern battlefield and the Huaihai battlefield were all Chiang Kai-shek's direct descendants, the elite of the national army.
The one million troops were wiped out in just a few months, and Chiang Kai-shek had exhausted all his cards.
The situation of Fu Zuoyi's troops in North China is also very bad.
He lost 50,000 people in the battle at Zhangjiakou and defended Tianjin.
His 130,000 troops were wiped out.
Although Fu Zuoyi still had 250,000 people left, he no longer had the ability to fight.
At this point, the overall victory of the CCP was a foregone conclusion.
People in Nanjing and Shanghai were panicking.
Executive President Sun Ke led the government to move south to Guangzhou.
Families of the US military delegation in China also began to evacuate.
High-ranking officials and wealthy people fled to Hong Kong, Taiwan and the United States.
Nanjing Xiaguan Pier On the street, it was busy with evacuating ships.
Thousands of boxes of cultural relics from the Palace Museum were loaded onto ships and shipped to Taiwan.
Chiang Kai-shek proposed peace negotiations, but at this time the initiative to fight or not to fight was no longer in his hands.
The CCP issued a statement that it is willing to engage in peace negotiations, but its requirements are very harsh.
It requires punishing war criminals, abolishing the old constitution, reorganizing the old army, confiscating bureaucratic capital, reforming the land system, abolishing traitorous treaties, convening a political consultative conference without the participation of reactionary elements, and establishing a coalition. government, taking over all levels of government power from the Kuomintang.
At the top of the list of war criminals was Chiang Kai-shek, and almost all other senior military and political officials of the Nationalist Government were on the list.
Naturally, Chiang Kai-shek would not agree to such conditions.
He authorized the Minister of Foreign Affairs to take a note to the ambassadors of the United States, Russia, Britain and France in China to mediate peace talks, but the four countries refused to mediate.
Chiang Kai-shek announced his resignation and handed over power to Vice President Li Zongren.
The Gui clique finally took control of the power, and Li Zongren became the acting president.
He couldn't help but think of Hu Banxian's words in Peking, and he was full of emotions and full of ambition.
Liu Zhi, the former commander-in-chief of the Xuzhou Suppression Campaign, led his remnant troops to retreat to Jiangdong in an attempt to regroup.

He was a veteran in the party.
Although he was a guest, his strength should not be underestimated.
Chen Zikun hosted a small banquet every three days and a large banquet every five days.
Shock him.
The official residence on Fenglin Road welcomed another mysterious guest.
He was in a suit and leather shoes and had an elegant demeanor.
He was also an old acquaintance of Chen Zikun, Zheng Zeru, who had dealt with him as early as the Shanghai Jingwu Association.
Zheng Zeru said: "My identity does not need to be introduced.
I was entrusted by Comrade Rao Shushi, the first secretary of the East China Bureau of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, and General Chen Yi, the commander of the East China Field Army, to persuade General Chen to turn to the light."
Chen Zikun did not show any shock or anger.
He received Zheng Zeru calmly and did not discuss anything in detail.
He just agreed with him on the contact information and channel.
Zheng Zeru left the official residence, got into a car with a government license plate and sped away.
The Secret Service agent wrote down the license plate number and took out a small book to check.
It turned out to be the car of the Party Communications Bureau.
In the car, Xu Tingge asked Zheng Zeru: "Is it going well?"
Zheng Zeru said: "It went smoothly than expected.
The Kuomintang fell apart.
Who is not in a hurry to find a way out?
Besides, Chen Zikun is just a loser.
He will fall to whoever is strong."
Xu Tingge said: "Although our army has a great victory on the battlefield, it is still very dangerous behind the enemy lines.
The spies are wreaking havoc.
You have to be careful."
Zheng Zeru said: "With you, a special agent of the Central Unification Committee, escorting me, what do I have to fear?"
The two laughed loudly, and the hearty laughter echoed inside and outside the car.
Another day later, a passenger plane from the north landed at the provincial capital airport.
There was only one passenger on board, Chen Zikun's brother-in-law Yan Qingyu.
Yan Qingyu, who had disappeared for a long time, seemed to be a different person.
The way he behaved was very different from before.
He was less frivolous and more mature.
He came to the official residence on Fenglin Road to meet Chen Zikun and presented him with A letter.
"This is a personal letter that Mr.
Zhou Enlai commissioned me to bring to you, brother-in-law
