Zhang Xueliang nodded sadly and said to Yan Xishan: "Yes, our political situation is not yet stable, and the public sentiment outside is even less stable. We have not yet been able to use a large number of troops with confidence, and we cannot die with the Red Army. Fight. I agree with your method, which is to once again publicly call the Communists and bandits for peaceful negotiations, and ask them to send people to Nanjing immediately to negotiate the relationship and status of the two parties. We can give them more positions and more power. . We can even temporarily give them Sichuan Province, Guizhou Province, Hubei Province, Hunan Province, and Jiangxi Province. They can appoint their own people to serve as provincial chairpersons in these five provinces. Let them retain the establishment of five corps."
Feng Yuxiang's eyes bulged, and he said angrily: "Isn't this too indulgent of them? We will give them a few provinces when they arrive, so how can they come to negotiate? In their view, offensive A few provinces, or depending on whether we dare to use all our strength and go all out to attack a few more provinces, then don¡¯t we have to hand over other provinces to them? Five armies, how many troops do we have ourselves, and the number of their troops must be controlled to the maximum It is within one-tenth of the size of our army, and we cannot control more than two provinces. Huh, now we give Sichuan and Guizhou to them, then we have to pay for our hard work against Chiang! "
Yan Xishan looked at Feng Yuxiang and said helplessly: "Brother, it's not that we are willing to give it to them, it's because they are too powerful. Instead of being driven away by them, it is better to give more at once. In addition to calling them to come to negotiate , we should also pretend to fight them decisively. Aren't they going to attack our 57th Group Army in Xinyang now? Then we will warn them that as long as they fire another shot at our 57th Group Army, all our troops will attack If they attack, let's fight to the death with them!"
Zhang Xueliang said with a grimace: "Isn't this too much of a mobilization of troops? Our troops have not completely taken over the south. Even if we just make a show, we will have to spend a lot of time. Those troops who are taking over the south will have to start again. When you return, you have to regroup, otherwise, the Communists are not fools and will not be fooled."
Yan Xishan spread his hands and said: "If we don't act like this, the communists won't be afraid, and they won't believe that we really want to fight them to the death. We can't engage in fuel tactics like Chiang Kai-shek. Today The Gan army rushed to kill for a few days, the Gui army rushed to kill for a few days tomorrow, and the Hunan army rushed to kill in a few days. When these troops failed, they forced the Guizhou army and the Sichuan army to go up and fight. As a result, the troops also suffered huge losses. The results were very few. Even the Central Army was decimated by the Red Army. In my opinion, we either don¡¯t move, or we must go all out if we want to move. We must beat the Communists and bandits until they can¡¯t breathe. We must defeat the Communists in one fell swoop. The bandits were beaten to death, and we must not drive the Red Army to enjoy the mountains and rivers like Jiang did."
Feng Yuxiang also agreed and said: "Yes, brother, you have the right idea. This is the best way. I suggest that we just give it a try. No need to bluff, just fight! Just kill all the troops." Come up. Fight to the death with the communists and bandits. Whoever wins will take over the world, and whoever loses will have his head chopped off. Our Northwest Army is not a vegetarian, and the blades of the big blades are dripping. "
Yan Xishan was a little reluctant to hear what Feng Yuxiang said. He hesitated and said: "We will fight to the death with the communist bandits. Both sides will definitely suffer losses. What if Chiang Kai-shek comes back from Hong Kong and unites the Central Army, Guangxi Army, and Yunnan Army from all over the country, and he doesn't raid our home base." ? Then we will have to go back in despair. If this is the case, it is better not to come out. It is better to stay in the northwest. Our butts are not yet hot. If we are driven away, won¡¯t people laugh out loud? "
Zhang Xueliang denied worriedly: "In addition to Jiang Jieshi, there are also Japanese devils in the north. If we really want to turn the Central Plains into a pot of porridge, if we really want our army to be crippled, those bastards and dwarfs won't march straight in? We China will be swallowed up by them, and we will all be subjugated slaves."
Feng Yuxiang touched his bald head and said in embarrassment: "Yeah, this is another fucking trouble. The Japs have been entrenched in the Northeast for four or five years, and they have basically digested the Northeast. It has become their base of advancement. We Aren¡¯t they happy about the people who are beating people to death here? They see an opportunity and they don¡¯t follow the trend to kill us. In that case, our China will really be annexed by them. What should we do?¡±
Yan Xishan rolled his eyes a few times and said: "Then let the newspapers talk and tell the communists that if they continue to attack us and do not negotiate with us, then it will be a disgrace to relatives and enemies, and it will be a help to the Japanese." . Moreover, we still have to concentrate all our forces and force the communists and bandits to agree to our conditions as soon as possible. If Japan comes, we can still survive. But if the communists and bandits come, we will only die."
Feng Yuxiang said angrily: "The Japanese are here. How can we survive unless we surrender? You don't want to surrender to the Japanese, do you?"
Yan Xishan said: "Isn't this just talk? My opinions should be focused on everything."Team, fight to the death with the communist bandits, and wipe out the communist bandits before Jiang Jieshi recovers his strength. We will talk about other things later. "
Feng Yuxiang said in a sullen voice: "Anyway, I will not surrender to the Japanese dwarves. If you really want to surrender, don't bother me. I will lead my Northwest Army to fight against the Japanese bastards."
Zhang Xueliang also said: "I have surrendered to the Japanese a long time ago, why do I have to wait until now? Those bastards are not human beings at all, and I will not surrender to them."
Yan Xishan waved his hand and said: "Look, look, now we are discussing how to protect the 57th Group Army if we attack the communists, not what will happen in the future. Let's talk about what happens in the future. Where to go?" Just sing whatever song you want on the top of the mountain, don¡¯t worry about it now.¡±
¡¡
The headquarters of the Second Army of the Chinese Workers' and Peasants' Red Army.
Mr. Peng held the telegram sent by Guo Zhuocheng and said happily: "Guo Zhuocheng is really extraordinary. He captured the North Gate so quickly." As he said that, he handed the telegram to a general beside him. , said, "People have already closed a door for me, and now we have to rely on ourselves to open the door to the south. We have rested for so long and have eaten and drank enough. Shouldn't we use some skills?" It¡¯s not like our combat effectiveness is worse than before.¡±
Several generals surrounding the sand table said in unison: "Bring on the majesty of our Second Army and destroy the 57th Group Army!"
President Peng said with a cold face: "Don't give me this kind of vain thing. I don't want this kind of formality. I want you to realize our strategic intention resolutely, simply and thoroughly!"
"Yes!" Several generals still said in unison.
Seeing his men all in high spirits, Mr. Peng was very pleased. It can be said that this was the first major battle since the Second Army joined the army. Although many officers are now studying in the newly established military academy in Chongqing, most of them Some of the officers are still there, and the attitude is still solid. If we can't win a big victory even with such good weapons, we really can't afford to lose face.
Besides, President Lin's First Army is now doing well in Hunan. Yue Yang and Chang De were easily captured. If the Second Army fails to win this battle, President Peng will definitely lose face. . His eyes fell on Dongshuanghe Town, south of Xinyang City.
If Gan'an Town is the north gate of Xinyang City, then Dongshuanghe Town is the south gate of Xinyang City.
The fighting in Gan'an Town of the Third Army had just stopped, and the fighting in Dongshuanghe Town of the Second Army had already begun.
This time, the troops commanded by Commander-in-Chief Peng did not show much courtesy. They just used artillery to open the way and the infantry followed. To describe it in one word, that is: kill!
Because Dongshuanghe Town is the hinterland of the Northeast Army, that is, the rear of the Northeast Army, the Northeast Army did not build many fortifications here, nor did it make many preparations. It was only in the past two days that a group was sent to build fortifications in a hurry. In fact, the Northeastern Army did not pay attention to the defense of this town from top to bottom. In their view, if this town is attacked by communist bandits, then Xinyang will definitely not be protected. It can even be said that Xinyang is occupied by communist bandits. .
Anyone with a bit of military knowledge knows that the communists are not that stupid and will not go so deep. You must know that Dongshuanghe Town has a natural barrier - Nanwan Lake. This lake is large in area and will Dongshuanghe Town. Hezhen is firmly in his arms. If the communists really take a detour, they will be besieged from three sides. And with Nanwan Lake to the west, it is a dead end.
"However, Mr. Peng did not do this. His plan was to eat up all the 57th Army of the Northeastern Army, and Dongshuanghe Town was to cut the throat of the 57th Army. No matter how dangerous it was, he had to fight in.
The battle started at nine o'clock the next morning.
This is the time when the soldiers of the Northeast Army have finished breakfast and are preparing to do things. It is obviously not a good time for the attacker. According to ordinary people's thinking, the attack will be carried out either in the early morning, when the defenders are sleeping or are most sleepy. Or just when the other person is about to eat or is eating, you can catch the other person off guard to some extent. Now that the opponent has finished eating, it is the time to prepare. Attacking at this time is when the defenders are at their strongest.
What's more, not only the defenders in Dongshuanghe Town are at their most energetic, but also the defenders in Xinyang City and the Northeastern Army outside Dongshuanghe Town are most prepared. Once the battle starts at this time, the Northeastern Army will It can be pressed from the north, south, and east, and the west is a vast lake. It is very difficult for President Peng's Second Army to attack or defend after success. Besides, the defenders' shooting accuracy is the highest when it is dark, so the attacking side is completely a target for the defenders.
However, Mr. Peng, who likes to chew hard bones, launched the attack at this time.
There is not much common sense in the military. People who fight according to textbooks have no sense at all.He cannot become an outstanding general.
