    All of Mr. Peng's actions were unconventional. When combined together, the Northeast Army was caught off guard, and it was more exciting than common sense.

    As three red signal bombs rose into the sky, the earth suddenly trembled, and then a sound several times louder than thunder came from the sky. Countless artillery shells fell on this small town like hail, falling on the Northeast Army.  The defenders' positions fell on those weak fortifications and shallow trenches

    The air waves caused by the explosion of the artillery shells threw up the defenders one by one and destroyed the fortifications one by one. Those temporarily dug trenches were wiped out immediately. They were even less conspicuous than the craters. Those craters more than one meter deep were actually  It seemed safer than the trenches dug by the defenders, and made the defenders more at ease.

    However, these reassurances could not save their lives. Before they could roll into the crater, the successive shells that hit them turned their trembling bodies into pieces.

    "The artillery fire of the communists and bandits is too fierce! It's too fierce!" This was the wailing cry of the commander of the garrison before his death. "It's not that I am incompetent. I have never seen such a violent bombing"

    The artillery bombardment lasted only fifteen minutes, but in the eyes of the defenders it was definitely as long as a century. Many people were not killed by the shells, but they were stunned by the huge sound of the shells and the powerful air waves. Many soldiers  He was even shocked to death, with no visible wounds except for bleeding from his mouth, nostrils, ears and eyes.

    Fifteen minutes later, there was no more heavy artillery bombardment, but more mortars and infantry artillery joined in the roar. These shells plowed the defenders who were still fighting back sporadicly like old farmers plowing their fields.

    Another ten minutes passed, and the Red Army finally rushed out amidst the cries of the defenders.  but.  They did not rush out across the mountains and plains as the defenders imagined.  Instead, they rushed out of the mountains, woods, and ditches in twos and threes. They did not use the Charge to guide them to attack in a swarm as in the legend. Instead, they fought independently, making full use of the terrain and taking their time.  As they advanced, they were covered by mortars, infantry artillery, and heavy machine guns behind them, and they looked like they were not in a hurry at all.

    The attackers are not in a hurry, but the defenders are impatient. What they can't wait for is not how to block the Red Army and destroy it.  But they are eager to surrender. They are worried about surrendering now. If they surrender in the smoke, the other party will not be able to see it: if you stand in the smoke with your hands raised, who knows whether you have a gun or not, who knows whether you are shooting at them?

    Of course, this is only the idea of ??a few defenders. Most of the defenders whose morale collapsed still came up with a way, that is, to lift any white thing, whether it is a shirt or underwear, whether it is a board or a bed sheet.  As long as it is white and can be lifted up and shaken, it will be fine. At the same time, they shouted in unison: "We surrender! We surrender!"

    Less than an hour.  Dongshuanghe Town changed hands, and even the prisoners were incorporated into the Red Army without being taken away. They began to use the bomb craters to build trenches with the Red Army, waiting for the Northeastern Army who came to "rescue" them.

    Indeed, less than five minutes after the battle started, the Northeastern Army to the east and south of Dongshuanghe Town began to mobilize troops to support, and Commander Miao Zhengliu, commander of the 57th Group Army based in Xinyang City, also sent a  In fact, in his opinion, there is no need for a division to reinforce the small Dongshuanghe Town. The communist bandits' current attack on Dongshuanghe Town is purely to attack the east and attack the west, purely to mobilize the defenders in Xinyang City.

    "It's just that General Miao Zhengliu doesn't care whether there is one more division or one less division in Xinyang City. Since the communist bandits want to play, he should play with them and send a division to destroy these communist bandits who are pretending to attack.  He even wanted to use Dongshuanghe Town, a place of four battles, to consume the effective strength of the communist bandits. He deliberately abandoned Dongshuanghe Town to attract the communist bandits to stick here, and then the Northeast Army eliminated them again and again until the other side  When you can't bear this kind of loss, retreat obediently.

    However, his idea was not approved by his officers, and was also rejected by his superior Zhang Xueliang. In their opinion, the communist bandits were not what they used to be, and it was definitely not what Commander Miao Zhengliu had in mind.  The so-called army can easily defeat the Central Army and the Hunan Army. It can be seen that their combat effectiveness is very strong.  If they occupy Dongshuanghe Town and the Northeast Army cannot take it back smoothly, they will definitely be stealing the chicken but not losing the rice. They will hand over their own neck to the other party to chop it.

    Although Army Commander Miao Zhengliu was very depressed that his colleagues and superiors around him were frightened by the Communist bandits, he was very depressed that his brilliant plan was put on the shelf: if the Communist bandits were really this powerful, and if the Communist bandits were surrounded on three sides,  No, it should be said that it is surrounded on all sides. If it does not collapse under the attack of the Northeast Army, which has an absolute majority, then what else can the Northeast Army fight?  It would be better to surrender directly, or to be dismissed directly, and everyone can go home to hold their wives and take care of their children.

    Everyone knows that when two armies are at war, there is always a ratio of combat effectiveness between the two sides.The ratio of the weaker side may be larger, such as 2:1, 3:1, 5:1, etc. It is impossible for one side to have infinitely strong combat power, while the other side has infinitely weak combat power. The real ratio would become 10:1 or even 10:1.  20:1, then there is no need to fight at all. One of the opponent's soldiers is worth ten of our own soldiers, so why fight?

    Now the Northeastern Army's 57th Group Army has a ratio of 2.5:1 to Peng Dehuai's Second Army. This is still the total number of people. If placed in a small place like Dongshuanghe Town, Peng Dehuai can send as many troops as the Northeast Army.  The troops that the army could send were simply incomparable, because Peng Dehuai could only send troops to attack from the west along the rugged mountain road, while the Northeast Army could send large armies to attack from the east, south, and north.

    The greater advantage is that the Northeastern Army can not only be dispatched from the 57th Group Army, not only from Xinyang City, they can also be dispatched from Fuyang, Xiaogan, Hefei and other places. The sources of its troops are very wide, and numerous armies can completely  Here in Dongshuanghe Town, we have a strength advantage of five, ten or even twenty times over the Red Army!

    However, when the people below reported in panic that Dongshuanghe Town had changed hands and that the town had been taken away by the communist bandits in less than an hour, Army Commander Miao Zhengliu finally broke out in sweat on his forehead:

    With such a fierce offensive, the communists and bandits are not attacking in the east and attacking in the west at all. They are completely closing the door and trying to annihilate the 57th Group Army. This is a decisive blow!

    Now Gan'an Town in the north is occupied by the Communist bandits, Dongshuanghe Town in the south has been lost, and Xinyang City suddenly became an isolated city.  Not only was he breaking out in a cold sweat, but the other officers were also panicked. Although no one asked "what to do", the expressions on their faces showed it.

    Miao Zhengliu had to cheer up his men. After a short period of panic, he said with a smile: "Brothers, don't be nervous. We have more than 60,000 people in the 57th Army. They are not so good at annihilating us."  Yakou. Now that our Northeastern Army has set out from Zhumadian, it will definitely regain Gan'an Town in the north and open up our passage to the north. And we don't need to worry about the south. Most of our 300,000 Northeastern Lions are concentrated there.  How could Nanjing and hundreds of thousands of Northwest and Jin troops watch us trapped in the enemy's lines?

    You should still remember the strategy I proposed a few days ago, which is to use Dongshuanghe Town as a meat grinder. Using the terrain there and our military strength, we can crush the communist bandits into powder again and again.  .  Although General Zhang did not agree with my plan, now the communists have helped me realize it. Isn't this great?  That's not surprising, is it?  And you generals should be able to imagine that as long as the enemy and we are fighting fiercely in Dongshuanghe Town, the Second Army facing Peng Dehuai will not only be our 57th Group Army, but will attract more brother troops to join. This is not good.  Already?  Isn't it inevitable that only our 57th Army will be consumed?

    So, don¡¯t be afraid, don¡¯t worry, the communist bandits taking over Dongshuanghe Town is a bad thing, and it¡¯s also a good thing.  Perhaps this will also become a decisive battle between us and the Communist bandits, a decisive battle that determines the future and destiny of the country. Brothers should be proud of this.  If we win, then we can sit peacefully in the world, and the shame of our escape from the Northeast will be greatly reduced.  Of course, if we fail, the communists will dominate the world.  Even a rough guy like me knows the importance of this battle. President Yan Xishan must also know it, and General Zhang must also know it. They will definitely not sit idly by and do nothing.

    ¡°Besides, let¡¯s be honest, even if we really fail, we have 60,000 troops, can¡¯t we cover the retreat of a few of us?  Can't you let us leave?  Even if we swim, we can swim across the Huaihe River and swim across the Shanhe River, right?  "

    It has to be said that the military commander Miao Zhengliu is very good at comforting people. After what he said, the panicked generals slowly calmed down and began to think about how to mobilize the army to regain Dongshuanghe Town.

    Obviously, in their eyes, the division sent before was not enough to regain the town that was taken away by the communist bandits.

    The division that was originally going to support the defenders was ordered by the commander Miao Zhengliu to stop advancing and wait for the arrival of the troops behind them to attack together. It also waited for the troops coming from Xiaogan, Fuyang and other places. By then, the army would attack from all directions.  It will be even more certain.  Any general who has some ability knows that he should not engage in refueling tactics when deciding to fight. In that case, it will be his own side that suffers the most losses.

    Commander Miao of the 57th Group Army did not expect at all: his army has not attacked Dongshuanghe Town now, and there will be no chance to attack in the future.

    When General Peng's troops occupied Dongshuanghe Town and cut off the 57th Group Army's way of escaping south, Guo Zhuocheng's Third Army cooperated with General Peng's Second Army to launch an attack on the Xinyang defenders - the 57th Group Army of the Northeast Army -  - general attack.
