    Having said this, Yang Zhen clicked on the map to the south of Bangshan and said: "I think under the current situation, instead of paying a heavy price to capture Bangshan again, it is better to order Zhong Desheng to gather his troops immediately and use Bangshan to  The terrain on the front line to Taizi Mountain is constantly fighting.¡±

    "Although Bangshan is the commanding heights in this area, there are mountains all the way from Bangshan to Xingtan, and there are several tributaries of the Huihe River forming natural blocking positions. It is not without danger. The army commander previously chose Bangshan as the eastern part of the Huihe River.  The main cover position on the shore is just that it is high in mountains and densely forested, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it is the commanding heights of the surrounding area. "

    "Pangshan is easy to defend and difficult to attack. We will have to pay a heavy price to defend them. But now that Bangshan has changed hands, we will also have to pay a heavy price to attack. They have tens of thousands of troops and superior firepower, and they have suffered thousands of casualties.  , Of course we don¡¯t care, but if we can¡¯t, a few hundred casualties will break our muscles and bones, and it¡¯s extremely uneconomical for us to pay such a high price.¡±

    "They are certainly condescending to attack from Bangshan Mountain, but this is not a flat plain. Although Bangshan Mountain is lost, the commanding heights south of Bangshan Mountain are still in our hands, so Bangshan Mountain does not have to be in our hands.  , under the current situation, I suggest giving up the counterattack on Bangshan. According to the terrain here, I want to send a capable person to gather and command the existing troops of the Third Regiment to make full use of the terrain here. It is basically not too big to hold back for six to eight hours.  question."

    "As long as the Third Regiment can buy us six to eight hours, I think these few hours should be able to change a lot of things. Commander, I suggest Comrade Xie Zhongliang command the main force of the teaching corps, the special agent battalion directly under the military, and the engineer battalion.  Instead of going north to reinforce the Third Regiment, we attack from the flank of the First Regiment, bypassing the Xingtan line and heading straight into Sanxi Town."

    "Zhao Lingbo disappeared in front of the formation with his combat plan and troop equipment organization. There is only one possibility that he rebelled and surrendered to the enemy. If his whereabouts are really as we guessed, then we will attack Xingtan with a vertical and frontal force.  All will be exposed.

    "And this result means that we can make a time lag and use the limited time before the 52nd Division receives the information and reacts to capture the line from Xingtan to Sanxi as quickly as possible. Otherwise, once the north is  The 52nd Division and the 79th Division from the south are pressing forward. Given the current disparity in strength and equipment, we are in danger of being blocked west of the Hui River. "

    Yang Zhen took a look and learned that before departure, in order to strengthen the command strength of the first column, Zhao Lingbo, who had been transferred to the first column as deputy commander at his own initiative, disappeared on the battlefield with all the battle plans of the first column. The military commander who had been looking ashen said: "  Commander, this is just my opinion. As for how to fight, it still depends on your determination. "

    "But at Bangshan, I suggest that since we have lost it, we should not counterattack. Although Bangshan is strategically important and controls the commanding heights on the east bank of the Huihe River, it is not irreplaceable for us. As long as we hold on to Bangshan,  Mountains can also cover the military headquarters to quickly cross the Huihe River. Rather than paying unnecessary costs and forcibly counterattacking Bangshan, it is better to concentrate our troops and stick to the front line of Jushan. After all, our military disadvantage is too obvious. "

    Regarding Yang Zhen's suggestion, the army commander hesitated for a moment, and after looking at the map carefully again, he finally nodded: "Okay, the political commissar will follow your advice and order the Laoshan Regiment to concentrate its forces, using the Langqiao River as the base.  The natural blocking position is to stick to the line of Jushan and cover the main force of the first column moving southward. Before the military headquarters and follow-up troops have all crossed the Huihe River, even if there is only one soldier left, they are not allowed to retreat even half a step. "

    "Order the New Regiment to break through the Zhuyuan line as quickly as possible and penetrate directly to the side of Xingtan. Order the Old Regiment and the Fifth Regiment to speed up the attack. Tell Fu Qiutao and Jiang Weiqing who are commanding from the front that I don't want their casualty figures.  I only need to see that the military headquarters will be stationed on the front line of Xingtan before midnight."

    After the military commander neatly issued several orders, Yang Zhen took over the topic and said to the deputy chief of staff on the side: "Inform all units in the army that if they encounter Zhao Lingbo, they will arrest him immediately. If he resists, he can be killed on the spot and he will be seen alive.  Even if I die, I will see the body."

    Yang Zhen's words made the deputy chief of staff stunned for a moment, and he said hesitantly: "Political Commissar, can you be more cautious? Zhao Lingbo is just missing on the battlefield now, and there is no evidence that he has defected. If he was just separated from the Third Regiment,  If we deal with this, we will wrong a good comrade, and we should be more cautious when dealing with cadres of his level."

    As for the deputy chief of staff, Yang Zhen frowned slightly and said displeasedly: "Old Zhou, you served as a division commander during the Red Army, and during the Long March, you were the chief of operations of the Military Commission. You should understand that a cadre leads the troops.  There is no battle plan or weapons organization list, and there is not even a guard. Missing on the battlefield always means nothing. "

      "After the first column captured Bangshan, before the main force of the 52nd Division arrived, it did not encounter any tough battles. With a small force alone, it was able to break up an old unit of ours and put a commander on the battlefield.  The deputy commander of the column and his troops, who had considerable security forces, dispersed."

    "It's because our troops' combat effectiveness is too poor. An old regiment-level unit with three complete battalions cannot even defeat a small unit of a division of the Central Army. It's also because our cadres' battlefield adaptability is too poor. When the enemy attacks,  "

    "If this happens to a novice who has just entered the battlefield, it may not be an accident, but for a Long March cadre who served as regiment political commissar and division political commissar during the Red Army period and has experienced countless fierce battles, it will not be an accident.  It can't be an accident."

    "What's more, before he disappeared, he didn't even take a single guard with him. He also obtained the entire Lao San Regiment's establishment, weapons and equipment list, and combat plan from the leader of the Lao San Regiment. In addition to defecting, what else could he do?  The reason can¡¯t be confirmed until he pulls the entire army away.¡±

    Yang Zhen's words were so decisive that the deputy chief of staff was speechless at the time. As a veteran of the Red Army, he knew and understood what Yang Zhen said. His previous hesitation was just a matter of caution. After all, as the original chief of staff, he  The current deputy commander of the column, which is equivalent to the brigade level, should be handled with caution as long as he does not grasp the real evidence.

    After all, now is not the time to crack down on counter-revolutionaries and arrest and kill indiscriminately in various base areas. When dealing with a senior military cadre, especially a cadre sent by the central government to work in the New Fourth Army, it is better to be more cautious, especially when the captain of the fourth detachment was executed that year.  After receiving severe criticism.

    But Yang Zhen's attitude has told him that there is no room for change in this matter. As the current top commander of the Southern Anhui Army, since he has made the decision, no one else dares to say anything. Who can guarantee that the guy is not defecting?  No one dares to pat their chest to guarantee it.

    This was the first time Yang Zhen used his final decision-making power after arriving in Wannan, but he did not expect that it would be used on his own people. It was impossible to say that he did not have any ideas in his heart. He had also seen this chief of staff in Wannan.  Yes, a very smart and capable person.

    Although he has never entered a regular military academy, when he went north with the 25th Red Army, he fought fiercely from the Hubei, Henan, and Anhui base areas. He fought fiercely and had excellent military quality. This is why Yang Zhen agreed to set off before setting off.  The reason why the army commander sent his subordinate to the first column as deputy commander.

    Although Yang Zhen knew in later generations that this person was captured and rebelled after the Wannan Incident, he somewhat believed that it happened after he was captured. The situation in southern Anhui today does not follow the historical trend that he is familiar with. If this person had not been captured,  It should not be as rebellious as the history that future generations know.

    But he never thought that he could change the general trend of history, but still could not change the fate of some people. At this point in history, an amazing coincidence occurred. It was Zhao Lingbo's rebellion that reminded him that he had vetoed the military commander's nomination of Zhao Xizhong.  Another senior commander of the three famous traitors in the Wannan Incident who rebelled after being captured took over his command of the third regiment's blocking campaign.

    Falling down once is not scary, but falling down continuously in one place is scary. This guy's rebellion at a critical moment opened up the left defense line, which is crucial to the entire battle. As long as the 52nd Division is willing, they can always outflank and leap behind, making  One column was caught in a pincer attack from both front and rear.

    Although the Third Regiment lost a very key position on the entire front, in the following battle, the Third Regiment, which is still located on the left wing of the entire battlefield, is still in a very critical position. If there is any problem with the Third Regiment,  The entire left wing will be completely opened, and the good situation that was barely opened after a bloody battle will be completely passive.

    And once the 52nd Division and the 40th Division are brought closer, the entire battle situation will take a turn for the worse. Not only will the front and rear flanks be in danger of being eaten, but the Southern Anhui Army will also be completely surrounded. Although there is no doubt about this,  statement, but Yang Zhen, who has always had a comprehensive grasp of the battlefield situation, is still very clear.

    Faced with the choice of either breaking out of the encirclement and successfully completing the northern crossing, or being completely destroyed, he did not dare to take this risk, not even the slightest risk. In Yang Zhen's view at this time, he was still in the middle of the entire battlefield.  The third regiment at the critical point must be commanded by a capable cadre, and there must be no more accidents.

    The whole army combined has only nine thousand divisions, and the combat troops have been supplemented by non-combatants from temporary organizations, and the southern Anhui army can barely reach 7,000. At this time, it is facing an encirclement of seven divisions and more than 80,000 opponents. For  For any commander, the only outcome waiting for him if he is not careful is the complete destruction of his army.

      As a commander-in-chief, the main responsibility is not to be a general, but to be a general. At this juncture, in addition to selecting those cadres with strong character to take on the important tasks, any mutinous behavior that may lead to the disintegration of the army must not be tolerated.  Being kind-hearted and soft-handed, killing one person as a warning to others is the only and inevitable choice.

    This person does not have to be killed now, but when the army is facing difficulties, the occurrence of such a thing means that it is likely to cause a chain reaction. A cadre, especially a senior cadre, rebels on the battlefield, even for the New Fourth Army.  For such a well-organized army, it is also a matter that greatly affects morale. This trend must be stopped, otherwise there may be a second or third Zhao Lingbo in the future.
