To be honest, Xu Shijiu is not afraid of death. Dialectics has fully proved that with life there must be death, and with birth there must be death. Everyone will eventually go to the inevitable final destination of death, whether they are civilians or prominent people. All the emperors, generals and ministers will eventually disappear. So Xu Jiujiu is not afraid of death, or in other words, he has actually earned more than ten years more, because under normal circumstances, if he is shot in the head, he will die on the spot, but he has the bullet left in his head. After living for a full thirteen years, he had already made money. ¡°However, Xu Jiujiu didn¡¯t want to leave any regrets for himself. Of course, Xu Jiujiu also hoped that the folks in Chizhou could get rid of the enslavement of Little Japan earlier and live a life of pride and pride earlier. "Captain, do you really want to attack Chizhou?" Li Zihan also asked. "It's a real fight." Xu Shijiu said, "The Japanese UR Division finished the Battle of Changheng and then participated in the Battle of Liugui. It has not rested for more than six months. Now it is exhausted, and it happened twice in a row. After the battle, their losses in personnel and equipment cannot be replenished so quickly, so we still have a great chance, and more importantly" Xu Jiujiu paused here, waiting for Gao Shenxing, Li Zihan's eyes fell on his face, and then he continued: "More importantly, if we can annihilate Little Japan's UR Division in southern Anhui, it will greatly damage Little Japan's morale, and the battlefield in Central China may also change. Enter counterattack." Gao Shenxing said: "Old Xu, since you have decided to attack Chizhou, of course we fully support it, but in terms of strength, our 19th detachment has less than 20,000 people, and the Japanese UR Division has passed by After two consecutive major battles, the number of troops will probably not be less than 10,000. Therefore, we do not have much advantage in terms of strength. Therefore, if possible, I think we should seek the support of the 7th Division of the New Fourth Army. "The Seventh Division of the New Fourth Army? "Xu Shijiu was hesitant. Since the last time he shot Liu Chang, the relationship between Xu Shijiu and the Communist Party took a turn for the worse, once reaching the point of becoming tense. Later, as the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China corrected the purity campaign launched by Kang Sheng, Xu Shijiu The relationship between the Nine and the Communist Party has eased. However, until now, the relationship between the two parties has not returned to the original state. Therefore, Xu Shijiu said with a smile: "Old Xu, I'm afraid you don't know that Awen is back. " "Oh, Awen is back? Xu Jiujiu's heart moved. This is good news. Li Zihan on the side said: "So what if Awen comes back? He is not the commander of the Seventh Division." " Gao Shenxing glared at Li Zihan and said unhappily: "Awen is indeed only the deputy commander of the 7th Division of the New Fourth Army now, but there is news that Lao He will be transferred soon, and Awen is here to take over. Lao He's position came from the fact that the Seventh Division was the old foundation of the former Wannan detachment, and Awen could be regarded as the old commander of this unit. " Seeing that Xu Shijiu was a little moved, Li Zihan was not willing to stand behind others and said hurriedly: "Captain, the New Fourth Army only has a few broken guns and more people. I'm afraid it won't be of much use. I suggest this because of my humble position. , we should still take joint action with the Third Army. " "The third army? "Xu Shijiu said. Li Zihan hummed, and then said: "Captain, I'm afraid you still don't know that the First Army is no longer what it used to be. The equipment of the 75th Division and the 10th Division has been completely new, and the equipment of the 40th Division has been replaced. It became all American weapons and equipment, and there was also an American howitzer regiment. " "No matter how good the equipment is, it depends on who uses it. Gao Shenxing sneered and said, "In the hands of the Central Army, even the most sophisticated weapons and equipment are not much better than fire sticks." " "Lao Gao, what do you mean? Li Zihan said, "How about we let your seventh division fight with our third army?" Let¡¯s see whether it was the 7th Division that destroyed the 25th Army, or the 25th Army that destroyed your 7th Division? " "I'll just fight. Are you still afraid of you?" "Gao Shenxing said coldly, "However, Li Zihan, I can tell you responsibly that in the end, the losers will definitely be your army and the beautiful weapons and equipment that your army has just replaced. In the end, it will definitely be our seventh army. Teacher's. " Gao Shenxing and Li Zihan would not have thought that today's quarrel would become a cruel fact a few years later. In the second stage of the Liberation War, Chiang Kai-shek gathered the most elite art mechanics to launch a major attack on the Shandong Liberated Areas and Yan'an In the offensive, the reorganized 25th Division based on Huang Baitao's 25th Army was like a sharp knife inserted straight into the Shandong Liberated Area. The 13th Column of Dongye suffered consecutive defeats in Nanma and Linqu, and continuously lost Yimeng Mountain. The liberated areas, Jiaodong, and Yantai completely cut off the connection between Northeast China and Shandong. At least in Shandong, Chiang Kai-shek could be said to have fully realized his tactical intentions, so he awarded Huang Baitao the highest military honor, the "First Class Medal of Baoding", even among all senior generals of the People's Liberation Army. Su Yu, who is best at commanding large corps in combat, also lamented that in one-on-one attacks, positions and defensive battles, Higashino JujiAmong these columns, no one could defeat Huang Baitao's reorganized division. At that time, Dipei, with Shu Tongwen as the division commander, was in the 14th Column of Dongye, and Li Zihan had already become the division commander of the 40th Brigade. Dipei and the 40th Brigade started a decisive battle in the Yimeng Mountains. The offensive was extremely sharp, and the defense line of Di Pei was continuously broken through. As a last resort, Shu Tongwen had no choice but to give up the defensive position and withdraw from the battle. The Gao Shenxing Independent Brigade of the Di Pei was ordered to cut off the rear and was almost completely wiped out by Li Zihan's 40th Brigade. But just a year later, Dipei avenged himself in Nianzhuang. In the battle of Nianzhuang, Dongye's 14th column took the lead in attacking Huang Baitao's 7th Corps. Shu Tongwen and Dipei were the first to break into the Nianzhuang position. Li Mu's reconnaissance company updated Like a sharp knife thrust straight into Huang Baitao's regiment headquarters, Huang Baitao was also shot dead by Li Mu during his hasty breakout. However, Gao Shenxing escaped by mistake and finally fled to Taiwan. In the Battle of Huaihai, the Kuomintang called it the Battle of Xuwa. Chiang Kai-shek mobilized a total of 800,000 of the most elite Central Army troops to engage in a strategic decisive battle with the Central China Field Army and the East China Field Army's 10,000-strong People's Liberation Army, regarding the final ownership of the sovereignty of mainland China. This is a classic battle that can be recorded in the annals of world military history. The PLA, with its relatively inferior strength and absolutely inferior equipment, almost completely annihilated the most elite Central Army of the Kuomintang. From a military perspective, this is simply Impossible things to happen. The failure of the Huaihai Battle was definitely not due to the weak fighting will of the officers and soldiers of the Central Army. In fact, the RU 10,000 Central Army who participated in the Huaihai Campaign were all veterans of the eight-year war of resistance. Each of them had served on the battlefield. They fought bloody battles with the Japanese aggressors, and each of them had an iron will. Under the same conditions, their combat effectiveness was only stronger than that of the People's Liberation Army. The failure of the Huaihai Battle was not due to the fact that the senior generals of the Central Army did not know how to command and fight. Above, Du Yuming, the commander-in-chief of the "Suppression General" in Xuzhou, is definitely a rare tiger general. Compared with the Communist Party's Su Yu and Lin Biao, Du Yuming also has powerful generals like Huang Baitao, Qiu Qingquan and Huang Wei under his command. It can be said that at the level of commander-in-chief, Chiang Kai-shek is not at the same level as Mao Zedong. However, in the Battle of Huaihai, Chiang Kai-shek gave Yu Mingjue absolute trust and overcame his previous shortcomings. He was not at all inferior to Yu Mingjue's frontline command. . But even so, the Kuomintang still lost the Huaihai Battle, and then the entire continent. In fact, the main reason why the Kuomintang lost the Huaihai Battle was that it lost its logistics. The RU Ten Thousand Kuomintang troops are indeed elite, and all of them are equipped with beautiful weapons and equipment, but while the beautiful weapons and equipment have strong firepower output, they must also There is strong logistical support. If there is no strong logistical support, the more American weapons and equipment, the greater the trouble. After the People's Liberation Army destroyed several major railways and highways in the Xuzhou battlefield, the logistics supply of RU Wan's elite Kuomintang troops immediately fell into trouble. . On the other hand, the People's Liberation Army needs a huge number of supplies every day to support its tens of thousands of troops. However, the People's Liberation Army has the support of tens of millions of people in the Central Plains. Millions of civilians brave the bombings of the National Army aircraft and work day and night. They risked their lives to deliver supplies to the front line and ensured the combat needs of the tens of thousands of UU troops. Therefore, Chen Yicai said that the victory in the Huaihai Battle was achieved by the common people in the Liberated Areas of the Central Plains using wheelbarrows. Why do the people of the Central Plains help the People's Liberation Army but not the National Army? Because the Kuomintang has lost the hearts of the people during the eight-year war of resistance. The common people in North China, Northeast China, and the Central Plains have been slaves to the subjugation for eight years. During these eight years, they only saw the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army fighting bloody battles with the Japanese with inferior equipment, while those troops left behind by the Kuomintang behind enemy lines defected one after another. They overthrew the Wang puppet government and turned into a puppet army. The common people are easy to fool and not easy to fool. They are usually docile, tolerant, and cowardly. But when the fate of the country reaches a crossroads and they need to make the final decision, they vote for the Communist Party without hesitation. .
