Chapter 23 The changing situation

"Good news, good news...good news for the independent division..."

An excited voice rushed into the courtyard where the Military Commission was resting. It was already late at night, and the voice carried far away. When several leaders came out with their clothes on, they looked towards the door of the courtyard.

Seeing an operator running in excitedly with a telegram, Chief of General Staff Liu Bocheng, who had not rested, glared at him: "Comrade, don't you know that all the leaders have taken a break? It's so loud."

"Commander, commander, the Independent Division has sent good news, good news, annihilated three regiments of the Central Army..." the operator said excitedly despite the criticism from the chief of staff.

"What? Annihilate three regiments of the Central Army? Show it to me. Quick!" the chief of staff was stunned for a moment and said quickly.

"Chairman, Commander-in-Chief, come and see. That boy Liu Hua has given us another surprise. Come and come and see!" The chief of staff exclaimed excitedly after briefly reading the telegram.

"Quick! Show me." Vice Chairman Zhou ran over first.

Seeing that several leaders had arrived, he read: "Central Revolutionary Military Commission: After a night's rest in Xing'an, the Independent Division ordered the first regiment to attack Chaling last night and encircle it without destroying it. The second regiment and the directly affiliated troops were on standby to send out a brigade of troops before the enemy.

During the rescue, he led the second regiment and all directly affiliated troops to ambush the enemy at Mafujiang, 15 miles away from Chaling, annihilating the first brigade, and then captured Chaling and annihilated one enemy regiment. He learned that Anren only had one battalion.

After the defenders attacked Anren again, three battles were fought in total. In this battle, more than 6,000 enemy soldiers were wiped out, more than 1,800 people were captured, and countless weapons and ammunition were seized. We suffered about 150 casualties. Since most of the captured Central Army soldiers were willing to join the Red Army,

I plan to form the third regiment of the independent division, with Comrade Wang Dahu as the regiment leader and Comrade Chen Revolutionary as the political commissar. I hope that the Central Revolutionary Military Commission will approve it. In addition: Our department has decided to take Chaling as the center and develop to the surrounding areas, looking for opportunities to annihilate a large number of enemies.

This allowed the Central Army of the Hunan Army to return reinforcements to cover the main force. Independent Division Commander Liu Hua and Political Commissar Li Qing."

"Okay, okay! This kid Liu Hua is really a hero of our Red Army. He has created another miracle for us, boss! It seems that Lao Peng made the right move in letting Liu Hua return to the East Coast at the beginning." The chairman laughed.

said to the Commander-in-Chief.

"Well, this kid really knows how to fight! Come on! What do you think?" the boss asked when he saw the excited Vice Chairman Zhou.

"Boss, I agree to form the third regiment. After all, it has so many soldiers and so many weapons. It's just that I don't understand their strategy. I still need to discuss it with a few people."

"I think you can. Liu Hua has really vicious eyes. If you choose Chaling, you can enter the Soviet area at any time. You can also directly threaten Changsha, the home base of the Hunan Army. If you encounter heavy encirclement and suppression, you can also directly enter the Jinggangshan area. There is a lot of room for maneuver.

." Chief of Staff Liu Bocheng, the "Military God" of later generations, saw Liu Hua's intention at a glance.

"Yeah! I think it's okay! I agree." The boss said.

"I also agree, and it should be added that we must preserve our strength as the basis and not fight head-on with the enemy." The chairman also said.

"Since everyone agrees, let's sign it! Telegraph operator, send it out immediately!" Vice Chairman Zhou finally concluded.

"I can finally have a good night's sleep again today!" The chairman walked into his room with a smile.

"The division commander, political commissar, and Central Revolutionary Military Commission have called back." The radio operator excitedly ran into the headquarters.

"I am very pleased to hear the telegram. The Central Revolutionary Military Commission has agreed with your ministry to add a third regiment and agreed with your strategic concept. It also requires that your troops' operations must be based on preserving the revolutionary strength and not fight to the death. I hope your troops will serve the Chinese revolution.

The final victory will create greater glory. The Central Revolutionary Military Commission"

After reading this telegram, Liu Hua, as a later generation, knew that there must be something from the chairman in it. Thinking of this, he became more confident in his future.

"What! The second brigade was completely wiped out, and Anren's baggage was also robbed. Say it again." The 21st Division roared.

The operator read the telegram again with fear.

"Damn, how can you be the commander of the second brigade? One brigade was wiped out by one regiment. I want to shoot him."

"Division commander, according to investigation, the commander of the second brigade has been killed and Chaling has been occupied." The chief of staff next to him reminded in a low voice.

"Have you found out how many people ambushed the Second Brigade?" The division commander seemed to be less angry.

"Division commander, according to the investigation, we don't know how many people there are. I just heard in Anren that the unit's designation is the Central Independent Division. I estimate that there are four to five thousand people." The chief of staff replied.

"Hmm! So many!" Thinking that there were four to five thousand Communist troops right next to him, the division commander couldn't help but break into a cold sweat. "Quick! Send a report to Commander Bai quickly, saying that more than 8,000 people from the independent division occupied Chaling this afternoon, and

Completely wipe out the second brigade of our division."

"Commander, is this number of people..." the chief of staff reminded him quickly after hearing the number of people mentioned by the division commander.

"You know nothing, go and tell Commander Bai. Are you telling Commander Bai that a brigade of 4,000 people was wiped out by 4,000 people? You want to go to a military court?"

"Yes, you are wise," the chief of staff said quickly to please him.

"What, a brigade of the 21st Division was completely wiped out by the Communists, and Chaling was lost. Where did the Communists come from with so many people? Aren't all the Communists on the east coast wiped out?" Commander Bai looked at the 21st Division.

The incoming telegram said doubtfully.

"Commander in Chief, did the 21st Division lie about military information? Or the National Army on the east coast lied about military information!" said the Chief of Staff. You must know that there are many factions in the National Army now, and many of them lie about military information in order to preserve their strength and get rid of their responsibilities.

"Well, it's possible. After all, the 21st Division lost a brigade. It shouldn't be the case. It must be the national army on the east coast." After hearing what the chief of staff said, Chief Bai shook his head.

"Send a report to Chairman Chiang immediately and truthfully report the situation here."

At this time, Chairman Chiang was looking at the map, thinking that the people who had been rampant for many years had finally escaped under his siege. The Chairman couldn't help but smiled proudly. You must know that annihilation has been his only dream in the past few years. Now,

It's finally done.

Just when he was feeling complacent, Army Commander Chen Cheng hurriedly walked into the combat command room.

"Ci Xiu! What happened? You are so panicked." Seeing Chairman Chen Cheng rushing in, he said with a smile without changing his expression.

"Chairman, no good, something happened,"

"What is it that makes you so anxious?" Many years of political career have created Chiang Kai-shek's calm demeanor in dealing with things.

"Chief Bai called, another group was found on the east bank of the Xiangjiang River, designated as the Central Independent Division, with more than 8,000 people."

"Could it be that they made a mistake, or lied about the military situation?" Chairman Chiang was still very confident in the dragnet he had laid. He believed that the east coast had been completely wiped out by him, and even the remaining remnants did not pose much of a threat.

.

"Chairman of the Generalissimo, it shouldn't be the case. They have now occupied Chaling and wiped out a brigade of Bai Chongxi's 21st Division."

"What? An entire brigade was wiped out. Where did these people come from?" Chairman Chiang, who had always been calm and calm, also became angry.

"The call from Chief Bai must have slipped through the net by the river, and it is to reorganize the troops, because the Communist Army has never had the designation of the Central Independent Division." Chen Cheng lowered his head and did not dare to look at the Chairman.

"The fish that slipped through the net, how come there are so many fish that slipped through the net? Check it out for me. You must find out clearly. They are going to destroy the foundation of the party and the country. You must find out for me. All generals who lied about military information will be handed over to the military.

The court will deal with it." After Chiang Kai-shek heard what Chen Cheng said, he was completely furious. His dream was almost coming true, and suddenly 8,000 people showed up. How could he not be angry?

"Yes, the students must find out clearly and give an explanation to the principal." Chen Cheng replied quickly.

"Well, how many troops do we still have on the east bank of the Xiangjiang River?" After listening to Chen Cheng's words, Chairman Chiang felt much better.

"Report to the principal, there are four divisions from Chief Bai's department and two divisions from Zhou Hunyuan's department that have not crossed the river."

"Okay, there are so many people, and we are afraid of an independent division. Order Zhou Hunyuan's two divisions not to cross the river and return them to Bai Chongxi's command. They must completely annihilate the enemy troops. Tell Bai Chongxi that they must prevent the Communist army from fighting back.

base area.”

"Yes, the students will send the report immediately." Chen Cheng hurriedly walked out of the war room with his head already covered with sweat.

"Commander-in-Chief, the Chairman is calling."

"read"

"It is heard that the independent division of the Communist Army has returned. I have ordered Zhou Hunyuan's two divisions that have not crossed the river to be put under your command. Please make sure to completely wipe out this enemy force. Not one person will slip through the net, and prevent it from returning to the Soviet area. Chiang Kai-shek"

"Chief of Staff, we have six divisions now. You have to draw up a battle plan quickly. It seems that Chairman Chiang has made great efforts this time. Haha..." Chief Bai said to the Chief of Staff with a smile.

"Yes, I must come up with a battle plan as soon as possible."

At this time, Liu Hua was lying in bed thinking about his future path, but he didn't know that a siege against him was about to begin.

"Commander, commander, the central government is calling."

Liu Hua suddenly got up from the bed and walked out of the bedroom.

"According to radio investigation, Chiang Kai-shek has ordered two divisions of Zhou Hunyuan's department to occupy the river, and together with six divisions of Bai Chongxi's department, they plan to encircle and suppress your department. We hope to make preparations for counter-encirclement and suppression in advance. Central Revolutionary Military Commission,"

So fast! You have targeted me so quickly. Liu Hua sighed secretly.

"Correspondent, inform the political commissar, the heads of each regiment, the political commissar, and the battalion and company commanders of the directly affiliated troops to have a meeting at the division headquarters at seven o'clock tomorrow morning. Also, call me Liu Xiaogang."

"Commander, the commander of the reconnaissance company, Liu Xiaogang, is here to report." Looking at Liu Xiaogang in front of him, Liu Hua couldn't bear it.

"Xiao Gang, how is the situation of the reconnaissance company now?"

Liu Xiaogang knew there was another mission and immediately said, "Report to the division commander, the morale of the entire reconnaissance company is high."

"Okay, now I give orders to send out all the reconnaissance companies, spread to the surrounding area, go to the supply camp to pick up the horses, no one has a horse, investigate the enemy's situation, pay special attention to Zhuzhou, Jinggangshan, Anren, Jiangbian Zhou Hunyuan Division"

Please report any situation immediately."

"Yes, the reconnaissance company will resolutely complete the mission." Looking at Liu Xiaogang walking away, Liu Hua returned to the room and began to think about future operations.
