Liu Hua's revenge

Huai'an City, a huge city, was mostly destroyed by the fire in a few days of street fighting. However, with the end of the battle, tens of thousands of East China Field Army were stationed. The city, which was completely shrouded in blood and gunpowder smoke and had been beaten into ruins, was cleaned up in the first place, and the whole city became orderly.

Of course, as the city was cleaned up, the General Headquarters of the East China Field Army, along with the main force, was also stationed in the headquarters of the former Seventh Corps.

Although, in the decisive battle of Huai'an for a few days, the East China Field Army, with a strength of 100,000 troops, achieved a huge result of annihilating a total of 80,000 Japanese puppet troops in the entire northern Jiangsu region in one fell swoop, and stepping the entire northern Jiangsu region under its feet. However, in the vast General Headquarters of the East China Field Army, there was no relaxed and pleasant atmosphere because of the tremendous results of this battle.

"Chief of Staff, you are sure that you are not wrong about the data just now. In the entire decisive battle, our East China Field Army paid a huge price of more than 15,000 killed and more than 7,000 seriously wounded...."In the command, in a solemn atmosphere, Commander-in-Chief Liu Hua asked Zuo Quan, Chief of Staff, with an incredible expression.

After all, the huge casualties of 20,000 can be called a wound for the East China Field Army, which has a total strength of only 100,000. One is not good, the entire East China Field Army, in a short period of time, had to recuperate because of huge casualties, and temporarily lost the ability to continue the offensive.

"Yes, Commander-in-Chief. Among the five combat corps, the Sixth Corps suffered more than 2,000 casualties, and the Eighth, Ninth, Tenth, and Third Corps suffered less than 1,500 casualties each. However, the Seventh Corps, because of the street fighting with hundreds of thousands of Japanese puppet troops for several days in Huai'an, paid more than 16,000 casualties. At present, the entire Seventh Corps, including all the lightly wounded, has less than 4,000 troops left..."Chief of Staff Zuo Quan replied with great certainty.

"There are less than 4,000 troops left....Commander Deng, how is this doing..."Liu Hua's eyes immediately fell on Deng Hua, who had a solemn face. Then, very dissatisfied, he asked.

"Yes, Commander-in-Chief. During the entire battle to defend the city, our army seriously lacked heavy firepower, in order to avoid the death and injury of the Japanese artillery fire to our garrison troops, and weaken the threat of the Japanese heavy firepower to our army. I can only order the troops and the enemy to carry out street battles with the help of the favorable street fighting fortifications of Huai'an City. And in the whole street battle, the enemy occupied an absolute superiority in strength, so it caused very heavy casualties to our army...."Commander Deng Hua replied with a solemn face.

"That's it....although your 7th Corps paid a huge price of more than 16,000 casualties in the middle of the entire street fighting. However, according to post-war statistics, during the entire battle, our army eliminated more than 30,000 little devils, almost two-thirds of the number, are all due to you. Coupled with the large number of corpses of Imperial Cooperative Army soldiers in the city. In the entire street battle, you almost achieved a huge result of destroying 30,000 enemies. Such a casualty ratio is already unimaginable in street fighting...."After reading the battle report in detail again, Liu Hua replied.

However, just when everyone secretly breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that the commander-in-chief would not continue to entangle in this matter. Commander-in-Chief Liu Hua's words changed, followed closely behind, and continued to speak with an angry face.

"Of course, in the first battle of Huai'an, although we won the entire northern Jiangsu region. However, our East China Field Army also paid a very heavy price accordingly. To be honest, I'm very dissatisfied with this huge price. Therefore, I intend to take revenge, take revenge on the Central China Front, and make them pay the price of blood to avenge the sacrificed soldiers. "Commander-in-chief, what are you going to do." Although there are less than 4,000 men left in my 7th Corps. However, as long as it is to take revenge on the little devils, the remaining 4,000 people of my Seventh Corps, no matter what, will act as the vanguard of the whole army...."Commander Deng Hua, who suffered the largest casualties in this battle, said with an eager face. Obviously, the words of Commander-in-Chief Liu Hua just went to his heart.

"Commander Deng, don't worry, I understand your current mood. However, I think that the urgency of your delay now is not to take revenge on the little devils with a force of less than 4,000 people left, but to rest. From the prisoners, a group of soldiers will be transferred, and in the shortest possible time, the Seventh Corps will be able to regain its pre-war combat effectiveness...."Political Commissar Deng Xiaoping, who had not spoken, spoke.

Regarding the political commissar's order, Deng Hua, as the commander, was very reluctant in his heart. However, in the face of the facts, he had to bow his head, and then he replied: "Yes, commissar, I understand...."

Seeing Deng Hua close his mouth with a depressed face, Liu Hua did not hesitate, and asked Zuo Quan, the chief of staff beside him: "Chief of Staff, have you encountered any major difficulties in the process of sending out to receive the various combat units in northern Jiangsu?" “

"Not yet. With the assistance of the captured officers of the Imperial Army, the various units were almost a dozen and one accurate. So far, various combat units have successively exterminated more than 3,000 little devils. At the same time, he also took more than 6,000 prisoners of the Imperial Allied Army....", replied the chief of staff.

"Is there any other news?" Liu Hua did not seem particularly satisfied with the chief of staff's answer. Then, he continued to ask.

"There's... There are two problems, first, in addition to hundreds of thousands of Japanese puppet troops in northern Jiangsu, there are nearly hundreds of thousands of Japanese expatriates. In the process of our army's suppression of bandits, these overseas Chinese have caused very great harm and threat to our army, and some overseas Chinese armed forces have even directly attacked our army. ”

"Second, there is the issue of the disposal of Japanese nationals and traitors who have not attacked our troops in the territory, as well as those landlords who have completely fallen to the Japanese army, including their property....", replied Chief of Staff Zuo Quan.

"Okay, since this is the case, then the first object of our army's retaliation is all the Japanese expatriates and all traitors in the entire northern Jiangsu...."With his own target of revenge, Liu Hua's face was immediately shrouded in excitement.

"Commander-in-chief, I can understand revenge on traitors. However, those Japanese expatriates, will it be too much..."Political Commissar Deng Xiaoping, who did not know much about Liu Hua's style and some rules of the former Northeast Field Army, asked with a worried face.

"No problem....political commissar, instead of letting these expatriate traitors, harass us in the back and stab us in the back when the main force of the Japanese army counterattacks northern Jiangsu. It's better now, take advantage of this time to suppress the bandits and take them down in one fell swoop. Of course, for these expatriates, I will not shoot them to death directly like I did with little devils, this, you can relax...."As he spoke, the corners of Commander-in-Chief Liu Hua's mouth showed a sly sneer.

Before everyone could react, Liu Hua's face was shrouded in a serious look at once. Then, he opened his mouth to the chief of staff in front of him, Zuo Quan, and ordered.

"Chief of Staff, immediately give the latest orders to the various combat units on the front:

In the process of suppressing bandits, all Japanese nationals who dared to resist in the territory were equivalent to Japanese soldiers who laid down their arms in accordance with our army's combat regulations, and all of them were killed and their property confiscated.

In the course of the war, other Japanese nationals in the territory who have not resisted are treated against civilians of the hostile country in accordance with international regulations

Confiscate all their property for confiscation. At the same time, all the strong men among the captives were reorganized in accordance with the operational regulations of the former Northeast Field Army, and as the engineering units of our Central China Field Army, the communication routes of the entire base area were revised. The rest of the prisoners were handed over to the field army headquarters and handed over to the Central China Front of the Japanese army for processing. ..., in the course of the battle, all captured traitors, in accordance with the regulations of wartime, meet the standards of shooting, and all are shot. Those who did not meet the standard of shooting were also reorganized into engineering units of our army in accordance with the operational regulations of the former Northeast Field Army. As for its property, it was confiscated and used as development funds for the local government.

All landlords who defected to the Japanese army in the territory were fined in various amounts according to the crimes they committed, and all the funds for the fines were handed over to the local government as development funds. At the same time, order the General Staff to immediately study and come up with a specific fine regulation...."

"Okay, Chief of Staff, that's all there is to it for the time being. These four orders were immediately sent by telegram to all combat units on the front, and all combat units were required to immediately carry out the new combat orders from the day they received the telegram. ”

"Commander-in-chief, your order, it can be said that it is like half of a steel needle, and it has been fiercely inserted into the heart of the commander-in-chief of the Central China Front, Matsui Shigen. What's more, this needle went down, and he couldn't say it...."After quickly recording the order. Chief of Staff Zuo Quan replied with a wry smile.

"Matsui Shigen, an old devil, wants to trap our East China Field Army in northern Jiangsu through guerrilla warfare. At the same time, after waiting for the main force to return to help, with the cooperation of these guerrillas inside and outside, they recaptured the entire northern Jiangsu region in one fell swoop. Today, I not only want to break his guerrilla warfare, but also have his desire to recapture the northern Jiangsu region..."

"As long as we can use this encirclement and suppression operation, we can completely annihilate all the ground forces in Xinjiang in one fell swoop, and at the same time, uproot all the Japanese puppet forces in the territory. I believe that in less than a week, along with the local governments led by our party, quickly assembled in these areas. The huge northern Jiangsu region will definitely become the most solid base of our army in the shortest possible time..."Liu Hua replied confidently.
