"Soldiers are impermanent, water is impermanent, and those who can win due to changes in the enemy are called gods, so the five elements are impermanent, the four times are impermanent, the days are short and long, and the months are dead and alive" "Sun Tzu's Art of War, Fiction and Reality".
In view of the various contradictions between the military forces of the Kuomintang in the northwest, the command organ of the Northwest Field Army, represented by Mr. Peng, formulated an office to solve the problem in the northwest by both military and political means
First, use the 18th Corps of Commander Zhou Shidi to suppress Hu Zongnan's troops.
Second, use the 64th Army of Commander Yang Dezhi of the 19th Corps to contain the Ma Hongkui group in Ningxia.
Third, the 1st Corps of Commander Wang Zhen, the 2nd Corps of Commander Xu Guangda, and the main force of the 19th Corps (63rd Army, 65th Army and troops directly under the army) of Commander Yang Dezhi were used to encircle the Qingma Army in Lanzhou.
The specific deployment is as follows: The first corps is the left corps, which will take Wushan, Longxi, and Lintao along the Xilan Highway, and cross the Daxia River to take Xining directly after succeeding, cut off the retreat route of the Qingma Army from Gansu to Qinghai, and prevent the Qingma Army from running back to its old nest.
The Second Corps was the Middle Route Army, which went west from Zhuanglang and Lianhua Town, and attacked and advanced to the southwest of Lanzhou through Tongwei, encircling the defenders of Lanzhou.
The 19th Corps (owed to the 64th Army) was the right route army, which marched south through Delong and Guyuan on the border of Gansu and Ningxia, and attacked and advanced east of Lanzhou through Xinglong Town, Huining, Dingxi, and Lanzhou.
The total strength of the First Field Army consisted of four corps (1st, 2nd, 18th, and 19th Corps) and 12 corps, plus some directly subordinate units and local armed forces.
Yiye's battle plan seems to be seamless, but after careful analysis, there are also many uncertain variables in it, among which Hu Zongnan's Central Army is not very variable, because the current remnants of Hu Zongnan still have about 100,000 military forces, and the strength of the 18th Corps of the People's Liberation Army, which is responsible for maneuvering with them, is also about 100,000, and the strength of the two armies is about the same.
The so-called strength here is almost a simple comparison in numbers, but the real combat effectiveness is very difficult to compare, Hu Zongnan's troops are demoralized, the morale is weak, and it is not easy to stabilize the current situation, let alone fight with the 18th Corps of the People's Liberation Army with a high will to fight, these central officers and soldiers with a heart higher than the sky also know this, so they think that they can survive in the depths of the mountains of the Qinling Mountains, and once they get out of the mountain, it is estimated that they will soon be eaten by the People's Liberation Army that follows them.
History sometimes coincides strangely, the commander of the 18th Corps of the People's Liberation Army and his opponent Kuomintang General Hu Zongnan are classmates of Huangpu, both of whom were born in the first phase of Huangpu, but in the second half of 49 years, they fought for life and death in Qinling.
With the strong attack of the 18th Corps of the People's Liberation Army, Hu Zongnan has already crossed the river as a mud bodhisattva, and it is impossible to expect them to rescue Lanzhou.
Therefore, the biggest variable in the Lanzhou campaign was the Ma Hongkui group in Ningxia, Ma Hongkui's Ningma army had five armies of nearly 100,000 people, although Yinchuan was defeated, but the main force did not suffer major losses, and the basic strength was still there.
In order to concentrate absolutely superior forces to encircle and annihilate the Qingma Army, Mr. Peng transferred the 63rd Army and the 65th Army, the main forces of the 19th Corps, to the attack on Lanzhou. There's a lot of learning here.
The task assigned to the 64th Army by Ye Si was to contain the Ningxia Ma Hongkui group, and when the main force of the Northwest Field Army surrounded the Qingma Army, the Ningma Army could not make a move that threatened the attack on the Lanzhou troops.
Such a task is very difficult, the 64th Army did not participate in the siege of Lanzhou, but the pressure it was under was not less than that of the troops attacking Lanzhou, because in order to make the Ningma Army have no rescue action, it is necessary to exert considerable pressure on the enemy, but once the pressure is applied, in the face of the Ningma Army with five armies, the 64th Army is very likely to be surrounded by superior enemies, and then the 64th Army will not only fail to complete the task, but will also suffer heavy losses.
The difficulties faced by the troops, Mr. Peng and the leaders of the Ye Division, of course, are well aware of it, and at this time they can see the energy of the two plans, military and political, while maintaining strong pressure on the enemy militarily, the Northwest Field Army also launched a political offensive against the enemy, the enemy here specifically refers to the Ma Hongkui group in Ningxia, the Ma Jiajun in Qinghai, the vast number of officers and soldiers of the Northwest Field Army did not think of letting them surrender or adopt any political offensive at all, and the Qingma Army did not want to surrender. There was too much hatred accumulated between the two armies, and they had to use a life-and-death struggle to solve the problem.
The five armies of the Ma Hongkui group in Ningxia were Ma Guangzong's 11th Army, Lu Zhongliang's 128th Army, Ma Quanliang's Helan Army, Ma Dunhou's 10th Army, and the other was the 81st Army with Ma Hongbin's son Ma Chunjing as the commander.
The Ningma Army has five armies, of which Ma Hongkui can command the 10th Army, the 11th Army, the 128th Army, and the Helan Army, while the 81st Army is Ma Hongbin's troops.
The work to be done by the Northwest Field Army is to start with this 81st Army, although Ma Hongkui and Ma Hongbin are brothers, when the two are not harmonious, Ma Hongbin thinks that he has no big hatred with the first people, so he can't commit the fight with the People's Liberation Army, and during the Anti-Japanese War, he once supported the idea of stopping the civil war and unanimously resisting Japan, and he also had certain contacts with the first people.
For this reason, the Northwest Field Army sent special personnel to do the work of the Ma family father and son, and did their best to win the uprising of the 81st Army, compared with other units of the Kuomintang, the People's Liberation Army is still relatively sure of this 81st Army, even if they can't make up their minds to revolt for the time being, they will not launch an attack on the PLA, and it is enough to do this.
For another opponent Ma Hongkui, the strategy of the People's Liberation Army has changed, Ma Hongkui is different from Ma Hongbin, this guy not only has no friendship with ** people, but also ** diehards, it is too difficult to make him revolt or surrender, but the way is not nothing, although it is difficult to win this guy, but it can make him shake within a certain range, Ma Hongkui has no good impression of the Qingma Army, coupled with the PLA's political offensive, it is impossible for him to rescue the Qingma Army in Lanzhou, as long as Ma Hongkui can stand still, The People's Liberation Army has already achieved its intentions.
To put it simply, before launching an attack on the Qingma Army in Lanzhou, the Northwest Field Army must stabilize the Ma Jiajun in Ningxia, win over one of the armies to revolt, and find a way to keep the remaining four armies still, so as to achieve the operational intention of concentrating superior forces to encircle the Qingma Army.
The idea is good, and the strategy is also very good, but it takes a lot of thought to let who complete this task, and if you want Ma Hongkui to waver, you have to launch a heart-to-heart tactic against him, so this character must have weight, and he must be able to speak in front of Ma Hongkui, and it is best to have a certain friendship.
In the end, Mr. Peng finally remembered a person, this person was Fu Zuoyi, the former senior general of the Kuomintang who rebelled in Beiping.
Fu Zuoyi is Ma Hongkui's brother, and the personal relationship between the two is very good, and it must be much better than others for him to persuade him.
In order to stabilize the Ma Jiajun in Ningxia, the command organ of the Northwest Field Army can be said to have done a lot of work, including a share of General Fu Zuoyi's contributions, so General Fu Zuoyi alone played a great role in the process of the Liberation War (the peaceful uprising in Beiping, the surrender of the Suiyuan Army, and the uncertainty of the Ma Jiajun in Ningxia all have his credit, not a chapter in this book, but not too much to explain).
At the end of the meeting, Mr. Peng praised the troops that had made a prominent performance in the pursuit operation, including the independent brigade of the Second Army, and Mr. Peng said in a deep voice:
"With the strength of one brigade, it can completely annihilate one brigade of the enemy in the pursuit and annihilation operation, and then defeat another division, which shows that this unit has a tenacious fighting style, a brilliant military mind, and an extremely outstanding military strategy.
Mr. Peng's words made Wang Zhen, commander of the First Corps, Guo Peng, commander of the Second Army, and Wang Enmao, political commissar of the Second Army, look bright, and the fact that he showed his face was indeed happy.
There was a lot of discussion at the meeting, and it was not the first time that Mr. Peng praised this independent brigade of the Second Army in public, and the unit that could make Mr. Peng so happy did not have a second unit in the Northwest Field Army.
Commander Wang was happy and grinned happily: "Hehe, my Wang's bearded soldiers are all good, others can't compare, want to know the experience?" That's very easy to do, 10 heavy machine guns for one person, plus 20,000 rounds of ammunition, and I'll tell you about my experience, how about it? â
The whole venue was in an uproar, everyone quit, and some commanders said, "You, the king's beard, still don't let people live?" What babe experience is so delicate? If more than a dozen armies give you ten heavy machine guns, your second army will not be able to go to the sky?
Commander Wang didn't hear the dissatisfaction of others, and withdrew his voice and shouted: "What treasure experience? Sue you, the 14th Brigade of the Green Horse Army is Ma Bufang's most effective unit, known as the Iron Cavalry in the Green Horse Army, if you are not convinced, think about it, who can take out a division-level unit and fight so beautifully with this 14th Brigade alone? âtīŧã
