Descending to the north of the curtain?

The war in North China was urgent, in order to replace the sick Xu Shuai, the central government sent Mr. Peng to the Taiyuan front line to organize the Taiyuan Campaign.

Because of Ge, Mr. Peng didn't have any bold words and determination, and he wouldn't say those words, but just said softly: "Please rest assured, chairman, I'll try." ”

On March 28, Mr. Peng arrived at the Taiyuan front, where the battle was in full swing, and immediately organized the siege of the city after replacing the seriously ill commander-in-chief Xu Xiangqian.

At the same time that the North China Field Army was attacking Taiyuan with all its might, the rest of the major field armies were not idle, and the second, third, and fourth field offensives were frequently reported, and the battlefields of the whole country were all turned into a pot of porridge; on 23 April, another exciting news came: Nanjing, the capital of the Kuomintang, known as the gold powder of the Six Dynasties, was conquered by the People's Liberation Army.

When the news came, the morale of the officers and men of the North China Field Army in the Jī War had grown to the peak, and the Kuomintang had been taken down by us, and Yanxi Mountain in Taiyuan could still jump for a few days???

Nanjing was conquered, so that the Kuomintang defenders in Shanxi were like mourning, the officers and soldiers no longer had the courage and spirit to persevere, they also understood that it was useless to be trapped in the lonely city, no matter how hard they tried, the Kuomintang government was already a building about to collapse, and it was difficult to support it alone.

On the second day after the liberation of Nanjing, that is, on April 24, Taiyuan, which was guarded by the Kuomintang heavy military group, was conquered by the North China Field Army, the Kuomintang defenders were completely annihilated, and the entire territory of Shanxi was liberated.

On 25 April 1949, the day after the end of the Taiyuan Campaign, the Central Military Commission sent a telegram to Xu Xiangqian, Zhou Shidi, and Luo Ruiqing: "From now on, the 18th and 19th Corps of the North China Field Army will be changed to the First Field Army's battle sequence, and the subsequent operations, supplies, and training will all be under the command of Comrade Peng Dehuai. ”

After eight years of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and about three years of the War of Liberation, the first people gradually formed five major military groups.

First, the Northwest Field Army with Peng Dehuai as the leader. (Ichino)

Second, the Central Plains Field Army with Liu Bocheng and Deng *Ping as the head. (Nino)

Third, the East China Field Army with Chen Yi and Su Y-. (Sanno)

Fourth, the North China Field Army with Xu Xiangqian and Nie Rongzhen as the leader.

Fifth, the Northeast Field Army with ** and Luo Ronghuan as the leader. (Shino)

Among the five major military groups, the weakest is the Northwest Field Army led by Mr. Peng (there were only 100,000 people in 49), and the most powerful is of course the Northeast Field Army (when entering the customs, the troops were expanded to more than 1.3 million, and they were equipped with jīg Liang, and there were several Japanese mechanics, American mechanics, and Soviet mechanics in the troops, as well as a large number of tanks and artillery and some aircraft).

However, during the large-scale reorganization of the whole army in 49, only the names of the four major field armies were set, and the powerful North China Field Army did not enter the battle sequence of the national field army.

If the normal troops were reorganized, the North China Field Army, which was directly under the Party Central Committee and the Central Military Commission, would have been called the Fifth Field Army, but the Central Committee, taking into account the weak strength of the First Field Army and the Second Field Army, dismantled the North China Field Army and added it to these two field armies in the later stage of the Liberation War, so the battle sequence of the People's Liberation Army was the four major field armies and there was no fifth field army.

After Taiyuan was conquered by the People's Liberation Army, Mr. Peng, in accordance with the orders of the Central Military Commission, took the 18th Corps (under the jurisdiction of the 60th, 61st, and 62nd Armies) and the 19th Corps (with jurisdiction over the 63rd, 64th, and 65th Armies) of the North China Field Army, as well as the Seventh Army of the Chinese People's Liberation Army, which had previously been subordinate to the Northwest Field Army (the Seventh Column of the Northwest Field Army in northern Shaanxi had never fallen, and the commander Peng Shaohui, a native of Shaoshan, Hunan, the Pingjiang Uprising in 28, and a general in the 55th year), as well as a heavy artillery division supported by the Northeast Field Army to the North China Field Army. A total of seven corps and one artillery division, more than 200,000 people, overwhelmingly pressed towards the northwest.

The People's Liberation Army made such a big move, of course, Hu Zongnan's intelligence system would detect it, and this king of the northwest was calculating with his fingers crossed, if the communist army transferred the troops from North China to two corps, their total strength would reach an unprecedented nearly 400,000, which is a terrifying-sounding number, although his own Central Army and Erma's troops together also have more than 300,000, and the number is not much less than that of the communist army, but the quality of the two armies is completely different.

The officers and men of the PLA are united, the military orders are unified, and the morale is high, but on the contrary, they are suspicious of each other, the people's hearts are scattered, the morale is low, and the government orders are not compatible.

There are still more than 300,000 Kuomintang troops on the northwest battlefield, but these 300,000 people are divided into several parts or factions, and between the central army and the local army, and between the troops of Ma Bufang and Ma Hongkui, they are still guarding against each other, and they all want each other to fight to the death with the People's Liberation Army for the dead ghosts and the first birds, and they themselves will do the profit of the fishmen.

The regime is about to collapse, but these people are still fighting in their nests, how can they fight against the PLA with such more than 300,000 people?

In the Kuomintang army, the army is like an individual's property, and as many soldiers as there are officers, once the troops are wiped out, they are nothing, of course, except for the students of Chairman Chiang, Whampoa students are the henchmen of the leader, and the troops can be rebuilt, and the officials can also be re-employed.

** in the army is completely free of these drawbacks, in the PLA troops, all the one qiē is the party, the predecessor of the Northwest Field Army is the Red Second Front Army, that is, the later Eighth Route Army 120 Division, this is a force brought out by Mr. He Longhe, but in the War of Liberation, Mr. He in accordance with the order of the Central Military Commission, the troops were completely given to Mr. Peng, and he fully supported Mr. Peng's work without a little complaint, in the later stage of the war, The central government directly transferred Xu Shuai's two corps of the North China Field Army to the Northwest Field Army, Xu Shuai, like Mr. He, took out the troops that he had worked so hard to bring out, and did his best to support Mr. Peng's work. (The same is true for the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, ** gave Siye completely to Mr. Peng)

Don't look at Hu Zongnan's war is not Mr. Peng's opponent, but this guy is not a fool, knowing the gap between the Kuomintang troops and the PLA, by 49 years, the Kuomintang army is no longer the opponent of the PLA by hard work, since it is not an opponent, you have to think of other ways, this guy thinks about it and thinks that only by concentrating troops and shrinking the defense line can we build a stable front that can confront the PLA, the specific method is:

First, build a defensive zone across the Wei and Jing rivers that can effectively defend Xi'an.

Second, it coordinated with the army of Erma, with central Shaanxi and Longdong as the focus of defense, to ensure the northwest and the southwest of the barrier, and as soon as the North China troops of the current PLA crossed the Yellow River westward, they immediately retreated to southern Shaanxi and northern Sichuan to avoid their edge, and then sought an opportunity to attack.

Hu Zongnan's great truth is one set of words, what does it mean to avoid its edge and then seek an opportunity to attack the enemy? To put it bluntly, he was afraid and did not dare to fight face-to-face with the PLA, so he came up with such a defense method, which is actually a plan to fight if he can fight and run away if he can't.

Ever since he learned that two corps of the North China Field Army were going to fight in Shaanxi, the confidence of this Northwest King of the Kuomintang, a first-term student of Whampoa, and a good student of Chairman Chiang and his fellow villagers had been completely lost.

Hu Zongnan originally believed that it would take some time for the PLA to attack Xi'an, and that the communist army in North China would have to rest for a while after the Taiyuan Battle to digest the fruits of victory and eat the wounds on his body, and it would be very difficult to enter Shaanxi quickly.

The People's Liberation Army does not have modern means of transport, there are very few cars, and the long-distance march is completely on two feet, and it cannot reach the northwest in two or three months, and even if it reaches the northwest, it must attack from the periphery one by one, so that at least it can consume the PLA for another month, so it should have three months of preparation, and three months is not too short, and it can do a lot of things that the opponent does not like.

But what Hu Zongnan didn't expect was that his intelligence system showed that not long after the Battle of Taiyuan, the communist army in North China was about to move to the northwest.

This kind of intelligence made Hu Zongnan very difficult: Doesn't the communist army need to rest after fighting Taiyuan? Are they also human beings and not gods, and they are not tired from fighting for more than three months in a row? (The North China Field Army liberated the entire territory of Taiyuan and Shanxi in more than three months, and most of the time was spent attacking fortified positions, and the troops were indeed very tired, and the casualties were not small, and Hu Zongnan's judgment on one point was very accurate)

The People's Liberation Army troops that are about to enter Shaanxi put Hu Zongnan in a dilemma, what to do? Do you want to defend Xi'an or give up? How to keep?

At this time, Xi'an had already ordered the major organs to evacuate to Hanzhong in advance, and the Kuomintang's Shaanxi Provincial Government, the Xi'an Branch of the Central Bank, and other large enterprises and institutions began to flee, followed by a wild increase in prices, the black market of gold, silver, and the US dollar had been made public, and the fiat currency and gold dollar rolls of the Kuomintang government were as unattractive as butt paper, and the streets were full of people who resold gold and the ocean.

In addition to expanding all kinds of taxes, he also forced the rich businessmen and big families in Xi'an to donate gold, and stipulated the amount, according to the amount of property, how many gold bars must be donated, saying that it was for reserves, and a new currency that would not depreciate, but this could no longer deceive people, everyone knew that this was Hu Zongnan's desire to make a big profit when he left, what was used as a currency reserve? Fuck ***, bullshit. f
