The strange situation of Hu Zongnan and Ma Jiajun made the party committee of the field army see the opportunity to gather and annihilate the enemy, and made up its mind to encircle and suppress Hu Zongnan's central army first. (The first text is published in the reading room biquge.info)
When Mr. Peng made this decision at the meeting of senior cadres of the field army, the entire venue was lively, and these senior commanders who came to the meeting understood that the intention of the field army was obvious, that is, to take action against Hu Zongnan's central army first.
Mr. Peng pressed his hand a few times to calm everyone down: "But, comrades, we can't underestimate the enemy, the total strength of the enemy adds up to more than 300,000 people, not much less than us, even if it is not easy to deal with Hu Zongnan's Central Army alone, the enemy is not a paper lake, if we want to defeat the enemy, we have to endure great hardships and make great efforts, Hu Zongnan's five armies are gathered together like hedgehogs, and it is very difficult for us to swallow them in one bite, so the battle plan of the first phase of the field army is to divide the enemy first, The first bite is to eat Hu Zongnan's three armies, and then see how the situation develops, and now I announce the field army order. ”
First, the 19th Corps of Yang Dezhi and Li Zhimin was used to contain the Qing and Ning Erma armies.
Second, with Wang Zhen's First Corps, Xu Guangda's Second Corps, and Zhou Shidi's Eighteenth Corps, all the main forces combined
Nine armies encircled and annihilated Hu Zongnan's central army in the Fufeng and Meixian areas.
After the meeting, Mr. Peng said to the commanders of the 19th Corps, Yang Dezhi and Li Zhimin: "The long-distance march, the cadres and soldiers are very hard, and the physical consumption is very great, you should have been allowed to rest for a period of time, and it is best to give a month of rest and recuperation, but now it is not possible, the horse is going to fight, not to mention the time to rest, and even the time to prepare is very little, although it is said that full preparation is the basis for victory in the battle, but the loss of the fighter plane, even if it is ready, it is useless, you must not have the idea of underestimating the enemy against the army of the second horse, It is necessary to strictly prevent the enemy from sneaking around the back to attack, which is the usual method of the Ma family army, which is dominated by cavalry, and this is also what I want to sue you. After speaking, Mr. Peng took out a telegram and handed it to Yang Dezhi and Li Zhimin.
This was sent on 26 June, and the telegram was as follows: The Yang Corps should immediately march westward, close to the second horse to build fortifications, undertake the task of containing the Qing and Ning second horses, and strictly prevent the two horses from counterattacking.
Yang Dezhi and Li Zhimin were very moved, ** how many things a day are waiting for him to decide, I didn't expect how to deal with cavalry in a battle have been mentioned, the two of them glanced at each other, and together assured Mr. Peng who was standing in front of him: "Please rest assured that the Party Committee of the Field Army, please rest assured, our 19th Corps will definitely complete the task." ”
In early July 49, as the 18th and 19th Corps of the North China People's Liberation Army (PLA) entered the northwest battlefield, the total strength of the First Field Army soared to more than 400,000 troops.
Veterans all know that there are three fears when a battle starts, one is afraid of not having food, the second is afraid of not having ammunition, and the third is afraid that they will not be able to carry it down after being wounded.
Henan is the place where wheat is produced, so most of the supplies that arrive first are flour, and the cooks of the old Northwest Field Army almost cried when they saw the flour of the train, good guys, so much white flour? How many steamed buns do you have to steam? With steamed buns and bullets, who are the troops of our PLA afraid of?
The soldiers of the Northwest Field Army, who had been hungry for several years, were greatly demoralized, and the soldiers muttered to each other in private: "See, this time we don't lack anything, ammunition and food, what do you want, concentrate on fighting, naivety is about to change." ”
When the Northwest Field Army was just formed, Mr. Peng said that our PLA is not afraid of a decisive battle with the enemy, but will fight a decisive battle at the time and place that we have prepared.
On 10 July, the Battle of Fufengmei County, which had been brewing for a period of time, began, and the 19th Corps led by Commander Yang Dezhi, who was the first to act.
The task of the Ninth Corps was to contain the armies of the Qing and Ning Erma, and to ensure that when the main force of the field army gathered and annihilated Hu Zongnan's Central Army, the Erma army would not dare to make a big move, or let them not dare to go to reinforcements.
You want to contain the enemy, but people are also people, and they have brains like us, and they are not fools, so Commander Yang Dezhi ordered the troops to build powerful field fortifications as close as possible to the army of the second horse, and with a small force to continuously attack and attack the army of the second horse, putting on a posture that the horse is about to have a decisive battle with the Ma army.
Commander Yang Dezhi believes that in order to contain the enemy, it is necessary to make the enemy feel the pressure of our army, but how can the enemy feel the pressure of our army? And we must not let the troops suffer too big losses, and this is the command art that a senior commander should have.
In the evening of the same day, Xu Guangda's Second Corps secretly detoured back to the flank of southern Hu Zongnan through the gap between Hu Zongnan's Central Army and the Second Horse Army.
Zhou Shidi's 18th Corps moved from the west along the Longhai Railway and the Xianyang-Fengxiang highway to penetrate into the enemy's depth, while Wang Zhen's 1st Corps launched a frontal assault on the enemy from the south bank of the Wei River and north of the Qinling Mountains.
The plan of the field army was already very clear by the time the campaign was carried out, that is, the second and eighteenth corps would make a detour from both sides, use the first corps to attack from the front, and then dig out Hu Zongnan's central army and eat it.
The key is the Second Corps led by Commander Xu Guangda, the Second Corps should be inserted from the junction of Hu Zongnan and Ma Jiajun, and then go around the buttocks of Hu Zongnan's several armies to launch an attack, so as to achieve the suddenness after the campaign is launched and shock the confidence of the enemy's garrison troops, but this is also a dangerous move.
If Hu Zongnan and the army of the Second Horse had enough confidence to truly unite, and after discovering the PLA's intentions, the Second Corps would probably not be able to complete its task and would fall into great danger itself, but Peng Lao finally calculated that the enemy did not have the determination to fight together, and would not pay much attention to the garrison of the joint area, so he used such a dangerous move, in fact, this is also a big move after understanding the mentality of the enemy's commander.
Hu Zongnan and Ma Bufang's joint defensive operation plan only stipulates the scope of their respective defenses, and there is no feasible joint operation plan, and five armies, 65, 119, 90, and 36 armies, divisions, and regiments overlap each other in the defense line of 100 miles. The communist army's usual tactics of digging out the heart will lose its effectiveness.
Hu Zongnan originally thought that although the communist army in North China had reached two corps, these two corps had just finished the Taiyuan Campaign, and the long-distance march on foot would take a month to restore their combat effectiveness, and the communist army that had restored its combat effectiveness should be the first to attack the army of Erma, because his central army had formed five armies into a regiment, and it was difficult for the communist army to eat it in one bite, so his central army was still relatively safe at this stage.
Things once again surprised Hu Zongnan, there have been many times like this, Hu Zongnan was confused by Mr. Peng every time he fought a battle, and he couldn't figure out the edge, if it was about the wisdom of war, Hu Zongnan was far from being Mr. Peng's opponent, and the Central Army of more than 300,000 all-American weapons was defeated by the People's Liberation Army of more than 20,000 millet plus rifles, and it is no wonder that Mr. Peng commented on Hu Zongnan's evaluation of 'Zhi Da Cai Shu, a straw bag'.
I think that when he was in Huangpu, Hu Zongnan was also a great figure, much more famous than his classmates Xu Xiangqian, Zuo Quan, Chen Geng, Zhang Zongxun and another also famous Red Army general Xu Jishen, unfortunately, Xu Jishen, who was the chief of staff of the Red Fourth Army at that time, was killed by Zhang Guotao in the Great Purge.
After the massacre, only two cadres of the four divisions and 12 regiments of the Red Fourth Army survived, and some cadres of regiments, battalions, and companies were replaced three or four times in the massacre, and the Red Fourth Army had a total of more than 15,000 people at that time, and the Red Army commanders and fighters who were purged were as high as more than 2,500, most of whom were Red Army commanders with great combat experience. From the county party committee, all the ordinary cadres were killed, all the cadres of the Huoqiu county party committee were killed, and 45 of the 48 cadres of the Shangnan county party committee were killed.
There are several criteria for Zhang Guotao's killing: first, the group of people who founded the Soviet base area and the Red Army, second, the old wars and old subordinates of the founder of the Soviet area, third, all those who are from bad backgrounds, who have come from the uprising, who have a bit of culture, and whose relationships are complicated, and fourth, those who have opposed Zhang Guotao.
After such a killing, Zhang Guotao must be the boss who no one can oppose when he studies in the Fourth Front Army, and those who have a little prestige and ability are basically killed, but the combat effectiveness of the Red Army has also declined, and the feelings of the common people are extremely disappointed, and the failure of the anti-encirclement and suppression in the future is also reasonable.
Looking back, on the evening of 11 July, one day after Commander Yang Dezhi led the 19th Corps to pin down the enemy's Second Horse Coalition Army, the main force of the Second Corps passed through the junction of Hu Zongnan and the Second Horse Coalition Army, and detoured back to the flank of the enemy's 3rd, 65th, and 119th armies, and the Second Corps was also inserted into the west of Changning Town, near the Wei River where Luoju Town moved.
