Rebirth: I am in Jin-Cha-Ji

Light equipment rapid march.

Fortunately, these three troops are all very powerful.

The 7th Brigade was the Chabei Detachment of the th Column, a unit that engaged in guerrilla warfare in Chabei for years. So, among other things, long-distance marches were their forte. Back then, if you couldn't run, how could you fight guerrilla warfare against the Japanese and puppet troops?

The 25th Brigade is a relatively junior unit, having previously served as the First Self-Defense Brigade. It was formed after Zhao Lu arrived at the Chahar-Suiyuan Military Region following the establishment of the Jin-Cha-Ji region. However, the 25th Brigade's first major engagement was the Jining Campaign last year. Under Song Yulin's leadership, the 25th Brigade nearly crushed Fu Zuoyi's forces.

Song Yulin is really a fierce general.

The First Self-Defense Brigade was brought to the main force of the Eighth Column.

The 27th Brigade is the third special agent brigade, a local force reorganized by Ding Sheng.

They had been fighting the Japanese and puppet troops in the Rehe area and had performed outstandingly in the battle that wiped out the 67th Army last year. The three troops marched miles.

Then he quickly joined the battle.

Five o'clock in the morning.

Zhuozi Mountain was captured so quickly by Zheng Weishan that Dong Qiwu hadn't even received a telegram from Zhuozi Mountain. As a result, Dong Qiwu was caught off guard and was suddenly attacked by three brigades. Because Dong Qiwu's headquarters was in the rear, they were caught in the first wave of the attack.

The first wave of troops from Song Yulin's 25th Brigade deployed in battle, using light mortars and 25mm cannons to bombard Dong Qiwu's troops. Unexpectedly, the th Brigade's first wave of mm cannon shells destroyed Dong Qiwu's headquarters.

Blow up the communications unit under Dong Qiwu's command.

Completely lost contact with the outside world.

Furthermore, because Zheng Weishan had captured Dong Qiwu's troops, the artillery positions they had set up on the periphery were immediately breached by Zheng Weishan. Fu Zuoyi's troops were not as well-equipped as those of the Central Bureau's direct line, especially those equipped with American weapons.

But still very good.

This was primarily due to the fact that many Japanese troops were annihilated during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, often in complete units. Consequently, a significant number of Japanese weapons, including howitzers, were captured. Furthermore, Chiang Kai-shek sought to win over Fu Zuoyi, hoping he would help him tackle the powerful Jin-Cha-Ji region.

So it’s different from history.

Chiang Kai-shek still gave Fu Zuoyi a lot of American equipment so that he could deal with the Jin-Cha-Ji region. He even equipped Fu Zuoyi with some American howitzers.

As a result, during this attack on Jining, Fu Zuoyi concentrated most of his artillery firepower and deployed more than 140 cannons on the periphery. It was because the First Brigade built a large number of defensive positions in Jining that they were able to hold out for so many days.

But what Dong Qiwu didn't expect was that his artillery unit was wiped out by Zheng Weishan.

So many cannons fell into Zheng Weishan's hands.

Dong Qiwu's New 31st, New 32nd, Temporary 11th, and Temporary 17th Divisions had lost contact with Dong Qiwu's headquarters. The sudden attack had left all four divisions in a state of panic. Unsure of what was happening, they were left to fight on their own.

Besides, these four divisions suffered a great blow last year.

Although the army had recovered somewhat after Fu Zuoyi's expansion, it had still been severely damaged. This sudden attack threw even many officers who had experienced the previous year's battles into a state of panic, and the situation of the other officers and soldiers who had been assigned to the army was even worse. The army's morale was instantly in disarray.

The troops below could not contact Dong Qiwu, so they immediately sent a telegram to Fu Zuoyi for help.

"Boss, something big has happened."

Fu Zuoyi put on his clothes and came to the command center.

Li Sijie walked up to Fu Zuoyi and said worriedly, "Boss, the New 31st Division, the New 32nd Division, and the Temporary 17th Division just sent telegrams asking for help. But we can't contact Commander Dong.

"Can't contact Dong Qiwu?"

"Yes."

Li Sijie was very flustered.

Dong Qiwu held a high position within Fu Zuoyi's clique, if not second in command, then third in command. He was Fu Zuoyi's most trusted general. This time, Dong Qiwu led four of Fu Zuoyi's most trusted divisions into battle.

But now I can’t contact Dong Qiwu.

Fu Zuoyi calmed himself down and then asked, "What about the signal detection situation?

"Boss, take a look. Suddenly, many powerful signals appeared around Jining. Not only around Jining, but also in the direction of Taolin, the signal suddenly became stronger. Judging from the signal strength, it is even stronger than the signal from our opposing troops."

Fu Zuoyi looked at the signal report and felt a pang in his heart.

Then he asked, "What about the area around Datong?"

"Some new signals have appeared, but the previously strong signals have weakened."

"Damn it."

Fu Zuoyi suddenly became very angry and his face became increasingly ugly.

"We were fooled, fooled. The Communists deliberately used false signals to confuse us, making us mistakenly believe that the main forces of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Communist Army were around Datong. But their main forces were hiding in the Guisui and Jining areas."

Fu Zuoyi was very anxious.

He now has no idea how the People's Liberation Army saw through his plan.

Fu Zuoyi was good at using the direction and strength of signals to judge the enemy's troop deployment. Fu Zuoyi really didn't understand how the Eighth Route Army could know all this.

Could it be that someone on my side leaked the information?

impossible.

Li Sijie said from the side: "Boss, what should we do now?

The situation in Jining is very bad. Although we don't know how many troops the Communist army has deployed, it is definitely not small. Moreover, the Communist army came prepared and attacked us from behind.

Fu Zuoyi couldn't think of many solutions at the moment.

Because Fu Zuoyi knew that he had fallen completely into the trap of the People's Liberation Army.

After looking at the map for a while, Fu Zuoyi said, "Continue to contact Dong Qiwu. Then send telegrams to each division, asking them to build a defense line on the spot to block the attack of the Communist troops. I will send them reinforcements soon."

"Yes."

Li Sijie accepted the order, but quickly said, "Boss, which troops do you want to mobilize for reinforcements?

"Temporary 10th Division, Newly Formed th Cavalry Division, Newly Formed th Cavalry Division."

"Then let's ignore the Communist troops here? If we are given some more time, maybe we can completely wipe out these Communist troops.

"That's too late."

Fu Zuoyi shook his head.

Fu Zuoyi wanted to annihilate the 6th and 26th Brigades, but although he had some success, progress was slow. Later, the 358th Brigade arrived, making it increasingly difficult for Fu Zuoyi to annihilate the 6th and 26th Brigades.

I didn't expect this to be a complete trap.

Fu Zuoyi was more concerned about the situation in Jining. The four divisions were Fu Zuoyi's most loyal troops. If these four divisions were lost, the combat effectiveness of Fu Zuoyi's army would drop by half.

Fu Zuoyi said directly: "Now it is not whether we can annihilate the Communist army on the opposite side, but whether we can rescue the troops in Jining. Immediately give orders to the Temporary 10th Division, the New Cavalry th Division and the New Cavalry th Division to quickly leave the battlefield.

"Yes."

Chapter 670 Fu Zuoyi's Adjustment

Tell Zhang Zihua to unify the command of the 6th, 26th, and 358th Brigades and launch an attack on Fu Zuoyi's troops."

"Commander, the 6th and 26th Brigades have suffered heavy casualties from recent surprise attacks by Fu Zuoyi's troops, and the troops are extremely tired. Is it appropriate to have them launch an attack now?" Zhao Lu, as Chief of Staff, was responsible for the entire army's logistics. Therefore, this time, Deputy Chief of Staff Tang Jie was Wei Hongjun's Chief of Staff.

Tang Jie had watched Wei Hongjun grow up. After the establishment of Jin-Cha-Ji, Tang Jie moved from the head of the Operations Department of the Eighth Route Army Headquarters to Jin-Cha-Ji to serve as the head of the teaching regiment, deputy chief of staff of the military region, and chief of staff of the military region.

At that time, Wei Hongjun had just begun to develop the Shengxian base and had just emerged in Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei.

But who could have imagined that Wang Qiuyun and Wei Hongjun, who were stranded in Sheng County at the time, would actually conquer Chahar step by step and build the Eighth Column of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Region. Now Wang Qiuyun is the commander of the Third Column of the Northeast Military Region, and Wei Hongjun is the commander and political commissar of the Third Field Army of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Region.

This time, he became the top military and political leader on the front line of the Datong Campaign.

Generals like Zhang Zhongxun and Guo Tianmin had to obey Wei Hongjun's orders. Although there had been errors in pre-war judgment, Wei Hongjun's command had not been seriously flawed so far.

The most important thing is that Fu Zuoyi was really deceived.

In fact, the idea of ​​using telegraph signals to deceive Fu Zuoyi was not fully understood or approved by everyone. However, due to Wei Hongjun's insistence, the deployment was still carried out. Now it seems that Fu Zuoyi was completely fooled.

The troops actually succeeded in raiding Fu Zuoyi's troops in Jining and surrounded Fu Zuoyi's four direct divisions.

Tang Jie still admires Wei Hongjun very much.

So it can be said that I have done my best.

"Everyone is tired now. The 6th and 26th Brigades have suffered heavy casualties, and Fu Zuoyi's troops will not have it easy either. After all, they advanced secretly all the way from Baotou and then quickly engaged in battle. They have not had a good rest these days. Now it depends on who can hold on. Whoever can hold on will win. When Fu Zuoyi hears that we have surrounded the troops in Jining, he will definitely withdraw troops from him to reinforce. When they change guard, it is a good opportunity for us to launch an attack. The 6th, 26th, and 358th Brigades must contain Fu Zuoyi's troops. We cannot let them return to reinforce. Reinforcement"

At this time, it is time to test your courage and willpower.

The failure of the Datong-Jining Campaign was, of course, due to various factors. However, one key factor was the indecision of the commanders on the front lines. In the end, Fu Zuoyi's troops surrounded the PLA troops inside Jining. Meanwhile, the PLA troops surrounded Fu Zuoyi's troops, who then surrounded the PLA troops on the periphery.

Circles and circles.

The situation was not much different from when Chen and Su annihilated Zhang Lingfu in Mengliang.

In both cases, the PLA surrounded the enemy, while in the larger circle, the enemy surrounded the PLA. However, Chen and Su completed the Black Tiger Heart-Ripping Strategy, annihilating Zhang Lingfu. However, Jining was completely defeated.

One of the big problems is the indecisiveness of front-line commanders.

On the one hand, they wanted to annihilate the enemy forces inside the circle, but on the other hand, they were worried about the enemy forces outside. So they hesitated and when they needed to resolutely eliminate the enemy forces inside the circle, they pulled troops to block the enemy forces outside.

At the same time, because the troops were tired, they were allowed to rest for a day.

In reality, the PLA troops were tired, and so were Fu Zuoyi's troops. The troops trapped inside suffered heavy casualties. Having not rested for so long, the troops were in a very dangerous situation.

As a result, because of a whole day of rest, a good opportunity to annihilate the enemy in the circle was lost in vain.

The final result was that the enemy forces inside the circle could not be eliminated, resulting in the enemy forces inside and outside joining forces. The entire Datong Jining Campaign failed.

Wei Hongjun absolutely cannot let this happen.

Since Fu Zuoyi's four divisions were surrounded by him, Wei Hongjun would never let him escape.

"it is good."

Tang Jie nodded.

Wei Hongjun continued, "Send a telegram to Zheng Weishan, telling him that the troops must take turns attacking and not allow the enemy time to rest. Send a telegram to Comrade Zhang Zhongxun, asking him to transfer the 1st Independent Brigade from the Datong front north to participate in the attack on Fu Zuoyi's troops. Send a telegram to Comrade Guo Tianmin, demanding that the Second Jin-Cha-Ji Field Army must have two brigades to participate in the attack in Datong. The enemy troops in Datong must not be allowed to leave the city."

What is Datong?

In Wei Hongjun's eyes, Fu Zuoyi was the number one enemy.

As long as we defeat him this time, all the problems in Datong can be solved.

"it is good."

Wei Hongjun's telegram quickly spread to all places.

Zhang Zhongxun looked at the telegram and sighed.

Ever since the Central Committee appointed Wei Hongjun as commander and political commissar of the Datong Campaign, Zhang Zhongxun had felt a sense of loss. But not as much as he felt now. Zhang Zhongxun had originally wanted to take Datong and prove himself.
