Go entering two of the conference many the middle of a month in Chen Yi in the center of, what Su Yu enters to crossing Jiang Yue is terrible made a series of new analysises judge, 1948 south the line fights key from " cross river leap forward " complete change is " annihilate enemy brunt at the Yangtse River with north " .
Direct group photo of total the front committee
In December 1947 the first ten days of a month, chen Yi goes to channel of Yang Jia of county of fat of North Shaanxi rice to attend in the center of in December the conference. After arriving at North Shaanxi on January 7, 1948, mao Zedong and he closes to genu talks greatly for many times, made the estimation with actual suit to the triumphal foreground of people war of liberation. After this, chen Yi arrives Central Plains, communicate the demonstrative spirit of the Central Committee of Communist Party of China, Mao Zedong all the way. Go up in field of naval battle of Central Plains, the Huaihe River subsequently, he waits one case with Liu Baicheng, Deng Xiaoping, devise clever strategies, directed sea of Central Plains, the Huaihe River, cross the battle such as the river, the complete victory that is capturing war of liberation laid cornerstone.
Arms of Su Yu talking, chen Yi support encourages Su Yu, to in the center of " make bold is shown continuously "
Small live poplar channel is long in January, judge judge consider of or so cost.
Bend Gong Panma reason to be not sent, the predestined relationship captures a thief to want to capture king.
If northland break withered situation is mad, central Plains chases the deer-fight for the throne to should go more.
5 years the victory can be predicted today, cross man of millet of dispatch of the Yangtse River firmly.
This is Chen Yi muster a when after to county of fat of North Shaanxi rice place where troops are stationed of Central Committee of Communist Party of China reports Home Yang channel to work and attend a the Central Working Conference, on January 27, 1948 around writes " lose a title " poem. Chen Yi lived beside Mao Zedong a many month, participate in discussed what the whole nation wins to capture a series of great and decision-making, confidence is full of, excited and return. Complete poem reflected the fight condition at that time. Its last " cross Su Lang of dispatch of the Yangtse River firmly " , it is to show Mao Zedong is right south the tentative idea of line war situation, su Yu imitating a style led one large unit of Hua Ye in May 1948 (one, 4, 6 column) sent in advance crosses river be related.
When Chen Yi leaves Home Yang channel, mao Zedong writes down a hand to make give in one's own handwriting him: Appoint Chen Yi to hold political committee member concurrently for commander of southeast field army, su Yu holds deputy politics committee member concurrently for deputy commander of southeast field army, hold southeast field army concurrently at the same time committee member of commander of the first army, politics, xie Fei is southeast field army deputy commander of the first army holds deputy politics committee member concurrently. Su Yu is secretary of substation of southeast of Central Committee of Communist Party of China, jin Ming is a vice secretary. Such, the strategic principle that crosses river leap forward and type of plan solicit comments decided.
Making what Chen Yi did not think of is, in Hua Ye session of one army senior officer, su Yu wants what already decided in the center of the change to cross Jiang Yue to present the strategy. Chen Yi understands Su Yu's think of a way hard temporarily: So theory clarifies, those who carry out a basis decorate careful major strategy decision-making, chair personally by the Central Committee of Communist Party of China and chairman of central the Central Military Commission, the strategy that discusses to agree repeatedly with us acts, why do you want a change? ! Go entering two of the conference many the middle of a month in Chen Yi in the center of, what Su Yu enters to crossing Jiang Yue is terrible made a series of new analysises judge, 1948 south the line fights key from " cross river leap forward " complete change is " annihilate enemy brunt at the Yangtse River with north " . Su Yu says to Chen Yi: "Now we of one corps one, 4, 3 6 column, equipment firepower did not compare first class brunt of Jiang Jun to differ. Will go up in main battlefield henceforth, no more than is two kinds fight form: One kind is with group of enemy a large number of forces campaign fights, surround entire division suddenly to rectify army the enemy. Jiang army brunt learned to use bourg to make defense position quickly in field operations now, one day and night can build division of a reorganize 3000 two bunder, make our athletic battle turns into battle of assault fortified positions. This has powerful firepower ability to attack annihilate with respect to need. Another kind is to a large number of forces defended urban assault fortified positions fights, need the unit that powerful firepower is deployed more of course. Need the unit that powerful firepower is deployed more of course..
Su Yu says then: "But this kind of troops fights, big to warlike contribution, use up big also. Although ammo, soldiers, commissariat can be taken partly mix at enemy enemy area, but still should take for the most part at the liberated area rear. Exterior line of 3 main forces hit out last year (outside the Deng Dajun that divide Liu) , still be actually half rear fight. We still must rely on Jin Jilu to pleased of Bao Yibo assist, the help of Shandong. " Su Yu continues to say: "However one, 4, 6 column once 80 thousand much person issued Changjiang Delta, it is to not have completely rear fight. Leap forward of Liu, Deng fastens hill greatly, because monsoon water is big,dropped heavy weapons. We go Changjiang Delta, heavy weapons also must be dropped, also complement without rear ammo to Changjiang Delta, hit war of annihilation impossibly the first year again, so unlikely ammunition of many capture enemy. A firepower provides very powerful large unit, fall suddenly to have small arms only and the guerrilla warfare formation with deficient ammo, this is not to use its to grow to abandon its to grow however! This is not to use its to grow to abandon its to grow however!!
Su Yu says earnestly: "And Central Plains became little the brunt assault force with 3 powerful firepower, its loss is estimated hard! " Chen Yi refutes say: "But one, 4, 6 column insert Changjiang Delta continuously, aux will be able to brings Jiang Jun into play 229 brigade ah! Aux will be able to brings Jiang Jun into play 229 brigade ah!!
"This I had calculated. " Su Yu is calm ground say, "Central Plains battlefield difficult, because have Jiang Jun,be 5 army, the ace main force that makes 11 division, have 7 army, 48 army laurel is brunt, jiashangping makes aperient profit formerly, reinforce is fast, we issue Changjiang Delta, if can bring these 4 into play army medium just a little, that is good of course, however in fact impossible. However in fact impossible..
"Cannot? Why? Why??
"5 army, the advantage of 11 division is motorization reshipment equipment, movement is rapid, firepower is powerful. Such unit won't move area of Changjiang Delta a network of rivers to go. To Changjiang Delta their advantage will be lost entirely, jiang Jieshi won't be done so. Jiang Jieshi won't be done so..
"Where is Guangxi army? "Where is Guangxi army??
"Old Jiang Hao transfers them not easily Changjiang Delta, be won't easily ' let the tiger run away ' . And the brigade with poor fighting capacity, tone walks along 229, the difficulty of insoluble also Central Plains. The difficulty of insoluble also Central Plains..
Chen Yi feels the complexity of the problem and austere sex. Su Yu is right in the center of " change Changjiang Delta is Central Plains, change Central Plains is China north, the victory came " intent present one's views vehemently, think if my army cannot hit a few war of annihilation first in Central Plains, eliminate enemy main force in great quantities, hastily leap forward Changjiang Delta, criterion Changjiang Delta fights in sex of half guerrilla warfare in, may not can turn half rear large troop formation into quickly the Central Plains that fight, and Central Plains enemy can reinforce of key defence, motor-driven, below the case that weakens in Changjiang Delta of divide forces of brunt of my river north, central Plains also becomes consolidated China north quickly unlikely. Leap forward fastens hill and Central Plains greatly, it is to avoid really the short raise of my army the length of my army. And leap forward Changjiang Delta, to one corps for the force with very powerful ability of such enemy of a very skilled to weighing equipment to apply, surround and annihilate, discard however instead its director. Wedge of 80 thousand much person hinterland of enemy Changjiang Delta, the edge hits an edge to go, can give the enemy certain awe, throw into confusion its are whole deploy, mobilize on Central Plains battlefield a few minitary force. And we, be in without rear below the circumstance that fight, certainly will is intercepted by the enemy chase, changjiang Delta of fight in some places one by one counts a province, the loss won't be little at 50 thousand person. Su Yu become enamoured ground says: "Use the price of the reduction in personnel of casualties of 50 thousand person that should give to Changjiang Delta guerrilla warfare on Central Plains battlefield, be sure completely to annihilate the enemy three reorganize division 100 thousand military strength. The war situation of whole nation of Central Plains down to changes possibly! The war situation of whole nation of Central Plains down to changes possibly!!
Chen Yi was persuaded, admire a Su Yu gain and loss of individual of this kind of buy at disregarding, bold free-spoken courage. However he also knows, mao Zedong can not be the person that abandons his advocating easily, it is the strategic view of overall situation of victory of relation whole nation what is more,the rather that more. Go emphasizing the difficulty after Changjiang Delta to Mao Zedong, won't be regarded as craven? But, su Yu's consideration is to accord with actual, the proposal is very important. Should support him, encourage him!
On April 18, su Yu with individual name to " in labour appoint turn the Central Military Commission central " give out cable, cable shows Jing Chenyi to wait above all " encourage courage " just " make bold is shown continuously " . Text grows nearly 3000 words, outside removing those opinions that state to Chen Yi, more increased to arrive to river of the Huaihe River between the Yangtse River expedite several strong guerrilla warfare large unit, to Changjiang Delta Fujian of another name for Jiangxi Province of Su Zhe Anhui and Hunan Guizhou expedite the far breed guerrilla of multichannel adamancy to wait for an opinion. In the meantime, still explain " we prepare to still undertake actively to Na Du, loosen anything but " . After Mao Zedong gets Su Yu's cable, draft text to ask Chen Yi, Su Yu personally " to discuss action issue " arrive in the center of will attend a meeting. Mao Zedong leader central listened after Su Yu's opinion, decision: Hua Ye should continue to rely on Central Plains, Hua Dong two liberated areas, jointly with in wild fight; After agreeing with one corps to end in train and consolidate, 4 arrive inside 8 months, of short duration does not go Changjiang Delta makes strategic for emergency use, join Central Plains to fight first, so that concentrate power, annihilation enemy, smash the enemy is in the defense system of Central Plains.
Chen Yi acts according to life Central Plains " pass a call to arms "
Since the thing that crosses river leap forward is in 4 to nonperformance of the of short duration inside 8 months, "Commander of southeast field army holds political committee member concurrently " Chen Yi, also extremely inside time of left and right sides of half an year can arrive. This need is made clear afresh. Mao Zedong looks for him to talk, tell him central research current the area under administration of two the largest strategy areas and person selected problem. This two large areas, be about to establish a government namely, become me the Hua Beihe of main base is mattered to south the Central Plains of China that liberate and chasing the deer-fight for the throne. Central Plains region is vast, from of old strategic position is very significant, one of battlefield that are decisive battle. Liu of Central Plains bureau, Deng feels leader force is not worth badly, again and again report asks central clique to should lead a cadre to be in charge of again, will increase. The great value of Central Plains considers in the center of, in already was being mixed actually considering Hua Ye brunt wild battle of the original work in cooperating closely to be in, so the decision moves extensive of Chen Yi, Deng Zi to field army of Central Plains bureau and Central Plains military region, Central Plains to work. Central decision: Except China in the liberated area shows administer condition outside, every Gansu sea with south, the Yangtse River with north, all belong to Central Plains liberated area till border area of plain short for Shaanxi Province. Bureau of Central Plains of Central Committee of Communist Party of China Deng Xiaoping of the first secretary, chen Yi of the 2nd secretary, extensive of Deng Zi of the 3rd secretary. End of Liu Baicheng, Deng Xiaoping, Chen Yi, Deng Zi extensive, Li Xiannian, Song Ren, Su Yu, Li Xuefeng, Chen Geng, Zhang Jichun, wither. Appoint about the post of military side: Liu Baicheng is Central Plains military region and commander of Central Plains field army, deng Xiaoping is politics appoint, chen Yi reachs Central Plains field army for Central Plains military region the first pair of commander, li Xiannian reachs Central Plains field army for Central Plains military region commander of second mate. Chen Yi still holds Hua Dongye concurrently battle army commander and political committee member.
Chen Yi by duty turns into the position of a deputy to the chief of an office, mao Zedong asks he has He Yi to see, humorous answer says Chen Yi: "Chairman, chen Yi wishs to cross the soldier of the river, have into have retreat, everything assigns in the center of allow! Everything assigns in the center of allow!!
On May 10, 1948, chen Yi and Deng Zi extensive group, leave in the center of Heibei of place where troops are stationed mounds smooth county, on May 12, chen Yi, Su Yu accompanies Zhu De to reach Henan Pu this world. On June 14 afternoon, attain seat of headquarters of Central Plains military region village of Zhang Zhuang of north of county of Yu Xibao abundant, liu Baicheng and Deng Xiaoping arrive personally outside the village receive. They did not meet nearly two years, long parted meet again, day and night is communicative. Will rise on June 17, mix to military region of Central Plains bureau, Central Plains with respect to You Chenyi Zhongyezhi belongs to team cadre to communicate in the center of with Mao Zedong a series of directives since December 1947 are mixed policy policy. The place is village of boreal Zhang Zhuang.
Chen Yi communicated Mao Zedong above all from politics, military affairs, economy, consolidate the party organization and land reform 5 fields place makes enemy I am comparative, affirmative China revolution can get the whole nation wins certainly. Ground of his become enamoured says: "The comrade that is here today, have Party member of 20 years, had joined the great revolution, civil war, 3 day founding member that fights day; Party standing is short also have 10 old, male length mustache, gave birth to the child femaly, can say, it is old revolution. Everybody thinks, the Communist Party never has estimated triumphal problem so. No matter which, also do not have the cadre to the party, to affirmation of the people of the whole country, we will gain countrywide victory. " Chen Yi says: Red Army period, 7 big during, when the War of Resistance Against Japan wins, my party talks about countrywide victory impossibly. Only now, "Triumphal condition was established, without a bit adventure, idle dream, not be night has a fever the dream arrives into Nanjing " . Of Chen Yi communicate pair of everybody to invigorate the biggest, it is the Party Central Committee the enormous contribution of former field army in mixing triumphal judgement directly is contacted cheek by jowl. Chen Yi says: "Chairman Mao tells to me personally: ' if I fasten hill greatly,each corps does not have stop, you two big field armies are in comfort on the west, Yu Wansu does not have stop, we dare not attend a meeting, I also dare not speak, dare not write this article, dare not say great turning point, dare not tell Jiang Jieshi to be able to Ko. This article is about to wait for in about a year to be written again. Stopped because of the army of Central Plains foot, the victory is reliable, we just attend a meeting now analysis, estimation, write an article boldly, to appeal of the people of the whole country, preparation gains a victory inside a few years. ' "
The conference left 3 days. Chen Yi uses 3 to communicate spirit of the directive central a long time continuously, among besides have a meal, nonstop also, the day is so black that the day lost sight of still telling. His report is rich, deep, vivid, full-court atmosphere is dynamic, everybody is without tiredness. He communicates the most wonderful part, it is him to thought of Mao Zedong strategy elaborate, from lure enemy annihilate of thorough planted agent enemy, tell exterior line to hit out bring the war to Jiang abbacy. He the war of field army of button Central Plains is carried out and be in closely the great effect in war of liberation, relay Mao Zedong's word already, summed oneself play again.
Chen Yi read aloud what Mao Zedong gives Liu Baicheng and Deng Xiaoping at that time to fight afresh directive: "Counter-revolutionary strategic principle of Jiang Jieshi is to want to impose the burden of countrywide war to liberated area body, reach the counter-revolutionary plan that destroys a liberated area thoroughly. Our strategy is the strategic principle that should destroy Jiang Jieshi as far as possible, bring the war to Jiang abbacy, make Jiang Jieshi bears all-out war responsibility, achieve the victory of war of liberation. " Chen Yi says: "Bring the war to He Fang, basically be have a meal problem, namely economic problem, this is strategic question. If take no account of a war to use up, take no account of millions of people have a meal clad, not be strategist -- at all times and in all over the world has told this without the person, chairman Mao spoke. Chairman Mao spoke..
Chen Yi still communicated what what Mao Zedong says to understanding puts the great victory ability that the 2nd year the strategy attacks the war to dare tell capturing whole nation to win, this is leap forward of pair of a thousand li of Liu Deng main forces the high assessment that the great place that fasten hill makes. Chen Yi says: The how builds a liberated area in new developed area comprehensive experience that leap forward fastens hill to obtain greatly till Central Plains bureau " 66 directives " , to next the strategy acts and the victory that fight and builds is striven for in countrywide each district, it is husk.
Before the strategic great plan of such stand high and see far, the loss that the 3 parts field army that exterior line hits out suffers has " make big profits with a small capital " feeling. "What we lose is a few cannon, those who get is whole China however. " some cadres say humorously.
Unrestrained, rational has Chen Yi according to, mix triumphal foreground feasibly authoritatively the Party Central Committee a series of policy are politic " contribution " come out, finished thoroughly " pass a call to arms " the task.
Liu, old, Deng Xie is the same as direct, hold captive Kuomintang army Kang Ze of lieutenant general commander
Chen Yi arrives Central Plains, be coordinated with respect to what added the line austral war of liberation and commanding centre, with Liu, Deng together, hua Ye of the organization below the unified command of centrally the Central Military Commission, medium wild two big field armies fight in coordination. This also is the main reason place that the Central Committee of Communist Party of China, Mao Zedong brings Chen Yi into play.
Big war of annihilation is being hit in Central Plains is special not easy. Kuomintang army besides security personnel army, there is a regular army in Central Plains battlefield 25 reorganize division in all 57 brigade. Among them 13 reorganize division plan 30 brigade hold the position of fielding of line of serious main points; Division of additionally 12 reorganize plan 27 brigade and 4 fast column, make up 4 fast corps, can motor-driven fights. my army is atttacked a bit or when an army, kuomintang army can use power by these 4 machine, use smooth Chinese, riverside of Gansu sea, ferry 3 old railway and broad Campagna of a lot of highway, multichannel reinforces quickly, with my decisive battle. Hua Ye has 6 brunt column only plan 18 troops fight in Central Plains, jiashangzhong is wild eleventh column and special type column, total minitary force is less than the enemy's 1/3. If use Hua Ye's force to hit Kuomintang army a corps, the very preponderance minitary force that must use 45 column holds the position of attack ability to annihilate. Such, the army of arms of nick enemy aid remnant 3 two column, be anyhow insufficient. Must Hua Ye, medium wild army arouses entirely rise, use at attack, hold off enemy reinforcements to reach entirely diversionary, ability outhit a big war of annihilation. Mao Zedong ever drafted cable to send Su Yu, Zhang Zhen and Liu Baicheng, Chen Yi, Deng Xiaoping in person, directive: "Below situation of whole Central Plains, the opportunity that makes athletic fight is very much. But should have patience, want many sided to bring the enemy into play, just can create an opportunity. " " hitting 5 army, when the ministry such as 75 division, do not attempt to be hit too much, and should prepare to hit 9 stay away from home only, annihilate individually this enemy, because this enemy is stronger. Because this enemy is stronger..
Chen Yi is met in cadre on, ever said racily allegorically: "Chairman Mao and Jiang interpose stone are in Central Plains ' play chess ' , the Yellow River is a bound. That is to say the condition before June 1947, jiang Jieshi can be a bound with the Yellow River only to the aggression of the liberated area, forbid him to cross Yellow River north to make. But should aggression of my army strategy begins, liu Deng Dajun overshoots the Yellow River, after leap forward fastens hill greatly, my army already crossed chessboard to go up ' the Yellow River ' in the enemy ' river ' here hit. My army already crossed chessboard to go up ' the Yellow River ' in the enemy ' river ' here hit..
Chen Yi compares Central Plains battlefield make a dish of step, have bit of philosophy interest quite, humorous and quite appropriate. Because the chess is vivid, move one stature, can affect a lot of child, walk along one play chess, play chess of a few paces next with respect to meeting influence, even the victory or defeat of overall. The comfort that undertakes between June-July 1948 east, assist (in relief) fence (city) battle, it is Central Plains " chess bureau " two mutual correlation and the subtle step that affects overall situation. Begin comfort to cooperate Hua Ye east battle, liu, old, Deng decides to stop assist to fence fight, wild brunt is diversionary in the organization south the enemy. Hua Ye captures after unsealing, continue to turn arms Sui county, a surname county with corps of Ou Shounian of surround and annihilate. Jiang Jieshi makes urgently the 7 corps rush to the rescue such as Qiu Qingquan, Huang Baitao, Hu Lian, hua Ye of intentional make a joint attack on, in comfort east decisive battle with " clean up Central Plains " . Su Yu looks forward to agog in wild can on nick north enemy. Liu, old, Deng considers to come here battle has decisive battle quality truly, dispatch namely 6 column cooperate annihilation division large unit. Go to front direct in person at will comprising ongoing command post on June 29, offer Wu Shaozhou large unit great kill and wound, force Zhang Zhen to move reorganize of introduced from the northern and western nationalities or from abroad Lian urgently the 18th army fold Xiang Xiping and Wu Shaozhou corps to draw close. Then, in wild will advance suddenly on July 5 again medium moustache, two corps cut apart, effectively arrearage the enemy. Till Su Yu incoming telegram report already annihilated Ou Shounian corps, army and already north moves, liu, old, before Deng Cai is led, point to return Bao Feng.
Right now, the 6th column is in wild brunt in south army of tung cypress military region and short for Shaanxi Province of dozenth brigade cooperate to fall, according to Liu, old, the deploy of Deng, annihilate at will multiplying Hua Ye on July 2 Ou Shounian corps, kuomintang army sink of corps of a few field operations pleaseds east during, razzia suddenly old bayou, then atttacks assist to fence. On July 16, battle victory ends, kuomintang of full wipe out army 20 thousand more than person, kang Ze of commander of lieutenant general of area of boss of spy of hold captive Kuomintang, the 15th pacificate.
Pleased Dong Hexiang fences two battle, be less than a month in all annihilate enemy 120 thousand more than person, the big city of strong set up defense unseals again by breach, become the key that Central Plains war situation transforms. The command center in a solidarity, battle unites two big field armies harmonious fall to cooperate to fight directly, its advantage and latent capacity are apparently visible. This brings into play to Chen Yi in the center of the specification again lift brilliantly.
Assist fencing great victory, chen Yi is very glad, compose a poem at once 3. The old ministry of the first acid Jiang Jieshi not with him " share hardship " , the advance rapidly of fighting capacity of liberation army of the 2nd depict, the helter-skelter photograph of Kang Ze of the 3rd depict. The first word after Kang Ze is captured asks: "Does expensive ministry have a doctor? My neck this won't be deformed! My neck this won't be deformed!!
With " deputy " very " " , chen Yi scrupulously and respectfully act
On July 25, 1948, central Plains bureau Deng Xiaoping of the first secretary sets out go to Heibei making the same score hill county Xi Baipo the detailed circumstance to bureau of Central Plains of the report central and experience, attend the Political Bureau of Central Committee of Communist Party of China in September the conference. The routine of Central Plains bureau is chaired for you by Chen Yi of the 2nd secretary.
The structure of an organization of Central Plains bureau is very large, the cadre is insufficient. 4700 cadres that extensive of Chen Yi, Deng Zi brings, investment arrives in fight of job of construction of political power of land reform motion, place, economy, war, go up to the Campagna that dry up with respect to small like stream, be absorbed very quickly invisibly. A few advanced institution of higher learning that Henan unseals at that time are like Henan university to wait, and unseal the ascensive teachers and students of partial middle and primary school, in succession liberated area of go to somewhere for shelter. Attain seat of Yu Xizhong former bureau have 300 much people, earnest requirement joins the army, study. Leader of Central Plains bureau studies a decision, establish two to groom the cadre's school: It is university of Central Plains stratocracy, hold concurrently by Liu President Bai Chengren politics appoint, foster legionary cadre; It is Central Plains university, you Chenyi allows to prepare appoint conference chairman. Term begins before long, each district comes the person of enter a school is increasing, recruit 2000 much people. Later, a lot of students of Central Plains university are followed army south below, be allocated and other places of Nanjing, Shanghai, Wuhan works, returned some to attend to march to work southwestly, footmark pervades largely therein country.
In martial job respect, chen Yi division of labor is in charge of the job of Central Plains military region. Central Plains military region is built before long, various orgnaization is diseased, personnel shortage, load hard safeguard place of Central Plains political power, development to arm, the task such as recruit of exterminate bandit, augment. Suppress bandits especially, fight situation is quite acerb. Kuomintang army brunt just was retreated, the liberation army arrives newly, bandit force terribly is rampant. 3 provinces have Anhui of comfort of another name for Hubei province similar case, henan blame very. Chen Yi is in " about Central Plains circumstance reached the comprehensive report of policy change problem to Chairman Mao Spring 1948 " in say: "My party footmark alls over complete China, of bandit local tyrant rampant the person that fear having even more Henan, can lift comfort the place such as county of county of Xi Linru, Lu Shan, Bao Feng, Yi Chuan, short for Shaanxi Province, the reputed founder of the Ix Dynasty is a delegate... mound in North Jiangsu than the period that fight day peaceful place encounters a bandit more serious. Suppress bandits for quiet place first link. " the commander of province military region that Chen Yi is veteran of the Communist Party of China, coping with reactionary bandit is a connoisseur especially. He catchs a thought to start above all. He emphasizes suppressing bandits in all sorts of circumstances is the first job that military region builds, emphasize to consolidating liberated area, enhance people power and the major action that plan big annihilation battlefield.
Chen Yi throws very large energy construction and the force of military region place that strengthen each district. E Yu, Anhui on the west, Yu Wansu, comfort on the west, each military region waited to undertake establish and be rectifyinged south Jiang Han, tung cypress, short for Shaanxi Province. Unit of military region place recruits 210 thousand much person. Cooperate to fall in the support of the field army, eliminate earthy dense inside 4 months 25 thousand more than person. Place of Central Plains military region arms the development of pair of Central Plains liberated areas and consolidate had very big effect.
Say in the comprehensive report that Chen Yi is writing Mao Zedong: "... now farmer already came back to buy draught animals in succession, active production; The intellectual begins to be close to us; Fugitive landlord also begins to come home. Henan Anhui north is taken, battle royal of warlord of all through the ages, day bogus devastate, ' water drought yellow soup (favour uncle) ' , the masses have no means to live. Masses report, come 20 years never so stable. " the eye that Chen Yi is reporting coda uses his militarist, generalized a judgement in the current political situation of hit the point of eve of great strategy decisive battle: "Central Plains situation, already had preliminary base area, moving toward in order to deal with large-scale the condition that fight. Moving toward in order to deal with large-scale the condition that fight..
Look for and catch opportunity for combat, cooperate Hua Ye to fight
On August 16, 1948, liu Baicheng, Chen Yi gets the cable that hair of the Central Military Commission comes to, say inside cable: "Hua Ye will attack aid attack enemy reinforcements in September is severe re-act battle, those who need you is strong cooperate... " Jinan is far in Shandong north, how can wild army give in " strong cooperate " ? Liu, old begin at once look for and catch opportunity for combat.
Opportunity for combat appeared. Defeat interpret, on-the-spot scout and material judgement according to cable, kuomintang army new established 12 large unit (with reorganize 11 division are a backbone, commander Huang Wei, hu Lian of assistant commanding officer, Wu Shaozhou) expedite 10 division, 85 division by truly this world of large quantities of secrete of classics of goods and materials of for military use go to hill convoy Tang He, assist the urban Nanyang with comfort isolated southwest. Nanyang defends enemy king reach the clouds to set out to accept fate to Tang He by Nanyang. Kuomintang army the 11 division of 12 corps prepare the intrude into between county of the square city to the liberated area, leaf with 3 division, come covering this is carried and receive carry to act. Liu, Chen Jue is started surely as if (Nanyang) truly (truly hill) battle, diversionary Kuomintang army China Jinan of mid team reinforce.
On September 16, liu Baicheng, Chen Yi, Li Da to Central Plains field army each column released directly under to start as if truly the command of battle. Same day, jinan campaign win initial success.
After Bai Chongxi analyses the information of each respect, give orders at once the operation that 12 corps suspend to carry goods and materials to Nanyang, contract 10 division, 85 division to be centered to the inn that be stationed in a horse, 11 division, 3 division stop to liberated area intrude into, in case the liberation army each checkmate. Jinan battle goes well, defend at 24 days of full wipe out below the circumstance that did not firing in direction of attack enemy reinforcements enemy 100 thousand more than person (embody uprise force 20 thousand more than person) , came true " open Jinan government office, fierce of boast of hold captive king " target. Chen Yi is very glad.
Still should be inside Jinan city when hassle, millet makes rich and Zhang Zhen gives out cable to bureau of the Central Military Commission central, Hua Dong, Central Plains bureau, the proposal undertakes the Huai-Hai Campaign. On September 25, after the traverse such as Liu Baicheng, Chen Yi, millet of telegram in reply makes rich and sign up for a the Central Military Commission: "We agree to undertake the Huai-Hai Campaign instantly " , put forward to be in of Lu Xina 4, the opinion such as battle of start of 79 column machine. They return active proposal: Pleased especially according to Central Plains the posture on the west, central Plains field army plans in order to disperse the method of annihilate enemy, in annihilate of river Chinese area enemy, diversionary the enemy west, come to those who cooperate Hua Ye fight.
Central the Central Military Commission is after the cable that receives Su Yu, Zhang Zhen and Liu Baicheng, Chen Yi to wait, mao Zedong drafts text in person, telegram in reply says: "We think to hold the Huai-Hai Campaign, terribly is necessary. " indicate: "You fight the first times, should fizzle out in order to annihilate (100 sheath or bow case) the target is between corps Yu Xinan, canal. " next the 2nd, the 3rd fights to annihilate respectively of two the Huaihe River and sea city enemy. Such is helpful for " undertake line of opening of Xuzhou, riverside go up next fight " .
On October 11, when the cable of central the Central Military Commission arrives, deng Xiaoping already returned Central Plains bureau from Xi Baipo of smooth hill county. Liu, old, Deng Li considers to implement plan to jussive of the Central Military Commission namely. Chen Yi has very much beforehand insight says: "Jiang Jieshi is to wanted to struggle desperately inside these a few months. At the beginning of August, jiang Jieshi has said: If a phase cannot be opened between the Yangtse River, Yellow River, be not break down cannot. Central Plains earth will have battle greatly want to hit! Central Plains earth will have battle greatly want to hit!!
Study cautiously through relapsing, tough decision throws powerful force to capture in Zhengzhou, in order to move Sun Yuanliang large unit on the west aid. Their deploy is: Liu Baicheng assume personal command pleaseds on the west, in direct wild 2, 6 column and place arm to distinguish in and other places of Jiang Han, tung cypress medicinal powder annihilation enemy, with diversionary attract the corps such as Huang Wei, Zhang Gan to be far from as far as possible east line battlefield, pretend brunt with team of south of short for Shaanxi Province, pleased in order to make the enemy thinks wild brunt still is in in Liu Baicheng rate by accident on the west; Chen Yi, Deng Xiaoping leads Zhongyeyi, 3, 4, 9 wait for 4 column, have comfort on the west, Yu Wansu army and 14 column cooperate China north, enter east point to Zhengzhou continuously, minatory Xuzhou enemy, ensure Hua Ye to fight. So powerful motor-driven force, broad of the strategy of area of nearly 1000 kilometers and battle cooperate actively, solid belong to infrequent.
Central the Central Military Commission is right Liu, old, this one deploy of Deng offers sufficient affirmation. In this one deploy and Hua Ye on the foundation of a series of deploy, the deploy of the Huai-Hai Campaign appears quickly to leap strategically. The cable October 22 points out central the Central Military Commission: Yellow dimension of white ministry high happiness, Zhang Gan two corps, by me in wild 2, 6, 10 column draw district of tung Bai Shan, be in quite long inside, enter yellow extensive area impossibly later, the action of Hua Ye of minatory the east, and be helpful for Chen Yi, Deng Xiaoping be in after attacking Zhengzhou to win, with ministry or one greater part or act eastwards entirely, cooperate with Hua Ye 3 vertical, two wide two column, not only diversionary Sun Yuanliang, Liu Shi is all, and but diversionary Qiu Qingquan, Li Mi. Capturing Zhengzhou, yu Qiu, plum two corps are many east aid during, hold port of Xuzhou, mussel to fight, port of old county of camera attack and seize, mussel, determined, complete, clean, all ground destroys ferry riverside way, make enemy traffic discontinuity, defect Liu stands erect (Xuzhou group) horse and foot at isolated position, form stage by stage " big the Huai-Hai Campaign " .
On October 31, when millet makes rich in Hua Dongye arrange of battle military headquarters ends, transmit a telegraphy central the Central Military Commission: "This battle scale is very large, ask old army commander, Deng Zheng appoint unified command. " central the Central Military Commission will send report Chen Yi, Deng Xiaoping, Su Yu on November 1, accuse Hua Dong bureau, Central Plains bureau: "Whole campaign suffers old, Deng direct. " such, of two big field armies fight in coordination the level that reachs unifinication.
Old, Deng brandish Shi Dongjin attacks the county that occupy constellation, block Xu mussel route " block the enemy's retreat and then destroy him "
Cut off Xu (city) mussel (port) specific responsibility falls old, on Deng shoulder. Central the Central Military Commission, Mao Zedong comes 11 days from November 9, emphasize occupational constellation in 6 cable continuously county, cut off Xu Bang.
Old county is the Kuomintang on ferry riverside line army main army service station, accumulation plays medical goods and materials in great quantities, have a large number of forces beefeater of firm city and armour train, panzer, do not compare Zhengzhou to be hit easily, kuomintang of along the line of together with railroad army reinforce very convenience, original Liu Baicheng, Su Yu did not offer reason " old county of attack and seize " as main goal.
Attack old county is so solid the city of fortify, need is discreet. Old, Deng holds meeting of each column commander immediately. Deng Xiaoping communicated the Central Military Commission central the directive of old to hitting county, emphasize particularly: The Huai-Hai Campaign matters to the process of Chinese revolution, must hammer and tongs, more determined, more bold, can win more!
Chen Yi was told on the meeting " block the enemy's retreat and then destroy him " , Yu Huaihe of annihilation enemy brunt the great sense with north. Say again: "You want block the enemy's retreat and then destroy him, he is met a cornered beast will do something desperate, want to prepare adequately so, this is a tough fight. You are departmental team, accuse the unit of the city especially, want a the most powerful force, the hardest dagger, draw front line, must take old county, extraordinary service establishs on the Huai-Hai Campaign! Extraordinary service establishs on the Huai-Hai Campaign!!
Fight section chief Zhang Shenghua introduced old county enemy's situation. Old county is the largest traffic key position between Xu Bang. After start shooting of the Huai-Hai Campaign, the sea route to the harbor that connect the cloud carries Xuzhou to be cut off, south ferry riverside line paragraph became Xuzhou enemy's only supply line and main leeway. Accordingly, the enemy takes seriously very those who retain ferry riverside way is expedite, established headquarters of patrol and guard a road or railway, hold commander concurrently by Zhou Weilong of director of bureau of traffic of Kuomintang the Ministry of Communication, lieutenant general Zhang Jiwu holds the post of assistant commanding officer, share 13 thousand person to be stationed, the weapon is excellent, fighting capacity is strong.
Finally, you Chenyi announces battle disposition. Each column is accept task hind acts quickly. Chen Yi knows very well, old town fence is high thick solid, moat already wide deep, return those who have Japanese build to always have defence works, armor car motor-driven patrols. Of main attack old county in wild 3 vertical heavy artillery and artillery shell are not very much. Still hold the position of Hua Ye's commander to hold the Chen Yi of political committee member and Hua Ye concurrently to contact, allocate and transfer 6 howitzer and 3 hill artillery piece, artillery shell of about a hundred hair, in assisting wild 3 vertical. 15 days of dusk, 3 even if all sorts of gunfire shoot at the same time, blot out the sky and cover up the earth, city wall of door of old county small north with a bang is collapsed by by the waist, on the west the door, north door also is broken through in succession, the liberation army enters a town 3 times, launch a street battle with the enemy. To 16 days of before dawn 3 when, captured final enemy base -- the headquarters of patrol and guard a road or railway that is located in good news hall, hold captive Kuomintang army Zhang Jiwu of lieutenant general assistant commanding officer. Capture after old county, old county north and south the railroad of 100 more than kilometer is defeated to destroy. "The door " shut eventually.
Mao Zedong is very tall to this battle evaluation, on November 23 " celebrate corps of your annihilation Huang Baitao the great victory of 10 division " say in text: "Before battle is initiated, we already reckonned to the first phase the likelihood destroys the enemy 18 division, but to cutting off Xu, mussel, make Xu enemy isolates completely this, we still dare not make this kind of estimation in those days. Of this kind of situation cause, subjective going up is because of our Hua Dong, Central Plains assemble of two big field armies razzias old county. Subjective going up is because of our Hua Dong, Central Plains assemble of two big field armies razzias old county..
Total the front committee holds water, liu, old, Deng " as the occasion requires deals with " " one of the two chief types of music in traditional Chinese operas "
On November 16, 1948, central the Central Military Commission decides current the Huai-Hai Campaign already was not only in expect and in become in fact south the line fights, "This battle wins, not only the Yangtse River is decided greatly with boreal situation, namely countrywide situation basically also can be solved " , so report makes: "By Xiaoping of Liu Baicheng, Chen Yi, Deng, Su Yu, Tanzhen Comrade Linwu forms a total the front committee... it is by Liu Baicheng, Chen Yi, Deng Xiaoping, as the occasion requires deals with everything. Comrade Xiaoping is secretary of total the front committee. Comrade Xiaoping is secretary of total the front committee..
Liu of members of standing committee, old, Deng " as the occasion requires deals with " the first important matter, it is independent analysis,
On November 22, the Huai-Hai Campaign undertakes, hua Ye full wipe out Huang Baitao corps, admire is worn " ' clang ' word the first " the Kuomintang of pectoral chapter army Huang Baitao of commander of lieutenant general of the 7th army, in command post by break up hind, taking a few accompany to escape in small Huang Zhuang's northeast moor, lacerate airdrop gives Jiang Jieshi him finally " stand fast need help " holograph letter, shooting suicide.
Huang Baitao corps by annihilate hind, mao Zedong calls Liu, old, Deng: Agree completely to hit Huang Wei first; When the condition is critical, everything by Liu, old, Deng as the occasion requires deals with, do not want ask for instructions. From rise right now, key of the Huai-Hai Campaign transfers southern battlefield. Liu, old, total energy meets Huang Weibing group in Deng Ji.
Yellow dimension corps has 4 army 11 division in all 120 thousand forces, uniform beauty instrument equips, half motorization, light is 18 army have more than 500 car. Arrive from army commanding officer platoon leader, university of the yellow Bu military school that is all of one suit almost, army or officer school are graduate, fight very tenacious.
To playing Huang Wei's difficulty, liu, old, Deng has enough estimation. Liu Baicheng says: "Tell morale or that adage, ' brave of come into unavoidable confrontation person get the better of ' ! But those who hit Jiang Jieshi is first-rate army, need to explain strategic tactics more. " Deng Xiaoping makes clear again and again " burn one's boats " , do not be afraid of " lose a family fortune " , even if in wild army makes light, also want to gain the victory of the Huai-Hai Campaign. Triumphal confidence of Chen Yi is more sturdy, the actual strength that he thinks of to he holds Hua Ye's commander concurrently this to have -- hit Huang Wei not only it is medium rude 130 thousand person lays 120 thousand person, still have Hua Ye unit, although Hua Ye brunt fizzles out in annihilation the casualties after 100 corps sheathing or bow case is bigger, but army expands ceaselessly, not only but attack enemy reinforcements of hold off enemy reinforcements, still can throw directly fight. In wanting only wild need, his VIP somebody, want prepare Chinese medicine by roasting it in a panbig gun to have big gun.
To Huang Wei fight, be in early actually the middle ten days of a month will begin in October. Liu Baicheng stays in comfort on the west, direct 2, 6 column, pulling edge of yellow dimension westerly to walk along an edge to hit. Until old, Deng Lvzhong is wild 4 column capture Zhengzhou, solution is unlocked, continue east when entering, jiang Jie Shicai knows to be duped, make urgently Huang Weidong is returned, leave to Xuzhou into, recapture old county, enhance actual strength of field of naval battle of the Huaihe River. Liu Baicheng commands 2, 6 column drive Huang Wei to thereinbefore, openly nick, destroy the bridge way on yellow dimension access, be in mound in relief, too and, enemy of layer upon layer nick of a gleam of of river of Guo He, Hui, annihilate enemy a brunt is round. Huang Wei sees so circumstance, feel a bit bad: Hua Ye, medium in the past wild it is to fight separately, draw close this assemble, consolidate the operation, have unified command, unified intention surely; In in the past wild to him 12 corps fight multi-purpose by-blow, end is attacked, this front nick, progressively and regressive, seem to a plot beforehand is being carried out. Huang Wei is a commander that has experience, he discovers here landform terribly is adverse, anhui north much wadi, arrive from Meng Cheng old county, have river of the name of a river in Anhui Province, solution river, Hui river, the obstacle is heavy, once leave Meng Cheng, guo He becomes a way of escape again, if the liberation army outflanks along the river, the hazardous condition of sink be in a dilemma. Then, he violated Jiang Jieshi's order, do not atttack advancement to old county, change its course is southeasterly arrive between town of mussel port, solid with Liu Ruming, Li Yan year corps assemble, again cooperative northing.
Liu, old, the unfavorable situation that Deng already saw clear Huang Wei, at me very advantageous, face ask for instructions of the report central, one side go ahead of the rest " as the occasion requires deals with " . Decorate the Huang Wei that lure annihilate actively, let him " get a bag " . Chen Yi drafts personally " AAA " (immediateness arrives) at top speed cable, the minitary force that asks Hua Ye to send 3 column namely lodges for the night at arriving when night south the county, solid is pressed down east, in order to strengthen minitary force, cut off Huang Wei to lodge for the night county and the outlet that solid presses down, cut off he and Liu Ruming, Li Yan year the connection of corps. In wild with powerful force by Hui river with south area to hit out on the west annihilate enemy. 24 days of before dawn, liu, old, wire back of Deng Jiesu abundant, army already was decorated reach the designated position. Liu, old, Deng Li commands Hui Henan north namely 7 my column launch attack to the enemy at the same time. Much at 6 o'clock 24 days afternoon bell, the whole army of yellow dimension army is compressed to be inside the area with the 15 wide unit of distance that are a center with double caboodle collect by me.
Battlefield also has comedy. Be in in the later period of Huang Wei of wild surround and annihilate, each column casualties is quite much, the enemy by " car city " when waiting for strong position stubbornly resist, after Hua Ye afterwards sends 7 column, send again the 3rd, the group of two artillery piece of thirteenth column and Lu Zhongna column and column of special type arms joins Huang Wei of surround and annihilate to fight, and the commander that heads a group is the Chen Shiju that is good at using artillery piece. Chen Yi sends he and Hua Ye Chen Ruiting of especially vertical commander two important directives: It is " in wild fasten hill to lose heavy weapons greatly for leap forward. Hit Huang Wei this, must Hua Ye main artillerist is pulled entirely, make sure the battle wins " . Want Chen Ruiting to go personally connection of Na Ping collect. Another directive is, will " Huang Weibing's round all equipment gives in wild " . Chen Shiju is wild in direct of the eastern side of ring of encirclement 6 vertical, Hua Ye 3 even if wait for brunt,join general attack. Trench mortar, howitzer is raided together, beat dead 3000 much enemies. Yellow dimension corps is dispersive break out of an encirclement is all with respect to annihilate hind, chen Shiju, Chen Ruiting receives Chen Yi to indicate again: Huang Wei's thing, hua Ye armed forces is same forbid to take, after column battle ends, Hua Ye returns immediately each build. Result, the commander of Hua Ye battleground that Chen Ruiting is in charge of this cleaning ground surely formerly is obliged " hold the bag " and time.
Unkennel of beast of prey, chen Yi indicates Hua Ye " car dry water catchs big fish "
During in Huang Weibing the group is surrounded, break out of an encirclement of the Qiu Qingquan corps that Jiang Jieshi decides to be stationed in Xuzhou, Li Mi corps, Sun Yuanliang corps. The direction of break out of an encirclement is southwest, purpose and the assemble of yellow dimension corps that are surrounded.
On December 1, chen Yi hears the news of break out of an encirclement of Xuzhou enemy turn out in full force, pat a palm to applaud. He says, if Xuzhou of 3 corps defend to the last, hua Ye assault fortified positions fights have to pay enormous price, prolonged. The enemy breaks away from his to always have defence works enters athletic state eventually now, this is the main chance of surround and annihilate. The first action of Chen Yi is in wanting, wild He Huaye wears a wired phone. Unkennel of beast of prey, should make do with all one's strength. Hua Ye commands 11 column throw parallel to pursue and attack immediately, outflank round, do not let enemy of two big Tuo draw close peace conference closes.
This is the best annihilate in the Huai-Hai Campaign enemy good chance and the most nervous hour. Chen Yi and Liu, Deng Lai arrives on the west of headquarters to face melt on the highway of collect, army of intercept of Hua Ye second line 2 vertical, entering with the disease of direction of speed Xiang Yongcheng that trots approximately. The beck of a few column controller that Chen Yi comes to to plan horse, they hastily discontinue. Chen Yi commands: "Desertion knapsack, half of army depletion of numbers also should hurry to the enemy in front, in always the city stems the enemy! " Chen Yi still calls driver Xiaotan to drive his jeep, car of the belt that connect a person sends 2 vertical chief together, let them arrive by the car go decorating everything before army, headquarters team ran is ongoing.
2 even if be driven before team of enemy greater part arrives to insert eventually,arrive always city, cooperate with military subzero army, have a headache in order to greet to the enemy's vanguard attack, force its to answer change.
On December 4, hua Ye bright group surrounds Du Yu of 11 column general in Xuzhou southwest more than lis 130 always area of city Chen Guanzhuang. In wild headquarters also by face melt market moves to assist Wang Cheng, the phone also was connected with Hua Ye wearing. Chen Yi takes microphone, the other side is Zhang Zhen. Zhang Zhen immediately agitato to Liu, old, Deng leading cadre says hello to, reported surrounded deploy. Chen Yi expresses to agree to deploy, say again: "Huang Wei is informed now prevent, Qiu, plum, Sun Na escapes aid, liu Ruming, Li Yan year intensify boreal aid, insecurity rises, kickback desperately, try in vain break out of an encirclement. ... Hua Ye should organize good military strength, nick plum is delayed year, Liu Ruming, forbid their northing. More want a Du Yu bright group is blocked, cannot let him escape absolutely or south below with Huang Wei assemble, that will affect the victory of overall situation of sea of the Huaihe River badly! That will affect the victory of overall situation of sea of the Huaihe River badly!!
Du Yu corps of Qing Quan of bright organization Qiu, Li Mi with tens of tank fight in the van eastwards Na Meng dash forward, of war situation intense before place did not see. But the enemy's assault all is beaten back, hua Ye 10 even if wait for unit position,be like iron. On December 6, sun Yuanliang corps to on the west break out of an encirclement, be annihilated by Hua Ye entirely in field operations. Sun Yuanliang escapes alone. Du Yu bright group is surrounded by firmly. Chen Yi indicates Hua Ye in the phone: "Slow and steady, progressively and contractible ring of encirclement, the car does water to catch big fish. " hind classics hassle, to January 10, 1949, hua Ye, medium wild wait for the liberation army the casualties cost with 133 thousand person, annihilation Kuomintang army 1 " suppress bandits " 56 22 commander-in-chief ministry, 5 corps ministry, military headquarters, division in all 555 thousand person, in liberating the Yangtse River downstream with area of boreal wide earth. So far, jiang Jieshi loses almost to use up in the picked division on battlefield of Hua Dong, Central Plains, also hold back next emancipatory the Yangtse River austral people liberation army feebly again with south vast area.
Came 8 days on January 6, 1949, chen Yi and Liu Baicheng make the same score hill county to Heibei of seat of Central Committee of Communist Party of China Xi Baipo village attends meeting of the Political Bureau central. 22 return south day. Since 29 days afternoon, with 3 days of time Xiang Huaye, medium the directive that wild senior officer relays spirit of conference of the Political Bureau central and Mao Zedong. During this, according to command of central the Central Military Commission, in wild adapt for the 2nd field army, next administer the 3rd, 4, 5 corps in all 9 army with column of arms of a special type, in all 280 thousand person. Hua Ye instead the 3rd field army, chen Yi still holds concurrently for the commander politics appoint, su Yu holds second mate concurrently for deputy commander politics appoint, tan Zhenlin is the first pair politics appoint, next administer the 7th, 8, 9, 10 corps, in all 15, army column of arms of a special type, 580 thousand person.
Because Suyu is engaged in actual combat of sea of the Huaihe River leading two many months with all one's strength, accumulate fatigue to cause disease, must be in hospital rests cure. Agree in the center of classics, chen Yi returns Hua Dong to manage the job. Sea of the Huaihe River is gotten the better of completely, central Plains is decided greatly. Next, 2 wild, 3 wild fight side-by-side in Hua Dong, brandish division 1 million cross great river.
