Chapter 396: Commander: Ding Wei, we fought very hard
The cleanup work in Tianjin lasted until the middle of the month, while Ding Wei's main column pressed southward along the railway, simultaneously continuing to blockade Beijing.
Mr. Fu still has more than 300,000 troops at his disposal, firmly defending this ancient city.
With his abilities, maybe there is a way to hold on.
"Chen Changjie is a good-for-nothing. He insists on believing in those bumpkins. How can such a large circle be defended with only a few hundred thousand soldiers?"
After learning from the mistakes in the defense of Tianjin, we should form a tiered position.
Along the core area, we set up circles of defense and continuously reduced our forces.
No matter how many artillery pieces the enemy has, they are unable to capture the important city.
The negotiations will be presided over by other people, so Ding Wei does not need to worry about it. Everyone is not in the same system, but is responsible for the same thing.
In the Northeast region, the siege of Shenyang is about to turn around.
The morale of the defenders in the city has been completely lost, and many of them have secretly contacted each other, intending to revolt and surrender.
The subordinate division commanders, regiment commanders, etc., secretly negotiated terms with the People's Liberation Army.
Just wait for the right opportunity and then revolt.
According to the current progress, in one month at the fastest and three months at the slowest, the hundreds of thousands of troops under Brother Biao's command will be able to enter the pass to fight.
As soon as the telephone was set up, Ding Wei, who had moved to Tianjin, received greetings from his old boss.
"Ding Wei, I'm Liu. Your troops have entered the border and entered North China. The battle went smoothly and important cities were liberated. I'm really happy for you."
"What are your plans next?"
Just by listening to the voice, you can tell that there is a lot of hardship hidden beneath the other person's calm tone.
The teacher's troops fought hard, and the Central Plains paid a great price for the entire war. Now the elite troops of the national army are fighting on the battlefield in the Central Plains, and it is very exciting.
What is the next plan? Leave four columns to besiege Peking in order to solve Mr. Fu’s problem.
The remaining four columns advanced southward along the Jinpu Railway, opened up the route between the Huaye and Zhongye, and joined the two field armies.
Ding Wei's intelligence personnel have been collecting intelligence in the Central Plains and understanding the situations of various armies and columns.
The Battle of East Henan has reached its later stages, and the entire battlefield has been revitalized by Tong Tiandai.
Whether it was to attack Wang Yaowu's isolated city directly or to march straight into northern Henan, it was not a difficult task for Ding Wei.
"Teacher, if you have any ideas, I can refer to them."
There was a silence on the other end of the phone. We had to consider the overall situation and our personal interests. We couldn't let our personal interests affect the overall situation.
In essence, Commander Liu hoped that Ding Wei would bring his troops to Central Plains.
Not only did they come from the same source in the early days, but now the midfield is struggling and needs a strong army to be injected. He can even give way and let Ding Wei command the battle.
"Don't get involved with the Tongpu Railway Line. I suggest you go south along the Pinghan Road and south from the Shanxi-Hebei-Shandong-Henan Military Region to join the battle."
"I understand. After the troops have rested, we will be the first to advance to northern Henan."
After hanging up the phone, Ding Wei frowned.
Think about the meaning behind the teacher's long speech.
Don't get involved with Tongpu Road, this sentence has a profound meaning.
"Da Biao, ask someone to find out what's going on in Jinan."
Later, Ding Wei learned the news and the headquarters personally named Xu Heshang to be the commander of the siege.
Then three more telegrams came, specifically asking Xu to participate in the siege.
Ding Wei is very powerful and has already established himself as a rival in the Northeast. Now he has also achieved considerable results in North China. He has almost single-handedly defeated Mr. Fu.
If we go to the Tongpu Railway again, it will cause a lot of unnecessary trouble.
"Da Biao, pass on my order. Have the 12th column take the lead in preparation and be ready to march south at any time."
"The 4th Independent Column is stationed in Jincheng, and the 5th and 6th Independent Columns are pressing into the Pingnan area."
"The 8th and 9th columns are moving closer to the Pinghan Railway, preparing to go to northern Henan."
"Let Sun Desheng's cavalry army push forward to Suiyuan and take all of Suiyuan for me."
剩余独立1纵、2纵、5纵、6纵围堵北平的守军，其余8纵、9纵、12纵、独立4纵向豫北行军。
The vanguard troops went ahead and mobilized trucks to transport the troops.
It involved the mobilization of hundreds of thousands of troops, and Ding Wei's words made the people below run around in panic.
Supplies for the army, material logistics necessities, as well as military shoes, bedding, waterproof rain gear, etc.
The good news is that a large amount of supplies in Tianjin were consumed, and the cannons, cars, tanks and flour and rice stored in the warehouses were seized from the Kuomintang army.
A large amount of illegal materials were seized, all of which came from high-ranking officials, military officers, and illegal businessmen of the national government.
The more chaotic the situation is, the more unscrupulous merchants will hoard goods.
Ding Wei is not a pushover. After the closure, those who need to be dealt with will be dealt with, and those who need to be shot will be shot.
Making money from national disasters and wars depends on whether you are lucky enough to enjoy it.
While the troops were marching, the attack and defense of Jinan began.
Turn a deaf ear to what is happening outside and focus on leading your troops to the south.
They occupied the Pinghan Railway line and transported troops to northern Henan by cars, trucks and trains.
The arrival of this group of well-equipped people in northern Henan had a great impact on the situation.
Four columns, more than 20 troops, including logistics and transportation personnel, are enough to form the combat power of two corps.
And Ding Wei indeed used it according to the concept of the Corps, combining the 8th and 9th columns, each with 5 divisions.
The independent 6th column and the 12th column are combined, making a total of 9 divisions.
The situation in the Central Plains region gradually became clear. The next combat plan was to launch a small Huaihai Campaign and open up the northern Jiangsu liberated area.
Liberate Haizhou and Lianghuai areas, deal with the miscellaneous troops in the area, and take care of Huang Baitao's corps.
At the same time, the requirement for the Central Plains Field Army was to capture Zhengcheng and Kaifeng, attract the main force of the National Army, and cooperate with the Huaye Army in combat.
Look, the teacher is really working hard in the fight, and he has become a foil in the whole battle.
But now that Ding is here, he has to help Nakano support his backbone.
Why bother cooperating? Wouldn't it be enough to just sweep away the Nationalist Army Corps? I want to fight two corps.
The main force of the National Army was concentrated between the Longhai Line and the Jinpu Line.
Several reorganized divisions were assigned to form five major corps, with a balanced attack and defense capabilities.
It is indeed a difficult opponent.
These five corps were the only elite troops in Niang Xipi's hands. As long as they were defeated, the rest would not be a problem.
Duan Peng's special forces followed Ding Wei's car in front and behind, and there were also several tanks pressing forward in an orderly manner.
Behind them was a large convoy, pressing forward continuously.
The last time Liao Xiazi's headquarters was destroyed, the special forces suffered some losses. Afterwards, they were selected from the troops first, and the quota has been maintained at 500 people.
There are 2000 reserve members participating in special operations training.
Duan Peng himself stayed by Ding Wei's side all the time to ensure his personal safety.
The march was very fast. The trucks moved forward almost non-stop, just burning fuel, which was much faster than running on foot.
The most important thing is its long lasting power (ahem).
The soldiers kept moving at a steady pace, took turns getting on the vehicle to rest, and quickly rushed to the northern Henan region.
Rainy weather is the most uncomfortable. Sitting in the car can shelter from the rain, but the rest of the soldiers can only rely on waterproof rain gear.
The road was so muddy that the truck had to slow down.
The lack of roads makes it difficult to carry out mechanized warfare.
