Chapter 75 The Policy of Annihilating Enemies in Central China of Shandong

(August 29, 1946) Chen, Zhang Li, Zhang Deng, Su Tan[1], and transferred to the party committees of each district, and the heads of each division and division: The Luzhong Ninth Division won the attack on Wenzu and Bucun[2], and the Luzhong Garrison Brigade won the attack on Weijiazhuang[3].Even a small victory in a battle is enough to increase the morale of the people and destroy the prestige of the enemy, so it should be rewarded.Encourage all regular armies, local armies, and militias to show their enthusiasm, win more battles, defeat each enemy and wipe out the enemy in large numbers.We must tell the entire Party and army in Shandong and central China that we must wipe out a large number of the regular armies of Wang Yaowu[4] (fourteen brigades), Xue Yue[5] (thirty-five brigades), and Tang Enbo[6] (fifteen brigades). , can solve the problem.Our army in Jiaoji and our armies in southern Shandong and northern Jiangsu should aim to annihilate one-third (that is, five brigades and twelve brigades) of Wang Yaowu's and Xue Yue's two units as the first step.Our army in the central Soviet Union has wiped out six and a half brigades of the enemy's regular army and 5,000 traffic police[8] in the past one and a half months (noon to Weigan[7]), which is close to half of the enemy. Eight out of ten to nine out of ten is the goal.The method of annihilating the enemy is to concentrate and vigorously fight against one part of the enemy. For example, in the Battle of Wuganyugou in northern Jiangsu[9], 12 regiments were concentrated (seven regiments were actually used) and 2 regiments of the 92nd Brigade were wiped out. The campaign [10] concentrated ten regiments to wipe out two regiments of the 99th Brigade is a good example.This style of play, from the perspective of the overall situation, saves effort and is more successful. Every battle is sure to win.The replenishment of the field army should be focused. The Jiaoji, northern Jiangsu, and central Jiangsu theaters should each be supplemented with 10 to 15 main field army regiments, each with 2,500 to 3,000 soldiers (the Kuomintang has a large regiment of more than 3,000 people). Give the best weapons and sufficient ammunition as an assault force, and don't adopt egalitarianism.Hope to plan everything based on the above-mentioned strategic policy.
