Chapter 79 The Combat Policy of Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Troops After the Fall of Zhangjiakou

(October 12, 1946) Nie Liu Xiaoluo[1], Zhang Zongxun[2], and transferred to the heads of various columns and military regions: After Zhang Yuan fell[3], Fu Zuoyi[4]'s troops were extremely dispersed, which was beneficial for us to annihilate them one by one.But at present, I should still use one of them to restrain Fu's army near Zhangyuan. My main force is still in the east to wipe out the enemy according to the original plan, in order to completely defeat the enemy in the east.I have already dealt a very serious blow to the Sixteenth Army. If I can deal a fundamental blow to the Ninety-fourth Army in the past two days, then I only need to deal one or two blows to the Fifty-third Army and another blow to the Sixteenth Army. One or two blows can completely smash the enemy's attack in the east.Then our army can rest and reorganize to fight westward.It is entirely possible to break the enemy of East and West within a few months.At present, the enemy's attack in your area, both Fu Zuoyi and Li Zongren[5] have reached their peak, and their reserves have been exhausted. The gains and losses of our cities and places have nothing to do with the overall situation. The main task is to wipe out the enemy's vital forces.I hope that this guideline will boost morale, unite the whole party, and complete the sacred mission assigned to you by the central government.
