Chapter 80 Concentrate on the mountains and fields and Huaye to wipe out the enemies advancing eastward

(October 15, 1946) Chen Zhang Deng Zeng [1], and told Su Tan [2]: Delete Zidian [3] to learn.I am very relieved to be determined to fight in Huaibei.In Nanjing, Jiang [4] planned to lure me to Shandong. I will not go for a long time, but I am determined to fight me in Huaibei.This situation is to my advantage.I hope that you will concentrate all your efforts in the mountains and fields (never disperse them) to wipe out the enemies advancing eastward, and then the whole army will march westward to recapture the west[5], and wipe out seven to ten brigades of Xueyue[6] within two to three months. It will definitely change the situation, recover the two Huaihe Rivers, and prepare to dispatch to the Central Plains in the future.In order to carry out this sacred task, it is extremely necessary for Chen, Zhang, Deng, Zeng, Su, and Tan to unite and coordinate.Under the leadership of Chen, major policies are jointly decided (the six of you are often together, so as not to delay military opportunities by going back and forth to e-commerce), and the campaign commander is in charge of Jiaosu.In southern Shandong, Ye [7] Zong and various garrison brigades will monitor the enemy, and consider sending the Binhai garrison brigade there if necessary.As long as Huaibei is victorious, the enemies of Lunan will never dare to go deep into Linyi.In short, changing the situation mainly depends on your army and Liu Deng's [8] army, and the key is to annihilate Xue Yue's ten to fifteen brigades (you are in charge of annihilating seven to ten brigades, and Liu Deng is in charge of annihilating three to five brigades). Make no mistake, this project is achievable.
