Chapter 94 As long as Hu Zongnan's [1] army is defeated, the situation in northern Shaanxi can be changed

(March 27, 1947) He congratulated Li[2] and told Peng Xi[3]: The enemy in Yulin can only protect themselves, and has little ability to disturb. The He Bingyan [4] brigade can immediately relieve the task of crossing the river to cover, and the use of this brigade is up to you to decide.Whether the personnel directly under the central government go to Northwest Shanxi and transfer to Taihang will be decided when En comes to you.The central government led hundreds of people to stay in northern Shaanxi. The people and terrain here are good and very safe.At present the main enemy is Hu Zongnan, as long as this enemy is broken, the situation can be changed, and it is possible to break this enemy.According to Peng Dian, the 31st brigade has been wiped out (one regiment is missing), 4,000 people have been captured, and no one below the brigade commander has slipped through the net, and 200,000 ammunition has been handed over. The morale has been boosted, confidence has been improved, and new victories may be won, and the Hu army has been wiped out one by one. .In order to cooperate with the fight against Hu Zongnan, I, the Chen Xie[5] Group, began to attack the southern Shanxi triangle within a few days, which will take about a month.If Yan Xishan [6] came out to disturb Shilou and Zhongyang, then he could also go north to fight Yan.In about three to four months, my main force will not be able to go north to fight Fu Zuoyi[7], it all depends on you supporting the northern front with your existing troops.The details are covered by Enlai.
