Chapter 59 6. "Crazy Wang" issued a military order

In order to ensure sufficient troops to encircle and wipe out the 3rd Division, Liu Bocheng hurriedly transferred the main second column far away in southern Hebei to join the battle.In this way, with the addition of the 3rd, 6th, and 7th columns, which were the main force in the southwestern part of Shandong Province, Liu Bocheng now has 4 columns of available combat troops concentrated on the front line of Dingtao. In addition, there are 12 brigades in total for the local troops of the Hebei-Shandong-Henan Military Region. There are more than 50,000 people. At the combat meeting attended by cadres above the brigade level, Liu Bocheng told everyone vividly: "Originally, the ratio of our army to the enemy's forces is one to six, but we have to reverse this ratio in specific operations. Let us six A fight against one is called an inverted six to one."

His two hands flipped over, and then continued: "How can this relationship be reversed? Let's analyze these opponents first. Let's talk about Liu Zhi first. So the forward command post was set up in Kaocheng, and Chiang Kai-shek entrusted him with an important task. Of course, he wanted to live up to his mission; besides, Xue Yue, how could he be willing to play a supporting role for Liu Zhi? There is Liu Ruming, who has just been beaten for a while. Since he has learned from the past, he will not act first. Therefore, we have determined such a policy, that is, to block the inactive ones and only attack the active ones. Among the active ones, there are the most active ones. In the first part, we will concentrate on attacking him, the most active salient part. As long as we make a quick decision and knock out the snake head of the entire 3rd Division, Liu Zhi's rules will all be messed up."

Immediately afterwards, Deng Xiaoping's political commissar mobilized for battle. He glanced at everyone and said, "I heard that Lieutenant General Zhao Xitian spoke very loudly. He said that Liu Bocheng's troops were defeated. Occupy Hebei, Shandong and Henan, and drive us back to the Taihang Mountains. Do you think we will resolutely destroy the enemy? Or pack up our backpacks and go back to the Taihang Mountains to fight guerrillas?" As soon as Deng Xiaoping's words fell, a general burst into action.Everyone followed the reputation, and it turned out to be Wang Jinshan, the commander of the 6th column.Wang Jinshan was originally a member of the Red 4th Front Army. He became the commander of the Red 10th Division when he was 20 years old. He was the deputy head, head, and commander of the military division when he was fighting the Japanese devils in Taihang Mountains.When he was young, because he was desperate to fight, he earned the nickname "Crazy Wang".

I only heard Wang Jinshan say: "Zhao Xitian's solitary army went deep and looked aggressive, but in fact it was an isolated and prominent enemy. This battle should be fought. We will fight resolutely on the 6th. Chief No. 1, Chief No. 2, I, Wang Jinshan, stand today. Issue a military order, unless Zhao Xitian is eliminated, I will never come back to see you. If there is one brigade left, I will be the brigade commander! If there is one regiment left, I will be the commander! If there is one company left, I will be the company commander. The entire column will be wiped out. We are worthy of the party and the folks of the Taihang Mountains who nurtured us!"

"Well said!" Liu Bocheng shouted to Li Da: "Li Da, you write down what Wang Jinshan said! Just give them the task of reorganizing the 20th Brigade and 59th Regiment of the ace of the 3rd Division." Deng Xiaoping looked around the venue and asked loudly: "Is there anyone else who dares to issue a military order?" With this shout, the leaders of each column expressed their opinions one after another, resolutely calling for a fight.Liu Bocheng and Deng Xiaoping looked at each other.With this morale, this battle is 70% sure. On August 31, Liu Deng issued the "Basic Order for the Battle of Dingtao", determined to focus on eliminating the entire 3rd Division.With the main force of the 2nd vertical and the 6th vertical as the right group, commanded by Chen Zaidao; with the 3rd vertical and the 7th vertical as the left group, jointly commanded by Yang Yong, Chen Xilian, etc., surrounded the entire 3rd division on the preset battlefield in the Dingtao area and cut off its Contact with the 47th Division.The two small regiments of the 6th Zong are responsible for luring the enemy, and the entire 3rd Division must enter our ambush area eastward along the Hanji and Dingtao Avenues.

The "Order" sternly pointed out: "Strict battlefield discipline is a prerequisite for victory. Those who do not fight well and disobey orders should be severely sanctioned. No tolerance or appeasement will be tolerated, so as to hinder victory and damage the revolution. Those who have meritorious service should be rewarded and encouraged in a timely manner. The means of combat should be a combination of a high degree of bravery and sophisticated tactics, and all units should strive to coordinate their actions without delay and hesitation, and use troops one by one to achieve the goal of eliminating all or most of the three divisions within two days or at the latest three days. Department's purpose."
