Chapter 5 Chapter 04 Desperate, the National Army Command formulated the "Jinan Battle Plan"

In early August, Wang Yaowu reported to the Nanjing Ministry of National Defense that the People's Liberation Army gathered around Jinan and the situation was tight.Chiang Kai-shek also felt that Jinan was isolated and helpless, and the garrison must be strengthened.In early and mid-August, the 57th Brigade of the 32nd Reorganized Division in Qingdao and the 19th Brigade of the 83rd Reorganized Division in Xuzhou were urgently airlifted to Jinan; From the 4th to the 10th, the Kuomintang Army Command formulated a "Jinan Battle Plan" after several meetings in accordance with Chiang Kai-shek's operational intentions of sticking to Jinan and organizing the battle.Approved by Chiang Kai-shek, it was ordered to be implemented on the 23rd. The "Jinan Battle Plan" includes two parts: "Battle Plan" and "Battle Guidance Essentials".

The "Battle Plan" proposes that the Central China and Xuzhou national armies should aim at destroying the Central China Liberation Army, and the troops in the appeasement areas should use the ground barriers to actively attack the northern Jiangsu, Dabie Mountains, Dahong Mountains, Jianghan District, and the Shaanxi-Hubei border areas. In addition to preventing the expansion of the PLA, the main force should be formed into an anti-suppression corps, which should be controlled at the three roads of Longhai, Ganhan, and Jinpu, and the main points along the Hanshui and Danjiang rivers, and be fully prepared for combat.Before the completion of combat preparations, the strategies of each corps were temporarily on the defensive, and the tactics were partial offensive, with one unit near its assembly area cooperating with the troops in the appeasement area to carry out "clearance and suppression".Once the combat preparations are completed and the strength is sufficient, a large-scale "encirclement and suppression" will be carried out, and the PLA will be divided into groups to annihilate the PLA, and then prepare to attack North China.During the preparation period, if the PLA takes the initiative to attack on a large scale, it should abandon unnecessary points and lines and stick to important strategic points and lines. The various offensive and suppression corps will quickly seek the main force of the PLA under unified command and defeat them.

There are several "combat guidance essentials".Article 6 stipulates: In the direction of Xuzhou, if the main force of the East China People's Liberation Army goes northward to the west of Shandong, the 2nd Corps will launch a fierce attack to prevent it from having a chance to make up for it. Or Lunan.For example, when the main force of the East China People's Liberation Army crossed Longhai Road to the south.With the 40th Division in the Xinxiang area of ​​Henan as the backbone, it cooperated with local forces to secretly attack Puyang, Fanxian and other areas, attacking and destroying the rear bases of the East China People's Liberation Army.

The "Jinan Battle Plan" made the following regulations on Wang Yaowu's adherence to the essentials of the Jinan battle: 1. Jinan's defense should minimize the defensive circle and the main points of defense; 2. Control a strong reserve team, adopt mobile defense, attack according to firepower and mobile forces to wipe out the invading enemy; 3. Pay attention to night defense and combat operations plus drills. The general intention of the "Jinan Battle Plan" is: the strategy is temporarily on the defensive, and the tactics are partial offensive. The Central China side will use the "clearance and suppression" operation to contain the main force of the Central Plains People's Liberation Army to cooperate with the Xuzhou side.On the Xuzhou side, more than 100,000 people from the Wang Yaowu Division of the 2nd Appeasement District defended Jinan and exhausted the main force of the East China Liberation Army; the 2nd Corps gathered in Shangqiu, the 7th Corps gathered in Xin'an Town, and the 13th Corps gathered in Su County, In the Guzhen area, we should step up the arrangement and replenishment.When Jinan was attacked, the three corps quickly went north for reinforcements, fought a decisive battle with the main force of the East China Liberation Army between Yanzhou and Jining, defeated the main force of the East China Liberation Army in one fell swoop, and rescued Jinan.

In order to strengthen the combat power in Xuzhou, the Kuomintang Army Command also decided to use Jinan and Qingdao as the main bases, Beiping and Xuzhou as auxiliary bases, concentrate 162 fighter jets for air support, and use 42 heavy bombers to attack the front, rear and transportation of the East China People's Liberation Army. line bombing. After the Battle of Eastern Henan and Yanzhou, the East China Field Army's outer-line corps had returned to Shandong to join forces with the inner-line corps.Wang Yaowu had a premonition that there must be a new strategic intention in the large-scale northward transfer of the East China People's Liberation Army, that is, to convene a meeting of staff to analyze the PLA's intentions.Staff believe that:

1. Apart from Jinan, Qingdao, and Linyi, Shandong Province is occupied by the People's Liberation Army.In terms of Ji, Qing, and Lin, Jinan is most likely to be attacked by the People's Liberation Army.In order to consolidate the rear, the People's Liberation Army will definitely concentrate its forces to capture Jinan, pull out this confidant stronghold, and connect East China and North China to control the transportation lines between Jinpu Road, Xuzhou to Tianjin, Jiaoji Road, Economic South, and Dezhou to Shijiazhuang, which will benefit East China. And mobile operations in North China.

2. The combat situation in Weixian and Yanzhou shows that the artillery and engineering forces of the PLA have been greatly enhanced, and they have certain technical and tackling capabilities. 3. The People's Liberation Army not only did not damage the Jiaoji Railway, Jinpu Railway, and roads in the newly occupied areas, but they were all in the process of being repaired and gradually extended to Jinan; most of the locomotives and carriages obtained in the battle were also repaired.This is obviously to create favorable transportation conditions for attacking Jinan. 4. The People's Liberation Army continued to release middle and lower-level officers captured in the Weixian and Yanzhou battles, and gave preferential treatment to the family members of the Kuomintang officers who were separated in the Weixian and Yanzhou battles, and paid travel expenses and sent cars back to Jinan.The family members of these officers who came back said that the PLA had strict discipline and that Qiu committed no crimes.Businessmen who came to Jinan from Weixian and other places also said everywhere that the PLA's discipline is good and they don't take a single needle from the common people.After the People's Liberation Army captured Weixian County, they sent people from house to house to give condolences and help the people relieve their difficulties, so that the people quickly settled down, the social order was restored, and the industry and commerce continued to operate as usual.These circumstances all show that the People's Liberation Army is actively carrying out the disintegration work of attacking the city first and attacking the heart first, so as to prepare the conditions for the liberation of Jinan.

Based on the above situation, Wang Yaowu and his staff judged that the next combat target of the East China Liberation Army "must be Jinan". At this time, the Kuomintang army guarding the Jinan area consisted of 1 army, 3 divisions, 10 brigades and 4 security brigades.That is, the reorganization of the 211th and 213th brigades of the 2nd Division of the 96th Army, the reorganization of the 155th and 161st Brigades of the 84th Division, independent brigades; the reorganization of the 15th and 77th Brigades of the 73rd Division; the reorganization of the 19th Brigade of the 83rd Division; The 57th Brigade of the 32nd Division; the 2nd Appeasement District Special Service Brigade; the 4th, 6th, and 8th Security Brigades of the Shandong Provincial Security Command, and the Youth Teaching Corps (equivalent to brigades).There is also 1 howitzer battalion, 1 field artillery battalion, 1 guard battalion of the depot, 1 engineer battalion, 1 communication battalion, 1 automobile battalion, 1 armored car company, and 2 armored vehicles, with a total of more than 100,000 people .

The Jinan defense system of the Kuomintang army consists of the peripheral defensive zone and the basic defensive zone.The outer defensive zone has a warning position and a main position. The main position is more than 10 kilometers deep and consists of more than 160 support points.The basic defensive zone consists of three fronts.The commercial port is the first-line position.The outer city is the second-line position, and the inner city is the core position. Wang Yaowu boasted that there were many solid troops in Jinan City, and he could defend the outer areas for half a month, and at least one month in the urban areas.When Jinan was attacked, three mobile corps from the area near Xuzhou went north to support them.Its military deployment is as follows:

With Luokou and Ma'anshan as the boundary, the Jinan area was divided into east and west defense areas, with the focus on the west and south of the airport.The east garrison area is from the line of Luokou of the Yellow River in the north of the city (not included) to Baliwa in the south of the city to Guodian, with Huangtai Mountain, Maoling Mountain, Yanchi Mountain, Qianfo Mountain, and Sili Mountain as the main positions. The 73rd Division 15th Brigade, The 77th Brigade, the 213th Brigade of the Reorganized 2nd Division, the Secret Service Brigade, and the 6th Bao Brigade were in charge of the defense. Cao Zhenduo unified command, and the headquarters was placed at the west end of the window back street in the city.The west garrison area runs from the north of the city along the line of Luokou of the Yellow River to Baliwa (not included) in the south of the city to Changqing in the west, with Lashan, Zhouguantun, Baimashan and Qinglongshan areas as the main positions.The 155th and 161st Brigades of the Reorganized 84th Division, the Independent Brigade of the 96th Army, the 211th Brigade of the 2nd Division, the Youth Teaching Corps, the Civilian Pioneer Corps, and the 8th Bao Brigade were responsible for the defense.Wu Huawen unified command, and the headquarters of the reorganized 96th Army and the reorganized 2nd Division were placed in the commercial port.

The security team is responsible for the defense of the outer strongholds, and the powerful troops are organized as a reserve team to adopt mobile defense. The 57th Brigade, the 19th Brigade, and the Reorganized 74th Division (under the jurisdiction of the 51st and 58th Brigades), which are preparing to be transported to Jinan by air, are the general reserves, under the unified command of Yan Zifeng, the commander of the Reorganized 2nd Division.The 57th Brigade was placed near Dangjiazhuang, and the 19th Brigade was placed in Beiyaoshan. The independent outlying stronghold Wangsherenzhuang was guarded by the Licheng County Self-Defense Regiment, Zhonggong was guarded by the 213th Brigade of the Reorganized 2nd Division, Gushan was guarded by troops from the 57th Brigade, and Qihe was guarded by the 4th Bao Brigade. Wang Yaowu sent a telegram asking the Nanjing Ministry of National Defense to airlift the reorganized 83rd Division stationed in northern Jiangsu to Jinan to increase defense, and asked for more ammunition (including tear gas and gas bombs) and food for 110,000 people for two months. Carrying out "spiritual mobilization", instilling "anti-communist" ideas, trying to "attack the heart against the heart", and stepped up the construction of a temporary airport under Qianfo Mountain for the use of Jinan Airport after it was occupied.They also forcibly organized and trained militias, and assisted them to defend Jinan with the "National Army", and so on. Wang Yaowu is not tall, and he is famous among his colleagues for his "five small" (eyes, nose, mouth, ears and stature).But he was well-dressed, with his head held high, and he walked around like a military parade, saluting the officers and soldiers with his right hand with white gloves.His lieutenant general's star emblem is shining in the sun, and his general's cloak is fluttering in the autumn wind... All these show a kind of determination to the new Kuomintang officers and soldiers, a kind of spirit to live and die with the city. The war room of the Kuomintang's second "appeasement zone" headquarters. This is a military meeting held in a situation where the clouds of war are low.The officers above the Kuomintang's garrison brigade and the commanders of the independent regiment and battalion were sitting upright, listening to Wang Yaowu's pre-war instructions: "To defend Great Jinan, I told you earlier that there must be a war." Today I can tell you that not only will there be a war, but it is imminent. The Ministry of National Defense of Nanjing called on August 27 to say: Bandits have an attempt to attack Jinan. Concerning the essentials of defense The instructions are as follows: 1. Jinan defense should narrow the defensive circle and focus on defense; 2. Control a strong reserve force, adopt mobile defense, and rely on firepower and the attack of mobile troops to wipe out the invading bandits; The telegram is the general purpose of the Jinan defenders. "Furthermore, President Jiang paid special attention to Jinan's defense. Not only did he show me several times, but he also had an elaborate arrangement in his mind; he repeatedly emphasized that as long as our Jinan defenders can withstand the attack of the Communist army, he will supervise the reinforcements." Go north, and join us in the Jinan defenders to attack the Communist army from north to south, and we will surely defeat the Communist army at that time. "We have 100,000 defenders and fortifications scattered all over the country. It is no exaggeration to say that our defensive positions are difficult to break through. Our outer defensive areas are dominated by Qihe, Changqing, Zhangxia, and Wangsheren. Zhuang and other places were used as warning positions, and the main positions were built along the lines of Queshan, Huashan, Maolingshan, Yanchishan, Huilongling, Qianfoshan, Ma'anshan, Lashan, and Yaoshan, with a depth of more than ten kilometers and 160 troops. Support points. Our basic defensive zone is based on the commercial port as the first line of positions, the outer city as the second line of positions, and the inner city as the core position. Such positions are not only much better than Weixian and Yanzhou, but also the defense system of large cities in North China incomparable. "I now announce that for the purpose of securing Jinan, the Jinan area will be divided into two garrison areas, east and west. The key points of garrison will be to the west and south of the airport, from the north of the city along the line from Luokou of the Yellow River to the line of Baliwa in the south of the city to the west of Changqing. The west garrison area, the line from Luokou of the Yellow River in the north of the city to Baliwa in the south of the city to Guodian is the east garrison area." "Commander Wu!" Wang Yaowu began to point out his generals. Wu Huawen, commander of the 96th Army and commander of the 84th Division, stood up, stood with his hands down, and accepted the order. "Appoint you as the commander of the Jinan West Garrison Area. You will command the 151st Brigade and the 161st Brigade of the 84th Division, the Independent Brigade of the 96th Army, the 211th Brigade of the 2nd Division, the Youth Teaching Corps, The People's Pioneer Corps and the Fourth Security Brigade will take Lashan, Zhouguantun, Baimashan, and Qinglongshan as the main positions to defend the western area of ​​Jinan. You are required to perform your duties and take on this important task; the chief officers of the troops listed above , I hope you will obey Commander Wu, and if you neglect or neglect your duties, you will be severely punished! Your headquarters will be set up in the commercial port." "Yes!" Wu Huawen sat down slowly. "Master Cao!" Wang Yaowu pointed to Major General Cao Zhenduo, the commander of the reorganized 73rd Division.Master Cao also stood up suddenly to listen to the order. "Appoint you as the commander of the Jinan East Garrison Area. You will command the 15th Brigade and the 77th Brigade of the 73rd Division, the 213th Brigade, the Secret Service Brigade, and the 6th Security Brigade of the 2nd Division. Maoling Mountain, Yanchi Mountain, Qianfo Mountain, and Sili Mountain are the main positions to defend the eastern part of Jinan. Your headquarters is located at the west end of the window back street in the city. You are required to fulfill your duties, strictly enforce military discipline, and complete tasks like Army Commander Wu. .” "Yes!" Cao Zhenduo suddenly sat down again. "Mr. Yan!" Wang Yaowu then pointed to Yan Zifeng, the head of the Second Reorganization Division.Yan also stood up to receive the order. "Appoint you as the commander of the garrison's general reserve. You will command the fifty-seventh brigade, the nineteenth brigade, and the national army units that may be transported by air. The fifty-seventh brigade will be placed in Dangjiazhuang, and the nineteenth brigade will be placed in Beijiangshan .You are required to do your due diligence and deal with those who violate military discipline strictly." "Yes!" In the same pattern, Yan Zifeng sat down. Wang Yaowu continued to point out generals: "The garrison troops for the independent outlying strongholds are announced as follows: Qihe is defended by the 4th Bao Brigade; Gushan is defended by the 57th Brigade; Zhonggong is defended by the 213th Brigade; The defense of the Licheng Self-Defense Regiment and other departments. The task of those of you who stick to the outer strongholds is: to defend your strongholds, consume the combat power of the Communist Army, and cover the defense of the main position. You must use military skills!" After the order was issued, the defending generals and schools at the meeting all knew in their hearts that this battle was inevitable.After announcing the order, Wang Yaowu led the generals and school officials attending the meeting to inspect the positions. At the same time that Wang Yaowu was setting up his formation, the East China Field Army's 320,000 troops and dozens of soldiers were on the vast land stretching from the north bank of the Yellow River, south to Xubeng, east to the banks of the Grand Canal in northern Jiangsu, and west to Shangqiu in eastern Henan. Thousands of former migrant workers quietly entered their designated positions. March!March towards Jinan, the last important fortress held by the Shandong Kuomintang army! The Huaye First, Fourth, and Eighth Columns located in Guoyang and Bo County in eastern Henan, under the leadership of Ye Fei, Tao Yong, Guo Huaruo, Zhang Renchu, and Wang Yiping, crossed the Longhai Railway to the north. Passing by quietly, day and night, he went to Jiaxiang and Juye in the southwest of Shandong. At the same time, knee Haiqing and Kang Zhiqiang led the second column, Cheng Jun and Zhao Qimin led the seven columns, Xie Zhenhua and Li Qianhui led the twelve columns, from the Lianshui area in northern Jiangsu to the eastern section of Longhai Road in North Vietnam, and from Huang Baitao's 7th Corps After that, go straight to the Tengxian line of the Jinpu Railway in the south of Shandong, and build fortifications to prevent and fight aid. The Eleven Columns led by Hu Bingyun and Zhang Fan moved northward to the Shuibo Liangshan area in Shandong to build a second line of deep positions after taking over the positions left by the columns in the south of Longhai Road going north. The Ten Columns led by Song Shilun and Liu Peishan, the Three Columns led by Sun Jixian and Ding Qiusheng, and the Six Columns led by Wang Bicheng and Jiang Weiqing first built relief fortifications in Jiaxiang and Juyejian in southwest Shandong, and were later ordered to hand over the repaired fortifications. The Four Columns and Seven Columns from the south and the Independent First and Third Brigades of the Hebei-Shandong-Henan Military Region.The Sixth Column moved eastward to fight on the eastern front, while the Tenth Column and the Third Column would quietly move forward along both sides of the Jinpu Line together with the Guangdong-Guangzhou Columns led by Zeng Sheng and Lei Jingtian and most of the Shandong Column. The Ninth Column of the Shandong Corps, led by Nie Fengzhi and Liu Haotian, and the Thirteenth Column, under the command of Zhou Zhijian and Liao Haiguang, arrived at Tai'an and Laiwu cities early. Using these two cities as hypothetical cities in Jinan, tens of thousands of soldiers were organized to practice attacking City, until before the battle, it quietly approached Jinan from the east of Mount Tai at night. Under the arrangement of Commander Zhang Guohua, Chief of Staff Chen Mingyi, and Director of the Political Department Wang Youping, the five regiments of the Henan, Anhui, and Soviet Military Regions began their assault on the Xubeng section of Jinpu Road—— As a result, an explosion occurred at the Kuomintang Air Force Base in Xuzhou, and the "General Suppression" exclaimed that "the Communist Army has the purpose of plotting Xuzhou."Military vehicles were speeding inside the city of Xuzhou, and soldiers and guards were increased on the hills outside the city. It seemed that the Communist army would come soon. This is a dozen bustling days and nights.Troops and migrant workers entered combat readiness.On the big roads and small roads, between big rivers and small rivers, in the fields and mountains, mountain villages and important towns, a huge force flows forward overwhelmingly.The artillery carts are rumbling, the wheels are rolling, the battle flags are fluttering, the bugles are loud and loud, and the war horses are neighing; carts and carts are carried on shoulders and pushed by hands, with lanterns and torches, night and day are the same. This is a spectacle in the history of China's revolutionary war. This is a turbulent torrent that is enough to destroy the Jiang family dynasty. On the eve of the war, Wang Yaowu's desk was constantly piled up with documents and information from many sources: Changqing and Wande, the outlying strongholds more than 30 kilometers away from Jinan City, had discovered that the Communist Army was active: the Communist Army's ten verticals, three The Zong and Liangguang Columns moved from the southwest to Jinan; the Nine Columns, the Thirteen Columns, and the Bohai Column had quietly approached Jinan from the south and east; the Communist Army was also found moving forward in the Zhonggong and Longshan areas 20 kilometers south; the Communist Army The local independent brigades and regiments of the various military divisions under the command of the East China Military Region are also surrounding the outer strongholds; a large number of migrant workers organized by the Communist Army are pressing towards Jinan from all directions... "Chief of Staff", the worried Wang Yaowu said to Luo Xinli, "According to the situation of all parties, the Communist Army's plan to destroy Jinan has long been completed. It is estimated that 200,000 people are moving to Jinan. I think the First World War in Jinan is about to break out." You see, Liu Zhi refused to send troops in order to protect himself. We had no choice but to ask the old man again." Luo Xinli said: "Liu Zhi is an old fox. It is an established decision for him not to send soldiers. The matter has come to this, and we have to ask President Jiang again." After listening to Luo Xinli's words, Wang Yaowu was silent for a while.Slowly stood up, came to his chief of staff, and said with infinite emotion: "You and my brothers have been suppressing the Communist Party and the War of Resistance for nearly 20 years. It can be said that we have fought in the South and the North, and shared the misfortunes and blessings. We are brothers and sisters, and we are best friends. My Wang's success is naturally due to your hard work and hard work. This point will never be forgotten. After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, you and I came to Shandong together. Since the civil war, we always lose every time we fight against the Communist Army. This makes me I don’t understand. Since Deputy Commander Li was defeated and captured in Laiwu, the battle situation in Shandong has really gone from bad to worse. I always refuse to admit defeat, but there is nothing I can do. The future of the battle in Jinan is uncertain. Since President Jiang is determined to stick to it, we can only obey These days, I always feel that this will be the last battle between you and me against the Communist Army. I also hope that you will continue to be my right and left arm. It is said that one confidant is enough in life. I can have you as a confidant. In times of crisis, you will gain confidence." Luo Xinli, who was always good at speaking to his master's heart, became more emotional at this time, and said: "Commander Wang, your heartfelt words made Xin Li very grateful. I am a rough man and a warrior. The post of Chief of Staff of the Sui District is naturally cultivated and supported by the commander for many years. I am not a three-year-old urchin. If you think about it, the power of the party and the country is almost exhausted! Well, if this is the case, you and I cannot save it. Although I was in a trance in the battle of Jinan, I was determined to stick to it with you to the end. Please rest assured, Commander!" A gust of autumn wind blows, and the leaves of the sycamore trees in the courtyard fall one after another. On September 14, 1948, Wang Yaowu flew to Nanjing by plane.This time he went to Nanjing, he only brought Zhong Juefei, the director of his secretary office.As soon as they got off the plane, they hurried straight to Chiang Kai-shek's official residence. Seeing Wang Yaowu's worried look, Chiang Kai-shek first said to Zhong Juefei: "Director Zhong, please sit in the reception room." Then he led Wang Yaowu into the secret room and asked urgently: "Juncai, how is it in Jinan?" Wang Yaowu put his hands down and said: "About 200,000 troops of the Communist Army have approached Jinan, and they are about to attack Jinan immediately. Judging from their capture of Weixian and Yanzhou, their combat effectiveness is indeed much stronger than before. They already have The strength and technology to attack the fortifications. The 73rd Division was originally scheduled to be airlifted to Jinan, and Commander-in-Chief Liu reported to the President for approval to delay the transport. Commander Du went to Jinan a few days ago to discuss with us the matter of defending the economy, and we also asked for additional troops. But He repeatedly emphasized that it is enough to stick to it, and his humble position is his subordinate. It is difficult to call for troops directly. He had to ask the president to send troops when the Communist army approached the city. If there is no additional division, Jinan will not be able to defend. Please take the one I brought in the past The Seventy-Fourth Division immediately airlifted Jinan to strengthen its defenses, so that we can be sure of defending Jinan." Chiang Kai-shek paced back and forth on the green carpet in the secret room; Wang Yaowu was still standing beside him, only squinting at the color of his president's face from the corner of his eye. Chiang Kai-shek said: "It has been 40 years since the revolution. In the long war, I have experienced hardships, setbacks, and slanders. No matter how much the failure is, I always hold the belief that I will win. And in the end, you will be able to achieve success. Juncai, you lack this indomitable spirit.” Wang Yaowu stated his difficulties: "Yaowu never forgets the President's great love for me, and always wants to show the President's kindness to me with the record of suppressing the Communist Party. Today, I dare to speak out in front of the President. The failure of the national army is often The generals disregarded the interests of the party and the country and others, and each protected his own power. Based on the experience of repeated reinforcements in the past that failed to complete the task, it is because we underestimated the strength of the Communist Army to intercept my reinforcements. In my opinion If Jinan is besieged, the main force of the communist army is likely to be deployed in Yanzhou, Jining and the areas north of it, preventing our reinforcements from going north. In addition, our army's morale is low, and the strength of reinforcements is small, making it difficult to complete the task." After Wang Yaowu finished speaking, he listened quietly to Chiang Kai-shek's answer.After a long silence, Chiang Kai-shek said: "Okay, Juncai, I will order to airlift Qiu Weida of the Seventy-Fourth Division from Xuzhou to Jinan. Jinan has solid fortifications and reinforcements, so it can be defended completely. Remember, the tactics of the communist army are rushing and rushing." Fight, as long as the garrison is stable for the first few days, their offensive will be frustrated. I have prepared a strong reinforcement force, and once the communist army besieges Jinan, I will strictly order the reinforcements to advance quickly. The last point you must pay attention to: wait for me When reinforcements from the army arrive in Yanzhou and the area north of Jining, you should contact them at any time. When the reinforcements and the communist army are exhausted from fighting, you should draw out two divisions to attack, attacking from north to south, and you will surely win." After receiving Chiang Kai-shek's promise to increase troops, Wang Yaowu left the presidential palace with satisfaction.A gust of autumn wind blew over from the Yangtze River, and he felt a burst of relief in his heart.He suddenly thought of his mother, his wife Zheng Yilan and the children in Nanjing.He drove to his villa in Nanjing without stopping. The arrival of Wang Yaowu surprised the whole family.The adjutant Wang Xiangbin was also more attentive and tried his best to prepare the next welcome dinner.Amidst the laughter of his mother, wife, children and Adjutant Wang, Wang Yaowu forgot the war for a moment.He drifted into the mist of rice and spring wheat in the south of the Yangtze River in a daze.He thought of his hometown at the foot of Mount Tai and the cabbage tofu there.He wants to drink the water of his hometown.He feels too tired.he is drunk... When Wang Yaowu returned to Jinan from Nanjing, as soon as he stepped into his bedroom, the Chief of Operations rushed in and reported to him: Commander, a large army of the Communist Army was found in the west and south of Changqing: from the south to the north of Longshan Station on the Jiaoji Railway It was also found that the main force of the Communist Army was moving towards Jinan.Wang Yaowu was slightly shocked after hearing the report from the director of operations: "I thought that the main force of the communist army must be placed west of Jinan, and the focus was on capturing the airport in the western suburbs to cut off the air support of the national army. In order to cover the 74th Division, airlift Jinan , we must try our best to stop the advance of the communist army. Send my order: Changqing must keep the note. In addition, send electricity to the 74th division, and ask them to obey the president's order and airlift Jinan as soon as possible." Wang Yaowu's judgment was not wrong.He couldn't know how much Mao Zedong, Zhou Enlai, etc. in Xibaipo, and Su Yu, the leader of Huaye, paid attention to the airport since the battle of planning.He made this judgment with the general military common sense of a military general.Wang Yaowu also didn't know that the supreme commander of the People's Liberation Army who was about to launch an attack on the front line west of his city was Song Shilun, a tough opponent and his classmate from Huangpu.
