Bright Sword: Start with Ding Blast Bridge, Homemade Sweet Potato Cake

Anyone with a discerning eye can see the situation in the Northeast. The main combat forces are at a disadvantage, and the military strength and combat effectiveness have undergone earth-shaking changes.

When they first entered the Northeast, the American-equipped divisions could run rampant with impunity.

After fighting for two years, I found that I couldn’t fight anymore.

At the same time, the Americans cut off logistical supplies, further reducing the combat effectiveness of the American-equipped divisions.

This is not the point. The point is that the People's Liberation Army is becoming more and more capable of fighting.

Weapons and equipment have been replenished, heavy firepower is sufficient, and the strength of the columns can be maintained.

Even a fool knows that the current battlefield in Northeast China is a pit, and even a god would find it difficult to turn the situation around.

Commander Chen is not a fool, but he feels that the blame is getting closer and closer and is about to fall on his head.

If you don't run now, you may never be able to escape in this lifetime.

Ding Wei's five independent columns continued to press on the Liaohe River line, threatening the Fengtian Headquarters.

In the north and east, Biaoge's 11 columns of troops continued to exert pressure from the mountainous areas and railway lines.

It divided cities such as Tieling, Fengtian and Jinzhou.

The current situation is not something Chen Cixiu can resolve, so he has to find a way to escape.

The next day, he fell ill.

A famous doctor was flown to Fengtian by plane. After examining the patient, he gave medical advice. It is not known how many gold bars the doctor received, but the advice given was that the patient needed to rest for more than ten days.

During the rest period, you are not allowed to make or receive phone calls, work, or worry too much.

To sum up, he can no longer command the Northeastern armies, and he should be replaced as soon as possible.

This is a way for myself to save face, and also for my mother Xipi to save face.

Niang Xipi just felt that he was screwed and told him to drink some hot water and rest up.

You are just pretending to be sick, what medicine are you taking?

The key point is that only Commander Chen himself knows the situation in Fengtian. If he doesn't run away now, he will really perish together with the Northeast.

You can shout slogans, but how can you really do it?

He used his wife's connections and other networks to find a suitable scapegoat, the fire-fighting captain known as the Tiger General - Captain Wei.

Captain Wei is an old hand, and his arrival is bound to add vitality to the battlefield in Northeast China.

In the autumn of 47, the troops were frequently mobilized for combat, targeting various strongholds outside the city.

It was affectionately called the Disarmament Operation by the top brass, which dismantled the garrison outposts outside the main force of the National Army, leaving several corps trapped in large urban strongholds, forming a strategic isolation.

At present, the main force in Northeast China is Shenyang.

Judging from the current situation, the main force of the Nationalist Army in the Northeast is in an absolutely defensive position, but it is not completely unable to fight.

Niang Xipi placed the fire captain in Shenyang and established a Jireliao Border Region Command in Jinzhou, with the aim of controlling the logistics routes in and out of the Northeast through micro-manipulation.

As long as Fan Hanjie of the border command is obedient, Captain Wei must also be obedient.

His original intention was to integrate North China, Jinzhou and Northeast China into one super strategic area, capable of blocking off the interior and exterior of the Great Wall and stabilizing the war situation by relying on the Yanshan defense line.

As long as the war situation outside the pass is stabilized, the war inside the pass will be over soon.

Yes, at least during the period from the end of 47 to the beginning of 48, the interior of China still had the upper hand.

Captain Wei was once entangled with the Eighth Route Army, and now he is being pulled out again to put out the fire.

At the same time, Fu in North China and Fan in Jinzhou were involved in taking care of both North China and Northeast China.

It can be said that the deployment was very beautiful and the personnel arrangement was also excellent.

The Ji-Re-Liao border area was under the jurisdiction of both the North China Suppression Headquarters and the Northeast Suppression Headquarters, which was equivalent to controlling the key points of these two heavy troops at the same time. It was a layout that killed two birds with one stone.

Niang Xipi was quite proud of herself and praised her finishing touch as worthy of being written down in her diary.

Diary: [Today, the commander-in-chief of the North China Bandit Suppression Headquarters came to discuss the matter. He believed that North China and Northeast China should be connected as one, and the transportation line between the Hebei-Rehe-Liaoning Border Region and the Beining Road should be maintained. Only when they are connected as one can a joint attack and defense be carried out.

Since I arrived in Fengtian, I have observed that the situation is critical. Cixiu has become mentally ill due to illness and I am very worried about the situation in Fengtian. Now that we have arranged for a powerful general to take charge in Shenyang, we can turn the crisis into safety. 】

Since Ding Wei took over the front-line command, the offensive of the independent column has become more fierce, and the supply of the logistics troops has been improved.

The artillery on the front line was basically firing at full capacity.

After successively capturing several outer strongholds, they approached Xinkaitun Town outside Fuxin.

According to Zhang Dabiao, no one should be allowed to sleep soundly beside his bed, so Xinmin, Heishan, Tai'an and Panshan in the west of Liaohe River should be taken over.

Threaten the Bac Ninh Railway and isolate the heavy troops in Fengtian.

Zhang Dabiao's idea coincided with the order of the East General. Several columns in the east and south cooperated in combat, launching the climax of the winter offensive.

Ding Wei's command center received the latest battle reports one after another.

"Report, the first column has taken over the xxx stronghold; the second column has taken over the xxx stronghold..."

The KMT's outer strongholds could not withstand the attack, and as the New Year was approaching, they did not prepare for a large-scale offensive, and took advantage of the KMT's troop mobilization to garrison in the urban area.

Quickly capture all isolated strongholds and expand the troops' active space.

Complete the division of the main force of the National Army.

Throughout the winter, the troops' attitude was to attack, attack, and attack.

The confidence and morale lost in the previous two years were all regained in one wave of counterattack.

The bases that were once lost are now all back in our hands.

The entire Liaohe Plain was pierced by several sharp swords.

After being repeatedly rubbed by the field column, the guard captain arrived in Shenyang and was taken directly to the headquarters by car.

A group of officers were waiting at the door to welcome the new commander.

It’s funny to say that in just two or three years, three superiors were replaced.

Du Yiqi missed the opportunity because of his hesitation, while Commander Chen was obsessed with besieging the point and attacking the reinforcements to counter the encirclement, which made him sick and bedridden.

The new captain of the guard also had his own way of fighting. After taking over the command, he ordered the troops at his disposal to garrison along the outskirts of Fengtian.

Just like a tortoise shell, they protected the solid city walls layer by layer. Then they felt relieved and talked with the army commanders and division commanders.

After understanding the situation in Northeast China, I became more determined to stay here and not leave.

Strengthen the fortifications, rely on them to hold on, mobilize supplies by airdrop, and don't think about anything else.

He personally supervised each unit, built defensive bunkers strictly according to the standards, and was prepared to be a turtle shell.

The front-line command center has moved to Zhangwu, which is very close to the Liaohe River and may be a good location for a charge.

Zhang Dabiao's column was stationed along Zhangwu, and in the north were the three independent columns of Kong Jie, Kong Yong and Wang Tao. The 12 independent divisions under their jurisdiction were stationed in a jagged posture to the south.

"Commander, the main force of the Nationalist army has completely ignored the isolated outposts on the periphery and is trying to hold out. It's difficult to deal with them."

Zhang Dabiao pointed to the southern and southeastern parts of Fengtian. The main forces of several columns had been trying to encircle the strongholds and attack the reinforcements coming out of the city for field battles.

However, several corps in Shenyang did not move at all and continued to strengthen their defenses, holding on to the idea that everything could be given up.

Even though Niang Xipi personally sent a telegram to Shenyang, urging the captain of the guard to go out of the city to support the outer strongholds, there was no sign of the troops in the city being mobilized.
