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

The situation in the city is worse than expected, and knowing that the national army is doomed, the chaos in the city is out of control.

Chen was an honest man. He obeyed orders and stayed put, waiting for the outcome of the negotiations.

The two armies under his command had some small ideas in their hearts, to see if they could revolt. But seeing that Chen Changjie's attitude was clear, it was not easy for them to talk about revolt.

Guard it, talk it.

In terms of the overall situation, two major events occurred. One was the siege in the Northeast, which completely blocked the important city of Shenyang. The fighting was expected to end in the next two or three months.

At the same time, Brother Biao's columns were allowed to rest and the main army entered North China to fight.

The situation in North China was also very clear, with Ding Wei's 50 troops facing off against Mr. Fu's 50 troops.

The two cities of Peking and Tianjin were blockaded separately and were in the process of negotiation. Whether to fight or resolve peacefully needed to be handled by the headquarters.

The third is the Huaihai region, which can also be called the Central Plains region. The two troops of the Central Plains Field Army and the Huaibei Field Army determined the strategy of fighting in the north.

From a passive defensive posture, they began to take the initiative, intending to annihilate 1-5 brigades of the Kuomintang army in mobile warfare.

A reorganized division of the National Army has 2 to 3 people, which is equivalent to an army.

A brigade has about 10,000 people, which is equivalent to a reduced division.

Annihilating 1-5 brigades is equivalent to killing to people. This is a small but difficult combat goal.

The two field armies planned to do something in the eastern Henan region. Ding Wei didn't know much about Huaye and didn't have much contact with them. But for Zhongye, it was their old kin.

The counterattack in the Central Plains region began.

Both the enemy and us deployed heavy troops. The Huaye and Zhongye had a total of 15 columns, which lacked heavy weapons and equipment. Many columns were not fully staffed and had a tight manpower situation.

The Nationalist army deployed 25 reorganized divisions, which were not only well-equipped, but some units were seriously overstaffed. One division had more than 4 people, comparable to a column.

There is an obvious gap in strength between the two sides, especially the lack of heavy weapons, which makes it easy for them to fall into a passive situation.

At this time, Ding Wei's troops entered North China and took action in the Pingjin area, which gave people hope.

If one or two of Ding Wei's columns could be transferred to the Central Plains as spearheads or mainstays, it would certainly ease the predicament of the war.

It is entirely possible to ease the military forces while negotiations are taking place in the Peiping-Tianjin area.

Who made Ding Wei alone mobilize more than 50 people to annihilate the 35th, 104th and 15th Armies? The military strength in the Pingjin area was sharply reduced by tens of thousands and was in a defensive state.

As long as there is no fighting, it is completely feasible to withdraw a column.

What's more, there is a Zhang Dabiao Corps as the general reserve force.

If they can come to support us, we can focus on knocking out the main ace forces of the National Army in the Central Plains.

Ding Wei and Zhang Dabiao got together and had a drink in the evening.

I received a telegram from my old boss today. The first thing was congratulations. Congratulations on the end of the war in Northeast China and the smooth progress in the Pingjin area.

The second thing was to ask when to go south to help liberate the Central Plains.

Because the phone was not connected, I couldn't feel the brigade commander's whipping.

"Da Biao, we just arrived in North China, and we are about to go head-to-head with the elite of the National Army, and it is also a large main force. Do you have any ideas?"

Zhang Dabiao laughed and did not take the Kuomintang's ace seriously.

"Commander, we have encountered ace forces before. Aren't the two ace forces, the New First Army and the New Sixth Army, already in our corps? This requires us to gather the prisoners of the five main forces, which can also be regarded as an achievement of the Liberation War."

"If you ask me, we should get rid of Chen Changjie first. This old guy is the easiest to deal with. Leave a few columns to guard Beiping, and the main forces of the remaining columns will push Xiao Huaihai across."

Pushing Chen Changjie and connecting with the Huaye troops was a good move. There was a general over there, and even a simple-minded idiot could be led to a wave of victories as long as he was obedient.

Ding Wei really wanted to arrange two troops to break the stalemate in North China first and enter the Huaihai area to take some action.

It is a bit exaggerated to withdraw two columns, but it is more reliable to take out three or four divisions.

Zhang Dabiao didn't care about Huaihai or not, whether to fight or not, he just wanted to give a straight answer and directly overthrow Chen Changjie.

There is a war going on now, so let's solve the current problem first.

In mid-May, some secret information about the negotiations reached Ding Wei. Basically, the negotiations went smoothly and Mr. Fu was very aware of the current situation.

He said he could give up all his troops and not get involved in any political factors, and only demanded the release of prisoners of war and give them a chance to reform.

Hurry and solve it, I'm already tired.

It would have been better for Mr. Fu to realize the current situation earlier. If he had surrendered honestly during the first negotiation, Ding Wei would not have destroyed three armies.

This wait lasted for more than half a month. It is normal to waste some time in negotiations.

This does not prevent Ding Wei from continuing to shrink the encirclement and forming a close division strategy for the two important cities.

But until the end of May, after giving the other party the deadline for a reply, Mr. Fu still had illusions and was waiting for his chance by procrastinating.

Relying on the 50 troops at hand, he still has the ability to fight.

Let's see if there will be any improvement if this drags on. Everything is going well but there is no new action.

Intelligence from Tianjin City showed that Chen Changjie had not received any order to revolt and was still on high alert.

One of the planes that wanted to leave Tianjin was shot down by a 88mm anti-aircraft gun.

The plane crashed not far outside the city, sounding the alarm for everyone.

If you want to leave here, you have to ask Mr. Ding for permission.

Inside Tianjin Station, Stationmaster Wu paced back and forth anxiously, thinking over and over again, but he couldn't think of a good solution. The ticket he got with the privilege of using gold bars was no different from a piece of waste paper.

There were a large number of anti-aircraft guns outside the city, and the planes were bombed as soon as they took off.

"Zhecheng, is there any other smuggling channel? We have to find a way to send our family out. Your sister-in-law is a woman, she has never experienced such a thing before, she is so anxious that she cries every day."

Not only Stationmaster Wu was anxious, but thousands of spies of all sizes in the city were also trying to find ways to make a living.

At the moment, there seems to be no good way to get out except to find connections with the Eighth Route Army.

Disguised as the masses?

This is a feasible route.

But how can they transport the furniture and treasures in their hands while disguising themselves as ordinary people?

The port was sealed, the air was blocked, and the fortified city was now like an iron barrel. People outside the city wanted to get in, and people inside the city wanted to get out.

Deputy Station Master Yu appeared anxious and depressed on the surface, but he was secretly very happy.

Now there are only him and the stationmaster left, and Stationmaster Wu even suspects that he is at Mount Emei.

At this point, he had to be tied up tightly.

With his cunning eyes, he should have figured it out after his subordinates got into trouble one after another. Due to the performance of the Jade Throne Golden Buddha and the current situation, it would be difficult to follow him or it would become a showdown.

Inside the garrison headquarters, Chen Changjie's attitude was very firm. Anyone who dared to surrender would be immediately dealt with by military law.

An honest man, he follows orders resolutely.

Mr. Fu was being unfair in this matter. You were even thinking of rebelling, so why didn't you tell your brothers the truth?
