?The Qing army's breakout plan was divided into three routes, from the east, west, north and west. However, only one of them was real, and the other two were bluffs to attract the attention of the Chinese army. ""
Juti's plan was that Han general Liu Wuyuan would lead 30,000 men and break out from the due north. After half an hour, Han general Shi Chaolin would also lead 30,000 men and break out from the east. After these two groups of troops launch a breakout, they will definitely be able to attract most of the Chinese army. Then the Qing army will gather elite troops to break out from the west. If they can successfully break through, they will rush to Zhenyang County to garrison, and then join forces. Nikan and Han Dai's troops are making their next plan. Of course, Liu Wuwu and Shi Chaolin cannot be trusted with the real information. At the same time, Azige also strictly ordered these two people to fight to the death without any permission. After the Qing army successfully broke through, Azig simply ignored the fate of these two troops.
After the arrangements were made, the Qing army immediately began to take action separately. At about 9 a.m., Liu Wuyuan led 30,000 troops and took the lead in attacking due north. The Qing army had not walked five miles out of Xixian when they encountered the intercepting force of the Chinese army. .
Guarding the due north is the 17th Army of the Nanjing Military Region. Because time was too tight at this time, the soldiers of the 17th Army did not have time to dig trenches and fill mud and sand bags. Therefore, they could only directly form a three-row firing formation to block the Qing army. .And the Qing army also knew whether the breakthrough could be successful, so they launched an attack desperately, and the two sides soon started a fierce battle.
Li Dingguo crossed the Huaihe River in the area east of Xixian County, so the first thing to inspect was the defense line to the east of the Chinese Army. The Eleventh Army and the Twentieth Army were stationed to the east of Xixian County, because at this time the Qing Army The attack in the center is fierce, while the Chinese army in the east is digging trenches and building defense lines.
Li Dingguo had already expected that the Qing army would immediately choose to break out of the encirclement. However, it was difficult to judge whether this breakout attack in the middle was the Qing army's true direction of breaking out, or whether it was a bluff and an attack from the east to the west. Based on combat experience alone, it is difficult to judge. In theory, Li Dingguo can be said to be unparalleled among the generals of the Chinese Army. Long before he joined the Chinese Army, he had followed Zhang Xianzhong and experienced countless life-and-death battles. Especially the breakout battle, and even more so. It's like a daily meal.
Therefore, Li Dingguo also immediately ordered all troops to strictly defend themselves. He could not relax his vigilance in other places just because the Qing army launched an attack to the north. At the same time, Li Dingguo also stepped up adjustments to the defense line in the east and mapped out detailed position distribution of troops. Schematic diagram. At the same time, we are also preparing to mobilize troops and take the initiative to attack the Qing army to contain the Qing army's breakout.
After arranging these things, Li Dingguo was ready to rush to the middle road to command the defense there and establish his own pre-war headquarters. Because sitting in the middle road was conducive to giving orders to the overall situation.
At this moment, Cheng Peijing, commander of the Eleventh Army, came to report to Li Dingguo that someone among the Qing army came to contact the Chinese Army and wanted to carry out a front-line uprising, hoping that the Chinese Army would accept it.
After getting the news, Li Dingguo couldn't help but be very happy. If the news was true, it would of course be of great benefit to the Chinese army, because at this time, if some people in the Qing army launched a front-line uprising and attacked the Chinese army, The surrender of the army was not only a heavy blow to the morale of the Qing army, but also a good opportunity to attack the Qing army's breakout plan and stabilize the Chinese army's encirclement. So he immediately ordered an audience with the Chinese army. Contact person.
Those who wanted to launch a frontline uprising were the original men of Geng Zhongming's department.
When Geng Zhongming was captured, there were about 40,000 people in his tribe, including 20,000 of his own men and the Sichuan Army who originally belonged to Wu Sangui's tribe. Because at that time, Geng Zhongming's subordinates and the main generals of the Sichuan Army were also captured, or were killed.
Deported back to Sichuan, only some Chinese
No one among the lower-level officers took the lead, and under the pressure of the Qing army, they were all willing to obey the orders of the Qing court and were assigned to Azig's tribe. And Azige was not at ease with Geng Zhongming's tribe.
Therefore, all Geng Zhongming's troops were disrupted and dispersed among the various armies.
However, the military structure of the Qing army was very complete, and time was tight. Therefore, these more than 40,000 troops could not be completely dispersed and placed among the various armies. They were only dispersed into teams ranging from two to three thousand, and still remained the same.
It was led by the former generals of Geng Zhongming's tribe.
Of course, according to Azig's idea, the 40,000-strong army was divided into a dozen teams of 2,000 to 3,000 people, and it was indeed impossible to make any big waves. Moreover, in the subsequent battle in southern Henan, these troops of Geng Zhongming's army did not dare to disobey.
Whatever Azig ordered them to do, they did it honestly
, never dared to complain at all, so the Qing army assigned all tasks such as charging, sending people to death, and serving as cannon fodder to Geng Zhongming's troops. As a result, the number of people killed in Geng Zhongming's troops had already reached this point in the battle.
The number exceeded 10,000, accounting for more than half of the total number of Qing army casualties.
But this was at the beginning of the Battle of Southern Henan. On the surface, the Qing army had won consecutive battles and marched straight in. Therefore, even if the soldiers of Geng Zhongming's department were dissatisfied, they did not dare to have any objections.
When the Qing army reached the Huaihe River, the Chinese army began to strengthen its resistance and gradually reversed the situation. As a result, overnight last night, the Chinese army launched a full-scale attack, breaking through the Qing army's positions on the left and right wings in succession, and
The Qing army surrounded them, and the situation on the battlefield became chaotic, so some of the former generals and soldiers of Geng Zhongming's department began to have other ideas.
After Azige formulated the plan to break out of the encirclement, Shi Chaolin, who was responsible for the breakout on the east road, had three troops from Geng Zhongming's tribe. The three generals were named Li Jiang, Chen Zuowei, and Zhang Zhonghong. They were originally from Geng Zhongming's tribe, and they were all guerrilla generals.
Among them, Li Jiang and Chen Zuowei were both generals of Geng Zhongming's headquarters, while Zhang Zhonghong was a general of the Sichuan Army. At this time, the three of them joined forces, with about 5,000 troops.
Because they were of the same origin, the three of them often got together to discuss the situation and vent their dissatisfaction with the Qing army. This time, Shi Chaolin was ordered to break out on the eastern front, and he also ordered the three of them to be responsible for the first batch of attacking troops.
First of all, they launched an attack on the Chinese army, with the purpose of using them as cannon fodder. After learning that they would break out with Shi Chaolin and being sent to lead the attack, the three of them got together again, and this time they discussed how to attack the Chinese army.
The Chinese army surrendered.
Li Jiang and Chen Zuowei were Geng Zhongming's old subordinates and knew more about the Chinese Army. Therefore, they also believed that the Qing Army was now defeated and they could not follow the Qing Army to death. They advocated immediate surrender to the Chinese Army. According to the Chinese Army's surrender system
According to the regulations, it can still be regarded as a frontline uprising. However, Zhang Zhonghong still has some concerns, because the Qing army may still succeed in breaking through.
But Li Jiang said: "What's the use of a successful breakout? We in the Qing army are not like that. Even if we don't die this time, we may still be the scapegoats in the next battle."
Hearing what Li Jiang said, Zhang Zhonghong was immediately speechless, so the three of them immediately discussed it. Because the breakout was about to begin, the three of them each sent a confidant to go to the Chinese Army to contact the Chinese Army about surrendering.
.And asked the Chinese Army to send troops to assist them.
After listening to the three people's speeches, Li Dingguo was basically able to judge that more than 70% of the surrender was true, but he could not believe it entirely. Maybe it was a fraudulent surrender plan by the Qing envoys to first deceive the trust of the Chinese army and think that the Qing army
It's true surrender, so relax
It is not impossible to be vigilant and wait until the Chinese army is close to the position to launch a surprise attack and catch the Chinese army by surprise. Therefore, all preparations must be made, both to accept the surrender of the Qing army and to prevent the Qing army from surrendering.
The military envoys deceived.
So Li Dingguo made an appointment with the three of them at the meeting place, and also put forward his own requirements. First, the surrender of Li Jiang, Chen Zuowei, and Zhang Zhonghong could be carried out according to the standards of the frontline uprising and enjoy corresponding treatment. The Chinese Army would never
Second, during the process of surrender, the Chinese army was not allowed to shoot until the Qing army arrived at the meeting point. Once the gunfire was heard, the Chinese army
The general will regard the Qing army as falsely surrendering and launch an attack on the Qing army; third, after the Chinese army reaches the Qing army, the Qing army must put down all weapons and enter the position channel vacated by the Chinese army empty-handed; third, after entering the Chinese army's position
, will be stationed at a location designated by the Chinese Army for two to three days, waiting for the reorganization of the Chinese Army, but will never leave without an order from the Chinese Army.
In order to show the sincerity of the Chinese army, Li Dingguo also sent three scouts to return to the Qing army with them to interview Li Jiang, Chen Zuowei, and Zhang Zhonghong. At the same time, once they decided to surrender, these three scouts were also responsible for
Communicate with the Chinese Army along the way.
After these six people returned to the Qing army's station, Li Jiang, Chen Zuowei, and Zhang Zhonghong were all a little anxious, because it was now time for the East Road to launch a breakout, and Shi Chaolin had already ordered people to come twice.
Because this was the second time, the tone was very stern, requiring the three men to send troops immediately, otherwise they would be prosecuted according to military law immediately. Moreover, the envoy was in the military camp of the three men, waiting for the three men to send troops.
After receiving a clear reply from the Chinese Army, the three of them finally breathed a sigh of relief. In any case, the Chinese Army accepted their surrender and agreed to the standards for the frontline uprising, which is very good. As for the Chinese Army's proposal
The other three requirements of
The scouts sent by Li Dingguo also repeatedly assured them that these demands were just in case. As long as the three of them surrendered sincerely, they would not have to worry about their own safety. Now the three of them had no choice but to accept them all.
Whether it is a blessing or a curse is up to God.
