Cai Zhong couldn't bear to wake up Liu Yimin, so he sat down next to Liu Yimin, waved the guards who surrounded the human wall to protect Liu Yimin's sleep to disperse, took the kettle from his guard, and took a sip of chili water. Unexpectedly, he drank a little.
I was so anxious that I started coughing. This cough woke Liu Yimin up.
After Liu Yimin woke up, he stood up, took the kettle from Cai Zhong, drank a few sips, and felt warm all over. Then he wiped his mouth and said to Bowen and Li Deguang: "Director Cai told you.
Bar?"
Bowen and Li Deguang answered in unison: "Yes!"
At this time, all departments of our army were cleaning the battlefield, and the soldiers of the first battalion of the guard regiment deployed a guard circle around them, so as not to worry about the remaining Japanese soldiers getting cold shots. Liu Yimin took out a cigarette from his pocket and threw one to Cai Zhong.
He also lit one, took a sip, and then said: "You two are the senior backbone generals of our army. Bowen and Hu Laohu created our cavalry together, and it has developed into the current cavalry."
The Corps Headquarters has cavalry columns and 8 cavalry regiments and four cavalry battalions in each column, which has made great contributions to the development of our army. Li Deguang taught the 7th Brigade to the 7th Column, and participated in commanding a series of battles in the 7th Column.
In the battle, you showed high military command ability and also made great military exploits. Let the two of you form the Taoliao headquarters with Director Cai and serve as deputy commanders. I want you and Director Cai to work together.
Let's work together to complete the task assigned to you. This task can be simply summed up in three points: First, pretend that the main force of our army is operating in the Taonan and Baicheng areas and quickly seize Aershan Station and Angangxi Station, nail them there like nails, and control us.
The main force of our army marches westward to the Mongolian Plateau and goes north to strategic transportation points in the Far East. The second is to protect railways, highways, and stockpile grain, grass and ammunition. This lays the foundation for the main force of our army to move westward and northward. Thirdly,
It is to establish political power in this area, mobilize the masses, and expand the armed forces. At the moment, your most important task is to take advantage of the Angang River and Aershan before the Japanese army knows that our army has the opportunity to destroy the Fifth Army. The cavalry gets on the train and quickly attacks these two areas.
Local. As for the division of labor among the three of you, Director Cai is in charge of overall responsibility, Bowen is in charge of expanding the armed forces, collecting grain and grass, hoarding ammunition, and establishing local governments in Taonan and Baicheng, and Li Deguang is in charge of military command."
Here, Liu Yimin stopped for a while, looked at the Horqin Grassland in the night, and then continued: "Spring is coming in the Mongolian Plateau. It is just the right time for our army to sweep across Mongolia. You are the advance commander of the main force of our army to sweep across Mongolia.
The Department is also the Logistics Support Department. However, you alone cannot do it. Director Cai, please call Political Commissar Chen and ask him to report to the Central Committee immediately and ask the Central Committee to quickly organize Mongolian cadres to
All the Mongolian cadres in Xi'an are sent back, and we will fly them to Baicheng to meet you. At the same time, political commissar Chen is asked to organize a team of cadres in the Mongolian area in Shenyang, and take the train to come here to report to you. After this fight
First battle. Political Commissar Chen and Luo and I personally went to Baicheng to mobilize the cadres. At that time, our army will also deploy a large number of cadres from the main force to work in Mongolia and the Far East."
Cai Zhong said hurriedly: "Don't worry, Mr. Liu, we will definitely complete the task."
Liu Yimin also explained: "When mobilizing the masses, we must pay attention to ethnic policies. As soon as the Mongolian cadres sent by the central government arrive, we will start to hold training courses for Mongolian cadres. Do it sooner rather than later. The earlier you do it, the sooner you will get results."
When Cai Zhong saw Liu Yimin's instructions, Cai Zhong knew that he was worried, so he said: "I thought about it, we have eight cavalry regiments and four cavalry battalions here. There are also seven columns of troops left to guard Shuangliao to protect the supply line.
We have enough troops. We will detach six cavalry regiments to follow you eastward. This is a decisive battle. One more troops will give you more strength, and they can play a decisive role at critical moments."
Cai Zhong was bargaining with Liu Yimin just now, wanting two more infantry regiments, but now he wants to reduce the troops and strengthen the main force. What a great Cai Zhong, he is worthy of being the director of the political department of the Northeast People's Anti-Japanese Democratic Alliance Army!
To be honest, Liu Yimin wished he could take away all the remaining cavalry and increase the main assault force. However, the overall situation of the war must be looked at. Leaving this relatively powerful force on the western front can also protect the safety of the main force's flanks. In case of emergency
The Kwantung Army jumped over the wall and mobilized Japanese and puppet troops from Longjiang and Hung Yen provinces to sneak attack our army at critical moments. This force could block or even destroy the Japanese and puppet troops.
The cavalry regiments of each column were actually the original cavalry battalions. After the reorganization and expansion of the army, the cavalry battalions of the eight columns from the first column to the eighth column were expanded into cavalry regiments, with a strength of only more than 500 men, mainly because of the shortage of horses. The ninth column
The cavalry battalions of the four columns up to the twelfth column are still called cavalry battalions. Each battalion has more than 300 people. The reason is still the lack of horses.
After thinking for a long time, Liu Yimin said: "Okay, I will take away 5 of these eight cavalry regiments. I will leave you with 3 cavalry regiments and 3 cavalry battalions. As soon as this battle is over, Hu Laohu will arrive with all the cavalry."
Here, we will meet you as quickly as possible. Moreover, as long as the railways and roads are kept open, our army can dispatch troops from the front line to reinforce you at any time."
Cai Zhong led Bao Wen and Li Deguang away, busy setting up the Taoliao headquarters and carrying out the tasks assigned by Liu Yimin. Liu Yimin didn't sleep anymore and returned to the headquarters to clear the plateau, Li Qing, Hu Laohu and Li Chang.
, Han Qianjin called, asking if the troops had gathered and whether they had started to rest on the battlefield.
After learning that the first batch of troops preparing to set out were all gathering and resting, Liu Yimin told them that the soldiers must sleep for two hours, but they were not allowed to light a fire for warmth except for cooking, to avoid a sneak attack by Japanese planes at night.
Japanese aircraft have long been able to carry out sneak attacks at night, and they used this trick during the Battle of Songhu. Therefore, after our army occupied the city, it implemented a light control at night.
After putting down the phone, Liu Yimin turned on the lantern and personally sent a telegram to the chairman, reporting in detail the process of annihilating the Japanese Fifth Army and reporting that he would lead the main force eastward, capture Changchun, and fight the main force of the Kwantung Army. Finally, Liu Yimin proposed to temporarily
The news of our army's destruction of the Japanese Sixth Army and the Fifth Army will not be announced to the public, so as to gain time for our army's next battle and march into Mongolia and the Far East.
After drafting a telegram to the chairman, Liu Yimin sent a telegram to Chen Yun, Li Fuchun, and Xiang Ying to inform them of the elimination of the main force of the Fifth Army, and asked them to ensure smooth railway transportation and ensure the delivery of artillery shells to the front. Liu Yimin specifically requested that they must concentrate on producing daily
fighter jets, quickly replenishing Feng Dafei's battle losses, and strive to restore the fighter formation.
Liu Yimin telegraphed Liu Jianshe, the Second Column, and the Sixth Column to all rush to the front line of Siping tonight and join the battle. At the same time, he ordered Wang Jian'an of the Ninth Column, Wang Nanhu of the Twelfth Column, and Xu Shiyou of the Eleventh Column to actively launch a night battle against the Japanese army, and fight harder and harder
The better, entangle the Japanese army so that it cannot retreat, and cover our main force moving towards Changchun.
Liu Yimin ordered the field hospitals of each column to transfer all the seriously wounded to the Dongzhong Field Hospital in Taonan for continued treatment, and the lightly wounded to Taonan and Baicheng local hospitals for treatment. He ordered Chen Tong and Ni Hua to organize a capable advance medical team to rush there quickly.
Come to the headquarters and go out with the army.
After finishing all this, Liu Yimin took a bite of dry food mixed with chili pepper water, and then ordered the army to march eastward.
At this time, the city of Changchun was still heating, the moonlight was cold, and the early spring wind was also cold and thin. The main force of the Northeast People's Anti-Japanese Democratic Alliance Army marched eastward overnight after finishing the Songliao Battle. A column of military columns set off from Baicheng Station, and the locomotive
The rails illuminated by the car lights are bright; a vertical mechanized cluster
The tanks, armored vehicles, cars, and motorcycles of the regiment also turned on their lights and marched along the road from Baicheng to Changchun. The cavalry group commanded by Hu Laohu carried torches and galloped on the road to Changchun. Artillery and air defense
The artillery soldiers of the first brigade were sitting on the artillery carriage, and they were also heading east.
Zhao Xiaoman led the art troupe members to promote the event at the train station and along the highway.
After the great victory, everyone was in a happy mood. The members of the art troupe played allegro happily, and the soldiers from the passing army cheered loudly. For a time, there was a burst of joy at the station and along the highway.
Liu Yimin left relatively late. He was waiting for the troops of the Fourth, Fifth and Seventh Columns.
They successively eliminated the Japanese Sixth Army and the Fifth Army. Although our army's artillery fire was fierce and destroyed a large number of Japanese vehicles, the 23rd Division of the Sixth Army was a mechanized division, and the Fifth Army had many vehicles and horses.
, our army seized a large number of tanks, armored vehicles, and cars,
In addition to the military columns of the Japanese Fifth Army returning from Aershan, our army's transportation capacity has been unprecedentedly improved. Under Luo Ronghuan's unified deployment, all three columns rode in military columns, and the first column and the heavy machine gun brigade rode in
All the original vehicles, seized armored vehicles, and cars of the column were used for
The fourth column was transported, and the fifth column rode on all the army's glue carts and pack horses. The seventh column waited in Baicheng for the returning military column to be shipped. As a result, the first column and the third column carried forward the style, and the tank turrets of the first column were all sitting on them.
Soldiers and cars are all fully loaded, saving 200 cars. Three
The train was crowded with people, so they managed to save three trains. Now, Chen Dayong was unwilling to wait in Baicheng. Three trains transported part of it, 200 cars transported part of it, and the rest of the troops were all on foot.
, walking while waiting for the returning military column and car to pick him up.
Liu Yimin stood by the road and waited until Chen Dayong caught up with him on horseback and asked about the casualties of the troops. Then he saluted him and said goodbye. Together with Luo Ronghuan and Ye Ting, he got into the car and led the personnel of the First Guard Battalion and the Eastern General Headquarters to greet him.
Drive east!
The wheels are rolling, the iron flow is heading east, and the majestic Northeast People's Anti-Japanese Democratic Alliance Army is heading east!
