At that time, the East China Field Army had 16 columns, including the main column 1 to 13 (no five columns), Bohai column, Lunan column, Guangdong and Guangxi column and special forces column (heavy artillery and tanks). At the same time, he commanded the 1 1 column of the Central Plains Field Army and some local armed forces. After the curtain of Huaihai Campaign was opened on June 6th, the first stage of the campaign was to annihilate the Yellow Corps, which contracted from Xin 'an Town to Xuzhou.
What about Chiang Kai-shek's? Xuzhou suppression general? Herry Liu, commander in chief, was confused by the actions of my two field armies in all directions. He wanted to solve the problem of Huang Zhi and was afraid of losing Xuzhou, but he didn't make any effective response for three whole days. Until 165438+ 10/01,Du Cai was ordered to come back and decided to move eastward with Qiu Qingquan and other reinforcements, while Hua Ye somewhat despised the Yellow Corps at the beginning of the campaign. After three days of fighting, there was no substantial progress, and the situation on the battlefield suddenly became tense.
Hua Ye pointed out that it is necessary to immediately adjust the deployment according to the changes in the enemy's situation: focus on the fourth, sixth, eighth, ninth and thirteenth columns and resolutely annihilate the Yellow Corps; Take the seventh, tenth and eleventh columns of Shandong Corps as the sniper group, occupy Lintong Mountain and Daxujia positions, and resolutely stop Qiu Li's two corps from aiding the enemy; Two independent brigades, the second column, the twelfth column, the eleventh column of Nakano, the south-central column of Shandong Province and the Subei Corps, were used as the interpenetrating group, and they made a detour to Pantang, east of Xuzhou, with the intention of cutting off the retreat of Qiu and Li Corps, and then they were eliminated together with the Shandong Corps, with the first column as the general reserve.
Explain that at that time, the third column of Hua Ye and the Guangdong-Guangxi column were cooperating with the Central Plains Field Army, and the Bohai column had not yet moved south, so the 14 column (including Nakano 1 1 column) directly commanded by the East China Field Army had all been put into battle. Six of the columns were commanded by Chen Shiju? Panic in the war? , that is, in the shortest possible time to eliminate Nianzhuang Yellow Corps, three columns in Xu Dong under the unified command of the Song Dynasty? Stop the war? Determined not to let the two enemies merge, Wei Guoqing led four columns to flank the two regiments behind Qiu Li, and the wild division directly grasped the first column for maneuvering.
Nianzhuang panic in the war and Xu Dong blockade war are very hard. Hua Ye wiped out Huang's four armies with five infantry columns, and did not have much advantage in strength. By the end of the war, it was 165438+ 10/8. Although the Yellow Army lost more than half of its troops, it persisted in fighting. Song's three columns of reinforcements also suffered heavy casualties under the crazy attack of Qiu Qingquan and Ho. However, the Subei Corps, which was in charge of circuitous roads, ran into the enemy in Pantang in the middle of the night of 1 15 10.
It turned out that Du found that Qiu Qingquan had just stormed head-on, with huge casualties but slow progress, so he decided to send the 74th Army of the Reserve to detour to the rear of Shandong Corps, and the selected passing point was Pantang Town, so he joined the striker of the second column of Subei Corps, and the two sides immediately started fighting on the March? Encounter? . The Second Hua Ye Army quickly defeated the rebuilt 74th Army, forcing it to retreat into the town and stick to it. However, Du dispatched seventy troops with chariots to reinforce, and the encounter became a stalemate.
