On January 11, 1946, Su Yu launched the battle of the eastern section of the Longhai Line. Through this battle, the Japanese and puppet strongholds in the eastern section of the Longhai Line were removed.
Those who do not plan for the whole world are not enough to plan for a moment, and those who do not plan for the overall situation are not enough to plan for a certain area. The Shaobo Battle of Gaoyou ensured that central China was not divided, while the eastern section of Longhai Line opened up the transportation line between central China and Shandong, and the two major strategic areas were thus connected.
Su Yu has already set the battlefield for the large-scale combat. He said: "If the enemy attacks Longhai Line in large quantities, our army can defend one front and put the main force on both sides."
Speaking of this, he hugged his hands and made a killing move: "Strike both sides and destroy it!"
Since April 1946, the domestic situation has become tense. Under the command of the commander of the first Pacification Zone, Li Mo'an , the southern part of the Suzhong gathered five reorganized divisions of the Kuomintang and planned to launch the Su-Anhui Battle. Their first goal was to capture Su-zhong and northern Jiangsu.
None of these troops took Su Yu seriously. The commander of the 83rd Division of the reorganized Li Tianxia patted his chest and said to Li Mo'an: "My troops have no problem. One regiment can work with the Communist Army."
Most of the five reorganized divisions have no experience in fighting with the "Communist Army". Li Tianxia is an old subordinate of Wang Yaowu . He has fought with the "Communist Army", but that was to fight with the anti-Japanese advance team with Wang Yaowu northward. Of course, he would not think that Su Yu was so powerful, and his past defeated generals.
Only their coach is still more cautious.
Li Tianxia is in the third phase of Huangpu, and Li Mo'an is in the first phase of Huangpu. In other words, when Li Mo'an showed his dew, it was the heyday of the development of Soviet area . He had already seen and experienced in advance how the opponent's combat level was.
Li Mo'an warned the generals: "The Communist army has always been flexible and maneuverable in combat. Jiangbei Su Yu has been occupying Suzhong for a long time and is familiar with the terrain. This attack must not be careless."
Although this is said, Li Mo'an himself was actually a little blindly optimistic.
reorganized division plus other cooperative troops, its total strength reached 120,000, and the five reorganized divisions are all the main forces of the Kuomintang. Compared with the past Han Dequan and Gu Zhu and the 3 units of , it can be said that it is not on the same level.
So many people, such a good weapon and such strong combat effectiveness, it should be no problem to deal with the "Communist Army".
Without conducting in-depth reconnaissance on Su Yu's troops, Li Mo'an formulated a combat plan and determined the attack time as July 13.
What Li Mo'an thought of was that just the day before the attack was about to be launched, Chiang Kai-shek personally called him and asked him to suspend the attack.
The reason is that it is leaked.
Su Yu built a technical reconnaissance team code-named "Fourth Squadron" in the Huaye Command. This team mastered the high-tech radio means under the conditions at that time and could reconnaise and decipher various important secret orders of the enemy. Together with the underground party, they formed an efficient and fast intelligence processing network, which is called "Qianliyan, Shunfenger " by Su Yu.
Li Mo'an set the time and deployment on July 9, Su Yu knew about it the next day, and on the third day, the US special envoy Marshall also knew about it.
Marshall was mediating the Kuomintang and the Communist Party. He immediately went to see Chiang Kai-shek: "I know you are going to attack Suzhong. Is there anything wrong?"
Chiang Kai-shek was still pretending to be stupid. Marshall took out a document on the spot. When Chiang Kai-shek saw that it was Li Mo'an's mimeographed combat plan, he immediately stood there.
