In a relatively spacious bungalow in the north of the village, the police, Luo Rongheng, and the others hadn't had time to stretch their tired and sleepy waists when Liu Yalou rushed in. **、Luo Rongheng saw the telegram in his hand and gestured for Liu Yalou to quickly read the contents of the telegram.
This was a military and political call. Liu Yalou read it word by word rhythmically,"" Lin, Luo: Jiang had already noticed your plan. Apart from ordering Wei Lihuang to quickly organize the Westward Army to reinforce Jinzhou at any time, he also gathered four divisions from Shandong and Huabei to advance toward Huludao and Jinxi by land and water.”
"Ah! If Jiang Jieshi really wants to have a decisive battle with us in Jinzhou, that's great!”Luo Rongheng said excitedly.
"That's exactly what we want." Liu Yalou nodded repeatedly, then he handed the telegram to the police. ** He quickly read through it, and doubts and worries arose in his heart again.
Luo Rongheng said,"The leader wants us to concentrate on the Jin-Tang line and ignore Shen and Chang. He especially wants us to close the back door of Yingkou to prevent the enemy from escaping through the back door."”** He continued," This is exactly what the leader wants us to fight an unprecedented war of annihilation. This determination cannot be shaken at all, but we must seriously consider it.”Then, she stood up and paced back and forth. Luo Rongheng and Liu Yalou allowed their hearts to follow the rhythm of their footsteps. They all felt that this was related to the early victory of the revolution in China and the solemn moment of defeating the Guomindang! When he returned to Changchun, he had betrayed the instructions of his superiors. To Jinzhou, I am afraid that in Jinzhou for a long time, by the attack, all previous efforts will be wasted. This is the time for our Northeast People's Liberation Army's commander and political commissar to make the final decision! The eyes of the entire army were fixed on the two commanders who were strategizing.
After a while, he drafted a telegram draft without asking Luo Rongheng's opinion and sent it to the government.
That night, the government sent an urgent telegram with four "A" s to the military: "After receiving news from the new 5th division and the 95th division, we were studying the situation and considering our actions tonight. It was estimated that when attacking Jinzhou, although the eight divisions defending the enemy were not strong, it would take some time to completely resolve the battle. Before the battle was resolved, the enemy would leave one or two divisions in the Huludao area of Jinxi, draw out the 54th Army, the 95th Division, and other five or six divisions, and take group action to advance to Jinzhou. Our resistance troops may not be able to block the enemy, and the enemy may join up with the defending enemy.
"The gap between the enemy's positions between the two brocades is only fifty to sixty li, there is no gap to be explored. If Jinzhou could be quickly taken down, then it would be better to attack Jinzhou to save the troops from delaying time. The enemy in Changchun has been besieged by us for several months. We have taken in about 18,000 deserters and wiped out more than 5,000 enemy troops in the peripheral battles. It was estimated that there were about 80,000 people defending Changchun, and their morale must be very low. After several months of replenishment, our army has been greatly strengthened in both quantity and quality. Therefore, if we attack Changchun now, we are much more confident than when we were preparing to attack Changchun in June. However, he would have to delay it for another half a month to twenty days. We are currently considering the two plans. He also asked the military and government to consider and give instructions at the same time.”
Hesitation in front of a battle was a great taboo for military strategists.
On the morning of October 3rd, Lin Luoliu continued to study the battle plan. Luo Rongheng thought about it again and again and felt that it was inappropriate to return to attack Changchun. He asked the police.
Luo Rongheng said," The central government has repeatedly issued orders to attack Jinzhou. Now, hundreds of thousands of troops have been pulled to western Liaoning. The periphery of Jinzhou has been cleared. The fighting spirit of the troops is high. If they suddenly stop fighting, what will the officers and soldiers think? How do we explain this to the central government? The plan to attack Jinzhou had been approved by the Central Military and Political Bureau and the Mao leaders. The leader wants us to fight a war of annihilation that we have never fought before. Our determination cannot be shaken.”
The police were silent.
Luo Rongheng still said patiently," Commander, the enemy situation has not changed much. Returning to attack Changchun will affect the entire battle situation. I think the military and government will not agree.”
"Chief of Staff, what's your opinion?"”
Liu Yalou said,"It's better to attack Jinzhou."”
After thinking for a while, he called his secretary over and asked him to retrieve the telegram. The secretary came back to report that the telegram had been sent.
"What should I do?" Liu Yalou asked.
The police didn't say anything.
Luo Rongheng said,"Don't wait for the military and government to call back. Restate your stance and show that we still want to attack Jinzhou."”** He nodded. He refused to write, and Liu Yalou asked Luo Rongheng to preside over the drafting of the draft. After some discussion, they finished writing the draft. When they read it, they only crossed out the words "previous call invalid" and sent it out in the name of Lin, Luo, and Liu.
The message said:
"(1) We plan to continue attacking Jinzhou. As long as we are fully prepared and launch a general attack, there is still a possibility of annihilating Jin Di. At the very least, they could annihilate one or a large portion of the enemy. At present, if we turn back to attack Changchun, it will take too much time. Even if we don't attack Changchun, the enemy will automatically break through. We can recover Changchun and wipe out a part of the enemy.
(2) We plan to adopt the following arrangements: With the 4th and 11th columns and the two independent divisions of Jehe to deal with the two enemy divisions on Jinxi Huludao, with the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 7th, 8th, and 9th columns to attack Jinzhou; 5, 6, 10, 12, a total of four columns to deal with the enemy reinforcements in Shenyang; He would use the nine independent divisions, big, small, new, and old, to deal with the enemy that broke out of Changchun.
(3) It is estimated that the enemy's 95th Division and the new 5th Army are very fast by sea. Our army may not be able to attack Jinzhou before the enemy arrives. However, the enemy in Mukden will not send reinforcements before our army officially attacks Jinshi. Thus, there is no need for our army to be overly busy. On the one hand, we will mobilize as many troops as possible so that we can begin the general attack as soon as possible. At the same time, the victory of this battle will depend greatly on the arrival of our siege troops. We will carry out sufficient reconnaissance arrangements and political mobilization, and then use a strong attack to quickly end the battle. The main objective of this battle was to annihilate the enemy. After Jinzhou is captured, it is possible that, like Kaifeng, the enemy will reoccupy Jinzhou from both sides, because our reinforcements can only delay the enemy, but it is impossible to destroy the enemy. The enemy would rather abandon Mukden than preserve and restore Jinzhou.
(4) I hope the military and government will consider and give instructions on the above suggestions.”
