In November 1948, the Seventh Corps led by the famous Kuomintang general Huang Baitao was surrounded by the People's Liberation Army at Nianzhuangwei, and 120,000 horses fell into a situation of sitting still.
Huang Baitao had no choice but to ask Liu Zhi, the commander-in-chief of the "Suppression Commandment" who was sitting in Xuzhou, for help, but Liu Zhi did not expect that Liu Zhi thought that this was Huang's exaggeration of the enemy's situation and passive cowardice, and not only ignored it, but also withdrew Huang Baitao's left-wing Li Mi Corps to the west of Daxu's home and screened Xuzhou.
Poor Huang Baitao could not withdraw to the west, but lost the left wing. Worse still, he knew nothing about the retreat of the left-wing Lee Corps.
Huang Baitao no longer made any suggestions and demands to Liu Zhi, but instead pinned his hopes on Li Yannian, the commander of the Third Corps.
Unexpectedly, Li Yannian did not appear, but Lieutenant General Guo Yiyu, director of the Xuzhou "Suppression General" Office, drove to him.
Guo Yiyu got out of the car, and the spring breeze greeted Huang Baitao with a face, gave a military salute formally and freely, held Huang Baitao's outstretched hand, and walked into the house with a giggle.
"Brother, I am finally looking forward to your savior!" When Huang Baitao saw Guo Yiyu, he seemed to grasp a life-saving straw.
"Still acting according to the boss's plan, no latest news, no exclusive news."
"No change?" Huang Baitao was extremely disappointed and suddenly discouraged.
"Nothing has changed."
"Then why are the Seventh Corps not allowed to move?"
"Pick up the Ninth Sui District!"
"Stupid, stupid to the extreme!"
Huang Baitao couldn't figure out why everyone thought he should be stupid and wait for the Ninth Sui District, and he said indignantly: "The enemy has rushed over to Hexi, and I am still in Hedong, tying up four armies for one army." Who in the world would do such a stupid thing except me! Ji Gong (Li Yannian Zi Ji Fu) is delayed, and we are not sure to transfer in the cracks. ”
"Huan Ran (Huang Baitao) Brother Huan Ran is worried, Ji Gong is no longer late than today, is it a day's work, the sky will fall?"
"No, the communist army is taking Xuzhou, but the spearhead is coming from me." Several times I reported upwards, but no one paid any attention to it, but I was afraid of the enemy and timid, and I was alarmist. Now, the enemy has copied the bread from the north, southeast, and bread. Just by beating the wall to the west, the Seventh Corps became a lone army. Huang Baitao pointed to the map, "I can't see this situation, I don't believe your brother can't see it either." ”
Guo Yiyu glanced at the map, remembering the situation and opinions that Huang Baitao had spoken about many times, and his heart also began to be uneasy.
For him, what surprised him was not that there was any danger to the Seventh Corps, but that the overall strategy of the Xuzhou side was so far from the actual battle, and it would suffer a major setback if it went on like this.
However, when the sky fell, there was a big man on top of him, and he Guo Yiyu didn't have to worry about this idleness.
So he relaxed his heart again and said in a relaxed tone, "Don't create a tense air, your brother's face has scared the whole headquarters into silence." The comers are not good, but they want to fight your idea, eat the Seventh Legion, I worry for them, the appetite is not good, the snake wants to swallow the elephant? yes? Hahahahaha..."
Without stopping laughing, Guo Yiyu turned and went to the courtyard and mingled with the officers of the headquarters.
The headquarters was set up in a courtyard, and Guo Yiyu was chatting with the people who had gathered, and suddenly pointed his finger at the big tree in the middle of the courtyard, pretending to be surprised and asking: "Oh, why hasn't this big tree cut it down yet?" ”
People were puzzled for a moment, guessing that he was going to do something ghostly again, and asked, "Why should a good big tree be cut down? ”
"Alas—" Guo Yiyu drew a comparison, "when you open your eyes, this courtyard is boxy, and there is a wood in the middle of the square grid, isn't it a 'sleepy' word!" The word 'sleepy' is taboo in the army, and removing the 'wood' has become a strict and solid phalanx, which is exactly in line with the 'regimental tactics' advocated by your commander Huang. ”
The speaker had no intention of listening to the heart, and he did not know who had summoned a few soldiers, seven hands and eight feet, and in a burst of work cut down the big tree and carried it away, and the courtyard immediately lit up.
At this time, a person hurriedly walked in from outside, a small man, a black and thin face, shaking his head while walking: "Unlucky, too unlucky!" ”
Guo Yiyu recognized that it was Chen Zhang, the newly promoted commander of the Sixty-third Army, so he went forward to grab Chen Zhang's arm and said, "Chen Zhang, are you so bold, do you want to sell words in front of the saints?" What auspicious and unlucky nonsense? ”
Chen Zhang broke free of Guo Yiyu's hand and said with concern: "As we all know, cutting down trees is called 'cutting down trees', 'cutting down trees' is 'lack of skill', let's talk about it, how to fight this battle when there is lack of skill?" ”
The crowd really let him scare him at once, Guo Yiyu saw that the situation was not good, his eyes turned a few times, and he immediately had a plan.
He didn't hurry and mysteriously looked around Chen Zhang, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Okay! Yesterday the promotion of the commander, today will be long insight, I can't see that you old Guang still have two sons, but unfortunately the road is shallow. Let me ask you, what is the name of your commander? ”
"Huang Baitao, didn't you ask this knowingly?"
"That's right!" Guo Yiyu pulled up a strange voice and said, "Jiang Taigong assisted the King of Zhou to seal Wang Pingtianxia, and he only used "LiuTao", and how many Tao did your commander have?" Baitao! Will there be no skill in the chest? I only know one of them and do not know the second, or I still worship the saints and see them well. ”
In a burst of laughter, Guo Yiyu boarded the car and walked away. Huang Baitao waited for the "savior" so he cut down a tree and slipped away.
"Cutting down trees? Lack of skill! Chen Zhang ignored Guo Yiyu's sophistry, and just chanted this voice in his heart that he thought was the most ominous.
In the end, Guo Yiyu's hasty coming and going could not save the fate of the Seventh Corps being completely annihilated by the East China Field Army and Huang Baitao's army being defeated and committing suicide.
