Those who have some understanding of the revolutionary contingent will know that it is not easy to establish the revolutionary contingent, and in the subsequent development process, various problems have also been encountered, so that the revolutionary contingent has always been in a weak state in terms of total strength, which is why there are many battles in which fewer victories have occurred in wars. Many generals have experienced this kind of unequal military battle, and Han Xianchu is no exception, he has also experienced unequal battles, and at the same time is faced with the key choice of whether to fight or withdraw.
At that time, Han Xianchuchu, as the deputy commander of the Fourth Column, led the 10th Division to Xinkailing to fight against the Kuomintang here, but soon after he arrived, Hu Qicai, the commander of the Fourth Column, briefly analyzed the situation he was facing at that time. It turned out that the 52nd Army 25 deployed by the Kuomintang here at that time was equipped with the most sophisticated American weapons, and the 75th Regiment was also included in the 52nd Army in the future. The 75th Regiment will be suddenly built, mainly because Saimaji is occupied by the four columns, and when the situation is unfavorable, it hopes to increase the number of troops.
In this way, the 25 th Division led by Li Zhengyi will have nearly an entire division's strength, while the Fourth Column had only 16,000 men at that time, and it was still in a relatively backward state in terms of equipment. In this regard, Han Xianchu said that if all wars have to gather enough troops to fight again, then how many battles are still to be fought, and even lose the opportunity because of this. Even if the troops are insufficient, if the terrain is favorable, it is possible to win the war with the combination of tactics and overwhelming superiority in artillery fire.
What's more, the original battle was mainly to fight a war of annihilation, and I believe that this battle will definitely be won, under the analysis of Han Xianchu's situation, Hu Qicai is more confident in this battle, and then the four columns began to assemble in the periphery of Lao Yeling, looking for a suitable time to start a war. Later, Hu Qicai analyzed the enemy situation at that time, saying that under the attack of the Kuomintang, the Fourth Column had lost contact with other teams, and the enemy's attack was coming from three directions.
In this case, it is necessary to make a decision as soon as possible, and the next step is to fight or withdraw, and it is necessary to prepare in advance, and some generals think that they should retreat at this time, after all, there has been a situation that cannot be attacked for a long time, and Han Xianchu once again put forward the idea of opposing retreat. It is normal to say that it will cause casualties when encountering difficulties, and the enemy army is also facing a dilemma, at this time the 25th Division has been found half dead, if it withdraws at this time, it will give the 25th Division a chance to breathe, then the previous sacrifices will be wasted, and it will be more difficult to fight in the future.
Han Xianchu said that the situation of the Kuomintang at this time is not optimistic, the two sides are in a state of stalemate, even if they retreat, they cannot withdraw all their forces, rather than so, it is better to insist on blocking for another day, then it is possible to take Lao Yeling, then you can grasp the initiative on the battlefield, Han Xianchu's words, so that the team is more confident, and then insist on fighting with the enemy. And also adjusted the tactics, concentrated artillery and mortars, launched an attack on the enemy troops on the top of the Laoye Ridge Mountain, and finally took the commanding heights of the Laoye under the sudden death of the artillery attack.
Then Han Xianchu ordered another attack on Li Zhengyi's headquarters, and all the artillery fire was attacking Li Zhengyi's headquarters, and finally the headquarters of the 25th Division was razed to the ground, and the remnants of the force could only flee in all directions. At this time, the Kuomintang reinforcements, after learning that the 25th Division had been completely annihilated, were also frightened and did not dare to take a step forward.
