Han Xianchu, commander of the People's Liberation Army, received an order that Meihekou's geographical position is very important, and it is an important stronghold to communicate with South Manchuria and North Manchuria, and it is necessary to conquer Meihekou.
However, the old rival 184 Division stationed here is very tenacious, holding a mortal mentality to resist attacks again and again.
The resistance of the old rival made our army very headache, but Lin Biao, commander-in-chief of the Northeast Field Army, sent a telegram warning Han Xianchu that this army must be eliminated and no other tactics should be adopted, so be careful!
Han Xianchu laughed after receiving the newspaper, and Lin commanded that this was the real feud! But I haven't forgotten the painful lesson of that year!
It is mentioned that 184 Division dates back to the first few years in War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression. 184 Division was founded by Long Yun, a warlord in Yunnan, and was subordinate to Ceng Zesheng, commander of the 60th Army. This army has played a great role in the frontal battlefield of War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression.
After the Lugouqiao Incident, the Japanese army launched a full-scale war of aggression against China. Soldiers from the 60th Army184th Division enthusiastically signed up for the front line and fought bravely to kill the enemy.
1938 60 Army also participated in the Battle of Taierzhuang. The 60th Army, with high morale, shouted the slogan of "Defending China", stuck to Taierzhuang and resisted the Japanese attack in turn. At this critical moment, Kuomintang general Tang fled first, leaving no generals in the army, leaving the 60 th Army coming from afar to face the Japanese army alone.
At this point, the 60th Army General Zhang Chong personally led184th Division to the front to resist the Japanese army. Encouraged by this, 182 and 183 divisions joined the battlefield one after another.
The Japanese army sent two ace divisions, Sakahara and Iwatani, and the 184 division fought fiercely with the enemy for more than 20 days, causing numerous casualties. Among them, a brigade commander, five heads and several battalion commanders were killed, and Pan Shuoduan was seriously injured in the group battle.
184 division played an important role in the battle of taierzhuang, and wiped out more than 3000 enemies at the cost of 1000 people, which should be a first-class merit. The Soviet Union also spoke highly of 184 Division: "If you have 30 well-equipped and excellent divisions like this, you can fight the Japanese."
But they were not Chiang Kai-shek's own troops, so they didn't get the reward they deserved. Moreover, Chiang Kai-shek saw that this local army was so good at fighting, but it could not be used for itself, so he had a bad idea.
So Chiang Kai-shek ordered the sixty troops returning from the front line in southern Shandong to go to Wuhan immediately to fight against the Japanese army. Chiang Kai-shek ordered the 60th Army to obey his command and appointed Zhang Chong as the commander of the new three armies of the Yunnan Army. The 60th Army, the New Third Army and the 58th Army fought together.
But after the fighting started, Chiang Kai-shek ordered his troops to retreat, leaving the 60th Army184th Division and the New Third Army to face the Japanese army alone. 184 division was outnumbered and suffered heavy losses, leaving only the establishment. Zhang Chong also lost many soldiers because he was not familiar with the battlefield and troops. He was imprisoned by Chiang Kai-shek on the pretext of "not participating in the war according to the operational plan".
184 division and a group of Yunnan army generals were very dissatisfied with Chiang Kai-shek and no longer obeyed his orders.
But Chiang Kai-shek saw that he and the 60 th Army were torn, so he simply incorporated them. He transferred the main forces of the Yunnan army to Guangxi, making the Yunnan base camp empty and giving Chiang Kai-shek an opportunity.
1940, the Japanese army attacked Vietnam and threatened Yunnan. Long Yun quickly sent a telegram asking Chiang Kai-shek to transfer back to the Dian army, but Chiang Kai-shek only agreed to transfer back to the 60th brigade of 184 division commander. He also sent his own army to Yunnan to control Yunnan. Also changed the generals of the Yunnan army, bribed them, and did not limit their achievements.
Since then, he also appointed Pan Shuoduan, the former head of the regiment, as the division commander of 184. After he took office, he ordered Li Wenbin to detain him at the Hongmen banquet, and then transferred him to the village under the pretext of "training and consolidation" and no longer appointed him.
After War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, he ordered Du to launch a sneak attack while the Dian army was unprepared, and put Long Yun under house arrest in Chongqing. This made the Yunnan army very angry. However, in order to prevent the rebellion of the Yunnan army, Chiang Kai-shek reorganized the Yunnan army into six divisions of two armies and transferred it to the northeast battlefield.
Chiang Kai-shek, still worried about the Dian army, ordered spies to infiltrate the 184 division and sent two major generals to the division headquarters. Major General is equipped with a secret radio station, which reports directly to Chiang Kai-shek.
1946, the Northeast People's Liberation Army launched an attack, and "Cyclone General" Han Xianchu targeted Haicheng at the southern end of the long-term line. 184 division is the Yunnan army, which is not valued by Chiang Kai-shek and is easier to break through than other troops. Han Xianchu used feint tactics to trick Pan Shuoduan into leaving, while the People's Liberation Army stormed Haicheng and the Yunnan Army was defeated. Ask Du for help, but reinforcements didn't arrive, which led to the failure of the war.
Han Xianchu also inquired about the contradiction between the Yunnan army and Chiang Kai-shek through prisoners. He attacked Haicheng, found a captured horse battalion commander and sent a letter of surrender to Pan Shuoduan.
Pan Shuoduan saw that the tide was gone, and Chiang Kai-shek would never support them from beginning to end, so he had to agree to the terms of surrender. Pan Shuoduan arrested the spy, destroyed the radio station, laid down his weapon and opened the door to welcome the PLA.
After that, Han Xianchu sent people to Dashiqiao with Pan Shuoduan's letter to persuade the local 55 1 regiment to revolt. The colonel pretended to promise, but deliberately delayed the time. He secretly received orders from Du and became a teacher in the performance department. He deliberately delayed time, waiting for reinforcements to arrive. Han Xianchu saw through his plot and wiped them all out.
After hearing the news of the uprising, Commander-in-Chief Zhu De sent a telegram to 184 Division, saying that they were "unveiling the banner of peace and showing the honor of the Yunnan army".
The People's Liberation Army gave the 184 division enough respect and materials, and gave them all the things they could not bear to use or wear. Haicheng Uprising was the first organized uprising of the Kuomintang, which shocked the national army. The People's Liberation Army has not dispersed them into the army, but has organized their entire army into a "democratic allied army" and exists as an allied army.
It's just that this unit has a group of baiwenhang, which makes this transformation fail.
After the surrender of 184 division, half of the people defected to the revolution in one mission.
It turned out that the preferential treatment of the People's Liberation Army did not impress the Yunnan army, but made them feel that this was a matter of course. We gave them rice and new clothes, but they were ungrateful.
There are many officers in these uprising troops, with more than 400 people. They used to be pampered, but now the conditions make them complain all the time. They also say that the PLA treats them in Du Like and Yu Ming. They also loaf around all day, gambling and smoking, but they just don't do what soldiers should do. They often get angry and say, "If you come to produce the Party, you won't be promoted and made a fortune."
They pretend to learn our knowledge of Marxism-Leninism, pretend to make progress and change their minds. In fact, they are still secretly eavesdropping on Kuomintang broadcasts, preparing for rebellion.
1946 5438+00 In June, the Kuomintang attacked Nanman on a large scale, and our army was ready to abandon Tonghua and move to Linjiang. At this time, some of them thought that the time was ripe and were ready to defect. The leader is Yang Chaolun, deputy division commander of 184 Division.
Yang Chaolun should have been put to death, but his teacher Pan Shuoduan insisted that he stay. He graduated from Wujiang Guild Hall in Yunnan, and his thoughts are very stubborn. He has been pretending to surrender, but in fact he is rejecting the ideal of * * * and looking for opportunities to flee.
When this opportunity came, he immediately prepared an escape plan. He also tried to persuade Pan Shuoduan, but Mr. Pan flatly refused. He has to consult with others. The People's Liberation Army ordered the184th Division to leave the Shiren Mine Station, where Yang Chaolun decided to take action.
At 1 1 pm, everyone is resting. Suddenly, the horn sounded outside the car, and the mutinous officers and men got off the bus one after another, which caught the PLA off guard. More than 1000 people fled, including Yang Chaolun, deputy commander and two heads. Only half of the 184 division was left, and the PLA sent them to the Beiman base area and reorganized them into the Northeast Democratic Allied Forces.
Du reorganized the defected officers and soldiers, formed a new 184 division, and appointed Yang Chaolun as the deputy division commander. Chiang Kai-shek also told him to "be lenient and not pursue it." He felt that he was "like a spring breeze" and completely forgot the original embarrassment and the preferential treatment of the People's Liberation Army.
The defection had a bad influence. The people's liberation army realized that the mode of transformation should be changed, and it could not show mercy to the unrepentant enemy. But the PLA is bound to punish the newly formed 184 division!
In this battle of Meihekou, the PLA confronted its old rival 184 Division head-on, and they were ready to make new enemies and old ones, and the whole army was wiped out. Du just caught the184th division that betrayed the PLA, so he asked them to guard the strategic position of Meihekou. They will certainly resist desperately, just to resist the attack of the PLA.
Lin Biao was also afraid of Han Xianchu's indecision, so he sent a telegram to tell Nanman troops: "Anyone who started fighting in 184 Division will be resolutely annihilated. Don't accept an uprising without disarmament. " This means not accepting their surrender, but destroying them. Han Xianchu certainly won't forget these traitors. He intends to take Meihekou and capture Yang Chaolun alive.
However, Meihekou is easy to defend but difficult to attack, and several attacks launched by our army have no effect and suffered heavy losses. After studying the map carefully, Han Xianchu found that the railway station was easy to break through. He immediately asked the 30 th regiment to attack and was equipped with artillery support. However, the enemy knew that there was no retreat and fought to the death. There are only 400 people left in the 30 th regiment. When the troops of the 29th regiment arrived and occupied the railway station, the head of the regiment was still commanding them.
The People's Liberation Army broke through the enemy's fire and broke into the enemy's defense line by penetrating the walls of houses. Finally, our army launched a life-and-death hand-to-hand combat with the enemy and wiped out all the enemies! But Yang Chaolun ran away.
After that, the184th Division was rebuilt three times, each time it was destroyed by our army and rebuilt, so it was called invincible Xiao Qiang. A veteran of the four fields was very helpless, saying that 184 had a lot of lives, and he could not die every time he played several times. Finally, in 1942, Lu Han, Chairman of Yunnan Province, rebuilt184th Division for the fifth time. He led the troops to revolt, and the uprising troops did not mutiny this time and accepted the reorganization.
It turned out that Yang Chaolun, the leader of the rebel army, was captured by our army in the battle of Tianjin, but our army did not shoot him for the purpose of wooing the Yunnan army. He later fled back to Yunnan and set up a bandit team in the mountains to fight the * * * production party. At this time, Yunnan has been liberated, and he was isolated and quickly eliminated. He was sentenced to death by Pan Shuoduan, then the mayor of Kunming and his teacher. This ends the division of 184.
184 teacher finally gave himself a good ending. Apart from the rebel fighters among them, they have made great contributions to War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression. Only then did not pay attention to its own purity construction, resulting in uneven personnel and continuous follow-up incidents. Through this defection, our army learned a lesson and won the victory without making a second mistake in the same place.
