From 1948 to 65438+February, Du's regiment and national army were caught in a dilemma in the encirclement of the People's Liberation Army. Since they withdrew from Xuzhou on 1654381October 30th, they have been marching in chaos and exhausted.

The 65438 +03 Corps, the Second Corps of Qiu Qingquan, the 65438 +06 Corps of Sun, and the three corps of * * *, together with refugees and students, almost 300,000 people crowded with each other to March. 12 On February 3, Du Zaiqinglong ordered a day off, which was the day, giving the PLA a chance to catch up with the siege. After that, the Kuomintang army failed to break through and spent a difficult month in Chen Guanzhuang.

12 On February 4th and 5th, Du Tuan attacked Suixikou according to Chiang Kai-shek's orders. Qiu Qingquan charged in front, and our army encountered layers of snipers, while Sun and Sun were behind. The pursued army is losing ground and is about to be surrounded.

National Army in Huaihai Campaign

On the 6th, Du called Qiu Qingquan and Sun for a meeting to study the breakthrough. Qiu Qingquan and Sun agreed to break through, but remained silent. After careful consideration, Du decided to break through and told all the troops not to abandon heavy weapons unless absolutely necessary. Otherwise, "How can I see the old man?" .

After the meeting, the commanders of several regiments disagreed. When Li Mi and Qiu Qingquan returned home, they had a meeting with the following commanders and teachers. They all thought it was too difficult to break through in a decentralized way, so they discussed with Du to postpone the breakthrough.

Sun Liangyuan, a "flying general" who is famous for his escape, really escaped. His 16 Corps has only two Sichuan Army units, the 4 1 Army and the 47 Army. The strength is only 30,000 to 40,000, and the combat effectiveness is not strong but relatively United. After the meeting, he went back to arrange a breakthrough, saying it was an arrangement, just a notice. There is no reconnaissance, and there is no order for the troops to break through. In order to run fast, he ran to the 47th Army125th Division in a chariot, and ordered to cut off all telephone lines and turn off the radio to prevent Du from calling him back.

People's Liberation Army in battle

At 20 o'clock on the evening of the 6th, the artillery of 16 Corps bombed indiscriminately, then destroyed heavy weapons such as artillery and began to break through. Qiu Qingquan, Du Bao, and Sun Zi broke through heavily. Du called Sun and told him to go back. Naturally, I can't get through He knows General Fei's virtue. Du told Qiu Qingquan and He that if Sun ran away, they would follow him. If he can't get out, there is no need to worry about him. Qiu and Li's reserve team took Sun's place, and everyone continued to hold on.

Sun thought that he had got rid of the army and could escape lightly. But because the plan was chaotic, he was desperate. His troops first plunged into the defense line of the Second Corps and were shot by the 200 th Division of the Second Corps as the People's Liberation Army. It took a long time to convince the opponent that he was a national army.

The enemy didn't go far before they met the real People's Liberation Army. The PLA won't let go of the military medal delivered to the door and wiped out these tens of thousands of people cleanly. Two commanders of 4 1 Army and 47 Army were captured. Sun Liangyuan dodged a bullet by hiding under the beds of ordinary people. /kloc-in February of 0/8, he fled to Xinyang. The escape technology is really unparalleled.

After Sun's breakthrough was not annihilated, the 2nd Army and 13 Army assembled and advanced in a "rolling" manner. However, under the tenacious resistance of the People's Liberation Army, the remaining troops of Du Tuan were trapped in the narrow area of Chen Guanzhuang. After nearly half a month's onslaught, our army suffered heavy casualties in continuous operations and its combat effectiveness declined. At the same time, in order to prevent Chiang Kai-shek from completely abandoning the north of the Yangtze River, Chairman Mao ordered Du to camp out and not attack, and all the troops rested in place for a period of time.

It is not necessarily a good thing for Du Group that the PLA does not attack. Their biggest enemy is not the PLA, but logistics. When they came out of Xuzhou, they didn't bring much materials, and they basically used them up. More than 200,000 soldiers and civilians were trapped in the cold field, naked.

Trembling Kuomintang troops

In order to maintain the survival of the army, Chiang Kai-shek ordered the airdrop of materials for Du Group at all costs. According to the calculation, 240 tons of grain and 160 tons of weapons and ammunition need to be airdropped every day. In all fairness, the transport planes of the Kuomintang Air Force and the three major civil aviation companies performed quite well. After all, many pilots fly over the hump route, and the plane is also a relatively advanced C-47. The daily take-off and landing sorties and airdrops are definitely the level of a powerful air force.

However, it was in the middle of winter and it often snowed, which greatly reduced the number of airdrops and the accuracy. Coupled with our air defense firepower, most transport planes only dare to drop materials at an altitude of 1000 meters. The accuracy of the airdrop can be imagined, which makes the national army get less materials.

It stands to reason that materials are in short supply, and everyone can only make ends meet by saving one province. Officers above battalion level can eat rice and flour, while soldiers below platoon leader can only eat coarse grains, wild vegetables and leaves. When the national army finally picked up the air-dropped materials, it found that the grain bag was full of sand, and the cigarette case was full of well-packed imported cigarettes and cigars. Needless to say, these people are commanders, captains and teachers. Quick response, hold back and send it to the chief, and the rest will continue to scold.

The national army and air force are preparing to airdrop supplies.

The 74th Army of the Second Corps was formed after the Battle of Menglianggu. They contacted the transport fleet by radio and guided the plane to drop air, so the 74 th Army got much more supplies than other troops. Other people who can't guide the air force by radio complained to Du. Du Yu Ming ordered Qiu Weida to hand over the radio station, but Qiu Weida refused, and Du Yu Ming had to give up.

First, the national army robbed all the food of the nearby people, and then killed all the livestock and cavalry horses used for transportation. In order to cook, people's houses were demolished, and even graves were dug and coffins were used as firewood. In order to grab the air-dropped materials, all the troops fought with friendly forces and even shot and killed people. A box of biscuits can often cause more than a dozen casualties. Du sent someone to supervise the airdrop field, but to no avail.

The most unfortunate people in the war are civilians, especially those trapped by the army. Along with Du's regiment, many citizens and students in Xuzhou fled Xuzhou. These civilians are in great trouble. Qiu Qingquan gave some food to the people on the condition that he would join the army as a coolie or cannon fodder.

The national army plundered the materials of the common people.

Many Kuomintang officers are wicked, and they have also found business opportunities at this juncture, forcibly exchanging seized grain and materials for people's property, and a cake will be exchanged for a gold ring. The common people finally made some money, which was taken away by these Kuomintang scum.

There are also some Kuomintang officers who have taken up the idea of women, especially female students. They forced or lured these women to become "temporary couples" with them. They are worried that their "temporary wife" will break her word or run away after breaking through or surrendering to the People's Liberation Army, and simply spend a candlelight night in the battlefield bridal chamber.

Just where is the bridal chamber on the battlefield? These scum showed their cleverness and flexibility in this matter. They dug a big hole in the ground and covered it with a huge parachute, which became a crude "bridal chamber". Kuomintang officers and their "temporary wives" entered the new house one by one. What's more, they found business opportunities and started buying and selling bodies.

Our army looked at the ugliness of the Kuomintang army outside the encirclement, sighed and launched a psychological offensive against the enemy. Besides shouting, they also used 60 guns to shoot propaganda materials into enemy positions. If you don't preach enough, do something practical. The soldiers climbed to the front of the enemy trench in the dark, delivered food and cigarettes to the enemy, and delivered our leaflets by the way.

Some troops were very practical, and sent a slaughtered pig to the 74th Army, and the pig's stomach was stuffed with propaganda materials. Qiu Weida believes that if soldiers are prevented from eating meat, even they themselves will be eaten, and they can only acquiesce.

Du was captured.

Under the attack of our army, many Kuomintang soldiers or junior officers sneaked into our army and defected. Most of them were so hungry that they fled by going to the toilet or keeping watch. When the officers put away their guns, they stole them and surrendered. They think they can't come empty-handed and have to get some presents. Although some deserters were killed by the secret service and the monitoring team, they could not stop the soldiers from turning their backs to the darkness.

Li Mi had to order that as long as you don't have a gun, you can leave if you want. From 65438+February 16 to1949 65438+1October 5, there were 14000 defectors. After coming, these people first asked for a full meal, and then answered everything about our army. Many people joined our army after political education and became liberation fighters. There is a battlefield legend that a group of national armies did not know how to surrender for a while because they had no officers and no connections.

In order not to starve themselves to death, this group of national troops rushed out of the trenches and rushed to the PLA position. The team behind shot at them, but the PLA didn't know the situation and shot at the front. This group of national troops used craters and debris on the battlefield as bunkers, dodged bullets with various tactical actions and rushed into the trenches of the People's Liberation Army in one breath. The people's liberation army was frightened by this group of national troops and is preparing to fight to the death. Who knows that they actually put down their guns and raised their hands. The PLA can't help sighing that the national army can't fight.

People's true colors can best be seen in times of crisis. When the national army was besieged, it did not forget to shirk its responsibility, maim the people and kill each other. They have lost the morale of the army and the people, and are doomed to lose the world.
