General Chen Geng once joked that Lin Shuai liked to command beyond the higher level when fighting, and the subordinate corps commander could sleep with his head covered.

Major General Zhong Wei
Born in Pingjiang, Hunan in 1911, Major General Zhong Wei officially joined the revolution at the age of 19, and because of his excellent performance and bravery in battle, it took only one month to break the party. Zhong Wei is grumpy, direct in doing things, very good at fighting, extremely fierce on the battlefield, but also has a strategy, treats the battle with meticulous observation, often can anticipate the enemy's opportunity, hit the enemy at the same time will not let themselves cause too much damage, many veterans have sighed: Following Zhong Wei to fight a war will not suffer losses. Major General Zhong Wei has made great achievements in battle and is known as China's "General Patton".
In 1928, When Mr. Peng revolted in the Pingjiang area, there was a lot of artillery fire for a while, and many people in the city escaped, but Zhong Wei ran towards the place where the guns sounded. Major General Zhong was young, but bold in order to help underground party members understand the situation and inquire into intelligence, he chose to set out to dangerous areas, at that time he did not expect that he would one day become a generation of famous generals who threatened China.
The Liberation War was the peak period when Major General Zhong Wei led his troops to fight, and his military ability became more and more pure after the test of war, and he was valued by the leaders of his superiors, all the way promoted to division commander, and then promoted to column commander, and later served as the commander of the 49th Army of Shiye.
The Four Wild Battlefields during the Liberation War were mainly in the northeast region, and the Liaoshen Campaign of the three major battles was the battle record of the Four Wilds, and this team had strong combat ability and was a veritable "Northeast Tiger." And Zhong Wei is a sharp claw of the tiger. Major General Zhong Wei's performance during his time in the northeast was simply loved and hated, and he violated Lin Shuai's orders three times and made a move of "not being exempt from the foreign king's orders", but in the end he fought a beautiful battle.
In March 1947, Siye launched a battle to cross the Songhua River in the south, and on the 9th, Major General Zhong Wei received an order from Lin Shuai: marching east to Dehui and cooperating with two brother columns to surround and annihilate the Kuomintang New 1st Army northeast of Dehui. When he led his troops to Paoshantun and found two Kuomintang troops stationed near Jiang Jiatun and Wang Kuidian, Major General Zhong Wei saw that there was a battle, and immediately decided not to leave, preparing to lead the soldiers to defeat this part of the enemy by the way. At that time, the political commissar around him reminded him to carry out the previous order, he was not moved, and even Lin Shuai sent him 3 telegrams in a row, he did not see it and refused to carry it out.
At that time, Major General Zhong Wei said that if he fought like this, he would not be subject to the foreign monarch's order, and if I had any responsibility, I would bear this battle! Rear Admiral Zhong Wei then immediately deployed for battle, first surrounded a regiment of the enemy, the enemy then sent a division of troops to support, Major General Zhong Wei was not strong enough, directly asked his superiors to send troops to support, after fierce fighting, the encirclement of the 88th Division a regiment of strength was completely annihilated, and then with the assistance of brother troops, Yu Guojiatun counter-packaged the enemy to reinforce the 87th Division, won the battle.
Major General Zhong Wei once told people about his experience in fighting in the northeast, saying that the most beautiful battle he fought was the Wenjiatai Annihilation War, also known as the Battle of Gongzhutun. In November 1947, the Dongye Army launched a winter offensive against the enemy under the instructions of the central authorities, and the main column quickly assembled to Xinmin around Shenyang. It was winter, the weather was cold and heavy snow for several days, and the 57th Regiment of the 17th Division and the 17th Regiment of the 6th Division of the 2nd Column under the jurisdiction of the 7th Column of the Dongye Army were attacked by the enemy army when they attacked qianwenjiatai, and the Dongye Army was injured.
At that time, the military equipment of the enemy and us was very different, the Kuomintang side had sufficient firepower, tanks and artillery and other heavy equipment were available, many people in the Eastern Field Army proposed to retreat, Zhong Wei knew and went straight to the headquarters to ask for battle, saying that this battle could be fought by himself, and he would definitely take down Wen Jiatai, but he had two requirements, one was that this battle must be commanded by him with full authority, and the other was to prepare how many cannons to take, and he must give enough. The command thought for a long time and agreed to his request for combat.
After reconnaissance, Major General Zhong Wei quickly drew up a plan for this battle, and then held a pre-war meeting to deploy the next battle: This battle should rely on ice and snow, turn disadvantages into advantages, dig a number of passages under the thick snow, and build trenches, this part of the ice and snow fortifications must be directly dug to the forefront of the battle, and at the same time, we must pay attention to concealment, can not let the enemy find, and when the soldiers move under the snow to the open area that is convenient for combat, they launch an onslaught on the enemy, and the soldiers have the support for hidden defense. We can start a battle at any time, the initiative is in our hands, and the rest is to give full play to the superiority of the artillery in our hands, destroy the enemy's positions, and win the battle.
This battle was indeed just as major general Zhong Wei had arranged in advance, quickly defeated the enemy with very small casualties, achieved the record of annihilating a main force of the Kuomintang in total annihilation, and was the largest large-scale annihilation battle on the northeast battlefield, which boosted morale, shocked the enemy, smashed the all-round defense plan from point to surface initiated by Chen Cheng of the civil engineering department, and also accumulated rich experience for subsequent battles.
On June 24, 1984, Major General Zhong Wei died of illness in Beijing at the age of 73, and he made countless military achievements in his life, and he was the god of war who fought for peace and was also a hero of China.
In 1912, Liang Xing Junior High School was born in Ji'an, Jiangxi, and began to participate in the revolution in 1930, served as the commander of the Red Army during the Red Army, served as a brigade commander and commander of the military sub-district during the War of Resistance Against Japan, commanded the Battle of Cuizhuang, which annihilated 4 regiments of the enemy in the Shandong region, fought in a large area of land in Jinji-Hebei Lusu during the 8-year War of Resistance, and was the commander of the 38th Army under Siye during the Liberation War, and followed the troops all the way from the northeast to Guangxi, making countless military achievements, but liang Xing Junior High School's most eye-catching achievement was during the Korean War.
In November 1950, the second battle was about to begin, and before the battle began, Beijing sent a message that Tokugawa was a crucial and important strategic stronghold in this battle, and taking this place would be equivalent to cutting off the enemy's right flank on the western front. The Central Committee and the Volunteer Army Command demanded that the 38th Army and the 42nd Army jointly attack and occupy Tokugawa as soon as possible.
This battle was the most important battle for Liang Xingchu's 38th Army, and in the first battle, there was a mistake, failing to capture the main force of the American army, and once again received the task of Lieutenant General Liang Xing, like the soldiers, held his breath and vowed to lead the troops to take Tokugawa. In order to fight this battle well, General Liang Xing had already made preparations, memorized the battlefield map, and put down harsh words to the command headquarters: "I have rounded up the 38th Army in Tokugawa, and I don't need reinforcements!" He even took the initiative to issue a military order to the headquarters: attack on the 25th and take down Tokugawa on the 26th. After repeated consideration, the command agreed to Liang Xing's request to fight alone, and transferred the 42nd Army to Ningyuan, and after taking the position, the two armies immediately formed a situation of encirclement against the enemy, with half the effort.
At dusk on the 25th, under the command of Junior General Liang Xing, the three main divisions under the command of the 38th Army marched towards the Tokugawa area. The 112th Division marched all the way south, walked for several hours, and finally reached the front of the enemy, the previous 112th Division had just completed its mission, walked more than 200 miles in two days, was sleepy and tired, and after arriving at the designated location, it was organizing a rest, and it did not expect to encounter the enemy troops head-on. Due to the urgency of this combat mission, the soldiers of the 112th Division were tired, the number and flag were not taken out, and the enemy on the opposite side had just received a blow, and the hasty escape mistakenly thought that the volunteer army was a friendly unit, and there was no preparation for fortification, the soldiers immediately opened fire, the enemy could not cope, and annihilated the strength of a battalion plus an artillery company.
At 5:00 a.m. on the morning of the 26th, the enemy position in Unsamatsu-ri, southwest of Tokugawa, was successfully taken by the 112th Division. At the same time, the 113th Division also crossed the Datong River, cut off the enemy's external communication channel in the encirclement, and at about 8 a.m., occupied important enemy positions such as Shri Peak and Gedong South of Tokugawa, and the enemy troops guarding Tokugawa completely became the fish to be slaughtered in the encirclement circle of our army.
Another unit of the Volunteer Army, the 114th Division, was tasked with attacking from the frontal battlefield in this battle. However, in the process of marching, it was accidentally spotted by enemy reconnaissance planes, bombed, and mobilized ground troops to attack the volunteers. The 114th Division had to fight hard, and with the efforts of the soldiers, it turned from defending to attacking, fighting and defending, and it took less than half an hour to end the battle, capturing a large amount of enemy supplies, and did not delay the scheduled battle plan, and at 11:00 a.m., the 114th Division arrived at the predetermined location on time and formed a siege of Tokugawa with the other two units.
After receiving the signal that the fighters had arrived at the designated location, Liang Xing Junior High School originally wanted to launch a battle signal at dusk according to the predetermined plan, when the strength of the three divisions would attack at the same time, and end the battle at dawn under the premise of avoiding the enemy's air fire as much as possible. However, now it seems that the time is somewhat urgent, and General Liang Xing, after considering the various situations that may occur on the battlefield, boldly decided to start the battle in advance, and our army will launch a frontal general offensive, cut close to the enemy's interior, and launch a close combat.
At about 15:00 on the afternoon of the 26th, under the cover of the firepower of the rear troops, a general attack on the enemy was launched, and the enemy panicked and suffered serious losses; a small detachment of our army directly rushed into the US command position, fought with the enemy's white blade, annihilated more than 10 personnel of the US military headquarters, and took prisoners including 1 US military colonel, 1 lieutenant colonel, and 6 majors. The battle ended at 19:00 on the 26th.
In the Battle of Tokugawa, Liang Xingchu would eventually lead the 38th Army to a disgrace, take important strongholds, annihilate a large number of enemies, and capture countless materials, this brave unit was also praised by the whole army of Peng Laozong, and the name of "Long Live army" followed the nickname of Liang Xing's junior general "Liang Daya".
Major General Zhong Wei and Junior General Liang Xing are both generals of our army who have made outstanding achievements in battle; they have gone through many battles in the revolutionary period and made countless battle achievements for New China, and they are Chinese heroes and even more examples of combat for the PLA troops.
