Introduction: The regimental commander Luo Ying even exerted his arrogance to the extreme, when the battle reached the most intense moment, Luo Ying even dared to reply to the New Sixth Army Headquarters by telegram, "There is no need for reinforcements at all, my 66 Regiment beat him an army!" ”
In the early morning of February 14, 1946, at the overlap of pengwu Faku Highway in Liaoning Province, an unknown town of Xiushui Hezi, after a night of fierce fighting in flesh and blood, completely left a strong mark in the history of the Liberation War. The newly established Northeast Democratic Coalition Army won the first annihilation war cleanly and beautifully.
Annihilating more than 1,600 Kuomintang ORD troops, capturing 36 cannons and nearly 2,000 guns of various kinds, such a brilliant victory brought the morale of the entire Northeast Democratic United Army to a peak. Tu Ba Lu changed to an American gun, it was really opened!
Just as the Battle of XiushuiHezi was fought, another Kuomintang force, nearly 2,000 men from the 66th Regiment of the 22nd Division of the New Sixth Army, had arrived from the South Road on February 11 in Shaling, southeast of Panshan County. The leader of the regiment is Luo Ying, a graduate of the Huangpu Sixth Stage Infantry Department.
Many fans of the Liberation War Army should be more familiar with Luo Ying, saying that he is crazy, and indeed has proud capital, and the New Sixth Army, as the trump card of the Kuomintang, has always been Chiang Kai-shek's concubine unit. During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, with outstanding merits in the Indo-Burmese war, coupled with all-American equipment, the army exuded a cow-coaxing arrogance from top to bottom. Luo Ying himself also fought against the Japanese 18th Division in Burma and achieved military achievements.
At this time, the Liaodong Military Region of the Democratic Coalition Army was full of confidence and determination to eat the 66th Regiment of the New Sixth Army, and even mobilized before the war, putting forward the slogan of the last battle in the northeast! The little devils were all defeated by us, and a stubborn enemy of the Jiang bandits was not to be mentioned. Thus, two days after the victory in the Battle of XiushuiHezi, at five o'clock in the afternoon of February 16, another battle began in the history of the Liberation War, but this battle was costly.
The 31st team that attacked first launched an attack on the northeast highlands of Shaling and fought until dawn the next day, and after paying a huge price, they took the main position. The 28th Regiment and the 31st Regiment launched an attack two hours apart, the main attack was the southwest highlands, and one battalion of the regiment was completely destroyed, and no progress was made. The 29th Regiment, which attacked from the flank, also gained nothing, and only 32 Regiments eliminated a disgruntled garrison company of the Nationalist army.
The 3rd Column (the 40th Army that later swept the US Army in the Korean Battlefield) and the 4th Column were all shino super aces in the future, but at this time, in the face of the New Sixth Army, which was not weak in combat strength and superior in equipment, it really suffered a big loss. The 66th Regiment of the New Sixth Army, which was attacked several times, still organized resistance in an orderly manner, and the regimental commander Luo Ying exerted his arrogance to the extreme, and when the battle reached the most intense moment, Luo Ying dared to reply to the New Sixth Army Headquarters by telegram, "There is no need for reinforcements at all, my 66th Regiment beat him an army!" ”
Luo Ying dared to be so crazy, it was really capital, after the baptism of the Indian-Burmese battlefield, the artillery of the New Sixth Army was really powerful, and the shells of the 66 Regiment were like eyes, specifically smashing into the pile of our army's attackers! At that time, the veterans of the 4th Column 28 Regiment recalled that these Jiang Jun's guns were accurate and the artillery shots were more accurate, stronger than the Japanese devils!
The soldiers of our army who attacked were also attacked by the flamethrowers of the New Sixth Army, and one battalion of our army was burned half of its personnel, and many of the soldiers who died did not even know what kind of weapon it was. In the end, after two days and three nights of fighting, the Democratic Coalition Army, which suffered more than 2,000 casualties, voluntarily withdrew from the battle on February 19, and the 66th Regiment of the New Sixth Army, which suffered nearly 700 casualties, also fled back to Panshan, and the battle of Shaling ended.
The initial contest in the northeast battlefield of the Liberation War, one victory and one loss, completely stimulated the combat belief of the soldiers participating in the war! After this, the 40th Army of the 3rd Column became the world-famous whirlwind unit.
And the 4 columns with huge casualties in this battle revealed their fierce and belligerent fangs! Whether it is the Three Baoben Creek or the Tashan Bloody Battle, whether it is to conquer Tianjin or sweep through South China, the 4 Columns are invincible, all the way to the friendship pass on the border between China and Vietnam!
And that arrogant Luo Ying regimental commander, after the battle of Shaling, never got a chance to be proud again! Two years later, in the Liaoshen Campaign, he became a prisoner of the People's Liberation Army!
