At 22:00 on March 14, 1948, after seven days and seven nights of fierce fighting, Luoyang, the "Golden City Tangchi" carefully managed by Chiang Kai-shek, collapsed and fell into the hands of the People's Liberation Army.
Luoyang shou will be Qiu Xingxiang. After the last position he held, Luoyang Middle School, was captured by the People's Liberation Army, in the early morning of the next day, the plane sent by Chiang Kai-shek to pick him up and escape flew over Luoyang. However, after circling around a few times, he saw that the core position of the enemy's 206th Division was in ruins, so he immediately dive and bombed.
Qiu Xingxiang had become a prisoner of the People's Liberation Army and was almost killed by a bomb dropped by the plane sent by Chiang Kai-shek to rescue him.
In fact, on the evening of March 14, when the People's Liberation Army concentrated artillery bombardment and attacked Luoyang Middle School, the enemy reinforcements Hu Lian Corps had reached the bank of the Luo River on the southern outskirts of Luoyang. Unexpectedly, after several days of heavy rain, the river that could have been waded in vain soared, and thousands of troops and horses could only look at the river and sigh in vain.
Hu Liansu was known for his bravery and pungency, and was the same as Qiu Xingxiang as Chen Cheng's concubines, and was the backbone of the "civil engineering system". He listened to the fierce gunfire in the city, and was so anxious that he rushed to the river in the rain to supervise the construction of the bridge. Soon, however, the sound of gunfire in the city turned from sparse to silent. Hu Lian sighed in his diary:
"Providence wants to lose Luoyang to the communist army, how can manpower do it?"
When the bridge was built and Hu Lian and his troops rushed into Luoyang City, they saw only the defeated tiles and decadence, the bones of the bones, and the Platon Army was already full of booty and calmly moved south. Hu Lian led his troops to the Dragon Gate, looking south at the overlapping of the Ten Thousand Mountains, and did not dare to pursue them again.
After that, he stayed in Luoyang like a needle and felt for ten days, leaving only a regular regiment and a security regiment to garrison the isolated city, and retreated east in a hurry.
If it is said that the first time Hu Lian failed to rescue Luoyang, it was "Providence", then the second loss of Luoyang was somewhat "manpower" inaction.
Hu Lian left two regiments to defend the vast city of Luoyang. 20 days later, the People's Liberation Army learned of this situation, and the 10th Brigade returned to Luoyang again, and the soldiers approached the city. The lessons of the past have already made the defending enemy tremble, and without waiting for the People's Liberation Army to approach Luoyang City, they immediately abandoned the city and fled.
Luoyang was liberated.
