On November 11, 1949, when HuaYe was in the middle of a fierce battle between the Regiments of Nianzhuang and Huang Baitao, Liu Bocheng, Deng Xiaoping, and Chen Yi held a meeting of the leaders of various columns at the Linzhuo Market in Anhui Province, at which Deng Xiaoping stressed: "Capturing Suxian County is of great significance to cooperating with Huaye in annihilating Huang Baitao's corps, preventing the enemy in Xuzhou from escaping, and blocking the Huang Wei Corps that is aided from the east." When we occupied Su County, we controlled both sides of the Xu Beng battlefield, and when we had a battlefield, we could free up our hands to deal with Huang Wei.
Liu Bocheng also ordered at the meeting that all columns must go all out to win the battle at all costs. On November 12, Nakano marched in the third column and the fourth column braved heavy rain to march to Su County, along the Jiagou Line. Suxian is located on the Jinpu Line between Xuzhou and Bengbu and is a key transportation point for north-south traffic. In addition, Suxian was also the rear supply base of Xuzhou at that time, hoarding a large number of weapons, ammunition, uniforms and other military materials.
At first, Sun Yuanliang's corps was stationed in Suxian County, but after Sun Yuanliang's corps was ordered to go north, there were not many Kuomintang troops stationed in Suxian County. On November 15, Chen Xilian led the Nakano Three Columns (at this time the Three Columns only had 16,000 people) to launch an attack on Su County, the City's Kuomintang troops were numerous, the command was chaotic, so it was quickly defeated by the Three Columns, and in the early morning of the 16th, the Three Columns occupied Su County, captured 12,000 people, and captured a large amount of materials.
At the same time that Chen Xilian led his troops to conquer Su County, Zhang Guohua led the Yuwan Su Independent Brigade and the Yuxi forces to capture Guzhen, cutting off the connection between Xuzhou and Bengbu. Nakano captured Su County and assured Huaye to attack Huang Baitao's corps, providing a strong flanking support.
After completing the task of capturing Su County, Nakano's task was to block the Huang Wei Corps advancing eastward. The Huang Wei Corps, also known as the 12th Corps of the Kuomintang Army, was arguably the most powerful main force in the Guannei Nationalist Army, with four corps of the 18th Army, the 14th Army, the Tenth Army, and the 85th Army, and was attached to the Fourth Rapid Column (equivalent to the Plaksar's Special Forces Column, equipped with artillery, tanks, and a large number of vehicles).
Among these four armies, the 18th Army is one of the five main forces of the Nationalist Army, and it is also a subordinate unit of Chen Cheng's department, and both the quality of personnel and the level of equipment are second to none in the Kuomintang army. The 14th Army, the 10th Army, and the 85th Army were also the main forces of the Nationalist Army, and their combat effectiveness was very strong.
When the 12th Corps was first formed, many people at that time believed that Hu Lian, the commander of the former 11th Reorganized Division (18th Army of the National Revolutionary Army), would serve as the commander of the corps. However, the factional struggle within the Kuomintang was very serious, and Bai Chongxi, commander-in-chief of the Central China Suppression Campaign, had a conflict with Hu Lian and did not agree to Hu Lian's appointment as the commander of the corps, and then Chiang Kai-shek pulled out Huang Wei, a nerd who wanted to teach, and made him the commander of the 12th Corps.
Huang Wei graduated from the Huangpu Phase I, and led the 67th Division of the 18th Army and the Japanese army in the bloody battle of Luodian during the Battle of Songhu, and the last four regiments survived less than one regiment. After the end of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, Hu Lian stayed in wuhan as the principal of the new military school, and when Huang Wei was appointed commander of the 12th Corps, Hu Lian and Yang Botao, commander of the 18th Army, directly took sick leave, and Huang Wei immediately said that it was only a transition, and a few months later the commander was still Hu Lian, and they all returned, but the internal contradictions were still very deep.
On November 22, 1949, the 18th Army, the vanguard of the Huang Wei Corps, fought with the Nakano Fourth Column led by Chen Geng in the area of Nanpingji, and Chen Geng commanded the troops to block the attack of the Kuomintang army according to the terrain. However, in the night of the fierce battle, Chen Geng led his troops to retreat, because Liu Bocheng set up a large pocket for Huang Wei in the double pile, and Huang Wei did not know the situation, and led hundreds of thousands of people to crash into Nakano's pocket.
On the 24th, Nakano's various units began to encircle the 12th Corps of the Kuomintang Army, and Nakano's first column, second column, third column, and sixth column detoured back to the double pile behind the Huang Wei Corps. The 4th Column, 9th Column and Yuwan Su Independent Brigade attacked Nanpingji, and Nakano 11th Column attacked from east to west. In the early morning of the 25th, Nakano's second column captured a Kuomintang army's messenger staff officer and captured Huang Wei's breakthrough order to the 85th Army, and Nakano began to shrink into the encirclement.
In the early days of Huang Wei's encirclement by Nakano, the troops were in chaos, and the battle was carried out until November 27, when the Central Plains Field Army compressed Huang Wei's corps into a narrow area of 15 kilometers from east to west and four or five kilometers from north to south.
Under such circumstances, if Hua Ye's troops were pulled over for a bombing, they would definitely cause great damage to the enemy. However, when the Central Plains Field Army was approaching dabie Mountain, in order to cross the Huangpan area, it discarded all its heavy weapons, and the veterans also lost half of them, and their combat effectiveness was greatly affected.
Huang Wei also saw the weakness of Nakano's poor weaponry, and after relieving himself, he immediately ordered his troops to counterattack, which also caused chaos for Nakano. After that, Huang Wei and Huang Wei deployed four armies under his command, a rapid column shrunk into a regiment, built a circular group fortification, and organized layers of firepower networks with tanks, artillery, and light and heavy machine guns, so that the PLA could not divide and annihilate them. Coupled with the fact that the Shuangduiji area is located in the Huaibei Plain, after the autumn harvest, it is an endless plain, and the open terrain is very conducive to the Kuomintang army to exert its firepower superiority, and the charging troops of the People's Liberation Army simply cannot approach the defense line of the 12th Corps.
On November 26, 1948, Huang Wei gathered the commanders of the various divisions of the corps to make a breakthrough, and Liao Yunzhou, commander of the 110th Division of the 85th Army, strongly demanded to take the lead, and Huang Wei was very happy and praised Liao Yunzhou's courage. But what Huang Wei did not expect was that Liao Yunzhou, a disciple of huangpu fifth, was an underground party member.
On November 27, Liao Yunzhou led the 110th Division to easily pass through the Nakano Six ColumnAry Line, and the uprising was a complete success. When Liao Yunzhou rebelled, he always sent a report to the headquarters of the 12th Corps: "There is no obstacle along the way." Huang Wei was very happy and immediately asked the troops behind to follow, but when the troops behind followed, they were immediately beaten by Nakano Rokushiro, with heavy losses, and all of them were beaten back.
After Huang Wei learned the news of the 110th Division's uprising, he was almost fainted, and then Huang Wei invited Wu Shaozhou, the commander of the 85th Army, to the corps headquarters, nominally to take care of it, but in fact it was surveillance, and the 12th Corps was suspicious of each other and did not trust each other.
It was in this situation that Nakano was still unable to fight due to insufficient firepower, and several of Huang Wei's armies were ace troops, their positions were very well-defended, and their use of firepower was also very reasonable. When our army is preparing for fire, the enemy will hide in the bunkers, but when our army charges, several machine guns in the enemy bunkers will immediately open fire, blocking the offensive route of the Nakano assault troops, causing great casualties to Nakano.
In order to reduce casualties, Nakano had to adopt the method of soil work, digging communication trenches in the direction of the Kuomintang army little by little, and when it reached a distance of only a few tens of meters from the Kuomintang army position, the soldiers could only dig lying down and digging on their knees in order to reduce the enemy's firepower, and they could only dig at night, and the movement was very slow.
In this way, Nakano and the 12th Corps of the Kuomintang Army fell into a stalemate, Nakano could not attack, and Huang Wei's corps could not break through. Faced with this situation, Su Yu ordered Huaye's chief of staff, Chen Shiyu, to lead three columns and artillery columns to carry a large number of heavy weapons to shuangduiji to support Nakano. However, at that time, some of Huaye's generals began to complain about Nakano, feeling that Nakano had dragged Huaye's hind legs and affected the progress of the Huaihai Campaign.
Su Yu made a serious criticism of this phenomenon: "Some comrades believe that Nakano has not fought the Huang Wei Corps for many days, and this understanding is wrong. Some of our comrades have forgotten that Nakano was the first to undertake the most arduous task of attacking from the outside, and we comrades have forgotten the equipment of others, the situation of others. In terms of attrition, we hit Du Yuming, and there were very few grenades. Nakano fought the Yellow Wei Corps, firing a lot of grenades, and each gun fired only a few shells. And we hit Du Yuming, almost bulldozing the village with artillery fire, and a village hit thousands of shells and tens of thousands of pounds of explosives. Nakano had only 10,000 or 20,000 men in each column, while each of our columns in Kawano had at least 20,000 men. The enemy's 18th Army is stronger than the 5th Army, not weaker than the 74th Division, and the 10th Army, 14th Army, and 85th Army are not weak, and it is not easy to destroy the strongest enemy with equipment like Nakano. People have played to the strong points of our army's combat, and we should learn from them with an open mind. ”
In order to make up for the weakness of insufficient firepower, Nakano can say that he has exhausted everything he can, and Nakano also uses gasoline barrels to create "unconscionable cannons" on a large scale, which can blow up a bunker of the Kuomintang army after being fired. Nakano fought for many days and suffered heavy losses, but Deng Xiaoping ordered: As long as the main force of the enemy army on the southern front is annihilated and Nakano is exhausted, the People's Liberation Army of all walks of life throughout the country can also win victory in all of China, and this price is worth it.
On December 6, the three infantry columns and artillery units of Huaye led by Chen Shiyu began to join the battle, and after the cannons of the Huaye Special Forces Column were put into the battlefield, the situation was soon opened, and the key places such as Dawangzhuang and Jiangudui were conquered. During the attack on The Ancient Pile, Hua Ye concentrated hundreds of cannons to carry out a fierce bombardment, and carried out an hour-long artillery preparation, which confused the Huang Wei Corps.
After that, Nakano and Huaye's infantry joined forces to eliminate the 54th Regiment of the 18th Army, the Special Service Battalion of the 18th Army, and the Engineer Battalion. The capture of Jiangudui made the headquarters of the 12th Corps, artillery positions, and a large number of military supplies all exposed to the blows of the People's Liberation Army, and the commander of the 12th Corps, Huang Wei, the commander of the 18th Army, Yang Botao, the commander of the 18th Army, Qin Daoshan, the commander of the 10th Army, and Wu Shaozhou, the commander of the 85th Army, were captured, but Hu Lian, the deputy commander of the 12th Corps, drove a tank out of the encirclement of Nakano and Huaye, and was finally rescued by Li Yannian's corps that came to reinforce.
