preface
In 1949, our army basically eliminated the main force of the Kuomintang army through three major battles, and also established New China on October 1. However, because the Kuomintang forces did not completely withdraw from the Chinese mainland, most of the southeast at that time was still under the control of the Kuomintang. Therefore, on October 15, 1949, the Twenty-ninth and Thirty-first Army under the Tenth Corps of the Main Force of our army in Sanye officially launched the Xiamen Campaign to attack the Kuomintang army in Fujian.
The Battle of Xiamen was a great victory
On October 15, our army ordered the main force of sanye to launch the Xiamen Campaign against Xiamen, hoping to defeat the Kuomintang forces in Fujian through this battle. After a fierce battle, our army successively conquered many enemy defensive lines and gradually approached the divisional camp of the Kuomintang army.
The highest officer in charge of commanding the Kuomintang army was Tang Enbo, who was a famous general in the Kuomintang and had fought many battles with our army, so he knew the strength of our army.
When he saw the heroic posture of our army, he was immediately frightened and frightened, in order to escape for his life. Tang Enbo packed up gold and silver overnight, trying to cross the river in a small boat early the next morning to flee to Taiwan. Coincidentally, it was at low tide at this time, so the boat that picked up Tombaugh was difficult to dock in the wind and rain. This made Tang Enbo stomp his feet in the port of Xiamen and scold the person who came to meet them as a pig's head. Finally, it took more than an hour for the warships and boats from Taiwan to successfully dock, and the Kuomintang general Tang Da was able to escape in a small boat.
The Kuomintang army without Tang Enbo was a mess. Except for a small number of diehards who desperately resisted the attack of our army, most of the Kuomintang troops desperately hid or surrendered to our army.
Based on this situation, on October 17, Zhou Zhijian, commander of the 31st Army, issued a combat order to the 92nd Division, ordering our army to attack the enemy from three directions together.
At the moment when the order was given, the 92nd Division rushed towards the positions of the Nationalist army with unstoppable momentum. Since the Kuomintang army had no commander-in-chief, there was no unified operational deployment. So they were confused, and when our army came, they tended to surrender directly or simply flee in the direction of the sea.
And our army has always given preferential treatment to prisoners, and our army has not embarrassed those Kuomintang troops who have surrendered. They captured their machine guns and then attacked south.
Capture the commander of Jiang Jun's division alive
Just as our army was attacking south, something strange happened in the 92nd Division. How did a lieutenant general of Chiang Kai-shek's division actually be captured by a small squad leader of our army and obediently obey? The reason for this is that the 2nd Battalion of our 274th Regiment, after receiving orders from its superiors, quickly advanced forward, and at the same time encountered 6 Kuomintang army carriers. After the second battalion saw the Kuomintang army's cars, it immediately ordered the fifth company to ambush on both sides of the road and wait until The Chiang Kai-shek army entered the ambush circle of our army, and then suddenly opened fire to wipe out this group of Kuomintang troops.
Sure enough, soon after, the enemy's 6 cars entered the fire circle of our army, and with the fierce attack of 50,000 soldiers, our army not only wiped out this handful of enemy forces, but also raised a company commander of the enemy's 74th Division.
After some interrogation by us, the enemy army confessed that the headquarters of their 74th Division was around Tatou Village. The commander of the 5th Company immediately ordered the 7th Squad to go to the vicinity of the tower to detect the virtual reality, the 7th Squad was the bravest squad of the Fifth Company, and the Squad Leader Sun Jibo was also a fierce general, so the 5th Company Commander was very relieved to entrust such an important task to the 7th Squad.
And the facts have finally proved that the 7th class has not lived up to the expectations of any leader of our army. After the 7th class arrived near Tatou Village, Sun Jibo found that the village had become a ruin, and the Kuomintang troops looked panicked and anxious to escape.
Sun Jibo thought that since the division headquarters of the Kuomintang army was here, he would first capture the enemy's division commander. With the help of the captives, our army successfully entered the division headquarters of the Kuomintang army, and Sun Jibo loudly asked the people inside who was the division commander. An officer-like man in sunglasses replied to me, "Who are you?"
Sun Jibo wanted to tell others his true position, but he thought about it again, why did the Kuomintang lieutenant general listen to the words of a small squad leader?
So in order to suppress this division commander, Sun Jibo made himself an official. Tell him I'm a PLATOON LEADER in the People's Liberation Army, and you have something to tell me. When the enemy division commander heard this, he obviously felt that the Sun platoon leader was not qualified to talk to himself because of his own identity, so he turned around and sat down.
Instead, the deputy division commander of Chiang Kai-shek's army was busy greeting the People's Liberation Army and took the initiative to call other units of the Kuomintang army to ask other units to surrender.
Meritorious promotion of two levels
Because Sun Jibo captured one of the enemy division commanders, the 274th Regiment found Sun Jibo to give him a credit. However, Sun Jibo still refused to go to the division headquarters with the regimental commander, and the regimental commander felt strange and asked him why.
So he embarrassed to tell the regimental commander that I don't want to be a platoon leader and I don't want any credit. Although I violated discipline, I also had merit. Besides, I will say now that I am a platoon leader, and the next time the enemy knows that I am a fake, won't that be a loss to our army?
When the regimental commander heard Sun Jibo's words, he couldn't laugh and cry, so he had to report his situation to Zhou Zhijian, commander of the 31st Army.
After Zhou Zhijian understood the situation of this little comrade, he thought in his heart that this small squad leader had courage and strategy, or was he still relatively powerful? If you want to award, you will be rewarded fiercely, and really give him a platoon leader to be what to do. Not only that, but I also want to promote him two levels so that the enemy army can not make people see jokes.
So Zhou Zhijian wrote a few words with a big smile, and he wrote that he was allowed to be promoted two levels. The political commissar of the Thirty-first Army who saw the words he had written was stunned.
He said that Sun Jibo was a fake platoon leader who gave him a platoon leader who was qualified, so why should he be promoted two levels? Zhou Zhijian couldn't help but smile and replied that he now said that he was a platoon leader and that he had made meritorious achievements, and if he was not promoted to a higher level, wouldn't this mean that the rewards and punishments of our army were not clear?
Who still trusted the Communist army, when he heard these words, the political commissar suddenly realized that he also understood Zhou Zhijian's good intentions.
epilogue
Although this incident was a small episode that occurred during the liberation of Xiamen, it was enough to prove that the People's Liberation Army had clear rewards and punishments and was loyal to the people. How can such an army have a reason to lose the battle? Later, after several months of fighting, our People's Liberation Army heroically drove the remnants of the Kuomintang out of the Chinese mainland and shrunk to the area around Taiwan, Penghu, Jinma and Jinma.
The story of Sun Jibo. Welcome to share the discussion in the message area, the transformation of history and the development of the times, I will be with you!
