From ancient times to the present, people have always had the saying that "great generals are afraid of committing crimes", for example, Pang Tong, who was equally famous with Zhuge Liang during the Three Kingdoms period, died in Luofengpo, partial to Pang Tong's "Phoenix Chick"; the plane on which Dai Kasa was riding crashed and crashed into "Dai Shan" on the outskirts of Nanjing, and the wreckage of the plane fell in the "Sleepy Rain Ditch".
In the Battle of Huaihai, there were also many defeated Kuomintang generals who "committed place names", some people say that it is a coincidence, but the author prefers to believe that it is providence and historical inevitability.
Qiu Qingquan refused to guard Shangqiu
Qiu Qingquan, who has been abroad and stayed in the West, should theoretically be a high-ranking Kuomintang officer of the "new faction," but his degree of taboo against "committing place names" is not inferior to that of the ancients. Before the Battle of Huaihai, Qiu Qingquan resolutely refused to lead his troops to garrison Shangqiu in Henan, because "Shangqiu" and "Wounded Qiu" were in harmony.
Stills from the TV series Liberation
Huang Baitao's army defeated Sanhuangtan.
Huang Baitao, the commander of the Kuomintang 7th Corps, was besieged by the People's Liberation Army in the small village of Nianzhuangwei with only more than 200 households, and there were three villages around Nianzhuangwei, called "Former Yellow Beach", "Later Yellow Beach" and "Upper Yellow Beach".
Huang Baitao and the 7th Corps finally destroyed the entire army in this "three yellow beaches" around the mill, and Huang Baitao also committed suicide. And Huang Baitao's surname "Huang", "beach" and "paralysis" are harmonic sounds, so some people say that Huang Baitao "committed a place name", and it is strange that the Kuomintang 7th Corps is not "paralyzed".
On the way to escape, Huang Wei's chariot fell into the Yellow Ditch.
Huang Wei was the commander of the Kuomintang 12th Corps, and soon after taking office, he rushed to xuzhou on the orders of Chiang Kai-shek. Who knew that the rescue was not successful, but he had entered the encirclement of the People's Liberation Army.
When the 12th Corps was about to collapse, the corps commander Huang Wei and the deputy commander Hu Lian fled for their lives. They each took a combat vehicle, and the deputy commander Hu Lian was blown up by the grenade, but he escaped; Huang Wei's ending was a bit strange, his chariot could actually drive into a river ditch, trapped in the mud and nested, Huang Wei helplessly became a prisoner.
The Kuomintang lieutenant general had been grumpy about the chariot driving into the ditch and falling into the mire, until he entered the Beijing Gongdelin, and Huang Wei found out from the data that the ditch that made his chariot break down and lie down was called "Huanggou". Huang Wei's surname is "Huang", trapped in the "Yellow Ditch", you said it was not a coincidence.
Du Yuming's fate: Chen Guanzhuang - Shen Coffin Zhuang
In the middle and late stages of the Huaihai Campaign, Du Yuming, deputy commander-in-chief of the Kuomintang Xuzhou "Suppression General", led the remnants all the way west to try to get rid of the PLA's encirclement and blockade, and it took them 4 days to reach the northeast of Yongcheng in Henan Province, and the troops were preparing to camp in a village.
Du Yuming asked, "What is the name of this village?" ”
The subordinates replied, "Report Commander, this village is called Chen Guanzhuang."
"Chen Guanzhuang?" Du Yuming inexplicably felt chest tightness and shortness of breath, and three other words immediately popped up in his head - "Shen Coffin Zhuang". Du Yuming, who was usually not superstitious, suddenly had an ominous omen.
Sure enough, Du Yuming, the deputy commander-in-chief, "sank" here, and his general Qiu Qingquan and others were killed here, and the "coffin" of their burial was naturally "sunk" here forever.
Trees were cut down in the courtyard to relieve "sleepiness", and they were self-defeating and were "imprisoned."
”。
After Du Yuming was trapped in Chen Guanzhuang, the People's Liberation Army adopted a strategy of "encircling but not fighting", so for a period of time, the sound of guns and artillery could not be heard, and it was relatively clean.
Du Yuming's headquarters was set up in a peasant family in Chen Guanzhuang. This is a square farm yard, there is a big tree in the middle of the yard, because it is winter, so the leaves have basically fallen, only the bare branches remain.
Du Yuming was sitting under a tree, and the attendants were cutting his hair, at this time, Qiu Qingquan came to see Du Yuming's deputy commander-in-chief, and as soon as he entered the courtyard door, he mysteriously said to Du Yuming: "This courtyard is not auspicious!" ”
"Huh? How unlucky, let's hear it. Du Yuming didn't care too much, only when Qiu Qingquan made a joke, making everyone feel relaxed.
Qiu Qingquan said solemnly: "This courtyard is surrounded by walls on all sides, and there is a tree in the middle of the courtyard. ”
Du Yuming was shocked, and his heart was bottomless, and he asked busily: "What can I do then?" ”
Qiu Qingquan said: "In this way, if I cut down this tree, won't the word 'sleepy' be solved?" ”
Du Yuming did not say anything, and Qiu Qingquan hurriedly asked his men to cut down the unfortunate tree.
Later, when Du Yuming recalled this past at the Gongdelin War Criminals Management Office in Beijing, he smiled bitterly: "The tree was cut down, but I still came here." ”
Immediately, someone ridiculed: "Yes, the trees in the courtyard have been cut down, but there are still 'people' in the courtyard, that is a 'prisoner' word." Du Yuming was speechless.
After a period of study and reflection, Du Yuming slowly came out of the "chaos", gained a new understanding of why the Kuomintang was defeated, and began to receive ideological education and transformation of the management institute.
The story of the Three Kingdoms Fengchi "dying and falling on the fengpo" has no lack of deductive elements, but these events that occurred during the Battle of Huaihai are not fabricated or fabricated stories, but the final result inevitably makes people add some imagination, perhaps purely coincidental, after all, we still can't explain that its appearance and results are inevitably related, and lack of scientific basis.
Judging from the victory or defeat of the Huaihai Campaign alone, those Kuomintang generals were once invincible in the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, but the real reason why they were vulnerable in the civil war was because the Kuomintang government was completely corrupt, they went against the tide of history, lost the people's hearts and the hearts of the army, and were not defeated.
If we must say that the defeat of the Kuomintang army is related to the "crime of place names," then we can only say that the Kuomintang will be defeated, that is Providence, and the will of the people is Providence. Later generations interpreted some coincidences as providence, which only added a bit of mystery to those stories, nothing more.
