The commander decided to break through with 4 divisions, and he urged the loss of one division, resulting in the total annihilation of the 100,000 troops

On November 25, 1948, the 120,000 horses of Huang Wei's corps were surrounded by Liu Deng's army in a small area centered on the double pile. At this time, Huang Wei had only been in office for more than three months, and he was still forced to take office as the commander of the corps. When the 12th Corps was formed, Huang Wei was engaged in education at the Wuhan Army School, and he did a good job. Therefore, when Chen Cheng recommended him to be the commander, he was rejected by Huang Wei, and He Yingqin also opposed Huang Wei as the commander, and his reason was that "it is not appropriate for a scholar to be a soldier." ”

However, Chiang Kai-shek took a fancy to Huang Wei's loyalty and ability, and summoned him many times, but Huang Wei had no choice but to agree, and before leaving, he also said to Chiang Kai-shek: "When this battle is over, I will come back to run my military academy!" ”。 However, this wish of his could no longer be fulfilled, and at this time his troops were tightly surrounded by 7 columns of Nakano, and the situation was not good. Huang Wei learned the lesson of Huang Baitao, he knew that it was impossible to hold on, and it was impossible to wait for reinforcements, so he decided to break through immediately.

The specific plan is to draw one main division from each of the four corps, and then open a way for the whole corps to advance in parallel with the strength of the four divisions. Objectively speaking, Huang Wei's move was very clever, at that time Nakano did not have many heavy weapons, and some troops had not even completed the fortifications, if Huang Wei suddenly moved at this time, the probability of success in the breakthrough was still very large. After the plan was formulated, Huang Wei encountered a difficult problem, that is, none of the four division commanders who served as the task of breaking through were willing to take the lead.

In the Kuomintang army, the troops are the capital that every general relies on to survive, if his own troops are exhausted, there will be nothing, and taking the lead means being the first to be attacked by the People's Liberation Army, so no one is willing to accept this task. Huang Wei saw that everyone was silent, and when he was preparing to point the general, Liao Yunzhou, commander of the 110th Division of the 85th Army, stood up and took the initiative to undertake this task. Huang Wei was very touched, he said: "Brother Yun Zhou, good classmate! The party-state needs your spirit of sacrifice, and after the matter is completed, I will ask for credit for you in front of the principal! ”。“ Thank you Commander for cultivating", Liao Yunzhou continued: "Is there still a word that the inferior post does not know when to talk about it inappropriately?" ”

Huang Wei nodded and signaled Liao Yunzhou to continue, "Beizhi feels that it is better to use three divisions to break through four divisions, and the main division of the 18th Army is the starting unit of General Chen. It would be better to keep this division as a reserve and move with the corps. Huang Wei saw liao yunzhou thinking about himself everywhere, what reason was there not to agree? So in the end, he decided to change the breakthrough plan of four divisions advancing in tandem to Liao Yunzhou's 110th Division to take the lead, and the other two divisions followed, and the corps was behind. Unexpectedly, this change cost the entire corps of 100,000 troops, Liao Yunzhou led his troops to revolt on the battlefield soon after the departure, and the two divisions that followed up could not open the breakthrough point at all due to the thin strength of the troops, and finally Huang Wei's 12 corps was completely destroyed in the double pile, and he himself became a prisoner of the People's Liberation Army.
