The enemy's lone army is deep, and the commander of our army: eat this piece of "fat meat" sent to the mouth and win the first big victory
At 22:00 on the evening of February 13, 1946, in the quiet of the night, two signal flares rose in the air, and then, the loud military trumpets broke through the night sky, and the first annihilation battle after the Northeast Democratic Coalition Army left the customs began.
The location of this battle was in Xiushui Hezi, which was also the first time since the Northeast Democratic Coalition Army left the customs to conduct a large-scale offensive and defensive battle with the main forces of the Kuomintang.
At this time, Chiang Kai-shek and the generals of the Kuomintang army were very contemptuous of the strength of our Northeast Democratic Coalition Army.
Therefore, the attempt was made to sweep away the Democratic Coalition Army around XiushuiHezi with 5 battalions of troops, far from the main force.
The commander of the Northeast Coalition Army heard the enemy coming to the door, and it was 5 battalions far away from the main force to sweep up, and the commander, who has always been bad at words, said four words:
"Don't measure up!"
The Democratic Coalition Army near XiushuiHezi, the 7th Brigade of Peng Mingzhi of the Third Division of the New Fourth Army, and the 1st Division of Liang Xingchu of the Shandong Military Region, quickly surrounded the reinforced regiment of the 89th Division of the Kuomintang Enemy 13th Army, which had already occupied XiushuiHezi.
"Eat this piece of fat that comes to your mouth!"
After the battle began, the Kuomintang army was intensive in firepower and occupied favorable terrain, and our army's offensive was frustrated.
Therefore, our army chose to attack at night.
Night combat is our army's chief, and at the same time, it is close to the enemy and hand-to-hand combat, and the enemy's superiority in weapons and equipment cannot play a role.
At 7 a.m. on 14 February, the Democratic Coalition successfully occupied the enemy positions.
This piece of "fat meat" included the annihilation of all 1,500 enemy troops, the capture of 38 artillery pieces, more than 800 guns, more than 70,000 rounds of ammunition, more than 30 cars, and 2 radio stations.
This was the first victory of the Democratic Coalition Army in the northeast of the war of annihilation, and it was also the first major victory after the main forces of the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army left the border.
