In April 1946, after the success of the Second Baobenxi of the Self-Army, Du Yuming, commander of the Northeast Security Command, 'parachuted' into Shenyang and succeeded Xiong Shihui in command of the northeast war. On April 27, Du Yuming ordered Liao Yaoxiang to lead 100,000 elite troops to attack Benxi again: the 52nd Army attacked from the left road to the south, the New 6th Army from the middle road to the east, and the 71st Army's 88th Division from the right road to the east (because the commander of the 71st Army, Chen Mingren, was in Shenyang, and the 88th Division was temporarily commanded by Liao Yaoxiang).
At this time, the defenders of Benxi only had the 4th Column and the 3rd Column 9th Brigade of the Northeast Democratic Coalition Army. In the face of the incoming enemy forces, the 4th Column laid out a very tight defense after careful consultation. On 1 May, the Nationalists began to attack. In the fierce battle, the nationalist troops on the middle and right roads fought inextricably with our army, but the defense on the left road seemed to be slightly weaker, and the 52nd Army 'took the opportunity' to capture Benxi. At this point, Benxi had been lost, and the troops responsible for defending the 52nd Army took the initiative to move.
On this day, the Nationalist side was naturally "full of good news," and Du Yuming, who was in charge of commanding the war, was also overjoyed. Who knew that at this time, an interesting thing happened, Liao Yaoxiang called from the Benxi front to complain: "Hu Jiaji, commander of the 88th Division, disobeyed the command!" ”
"Why didn't he obey the command?" Du Yuming asked casually. Because there are too many such "dog bites dog" things in the national army, whenever there is a war, it will happen, and the complaints from subordinates will be multiplied. Seeing more, he was not strange, and in his heart he still blamed Liao Yaoxiang for not measuring big enough.
"I ordered him to lead his troops to attack the communist army through the south bank of the Prince River, and soon after he went out, he did not move, and he quarreled with me, and now he left his troops alone." Liao Yaoxiang replied. "How can you ignore the law?" Du Yuming still asked easily.
"Everyone else has run away, and the troops are now leaderless."
Liao Yaoxiang
"This is really an authentic rabbit." As soon as Du Yuming heard this, the fire came up and he roared angrily at Liao Yaoxiang: "The war is so tense, how dare he Hu Jiaji leave a division alone?" You hurry up and get him back! ”
"Where am I going to look for it?" It is too late to find him now, only to quickly adjust the deployment, otherwise the communist army will run away! Liao Yaoxiang was also crying.
"It's not a question of whether to run or not to run, but a question of whether the 88th Division will be eaten by the communists!" Du Yuming is the leader after all, thinking about the problem more far and more comprehensively. With this said, Du Yuming was also startled by himself, in case the communist army found the 'weakness' of the 88th Division, it would be a bad thing, so he urgently ordered the 52nd Army to attack and advance.
Du Yuming
Just when Du Yuming was worried, Hu Jiaji's 'rabbit' came to complain: "Liao Yaoxiang's command was unfair, and he pressed all the combat tasks on our 88th Division, while his new 6th Army almost did not move, and our 88th Division was exhausted and could not take another step forward!" ”
Du Yuming drank, "After the battle, I will order you to immediately take command of the division and make meritorious atonement for your sins." ”
The rabbit will bite people when he is anxious, not to mention that this Hu Jiaji is still a stunned qing, he insisted on disobeying the order, saying: "I am now going back to the white ride, the 88th Division is almost exhausted, I can't complete the task." ”
When Du Yuming saw that he could not command a division commander, he was immediately very angry and shouted, "Come, take Hu Jiaji down for me!" So Hu Jiaji was tied up and dragged out. Subsequently, Du Yuming appointed his brother-in-law and nephew Han Zengdong as the commander of the 88th Division.
Chen Mingren
The 88th Division was subordinate to the 71st Army, and the commander of the 71st Army, Chen Mingren, was also a famous thorn in the Nationalist Army and had quarrels with chiang kai-shek. When he heard that Du Yuming had actually 'favoritism' in appointing Han Zengdong as the commander of the 88th Division, he immediately slapped his face on the table and angrily shouted: "Du Yuming, this bastard, the 71st Army has changed division commanders, and even I, the commander of the army, don't even know about me, the commander, is there any reason?" ”
As a result, these two famous players with similar qualifications fought with red necks. Just as the two were fighting, Liao Yaoxiang, who was leading the way in the middle road, also entered Benxi. At this point, the 4th Column Defenders calmly retreated and moved to the area of Lianshanguan on the south peak of Anshen Road, and the Battle of Sanbao Benxi also ended here.
