In February 1947, about 50,000 troops of the Li Xianzhou Heavy Army Group mobilized by Wang Yaowu of the 2nd Appeasement District in the General Sequence of the Xuzhou Suppression of the Nationalist Army in Laiwu County were devastated by the PLA Huaye, and in just over 2 days they were wiped out by the PLA, and even Li Xianzhou, who was the supreme commander in charge of the command and then deputy commander of the 2nd Appeasement District, was also captured by Hua Ye, and Wang Yaowu, the commander of the 2nd Appeasement District who was far away after learning the news in Jinan, exclaimed loudly: "It is 50,000 pigs." The communists could not finish it in 3 days. But in fact, after only 63 hours of resistance by The Li Xianzhou Heavy Army Group in Laiwu County, after stubbornly resisting and losing more than 10,000 soldiers according to the fortifications in the county town, more than 40,000 soldiers and horses who tried to break through came out of the wilderness outside the city and encountered the attack of Huaye's ambush troops, and they scattered, and the Kuomintang army that ran all over the mountains was captured by Huaye, who was good at moving to annihilate the enemy.
In January 1947, in the "Battle of Lunan" plan formulated by the Nationalist Army, 23 reorganized divisions were mobilized to launch an attack on Linyi, ---, the capital of Huaye Shandong, of which 8 reorganized divisions on the southern front were under the jurisdiction of the Ouzhen Group from Taierzhuang, Xin'an Town, and Chengtou to the north, and the Li Xianzhou Group on the northern front had 3 reorganized divisions from the Boshan and Mingshui areas to the south, in an attempt to annihilate the main combat troops of the People's Liberation Army huaye in the first world war, in addition to 8 reorganized divisions responsible for the garrison of the Longhai, Jinpu, and Jiaoji railway lines. Also dispatched 3 integrated divisions gathered in the southwestern region of Lu, in an attempt to cut off the connection between Huaye and Nakano and mutual rescue, the national army's combat plan to mobilize troops is very strong, the deployment is very thorough, in the main direction of the nationalist army, that is, the Linyi area of the European Earthquake Group attacking the north, Huaye encountered unprecedented pressure, almost all the main forces are concentrated in this direction, but still in an extremely inferior position in terms of strength and weapons and equipment, in order to avoid the enemy's sharp troops, Hua Ye Noji left two columns, the 2nd Column and the 3rd Column, to make feints on the southern front to attract most of the Nationalist troops, while the main force turned to the north and made a long-distance attack, raiding the Li Xianzhou Heavy Army Group on the northern line of the Nationalist Army in the Mengyin and Xintai areas.
At the beginning of the battle, this heavy army group seized the empty favorable fighters in the rear of Huaye, and attacked all the way south without any pause, and rushed more than 200 kilometers in less than a week to reach the Laiwu area. When Huaye's main force turned around and moved north, the reorganized 46th Division of Li Xianzhou's heavy army group was at the forefront of Mengyin and Xintai, while the reorganized 73rd Division had also arrived at Yanzhuang, and the large troops, including the reorganized 12th Division, were stationed in Laiwu County. Due to the rapid speed of the advance advance, the logistics supply line of Li Xianzhou's heavy army group was lengthened, and after advancing to the Laiwu area, it entered the terrain of the Luzhong Mountains, and the follow-up advance appeared to be less smooth, and after 7 days and 7 nights of the hidden and rapid march of huaye's main force, it launched a surprise attack on the front-line Kuomintang army and achieved miraculous results, so that the wrongly defended reorganized 46th Division and the reorganized 73rd division urgently retreated back to the Laiwu area, while Huaye's main attack force continued to advance north along both sides of Laiwu County. Shunshi surrounded nearly 60,000 Nationalist troops in the Laiwu area.
Li Xianzhou's heavy army group of about 60,000 people and horses were densely deployed near Laiwu, tens of thousands of troops consumed grain, grass and heavy materials needed greatly, under the siege of Huaye's 5 columns, the 60,000 defenders in the city suffered huge losses so much that they were unable to defend and were forced to choose to retreat to the north of Tusikou Town, which was the only passage from Laiwu to the north, but at the beginning of the battle, the 77th Division of the reorganized 73rd Division that rescued Laiwu from the Boshan area on the left side of the geographically important Town of Tusikou was first annihilated by the 10th Column of Huaye. As a result, the road from Tusikou Town to the 2nd Suijing District in Jinan Was also cut off, and the road of the reinforcements of the 2nd Suijing District was also blocked, leaving only the newly organized 36th Division of the reorganized 12th Division in Tusikou Town stubbornly clinging to the last retreat artery of the Li Xianzhou Group, but Tusikou Town had a large material warehouse of the Li Xianzhou Group, which collected a huge amount of military supplies, and once the remaining 40,000 or so Nationalist troops retreated to Tusikou to get supplies, such a large number of nationalist troops gathered together. It would be very laborious for HuaYe's main forces in charge of attacking to defeat them in one fell swoop.
Li Xianzhou's heavy army group, which was retreating north of Laiwu County, suffered a serious blow when it first retreated, because Han Liancheng, commander of the reorganized 46th Division, suddenly disappeared. When Li Xianzhou walked out of the city, there was only the vanguard of the reorganized 73rd Division and the troops of the reorganized 46th Division around him, and the troops of the reorganized 46th Division were not traced, and the original breakthrough plan of the two ends advancing in unison collapsed in an instant, and the reorganized 46th Division, which withdrew from the city after the city gate was opened, in the absence of effective command, almost like a scattered soldier wandering, also gradually dispersed other well-organized troops, although Li Xianzhou tried his best to gather the troops, but at this time it was difficult to control, so in the cold wind whistling, unobstructed land, The muddy road leading to Tusikou Town was full of cars, horse-drawn carriages, and rubber wagons filled with heavy materials, as well as a contingent of officers and men of the Nationalist Army who were eager to flee for their lives, and after encountering the all-round raid of the Huaye 9th Column, some nationalist officers and men fled everywhere without firing a shot, so that the pursuit and annihilation battle that several columns of Huaye had expected turned into a prisoner-capture battle, and in less than a few hours, the more than 40,000 Kuomintang troops who had retreated in a hurry were all captured by the PLA, and the Laiwu Campaign was over.
In particular, Wang Yaowu's commander of the 2nd Appeasement District, after learning the news that Li Xianzhou's heavy army group had been completely annihilated, he was saddened that he beat his chest and gritted his teeth, and the he who relied on li Xianzhou, a close confidant general, was actually captured alive by Hua Ye, and more importantly, the "Battle of Lunan" plan formulated by the Nationalist army was also aborted, and the battlefield situation between the north and the south did not appear in the end, but it was a loss of troops; and the Platon's side was quite fruitful. While smashing the Kuomintang army's north-south attack on the main forces, Huaye captured a large number of military supplies to enrich the strength of the combat troops, and successively captured more than a dozen county towns such as Laiwu and Zichuan, connecting the liberated areas of Bohai, Luzhong, and Jiaoji.
