Nine deadly bandit battles
Bai Yuzhen, a native of Yangcheng County, Shanxi, was born in October 1927, joined the army in 1942, joined the army in April 1944, and joined the Party in 1947. He has successively served as platoon commander, deputy instructor, instructor, deputy instructor, instructor, deputy political commissar and political commissar of the Ministry of People's Armed Forces, representative of the First Army of the 821st Atomic Bomb Experimental Base of China Nuclear Industry, and political commissar of the Cadre Rest Center in the Southeast Jindongnan region of the Beijing Military Region. He participated in the Battle of the Transitional River and the Battle of Huaihai, the suppression of bandits in Jiangxi, Yunnan, and Hunan, and the liberation of Guangdong, Guangxi, Hubei, and the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea. He was awarded the "Independence Freedom Medal", "Liberation Medal of the Third Degree", "Independence Medal" and so on. He is now a retired cadre of the Shanxi Provincial Military Region's Changzhi Retired Cadre Recuperation Center.
In 1948, I was the instructor of the guard company of the Chen Geng Corps of the Second Field Army. In November, he took part in the Battle of Huaihai. The Battle of Huaihai was one of the three major battles during the Liberation War, and was a major decisive battle between the 600,000 of the Chinese People's Liberation Army and 800,000 of the Kuomintang. The campaign was launched on November 6, 1948, and ended on January 10, 1949. After 66 days of fierce fighting, our army annihilated a total of 555,000 enemy troops with 130,000 casualties, and this battle basically liberated the Central Plains of East China north of the Yangtze River. In the Battle of Huaihai, our unit was responsible for attacking Huang Wei's corps, annihilating more than 1,200 people and capturing more than 1,000 weapons of various kinds. I was wounded in many places during this battle, and I was honored with a great contribution.
In April 1949, Chairman Mao Zedong and Commander-in-Chief Zhu De issued an order to march to the whole country, and our unit forcibly crossed the Yangtze River and attacked Shuangduiji. Before dawn, the enemy sent 7 battalions of troops, under the cover of artillery, to launch 15 consecutive onslaughts on our positions, with a menacing, ferocious and stubborn force, and the goal was to destroy our troops. In the face of the desperate and stubborn enemy, all the combatants of our unit did not flinch, but on the contrary, they ignited the passion for fighting even more. After three days and three nights of fierce fighting, the arrogance of the enemy was dealt a heavy blow and the enemy's key attack on the double pile was crushed. This battle greatly boosted the morale of the army, and the excitement and excitement in the hearts of the comrades-in-arms were indescribable, and I was even more determined to follow the party in the revolution.
Subsequently, according to the order, our unit entered Jiangxi, Yunnan, Guizhou, Hunan, and Hubei to participate in the battle against bandits. The bandits at that time were scattered Kuomintang troops, not only well-trained, but also well-equipped. In one battle, our unit marched for two consecutive nights and one day, standing by in a ravine. At that time, the troops did not bring dry food, and could only eat boiled corn kernels, and each person ate half a bowl of corn kernels. Early the next morning, without breakfast, the troops entered the opposite position where the bandits were guarding the hill. Due to the heavy rain the day before, the troops had a very difficult time walking, the road was slippery, and the troops were walking in the primeval forest, their clothes and shoes soaked. We could clearly see the bandits on the opposite side digging fortifications on the hill. Late that night, I led two soldiers to quietly go up the hill to eavesdrop on the enemy's password, and after hearing the password, I slowly touched the enemy's forward reconnaissance, found out the enemy's military deployment, and brought a decision-making basis for our unit to successfully capture the enemy's position. More than 200 bandits were captured in the battle, and enemy guns and food were also captured.
After that, our unit took part in the arduous battle to liberate the southwest. At that time, the people of Guangdong and Guangxi were devastated by bandit warlords, living in deep waters and desperately longing for liberation. Because the bandit warlords are very familiar with the terrain and environment, it has brought great difficulties to the fight against bandits. The bandit warlords are very cruel and dangerous, and our struggle against the enemy is very complex and fierce, and we will encounter various situations at any time. At that time, our unit had just finished fighting with the regular Kuomintang troops, and the troops were in a period of fatigue, but in order to achieve the lofty goal of "liberating all Of China," the officers and men of our unit, in the face of day-to-day hardships and death threats, always maintained their firm determination to "liberate all of China," always maintained unlimited loyalty to the party and the people, calmly and calmly maneuvered with the enemy skillfully, fought wits and courage, shuttled through the deep mountains and old forests, and rained down bullets and bullets, escaped under the enemy's guns and bayonets again and again, and persisted in striking at the enemy. After unremitting fighting, the task of suppressing bandits was completed.
