China's modern history is a history of war, at the end of the Qing Dynasty, it was invaded by great powers, and then the Japanese invasion set off a vigorous War of Resistance Against Japan, and it was difficult to end the War of Resistance and then came the War of Liberation, the most famous of which was the Battle of Menglianggu. Let's talk about the fierce battle commanded by Su Yu, 100,000 people surrounded and beat up the 74th Division and 30,000, and the people could not go up the mountain for three years.
General Su Yu is a famous general of our army, he is good at fighting battles that many people dare not fight, and he has also won victories, and he is a general in our army who has a very outstanding ability to lead the battle, and the battle that made him famous in the first battle is this very tragic Battle of MengLianggu. In this battle, 270,000 soldiers of the East China Field Army poured out of the nest, of which more than 100,000 people were sent to attack the reorganized 74th Division of the Nationalist Army, and the remaining soldiers blocked other Nationalist troops who rushed to help, and finally completely annihilated the reorganized 74th Army, and the division commander Zhang Lingfu was also killed.
The strength of the reorganized 74th Army is not insignificant; they themselves are the first of the five ace armies of the Nationalist Army, and Lao Jiang is very generous to them; the entire unit is equipped with American weapons, which are much more advanced than the weapons in the hands of the People's Liberation Army. However, the reorganized 74th Division only has more than 30,000 people, and the number of people on the PLA side is more than that of the integrated 74th Division, and our army has also made the correct choice, separating the reorganized 74th Division from the left and right troops, thus becoming a lone army.
The battle was fought very fiercely, and both sides came and went, but neither side was able to gain absolute superiority. Zhang Lingfu used the reorganized 74th Division as bait to attract Huaye's main force and buy time for Xuzhou's 450,000 troops. However, the subsequent development was different from what he thought, after the encirclement of the integrated 74th Division, except for a few troops such as Huang Baitao, they did not receive assistance from the rest of the troops.
However, even when the ammunition ran out, the reorganized 74th Division still struggled to resist, the soldiers on both sides kept falling, and many of our army's tough generals also went to the battlefield to command, and in the end, our army won the victory. Because the war was so fierce, the mountains were full of soldiers' corpses, and the people did not dare to go up the mountain for several years.
