Before the Battle of Pingjin in 1948, the Liaoshen Campaign broke out, which on the one hand annihilated a large number of northeastern nationalist forces and reversed the gap in the comparison of troops, on the other hand, it was also a psychological deterrent to the remaining Kuomintang troops. Among them, Fu Zuoyi, commander-in-chief of the Beiping Dynasty, is represented by fu zuoyi, the psychological burden is particularly heavy, and the most worrying thing is that the main force of Dongye enters the customs, Fu Zuoyi's department is reluctant to carry his own foundation, and the warlord's psychology is relatively heavy, but under the balance, it is difficult to match Dongye and the surrounding troops of our army, and it is in a state of difficulty in riding a tiger. Fu Zuoyi had an ace unit under his command, the 35th Army, and the commander was his old subordinate, his confidant Guo Jingyun.
Guo Jingyun participated in the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, made neutral achievements in the Winter Offensive, and was also a famous anti-Japanese general. His 35th Army had nearly 30,000 troops at that time, which was Fu Zuoyi's heart and liver treasure. Guo Jingyun can fight, has a fierce temper, and is also very confident in his own troops, claiming to be the strongest fighting force in the country. This sentence is not empty, he has the capital of cattle. Although Fu Zuoyi's troops were not Chiang Kai-shek's Central Army, these generals on one side held the financial power of the other side, and in order to consolidate their rule, they had to establish a strong armed force, and the 35th Army was Fu Zuoyi's Imperial Forest Army, with first-class weapons and equipment and soldier quality, and heavy artillery and tanks were readily available. This is also the reason why Fu Zuoyi refused to revolt at the end of 1948, and he still had quite a family foundation in his hands, and since this was the case, our army would have to destroy his most valuable family foundation.
In November 1948, Guo Jingyun's 35th Army was besieged in the new security city, in fact, the 35th Army had the opportunity to break through, if on the combat effectiveness of a single army, the 35th Army really belonged to the elite troops of the Nationalist Army at that time, as long as it engaged our army head-on, regardless of whether it was won or lost, there would be heavy casualties on our side, there was no doubt about this. At this time, Guo Jingyun's problem was committed again, he thought that turning to friendly troops would fall into a laughing stock, he was himself an elite, how could he let the surrounding reinforcements receive help and shelter? So he not only did not listen to the advice of An Chunshan, the commander-in-chief of the nearby Shanxi Theater, but also scolded his superiors and hardened his heart to guard the new security guards. He told his subordinates that the two words of security were very auspicious, and if they insisted on keeping it, Commander-in-Chief Fu Zuoyi would come to the rescue. At that time, the 35th Army was already besieged by the Northeast Field Army and the North China Field Corps, which had the superior strength of our side, but what was more puzzling was that our army actually did not take the initiative to launch an attack for Guo Jingyun's troops for 1 month.
It turned out that the central authorities were waiting for the main force of the Northeast Field Army to take their place, and our purpose in fighting a battle was naturally not just to eat Guo Jingyun and the 35th Army, surround Fu Zuoyi of Beiping and Chen Changjie of Tianjin, and force them to surrender. If he first ate the 35th Army, Fu Zuoyi would be prone to psychological collapse and lead the army to withdraw to the south, causing greater trouble to the liberation process. Wait until December after the Dongye army besieged Peiping. Our army launched a new security campaign and surrounded and annihilated all the 35th Army (killing, wounding and capturing 30,000 enemy troops), Guo Jingyun took out a gun and committed suicide at the last moment when the new security was lost, and in order to encircle and annihilate the 35th Army, our army also paid huge casualties, which shows that the strength of the 35th Army in that year should not be underestimated. After the defeat of Guo Jingyun, it was the great battle to liberate Pingjin.
