In September 1949, after the victory of the Second and Fourth Field Armies in Changde, the 139th Division of the 47th Army of The Fourth Field Army was ordered to liberate Dayong.
Although Dayong is only a small county, it is located between the lofty mountains and mountains, and the terrain is very dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack. In order to defend Dayong to the death, Song Xilian, a famous general of the Jiang army, ordered Zhang Shaoxun, commander of the 122nd Army, to take two divisions to sit here.
Zhang Shaoxun laid out heavy troops on the outskirts of Dayong, thinking that Dayong City was impregnable.
Unexpectedly, the People's Liberation Army launched a surprise attack from October 16, quickly annihilating the enemy on the periphery, and then encircling Zhang Shaoxun's main force in Dayong City.
Yan Taiyun, commander of the first battalion of the 417th Regiment, was a commander of both wisdom and courage, and in the face of the current enemy situation, he had a bold idea in his mind: Take advantage of the enemy's chaos, take a reinforced platoon, disguise himself into the city, quietly attack the enemy's military headquarters, beat them in a center, and cooperate with the main force to surround and annihilate the enemy in the city.
As soon as this idea was proposed, it was approved by the head of the regiment.
At 9 o'clock that night, Yan Taiyun and a platoon of commanders and fighters of the Three Companies changed into the uniforms of Chiang Kai-shek's army that had recently been captured, quietly infiltrated the city of Dayong, and quickly approached a small horizontal street near the river at the south gate.
At this time, the city was full of chaos, and these "uninvited guests" led by Yan Taiyun took advantage of the night to swing into the streets, without attracting the attention of the enemy at all.
Yan Taiyun was worried about how to find the enemy's army headquarters, when suddenly there was a rush of footsteps not far ahead, only to see five black shadows walking towards this side.
Yan Taiyun immediately told Hu Xiangzhong, the second squad leader next to him, to prepare to subdue the enemy with his hands.
When the five black shadows approached, Yan Taiyun "clicked" and pulled open the submachine gun bolt and whispered, "Stop! ”
The five black shadows were stunned, standing still and did not dare to move.
Yan Taiyun pointed his gun at them and whispered, "We are the People's Liberation Army, don't make a sound!" Who is leading the team? ”
"I," said one of them in a trembling voice after a moment's hesitation, "I... I am Adjutant Yang of the Military Department..."
Yan Taiyun was secretly happy in his heart, and immediately ordered Adjutant Yang to take them to the headquarters of the 122nd Army.
Ten minutes later, Deputy Yang led Yan Taiyun and the others to a building, saying that this was Dayong Middle School, and the 122nd Army Headquarters was here.
Fortunately, there was only one sentry standing guard at the gate, and there was an acquaintance of Deputy Yang who led the way, and the crowd did not bother to hand over the sentry's gun and continue to break inside.
After entering Dayong Middle School, Yan Taiyun ordered the first and third squads to hide well and be responsible for monitoring the enemy; the artillery squad set up the cannons and aimed them at the military headquarters, and immediately opened fire as soon as there was any movement; the second squad followed him to find the 122nd Army Headquarters.
After a while, Yan Taiyun saw a large house, which was brightly lit and noisy, and seemed to be arguing about something, with only a few guards guarding the door.
Yan Taiyun turned back and waved his hand, and the second shift split into two ways to surround the room.
The guards blocked Yan Taiyun, who was walking in the front, and asked, "What for?" ”
Yan Taiyun said loudly, "I am a representative of the People's Liberation Army and have come to negotiate with your commander." ”
As soon as his voice dropped, the warriors brushed their guns at the enemy, and several guards were frightened.
The captain of the guard squad saw that the situation was not good, and tentatively said: "It is okay to negotiate, but your gun must be kept." ”
Yan Taiyun smiled slightly, "No problem! Stay and stay, anyway, your military headquarters are surrounded by us. ”
Immediately after that, he gave Hu Xiangzhong a look, handed the pistol to the enemy guards, and strode into the room.
Everyone in the room saw a stranger walk in and looked at him puzzled.
Yan Taiyun glanced at the people in the room with a majestic gaze and asked sharply, "Who is the military commander?" ”
A cold voice floated over: "What do you do?" ”
Yan Taiyun saw that this was a black fat man sitting on a stool, and he concluded that it was most likely Zhang Shaoxun, commander of the 122nd Army, and then replied in a loud voice: "I am a representative of the People's Liberation Army!" ”
Zhang Shaoxun sighed for a moment, and everyone in the room looked at each other.
Zhang Shaoxun also pretended to be calm, looked up and down at Yan Taiyun, and laughed: "What are you here for?" ”
"Order you to surrender your guns!" Yan Taiyun said emphatically.
"Surrender? How can it be! I have more than 5,000 miles under me!" ”
"What's the use of a few thousand people?" Your military headquarters are surrounded by our People's Liberation Army! ”
"No... No way...... You can't come so fast..." Yan Taiyun smiled hesitantly, "Can you still see you as a military commander when you come slowly?" ”
Yan Taiyun stood up violently and said stubbornly, "Even if I am surrounded by you, I can fight out..."
"It's too late!" Yan Taiyun was really on fire, and shouted to the outside of the house: "Second squad leader! Put the gun on the rack! ”
Only a "faint noise" could be heard, and many black barrels were inserted into the window.
Yan Taiyun shouted, "Surrender your gun!" ”
Zhang Shaoxun stretched out his hands and sat paralyzed in a chair, but he could not speak.
A slender enemy officer bent down and said to Zhang Shaoxun, "Junza, now that the matter has come to an end, forget it!" We are surrounded. ”
Zhang Shaoxun looked up at the sky with a long sigh and helplessly accepted this fact: "I have been in the army for 23 years, I have made countless military achievements, and I have not been able to become the commander of the major general, and I never imagined that I would fall to this point today!" ”
Subsequently, the enemy in the house all surrendered their guns. In addition to Zhang Shaoxun, xie Shuzhou, commander of the 217th Division, and Huang Dingxun, commander of the 345th Division, were also taken prisoner.
At this point, the People's Liberation Army only dispatched one platoon, but under the command of Yan Taiyun, it cleverly captured the enemy commander alive, and 5,000 enemy troops fell without a fight!
The 416th and 417th Regiments of the People's Liberation Army took advantage of the situation to attack the city and divide the enemy into several pieces. Although the enemy army had a crowd of 5,000 people, it immediately collapsed because of the loss of command, and fell without a fight. By the time of more than 10 hours that night, Dayong was officially liberated.
