In late December 1949, the Second Field Command of the People's Liberation Army (PLA)'s Erye Command sent a telegram to Xiao Yongyin, deputy commander of the Twelfth Army of the Third Corps (in fact, he was solely responsible for the Twelfth Army at that time, and he became the founding major general of the People's Republic of China in 1955), and immediately led his troops to coordinate with the Tenth Corps to attack Chengdu.
At that time, Hu Zongnan's Li Wen Corps consisted of seven corps, and they were moving towards the Dayi area in an attempt to continue to flee westward.
Xiao Yongyin immediately made a decision and ordered all three divisions under his command to move closer to Qionglai: You Taizhong's thirty-fourth division was at Chengbeiguan, Xing Rongjie's thirty-fifth division was guarding Nanguan, Li Desheng's thirty division was stuck in Dongguan, and three divisions were in the shape of a character, looking at Li Wen's corps in Xinjin.
Li Wen dog jumped the wall in a hurry, and even sent his Ninetieth Army to sneak into Qionglai City in an attempt to take down Xiao Yongyin's Twelfth Army headquarters.
However, he never expected that on this day, the war situation had changed significantly. After the 18th Corps of the People's Liberation Army and its friendly and neighboring troops annihilated the remnants of the enemy, they were advancing step by step from the direction of Chengdu and Jianyang, and Li Wenbu was under siege.
In order to buy time to break through, Li Wen used a ruse to put up a small white flag in the south of Qionglai City and sent his chief of staff, Chen Ming, to "negotiate" with the Platon.
Chen Ming was received by Wu Xiaoxian, deputy commander of the 106th Regiment of the 36th Division of the People's Liberation Army.
As soon as Chen Ming saw Wu Xiaoxian, he proposed, "We, Commander Li, want to negotiate with you, please take me to see you Commander Liu (Bocheng). ”
Wu Xiaoxian scornfully "snorted": "Hmm, the general of the defeated army, and the face says that he wants to see us Commander Liu?" ”
Chen Ming's head was tilted, and his face was full of contempt, as if to show his attitude: General Ben does not talk to you, a rude junior officer.
"Yuck!" Wu Xiaoxian took a sharp bite at the ground, causing Chen Ming to be sent to the military headquarters.
Chen Ming, who was dressed in a general uniform, entered the headquarters of the Twelfth Army, still extremely arrogant, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he was arrogant and domineering: "Invite you Commander Liu, I will negotiate with him!" ”
Xiao Yongyin was angry and funny: "Why is Commander Liu here?" He was in Chongqing. ”
"Then you can get the commander of your corps!"
Xiao Yongyin frowned and said, "The commander of the corps is not here either." ”
"What about the commander?" Chen Ming was obviously very dissatisfied, and his tone had improved a lot.
"The commander didn't come either!" Xiao Yongyin was angry, took a step forward to Chen Ming, put his hands back, and a pair of angry eyes stared at Chen Ming majestically for a while. Chen Ming couldn't help but be shocked by his boldness and lowered his eyelids.
"I am the supreme commander of the front line, and I am solely responsible for this!" If you want to talk, just talk about it here; if you don't talk about it, don't talk nonsense, let's continue to fight! "Xiao Yongyin's attitude is very tough.
Chen Ming was helpless, took off his gloves and sat down, and then said with vigor and words: "In order to avoid the two armies from doing more senseless bloodshed, Commander Li took the overall situation as the most important and decided to revolt on the spot..."
Xiao Yongyin said angrily, "Uprising? But your ninetieth army is launching an offensive against us, and this is what you call an uprising? ”
Chen Ming also wanted to forcibly defend himself: "It is like this, the Ninety Army has lost contact with the corps headquarters, and they have not received orders for a ceasefire. ”
Founding Major General Xiao Yongyin
Of course, Xiao Yongyin did not believe this, and sneered and said, "Oh? In this case, then we don't have to say anything polite to the Ninety Army! ”
Then he stared at Chen Ming and said, "If you really want to revolt, you can revolt in Chengdu!" But you didn't have it at all, and you fought while you fled, and when you got here, you remembered the uprising? Now, there is only one way before you, and that is to lay down your arms, which is equivalent to finally doing something good for the people. Otherwise, you are guilty of a crime and must pay the price accordingly! ”
Seeing that the "negotiations" had broken down, Chen Ming stood up helplessly: "Well, I will go back and report these situations to Commander Li one by one..."
Xiao Yongyin waved his hand: "No need to go back, you can report to you Chief Li on the phone!" Tonight I'll be sorry for you to stay here and see a good play. ”
You Taizhong, Xing Rongjie, Li Desheng
"What's the big deal?" Chen Ming asked in amazement.
"Let's see how one of my divisions can take over your ninety army!" How about this play? ”
Immediately after that, Xiao Yongyin gave an order on the phone: "Old You (You Taizhong), you call the Ninety Army headquarters tonight." Putting down the microphone, he waited for the good news.
From the time Xiao Yongyin heard the sound of gunfire in the direction of the Thirty-fourth Division, less than an hour later, the Thirty-fourth Division sent the number one prisoner, the commander of the Ninety Army.
At this time, Chen Ming was "invited" to the headquarters of the Twelfth Army again, and Xiao Yongyin said indifferently: "Your Ninety Army has been wiped out by us." ”
Chen Ming glanced at the other party, looked at himself calmly, and seemed to dismiss this "lie".
Xiao Yongyin smiled slightly, "Bring the captives in!" ”
The commander of the Ninety Army appeared in front of the chief of staff of the corps with a gray face, Chen Ming glared at him fiercely, lowered his head, and the commander of the Ninety Army was taken down.
"Don't try to engage in any more fake negotiations!" Xiao Yongyin turned to Chen Ming and said solemnly, "I can let you go now and go to discuss with Li Wen, do you want to continue to fight or honestly surrender?" If you are willing to lay down your arms, our army warmly welcomes you. But if you still want to play any tricks, don't blame us for being rude! ”
Sending away the "guests," Xiao Yongyin smoked a cigarette and meditated on the large military wall chart on the wall, in the smoke, Li Wenbing had been buried in the whirlpool of our army's red arrows.
After thinking about it again and again, Xiao Yongyin suddenly thought, "According to the current situation, it is entirely possible that we will destroy Li Wenbing, so why are we still negotiating with them?" Isn't that a waste of time? ”
He suddenly realized, immediately grabbed the microphone, and ordered the Thirty-sixth Division 106 Regiment: "You are the closest to Li Wen's headquarters, plus the 108 regiment, you go to take out Li Wen's headquarters tonight, and you must capture him alive!" ”
At that time, Li Wen also had a telephone conversation between his headquarters and the 106th Regiment, in an attempt to buy time for him to lead his troops to break through in the name of discussing the details of the surrender.
However, with Xiao Yongyin's order, the Thirty-sixth Division went out in full force, hitting Li Wen by surprise, and at two o'clock in the morning that night, Li Wen was forced to surrender to the People's Liberation Army.
Suddenly, several of the enemy's armies were leaderless and were eaten one by one by the PLA troops, and Li Wen's regiment, which had seven armies, was completely annihilated.
When I saw Xiao Yongyin again, Chen Ming, who was dejected, was completely convinced of him: "Commander Xiao, you first killed one of our armies in a division, and then you commanded an army to crush our seven armies. ”
