In April 1949, Tao Yong called the director of the Hangzhou Public Security Bureau and asked him to protect the city, and the other party seriously agreed...
In the spring of 1949, Chen Bing, a million-strong army of the People's Liberation Army, was on the north bank of the Yangtze River, ready to cross the river at any time.
At this time, Huaye 4 column was reorganized into the 23rd Army of the Chinese People's Liberation Army, and Tao Yong led the troops to the Taizhou area as the commander.
Back here, Tao Yong had the feeling of returning to his hometown, Taizhou was the revolutionary base of the New Fourth Army during the War of Resistance, and when the villagers learned that Tao Yong had returned, they went to the avenue to welcome them, and scrambled to pull the soldiers to their homes.
There was a white-bearded old man who took Tao Yong's hand, looked left and right, and said, "No change, no change, still the same old way." ”
The fathers and fellow villagers in their hometown were very supportive of Tao Yong's troops, and they sent their sons and husbands to Tao Yong's troops, letting Tao Yong take them across the Yangtze River, and not letting them come back without meritorious service...
In the face of the enthusiastic fathers and fellow villagers, Tao Yong said to the villagers with tears: "Uncles, aunts and uncles, the commanders and fighters of our 23rd Army are all the sons and soldiers of the Soviet Union, and they grew up drinking the water in the Soviet Union. ”
After bidding farewell to his fathers and fellow countrymen, Tao Yong led his troops to the yangtze River...
After observing the terrain on the other side, Tao Yong held a combat meeting and launched a series of preparations before crossing the river...
At 19:30 on April 21, the 23rd Army began to cross the river, and after 23:00, the whole army crossed the river safely, pushed all the way sideways, and was invincible, and the success of the divisions continued.
At dawn on the 24th, Tao Yong received a call from Tan Zhenlin, deputy political commissar of Sanye, that the enemy in Hangzhou was planning to abandon the city and flee south, and HuaYe ordered the 23rd Army to occupy Hangzhou and appoint him as the enemy
Commander of the Hangzhou Garrison.
After Receiving the order, Tao Yong immediately ordered three divisions to advance towards Hangzhou and quickly occupied Hangzhou
Radio stations, prisons, courts and other facilities, but suddenly stopped advancing after the troops arrived at the bottle kiln.
Tao Yong immediately rushed to the front, and Zhang Yunlong, commander of the 68th Division, reported: "A small river several meters wide and several hundred meters long in front of us has blocked the way of the troops and is trying to build a bridge." ”
"Hurry up!"
At this time, Tao Yong observed a thin telephone line above his head,
Pointing directly in the direction of Hangzhou.
Tao Yong immediately ordered: "Quickly use this telephone line of the enemy to connect the telephone line, I will talk to Hangzhou on the phone!" ”
The phone was quickly connected, and an arrogant voice came from the opposite side, "Hey! ”
As soon as he heard a voice on the other side, Tao Yong immediately said loudly: "I am Tao Yong, who are you?" ”
Hearing that it was Tao Yong, the opposite "ah" sounded, looking very surprised, and then carefully said: "I... My name is Supervisor. ”
Tao Yong did not expect that this telephone line was actually connected to the enemy's public security organs, too coincidental, Tao Yong immediately said loudly: "I know that you are the director of public security, you listen, you are not allowed to destroy the people's cities and factories, you must do your best to protect, otherwise the crime will be added to the first!" ”
"Yes... Yes, I will certainly do as your commander says. ”
After putting down the phone, Tao Yong relaxed slightly, and then said to everyone: "The enemy in the city has begun to retreat, you immediately lead the troops to catch up, cut the path to pursue, the faster you run, the less time the enemy will destroy!" ”
……
The 23rd Army occupied the city of Hangzhou, and everyone was very happy, but Tao Yong said solemnly: "Don't patronize Happiness, everything has just begun, and the task is still heavy." First of all, Hangzhou has been liberated, and everything is in ruins to be rebuilt, and social order is a big problem. In addition, it is inevitable that the underground party organization will be mixed, and these need to be solved by us, and we must make Hangzhou more beautiful in our hands, like a people's city. ”
At the same time, Tao Yong also said that there were a small number of reactionary forces left in the city. After the Kuomintang retreated, they seized good houses and good places, and now they still occupy these places, intending to compete with the Platon Army. Finally, Tao Yong proposed that "open guns are easy to hide from dark arrows and difficult to defend", and there are bad people inside to make trouble, and everyone should not take paralysis lightly.
In fact, just as Tao Yong thought, the next day, a group of people of all kinds came to the door, they all had various titles, and they came to negotiate with the People's Liberation Army to jointly take over the city of Hangzhou.
Tao Yong thought for a while, then went out to temporarily appease these people and let them come back the next day, while he specially sent someone to investigate these people who were not in the same place...
The next day Tao Yong invited these people to talks, and the meeting was attended by the commanders of several divisions under the 23rd Army. These people come all kinds of people of all kinds.
Tao Yong spoke first: "Since you claim to be a team, please report your name, number, troop strength, and garrison." ”
These people were not afraid of Tao Yong at all, and one by one they reported their names and numbers. Some claimed to be the "Zhejiang Column of the Democratic League, what kind of "Qiantang Detachment of the Tianmu Mountain Guerrilla Army," and other "coalition forces, when the People's Liberation Army had just entered the city, they really went out on the streets to scatter leaflets and post notices to cooperate with the actions of the 23rd Army, and some even gathered illegal armed forces, just like the posture of a regular army. Among them, Yang Biyong, who claimed to be the commander of the 1st Assault Division of the First Column of the Jiangnan Advance Of the Chinese People's Liberation Army, was very arrogant.
In fact, he was not an advance captain at all, this was a veteran military command agent, which was left with the orders of the Kuomintang agents. But he didn't know that his true identity had already been known to Tao Yong.
Looking at the very arrogant Yang Biyong, Tao Yong really wanted to satirize him a few words, but he thought about it and gave up, at this time, in the conference room, other people of all colors were still arguing.
Tao Yong patted the table, quieted them down, and then said to them: "We are grateful for all the patriotic and anti-Chiang Kai-shek and the righteous actions of our army. We will not only cooperate with all patriotic democratic parties and progressive figures today, but also jointly build a new China in the future. ”
Yang Biyong took the lead in coaxing: "You give us a task, divide the station, and we will support you!" ”
Tao Yong was suddenly happy, slapped the table, raised his voice and shouted: "Appoint you and divide the garrison, it is impossible." China has only one army, and that is the Chinese People's Liberation Army. I am the commander of the Hangzhou Garrison, and we will not recognize your army!"
Who knew that Tao Yong had just finished speaking, and several people on the other side shouted that it was unfair, saying that this was a trick on them, and kept shouting, "We want fame and territory!" ”
Yang Biyong also threatened to find Commander Wang!
Tao Yong said very calmly, "Don't talk about looking for Commander Wang, that is, looking for Commander Chen and Commander Su. But today you will listen to My Command!" If you want to keep your troops, if you want to keep a territory, you can, let's adopt the method of peaceful reorganization! ”
Of course, these people knew what "peaceful reorganization" meant, and they were very reluctant, and in the end, seeing that the general situation had gone, they had to leave in sorrow, and within a day after the meeting, the garrison disarmed many illegal forces.
However, this Yang Biyong refused to surrender, and when he was arrested, he still denied it in every way, only acknowledging his identity as a military commander, but refusing to admit that he had other tasks, but finally he still confessed to the hidden radio operators and radio stations...
Yang Biyong's subordinates had a detachment leader surnamed Zhang, who had been a bandit, thought that he had some martial arts, and his boss was arrested, and he was very dissatisfied, so he took people to the 23rd Army Headquarters to ask for people.
The people who came were armed, and the leaders, fearing that Tao Yong would be injured, advised him not to come forward. However, Tao Yong had to make one last effort, and after seeing him, he preached to them the policy of our army, persuaded them to lay down their weapons, surrender their weapons, and strive for leniency, otherwise, they would be eliminated by force.
However, the surname Zhang still looked murderous, shouting that he could not see his captain, he would rather lie down and go out, he was not good, and he did not want the People's Liberation Army taiping.
Tao Yong saw that he could not persuade him, so he sent a secret signal to the outside, just when the surname Zhang was full of pride and relaxed his vigilance, Tao Yong coughed twice, and soon seven or eight soldiers rushed into the reception room together, pressing Captain Zhang, who had not yet reacted, to the ground...
Tao Yong solved a big problem of entering Hangzhou, but there was also the most important problem, which was placed in front of the soldiers of the People's Liberation Army, and this time it was a real test.
There is Suzhou and Hangzhou under heaven, Hangzhou is indeed a place that can make people lose their souls, here is the old nest of Chiang Kai-shek's Zhejiang consortium, after the Kuomintang withdrew, here there is Chiang Kai-shek's palace, capitalist shops, warehouses, everywhere is a variety of treasures, countless silk and gold and silver jade... There is an addictive world of flowers and flowers here, and when he entered Hangzhou, Tao Yong taught the warriors not to be corroded by this world of flowers and flowers, nor to occupy houses, and not to take things...
Tao Yong temporarily lived in a small western-style building of a capitalist, and Tao Yong, who slept on the bed, could not sleep at all, and the strange thing was that as soon as he slept on the floor, he fell asleep.
Early the next morning, Tao Yong was awakened by a sound of "so fragrant, so fragrant". He hurried over, but found that it was his own guard who was calling, and out of curiosity, he opened the various French perfumes in front of him and sniffed them, and couldn't help but cry out.
Tao Yong was angry when he saw it, "What incense is not fragrant, put it down!" ”
After saying that, Tao Yong said to the butler next to him: "Old man, my guards have moved the perfume, I'm sorry, you quickly take them away!" ”
The old man said it didn't matter and let Tao Yong use it.
Tao Yong refused the old man's kindness and said sincerely: "Old man, I have received your wishes, but perfume, we will definitely not use it." ”
Under the leadership of Tao Yong, the soldiers of the whole army maintain strict discipline, whether in action or standing guard and sentry, whether day and night, whether many people are together or only one person, everyone can face the finances without any emotion. The area protected by the 23rd Army did not have a single incident of losing anything, which was affected many times
Tan Zhenlin's praise.
