The Twenty-fifth Division of the Kuomintang Fifty-second Army, the Independent Ninety-fifth Division of the "North China Suppression General" and the New Twenty-second Division of the New Sixth Army are the three ace main divisions in the Kuomintang army, all equipped with American equipment.
In the early days of the War of Liberation, Chiang Kai-shek maintained a large number of troops and excellent equipment, threatening to "eliminate the communist army within three months," and the "trump cards" of the three "trump cards" of the "Qianliju Division," the "Zhao Zilong Division," and the "Tiger Division" were even more invisible, and he boasted that he was invincible all over the world. However, the arrogant soldiers were bound to be defeated, and these three invincible "ace" divisions were soon broken on the northeast battlefield, and the bones were gone.
I. In the Battle of Xinkailing, the "Thousand Mile Colt Division" was wiped out
The Twenty-fifth Division of the Kuomintang Fifty-second Army fought in Gubeikou and Taierzhuang in blood, threatening to shock the enemy. Subsequently, the division went on an expedition to Burma, where it was invincible in a foreign country and made great achievements in battle, winning the reputation of "Thousand Mile Colt Division".
On October 19, 1946, Du Yuming, commander of the Kuomintang Northeast Security Command, gathered the Fifty-second Army, the New Sixth Army, and the Seventy-first Army, with a total of more than 100,000 people in 9 divisions, divided into three routes, and launched a large-scale attack on the southern Manchuria base area.
The "Thousand Mile Colt Division" was the main force in the middle of the road, and the performance was the most positive, blindly advancing alone, not taking the poorly equipped South Manchurian People's Liberation Army into account at all, and the slogan was also the loudest -- to force the South Manchurian People's Liberation Army to "force the South Manchurian Liberation Army to go up the Changbai Mountain to gnaw on the bark of trees, squeeze into the Yalu River to drink cool water."
In order to smash the arrogance of the enemy and completely smash the enemy's conspiracy to encircle our Liberated Areas of Southern Manchuria, Hu Qicai, commander of the Fourth Column of the South Manchuria Military Region, immediately made a decision and resolved to concentrate his forces to eat the indispensable "Thousand Mile Colt Division" first.
Hu Qicai was brave and resourceful, and in view of the arrogant and arrogant characteristics of the "Thousand Mile Colt Division," he meticulously formulated tactics to lure the enemy into the depths, and laid a "heavenly net" in the Xinkailing area of Liaodong Province, waiting for the enemy to enter the urn.
Xinkailing is located on the west side of Kuandian in Dandong, Liaoning Province, close to the Yalu River, is an east-west marsapple-shaped valley, flanked by mountains, rocky rocks, and extremely dangerous terrain, which is an ideal terrain for ambushes.
Hu Qicai sent troops to fight and retreat, pretending to be invincible, but on the other hand, he ordered the main force to set up an ambush in the Xinkailing area and tie up his pockets.
Seeing that the PLA, which was in direct contact with it, was so "vulnerable," the "Thousand Mile Colt Division" couldn't help but be overjoyed, spread out its feet and chased all the way, and unconsciously entered the pocket that the PLA had already arranged.
Fierce battles broke out, and the People's Liberation Army relied on favorable terrain to close the door and fight dogs, and the momentum was like a rainbow, and launched a siege on the "Thousand Mile Colt Division".
Suddenly, the explosions and shouts of killing in the Xinkailing Valley, which winded for more than a dozen miles, were deafening, and the "Thousand Mile Colt Division" was caught off guard, and it was killed so that people turned over on their horses and cried for their mothers.
During the battle, the Twenty-fifth Division of the Kuomintang Fifty-second Army, known as the "Thousand Mile Colt Division," was completely destroyed and destroyed, and the division commander Li Zhengyi became a prisoner of the order.
Second, the Tashan blockade battle, the "Zhao Zilong" division was completely destroyed
The independent Ninety-fifth Division of the Kuomintang "North China Suppression General" also made a name for itself on the anti-Japanese battlefield, made ten thousand, and made outstanding military achievements, and won the reputation of "Zhao Zilong Division" and "Division of Hundred Battles".
The Battle of Tashan was the most tragic and thrilling battle fought in the Battle of Jinzhou in the Liaoshen Campaign, and the Battle of Xudong in the Battle of Montenegro and the Battle of Huaihai, and was called the "Three Major Blockade Battles" in the "Three Great Battles" of the Liberation War.
After the Northeast Liberation Army besieged Jinzhou, Chiang Kai-shek immediately ordered the Liao Yaoxiang Corps stationed in Shenyang and the Hou Jingru Corps stationed in Jinxi to advance in tandem with each other to relieve the danger of Jinzhou.
Tashan is a small village located between Jinzhou and Jinxi, bordering the sea, 30 kilometers east of Jinzhou and 4 kilometers west of Jinxi, which is the only way from Jinxi to Jinzhou.
On the task of blocking the attack at Tashan was the Fourth Column of the Northeast People's Liberation Army, which the Kuomintang called "particularly fierce and good fighting."
After the blockade war broke out, the Kuomintang Hou Jingru Corps first concentrated all the artillery fire on the land and sea warship "Chongqing" and covered Tashan with a round of artillery fire, and then sent a number of aircraft to fly over Tashan mountain to carry out indiscriminate bombardment.
After the fierce artillery fire covered, the "Zhao Zilong Division" of the Kuomintang EastWard Advance Corps immediately lined up in a dense and neat phalanx and took turns to attack the Tashan position.
It is worthy of being a "Zhao Zilong Division," and there is really a brave and fierce force of Zhao Zilong in Changshan, and it seems that it is about to break through the position of our army.
Zhao Zilong was fierce, and our heroic People's Liberation Army was even fiercer, and just when the "Zhao Zilong Division" was about to break through the position, the reserve of the Fourth Column arrived in time and launched a white-knife battle with the enemy, and finally defeated the fierce and tenacious "Zhao Zilong Division."
The "Zhao Zilong Division", which was blind and claimed to have never suffered defeat, was almost completely annihilated, and there were less than a thousand people left when they fled.
Luo Qi, director of the Kuomintang's North China Supervision And War and the first commander of the Independent Ninety-fifth Division, could not help but weep bitterly: "Ten years of hard work, eight thousand elite soldiers, unexpectedly ruined here, pain, pain!" ”
Third, the Great Tiger Mountain Blockade Battle, the "Tiger Division" died
The New Twenty-second Division of the New Sixth Army, one of the five main forces of the Kuomintang, was the first mechanized unit in China, and the first division commander was the Kuomintang general Qiu Qingquan, who fought at Kunlun Pass and fought the "Steel Army", the 21st Brigade of the Fifth Division of the Japanese Army, and killed the brigade commander Masao Nakamura. Subsequently, the division expeditioned to Burma, the division commander was replaced by Liao Yaoxiang, and the Japanese army hard steel, the battle results are good, known as the "jungle tiger" reputation, and later even as the "tiger division".
In February 1946, Cheng Shicai, commander of the Liaodong Military Region of the Northeast People's Liberation Army, besieged a regiment and a teaching battalion of the lonely "Tiger Division" with the superior strength of the six main regiments of the third and fourth columns, and fought for one day and two nights, annihilating only 700 enemy troops, while the casualties of our army were as high as more than 2,000.
In this battle alone, the combat effectiveness of the "Tiger Division" can be seen.
After the Battle of Jinzhou, Liao Yaoxiang saw that Jinzhou had been lost, and immediately ordered his troops to advance eastward, preparing to escape by boat from Yingkou.
Lin Biao ordered the columns of the Northeast Field Army to immediately pursue Liao Yaoxiang's corps in order to annihilate them all.
Liao Yaoxiang commanded his troops to storm the Black Mountain and the Great Tiger Mountain in an attempt to kill a bloody road, while the columns of our Northeast Field Army had completed their assembly and formed a joint encirclement.
As a pioneer and the "ace" in the "ace", the "Tiger Division" bears the brunt of it.
In the early morning of October 26, the general offensive began, and the columns of the Northeast People's Liberation Army followed the order of "chaotic chaos and boldly and violently attacked", boldly interspersed, divided, infiltrated, and violently attacked and charged.
In the melee, the 24th and 22nd Divisions of the 8th Column of the Northeast People's Liberation Army met with the "Tiger Division" on a narrow road and met unexpectedly. However, at this time, the Kuomintang army was defeated, and the "Tiger Division" was no exception. The former tiger now became a headless fly, no heart for war, and after a day of fighting, the 8th Column 24th Division and the 22nd Division completely annihilated this once invincible "Tiger Division".
At this point, the three ace main divisions of all The American-style equipment in the Kuomintang army, Chiang Kai-shek's "heart and liver treasures" known as the "Thousand Mile Colt Division," the "Zhao Zilong Division," and the "Tiger Division," and the Concubine Lineage were all folded in the northeast battlefield.
