The "crazy general" of the Liberation War: Risking death to make a military order, using the remnants of the army to annihilate Chiang Kai-shek's soldiers

Li Yunlong in the TV series "Bright Sword", the best at fighting vicious battles, always gives everyone unexpected surprises, he often does not play cards according to the routine, but he can always get praise from his superiors. Li Yunlong's prototype is Wang Jinshan, the founding lieutenant general of the mainland, and his real experience is actually more legendary and wonderful than in film and television dramas, especially in war, and his courage and strategy are more than in the drama.

The "crazy general" of the Liberation War: Risking death to make a military order, using the remnants of the army to annihilate Chiang Kai-shek's soldiers

General Wang Jinshan

In August 1946, Chiang Kai-shek dispatched 380,000 troops to attack the Jinji-Hebei Luyu Liberated Area, which at that time had only 50,000 troops in the Jinji-Hebei Luyu Liberated Area, and after a fierce battle, there was insufficient ammunition, men and horses were very tired, and the situation was very critical.

Chiang Kai-shek's Third Division was a yan-affiliated unit, which had gone on expeditions to Burma to confront the Japanese army, and its military attainments and weapons and equipment were very sophisticated; Liu Deng and the two chiefs believed that the Third Division was a good breakthrough point to crush the enemy's attack, but with the existing 50,000 troops, there was almost no chance of victory in the face of such enemy troops, and if they were not careful, the entire Central Plains war situation would be completely lost.

At the emergency meeting, everyone did not know what to do, and suddenly Wang Jinshan took the case and said in front of the commanders and chiefs:

If there is only one brigade left in the end, I will be the brigade commander, if there is only one regiment left, I will be the commander of the regiment, if there is only one company left, I will be the company commander, if there is only one company left, I will be the company commander, if unfortunately, our entire army is destroyed, then I am also worthy of all the fathers and fellow villagers in the Taihang Mountains!"

Liu Deng was the two chiefs

At such a crucial moment, Wang Jinshan dared to make such a voice, which no one had expected, and at the same time made the chiefs present very excited, and Comrade Deng Xiaoping, whose personality has always been relatively introverted, said:

"I very much support Commander Wang's decision, good look!"

Chief Liu Bocheng also immediately said:

"You go to fight, if you have any needs, mention them, fight boldly, and beat them fiercely!"

After Wang Jinshan took the order, he led his subordinates to directly attack the Yellow Dragon without the enemy's reach, and quickly pounced on the location of the division headquarters of the Third Division of the Nationalist Army: DayangHu!

Dayanghu is a medium-sized village with more than 200 families, a ditch more than three meters deep outside the village, and a large pond full of reeds in the south, and the natural terrain that is easy to defend and difficult to attack is very suitable for ambushes. The commander of the Third Division of the Nationalist Army, Zhao Xitian, was a graduate of the first phase of the Whampoa Military Academy, and he placed the strongest regiment of the division in Dayang Lake, not only built a complete fortification at the mouth of the village, but also had a dark fort with gun holes at all the intersections in the village, and it was difficult for anyone to enter, even if they could enter, they would be destroyed by the fire of the dark fort.

Break through enemy lines

On the night of September 5, 1946, Wang Jinshan led the Sixth Column to prepare for a general attack on Dayang Lake, and a steady Liu Bocheng attached great importance to this battle, and personally visited the battle headquarters to supervise the battle before the battle began. With Wang Jinshan's order, Xiao Yongyin, commander of the Eighteenth Brigade, led his troops to launch wave after wave of charge against the airtight Dayang Lake, pointing out that the next day, the troops of the 6 regiments on the right had successfully entered the village of Dayanghu, and surrounded all the enemies into a relatively strong courtyard, and the bullets on both sides were almost exhausted.

Thus, the warriors and the recalcitrant enemy began to fight bayonets, which was a vicious battle, and the casualties on both sides were very heavy, and it was difficult to end the battle for a long time. At the moment of emergency, Wang Jinshan knew that the more difficult the moment, the more it was necessary to persist, and whoever fell first would give the other side an opportunity, so he hurriedly gathered all the cadres, miscellaneous servants, and logistics personnel to form a temporary reserve and put them all into battle.

Tanks captured by our army

In the end, the elite regiment of the Nationalist army was still defeated by the hands of the "crazy general" Wang Jinshan, and after the Third Division of the Nationalist Army lost DayangHu, the entire defense system quickly collapsed, and the other columns of Liu Deng's brigade were divided into multiple routes to encircle and annihilate the remnants of the enemy troops, and finally Chiang Kai-shek's proud elite Third Division was completely destroyed, and the division commander Zhao Tianxi was also captured alive.

The success of this battle fully demonstrated Commander Wang Jinshan's extraordinary boldness and brilliant military strategy, and it was precisely his "madman" spirit of not accepting defeat that enabled the Jinji-Hebei Luyu Field Army to break through safely and reverse the passive situation of our army in the Central Plains. In the face of the pincer offensive of the enemy's 380,000 troops, directly "eating" the enemy's best third division is like pulling teeth out of the tiger's mouth, such a vicious battle, at that time, the Jinji-Hebei Luyu Field Army, in addition to Wang Jinshan, how many people dared to take the initiative to fight?

Many people have heard the story of Wang Jinshan's military order that year, and while erecting the big thumb brother, they will sigh: It is worthy of being "Wang Crazy"! And even more than 40 years after the incident, Comrade Deng Xiaoping still remembers this incident vividly, saying: "That is not called madness, that is called revolutionary heroism." ”
