In the early morning of November 26, 1948, the soldiers of the Sixth Column of the Central Plains Field Army caught a Kuomintang secret agent officer probing his brain near the Huanhe Nanpingji, which was confronting the enemy.
This Kuomintang officer was obviously different from other captured officers, he took the initiative to go forward and tie his hands, and after being captured by the PLA soldiers, instead of being afraid in the slightest, he was very excited.
The PLA soldiers were a little puzzled and asked:
"You, a Kuomintang officer, know quite well, but did you see the people's liberation army's leniency policy and take the initiative to surrender?"
I saw the Kuomintang officer with a straight face and said:
"Brother, I have finally waited for you, I am not surrendering, I am returning to the army, I have important information to report to the chief, you hurry up and inform your superiors!"
At this time, in the sixth column command post of the Central Plains Field Army, commander Wang Jinshan and political commissar Du Yide had red eyes, and they had been standing in front of the map of the command post for a day and a night, in order to tighten the pockets surrounding Huang Wei, the soldiers of the sixth column were dead stuck on the enemy's route to the southeast.
Wang Near the Mountain
The phone rang suddenly, and Commissar Deng's voice came from the microphone: "Wang Jinshan?" How are you doing there? The southeast position of the double pile where you are located is very important, not only is the place where Huang Wei is staring, but the Central Military Commission is also paying attention to you, and you must resolutely resist it. ”
"Please rest assured Commissar Deng that the enemy's attempt to break through before my deployment is fully ready is simply wishful thinking, and our unit will resolutely complete the task!" As soon as Wang Jinshan put down the phone, he saw Wu Ying, the combat staff officer of the headquarters, leading a Kuomintang officer with a large brimmed hat into the command post with a smile.
Wang Jinshan and Du Yide's faces darkened, and He Guanghua, director of the Operations Department, quickly pulled up the curtain of the battle map and looked at Wu Ying fiercely.
Wu Ying was so happy to see his comrades that he forgot to report in advance, and he reported loudly: "Commander and political commissar, this is Comrade Yang Zhenhai, a latent personnel of our party in the Kuomintang 110th Division, and he has important intelligence reports. ”
Wang Jinshan was overjoyed to hear this, and when he looked closely, he was indeed his own person. He quickly stepped forward, shook Yang Zhenhai's hand and shook it vigorously: "Zhenhai, let you be frightened, we have met, you have contacted the 110th Division about the uprising..."
Yang Zhenhai did not have time to greet the headquarters personnel, took out from his arms Huang Wei's breakthrough plan and other top-secret documents, reported to Wang Jinshan on the battle map, and asked the Kuomintang 110th Division to revolt before the battle, and asked the commander to cooperate.
Wang Jinshan said happily: "Sure enough, Huang Wei advanced in four directions, but still chose the defensive line of our six columns. It seems that you Liao Yun Zhou Division Commander has become a bamboo in the chest, and you can't wait! ”
The uprising of the 110th Division disrupted Huang Wei's plan to break through the four roads and make a breakthrough, so that the Central Plains Field Army was calmly deployed and surrounded Huang Wei dead in a double pile.
Nineteen days later, more than 100,000 people of the Kuomintang 12th Corps were annihilated, the Huang Wei group was wiped out, and the second phase of the Huaihai Campaign, which was the largest and most fierce battle, was successfully concluded.
After Huang Wei was later pardoned from the Gongdelin War Criminals Management Center, he saw Liao Yunzhou, dressed in the uniform of a major general of the People's Liberation Army, and still gritted his teeth and said:
"I only hate two people in my life, one is Guo Rujie, director of the Department of Operations of the Ministry of National Defense, and the other is Liao Yunzhou, commander of your 110th Division!"
These two men were excellent communist generals lurking in the Kuomintang army, the 12th Corps was completely destroyed, and Huang Wei had been blinded by Liao Yunzhou.
What the hell is going on? Let's look back at history and explore the earth-shattering war miracle in the Battle of Huaihai!
Liao Yun Zhou
On November 22, 1948, with a gunshot, Huang Baitao, commander of the Kuomintang 7th Corps, was killed on the battlefield. Su Yu commanded the East China Field Army, which completely annihilated Huang Baitao's corps in The East of Xuzhou, and achieved a great victory in the first phase of the Huaihai Campaign.
At the most crucial moment when Huaye encircled and annihilated Huang Baitao's corps, the Central Military Commission played a big game of chess, preparing to eliminate Huang Baitao, Qiu Qingquan, and Li Mi at the same time.
The General Front Committee of the Huaihai Campaign judged the hour and sized up the situation, and held that it was impractical to fight in this way, and it was better to gather all the troops of the Eastern Field and the Middle Field to annihilate the Huang Wei Corps. After reporting this to the Central Military Commission for approval, the Central Plains Field Army launched a decisive battle to encircle and annihilate the Huang Wei Corps.
From November 22, the Central Plains Field Army blocked and surrounded, setting up a large pocket for the Huang Wei Army, and by the evening of the 25th, the Huang Wei Corps was surrounded by dead double piles on the banks of the Xun River, and the big battle was about to break out.
There is a cloud in Sun Tzu's Art of War and Conspiracy to Attack: Therefore, the method of using soldiers, ten will encircle it, five will attack it, and if it is multiplied, it will be divided, the enemy will be able to fight, the few will be able to escape, and if it is not, it will be able to avoid it.
At this time, the most urgent moment had reached, because the ratio of strength between Nakano and the 12th Corps was about 1 to 1, and according to the "Art of War of Sun Tzu", there were no conditions for besieging the enemy army.
The 18th Army under the jurisdiction of the 12th Corps is one of the "five ace armies" of the Kuomintang, and the whole United States is equipped with 48 howitzers and mountain guns of 105 mm alone, while nakano's strongest 1 column only has three mountain guns.
The People's Liberation Army was nervous, and the Kuomintang side was even more panicked, and Huang Wei gave the death order to let the 85th Army and the 14th Army cover the transfer of the 10th army and the 18th army.
Yang Botao, commander of the 18th Army, was very helpless when he received this order, Huang Wei, a nerd, is this not a joke?
The 18th Army and the 10th Army are both elite units of Chiang Kai-shek, and their combat effectiveness is much stronger than that of the 85th Army and the 14th Army, and they can transfer themselves, even if they can use the cover of the 85th Army and the 14th Army, which will only increase their troubles.
However, Huang Wei did not think so, he felt that as long as he moved closer to Li Yannian in the southwest direction, he could stand in an invincible position. In order to achieve the goal as soon as possible, he specially sent military staff officers to send cover orders to Wu Shaozhou, commander of the 85th Army.
But left and right, this staff officer disappeared along with the jeep, but no one returned.
Yang Botao urgently advised Huang Wei to act, but Huang Wei, at this critical juncture of life and death, let the large army line up in Nanpingji to die, and waited until the evening of the 25th, when there was no one to be seen, the troops pulled out, and after reaching the double pile set, they could no longer walk, and were pierced into the pocket by the Nakano army.
Where did this staff officer go? It turned out that on the way to deliver the order, the company and the car were captured by the vanguard of the Nakano Ii Column, and after interrogation, they figured out the movement of Huang Wei's army.
The news of this staff officer and the intelligence brought by Yang Zhenhai of the 110th Division corroborated each other, and Huang Wei's movements were clearly understood, and Wang Jinshan stepped up to lay down layers of defensive echelons in the southeast of shuangduiji, waiting for Huang Wei to break through from here.
But before that, there was a very difficult problem, that is, how to successfully respond to the pre-war uprising of the 110th Division in the breakthrough battle of the four divisions advancing hand in hand, which made the famous "Wang Madman" in the People's Liberation Army also scratch his head very much.
Artillery attack at the Battle of Huaihai
The 110th Division of the Nationalist 85th Army, yes
A miscellaneous armed force that has long been in the central military consort troops. The division was founded in January 1938, its predecessor was the 2nd Division of Feng Yuxiang's Northwest Army, formed by the merger of yang Hucheng's old independent 46th Brigade, the units of the Northern Henan Division and some cavalry of the Northeast Army, and was incorporated into the 13th Army, where Tang Enbo was personally appointed at the beginning of its establishment.
The 110th Division participated in battles such as Taierzhuang and made many achievements in the war against Japan, although it was reorganized many times by Tang Enbo, but many progressive forces were preserved.
In October 1942, the 110th Division was transferred to the 4th Division of the 85th Army and was separated from the Battle Sequence of the Towne-Bols. In 1948, it was incorporated into Chen Cheng's concubine unit, the 12th Corps, under the unified command of Bai Chongxi, commander of the "Suppression General" in central China.
It can be said that the 110th Division has been there since the day it was founded
The struggle in the elite nest of Chiang Kai-shek's concubines was indeed very painful for a unit that longed for communism.
Liao Yunzhou, commander of the 110th Division,
In 1926, he was admitted to the Fifth Artillery Department of the Whampoa Military Academy.
And Xu Guangda is at the same table,
1927
Sun Yizhong and Jing Renqiu introduced
He joined the Communist Party of China, participated in the Northern Expedition and the Nanchang Uprising, and later, under the arrangement of Zhou Enlai, lurked in the Kuomintang troops, and rose all the way to serve as the commander of the 110th Division.
From the Central Military Commission to the Northern Bureau, the Central Plains Bureau, and the East China Bureau, the CPC has been deploying tasks to Liao Yunzhou for many years, and has repeatedly selected cadres to secretly enter the 110th Division to help develop party members and progressive forces, and established the CPC Underground Division Party Committee.
The 110th Division administers the 328th Regiment, the 329th Regiment, and the 330th Regiment, of which the 329th Regiment commander is Liu Xiehou, a reserve party member of the CPC, and the 330th Regiment is headed by Jin Hanzhang, the target of party member development, all of which are stable forces that the division's party committee can grasp, and only Jiang Jixin, the commander of the 328th Regiment, is very reactionary.
As the People's Liberation Army continued to win in several major battles, it was only a matter of time before the Kuomintang fell, the soldiers of the 110th Division could not bear it, and Liao Yunzhou also sent people to the Central Plains Bureau many times to submit requests for an uprising, but they were rejected by Commissar Deng, who instructed Liao Yunzhou:
"The 110th Division must be actively prepared, wait patiently, play the greatest role at the most favorable time, boldly develop the organization, and do not rely on the superiors to send people. Organizationally we have not forgotten you, but it is not yet the right time to revolt, and the uprising must play the greatest role militarily and politically, not only in the case of tens of thousands of people and a thousand guns, but also in consideration of the overall situation. ”
Chief of the General Front Committee of the Huaihai Campaign
Following the instructions of Commissar Deng, Liao Yunzhou and the 110th Division lurked in the order of the Nationalist army, anxiously waiting for the opportunity to revolt. On the evening of November 26, Huang Wei called Liao Yunzhou to the division headquarters. Huang Wei is a first-term student of Huangpu, the senior of Liao Yunzhou, and attaches great importance to Liao Yunzhou.
Huang Wei asked Liao Yunzhou what strategy was there for liao yunzhou that the PLA's encirclement of the 12th Corps had been formed and was building fortifications.
Liao Yunzhou saw that Huang Wei had plans to break through, so he asked Huang Wei: "What is the commander's decision, despite the order, our division guarantees to complete the task." ”
Huang Wei said: "I am ready to select 4 divisions to advance in unison to break through. ”
Liao Yunzhou was shocked to hear this news, but his brain was running at an extremely fast speed, the 12th Corps was still well equipped and had strong combat effectiveness, the four divisions were advancing in tandem, and the PLA was insufficient, and it was very likely to run out.
He had a flash of inspiration and said to Huang Wei: "The commander's decision is really wise, and our division requests a charge to ensure that they break through their temporarily constructed bunkers, and asks the commander for approval." ”
Huang Wei was greatly relieved that Liao Yun Zhou zhen was a good general, and with such a warrior loyal to the party-state, he was worried that he could not pass the siege of the communist army.
After obtaining Huang Wei's consent, Liao Yunzhou suddenly felt that something was wrong, if he broke through in this way, the 110th Division was sandwiched between three divisions, and there were no conditions for a pre-war uprising, and I was afraid that he would lose his wife and fold his troops, and he would not be able to reach the point where Commissar Deng asked him to "play the greatest role at the most favorable time." ”
He once again suggested to Huang Wei: "Four divisions go hand in hand, not as good as three divisions, you can leave the main force of the 18th Army, the 11th Division, as a reserve, in case of emergency, my 110th Division will take the lead, and if it is successful in advance, other divisions will follow up to expand the results." ”
Hearing this, Huang Wei was really overjoyed, Liao Yunzhou's words spoke to his heart, at such an urgent moment, there was a general who was willing to be the pioneer and think about the overall situation of the entire corps, which was really precious.
He took out a bottle of brandy, poured a glass of wine and put it in Liao Yunzhou's hand: "Brother Liao, you are really my good disciple, I will give you whatever you want, planes, tanks, howitzers, as long as you open your mouth, I will all agree." ”
Smoothly fooling Huang Wei to successfully adjust the deployment, Liao Yunzhou and Huang Wei touched the cup and drank the wine in the cup. The commander was really nerdy, and he suddenly felt a little pity for Huang Wei, a naïve person.
Liao Yunzhou returned to the military headquarters and sent a message to the commander
Wu Shaozhou
Report on Huang Wei's arrangements.
Wu Shaozhou said that you can't use so many people to break through, leave the 328 regiment for me, I will use him as a reserve.
Really sleepy touched the pillow, just worried about not knowing how to deal with the disobedient 328 Regiment, the commander's request was right in Liao Yunzhou's arms, he pretended to be unhappy, and finally agreed.
After returning home, Liao Yunzhou studied the details of the breakthrough with the division party committee. This time, Nakano had already surrounded the 12th Corps layer by layer, and Liao Yunzhou could no longer bear it, and sent his aide-de-camp Yang Zhenhai to the opposite side in advance to send top-secret information and contact the uprising.
The Sixth Column Headquarters was not idle, and all listened attentively to Yang Zhenhai's introduction of the preparations for the uprising.
Yang Zhenhai said excitedly:
"Our division asked the forward troops of the People's Liberation Army to dodge an opening on the left wing of the breakthrough point, and then seal the mouth after the 110th Division had all passed..."
Yang Zhenhai felt that this suggestion was perfectly normal, but in the ears of Wang Jinshan and others, there was a thousand weights, in case the connection was not good, and the Kuomintang army broke out, it would be a big trouble, and the atmosphere of the scene was suddenly solemn.
Yang Zhenhai was a little anxious: "Chief, don't you believe us, do you think there is deception?" ”
Political Commissar Du Yide said with a smile: "Zhenhai should not be too careful, we believe in the underground party comrades who have been working hard in the enemy camp for a long time. The problem is that the 110th Division is not all communist world, and if something goes wrong and is abruptly calculated by General Huang Wei, it will disrupt the overall deployment of the General Front Committee! ”
"We have repeatedly considered this situation, Huang Wei is now thinking of breaking through, and the deployment of the division party committee is absolutely reliable, please rest assured."
Wang Jinshan asked Wu Ying to accompany Yang Zhenhai out to rest for a while, and Wang Jinshan, who had seen strong winds and waves and was accustomed to fighting hard and vicious battles, encountered such a difficult problem, and it was extremely difficult to make up his mind. He looked at Du Yide, then at Li Zhen, director of the Political Department, and He Guanghua, director of the Operations Department, and everyone fell silent at the same time.
What to do? He was the commander of the column, and the General Front Committee had always reminded him to pay attention to the southeast direction, and if he was also protruded by Huang Wei in this way, it didn't matter if his heroic name of Wang Jinshan was lost in this world, the General Front Committee was full of losses, but he couldn't afford to wait!
Just as he was about to make up his mind, Du Yide laughed: "I said Commander Wang, you have made up your mind like this, don't you call Commissar Deng for instructions?" ”
Wang Jinshan patted his head and suddenly realized that he was really confused, Liao Yunzhou's intelligence Deng Political Commissar knew better, he answered the phone of Deng Political Commissar, and reported on the situation of responding to the uprising of the 110th Division.
Commissar Deng was obviously in his hands, he knew more information, and after listening to Wang Jinshan's request, he calmly said: "Good, completely agreed", and hung up the phone.
The chief agreed to the plan, proving that everything was under control. But we can't be careless, we must make all preparations, so as not to change, don't let Huang Wei's cunning rabbit three caves run!
Wang Jinshan, Du Yide, and others discussed the receiving troops and blocking troops, planned the route of the response, and invited Yang Zhenhai back to the headquarters.
Wang Jinshan called Yang Zhenhai to his side, drew a road map of the march with his own hands, handed it to him, and said:
"Comrade Zhenhai, it is now 2 a.m., it will take at least 1 hour for you to go back, according to the plan, the 110th Division must depart at 5:00 a.m. according to the prescribed route and time, and we will place sorghum poles as road signs on the marching road.
The rebel officers and men tied white towels or white cloth strips on their left arms as identification signs, with 3 signal bombs as the number, and all of them must pass before dawn... In order to ensure the smooth progress of the uprising, I sent Comrade Wu Ying to follow you as a guide. ”
Yang Zhenhai and Wu Ying solemnly performed a military salute to Wang Jinshan, turned and walked into the dim night.
Over there, Liao Yunzhou was also anxiously waiting for Yang Zhenhai to return, seeing Yang Zhenhai and Wu Yingyi walking into the 110th Division headquarters one after the other in the fog, Liao Yunzhou's anxious mood finally let go, he took the road map, cherished it into his arms, and was about to return to the embrace of the organization, this day waited too long and too long.
Kuomintang rebel army
At this time, the time set was already very urgent, and Wu Ying urged Liao Yunzhou to say: "Division commander, with me as the guide, the 329th Regiment of Comrades Yang Zhenhai and Liu Xiehou is the vanguard, the division headquarters is in the center, and the 330th Regiment is the rear guard, and immediately prepare to leave." ”
Liao Yunzhou said: "Everything is under control, and more than 5,500 people of the two regiments are ready to leave at any time." ”
Although everything was ready, the actual departure was still an hour late. Yang Zhenhai jumped straight to his feet, but Liao Yunzhou understood that the more critical the time, the more he could not be in a hurry, if Huang Wei saw the flaw at this time, it would be a failure!
After the departure, the sky was beautiful, a heavy fog, and the 110th Division, under the leadership of Wu Ying, quickly advanced towards the predetermined route. When they arrived at the location, three signal bombs took off, but there was no reaction on the sixth column, it was broken, the fog was too large, and the receiving troops did not see it.
At this time, Huang Weiming used a radio to contact Liao Yunzhou: "Yangtze River, Yangtze River, I am Wuchang, where have you been?" ”
Liao Yunzhou calmly replied: "Wuchang, Wuchang, I am the Yangtze River, everything is normal, we are approaching the enemy army, please rest assured commander!" ”
Time passed in seconds, and if the fog cleared after dawn, it would certainly be discovered by the Kuomintang reconnaissance planes. Wu Ying couldn't manage so much anymore, and went to the PLA position alone.
"Who? password? ”
Hearing the PLA soldiers ask for the password, Wu Ying was overjoyed, and while replying to the password, he said: "I am the military staff officer of the headquarters, and I want Commander Wang!" ”
At this moment, Wang Jinshan's mood was even more nervous than Liao Yunzhou's, he was behind the bunker, his eyes were fixed on the route of the reception, but the front was a white expanse, he couldn't see anything, and it seemed that there was a lump of something stuck in his heart socket, he couldn't swallow it, he couldn't spit it out, how uncomfortable it was.
Suddenly, there was the sound of rapid wheels, footsteps, and horses' hooves in front of them, and the figure of the Kuomintang army appeared in Wang Jinshan's telescope, at which time Wu Ying also ran to the forward command post: "Report Commander, the 110th Division has arrived smoothly." ”
Wang Jinshan felt that the pressure was suddenly gone, and he shouted angrily, why didn't he send a signal?
Wu Ying was even more aggrieved and said loudly: "Twice, it is fog, it is fog, I can't see it!" ”
Wang Jinshan ordered: Quickly tell The Liao division commander to let the rebel troops pass quickly, and we are ready to seal our mouths.
Wang Jinshan watched the insurgent troops pass by one by one, and immediately ordered two regiments to seal the gap, and the 11th Division of the 18th Army that followed up was immediately ambushed by the sixth column.
At this time, Huang Wei could not care about using secret language, and loudly asked Liao Yunzhou in the radio: "Where have you arrived, the 11th Division has encountered a surprise attack by the communist army with heavy casualties..." Huang Wei was angry, Liao Yunzhou was unimpeded in front, but the follow-up troops suffered blows.
The Kuomintang breakthrough troops fought all morning, and by 1 p.m., Huang Wei was still hoping that Liao Yunzhou would have good news.
Wu Shaozhou called Liao Yunzhou on the radio: "Master Liao, Master Liao, where are you now, and how is the situation?" ”
Liao Yunzhou laughed loudly, he picked up the news machine, pretended to be helpless, and stuttered the report: "Report To Commander Wu, our division broke through and broke through very smoothly, who knew that it had fallen into the trap of the communist army, drilled into the encirclement, and the whole division was surrounded..."
After speaking, he threw down the radio and ordered the communications staff to stop all the radios and radios. Wu Shaozhou and Huang Wei heard Liao Yunzhou's words, looked at each other, and did not know what to say, and finally the breakthrough failed, and Huang Wei fled back to the double pile set in ashes.
Three days later, the families of important officers of the 110th Division were properly resettled, and the news of Liao Yunzhou's uprising was sent to the whole country by Xinhua News Agency.
Huang Wei was captured by the People's Liberation Army
On December 15, 1948, 19 days after the Liao Yunzhou Uprising, Huang Wei's corps, one of Chiang Kai-shek's aces, was completely annihilated by the People's Liberation Army, and 46,000 Kuomintang generals and 46,000 officers and men including Huang Wei, Wu Shaozhou, Yang Botao, Wang Yuanzhi and other Kuomintang generals and below were captured alive.
More than 46,000 people were killed or wounded, more than 5,500 people were revolted, 3,300 surrendered, and countless weapons and equipment were captured.
Years later, Chiang Kai-shek was still indignant, saying: "The rebellion of Liao Yunzhou, commander of the 110th Division, is the key to hastening the defeat of Huang Wei's corps!" ”
After the victory at the Battle of Huaihai, the 110th Division was reorganized into the 42nd Division of the 14th Army of the 4th Corps of the Chinese People's Liberation Army, with Liao Yunzhou as the division commander, and the division participated in the Battle of crossing the River and marched into Jiangxi, Guangdong, Yunnan and Tibet.
Liao Yunzhou was awarded the rank of major general in 1955, and he was one of the few people in our army who was awarded the rank of major general of the Kuomintang and the rank of major general of the Chinese People's Liberation Army.
Liao Yunzhou lurked in the enemy camp for more than 20 years, passing on a lot of important information to the People's Liberation Army, and his counterattack during the most critical period of the Huaihai Campaign completely broke Huang Wei's tendons, became the sharpest straw that overwhelmed the 12th Corps, and also promoted the collapse of the Jiang family dynasty.
On May 11, 1996, General Liao Yunzhou died of illness in Beijing at the age of 93.
In this article, I would like to pay the highest tribute to General Liao Yunzhou and the countless underground workers fighting on the hidden front.
Where there are some years of quiet, but some people carry the weight for us, without them, there would be no birth of a new China!!!
