As the main commander of the Kuomintang in the Huaihai Campaign, Chiang Kai-shek should have supported the front-line war in all aspects, but why did he give the order to refuse when Du Yuming asked for reinforcements? Not only did Du Yuming be captured at Chen Guanzhuang, but also the Huaihai Campaign was completely defeated, and eventually he could only flee to Taiwan. After the officials paid attention to what old Jiang was doing, they listened to the reasons why Brother Tan explained to you in detail.
In 1904, Du Yuming was born in Dujiawan, Shaanxi, his grandfather was a feudal landlord, his father was a late Qing Dynasty, he used to teach at Chang'an University, he participated in the League, encouraged the militia to drive out Qing government officials, and also contributed to opposing Yuan Shikai's claim to the throne. With such revolutionary influence, Du Yuming was brilliant from an early age, and his personality was jealous and hateful. In 1932, Du Yuming graduated from high school and stayed in Beijing to apply for Peking University, where he witnessed the dark rule of the Beiyang warlords and decided to apply for the Whampoa Military Academy and join the revolutionary wave. In the military academy, Du Yuming never studied sloppily, and soon became a deputy platoon leader, and since then his achievements have become more and more abundant, and his official position has been promoted all the way. After the victory of the Northern Expedition, Du Yuming actively participated in the War of Resistance Against Japan and became a fierce general in resisting Japanese aggression.
However, Du Yuming was chiang kai-shek's right-hand man after all, and the soldiers had always taken obedience to orders as their duty, and after Chiang Kai-shek launched the civil war, Du Yuming stood against our party. In 1945, he was elected commander of the Northeast Security, under the orders of Chiang Kai-shek to take over the northeast, at the beginning with the guidance of Du Yuming, the situation in the northeast did advance by leaps and bounds, but did not expect that after the collapse of the Kuomintang-Communist negotiations, the offensive of the People's Liberation Army was like a bamboo in an instant, recovering a lot of northeast territory, at this time Du Yuming had not yet learned a lesson from the defeat, thinking that it was not his own strategy that was wrong, but that the ability of individual generals was not good, and since then the Kuomintang army in the northeast has gone downhill, especially after the outbreak of the Liaoshen Campaign, Jinzhou has fallen and Shenyang has been successfully liberated Du Yuming took a special plane sent by Chiang Kai-shek to Beiping. At the same time, the Platsumie Hua Field Theater launched an offensive on November 6, and the vigorous Battle of Huaihai began.
The Battle of Xuzhou was an important battle in the Battle of Huaihai, and Du Yuming decided to find the main force of the People's Liberation Army to encircle it in a roundabout way, and then annihilate them one by one, but who knew that he was confused by the large-scale retreat of the People's Liberation Army; just when he ordered the troops to pursue the whole line, they were stubbornly blocked by our army, and all of Huang Baitao's troops were annihilated, and the morale dropped greatly, and Du Yuming had no choice but to retreat, at which time he suddenly received a letter from Chiang Kai-shek, asking to stop the retreat and relieve the encirclement of Huang Wei's corps. Du Yuming carefully analyzed the battle situation and believed that Chiang Kai-shek's orders would inevitably lead to the total annihilation of the army, after all, at this time he was also unable to protect himself and was surrounded by plagiarism, but if he did not obey the orders, Chiang Kai-shek would definitely put all the responsibility for the defeat on him, so he thought about it again and again. But it was his decision that led to a 10-year captivity.
Seeing that the war situation was unfavorable, Du Yuming sent a telegram to Chiang Kai-shek urging him to quickly dispatch a large army to fight a decisive battle with the People's Liberation Army, but unlike the Kuomintang, our army stopped attacking, adopted the mode of encircling but not attacking, and launched a 20-day political propaganda campaign against the Kuomintang. In just 20 days, the number of Kuomintang surrenders has reached more than 10,000 people, and at this time, in the eyes of our party, the great victory in the Huaihai Campaign is an irreversible situation, and there are only two roads in front of Du Yuming, one is to do his best to break out, and the other is to sit and wait for death. Since things have developed like this, he believes that it is better to mobilize all his troops and fight the PEOPLE's Liberation Army to the death, so that there may be a glimmer of life.
Judging from the lineups of the two sides, Du Yuming held 300,000 troops in his hands and Huaye 400,000, if Chiang Kai-shek sent troops to support, Du Yuming would have a great chance of winning and turning defeat into victory, so he sent a telegram to Chiang Kai-shek, hoping to send troops to support the Xuzhou battlefield, but who knew Chiang Kai-shek's reply, but Du Yuming was furious: "Brother, don't fantasize about increasing troops, there are no troops to increase now." Whether this is whether Chiang Kai-shek did not want to send troops, or whether the Kuomintang had reached the point of exhaustion.
In fact, as early as the battle of Jinzhou began, Chiang Kai-shek persuaded Fu Zuoyi to increase his troops in Jinzhou, but Fu Zuoyi had his own ideas, and in order to preserve his strength, he only perfunctorily did things to the old Chiang Kai-shek, saying that he would go to Xibaipo to assassinate the other party's leaders, and if he succeeded, he would win a complete victory. After the Battle of Huaihai began, Chiang Kai-shek persuaded Fu Zuoyi to lead a 500,000-strong army to support Huaihai, Fu Zuoyi also had an excuse not to go, he said that it was inconvenient for his transport troops to take the sea route, so he again refused Chiang Kai-shek's orders, and now, when Chiang Kai-shek once again opened his mouth to Fu Zuoyi, his large army was firmly controlled by Lin Biao in Pingjin, and even if he wanted to come to support, there was nothing he could do.
In desperation, Chiang Kai-shek could only call Hu Zongnan, Who was in the northwest, the mountains were far away, not to mention the inconvenience of transportation, and even the losses along the way were a large amount, and he naturally did not want to come to support. Seeing that his left and right arms could not move, Chiang Kai-shek had to pull down his face to ask for bai Chongxi, Bai Chongxi and Li Zongren were both leaders of the Gui clan, and the contradiction with Chiang Kai-shek had a long history, at this time he had 350,000 troops in Wuhan, if he was willing to send troops, the Huaihai war situation would be reversed in an instant. However, Bai Chongxi is not stupid, he is well aware of Chiang Kai-shek's personality and the consequences of sending troops, not only did not send troops, but also counted down the old Chiang on the phone: "Originally, it was your deployment mistakes that led to the army being trapped, and now you are filling in the troops little by little, that is, bai sent to death!" Hearing this, Chiang Kai-shek was immediately furious and immediately understood that this was the Gui clan sitting on the mountain watching the tiger fight, wanting to take advantage of the fishing and taking advantage of the opportunity to seize power. Later, Chiang Kai-shek wanted to use his eyeliner Tony Soong Hee-lin to secretly send troops, but he did not think that he was discovered by Bai Chongxi, so angry that he could only scold "Niang Xipi".
Looking back at Du Yuming in Chen Guanzhuang at this time, he could not wait for Chiang Kai-shek's dispatch of troops, and the most difficult problem at the moment was that the grain supply of the troops was about to be depleted, and they could only loot the grain of the common people, dig up the roots of trees and gnaw on the bark, and even kill their own military horses. At this time, Du Yuming was surrounded in a narrow area of no more than five kilometers from Chen Guanzhuang, and even the materials airdropped in Nanjing floated to the positions of our army because of the narrowness of the area, and the Kuomintang fighters, in order to compete for poor equipment, cruelly turned their guns at their own people. In order not to reveal his identity, he shaved off his beard and pretended to be a soldier, gave the villagers a gold ring, and wanted to change into civilian clothes. But in that era when all the people were soldiers, how could a man wearing the uniform of the nationalist army and holding a golden ring not arouse the vigilance of the villagers?
Du Yuming never expected that because of this detail, he was actually sold by a farmer, and under the villagers' ventilation message, the PLA fighters immediately rushed to arrest Du Yuming and his party as prisoners.
After being captured, Du Yuming reported the pseudonym he had prepared long ago, originally thought that it was seamless, but he was still sold by American cigarettes, beef jerky, and Parker pens, plus he himself was negligent, mistakenly thinking that the officer interrogating him was Chen Yi, so he reported his name and planned to tell the truth, but he did not expect to be crooked, so that the PLA soldiers could get it without any effort. Although it was the duty of a soldier to obey orders, after Du Yuming was captured, our party did not care at all about the once hostile camp, not only cured him of stomach ulcers, tuberculosis and other diseases, but also received preferential treatment from the Platon Army, and specially tailored a pair of plasterboards to allow him to sleep comfortably. After the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea began, Du Yuming was willing to make fried noodles for the volunteer army, and was deeply infected by the soldiers' heroic ambitions, and since then he has willingly changed his political trend and become a real patriot.
Recalling Chiang Kai-shek's decision in the Battle of Huaihai, his refusal to increase Du Yuming's troops was not really ruthless, but really no troops to increase, because he was unpopular and the deployment failed, and finally personally let the Kuomintang go downhill, and Du Yuming, who was captured, became the first batch of amnesty war criminals in 1959 because of his good performance, and made his own contribution to the cause of the people's revolution. So for Chiang Kai-shek and Du Yuming, I don't know what different views you have, welcome to discuss and share with Tang Ge in the comment area!
