The nineteenth red story of Dingtaoma Market Town, Shandong Province--- dawn came

In early May 1948, the First Corps of Huaye completed the new reorganization. On May 24, he crossed the Yellow River in the south and planned to encircle Qiu Qingquan's New Fifth Army in the southwestern region of Lu with the Second Corps of the Southern Front.

Qiu Qingquan also gathered 11 integrated divisions to plan a decisive battle with the First Corps.

Su Yu's use of troops has always been informal, flexible and changeable. He found that the defenders of Kaifeng were weak, and made a temporary decision to attack Kaifeng instead. On June 20, Kaifeng was conquered, annihilating 39,000 enemy troops. Immediately in the eastern Henan region, on June 25 and July 6, the Shounian Regiment and the Huang Botao Corps in the area were encircled and annihilated, annihilating 54,000 enemy troops.

After the defeat of the troops in the Battle of Eastern Henan, Chiang Kai-shek was furious and demoralized, and he gathered 200,000 people from 20 brigades and, under the cover of aircraft artillery, followed the First Corps of Huaye in a vain attempt to retaliate. On July 14, from south to north, pressing down on the Yellow River line, burning and looting all the way, frantically retaliating. On July 25, su yu could not be found, and he was afraid of being annihilated, so he withdrew to the Longhai line after more than 10 days of raging in southwest Lu.

At the beginning of September, in addition to a few isolated cities, the countryside of Southwest Lu returned to the hands of the people. This is what we often call the "tug-of-war" period in the countryside around Maji.
