One day in July 1947, Teng Xiyuan secretly went to reconnoiter as usual, and suddenly found a 200-man Kuomintang squad marching nearby, only half an hour away from where the main force of our army was stationed. But Teng Xiyuan did not know where they were going, and he was afraid that when he went to call people back, these people had disappeared without a trace, sparing 200 enemies. Between the electric light and flint, he thought of Zhuge Liang's "empty city plan".
So he stood on the hill, and when these people came to the ravine, he threw the only grenade on his body in front of these people, and the Kuomintang officers and soldiers who passed by were startled. At this time, the Kuomintang officers and men were already scared by the Platon Army, so their first reaction was not to fight back, but to flee in fright. Teng Xiyuan took the opportunity to shoot and shouted, "You are already surrounded, do not kill, preferential treatment for prisoners!" ”
The main force of our army heard his gunshots, rushed to him, and in less than a few moments, wiped out the 200 Kuomintang soldiers. This "Empty City Plan" was sung very beautifully, and Su Yu, deputy commander of Huaye, personally awarded him a first-class merit and gave him a brand-new box gun.
