In the later stages of the Liberation War, our army continued to win victories on the frontal battlefield, while the Nationalist army was losing defeat one after another, constantly losing its armor and abandoning its armor, and it was difficult to return. Under these circumstances, many generals of the Nationalist army chose to revolt and surrender, which directly or indirectly promoted the peaceful reunification of many regions. The most famous of these was Fu Zuoyi, the commander of the North China "Suppression Chief", who single-handedly contributed to the peaceful liberation of Beiping and prevented the historic city from falling into war. After Fu Zuoyi surrendered, many generals of the northern nationalist army chose to give up resistance and raised the banner of uprising. Eyou San, commander of the cavalry division of the Nationalist Army in the Suiyuan region, also joined Dong Qiwu in surrender; he was an old opponent of our army, and whether it was during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression or the War of Liberation, he posed a great threat to our army.
A new chapter: the lone hero of the national army
Eyousan's life is destined to leave a complex and profound mark on the giant ship of history. His story is not only a heroic legend during the Anti-Japanese War, but also a betrayal and tragedy during the Liberation War. Eyou San, the lonely general of the national army, was born in a troubled world, with a bumpy fate, and finally embarked on a road full of thorns.
Eyou San, whose real name is Guo, was born in 1911 in Jiuyuan District, Baotou City, Inner Mongolia. His life seemed destined to be accompanied by ups and downs. Shortly after his birth, he was abandoned in the hospital by his parents, but fortunately, a missionary, Obig, adopted him and gave him a new surname. Under the careful care of Obig, Eyou San was able to enjoy a relatively good living environment and obtain educational opportunities. The lifesaver in his early years also sent him to private school, which laid a solid cultural foundation for him.
Eyousan's ingenuity soon became apparent, and he was admitted to Suiyuan No. 1 Middle School, and after graduation, he entered the Huangpu Military Academy, the top military school in China at that time. However, the Whampoa Military Academy had always been regarded as a private domain by the Kuomintang leader Chiang Kai-shek, so most of the students who graduated from this military academy became Chiang Kai-shek's close followers and core forces. Eyou San studied cavalry at the Whampoa Military Academy and performed well in the school, was unanimously favored by the teachers, and even stayed in the school as a teaching assistant.
However, the outbreak of the War of Resistance Against Japan changed everything. As the war situation became tense, Chiang Kai-shek urgently needed a large number of military forces to go to the front, so he transferred the students of the Whampoa Military Academy out of the school and entered the anti-Japanese battlefield. Eyou San was also assigned to return to his hometown of Suiyuan and became the chief of staff of the Third Route Army for People's Self-Defense Against Japan. In this post, Eyou San showed excellent command skills, won many victories in battles with the Japanese army, won the praise of the whole army, and became the core of the troops. At the same time, however, he developed friction with the local Eighth Route Army, which gradually escalated into fierce contradictions. He not only violated the common anti-Japanese program of both sides, but also launched repeated attacks on the Eighth Route Army, bringing heavy casualties to the Eighth Route Army.
In the Suiyuan region, the image of Eyou San is full of complexity. On the one hand, he was an anti-Japanese hero and defeated the Japanese invaders many times, but on the other hand, his methods were cruel and ruthless, and his soldiers wantonly plundered, torturing the local people, and causing countless grievances to accumulate.
After the end of the Second Sino-Japanese War, Eyou San's troops were reorganized and incorporated into the regular army of the Kuomintang and became the Suiyuan Security Division. Because of his outstanding performance on the battlefield and his background at the Whampoa Military Academy, Eyou San was able to continue to lead the unit against the communist army. During the Liberation War, Eyousan's forces posed a serious threat to the PLA, and their high mobility left the PLA infantry units helpless. Eyou San's troops became a powerful tool in the hands of Fu Zuoyi, the commander-in-chief of the North China Suppression, and achieved major combat achievements many times.
However, the most prominent achievement occurred in 1948, the battle known as the "Heart-piercing Battle in Hebei". At that time, the PLA was in the country
The range had already occupied a dominant position, and the North China Field Army began the Battle of Suidong in the south of Chanan, under the offensive of the spring. In the face of the fierce offensive of the North China Field Army, the Nationalist army was defeated one after another, and many battlefields were urgent, and the situation was critical. Fu Zuoyi devised a bold plan, and he decided to take a surprise approach to support the central Hebei region.
The central Hebei region is not only a base area developed during the Anti-Japanese War of our army, but also rich farmland and key industrial facilities, such as military manufacturing, grain processing and textile factories. However, due to his deep isolation, Fu Zuoyi had to send highly mobile troops to support. Fortunately, the cavalry brigade led by Eyou San was stationed in Tianjin, and in order to keep the operation secret, they chose the trail, but due to the high mobility of the cavalry, they soon penetrated deep into the interior of the central Hebei region.
In the face of the sudden cavalry of the Nationalist army, the independent battalion of the North China Subdivision stationed in Beiyizhuang, although it resisted stubbornly, was at a disadvantage in firepower and personnel, and soon routed. Eyou San knew that time was tight and did not have the idea of falling into a vicious war. After destroying the independent battalion, he went straight to the military factory in the central Hebei region and quickly destroyed key facilities.
In the following days, although the North China Division counterattacked several times, all failed because the regular troops were on the front line. During these few days, Eyou San led his troops to wreak havoc in the central Hebei region, causing serious losses. It was not until April 15, when he felt that he had achieved enough results and realized that the front-line troops needed to retreat, that he quietly left.
More than 300 people on our side unfortunately lost their lives, but Eyousan's troops suffered almost no casualties. This battle not only shows Eyouzo's excellent command skills, but also shows his determination, but at the same time accumulates more hatred for him. As an anti-Japanese hero, he did not hesitate to sacrifice the interests of the people, which was cited by our army and the people
