Yang Luogeng's regiment marched quickly and successfully surrounded Fu Zuoyi's 35th Army. Chairman Mao breathed a sigh of relief, but expressed concern about the Corps' mistake. In order to solve the war in North China, Chairman Mao decided to use Zhangjiakou and ordered Yang Chengwu's corps to attack Zhangjiakou, and Yang Dezhi's corps marched to the Zijing Pass area to cooperate with Yang Chengwu's corps. However, due to various factors, the three corps made mistakes. The Dongye Advance Corps led by Cheng Zihua also made mistakes in the battle before entering the customs. However, the Battle of Miyun still played a role in attracting Fu Zuoyi. Fu Zuoyi had to transfer troops to the rescue, which eventually led to his trouble. Although Cheng Zihua made mistakes in the battle, he was not too much to blame.
Cheng Zihua does not think it is a pity that he was not awarded a military rank, because the transfer from the army to local work is also a manifestation of ability. Based on the above, we can reorganize the structure of the article as follows: Yang Luogeng's corps successfully surrounded Fu Zuoyi's 35th Army, which made Chairman Mao breathe a sigh of relief. However, in this battle, all three corps mobilized made mistakes, which is rare in history. Fortunately, the enemy overlooked more than we did, and we were victorious. However, Chairman Mao expressed concern and hoped that these mistakes would not leave a legacy for the XPCC.
Especially for the Eastern Field Advance Corps led by Cheng Zihua, they made mistakes in the battle before entering the customs, which worried Chairman Mao. In order to solve the war in North China, Chairman Mao decided to use Zhangjiakou to make a fuss. He ordered Yang Chengwu's corps to attack Zhangjiakou, and Yang Dezhi's corps marched to the Zijing Pass area to cooperate with Yang Chengwu's corps. However, due to factors such as tight time, geographical environment and climate, Yang Dezhi's corps was not able to reach Zhangjiakou in time. The Dongye Advance Corps led by Cheng Zihua also made mistakes in the battle before entering the customs. Fu Zuoyi placed his concubines west of Beiping and secured the passage to Suiyuan.
Chairman Mao saw Fu Zuoyi's plan and decided to use Zhangjiakou to beat Fu Zuoyi's concubines. Fu Zuoyi sent the 35th Army to Zhangjiakou, which provided an opportunity for Chairman Mao to attack. However, the first of the three corps to make a mistake was Cheng Zihua's Dongye Advance Regiment. They did not enter the customs through Shanhaiguan, but chose Xifengkou and cold entrance. This move tried to paralyze Fu Zuoyi, but did not deliberately hide his actions along the way. When Fu Zuoyi learned that the East Field Force had entered the customs, he did not pay much attention to it. He believed that this unit was only part of the North China Army, not the main force of the Eastern Field.
Fu Zuoyi later also learned that Cheng Zihua's troops were actually Nie Rongzhen's troops, belonging to the troops in North China. Although Cheng Zihua's Dongye Advance Corps made mistakes in the Battle of Miyun, they still played a role in attracting Fu Zuoyi. The Battle of Miyun was an important battle faced by the Eastern Field Advance Corps led by Cheng Zihua. Despite the mistakes, Cheng Zihua was not too much to blame. In fact, Chairman Mao did not criticize Cheng Zihua much, and even issued several orders to commend the whole army. However, in the minds of some, this mistake was magnified as a representative of the entire campaign, resulting in Cheng Zihua not being awarded a military rank.
However, for Cheng Zihua, it is not a pity that he was not awarded a military rank. In war years, the role of military chiefs is greater than that of local chiefs, but in peacetime, the importance of local construction is even greater. Therefore, being able to transfer from the army to local work is also a manifestation of ability. Summary: Despite some mistakes in the battle, the Eastern Field Advance Corps led by Cheng Zihua still played a role in attracting Fu Zuoyi in the Battle of Miyun. Although Cheng Zihua was not awarded a military rank and transferred to local work, this is not a pity. He demonstrated his abilities during the war years and was able to contribute to local construction in peacetime.
Chairman Mao expressed concern about the Corps' mistakes, but in subsequent battles, the Corps was victorious. Although some people over-magnify Cheng Zihua's mistakes, we should look at his achievements and contributions objectively. For this period of history, we should think that the requirements of war years and peacetime are different, and how can we evaluate those who have performed well in war years but have not received due recognition in peacetime?
