After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War in 1945, the famous Wang Yaowu also led his troops to join the ranks of "suppressing the Communist Party" in Shandong, and it was incumbent on him to act as a vanguard.
However, he met his nemesis, Chen Yi.
Immediately, the changes in the war situation in East China repeatedly exceeded his expectations, and also affected his fate from time to time.
At the beginning of the lunar calendar in 1947, Wang Yaowu and Chen Yi had a big job in Laiwu. In the first battle of Laiwu, the actual battle lasted only three days, but Wang Yaowu's lieutenant general Li Xianzhou, deputy commander of the "appeasement zone", was captured by Chen Yi, and in this battle, he lost his 56,000 horses. In this battle, Chen Yi effortlessly knocked out the great reputation that Wang Yaowu had built up with great difficulty in the eight-year War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression!
Wang Yaowu has been through a hundred battles after all. In front of people, he is a tough guy and is quiet.
However, after the people, his heart ached like blood, and for this reason, this Shandong man cried red eyes. After the defeat of Laiwu, he closed his door and never saw anyone. It was not until Chiang Kai-shek personally flew in from Nanjing to inquire about the defense of Jinan that he walked out of his apartment.
This time, in order to prevent the old man from asking for guilt, Wang Yaowu carefully organized a grand welcoming ceremony and set up a banquet to entertain the president, so that the president could eat the elaborate Yellow River carp, and the fish was eaten alive. But the "old man" was not moved by the good meal, just took a small piece with chopsticks, put it in his mouth and tasted it slowly, and then put down the chopsticks tastelessly:
"I'm not here to eat famous food!"
Wang Yaowu was taken aback.
Fortunately, the "old man" didn't scold people, and didn't say the sentence "Niang Xipi", but he has always been preoccupied, and he rarely spoke when he saw Wang Yaowu, and when he left, he left a sentence:
"Juncai, you know Jinan's military, political, and economic status, and you must keep Jinan safe no matter when. ”
Why doesn't Wang Yaowu understand?
However, only more than a year later, less than two years, Wang Yaowu still lost Jinan, and even took him as a prisoner - it was Chen Yi of the CCP who defeated him.
The book "The Ten Marshals of the Chinese People's Liberation Army: The Little-Known History of the Ten Commanders of the People's Liberation Army" written by Chen Guanren and published by the CPC History Publishing House describes Chen Yi's contest with Wang Yaowu, a famous general of the Nationalist Army.
