In the Liberation War, every combat unit had to strictly carry out the orders issued by our field army command, but in the Huaihai Campaign, General Chen Geng, whom we know well, did not carry out the orders issued by his superiors, and in the end, his superiors called to support Chen Geng's opinion.
General Chen Geng
What is going on in this matter, today I will introduce it to you in detail.
This incident of General Chen Geng occurred in the second phase of the Huaihai Campaign, when the combat task was to encircle and annihilate the Huang Wei Corps in the Shuangdui ji area, a task that was then taken care of by the Central Plains Field Army, when Chen Geng, as the commander-in-chief of the Eastern Group, led three columns to begin the siege of the Huang Wei Corps.
I thought that the battle would progress relatively smoothly with superior troops, but in fact, the Huang Wei Corps, with the advantages of equipment and terrain, caused great casualties to our Central Plains Field Army, and in the face of setbacks in the attack, General Chen Geng immediately ordered the attack to stop.
If you force an attack, it will only cause the senseless sacrifice of the PLA soldiers, at this time Chen Geng thought for a long time in front of the combat map, and finally chose a safe and imminent operation, and began to organize the soldiers to dig a traffic ditch, so that we can shorten the charging distance of our soldiers and reduce losses.
At this time, the field army command issued a notice to launch a final general offensive on November 29, but the imminent operation had just begun, and it was impossible to complete it in just a few days, so General Chen Geng decided to put forward his own proposal to the field army command, hoping to postpone the time of the general offensive.
It was also Chen Geng who directly dialed Noji's phone, directly explained his opinions and ideas, hoping to be approved, and at this time Noji could not decide such an important matter for a while, and needed to ask the commander of the field army, so Chen Geng could only wait for the telephone notice, waiting is always long, the phone rang, Chen Geng picked up the phone, it was the familiar Chen Geng, inside the phone, Chen Geng directly affirmed Chen Geng's combat suggestions, and said that the battle should be adapted to change, and it is the key to obtaining the final order with the least sacrifice.
Finally, Noji finally changed the battle order, the time of the general offensive was set for December 5, these few days were enough time for Chen Geng to carry out the imminent operation, and as a result, all the waiting was finally rewarded, and when the general offensive was launched, the People's Liberation Army quickly appeared near the enemy's position, greatly reducing the attack distance and achieving very good combat results.
This is our General Chen Geng, insisting on what we think is right, and we will always remember his merits.
