No one would have imagined that the "old peasants" who had been lurking in the mountains for many years and were bent on planting trees and planting trees actually had a big secret hidden in their hearts. When the media reporter met the old man in the Jade Emperor Mountain, the old man was old, and his silver beard carried the vicissitudes of the years.
He was not an ordinary peasant, Marshal Chen Yi met him and presented him with awards; he went from the battlefield of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression to the battlefield of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, experiencing dozens of battles of all sizes, with many scars on his body and many military merit badges on his chest.
The old man could not have imagined that one of his experiences would cause a historical suspense. Some people believe that Zhang Lingfu, the former "general star" of Chiang Kai-shek, was captured first and then died, and the East China Field Army of the People's Liberation Army once issued an autopsy report on Zhang Lingfu, according to which Zhang Lingfu died of a brain penetrating wound. Therefore, some people believe that Zhang Lingfu is tall and can only be shot from the back of the head if he is captured and kneeling.
The second from the left in the front row is Zhang Lingfu
Of course, some people absolutely disagree with this view, they believe that Zhang Lingfu committed suicide, and that he committed suicide en masse with his command organ personnel. Chiang Kai-shek is one of the people who hold this view, and he has always believed that Zhang Lingfu killed himself and was a "hero" of the party-state. In October 1988, a magazine published an article that completely denied the claim that Zhang Lingfu was killed by the People's Liberation Army, and strongly supported the view that Zhang Lingfu and his colleagues collectively committed suicide. At that time, this article attracted widespread attention, and the viewpoint of the article was very similar to Jiang Ren's "Tribute to the Seventy-fourth Division", all of which believed that in the Battle of Menglianggu that year, more than 20 senior generals such as Zhang Lingfu, commander of the 74th Division of the Reorganized 74th Division of the Jiang Army, died by themselves, and the tragedy was tragic and tragic.
Is this really the case? In an interview with reporters in 2004, the 80-year-old Ge Zhaotian said the secret that had been buried in his heart for more than 20 years, and he knew that if he did not open his mouth again, perhaps the truth of history would be completely submerged, and Zhang Lingfu's death would become a mystery that could never be solved.
Speaking of Zhang Lingfu's death, the old man's mood did not have a little wave, he said that Zhang Lingfu was a very crazy person, before the war, he was a member of the Yan clan, and he was also a whole series of American mechanized equipment divisions of the first class, and he did not pay attention to the East China Field Army at all, and he instructed the troops to drive Chen Yi into the East China Sea to feed the fish. The soldiers of the People's Liberation Army thought that the reorganized 74th Division was very funny, and from the perspective of it, it was a bit of a bare-ass wolf, bold and shameless.
Elder Ge Zhaotian said that it was the evening of May 13, 1947, when the 1st and 8th Columns of the East China Field Army used terrain cover to quietly grope into the depth of the 74th Division of Chiang Kai-shek's reorganized army, cutting off the connection between the reorganized 74th Division of Chiang Kai-shek's army and other Chiang kai-shek forces with lightning speed, causing it to become a "lone army" and a dead chess piece in Menglianggu.
At the critical juncture, a classic scene of Jiang Jun in the film and television works appeared, Zhang Lingfu asked Jiang for help while calling other generals of the Jiang army, "Looking at the division of colleagues, pulling the brothers" "Look at the points of the same Huangpu line, save the brothers"... The colleagues were originally the same forest birds, and when the great calamity came, they flew separately, and the faces of the "party-state" and "Huangpu" were not very good, and finally under the persecution of Jiang Someone, the nearby departments of The Jiang Army had to lazily extend a helping hand to the reorganized 74th Division. In view of the sudden change in the battlefield, HuaYe ordered all the blocking troops to resolutely block the reinforcement of the enemy, although this is a bit like the tactics of encircling points to fight for reinforcements, but this time it is different, Huaye's main target is to block the reinforcements.
In an instant, the 1st Column, 4th Column, 6th Column, 8th Column, 9th Column and other 5 columns of the East China Field Army fell like a fierce tiger, and at the same time pounced on the reorganized 74th Division of Chiang Kai-shek's army led by Zhang Lingfu. The 23rd Division of the East China Field Army took the lead in capturing Wanquan Mountain, and then used Wanquan Mountain as a fulcrum to pounce on the central position of Chiang Kai-shek's 74th Division, and Zhang Lingfu's headquarters could not be attacked for a long time. Dai Wenxian, deputy commander of the 23rd Division, immediately dispatched elite soldiers and strong generals from the division's guard platoon and some companies to form a commando group to attack Zhang Lingfu's headquarters, and Ge Zhaotian was a member of the commando team.
Zhang Lingfu was a thief, and he placed his headquarters under the root of the cliff and built a wall with stones, which could block stray bullets on the one hand, and as a cover on the other hand.
Each assault group of the 23rd Division's commando team consisted of 6 soldiers and 1 cadre, and took turns to attack Zhang Lingfu's headquarters. In the face of the cunning Zhang Lingfu, the first few assault groups failed, and when Ge Zhaotian's group rushed up, only the deputy company commander was left with him and another soldier.
In order to scare the enemy who did not know the truth, Ge Zhaotian pretended to be a profanity. Zhang Lingfu, who had become a bird of fright, and the others walked out of the command post. The officer who walked in the front was a bit of a chicken thief, and when he saw that there were only 3 PLA soldiers standing there, he immediately shot and strafed.
The deputy company commander was hit and fell to the ground wounded. Ge Zhaotian suddenly burst into flames, picked up the submachine gun as a shuttle, and the lame Officer Of the Jiang Army, who was walking in front, fell to the ground in response, and the remaining enemies immediately took the initiative to surrender their weapons.
At that time, Ge Zhaotian also didn't know who he was, that is, he felt that this guy had more than enough to do with his death. Coincidentally, just at this moment, Dai Wenxian, deputy commander of the 23rd Division, rushed up, and when he saw the scene in front of him, he was very angry, and the plan to capture Zhang Lingfu alive was shattered. ”
"I killed him." Ge Zhaotian said.
"Why did you kill him?" I'm going to punish you!" Deputy Division Commander Dai was furious.
"He hit me, I don't hit him?" Old Jiang hit me, and I dared to shoot too! Ge Zhaotian did not know why he asked rhetorically.
After the war, Ge Zhaotian heard that Zhang Lingfu, the commander of the reorganized 74th Division, had not been captured alive, and he couldn't help but feel some remorse, but when he learned that Zhang Lingfu was also lame, his heart was not so calm. When the superiors first formulated the established policy of capturing Zhang Lingfu alive, Ge Zhaotian beat him to death, which was a major violation of discipline, and he wanted to report to the organization, but he remembered the words of Deputy Division Commander Dai and was afraid of being punished, so he hid this mystery in his heart. When Old Man Ge Zhaotian said this, his look was a little dim, and he muttered to himself, he was not sure at that time, nor did he believe that it was Zhang Lingfu who he had killed, perhaps it was a coincidence. I hid this from the organization all my life, but I didn't expect to make a big trouble.
It was not until after the outbreak of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea that Ge Zhaotian confirmed from his comrade-in-arms Zhu Fanyou that what happened on the battlefield of Meng Lianggu was not a coincidence, and that the lame officer of the Jiang Army he killed was Zhang Lingfu. At that time, Zhu Fanyou was Zhang Lingfu's guard, and was captured by Ge Zhaotian in the Battle of Meng Lianggu, and later, Zhu Fanyou joined the People's Liberation Army and was in the same squad with Ge Zhaotian, until they reached the battlefield of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, and they became comrades-in-arms without saying anything.
That day, in his spare time, Zhu Fanyou said to Ge Zhaotian, In the Battle of Menglianggu, the lame officer you killed was Zhang Lingfu, why didn't you reflect it to your superiors, and you were not sure that you could make a great contribution? Ge Zhaotian's heart was moved, but when he remembered Deputy Division Commander Dai, he said, "Why did you kill him?" I want to punish you" and withdrew, and in this way, Old Man Ge Zhaotian hid the truth about killing Zhang Lingfu deep in his memory.
