Chapter 165 7. Jiang Jun's two division commanders were arrested

The enemy's 32nd and 74th divisions, which were surrounded by the Sixth Battalion, broke through and were completely defeated by the field army. The 59th regiment was ordered to capture the fleeing enemies eastward after dusk. On a moonless night in July 1947, the stars in the sky were smiling brightly, as if congratulating us on our victory. The night breeze was breezy, and even though it was hot summer, it was slightly cool.The sorghum leaves on the roadside were rustling by the wind, and the soldiers' bayonets were shining.Although everyone has been fighting for days, they are still refreshed. They are advancing along a road on the side of the mountain at a speed of six to seven kilometers per hour. How many more can we catch tonight?" From time to time, there was a cold shot, which made the land even more silent.

Suddenly, on the right side of the team, through a sorghum field, there were disorderly footsteps, "Which one?" The gun is ready to charge. "Don't shoot", "We are Unit 202", the person on the other side replied with a tone of fear.When the soldiers saw the scattered situation, they knew it must be the enemy, "We are also 202, a family, come here!" They immediately replied alertly.Then a group of people came up all at once, and as soon as they were 20 meters away from the soldiers of the 59th regiment, they were surrounded by the 5th company, and quickly handed over the enemy's guns.There was a short, fat man among the group of people who took out his American pistol, and was caught by Comrade Liang Ertai, the commander of the 5th company: "You are..." "We are the People's Liberation Army, don't be afraid, we treat prisoners preferentially! "Dozens of other people also obediently became prisoners!"Company Commander Liang saw that the fat guy was not quite right, and asked him: "It seems that you are an official, what are you doing?" "No—I, I am an official!" "You tell the truth, don't be afraid!" The guy hesitated and didn't know how to answer.Company Commander Liang tactfully lied to him: "Are you the division commander?" The guy answered truthfully: "Yes, I am Chen Yiding, the division commander of the 70th Division!" When we were about to transfer him to the superior, he said, "Don't panic, Now that's the case, there is my buddy and deputy division commander Luo Zhedong in the crowd behind! If you want to give it, just give it a piece!" "Very good, very good!" The soldiers immediately found Luo Zhedong from the group of prisoners.In this way, the chief and deputy commanders of the 70th Division of Jiang's reorganization obediently became prisoners of the People's Liberation Army.

The pair of division commanders were in a terrible state of distress. They wore the ragged military uniforms of ordinary Jiang army soldiers, without leggings, belts, and hats. Their bald, round heads were sweating from the sun. When they were resting at Zhifangji, they saw groups of subordinates who were captured like them, saw our joyful expressions, and saw the warm welcome of the masses to our army. They couldn't help sighing and said: "What else can I say?" , There is no second Japanese-style equipment like the 70th Division in the Chinese army (referring to Chiang’s army), but you have solved it twice, why didn’t Chiang Kai-shek fail!”
