Chapter 21 Chapter Twenty

The Yangtze River defense line was broken in one blow, which was completely expected by Liu Bocheng, but Jiang Jun escaped faster than originally expected.He judged that: the battle situation has taken a turn for the worse, but the enemy still has the possibility of continuing to organize resistance.The enemy army fled south in an organized manner, and it is likely that they wanted to use the Qiantang River, the Shanghai-Hangzhou Highway and the Zhejiang-Jiangxi Road to form a new line of defense based on the Anhui-Zhejiang mountainous areas.At present, the Beijing-Shanghai Railway and the Beijing-Hangzhou Highway have been cut off by Sanye, and the Zhejiang-Jiangxi Railway and the Huizhou-Hangzhou Highway have become the only channels for the enemy to retreat.Thinking of this, Liu Bocheng asked the combat staff to send a report to the General Front Committee.He pondered and said:

"According to the trend of the enemy's breakthrough in the Jiang defense turning into chaos, the traffic and food conditions between Huangshan and Poyang, and the situation of our army after crossing the river, we can decide not to use the main force and Sanye to cross the movement to the Nanjing area, but to go straight out with all our strength. Guixi, Shangrao, and Shexian County point to the line from Jinxian to Yiwu on the Zhejiang-Jiangxi Road. In this way, we can not only cut off the connection between the Jiang and Guangxi enemies, but also relax the Guangxi enemy and use all our strength to detour the Jiang enemy's back."

Deng Xiaoping and Chen Yi immediately replied to agree.Therefore, Liu Bocheng ordered Chen Geng's 4th Corps to cancel the original mission to take over Nanjing, and instead go out to the east and west areas of Shangrao along the right side of the 5th Corps, and cooperate with the 3rd and 5th Corps to wipe out the enemies on the Zhejiang-Jiangxi line, and develop eastward according to the situation, expanding the scheduled The scope of the Beijing-Shanghai-Hangzhou campaign.The 3rd and 5th Corps still pursued the original target to Shexian County and Quxian County, and coordinated with Sanye to attack the enemies in the Beijing, Shanghai and Hangzhou areas.

The 3rd, 4th, and 5th corps of the second field were divided into three directions, targeting Huizhou, Shangrao, and Guixi respectively, and launched a large pursuit spanning more than 500 kilometers. The three corps went out of the Zhejiang-Jiangxi line together.Chen Xilian and Xie Fuzhi led the 10th, 11th, and 12th armies of the 3rd Corps to the left, pointing directly at Jinhua and Longyou. Yang Yong and Su Zhenhua commanded the 16th, 17th, and 18th armies of the 5th Corps in the middle, pointing directly at Quxian County and Jiangshan. Chen Geng led the 13th, 14th, and 15th armies of the 4th Corps to the right, pointing directly at Hengfeng and Guixi.

The three corps were like three streams of rivers bursting their embankments, rushing for thousands of miles, flowing across southern Anhui in a few days, and in less than half a month, irrigated the sweet spring that gave the people a new life to most of the land in northeast Jiangxi and Zhejiang. Wang Jinshan, deputy commander of the 3rd Corps and commander of the 12th Army, commanded the commando to land on the south bank of the Yangtze River. After the enemy retreated across the board, they fled in embarrassment.Wang Jinshan was a fierce general. Seeing that there was no tough battle in crossing the river, he felt itchy in his heart, so he ordered Li Desheng, the commander of the 35th Division: "Chasing! I must catch up with Liu Ruming's main force."

After receiving the order, Li Desheng led his army to chase for more than 100 kilometers in two days.Along the way, we only met some scattered resistance from the enemy, but we still haven't caught the enemy's main force. On April 25th, Wang Jinshan ordered Li Desheng's 35th Division to rush towards Huizhou, taking advantage of the enemy's unstable foothold, and wiped it out in one fell swoop.Wang Jinshan said: "In future pursuit operations, we should carry forward a high degree of bravery and tenacity. We must boldly detour, divide, encircle and annihilate; Pursue without fear of difficulties. Pursue without rest for 20 days and one month. Pursue hard, pursue fiercely, pursue to the end, until all this enemy is wiped out."

Master Li Desheng and political commissar Li Ruhai studied the situation together, and judged that there must be the main force of the enemy in Huizhou City. This is a piece of "fat meat" and must be "eat" it.But at that time the army was still in Taiping Town, 80 kilometers away from Huizhou, and it took two days to go to Huizhou along the road.If it took two days to get there, the enemy might have fled again. Li Desheng found on the map that in the mountains east of Taiping, there is a small road leading to Huizhou, which is 35 kilometers closer than the road. 35 kilometers can shorten a day's journey.But to go this way, you have to climb a mountain that is 20 kilometers up and down.The troops have been marching and fighting continuously for several days, and they are already very tired.But in order to be able to catch the enemy, Li Desheng finally decided to take a shortcut.

In the early morning, the troops set off and soon came to the foot of the mountain.Along the rugged and winding mountain road, the soldiers climbed up one after the other, without seeing the end in front and the end in the back. If anyone stopped for a moment, they would be rushed by the one behind.Along the march, comrades engaged in propaganda work posted it?There are many slogans. They also set up a large red and green shed on the top of the mountain, hung up the portraits of Chairman Mao and Commander-in-Chief Zhu, and wrote the agitation slogan "Put the victory banner in the south of the Yangtze River".The soldiers also chanted while walking: "Come on and chase! Climb over the mountain to eat 'fat meat'!"

It took more than half a day to climb over the 20-kilometer mountain, and the vanguard arrived at a place only 15 kilometers away from Huizhou City that night. At this time, Li Desheng received a telegram from Wang Jinshan, ordering him to quickly cut off the Hui (zhou) Hangzhou (zhou) highway, surround Huizhou, and prevent the enemy from fleeing.Li Desheng immediately ordered the 104th Regiment, which served as the rear guard, to detour 35 kilometers, insert it to the east of Huizhou, and cut off the Huizhou-Hangzhou Highway. Li Desheng's determination is very bold. The interspersed detour of the 104th regiment is completely in-depth alone, working alone? , it is possible to successfully capture the enemy and prevent the enemy from escaping, or it may fall into the enemy's siege and fight a fierce battle.Li Desheng instructed Zhang Lianfu, the head of the regiment: "If you catch the enemy, don't let it escape. In case of emergency, you must persist, and we will come soon!"

After Zhang Lianfu left, the remaining 103 regiments did not immediately attack the Huizhou enemy. Eight hours later, Li Desheng estimated that the 104th regiment had cut off the Huihang Highway before leading the 103rd regiment in action.The troops advanced in the rain and soon approached Huizhou City. The enemy in the city sets the main defense direction to the north.The Southwest is relatively empty.There is a small river here, which flows south around the city, and the enemy uses it as a natural defensive barrier.Li Desheng ordered the troops to wade across the river from here.Without hesitation, the soldiers quickly rolled up their trousers and descended into the river.

In the smoky rain, the enemy on the city saw this army crossing the river without firing a shot, and never thought it was the People's Liberation Army.It wasn't until they approached the edge of the city that the soldiers' guns rang out, and the enemy panicked and fired back indiscriminately.The enemy defending on the corner of the city quickly collapsed under the sudden attack of the People's Liberation Army.When the enemies in the city saw the People's Liberation Army coming in, they were in a mess and rushed to escape outside the city.One ran up the mountain to the northeast, and the other ran eastward along the Huihang Highway. When Zhang Lianfu's 104th Regiment was about to detour to the Huizhou-Hangzhou Highway, the outpost suddenly discovered that a large number of enemies on the eastern highway were heading towards Huizhou. The task of the 104th regiment is to intercept the enemies fleeing eastward from Huizhou to Hangzhou, but now there is a large group of enemies coming from Hangzhou to Huizhou. What should we do?The situation was sudden, and it was too late to ask for instructions. Zhang Lianfu made up his mind decisively: "Where does it come from, eat it!" Commander Zhang quickly ordered the troops in front to launch a surprise attack, and the frightened and dizzy enemies immediately became confused.The battle ended in less than an hour, and more than 1,200 prisoners were captured.It turned out that this group of enemies was the enemy's 2nd Division that had fled from the direction of Hangzhou, and the major general and commander were also among them and became prisoners. Just after the battle, a jeep came from Huizhou, and the soldiers quickly captured it.After interrogation, it was learned that he came to notify the 2nd Temporary Division to flee south as soon as possible and not to go to Huizhou, because "the communist army is already approaching the city." Zhang Lianfu humorously said to the enemy officer: "There is no need to go south now, let's go to Huizhou to meet the 106th Army!" After the 104th regiment settled the temporary 2nd division, it proceeded to Huizhou along the highway as originally planned.At this time, the head of the regiment Zhang also received a telegram from the division commander Li Desheng, knowing that the enemies in Huizhou City were fleeing towards them. Sure enough, after a while, the fleeing enemy was found ahead.The enemy was crowding forward and backward on the road in a mess. They never dreamed that there was a People's Liberation Army waiting in front of them.The People's Liberation Army didn't need to shoot at all. It only needed a loud shout to scare the enemy out of their courage and surrender a large group. The enemy in front became a prisoner, and ran back when he saw that the situation was not right.At this time, the 103rd regiment also caught up, and thousands of enemies had to lay down their weapons. The enemy in the middle was climbing the big mountain in the east of the city, and the People's Liberation Army caught up and "competed" with the enemy to climb the mountain.The enemy climbed up from the west, and the People's Liberation Army climbed up from the east.The enemy has reached the mountainside, and the People's Liberation Army has also reached the mountainside.The People's Liberation Army soldiers who were running ahead had a thought and all dropped their backpacks.Packed lightly, I finally reached the top of the mountain one step earlier. The soldiers sat on the mountain and did not shoot, looking at the enemy.The enemy didn't dare to climb up, and squatted halfway up the mountain, not daring to move around.It was getting dark, and the mountains were full of fleeing enemies.The People's Liberation Army at the foot of the mountain surrounded them again from below.At dawn the next day, the People's Liberation Army fired a few shots at the place where there were many enemies, and immediately several officers limped out waving white flags.Ten minutes later, the enemy's regiment leader led a whole regiment, carrying guns and cannons, and surrendered down the mountain. On the night of May 1st, the 35th Division continued to pursue the enemy's 73rd Army southward.On the hill east of Weiping, they overtook the fleeing enemy.The enemy thought that the People's Liberation Army would walk along the main road and would not be able to catch up for a while, so they set up cooking pots on the mountain to boil water, wash rice, and wash vegetables. They were so busy that they wanted to have a hot meal.Unexpectedly, this delay, the People's Liberation Army suddenly inserted from behind. The panic-stricken enemies ran away, the boiling water was still boiling in the pot, they didn't eat any food, they didn't want any vegetables, and their clothes and luggage were thrown all over the mountain. The panicked enemy dropped a regiment of "broken rear".At this time, a reinforced company of the People's Liberation Army took a boat down the Xin'an River and arrived just in time.They were well prepared for the journey, without military caps and with bare heads.The enemy couldn't tell the difference, and asked loudly, "Which part do you belong to?" The people on the boat replied: "The 85th Army, don't fight, I misunderstood and killed your head!" Seeing the menacing approach, the other party really didn't dare to shoot.The People's Liberation Army quickly pulled the boat ashore, pointed the bayonet at the enemy sentinel as soon as they got off the boat, and shouted: "Give up your guns and don't kill! We are the People's Liberation Army." Seeing this scene from a distance, the deputy head of the enemy shouted: "Don't get me wrong! Don't shoot." A new soldier who had just been liberated two days ago walked out of the PLA ranks, and said to the deputy commander of the enemy: "There is no misunderstanding, come here! I recognize you." After annihilating a regiment left by the enemy as a cover, the 103rd and 104th regiments did not take a breather, and quickly chased southward. After an hour or two, they came to a mountain about ten kilometers away from Chun'an County.The mountain is very dangerous, and the road circles halfway up the mountain, which is narrow and steep.At the foot of the mountain is the big river beach of Xin'an River. The enemy company left here was solved by the People's Liberation Army in a few strokes. During the battle, the sound of noisy motors could already be heard ahead.The soldiers knew that the enemy's large force was ahead, and they became more energetic. They ran and said, "Hurry up and catch the enemy's car." Looking over the top of the mountain, there are more than 200 vehicles on the road ahead and on the river beach from the mountainside to the river.On the narrow winding mountain road, these cars scrambled to escape and squeeze forward desperately. The mountain was high and the road was narrow.Some cars climbed on the hillside, some got stuck in the mud, some got stuck on the beach, some parked in the middle of the river, unable to move head to tail, and some turned their wheels upside down by the side of the road... The car is full of various supplies, suitcases... There are also some government wives who are painted and painted, as well as military bands with big and small trumpets on their backs, and Peking Opera troupes with spears and swords... When the prisoners were caught and questioned, it turned out that they belonged to the Hou Jingru Corps and the Anhui Provincial Government of the Kuomintang. The troops chased and advanced all the way, crossed Chun'an, and pointed to Jiande.When I was half a mile away from Jiande, I heard a burst of ping-pong-pong in front of me.At first I thought it was gunshots, but after listening carefully, it sounded like firecrackers.After a while, a large group of fellow villagers came to welcome us. Li Desheng was very surprised: "How do the common people know that we have arrived? Did all the enemies in Jiande City escape again!" At this moment, the reconnaissance staff officer who set off with the reconnaissance company came out of the crowd, and saluted and reported to the division commander with a smile.It turned out that when they arrived in Jiande by car yesterday, the enemies here had already fled, leaving only some security forces stationed.The investigation solved them in a row. Under the command of Li Desheng, the 35th Division continued to approach the Zhejiang-Jiangxi line without stopping. On May 7, the main force of the 35th Division rushed 75 kilometers from Jiande, liberated Lanxi and Jinhua, and cut off the Zhejiang-Jiangxi line. In the evening of that day, the division command post moved into a small town only 15 kilometers away from Jinhua.While having dinner, the radio operator sent an urgent message from the military headquarters: "The remnants of the Shanghai-Hangzhou enemy are fleeing south along the Zhejiang-Jiangxi line. Your troops should occupy the Yiwu and Dongyang areas as soon as possible to block the enemy fleeing south." Li Desheng and deputy division commander He Guanghua read the telegram and felt that the situation was extremely urgent, so they ordered the staff to open the map and study while eating?Condition. From the map, the distance from Jinhua to Yiwu is about 60 kilometers, and it takes about one and a half days for the troops to move.Obviously, it was too late to run.After much deliberation, Li and He decided to take a bold action: take the train from Jinhua to Yiwu.At that time, I didn't know much about the situation along the railway line, and I didn't know how the railway was damaged. Li Desheng asked Deputy Teacher He to rush to Jinhua Station at Xingye. After mobilization, he finally got the train.At dawn, Li Desheng brought the headquarters to the station.He Guanghua and others decided to immediately summon the cadres of each regiment and arrange them to board the car.Half an hour later, the Qianwei 103rd Regiment all arrived at the station and got on the train. In order to cope with possible battles that may occur at any time on the way, the doors of all compartments are all open.Inside the truck compartment, the two large iron doors that were opened were tied tightly with thick hemp rope to prevent them from being closed after driving.Mortars and heavy machine guns are mounted on both sides of the iron gate. The shooters are organized into groups and arranged in the order of disembarkation. If they find a situation on the way, they can quickly dismount and occupy the position.In the passenger compartment, light machine guns were placed on the coffee table, and the soldiers were holding bayonet-mounted rifles and discussing happily.On the coal car, two machine guns were erected facing the front.The reconnaissance platoon leader of the regiment stood on the left side of the driver, who was responsible for looking ahead, and installed a telephone to contact the battalion commander behind him at any time. All preparations were done as required.Li Desheng said to the head of the avant-garde regiment with satisfaction: "Let's drive! I wish you victory." The train roared twice, then slowly left the station in the morning glow. In the afternoon, when the sun was about to set, He Guanghua arrived in Yiwu with the last train. As soon as the train entered the station, the platform was crowded with people.The front row also held a large slogan "Welcome the National Army". When the People's Liberation Army got out of the car, they were stunned like logs.The security regiment behind was shouting "Salute to the hard-working national army", until they were handed over by our army, a guy said: "Don't get me wrong..." Later, I heard from comrades in the guerrillas that the county magistrate of Yiwu was the most flattering. He didn't know where he heard that a military train was coming from the station today, so he thought it was a certain unit of the national army who was going to station in Yiwu.To please?He came to the station himself to welcome him. The troops drove to Yiwu at a speed that the enemy had never expected.At this time, neither the enemy nor the enemy knew the situation.Afterwards, I found out that when the division was resting in Yiwu City at night, the enemy who fled from Hangzhou was camping outside the city, only 10 kilometers away. At dawn, dust and smoke billowed on the east road, and 6 cars recklessly drove towards the station of the 103rd regiment at the east gate.This is the vanguard battalion of the 318th Division coming out of Hangzhou, and they were immediately disarmed.Seeing that the situation was not good, the enemy's main force immediately turned around and fled. When Li Desheng was arranging battles outside Dongyang City, the division headquarters in Yiwu called and said that there was an emergency and asked him to go back immediately.Li Desheng rushed back to the division command post, and the staff officer told him: "The 110th Division of the enemy's 85th Army, which was blocked on the North Mountain of Yiwu, felt that there was no way out? They fled and came to negotiate with the PLA, saying that they wanted an 'uprising'." When Li Desheng heard this, he immediately said: "What kind of uprising! Now the time has passed, surrender as soon as possible, or it will be resolved by force." The 11th Army of the 3rd Corps, under the command of Army Commander Zeng Shaoshan and Political Commissar Bao Xianzhi, successfully broke through the natural danger of the Yangtze River, and arrived at Yinjiahui, a small town in southern Anhui, on April 23 when the sky was light.The troops ran into nothing here again, and the enemy had already slipped away with oil on their feet.The two heads Zeng and Bao decided to leave a small number of troops to search under the leadership of the masses, and the main force continued to advance to expand the results of the battle. During the pursuit, the 6 soldiers broke away from the main force at some point.When it was already dark, suddenly a large group of black figures rushed in front of them, walking fast and panting, like bereaved dogs.The soldiers concluded that this was the enemy, but there were only 6 of them, but there were hundreds of enemies. It was too late to go back to find the big troops, so a soldier was quick to think, and asked loudly to the black crowd: "Which army is it?" "We...the 4th Security Regiment...the 2nd Assault Brigade..." An enemy officer replied tremblingly. The six soldiers of the People's Liberation Army shouted in unison: "We are the People's Liberation Army! A net has already been laid here, whoever dares to resist, resolutely wipe out! Hand in your guns and surrender, preferential treatment will not kill!" The sudden roar frightened this group of hungry and hopeless enemies.The enemy suddenly looked like a hornet in a punctured hornet's nest, pushing and bumping, running here and there, fleeing for their lives. The soldiers shouted again in unison: "There are People's Liberation Army on all sides, there is no other way out except to surrender their guns!" The enemies, who had already become terrified, were completely overwhelmed, and soon lined up and raised their hands to surrender. That night, Zeng Shaoshan set up the army command post in Yinjiahui.At midnight, Commander Zeng received a report: The 174th Division of the Kuomintang Army had retreated to the vicinity of Yinjiahui, and its vanguard had been blocked by the 93rd Regiment on the Songling Line. The enemy's 174th Division is one of the trump cards of the Guangxi Clan. It has confronted the 11th Army several times in the Dabie Mountains in the past.This time when the enemies met, they were extremely jealous.Zeng Shaoshan immediately mobilized the main force of the two divisions, formed a pincer shape, and launched a siege against the enemy's 174th division. At this time, the 174th Division's army was in a state of confusion, with no fighting spirit. It had lost its previous prestige and was vulnerable to a single blow. It took only a few hours to be wiped out. After dawn, wear in large numbers?The captives, covered in mud and in tattered uniforms, were dejectedly taken to their positions by the People's Liberation Army.Some of the captives were barefoot, and some had their hats off, like a bunch of prawns.This anti-communist force of the Kuomintang finally ended its life under the iron fist of Liu Deng's army. The 174th Division was surrounded and wiped out, and the 11th Army took advantage of the victory to pursue southward.After leaving Yinjiahui, the ground was full of luggage abandoned by the defeated Kuomintang army, corpses, and wounded soldiers lying dying on the side of the road. In the early morning of April 25, the vanguard of the 11th Army arrived at the foot of the famous Dahong Ridge in southern Anhui. Dahongling is a corner of the Huangshan Mountains, seven miles up and eight miles down.The cliffs here are towering and dangerous, not to mention the enemy's defense, even ordinary marching is very difficult.Except for a stone-built stair path on the mountain, what is there everywhere?There are dense forests, dense bushes, and patches of moso bamboo forests and weeds as tall as a person.The top of the mountain cannot be seen from the bottom of the mountain, and the mountainside is covered by misty white clouds. The enemy's 96th Army, which was fleeing in embarrassment and exhausted, tried to use the natural danger of Dahongling to stop the advance of the People's Liberation Army, so as to have a chance to breathe, rejuvenate, eat a full stomach, sleep, and tidy up the remnants before retreating and fleeing.Therefore, they seized Dahong Ridge, controlled the main peak of Dahong Ridge and various strategic passes, deployed quite powerful troops and firearms on it, and sealed off a unique mountain road tightly. But the enemy was wrong.They didn't know what kind of troops they were facing.This army fought the Japanese devils on the Taihang Mountains, and it is also a fierce tiger and lion on the Dabie Mountains.Don't they just have a lot of combat experience?There are also very dexterous tactical means, and more importantly, they are very good at mountain combat.A small Dahong Ridge is not under the words of this army at all. Seeing that the front was blocked and it was inconvenient to attack by force, the vanguard of the 11th Army immediately changed its course, climbed up the cliff from a place where no one had walked, drilled through the dense forest, and suddenly detoured back to the enemy's sides. After descending this steep Dahong Ridge, it opened up a smooth road for the follow-up troops. The remnants of the enemy's 96th Army saw that the People's Liberation Army had detoured to both sides of the main peak, and hurriedly left Dahongling and fled south.But as soon as they fled to the foot of the mountain, they were greeted by rumbling artillery and intensive machine gunfire.The enemy had no way to escape, so he had no choice but to capture them without a fight. The 11th Army chased all the way, pierced through Qimen and Tunxi, and advanced towards the Zhejiang-Jiangxi line. In the drizzle in May in the south of the Yangtze River, the three armies of the 5th Corps of the Central Road, under the command of Yang Yong and Su Zhenhua, chased after them all the way. In order to prevent the enemy from escaping, the 49th Division of the 17th Army sent Wang Jusheng, the chief of the reconnaissance section, to lead a team of scouts, as the vanguard of the pursuit, striding forward in the mountains, forests and water networks in northeastern Jiangxi.The soldiers were soaked all over, rain and sweat mixed together? .But no one ignored these, marching more than 50 kilometers a day, heading south. Along the way, they are like a broken bamboo, without hindrance. On May 4, they arrived in Jingdezhen and accepted the surrender of more than 900 people from the Kuomintang agency and a security regiment.Afterwards, the scouts continued to approach the Zhejiang-Jiangxi line and arrived at Yangliushudi Village, 15 kilometers away from Yushan City. In the small street of Yangliushudi Village, Section Chief Wang was trying to find out about the situation from his fellow villagers. The soldiers caught a Kuomintang officer who had escaped from Yushan City. The officer explained: "In Yushan City, there are about 10,000 people in the enemy's 55th Army, the 181st Division, a part of the 96th Division, the Engineering Corps, and the Police Corps. They have just fled to Yushan and are preparing to continue fleeing south. .” Wang Jusheng inquired in detail about the enemy's garrison and Yu?He immediately drew a sketch of the terrain and sent people back to the division headquarters, suggesting that Yushan should be quickly encircled and wiped out to escape the enemy. On the morning of May 5, the People's Liberation Army began to attack Yushan County. As soon as the gunshots rang out, the enemy panicked. Not long after, Yushan County was liberated. On May 6, the 49th Division captured Qinghu Town and blocked the neck of the enemy fleeing south to Fujian. When the 3rd Corps on the left and the 5th Corps on the middle pursued for thousands of miles, Chen Geng led the 4th Corps on the right to pursue them all the way without stopping. On April 27, the enemy's 68th Army fled southward desperately.Chen Geng ordered Qin Jiwei and Zhou Xihan to lead the 15th and 13th armies in pursuit, in order to wipe out the enemy. On April 29, it rained heavily.Chen Geng ordered all the armies to pursue the enemy regardless of everything, in order to wipe out Liu Ruming's troops. On the way to Jingdezhen, Chen Geng saw that the marching troops on both sides of the road were disorganized, some were wearing cloaks, some were holding umbrellas, and some were still picking vegetables and meat on their guns, so he stopped the car angrily and told the staff Peng Yikun went to the front to find the commander of this unit. Peng Yikun rushed to the small village ahead, just in time for them to rest there.As soon as I found out that it was another corps, I said to them: "Commander Chen Geng was very upset when he saw that your troops were disorganized. He will come in a while, and you only have to review and don't say anything else." When the leader of the team heard that Chen Geng had arrived, he became nervous.He hurriedly sent people to notify everywhere to rectify the military capacity of the troops. Just after finishing all this, Chen Geng arrived.As soon as he got out of the car, he criticized the head of the regiment: "We are in the new area, we must pay attention to military discipline! Although you are not from our regiment, I also want to criticize you! Umbrellas are used to prevent rain, how can guns be used to hang them?" Meat! It's too outrageous, what a bad influence this will have on the people of the new area!" Chen Geng said without any politeness. "Chief, we were wrong. We didn't check well when we transferred the campsite." The leader of the team reported cautiously. Chen Geng said: "It's not good if there is no inspection. You go back and report to your commander and political commissar, and say that I, Chen Geng, have criticized you! I will tell them about this when I see them in the future. You must report to your superiors. Review!" In the pursuit of thousands of miles, the 15th Army is the left column of the 4th Corps, advancing towards Hengfeng, Shangrao, and Guangfeng; the 13th Army is the right column, advancing towards Yiyang; quite? . The 44th Division, the vanguard of the left column, under the leadership of Commander Xiang Shouzhi, marched day and night, and arrived in Jingdezhen, the porcelain capital of China, in just over a day. Before fleeing, the enemies stationed in Jingdezhen severely damaged the porcelain factory, smashed some products stored in the warehouse, and blew up some porcelain kilns. The workers in the porcelain factory were heartbroken.After the troops arrived, Xiang Shouzhi immediately ordered to protect the porcelain factory so that it could not be destroyed again.He also called on the workers to repair the porcelain kilns blown up by the enemy as soon as possible, resume production, and contribute to the upcoming new China.The owner of the porcelain factory was very moved and insisted on giving Xiang Shouzhi a set of porcelain. The boss said: "This is our condolences to the army, and it is also a bit of respect!" Xiang Shouzhi said solemnly: "It is our responsibility to protect people's property, and accepting your porcelain is a violation of discipline." "Discipline? The White Army has never paid for anything. If you don't give it, you will rob it. I have never heard of an army that emphasizes discipline like this." Xiang Shouzhi said: "We are the soldiers of the people, and what we talk about is discipline." The boss said with emotion: "Chiang Kai-shek never gave money when he asked for goods. This is the big vase he wanted. Just for this, he spent nearly ten thousand silver dollars. Now it's all over, and Chiang Kai-shek will not leave if he wants." Xiang Shouzhi looked carefully at these exquisitely crafted vases, and found that they were indeed of excellent quality, so he asked the boss, "Why does he need so many vases?" "It is said that it was given to President Du Hanzi of the United States." "Truman!" "Yes, Truman." "It's no wonder that Chiang Kai-shek is always equipped with American-style weapons. It turns out that he is using national treasures as bribes. These vases must be well protected. They may be useful when New China is established." Further south, the troops entered Dexing.The advance group reported that a remnant enemy was guarding Dexing City, and the resistance was very tenacious. "Surround and deal with it quickly!" Xiang Shouzhi ordered. Dexing is the must-pass city for the 15th Army to go south. It is located at the easternmost end of Jiangxi and is connected to Zhejiang. It is surrounded by high mountains and dense forests.Only by killing him can the hidden danger be eliminated. The remnants of the enemy stationed in Dexing thought that it was only a small unit of the People's Liberation Army who came, and they wanted to eat it in one fell swoop, but they were surrounded as soon as they fought, and they couldn't win or withdraw. There is no good strategy, so I had to order: "Stay tight! Stick to it! I will die in Dexing." Dexing City is very small. After our army broke through the east gate, it immediately poured into the city like a tide.The remnant soldiers in various firepower points, fortifications, and bunkers, seeing that the situation was over, unfurled white flags one after another and surrendered.The gunfire in the city soon faded away.Our army rushed into the enemy regiment headquarters. "Hand in your gun and don't kill!" A cry made the tiles on the roof tremble. After capturing Dexing City, the 15th Army took advantage of the victory and advanced, and surrounded the three important towns of Hengfeng, Shangrao, and Guangfeng on May 3. A part of the enemy's 68th Army that fled here hastily defended.After being surrounded by the 15th Army, he became so frightened that he didn't even have the power to parry. At 24:00 on the night of the 3rd, Qin Jiwei issued a general attack order to all the besieging troops: "We must completely annihilate, do not let the enemy run away, charge, attack, and beat, and wipe out the enemy!" Shangrao is a place where the Kuomintang army has occupied for a long time. Concentration camps were built here to detain communists and revolutionary masses. The defensive positions and fortifications are very strong, and many of them are poured with reinforced concrete.Due to the defeat of the Kuomintang, the "prisoners" held here were either transferred or killed.Most of the enemies stationed here have withdrawn, leaving only a small number of people to guard.Those who stayed were worried and worried all day long.After the enemy's 68th Army fled here, they thought they had a "main force", and they were a little relieved.But suddenly surrounded by the pursuing People's Liberation Army, the troops of the 68th Army lost their positions first. They knew that they were in danger and their morale was unstable.The enemies who stayed in the city were so terrified when they saw the "main force", what's even more frightening?Terrible. At 3 o'clock in the morning on the 4th, when the siege guns sounded, the enemy was in a mess, and they didn't even fire their guns. No matter how strong the enemy's fortifications in Shangrao are, the morale of the army has been scattered, and the ability to resist is very weak.At dawn, the People's Liberation Army entered the city.The enemies dropped their guns one after another and knelt on the ground begging for mercy. At the same time, the two towns of Hengfeng and Guangfeng were also captured. Another pursuit force, the 13th Army of the 4th Corps, surrounded Yiyang on May 2.Yiyang City is not big, high in the north and low in the south, located between Nanchang and Shangrao on the Zhejiang-Jiangxi line.The water and land transportation in this area is very convenient. The Xinjiang River flows through the south of the city, and the highway bridge over the Xinjiang River is the Chengnan Pass.There is a road leading to Fujian here.Stationed in the city are the 119th and 143rd divisions of the enemy's 68th Army. The main forces of these two divisions have been mostly wiped out in previous battles, leaving only the army headquarters and the artillery regiment.Unexpectedly, as soon as he escaped to Yiyang, he was surrounded by the 13th Army before he could gain a firm foothold. At 12 noon on May 3, the 13th Army approached the foot of Yiyang City.When the enemy on the north gate of the city found out, they immediately opened fire to stop them. After a brief artillery preparation, the troops launched a siege battle. The 3rd Battalion of the 109th Regiment was tasked with capturing the north gate of the city. The 8th Company attacked from the right outside the north gate, and the 9th Company attacked from the left.Under the cover of machine guns, mountain artillery, and anti-war artillery, the 8th company set up a ladder, quickly climbed to the city wall, and quickly occupied the city. The enemies in the city had no intention of resisting, and retreated towards Yiyang Chengguan in a swarm. The 109th regiment took control of the commanding heights near Beimenli, immediately pursued the fleeing enemy, and at the same time let a company occupy the train station to block the enemy's escape route. Chen Kang, the deputy commander of the army, stood on the top of the North Gate, and seeing a large number of enemies gathered at the South Gate, dragging luggage and cannons scrambling towards the road, he immediately ordered the machine gun company: "Block the enemy's escape route, block the enemy in the city!" After a while, Chen Kang saw a raging fire on the only wooden bridge leading to the Nanguan Highway.He judged that the enemy who had escaped from the city was afraid that our army would chase and wipe them out, so they deliberately poured gasoline on it and ignited it. Zhao Qiyun, the commander of the 3rd Battalion, immediately proposed to Chen Kang: "Let our battalion turn around to the enemy's back and wipe them out!" Chen Kang said: "Hurry up! We must block the enemies who are about to escape!" "Yes! The 7th company and the 3rd platoon go to fight the fire, and the rest follow me!" Zhao Qiyun ordered. After receiving the order, Zhou Futang, leader of the 7th company and 3rd platoon, led the entire platoon of soldiers to the bridge head to fight Yu?After that, they crossed the bridge and blocked the enemy with the 3rd Battalion. During the battle, Zhou Futang found two men in woolen coats gesticulating on one side.He thought that to capture the thief, the king should be captured first, as long as the enemy's "leader" is captured, other things will be easy to handle. Pointing to the two men in woolen coats, he said to the squad leader of No. 7: "Fire cover, your squad should catch those two immediately." Class 7 caught these two "bosses" in one blow. "Who are you?" Chen Kang asked. "Wang Zhiyuan, deputy commander of the 68th Army." "What about him?" "Chief of Staff Du Dazhong." "Where's your commander?" "As soon as your guns fired, he ran away." "Do you know our captive policy?" "Know." "Will you make meritorious atonement?" "willing." "Then write a letter asking your 81st Division to surrender." "Obey, obey." After the letter was written, Chen Kang said to Du Dazhong: "Please ask Chief of Staff Du to go in person." "I want it, I want it." "This is your chance to redeem yourself." "understand." The enemy's chief of staff, Du Dazhong, accompanied by Bai Jinsheng, the communications squad leader, drove directly to the enemy's position in his jeep. "Stop shooting! Stop shooting! I'm the chief of staff." Du Dazhong poked his head out of the jeep and shouted while waving his hands. The gunfire on the enemy's positions ceased.After a while the jeep came back. The jeep stopped in front of Chen Kang, and Bai Jinsheng pointed to Ge Kaixiang, commander of Chen Kang's 81st Division, and said, "This is our commander." The enemy division commander Ge Kaixiang stood at attention with a "snap" and saluted Chen Kang: "Brother is a big bastard. I accept your army's opinion. After a while, all the personnel will be brought here." On May 15, the advance corps of the Fourth Field Army broke through Bai Chongxi's defense line in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River, crossed the Yangtze River from Qichun and Huanggang, and approached Wuhan.Bai Chongxi poses a mortal threat.In order to cooperate with Siye to cross the river, the Central Military Commission urgently ordered Chen Geng's corps to attack Nanchang quickly. Chen Geng immediately ordered the 14th Army to dispatch to attack Fengcheng and Zhangshu, flank the Bai Chongxi Group, and go straight to Nanchang. On May 16, the 37th Division of the Front Guard Division of the 13th Army received an order from Chen Geng to "rush across the Fuhe River and liberate Nanchang". This inspiring news spread quickly among the commanders and fighters.The commanders and fighters rushed to tell each other, cheered, surrounded the teacher Zhou Xueyi, and asked in a hurry: "Master, are you going to fight back to Nanchang?" "Yes, call back to Nanchang!" The soldiers "hula" all of a sudden, and happily lifted Zhou Xueyi up. The 37th Division is a Red Army unit developed on the basis of the 7th Regiment of the 3rd Division of the Red Army. They have deep feelings for Nanchang.Now they are going back to Nanchang, how can this not make them happy? Nanchang is one of the birthplaces of the Chinese revolution, the birthplace of the Chinese People's Liberation Army, and the starting point of the victory of the Chinese revolution. For more than 20 years, the Red Army has gone through the test of blood and fire. From small to large, from weak to strong, it has developed into a powerful and invincible steel-like army.Now this army is going back to the place where she was born to liberate an important strategic city that has been occupied by the enemy for many years. What a glorious and proud moment for the veterans of the Red Army.Most of the comrades of the 7th Regiment of the 3rd Division of the Red Army have been buried in the north and south of the motherland during the development of the Chinese revolution, but their spirit has inspired, inspired, and spurred countless later generations to go through fire and water and continue to follow.Comrades who are alive now are like tinder seeds, igniting the revolutionary flames and converging into a flame that soars into the sky. When they heard the news of "beating back to Nanchang", they felt a solemn sense of mission in their hearts. Teacher Zhou Xueyi and political commissar Lei Qiyun deeply understood the feelings of the commanders and fighters.At this moment, there is no need to use more language for educational mobilization. They only issued a brief order: "Overcome difficulties and advance bravely!" After a tense march, on May 19, the various units of the 37th Division arrived in the suburbs of Nanchang. On the night of the 20th, Zhou Xueyi, Lei Qiyun, and Zhao Huaqing led the division command post to a high ground on the bank of the Fuhe River.They looked far into the distance, looking at the sparse lights in Nanchang city, planning the deployment of capturing Nanchang. Everyone is very excited.Nanchang, a glorious city, is about to return to the hands of the people. After more than 20 years of fighting, it will finally see the holy land of China's armed revolution again. After a while, the scout came back panting and reported the detected enemy situation.The small town of Xiebu City in front of Nanchang is the only way to Nanchang. There is a security team in Nanchang County stationed there. They have not received formal training and their combat effectiveness is very weak. Under the situation of overwhelming troops, people are panicked and depressed. ；南昌城里的夏威兵团数万人，正在准备西逃。 37师首长和109团团长、110团团长席地而坐，展开地图，按照侦察员的报告研究了打法，决定：先歼灭谢埠之敌，尔后向南昌速进，歼灭打击夏威兵团，解放南昌。 谢埠镇很小，110团一会儿就把它围得水泄不通。 “喊话！”110团长张谦命令。 敌保安团在睡梦中，突然被洪钟般的喊话声惊醒，一个个木呆呆地，竖着耳朵听。他们早就听说解放军优待俘虏，110团一喊话，他们就无心抵抗，傻楞楞地发呆。有的干脆开溜，一边跑一边换上早已准备好的便衣。守城门的敌人，在与110团对话后拉开城门，把110团放进城来，还把他们领到保安团的驻地。就这样400多人的保安团全都当了俘虏。 得知谢埠失守，驻守南昌城内的夏威兵团的188师和175师，共约1万多人立即分3路向谢埠方向赶来，妄图夺回这个战略要地。 敌人依仗兵多势众，？3营实施穿插分割。3营被分割成两部分，营长安玉峰和副营长李冬海，各带两个连与敌人短兵相接，展开了激烈的村落战。 敌人爬上屋顶，用轻重机枪向3营猛扫，手榴弹像冰雹一样，不停地甩过来，打得指战员们连头都抬不起来。敌人边打边不停地狂叫着：“你们被包围了，马上就完蛋了，赶快投降吧！我们也'优待'俘虏。” 安玉峰命令9、10连：“坚决打退敌人的冲锋，打出我们的威风！” 指战员们冒着弹雨，选择着有利射击地形和位置，向敌人猛烈地射击。9连3班班长史长河，向敌人每甩一颗手榴弹，就骂一声“去你娘的吧！” 他一连甩出9颗，炸掉了敌人的3挺轻机枪、1挺重机枪。 就这样，至上午10时，英雄的指战员们已打退敌人的7次冲锋。 与此同时，在副营长李冬海这边的阵地上，激烈的战斗也在进行着。敌人同样以数倍于坚守阵地部队的兵力，密密麻麻地包围过来。 11连战士朱林被炮弹炸伤了两条腿，但他毫不畏惧，抓起一挺机枪向敌人扫射。 屡遭失败的敌人最后选中了5连阵地，集中一个营的兵力来争夺。连长许延举沉着指挥。关键时刻，排长卫福居带领一个班冲出阵地，跟敌人拼了十几分钟刺刀，捅死50多个，阻止了敌人的进犯。当敌人再次冲来时，许延举端起一挺轻机枪迎头猛击敌人，把60多个敌人打倒在稻田里。 战斗越来越激烈，在千钧一发之际，周学义带着109团赶来。 随即，后续部队111团在师政委雷起云和团长陈兴建率领下，顶着敌人的炮火迂回侧击，将敌175师拦腰切断，毙敌800多人，俘敌290余人，遏制了敌人的进攻。敌人遭猛烈打击后，丢下千具尸体、伤员和许多机枪、火炮、步枪、弹药，狼狈不堪地退回南昌城内。 窜回南昌的敌人情知不能固守，即对南昌进行破坏。工厂、学校、道路、桥梁，能炸的全部炸掉。南昌市的人民在党组织的领导下，勇敢地进？护厂、护校、护路、护桥、护南昌的斗争，从敌人手里夺回了大量的财产。 5月22日拂晓，敌人仓皇西逃，37师遂解放南昌。 5月23日上午，第13军37师代表解放军举行庄严的南昌入城仪式，受到南昌人民的热烈欢迎。 南昌的解放，标志着第二野战军渡江作战的全面结束。在渡江战役中，二野歼敌10万余人，解放了安庆、金华、上饶、南昌等86座城市和皖南、浙西、闽北、赣中的广大地区。 在第二野战军3路出击浙赣线的同时，由粟裕领导的渡江战役东路军和由谭震林率领的中路军于4月27日会师吴兴，将从浙赣线上撤下来的国民党5个军包围于郎溪、广德，经两天战斗，8万余人悉数被歼。5月3日，第三野战军占领杭州。自此，浙赣线400多公里完全控制在解放军手中，汤恩伯集团与白崇禧集团被分割开来，彼此不能相顾。 5月16日，三野7兵团21军兵分几路，向浙江南部挺进。The momentum along the way is unstoppable.Chiang Kai-shek's hometown - Xikou, Fenghua, Zhejiang is just around the corner. 不知是何种心态所致，解放军的炮声隆隆可闻了，蒋介石却还在溪口没走。 Is it a kind of unwillingness to admit defeat?Is it to show your face to your subordinates?还是自知一去难返而对故土恋恋不舍的情愫使然？It may be both! ?解放军实施渡江战役以来，蒋介石的脸就失去笑容。从南京走后，他一直躲在浙江奉化老家。炮声越来越近，蒋经国耐不住性子了：“父亲，太康号前几天开到定海去了，俞局长和王世和的家眷都随军舰走了！” 蒋经国最知道父亲的脾气，语气虽急，但仍没敢直言“走”的字眼，但含意很明显：这里除了我们家之外，再没有其他家眷了。 “共军过了鄞县了吗？”看来蒋介石心里一点也不糊涂，共军如还没过鄞县，那害什么怕，来得及的。 俞济时赶紧趋前一步说：“看情况共军已过鄞县，目标正向象山港挺进。” With Yu Jishi's words, Chiang Kai-shek knew what to do.他现在离开溪口，空中和陆路都不安全，也不太可能。There is only one waterway in Xiangshan Port.So Chiang Kai-shek sighed and said to Chiang Ching-kuo, "Let's say goodbye to your grandmother's grave. Go and call Fang Liang and the children." 儿媳、孙子都来了以后，蒋介石领着他们一同来到苍松环绕的蒋母墓前。 蒋介石刚一站在母亲墓前，就止不住老泪纵横。他撩起衣襟，颤巍巍地长跪不起，蓦然，大哭起来。 If Jiang's mother had a spirit in heaven, she would be very moved by it. Failure is painful.And lose so badly!This time I am afraid that I will not be able to be filial to my mother anymore. Behind Chiang Kai-shek, there was a lot of crying. ?母亲的墓庐叩拜之后，蒋介石在蒋经国的搀扶下下了凤凰山，几辆轿车早已在那里等候。 蒋介石再回首望望这座山峰，慢慢地钻到了汽车里。 此一别，今生再难相见。溪水淙淙长流，武岭山烟雾弥漫。 蒋介石再一次潸然泪下。 车队从溪口沿溪而下40公里即到达宁波镇海港。这是从溪口出海的传统路线，但这次蒋介石没有走这条线路。他估计到，解放军一旦进军宁波，必然抢占镇海港，堵住宁波的出海口。In that way, even if he has three heads and six arms, it will be difficult for him to escape.因此决定不走镇海而走象山港。从鄞县到象山港全是山路，这样靠两条腿走路的共军就？不过他的汽车轮。He can then calmly exit Xikou, go to Xiangshan Port, and sail out to sea by warship. 蒋介石此次出走，就再也没有回来过。 蒋介石前脚刚走，5月25日，解放军第3兵团2军61师183团就赶到溪口。 There is a leaf-like island by the Huangpu River in Shanghai called Fuxing Island.On the right side of the island is the Huangpu River, and on the left is a straight canal, cutting it from Yangshupu like a sharp knife.It is very close to the estuary of the Huangpu River.复兴岛东北面的码头上，停泊着装备精良的“太康”号军舰，码头四角，军警如林，江中巡逻的小炮艇，来往如穿梭。There is a villa shaded by flowers and trees on the island.After Chiang Kai-shek withdrew from Xikou, he has been living here. 蒋介石心里很清楚，溪口是守不住的，尽管他想守；南京也守不住，上海他想守，至少要守上一段时间。那么多金银财宝、机械，往台湾运是需要一定时间的。 来到上海后，连日来，蒋介石分批召见国军团以上干部训话，命令他们必须死守上海一年，等待国际局势的变化，等待第三次世界大战爆发，然后再行反攻，他到汤恩伯设在虹口公园附近的总部，听取汤恩伯关于防守上海的作战计划和部署，并作具体指示；他多次接见毛人凤，指示他临走前再杀掉几个和共产党一个鼻孔出气的民主人士。他三番五次催促上海市代市长陈良，要尽量加快抢运黄金白银？贵重物资的速度。 If you are not busy in the morning, you will be flustered in the evening.At this time, even if Chiang Kai-shek has three heads and six arms, he can't do what he wants to be busy with. 10天前泪别故乡，刚过10天，又要诀别上海。再过10天，还不知道这把老骨头漂向何方？ 5月26日晨，蒋介石望着炮声隆隆、硝烟弥漫的上海半边天，暗自神伤。 The night sea is vast, and the "Taikang" is like a black ghost, jumping forward between the troughs and peaks. Chiang Kai-shek paced up and down on the deck regardless of the rough sea. After the People's Liberation Army crossed the river, Chiang Kai-shek's already thin face became more angular.蒋经国不离寸步，生怕父亲经不住这亡国的刺激而杀身成仁。 “父亲，还是回舱去吧，晚上风大，当心着凉。”蒋经国轻声地劝说道。 Silence, a long silence. “经国，”在死寂的沉默中，蒋介石突然劈头问道，“你说说看，我们为什么失败了？” Jiang Jingguo knew in his heart that his father had the most say in this answer.From the founding of the country in Nanjing in 1927 to the collapse of the country 22 years later, there are 450 million people in China, and my father has always covered the sky with one hand.当然，蒋经国也是可以说出一二的……但这能说吗？这问题不是他能够回答的。 Suddenly, there was another silence. “主要原因，”沉默一会后，蒋介石一字一板地说道，“我以为：第一，党心不一。我党有史50余载，从来没有统一。党心不一，政令不行，互相拆台，拿大家以私小家。第二，干部腐化，共产党骂我们党腐败，不能说他们骂的都是错的。第三，对老百姓笼络不力。凡此三，岂有不败之理？” 蒋介石说到这里，看了一下蒋经国，继续说道：“我们只有另辟路径，重新训练党的干部，统一党心，让党员能自觉地为党的事业工作，使他们能够严格执行纲纪，而且还能深入社会各阶层，组织基层群众。干部腐化，是因为没有监督的力量。今后，我们要以群众的力量来维护党纪，使每一个党员都服从革命的领导，执行革命的政纲。铲除空洞不实、因循敷衍、麻木不仁的官僚作风，而代之以实事求是、急公尚义、严正不苟、是非分明、赏罚公允的新作风。” 蒋介石好像忘掉了眼前的痛苦，像是正在参加总统竞选的政治家似的，一口气讲出了他的新施政纲领。 Jiang Jingguo was very excited to hear that his father's new ideas had many similarities with what he had learned in the Soviet Union.他在今日，才找到了父子二人的共同语言，于是说道：“父亲，我十分赞成您刚才的意见，我相信我们是有希望的。” 蒋介石也来了兴致，小心翼翼地从内衣口袋里掏出一个小本子，递给了蒋经国。 蒋经国知道，这是父亲的日记本。他把折叠着那页打开，上面写着这样一段话： 以定海、普陀、厦门和台湾为训练干部之地区；建设则以台湾为起点。实行训练干部、编组民众、计口授田、积极开垦，在社会上不许有一个无业游民。实行二、五减租，保障佃户；施行利得税、遗产税、筹办社会保险、推动劳动福利、推广合作事业；实行平均地权，节制资本。以民生主义社会建设及其政策实施为要务…… 蒋经国无言以对，可惜啊，悔之晚矣。 “太康”号徐徐离开黄浦江，消失在茫茫的夜海之中。
