Chapter 22 Chapter 21 The Battle of Chengdu, encircling and annihilating the last ace army

Hu Zongnan, the commander-in-chief of the "Decisive Battle in Western Sichuan", who has always been ambitious and talented, finally exhausted his strength. On December 23, besieged on all sides, he boarded the plane he had prepared and fled to Hainan Island. Li Wen rolled his eyes, looked at the representative of the People's Liberation Army, and then at the deputy commander who was sitting there smoking heavily, then stood up as if he couldn't sit still, and walked back and forth with his head down.His deputy commander took a deep puff of the cigarette, shook off the cigarette butt and said in disbelief: "Our army is well-stocked, and there is still enough food and ammunition, and it has not reached the point where we cannot fight!"

After the liberation of Chongqing and the vast areas of eastern and southern Sichuan, Chiang Kai-shek hastily ordered Hu Zongnan's group to withdraw from the Qinling Mountains to Hanzhong, Wudu, and northern Sichuan to expedite their southward retreat in an attempt to resist in Chengdu or retreat toward Kangxi and Yunnan; Sun Yuanliang's 16th Corps, Song Xilian, Luo Guangwen and other remnants retreating to the east guarded the line of the Minjiang River and the Tuojiang River, delaying the westward advance of the People's Liberation Army and covering the southward retreat of Hu Zongnan's group.

At this time, the Hu Zongnan Group had two routes to retreat to Kang and Yunnan: one was to go south via Xinlu and Leshan; the other was to go to Xichang via Ya'an.In view of this, Liu Bocheng and Deng Xiaoping ordered the 3rd and 5th Corps to advance rapidly on December 6, together with the 18th Corps of the First Field Army to encircle and wipe out Hu Zongnan Group. After a short rest, the 3rd and 5th Corps began to march from Nanxi, Zigong, Neijiang, Suining and other places to the surrounding areas of Chengdu on the 11th. On the 15th, the 48th and 47th divisions approached Banqiao Creek and Niuhua Creek on the east bank of the Minjiang River. The 48th Division captured Banqiaoxi, and after annihilating part of the enemy, Zhuyuan boldly crossed the Minjiang River first, and detoured to Leshan with part of the force, and the main force marched towards Jiajiang County. The 47th Division captured Renjiaba and Dashiqiao on the east bank of the Minjiang River, wiped out one regiment of the enemy, and fully controlled the ferry. On the evening of the 16th, the 47th Division crossed the Minjiang River under the coordination of the 48th Division, captured Leshan, and took advantage of the victory to capture Emei County. After annihilating part of the enemy in Mianzhu, the 48th Division took advantage of the victory to seize Jiajiang, then marched towards Hongya County, and captured Hongya on the 17th. On the 19th, the regiment encountered a wave of enemies in Shaping.It turned out that this was Song Xilian's army.

"Come out! Hand in your guns and don't kill!" The soldiers shouted loudly. Several enemy soldiers crawled out from under the altar. The last one to climb out was a fat man with a bald head and a gray coat, with gray hair and trembling all over. There are two fountain pens in the chest, gold rings on the hands, and a gold case watch. When Song Xilian was first captured, the People's Liberation Army did not know that he was the famous Song Xilian, and his subordinates did not reveal his identity.When interrogating him, he said: "My name is Zhou Borui, the military supply of the headquarters."

On the way to the liberated area the next day, Song Xilian and several cronies plotted to escape but failed.On the way, I met a PLA cadre.This People's Liberation Army cadre used to work in Song's headquarters. He broke into the enemy's interior and was almost shot by Song Xilian.It's really a narrow road.No matter how hard Song Xilian was to hide his real name, he admitted to the People's Liberation Army who detained him: "I am Song Xilian." Later, after being transformed by the Communist Party, the Kuomintang warrior abandoned evil and followed good, changed his stand, supported the Chinese Communist Party and the socialist system, and embarked on a new life path.When he recalled that period of bitter rain, he said with deep emotion: "1949 was the most unfortunate year for me... No, it should be said that 1949 was the luckiest year in my life... I followed Chiang Kai-shek Betrayed the revolution, and engaged in counter-revolutionary and anti-people criminal activities for more than 20 years, but I didn't know it... After the party's tolerance and education for me, I recognized right and wrong and the truth, and made me understand the real reason for the failure of the Chiang Group. That's what keeps me from going to my grave with a head of granite."

After annihilating Song Xilian's troops, the 16th Army took advantage of the momentum and advanced to Mingshan and Danling areas. At the same time, on the 14th, the 10th Army advanced to the east bank of the Minjiang River. After two days of fierce fighting, it wiped out Hu Zongnan's part who was fortified and blocked along the coast. Approaching the periphery of Chengdu. After the 11th Army liberated Tongyang on the 15th, it approached the Shuangliu and Xinlu areas one after another. On the 15th, the 12th Army captured Renshou. So far, the peripheral battle in Chengdu has started.

At this time, Liu and Deng urgently sent a message to the 12th Army: The troops must not stay, and advance quickly, cut off the enemy's retreat to Kang and Yunnan via Ya'an, and cooperate with friendly and neighboring armies to wipe out the Hu Zongnan Group in the Chengdu Basin. Sure enough, the enemy started to move, and Hu Zongnan's vanguard troops had arrived in the Xinlu area.In order to gain the initiative, the 12th Army rushed towards Qionglai.Qionglai is the key to the battle of Chengdu, because the Xinlu and Pujiang areas are all enemies.If the enemy occupies Qionglai first, we can open the way to retreat to Xichang and Yunnan.

The 36th Division of the 12th Army rushed to Qionglai to block the enemy on the afternoon of December 19th.At the same time, the 34th Division marched northward and cooperated with the 36th Division to implement a pincer assault. On the afternoon of the 19th, the 36th Division launched a blocking battle in Qionglai, and then captured Qionglai. So far, Hu Zongnan's retreat to Kang and Dian has been completely cut off.The east, south, and west sides of the Chengdu area are surrounded by groups, leaving only the north side.And in this direction, He Long's 18th Corps was waiting for him.After the People's Liberation Army broke through the Kuomintang army's defense lines in Sichuan, Hunan, Hubei and eastern Guizhou in mid-November, Hu Zongnan's group defending the Qinling area began to spread south according to Chiang Kai-shek's order.According to the instructions of the Central Military Commission, the 18th Corps of the First Field Army and other departments should not approach the enemy too closely to prevent them from accelerating their shrinking towards Yunnan and Kangxi, and should not be too far away from them so that they will not have enough time to destroy roads and bridges. follow the enemy forward.

At this time, Hu Zongnan really had no way to go to heaven and no way to go to earth. So far, the entire Hu Zongnan Group has been surrounded in the Chengdu area. Chiang Kai-shek and his son fled the mountain city on the special plane "Zhongmei" in the early morning of November 30, and flew to Chengdu in the morning of the same day.In the afternoon, Chiang Kai-shek summoned Zhang Qun, Xiong Kewu, Wang Lingji, Liu Wenhui and others in the Whampoa Building of the Whampoa Military Academy to study and arrange the battle in western Sichuan. With Chongqing already lost and Chengdu precarious, Chiang Kai-shek understood that the battle in western Sichuan was actually deceiving himself and others.He didn't want to fight a big fight in Chengdu, but to withdraw the main force of Hu Zong's southern part who had retreated from northern Sichuan to Xichang and stick to Xichang.If Xichang is not protected, it will retreat westward to the border area of ​​​​Yunnan and Burma.To retreat to Xichang and fight in western Sichuan, Chiang Kai-shek is going to take the following three steps:

First, let Hu Zongnan, his direct lineage, retreat to Xichang in order to preserve its strength and deal with the Communist Party for a long time. Second, for the non-directed troops currently stationed in the western Sichuan plain and some remnants of troops who descended from the defeat in eastern Sichuan, use them to entangle with the PLA to cover the calm deployment of Hu Zongnan's troops on the Sichuan-Kangzhou border. Third, before Hu Zongnan's main force retreats westward, the military power of Liu Wenhui, Deng Xihou and other local powerful factions should be completely resolved.It was a secret, multi-purpose plan.In order to stabilize the strength of the second aspect and prevent the third party from having doubts about the combat deployment, the key is to do a good job of the "decisive battle in western Sichuan".

In order to complete this plan of killing three birds with one stone, Chiang Kai-shek summoned personnel from all walks of life. On the morning of December 2, Chiang Kai-shek summoned Chen Kefei, the commander of the 20th Corps who had been defeated from eastern Sichuan.Chen Kefei was Song Xilian's subordinate and was ordered to defend the eastern Sichuan defense line. After the 3rd Corps of the People's Liberation Army launched an offensive in early November, Zhong Bin's 14th Corps was wiped out first, and Zhong Bin himself was captured; followed by the defeat of the 20th Corps, and Chen Kefei led the remnants to Chengdu; finally, Song Xilian Fleeing.Since fleeing to Chengdu, Chen Kefei has been in fear every day, lest Chiang Kai-shek will use him as a scapegoat for the failure of eastern Sichuan, and his heart beats like a drum. At 9 o'clock in the morning that day, Chen Kefei came to Huangpu Building with anxiety.Unexpectedly, Chiang Kai-shek and Yan Yuese talked with him: "Song Xilian called from Jiangkou the day before yesterday, saying that the 9th Division fought very well near Huangcaoba. This is the revolutionary spirit of the Huangpu Teaching Group. If all the troops are like the 9th Division The division is fighting like this, what is there to fear from the Communist Army? In the future, we must pay special attention to replenishing this army, and we must choose a more responsible officer to train the army and prepare to participate in the battle of western Sichuan and defend Chengdu..." Chen Kefei saw that Jiang was not pursuing responsibility, but comforting him with warm words, so he let go of a hanging heart, and then cheered up and followed Chiang Kai-shek's words: "This time the 9th Division is in Huangcaoba together. The communist army fought for 3 days and nights, and gained a lot, but the casualties were not small. At that time, because of the long distance, the difficulty of transporting the wounded, and the breakthrough of the communist army, the situation was very critical, so too many troops were separated. If the principal allows, the students will personally Go to the east of Sichuan, look for the lost troops, and revive the army!" Chiang Kai-shek interrupted him and said: "Before the radio station can be contacted, you still take in Song Xilian's family near Chengdu and rectify them." Then, Chiang Kai-shek turned sideways to Yu Jishi and said, "Director Yu, tell Chief Gu that all troops under Song Xilian's jurisdiction will be under the command of Commander Chen, and will be accommodated and adjusted by him. They are preparing for a decisive battle with the communist army around Chengdu." Facing the "important mission" entrusted by Chiang Kai-shek, Chen Kefei jumped up excitedly, stood at attention with a slap, and said, "I will never let down the great trust of the principal, and vow to fight the communist army to the end!" Then, Chiang Kai-shek received Hu Zongnan's main force, Li Zhen, the commander of the 18th Corps: "Your unit fought very well in the past, and the officers and soldiers were very brave. This spirit must be maintained. Now the enemy is rampant. In fact, there is nothing wrong with it. Our high-level generals are not up to date, corrupt and depraved. The ancients have long said that a strong soldier is a general. As a general, we should be benevolent if we are not successful. Sacrifice the ego and complete the spirit of the ego. You have to train your subordinates so that They know that at present we don't care about the gains and losses of the front line and the ground, but to preserve our strength and rebuild the base of the country. The next move, you must concentrate on Xichang. Xichang is our last base of recovery, this place is very important. When you get there , We must stick to the danger, organize the local people, fight for a long time, and wait for the outbreak of the third world war." Only then did Li Zhen understand: Hu Zong's defense of Chengdu in the south was false, but it was true to retreat to Xichang.The so-called decisive battle in western Sichuan was nothing more than a feint. After Chiang Kai-shek arranged his "West Sichuan Battle" plan, he fled Chengdu in a hurry. In the few days after December 13, 1949, Chengdu was leaderless and chaotic, like an ant's nest poured into soup.At that time, the total strength of the Kuomintang army in the Chengdu area was more than 320,000, including 150,000 from the Hu Zongnan Group and about 170,000 from other Kuomintang troops.In order to concentrate all his efforts to break out of the siege in the direction of Kangxi and Yunnan and prevent the PLA from splitting its troops, Hu Zongnan used his main force, the 5th Corps, to guard the new law, and the 18th Corps was located between Xinlu and Chengdu to build fortifications to resist the PLA's attack. The 7th Corps in the area north of Chengdu withdrew to the Deyang and Santai areas, and the 16th Corps was placed in Guanghan, and the 15th and 20th Corps were deployed in the Pengxian area to move closer to the main force. At the same time, the People's Liberation Army's Second Field Forces consisted of the 12th Army in Qionglai and Dayi, the 10th Army in Pengshan, the 11th Army in the west of Jianyang, the 16th Army in Mingshan and Danling, and the 18th Army in Meishan. The southern part of Hu Zong was trapped in the Western Sichuan Plain. On December 22, Hu Zongnan urgently held a meeting of army commanders in Xinlu in order to save his impending doom.At the meeting, Hu Zongnan, who was fierce and indifferent, put forward three plans for "defending" Chengdu: Case 1: With the existing forces, take the defense as the main strategy, occupy the superior terrain, grasp the opportunity of battle, switch from defense to offense, and attack to win. The second case: use the existing force, both offensive and defensive, to secure Chengdu; divide the combat area of ​​the corps, control a strong reserve force, build a strong fortified position, and resolutely prevent the People's Liberation Army from attacking the city. The third case: In order to continue to fight in the future, maintain the main force, and avoid stalemate, we are determined to sacrifice part of the army to save the overall situation.That is to say, two corps (the 15th corps of Luo Guangwen's department and the 20th corps of Chen Kefei's department) took advantage of the gap to advance to the rear of the PLA (Chongqing) to attract our main force to turn back, and make the main force move back to Xikang to ensure safety. On the same day, Liu Bocheng and Deng Xiaoping, who were far away in Chongqing, issued an order to attack Chengdu to the 3rd and 5th Corps located on the front lines of Meishan, Qionglai, and Dayi. When Liu Bocheng and Deng Xiaoping deployed to encircle and wipe out Hu Zongnan, Hu Zongnan, the commander-in-chief of the "Decisive Battle in Western Sichuan", who had always been ambitious and talented, finally exhausted his strength. On December 23, besieged on all sides, he boarded the plane he had prepared and fled to Hainan Island. As soon as Hu Zongnan slipped away, the Kuomintang army surrounded on all sides became even more chaotic and turbulent.The People's Liberation Army took the opportunity to tighten the encirclement, carry out military attacks, and continue to carry out political offensives.The troops in front issued advice and warnings to the commanders of the Nationalist Army respectively, advising them to turn back quickly and not miss the opportunity.The units of the Second Field, which were fighting directly at the front, used various methods to broadcast to the Kuomintang army, shout on the battlefield, send letters, and distribute leaflets.Faced with the strong military and political pressure of the People's Liberation Army, the desperate Kuomintang troops revolted one after another.After the troops of the Second Field quickly occupied the designated positions, they built fortifications to actively block the fleeing enemies; On December 21, Dong Songheng, deputy director of the Sui Department of the besieged Sichuan-Hubei Border Area, and Zeng Yuan, deputy commander of the 16th Corps, first announced the uprising in the Jintang area. Luo Guangwen, commander of the 15th Corps, and Chen Kefei, commander of the 20th Corps, led the uprising in Pixian County and Ande; on the 25th, Pei Changhui, commander of the 7th Corps of the Kuomintang, led an uprising in Deyang; Send representatives to Tongyang to discuss surrender matters with the People's Liberation Army.The uprising of these generals caused the Kuomintang army in the Chengdu area to be in chaos, and it was on the verge of collapse. However, Li Wen, commander of the 5th Corps of the Kuomintang Army who succeeded Hu Zongnan, was still stubborn and dying.In order to get rid of his disadvantaged position, Li Wen hastily changed Hu Zongnan's established plan and decided to lead the 7 armies under his jurisdiction to break through in two ways.One is composed of the 27th, 36th, 90th, and 57th armies, and it is from Chengdu to Chongqing; the other is composed of the 1st, 3rd, and 69th armies, and it flees westward from Xinlu along Qionglai, and its destination is Ya'an. On December 25th, Li Wen, the commander of the 5th Corps of the Kuomintang Army, led his troops to break through to the west and was blocked by the 12th Army of the 3rd Corps in Qionglai! On the evening of December 24, Xiao Yongyin, deputy commander of the 12th Army, and Li Kaixiang, director of the Political Department, were holding a meeting to study the enemy's situation. Suddenly, they received a report from the chief of the reconnaissance section: "At dusk, the Kuomintang army was dispatched from Xinlu, heading west. We have crossed the West River of Yangchang, only 10 miles away from the cordon of the 35th Division of our army." According to the changes in the enemy's situation, Xiao Yongyin immediately ordered Li Desheng, the commander of the 35th Division, to return to the army and prepare to meet the enemy. An hour later, Li Desheng reported to Xiao Yongyin on the phone: "According to the information I have received, the enemy is Li Wen's 5th Corps, and it has been confirmed that there are 5 armies, the 3rd, 27th, 36th, 65th and 90th armies. In front of our security position, a large group of enemies is moving westward." Xiao Yongyin immediately ordered the 35th Division: "If the enemy wants to flee westward, your division must complete all combat preparations before dawn, resolutely resist the enemy's attack, and never let Li Wenxi escape." In the early morning of December 25th, at dawn, the Li Wen Corps, under the cover of artillery fire, began to attack the position of the 12th Army's 35th Division.On this day, the enemy rushed to the 35th Division's position again and again for more than 20 times like a tide.Part of the division's frontal position was lost several times, and the battle was fierce, but the heroic PLA soldiers finally repelled the enemy with bullets, bayonets, and shovels.The enemy suffered heavy casualties, and dead bodies were piled up in front of the 35th Division's forward positions. The 35th Division suffered heavy casualties. In the evening, Xiao Yongyin ordered each division to counterattack the enemy with two battalions.After a night of fighting, more than 5,000 enemies were captured. At dawn the next day, the enemy, using the regiment as a unit, launched an attack on the entire line of our 12th Army's positions under the cover of artillery fire, trying to make a desperate attempt to open the gap and flee for their lives.During the battle, the position of our 35th Division, which was on the front salient, was the most heavily attacked by the enemy. It was attacked by the enemy more than 10 times in a row. The two sides repeatedly competed for the position, and finally the enemy was repelled.At 12 o'clock in the morning, the enemy gathered their forces again, and under the cover of more intense artillery fire, they used the "herd" tactics to rush towards the 12th Army's defense line again, broke through the position of the 35th Division, and went straight to the east gate of Qionglai.At the critical juncture, Xiao Yongyin decisively led the two regiments of the army's reserve team to counterattack, counterattacked the enemy with overwhelming momentum, defeated the enemy's attack, and regained the position. On this day, the Kuomintang Li Zhen Corps, which was besieged in Chengdu and Tongyang, announced an uprising, and the Li Wen Corps became even more isolated. After dawn on December 27, the enemy who had been attacking the 108th Regiment of the 36th Division of the 12th Army all night suddenly stopped attacking.At this time, when Wu Xiaoxian, the deputy commander of the front command post commanding operations, was wondering, two enemies came towards the position with their hands raised.Deputy head Wu ordered the troops to stop shooting and asked the soldiers to bring people into the command post. Those who came were George, chief of staff of the 1st Army of Li Wen's 5th Corps, and his adjutant.They asked to see the commander of the People's Liberation Army, saying that they had important matters to discuss.George said: "Brother was ordered by Commander Li to tell the commander of your army that I, Commander Li, are willing to revolt for the sake of the overall situation." Wu Xiaoxian immediately reported the situation directly to the army, and asked for instructions on how to deal with it. Upon hearing the news, Xiao Yongyin instructed Wu Xiaoxian on the phone: "The enemy's sudden uprising is intentional. We must improve our police habits. Beware of the enemy's tricks, I will send someone right away." After a while, Xing Rongjie, commander of the 36th Division of the 12th Army, came to the forward command post of the 108th Regiment and brought two battalions of troops. In response to Li Wen's possible fraudulent surrender trick, Xing Rongjie said: "Now we can still forgive you. If you still want to be Chinese, you should honestly put down your weapons immediately, follow our army's command, and withdraw the troops from the battlefield. We guarantee You are welcome." George said that this matter was of great importance, and he could not make the decision, and asked the People's Liberation Army to send representatives to directly interview Commander Li.After consulting the head of the army, the 36th Division decided to send Wu Xiaoxian, the deputy head of the regiment, as a plenipotentiary representative to the Li Wen headquarters for negotiations. Wu Xiaoxian selected three smart and capable fighters, 5 of them together with messengers and security guards. Each of them had two guns, one long and one short. Full of confidence, he walked to the enemy's nest with the enemy's chief of staff full of energy. In the command post known as the "No. 1 Army in the World" in the Kuomintang army, Wu Xiaoxian met Li Wen, commander of Hu Zongnan's 5th Corps.Li Wen said in embarrassment: "Welcome, welcome!" Li Wen, who was silent for a while, said: "Our department decided to revolt. It was made out of sincerity. It was proposed in the spirit of taking the overall situation into consideration and avoiding casualties on both sides. I hope your army can understand our sincerity." Wu Xiaoxian said: "If you are really like this, we welcome it very much. Your words and deeds are too inconsistent. Until now, your 90th Army is still attacking our army." Li Wen explained: "The 90th Army has lost contact with me. I must find a way to contact them." Wu Xiaoxian said: "The 90th Army is not too far away from you, which is unbelievable." Standing aside, Li Wen's deputy commander and commander of the 1st Army said: "Mister knows that our 1st Army has stopped attacking!" Wu Xiaoxian said: "That's because the First Army has lost the ability to attack." Deputy head Wu continued: "If you are sincerely looking for the overall situation, you should answer our opinion and put down your weapons immediately. We promise to treat you leniently, which is good for you and your subordinates." Da generous's words stabbed the self-esteem of the two once very arrogant commanders of the main corps of the Kuomintang army.Li Wen rolled his eyes, looked at the representative of the People's Liberation Army, and then at the deputy commander who was sitting there smoking heavily, then stood up as if he couldn't sit still, and walked back and forth with his head down.His deputy commander took a deep puff of the cigarette, shook off the cigarette butt and said unconvinced: "Our army is complete, and there are still enough food and ammunition, and it has not reached the point where we cannot fight!" "You mean to say that you can continue to fight! Well, go on fighting, or lay down your weapons, it's up to you to choose! However, I have to remind you, Mr. Deputy Commander, you know your situation better than I do You need to be more clear. What will the result of the fight be? You also know this." Wu Xiaoxian used both kindness and power to further increase the psychological pressure on the opponent.The commander and deputy commander of the Kuomintang army stopped talking, and the atmosphere in the room suddenly fell silent, only the sound of guns and artillery came in from the window continuously, and the sound was closer than before. Li Wen's expression also became more tense, so he put on a smiling face and said, "How about we cease fire first, and then negotiate slowly?" The tone was probing and pleading. Seeing that the enemy was going to play tricks, Wu Xiaoxian said nonchalantly: "Our army has a large number of troops, so I can't make the decision, but this is mainly up to you to decide. If you are willing to accept our proposal, I can report it to Chief Liu Deng immediately. Tell our troops. If you want to delay, then you have to listen." Li Wen said: "Please allow brother to think about it before replying." After a while, Li Wen said to Wu Xiaoxian again: "Just to be on the safe side, my brother will send Chen Ming, the deputy chief of staff of my corps, to accompany you to your army to have a further interview with General Liu Bocheng. What do you think, sir?" Wu Xiaoxian talked with a smile and said: "Yes, I promise to deliver it. But, let me remind you again, delaying time is not good for you." At 4 o'clock in the afternoon, Li Wen sent his chief of staff, Chen Ming, to negotiate with Xiao Yongyin.Chen Ming said: "We, Commander Li, took the overall situation into consideration and decided to revolt." Xiao Yongyin said seriously: "Your 90th Army is still attacking us. Is this an uprising?" Chen Ming said: "The 90th Army lost contact with the Corps and did not receive orders." Xiao Yongyin sneered and said, "Then I won't be polite to you 90th Army!" Then Xiao Yongyin said: "Why didn't you revolt in Chengdu and came here to revolt? It's a pity that it's a little late. There is only one way now, and that is to lay down your weapons and finally do something good for the people. We will treat you as prisoners, otherwise you will be killed." Treat you as war criminals!" Chen Ming said helplessly, "I'll pass on your opinion to Commander Li." Xiao Yongyin said decisively: "Okay, you tell him on the phone, it's best to stay with us tonight and see how we can destroy your 90th Army." That night, Xiao Yongyin, deputy commander of the 12th Army, adjusted his deployment and attacked the enemy with 2/3 of the strength of each division. He ordered You Taizhong to lead the 34th Division to concentrate on destroying the 90th Army. Wen put down his weapon.After a night of fighting, the People's Liberation Army wiped out the 90th Army of the Kuomintang, captured more than 20,000 enemies, and captured the army commander Huang Ren alive. At 8 a.m. the next day, Xiao Yongyin told Chen Ming: "Your 90th Army was wiped out by us." Chen Ming didn't speak, it seemed that he didn't quite believe it.Seeing this situation, Xiao Yongyin said to the guards: "Bring Huang Ren in." When Chen Ming saw Huang Ren, his face turned ashen, and he bowed his head in silence.Xiao Yongyin said solemnly to Chen Ming: "Please go back and discuss with your Commander Li immediately. It is up to you to choose whether to fight or surrender. We welcome you to lay down your weapons and hope that you will stop making unnecessary resistance." Then, the deputy commander of the 12th Army ordered the divisions to approach the enemy, especially to approach Li Wen's regiment headquarters as much as possible, and use military pressure and political disintegration to force Li Wen to lay down his arms. At 2 o'clock in the afternoon, Li Wen finally made a decision and ordered all the troops to lay down their weapons.Chiang Kai-shek's last ace army on the mainland was wiped out. The battle of encirclement and annihilation on the Chengdu Plain ended victoriously. Chengdu, the pearl inlaid in the western Sichuan plain, has finally returned to the hands of the people.
