Chapter 12 Chapter 11 The 127th Division and the 382nd Regiment in the Battle of Guangzhou

In January 1949, Peking was peacefully liberated! Guangzhou, however, is still under the claws of the Kuomintang reactionaries, suppressed, arrested, massacred, and bloody everywhere... March to the country!Our 43rd Army was ordered to fight side by side with the 40th Army as the advance force going south.We went all the way south, broke through the enemy's defenses, crossed the Yangtze River, and chased and wiped out the enemy. My 127th Division, full of travel and dust, marched long distances, fighting while walking... In mid-February 1949, it entered the Yichun area of ​​​​Jiangxi Province.According to the instructions of the superior, the 127th Division was stationed in the Pusha River area east of Yichun, resting and waiting for orders.

At this time, it was the three seasons of summer and autumn, the flaming sun scorched the earth, the air was humid, and the power of heat was everywhere, even the crows on the trees were panting with their mouths open... Most of the commanders and fighters of the 127th Division come from the north. They live in the icy and snowy Northeast, where the summer is dry and pleasant.However, when they came to Jiangxi all of a sudden, let alone adapting to the southern climate and water and soil, the sweltering heat was enough for them. They couldn't breathe, and their bodies were soaked in sweat and sticky. Can't wait to peel off a layer of skin.Coupled with the exhaustion of the army, many people suffered from malaria, enteritis and stomach problems.

As a result, the commanders and fighters became restless emotionally, and they were not fully mentally prepared for the southward battle.Faced with this situation, the division party committee decided to use the rest time of the troops to carry out pre-war military and political training as soon as possible. First of all, various meetings were held to review the marches and operations before and after crossing the river, sum up experience and learn lessons.Then, the three investigation activities were carried out: inspecting thoughts, inspecting work, and inspecting style of work, to stimulate the fighting spirit of the commanders and fighters, and establish the idea of ​​​​carrying out the revolution to the end.Then, in combination with the enemy's situation, weather and other conditions, train cadres, replenish troops, streamline mules and horses, and conduct adaptive training.

Time passed quickly. After nearly two months of rest, the political ideology and class awareness of the commanders and fighters of the 127th Division have improved significantly, and the physical strength of the personnel and horses has also recovered and increased.At the same time, the commanders and fighters basically eliminated their fear of being unadapted to the southern climate, strengthened their will to fight, and strengthened their confidence and determination to fight to the south and liberate the whole of China. The division party committee also held a soldier representative meeting, commended and rewarded a group of advanced combat units and hero models, conveyed the instructions of the superiors, and issued a mobilization order to march to Guangdong.The commanders and fighters were excited, passionate, and fighting spirits were unprecedentedly high. They expressed their determination to write letters of war, saying that they would fight bravely and make new contributions to the motherland and the people.This meeting became a swearing-in meeting for meritorious service and modeling.

On September 10, 1949, an order was received: the 127th Division is the vanguard division of the 43rd Army.With an order: "Let's go!" The 127th Division strode forward from the Yichun area with high morale, full of soldiers, and strong horses. On the 26th, the 127th Division entered the Nankang area on standby. After the 127th Division arrived at the designated area, division commander Wang Dongbao and political commissar Liu Jinping rushed from Ji'an to Ganzhou to participate in the Ganzhou combat meeting held by Deng Hua, commander of the 15th Corps, and political commissar Lai Chuanzhu.This meeting conveyed the Central Military Commission's operational policy on marching to Guangdong and deployed our army's action plan.

Commanders Deng and Lai instructed that the Fourth Field Army's advance to Central South, eliminate the reactionaries, and liberate the whole of China is of great strategic significance to the overall situation.At present, we must make full use of the favorable opportunity of Cheng Qian and Chen Mingren in Hunan Province announcing the uprising to wipe out the enemy's vital forces, and then annihilate the enemy in Guangdong and seize Guangzhou.The principle of combat is: first liberate Shaoguan and Guangzhou, and then conduct a roundabout campaign against Guangxi. The chief also pointed out according to the enemy's intelligence report: Chiang Kai-shek's army has deployed about 200,000 troops on the lines of Baoqing, Hengyang, Shaoguan, and Guangzhou, and is building arc-shaped fortifications in an attempt to prevent our army from advancing.The U.S. imperialists also continuously shipped a large number of military supplies to aid Chiang to Guangdong and Guangxi, in order to achieve the goal of occupying Central South for a long time.

Guangdong has a total of 3 enemy regiments, 13 armies, 31 regular divisions, and 5 security divisions, with a total of about 130,000 people. The focus is on the lines of Qujiang, Shixing, Wengyuan, and Guangzhou. Based on these circumstances, the chiefs of the four fields decided to launch the Guangdong and Hengbao campaigns at the same time.With the 43rd Army and 44th Army of the 15th Corps, in cooperation with the 2nd Field 4th Corps and the Guangdong-Guangzhou Column, the enemy in Guangdong was wiped out and the whole of Guangdong was liberated. After analyzing and judging, Commander Chen Geng of the 45th Corps said: "It is estimated that it is unlikely that the enemy will fight our army in Qujiang and Guangzhou, but it is more likely to stick to Guangzhou or Guangxi."

The 43rd Army proposed: "The enemy's 39th Army has one division each in Maba, Dakengkou, Xinjiangxu, and Shixing; the enemy's 50th Army is stationed in Yingde, Dazhen, and Qiaotou; With the army under pressure, they may flee in the direction of Guangzhou." "Therefore, our army must implement the policy of leaning on mules and horses, advancing lightly, and adopting the policy of long-distance raids to encircle and concentrate superior forces to annihilate the enemy one by one." "On October 8, the 4th Corps besieged Qujiang, and the 44th Army also entered Xinhua Town, advancing towards Yingde Guangzhou. While the 4th Corps besieged Qujiang, the 43rd Army completed two battles against the enemies of Shixing and Xinjiangxu. The divisions rushed to encircle, and after annihilating the enemy, they marched towards Guangzhou. On September 30, all the troops joined forces with Nankang to attack Guangzhou through Meiling Pass (the gateway to Guangdong), Shixing, Wengyuan, and Huaxian.

The 127th Division still serves as the vanguard division of the 43rd Army.After accepting the task, the 127th Division immediately started all preparations to march to Guangdong. The division party committee proposed: "Forge ahead bravely to liberate Guangzhou, the last big city in South China!" On September 30, the battle to liberate Guangdong began. The 127th Division set out from Nankang, and soon crossed the gates of Guangdong - Meiling Pass, Shixing, and Wengyuan. The 127th Division trekked between Dayuling and Huashi Mountains, marching more than 50 kilometers a day.On the way, the 127th Division loved soldiers, people, and horses.The commanders and fighters are high-spirited and high-spirited, and always carry forward the spirit of "one is not afraid of hardship, two is not afraid of death", solidarity and mutual assistance, and brave fighting with full emotions.

On the way, the 127th Division not only received a warm welcome from the people in the old areas on the Jiangxi-Guangdong border, but also learned that the People's Republic of China was established and Comrade Mao Zedong was elected as the chairman of the Central People's Government. This great news made the commanders and fighters forget the fatigue of the long-distance trek. They cheered and shouted loudly, and they all said: We must overcome all difficulties, fight resolutely and bravely to Guangzhou, destroy all enemies who dare to resist, bury the Jiang family dynasty, Practical actions to celebrate the birth of new China.

On October 9, after a day and night of marching, the 127th Division was passing Wengyuan County.At this time, Li Shiyin, the commander of the reconnaissance company, led the cavalry squad and underground party members, escorted two prisoners who had just been captured from the front, and came to me, and reported: "According to the reconnaissance, Fogang County and Hua County are ahead. There is an enemy stronghold, which is the 307th Regiment (known as the Iron Regiment) of the 103rd Division of the 39th Army of the enemy. It is fully equipped with American equipment and has a total of more than 2,000 people (including more than 100 local armed forces). It has occupied both sides of the Fogang River and built relatively strong fortifications. And the bunker, prepare to defend.” After hearing this, the division commander ordered: "Communication officer, report the situation to the military headquarters immediately." "Order the troops to run towards Fogang!" "Try to get as close to the enemy as possible, quickly find out the situation, first divide and encircle and annihilate the enemy, and then continue to attack Guangzhou." From the night of the 9th to 4:00 pm on the 10th, the 127th Division marched more than 70 kilometers in a hurry, and arrived at Gangjiangxia and Longshuijing District, which is more than 5 kilometers away from the county seat.Because of the enemy's situation, he couldn't take a rest. "Drink water, eat dry food and prepare for mobilization within one hour." At this time, the main commanders of the division concentrated on the 251.6 high ground that the guard company and the cavalry reconnaissance platoon occupied first, to further understand the enemy's situation, check the terrain, and continue to interrogate the prisoners, asking them to point their fingers at the ground and truthfully report what they knew about the enemy's situation. Through inspection, it is judged that the main force of the enemy's 307th regiment is in the 196 and 139.8 highland areas of the Fogang River, and the 94.1 and 125 highlands northeast of Xiaokeng may be the enemy's second battalion.At this time, the enemy also discovered the approach of the main force of our army, but it was already dark, so they did not dare to act rashly. Fogang County is the only place to go to Jiangkou Railway Station, Huaxian County, Conghua, and Guangzhou.Therefore, the 127th Division must annihilate the enemy and capture Fogang. "Order all troops to take advantage of the darkness at night, give full play to our army's strengths in close combat and night combat, quickly divide and encircle the enemy, and strive to wipe out the enemy in front of us." "After the encirclement is completed, each regiment must actively attack the enemy and prevent the enemy from breaking through." The specific task is: the 397 regiment goes straight to the southwest of the city through Datian and Xiaokeng, and first cuts off the enemy's retreat to Huaxian and Guangzhou. The 381st Regiment passed through Hewu Village and Daqinnao from the left with two battalions of the main force, and went straight to the south to the old city of Shijiao, and managed to get in touch with the 397th Regiment's troops, and fought together to completely surround the enemy. The 380 regiment attacked from the front, first annihilating the enemies on the 1960 highland, and then compressed to Zhangtiankeng and the main positions of the 139 8 enemies.Under the leadership of local party organizations, a small number of guerrillas in the Jiangxi area went to each regiment as guides and participated in the battle. The division command post is located at Heights 185 north of Fogang. The first battalion of the 381st regiment and the division guard battalion, as the division's reserve team, were on standby in Nangou, the division command post. "start fighting!" At 9 a.m. on the 11th, the division command post received phone reports one after another: all regiments arrived at the designated positions on time, the 379th regiment had wiped out a reinforced company of the enemy, and the 381st regiment had occupied the old city and wiped out a part of the enemy. The 380th regiment has led the 196th highland to wipe out one platoon of the enemy.Each regiment took prisoners and suffered its own casualties.The enemy was surrounded by us on various commanding heights, and immediately set up positions to resist. The 127th Division passed through the muddy trails in the mountains and ran for a long-distance attack. The commanders and fighters had red threads in their eyes and were quite tired. In addition, the division's mountain artillery and the artillery team's mountain artillery regiment had not yet arrived. "All units continue to make all preparations before the attack, especially the selection of breakthroughs and artillery launch positions." The division command post issued an order. On the same day, the division command post moved forward to an unnamed highland more than a thousand meters north of the 1298 highland.After 10 am, someone shouted: Look!The artillery has arrived! " We were in the position of the command post, and we saw our artillery commanders and fighters from a distance, driving mules and horses to report and pull, and the one who rode at the forefront was Xu Wanyou, commander of the Artillery Battalion of the 127th Division , Pao Zong Huang Dengbao, the deputy commander of a certain division, they are rushing to the position of the division command post. As soon as we met, we were all very happy, holding hands tightly, greeting each other, and wishing each other victory: Then, we introduced the enemy's situation, terrain and other conditions on the spot, and asked him to choose the artillery firing position and the time needed for preparation. The artillery was deployed immediately, and the two main companies of the Shishan Artillery Battalion were under the command of the 379th Regiment; the other company (company commander Li Zhanbiao) was under the direct command of the 380th Regiment; 185 Heights, we also agreed on the coordinated action of the infantry and the time to launch the general attack. Suddenly, a red flare rose from the ground, like a flame, lighting up the sky red... "The general offensive has begun!" It was 3 pm on the 11th, and the 127th Division launched a general attack on the enemy in the Fogang area.All of a sudden, all the cannons were fired, the fire was shining, there was a loud bang, the smoke was filled, and the earth was trembling.The battle was extremely fierce... With the support of my strong artillery fire, after half an hour, we broke through the enemy's main position of 139.8.The troops are charging towards the enemy bunker.The enemy is hiding in the bunker and resisting!The first charge didn't work. "Mountain artillery is approaching, fire support!" Under the close-range shooting of two mountain cannons, we organized a second charge and quickly captured the enemy's core bunker.Immediately, the enemy collapsed across the board and retreated to the 152 and 194.1 highlands. We pursued the remnants of the enemy, cooperated with the main force of the 381 regiment, and conquered the county seat and Fogang Village in the south of the city in one fell swoop. The main force of the 381st Regiment and the troops of the 379th Regiment, when our Pao Zongshan Artillery Battalion moved to the new position of 139.8, with the support of all artillery, they conquered the enemy's outer positions on the two highlands of 194 and 125, and wiped out a company of the enemy's second battalion. When the attack on the two places was being organized, our field artillery battalion caught up. With the full support of artillery fire, the 379th regiment broke through the position of the enemy's second battalion. The commando led by the second company commander Bai Yunsheng first captured the enemy's No. 1 fort.The seventh and eighth companies repeatedly fought the enemy with bayonets and hand-to-hand combat twice, and finally conquered the enemy's No. 2 and No. 3 bunkers. At 5:00 pm, the Fogang battle ended!Annihilate the enemy's 307th regiment. This battle took two hours, killing and wounding more than 500 officers and soldiers below the head of the enemy regiment, capturing more than 1,000 officers and soldiers below the deputy head of the enemy regiment, and seizing more than a thousand guns (doors, trusses) of various types, as well as a large amount of ammunition and weapons. A lot of military supplies. The victory of this battle is the victory of the commander of the 127th Division who resolutely implemented Chairman Mao's series of combat principles such as not fighting unprepared battles, not fighting unsure battles, concentrating superior forces, and annihilating the enemy one by one.The commanders and fighters were brave and good at fighting, not afraid of sacrifice, and fought one after another, bravely killing the enemy, giving full play to the revolutionary spirit of our army's fierce attack, dash, chase, and continuous combat without fear of fatigue.At the same time, it is also inseparable from the strong firepower and strong support of the artillery unit, as well as the active cooperation of the local party, the people, and the guerrillas. When the battle in Fogang was about to end, the 127th Division was ordered by the military headquarters to continue to advance rapidly to Huaxian and Guangzhou.The troops quickly assembled, and the division decided to follow the sequence of the 381st regiment, the division's directly subordinate team, and the 380th regiment, and continue to chase and suppress the defeated enemy along the highway between Huaxian and Conghua, and go straight to Guangzhou. The 379 regiment led the storage teams left by the regiments to take care of the wounded, bury the martyrs, escort the prisoners, clean the battlefield, and then follow up. The 128th Division, while the 127th Division was fighting fiercely with the enemy in Fogang, advanced from the east of Fogang City to Huaxian and Guangzhou. On October 13, the division captured the Gaotang Railway Bridge and the Renhewei Highway Bridge, annihilating two battalions of the enemy. When this news came, the commanders and fighters of the 127th Division were greatly encouraged!At the same time, I received a report from my superiors and learned that the enemy had decided to abandon Guangzhou on the 14th, and the 50th Army that was left behind to cover the government personnel began to flee to Taiwan by plane on the 12th. In the distance, there was a slight explosion sound from the direction of Guangzhou Baiyunshan Airport.After we heard it, we felt very uncomfortable. I shouted: "Liu Ruilong, the combat staff officer!" "arrive!" "You are on the Conghua Highway, waiting for the 379th Regiment to continue clearing out the remnants of the enemy in the Baiyun Mountain area, and then rush along the Huaguang Highway to Shahe Town and the Haizhu Bridge in the city." "yes!" The division led the main force into the vicinity of Baiyunshan Airport and joined forces with the 128th Division.The head of the army ordered the 127th Division to be the right wing and the 128th Division to be the left wing, to chase and annihilate the fleeing enemy side by side towards Shamian and the center of Haizhuqiao. At this time, the 127th Division met with the vanguard of the 44th Army, and the three brother units of the 128th Division. After meeting, they each ran to the designated block, dividing, interspersing, and looking for remnants of the enemy. The 128th Division first occupied the Provisional Presidential Palace, and at the same time as the 127th Division, desperately attacked the Haizhu Bridge (the bridge was blown up by the enemy) and the sandy surface on the north bank of the Pearl River.At this time, there happened to be more than 2,000 enemies fleeing south. Before they had time to board the ship, they were blocked by us and wiped out.We also seized a large amount of military supplies. On the afternoon of October 14, 1949, Guangzhou, the first big city in southern my country, was liberated!After the liberation of Guangzhou, the 380th and 381st regiments withdrew to Baiyunshan Airport outside the city to rest and stand by: the 379th regiment and the division directly under the team were stationed in Shahe Town and Shamian respectively, responsible for protecting public facilities, maintaining social order, patrolling day and night, and preventing remnant enemies from destroying. The commanders and fighters abide by the three major disciplines and the eight points of attention, care for every plant and tree in the city, and do not take the masses for a needle or thread, which fully demonstrates that our army is the army of benevolence and righteousness and victory.It has been praised by people from all walks of life and the masses in Guangzhou. On November 6, the party committee of the 127th Division held a celebration meeting in Shahe Town to march into Guangzhou and liberate Guangzhou. The meritorious personnel who participated in the pre-support. In the early morning of the 11th, the 127th Division gathered in the square outside Shahe Town and was first inspected by the division leaders. At 8:30, we participated in the city entry ceremony in Guangzhou. We were divided into four columns according to the order of infantry, mules and artillery. Passed through the gate of the city hall with pride, and was inspected by Ye Jianying and other heads.This is the moment of a lifetime for our heroic unit! On the 15th, our heroic unit with a glorious history that participated in the Nanchang Uprising accepted a new task of cooperating with brother units to sweep away the remnants of the enemy in Guangxi, and also prepared to cross the sea to fight and liberate the treasured island of the motherland——Hainan Island. . We are advancing on the road of the motherland! The art troupe played a role in boosting morale in combat. On the afternoon of October 13, 1949, after our 382nd Regiment captured Hua County, we lost no time in opening a passage directly to Guangzhou, so that the Gaotangxu Iron Bridge and the Renhexu Highway Bridge on the Liuxi River would not be destroyed by the enemy, thus ensuring Our army quickly advanced to Guangzhou. The division headquarters asked our regiment to seize the Renhexu Highway Bridge by means of a surprise or sneak attack on the night of the 13th.The five responsible comrades of the regiment headquarter researched and determined that the reconnaissance section leader would lead the reconnaissance platoon one step ahead, use the night as a cover, and secretly enter a small village five or six miles away from Renhexu to learn about the deployment of enemy troops on the bridge and the flow of the stream. Whether it is possible to wade in vain.After clarifying the enemy's situation, he can be caught off guard.The deputy head Wang Ziyu led the first battalion and the guard company to complete the task of capturing the bridge. It was dark and the troops set off.The No. 1 Battalion of the Qianwei marched quietly along the road towards Renhexu, and walked non-stop for about 3 hours. Many people; there is about a company of enemy soldiers stationed in the village. Two cars came yesterday. I don’t know what they are sending. The people who came went to the bridge to see. A few days ago, dozens of enemies were digging trenches on the south bank of the river. The people also said that there are some rivers east of the bridge that can flow across, and we have already found two guides who can take the troops to the trekking field.” The situation was clear and we were determined, so we made a decisive decision, wading through the stream, and sneak attacking Renhe Bridge first started on the south bank of the river.Immediately deploy the first company along the highway to quietly touch the north end of the bridge for concealment, and rush to grab the bridge after the second company on the south bank starts to prevent the enemy from blowing up the bridge. After clarifying the style of play, the reconnaissance platoon and the second company of the regiment, who were well aware of it, quickly left the road and quietly advanced along the rice field path.After walking for about 1 hour, we arrived at the crossing field.The troops prepared to cross the river on the north bank of the river in units of platoons, and set up a cover position with light and heavy machine guns, just in case.Under the guidance of the guide, the five comrades who crossed the river for reconnaissance began to wade into the water.Every three or five meters they advance, they insert a bamboo pole and zigzag forward in the river.The night was hazy, and for a while I saw 5 shadowy black spots moving in the water, and for a while I couldn't see people.it is good!Arrived at the South Bank.The first and second platoons of the second company entered the water in formation, wading towards the bamboo poles, the water was chest deep for a while, and shallower than ankles for a while, and finally, they walked quickly across the beach and landed on the shore. "Hand in your guns and don't kill them, give preferential treatment to prisoners!" This was the sudden shout of the second company and the second platoon to the enemy squad post, which went straight to the bridge.The enemy sentry could not resist and became a prisoner.He also led the second company into the village, and quickly wiped out the enemy soldiers of the first company stationed in the village like searching for something. At the same time, No. 6 squadrons of the company reached the north end of the Renhe Bridge silently along the highway, and when they heard the attack from the other side, they rushed towards the bridge in high spirits.Two sentries on the bridge found out and asked, "What are you doing?" Then, there were two shots of "bang" and "bang".Seeing that the enemy soldiers were coming very fiercely, they were about to run away.The sixth squad rushed up and shouted: "Stop! If you don't stop, I will kill you." Two sentries threw their guns on the bridge and raised their hands obediently to surrender. In this way, a surprise victory opened up the Renhexu Highway Bridge, which is the only way to live in Guangzhou.From the confession of the prisoners, it was known that explosives had been buried at both ends of the bridge.As soon as our engineering platoon arrived, they quickly dug out the explosives hidden in the pit.The captives also sincerely told us that the enemy's main force was converging in Guangzhou and preparing to withdraw to Hainan Island or the Guangxi area. Without going forward or backward, the battle for the 383rd Regiment to seize the Iron Bridge of Gaotangxu also started on time.The victorious gunshots of the two bridges on the Liuxi River are echoing each other, opening the prelude to the accelerated liberation of Guangzhou! After our 382nd Regiment gathered at Renhexu, the division headquarters ordered our regiment to go straight into the Longyan Cave and cut off the Guangzhou-Kowloon Railway.Time was tight and the task was urgent. We started our journey before we had breakfast. We heard constant explosions in Guangzhou along the way, and we saw black smoke columns soaring into the sky in the morning light.Where was it damaged?Inquiring along the way, some said it was the bombing of Baiyun Airport; some said it was the Pearl River Bridge; some said it was Tianhe Airport;There are different opinions.Judging from the various circumstances at the time, the intentional destruction of the explosion was undoubtedly the most obvious feature of the enemy's escape from Guangzhou.In order to reduce the losses of New China, it is imperative for troops to quickly enter Yangcheng and wipe out the enemy. As an avant-garde, our regiment had to make up its mind first, and rushed to Longyan Cave without stopping.Commander Zhao reported to the division headquarters by wireless phone: "According to investigations, there are still some enemies in Guangzhou City, and most of them are retreating westward. They are advancing at a speed of 20 miles per hour." No matter how hungry the stomach is, it can't stop the scud. At 17:30 on the 14th, our regiment entered Shahe, and the soldiers cheered heartily: "We have entered Guangzhou!" At this time, three more loud noises were heard, and thick white smoke rose straight into the sky.This is not a "Salute", it is a death knell! Bing is expensive and fast, time is victory!The Second Battalion ran into Zhanshahe Market, went straight to the Shahe Police Station, and captured the police chief alive.This created favorable conditions for our regiment to gather in Shahe and attack the remnants of Yangcheng.The director confessed that the Kuomintang troops had begun to retreat from Guangzhou, and the sound of the big explosion just now was the bombing of the Pearl River Bridge.According to this situation, Commander Zhao took out the city map and agreed with us on the route and occupation location of each battalion: the first battalion and the regiment directly under the regiment rushed to the city police station and the Kuomintang presidential palace, and sent a company to occupy Baiyun Airport; The Pearl River plunged directly into Shamian and Huangsha Station; the 3rd Battalion rushed along Huining Road and joined the 2nd Battalion at Huangsha Station; the howitzer company temporarily picked up the main force of the division at Shahe and entered Guangzhou.We report this action plan to the division headquarters, and at the same time organize the troops to fight this quick decisive battle without arrogance or rashness, and rhythmically compose the prelude to the new map of Yangcheng! At around 17:00 on October 14, the troops rushed into the city and gradually entered the city. The soldiers were all anxious and started street fighting with the 50th Army of the enemy's covering troops.The enemy used small teams to fortify the intersections of various streets and relied on taller buildings to block our army's advance.With the momentum to overwhelm all enemies, our army broke through tenaciously and attacked forward.Even if the enemy pushes down cars on the street as roadblocks and sets fire to the cars when our troops approach, they can't stop us.As the saying goes, "It's easy to hide from open guns, but hard to defend from hidden arrows." The biggest threat to our army is the cold guns in the buildings on both sides of the street. So at first we had to send some troops to assault the buildings and stop the remnants of the cold guns. The troops dispersed, which slowed down my rapid advance; in order to liberate Guangzhou quickly, we ordered the battalions to try to bypass the blocking enemy and not to confront the enemy on the street. These remnants of the enemy were left for follow-up troops to destroy them. Maneuverable and flexible, when our third battalion quickly entered the northern section of Changshou Road, it happened to encounter the enemy retreating from north to south.We caught the enemy by surprise, captured most of them, and followed them to Huangsha Station to join the Second Battalion.Then they wiped out all the more than 1,000 enemy soldiers who were eager to get on the boat and escape, and sank three large ships and several small boats full of enemies. When the first battalion rushed to the city police station, it was attacked by enemies hiding upstairs on both sides of the street.Our soldiers immediately shouted: "Jiang's damned doomsday is here! The Chinese people stand up! Surrender now! Give up your guns and don't kill them, and give preferential treatment to prisoners." Maybe they don't understand Mandarin, so it doesn't work.The people on the street listened and offered to help spread the message in Cantonese.This sound was not a lullaby, but Chaoyang Song, which finally woke up the security guards who were ordered to fight coldly, and consciously went downstairs to hand in their guns.Therefore, the 1st Battalion quickly occupied the city police station.We want the policemen who have already surrendered their guns to call and ask the policemen from all over the place to come to the station and surrender.Soon, scattered policemen came to surrender their guns one by one.In addition to staying in the guard company to take care of this matter and control the remnant enemies who tried to escape across the river, the Second Company, with the help of the masses, took platoons or squads as units to occupy the key points on the way, and was responsible for covering the follow-up troops to advance and ensuring unimpeded movement; The leader of the first battalion led the third company, the machine gun company and the reconnaissance platoon to miraculously cut through the mess and occupied the presidential palace. Our regiment was able to succeed immediately and conquer Guangzhou under the circumstances of being extremely scattered, fighting on its own, and communication was very difficult. It was also thanks to the timely arrival of the main force of the division and the brothers' troops, and the strong coordination and quick victory.By 6 o'clock on the 15th, the battle was basically over, and more than 3,000 people from the 808th, 809th, and 810th regiments of the 107th Division of the enemy's 50th Army and the remaining joint logistics troops were annihilated. Welcome the morning glow and display the red flag.Guangzhou is a famous city with a glorious revolutionary tradition in South China. As soon as the good news came that the people had turned over, the masses actively helped the PLA maintain order and clean the streets.Stores are open as usual.Some people even brought enemy personnel to our army to hand over their guns. The third company of the first battalion alone handed over more than 300 rifles and 7 sacks of various short guns, which were transported away in 3 trucks.Finally, I would like to say that Guangzhou was liberated quickly, and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment early, and here is a great contribution from the people of Yangcheng!
