Chapter 5 Chapter 5

The reason why the battle of Qingfengdian can be won is because of the report of the enemy's situation. At the beginning of October 1946, the Social Affairs Department of the North China Bureau of the Communist Party of China withdrew from Zhangjiakou with the army and arrived in Laiyuan. Minister Xu Jianguo told him to go to Peiping to take over the radio station as soon as possible.Because the radio stations in Beiping can't always get in touch with the liberated areas. Wang Wen can not only send and receive telegrams, but also skillfully repair telegraphs. When he arrived in Beiping, he connected with Ganling of the underground party and lived in my house in Suzhou, inside the gate of Fucheng.

Su Shengwu is an old Beijinger. His family is a run-down landowner. After graduating from university, he has no job. He raises birds and plays the huqin. Neighbors think he is a playboy.In order to cover Wang Wen's work, Su Shengwu opened a radio repair shop, with himself as the manager and Wang Wen as the repair technician. In early October 1947, Liu Shiguang, an underground party member who entered the 11th Theater Command of the Kuomintang, learned that Chiang Kai-shek had asked Luo Lirong's Third Army to move north to Baoding.Gan Ling got a copy of the military action plan, and immediately passed the information to Wang Wen, asking him to send it out immediately.

Unfortunately, an uninvited guest who served in the New First Army of the Kuomintang came to my house in Suzhou.In order to send the telegram in time, Wang Wen discussed with Su Xingwu and asked Su Xingwu to entangle him.Knowing that he loves to sing operas, Su Sheng played the qin and asked him to sing with his feet.Taking advantage of this time, Wang Wen divided the telegram into several parts and sent them to the Jinchaji Military Region. Wang Wen sent the telegram before Luo Lirong dispatched.Nie Rongzhen's report on the enemy's situation to the headquarters of the field army was a day and a half after Luo Lirong's departure. If the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Field Army had ambushed in Qingfengdian earlier, wouldn't the fight be more calm and confident?

It's not that simple. In the war years, true and false, especially intelligence, the enemy may give you a false information to deliberately get you hooked.Before Luo Lirong was dispatched, accompanied by the telegram of moving north to Baoding, Sun Lianzhong of Peking gave him a fake telegram signed by himself, not mentioning anyone else, which shocked Luo Lirong, thinking that Lao Jiang had changed his mind. Sun Lianzhong's telegram told the third army to go to Hejian and act immediately, so there must be no mistakes. This is a sloppy telegram. You can't tell which is true and which is false.

Of course, the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region could not act without judging whether the telegram sent by Wang Wen was true or false.Anyone with a little military knowledge knows that the liberated area is hundreds of miles away, is it so easy to pass?No matter how stupid Luo Lirong is, he can't throw himself into the net, right? The telegram was simply unbelievable. There is absolutely no way to believe it. We can only let the situation develop and wait for it to become an established fact. Another intelligence team also sent out information about Luo Lirong's northward journey. This is the intelligence agents Qu Zhongsheng, Di Yuqing, Zhang Fengchang, Pan Shuqing and others from the Jizhong 11th Division Intelligence Station and Jixi Division 4 Shimen Intelligence Station who broke into the city. , They all reported this important enemy situation to their superiors.

Among them, part of the intelligence source of the underground party member Di Yuqing came from his wife Yang Yali.Yang Yali is also an intelligence officer of the underground party, and she and her husband both belong to the intelligence station of the 11th branch of Jizhong.She saw trucks covered with military canvas on the street, but a group of military officers' wives were sitting along the street, selling everything, including boxes, tables, pots and pans, and they seemed to be carrying all their wealth. After returning home, she told her husband what happened on the road, and asked if the enemy was going to withdraw?Her husband Di Yuqing said, you are right.A fellow of Di Yuqing who served in the Third Army also brought a big burden to Di Yuqing to store for him just now, saying that he was going to the north.After the Battle of Zhengtai, this fellow revealed the information that Luo Lirong planned to attack Zhengding.

Information from all walks of life spread out quickly. In order to grasp the enemy's movements in time, Li Chunfang, the head of the intelligence station of the 11th division of Jizhong, led seven or eight staff members on bicycles, connected telephone lines, and followed the enemy brigade northward. Report from the Central Hebei Military Command. On that day, Song Jianhua, Chief of the Communications Section of the Third Army Staff Office, went to the clothing store in Yushun Hutong to make a lot of things, including aircraft identification flags, command communication flags, and armbands made of white cloth.It was fine to stay idle, so he chatted with the clerk Zhong Dingjia, saying that he was going to leave soon after making these things.Song Jianhua was already very familiar with Zhong Dingjia. Three days before the third army attacked Zhengding two months ago, Song Jianhua was sent to the clothing store to make various white armbands and other signs for night use. After drinking, I found out the purpose of making the white armbands, and knew that the attacking Zhengding was the 21st Regiment of the Seventh Division, with a total of more than 2,000 people. It planned to set off at 12 o'clock at night and arrive at 3 o'clock in the morning.

This important information was sent the day before the enemy attacked Zhengding.Because of the urgency, they were not sent to the front station of the Ministry of Enemy Industry step by step, but were sent directly to Mayor Wang Yabo of Zhengding City.Before Wang Yabo became the mayor of Zhengding, he served as the Minister of Enemy Works, and he was very familiar with the people in the intelligence station.In the morning of that day, he mobilized more than a hundred carts from various villages in the north of Zhengding City, and transported the military supplies in the city, including 10,000 bags of flour, to villages 25 kilometers north of the city.

When the enemy started to attack, all the personnel and materials in the city were withdrawn outside the city without any resistance, and the enemy only occupied an empty city.Because the information played a very important role, the mayor Wang Yabo rewarded the intelligence team with 1 million coins.Song Jianhua didn't know the inside story, and he was still good friends with the people in the garment shop.Communication Section Chief Song Jianhua never imagined that what he was facing at Yushun Garment Store was not an ordinary clerk Zhong Dingjia, but the leader of the intelligence working group of the Shijiazhuang Underground Party. He once again revealed to the clerk Zhong Dingjia that Chiang Kai-shek wanted to When I came to Baoding, I thought that Shijiazhuang was an isolated stronghold, heavily guarded, and it was a strategic miscalculation.It was decided to transfer the troops directly under the Third Army and Li Yongzhang's Seventh Division to Baoding, and leave Liu Ying's troops of the 32nd Division and its local team to guard Shijiazhuang.If Shijiazhuang was under siege, the third army could come to support from Baoding.

This information was sent to the front station. Zhang Ziyuan and Ma Jie, the deputy director of the enemy industry department, studied it and immediately submitted it to Lin Runtian, the head of the enemy industry department. Minister Lin thought the information was very important and immediately telegraphed the Jinchaji Military Region.At the same time, Zhang Ziyuan was asked to take a few people to the north of Zhengding to observe the enemy's actions and report at any time. It wasn't until Shijiazhuang also sent out information about Luo Lirong's departure, and until Luo Lirong was indeed on the way, that Nie Rongzhen sent a telegram to the field army headquarters in Baobei.

On October 15, 1947, Luo Lirong's Third Army set off from Shijiazhuang and arrived at the village south of Dongchangshou Station to camp on the same day.Zhang Ziyuan reported the mileage of the enemy's operations, and estimated that the enemy only traveled 35 kilometers a day, and it took two days to reach Ding County.They expected that the Third Army might go in two ways when it reached Ding County, one way passing through Anguo County and the other way along Pinghan Road. After the Qingfengdian battle was over, all the captive officers were sent to the Catholic Church in Anguo for intensive training. Zhang Ziyuan approached Liu Tieru, the person in charge of the prisoner training, and told him about Song Jianhua, the communications chief of the Third Army.Immediately, Song Jianhua was released back to Shijiazhuang together with another staff officer whose hometown was Tangqiu Village in Ningjin County.The task given to him was to do propaganda work to the officers in Liu Ying's 32nd Division, and publicized that the People's Liberation Army gave preferential treatment to prisoners, especially the officers. Song Jianhua didn't realize until then that he was captured by himself. Report, all four brigades rushed to Qingfengdian. Xiao Yingtang, the brigade commander of the fourth brigade, drove his horse for more than ten kilometers, and came to the Nosi station to accept the task. Xiao Yingtang, the brigade commander of the Second Vertical and Fourth Brigade, was a general born in Xi'an, Shaanxi Province in 1914. He participated in the Daye military uprising at the age of 15 and devoted himself to the revolution.He never expected that he would become a member of the Red Army in Jiangxi and return to his hometown after the Long March.During the Anti-Japanese War, he went to Jinchaji. It was the morning of October 19th. A common courtyard in northern rural areas, the main house faces south, and there are two symmetrical wing rooms on each side.Telegraphs and telephones rang, and people kept coming in and out.As soon as Xiao Yingtang entered the door with a grin on his lips, several heads of the Yesi who were eating came up to him.Commander Yang Dezhi said, comrades, you have worked hard, you have a pair of fast feet, you can hit and walk, and you have a good style. Luo Ruiqing, the political commissar with red eyes, put down the millet porridge and the steaming steamed buns, and said, this time the fourth brigade ran the most and the fastest way, and they ran when they met each other.If everyone didn't complain or bargain, we clenched our fists and Luo Lirong couldn't escape. Yang Dezhi said that the aid to the enemy in the north has been firmly blocked by the third column's mobile defense, the second column and the fifth brigade have surrounded Xushui, and Luo Lirong's lone army along the way can catch it by surprise. Geng Biao gestured and said, this is called eating one, watching one, please don't be polite. I laughed out loud. Geng Biao said that the enemy on South Road is now close to Qingfengdian, which is a day away from Baoding.The enemy is not used to walking at night, and they dare not walk at night, so they must live temporarily and camp separately.Take advantage of the enemy's unstable foothold and eat it in one bite. Yang Dezhi said that we have assembled a little more than 6 brigades to fight all these groups, including Li Rong's "dumplings". As he spoke, Yang Dezhi tapped the pencil heavily on the military map on the wall a few times. Geng Biao drew an invisible semicircle on the small-scale map of the Qingfengdian area, and announced the battle order to Xiao Yingtang. The task of your brigade is to cross the Tang River at high speed, and cut off the enemy's retreat back to Shijiazhuang from the southwest. Face to face, closely cooperate with friends and neighbors, quickly launch an attack, wipe out the enemy in front of you, and do not slip through the net. Although Nie Rongzhen was not on the front line, he thought carefully about encircling and annihilating the enemies of Qingfengdian, and prepared several possibilities.On the day when the battle started, Ye Si instructed the Ji-Jin military region that the main force of the field army was encircling and annihilating Luo Lirong for a quick decision.The first part of our main force in Baobei has repelled two attacks to aid the enemy in the northeast of Xushui.In order to prevent a quick decision, it is estimated that the main force of the Baobei enemy and the 32nd enemy division in Shijiazhuang may come to help. When the Second Division marched northward, it blocked the enemy in the Xinle area.If the enemy fails, capture Shijiazhuang Airport and Lucheng, contain the enemy, and prepare to cooperate with the main force in the next campaign. On the evening of the 19th, Zeng Siyu, the commander of the Fourth Column, and Li Chang, the director of the Political Department, rushed to Yongfeng Town. Hearing the artillery fire from the 11th Brigade's vanguard, they said excitedly that Luo Lirong would not be able to escape this time.At this time, the 6th, 9th, 10th, and 11th Brigades had entered the areas near Beizhihe and Dongxitongfang, Beiying and Qingfengdian respectively to contact the enemy. After receiving the order, the 4th Brigade immediately sent a cavalry reconnaissance platoon to inform them of the order. The vanguard troops seized the bridgehead of the Tang River and covered the main force to cross the river. At the same time, the Thirty-Five Regiment of the Twelfth Brigade entered the area south of Southwest Hebei, and the main force of the Twelfth Brigade entered the Shiyi area and took control of the Tanghe Ferry; To the east of the brigade, Xiaoluzhuang Qibao on the south bank of the Tang River deployed defenses on the front line. At this point, the enemy has nowhere to go. The brigades that arrived successively attacked the enemies near Qingfengdian respectively.The enemy is also very cunning. Once attacked, they immediately shrank to several villages such as Nanheying, Gaojiazuo and Dongxitongfang, and Dongxinanhe, forming a quincunx-shaped defense system, which can support each other in both military and firepower.Therefore, Luo Lirong led the army headquarters, the seventh division headquarters and two regiments to join forces in the southwest and wait for reinforcements.At this time, Luo Lirong was not in a panic.He believes that although the main force of the People's Liberation Army has arrived, it is very tired and its combat effectiveness is not good enough. He can completely stand by and wait for reinforcements.He thought that it was impossible for the opponent to fight simultaneously in the north and the south at the same time, and it was impossible to destroy both his troops and reinforcements.As long as the reinforcements arrive within three or two days, they will turn around and attack from both sides. It is not certain who wins and who loses.Therefore, on the one hand, he sent telegrams to Beiping and Baoding for help, and on the other hand, he stepped up the construction of fortifications, so that all the troops relied on the villages to fight desperately. At dawn on the 20th, the Battle of Qingfengdian started.The first day of fighting did not go well.The enemy is concentrated in a few villages in the center of the southwest joint operation. With the quincunx-shaped defense system, the troops are concentrated in firepower and can support each other.Later, the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Field Army stated in the summary of the Battle of Qingfengdian that they had no experience with the defensive equipment of the enemy's triangular position, and Qingfengdian did not adopt the method of dividing the enemy in the early stage, which was a big shortcoming.This is also related to haste, because the battle of Qingfengdian was not prepared for the battle, but immediately went into battle after a continuous rapid march. At this time, it was impossible and impossible to divide the enemy. .Zeng Siyu, the commander of the Fourth Column, reported to Geng Biao and captured the enemy, but the results were not great on the first day.He didn't report the consumption, nor did he mention the casualties. One was that it was only the first day, so the consumption was meaningless.The other one is to drive the enemy into a bunch. We have suffered a lot of casualties, but it is difficult to eliminate the enemy in a short period of time, and the situation in Baobei will definitely become more and more serious. Zeng Siyu neither reported these ideas nor did he Explain to the next that in this case, he can't complain, he has to think about it for himself. On the evening of the 20th, Zeng Siyu was thinking about the positive side and the negative side in the war room.Judging from this day's battle, the situation on the battlefield is very unfavorable to us. How can we achieve a good ending if this continues?After studying the lessons of undivided annihilating the enemy and how to take remedial measures with Director Li Chang, Chief of Staff Tang Zian, and Field Operations Section Chief Yang Shangde, Zeng Siyu made up his mind. Forcibly split, the first thing to do is to capture the southern battalions.The southern battalions were occupied, and the enemy's core position, the Southwestern Union, was exposed.Take the initiative tonight in your hands.He changed the combat plan of the 11th Brigade and the 31st Regiment to attack Dongnanhe, and asked them and the 10th Brigade to concentrate their forces and firepower to first annihilate the enemy's 19th regiment in the southern battalions, and then annihilate the enemy in Dongnanhe. The decision of an old lady nursing the sick and wounded was undoubtedly correct.Soon, the good news came that the Seventh Company of the 29th Regiment had broken into the village. After 40 minutes, more than a thousand members of the enemy's 19th regiment put down their weapons. Gao Jiazuo fought hard.The 2nd Battalion of the 26th Regiment, the vanguard of the 9th Brigade, encountered the enemy when they entered Gaojiazuo, and immediately caught fire. There was an open field in front of the 26th Regiment's Battalion. The machine gun was still at the regiment headquarters, so there was no way to do it. Hurry up and send a messenger to adjust the heavy machine gun up, and the action will be a little slower. The seizures are not as many as others, but the casualties are great.Ge Zhenyue, the political commissar of the 26th Regiment who followed the 2nd Battalion, said that if we wanted to pounce on them at that time, we could do it, but it would increase the casualties.After the battle, the brigade was not very satisfied. It didn't mean that the battle was defeated, but that the organization work was not meticulous.I thought that the enemy had just arrived, and the fortifications would not be much better, so there were only one or two walls. In fact, the enemy's fortifications were very good, and it was not enough to just hit and rush.Originally, they wanted to sneak attack, but unexpectedly, the enemy was also trying to break out, and the two sides became a confrontation.The fierce battle lasted until noon, and the company commander, battalion commander, and regimental commander all went up to wipe out the enemy. After occupying Gao Jiazuo, Yan Da, the deputy battalion commander of the 1st Battalion of the 26th Regiment, led 3 companies to guard.One was the first company of the first battalion he had been following, the other was the first company of the second battalion, and the 27th regiment was given to the first company.How many times did the enemy rush to break out from Gaojiazuo, but the shells tore off the roofs of the houses.Yan Da still has old experience. If there is a door panel in the wall, it can't be hit or blown up again and again. Basically, there are no casualties. But the enemy still couldn't rush out and had to give up. When the enemies in the east and west were also eliminated, the enemies in the southeast and south retreated to the southeast on the morning of the 21st. At 6 o'clock in the evening on October 20th, it was raining lightly. The 10th and 12th regiments used reinforced field artillery and mountain artillery companies to penetrate the enemy's defensive space and rushed to the bridge. Both the headquarters of the Third Army and the headquarters of the Seventh Division are in Southwest Hecun, and there are 2 regiments in it. Things have changed.Do you want to report and ask for reinforcements? The commissar said there was no need to report. Xiao Yingtang said that it is possible to report that there are difficulties, but we can overcome them, and there is no need for assistance. In this way, the rapid attack of the Fourth Brigade turned into a strong attack. In the early morning of the next day, the Fourth Brigade rushed into the village and seized several private houses.That is to say, the 4th Brigade and the 1st Brigade of the 12th Brigade broke through from the southwest corner to the southwest joint where the enemy army headquarters is located. Luo Lirong personally supervised the battle, and the enemies of the nearby Gao Jiazuo also retreated to the southwest. Xiao Yingtang said, the enemy is several times bigger than me, fighting hand to hand. The Fourth Brigade was attacked from both sides. Several phones rang at the same time. Zheng Sansheng, head of the 10th Regiment, said that the enemy's artillery shells fell on the place where the enemy and ourselves were entangled.The deputy head Zhang Runqing and the director of the Political Department died one after another... If we are there, there is a position! Xiao Yingtang said, good! Liu Guofu, political commissar of the 12th regiment, said that the position is still in our hands, and the regiment leader and the others went up. Xiao Yingtang said, you tell Commander Yang Sen to go back to the command post once the situation is clarified.Be calm, I am going to use the entire eleventh regiment of the brigade reserve team in your direction. The battle has reached a fever pitch. The enemy corpses piled up, Luo Lirong panicked, and all kinds of bullets flew all over the mountains and fields. This is the moment of truth. On the breakthrough point, Yue Zhong, the commander of the ninth company of the 12th regiment, fired a grenade and died with the enemy.There were only more than 20 soldiers left in the heroic company of the 12th Regiment that rushed into the south of the village. Company commander Wei Chengke led them to guard the temple at the entrance of the village.The clever warrior connected the farmer's jujube pole, hooked the bullet bag on the nearby enemy's corpse, and replenished himself. After pulling the saw of flesh and blood for 3 hours, the company of heroes is still nailed into the heart of the enemy like a steel nail. At 4 o'clock in the morning on the 21st, the 10th Brigade concentrated 35 artillery pieces to defend the enemy in the south, destroying most of the enemy's front fortifications. Within 5 minutes, the 29th Regiment broke into the village under the cover of artillery fire. The Tenth Regiment also successively attacked the village from the east and northeast.A total of 4 battalions of the 10th and 12th regiments of the 4th Brigade broke into the village and went straight to the enemy's army headquarters.After all, the enemy is the main force of American equipment, and began to counterattack in a dense formation.After two hours of bloody battle, the troops I broke into the village had to withdraw from the village because the follow-up troops could not keep up. On this day, there was no wind or cloud, and more than 10 enemy planes circled and bombed at ultra-low altitude. All troops launched anti-aircraft fire with light and heavy weapons, shot down and injured one enemy plane each, and captured 6 pilots.The enemy planes did not dare to fly at low altitudes, and most of the airdropped food and ammunition fell on our positions.At 19:00 p.m., after preparations for artillery fire, the left wing broke through the enemy's forward position in the northeast corner of Xinanhe Village in one fell swoop, and the right wing also captured two enemy courtyards.The enemy organized counterattacks many times, trying to block the breakthrough.The 3 battalions of the 16th Regiment turned houses into fortresses like nails, fought bloody day and night, vowed not to take a step back, and fought with the enemy. After the grenade was finished, they used bayonets to repel 9 enemy attacks and consolidated the Southwest He Village. The breakthrough about 200 meters wide in the northeast opened the way for the general offensive force to attack successfully, played a major role in the final annihilation of the enemy, and made great contributions after the war.Photojournalist Gao Liang specially took a picture of them and the heavy machine gun. The general attack is about to begin. Not long after the order was delivered, Qiu Wei, commander of the 10th brigade, was injured in the leg by an enemy plane. Zeng Siyu asked Chief of Staff Zhong Tianfa to act as brigade commander.Unfortunately, Chief of Staff Zhong Tianfa also died. From this, one can imagine how rampant the enemy's planes are. That night, after finally separating the enemy and breaking the triangular position outside the enemy, Luo Lirong was left with a small village with less than 400 residents.The small village was suddenly crowded with more than ten thousand remnants of soldiers. Although it was a mess, it still had considerable combat effectiveness. The fighting in the Southwest was very difficult. There are many troops surrounding the small village of Xinanhe, and the small village is just a small stall.As a result, a brigade sent out a regiment to participate in the battle.At dusk, the second battalion of the 27th Regiment of the Ninth Brigade was already close to the temporary military headquarters of Southwest Heluo Lirong.At that time, Wang Zixing, the commander of the Sixth Company's assault platoon, said that they were more than two miles away from Xinanhe Village, and they were digging holes in the top of the earthen wall to observe the movement.He said that when he got up in the morning and entered a company, the enemy immediately closed the hole, and he couldn't get in if he fought again.The second battalion let the sixth company take charge of the assault mission.Fan Sanke, the commander of the sixth company, was a brave general who was very good at fighting. His company fought for a long time in a small village in the northwest of Southwest Hewai.Fighting in the plains is not like the complex terrain in the mountains, where all sides are flat.I couldn't see clearly in the dark, and I couldn't tell whether it was a small cemetery or what. I just felt that the terrain here was a little more complicated, so Fan Sanke chose the place where the assault point protruded tens of meters in front of the village, and placed a reinforcement class for them. A machine gun.This is the main assault direction of the Sixth Company. Fan Sanke asked the soldiers to temporarily do a lot of fortifications, removing the door panels of the common people, and piled up a lot of sacks filled with soil.This is also the place where the enemy focused on defense. The assault team could not go up quickly, and encountered a hard attack at the beginning.Several firepower points, especially the enemy's flanking firepower, Xue Wen, a correspondent of the Second Battalion, said that a correspondent in their communications squad, also surnamed Xue, died, and several correspondents in Qingfengdian sacrificed. Played again for a while, still not working.The enemy always concentrates on this place, and the target is big.I don't know where the cannon came from. There are both front and side, and heavy machine guns are also tightly blocked. Shi Qingchang, deputy company commander of the 2nd Battalion and 6th Company of the 27th Regiment of the 9th Brigade, said that after walking 180 miles overnight from Xushui, he stopped at Qingfengdian Station, and was so tired that he didn't eat.There are four or five houses on the west side of the Southwest Heights, and we will fight there.A large grave, that is the position of the first battalion.When we arrived, we shot, and saw the enemy again, which lasted for a whole day.Shi Qingchang said that Si Zong fought on the east side of us for a whole day.We occupied the southeast corner, where there is a small house with a well for the villagers to irrigate the ground, but we can no longer go up, the enemy's heavy machine guns are tightly sealed, and we can't go up no matter what. Battalion Commander Cui Kuilong was in a hurry, the general attack was about to start, and the nail hadn't been pulled out yet.If this nail is pulled out, it is possible to use this nail to develop in depth.Cui Kuilong asked the correspondent Xue Wen to go up to see what was going on, and asked them to fight harder, and if they couldn't, they would use two flying mines to blow them up.Feilei is self-made. The explosives are tied to the grenade with a cloth in a pattern, and the power is several times greater than that of the grenade. Even the reinforced concrete blockhouse can be blown away. what to do?Assault platoon leader Wang Zixing asked the company commander for explosives. Because of rushing into battle, there is nothing.Delayed for three or four hours, on standby.After finally waiting for the explosives, there was no fuse or detonator.This time he couldn't wait any longer. Wang Zixing opened the explosives box with a bayonet, drilled two holes in the lid of the box, buried two grenades in the explosives, and closed the lid.Without a rope, seven or eight soldiers connected the leggings together, which formed an explosive package, which was detonated with a grenade as a detonator. Fan Sanke said that the troops should be deployed immediately, which is an important action before the general attack.No matter how great the sacrifice is, it must be taken down, otherwise the troops will not be able to deploy and charge. The blasting started. Behind the main attack company of the battalion command post, there is a blockade line in the middle, which is seventy or eighty meters long.Xue Wen is not big, but very flexible, and rushed up without hurting a hair.Tell Battalion Commander Fan Sanke to let them transform the terrain as soon as possible, and organize a big attack soon.More than two hours later, the attack on the village continued.Started playing across the board.Battalion commander Cui Kuilong is determined to break through this place and quickly expand the results of the battle.He still has a company in his hands.The second time I asked Xue Wen to go.The correspondents are in regular contact with the company, and the company they contact is always the company, because the terrain is familiar and the situation is also familiar. Xue Wen asked how the preparations were going?The battalion commander said that the general attack was about to start. Fan Sanke said that the troops had already deployed. The company had two heavy machine guns equipped by the battalion, and the company also had its own light machine guns and two 60-guns.Fan Sanke decided to make a small surprise first. Because it is a plain, there is a ditch that is not too deep close to the enemy, but the slope facing the enemy is very large, and it is easily exposed. This place is blocked by the enemy.Fortunately, there is such a place that can be used, Fan Sanke thought, it would be the best to get close and occupy that place, so as to develop the firepower of our infantry, and the grenades can also be thrown at the enemy.Fan Sanke said that the ditch must be taken down soon.Tian Wanyun, the deputy squad leader of the ninth class, accepted the task. This person is very good at fighting, and his legs are fast.Company Commander Fan said, think of a way, if it doesn't work, blow it up.How to go?Tian Wanyun saw the place clearly. It was about 50 or 60 meters away from our position. The side fire of the 60 cannon can hit it, and even a strong soldier can throw a flying thunder.In order to be safer and solve the problem at once, Tian Wanyun selected four soldiers, Xue Wen grabbed a spot and became one of the two soldiers sent first. The company organized fire cover, and the battalion and regiment also organized fire cover .Xue Wen said that he saw two heavy machine guns in the platoon suppressing the enemy's firepower, and Tian Wanyun, the deputy squad leader of the ninth squad, was holding a pack of explosives, which were so powerful that he even carried a flying thunder on his back just to be on the safe side. The blasting was successful, the adobe house could not withstand the explosion, the explosives were pushed up, and when it was pulled, all three adobe houses collapsed, and the heavy machine guns stopped firing.But it sounded again after a while, and the company continued to organize blasting.Three times in a row, and finally two people went up, and Tian Wanyun threw two flying thunders, and the soldier made up another flying thunder after going up.Tian Wanyun was very excited when Feilei was finished. He rushed forward and exploded again, completely eliminating the firepower of the enemy's heavy machine gun.After rushing up to take a look, the enemy was bleeding from all seven orifices, staggering here and there and not moving. Battalion Commander Cui Kuilong asked, how did it explode? Xue Wen said, still use explosives. Who went up? Tian Wanyun, the deputy monitor of class nine. It's him again.Battalion Commander Cui Kuilong really likes this brave, brave and flexible little soldier. The assault platoon seized a lot of bullets and a Canadian heavy machine gun. Tian Wanyun made great contributions in the battle of Qingfengdian, and also made great contributions in the previous battle of Xin'an Station. In order to wipe out the remnants of the enemy, the front committee adjusted the deployment: the 10th and 11th brigades were responsible for the attack on the east of the village, the sixth and ninth brigades were responsible for the attack on the west and north of the village, and the fourth brigade was responsible for the attack on the south of the village.The Twelfth Brigade is the General Reserve. At 3:40 am on the 22nd, the general offensive began.Under the sudden attack of artillery fire, the enemy's artillery fire was suppressed and the frontier fortifications were destroyed. The 2nd Battalion and 6th Company of the 27th Regiment attacked in the dark, the guns were so loud that they couldn't hear what they were talking in front of them, they stepped on the half-dead enemy soldiers with missing arms and legs, and attacked the house at dawn.Shi Qingchang, the deputy company commander, said that when they dug a hole into the yard, they were all enemies. An army of thousands of people was surrounded so impenetrably, and the encirclement became smaller and smaller, huddled together, like sheep in summer.Shi Qingchang said that their company had fought all the way to the courtyard where Luo Lirong's army headquarters lived. He said it was no wonder the enemy resisted so desperately and was so daring, and the guards were shirtless and sweeping with machine guns.At that time, I guessed that there must be important people behind, otherwise I would never be so determined. Our soldiers rushed into the courtyard of the enemy's solid defense in Southwest He Village. Ge Zhenyue, the political commissar of the 26th Regiment of the Ninth Brigade, found that the enemy was about to flee, and led his guards forward to observe.Looking forward with a telescope through a dirt wall, a telescope and the top of the head are exposed.With a bang, his face was covered with dirt, but fortunately the bullet didn't penetrate the dirt wall.On the battlefield, there are many such near-deaths. Ge Zhenyue jumped out of the grenade group several times, but he was not injured at all.He was an athlete when he was in middle school. He played both holding ball and basketball, and he was very flexible in training.In addition, he has been in the company since he became a soldier, and has never spent a day in the agency, so he has rich combat experience.This is the case on the battlefield, the less you are afraid of death, the more you will move forward, the less you will die. The troops from all sides attacked the village one after another, and the enemy's military headquarters was surrounded.It was almost dawn at this time, and the battalion commander Cui Kuilong went to the roof of the enemy's army headquarters.The big soldier Yin Yong carried the heavy machine gun and went into the room. Everything was arranged, and the friendly troops on the opposite side could see it clearly.The enemy was listening to their commander's speech in the house, distributed "Yuan Datou" to them, and made a wish that they would give each person as much Yuan Datou as they persisted for another hour.You can also see enemy commanders running here and there like ants on a hot pot. The former refers to the command to take down the enemy's military headquarters at dawn. This is the final sprint. Xiao Yingtang, the commander of the Fourth Brigade, arrived at the command post of the Eleventh Regiment. He ordered Liu Jingwu, the commander of the regiment, to organize a commando to wedge into the heart of the enemy and first take down the strong support point at the enemy's front.Make the enemies on other points lose support and lose confidence. The enemy has indeed collapsed and wants to break out from Xiaonanmen. Xiao Yingtang said, resolutely block it, you can't let an enemy go, and use all the remaining shells.The follow-up troops of the 11th regiment, the team directly under the brigade, the special agent company, and the staff of the agency all went into battle. After 40 minutes, the battle ended and the enemy was wiped out.After a while, the results of the battle came up, and more than 1,000 enemies were captured. How many?Say it again. There are more than 1,000 and more, there are more than 1,500, the exact number is being checked, there will only be more, not less. Did you catch Luo Lirong? No.Catch a teacher. Last name? did not ask. Give me a closer look at Luo Lijun.Xiao Yingtang smiled with satisfaction. Within a few minutes, Xiao Yingtang called again. The command posts of the three regiments were all the same, and there was no one there. They all went out to clean the battlefield. According to the captive policy, returning the personal belongings of the captured Kuomintang army officers and soldiers is estimated that the enemy will resist for a while, and all kinds of artillery and machine guns are very tight.Assault platoon leader Wang Zixing said that after a battle on the outskirts of the village, there were only 9 people in our platoon including me, and there were only 36 people left in the company, and there were no more grenades.No matter what happens, take the big flying thunder and throw it along the wall, covering up the chaotic noise of the enemy.Wang Zixing said that he didn't expect the enemy to come to this place, and he quickly took down the enemy's military headquarters without fighting. He handed over more than 40 light machine guns, but unfortunately he didn't get a 60 gun.If you don't just make two minor meritorious deeds, maybe you will also make great meritorious deeds. Jia Guifu, squad leader of the 3rd Company of the 1st Battalion of the 26th Regiment, led the whole squad to the front. They rushed very fast and arrived at the enemy's artillery positions without any problems.He looked around, ha, it was all heavy artillery.Later I found out what it was like a 85 gun, a howitzer, etc. I didn’t know it at the time, but I knew it was a cannon, counting one, two, three, four, and a total of 12 guns.All the enemies on the artillery field disappeared, but there were not many artillery pieces. Before he was happy, Jia Guifu was worried. The troops behind hadn't rushed up yet, only one squad, could they hold these 6 cannons?No way, he asked the soldiers in the squad to sit on a cannon one by one, which was not enough, and there were only six or seven soldiers left in a squad after excluding casualties.There are fewer cannons, but this is the only way to go, which means that the cannons were captured by them.At this time, Jia Guifu was looking forward to his troops rushing up, and finally waited for the brother troops to come. After the battle was over, the correspondent Wang Zixing entered the small north room of the courtyard and saw a row of well-welded small iron boxes stacked against the wall, asking what the hell was this?When it was opened, it was full of Bai Yang.It can be regarded as the seizure of Wang Zixing's assault platoon, three carts of silver dollars.The cart is full of boxes, there are 24 boxes, and each box is worth 500 silver dollars. At first, Wang Zixing thought it was a gun or a bullet, and was very happy. When he opened it, he saw that it was money, and he was discouraged.The box was so heavy that the cart had to be pulled by three animals to move it.When transporting silver dollars back, the machine gun squad divided a box privately.There were fewer silver dollar boxes, so Fan Sanke called Wang Zixing's name, saying that the leader of the row divided 500 silver dollars, and asked him how much he took. Wang Zixing said that I didn't get any points.After checking, it was taken by the machine gun squad.At that time, there was nothing.The company commander didn't say anything else, and left some silver dollars to share with the platoon leader.Wang Zixing got 20 silver dollars.He said that after taking Shijiazhuang, he bought steamed buns for the soldiers and ate them.Wang Zixing said that at that time, he wanted bullets and a good gun. Having a gun and bullets meant life, and silver dollars were useless. Only when Luo Lirong was about to die did he realize that the silver dollar was useless, so he ignored his silver dollar and escaped with his own life.At this time, he was not in the military headquarters, but disguised as an old cook and mixed with the group of prisoners. Part of the captured Kuomintang army was defeated. The enemy lost command and was divided into small pieces.The enemy soldiers had to lay down their weapons one by one, and the battle ended victoriously by 11:30 am. A battalion of the fraternal army got into the enemy's pocket, and the enemy was stuck, and the wounded and captured soldiers would rather die than surrender.Only part of it came out.Xue Wen said that after fighting for a few days, he could not see the enemy's body. He was wondering where the enemy put the body?Only after entering did we realize that the enemy used dead bodies to build windows, or buried them under firewood from fellow villagers, and there were also our sacrificed comrades inside.Xue Wen thought of Tian Wanyun who was covered in blood, and hurried back to look for it. There was no Tian Wanyun's body on the starting position.Because the battalion department was responsible for collecting the corpses, the company didn't know about it. Some officers and soldiers of the Kuomintang army voluntarily surrendered to our army. Tian Wanyun rushed up to blast for the second time. It was already dark when the firepower was pulled out, and the troops rushed up, and Tian Wanyun's company also rushed up.The progress was very fast, and Luo Lirong's military headquarters was reached before dawn.And Tian Wanyun, who had completed the blasting mission and returned, had already reached the edge of the trench, and jumped in again.Before he could jump, he was shot in the head and bled a lot. Originally he was wounded in two places, but this time he was hit again, and everyone thought he was honored. The summary of the Qingfengdian battle said: There has been progress in the concentrated use of firepower and troops, and some experience has been learned from the battles of the South Cooperative Battalion and the Southwest Cooperative.南合营战斗集中野炮八门、山炮两门、迫击炮20门，在统一信号下同时开火，轻武器抵近射击，以短促旺盛的火力完全压制了敌人。不到1小时全部占领了南合营，歼敌两个营，只有少数逃窜。 打扫战场的结果很快就出来了，敌军长、副军长、师长在内一共俘虏1 14万人，打死打伤2700多人，连同保北阻击战共歼灭敌人1．8万余人，缴获敌人各种炮72门，轻重机枪489挺，长短枪4338枝，电台8部，击落击伤敌机各1架。10月23日中共中央嘉奖电说这一胜利“创晋察冀歼敌战新纪录”。 俘虏中的军官都陆续清点出来了，独独少了第三军军长罗历戎。 按说罗历戎是插翅也逃不走的，他也不会死，但是他在哪里呢？真让他逃脱了吗？大家正在心急时，独八旅旅长徐德操来了一个报告。 罗历戎抓到了，活的，在我们那里。 原来，罗历戎见大势已去，换上士兵服，扮成一个老炊事兵，乘混战带了300多人从西南合逃了出来，一直往东南方向，没想到撞上了在南合庄的独八旅，被抓了俘虏。我们的战士也不认识这位将军，但凭经验，认为他是一个军官，就把他放在俘虏军官的行列中，关在一所院子里。当时也只把他当成一名普通军官，也许谈谈话，没什么问题就把他遣返了。也就这么巧，独八旅的旅长徐德操是长征的老红军，当年也是县总部的八大参谋之一。在1946年上半年国共停战谈判期间，曾是军事调处执行部石家庄执行小组成员，同罗历戎打过交道。 当年罗历戎带着胜利者的微笑说，徐代表，你要在那边过不去，就到我这里来吧。 徐德操用很肯定的语气说。不出三年，我到俘虏营里找你。 罗历戎说，你又激动了，又激动了…… 被俘的国民党第三军副军长杨光钰(中)、副参谋长吴铁铮(左)、新闻处主任宋文(右) 徐德操走进院子，想起一年多前的对话，望着坐了一地的东倒西歪的俘虏，他没有想到这里面就有罗历戎。这时，他并没有认出罗历戎。一个俘虏兵扔了一个石子，不知道是有意被俘的国民党第三军军长罗历戎还是无意，这个石子引起了徐德操的注意。他看见一个俘虏头低低的，脑袋上缠满了纱布，就多看了几眼，越看越觉得这个俘虏很面熟，就问：你不认识我了吗？ 俘虏连连说，啊，徐代表。 徐德操肯定这个俘虏就是罗历戎。 这时，罗历戎再也隐瞒不了身份了。杨得志听说罗历戎抓到了，让立即派专人把他送到野司来。 也许是想保命吧？罗万戎提出要见见老师聂荣臻。 这一层师生关系倒是确有其事。罗历戎，个子不太高，南方人，黄埔二期的学生：聂荣臻曾于1925年在黄埔军校担任政治部秘书兼政治教官，罗历戎作为学生听过他的政治课。而且罗历戎知道他和聂荣臻同是四川老乡。 杨成武报告了这件事。经聂荣臻同意后，徐德操就把罗历戎和第三军副军长杨光钰、副参谋长吴铁铮一起送到了土地会议的会址阜平县史家寨。 到了杨成武的住处。 杨成武说，罗军长，我很佩服你，你孤军敢走这几百里路。 罗历戎叹口气，说我是判断失误。你们主力不是在保北，怎么这么快就过来了？ 杨成武说，兵贵神速。 刚刚被俘的罗历戎还有点惊魂不定，虽然他了解些解放军的俘虏政策，但这“政策”能不能政策到他身上，到底会对俘虏尤其是高级俘虏怎么处置，他心中还是没底。 杨成武很明白他的心思，说，让你受惊了，我带你去见个老乡。 聂司令员住的房子稍大些，地上放着三个并排在一起的八仙桌子，聂司令员坐在一端的半圆形木椅上，两侧坐着其他领导同志。看见罗历戎等走进来，聂司令员和他握了握手，叫他坐在对面。 聂荣臻对罗历戎等人说，这次内战完全是蒋介石逼我们打的，你们为蒋介石卖命是毫无意义的。如果你们愿意留下，我们提供学习机会，你们愿意回家，可以放你们回去。但是，不管留下或回去，都应该认识过去的罪过，改恶从善，重新做人。 杨光珏、吴铁铮也都是聂荣臻当年在黄埔军校的学生。吴铁铮不好意思地说，20年没见到司令了。吴铁铮是黄埔三期的学生，曾参加过共产党，拿聂荣臻的话讲，那时吴铁铮还是满积极的，以后在中山舰事件中退了党。这次当了俘虏，很有点无地自容，但他故意装得没有事一样。 聂荣臻除了与罗历戎和一个同乡个别谈话外，第三个个别谈话的就是吴铁铮。 聂荣臻说，这不是又见到了吗？谈话中，聂荣臻问，你看今天蒋介石的军队，和1925年大革命时的国民革命军有什么不同呀？ 吴铁铮叹口气说，现在这个军队，和那时候的孙传芳军队一模一样了。 聂荣臻的那位同乡，是上校团长，叫柯民生，也是四川江津人。他不仅和聂荣臻是同乡，还是县立中学的同学，在所有集中在前线俘虏军官招待处的俘虏中，数他态度最镇静了。别人都在疑虑，他却很坦然。正是他这种坦然的态度，引起了战地记者的注意，因此采访了他。 原来在4月的正定之战中，柯民生带的十九团被歼灭了。柯民生虽然逃了出来，他的家眷却被俘了。夫人正临产，柯民生很着急，没想夫人却平平安安地被护送回来。意外的团圆使柯民生很感动，他还专门写了一封感谢信，解放军的宽大政策给了他极深的印象。这次清风店战役，在总攻西南合的前一天，柯民生带着补充起来的十九团，首先在南合营被歼，他带少数人退到西南合。这时，他想到了被俘，虽然解放军对家属宽大，对军官能不能宽大他还是没底。真正被俘后，几天的体会，使他相信了解放军的宽大政策。被俘的第三天，他要求见聂荣臻，被慨然允许。 柯民生笑着说，他一见聂荣臻，就说是同乡啊。聂荣臻把他说了一顿。然后说，你今年已经连着打几次败仗了，趁这个机会，回去搞点名堂。就把他放回去了，因为他的家眷还在石家庄市里。聂荣臻说，不管他回石家庄后起了什么作用，起码可以动摇军心。第二次打石家庄又把他抓住了。柯民生在瓦解敌军军心方面还是起了一些作用的。 晋察冀司令员聂荣臻在清风店战役一结束就和副司令员肖克从土地会议上赶到了前线，他一见杨得志，就说，啊呀，你们怎么搞的嘛，我好一段时间都找不到你们了！ 耿飚说，我们走得太急，电台又掉了队。我们三个人就带了一个骑兵班，几个参谋。杨成武也说，我们知道您一定着急，我们也急得很哪。杨得志说，我想，这一仗要打不好，肯定要受批评的。 聂荣臻说，我看你们是只想打好，没有想到受批评。所以就打好了嘛，打得很好嘛。 1947年12月10日，朱德总司令在晋察冀野战军和冀中等地视察后给党中央和毛泽东写了一封信，说土地会议后，野司所属二、三、四纵队，经整理后，内部团结，朝气十足。大清河北战役时想打一个大仗，遇到“啃”堡垒，围敌太多，结果只一两处打下，其余只得撤离。徐水未打下，敌第三军来援，给我们造成了打运动战的机会。此时我军一面支持徐水作战，使北来敌人不能南援，我大部南下，围歼三军军部及第七师于清风店，此战开创了晋察冀部队打歼灭战的好例。 朱德总司令高兴地赋诗《贺晋察冀军区歼敌第三军》。 南合村中晓日斜， 频呼救命望京华， 为援保定三军灭， 错渡滹沱九月搓。 卸甲咸云归故里， 离营从此不闻茄， 请看塞上深秋月， 朗照边区胜利花。 1947年的7月至9月，人民解放军在全国范围内转入了战略反攻，晋察冀野战军也转入战略反攻。清风店就是他们转入反攻之后的第一个特别痛快的大胜利。
