Chapter 12 Chapter 12 Dashiqiao, intelligently captured the enemy commander Liu Ying

The phone in the command post of the Four Columns in Yunpan Mountain rang, and Zeng Siyu, the commander of the Four Columns, picked up the phone and heard: Fu Chongbi said: "Liu Ying has caught it." Zeng Siyu couldn't believe his ears, and asked again: "Say it again!" Zeng Siyu said: "Wait, Commander Yang is here, you tell him," and then he was relieved. Yang Dezhi also hardly believed it, the battle in the urban area had just started not long ago. How did you catch Liu Ying? Si Zong attacked from the northeast of Shijiazhuang, because the road was close and the road was familiar, so the progress was fast. After dusk on the 11th, Fu Chongbi notified by phone: The enemy in the north has been wiped out except for the stronghold of Fancun in the suburbs.In order to speed up the fighting process, Yesi decided to adjust the battle deployment, requiring the relatively fast-moving four verticals to cross the battle dividing line between the three verticals and the four verticals of the railway, attack west and south of the railway, occupy the north turnout of the station, and seize the commanding height of the water tower. On the morning of the 12th, attack the core fortifications from the west side of the railway.

The 2nd Battalion of the 2nd Regiment of the 11th Brigade of our army escorted a large number of prisoners from the enemy's core fortifications at Dashiqiao Taking advantage of the enemy's confusion, the troops began to attack.When advancing, they were blocked by enemy fire in several places. It was the villagers who took the initiative to lead them to avoid the dark fort in the middle of the street, cut through the alley, and soon entered the north turnout of the railway station, connecting the enemy's 94th regiment with the core fortifications. cut off.By daybreak, our artillerymen outside the city did not know that they had advanced so fast, and fired a few shells into the courtyard they occupied.The 30th regiment entered the north turnout of the station. Wang Haiting, the political commissar, said that this kind of fierce penetration, especially at night, was what the enemy feared most, and the enemy did not dare to resist along the way.And we are not afraid of losing touch for a while.Because we are active in attacking and the enemy is passive, it has long been expected that they will withdraw.If they don't withdraw, they will be cleaned up by the people behind us.

In the command post of the 30th regiment, you can see the train station, railway factory, Zhengtai Hotel and other buildings in front of you through the window.The 29th and 30th regiments of the 10th Brigade are progressing relatively quickly. The 29th regiment has already occupied the East Barracks and is developing towards Dashiqiao.Let them assist the two companies of the 28th Regiment to capture the North Barracks and seize the North Road Fork.After the Thirty Regiment had a bloody battle and destroyed the enemy's armored train, troops from all walks of life arrived at Dashiqiao. At this time, it has been decided that the core fortifications will be attacked from the west side of the railway on the morning of the 12th.

The 30th Regiment handed over the position to the 28th Regiment, and the regiment command post was moved to the anti-aircraft gun tower at the intersection of the North Cross Street, the core fortification. Wang Haiting is the political commissar of the Thirty Regiment.It was late at night when Wang Haiting arrived at the artillery building with the guards and messengers, and all kinds of guns had stopped.At this time, Liu Shijie, the commander of the second company, called from the battalion headquarters, saying that they had captured two prisoners in the railway shed outside the core fortification.The prisoner said that all the troops outside will withdraw to the core fortifications tonight.The captives know the password for tonight, and we also have two liberation fighters from the Third Army, who are soldiers of the Third Army's headquarters, and are familiar with it.This is a good opportunity, we pretend to be the enemy and sneak in, arrest a few officials, maybe we can catch Liu Ying out.

The head of the regiment and the chief of staff were absent, and political commissar Wang Haiting was considering this bold idea. Liu Shijie said anxiously, now a group of enemies has been withdrawn from the direction of the North Barracks, and they are rushing to the core fortifications. Wang Haiting immediately said, "Okay, I agree with your opinion and ask Battalion Commander Lu to speak." Now that Liu Ying has become the turtle in the urn, wouldn't it be better to catch the turtle out of the urn earlier? Wang Haiting confessed to battalion commander Lu Fengge the task: to capture Liu Ying alive.

The head of the regiment and the chief of staff also agreed with Wang Haiting's opinion after returning. Liberation fighters Zheng Congfa and Zhang Yongfa led the way, company commander Liu Shijie and instructor Wang Heshan led the whole company, and quietly entered the entrance of Dashiqiao.The enemy was retreating from the gate of the fence in a panic. There were horses and men in a mess.The enemy's signal for communication is a continuous pile of fire and whistle.The platoon leader Zhao Aoer poked the company commander and asked what should I do?The company commander Liu Shijie listened to the whistle, looked at the firelight, and said, "You can whistle as they whistle."At this time, another wave of enemies came over, Lianchang Liu waved his hand behind him, and Quanlian followed.When approaching the checkpoint, the enemy in front found the team behind him and stopped to blow his whistle.The platoon leader Zhao also blew, and when the signal was matched, the enemy in front moved forward with confidence, and the second company got into the core fortification like this.When entering the fence gate, the deputy company commander Jin Weiqing led the second platoon to kill the enemy sentry, and stood at the door disguised as a sentry.At this time, the two platoons of the second company walking in the core fortification had enemies walking in the same direction.In order to avoid being noticed, the Erlian deliberately kept a certain distance from the enemies in front and behind, and walked south along the inner side of the railway, blowing whistles as they walked.Suddenly, a burst of machine guns was fired from the enemy group behind them, and a fleeing soldier was discovered, causing chaos.This is a good opportunity, Liu Lianchang decisively ordered to move forward quickly, and hid under the big stone bridge.

The four bridge holes of the Dashi Bridge are blocked into four thick stone rooms, each room has a window. There are weak lights in the three windows, and the light in one is stronger. A black car is parked under the bridge hole.Two guards were walking up and down under the bridge. Liberation fighters Zheng Congfa and Zhang Yongfa told Company Commander Liu that this is the headquarters. The enemy guards changed, and the new guards had just put bullet belts on their bodies. A row of soldiers touched the sentry from behind, and suddenly put their guns against the sentry's back, covered the sentry's mouth with their hands, and snatched the gun away. , lowered his voice and said: "Don't yell, you will collapse if you yell!" The sentinel was really honest.Commander Liu asked, "Where is Liu Ying?" The enemy sentry pointed to the brighter window with trembling legs and said, "All the officials hold meetings in the second room on the right."

Before the words were finished, Company Commander Liu ordered three rows to block the doors and windows of the four stone rooms. The first squad leader Liu Qi led Zheng Congfa and Zhang Yongfa, armed with iron-handled submachine guns, rushed to the door of the brightest room, and kicked open the door to enter. The captive group in the core fortification "Don't move! Hands up!" The room rebuilt from the Dashiqiao was very dark, and the enemy officers who were in a meeting surrounded by wax heads were stunned and immediately raised their hands. The platoon leader Zhao Ao'er asked: "Who is the chief here?"

Liu Ying did not speak. After a pause, someone said, "I am He Dingji, Chief of Staff here." Can you take charge? Before He Dingji could speak, an enemy officer slapped his hand on the table, knocking out the candle. A squad leader pointed a gun at the enemy, click on it! Zhou Xin, director of the enemy's news office, lit a candle. At this moment, Liu Ying was quick-witted, took advantage of the chaos in the room, rolled under the bed, and never moved again. Liu Ying never dreamed that there was an underground member of the Communist Party of China in this stone house. At 11 o'clock in the middle of the night on November 10, Ma Hanying, an underground party member, drove back from a checkpoint. Gao Jianping, the deputy commander, said that the power grid in Neishigou was bombed and asked him to send two signal soldiers to repair it.After several urgings, Ma Hanying started on the road.At this time, gunshots continued in the surrounding suburbs, and the shells lit up the night sky of Shijiazhuang with flames.The car didn't dare to turn on the lights, so it had to move forward in the dark.Of course Ma Hanying didn't want the enemy to connect the electricity. When the car drove to the Zhao Family Ancestral Hall, he intentionally caused a breakdown, saying that the car had a problem and he couldn't leave.The two messengers were afraid of death and dared not leave, so they sat in the car and insisted on waiting for the car to be repaired before leaving.Ma Hanying just knocked and rattled, but she couldn't fix it.At this time, two tanks drove over from the east, and one of them came to ask what was going on.Ma Hanying said that the car broke down.The man said he would fix the car for him.

Ma Hanying saw that it was Li Fengchun, an underground party member who broke into the tank unit, and was very happy.While beating on the machine, they exchanged information in low voices.After working carelessly for a while, Li Fengchun said to Ma Hanying, you rock the car, I'll try it.He tried it, and the car started. The two signal soldiers were about to get into the car, when Li Fengchun said to them, the Eighth Route Army is attacking ahead, why do you still need to connect?Go up and don't want your life. The two communication soldiers couldn't make up their minds and didn't know what to do.Ma Hanying said, let's go with the tank.So the line was not connected, and he returned to the headquarters.

Back at the core fortifications, Ma Hanying was about to rest for a while, when he heard Adjutant Gao shouting outside—a company commander: "An Shanyu, An Shanyu. I have a task for you." The driver Ma is a Communist bandit. I asked him to drive to pick him up. Electricity, he drove the car halfway, said it was broken, and muttered with a tank driver for a long time, and then drove the car back.Hurry up and ask him for interrogation. If he is a communist bandit, kill him. " It turned out that the two signal soldiers were afraid that they would be punished, so they put all the responsibility on Ma Hanying. Ma Hanying was startled. He immediately remembered that the adjutant had asked him to pick up the enemy regiment commander who had just been airlifted in for an emergency military meeting.At that time, the deputy chief called him a communist bandit, but today he was caught by the deputy chief, and it must be very bad luck if he goes out now.He was thinking about countermeasures when An Shanyu came in, grabbed Ma Hanying and said, "Come with me, I can't help but drag him into the stone cave of Dashiqiao." It turned out that An Shanyu was released after being captured in the Battle of Qingfengdian.The prisoners of war in Qingfengdian were all locked up when they came back, saying that they were poisoned by the Communist Party, but An Shanyu had a good relationship with his boss and was not locked up, but he was not given real power.He usually has a good relationship with Ma Hanying, so he wants to save him. An Shanyu simply asked a few words and said: "Adjutant Gao asked me to examine you. You should stay here and don't go out. Now the communist army has surrounded the core fortifications, and the division headquarters is organizing a breakout. It is too dangerous for you to go out." When Ma Hanying heard it right, she expressed her gratitude. After staying in the Dashiqiao hole for a while, Ma Hanying thought, now that the battle is fierce outside, it is impossible to let the division commander Liu Ying escape.He braved the hail of bullets and sneaked into Liu Ying's headquarters.Fortunately, Adjutant Gao was away, so he hid with Liu Ying's guards and secretly monitored Liu Ying's actions.When the soldiers of the People's Liberation Army held guns and asked them to light candles and found all the pistols of the enemy officers, no one dared to resist. Ma Hanying signaled that there was someone under the bed. Li Fu, the deputy platoon leader, was very experienced. He immediately went to look under the bed, when suddenly a cold hand grabbed his hand.Li Fu pulled, and pulled out a dusty man from under the bed. This is Liu Ying. The Liberation soldier recognized Liu Ying, and in a fit of anger, Zheng Congfa stepped forward and slapped him, "You are too full to drink the blood of soldiers."If Li Fu, the deputy platoon leader, hadn't stopped him, Zheng Congfa would have wanted to hit him a few more times. Terrified, Liu Ying got up from the ground, knelt down and said to Li Fu, "Hey, I'll give you whatever you want." While talking, she fumbled in her pocket, took out a stamp and handed it over: "Take this, The higher ups will reward you greatly.” "What is this?" Li Fu refused to answer, and asked sharply, "Who the hell are you?" Liu Ying lowered her head and muttered, "I... I am the teacher." It wasn't until he heard that the army commander Luo Lirong and the division commander Li Yongzhang who had been captured in Qingfengdian were all in the rear, well, Liu Ying was relieved, and begged the soldiers to send him to the liberated area, saying that he had read the leaflet and knew that it was safe there. . At this time, Battalion Commander Lu led the first company and the third company to respond. Fierce gunshots rang out around the Dashi Bridge, and the security forces captured more than 100 prisoners from the vicinity of the Dashi Bridge.The company commander Liu Shijie and the instructor Wang Heshan agreed that a dozen enemy officers should be escorted to the regiment command post first, and the remaining prisoners should be locked in the fourth hole room of Dashiqiao, guarded by the third row.When a row of prisoners wearing all-colored cotton coats walked out of the fence gate, Battalion Commander Lu happened to come to meet them. Without firing a shot, all the officers above the enemy's core fortification regiment were captured. Fu Chongbi recalled: "When we entered the inner city ditch, we were close to Shiwei. At this time, it was already a little bright. The enemy's planes came to bomb and dropped more than 100 bombs, which flattened the outer city ditch. Because we We have already entered the city and did not bomb us. After one day of fierce fighting, we repelled the enemy's counterattack twice, and immediately reorganized our firepower, preparing to attack again after dark. By one or two o'clock in the night, some troops had already touched To the vicinity of the station. That is to say, to the periphery of the enemy's core fortifications. I took the cadres above the regiment and went to the front to observe the enemy's situation in order to deploy troops to the urban area." Fu Chongbi saw many swaying enemy figures on the train.He thought that it would be quite dangerous to meet the enemy under such circumstances with the command organization of the brigade.In an emergency, Fu Chongbi saw a tall water tower on the right, and immediately commanded the troops to seize it.There is no one in the water tower. It turned out that in the middle of the night, Zhang Yinzhan, the deputy company commander of the 30th regiment and 6th company of the 4th vertical, 10th brigade, was ordered to seize the water tower. This is the highest point of the enemy's core fortifications.It is said that the enemy has an absolute advantage, and the Sixth Company does not have enough confidence in occupying this water tower.However, knowing from one of the captured prisoners that there were only less than two squads of soldiers on the water tower, and that they had been shaken, their confidence immediately increased.Zhang Yin took dozens of people and went straight to the water tower.The captives knew the bugleman in the water tower, led the way hard, and actively shouted.At this time, the morale of the enemy in the water tower has been so low that it cannot be lowered, even shouting and threatening, a row of grenades, a charge?The water tower has changed owners. Zhang Yinzhan heard gunshots from the southwest, and the prisoner said that it was an artillery position.In advance, the superiors had ordered them to shoot wherever there was gunfire.He threw down the empty water tower, and in accordance with this spirit, led the soldiers to rush to the southwest.When we got there, the gunshots fell silent.Under the dim starlight, dozens of cars, 4 tanks, and 2 cannons lay like hillocks. The soldiers patted their trophies affectionately and laughed endlessly. The vicinity of the water tower has been captured by the Eighth Company of the 21st Regiment of the 3rd Vertical and 7th Brigade.After the 21st Regiment broke into the urban area, it made rapid progress and occupied Huiming Road. When it reached Liming Street, the Eighth Company rushed into a building and found enemies upstairs.Just yelled, and as soon as he yelled, the two enemy companies surrendered their guns. Soon the enemy found that the water tower was lost, and began to attack the water tower. At this moment, the scouts in front came back and took five or six prisoners.The report said that Liu Ying, the enemy division commander, was captured. Enemy commander?Fu Chongbi couldn't believe it when he heard the news. It was the enemy's division commander, and the enemy's chief of staff...not only Liu Ying was arrested, but also his regiment leaders who were having a meeting with Liu Ying.Fu Chongbi didn't believe it, so he turned on the flashlight, and it turned out that several generals and officers were captured, and he asked again, that's right, exactly.Not only Liu Ying was arrested, but also the messy people in the chief of staff and his headquarters were also arrested, and Liu Ying's box was also obtained.It's like bringing Liu Ying's headquarters together. After the war, Erlian collectively made great contributions. When Liu Ying was caught, Hou Debao was with Fu Chongbi in the tenth brigade command post that had just moved into the water tower, and he happened to witness this interesting scene.After the Second Company of the 30th Regiment sent General Liu Ying under the bed to the brigade command post, the fighting continued. Bian Jiang, the director of the Political Department, did his work first and told him to call his subordinates to surrender.Bian Jiang said, both your army commander and deputy army commander were captured in Qingfengdian, and most of your division and security brigade were wiped out. No matter how stubborn the remaining core fortifications are, it will be useless.All eradication is a matter of one day sooner or later.You have thrown more than 200,000 Shijiazhuang people into the sea of ​​fire, and thousands of soldiers have driven to the battlefield, but we are lenient, as long as you ask the troops to surrender, you can make meritorious service and atone for your crime. Liu Ying refused coldly. At this time, the enemies at the station had already rushed over, and Fu Chongbi hurriedly sent the reconnaissance company into the water tower.The inside of the water tower is very large, and it doesn't seem crowded even if all the scouts go in.The water tower is very strong, with only one door, and the reconnaissance company guarded the door with a few machine guns.The other platoon of the reconnaissance company went up to a high place, set up a machine gun, and beat the enemy down together.The enemy did not know that the command post of the Tenth Brigade was installed in the water tower, nor did they know that their division commander Liu Ying was taken prisoner in the water tower.The water tower is easy to defend and difficult to attack. After an hour of fierce fighting, the enemy took turns to attack upwards, and finally left more than 200 corpses and retreated to the station.Fu Chongbi hastily used the telephony machine to transfer the troops upwards and asked them to step up quickly.As soon as the follow-up troops came up, they relieved the siege of the water tower. When the enemy retreated, Fu Chongbi asked the guard squad to turn on the flashlight, and saw Liu Ying in a neat general uniform. In his 40s, with a long face, high cheekbones, slightly fat, and of medium height, he is no longer in the situation of being dragged out from under the bed by a soldier who keeps saying that he will give you whatever you want.At this moment, he seemed to feel something, knowing that he would not do anything to him, so he hardened his mouth, and said nothing, saying that they were soldiers and would not listen to me.He also said that since he had been captured, he would kill if he wanted to. Anyway, I didn't shout to surrender. Fu Chongbi was assigning tasks on the phone. When Liu Ying said this, he threw the phone away, took the bodyguard's pistol, and loaded it with a swipe. Dang Dang, he hit Liu Ying on the forehead three times. Hou Debao watched Three big bumps appeared on Liu Ying's forehead.Liu Ying's face turned pale immediately, he thought Fu Chongbi was going to shoot him. Fu Chongbi said: "I am the commander-in-chief of the front line. We have surrounded the station now. I order you to go to the front line and call your soldiers to surrender." Just as Liu Ying was about to say something, the tall and tall Fu Chongbi pulled the bolt of the shell gun, "If you don't surrender, I will shoot you!" The general who claimed to live and die with Shijiazhuang was originally a head shorter than Fu Chongbi, but now he looked even shorter, and immediately changed his attitude, knelt on the ground and said: "Yes, yes, brother, call immediately, immediately." Bian Jiang is a man of culture, so he was very happy at this time, saying that I had been working for half a day, but I couldn't make it through, and you solved the problem in one fell swoop. In order to prevent other accidents, Fu Chongbi asked Liu Ying to write a letter asking his subordinates to surrender.Liu Ying, the high-talented student and major general commander of the Whampoa Phase 1 Corps, wrote hesitantly, the regiment leaders and I have been captured, and there is no hope for you to hold on and wait for help... If you can't support it!Resistance can be stopped. Fu Chongbi saw it, threw the paper on the ground, and said no, rewrite it!To write a formal surrender order.Liu Ying had no choice but to write another one. The regiment leaders and I were left behind. You have no hope of waiting for help?If you fight again, you will die.I give you permission to stop resisting, to surrender... Liu Ying's letter was sent to the Zhengtai Hotel by his chief of staff He Dingji and newsroom director Zhou Xin. Looking at the order to surrender, Liu Ying thought of Luo Lirong, the captured commander of the Third Army, and said to herself, "I didn't expect you to come so fast. War is a comparison of forces. You are too strong, so we will naturally lose the battle." Zhengtai Hotel is an integral part of the core fortification.In addition to the Zhengtai Hotel, the core fortifications also include the station and the Dashiqiao.But in terms of commanding heights, Zhengtai Hotel should be counted.Zhengtai Hotel is a small two-story building. In Shijiazhuang at that time, except for a few small two-story buildings, most of them were bungalows.There are buildings near the station, but they are not as tall as Zhengtai Hotel. The battle for the station is underway.Zhang Minghe, political commissar of the Fourth Vertical and Eleventh Brigade, said that we took a lot of effort to capture the station.Fu Chongbi said that the second company that captured Liu Ying was good, each squad had a small cannon and a light machine gun.After capturing Liu Ying, he beat the enemy down several times.Fu Chongbi told the troops that the artillery fire concentrated on the station, and the soldiers were very emotional. They climbed to a high place and shouted loudly through the megaphone that your teacher was arrested.The prisoners of the enemy's division headquarters also helped to call out their names, and the enemy did not resist so strongly. Not long after Liu Ying's letter of surrender was sent, the intense gunfire died down.It was the morning at this time, Fu Chongbi looked through the binoculars, and it was very clear that a white flag was picked out from the window of Zhengtai Hotel.But the soldiers of the two companies surrounding the building did not dare to go up, fearing being fooled, and told them to come out and gather somewhere.Others shouted, throw out the machine gun. One after another, white flags of different sizes were picked out at various fortifications. The captive group in the core fortification came out from behind the high iron fence in dense numbers.Our soldiers stood on the tanks, holding their guns. The prisoners lowered their heads, occasionally looked up, and quickly lowered their heads even deeper. Fu Chongbi said that after all the enemies from Zhengtai Hotel came out, the command post of the Tenth Brigade moved into the building. After the war, he was awarded the "East Road Pioneer Regiment" by Nie Rongzhen to the 29th Regiment of the 4th Vertical and 10th Brigade, which broke through the inner city ditch from the east and entered the street fighting.Soon, the soldiers attacking from all directions used new tactics in unison, piercing the walls and destroying the courtyard.From the houses along the street, the soldiers used the method of breaking the walls and connecting courtyards to open up the attack road.For the enemies along the street, a small number of troops were left to deal with them, and the main force still moved forward to the core fortifications. If you can't see it at night, you can shoot wherever there is gunfire. The armored vehicle blocked the attacking road, our anti-tank gun fired 9 rounds in a row, the enemy on the armored vehicle was stunned, our soldiers rushed up, and the enemy jumped off the armored vehicle with their hands raised. Jiang Huancheng, a squad leader of the Four Columns, led five soldiers across the railway and approached the enemy's bunker.This bunker was the enemy's battalion headquarters. Jiang Huancheng thought that the enemy must be very tough. Unexpectedly, the enemy in the bunker was frightened and said repeatedly, "I won't fight, I won't fight anymore," and threw a lot of guns. Wei Yingji was the branch secretary of the 1st Battalion and 3rd Company of the 26th Regiment. Their company was an avant-garde company. After occupying the Garden Hotel, it was dark and immediately attacked the core fortifications. They had never been to Shijiazhuang before, and they did not know where the Dashiqiao was. , Just digging out the yard with a dull head, while playing forward, I saw that there was a big stone bridge in front of me, and a wall was built in the hole under the bridge.There is a snake-shaped barbed wire fence on the right side of the small courtyard, the train station is on the back side, and there are two rows of cars, and the gate of the stone bridge is inside.Wei Yingji organized firepower and wanted to enter through the gate. He took the second platoon to cover, and the company commander Liu Chang took a platoon to blow up the snake-shaped barbed wire and rushed up.At that time, I thought that the car was parked there, but I didn't expect that the car was put there deliberately as an obstacle.As soon as they rushed up, the enemy threw a grenade, the car caught fire, and seven or eight soldiers were sacrificed. When they were 200 meters away from the Dashi Bridge, the company commander Liu Chang was also injured, and the third company retreated.The second attack was from the side. Li Zhi, the leader of the second platoon, led two squads up the ladder, and Wang Dianzhong, the leader of the third platoon, also went up and occupied the top of the Dashiqiao.Some of the enemy soldiers ran backwards, and some jumped into the cave.When he shouted from a high position, the enemy surrendered and captured more than 30 enemies. Cao Buchi is the commander of the second battalion of the 24th regiment of the 3rd vertical and 8th brigade.He recalled that our battalion was the first battalion in the second echelon of the regiment, at the forefront.He remembered that they went south along the Zhongshan Road, advancing rapidly while destroying the enemy.Encountered only sporadic resistance along the way, no major battles were fought.Fighting in the city for a day or two, moving quickly, the troops running through the streets with guns in fighting stance.Cao Bouchi was only in his 20s at the time, in good health, and he ran in like the soldiers. The entire battalion ran. I remember hitting the core fortifications that day and joining the troops of the Four Columns. Cao Bouchi's battalion arrived at the general offensive site relatively early, and wedged into the urban area within an hour after breaking through the Neishi ditch. Because the speed of advancement was too fast, the enemy didn't think of it at all.A platoon of the 2nd Battalion of the 30th Regiment of the 4th Column was led by captives and inserted into the enemy's battalion headquarters. When the enemy's battalion commander was asked to hand in his gun, the enemy battalion commander thought it was a joke from his own people. The eleventh brigade of the second echelon of the four verticals went into battle at 23:00 on the 10th.All the way to attack the tall buildings on Zhongzheng Road, all the way to attack the station from Minsheng Road, and all the way to the Dashi Bridge through Xiumen Town.At dawn on the 11th, when the troops on all sides were advancing deep into the city, the second echelon of the third column also joined the battle.Zheng Weishan ordered the 3rd Vertical and 9th Brigade to join the battle between the 7th Brigade and the Hebei-Shanxi Corps, and to attack Dashiqiao along Ping'an Road and Airport Road. The core fortification was quickly hit. The core fortification is the last and strongest defensive position in Shijiazhuang. The enemy used Dashiqiao, Zhengtai Hotel, station and other buildings as the main body to build deep ditches and high forts upstairs and downstairs. The balconies and windows on both sides of the street They were all piled up with sandbags to make shooting fortifications.The yard is fenced with a grid.Near the railway station, armored vehicles and tank groups were also concentrated, forming layers of crossfire. Among the core fortifications, the Dashiqiao is the main body. This is a railway overpass. After Zhengtai Road was fully opened to traffic in 1905, it became a parallel road with the Beijing-Hanzhou Railway. Shijiazhuang Station has a lot of traffic every day. The Railway Administration was afraid that the train would kill people. It suggested building an overpass, but it has not been officially adopted. . In 1907, pedestrians were killed every day for three consecutive days. The Chinese and French employees of the National Railway Bureau donated one day's wages each to build the railway overpass.Because it is made of big stones, it is called Dashiqiao.In the future, if the railway is rerouted, the Dashiqiao will be useless.After the third army took over Shijiazhuang, Luo Lirong took a fancy to this natural fortress, so he ordered to block all the bridge openings of the Dashiqiao, and erected walls around it, which became his headquarters.The nearby Zhengtai Hotel can be used as a barrier for the headquarters. On the morning of the 12th, the sixth day of the Shijiazhuang Battle, Liu Ying, commander of the 32nd Division, the enemy's commander-in-chief, was still standing in the core fortifications and waiting for reinforcements.Constantly resisted with armored trains and tank fire parked at the station.Enemy bombers and fighter jets are also bombing crazily. When Su Wenlu, squad leader of the 3rd Battalion and 8th Company of the 3rd Column, 23rd Regiment, organized the final charge, he asked them to pass by the station. There was a square tens of meters in the middle, and the enemy blocked it with machine guns. We distanced ourselves, jumped and ran away. past.When I was young at that time, I only felt that the bullets whizzed under my legs, but it didn't hurt anyone. Yang Chunlai was the platoon leader of the 3rd Machine Gun Company of the 20th Regiment of the 3rd Vertical and 7th Brigade. They went all the way to the building opposite the Dashi Bridge at an angle, and sacrificed several comrades.After entering the gate, the enemy surrendered their guns, and we seized 4 Canadian light machine guns.We went up from the entrance of the building. The deputy platoon leader grabbed the machine gun and fixed it on the top to fight. He didn't pay attention to concealment and died.The soldiers continued to fight.This building is very important, further east is Dashiqiao.The company informed that it would consolidate its position here.After fighting this way, there were not many people left in our company, and not many sacrificed, mainly due to injuries, which were carried down by the stretcher team. Fan Zhihui is the head of the 26th Regiment of the 3rd Vertical and 9th Brigade. As the second echelon, they entered Shijiazhuang to develop in depth, from the current Xinhua Road to the station.No one could see anyone at night, and the cannons were rumbling.The guard squad temporarily dug a ditch, and we commanded there. I arrived at the third battalion.When the third battalion of the 23rd regiment of the 3rd column advanced to the south side of the enemy's core fortifications, the enemy on the railway police section building was condescending, and the seventh company climbed to the top of a gold store.Hao Deyong, the leader of the second platoon, and Liang Liang, the leader of the seventh squadron, used two machine guns to shoot at the enemies in the high-rise buildings, blocking the doors and windows for the enemies to enter and exit.Instructor Fei Guozhu and the soldiers blocked the side alleys.Enemies come out and kill one by one.The alleys are full of enemy corpses.At the same time, they shouted: "Hand in your guns and don't kill them, give preferential treatment to prisoners!" The enemy was forced to throw their guns out of the building.Soldiers rushed into the building and escorted out more than 400 prisoners. The 1st Battalion of the 23rd Regiment wiped out the enemies in Ningyuan Street and approached Zhengtai Hotel. The 2nd Battalion of the 23rd Regiment launched an attack on a hospital not far from the train station. The battalion commander Zhan Hailan held a submachine gun and directed the troops while shooting at the enemy until he was shot and wounded. The other two regiments and brother brigades of the Eighth Brigade gradually advanced to the urban area. By the night of the 11th, they had pushed the enemy's division headquarters and two regiments into their own core fortifications. Liu Ying was in a hurry, and Chiang Kai-shek had promised reinforcements until the Dashiqiao was crumbling, but there was not even a shadow.Chiang Kai-shek gave Liu Ying an order at this time: "Defend the third line of defense at all costs, and I will order the Air Force to fully cooperate." Chiang Kai-shek didn't know that Liu Ying was captured while studying with the officers on how to stick to his orders. At the conclusion of the Battle of Shijiazhuang, Commander Yang Dezhi said that Liu Ying himself did not have the confidence to defend.After his capture, he admitted that he did not have the confidence to keep.This can be seen from the beginning of the Shijiazhuang battle. He gave up the airport, saying that he had no choice but to give up.But isn't it even more helpless to give up?Liu Ying's division is far inferior to the enemy's 94th and 16th armies in combat effectiveness, and has no combat experience. This can be seen from the division commander Liu Ying.As an isolated city, Liu Ying's deployment of troops was wrong.He asked the Home Returning Corps to guard the Outer City Valley, and the main force to guard the Inner City Valley. Such a big city can be defended from all sides, and its troops are highly dispersed, making it impossible to defend.In the end, his core fortifications had only one regiment.If he concentrates his forces to defend the core fortifications, of course we can take them, but it may cause us greater casualties. In the city center, the battle for the enemy's headquarters building is ongoing.The military building is adjacent to the Dashi Bridge in the south and the North Barracks in the north. There are 40 to 50 rooms inside, with two floors above and below. There is a rectangular yard in the middle.An American heavy machine gun and four or five crooked handles were mounted on the window and kept firing.Our soldiers have entered the third bungalow, which is only more than 10 meters away from the building.Zhao Rongsheng, the deputy squad leader of the 11th company squad, yelled to hand in his guns and not to kill. When he found an enemy looking out, he shouted, come here quickly, it's okay to come here. At that time, 14 captives came over.Zhao Rongsheng called to the west again, and a cook came out from the west, saying that the west was the kitchen and the ammunition room, and there was no one there.The company decided to use machine guns to cover it, and surrounded it in two ways from east to west. One row made a serpentine leap from the southwest along the root of the house and from the base of the building.The third row was on the east side. Some used the base of the pillars, and some used the cars in the yard to jump to the foot of a short wall facing the street and quickly dug a bunker.At this time, a row occupied the one-story house on the west, and the enemy upstairs retreated to the southeast.The second row caught up to the corridor and caught more than a dozen people. The battle was temporarily calm, and the company asked the soldiers to do fortifications on the small wall in the east. Jing Quanxi went to the south room to carry sacks, and heard voices, discussing whether to hand over the gun.Jing Quanxi quickly reported to the platoon leader.As soon as he shouted, more than 60 Kuomintang soldiers immediately surrendered their guns.As soon as the prisoners were sent away, more than 1,000 enemies fought back against the building without the cover of firepower. Jing Quanxi, the squad leader of the first machine gun squad, and Yao Lei, the deputy squad leader, each blocked the south entrance with a machine gun. The machine guns in the second row upstairs Focus on shooting deep into the enemy.There are 4 assistants next to each machine gun shooter, two pressing bullets, one changing the gun body, and the other looking around for enemy bullets. The hands of the machine gun shooter were swollen from the constant beating.The platoon leader Han Shaolai and the rest of the soldiers blocked the north entrance with grenades.When they ran out of grenades, they went upstairs and downstairs to look for American grenades. When they ran out of American grenades, they fired Japanese grenades.Slices of the enemy were blown down, the enemy shrank back, the soldiers rushed down to chase, and captured more than 60 prisoners, including Dong Liangchu, the deputy head of the lieutenant colonel, and Gao Jianping, the head of the division lieutenant colonel. Until the end of the entire Shijiazhuang battle, the enemy could not get close to the densely fired military headquarters building, and the eleventh company only sacrificed one soldier and injured four. Li Luan, the communication squad leader of the 3rd Battalion of the 23rd Regiment, had been following Battalion Commander Ma Zhaomin at that time. The real difficulty was Dashiqiao, and the enemy wanted to hold on to Dashiqiao.Be well-prepared for all kinds of obstacles.In the end, the enemy surrounded him with dead bodies.The deputy battalion commander died there. I tried to drag him a few times but failed. He always wanted to run forward. The third platoon leader Wang Dianzhong said that he was the company commander on the way to Shijiazhuang, and the company commander was shot and died before he entered Dashiqiao.Our company is the first echelon of the battalion, and the battalion is the first echelon of the regiment, the first to enter the battle.The company commander Liu Chang meant that it doesn't matter if you slow down, don't reveal your intentions, and stipulated that it was dawn time. Didn't Wang Dianzhong use explosives, and quietly took advantage of the darkness to enter South Street?Quite a long time?On the evening of the 11th, we occupied 3 of the 4 caves near Dashiqiao.But the terrain of this place is unfavorable, a row of more than 30 people huddled there, and it was difficult to observe outside.The enemy guarding the station was Liu Ying's main force, a reinforced battalion, not to mention strong firepower, there were also many bunkers and a water tower, which was still in the hands of the enemy at this time. The enemy is condescending, and the firepower coordination of all parties is relatively strict.But the enemy stood firm and turned back twice. If he didn't turn back, he didn't come out again.The enemy is exhausted at this point, and they are also afraid of repeated counterattacks, which will reverse their old nest.However, it was inconvenient for our third platoon to contact the company headquarters for fire support, so we had to be beaten passively.Wang Dianzhong said that it had no choice but to stay in the stone bridge during the day, waiting for the general attack.He secretly searched the terrain near the station, he knew exactly where the enemy's firepower was, and where to approach the enemy. After holding on for such a long time, there were 11 soldiers left before the final charge.Casualties are not large.We have a light machine gun, which is not easy to shoot. We have found the target a few times, and we have given a few shuttles.The shooter is Xia Laochou, a soldier from Zhengding County, really good.Brother troops have approached Zhengda Hotel, the Second Battalion is on our left, and Du Yuhua, the chief of staff of the division, is in the Second Battalion, which is very encouraging to us. On the night of the 11th, the 1st Battalion of Iron and Steel accepted the task of encircling the enemy from the north.At this time, the battle had been going on for nearly 6 days. They said: "We must use the heroic and tenacious spirit of the Iron Battalion to destroy the enemy's core fortifications!" Taking advantage of the hazy night, the whole company rushed through Zhongshan, which was blocked by the enemy. On the other side of the road, we went back to the building on the north side of Zhengtai Hotel. At 8 o'clock in the morning on the 12th, our army's intensive artillery fire violently bombarded the enemy's core fortifications, and the Zhengtai Hotel and Dashiqiao area became a sea of ​​​​flames. 二十三团副团长张静轩是个打仗很勇的指挥员，他命令冲锋，教导员崔国彬、副营长安焕文带领战士们冒着横飞的弹片，向正太饭店冲去。突击队一阵手榴弹，冲了进去，从楼上打到楼下，最后冲到地下室。他们一边扔手榴弹，一边与相遇和敌人拼刺刀。近两个小时的激战，在西北角的地下室里，活捉了敌人的团长朱剑征和副团长梁光义。战斗结束了，1300多名被俘的国民党官兵垂头丧气从正太饭店走了出来。 这时他们听说刘英也被兄弟部队从大石桥的核心工事活捉了。 四面八方攻进石家庄的部队此时都汇集到大石桥，准备最后的攻击了。 杨得志来到市里的四纵指挥所，当即命令十一旅攻击车站和正太饭店。 四纵十一旅进展最快，展开了对敌核心工事的攻击，集中火炮向敌猛烈轰击，步兵展开了对敌坦克及铁甲列车的激烈战斗。十一旅三十三团二营四连两次爆破敌人坦克均未成功，指导员健德才、战士杨大海，乘爆破的烟雾，迅速登上敌人坦克，威逼敌人坦克掉转射向，向正太饭店及火车站射击，有力地掩护了主力的进攻，很快攻占了饭店和车站，切断了敌人的联系，孤立了大石桥的敌人，造成了最后歼灭敌人的有利条件。此时，三纵八旅自西南，七旅自正西，冀晋兵团自西北，四纵十旅、十二旅自东北，先后逼近了大石桥，12日上午8时发起对大石桥的总攻。 The critical moment has arrived. 四纵越过事先划定的战斗分界线，顶着敌人的炮火开始了对敌核心工事的总攻，配合三纵歼灭核心工事的敌人。按照野战军司令部的命令，三纵从西、西南、西北进攻，四纵从东、东南、东北进攻，团团包围住敌人的核心工事。 李根元，是二十六团的侦察排长，打得最热闹的还是大石桥，石家庄市里的敌人数那里最厉害，因为垂死挣扎了嘛。打到11日晚上，主力都往大石桥那插，到处是部队。大石桥那有敌人的几辆坦克，我们也没见过坦克，不知道那是什么怪东西，用枪也打不坏，它还照样走。后面跟着敌人，眼看就要冲过来了，三纵七旅二十团二营四连连长杨黑子拿着一支苏式战防枪，一枪把前面的坦克打出了一股烟，后面的坦克掉头就跑。 一枪打掉敌人一辆坦克的故事传遍阵地，战士再也不怕坦克了。齐振华是二十二团政治处副主任兼党总支书记他说，战后俘虏兵说打了那么多的仗，没见过你们这么打法。快打到大石桥时，敌人坦克出来冲我们。我们的战士横着插上去，坦克掉头想往回跑，战士三步两步追上，跳到坦克上，一揭盖，两个手榴弹一举，说冲大石桥开炮。坦克手乖乖地执行了命令。 三纵八旅二十四团二营营长曹步墀即将发起总攻时，围住大石桥的部队相当多，三纵和四纵以及地方部队全都搞到一起，已经闹不清建制，四面八方的部队都在积极进攻。刚开始敌人的炮火打得还凶，迫击炮不断地打铁路，部队沿铁路南北展开，就隐蔽在老车皮的底下，敌人的炮火很快就没有力量了。我们的部队一冲进去，敌人大势已去，都乱了套。部队插到铁路东侧四纵的方向，核心工事那个地方不大，就是高的房子架铁丝网，有些碉堡，工事范围很小。冲进去，很快战斗就结束了，也分不清是你缴的武器，还是我缴的武器。 石家庄战役规定在大石桥会师，所以四面过来的部队都集中到了这里，太多，把敌人赶到桥那边去了。先赶来的部队已经把敌人的军部占了，敌兵全都集中在马路上，没有掩体，就临时弄土袋子堆起来，有一个的，有两个的，有三个的，马路上到处趴着敌兵，趴了满满一马路。也没法打，敌人都在沙袋子后面，枪根本打不透，只有逼近射击。这时候，敌我双方都纠缠到一起，城外我们的大炮不好再射击了，战士们就推着沙袋往前进攻。 张根生是三纵七旅二十一团二营四连战士，他回忆说，打巷战时我们连长牺牲了，就在中山路西口上，敌人扔了个手榴弹，一下就炸死了他。再往东打，也搞不清哪个部队是哪个部队，人山人海。 三纵八旅二十三团三营主要任务是打巷战，虽然整个石家庄枪声不断，但三营一路上没进行什么战斗，只是零碎俘虏了一些敌人。三营就一直往前推，推到了大石桥。团长张英辉对马兆民的三营很满意，说他们打得猛。到了大石桥，天就快亮了。 二十三团的二营长詹海兰一看进展顺利，很高兴，也拿起枪打敌人，没想到冷不防让敌人把肠子打了七八个眼，抬下去了。三营一走，一营就填了空，打得相当不错。 三营按命令围着大石桥向南转了半个圈，那边的敌人全跑了，一个敌人也没有。 大石桥这边，战士们推倒了墙进去，在营长朱彪带领—下，向正太饭店发起了进攻，堵住吊桥，活捉了敌人的团长，逼迫里面的1000多个敌人投了降。 第—个打开突破口的张鸿和他的仅有一个排人数的连队，4个多小时就打到了市中心。这时敌人来了好几架飞机，扔炸弹也扔下不少麻袋，因为和敌人挨得太近，不少就扔在这边，打开—看，都是饼干一类。没听说炸着人，随后他们就上了花园饭店，探头—看，大石桥就在眼前，不到六七十米。看着看着，敌人就插上了白旗，缴枪了。 三纵九旅二十六团一营三连班长贾贵福说，到大石桥天就亮了，敌人都集中在那，里面全是新增援的部队。就跟着前边的人冲，人家怎么跑，我们也就怎么跑，有几辆坦克，等我们上去人家已经打完了。打大楼时我们班遇到一点困难，要进大楼，首先就要进院，进院有个大围墙，大围墙上有个大门洞，敌人的机枪在门洞那里封锁得很严，我们伤亡了几个。这个时间，咱们的部队集中，战斗结束。 激烈的枪声就像垂下的大幕，“哗”得一下就没了声。 石家庄战斗就这样结束了。 11月12日中午，石家庄战役结束了。 朱德向战士们讲勇敢讲技术，他自己就首先实践了勇敢。 自从朱德总司令和刘少奇率领中央工委来到晋察冀以后，他就一直关注着晋察冀的战争形势。尤其是攻打石家庄一战。更是朱德关注的焦点。战前，朱德在致军委和聂荣臻电报中都说了要去野战军司令部。一到前线。他就要求留下来指挥。战役开始前夕，60多岁的朱德仍留在野战军司令部。 At this time.敌机不断地来轰炸，大家都在担心总司令的安全。野战军司令员杨得志一再劝总司令走，到冀中军区所在地河间地去，冀中军区司令员孙毅在那里。朱德摇头不肯，说你们不都是在这里吗？未必飞机就专找我朱德。远在陕北的毛泽东得到朱德仍在前线的消息，很不放心。给刘少奇拍了一封电报，请他劝朱总回工委，不要亲临前线：朱德还是不走。 杨得志没办法，便下“命令”：总司令，你到河间？我们会随时向你报告的。朱德这才无可奈何地说．野战军司令员向我下逐客令了，好，我不在这里加重你们的负担：没得办法，我只好找孙胡子去了。这才离开了前线，到了离前线不到30里的后方。 在战役打响的第二天。朱德从河间打来电话。 “杨得志吗？” “是总司令，我是杨得志。 “战斗怎么样？” 杨得志说：“部队已经按照预定计划顺利进行。” “打得好，就这样打下去，祝贺你们。大家都在望着你们哪，一定要拿下，而且要打得漂亮。” “是，总司令。” 杨得志把朱德的电话传达给各个纵队。 朱德人离开了前线，心却还系在前线，尽管前线不断地把战况报送给他，他还是老往野战军打电话，询问战斗进展情况，并几次要到前线去。有时他的电话直接打到旅里。当时在四纵十一旅当政委的张明河回忆说，在内市沟战斗进行最激烈时，总司令的电话一个接一个。总司令说：“你们怎么回事？还没有打下来？再打不来，我就要上去了，我现在就去。”吓得几个旅领导听见电话铃声都不敢再接电话了。 突破内市沟的当天晚上，朱德打电话，当即指示杨得志说，突破内市沟后，一定要猛推、深插、狠打，不让敌人有半分喘息，充分做好打巷战的准备，全歼一切敌人，包括还乡团在内。 “石家庄战役结束了？” 朱德又打来电话，电话是作战科值班参谋王树梁接的。 “你姓什么？叫什么？朱德问。” “我叫王树梁。” “你敢不敢对革命负责？是不是结束战斗了？” 总司令要向全国发布石家庄战役的战况，他一定要把战斗胜利结束的消息证实。 王树梁又一次挂通三纵，问是不是最后解决核心工事了？ 那天是三纵的作战参谋柳青值班，他有点奇怪地反问：“是结束了？怎么？你还不放心？” 王树梁不理他，又问：“你敢不敢负责？” “敢！”柳青回答得很干脆。 朱老总为什么不太相信呢？这是因为预计战斗的时间长，没想到这么快就结束战斗了。在石家庄战前，确实没有想到石家庄打得那么快。当时在九旅司令部任通信参谋的陈国戎说，他记得石家庄作战计划是预计两个月攻下石家庄的。 朱德说他一定要听听前线指挥员的意见。 电话接到了十旅的指挥部。 11月11日，总攻战斗至此已经整整8个小时了。市内战斗进行得很激烈，犬牙交错的巷战，在敌人的核心阵地上艰苦地进行着。天亮了，敌机来得特别早，也特别疯狂。这时，野司来电话说，总司令一定要到第一线听意见。十旅政委傅崇碧一听，征求了我和政委的意见，对野司的电话爽朗地说：“我们一致不同意，请总司令给我们讲讲民主吧！” 朱德这才没有成行。 总司令虽然没有到最前沿来，可这个消息对干部战士鼓舞却相当大，各部队的战斗激情更加高涨，士气特别旺盛，纷纷反映。一定要在最短的时间内解决战斗，回答总司令对我们的期望。 天明，我各路大军带着反攻的锐气，动作如虎，迅速夺得各主要阵地。匪师长刘英已就擒，残敌挤到正太饭店的楼上，这已不是什么核心工事，倒像赶网捉鱼。现在把鱼全赶到网圈时，终于在正午一网打尽。而核心工事不可破灭的神话就变成笑话了。 当国民党的中央社还在闭着眼睛广播“石门战事不算激烈”时，我们的政府已经进入市区开始办公了。 到了上午11时，石家庄的敌人全部停止了抵抗。 石家庄解放后，冀中军区独立第七、八旅和太行军区三十四、三十五团在华东野战军榴炮营和晋察冀军区炮兵旅野炮营以及三纵工兵营的支援下，乘胜攻打石家庄以南的孤立据点元氏城。 朱德知道参加石家庄战役的炮兵确实不足，他下令从华东调了一个榴弹炮营来。没想到战役打得这么快，等榴弹炮营连夜赶到，石家庄战役已经结束了。华东榴弹炮营于是参加了之后的攻打元氏的战斗。 元氏是敌人留在冀中、冀南解放区最后一个据点了。 这是一座极为坚固的石头城。城高12米，城墙厚5米，守敌5000余人。我军曾几次攻城都没能成功。 这使城内的敌人十分嚣张。 中共中央及朱德总司令贺晋察冀大捷电元氏城由河北保安第五团据守，团长魏永在抗日战争时期任日伪元氏保安大队长，国民党接收后，任保安团长兼元氏县长。他亲手杀死我不少地方干部和共产党员，他手下有一批亡命徒，常出城偷袭我地方部队和党政机关，无恶不做。石家庄解放后，蒋介石用飞机投下委任状，任命他为元氏等8个县的“剿共总司令”。他把城内的青壮年组成敢死队，企图固守。 打石家庄前，野司接受了上次打大同的教训，打不下来就不打，先围起来，打完石家庄再说。元氏就这样先挂起来了。 11月17日，攻城部队在炮火掩护下，开始了紧张的土工作业。敌人用对挖坑道、城壕放水等来破坏，都没有得逞。13天后，攻城部队挖成了24条坑道，每条坑道都装填了3000公斤以上的炸药，其中独立第八旅在南门城楼下的一条坑道里装了7000公斤炸药。 12月3日15时，对元氏的总攻开始。 6条坑道同时点火，南门、西门的城墙顿时被炸塌，南门楼上的守敌一个连全部被炸死。突击队很快进到城里和敌人展开巷战，敌人团长魏永和当场被打死。4个小时后，元氏城宣告解放。 冀中、冀南解放区内最后一个据点被攻克了，石家庄战役即告全部结束，守敌2.4万余人全部被歼。 在三纵队的总结大会上，宣布：大功团的尖刀连，最后突破了内市沟，荣立集体特等功，并获得“技勇双全，开路先锋”的红旗一面；第二营荣立大功，荣获“精心计划，英勇顽强”的光荣称号。全团指战员认真贯彻朱德总司令“勇敢加技术”的指示，在突破内市沟以及城市巷战和攻克敌人核心工事中表现突出，荣获“大功团”光荣称号。纵队司令员郑维山和政委胡耀邦代表纵队党委把一面“能攻善守，英勇顽强”的锦旗授予了他们。
