Chapter 96 96. The scene where Long Yingtai dodges

■ Talking, you must face the big scene of retreat, you can't avoid talking.Long Yingtai talked about the Fifty-Second Army and Liu Yuzhang, the commander of the army. In fact, he was talking about the Fifty-two Army that won and advanced, not the Fifty-two Army that fled.The Fifty-Second Army was finally sent to participate in the so-called "Shanghai Defense War", but was thrown to the front line without telling the Fifty-Second Army at all.The history of the retreat is too realistic, please use historical materials to tell Long Yingtai something. □On April 10, 1991, the Kuomintang military newspaper "Youth Daily" published a special article by military reporter Liu Yifu - "Invincible in a whole body, brave in a hundred battles, and a god", Liu Yuzhang "witnessed" by him , to recall.Liu Yifu mentioned an incident when Shanghai withdrew in 1949. He said that Liu Yuzhang's "Fifty-second Army arrived in Shanghai and was ordered to guard the west of Shanghai... When Shanghai retreated, it was the Fifty-second Army's rear that sent the The transfer in Shanghai is safe and sound."Regarding this historical fact, Liu Yifu also disclosed in detail in the book "Ever Victory General Liu Yuzhang".He recorded Liu Yuzhang:

Talking about the defense of Shanghai, at this time he really said angrily: "We are fighting desperately to be orderly. Unexpectedly, people have already started to retreat. There was no wind in advance. When I found that there were only vehicles going to the dock on the road, there were no vehicles going back. We left, and we crossed more and more in the future, so we felt something was wrong. We sent people to inquire, and after a whole day, we couldn’t get the essentials, so we had to do it ourselves. Can't stop! We are still kept in the dark, if we are a little slow, will the consequences be conceivable?"

Regarding this wonderful phenomenon, Liu Yuzhang wrote a special chapter in "Fifty Years of Military Affairs" about "Shanghai's retreat" and "Battle to Defend Greater Shanghai". He defended it for half a month. On May 25, he discovered that The more "defensive" the situation became, the more wrong it became. It seemed that other troops were "continuously rushing to Wusong Wharf" and seemed to be preparing to retreat.He was puzzled: Although I have the name of Deputy Commander of Puxi, I don't know anything about the truth.So Li Yuncheng, the deputy commander of the army, was sent to the Puxi headquarters to contact him, hoping to get the news of the operation earlier so that he could make plans earlier, but so far there was no return.But the signs of retreat shown by the situation became more and more obvious, so I had to go to investigate in person as a last resort.First face to face on the battle situation in the past few days, I made a statement, and then the commander will act and reveal something, but the result is still nothing.As a last resort, based on the situation in the urban area and along the way, I asked whether to retreat. The commander told me that the situation in Pudong had reversed. The bandits had turned their backs on Wusong and came under pressure. Withdrew tonight and asked me to keep it absolutely confidential.

■According to the establishment at that time, the commander-in-chief of the Beijing-Shanghai-Hangzhou garrison was Tang Enbo, the commander of the Songhu garrison was Chen Daqing, and the commander of the Songhu defense was Shi Jue.What commander is he referring to? □Liu Yuzhang didn't mention it clearly, but in fact there were three top commanders, no matter who they were, it was important for us to escape for our lives, not the 52nd Army.
