Chapter 8 Chapter 7 Finale

The large-scale Huaihai Campaign began on November 6, 1948 and ended on January 10, 1949. It lasted 65 days and wiped out 22 corps and 56 divisions of the Kuomintang elite troops, with a total of 555,000 people and captured 215 tanks. More than 4,000 artillery pieces, 6 aircraft, more than 1,700 cars, and a large number of guns and ammunition completely shattered the enemy's defense plan of "strive for North China, stick to the Central Plains, and manage South China" and basically liberated East China, the north of the Yangtze River, Central Plains.The great victory in the Huaihai Campaign exposed Nanjing, the home of Chiang Kai-shek's reactionary clique, directly to the attacking troops of the People's Liberation Army.The end of the Jiang family dynasty has come, and the city of Nanjing is in chaos.

When Chiang Kai-shek received the news that the entire army of Du Yuming's group had been destroyed, he was in great pain.He roared heart-piercingly: "It's over! Everything is over! Half of the country is over!" After speaking, he coughed up a few more mouthfuls of blood.This frightened Soong Meiling. She stroked her husband who was lying on the sofa and said, "Darling (dear), don't be too sad, it will damage your body. As long as there are green hills, you won't be afraid of running out of firewood." !" These days are indeed enough for Chiang Kai-shek to worry about.The Northeast was lost, and more than 500,000 troops were wiped out. Now in the Huaihai War, all 600,000 troops have been reimbursed.Beijing and Shanghai were completely exposed to the communist army. How could this not make him anxious? There was not even a shadow of the swagger, the smug, the triumphant air with which he had launched an all-out war three years earlier.What disturbed him in particular was that within the Kuomintang reactionary group, the centrifugal tendency was further developed. Chiang Kai-shek's "authority" was no longer effective. The Guangxi clique was challenging him, and the American "friends" were also putting pressure on him. He also felt that the future was hopeless, and he left him, almost to the point where the tree fell and the monkeys scattered.

The disastrous defeat at the Battle of Xu Bang caused a series of chain reactions within the Kuomintang group. Not only the officers and soldiers felt hopeless and had no intention of fighting again, but even the families of the captured and fallen generals came to cry. After Chiang Kai-shek had just sent away Huang Botao and Qiu Qingquan's family members, it was reported that Cao Xiuqing, Du Yuming's wife, had come to see him again.As soon as Jiang heard this, he said to Yu Jishi: "When you go to see her, just say that I am not here. You tell her that I already know that Du Yuming was captured. You just say that it is my instruction: give great comfort to Du Yuming's family."

Yu Jishi was ordered to meet Cao Xiuqing at the presidential palace, and told her about Jiang's instructions. It’s okay not to mention Jiang’s instructions, but when he talked about Jiang’s instructions, Mrs. Du cried like a complaint: “My husband is sick, and he is required to lead the troops to break through. He can’t walk, what kind of siege! This is not clearly what he wants. life?" This crying caused a sensation in many people in the presidential palace, and some privately commented: "Du Yuming has fought to the death for the Jiang family for more than 20 years, but this time he broke through the siege and was captured, and the old man didn't even see his family. It's too unreasonable! Some said: "Wei Lihuang was defeated in the Battle of Western Liaoning, and the old man ordered him to be dismissed and investigated. It seems that the only suitable way to work for the Jiang family is to die."

Just when Cao Xiuqing was crying and making noise in the presidential palace, Liu Zhi, the commander-in-chief of Xuzhou's "suppression general", returned to Nanjing after losing 600,000 troops.When Chiang Kai-shek heard that Liu Zhi had come back, he was furious, and said to Yu Jishi: "Liu Jingfu only makes decisions for himself, and he is extremely shameless. In this battle with Xu Bang, Liu Wude was incompetent, and he delayed the overall situation. It is really hateful." He ordered the revocation of the general headquarters of the "Suppression General" in Xuzhou, and the establishment of the Beijing-Shanghai-Hangzhou Garrison Command, with Tang Enbo as the commander-in-chief to arrange the defense of the river.

... In late October 1948, on the eve of the Huaihai Campaign, Chiang Kai-shek decided to let Du Yuming return to Xuzhou. Liu Zhi, who was then the commander-in-chief of the "Suppression General" of the Kuomintang Army in Xuzhou, was overjoyed and urgently suggested to Chiang Kai-shek that the "Suppression General" be located closer to Nanjing. Bengbu, and gave Du Yuming the task of commanding the former enemy in Xuzhou. With Chiang Kai-shek's approval, Liu Zhi fled Xuzhou with relief. At the beginning of 1949, Liu Zhi's Huangwei Corps and Du Yuming Corps were wiped out successively, and the Huaihai Campaign ended.Liu Zhi fled from Bengbu to Nanjing and was dismissed by Chiang Kai-shek.When Chiang Kai-shek fled to Taiwan, Liu Zhi accompanied him without a face. He took his three concubines with him, and fled to Kowloon with gold and silver in his hand.After He Yingqin interceded, Chiang Kai-shek agreed to let him come to Taiwan to spend the rest of his life.

So, what does Liu Zhi think of this decisive battle in Huaihai?He said: "In this battle, there were more strategic failures than tactics, and more tactical failures than combat." The main points of missteps and mistakes are: "Hesitating about the grand plan of advance and retreat, the result is a temporary battle instead of a planned and prepared battle, resulting in the disadvantage of our forces and situation"; "Poor coordination between theaters and inflexible transfer of troops resulted in the failure of the Huangwei Corps to advance eastward at the same time as soon as possible, to participate in combat, and to lose its opportunity";

"Du Yuming gave up the Xuzhou base area and started a roundabout movement. It was an adventure, but he couldn't show his brave and decisive spirit to defeat the 'bandit army' with quick actions, and put the whole army in danger"; "The commanders of the various troops are mentally separated from each other in peacetime, and it is difficult to cooperate in support during wartime. Even if there is a large army, it is difficult to exert the maximum integrated combat power." Nationalist Army Command: "The main reason for the failure is firstly the strategic error, and the second is that the tactics are still lack of improvement and it is difficult to support the strategy. Others, such as the maintenance of continuous combat power, integrated combat power and counterintelligence, all have major mistakes."

The Seventy-Fourth Division of the Kuomintang, the New First Army, the New Sixth Army, the Eighteenth Army (that is, the entire Eleventh Division), and the New Fifth Army are all the top elite mechanized troops of the Kuomintang. The Seventy-Fourth Division is known as the "model army" of the Kuomintang.It is the basis for the Kuomintang reactionaries to dare to create a civil war.It is the "Imperial Forest Army" of the Chiang Bandits, also known as the "Golden Diamond" of the Kuomintang army. It has been trained by the US military and is equipped with all American weapons.On May 15 of the year before last in Menglianggu, it was completely annihilated. The commander of the division - the beloved disciple of the US emperor and the confidant of Chiang Kai-shek - Zhang Lingfu was also shot dead at the same time. Jiang thief heard it and cried bitterly.

The New First Army, known as the "No. 1 Army in the World", is a U.S. weaponry unit that is the direct line of Chiang Kai-shek along with the New Sixth Army. It is commanded by Liao Yaoxiang, the commander of the captured Sixth Corps.In October last year, the entire army was wiped out in the Battle of Dahushan in western Liaoning.Wen Xiaoshan, deputy commander of the New First Army, and Li Tao, commander of the New Sixth Army, were captured alive. The 18th Army is the original 11th Division, the main force of Hu Lian's Corps, and Qiu Qingquan's Fifth Army is the elite backbone of the Jiang bandits on the southern front.Originally stationed in the Xinyang area of ​​Pinghan Road.In this Huaihai campaign, led by Huang Wei to reinforce Xuzhou from Wuhan, they were annihilated between the Huihe and Feihe rivers.

The fifth army (i.e., the fifth division) is the "ace" army of the Chiang bandit army.In this Huaihai campaign, they were besieged between Xiao County and Yongcheng.As of this month (January 10), it was completely wiped out, and Qiu Qingquan, the former commander of the Second Corps of the army, was also killed. So far, the Kuomintang's so-called "model army", "the best army in the world", "ace army", "the main force of the main force" and so on have become historical terms, and they are gone forever.When the Seventy-Fourth Division was wiped out, Chiang Kai-shek wept bitterly; when the New First Army and the New Sixth Army were wiped out and lost to the northeast, Chiang Kai-shek went crazy, shot the roof, and killed his pet dog.Today even the last two remaining "hard walnuts" were smashed to pieces.After the failure of the Huaihai Battle, don't blame the Chiang bandits for hypocritically clamoring for "peace".

The inscription on the monument reads: From November 6, 1948 to January 10 of the following year, the Chinese People's Liberation Army carried out the great Huaihai Campaign in Xuzhou as the center, starting from Haizhou in the east, ending in Shangqiu in the west, starting from Lincheng in the north, and reaching the Huaihe River in the south. . The Huaihai Campaign was launched on the occasion of the victory of the strategic decisive battle of the Chinese People's Liberation War.The main force of the Kuomintang’s counter-revolutionary army on the southern front gathered in the Xu, Hai, and Beng areas in an attempt to prevent the People’s Liberation Army from going south and shield Nanjing, the lair of reactionary rule, struggling frantically to save its dying fate.The two major field armies of East China and Central Plains and the local armed forces of East China, Central Plains, and North China totaled more than 600,000 people. Under the wise leadership of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and Chairman Mao Zedong, they joined forces in Huaihai and fought against the Central Plains. Withdrew the enemy force at Nianzhuangwei, followed by annihilating the heavy reinforcements from southern Henan in Shuangduiji, and then annihilating the main force of the enemy fleeing westward in Xuzhou in the Yongcheng area.In the face of powerful military strikes and political offensives, four and a half divisions of the enemy army revolted one after another.In this battle, the People's Liberation Army fought bloody battles for 65 days and nights, annihilating 5 enemy regiments, 22 armies, and 56 divisions, totaling more than 555,000 people.So far, the elite troops of Jiang bandits on the southern front have been wiped out, and the vast areas of Jiang, Huai, He, and Han have been liberated.This battle, together with the victories in the great strategic decisive battles of the Liaoshen Campaign and the Pingjin Campaign, fundamentally shook the reactionary rule of the Chiang dynasty under the support of US imperialism. Liberating all of China laid the foundation for victory. The victory of the Huaihai Campaign was a glorious embodiment of Comrade Mao Zedong's great military thought, and was the result of the hard work and bravery of the People's Liberation Army and the people.During the battle, all the commanders and fighters of the participating troops dared to fight big and tough battles. They were not afraid of enemy planes, artillery, tanks, and poisonous gas. Fighting for the fort, one after another, desperate, showing the heroic spirit of going forward and overwhelming all enemies.The liberated Jiang Jun soldiers immediately joined the ranks of the People's Liberation Army, accused the Kuomintang reactionaries of their crimes, turned their guns, and killed the enemy for meritorious service.The party and government organs and the general public in East China, Central Plains, and North China gave full support. They needed people and food, and 2 million militiamen and migrant workers braved the hail of guns and bullets, endured the wind, snow, hunger and cold, traveled thousands of miles, and moved with the army to fight. great contribution. During the Huaihai Campaign, many outstanding sons and daughters of the Chinese people sacrificed their precious lives for the cause of the people's liberation and made immortal feats.The lofty integrity of the martyrs has inspired the people of our country to advance bravely in the magnificent cause of building socialism and communism! The great deeds of the heroes compete with the sun and the moon! The revolutionary spirit of the martyrs will last forever!
