1948165438+16 October, the Huai Hai Campaign started, and the first stage was to destroy the Yellow Corps. Wei Guoqing, then commander of the North Jiangsu Corps of the East China Field Army, was ordered to lead the 2nd and 12 columns of the Central Plains Field Army and 1 1 column (the former1/column was active in Suqian area at this time), and cut off the 4th Yellow Corps from Longhai to south in Xin 'an Town (now Xinyi). When they arrived near Longhai Road on the morning of the 8th, the Yellow Corps had begun to contract to Xuzhou. The westward withdrawal of the Yellow Corps and the uprising of more than 20,000 people in the third appeasement area led by two generals, He Jifeng and Zhang Kexia, have greatly changed the battlefield situation. The Subei Corps was ordered to cross Longhai Road quickly and catch up along the south side of the Yellow Corps. Wei Guoqing, regardless of fatigue, lack of food and other difficulties, led troops to the southeast of Xuzhou. 12, 1 Sun Liangcheng, deputy commander of appeasement district and commander of 107 army, was caught up by the Kuomintang army 107 army in Dawangji area. The 26 1 division of this unit was annihilated on the way to the west and advanced from the southeast to Xuzhou.
At this time, Nianzhuang area was in the midst of a battle to panic in the Yellow Corps, and Chiang Kai-shek ordered Xuzhou Qiu Qingquan and the Corps to help the East on a large scale. Hua Ye is divided into three columns and stubbornly blocks in front of Xu Dong, so that the Subei Corps commands the 4 ~ 5 columns to advance to the eastern suburbs of Xuzhou and attack Qiu and Li Corps eastward. Wei Guoqing analyzed the battlefield situation and thought that only by hitting hard near the aid enemy and choosing its key parts, can the aid enemy feel a fatal threat and hold it off. Therefore, he commanded all columns to attack the aid enemy from 14 to 15, and Nakano1surrounded the enemy of Liu Ji, who was 5-6 kilometers away from the airport in the southern suburbs of xuzhou east, and fought fiercely with the defending army 12, shelling Xuzhou Airport. 12 vertically surrounds the southeast of Xuzhou14km pantang; Lu Zhongnan column stormed Lintong Mountain in the northeast of Pantang and fought fiercely with the enemy. 2 vertically inserted into Donghe Village and Greater Han Zhuang area east of Xuzhou, and fought fiercely with the enemy's 74th Army. This greatly shocked the enemies of the East Aid, forced them to adjust their forces, strengthen their flanks, and stopped the attack of the Northern Jiangsu Corps.
/kloc-in the morning of 0/4, Hua Ye asked Subei Corps to pay special attention to the fact that Qiu and Li Corps could not make a breakthrough from the front, and it was very likely to block the one-episode detour from Fangcun to Xu Dong in the southeast of the big Xu family, asking the enemy not to bypass the big Xu family. Wei Guoqing immediately made arrangements to put the main force 2 vertically in the position where the enemy might detour. As expected, the vanguard of the second longitudinal army and the vanguard of the enemy's seventy-fourth army met near Zhoulou, east and west of Pantang. The enemy was almost wiped out by the Second Longitudinal Army and retreated to Liutang, Zhaowa and Helou. On June 16, the 6th Division of the 2nd Longitudinal Division captured the King of Tang, wiped out nearly 1,000 troops of the 74th Army, opened the gap, took advantage of the victory and boldly plunged into Licun, which was only 1.5 km away from the 74th Army Headquarters, and defeated the enemy avant-garde regiment, with the striker pointing directly at Pantang Town. Accustomed to frontline command, Wei Guoqing immediately took the command post of the Corps into Baoguang Temple in the south of Pantang Town, where he was inexpressibly happy after receiving the above-mentioned report from the Second Longitudinal Division. Because Pantang is less than 8 kilometers away from Xuzhou Airport, the enemy's land traffic is cut off and only air transportation is left, which is the lifeline of hundreds of thousands of enemy officers and men in Xuzhou. Choosing this key position to attack will affect the whole body, effectively stall the enemy who aided the East and smash the enemy's circuitous plan.
On June165438+1October 17, the panic attack of the Yellow Corps entered a critical stage, and the head of the regiment, Hua Ye, placed the 3rd platoon under the command of the Subei Corps, which made Wei Guoqing attack again that night and copy the enemy's rear. He made arrangements for the current enemy situation, organized five columns to attack 2 1 at the same time, and after a night of fighting, he captured the strongholds such as the Confucian Temple, causing heavy losses to the enemy's 74th Army, 12 Army and 70th Army. 18 and 19 organized another attack the next day. Due to the limitation of terrain, it is difficult to deploy troops. Although they only captured the west and both sides of the city, they could not help the east by delaying the enemy. By the 20th, Hua Ye occupied Nianzhuang, and the Yellow Corps was basically wiped out. Qiu and Li Corps gave up their aid to the East and retreated to Xuzhou, while Subei Corps was ordered to transfer.
In the southeast of Xuzhou, the Subei Corps took active offensive measures to contain the aid to the enemy, making the enemy feel that they must stop the attack of the Subei Corps before they can help the East. Only the Qiu Corps was blocked by six divisions. Thus, it lightened the pressure of Xu Dong's frontal resistance forces and played an important role in ensuring that Hua Ye's main force annihilated the Yellow Corps.
After the Yellow Corps was annihilated, the enemy troops on the Huaihai battlefield were divided into three ways: Qiu Qingquan, Sun and Sun were in Xuzhou; Huang Wei Corps is in the direction of Mengcheng; Li Yannian and Liu Ruming Corps are marching in the direction of Bengbu. The Central Military Commission decided to shift the focus of the campaign to the downtown, and Nakano tried his best to annihilate stevie hoang Corps, seeking to annihilate Li Yannian and Liu Ruming Corps with Hua Ye. Hua Ye divided the troops into two groups, North and South, and the Subei Corps belonged to the South Group. Wei Guoqing left the 3rd, 12, and Lu Zhongnan outside the North Regiment, and led the 2nd, Nakano 1 1 to withdraw from the southeast battlefield of Xuzhou on the evening of 20th, and went south to join the war. On the 22nd, the 2nd vertical arrived at Shuizipu and Xisipo, north of Renqiao in the southeast of Su County, replacing the 9th vertical defense of Nakano, and the Corps moved to Li Jia in the southeast of Su County.
165438+1On October 24th, the Central Military Commission approved the plan to fight Huang Wei. Nakano surrounded the Huang Wei Corps in Shuangduiji area on 25th. Hua Ye in addition to the seventh, special column main force and nakano 1 1 column to nakano command, to participate in the panic in the corps, but also deployed eight columns in the south of Xuzhou, blocking the south of Qiu, Li and Sun San, and the rest went south. One of the two regiments, Liu Ruming, sought fighters. Before the main force arrived, the second and sixth columns under the command of Subei Corps stopped Li Yannian and Liu Ruming Corps to ensure that Nakano Corps surrounded stevie hoang Corps. Wei Guoqing made a blocking arrangement and asked the Second and Sixth Commanders to ensure that Li and Liu Corps were far away from the Corps.
Upon Wei Guoqing's arrival, he received a phone call from Nanpingji from Chen Geng, commander of the Fourth Field Army of Nakano, conveying the instructions of General Front Committee members Liu Bocheng and Chen Yi: resolutely stop Li and Liu Corps and keep them away from Huang Wei. Wei Guoqing said to Chen Geng: "Please tell the head of the General Front Committee to rest assured that even if two columns are eliminated, we will never take a step back." Chen Geng was satisfied with Wei Guoqing's attitude and said that he must report to Liu, Chen and Deng. Put the phone down, Wei Guoqing immediately mobilized, stepped up position construction, stepped up reconnaissance, and demanded to seize the favorable opportunity to take the initiative to attack and beat back the enemy's attack with a positive attitude. The second column and the sixth column are ready for a fierce battle. But to our surprise, Li Yannian Corps in Renqiao area in the northwest of Guzhen and Liu Ruming Corps in Guzhen area are afraid of Hua Ye's main force going south and dare not make a move. The contact between Li and Liu Corps and Huang Wei Corps in Shuangduiji was completely cut off by Subei Corps.
Hua Ye went south with the troops into the combat zone, and the two regiments of Li and Liu changed from sniper containment to on-off fighters. 1October 26th 165438+ Wei Guoqing commanded three columns, 2 and 6 respectively, 1 1. Together with the 10, 13 columns and the Jianghuai Military Region, we will advance to the areas on both sides of Guzhen. With the cooperation of 13, the troops of the Jianghuai Military Region annihilated the 238th Division of 12 Army on 25th. Chiang Kai-shek judged that the People's Liberation Army would hunt down Li and Liu Corps, and on 28th ordered Li and Liu Corps to retreat to Bengbu to defend the Huaihe River. Li Yannian and Liu Ruming discovered that Hua Ye's troops were going south, and they were afraid of being wiped out. They fled south as early as 26th. Hua Ye's Confederate army was chased by branches. Due to the river barrier, the bridge ships were destroyed by the enemy and it was difficult to pursue them. Only one enemy was wiped out, and the main forces of Li and Liu Corps fled to the south of Huaihe River.
Subei Corps took the lead in taking over the 9th longitudinal defense line of Nakano in the south, and stopped and pursued Li and Liu Corps side by side with the brothers, which expanded the distance between Li and Liu Corps from 25km to 75km, thus reducing the threat to Nakano's encirclement corps and creating favorable conditions for the next operation.
Third, actively blocking and attacking will annihilate Du's clique.
After the regiment was besieged, Chiang Kai-shek decided to lead a corps of Qiu, Li and Sun San to break through, bypass Yongcheng south, solve the siege of the corps, and then flee south together and retreat to the south of the Yangtze River. In this regard, the Central Military Commission has long foreseen that Hua Ye made emergency arrangements. According to Hua Ye's deployment, Wei Guoqing ordered the 2nd and 1 1 to assemble and stand by, and left six others in the downtown to monitor the enemy who helped Bengbu to the north.
65438+February 1 day, Hua Ye called Wei Guoqing and told Du Tuan that he had given up Xuzhou's westward escape, demanding that he immediately lead the Subei Corps to advance to the northwest, stop the fleeing enemy, and stop the enemy to win. The task was quickly issued and the troops acted quickly. The officers and men braved the howling cold wind, forgot to eat and sleep, and traveled day and night. Although the interception task was changeable, he finally led a delegation to Muzhuang in the southeast of Yongcheng East Congress Village on the evening of the 4th. At this time, all armies will camp out of Du Group on the same day. The tasks entrusted by General Hua Ye to Subei Corps are: commanding the 2nd, 8th, 1 1 to attack from southwest to northeast, annihilating the enemy on the front line of Chenguanzhuang, arranging deep sniper positions, and resolutely preventing the enemy from fleeing south. Wei Guoqing made specific arrangements: he lived on the right and took over from Chen Guanzhuang on the evening of 5th to defend Lao Wei Kiln and Wangzhuang. This is the assault point for Du Group to break through to the south. Stay on the left, relying on the strongholds in Wang Huayuan and Cui Zhuang, west of Chen Guanzhuang captured on the 5th, to attack the enemies of Liu Ji, Liu Lou and Guo Wo. 1 1 built a deep sniper position on the second line.
On February 6, 65438, the left wing fought fiercely. Seeing that the encirclement was gradually compressed, Du was unwilling to wait and die. On the 6th, it was decided that Qiu, Li and Sun San would break through and escape to the southwest, northeast and northwest respectively. After a guard change in the middle, Qiu and Li Corps did not move. Only Sun led 4 1 and 47 troops to break through to the southwest that night and broke into the 8th longitudinal position. In the early morning of the 7th, the commanders and fighters bravely intercepted and annihilated most of the enemies in Huangwafang area, and the remaining enemies who escaped were encircled by local armed forces. The collapse of Sun Corps greatly shook the morale of Du Group.
After Sun's regiment failed to break through, Du Group adjusted its deployment, mobilized planes and artillery to cover it, and launched a more violent assault to the south. Chief Hua Ye pointed out: The vertical direction is the focus of the enemy's sudden attack. No matter how many enemies come, we should strengthen our preparations, loyal opposition, which is extremely important for adowa Duji regiment and Huang Wei corps. Wei Guoqing felt a great responsibility, and immediately studied with Girod, Ji Pengfei and Tan Jian, deputy political commissar of the Corps, and put forward specific requirements for the deployment of troops, the composition of positions, the concentration of artillery in the main direction, and seizing the favorable opportunity to counterattack. Wei Guoqing immediately came to the 2nd longitudinal position for inspection. Actively implement the instructions of the field division and the Corps, and take strict precautions. Especially for Guo Lou, not only a large number of support points and criss-crossing trenches and traffic trenches formed a solid circular position, but also concentrated three regiments and dozens of artillery pieces, organized two powerful firepower groups, mastered the reserve team, and made full preparations to meet the enemy. Wei Guoqing went to the 8th longitudinal position again and saw that their protection was also very strict. The newly transferred Guangdong-Guangxi column and Ye Si secret service team have entered the designated area to build a second line of defense, firmly blocking the way for the enemy to break through and flee south. These strict protections made Wei Guoqing feel much more at ease.
At this time, the Huaihai battlefield was freezing, Du Group was short of clothes and food, eager to break through, and its offensive continued to strengthen. Vertical and vertical frontal fighting is becoming more and more fierce. In Guolou, the enemy attacked three times in a row with the strength of 1 regiment, all of which were repelled. /kloc-on June 38, 2003, Guolou, the key point of the 2 nd longitudinal defender, became a prominent part of being attacked on three sides because its right neighbor Li Lou fell. The enemy increased the attack force to two regiments in an attempt to capture Guo Lou in one fell swoop, and fought from afternoon to dusk, and was repelled by 2 vertical and 6 divisions. At this moment, Wei Guoqing estimates that the enemy will not give up, and the defenders in the direction of Guo Lou will be strengthened, allowing the Fourth Division 12 regiment to enter Guo Lou and stand by. 14, the enemy increased the attack force to three regiments, and stormed Guolou from the east, northeast and northwest directions at the same time. Because the second column strengthened its defense, the enemy paid great efforts and costs. As soon as he reached the front line in Abatis, he was defeated by the brave counterattack of the Sixth Division. The left wing was also brave and tenacious, repelling Liu Ji's enemies, recovering the Wang Garden occupied by the enemy and capturing Liu Lou. Until the Huangwei Corps was annihilated on June 5438+05, the enemy was still blocked by me, and the dream of joining forces between Duji Corps and Huangwei Corps was completely shattered. During the 20-day battlefield break from 12 to 16, Wei Guoqing made preparations for the general attack. Among them, night cover was used to carry out trench operations, and the attack position was pushed to about 50 meters in front of the enemy.
