In the Huaihai Campaign, the Kuomintang and the Communist Party invested 6.5438+0.4 million troops in a decisive battle on the great plain centered on Xuzhou. There are 300,000 casualties on both sides, and the outcome has been decided? The national army lost 550,000 elites, while the PLA increased a large number of PLA after paying heavy casualties, and the actual expansion was more than 6,543,800.
In the Huaihai Campaign, the weakest army of the People's Liberation Army was Nakano; The most elite corps of the national army is a large collection of all the elites of the civil engineering department? Huang Wei Corps. And these two armies met on the battlefield, which made Nakano a number of ares-like stars.
The most fierce battle to annihilate stevie hoang Corps' Double Piles is the Battle of Dawangzhuang! This is the most tragic scene of Huaihai battlefield, and it is a real meat grinder. Within 24 hours, all the seven main regiments of the Kuomintang and the Communist Party were assembled.
As the direct branch of the national army, the strongest regiment of 18 Army should be 1 18 Division 33. During the Battle of Dawangzhuang, the 33rd Regiment was unlucky, but it met the 58th Regiment and the 60th Regiment of the 7th Vertical in Hua Ye. These two regiments have just supplemented the American machinery and equipment of the Yellow Corps, and a large number of liberation fighters have joined, with sufficient personnel and more than 3,000 troops.
What Hua Ye is good at is artillery tactics. When light and heavy artillery are greeted, the national morale is greatly boosted, and the battle is solved with a charge! However, the 33rd Regiment is an exception. As early as the Battle of South Malaysia, Hu Lian took the reorganization of 1 1 division, held his ground with the mother fort, and survived under the cover of heavy rain. This time, the 33rd Regiment withstood the artillery fire and systematically withstood the charge of the PLA.
15 minutes before the end of artillery coverage, the 58th and 60th regiments were attacked from both sides. After two hours of fighting, the 33rd Regiment ran a company, and the rest were wiped out. Our side also suffered heavy casualties, and the 59th Regiment took over the defense of Dawangzhuang.
At 0 o'clock that night, 18 Army 1 18 Division 1 Battalion was killed under the cover of gunfire. Hundreds of artillery pieces and thousands of shells lit up the sky of Dawangzhuang and burned the land of Dawangzhuang. The 59th Regiment suffered heavy casualties. Under the tenacious fighting, the attacking troops of 1 18 Division were in a state of anxiety.
If you don't hold on to Dawangzhuang, you can't open the road to Shuangduiji. After careful consideration, Nakano sent 6 vertical 46 regiments to support 7 vertical 59 regiments in Hua Ye. This kind of fighting in which two field armies and two columns participated was extremely rare in the war of liberation.
The next morning, under the cover of national artillery fire and the charge of armored forces, plus two infantry regiments, two hours later, the 59th Regiment gave in and had to retreat. The national army finally took control of Dawangzhuang.
Before the national army gained a foothold, it was immediately besieged by four regiments of the People's Liberation Army. These four regiments are the 6th and 46th regiments of Nakano and the 7th, 58th, 59th and 60th regiments of Hua Ye.
After the battle, there was no complete fortification in the whole Dawangzhuang, shrapnel was everywhere, bodies were everywhere, and the blood in the trench could soak the trouser legs.
After the battle in Dawangzhuang, Wong Tze Wah, the 23rd division commander of the 85th Army who witnessed all this in Xiaowangzhuang, was deeply impressed by the tenacious fighting capacity of the PLA and led his troops to surrender.
How much Internet was used in the Battle of Dawangzhuang? Up to now, there is no accurate figure. The 33rd Regiment of the National Army 1 18 Division deserves to be called the Tiger Regiment. All the skirmishers from the formed units to the supplementary units were killed, leaving only the head! Our 59th Regiment even lost its head, leaving only two seriously injured battalion commanders, while the 46th Regiment, the 58th Regiment and the 60th Regiment all suffered casualties and failed to participate in the follow-up battle.
In this battle, those soldiers who died in the battlefield for the cause of people's liberation are called God of War! However, most of them didn't even leave their names. We can only remember the column commanders and teachers who commanded them as the only memory of them.
At that time, Wang Jinshan, commander of the 6th column of Nakano, was the best at fighting tough battles. The slogan of this column is "burning grass", and everyone has the consciousness of death. Later, this column was reorganized into the 25th Army.
The commander of Hua Ye Seventh Vertical is Lieutenant General Cheng Jun .. In the battle to destroy the Yellow River, he participated in the Xu Dong blocking war and went south to participate in the Battle of Shuangduiji, and became the main force again. In a bloody battle, Wangzhuang captured the Jiangudui and completely defeated the 18 army. Throughout the Huai Hai campaign, the seven vertical armies wiped out 20,000 enemies, more than their own troops. Later, the seventh column was reorganized into the 25th Army.
Three regiments from the 20th Division of Hua Ye participated in the war. Later, the 20th Division became the 74th Division of the 25th Army, with Zhang Huai as the important division commander and Deng Qinghe as the political commissar (the original 20th Division was composed of three regiments: 220, 22 1 and 222).
This was the worst battle in the Huai Hai Campaign. Thousands of PLA soldiers who died in battle were all war gods!
