General Liu Xuan and the Korean War
195 1 year, Liu Xuan participated in the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, and served as deputy political commissar, political commissar and acting political commissar of the Volunteer Army 12/division 3/kloc-0.
In the Battle of Shangganling, when 12 Army participated in the war, it was decided to pull up the trump card 9 1 regiment of 12 Army first. 12 army commander Ceng Shaoshan called 3 1 division political commissar Liu Xuan: "9 1 regiment is the first unit of our 45th division to participate in the war. In order to grasp the situation and strengthen the command of the group, you personally bring 9 1 group. "
When Liu Xuan mobilized the 9 1 regiment, he said, "Once the 597.9 highland falls, Vu Thang Mountain will be surrounded by dangers, and the enemy will be condescending, making it impossible for us to gain a foothold in the vast Pingkang area, and the whole Korean war situation will undergo serious changes. You can't think of yourself as an ordinary company when you fight in a friendly position. You are a team of 12 army. You should have a good relationship with the 45th Division and learn from your brothers with an open mind. You are only allowed to play well, not to be bad. "
We didn't use the troops of the 44th Division from beginning to end. The determination of the army is: in the basic position, temporarily take the means of sticking to the tunnel struggle, stop the enemy's expansion, buy time, readjust the operational deployment and prepare for a decisive counterattack. In view of the serious attrition of the 45th Division, the Army decided to take five companies of the 86th Regiment of the 29th Division and the second echelon battalion as the first-line defense force, and put them into the 597.9 highland for decisive counterattack. Five companies of the 87th Regiment of the 29th Division also participated in the 537.7 Beishan Operation. In addition to the internal adjustment of 15 Army, the Corps also transferred two regiments, namely, 3 12 Army Division and 34 Division, to fight in our army. The 9 1 regiment is the 597.9 highland reserve, and the 92 nd and 93 rd regiments are the second echelon of the army. At that time, before 3 1 division commander Wu Zhong arrived, division political commissar Liu Xuan and deputy division commander Changling Li came to the war. Liu Xuan is my old subordinate. He was a regimental political commissar of the Taihang Military Region. Their arrival gave us great support. In addition, we also transferred more than 1200 soldiers from military organs and directly affiliated detachments, supplementing 13 companies for the 45th Division. Military hospitals and art troupes sent people to the front.
The predecessor of the 9 1 regiment was the Chinese Red Army of Workers and Peasants 1 regiment, and the 0 th Division 1 regiment. 3 1 division was once in 1 1 regiment, but every fierce battle, 9 1 regiment is bound to participate. 3 1 division was originally the trump card of 1 1 army, but it is still the main division after being incorporated into 12 army.
In the second stage of the fifth campaign, the 9 1 regiment was the deepest regiment among the eleven armies of the Volunteers. Cut off by the enemy, more than 90 kilometers away from the front of our army. The head of the regiment took the bull by the horns and made a detour. After seven days without food, he carried dozens of wounded people on his back, found a gap in the enemy's encirclement, and captured more than 100 prisoners.
1June, 952, 9 1 regiment fought repeatedly with the 2nd and 7th regiments of the 6th Division of South Korea in the defense of the unknown highland in Guandaili, and held the tunnel for ten days and nights, annihilating the enemy 1600 people. The 9 1 regiment met a tank company of the 40th division of the United States in Gudrun, Guandeli. After three hours of fighting, four enemy tanks were destroyed, two were wounded and 1 was captured. 15 Army famous general Zhang Xianyang, with strong combat capability. He also praised: "The 9 1 regiment can fight, and the wounded were carried on stretchers and still clung to guns, saying that they would fight again when they came back from their injuries."
A company of 9 1 Regiment and a company of 86th Regiment of 15 Army stubbornly resisted at 597.9 highland, repelled enemy attacks for more than 40 times, held their ground and annihilated 1500 people.
3 1 Division 92nd and 93rd Regiments also participated in the Battle of Shangganling. The soldiers of the 92nd Regiment wrapped grenades around their waists with dry food bags, which was not enough. They took off their pants, tied their trouser legs, stuffed grenades and put them around their necks. The 93rd Regiment is the original "Zhu De Guard Regiment", which made outstanding achievements in the defense of Huangyadong. 7 companies of 92 regiment, 2 battalions of 93 regiment, and 106 regiment resumed and consolidated the 537.7 Beishan water surface position, killing and injuring more than 7,000 prisoners.
Qin Jiwei later commented: "The 9 1 regiment fought back, held and consolidated the 597.9 highland, and made the greatest effort. The 92 nd and 93 rd Regiments counterattacked the 537.7 Beishan and regained the water position, which changed the struggle situation of the 537.7 Beishan from passive to active. The 92nd Regiment played beautifully and resumed its position as soon as it came. Through the efforts of the 93rd Regiment and the 106 Regiment, the main positions were controlled. It can be said that the battle is over without losing an inch of land. 12 army's participation in the war is the guarantee for winning the battle of shangganling. 12 army has the most intense and arduous battle, and the second echelon of the army has been connected. The enemy transferred three regiments from the 9th Division of South Korea, and the 2nd Army of South Korea concentrated its last strength and joined the airborne187th Regiment, Ethiopian Battalion and Colombian Battalion in the battle. 597.9 The battle in the highlands developed into a decisive battle stage. At this critical moment, with the arrival of Deputy Commander Li Desheng, the 365 and 438+0 divisions went into battle, further enhancing our confidence in winning the battle! " Liu Xuan talked about the fighting years of 3 1 Division in Shangganling, especially about Li Desheng's command. "Deputy Commander Li is a very comprehensive commander, who fights slowly and steadily and pays attention to tactics; Just contact the masses. Anyone can talk to him. Fighting, training ... "
