On November 5, 1948, the day before the Huaihai Battle began, Song Shilun, as the commander of the column, was captured by the Kuomintang and taken to the enemy camp, which was undoubtedly harmful to the current situation. When Song Shilun was taken to interrogate by the enemy, he spoke bluntly and reported his name, thinking that Song Shilun, who was nine deaths this time, returned to our army's garrison with a battalion of enemy troops that night.
What's going on here, and how did Song Shilun turn the danger into a disaster?
Don't try to run away, shoot and don't killOn November 5, 1948, Song Shilun took four guards to the north bank of the canal in a jeepOn the opposite side of the river bank is where the enemy troops are stationed, Song Shilun and several people carefully took out the battle map and began to compare the scene environment, carefully and cautiously observing the situation on the opposite bank.
After some investigation, Song Shilun found out the terrain characteristics of the nearby area, and the group drove back to the station to make more detailed combat arrangements againThese are all Xi that Song Shilun has cultivated in many years of warfare, just as the so-called knowing oneself and knowing that the other side can survive a hundred battles, Song Shilun regards this as the standard for his own combat deployment.
When Song Shilun was still looking at the topographic map in his hand in the car, there were a few gunshots outside the car, and the driver, who realized that the situation was wrong, also began to find a way to avoid the attack, but after all, the route was not very familiar, and he was forced to stop again by the enemy before he could run far
Song Shilun couldn't help but be stunned for a moment when he saw the Kuomintang troops attacking in front and rear, how did the enemy find out, and even if they did, how could they catch up with him in such a short time?
Song Shilun understood that the urgent need was to think of a countermeasure, and after his observation, he found that the best outcome at present was to fight to the death with the enemy when the enemy rushed up, and he had to pull a few pads to die
But that's not a wise thing to doThe battle was about to break out, and the soldiers of the army who had lost their generals would inevitably panic, so Song Shilun had to take one step at a time, and he asked the guards not to resist first, depending on the situation. In this way, the enemy brought Song Shilun and several people back to the camp, and the noisy sound of the group attracted the attention of Wang Shijiang, the commander of the 3rd Battalion of the 111th Regiment.
He walked out of the tent and came to several people and asked, ".Who are you and what are you doing here?Song Shilun and the others deliberately changed into civilian clothes when they came out, which gave them more protection to a certain extentJust as Song Shilun was about to fool the past, Wang Shijiang spoke again: ".Your identity has been exposed, it's best to be honest, and now the only one who dares to drive around is the PLA
After hearing the other party's words, Song Shilun stopped thinking in his heart, but he still rushed to reply before the guard could speak: ".We are scouts。"Wang Shijiang didn't say anything more to have them detained separately for interrogation."I'll judge this man myself, so go out of here
Wang Shijiang entered the camp where Song Shilun was interrogated and retreated from the other Kuomintang soldiers, with an elegant temperament, said lightly: ".I see that your bearing is different from that of several others, so you should be honest
Song Shilun replied with mixed truths: ".I am Song Shilun, commander of the 10th Corps of the East China Field Army of the People's Liberation Army, Huang Baitao is now too busy to take care of himself, and he is already at the end of his crossbow
On the way back to the camp when Song Shilun and several people were escorted, he didn't give up observation, he didn't think about how he was discovered, and now he finally reactedIt turned out that it was not the other party that discovered them, but that they mistakenly broke into the enemy's defensive area
I thought it was probably because it was already dark when I went back, and the driver didn't see the road clearly, and he was supposed to go back to his position, so he drove to the enemy's position。This is simply a sheep in the mouth of a tiger, and he sent it to the door, but now that he is in the enemy camp, how can he save himself?
You are Song Shilun of the 10th column？Just when Song Shilun was still racking his brains to think of a countermeasure, Wang Shijiang was a little uneasy, and he asked Song Shilun's identity again suspiciously, as if he wanted to determine something.
I am Song Shilun...Song Shilun wanted to continue the persuasion in front of himAfter all, the People's Liberation Army is now pressuring, on the other hand, the current momentum of the Kuomintang army is long gone, and among these people, there are some soldiers who are still waiting, if they can persuade the other side to surrender without a knife or a shot, this is definitely a benefit to our soldiers
But he never thought that the other party suddenly got up and gave a standard military salute to him, and this time even Song Shilun, who had experienced a hundred battles and was well-informed, didn't know why he got up.
Commander Song has long admired your name, I am our own person, an underground party member who has been lurking in the Kuomintang for ten years。Wang Shijiang said while untying the rope on Song Shilun's body, the transformation was too sudden, Song Shilun did not dare to take it lightly, the most taboo on both sides is to underestimate the enemy, he determined that Wang Shijiang was his own person after several inquiries, and then he was relieved.
The general trend of the Kuomintang has gone, and there is no need for us to follow them to death。Wang Shijiang expressed his attitude in one sentenceAfter hearing this, several of his henchmen expressed their willingness to follow Wang Shijiang to advance and retreat, and for those who were still hesitant, Wang Shijiang did not dare to relax his vigilance, and ordered someone to raise him
The slightest omission in the face of major events may lead to the final defeat, and the mobilization work proceeded very smoothly, thanks to Wang Shijiang's usual little "hints."
Wang Shijiang secretly joined the Communist Party in 1938, but he did not reveal his identity, he continued to stay in the Kuomintang according to the organization's arrangement, and launched timely rebellion activities against **, and strive to minimize the confrontation between the enemy and us.
Before Song Shilun arrived at the battle site of the Huaihai Campaign, Wang Shijiang had already received a secret mission from his superiorsOn October 18, 1948, the higher authorities asked Wang Shijiang to lead the first uprising at the necessary moment, and it was necessary to cooperate with the East China Field Army to ensure the smooth progress of the campaign
Therefore, Wang Shijiang secretly planned the uprising early on, and on weekdays, he would also openly and secretly reveal to his henchmen the advantages of the PLA troops and the unfavorable climate of the Kuomintang. Neither of them expected that the two would meet in this way, but it would be more convenient for him to revolt and ensure that the mission was completed.
The two sides have given their own battle plans and arrangements, and after having more accurate information, Song Shilun has become more confident in this battleThat night, after the two sides decided on the battle plan, Wang Shijiang and other henchmen secretly escorted Song Shilun and several people to the PLA garrison
In the early morning of the next day, the Battle of Huaihai officially began, and after Wang Shijiang sent the signal agreed by the two, Song Shilun set off with the teamDue to Wang Shijiang's "temporary defection", a whole battalion of troops rebelled and withdrew from the Zaozhuang area, and the remaining forces were isolated and helpless, and Hanzhuang was soon taken
When Song Shilun returned to the army, the director of the Political Department was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, and he was afraid of danger at the beginning, and everyone said that they were unwilling to let Song Shilun go, but no one could dissuade him, fortunately he met his own comrades this time, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable.
Han Zhuang's quick takedown was something that Huang Baitao had never expected, so the unguarded ** was suddenly attackedHuang Baitao's corps was trapped in Nianzhuang to death, and finally defeated, and this major problem of the People's Liberation Army was finally eliminated
Thanks to Comrade Wang Shijiang who I met at the beginning, otherwise I might have been "glorious" in the Huaihai Campaign。After the liberation, Song Shilun sometimes reminisced about the years with his old comrades-in-armsWhenever the Huaihai Battle is mentioned, Song Shilun will think of Wang Shijiang who saved him and the line of life and death
Just as Song Shilun said, fortunately he met Wang Shijiang, and since then, Wang Shijiang has devoted all his energy to the founding of New China in the capacity of our party. Later, he became the commander of the Mudanjiang Military Division, and enjoyed his old age after his retirement.
Who has not died since ancient times?From the time when I joined the army and fought a bloody battle with the Japanese invaders after the Lugou Bridge Incident, to the ten years when I secretly joined the Communist Party to lurk in the enemy camp, to this day, I have always been proud of my original choice。Wang Shijiang also often mentions his past, mentioning the bloody battles with the soldiers, and they all sigh about the past.
The founding of New China is inseparable from these heroic predecessors who lived cautiously in the enemy camp, for the ultimate victory, they endured humiliation and burdens, and lived a day of licking blood on the tip of a knife, but fortunately, in the end, the light shrouded the earth, and their efforts were rewarded with the best.
