In 1949, when ** was preparing for the Taiyuan Battle on the front line, he learned that General Zheng Weishan led his troops to come, and he personally came to the village to greet him, regardless of his condition. Although some staff persuaded him to go back to the room first, *** waved his hand and said, "I've been waiting for more than ten years, and I still care about this moment?"When a team of horses galloped from far and near, ** smiled and said, "It's coming!."Without waiting for General Zheng Weishan to get off the horse, ** stepped forward: "Zheng Weishan, long time no see!."Zheng Weishan also hurriedly dismounted, hugged *** tightly and asked him about his physical condition. The two hadn't seen each other for many years and had a very pleasant conversation. ** I have heard of Zheng Weishan's achievements on the liberation battlefield: "In the Battle of Shijiazhuang, you are the main attacker or the commander of the garrison.
You've all been through the city siege and management, and this time it will come in handy ......Zheng Weishan was puzzled by the situation in Taiyuan City. ** Then he introduced the situation of Taiyuan City to Zheng Weishan, and advised: This Taiyuan Battle concentrated 9 armies of the three main forces in North China under the city, which was a war and a competition. Your 63rd Army must not lag behind, and must play majestic. Now that you have come back alive from the Hexi Corridor, you are the only one who will lead the troops to fight in North China. I hope that there is a chance for you to take your troops back to Lanzhou, fight to Ningxia, kill back to Qilian Mountain, and eliminate those horse bandits ....... After Zheng Weishan heard the old chief's words, he also said in a heavy tone: "Do you think of the Western Route Army again?"
** nodded and continued: "Because of my health, Mr. Peng will come to Taiyuan to summarize the engineering experience and troops, so as to prepare for the next attack on Lanzhou." You have to be mentally prepared, I plan to recommend you to him, go back to the northwest, and destroy the eight lambs of the horse bandit army.

On March 17, with the approval of the Military Commission of the Communist Party of China, the Taiyuan Front Committee was established to lead this organ. However, due to ***'s serious illness, *** asked *** to assist *** in commanding the Taiyuan operation.
On March 28, ** arrived in Taiyuan and visited *** in person, and after *** approved, they decided to set the time of the attack on April 20. At the same time, Zheng Weishan's 63rd Army received the task: to attack Taiyuan from the southeast. General Zheng Weishan immediately convened a meeting to discuss the battle plan, and decided to first concentrate his forces to seize the southeast fortress Shuangta Temple, and then from the Shouyi Gate and the adobe in the southeast corner of the city, and then directly penetrate the Kuomintang Shanxi Province ** located in the former Governor's Mansion through Zhonggu Street. After the start of the operation, Zheng Weishan commanded the troops to start implementation as planned, and despite the enemy's frantic resistance, under the command of General Zheng Weishan, they successfully overcame various difficulties and successfully completed the tasks assigned by their superiors. During the campaign, ** and *** also followed the situation of the various units at the command post.
When talking about the attack and defense of the city wall, ** said with confidence: "As long as Zheng Weishan goes up, we can rest assured!."* Ask: "Are you so sure?"."I know him!* replied. However, General Zheng Weishan did not live up to the trust he placed in him and successfully commanded the troops to attack the ...... city wall. The Battle of Taiyuan lasted more than six months and ended on April 24, 1949. Six days after the liberation of Taiyuan, the Kuomintang defenders in Datong put down ** and accepted the peaceful reorganization, and the entire territory of Shanxi was liberated. After the end of the war, Zheng Weishan led the 63rd Army to garrison the Taigu and Qixian areas south of Taiyuan City to rest and prepare for the future advance to the northwest. One day, Zheng Weishan received a notice from *** inviting him to a banquet and dinner with Mr. Peng.
After hearing the notice, Zheng Weishan also deliberately tidied up his outfit and put on a new military uniform to go to the banquet. After arriving at the banquet site, Zheng Weishan found that his old comrades-in-arms were also present, so they chatted happily. Soon, ** and *** arrived together, and ** introduced ***: "This is what I said about Comrade Zheng Weishan!."* looked at Zheng Weishan and nodded: "We met during the Long March, why are you still so thin?"Zheng Weishan heard Mr. Peng's words and explained: "I eat a lot, but I don't grow meat." Then he said, "Some people eat to grow their bellies, and some people eat to strengthen their brains." No wonder you fought so shrewdly, it turns out that everything you eat grows in your skull. Everyone laughed when they heard Mr. Peng's words.
The banquet was carried out in the midst of talking and laughing, and ** also introduced *** to Zheng Weishan, hoping that he could lead his troops back to the northwest and eliminate the horse bandit army. * asked: "The battles you fought in the past are remarkable. If you were asked to attack a mountain city with high mountains on three sides and bad water on the other, would you dare?Zheng Weishan replied without hesitation: "Mr. Peng, where you point, I will fight!."After hearing this, he smiled and said: "Refreshing, today I will borrow Comrade ***'s wine and toast you!."After the two toasted, ** said to Zheng Weishan: "I also toast you with a glass of wine!."The others hurriedly reminded: "Mr. Xu, you just happen to be **, or replace the bar with tea." He waved his hand: "I haven't drunk it for a long time, today, I salute Comrade Weishan with a glass."
Zheng Weishan said: "Mr. Xu, how can I let you drink. You drink tea, I drink. Said solemnly: "Persuade the monarch to drink a glass of wine to comfort the loyal souls of the horse bandits." After saying that, he drank it all. Zheng Weishan's heart was hot, and he drank a few glasses of wine in a row, understanding the intention of *** in his heart, and also thinking of his comrades who died on the battlefield. After the banquet, Zheng Weishan waited, ready to follow Mr. Peng to fight in the northwest. In fact, as early as the day after the end of the Taiyuan Campaign, that is, on April 25, 1949, **telephone*** Zhou Shidi, **and informed *** that the 18th and 19th Corps were reassigned to the First Field Army, and then the action was reorganized and reorganized and supplied to the command area of Comrade ***.
After the reorganization and rest of the troops, Zheng Weishan, under the command of ***, led his troops to set off to the northwest region.
