General Su Yu fought all his life, and every time he encountered the enemy, he could turn the tide and turn things around: however, the Tangbu distress that occurred in 1947 was probably an unforgettable experience in his life. In this battle, not only Su Yu's own headquarters was almost attacked by the enemy's targeted air raids, but even the hiding place of the ** couple was exposed to the attack range of the Kuomintang Air Force. You must know that the address of our army's command post was a military secret during the confrontation on the battlefield, and how did the Kuomintang Air Force know about this situation?How did Su Yu lead the army out of danger?If you are interested in this topic, please also help "press and hold the like button for 2 seconds" to give a strong like.

In May 1947, Chiang Kai-shek, who was anxious to win the civil war, changed the situation of troop deployment throughout the country due to the increasing embarrassment of troops: from an all-out attack on the liberated areas to a key offensive on the two liberated areas of "northern Shaanxi" and "Shandong". In the liberated area of northern Shaanxi, Hu Zongnan mobilized a total of 230,000 troops to rush on 20,000 soldiers of our armyAnd in the liberated area of Shandong,The 74th Division, the 83rd Division, the 19th Brigade and the 57th Regiment mobilized by Gu Zhutong and Zhang Lingfu participated in the battle, with a total of 450,000 people participating in the battle.
The pressure brought to our army by the Kuomintang's military operation was not only due to its powerful force offensive, but also to the fact that it had learned the military experience of the Laiwu Battle that broke out in February 1947. This military deployment was personally presided over by Chiang Kai-shek's confidant Gu Zhutong, and before the military action, Gu Zhutong clearly stated:"** It is necessary to learn the lessons of the previous Laiwu and other battles when the division of troops advanced, and the lone army was encircled and annihilated, and required all corps to hold each other together and advance in unison. ”After the consent of Chiang Kai-shek, Gu Zhu was the same generalZhang Lingfu reorganized the 74th Division, Hu Lian reorganized the 11th Division, and Qiu Qingquan reorganized the 5th ArmySeparately incorporatedTang Enbo, Wang Jingjiu, Ou ZhenAmong the corps led by the three of them, they marched together to fight against Huaye.
And the Kuomintang's military deployment also brought great pressure to Huaye at that time:In order to temporarily avoid the enemy's front, Huaye had to plan to withdraw to the line of Yimeng Mountain in the liberated area of Shandong-- However, if the enemy persists in carrying out the principle of military operations that advance at the same time, it will not only be difficult for our army to fight a war of annihilation fought by division and encirclement like Laiwu, but the situation will become more and more dangerous under the enemy's encirclement like an iron bucket. Just when the East China Field Army was undecided, an urgent telegram came from the Military Commission"The enemy army is dense and difficult to fight, so it is patient and waiting, and it is very well handled. As long as you have patience, there is always a chance to destroy the enemy. ”And the day after the first urgent telegram was sent, the Military Commission added another telegram, emphasizing:Don't be in a hurry, don't divide your troops, as long as our main forces are in hand, it will still be an opportunity to annihilate the enemy. And this gave Huaye great encouragement at that time.
Su Yu recognized the judgment of the Military Commission at that time, because after many years of fighting with the Kuomintang army, he knew that although he could become a monolith for a while due to the orders of his superiors and common interests, due to the lack of faith in the troops, the members of the army were mixed, so he could insist on holding together for a while, but he could not insist on holding together for a lifetime. As long as the enemy is paralyzed and careless, then our army still has a chance to annihilate the enemy and win - at that time, ** was leading the People's Liberation Army in northern Shaanxi and Hu Zongnan in circles, and ** and Su Yu also led Huaye and the enemy to "play the dragon lantern" in the area of Yimeng Mountain. Su Yu thinks,As long as our army engages with the enemy for a long time in Yimeng Mountain, then some of the enemy's fat men will become thin men, and thin men will become skinny and bone-covered, and it will be much easier to annihilate the enemy army when the enemy's advance is not adjusted.
In fact, just as Su Yu expected, not long after the battle with the enemy army in Yimeng Mountain, some Kuomintang troops who had not suffered from fighting in the mountains gradually showed signs of low morale and sluggish marching. However, there are also some Kuomintang troops who see that their friendly troops can't walk, and they seem to be more and more angry: the 7th Army and the 48th Division in Tang Enbo's corps are one of the "proud soldiers", these two troops originally came from Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi, the warlords of the Gui lineage, and they are all "trump cards" in the Gui line, and they have also won some battles before, and when they see that the friendly troops can't walk, they naturally don't take the fellow Kuomintang troops in their eyesSo with the mentality of "grabbing credit", the lone army went deep into the front line of Yishui, and became the "prominent part" in the combat unit known as "going hand in hand".
Su Yu was overjoyed to see that the enemy had already shown signs of dividing his troops, so he was overjoyed and ordered Hua Ye to secretly sneak to the Yishui area and deal a severe blow to the 7th Army and the 48th Division of the Gui system, although it was not possible to guarantee the complete destruction of Tang Enbo's corpsHowever, the defeat of these two strong troops in the Tang Enbo Corps was enough to make the Tang Enbo Corps suffer a lot of vitality, and they did not dare to underestimate our army.
But just as Hua Ye was about to gear up and do a big job, a huge crisis suddenly came, changing the original battle plan of ** and Su Yu.
On April 3, 1947, Su Yu and a group of leading groups of the Shandong Liberated Area arrived at the front-line command post in Zhoucun, Tangbu Town, near YishuiFor a time, there was artillery fire near the command post, and the bombs dropped by the planes rained down, which greatly shocked a group of cadres such as ** and Su Yu.
*, Su Yu and the two are veterans of a hundred battles in our party, they have long been put aside for life and death, a sudden air raid may be nothing to them, but more terrible than this air raid is:It is very likely that the enemy knows the direction of our troops' movements, which is why they bomb the headquarters with such precision!This is an important reason for the shock of ** and Su Yu, you must know that the military operation to annihilate the ** 7th Army and the 48th Division is completely kept secret, and during the entire march**, Su Yu not only required the marching personnel to "march day and night, with a human rank, and a horse to pick up the bridle", but also that the military action orders that could be conveyed with passwords and pen and paper would never be transmitted by radio.
So, ** and Su Yu ordered a strict investigation of the intelligence communication in the army at that time to see what caused the leak. In the end, the intelligence officers in the East China Field Army at that time gave two judgments - according to the latest intelligenceThe Kuomintang has recently imported a batch of American-style radio decipherment equipment, and the leakage of our army's whereabouts may be caused by the use of American-style radio to decipherAnother possibility is that there are spies within our army.
Although at that time, **, Su Yu and others could not be sure which situation led to the exposure of our army's whereabouts, they still made the decision to ensure that the headquarters was not targeted by the enemy. After discussion between the two people, the two finally decided: to separate the main leaders of Huaye at that time, so that even if there was an accident due to the enemy's air raid, it would be possible to ensure that there was a commander to provoke the girder and maintain the normal battle of Huaye. Finally, it was decided by the meetingAt that time, Chen Shiyu, chief of staff of Huaye, and Tang Liang, director of the Political Department, led the 1st, 3rd, and 10th columns to form the Western Front Corps, and divided their troops to attack Tai'an in the west, which could not only ensure the safety of Huaye's command center, but also disperse the enemy's forces -- this was one of the few experiences in which Huaye fell into passivity at that time.
In fact, as ** and Su Yu expected, the specific marching route of the East China Field Army at that time had indeed been exposed to the Kuomintang army, and it was Wang Shuming, deputy commander of the Kuomintang Air Force, who received the specific location of the headquarters of the East China Field Army at that time. As soon as he received the information, Wang Shuming ordered the Kuomintang air force to carry out a targeted bombing of the command post of the East China Field Army, and reported the "results" to Chiang Kai-shek as soon as possible. At the same time, Wang Yaowu, commander of the Second Appeasement Zone, who was fighting in Shandong, also sent a telegram to Chiang Kai-shek to "ask for credit", claiming that the headquarters where Su Yu and Su Yu were located had been bombed by the first priority, and that Su Yu and Su Yu would definitely die. For this reason, Chiang Kai-shek also wrote in his diary:"** On the 15th of last month, he was killed by our air force near Zhou Village, Jiaoji Road. "It is enough to see the arrogance of the ** air force units.
However, to a certain extent, this air raid was quite serious for the East China Field Army and even for the Shandong Liberated Area. At that time, they were in Zhou Village, Tanbu Town, together with ** and Su Yu, as well as their respective lovers Zhang Qian, Chu Qing, **Chen Shiyu and other leading cadres were also here at that time. When the ** Air Force bombed this, fortunately, the East China Field Army had the habit of digging air-raid shelters at any time, so that a group of leading groups at that time escaped. If the Kuomintang army's conspiracy to attack our army's headquarters here really succeeds, then the historical course of Huaye will probably be very different from today's.
After making the transfer of the cadres and personnel of the command post, Su Yu and the others have always been apprehensive about the air raid on the command post, and have been wondering what caused the secret march of Huaye that had never missed the news to leak. One day, Su Yu, who had been thinking about the details repeatedly, suddenly realized that he hurriedly ordered the soldiers around him:"Hurry up and catch me the ** platoon commander who was captured by the 74th Division in those days!”After an investigation by our army, Su Yu said that the name "**."ReorganizationThe platoon commander of the 74th Division "really disappeared in our army, and the leakage of intelligence from the command post of our army is likely related to this."
What's going on here?Later, according to the recollections of Su Yu, Wang Dezhi and others, it turned out to be in the Battle of Laiwu and **ReorganizationAfter the 74th Division fought, our army successfully captured a platoon commander from **. Generally speaking, our army practices the principle of "preferential treatment for prisoners," which not only keeps them fed and clothed, but also provides them with ideological education, so that they can join our army and participate in the cause of the liberation war after they have been reformed. And for the soldiers who don't want to fight anymore, they will also be given dry food for their journey, so that they can only stay **, and don't be with the Kuomintang anymore after returning to their hometownsIt can be said that our army's policy towards prisoners is quite enlightened, but it is precisely because of this open-mindedness that people with ulterior motives have taken advantage of the loopholes.
At that time, after receiving "preferential treatment" from our army, this ** platoon commander said that he would "change his ways" and participate in the liberation cause of our army. When Su Yu inspected the treatment of prisoners, he also noticed this platoon commander who had "changed his ways", so he left him to work near the command post, but he did not expect that this prisoner's "bad changes" was fake, and it was true that he was looking for an opportunity to escape. After encountering the air raid on Tangbu, Su Yu realized that it was very likely that this person had leaked the news of our army's secret march. Subsequently, Su Yu told ** about his negligence, and while scolding the ** soldier's obsession, he also made self-criticism:It is believed that from now on, Huaye should do a more strict ideological education of prisoners.
And after experiencing this lesson, Su Yu gave a "death order": from now on, he will be captured againReorganizationThe soldiers of the 74th Division must be strictly guarded, educated, and not released. In fact, Su Yu's worries are also justified - in addition to this distress in Tangbu, after many andReorganizationAfter the battle of the 74th Division, Su Yu also became more aware of the willpower of the "ace army" of the Kuomintang, so he paid special attention to the sourceReorganizationPrisoners of the 74 Division. After Su Yu's "death order" was issued, there were fewer and fewer intelligence leakage problems in our army due to the escape of prisoners, thus ensuring the follow-up work of Huaye.
The opportunities on the battlefield are ever-changing, and a detail can often determine the life and death of thousands of people, and Su Yu grasped this detail so that the lessons of Tangbu were not repeated in the later history of our army, and Su Yu's move was not only to ensure the lives and safety of the cadres of the command post, but also for the sake of tens of millions of soldiers. Starting from the details, grasping the fighter at the critical moment may be the real reason why Su Yu has won many battles on the battlefield.
