On October 7, 1948, Chiang Kai-shek returned to Tanggu, Tianjin on the cruiser Chongqing after a lecture at Huludao.
On the way, Lao Jiang was displeased to find that his gloves were covered with dust. He silently summoned Gui Yongqing, commander-in-chief of the navy, and had dinner with him.
However, Chiang Kai-shek's anger erupted at the dinner table, and he loudly scolded Gui Yongqing for accusing the navy of corruption and ruining the country, and Gui Yongqing left sullenly. After that, no one dared to dine with Chiang Kai-shek again.
Chiang Kai-shek traveled frequently between Northeast China and North China, rushing to solve the war in Northeast China. Jinzhou was besieged, and Chiang Kai-shek sought assistance everywhere, asking for reinforcements from Fu Zuoyi and Wei Lihuang.
However, Chiang Kai-shek's scheme seemed doomed. When discussing with our army the operational plan for rescuing Jinzhou, Chiang Kai-shek mobilized the navy and air force of the Kuomintang army, hoping to open up Tashan to Jinzhou.
However, the outcome of the campaign was already predestined.
The Kuomintang army formed the Eastern Advance Corps, but the troops reached Tashan at different times, increasing the resistance. On the Tashan position, the efforts of the Kuomintang troops were ineffective.
Chiang Kai-shek had ordered the Chongqing ships to support the army offensive with artillery fire, but in the end the ships were out of position and could not provide effective support.
On the Tashan position, the Kuomintang army encountered a huge challenge.
The Navy and Air Force failed to coordinate operations, and the cooperation between the units was not smooth, which became a laughing stock in the battle. In the fierce battle, the power of the Chongqing ship's guns made the enemy fearful, but in the end they chose to leave.
In addition, the officers and men of the Chongqing ship organized an uprising. The uprising was led by two underground party organizations that aspired to build a powerful Chinese navy, but were disappointed by corruption within the KMT.
They eventually revolted under the leadership of Deng Zhaoxiang and set sail for a bright future.
