How can a defeated general be brave?The defeat is like a mountain, but it only reveals the lack of strength. In the situation of defeat and capture, some generals are still proud of their bravery. Liao Yaoxiang may be because of his handsome appearance, or because of the brave fighting of his troops, but after being captured by Lin Shuai and others, he was extremely unwilling to admit defeat.
Liao Yaoxiang claimed at the banquet: "Will the communist army fight?I don't think you Liu Yalou is only worthy of shoeshine ballroom dancing, but *** and ** don't know any tactics!
Before I put the soldiers into a fight, you guys came over, and I want to ask ** if you dare to fight with me again!"Why is Liao Yaoxiang so rhetorical?
First of all, it was a banquet hosted by the Siye Command, which was dedicated to ideological work on the high-ranking Kuomintang generals who were captured in the Liaoshen Campaign.
As the chief of staff, Liu Yalou was responsible for the work of these defeated generals, so Liao Yaoxiang bore the brunt of the concession to Liu Yalou. And the commander-in-chief and political commissar of Siye 101 was the commander-in-chief of the Liaoshen Campaign. 101 Although he was in poor health, he was only responsible for fighting the war, and the actual person in charge of other affairs was the deputy political commissar *** Marshal.
Therefore, Liao Yaoxiang criticized the two actual persons in charge of the four fields by name. In the process of pursuing Liao Yaoxiang, because of the urgent military situation, the pursuit troops of the People's Liberation Army also seemed a little confused, and 101 had to send frequent telegrams.
And Liao Yaoxiang's army fell into chaos, the headquarters was terminated in the Hu family's shack, and Liao Yaoxiang fell into a real predicament. The sand mixing tactics adopted by 101 made it difficult for Liao Yaoxiang to give full play to his heavy ** advantage, which made Liao Yaoxiang feel very depressed, so he had unconvincing words.
Liao Yaoxiang himself is a famous anti-Japanese general, born in the sixth phase of Huangpu, and has made a lot of achievements in the Anti-Japanese War. During the transformation of Gongdelin, he was also appointed by Liu Shuai to come to the PLA Military Academy to teach tactics.
Liao Yaoxiang has many achievements in the Anti-Japanese War in the battles of Kunlun Pass, the Expeditionary Force, and Xuefeng Mountain, which is enough to prove that he is not a person who speaks wildly. Although the Ninth Corps under Liao Yaoxiang was improvised, the combat effectiveness of the troops under his command was very good. The New Sixth Army and the New First Army were the main trump card units of Chiang Kai-shek's lineage, while the combat effectiveness of other units was also at the middle and upper level in the Kuomintang army.
The corps of more than 100,000 people was one of the most effective regiments of the Kuomintang during the War of Liberation. Liao Yaoxiang was not convinced by himself and his soldiers, not only for himself, but also for these soldiers.
However, the disbelief of the Kuomintang generals could not hide the facts. The People's Liberation Army (PLA) has shown clever tactics and strategy, otherwise how could it easily annex Liao Yaoxiang's 100,000-strong army and eliminate one of the five main forces of the Kuomintang.
Liao Yaoxiang's questioning of the two marshals Lin Luo also seemed untenable. Their positions and positions are not equal at all, and the commander of the Corps should correspond to Wei Lihuang and Du Yuming in 101. The deeper reason why Liao Yaoxiang was so dissatisfied was that he sided with Chiang Kai-shek, who represented the comprador class and often interfered with the operations of his subordinates.
He wallows in the glory of the past without reflecting on the root causes of his failure. During Liu Yalou's toast, Liao Yaoxiang's yelling seemed a little out of place, but Liu Yalou did not care about it, but introduced another senior Kuomintang general to make the whole scene more harmonious.
What exactly did the Kuomintang soldiers fight for?One of the guests, Zheng Dongguo, became a microcosm of his performance in the Battle of Changchun.
Zheng Dongguo originally had the determination to swear allegiance to the death, but his officers and soldiers were not willing to pay for the Jiang family's life. The uprising of Zeng Zesheng and other generals forced Zheng Dongguo to surrender in the end. At this banquet, Zheng Dongguo's arrival caused confusion and salute among the generals. Zheng Dongguo explained the dissatisfaction of his officers and soldiers, believing that the ** soldiers did not understand why they were fighting.
He pointed out that the PLA not only won a victory, but also allowed the Chinese people to stand up and build a strong national defense force to defend the security of the motherland. These ** soldiers were just a tool of Chiang Kai-shek, and their defeat was already doomed.
At this banquet, Liao Yaoxiang gradually understood why the Kuomintang soldiers were thinking like this. The gap between the KMT and the CCP is far from being as simple as it seems. The goals and beliefs of the Kuomintang and the Communist Party are completely different, which also determines their will to fight and their fate.
In the process, Liao Yaoxiang toasted Liu Yalou and apologized for Meng Lang's words. After all, it was difficult to conceal the facts because the Kuomintang generals were not convinced, and the PLA outperformed them in strategy and tactics. Liao Yaoxiang gradually accepted this fact, and the toast to Zheng Dongguo also made the whole banquet scene harmonious.
Failure is not terrible, what is terrible is not to forge ahead, Liao Yaoxiang may have gained more thinking at this banquet.
