In the War of Liberation, which battle destroyed the most enemies?
In the impression of many people, the three major battles were the three large-scale decisive battles in which the most enemies were annihilated in the War of Liberation, and the results of each decisive battle exceeded the 420,000 people in the battle of crossing the river.
470,000 enemies were annihilated in the Liaoshen Campaign, and 55 enemies were annihilated in the Huaihai Campaign50,000 people, 520,000 enemies were annihilated in the Pingjin Campaign.
In fact, in another major battle, the total number of troops invested by our army was not as good as any of the three major battles, and the duration was roughly the same as that of one of the three major battles, but the total number of enemies destroyed far exceeded any of the three major battles. This battle is the Southwest Campaign.
In the 57-day Southwest Campaign, our army invested a total of 4 and a half corps, including 340,000 people in 3 corps in Erye (Chen Geng's 4th Corps was used in Liangguang and Yunnan), 120,000 in 18 Corps in Yiye, and 110,000 in 7 divisions in Siye, totaling 570,000 people.
Such investment was lower than the 700,000 people in the Liaoshen Campaign, the 600,000 people in the Huaihai Campaign, and even lower than the more than 1 million people in the Pingjin Campaign. However, the results of the Southwest Campaign were very impressive: a total of 930,000 people from 10 enemy corps were annihilated!
Among them, 9 of the enemy's 10 corps have rebelled one after another, which corps commander has the best end?
In the Southwest Campaign, the 10 enemy corps that were annihilated were:
The Southwest Military and Political Chief's Office Zhang Qun's Corps, with a total of more than 500,000 people in 34 armies;There are 3 corps under Hu Zongnan's office of the Northwest Chief Executive, that is, the 140,000 corps;He Shaozhou's 19th Corps of the Guizhou Pacification Office withdrew north into Sichuan;Zhu Dingqing's 3rd Corps, which was temporarily put together in eastern Hubei.
Although the number of enemy forces in the southwest is large, many of them are rabble. As the old saying goes"Those who know the times are handsome", and throwing themselves into the arms of the people is the way outOn November 30, 1949, after the main force of Liu Deng Erye liberated Chongqing, people of insight in the enemy army abandoned the darkness and turned to the light, constantly revolted, and made contributions to the cause of liberation.
On December 9, Lu Han, the "King of Yunnan", revolted in Kunming;
On the 10th, Liu Wenhui, the "King of Xikang", Deng Xihou, and Pan Wenhua, deputy commanders of the "Southwest Military and Political Office", revolted in Peng CountyWang Boxun, deputy commander of the 19th Corps, revolted in Pu'an, Guizhou;
On the 11th, Guo Rugui of the 22nd Corps revolted in Yibin;
On the 21st, the 2 armies of Sun Yuanliang of the 16th Corps revolted in Shifang;
On the 24th, Luo Guangwen of the 15th Corps revolted in Pixian, and Chen Kefei of the 20th Corps revolted in Ande;
On the 25th, Pei Changhui of the 7th Corps revolted in Deyang;
On the 26th, Zhu Dingqing of the 3rd Corps revolted in Jintang;
On the 27th, Li Zhen of the 18th Corps revolted in Jianyang, and Li Wen of the 5th Corps revolted in Xinjin.
In the Southwest Campaign, the only one who was wiped out without an uprising was Zhong Bin's 14th Corps.
Among the commanders of the corps of the uprising, there was a "tricky".
This person is President Chiang's "good student" and Li Wen, commander of the 5th Corps.
Li Wen is a student of Huangpu, but also President Jiang's "loyal fan", participated in the Eastern Expedition, the Northern Expedition, in 10 years from the trainee platoon commander all the way to the division commander, during the Anti-Japanese War, Li Wen participated in the Battle of Songhu, the Battle of Lanfeng, the Battle of Wuhan, served as the army commander, the commander-in-chief of the group army. After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, the surrender of the Japanese army was accepted in Shijiazhuang, Hebei.
During the War of Liberation, Li Wen was stationed in Beiping. Nominally, he was one of Fu Zuoyi's deputy commanders-in-chief, but in fact, President Jiang planted his eyeliner and "overseer" in Beiping to supervise Fu Zuoyi, a miscellaneous general from the Jin army.
After the peaceful liberation of Beiping, Li Wen was detained. However, Li Wen, who was good at turning, finally persuaded Fu Zuoyi, who was nostalgic for his old feelings, to send a small transport plane to send Li Wen and Yuan Pu, commander of the 16th Army, to Qingdao Air Base.
After the Battle of Chengdu, the general trend of the southwest had gone, and Li Wen, deputy director of the Xi'an Pacification Office, was used as a scapegoat by Hu Zongnan, and he flew to Guangzhou. The 5th Corps was embattled, and Li Wen led 3 armies to surrender to our army, and then was sent to the Chongqing senior class to study.
However, Li Wenming was stubborn, and in the spring of 1950, he found an opportunity to escape to Hong Kong Island in disguise, and finally went with the consent of President ChiangTaiwan Island. Of course, the Chiang family will not use him anymore and let him retire from his idle position. Li Wen died in Taipei in 1977.
Of the 9 regiments of the uprising, there was one man who made a wedding dress for someone else.
This person is He Shaozhou, a first-term student of Huangpu and commander of the 19th Corps.
He Shaozhou is He Yingqin's nephew, participated in two Eastern Crusades, and was already the head of Li Zongren's "Steel 7th Army" during the Northern Expedition. He Shaozhou studied at the Army Non-commissioned Officer School and the Field Artillery School in Japan, and also studied at the 10th Army University.
During the Anti-Japanese War, He Shaozhou participated in the Songhu War of Resistance in 1931 and 1937, the Battle of Nanjing, the Battle of Wuhan, the Battle of Yichang, the Second Battle of Changsha, and the Battle of Zhejiang and Jiangxi. During his tenure as the commander of the New 8th Army of the Expeditionary Force, he was the first to set a record of annihilating a wing of the Japanese army in the First Battle of Songshan and was awarded the "Order of the Blue Sky and White Sun".
During the Liberation War, He Shaozhou was successively stationed in Yunnan, Xichang, Sichuan-Guizhou, and during the Southwest Campaign, he led the 19th Corps to defend Guizhou. He Shaozhou saw the situation very thoroughly, so when Gu Zhenglun, director of the Guizhou "Appeasement" Office, asked the 19th Corps to resist with all its might in the Zhenyuan area, he already had a premonition that "a flea could not hold up a bed."
He Shaozhou escorted 52,000 taels to Chongqing, and when Wang Jingyuan, an old subordinate and commander of the 49th Army, asked for instructions on the "uprising" in Bijie**, He Shaozhou asked him to do it himself, and actually acquiesced to Wang Jingyuan's abandonment of the secret and surrender to the light.
Ho Siu-chou himself flew to Hong Kong Island through connections and later started a business. However, He Shaozhou, who was a gambler, was still planted in the word "gambling", and the bank where he deposited money collapsed, and he suddenly became destitute. Fortunately, there are also rubber plantations in Brazil to talk about old age.
Among the commanders of the corps of the uprising, there was one person who was very special.
Luo Guangwen, the commander of the 15th Corps, who was born and raised, is the elder brother of Luo Guangbin, a hero of Chongqing's Dregs Cave and one of the authors of "Red Rock". Luo Guangwen was 19 years older than Luo Guangbin and was born in Zhong County, Sichuan (now Chongqing).
When he was young, Luo Guangwen failed to apply for Central South University in Nanjing, and went east to Japan to change to Tokyo Medical University. Finally, at the age of 19, he was admitted to the Tokyo Higher Normal School, and abandoned his pen in the middle of the process and switched to the Japanese Army Non-commissioned Officer School.
In August 1929, Luo Guangwen entered the Guangzhou branch of Huangpu and taught weapons and artillery.
After the Central Plains War, he joined Chen Cheng's 18th Army as artillery battalion commander, regiment commander, and division chief of staff. During the Anti-Japanese War, he participated in the Battle of Songhu, the Battle of Wuhan, and the Battle of Western Hubei with the 18th Army, and successively served as the commander of the 18th Army and the 87th Army.
During the Liberation War, Luo Guangwen and the 14th Army participated in the battle to attack Jinnan, and they were still fighting against our army in central and eastern Henan. However, since then, he has been holding positions in the training service and in the second-line troops. After the outbreak of the Southwest Campaign, Luo Guangwen's 108th Army and 110th Army were temporarily put together into the 15th Corps, and Luo Guangwen served as the commander.
After the 108th Army was defeated by Erye in the Sichuan-Guizhou defense line, Luo Guangwen and the remnants were assigned to the command of Yang Sen, Luo Guangwen then rebelled in Xindu, and after the founding of New China, he served as the director of the Shandong Forestry Department. He died in 1956 at the age of 51.
Among the corps commanders of the uprising, Pei Changhui "got up early in the morning and rushed to a late meeting".
He wanted to revolt in July 1949, but for some reason he postponed it for four months.
Pei Changhui is a native of Weixian County, Shandong, the eighth phase of the Baoding Military Academy, after graduation into the team of the great warlord Sun Chuanfang, after being defeated by the Northern Expeditionary Army, Pei Changhui changed his face, became the chief adviser of the 4th Division of the Northern Expeditionary Army, and was gradually promoted to division commander in the battle.
During the Anti-Japanese War, Pei Changhui served as the commander of the 47th Division and the commander of the 9th Army, and participated in guerrilla warfare behind enemy lines in Zhongtiao Mountain and Taihang Mountain. Pei Chang will treat his subordinates well, and he will get along well with the Eighth Route Army.
After the victory of the Anti-Ke, Pei Changhui went to the "appeasement" office in Xi'an and became a close confidant of Hu Zongnan. He also led the 5th Corps to attack Yan'an, and after the liberation of Beiping, the down-and-out commander of the 4th Corps, Li Wen, also went to Xi'an and took Pei Changhui's place.
Pei Chang would be transferred to the newly formed second-line army, the 7th Corps, and retreated to Sichuan.
At this time, Pei Changhui had already seen the general trend of the world, and contacted the uprising through his old friend Li Xisan and Yiye, in view of the fact that Pei Changhui had just arrived and had not yet fully grasped the 7th Corps, our army decided to let Pei Changhui postpone the uprising and wait for the opportunity.
On November 23, 1949, Pei Changhui and the 7th Corps revolted in Deyang.
As the saying goes, "a good meal is not afraid of being late", Pei Changhui, who postponed the uprising for more than four months, has been serving in the southwest region since the founding of the People's Republic of China, and joined the organization at the age of 93. In March 1992, Pei Changhui died in Chongqing at the age of 96.
