How many people were lost by Liu Deng's army when they advanced into Dabie Mountain
Since ancient times, war has always played an important role as a key turning point on the road of China's development. In times of war, the state is like a giant chessboard, and a clever strategy can be enough to change the situation.
In modern history, partisan strife and power struggle were an important part of that era, and the confrontation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party had a profound impact on the development of the country. In the early days of the War of Liberation, our party faced the best troops, although the strength was far inferior to the opponent, but it was not as good as the best equipment.
In order to bridge the gap in strength, flexible tactics and wise decision-making have become the key to changing the situation.
In 1947, the Central Plains Field Army formulated a bold strategy, that is, to advance thousands of miles into the Dabie Mountains. This decision has added a strong touch to history, and its historical significance is self-evident.
It can be said that"Leap into Dabie Mountain"The series of battles is the best life and death game set up by the Central Plains Field Army. Although at that time, there was a huge disparity in strength between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, and it was quite risky for Liu Deng Dajun (Central Plains Field Army) to make this decision, but with their extraordinary courage and courage, they succeeded in luring the enemy into the game with dangerous tactics and creating a miracle.
However, their efforts are also enormous. In that year, Liu Deng's army jumped south into Dabie Mountain, which caused a sensation throughout the country. What is even more unexpected is that the southward movement was not the whole army, only the main force.
In other words, the elite troops of Liu Deng's army made a thousand-mile leap without wanting the rear, and the thrilling decision of his decision is self-evident. The main force of Liu Deng's army consisted of four columns, which were.
One, two, three, six vertical.
So, what was the total strength of Liu Deng's army before going south? How many troops will be left after the war? Next, let's take a look together!
Liu Deng's army jumped thousands of miles into Dabie Mountain, and more than 120,000 people fought fiercely with the enemy without rear support. Despite the difficult environment, with flexible tactics and perseverance, he succeeded in establishing a base area.
However, in 1948, the situation of the national war changed, and Liu Deng's army was forced to withdraw, and the troops were seriously reduced, and only half of the initial strength remained. There were two reasons, one was that there was no rear support, and the other was that the Kuomintang urgently mobilized a large number of troops to encircle and suppress, resulting in frequent battles and heavy losses.
Although Dingtao won the first battle, our army had nearly 3,500 people, of which Wang Jinshan's troops sacrificed as many as 2,800 people.
The mass foundation in Dabie Mountain is weak, and logistical supply is difficult. It was once the birthplace of the Red Fourth Front Army, but because of Chiang Kai-shek's brutal suppression, the memory of the Red Army was almost erased, the houses were burned down, and the young and middle-aged were killed, leaving only some old people and children.
In desperation, the masses had no choice but to hide in the mountains. As a result, Dabie Mountain has almost no mass base. When Liu Deng's army advanced into Dabie Mountain, there was no rear supply, and life was extremely difficult.
In this case, due to the lack of physiological needs, some soldiers died heroically.
When Liu Deng's army left Dabie Mountain, due to the influence of multiple factors, the troops were seriously reduced, and the remaining strength totaled more than 58,600 people, compared with the time when they went south, the remaining strength of the troops was less than half of the initial strength.
Despite this, they still persevered and continued to fight for the cause of the people's liberation.
