After the Red Army's Western Expedition in 1936, it took over the 78th Division of the Red 15th Army Corps on the right side of the Western Expeditionary Force and took on the task of covering.
* The Military Commission instructed that the division commander Han Xianchu led his troops to meet the Red Army of the Long March to northern Shaanxi.
2. The Fourth Front Army, and help it fight the enemy, and ensure that the troops of the Long March to the north can reach the base area smoothly.
After the completion of the covering mission, the division commander Han Xianchu ordered the troops to retreat. However, Liu Maogong, the political commissar of the 232nd regiment, was resolutely unwilling to retreat and had a resolute attitude. Commander Han Xianchu angrily rode his horse to the position of the 232nd Regiment, pointed his gun at Liu Maogong's head, and sternly warned him that he must retreat, otherwise he would bear the consequences.
However, Liu Maogong was also stubborn, and in the face of the division commander's anger, he did not flinch, and directly refuted the division commander's order, saying that he would never retreat. Commander Han Xianchu asked him if he had any doubts about his orders, and Liu Maogong directly said that no one's orders would work.
In the end, Liu Maogong turned around and left, leaving no chance for Master Han Xianchu to interrogate.
In 1936, Zhang Guotao's erroneous command led to the redness of the south.
The 2nd and 4th Front armies suffered heavy losses, and only 40,000 of the 80,000 remained. However, at the insistence of **, others and others, they were finally able to go north to join the ** Red Army and began the arduous Long March.
They overcame many difficulties, climbed snow-capped mountains and crossed meadows, and finally reached the Gannan region in August.
Under the fierce fighting of the Red Fourth Front Army, the Red Army successfully tore through the enemy's encirclement and opened up a way for itself to survive in Weiyuan, Minxian, Longxi and other places. On September 14, 1936, the Communist Party of China and the Central Revolutionary Military Commission demanded that the Red Fourth Front Army quickly control Xi'an and Lanzhou after entering the Gannan area, prevent the Kuomintang Huzong from "advancing westward", and at the same time get close to the ** Red Army stationed in Guyuan, forming a corner trend.
In addition, ** also sent troops from Zuo Quan and ** to respond. However, at the critical moment, Zhang Guotao's thinking was shaken again, and he decided to go west without authorization.
Thanks to *** as well as red.
The persuasion of the cadres of the Second and Fourth Front armies allowed him to act according to the original plan again.
In order to ensure the smooth arrival of the Red Army in the north, ** in late September, the 73rd Division of the Red 15th Army Corps and the 2nd Division of the 1st Red Army Corps were dispatched to Gannan to respond. At the beginning of October, the 232nd Regiment of the 78th Division of the 15th Red Army was ordered to move south to clear the way for the Red Army to go north and intercept the pursuit of the Kuomintang army.
The commander of the 78th Division, Han Xianchu, decided to personally direct the actions of the 232nd Regiment. In cooperation with other receiving units, the 232nd Regiment successfully held back the pursuing Kuomintang troops, making the Red.
The Second and Fourth Front armies successfully joined up with the Red First Army.
However, the enemy mistakenly thought that the 232nd regiment, which had come to intercept it, was red.
The main forces of the 2nd and 4th Front Armies, so the troops constantly moved closer to the direction of the 232nd Regiment. Under these circumstances, Han Xianchu immediately decided to retreat with the whole army.
However, Ma Hongkui, a general of the Kuomintang Army, built a tight "anti-communist fortress line" near the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningbo border area, and hundreds of fortresses had cavalry links with each other, and once they discovered our army's movements, they would immediately respond and send cavalry to pursue them.
Faced with the enemy pressing step by step, Han Xianchu decisively ordered a retreat. At the critical moment, he sent soldiers from two companies of Liu Mao's power to take charge of the rear of the palace and cover the safety of the main force.
Fortunately, the mountainous terrain of Gannan caused great trouble to the enemy, so that when the main force of the 232nd Regiment successfully broke through, Liu Maogong's blocking force had not yet discovered the Kuomintang cavalry.
After learning of this situation, Han Xianchu immediately ordered Liu Mao's power department to retreat. However, what I didn't expect was that the correspondent reported: "Political Commissar Liu refused to retreat, he wanted to stay and fight the enemy!" ”
Faced with this sudden situation, Han Xianchu immediately stepped on his horse and galloped to Liu Maogong's blocking position.
Han Xianchu yelled at Liu Maogong: "Liu Maogong, why did you disobey the military order and not retreat?" Liu Maogong replied: "Division commander, ** cavalry is close at hand, our two legs will definitely not be able to outrun the enemy's four legs, behind this mountain is a ravine, when the enemy cavalry catches up, and then occupy the high ground, we will be beaten!" ”
Han Xianchu did not listen to Liu Maogong's advice: "Now immediately carry out the order and retreat!" Liu Maogong still insisted: "Division commander, we should take advantage of the terrain and wait for the enemy cavalry to ambush."
In this way, we can inflict heavy damage on the enemy and deprive them of the ability to pursue us. However, Han Xianchu resolutely carried out the retreat order: "Liu Maogong, now is not the time to discuss tactics.
We must retreat as quickly as possible to avoid being pursued by enemy forces. Although Liu Maogong was adamantly opposed to the retreat, he was ultimately suppressed by Han Xianchu's resolute orders. They began to retreat, praying for a smooth escape from the enemy's pursuit.
Han Xianchu was so angry that he took out a pistol and put it against Liu Maogong's head, and yelled, "Do you listen to my orders? If you don't withdraw, I'll kill you! Liu Maogong did not show weakness, the bull's temper came up instantly, and he said sharply: "I'm determined, if you have a kind, you will kill me!" ”
Han Xianchu glared and shouted, "How dare you not listen to my orders? Liu Maogong sneered: "I won't listen to anyone's orders!" After speaking, he turned around and left, not giving Han Xianchu a chance to speak at all.
Han Xianchu had no choice but to give up and return to his original place.
Han Xianchu ordered troops to reinforce Liu Maogong's ambush, but before reinforcements could arrive, Liu Maogong was already engaged in battle with the enemy cavalry. As Liu Maogong expected, the enemy cavalry ignored the ambush on the hill and was immediately attacked by Liu Maogong's troops after entering the ravine.
Since the enemy could not ride horses, and Liu Maogong and others had a geographical advantage, the enemy was easily defeated in the end.
After successfully blocking the enemy, Liu Maogong decisively ordered a retreat. Previously, he was reluctant to retreat because he feared that in the event of an enemy advantage, our army would suffer heavy losses. Now that the enemy has been held back, the likelihood of retreat is greatly reduced.
Under his command, the 232 regiment managed to get out of danger. However, when Han Xianchu wanted to criticize him, the scout reported: "Division commander, the enemy has caught up again, and there are more of them!" ”
Hearing the news, Han Xianchu couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. If Liu Maogong had followed his orders at that time, with a large number of enemy reinforcements, our army might have been surrounded in the ravine, and the consequences would have been unimaginable.
After the full-scale outbreak of the War of Resistance Against Japan, the Kuomintang and the Communist Party worked together, and the Red Army was reorganized into the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army to jointly fight against the invaders. As a native of the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningbo base area, Liu Maogong was familiar with the local environment, so when the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army rushed to the front, the heavy responsibility of defending the entire Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningbo base area fell on Liu Maogong's shoulders.
Faced with this arduous task, Liu Maogong resolutely accepted the challenge and immediately began to deploy and plan. He knows very well that defending the base areas means defending one's homeland and the rights and interests of the Chinese people.
Therefore, he firmly stated that he must do his best to defend the base area and not let the enemy take advantage of it. However, just when Liu Maogong was going all out to defend the base area, Han Xianchu put forward the idea of abandoning the base area and fighting elsewhere.
This suggestion aroused dissatisfaction and opposition from many people, especially Liu Maogong, who was firmly opposed to this plan and decided to stay behind to block the enemy and protect the base area.
Although Han Xianchu felt a little reckless, he expressed his understanding and respect for Liu Maogong's decision. He sincerely apologized to Liu Maogong and said that if he had listened to Liu Maogong's opinion at that time, he would have been the one who should have been shot by now.
Liu Maogong responded with an open-minded attitude: "Commander, as long as we unite as one to defend the base area, there is nothing to be afraid of. In the end, Liu Maogong's firmness and courage won everyone's respect and trust, and he also successfully defended the base area, making important contributions to the victory of the War of Resistance Against Japan.
In the more than ten years that Liu Maogong was in Yan'an, he was promoted from battalion commander and regiment commander all the way to the military minister, participated in many battles, and made great contributions to defending the army and consolidating the rear.
In addition, his studies at the ** Party School enabled him to accumulate systematic theoretical knowledge. After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, Liu Maogong's career ushered in a peak. During the War of Liberation, Liu Maogong served as chief of staff, deputy brigade commander, deputy division commander, division commander and other positions, and participated in the battles of Guanzhong, Yichuan, Yumen, and Fumei.
Among them, the recovering of Guanzhong and the Battle of Fumei are the most famous. In 1947, when the War of Liberation was in full swing, Chiang Kai-shek, in order to eliminate our military regime as soon as possible, flew to Xi'an in February of that year and summoned the military and political leaders of the Kuomintang in the northwest region to prepare to solve the problem of northern Shaanxi within three months.
After that, Chiang Kai-shek mobilized 230,000 Kuomintang troops from the south of Hu Zong and launched a large-scale attack on the Yan'an revolutionary base in March 1947.
The evacuation of Yan'an began with Chiang Kai-shek's offensive, with hospitals, shops, schools, and other institutions all evacuated, and the masses and troops hiding in nearby hills. They decided to adopt a strategy of fortifying the walls and clearing the wilderness in order to wear down the combat strength of the Kuomintang army.
After the evacuation was completed, ** went to Zaoyuan, Yangjialing and other places to inspect the situation, and saw that the masses took away or hid all the edible and usable items at home, he said to everyone with a smile: "If it weren't for the Yan River, Hu Zongnan wouldn't even be able to drink saliva in Yan'an!" ”
On March 13, the 230,000 troops of the Kuomintang Hu Zong's southern part of the country launched a simultaneous attack from the south, south and west, and the momentum was violent. From time to time, planes dropped bombs overhead, and the sound of gunfire continued.
Under the decision of ***, **Ren Bishi and other **leaders adopted a strategy to avoid its edge and took the initiative to evacuate Yan'an. They fought in northern Shaanxi, fighting the enemy while directing the war throughout the country.
Until 1948, Huzong was forced to retreat in the south. And Hu Zongnan's ability to be repelled is inseparable from the contribution of one person, and he is Liu Maogong. Liu Maogong was appointed commander of the advance team to defend Yan'an, and he worked closely with the main force to successfully defend Yan'an.
At that time, most of the Guanzhong region was occupied, and the main transportation routes were full of strongholds, and it became very difficult to carry out guerrilla operations. However, Liu Maogong's wisdom and courage enabled him to successfully resist the enemy's attack and make great contributions to the defense of Yan'an.
Miaowan and Liulin were only garrisoned by the Returning to the Countryside Regiment and the Local Security Corps, and there were no regular Kuomintang troops at all, and if they wanted to fight, they would be able to recover these two places overnight.
Such a good opportunity was in front of him, and Liu Maogong naturally would not miss it, so he ordered the attack to start that night.
On the evening of March 20, 1947, Liu Maogong led the leading contingent to attack Miaowan, but the enemy fled in a hurry and Miaowan was lost. Liu Maogong was not complacent about the victory in the first battle, he knew that Liulin was adjacent to Miaowan, and if Liulin was not recovered as soon as possible, the enemy would strengthen its defenses, and it would be even more difficult to attack again.
So, after a night of repairing, before dawn the next day, he led the soldiers south, arrived at the willow forest in the morning, and without stopping for a moment, immediately launched an attack on the homecoming regiment, which was like a bamboo.
In this battle of Liulin, the armed forces of the Returning Home Regiment led by Liu Maogong himself were routed by the ferocious attack of the PLA soldiers, most of the members were annihilated, and the rest fled in confusion.
However, the battle caught the attention of the regular Kuomintang troops, who began to strengthen their defenses in the battles that followed. In the face of an enemy several times his size, Liu Maogong commanded the advance team to skillfully use the terrain to maneuver around the enemy, and at the same time constantly break through the enemy's weak strongholds and outposts, so as to delay the enemy's speed and regain the Guanzhong sub-district as soon as possible.
In just half a month, the advance team fought for more than 700 miles, annihilated more than 2,000 enemies, broke through countless enemy strongholds, won seven battles and seven victories, basically wiped out the ** forces of the Guanzhong Division, and dispersed a considerable part of the enemy's forces for the main force defending Yan'an.
on the Internet. In the process of recovering the Guanzhong Division, Liu Maogong played an important role, which made Hu Zongnan** feel pressure, and was finally forced to withdraw from the army.
His bravery and resourcefulness are known as "Mao Gong". In the Battle of Fumei in 1947, Liu Maogong served as the commander of the 10th Division, led the "Sharp Knife Team" to intersperse behind enemy lines, successfully cut off the retreat of the enemy army in the south of Huzong, and ran 150 miles in one night, and finally arrived at Luoju Town, a choke point, and completed the task.
Liu Maogong's heroic performance and leadership ability enabled him to make great achievements in the campaign.
With the cooperation of the People's Liberation Army, the defense of Luoju Town was occupied by our army at 7 o'clock in the morning, and the task of cutting off the enemy's retreat was successfully completed.
Next, under the encirclement of the People's Liberation Army, the 170,000 troops in the south of Huzong scattered and fled, and part of the main force tried to break through from Luoju Town. Under the fierce artillery attack of the enemy, Liu Maogong and his soldiers bravely killed the enemy and fought to the death, and in the end, our army defeated the enemy with a powerful offensive and successfully annihilated Hu Zongnan's main force.
After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Liu Maogong was awarded the rank of major general, and served as commander of the Third Army of the Air Force and commander of the Air Force of the Nanjing Military Region.
General Liu Maogong (third from left) has endured countless fierce battles in his revolutionary career and has achieved outstanding results. During his decades-long military career, he was always loyal to the revolution, unreservedly obeyed the arrangements of the organization, and devoted his whole life to the realization of national independence and national prosperity.
Therefore, Liu Maogong's life was a life of struggle for the revolution and a life of selfless dedication. In recognition of his great contributions, we must inherit the revolutionary spirit he left behind, continue to burn the torch of revolution, and work hard to realize the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation!
