Huaihai siege 400,000 desperate moments, the "living hell" on the verge of life and death

The Battle of Huaihai, which was a desperate struggle between the Chinese People's Liberation Army and the Kuomintang Army in the deep cold winter. Among them, the besieged Du Yuming group seems to be in a "living hell", and every day is on the verge of life and death.

This is not an exaggeration, but a deep depiction of the chaotic scene in that encirclement. Imagine, in the cold weather and the howling cold wind, the soldiers of Du Yuming's group live in unimaginable suffering. In that encirclement, there was not a single green to be seen, not a birdsong to be heard, only mutilation, a wail, and they laughed at themselves as "living hell".

And in this "living hell", the number of people cannot be counted, but it is constantly attrition, death, surrender, hunger and cold. From the initial 300,000 to the current 400,000, survival has become the most difficult challenge. This is no longer a simple battlefield, but a place of despair.

In this desperate battle, the problem of food became a major problem for the besieging army. It was freezing cold, and the lack of food was unbearable. From the initial military rations to mules and horses, from civilian grains to bark and grass roots, everything that could be eaten became a luxury. Du Yuming wrote in his memoirs that the people in the "Living Hell" were worried about what to eat every day, and every bite of food was like a gift from heaven.

What is more serious is that the besieging army is short of food, that is, there is a shortage of food and ammunition. Chiang Kai-shek was full of expectations that the battle would end quickly, leading to delays in the delivery of grain and ammunition. As a result, they found that the battle was not easy, and the delivery of food and ammunition was not timely. In the "living hell", the soldiers were hungry and cold, and the soldiers could only make a living by robbing the people of grain, slaughtering cattle and horses, and killing chickens and dogs. The wind and snow are blowing, the airdrops are all stopped, and the situation is even more severe.

The desperate situation of this "living hell" has aroused widespread concern among the Chinese people. On the Internet, some netizens commented on this scene and expressed their sympathy and concern for the soldiers and civilians besieging the city. Someone wrote: "After reading such reports, I can't help but feel sorry for them, and we should give more care and support to those soldiers and civilians who are surviving in the 'living hell'." ”

At the same time, the international community is beginning to pay attention to this humanitarian crisis. In the face of the predicament at the same time, China is also making every effort to save, from the call of mines to the emergency training of paratroopers, all of which show the indomitability and tenacity of the squadron.

In this desperate "living hell", the Chinese People's Liberation Army and the besieged soldiers and civilians not only struggled on the edge of survival, but also showed the tenacity and mutual help of the Chinese people. As a netizen said: "The best people in distress are not only defending the country, but also guarding the dignity of human nature." ”

Although this "living hell" is severe, it also shows the tenacity and tenacity of the Chinese people in difficult situations. At this moment, we should not only pay attention to their plight, but also send them warmth and support. This is a battle for the Chinese People's Liberation Army to uphold justice and defend the homeland, and it is also a struggle in the hearts of every Chinese. May that "living hell" usher in the dawn of victory as soon as possible.
