["Mao Annals" Chronicle] 1947, ** 54 years old.
On May 14, 1947, after the Northwest Field Corps celebrated the major victory of "Three Wars and Three Victories", it called Lu Ding.
I. **
"Completely agree with the June operational policy, except for the 7th Police Regiment on the spot, the whole army will go out of Longdong and first attack the new 1st Brigade, then the 100th Brigade or other recalcitrant units. ”The Northwest Field Corps drew up an operational plan for fighting Longdong on the 19th, and the main force advanced westward on the 29th, recovering Huanxian in mid-June.
On May 24, on the issue of the deployment of seizing the great northwest, ** drafted a telegram to Chen Geng, Xie Fuzhi, and Han Jun for the ** Military Commission of the Communist Party of China: "Your column will complete the rest and recuperation and all preparations for westward advance within six months (including clearing Luliang and opening the passage), and prepare to cross the river from Daning and Jundu in early July, first to fight in northern Shaanxi, and then to fight in the vast areas of Ningxia and Gansu, with the goal of annihilating the Hu army and other stubborn troops and seizing the great northwest, that is, to defend Shanxi.
On June 6, the Military Commission of the Communist Party of China drafted a telegram to reply to Chen Geng, Xie Fuzhi, and Han Jun, agreeing with the opinion of the telegram on the 5th that they should start moving north and west after the 15th, and emphasized:
"We must be prepared to endure a lot of hardships, have the courage to overcome all difficulties, have the ambition to eliminate Hu Zongnan and seize the great northwest, and be prepared to fight positional warfare (which will be greatly reduced in the future), learn to work in close proximity, and be good at tackling tough problems. ”On 15 June, regarding the three-month operation situation in the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningbo border region, he called Gao Gang and told the local chiefs:
"The enemy, with more than 200,000 men in 31 regular brigades and security teams, oppressed our border area, which had only a population of 1.5 million and more than 40,000 troops, about seven and a half men against one enemy. In terms of the enemy's strength, Shandong ranks first and the border region ranks second, and in terms of population compared with the enemy, the border region ranks first. But the three-month war had demoralized the enemy and left him with little confidence in the future. Our army is very demoralized and confident. ”
"From the 9th to the 11th of this month, Liu Jian led four brigades to march to our station, and there was no other loss except for a slight loss of the people, and he was still working not far from the vicinity of Woniucheng. Our main force is now fighting in Longdong, and we are preparing to transfer Chen Geng's column to cross the river at the beginning of next month, and work together with the troops in the border area to annihilate Hu Zongnan and seize the great northwest. ”On June 22, the Military Commission of the Communist Party of China drafted a reply telegram, agreeing to the operational plan for the recovery of the three sides proposed by them on the 21st, pointing out:
"The enemy force on the three sides is strong, please pay attention to each break, concentrate all your efforts to destroy one or two regiments each time, and complete the task in more than a month."On June 30, ** telegraphed to Peng and Xi: "When you fight on the three sides, in addition to paying attention to attacking the fortifications, you should deploy strong forces to prepare to annihilate them when they escape." In addition, please note that you should concentrate on only one point in each battle, and then hit the second point when you succeed, even if it is a regiment. In this way, it is guaranteed that all annihilation will be guaranteed, and there will always be spare strength in their own hands, which will be enough to deal with unexpected situations."
From 29 May to 7 July, the Northwest Field Corps successively recovered Huanxian, Dingbian, Anbian, Jingbian, and other places, annihilated more than 2,400 troops under the command of Qinghai warlord Ma Bufang and Ningxia warlord Ma Hongkui, and ended the Longdong and Trilateral Campaigns.
On July 31, the Military Commission of the Communist Party of China decided that the field troops in the northwest were officially named the Northwest Field Army of the People's Liberation Army, with ** as commander, political commissar and former secretary of the party committee, Zhang Zongxun as deputy commander, ** as deputy political commissar, Zhang Wenzhou as chief of staff, and Xu Liqing as director of the Political Department.
