years, ** bitter criticismCorps, fear of sequelae
In the War of Liberation, the Fu Zuoyi group became a thorn in the side of the Central Plains People's Liberation Army, and with the withdrawal of the Kuomintang troops in Jinxi, Huludao and Chengde from November 9 to 12, 1948, the entire territory of Northeast China was liberated.
However, the smoke of the war of liberation did not dissipate. Under the wise leadership of the Northeast, the Northeast Field Army was ready to meet new battles at any time. After the end of the Liaoshen Campaign, the Chief of the General Staff reminded *** that there were still four remaining strategic groups of the Kuomintang in the country, and we should encircle them on the spot as soon as possible to avoid future troubles.
** said decisively: "Fu Zuoyi can't be allowed to escape, before the Dongye army enters the customs, we must try our best to stabilize Fu Zuoyi." Therefore, ** first ordered the 3rd Corps of North China to withdraw from the siege and return to Sui, then ordered the 1st Corps of North China to stop attacking Taiyuan, and finally ordered Huaye to encircle Du Yuming without fighting, so as not to frighten Fu Zuoyi and make him prematurely make him decide to retreat west or south.
Fu Zuoyi started in the military, regarded Suiyuan as his "dragon xing" place, most of his descendants are Suiyuan people, once he leaves his homeland and retreats to the south of the Yangtze River, he will be like a "tiger lost in the forest", "a dragon out of the sea", sooner or later will be swallowed up by Chiang Kai-shek.
From this point of view, he would not listen to Chiang Kai-shek's arrangement for a southward retreat. However, a premature withdrawal to the west would mean voluntarily relinquishing command of the 200,000 Chiang-affiliated troops, which would be difficult for a warlord who had made a military career to give up.
Following the advice of the Americans and holding on to Pingjintang may end up similar to the destruction of the Liaoshen army. Fu Zuoyi thought about it and finally chose to be lucky, he thought that it was impossible for the Northeast Field Army to enter the customs in a short period of time, so he decided to hold on to Pingjintang for a few more months, hoping to get more assistance from the United States.
While waiting for the Northeast Field Army, he can also regroup and wait for an opportunity to counterattack.
At 23 o'clock, ** breathed a sigh of relief, and through Lin Luo Liu, Cheng Huang, Yang Luogeng, Yang Li and Nie Bo, he spoke highly of the actions of each department. "These are things to celebrate and commend," he said. ”
After the telegram was sent, ** said to *** with some guilt: "I just criticized Yang Chengwu, Yang Dezhi, and Cheng Zihua very badly, and they may feel very nervous.
I hope they don't hold a grudge against me for that. ”
