In May 1947, the East China Field Army, under the command of ** and Su Yu, launched a thrilling battle in the Menglianggu area. In this battle, the East China Field Army successfully defeated the Kuomintang army with fewer victories and more victories.

The intensity of the Menglianggu battle can be seen from the course of the battle. After the start of the campaign, the East China Field Army quickly occupied the Menglianggu Mountains and cut off the retreat of the Kuomintang army. The besieged Kuomintang army began to fight back frantically, trying to break through. The two sides fought to the death, the trees on the mountain were cut down, the rocks were blown to pieces, and every inch of the land was stained red with blood.
According to the memories of the local people, at that time, the Menglianggu mountain area was filled with gunpowder smoke and the sound of artillery shook the sky, day and night. At the end of the battle, the trees on the mountain were cut down, the rocks were blown to pieces, and corpses and severed arms were scattered everywhere. The magnitude of this battle is shocking.
However, the fierceness of this battle is much more than that. According to local people, after the battle, a large number of ownerless corpses appeared on the mountain. Some of these corpses were soldiers of the East China Field Army, some were soldiers of the Kuomintang Army, and some were innocent people. Due to the fierce fighting, both sides could not collect the corpses in time, so they could only be exposed to the mountains.
The appearance of these ownerless corpses has caused great fear among the local people. Fearing that the corpses would pose a threat to them, they fled the Menglianggu Mountains one after another, not daring to go up again. According to the local people, they did not dare to go up the mountain for three years after the end of the war, and did not dare to return to life in the mountain until the East China Field Army cleaned up the battlefield.
The tragic extent of the battle of Menglianggu can be seen from this. This battle not only caused the East China Field Army to pay a huge price, but also caused the local people to suffer greatly. However, the victory in this battle also laid the foundation for the victory of the East China Field Army in the Shandong battlefield and contributed to the founding of New China.
