On July 6, 1948, the Battle of Eastern Henan had entered its climax, but what was puzzling was that just when the Kuomintang army was about to be surrounded and the whole army was about to be annihilated, Su Yu, who was known as General Chang Sheng, issued an unreasonable order, that is, Mingjin to withdraw his troops!
Why is that? There are two reasons for this, one is that after this battle, our army's ** is really too serious, a full 30,000 soldiers spilled blood on the spot, Su Yu really can't bear to continue to use human lives to "fill the battlefield", and the other is the enemy's tricks, Su Yu was confident that he would completely annihilate Qiu Qingquan's department, but who knew that Huang Baitao was killed halfway, which made him have to change his plan and choose to give up at the last moment.
However, even so, the winner of the Battle of Eastern Henan is still our army, the battle loss ratio of 90,000 and 30,000, there is no doubt that this is a big victory, but what Su Yu didn't expect is that in this regard, the consistent generosity *** chose to remain silent, and even the telegram was not sent in person, but chose to let *** ghostwrite!
So what's going on here? Why are you still dissatisfied after winning the battle, and what are the details of this battle?
Lure Qiu Qingquan
Of course, the root of this matter is complicated, if we want to sort it out, then we still need to start with the military order set up by Su Yu.
In the middle of 1948, the balance between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party in the Liberation War at this time had quietly tilted, and anyone with a discerning eye could see that the victory of the Communist People's Liberation Army was just around the corner, and the defeat of Lao Chiang was a matter of time.
However, having said that, how to implement it is still a difficult problem, for easy reasons, the Kuomintang is rotten, but their million-strong army is not vegetarian, and there are many generals who can fight, and it is obviously unrealistic to want to eat them in one fell swoop.
Therefore, in order to achieve the strategic goal of liberating the whole country as soon as possible, after thinking about it again and again, he sent an order to Su Yu in Puyang, that is, I hope he can follow the tactics of advancing into Dabie Mountain and lead the main force of the East China Field Army to the south of the Yangtze River to smash Huanglong!
I have to say that from God's point of view, there is still a high probability that the instructor's strategy can succeed, even if it cannot be fatal with one blow, it is not difficult to turn the Kuomintang army upside down, but to his surprise, Su Yu himself raised objections to this, and it is still a very strong opposition.
As for the reason, it is also very simple, firstly, Su Yu's intelligence network came with news, and found that the Kuomintang army in the Jiangnan area had already been prepared, and it was very likely that he would end up surrounded and annihilated by rashly attacking, and secondly, he had a more secure method, that is, to fight several large-scale annihilation battles in the Central Plains, first wipe out the enemy in the north, and then turn the gun and go straight to Jiangnan!
Hearing this, ** also realized his lack of consideration, so he readily agreed to Su Yu's idea, not only that, but he also personally selected an enemy for Su Yu in the first battle, that is, Qiu Qingquan's Fifth Army, the most powerful Kuomintang army in the Central Plains!
If you want to fight, you can fight the elite! Su Yu naturally has no reason to refuse, but as the saying goes, everything is easier said than done, and when it comes to formulating a battle plan, Su Yu has made a difficulty, and the reason is very easy, first, the strength of the enemy and us is almost the same, if it is hard, it is really difficult to say who wins and who loses, and second, the area around eastern Henan is all the elite troops of the Kuomintang, if it really storms Qiu Qingquan and falls into anxiety, it is very likely to be attacked by the enemy from many sides.
Considering these factors, Su Yuna is in a dilemma, you must know that he just promised *** to fight a painful war of annihilation on his front foot, but now he is not sure of victory, isn't this a shame to be thrown to his grandmother's house?
In desperation, Su Yu had no choice but to retreat and choose another battle plan, that is, to feint Kaifeng to lure Qiu Qingquan's Fifth Army to come to support, and then take advantage of its unpreparedness to use movement warfare to annihilate them all!
The plan is also a good plan, but Su Yu did not report it to **, but continued to pass on the previous "hard-hitting" plan, as for why it is inconvenient to say more here, everyone just needs to know that Su Yu is a person with high emotional intelligence.
Qiu Maniac lives up to his name!
In order to liberate the whole country as soon as possible, Su Yu was ordered to prepare to stir up the storm on the land of the Central Plains, and the elite of Huaye poured out of the nest, vowing to cut Qiu Qingquan's Fifth Army under the horse! But what is surprising is that his plan was discovered by Qiu Qingquan, and Qiu Madman's nickname is really well deserved!
First of all, let's introduce Qiu Qingquan's background, born in 1902, he is slightly older than Su Yu, and his combat experience is much more than Su Yu, as a graduate of the second phase of the Whampoa Military Academy, he studied at the German Army University before the Anti-Japanese War, and after the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War in 1937, he resolutely devoted himself to the war against the invaders.
In the eight years of the Anti-Japanese War, Qiu Qingquan made countless achievements, especially in the Battle of Kunlun Pass, he defeated the elite wing of the Japanese army in one fell swoop and killed the Japanese major general Nakamura Masao.
Later, after the victory of the Anti-Japanese War and the outbreak of the Liberation War, Qiu Qingquan was also a model for other ** troops, and fought with our army several times in the Central Plains without suffering, and even fought a few victories in the Kuomintang army.
Not only that, the Fifth Army under Qiu Qingquan is also the elite of the elite, the guns and artillery are the same American, motorized and mechanized equipment are the standard equipment of most divisions and regiments, coupled with the superiority of more than 200,000 troops, it is really a headache for our army on the battlefield.
Of course, this is also the reason why *** ordered Su Yu to fight Qiu Qingquan first no matter what, after all, if he is always allowed to go on like this, it will also affect the morale of our army.
Getting back to the battlefield, after formulating a plan against Qiu Qingquan's Fifth Army, Su Yu was confident on the surface, but he was always unstable behind his back, always afraid that his plan would be seen through by Qiu Qingquan, and then he lost his wife and his army.
However, worries are concerns, tactically Su Yu still did not waver, Huaye's main force was still advancing at full speed, heading towards Kaifeng, but just when the troops were about to arrive at the target area, a piece of news came that made his heart tremble, that is, Qiu Qingquan's troops were gathering troops, and more than 200,000 people were waiting for them, obviously they had seen through their own plan!
Not only that, Qiu Qingquan did not give up supporting Kaifeng, or called for friendly troops to come to help, his intention was very simple, that is, he wanted to fight Su Yu with real swords and guns, and see who was the well-deserved "winning general"!
Qiu Qingquan's arrogance is obvious, 250,000 against more than 200,000, the strength of the two sides is infinitely close to 1:1, who wins and who loses is really no one to judge in advance, so in this case, how did Su Yu defeat such a strong enemy?
What many people didn't expect was that Su Yu finally chose a surprise way of playing, that is, he took the initiative to give up the confrontation with the Fifth Army, and instead aimed at Kaifeng City, which was originally scheduled to be a feint!
As for why the formation changed so much, the reason is not difficult to understand, on the one hand, according to the report of the feint attack troops, the troops in Kaifeng City are extremely weak, and if you throw away the local militia and security regiments, there are only 10,000 regular troops, on the other hand, he knows very well that there must be a fierce battle with Qiu Qingquan, and if he can rely on Kaifeng City at this time, the odds of victory will definitely be much greater, on the contrary, the enemy's more than 10,000 defenders will also play a decisive role when necessary!
The battle to liberate Kaifeng was carried out in this way, and it turned out that Su Yu's judgment was not wrong, and he took the capital of Henan Province in only 4 days!
Here, our army was overjoyed, but on the other side, Lao Jiang was angry, seeing that the international ** was in an uproar, he immediately called Qiu Qingquan, first scolded, and then asked him to recapture Kaifeng at all costs, and quickly!
Hearing the news, it was Qiu Qingquan's turn to have a headache this time, after all, he had already made a plan in advance, that is, to fight Su Yu in the vast plain area, and now the sub-group's charge turned into a tough battle, not to mention that the difficulty increased several times, and all plans were overturned.
At this time, Qiu Qingquan wanted to replace Lao Jiang with a wise leader like ***, but there was no way, who made him choose the wrong camp in the first place? Coupled with his confidence in his troops, he had no choice but to transfer his troops from the north to the south, and contacted friendly troops, hoping to recapture the provincial capital together!
Qiu Qingquan and Su Yu can be regarded as turning the entire Central Plains into a pot of porridge, and the local troops are either on the way to reinforcements or are fighting to block the attack, so that the two sides have been stalemate for a long time and still have not launched a decisive battle.
This situation has been going on for many days, seeing this situation, Su Yu is also very anxious, after all, this is the enemy's home field, and it is very likely to be besieged if it drags on like this, fortunately, at this critical moment, a clever plan emerged, very simple and only one sentence, that is, to temporarily give up Kaifeng and lead Qiu Qingquan to take the bait!
Sure enough, forced by Lao Jiang's order, Qiu Qingquan, who knew that it was a trap, still plunged into it, but what Su Yu didn't expect was that the people who came were not only Qiu Qingquan himself, but also Hu Lian, Sun Yuanliang, Liu Ruming, Ou Shounian and others were all attracted by this bait.
Good guy, in order to grab credit, these Kuomintang generals really spared no effort, and this also made Su Yu fall into a crisis again, and now there seems to be only one road in front of him, that is, to retreat in time and give up launching the Eastern Henan Campaign, but obviously, he did not do this, but once again conceived a trick, that is, kill the chickens and monkeys, break them one by one, use the time difference to fight Ou Shounian first, and then eat Qiu Qingquan in one fell swoop!
Once again, there was a spoiler
The situation of the battle in eastern Henan is really confusing, before the start of the fight, the commanders of both sides staged a good show of changing formations, predicting again and again, breaking the situation again and again, this battle is really exciting, but fortunately, in the end, Su Yu was slightly better, and one move to kill the chickens and monkeys, one by one, the situation was reversed in an instant, but is it really that simple?
Obviously, the answer is still no, and the reason is very simple, that is, Su Yu's plan has once again encountered a spoiler, that is, Huang Baitao's corps!
At first, Su Yu's plan to attack Ou Shounian went well, and the battle entered a climax as soon as it began, and he believed that he would be able to make a contribution in less than five days, and then he could go and clean up the Fifth Army.
So what is Qiu Qingquan doing at the same time? What is surprising is that he is actually waiting, without any intention of rescuing the Shou Nian in the rescue area, but wants to wait for the rest of the friendly forces to arrive, and then attack Su Yubu together.
As for the reason, it is not difficult to understand, on the one hand, Qiu Qingquan is worried that Su Yu has an ambush, as long as he goes to the rescue, he will be ambushed immediately, on the other hand, the relationship between Ou Shounian and Qiu Qingquan is not good, and the latter cannot take the risk to rescue.
According to this posture, the annihilation of the entire Ou Shounian Corps has become a sure thing, but who knew that at this critical moment, a group of strange soldiers suddenly entered the battlefield.
That's right, this is the new formation led by Huang Baitao!
And when it comes to this, I believe that some people will question it, thinking that Huang Baitao is a famous Kuomintang general and has been active in the Central Plains battlefield, how can he be regarded as a miracle soldier when he came to the rescue, how could Su Yu not expect it?
In fact, Su Yu can't be blamed for this, it's really unreasonable for Huang Baitao to appear, the reason is very easy, first, he was still fighting with Xu Shiyou in Yanzhou a few days ago, and secondly, the troops in Huang Baitao's hands have always been only one division, how could he suddenly conjure up a corps?
It turns out that there are two roots of Huang Baitao's arrival, one is that he has an excellent relationship with Gu Zhutong, and Gu Zhutong received Lao Jiang's strict order, and he must rescue the Ou Shounian Department, he pleaded Huang Baitao could only agree, so he withdrew from the Yanzhou battlefield overnight and rushed straight to the direction of Kaifeng.
The other is that Huang Baitao is eager for meritorious service, and wants to be promoted and make a fortune, the ** from the division commander to the corps commander is too big, although most of the current corps are patchwork miscellaneous troops, but Gu Zhutong has already given a promise, that is, after the war, he will hand over the elite troops of Ou Shounian to him, and let him completely sit in the position of the corps commander!
In this way, Huang Baitao became a strange soldier, he himself is full of confidence, and he is absolutely sure that he can eat Su Yu in one fell swoop, but unfortunately, Su Yu is not a vegetarian, seeing Huang Baitao ruining his plan, he immediately issued an order in anger, that is, let the remnants of Ou Shounian escape, turn the gun and attack Huang Baitao with all his might, and make this guy have no return!
Good guy, up to now, Su Yu's attack targets have changed three, such decisiveness, such courage, it is really difficult for ordinary people to compare, of course, this is only one aspect, the hard power of my Huaye soldiers is also the key, many days of fighting, many days of tossing and turning, I am afraid that the general army has long been exhausted, but they are not, not only defeated Ou Shounian, but also did not fall behind in the face of Huang Baitao's corps.
Such an elite soldier and strong general** can be compared to Huang Baitao's miscellaneous fish? Therefore, the battle only lasted for three days, and Huang Baitao's troops fell into a rout, and it can be said that if it weren't for the elite of his own department, the morale of the army might have been weakened long ago.
But even so, Huang Baitao couldn't support it for a few days, and the annihilation of the whole army was obviously a foregone conclusion, but what no one expected was that at this time, Su Yu actually chose Mingjin to withdraw his troops, so why is this?
In fact, it's no wonder that Su Yu wants to withdraw, it's really too big for the troops to fight for a month, plus the Kuomintang reinforcements are already close at hand, if Huang Baitao doesn't withdraw, he can kill, but the elite of Huaye may also be buried with him.
This is the reason why Su Yu chose to withdraw his troops at a critical moment and let Huang Baitao go, as for why *** is dissatisfied, it is easy to understand, because although it is a victory, it is too different from the results promised by Su Yu before, the greater the expectation, the greater the disappointment, and it is reasonable for his old man to be a little displeased, isn't it?
