On August 12, 1949, the North China Field Army of the Chinese People's Liberation Army came to Lanzhou City and fought a decisive battle with the old rival "Ma Jiajun".
Previously, the chairman sent a telegram to the commander of ***, making a rare request: the "Ma Jiajun" must be completely annihilated and their surrender must not be accepted, so as to comfort the soldiers who were brutally killed by the "Ma Jiajun".
In the War of Liberation, while our army severely attacked the vital forces of the Kuomintang troops, it still pointed out the way out for them, as long as they stopped resisting and let go, the PLA would give them different degrees of preferential treatment.
Commander of the Northwest Field Army.
However, if the Kuomintang army stubbornly resists to the end, there is only one result waiting for them - "clean and complete annihilation!" ”
The "Ma Jiajun", who has done a lot of evil and has a lot of blood debts, belongs to this kind of stubborn enemy.
Under the command of Mr. Peng, the Northwest Field Army of our People's Liberation Army resolutely carried out the order of the first class, fought bloodily, and completely annihilated more than 30,000 people of the "Ma Family Army" at the cost of sacrificing 8,700 people, and completely defeated this stubborn enemy.
Ma Jiajun "is the old enemy of our Northwest Field Army, the two armies have clashed many times over the years, this time the new and old hatreds are settled together, our Northwest Field Army not only liberated Lanzhou, but also avenged the blood revenge of the sacrificed comrades.
If we want to talk about "old hatred", it should be the heinous crimes and blood debts committed by the "Ma Jiajun" against our workers' and peasants' Red Army.
In October 1936, as soon as the Western Route Army of the Chinese Workers' and Peasants' Red Army crossed the Yellow River, it was attacked by the "Ma Army".
The fierce cavalry of the Ma Family's Army.
Due to the advantages of the "Ma Family Army" in terms of troops, terrain, and equipment, and a large number of fierce and ferocious cavalry units, the Red Army's Western Route Army fought alone, and finally ran out of ammunition and food, and suffered a miserable defeat.
This is an extremely tragic chapter in the history of China's revolutionary war.
The 21,800 heroes of the Red Army's Western Route Army were huge, with more than 7,000 killed and 12,000 captured. Of these, 6,000 were captured and killed, and only about 400 managed to break through ......
Ma Jiajun's methods of mutilating the captured Red Army were extremely cruel, including burying them alive, shooting them, burning them, picking up their hearts, taking their gall, and cutting their tongues.
Some captured female soldiers of the Red Army were ** or re-sold, Sun Yuqing, the commander of the Red Ninth Army, was hacked to death by the "Ma Jiajun" broadsword, and the Xiong Houfa division commander of the Red 30th Army was tied to the cannon barrel by the "Ma Jiajun" and bombarded to death ......
The old ** soldier of the Western Route Army who was brutalized by the Ma Jiajun.
Ma Jiajun's hatefulness is also manifested in another aspect, that is, unscrupulous, insidious and cunning.
During the War of Liberation, the "Ma Jiajun" acted as Chiang Kai-shek's vanguard and pawn of the civil war.
In the contest with the "Ma Jiajun," our Northwest Field Army suffered several defeats, several of which were defeated, and the main reason was that it was "deceived."
It turned out that the "Ma Jiajun" had thoroughly pondered our army's policy of "giving preferential treatment to prisoners," and they took advantage of our army's benevolence to devise deception on many occasions, causing our officers and men to suffer heavy losses and casualties.
At the beginning of 1947, at Taibai'ao in Heshui, the troops of our Northwest Field Army divided into two routes and surrounded a cavalry unit of the "Majia Army" of several hundred people.
Ma Jiajun's "cavalry" saw that the People's Liberation Army was overwhelmed and that they had no way out, so they resorted to a "trick of deception".
They threw their guns on the ground, raised their hands high, and made the appearance of surrendering to the PLA.
Old** War of Liberation.
The officers and men of the People's Liberation Army did not know what to do, and they lacked knowledge of cavalry, so they hurried over to receive the surrender of the enemy cavalry, without asking the enemy to immediately dismount or to lay down their swords.
However, when the PLA soldiers approached the enemy, the cavalry of the "Ma Jiajun" suddenly drew out the saber they carried with them, and launched a counter-charge against the PLA by slapping their horses.
The officers and men of the People's Liberation Army were caught off guard and were soon killed and wounded.
By the time the PLA fraternal troops arrived in the distance, the cavalry of the "Ma Jiajun" had already run away without a trace.
The Second Regiment of the PLA Teaching Brigade also suffered a similar incident.
In a battle against the cavalry units of the "Ma Jiajun", the officers and men of the 2nd Regiment forced the enemy to retreat to a huge cave.
Old** War of Liberation.
Just when the Second Regiment prepared explosives and was about to blast the cave, several soldiers of the "Ma Family Army" appeared at the entrance of the cave with white flags in their hands.
The officers and men of the Second Regiment did not know that there was any deception, and sent a company of dozens of soldiers to approach the cave and prepare to surrender.
Suddenly, the Kuomintang soldiers holding white flags flashed to both sides, and more than 200 cavalry of the "Ma Family Army" came out of the cave and killed them.
The PLA soldiers were caught off guard, and more than a dozen soldiers were trampled down by horses on the spot, and more than 30 PLA officers and soldiers died under the enemy's sabers.
I taught the officers and men of the 2nd Regiment of the Brigade to be furious and fight back.
Although the 2nd Regiment held its defensive position, the cavalry of the "Ma Family Army" broke through the encirclement and retreated.
This is really "an old hatred that has not been extinguished, and a new hatred has been added".
The officers and men of our Northwest Field Army hated the "Ma Family Army" to the core, and they swore that they would pay their blood debts and blood to annihilate the "Ma Family Army" and take revenge!
In the face of the cruel lesson, the officers and men of our Northwest Field also have a clear understanding of the opponent of the "Ma Jiajun": This is a group of outlaws who have lost their natural principles and humanity and are extremely vicious!
The second from the right is the commander of ***.
We absolutely cannot tolerate mercy towards such an enemy, otherwise we will be disregarding the lives of the fighters and extremely irresponsible for the revolutionary cause.
not to accept surrender", that means to continue fighting until the enemy loses the ability to fight, and finally destroys the enemy!
