The old farmer pointed out, and Su Yu and Meng Lianggu won the battle
In the Battle of Menglianggu, when Su Yu was in trouble, he was inspired by a peasant and successfully defeated Zhang Lingfu! Text |Yu Shi Tan Jin edited |In 1947, the Battle of Menglianggu broke out.
At first, the Kuomintang troops behaved very cunningly, making it difficult for our troops to attack effectively. At this time, our army was extremely anxious, and Su Yu, as the commander of the unit, was also troubled by this, and stayed up all night discussing combat strategies with the cadres in the army.
However, just when Su Yu was helpless, an ordinary old farmer appeared to help him clear the clouds. The old farmer's words made Su Yumao pause, and he immediately adjusted his strategy and successfully defeated Zhang Lingfu.
So, what did this nameless old farmer tell Su Yu? What did he learn from it?
In 1947, Su Yu commanded troops stationed in Shandong, preparing for a counterattack against the Kuomintang. However, Huaye was at a disadvantage at that time, and the situation was favorable to the Kuomintang.
In order to solve this problem, many local villagers have donated food and materials to support the Huaye troops. One afternoon, an old farmer came to the Huaye headquarters to deliver water with a burden, and happened to meet Su Yu on the way, who was motivating the soldiers.
Su Yu was deeply moved to see the local villagers supporting the army so much. He immediately started talking to the old farmer who had come to deliver water. The old farmer's words solved the doubts that plagued Su Yu's heart.
Faced with the predicament in front of him, Su Yu looked worried. The old farmer looked at him and suddenly said, "You know what? I've been having a fishing problem lately, the big fish have no interest in normal bait, and if you want to catch them, you'll need to take out your own lard.
But that's not enough, you have to pay full attention when fishing, and if you are distracted, the big fish will slip away, and I will only be hungry today. Although the old farmer was just chatting casually, Su Yu saw the plight of the troops.
The big fish in the old peasant's mouth was like the cunning Kuomintang troops, and he himself was the fisherman. However, unlike the old peasant, he and his team are currently unable to give their full attention, and the bait thrown before has not allowed the Kuomintang to take the bait.
If you want to defeat the Kuomintang in one fell swoop, you need to calm down and throw a bait that the Kuomintang cannot resist.
As soon as he thought of this, Su Yu immediately became enlightened, and the confusion that had plagued him for many days was also swept away. So, he immediately convened an operational meeting and decided to use the Huaye Command as a bait to lure ** into the bait.
For **, the Huaye Command is a very attractive target, once the command is controlled, it is equivalent to controlling the entire battle situation. In this regard, Su Yu is convinced that ** will fall into his trap.
After the plan was determined, Su Yu began to observe the main force of **, and finally found that the biggest threat to Huaye was the 74th Division led by Zhang Lingfu.
This unit was extraordinary, once known as the best elite division, and was one of the five main forces of the Kuomintang, comparable to Chiang Kai-shek's personal guards. The reorganized 74th Division was born after the reorganization in 1946.
This unit was formed in 1937 to support the Battle of Songhu. In the Battle of Luojiadian, the 74th Division annihilated more than 300 Japanese troops in one fell swoop, including a Japanese squadron leader, and became famous in World War I.
In the victory of Wanjialing in 1938, the 74th Division, as the main force, led by Zhang Lingfu, fought fiercely with the Japanese army. In this battle, the 74th Division annihilated a total of 1 enemy troopsMore than 20,000 people.
After the war, due to its outstanding performance, the 74th Division was awarded the "No. 1 Army, Sea and Air Martial Arts Certificate", demonstrating its unparalleled combat effectiveness.
In 1941, in the Battle of Shanggao, the 74th Division once again achieved brilliant results and annihilated the enemyMore than 50,000 people, many of the Japanese army suffered heavy losses. As a result, the 74th Division won high praise from the outside world, and was recognized as the most combat-effective unit, and was even called the "First Terror Army" by the Japanese army.
In less than two years, the 74th Division won four "Flying Tiger Flags" in a row, three of which were obtained in the Battle of Changde, and the other came from the last general battle of the Anti-Japanese War "President Xiangxi".
Although the 74th Division is not the most senior, it has won a reputation by virtue of its own strength and deservedly became Lao Chiang's "Imperial Forest Army".
Huaye will inevitably encounter some obstacles when he confronts such a powerful force.
Under Su Yu's sharp observation, he realized that the **74th Division was the biggest threat to our army, and Zhang Lingfu was deploying troops to prepare to attack our army. Faced with this situation, Su Yu did not panic, but found problems within the 74th Division, so he decided to design a "decoy" to change the tide of the battle.
On the surface, Zhang Lingfu's 74th Division had a lot of reinforcements, but in fact, due to Zhang Lingfu's arrogance, he made too many enemies within the Kuomintang. So Su Yu skillfully took advantage of this internal disagreement and asserted that the 74th Division would face difficulties, and the support of other ** troops would also encounter problems.
And our army can take this opportunity to attack back and forth, trap Zhang Lingfu in it, and annihilate it in one fell swoop. Su Yu can understand the hearts of the enemy in a short period of time, and he is really a "god of war".
Before the implementation of the plan, Su Yu specially gave instructions to ***, ** expressed his confidence in this and encouraged him to do it boldly. Affirmed by the chairman, Su Yu's confidence doubled.
In order to lure Zhang Lingfu into taking the bait, Su Yu deliberately leaked the location of Huaye's headquarters. Although there was a huge risk of exposing the command headquarters to the enemy, this was Huaye's only chance to turn the tables.
Fortunately, Zhang Lingfu did not see through Su Yu's plan, and led the army straight to the Huaye headquarters. Our army shifted its positions according to the predetermined plan, and constantly deliberately leaked information, so that ** was exhausted from the more than 1,000-mile raid.
Su Yu's long-range raid on the 74th Division completely reversed the tide of the battle between the two sides, causing ** to fall into anxiety and confusion, and make mistakes one after another. However, they did not realize that this was a well-planned ploy by the PLA.
Chen Cheng, the leader of the "Department of Civil Engineering", believes that the PLA is retreating and advocates pursuit. He reported Huaye's movements to Chiang Kai-shek, but the latter did not take it seriously and blindly ordered a pursuit, trying to completely annihilate Huaye.
It was Chiang Kai-shek's rash decision that gave the PLA the opportunity to continue implementing the plan.
Under the orders of Chiang Kai-shek, Zhang Lingfu launched an attack on our army. On May 12, 1947, the 74th Division led by Zhang Lingfu launched an offensive against the Tangbu area under the cover of friendly forces.
Seeing that ** was the first to attack, Su Yu ordered Huaye to resist head-on. The two sides formally exchanged fire on the 13th, but the tide of the battle had changed. After thousands of miles of mobilization of our army, ** has been exhausted, and logistics supplies are also stretched, and our army took the opportunity to capture ** many fortresses.
At this time, Zhang Lingfu also realized the seriousness of the situation and hurriedly led his army to retreat in the direction of Meng Lianggu. But any effort is too late.
In the Battle of Menglianggu, Su Yu led Huaye to adopt flexible tactics and tactics and successfully disintegrated the enemy's combat effectiveness. When the 74th Division arrived at Menglianggu, Su Yu decisively stopped the attack and turned to thinking about how to defeat Zhang Lingfu.
In the process, an airdrop from ** gave him inspiration. Lao Chiang's airdrops are usually based on ***, but this time the 74th Division received pure water. This means that Zhang Lingfu's troops are seriously short of water, and the 74th Division is mostly equipped with American-style equipment, which needs water as power.
Therefore, Su Yu deduced that the combat effectiveness of the 74th Division could be greatly weakened. After learning this information, Hua Ye did not hesitate to launch a charge against Meng Lianggu.
With such an advantage, our army quickly compressed the 74th Division into a small position. At this time, Chiang Kai-shek once again sent planes to drop supplies, but most of the supplies fell to our army's positions, which made the morale of ** instantly low.
Then, Su Yu brought in mountain artillery and launched a fierce attack on the hiding place of the 74th Division, further destroying their fortifications. In this battle, Su Yu, with his outstanding wisdom and courageous actions, successfully cracked the enemy's strategy, defeated Zhang Lingfu, and won the victory in the Battle of Menglianggu.
In the Battle of Menglianggu, after fierce fighting, the battle finally came to an end on the morning of May 16. In this battle, Zhang Lingfu was killed, and the 74th Division led by him was completely annihilated.
When Chiang Kai-shek learned of this, he fell into deep confusion, and he kept recounting the past and back of the battle, but in any case could not understand why his elite troops had ended up in such a situation.
In the end, he could only reluctantly say: "This is the most painful and regrettable battle since the Civil War." After the war, Tang Enbo, commander of the ** First Corps, Huang Baitao, commander of the 25th Division, and Li Tianxia, commander of the 83rd Division, were all dismissed from their posts by Chiang Kai-shek because of the war.
This battle also laid the foundation for our army to liberate the whole country.
