As Mr. Zhu personally went out to rectify the North China Military Region and reorganized the North China Field Corps with Yang Dezhi as its commander, from the second half of 1947 to the spring of 1948, Fu Zuoyi, who thought he was invincible in the world and invincible, suffered successive defeats on the North China battlefield.
Especially in the Battle of Laishui in January 1948, Fu Zuoyi's descendant of the 35th Army suffered a heavy blow, and his favorite general, Lu Yinglin, the commander of the 35th Army, committed suicide in shame because of the defeat, which made Fu Zuoyi heartbroken and at a loss.
At the beginning of April, the North China Field Army attacked Yanggao, Guangling, and other places with the strength of five columns, and because he was afraid that he would be surrounded by the People's Liberation Army to send troops to help, Fu Zuoyi thought twice and decided to adopt the strategy of "encircling Wei and saving Zhao" and sent cavalry units to surprise attack the Jizhong Military Region, the logistics supply base of the North China People's Liberation Army.
Fu Zuoyi since the Suiyuan period focused on training cavalry troops, in the battle against the Japanese invaders repeatedly made meritorious contributions, and later the Liberation War broke out, and its cavalry troops adopted the method of long-distance running, and in one fell swoop took Zhangjiakou, the capital of the Jin-Cha-Ji Liberated Zone, so the department has always been regarded by Fu Zuoyi as the capital of the bottom of the box.
On the morning of April 11, Fu Zuoyi's commander of the 12th Cavalry Brigade of Fu Zuoyi's department, E Yousan, led more than 1,000 cavalry to set off lightly and directly took the location of the headquarters of the Jizhong Military Region at that time, Heima Zhangzhuang (in present-day Hejian City, Cangzhou City).
Because the three units of Hubei took the inaccessible path, the surprise attack was very sudden, so the PLA was caught off guard, they first defeated the independent battalion of the Jizhong Military Region in charge of defense, and then continued to penetrate, crisscrossing the hinterland of the North China Military Region as if it were no one.
As a result of this raid, more than 300 PLA personnel were killed, more than 100 were captured, 300,000 kilograms of grain were burned, a large amount of grain was looted, and the military region's arsenal, repair shop, clothing factory, horse feed factory, bookstore, and alcohol manufacturing plant were seriously damaged. Even the pot where Sun Yi, the commander of the Jizhong Military Region, was eating, was smashed.
What's even more infuriating is that E Yousan's troops did not lose a single person, only one war horse. In desperation, the North China Field Army could only urgently send the 4 columns of troops on the front line.
At the same time, E Yousan also found a house prepared in advance by the Jizhong Military Region for ***, and he arrogantly left a letter in the bedroom: "I haven't visited yet, and you and others boast of the old nest with iron walls, which has been destroyed by ** today, and will visit at any time in the future." ”
The losses of both sides in this battle are simply incredible, and it can be called a great shame for the North China Military Region, especially the three friends of Hubei who tossed for two or three days and no one could stop them, and they also took a video to go back and hype it up, and they were very angry, and seriously criticized the North China Military Region and the Jizhong Military Region for this.
In January 1949, Beiping was peacefully liberated, and in September, under Fu Zuoyi, Dong Qiwu, then chairman of Suiyuan Province, announced the Suiyuan Uprising and led his troops to accept the reorganization.
On November 25, 1950, the North China Military Region arrested E Yousan on charges of secretly conspiring with Kuomintang agents to commit rebellion, and then executed him at the overpass outside Yongdingmen in Beijing.
