"This kind of boring thing is doomed to failure. ”In October 1948, Chiang Kai-shek sat in Beiping and attempted to attack the location of the CCP with 100,000 troops, and at this time, there were only more than 10,000 troops that could be called up immediately.
Chiang Kai-shek thought that he had the chance to win, but he did not panic at all when he heard the news, and directly staged an "empty city plan" for the enemy, and scared the enemy back with 4 radio scripts.
How, exactly, is this done?
On November 2, 1948, with the liberation of Shenyang, one of the three major battles, the Liaoshen Campaign, ended with the complete victory of our army.
As early as when Jinzhou was conquered, Chiang Kai-shek immediately rushed to Beiping, preparing for the war in North China, during which Chiang Kai-shek also accused Fu Zuoyi of not sending troops to reinforce Jinzhou, thinking that he would not save him if he saw death.
Fu Zuoyi didn't say much about this, after all, Lao Chiang is still the leader of the Kuomintang, and there are many Lao Chiang's ** troops in North China.
Of course, Chiang Kai-shek didn't say too much, after all, looking at the north of the Yangtze River at the moment, I am afraid that only Fu Zuoyi's troops have the strength to compete with our army, and Chiang Kai-shek still has to rely on Fu Zuoyi to help him fight.
In this way, the relationship between the two was relatively close, at least on the surface, and at the end of that year, Chiang Kai-shek and Fu Zuoyi discussed and jointly formulated a plan for a sneak attack on Shijiazhuang.
Because *** was here at that time, and because the main forces of our army were fighting in various places, the total strength of defending *** was more than 10,000 people.
Chiang Kai-shek was very excited after learning the news, in his opinion, if the sneak attack can be successful, so that the CCP ** paralyzed, then the situation on the entire battlefield is very likely to be reversed, and at that time, it is not yet known who will kill the deer.
Fu Zuoyi also felt that this matter was promising, after all, at that time, Jiang Fujun could immediately mobilize as many as 100,000 troops, 100,000 against 10,000, the advantage was in his hands, if he really succeeded, he would raise his head in front of Lao Jiang at that time.
In this way, the two hit it off, and the action began immediately.
On October 21, Fu Zuoyi signed an order, and the "Aid Jin Corps" was formally established, under the jurisdiction of the 94th Army of the ** Army, the 4th Cavalry Division of Fu Zuoyi, the 12th Cavalry Brigade, and later a division of the 101st Army, totaling more than 100,000 people.
On the 23rd, the reinforcement corps was assembled in Zhuo County, and immediately set off to the south, Fu Zuoyi in order to confuse our army, and also released the news that this trip was from Bao to the west to support Yan Xishan's operation, obviously, Fu Zuoyi wanted to attack the south in the west, but the troops had not yet set off, and there were countermeasures.
It turned out that although Fu Zuoyi had taken sufficient confidentiality measures before issuing the order, on October 24, our party still heard about the relevant situation, among them, there was one person who made Fu Zuoyi really unable to prevent it, that is, his daughter Fu Dongju, who joined our party early and provided us with a lot of valuable information.
Soon, the *** in Xibaipo Village, Shijiazhuang, received the information, at this time, there are indeed not many troops that can be called around, and Jiang and Fu are mostly mechanized troops, from Baoding to Shijiazhuang If you march at full speed, you can arrive in less than two days.
100,000 urgent, what should I do? Many comrades are anxious, because once they fail, the consequences will be unimaginable.
But *** is very calm, because the moment he saw the intelligence, he thought about singing an empty city plan, so how did *** do it?
He used only four radio transcripts.
The first letter was issued on October 25, before the main force of the enemy army arrived in Baoding.
In this broadcast, ** went straight to the point and directly wrote about the enemy's action that our side already knew: "Chiang Kai-shek and Fu bandits in Beiping acted as a rebel, vainly trying to raid Shijiazhuang and destroy people's lives and property. ”
Not only that, but ** also specially announced the number and line of action of the enemy, which made Lao Jiang's conspiracy public, and Fu Zuoyi was also surprised when he heard the broadcast.
Fu Zuoyi felt that he had superior forces and could still win, so he continued to order Zheng Tingfeng, the commander of the 94th Army, who was in charge of the front command, to continue to advance and arrived in Baoding on the 26th.
** also understood that relying on only a radio draft was far from enough to scare off the former anti-Japanese general Fu Zuoyi, so at dawn on the 27th, ** asked Xinhua News Agency to send a radio draft again.
In this draft, the first more specific point out the response plan of our military and civilians, and clearly pointed out that we will mobilize all forces to block the enemy's advance, and cooperate with the main force to wait for an opportunity to completely annihilate the enemy who dares to attack.
Not only that, but ** also pointed out that as early as May of this year, when Fu Zuoyi was preparing to jointly transfer troops with Yan Xishan's troops to the front line of Shijiazhuang, the military and civilians near Shijiazhuang had the experience of mobilization, and this time they were also able to make all preparations.
Just after the broadcast was issued, the vast numbers of soldiers and civilians hated the enemy, and actions such as laying mines, setting up obstacles, and clearing the fields on strong walls began one after another.
At this time, Fu Zuoyi was even more shaken, and even Zheng Tingfeng, who was commanding on the front line, did not dare to act blindly anymore, and directly sent a message to Fu Zuoyi: "I heard the radio yesterday and learned that the other party seemed to be vigilant against the army'......s attack on ShijiazhuangSince the other side has felt something, it must have been prepared, and the attack may not be effective......”
Fu Zuoyi was very entangled, if he continued to act, he might be empty, if the order was withdrawn, it would be difficult to explain to Chiang Kai-shek, and finally, after a day of repeated thinking, he issued an order for the troops to continue to march to Shijiazhuang, and he wanted to gamble on the last handful.
However, after the propaganda of the first two radio broadcasts, the Kuomintang front-line troops were already panicked, and under the stubborn resistance of our army's local troops and a small number of main forces, its vanguard troops advanced only 30 miles in one day.
** Knowing that the enemy army had fallen into decline, he continued to increase his efforts, and asked Xinhua News Agency to release the third broadcast on the 29th, this time only by mouth.
The draft clearly pointed out the specific movements and locations of the enemy's vanguard 20,000 troops, including the commanders of each unit, and then clearly stated: "The broad masses of the people have completed combat preparations and are waiting for the arrival of the enemy army, and cooperate with the regular army to annihilate the enemy on a large scale." ”
Not only that, but ** also sent the news that Zheng Tingai, the cousin of the enemy's front-line commander-in-chief, Kuomintang Lieutenant General Zheng Tingai, was killed in the Liaoshen Campaign.
At this time, Zheng Tingfeng, who had no hope of victory, was even more confused, and he immediately sent a telegram to Fu Zuoyi asking for evacuation on the grounds that his mother was seriously ill.
At this time, Chiang Kai-shek, seeing that the situation in North China was already in danger, chose to slip away again and returned to Nanjing, ** Seeing this, he decided to give the enemy the final blow.
On October 31, under the instructions of ***, Xinhua News Agency issued a fourth broadcast draft, titled "Commenting on Jiang Fu Bandits' Dream of Sneak Attack on Shijiazhuang", which can be described as imposing and very exciting.
** Pointed out Fu Zuoyi's weakness, that is, Beiping, for Fu Zuoyi, Beiping is the top priority, Fu Zuoyi saw that the matter had come to this, and he could only order a retreat, and the plan to attack Shijiazhuang came to naught.
** scared off 100,000 of the enemy's soldiers with four radio scripts, and his extraordinary tactical thinking is worthy of people's talk, however, ** has also emphasized that the key to this retreat from the enemy is not in the radio script, in the final analysis, it is the change in the strength of our army.
It turned out that although ** put forward an empty city plan, but at the same time it was also fully prepared, and after receiving the information of the enemy's mobilization, ** immediately ordered the main force of the North China Field Army to urgently move closer to the Shijiazhuang line.
At the same time, **also ordered ** to command part of the main force of the Northeast Field Army to go south and advance to the east of Hebei, creating a false impression of attacking Beiping at any time, and the militia near Shijiazhuang also made a big fanfare, constantly running back and forth with donkeys and horses to create the illusion that the army had arrived.
It can be said that since the end of the Liaoshen Campaign, the combat strength of our army in Jiangbei has far surpassed that of the Kuomintang army, and Fu Zuoyi's evacuation order is the right thing to do.
And even if Fu Zuoyi made a desperate choice, ** also made arrangements in advance, if the situation is urgent, ** will evacuate in an orderly manner according to the original plan, and Fu Zuoyi can only pounce at that time.
Of course, this empty city plan of the first * still won valuable time for the main force mobilization, and the important role it played is undoubted.
Soon after that, under the planning of ***, Fu Zuoyi finally lost his way, Beiping ushered in the peaceful liberation, and this thousand-year-old capital was completely preserved.
