Report on the liberation of Jinzhou.
On October 15, 1948, with the liberation of Jinzhou, an important town in western Liaoning, the land passage of 550,000 Kuomintang troops in the northeast who withdrew to Guannai through the western Liaoning corridor was completely blocked. The news spread to Changchun, which was lonely in the north, and the 100,000 defenders stationed in the city were completely discouraged, and they were able to support themselves since June 1948 after being besieged, hoping that Chiang Kai-shek could transfer reinforcements from Guannai and join the troops of Jinzhou and Shenyang to go north to relieve the siege, but this time the reinforcements could not be counted on at all, and the food in the city had already been exhausted, and the defenders in the city had to calculate their own back roads.
Zeng Zesheng, commander of the 60th Army.
The military command was incorporated into the 60th Army
In particular, Zeng Zesheng's 60th Army stationed in the eastern urban area of the city, they were originally transferred from the southwest of the Yunnan Army, and they were forcibly transferred from Yunnan to the icy northeast to fight the civil war, and they were already full of complaints, but they were repeatedly monitored and excluded by Chiang Kai-shek's descendants' ** army, and everyone was on fire, and this time seeing that the food was exhausted and the demise was imminent, the 30,000 officers and soldiers of the whole army were unwilling to continue to resist stubbornly, so as not to bury the Chiang Kai-shek regime. Army commander Zeng Zesheng even sent representatives out of the city in advance to meet and negotiate with the Northeast Field Army of the People's Liberation Army besieging the city, and soon reached a consensus on the uprising.
In order to avoid the instability of the rest of the army, Chiang Kai-shek later simply reorganized the Jilin Railway Traffic Police Corps into a provisional 52nd Division and incorporated it into the 60th Army. The so-called "traffic police corps" is actually a puppet army and other motley armed forces that were incorporated by the military command after the victory of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, and its officers are also students of the special training classes of Dai Li, the head of the military command's special agents, in various places, so it is an out-and-out spy force.
Changchun was under a long siege.
Under the pretense of holding a meeting, the military commanders were trapped
After the provisional 52nd Division was incorporated into the 60th Army, its personnel and finances were still under the remote control of the National Defense Secrecy Bureau (formerly the Military Command), and even the northeastern "suppression general" in Shenyang was not allowed to intervene, let alone Commander Zeng Zesheng. This time, Zeng Zesheng wanted to lead his troops to revolt, and most of the 182nd Division and the 21st Provisional Division under his command from division commanders to company platoon commanders at the grassroots level were all brought from Yunnan and would definitely be willing to follow. However, the group of special officers of the provisional 52nd Division must be hindered by this, although their combat strength is weak, after all, they also have 6,000 guns, and they are stationed in the defense area**, once they are entangled, the uprising may be rampant.
On October 16, in order to solve the temporary 52nd Division at the lowest cost, after the commander Zeng Zesheng deployed the uprising from the provisional 21st Division and the 182nd Division, he returned to his military headquarters to call Li Song, the commander of the provisional 52nd Division, and informed him to bring three regiment commanders to a military meeting at 11 o'clock in the evening. At 9 o'clock in the evening, Zeng Zesheng called the adjutant Zhang Weipeng and said to him: ".I have already informed Li Song to bring hisCommander,Come here at o'clock for a meeting, and you will detain them at that time. Tell them:The army revolted and wanted themI ordered the deputy division commander and deputy regiment commander to obey the command and act with me. Otherwise, their lives are in our hands!
The 60th Army eventually rebelled.
He asked the deputy division commander to go back and lead the team to revolt
At 10 o'clock in the evening, Li Song really led the three regiment commanders to come to the meeting, Zhang Weipeng immediately led the guards to disarm and detain them all, and asked them to take turns to call their respective deputies, and issued an order for the whole division to follow the uprising. Although the deputy division commander Ouyang Wu was stubborn, Li Song begged him bitterly."We must obey the orders of the commander, revolt, revolt, and save our lives”；He can only say "".Obey the command and support the uprising
When Ouyang Wu and the others were about to leave the military headquarters and go back to deploy, Zhang Weipeng specially warned them again: ".The commander wants me to tell you, that if you are disobedient, we will destroy you first. We have the backing of the People's Liberation Army, don't be obsessed! Although Ouyang Wu later reported to Zheng Dongguo, deputy commander-in-chief of the Northeast "Suppression General" and commander of the 1st Corps, who was in charge of Changchun's urban defense, because all the regiments under him participated in the operation as scheduled, the 60th Army still successfully revolted and handed over its position to the Northeast Field Army that night.
Changchun guard Zheng Dongguo.
Zheng Dongguo and others found that they had no power to return to the sky, so they could only follow and let go**, and Changchun was liberated.
Liberation of Changchun.
