Combative**).
At that time, the battle of Menglianggu was foughtThere were more than 270,000 troops in our army and more than 450,000 Kuomintang troops, it can be seen that our army is already at a disadvantage in terms of numbers, not to mention that the 74th Division is Chiang Kai-shek's "heart and liver baby".The firepower of the 74th Division is all American weaponsOur army is really "shabby" in comparison.
Because of this, Zhang Lingfu, the commander of the 74th Division at that time, was very proud and thought that it was really easy to win against our army, but this unit was successfully annihilated by our army in the end.
At that time, our army managed to surround the 74 division, butThe Kuomintang was very happy, this is exactly what they want to use as the main force of our armyBut what they didn't expect was that this success caused the 74th Division to die Meng Lianggu.
The soldiers attacked).
At the beginning of the battle, the retreat arranged by Zhang Lingfu was cut off by our army, and the originally prepared baggage grain and grass were capturedThe 74th Division has completely become a "trapped beast".
At that time, the 74th Division was cut off from food and grass, and had to kill horses to satisfy hunger, which was a great blow to their morale, and our army observed that the time was ripe, so General ** redeployed.
He first ordered the troops to block the troops that came to support, and at the same time ordered one longitudinal west, four longitudinal north, six longitudinal south, eight longitudinal east, and nine longitudinal northeastA general attack on the 74th Division was launched from all directions, and the 74th Division was successfully caught off guard

After successfully occupying Quanshan, they immediately sent troops to attack the center of the 74th Division, and at the same time, with the idea of "capturing the thief and capturing the king first", the army leaders also drew capable personnel from various unitsLet them form assault groups, each with 7 people, and let them attack the headquarters where Zhang Lingfu is located.
Zhang Lingfu's headquarters was located in the root of a mountain cliff, and the assault team had gone through a lot of hardships at that timeFinally, three people managed to break into the headquarters and successfully killed Zhang Lingfu.

However, this battle was not as smooth sailing as expected, because,Our army achieved this victory at a great cost, losing more than 12,000 peopleAmong them, 9,300 people were wounded and 2,043 martyrs were sacrificed, which can be said to be a huge loss, and the tragedy of the Menglianggu battle is really unimaginable.
According to the memories of the Kuomintang survivors at the time, the horror on the back of the top of the Dagu at that time,The corpses of the attacking soldiers alone were piled up on 7 floors, Jiang Jun's machine gun barrel hit red.
This was just one place, the key positions at that time were all kept with the lives and blood of the soldiers, and the corpses at that time were stacked more than a dozen stories high.

At that time, the soldiers were preparing to charge, according to the recollections of the partiesThe charge was devoid of the previous machine-gun sound, nor the sound of heavy artillery fire, and the sound of bayonets and murder filled their ears.
On the battlefield, countless people rushed forward, and the Kuomintang were not incompetent, and both sides fought together, starting from the battleThe bayonet was always red, covered with blood, and in the end everyone was red-eyed.
One night, our army attacked forward, once, twice, three times, until the fifth, the normal establishment of a company originally had three platoons, and after these attacks, three platoons became two platoons, and the company commander of this company has changed six or seven people.

It's not even the most intense timeAt the height of the crisis, the Kuomintang saw that the 74th Division was in danger, and they came to support it regardless of itAt that time, the situation was critical, and as soon as the supporting troops managed to break through the defense line of our army, our army would have suffered a crushing defeat in this war.
At that time, the Tianma Mountain position was one of the extremely important defense lines, and the commander of the first column at that time transferred most of the troops to attack, leaving only four regiments to defend the Tianma Mountain position.
Huang Baitao's army launched an attack at this time, and our army naturally resisted stubbornly when it saw this, and the shouts of killing resounded throughout the entire position, Huang Baitao's troops bombarded our army with artillery, and then sent a large number of troops to rush to the position, and our army picked up bayonets, to fight back against them, and the blood of the enemy and the blood of our troops stained that land red.

Such a battle lasted for a day and a night, and our soldiers died in large numbers, and for a time there were no soldiers to send, can only let the hygienists and cooks participate in the battle, and at this time, Huang Baitao's troops still rushed up in groups.
There is no way,Liao Zhengguo, the division commander at the time, could only come forward to stop the troops passing by his command post, inform him of the situation he is in, and hope to let this force stay and help them.
After hearing his intentions, the unit also knew that the situation was critical, so it took the initiative to break the structure, took the initiative to obey Liao Zhengguo's orders, and launched a new round of battle with Huang Baitao's troops.
It was precisely because of the timely appearance of this force that Huang Baitao's troops did not break through the defensive line, supporting the 74th Division, and then the battle situation became more and more unfavorable to Zhang Lingfu.
Battle site) Such a brutal war took place on every position in Menglianggu, and it can be said that the victory of this battle was won by countless soldiers in exchange for their lives.
In addition to the wise leadership of the generals and the charging of the soldiers, Meng Lianggu's victory is closely related to the support of the people.
At that time, the logistics of our army were far inferior to those of the Kuomintang, but when our army attacked at the front,In the rear, there were countless migrant workers pushing small carts and carrying stretchers, bandaging the wounded and bringing food and other military supplies, it was they who made up for the disadvantages of our army and helped our army to victory.

And there were many singing and crying stories during this period, during the war, a bridge that led to the battlefield was blown up by the enemy, when the river was cold and biting, and our soldiers had to cross the cold river, at this time,Local women, however, jumped into the river with a door panel in their hands and built a bridge out of it, allowing our army to successfully cross the river.
It can be seen that this battle not only belongs to the PLA, but also to countless people, because the army and the people are united, our army can achieve this great victory.
