Before the uprising, Ouyang Wu gave Zheng Dongguo a **, which led to the defection of some people. "This history tells us that in the War of Liberation, a large number of first-class defections not only strengthened the strength of our army, but also accelerated the process of national liberation.
Zeng Zesheng, a valiant commander who was highly respected in the Yunnan army, why did he become an informer? And why was his whistleblowing not stopped? What's the story behind all this?
Let's find out the truth together.
In the Liaoshen Campaign, the 60th Army was besieged by the enemy in Changchun, and the situation was very grim. However, Lao Jiang asked them to hold on for the time being and wait for rescue. At this time, the 60th Army was facing the dilemma of food shortage and hopeless rescue, and Zeng Zesheng also fell into a difficult situation.
He faced an existential test, but he remained at his post and did everything in his power to protect his soldiers and the city.
He didn't want to continue adrift on the broken ship of the Kuomintang, but he also didn't want his men to suffer senseless sacrifices. Therefore, at this moment, they must find a new route.
The 60th Army has two units, the 21st and 182nd Divisions, and a special unit, the 52nd Division. The existence of this team posed a considerable challenge to Zeng Zesheng's uprising.
They were the only opposing force in Zeng's uprising, and they were the key force that Lao Chiang used to oversee Zeng.
Zeng Zesheng hurried to the provisional 21st Division and immediately convened a meeting of officers above the battalion level, and he was eager for someone to put forward a proposal to surrender to Cheng. At this critical moment, Li Shumin, the commander of the first regiment, stepped forward and said that he had the same willingness to surrender as Pan Shuoduan.
The stone in Zeng Zesheng's heart finally landed.
Division Commander Pan Shuoduan rebelled in 1946, and then successfully incorporated the provisional 21st Division. After taking out the 21st Division, Zeng Zesheng immediately rushed to the 182nd Division and once again succeeded in persuading them to revolt.
This action was unanimously applauded by the 182nd Division.
At present, the most dangerous 52nd Division is only the last one, and the relationship between the division commander Li Chong and Zeng Zesheng is not good, so Li Chong must be controlled first, and then the 52nd Division must be forced to obey.
Zeng Zesheng returned to the military headquarters, called Li Chong **, and invited him to bring the three regiment commanders to the meeting. As Zeng Zesheng expected, they were arrested by his people as soon as they arrived.
Under pressure, Ouyang Wu, the deputy commander of the 52nd Division, was forced to agree to the uprising and make his position clear.
At noon on October 16, Zeng Zesheng was having dinner when he suddenly received a letter from Deputy Commander Zheng Dongguo, telling him that there was an urgent matter that needed to be dealt with immediately.
Upon arrival, Zeng Zesheng found that he only needed to send a regiment to cooperate with the New Seventh Army. Because of the decision to revolt, he no longer had the idea of confronting our army. Zeng Zesheng sent a regiment to take this opportunity to test the strength of the New Seventh Army.
It turned out that the New Seventh Army was not reliable, which made Zeng Zesheng feel reassured.
Zeng Zesheng had just returned to the military headquarters, and before he could stabilize the situation, he was betrayed by Ouyang Wu. Ouyang Wu took advantage of Zeng Zesheng's trust in him and told Zheng Dongguo all of Zeng Zesheng's uprising plan.
Zeng Zesheng's situation looks very dangerous, but it is unclear whether he will be able to escape death. What is even more puzzling is that General Ji was indifferent to the deputy division commander's whistleblowing.
Zheng Dongguo understood that the 52nd Division and the 60th Army did not agree with each other, so he did not attach importance to Ouyang Wu's views.
Zeng Zesheng successfully persuaded Ouyang Wu to let the 52nd Division participate in the uprising, and finally successfully revolted in Changchun, protecting 3 divisions and completing the mission.
Zeng Zesheng never knew about the whistleblowing, and it was not until long after the end of the uprising that he learned the truth from his subordinates.
Ouyang Wu's whistleblowing behavior was quite cunning, and his motive was to fear the liquidation of our party after the uprising. At that time, Zeng Zesheng held an officer meeting in the 21st Provisional Division, and the 60th Army was unguarded.
If Zheng Dongguo can attach great importance to this, the consequences will be unimaginable.
The old army strength has been broken, and the new Seventh Army took the lead in surrendering the city and voluntarily surrendered **. On the 19th, Zheng Dongguo led the corps headquarters and the troops directly under it to surrender to our army, and Changchun was successfully liberated.
In January 1949, the PLA General Headquarters announced that the original 60th Army would be reorganized into the 50th Army of the People's Liberation Army, which marked that the army officially joined the ranks of the People's Liberation Army and made important contributions to the country's liberation.
By replenishing many backbone personnel of the PLA, the overall quality of the newly formed 50 th Army has been greatly improved, and at the same time, its mental outlook has also been markedly improved. After that, the 50th Army participated in the Battle of Western Hubei and made great achievements for the liberation of the whole country.
In 1950, a fierce war broke out on the Korean Peninsula, and the confrontation between the two sides escalated for a time.
Zeng Zesheng felt very unhappy in his heart, because the 38th Army, which was also underperforming, was severely criticized, while the 50th Army did not move.
The new year is coming, on December 31st, let's meet new challenges and opportunities together.
Finally, in the wind, we met.
On the Korean battlefield, the 50th Army, known as the "Sixty Bears", showed their strength and counterattacked all the way to become an elite force.
When Jiang heard again that "for the sake of freedom, everything can be abandoned", he couldn't help but feel deeply.
The 50th Army of the Chinese Volunteers is known for its bravery and good fighting, and they have demonstrated unparalleled courage and strength with their blood and lives, winning dignity and honor for the motherland.
