The most critical year in the War of Liberation was 1947, especially in May 1947, when Chen Yi and Su Yu staged a "first rank among a million generals" in Meng Lianggu. The 74 divisions were wiped out and smashed. The KMT’s key attack on the Shandong Liberated Area not only shocked the KMT army psychologically, but also disrupted the KMT army’s key attack deployment in Shandong. This battle was an important turning point for the War of Liberation from a strategic defense to a strategic offensive. The army of Liu and Deng laid the foundation for marching into the Central Plains.

1. Su Yu laid out in advance to lure and wipe out the enemy

Meng Lianggu was annihilated for 3 days and 3 nights, the KMT 74 division was annihilated with more than 32,000 people, an average of 10,000 people a day, Chiang Kai-shek cursed: 30,000 pigs will have to be killed for half a month!" Such a record is not that Zhang Lingfu is incompetent, but Su Yutai can calculate it. As early as April, Su Yu formulated two combat plans: , if the enemy dared to advance, it was just right. Concentrate the main force and choose to annihilate it all the way; the enemy is still intensively drew closer and hesitated, our army will take a step back and use the attack on Weixian as a bait to lure and annihilate the enemy. After careful calculations, Su Yu found that this battlefield was not suitable for annihilating the enemy, so he closely observed the situation on the battlefield and looked for more suitable fighters. Finally, Su Yu found Meng Lianggu.

2. Chiang Kai-shek misjudged, and Zhang Lingfu marched lonely

Under Chiang Kai-shek’s anti-Japanese general Zhang Lingfu, experienced countless battles against the Japanese under Wang Yaowu’s wicked battles in the south and north. The most beautiful page in China, until he met Su Yu.

Su Yu decided to lead Huaye’s main force to move east, which made Chiang Kai-shek Chiang Kai-shek and Chen Cheng misjudged that Huaye’s main force was "weakened offensively" and might have to retreat. He hurriedly ordered Zhang Lingfu to move forward and follow suit. Lu Zhongshan and Su Yu decisive battle.

Actually, Zhang Lingfu did not want to chase Su Yu at this time.Because Zhang Lingfu and Su Yu were old opponents, he knew that Su Yu was powerful, but he was helpless with orders from his superiors. Even Gu Zhutong also changed the original tactics of steady and steady fighting. He did not wait for the force to gather, and directly ordered the 74th Division to start on May 11th. Duozhuang and Taoxu areas attacked Tanbu.

3. The battle has been set. The first rank of the admiral among the million army

The 74th Division’s offensive was smooth. From May 11th to 13th, was occupied in only 3 days. Yangjiazhai, Foshan Jiao, Ma Muchi and other places were preparing to attack Tanbu on the 14th. At this time, the battle situation suddenly changed. On the evening of May 13, the 74th Division launched an attack on Huang Doushan. The contact with the division, Zhang Lingfu at this time, still did not realize the seriousness of the situation, but was preparing for the second day of the battle in Tanbu.

In the early morning of May 14, news of the fall of Tianma Mountain, Ma Muchi, Leishi Mountain and other places came, Zhang Lingfu suddenly realized that the 74th Division was about to be encircled and annihilated, and he hurriedly withdrew to the Menglianggu area, but he did not know that this place was Su Yu carefully. A large pocket for decoration.

Zhang Lingfu stuck to Meng Lianggu. While requesting the airdrop of food bombs, he adjusted the deployment and waited for rescue.

4. Geographical restrictions, the ace division has become the lamb to be slaughtered

The mountains of Lunan are mostly rugged mountain roads. The 74 divisions are crowded and it is very difficult to camp and supply. In addition, there are rocks everywhere, it is difficult to build fortifications, and even the artillery can not move flexibly, almost becoming a burden and waste. The 74th Division was caught in a desperate situation of "no way to open a road in every mountain, no bridge to build a bridge in water (Wenhe)", and the soldiers all complained. Even Zhang Lingfu complained: I am a heavily equipped unit. If I fight on the plains, artillery can exert its power...

In the early morning of May 15,Su Yu had completed the encirclement, and the 74th Division was reorganized and surrounded several hills with Menglianggu as the center. At 13 o'clock, the East China Field Army launched an offensive. There was a fierce battle for one day. The main position of the 74th Division was lost. Until noon on the 16th, the East China Field Army occupied all of the 74th Division. In the position, the clouds were low that day and the visibility was poor. It was thought that the 74th Division had been completely wiped out. However, when the number of prisoners was counted, it was found that there was a 10,000 difference between the number of wiped out enemies and the number of the 74th Division. Immediately after rigorous search, a regiment where Zhang Lingfu was located was found, and the 74th division was wiped out.

4. Zhang Lingfu died in action, and the cause of death is a mystery

There are different opinions about Zhang Lingfu’s death. Some people say that they were killed, but it seems that Xiao Lingfu killed himself. It is not very sexual. First, the Communist Party does not kill captives. The second is that even if Zhang Lingfu is a national army, he still has soldiers with iron and blood.

5. The Anti-Japanese Iron Army was finally renamed

After Zhang Lingfu's death, Chiang Kai-shek said: "Span1span" "Kill oneself and become a benevolent, be loyal to the party." Later, Zhang Lingfu Road was built in Fengshan City, Kaohsiung County, Taiwan, and Zhang Lingfu Memorial Hall was set up in the Army Military Academy .

Most descendants only know that Zhang Lingfu was killed in the Menglianggu battle. In fact, Zhang Lingfu was also a patriotic soldier. He fought numerous tough battles during the War of Resistance Against Japan. Span1span killed and injured countless Japanese invaders and repeatedly defeated the elite of the Japanese army, especially once created the nation. The famous De'an victory, known as the "Anti-Japanese Iron Army", In 2005, on the 60th anniversary of the victory of the War of Resistance against Japan, Zhang Lingfu's eldest son Zhang Juli gloriously received for his father an anti-Japanese commemorative medal issued by the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, the Central Military Commission and the State Council. General Zhang Lingfu's anti-Japanese feats were rectified.

"Rising from the army and dying in the army, this is justified." This is probably the generalization of Zhang Lingfu's life.
