11949 On August 15, 146th Division of the 49th Army of the Fourth Field Army, in accordance with the pursuit plan of General Zhong Wei, quickly passed through Yongfeng, Hunan, and came to Qingshuping in the west of Shuangfeng County, Hunan. This place is connected to Shaodong County in the west, Yintang Town in the east, to the two towns of Huamen and Suoshi in the south, and to the north, Santangpu Town . It has been a fortress since ancient times, and is also a must-pass area for central Hunan to connect to Nanxiang . The commander of the
146th Division is General Wang Kuixian, from Sungang Township, Huoqiu County, Anhui Province (now classified as Yeji District, Lu'an City). He is an old Red Army soldier and a long-standing general. He was awarded the rank of major general in 1955. At that time, the Kuomintang army was defeated and fought from the northeast to Hunan. It had never encountered any opponents, so it did not take this fortress seriously. When the vanguard came to the valley in front of in Qingshuping Town, the battalion commander felt that there was no enemy situation, so he did not send a small group of troops to occupy the commanding heights of the valley, but ordered the troops to pass through the valley road in a swagger.
As a result, danger occurred. In the valley in front of Qingshuping Town, the 236th Division of the 46th Army of the Kuomintang Army had been ambushing there, waiting for them? The enemy was ambushed from a high point, and the 146th Division's vanguard suffered heavy losses. The news reached the division commander General Wang Kuixian. He was furious. He first pushed the vanguard regiment up, and then pushed the entire division up, fighting with the enemy's 236th Division to the death. At that time, their radio station had a malfunction and could not contact Commander Zhong Wei. General Wang Kuixian had no idea about the enemy situation. He believed that if he bite the enemy in this way, and waited for the other two divisions of the 49th Army to come up, he would definitely wipe out the enemy completely.
But he did not expect that this group of enemies was personally commanded by Bai Chongxi , known as " Little Zhuge ". Through the battle report sent back by the 236th Division, he judged that the 146th Division was alone in the army. So he urgently ordered the 171st and 172nd Divisions of the 7th Division, the number one ace of the Guangxi Division, which is closer to Qingshuping, to quickly reinforce the 236th Division, and asked the 171st and 172nd Divisions of the 7th Army to detour on both sides and surround the 146th Division of our army.
html In the early morning of the 117th, the enemy army successfully encircled. At this time, General Wang Kuixian also found that the situation was not good from the enemy's artillery fire, because within half an hour, at least more than 2,000 shells were dropped on our position, and a considerable number of them were heavy artillery . Fortunately, the radio station was repaired before noon, and the general finally realized that he was in danger. Under the effective command of the Fourth Field Army, the 13th Corps and the 49th Army, the 146th Division broke through the siege on the night of the 17th, with the 145th Division's support. In this battle, the 146th Division suffered a great loss. The official evaluation was: the vitality was severely damaged.
