1948 after February 4 Higashino vertical winter warfare on the successful completion of the first phase of Chiang offensive, marching aggressively toward Liaoyang.

Liaoyang is an ancient city, and there is a moat named "Prince River" outside the city. After occupying Liaoyang, Jiang Jun immediately relied on the Liaoyang city wall to repair the fortifications. Traffic trenches, light and dark firepower points, barbed wire, and minefields all remained untouched. Not only that, they also dug a deep and wide trench outside Liaoyang City, and built barbed wire and minefields around the trench. More than 10,000 people headed by the 54th Division of Jiang Jun's Temporary Division are responsible for stationing in Liaoyang.

has the protection of city walls and trenches, plus all-American equipment. In the mouth of Ma Zhe, the commander of the 54th Division, Liaoyang is the "iron-struck Liaoyang" and the "hard bone" that Dongye can't eat.

can come to chew this hard bone, and it is also the hard stubble of the "East Ye"-the 4th and 6th columns under the unified command of General Wu Kehua. Z1z

Lieutenant General Wu Kehua (1913-1987), a native of Yiyang County, Jiangxi Province, served as the commander of the 4th and 6th Columns during the Liaoyang Battle,

, the two columns, but Dongye’s first-class main force. Lin Biao's ability to entrust such an important task to Wu Kehua is enough to show his trust in him. And Wu Kehua also knows that if he can't control Liaoyang, he will not only face his subordinates and soldiers, but also shame Lin! Wu Kehua also firmly believes that he will be able to bite off this "hard bone".

On January 30, after a forced march overnight, the 4th Zong arrived at the Xiaojiahe and Emeizhuang areas outside Liaoyang City, cutting off the city's connection with Shenyang, and at the same time encircling Liaoyang.

On February 2, 6 Zong also arrived at Balizhuang in the southwest of Liaoyang City as planned. Subsequently, the two columns began to "clean up" the Jiang Jun strongholds around Liaoyang City in turn: the 4th and 11th Divisions quickly captured the east commanding heights of Liaoyang City; the 10th Division took the Liaoyang North Taizi River Iron Bridge; the 12th Division He won the goose house village. As a result, three sides of the entire Liaoyang city were controlled by the four verticals, and the Jiang Jun who defended the city could hardly fly even with his wings. After

succeeded in seizing the outer positions, Wu Kehua immediately made arrangements: 4 vertical 11 divisions (with 5 artillery battalions) launched an assault on the east of Liaoyang city; 6 verticals (one less division) carried out an assault from the southwest of the city; and 4 vertical 10 The 28th and 30th regiments of the division (with an artillery battalion) carried out feint attacks on Chengnan and Liaoyang railway stations, covering 6 verticals, and 12 divisions served as the reserve team of the whole army. The attack time of

was set on February 6, 1948. In the early morning of the

attack day, Wu Kehua and Peng Jiaqing stood together in the command post, looking into the distance with binoculars. Seeing the lifelessness in the command post, Wu Kehua said to Peng jokingly: "Look, Lao Peng, we are launching an offensive at this time. Maybe that horse is still sleeping!"

" According to me, he still In my dream, I was dreaming of my own "iron-strike Liaoyang" dream!"

"Let's take a look at how "iron-struck" he is in Liaoyang!"

saw the hour hand pointing to 7 o'clock, and then Wu Kehua waved his hand: "The whole army is ready for artillery fire!"

In an instant, countless artillery shells ready to be fired came out of the box, and the bombing Liaoyang city was full of smoke. Jiang Jun in his sleep fell into a sea of ​​flames before he realized what had happened. Z1z

Lieutenant General Peng Jiaqing (right, 1909-1993), a native of Luling, Jiangxi, served as the "East Ye" 4 vertical political commissar during the Battle of Liaoyang,

. Going, Wu Kehua quickly saw through the binoculars that a gap was blasted open in the east gate wall. Subsequently, the 4th Company of the 31st Regiment of the 11th Division, which served as an assault mission, rushed to the city wall under the cover of Xu Jin's barrage of artillery fire. Soon, bright red flags were inserted in the east of Liaoyang.

However, after completing the breakthrough mission, the 32 regiment not only failed to act as originally planned, but also flocked to a small gap with the 31 regiment. The soldiers of the 2 regiments squeezed on the narrow breach and it was difficult to expand.

Just when everyone was hurriedly preparing to move forward, a dark fort of Jiang Jun "resurrected" and suddenly shot out countless machine gun shells, knocking down many soldiers in an instant.

Seeing this tragic situation, Wu Kehua slammed a circle on the wall of the command post, and immediately shouted to Chief of Staff Li Fuze: "Contact Liu Jianqiu (then the 32nd regiment commander) immediately, and let him pull the troops quickly.Back to the original road, I will kill him a little bit! "Z8z

Then, anxious Wu Kehua rushed out of the command post and directly watched the battle from the outside. At this time, a figure of a soldier appeared in front of Wu Kehua's camera: he flexibly avoided Jiang Jun’s bullets and tried to get close to the enemy’s fortifications. , Immediately threw a grenade at the enemy, and when the smoke was not exhausted, he carried an explosive bag and rushed up. After placing it under the enemy's firepower, he immediately turned and left. After a loud noise, the stop was at 31 and 32. The "blocker" on the regiment's offensive route was completely "dumb."

Even Wu Kehua couldn't help but clap his hands for the outstanding performance of this soldier. After a while, he turned his head and said to the staff around him: "After the battle, he must To find out who this soldier is, I will personally praise him! "Z1z

couldn't restrain his excitement, and Wu Kehua immediately walked onto the soil bag behind the command post. The staff tried to persuade him again and again to no avail. When he watched the assault troops consolidate the breach, and then reinforcements rushed into Liaoyang City like a tide, He couldn't help but smiled knowingly.

Then, he got a report from the staff, saying that the 4th and 6th sections had successfully breached the defenses of Jiang Jun. After giving the order to "catch the horses alive", Wu Kehua seemed to think of something again, and immediately Said to the staff nearby: "Go, get me the soldier who blew the fire point of the city wall! "Z8z

" At noon, the so-called "Iron-strike Liaoyang" fell into the hands of "East Ye". Temporarily, Ma Zhe, the commander of the 54th Division, and Liu Jimin, the deputy commander, became prisoners. The two were taken to Wu Kehua’s headquarters, Wu Liankan. He didn't even look at it, but simply ordered a few words to tell the soldiers to take them down. What he really cared about was the warrior who blew up the fire point of the city wall. Soon, the warrior walked into Wu Kehua's headquarters. After some inquiries, Wu Kehua learned his name: Fan Chuili. Z8z

Fan Chuili (1930-), a native of Haicheng, Liaoning, a battle hero of the 41st Division of the 4th Column, he was 18 years old when he fought the Liaoyang Campaign.

looking at the soldier's young face, Wu took the initiative to step forward, took his hand and praised: "This iron-strike Liaoyang, after all, is no better than an iron-strike soldier! "Z8z
