Battle of Lanzhou, he fired more than 10,000 artillery shells in 6 hours and destroyed a whole family. This is why
Battle of Lanzhou was the largest urban assault battle in the War of Liberation and the most critical battle to liberate the Northwest. It was a decisive battle, and the battle was the most intense.
The main attacker is the 63rd Army of the 19th Corps of Ichiye. The commander is Zheng Weishan. His mission is to capture Doujiashan in the southeast of Lanzhou. Whether he can complete the mission is related to the success or failure of the entire Lanzhou campaign.
Of course Zheng Weishan took it very seriously. After the battle started, he did not betray Mr. Peng's trust and spent more than 6 hours occupying Doujiashan in one fell swoop. However, he did not receive a performance from Mr. Peng, but scolded him.
Boss Peng called Zheng Weishan to the headquarters and directly said that he was a prodigal because he had fired all the cannonballs, which was Yiye's family fortune.
Seeing that Mr. Peng was angry, Zheng Weishan did not dare to speak. After being scolded for a while, Mr. Peng was no longer angry. He said that the cannonballs can be remade after they are gone. There are many in Ma Jiajun. I promise to return them to you.
Hearing what Zheng Weishan said, Boss Peng was about to get angry again. Fortunately, Deputy Commander Zhang Zongxun came out to smooth things over, saying that if you said you could pay it back, you must keep your word. Mr. Peng ignored him and only asked him to write a check.
At that time, the People's Liberation Army did not have sufficient artillery shells. He asked the artillery to fire more than 10,000 artillery shells at the Ma Jiajun position within 6 hours. That's why Boss Peng said that Zheng Weishan was a prodigal.
To deal with Ma Jiajun, why did Zheng Weishan want to wipe out all the wealth of Yi Ye? Because Zheng Weishan and Ma Jiajun can be said to have a bloody feud. In 1936, after the Red Army arrived in northern Shaanxi, it organized the West Route Army to prepare to cross the Yellow River westward and open up the Soviet Union's aid channel.
Zheng Weishan also joined the West Route Army and was the division political commissar of the division. When the West Route Army came to the Hexi Corridor , they encountered the fierce Ma Jiajun. The Ma Jiajun had good combat effectiveness. The West Route Army suffered heavy losses and was almost annihilated.
Especially Zheng Weishan's 88th Division. In the end, only he and the deputy division commander were left, and thousands of people died. He entrusted the injured deputy division commander to a local fellow, and he fought guerrillas with the Ma Jiajun alone.
These days were his most difficult days, being isolated and helpless, but thinking of those comrades who died at the hands of the Ma Jiajun, he made sure to survive, to eliminate the Ma Jiajun in the future, and avenge these sacrificed comrades.
Finally, he decided to return to the Red Army's own territory Yan'an , where there would be many opportunities for revenge. In order to avoid Ma Jiajun's interrogation, Zheng Weishan disguised himself as a beggar and made himself dirty. Even so, he was beaten frequently.
He endured it silently, walked for several months, and finally returned to the familiar Yan'an. In the following ten years, he kept in mind the matter of avenging his comrades.
In this battle of Lanzhou, the opponent was the Ma Jiajun. Zheng Weishan finally waited for the day of revenge, so he took the initiative to fight and fired more than 10,000 artillery shells. Ichiye's family was left with very little money.
Although he was scolded by Boss Peng, Zheng Weishan felt that it was worth it because he finally avenged his comrades who sacrificed that year.
