The battle between the two sides has been completed. According to the excellent traditions of our army, it is time for us to conduct post-war summary and self-criticism.
However, due to the tense battle situation at that time, the timely summary of the Battle of Chakou would be postponed for three months.
Peng Dehuai wrote in his post-war summary:
"A battle was over, and at first I thought the enemy had only one brigade, but as a result, more and more battles were fought, five brigades were fought.
The second column wanted to swallow it in one bite, for fear that the enemy would run away, and block the enemy's way out, but it could not chew it, so I had to let go of a gap and let him run away. If each defeat was implemented this time, Liu Kan and Dong Zhao may be captured alive."
At this time, Xiye had basically escaped the danger of being surrounded by the national army, and the more grand strategic goals began to be implemented.
1. The troops in northern Shaanxi were divided into
0. After the troops north of Yan'an retreated south, the national army's garrison in the northern and eastern regions of Yan'an was greatly weakened, which was very conducive to the main force of Xiye who was heading south to open up a new battlefield.
1947, September 23.
Peng Dehuai held a military meeting to deploy the next combat plan.
The first and third columns, the teaching brigade and the newly formed 4th Brigade continued to fight in the inner line of Shaanxi , and each annihilated the enemies in isolated strongholds such as Yanchuan , Yanchang, and Qingjian ;
The second column went south and turned to the outer line , and worked with Wang Shitai's troops to open up Huanglongshan District , expand the liberated area, solve food difficulties, and cooperate with the main force to fight in the inner line.
September, 24th.
The plan to divide troops into northern Shaanxi to fight was officially released to all columns and brigades:
(I) The Military Commission approved the field army six brigades to stay in the inner line for one month, and instructed Wang (Zhen’s troops to attack the enemy from Gan (quan), Lu (xian), and Luo (chuan), and gradually turn to Guanzhong , to get closer to Wang Shitai’s troops, and attract the enemy to retreat south.
(II) According to the instructions of the Military Commission and your Jingzi (23-1:00 on the 24th), it is raining and there is no food. Please move it to the real one. If food difficulties can be overcome, we will fight east of Gansu (Quan) and Luochuan lines, and lead the enemy southward. If the food cannot be overcome, go out of Niuwu Town, Luosheng Town, and Xiangu Town to contact Huanglong, that is, in Luo (Chuan), (Guan)zhong, Yi (Chuan), Zhou (Zhi), and the east of Huanghe html, or call Linzhen to wait for three days to replenish grain, prepare to seize Yichuan and Jiyi, advance to Hancheng, open up the Huanglong area to work, and connect with Luliang.
At the same time, the Northwest Field Army carried out a large-scale reorganization. The commander of the First Column Zhang Zongxun entered the Nishino Command as deputy commander, and the former deputy commander of the First Column He Bingyan replaced Zhang Zongxun as commander of the First Column .
Wang Shitai's troops, as guerrilla column in Guanzhong area, were also incorporated into West Field Combat Sequence , which consists of 1st Guard Brigade, 3rd Brigade and 6th Cavalry Division , the fourth column of Northwest Field Army. The commander of the column, Wang Shitai, cooperates with 2nd Column, , on the outside.
The original combat power of teaching brigade and the new 4th brigade were merged into Northwest Field Army's Sixth Column . The commander of the column Luo Yuanfa cooperated with Liangjiacha and Shuangmiaohe in the first and third columns in the southeast of Qingjian to carry out internal operations.
2. Hu Zongnan self-created fishing tactics
Hu Zongnan did not feel good during his transition to northern Shaanxi during the Xiye period, because the People's Liberation Army almost gave up all its strongholds and looked for fighter jets during the national army's march.
can only find fighter jets, and they can attack reinforcements while surrounding them.
's superb tactic of aggression and aid has caused Hu Zongnan to suffer heavy losses, but he can't do anything about it.
After several failed lessons, Hu Zongnan, who has always despised our army, also began to try to learn our army's tactics and created his own "fishing tactics".
The so-called "fishing tactics" are "setting up bait to fish, gathering people to encircle and annihilate." He tried to use the garrison points with fewer troops as bait, and then mobilized the troops stationed in various places to siege and attack, achieving the purpose of encirclement and annihilation.
But in actual application, Hu Zongnan's tactics not only play the heartbeat, but also the lives of hundreds of thousands of soldiers of the National Army.Compared with the two tactics of
, the two tactics of
, the attack is to take the lead in attacking, which is an active tactic, while Hu Zongnan's fishing tactics are tactics formed in the process of passive defense, which is a passive tactic.
Hu Zongnan's tactics were used for Qingjian for the first time.
As for the effect, it is really hard to describe.
Perhaps, Hu Zongnan overestimated himself and overestimated the national army's mobile rescue capabilities.
Qingjian area, the garrison of the National Army is the 76th Division of the reorganized , and the division commander Liao Ang . (Affiliated to the 29th Army, commander Liu Kan). The 24th Brigade (70th Regiment, 72nd Regiment), the 144th Brigade (430th Regiment, 431st Regiment), and the 1st Brigade (1st Regiment, 2nd Regiment). After Hu Zongnan launched a large-scale attack on Yan'an, the 76th Division was ordered to defend Yanchang, Yanchuan and Qingjian areas respectively.
- 24th Brigade (70th Regiment, 72nd Regiment), New 1st Brigade (1st Regiment, 2nd Regiment) Defensive Qingjian
- 144th Brigade Defensively, Yanchuan
- 135th Brigade Defensively Wayaobao (Note: The 135th Brigade is the Foreign Transfer Brigade Department)
During Peng Dehuai's transition to northern Shaanxi, the 135th Brigade was annihilated. Liao Ang was ordered to allocate the 72nd Regiment of the 24th Brigade to fill the anti-wayaobao area.
When Hu Zongnan ordered the two main corpses to go north to clear the attack, Liao Ang's , the 144th Brigade, was allocated to the 29th Army, and the 2nd Battalion of the 270th Regiment of the 24th Brigade took on the extension of defense.
New 1st Brigade was transferred to Guanzhong and then to Lingbao, Henan, and the national army's strength in Qingjian area became even weaker.
For a time, the actual force of the defense circle with Qingjian as the core is less than one brigade.
Xinye's main force is still in Yulin, Liao Ang once generated power to Hu Zongnan. Because Yan'an and Qingjian are 60 miles away, guarding the Wayaobao, Qingjian, and Yanchang areas with such forces will not only not serve as a barrier to eastern Yan'an, but may also be easily annihilated because the reinforcement distance is too long.
He hopes to withdraw the troops of Qingjian and Yanchang to the outer suburbs of Yan'an.
Hu Zongnan is determined to play his original fishing tactics. Didn’t you, Liao Ang, deliberately cause trouble?
received a telegram from Liao Ang, and Hu Zongnan also replied seriously: is received well, I hope you will defend according to the original deployment and report the enemy situation immediately if you find it.
Liao Ang was unwilling to give up and generated power to Hu Zongnan again. This time he lowered his requirements, but he just hoped to transfer 72nd Regiment of from Wayaobao back to Qingjian to enhance his defensive power.
Hu Zongnan replied again: Received that a battalion of 72nd regiment has been allocated to fill the Qingjian.
Nishino's heavy punch
September 30.
Liao Ang received a telegram from Yanchang, saying that the People's Liberation Army had been found in Yanchang for about a regiment, please provide reinforcements as soon as possible.
The next day, Fu Ruiguang, the commander of the battalion, in which the local battalion, , was once again urgently called, , , had been surrounded by a brigade of the People's Liberation Army, the attack had begun, please support quickly.
At this moment, Liao Ang was also anxious.
Because the distance between Qingjian station where he is located is longer, Yan'an is the closest.
He immediately generated a power to Hu Zongnan to report the enemy situation, and hoped that Hu Zongnan could allocate Yan'an troops to emergency assistance. After Hu Zongnan called Liao Ang back, Liao Ang spitted out a mouthful of old blood.
Hu Zongnan's telegram reads:
"I'm going to order the battalion to persevere and continue to find out the enemy's actions and report them."
10.
Yanchang Battalion Commander Fu Ruiguang could no longer hold it back. He could not wait for reinforcements for three days, and the entire army was eventually wiped out.
When the battle took place in the prolonged battle, Liao Ang, the commander of the 36th Division, sent a baggage battalion to reconnaise the enemy situation. Unexpectedly, the battalion just discovered the People's Liberation Army at the corner of Sanshilipu and immediately chose to retreat to Qingjian.
Liao Ang cursed angrily, a group of incompetent people who are greedy for life and fear of death.
htmlOctober 3.After Liao Ang received the specific message, our army's first and third column numbers were found on the east and west sides of Qingjian. Liao Ang sent Hu Zongnan again, hoping to retreat Qingjian troops to the north to Suide , lure the enemy into deep, or transfer Suide 165th Brigade and Wayaobao 72nd Regiment to Qingjian to strengthen Qingjian's defense.
October, neither cold nor hot.
In October, Hu Zongnan's telegram was lukewarm.
Hu Zongnan's old trick was repeated, thinking about realizing his great "fishing tactics", and calmly sent a telegram to Liao Ang.
"Strengthen the fortifications and prepare to annihilate the invading enemies. Please continue to find out the situation and report it."
Liao Ang was so angry, but there was really no way to Hu Zongnan's operation.
htmlOctober 4.The first and third columns of Xiye successfully completed the siege of Qingjian.
Liao Ang sent another call to Hu Zongnan to come and rescue him quickly. Hu Zongnan still had his previous accent and continued to call Liao Ang patiently:
"According to the reconnaissance, there are only one enemy brigade outside Qingjian, and it is not the main force. I'll check it out in detail."
At that time, Liao Ang realized that Hu Zongnan wanted to wipe out his brigade headquarters in order to realize the fishing tactics.
htmlOctober 6.After investigating the terrain near Qingjian, Peng Dehuai called Chairman Mao:
(I) The enemy guarding fortifications in Qingjian is not weaker than Panlong. Most of us have been quite prepared. All the cadres above the squad and squad have been optimistic about the terrain and discussed the attack methods, and are confident. Due to rain and time constraints, the small team still has insufficient preparations and is inconvenient to delay. It depends on the attack on the 6-day dusk, and it is estimated that it will be successful in three days.
(II) 1 and 3 liang attacked east and west, and taught the brigade to attack the enemy who aided in the south of Suide and the enemy who retreated in the north of Qingjian; one regiment of the New Fourth Brigade, the main force of the Hejiashan Cha (the location is unknown, it should be in the Yongping area) , and one battalion is in the northeast of Guaimao, to gain time; the brigade and another regiment are in the south of Qingjian.
At dusk, the general attack began.
Qingjian City is very difficult to fight. There are two highland firepower points in Bijia Mountain in the west and Jiuli Mountain in the northeast. There are more than 50 plum blossom pile bunkers of different sizes outside the city, which is definitely a hard bone to crack.
On October 7, when the main force of Xiye attacked Qingjian City with difficulty, Hu Zongnan finally issued a rescue order.
On October 8, Liu Kan and Chen Wu 6 led the reorganized 2 brigades of the 1st Division, the reorganized 90th Division, the reorganized 47th Brigade of the 27th Division, and the 430th Regiment of the 144th Brigade of the 76th Division, and the reorganized 5 and a half brigades, starting from Yan'an and rescued eastward.
Obviously, Hu Zongnan is very optimistic about this rescue plan. He is confident that his original "fishing tactics" can be perfectly used in Qingjian, and it is very dangerous to attack Xiye's main force in Qingjian!
However, there are many different ways to achieve the beauty.
Hu Zongnan still lost.
When Hu Zongnan's rescue army was racing eastward, Peng Dehuai had prepared the new Fourth Brigade and Teaching Brigade for him in the areas of Yongping and Chakou .
According to the previous marching speed of the national army, there is a huge time difference in the aid of the national army. And this time difference is the best opportunity for the main force of Nishino to win Qingjian City.
htmlOctober 10.attacked the main force in the west of Qingjian City to make a major breakthrough. Our army organized a team late at night and secretly climbed up the powerful stronghold in the west of the city. The shouts of "stolen guns but not kill" were heard over Bijia Mountain. The enemy was shocked and simply gave up the important position here and fled wildly.
President Peng was even more happy when he heard the news that Bijia Mountain was broken and issued an offensive order to the front line troops that day.
"First work hard to attack the city tonight."
When it was dawn on October 11, the Qingjian was captured. Our army captured Liao Ang, commander of the 76th Division, Liu Xuechao, chief of staff, Zhang Xin, commander of the 24th Brigade, Li Zheng, chief of staff, and Zhu Mianqun and Peng Xiaotang, commander of the 70th Regiment.
The reinforcements at that time were still more than 20 miles southwest of Qingjian City, and they were still unable to advance the front smoothly.
After Liao Ang was captured, Peng Dehuai personally received him. Liao Ang could not help but complain and scolded Hu Zongnan:
"Although Qingjian fortifications are numerous and strong, Hu Zongnan actually used me as a reorganized division headquarters and a brigade headquarters to guard the stronghold. It was simply a joke with me."
Pen President replied: We are not amazing, mainly because of the people's hearts...
