mentioned that the battles that took place in the northwest during the Liberation War were naturally indispensable. The famous Yan'an Defense Battle was in danger at that time. At that time, Hu Zongnan's troops were in a turbulent manner. Including the miscellaneous Kuomintang troops, there were more than 200,000 people in total, and the People's Liberation Army troops near Yan'an had only more than 200,000 people in total, and the battlefield situation was very unfavorable.
However, the People's Liberation Army resisted tenaciously, cleverly arranged defensive positions, and bombed hundreds of enemy planes, which still caused several times its losses to the enemy. Many PLA generals played their commanding skills in this battle, among which Lieutenant General Luo Yuanfa was the most prominent one.
Luo Yuanfa
General Luo Yuanfa was born in a poor family in Fujian in his early years. When he was a teenager, he went out to work due to family background, but poverty did not limit his horizons. At that time, the land revolution of the Red Army swept across the country. Luo Yuanfa was infected by revolutionary thoughts and joined the Red Army when the Red Army was fighting in Fujian.
General Luo Yuanfa was in the battlefield for a long time during the Agrarian Revolution. From a soldier in the machine gun company to fight bravely, he participated in several anti-encirclement and suppression struggles. By the time of Long March 2, he had served as the political commissar of the 15th Regiment. General Luo Yuanfa participated in the Long March. During the Xiangjiang Battle, he led his army to fight. More than half of the entire regiment suffered casualties, and Luo Yuanfa was also injured in the battle. During the Anti-Japanese War, Luo Yuanfa served as the director of the famous 115th Division's Political Department, and participated in countless battles such as the Pingxingguan Battle and the Hundred Regiments Battle.
In the early days of the Liberation War, Hu Zongnan launched a large-scale attack on Yan'an. When the Yan'an defense war began, the teaching brigade was one of the main forces of the People's Liberation Army in the northwest region. Luo Yuanfa was the brigade commander and political commissar. The task of the teaching brigade was to defend Jinbeng Bay, which was an important stronghold near Yan'an.
When the Yan'an defense battle was just beginning, General Peng went to the front line to check the situation and asked Luo Yuan, who was the commanding general, and said, "How many days can you hold on?"
Marshal Peng Dehuai
Luo Yuanfa replied, " not enough bullets, and a gun is less than ten on average, so he can only hold on for five days ."
When the central government evacuated Yan'an, there were many files to deal with, many important equipment had to be moved, and the people also had to evacuate, so five days were actually very tight.
Mr. Peng nodded and said, " blocks as much as possible, kills and damages the enemy, don't defend to the death, strive for one week ." The teaching brigade and other troops have two more days to defend. Facing an enemy that is ten times more than one, you can imagine such pressure.
On March 12, 1947, the Yan'an defense battle began. The defensive position of the teaching brigade led by Luo Yuanfa was attacked by the enemy by crazy attack. The Kuomintang officer Chen Wu commanded more than 80,000 troops to attack Jinben Bay. During this period, the planes bombed day and night, and more than 5,000 people in the teaching brigade. With the tenacious resistance of the position, landmines were buried, so that the enemy could only advance several kilometers a day and progress was slow.
00 The commander of the Kuomintang's reorganized 90th Division Chen Wu adjusted his tactics the next day and attacked the gaps of the First and Second Regiment of the Teaching Brigade, but he was repelled several attacks. However, General Peng had already said that he could not defend the dead. Therefore, Luo Yuanfa adjusted the situation and arranged the deployment according to the new Fourth Brigade, and Zhang Xian and other troops evacuated to the third line of defense.
People's Liberation Army soldiers
Hu Zongnan was very angry when he saw that he could not capture the position for a long time and ordered the Kuomintang troops to attack at all costs. Then a more cruel battle occurred. The two armies fought day and night, and the head nurses and guards of the teaching brigade behind even joined the battle.
However, General Luo Yuanfa still led his troops to defend the position and completed the task of covering the central evacuation. The enemy still failed to capture the defense line. On March 18, the central government sent a telegram, allowing the front-line troops to retreat on their own initiative and preserve their vitality. After holding on for a week, Luo Yuanfa led his troops to evacuate the defense line.
Chairman Mao and others have evacuated Yan'an. When Chairman Mao left, he also said: " Our evacuation this time is just a temporary farewell to Yan'an.", Later this sentence was proven to be very correct
General Luo Yuanfa also participated in countless battles afterwards, the most famous of which was the liberation of Xi'an. In 1949, General Luo Yuanfa served as the commander of the Sixth Army. He led his army to cross Weihe . The soldiers of the Sixth Army defeated the Kuomintang defenders with artillery fire and liberated Xi'an. This is also one of the important cities for the liberation of the late Liberation War.
General Luo Yuanfa served as the commander-in-chief of the bandit suppression in northern Xinjiang in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, and completed the task of suppressing bandits well, and basically suppressed bandits in several months. Later, he became the commander of the Air Force of the Northwest Military Region and contributed to the construction of the air force.
