Three visits to Jiangnan
In the winter of 1946, relying on its military superiority, in order to carry out its operational plan of "first South then north, attacking South and defending North", the Northeast Kuomintang army concentrated the forces of four armies and launched a crazy attack on Linjiang, Jingyu, Fusong and Changbai, the only four counties of our army in South Manchuria, in an attempt to annihilate the main force of the Northeast Democratic Alliance Army in South Manchuria, monopolize South Manchuria, and then concentrate our forces to attack North Manchuria.
In order to cooperate with our army's operations in southern Manchuria, smash the enemy's operational plan of "attacking the South and defending the north", and force them to fight on both sides of the South and the north, our Northeast Democratic Coalition army launched three operations to cross the Songhua River from January 5 to March 16, 1947, which dealt a heavy blow to the enemy and was known as "three trips to the south of the Yangtze River".
The battle in kaoshantun is a wonderful episode of our Northeast Democratic Alliance's third battle in Jiangnan. It is Zhong Wei who plays the leading role. At the beginning of March 1947, the troops crossed the Songhua River three times and went south to encircle and annihilate the New 1st army of Kuomintang in the northeast of Dehui. On the evening of the 8th, Zhong Wei, the commander of the 5th division, received Lin Biao's order: lead the 5th division troops to Zhongchang Road, cooperate with the 1st longitudinal to annihilate the New 1st army of Dafangshen in Dehui northeast. On March 9, Zhong Wei led the 5th division to the southwest of kaoshantun. All of a sudden, I heard the noise from jiangjiatun and Wangkui shop in Southwest China. After reconnaissance, it was found that two battalions of 262 regiment of 87th division were here.
In the previous several river crossing operations, Zhong Wei and his 5th division did not win a big battle. They either destroyed the railway or cooperated with brother troops to contain the enemy. There is no less running, no less suffering, but not many enemies. After three trips to the south of the Yangtze River, the task of the 5th division was to cooperate with others in fighting to contain the enemy. Zhong Wei was somewhat annoyed. At this time, when he heard that there was an enemy to fight, Zhong Wei was very happy and immediately made a judgment that the enemy was in motion and could fight if he had a precarious foothold. However, for the fight or not? Zhong Wei and the political commissar had serious differences. The political commissar thinks: the eastward movement is the overall situation, and the orders from the higher authorities are the iron discipline. We should not be greedy for immediate interests and shake the determination of the headquarters. Even if we win this battle, we are wrong. Zhong Wei insists on fighting. He believes that it is wrong to disobey the orders of the higher authorities, but it is even more wrong to delay the war and affect the overall situation. The opinions were in a stalemate, and the fighter plane was about to miss. Zhong Wei made up his mind: "it's settled. I'll stay here and fight. If it's wrong, I'll cut off my head and fight!"
Zhong Wei's character is strong and fierce. From 5 a.m. to 2 p.m. on March 10, Zhong Wei received three telegrams from Lin Biao, and he was not moved. Seeing the change of the war situation, he surrounded a regiment of the 88th division, while the 87th division was rushing to reinforce. Zhong Wei has good military quality, the battlefield is changing rapidly, and his fighters are fleeting, but he can't escape his eyes. On the one hand, he organized troops to attack and help, and on the other hand, he reported the changes in the battlefield to Lin Biao. He especially emphasized that the enemy who surrounded the garrison had achieved the goal of mobilizing the enemy. The meaning was very clear: a good time has come to wipe out the enemy in large numbers. I'll fight here in the garrison. You can quickly mobilize other troops to cooperate with me! Lin Biao, who has always been persistent, was finally moved by Zhong Wei's insistence. In this battle, putting the cart before the horse, the first and second vertical were transferred, and Lin Biao was in command. Zhong Wei gained a great reputation.
In the end, the 5th division annihilated a whole regiment of the 88th division, and then turned around to hold back the 87th division who came to reinforce. Lin Biao led another one or six vertical westward advance to annihilate the 87th division of the national army in Guojiatun, and won three victories in Jiangnan.
During the whole three battles in Jiangnan, the North Manchurian army of the Democratic Alliance of Northeast China annihilated one regiment of the 38th division, one regiment, one company and one security regiment of the 30th division of the enemy's New 1st army, two companies of the 88th division of the enemy's 71st army, two companies of the Engineering Battalion, five companies of the logistics battalion, one company of the communication battalion and one department of the field hospital, defeated the 87th division and one battalion of its 260th regiment, and annihilated the enemy's new 6th army Two companies of the 66th regiment of the new 22nd division. A total of 15250 people were killed and wounded, and a great victory was achieved.
The three battles in Jiangnan effectively cooperated with our army in defending Linjiang and persisting in the struggle of Nanman. The close cooperation between the northern and southern Manchurians smashed the enemy's attempt to "attack from the south to the north, attack from the South and defend from the north" and forced the enemy to stop the strategic offensive and turn from offensive to defensive, while our army turned from passive to active, thus reversing the whole war situation in Northeast China, enhancing the people's confidence in winning the struggle in Northeast China and laying the foundation for the upcoming strategic counter offensive.
Lin Biao later said, "we should dare to win the battle of disobeying orders, just like Zhong Wei did in the backer village, disobeying orders three times." With Lin Biao's approval, the "general manager of the East" ordered the whole army to award the 2nd vertical 5th division. "When the enemy's 88th division retreated from kaoshantun, our 5th division immediately put itself into battle. On that day, it annihilated one of the enemy's units in the south of kaoshantun, and later it annihilated the enemy's five companies in kaoshantun. The enthusiasm and mobility of this kind of operation are worthy of praise and development. "
In early 1948, Zhong Wei was promoted by Lin Biao from the fifth division commander to the commander of the 12th column. According to research, Zhong Wei is the only one who has been promoted directly from the division commander to the commander of the 12th column in the whole four field system.
