The Central Military Commission has given the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region the combat mission is to seize the three roads (Pinghan, Zhengtai, Tongpu) and the four cities (Baoding, Shijiazhuang, Taiyuan, and Datong). After the Jinsui Military Region and some troops of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region launched the Northern Shanxi Campaign. The liberation of 10 county seats, the control of a large area of land, the isolation of Datong, created a good opportunity to launch the Datong campaign.

In July, the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei and Jinsui Military Regions decided to attack Datong and formed the Datong Front-Line Command Headquarters, with Zhang Zongxun, deputy commander of the Jinsui Military Region, as the commander-in-chief, the only brigade of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region and the only brigade of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region to guard Zhuozi Mountain, and the 3rd Independent Brigade to draw out the 27th Regiment to defend Jining, and mobilize all the main forces of the two theaters.

Mobilizing all the main forces of the two theaters, a total of 50 regiments and more than 100,000 people, such a large corps to fight, the scale of the Datong Campaign is so large, the determination is so great, and the strategic purpose is very clear: 1. Eliminate the living forces of Yan Xishan and Fu Zuoyi; 2. Remove the obstacles from Yan'an to Zhangjiakou and complete the unfinished strategic objectives of the Suiyuan Campaign.

The Battle of Jining was a key battle in North China, and the impact of its defeat was extremely significant and far-reaching, and the CCP leaders attached great importance to this battle。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。

The Datong unit of the Kuomintang Army is the newly formed 38th Division, the 5th and 6th Cavalry Divisions of the Northeast Advance Army, the Security Corps, two artillery battalions, a special service battalion and an engineer company. A total of more than 29,000 people, commanded by Chu Xichun, deputy commander-in-chief of Yan Xishan's Eighth Group Army.

The 29,000-strong troops belonged to the combat units of the 7th and 8th regiments, and their combat effectiveness was low, and the newly formed 38th Division was incorporated by a large number of puppet army bandits.

The only brigade of the Jinsui Military Region guarded Zhuozi Mountain, the third independent brigade drew out the 27th regiment to guard Jining, the soldiers began to dig ditches, repair trenches, several regiments began to work according to shovels, the soldiers were very active and did it very quickly, after 3 days the position was almost repaired, Zhang Zongxun, Luo Ruiqing, personally inspected the position, the soldiers worked hard to build the position, the commander was good, the soldiers shouted happily, the comrades worked hard。。。。。。 Sir, we don't have to work hard, as long as we drive these white dogs out and get tired, we won't be afraid. What is the name of a good lad? Sir, my name is Wang Ergou, come on, Ergou。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。

The trenches were quickly repaired, the fighters began to arrange the machine guns on the ground, the artillery began to be in place, and the shells were in place。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。

The cavalry brigade guarded the tucheng in the northwest of Jining; The Ninth Regiment of the Mongolian Military Region is located in the 18th Taiwan, and the Fourth Brigade of the Jinsui Military Region is located on the front line of Shangdu. With the 3rd Independent Brigade, the 7th Regiment of the Suimeng Military Region, the Independent Cavalry Regiment in Liangcheng, and the Zhangjiakou Teaching Brigade in Xintang, as the reinforcement of the left wing corps, it was commanded by Yang Jiarui, commander of the 3rd Independent Brigade.

Jiang Zhongzheng actively participated in the war in order to win over Fu Zuoyi's troops, and then ordered Fu Zuoyi to benefit, promoted and knighted, and promised that this territory would be managed by himself in the future, and even said that as long as these troops were eliminated, they would be treated according to the treatment of the Central Army in the future, Jiang Zhongzheng's foolish Fu Zuoyi was stunned, this method was used by Lao Jiang during the warlord civil war, and the means were old-fashioned, but Fu Zuoyi believed it, Fu Zuoyi promised Lao Jiang that the chairman, please rest assured that our troops are all elite soldiers and good Jiang, and the communist army is a rabble, and the combat effectiveness is vulnerable, Just wait and see! Placing Datong under the jurisdiction of the 12th War Zone, for Fu Zuoyi, who has been barren for a long time, Datong is rich in black gold, and it is also the main transportation point between Shanxi and Hebei, which is really a dream good thing.

Fu Zuoyi thought that if this place really let me take over the management, it would be really a million profits, Fu Zuoyi drank tea and smiled, where to find such a good thing! The chairman of the committee really took good care of me。。。。。。。

Commander Fu Zuoyi informed his subordinates that Dong Qiwu, Sun Lanfeng, Guo Jingyun, An Chunshan, Liu Wanchun, and all officers above the regimental level attended a secret military meeting in Guisui. When these officers arrived in Guisui, they began to hold a military meeting and began to study the arrangement and study of the battle plan。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。

The hall of the war room of Fu Zuoyi's headquarters is very large, and Li Ming has a large map sand table, which is inserted with red flags, including the Kuomintang sunny day and white sun flag, and the five-star red flag of our army, and the sand table is being simulated and demonstrated. Commander Fu Zuoyi held a baton with white gloves and commanded... Yuan Pu, commander of the 16th Army, An Chunshan, commander of the 104th Army, Guo Jingyun, commander of the 35th Army, and Yuan Qingrong, commander of the 105th Army.

Sun Lanfeng, commander of the 12th Army, Commander Dong Qiwu, Commander Wei Jinglin, and other division commanders and regiment commanders have all arrived。。。。。 Everyone is discussing, sand table map 。。。。。。。。。。 All the division commanders and army commanders said that the communist army had poor weapons, low combat, and was vulnerable, but Fu Zuoyi did not think so of the communist army's troops。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。

Chief Fu Zuoyi was still very cautious in holding meetings to study, and even asked the guards to control the headquarters, and the army commanders, division commanders, and regiment commanders at all levels who held the meeting could not leave the war department, and the guards sent them over for meals. Bear with me, generals! Comprehension comprehension。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。

During the Inner Front Campaign from July 1946 ~ April 1947, although the area of the liberated areas decreased, most of them were able to weaken the enemy with a war of annihilation. For example, Su Yu fought with 120,000 Kuomintang troops in the Soviet Union with 43,000 troops, fought seven battles and won seven victories, and it took one and a half months to annihilate more than 56,000 enemies; for example, He Long led the weaker troops of the Jinsui Liberated Area to launch the Northern Shanxi Campaign against Yan Xishan, destroying more than 8,000 enemies in two months. Looking at the whole country, only the Jin-Cha-Ji Liberated Area (later the northern half of the North China Military Region) neither annihilated the enemy nor captured the city, and was defeated by Fu Zuoyi in the Datong-Jining Campaign, and was forced to abandon Zhangjiakou, the capital of the liberated area, and lost both people and land.

The start was not smooth, and the next step was difficult. From April to July 1947, the liberated areas began to implement the strategy of the outer line one after another, and only Jin-Cha-Ji was still making up for the inner line. At this time, the summer offensive of Lin Biao's army on the northern front set off the prelude to a major counteroffensive, and the army of Liu Deng on the southern front advanced into Dabie Mountain, and the two corps of Chen Su (Chen Yi, Su Yu) and Chen Xie (Chen Geng, Xie Fuzhi) responded from the east and west respectively. Even Peng Dehuai's corps, which has a strength of 30,000 or 40,000 troops, and Hu Zongnan's group, which has a strength of 400,000 troops, can win successive battles. Only the Jin-Cha-Ji Corps was still engaged in the Zhengtai, Qingcang, and Baobei campaigns piecemeal, and fought small-scale battles at the junction of the Kuomintang groups in an attempt to get rid of the strategic passive situation.

The Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region and the Shanxi-Hebei-Shandong-Henan Military Region on the south side were merged into the North China Military Region, and the territory controlled by Nie Rongzhen was several times larger. But this did not change the balance of forces in North China, as the newly merged region was supporting several other field armies on expeditions.

The first main force sent by Shanxi, Hebei, Luyu and Yu before was Liu Deng's army, that is, the main force of the second field army later, which had just turned out of Dabie Mountain at this time and was ready to go to the southern battlefield. In addition, Chen Geng Xie Fuzhi's troops, as a semi-independent field force, also attacked the west side of Liu Deng's army, which also grew to 100,000 at this time. The last local troops of Shanxi, Hebei, Shandong, and Henan formed the First Corps in North China, led by Xu Xiangqian, and were besieging Taiyuan. These troops occupied the number of field troops in Shanxi, Hebei, Shandong, and Henan, and also occupied the logistical resources of North China, and they were temporarily unable to support the Pingjin battlefield. In addition, the Jireliao troops were included in the Northeast Military Region, and the troops that could be used in the Pingjin direction of the North China Military Region were still the old foundation of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Field Army, which had only one corps for a long time, and had just formed a second corps on the eve of the Pingjin Campaign, with a total of 130,000 field troops.

On the 31st, under the command of Zhang Zongxun, more than 100,000 troops of our army began to attack the Kuomintang army, 7 regiments of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region, plus 6 brigades launched an attack on the positions of the national army, the engineer brigade, the artillery regiment, and the 358 brigade attacked other positions, the combat effectiveness of the national army is also very strong, all heavy machine guns, and heavy artillery units, the forward position is the position of the 16th army of the national army, the position of the 104th army, the flank is the position of the 12th army of the national army, the 35th army, the 105th army has not yet been dispatched to fight. After two salvos of our artillery, 7 regiments and 6 brigades of less than 30,000 people braved the enemy's artillery fire and began to charge, the PLA soldiers were blocked by the fire network of the national army, and the soldiers of the national army continued to fall, and the positions of the national army soldiers also fell, and the fierce fighting on both sides was damaged for several days, and the battle was very fierce, and the firepower of the national army was very strong, and the soldiers rushed several times and the six brigades suffered heavy losses.

On August 15, several regiments took turns to attack the positions of the national army, and wave after wave of soldiers made a sieve for the heavy machine guns of the national army, and commander Zhang Zongxun took a telescope to look at the artillery position for me to move forward 500 meters, and fiercely attacked the machine gun position of the national army, and the soldiers began to move more than 150 cannons, and after 20 minutes, the artillery of the troops opened fire on the forward positions of the national army, and more than 20 heavy machine guns blew up the shells。。。。。。。。。。。。。 Fu Zuoyi looked at it with a telescope and soon discovered the artillery position of our army, and the artillery of the national army was soon destroyed by the artillery of the national army under the command of Fu Zuoyi.

The 16th Army of the National Army then came up with a batch of heavy machine guns and then fired, on the afternoon of the 18th, the three regiments were not fully formed, after a round of hands **, the National Army fell, the soldiers began to charge but the flank of the National Army was killed, the soldiers fell a large piece, the battle lasted on September 15, the National Army suffered great losses, and our army also lost a lot, at this time our Army violently began to attack the National Army troops, and when the troops immediately surrounded the National Army troops, the bombers of the National Army came, and our Army was devastated, and the reinforcements of the National Army were about to arrive, Our losses were heavy, and around September 18 our troops had not yet taken this position, and then the troops retreated when they received the order to retreat。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。
