After the victory of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, the Kuomintang mobilized a large number of troops to attack the liberated areas while conducting peace negotiations with the Communist Party, among them, Fu Zuoyi, commander of the 12th Theater of the Kuomintang Army, mobilized the main force under his jurisdiction and more than 60,000 puppet troops under his jurisdiction, first captured Guisui (now Hohhot), and then successively occupied Wuchuan, Zhuozishan, Taolin, Qingshuihe, Liangcheng, Jining, Fengzhen, Xinghe, Shangyi and other towns and the vast areas of Suidong and Suinan, and its new cavalry 4th Division, 35th, 67th, The provisional 3rd Army and other units were assembled along the Pingsui Road from Fengzhen to Guisui, and the 5th and 1st Cavalry Divisions and 1st Brigade of the Suimeng Puppet Army were in Liangcheng and Taolin respectively. He also attempted to capture Zhangjiakou and control the entire line of the Pingsui Railway (from Beiping to Guisui), in a vain attempt to force the Chinese Communist Party to be at a disadvantage in the KMT-CCP talks, and to expand its strength.

In order to counter the offensive of the Kuomintang army, eliminate Fu Zuoyi's main force, recover and return to Suiyuan, liberate Suiyuan, and effectively secure the strategic base area with Zhangjiakou as the center, the Central Military Commission of the Communist Party of China instructed the Jin-Cha-Ji and Jinsui Military Regions to gather the main forces and organize the Suiyuan Campaign. In order to achieve this goal, the Central Military Commission instructed on October 22, 1946: "If the Fu troops stick to Guisui, they will first occupy Baotou, Wuyuan, and Guyang, so that the Fu troops will go on a hunger strike to break through the encirclement, and then annihilate them." If I can advance quickly, I may be able to occupy Suisui quickly." On the 27th, he further emphasized: "In this operation, we must achieve the goal of annihilating Fu Yan's main force, and we should move our main force behind Fu Yan's position and fight from west to east before we can gather and annihilate." ”

According to the instructions of the Central Military Commission, Nie Rongzhen, commander and political commissar of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region

He Long, commander of the Jinsui Military Region, decided to concentrate the three columns of the Jin-Cha-Ji Military Region, the Jicha Column (Commander Guo Tianmin, with jurisdiction over the 4th, 5th, and 6th Brigades), the Hebei-Jin Column (Commander Chen Zhengxiang under the jurisdiction of the 10th, 11th, and 12th Brigades), the Hebei-Jin Column (Commander Chen Zhengxiang under the jurisdiction of the 10th, 11th, and 12th Brigades), the 5 brigades of the Jinsui Military Region, and the first section of the local troops, with a total of 14 brigades and more than 53,000 troops, to launch the Suiyuan Campaign. The operational deployment was as follows: to attack from east to west with the Jin-Cha-Ji troops, first to annihilate the enemies of Longshengzhuang and Zhanggao, and then to annihilate the enemies between Fengzhen and Jining; After annihilating the enemy in Liangcheng, Taolin and other places, the Jin Sui troops developed an offensive against Jining. After that, the two districts continued to work together to annihilate the enemy in the eastern part of Suiyuan

Commander of the 12th Theater of the National Army, Second Class General Fu Zuoyi, Commander of the New 3rd Army, Lieutenant General Sun Lanfeng (New 10th Division, New 11th Division, New 17th Division), Commander of the 4th Cavalry Army Lieutenant General Yuan Qingrong (New 3rd Cavalry Division, New 4th Cavalry Division) Fu Zuoyi served as the Supreme Commander

Within half a month of He Long's arrival on the Shanxi front, Chiang Kai-shek, while conducting peace talks with the Chinese Communist Party, mobilized troops and attacked the liberated areas along the Pingsui, Tongpu, Jinpu, and Pinghan railways, colluding with the Japanese puppet army to seize cities and communication arteries. By the beginning of September, in North China, Yan Xishan dispatched 7 armies to occupy the Tongpu Road with the main force; Fu Zuoyi dispatched 4 armies and 1 cavalry division, and after capturing Baotou, Guisui, Jining and other cities, he marched eastward along the Pingsui Road, and the vanguard troops pointed directly at Zhangjiakou; In East China and the Central Plains, Chiang Kai-shek mobilized a large number of troops to seize cities along the Pinghan and Jinpu roads, in an attempt to quickly control strategic points and communication routes, divide the liberated areas, and open up access roads to seize the northeast. In order to break Chiang Kai-shek's attempt, the Central Military Commission of the Communist Party of China decided to continue to clear out the remnants of the Japanese puppet strongholds and open up the battlefield along the Tongpu, Pingsui, Pinghan, and Jinpu railways, and then concentrate the main forces and organize several campaigns to strike at the invading Kuomintang troops, so as to delay the enemy's advance, consolidate the liberated areas of North and East China, cover the strategic development of the whole army in readjusting its deployment, especially in the northeast, strengthen the position of the Communist Party of China in the peace talks, and strive to achieve peace.

The Central Military Commission of the Communist Party of China issued a directive on fighting for the entire territory of Suichare, pointing out: Fu Zuoyi, seize Guisui, continue to advance eastward, and Yan Xishan will extend northward after occupying Taiyuan; under such circumstances, it is no longer possible for us to strive for Taiyuan, and we should concentrate our forces to consolidate the occupation of Zhangjiakou. For this reason, the Military Commission demanded that the Jinsui Field Army not only leave a part of its forces to contain Yan Xishan, but also transfer the main force from the vicinity of Taiyuan to Suiyuan to attack Fu Zuoyi. After receiving the telegram, He Long immediately replied: He personally led the five main forces in the Jinzhong area to immediately go north first, and strive to rush to Youyu to assemble in 16 days. Zhang Zongxun, commander and political commissar of the Luliang Military Region, and Luo Guibo, deputy political commissar, remained in Jinzhong to carry out the task of containing Yan Xishan.

General He Long in accordance with the orders of Chairman Mao of the Communist Party of China. He mobilized the four main brigades of the Jinsui Field Army and the cavalry brigade of the Suimeng Military Region to participate in the Suiyuan Campaign. Nie Rongzhen ordered 3 columns and 9 brigades of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region to participate in the battle. A total of 14 brigades and 53,000 men were used in this campaign. In view of the large number of troops participating in the battle in the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region, He Long sent a telegram to the Central Military Commission of the Communist Party of China on 1 October, suggesting that the Suiyuan Campaign be under the unified command of Nie Rongzhen, commander of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region. The Central Committee of the Communist Party of China adopted He Long's suggestion. The deployment of the Suiyuan campaign agreed upon by Nie and He was as follows: The troops of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region attacked from east to west, first annihilating the enemies in Longshengzhuang and Zhangxinzhen, and then breaking the enemies between Fengzhen and Jining; The troops of the Jinsui Military Region attacked from the south to the north, after eliminating the enemy in Liangcheng, Xintang, and Tiancheng Village, they developed an offensive in the direction of Jining; Then, the troops of the two districts continued to work together to annihilate the enemy in the eastern part of Suiyuan.

It was the first time that the troops of the two military regions had coordinated to carry out a large corps operation, and how to do a good job in the coordinated action of the campaign was a question that He Long had been thinking about. At a mobilization meeting held in the north square of Zuoyun City, he said: "In the past, we basically fought guerrilla warfare against the Japanese devils, but now we have to fight with large corps and mobile warfare, and the troops of the two major regions must fight in coordination. He emphatically pointed out: "Our troops have many veterans and are very brave, but do not be proud. When we go to Suidong to fight a war this time, we must respect the local party and cherish the local troops. This should be made clear. The combat effectiveness of our army is made up of a variety of factors. It is very important to love the people and support the people, without which you cannot win the war. He particularly stressed: "We must take the initiative to unite with the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei troops. Without the cooperation and support of friendly and neighboring forces, how can we fight a good war? We must respect, cherish, and unite with our friendly neighbors, which is the glorious tradition of the people's army. ”

On October 17, He Long led the main force of the Jinsui Field Army to cross the Great Wall in the north and march to Suidong, marching on the high mountains and mountains. He Long was 49 years old at the time, suffering from high blood pressure, gallstones and chronic gastroenteritis, and although he had not had any major seizures recently, he was tormented by the pain due to the fatigue of the saddle horse. Doctors know this best, and they are often worried about his physical condition. However, He Long didn't mind this, along the way, he was hungry and gnawed dry steamed buns with everyone; If you are thirsty, drink a glass of spring water. There were jokes and witty remarks, which amazed the doctors and security personnel.

On October 18, the Battle of Suiyuan was unveiled. Jin-Cha-Ji troops conquered Zhanggao and Longshengzhuang; The Jin Sui troops occupied Liangcheng and Taolin, and annihilated the enemy's 35th Army and the 1st Cavalry Brigade. Seeing this scene, Fu Zuoyi hurriedly shrank his forces and ordered his troops to quickly concentrate on Guisui. On the 21st, the military headquarters of the 67th Army and its new 26th Division withdrew from Fengzhen to Zhuozishan, the 32nd Division withdrew to Fushengzhuang and Sandaoying, and the 5th Puppet Mongolian Cavalry Division withdrew from Xintang to Liusumu. He Long closely watched the enemy's movements. saw Fu Zuoyi's attempt to hurriedly clench his five fingers that had been separated into fists. He thought that if he did not seize the opportunity and deal with it appropriately, the enemy would soon concentrate on Sui. In this way, not only will it not be possible to annihilate each of them, but it will also cause difficulties for the development of the campaign. He Long immediately made a decision, decided to change the plan to go east to Jining and Fengzhen, and ordered the Jinsui troops south of the Pingsui Railway to swing north, go straight to Zhuozi Mountain, cut off the enemy, and create a favorable situation; At the same time, he ordered the Duer Brigade and the Cavalry Brigade, which had arrived in Shangdu, to quickly move south and encircle Zhuozi Mountain

Zhuozi Mountain is 75 kilometers east of Guisui, north of the gray Tengliang of Daqing Mountain, the terrain is higher, the Pingsui Railway passes through the town, the east to Jining, the west leads to Guisui and Baotou, a highway north to Taolin, south to Liangcheng, is a transportation hub in Suidong, the barrier of Guisui. Fu Zuoyi telegraphed He Wending, commander of the 67th Army, to hold out here for January so that he could adjust his deployment. When he learned that the defenders of Zhuo Zishan showed signs of escape, he immediately instructed that he should attack without losing any time. Don't lose time because our troops have just arrived and are not familiar with the situation. You have to speed up the investigation of the enemy situation while deploying for battle. The situation has changed, and it can be adjusted at any time, and it cannot be done step by step. He said: "Only by fighting quickly will we be able to defeat the reinforced enemy individually and annihilate them all, which will demoralize the entrenched enemy and create conditions for the development of the campaign." You tell the troops to be brave and tenacious, fight and rush, and capture He Wending alive! ”

At 8 p.m. on the 24th, the attack began. The main attacking force was brave and resourceful, quickly occupied the commanding heights, and then, interspersed and divided, annihilating the enemy one by one. They gave full play to their specialties in night combat and close combat, and the battle developed extremely rapidly. The battle lasted all night, and He Long stayed awake all night in the command post. On the morning of the 5th, the battle ended victoriously, annihilating more than 4,000 people of the newly formed 26th Division, and capturing Lieutenant General Zhang Shizhi, the commander of the division. What about Ho Wending? As soon as the battle began, he snuck away. However, the 101st Division, the main force of the Fu Zuoyi group, which withdrew from Jining to the west, came to reinforce the reinforcements, although it was stubbornly resisted by the 1st Brigade, but due to the lack of unity of command from above, the 2nd Brigade could not arrive on time, allowing the 101st Division to flee to Guisui. He Long later said: "If the 2nd Independent Brigade catches up, we will fight the 101st Division." The 101st Division was not annihilated and fled, and Fu Zuoyi's confidence in returning to Sui increased. ”

The deployment of the siege of Sui decided by Nie Rongzhen and He Long was: the Jicha Column and the Ji-Jin Column of the Jin-Cha-Ji Field Army attacked westward along the foothills of Daqing Mountain, cleared the enemy north of Pingsui Road, and surrounded Guisui from the north; The losses of the troops were very large, and Commander He Long saw that there was no hope for the siege, and then sent a report to Chairman Mao, in order to preserve the power and lay the foundation for the future counteroffensive, the troops began to repair. After the order to retreat was received, the troops began to abandon the siege plan and the troops began to retreat。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。
