Xu Shiyou VS Wang Yaowu, fighting Ji'nan, ended the battle of Ji'nan in 8 days and 8 nights.
Xu Shiyou put forward the famous "bull knife tactics"
commentary: in 1948, the 42 year old Xu Shiyou was the commander of the Shandong Corps. In this year, the war of liberation entered the stage of the decisive battle. In Xibaipo, Mao Zedong's red and blue pencils were repeatedly circled in Ji'nan. In Nanjing, Jiang Jieshi also eyed Ji'nan's worried eyes. Mao Zedong's "second points" Xu Shi you, at the same time Jiang Jieshi called love to Wang Yaowu to Nanjing city. The battle of life and death in the history of the Kuomintang and Communist Party was staged in Ji'nan. Wang Yaowu, a talented student of the Whampoa military academy, had won the highest individual medal in the Kuomintang army, and the "Blue Day Medal" was the leader among the senior generals of the Kuomintang army. He carefully rebuilt and reinforced the original defense system of Ji'nan, and vowed to stay in Ji'nan for at least a month. Now, Xu Shiyou is no longer the "monk" who is so reckless. He has fought a hundred wars. As the command of the city of attack, Xu Shiyou was in the first two days of his arrival at the headquarters of the commanding headquarters, facing a Ji'nan city defense map full of gables, without leaving the office or even saying a word. On the eve of the attack, the ninth column held the Ji'nan oath convention, and Xu Shiyou put forward the famous "Niu Daozi tactics" at the conference.
Shao Zeng (Vice Minister of the Military History Research Department of the Academy of Military Sciences): why the cattle knife tactics are called, the cattle are huge, and the bulls are very aggressive, and they have to throw it down and must hit it at once.
Chen Tingyi: the fortifications in Ji'nan are strong, deep and long, and there are thousands of dark fortifications in Ming Dynasty.
Zhi Shao Zeng: it is hard to fight. If we want to fight down, we must concentrate our strength and firepower and go in and fight.
Chen Tingyi: Xu Shiyou made a joke. I am the master of slaughtering cattle. Your army is the butcher knife in my hands.
commentary: the ninth column known by Xu Shiyou as "slaughtering ox sharp knife" is the outstanding corps led by Nie Fengzhi. In those years of war, Xu Shiyou relied on Nie Fengzhi as Mao Zedong relied on him. 24 hours in September 16, 1948, 30 minutes of rapid attack opened the prelude to the battle of Ji'nan. The ninth column of "slaughtering ox" knives took the east gate of Maoming mountain and Yan Chi mountain in Ji'nan as expected. At dawn on this day, Wang Yaowu had not yet figured out how the two positions in his hands were changed overnight. When he reacted to him, Xu Shiyou's army had come to the city. On the morning of 19, Xu Shiyou's "bottom - up" strategy worked. The Kuomintang army ninety-sixth army commander, Wu Huawen, accepted Xu Shiyou's uprising conditions, gave way to an attack passage and kept the Xu Shiyou force continuing to advance to the depth of the army. Wu Huawen's uprising, no matter the military strength or the morale of the officers and men, made Jiang Jieshi suffer a heavy blow. Wang Yaowu, for this reason, asked Jiang Jieshi to give up Ji'nan, so that he could break through. But the reply he got was "shortening the position and sticking to the aid".
Zhi Shao Zeng: Wang Yaowu had already presentiment that Ji'nan would be lost in his hands. But he estimated that the other side had been fighting for 6 consecutive days and nights, and the casualties would not be too small. Xu Shiyou could move faster, and it would take 35 days to complete the attack.
Chen Tingyi: and behind Jiang Jieshi, reinforcements arrived soon.
Zhi Shao Zeng: Wang Yaowu held that Xu Shiyou would not take his enemy behind his back and take the risk of attacking the outer city.
commentary: this time, Wang Yaowu, who had done a lot of exploits, was wrong. Xu Shiyou did not follow the regular card, neither recuperation nor fear of the enemy, he moved east and west the East and west two lines of the main force, continued to attack Wang Yaowu, not to give each other a trace of adjustment of the deployment of time. Ji'nan's inner city is Wang Yaowu's only remaining line of defense. At 18 in September 23rd, Xu Shiyou launched a total attack on the inner city of Ji'nan. After several attacks and the frustration of the whole line, Hsu broke out the order of perseverance with each other; so, several dozen fierce sawing styles continued for a whole night. In September 24, 1948, when the sun leaped out of the mountains, the city of Ji'nan had changed hands.
MA Dingsheng: 8 days and 8 nights to end the battle of Ji'nan, no matter the offensive and defensive sides, it is beyond everyone's expectation. Jiang Jieshi, who had been supposed to stick to half a year or 3 months, was half doubtful after receiving an urgent report. After the special plane was flying around Ji'nan, he had to believe that Ji'nan was already a "Communist Party", while Mao Zedong in Xibaipo was convinced that great merit had already been completed when he saw the Kuomintang newspaper. Mao Zedong personally revised the editorial of Xinhua news agency, saying: "this great victory" came "unexpectedly fast". In fact, Jiang Jieshi has many guns in military affairs, but in politics, dictatorship is corrupt. As one of the major builders of this miracle, Xu Shiyou returned home for disease after the recrudescence of old injuries after reading the award order of the Central Military Commission at the celebration conference. In 16 years in Jiaodong, Xu Shiyou not only reached the peak of his military career, but also met his third wife, Tian Pu, which was the second hometown of Jiaodong. Then, when Xu Shiyou left Shandong and chose a secretary, he had to add a condition, Jiaodong.
