60 warriors outwitted 2,000 soldiers: a psychological warfare in the war of liberation
During the War of Liberation, bullets rained down, and life and death were on the line. Victory or defeat often depends on the strength of the troops and the quality of the weapons. In the winter of 1948, Gongtang Town, Yutai County, Shandong Province, staged an incredible war miracle: with only more than 40 PLA soldiers, more than 2,000 Kuomintang soldiers successfully laid down their arms and surrendered voluntarily. How did this legendary battle, where less wins more, happen?
Relying on its absolute superiority in strength, the Kuomintang army tightly surrounded the fourth company of the second battalion of the 52nd Regiment of the People's Liberation Army in the ruins of Gongtang Town. The soldiers of the fourth company, under the leadership of the company commander Zhu Xingzhen, resisted stubbornly. They knew it was a battle of disparity, but they didn't flinch in the slightest. The bullets are decreasing, and the hope is dim, but the faith in their hearts is becoming more and more firm.
The enemy's artillery fire was fierce, and the positions of the four companies were constantly compressed. Zhu Xingzhen commanded the soldiers to take advantage of the terrain and engage the enemy. They flexibly use tactics, break up into pieces, and change places with one shot, so as to kill and damage the enemy to the maximum. Despite the increasing casualties, they did not give up and became more courageous.
The fighting continued to be deadlocked, with both sides paying a heavy price. At this critical moment, an unexpected news came: the Kuomintang brigade commander Xie Maoquan asked to surrender! This sudden change made Zhu Xingzhen and his soldiers feel unbelievable. Why did more than 2,000 enemy troops voluntarily surrender?
Tse's surrender was not impulsive, but a deliberate decision. He was shocked by the bravery and tenacity of the soldiers of the Fourth Company, and was even more impressed by their spirit of sacrifice for the sake of their faith. He knew that such an army had invincible spiritual strength. Instead of continuing the pointless battle, it is better to choose surrender and preserve strength.
The victory in this battle was not only a military victory, but also a spiritual victory. With their courage and faith, the soldiers of the Fourth Company proved that "spiritual strength is stronger than weapons". Not only did they defeat their enemies, but they also earned their respect.
The battle also provoked deep thought: what allowed this small and poorly equipped PLA team to defeat a formidable enemy? Is it a clever use of tactics? Is it the bravery of the warriors? Or is it that indestructible revolutionary conviction? Perhaps, it is the perfect combination of these three that has created a miracle in the history of this war.
This battle also taught us that we should not give up lightly under any circumstances. Even in the face of a powerful enemy, it is necessary to maintain a strong belief and move forward bravely. Because, the power of faith, can work miracles.
summary
This battle, which took place in Gongtang Town, with its dramatic ending, has become a classic case in the history of the Liberation War. It not only shows the heroic tenacity and superb tactical literacy of the PLA, but also reveals the important role of the power of faith in warfare. The victory in this battle is not only a military victory, but also a spiritual victory, and it inspires future generations to strengthen their conviction and forge ahead courageously in the face of any difficulties and challenges. So in the end, I would like to ask: If you were Xie Maoquan, how would you choose in the face of such a heroic and tenacious opponent? Hold your ground or surrender? What do you think about this?
