1948165438+1on the morning of October 5th, while Xuzhou was holding a military meeting under the auspices of Gu, Herry Liu and Du, Huang and Qiu Qingquan were arguing about who would attack the main force of the * * * army first, and the East China Field Army went hand in hand with three hundred thousand troops in multiple columns, from north to south, and even people with a little military knowledge. Huang returned to Xin 'an Town accompanied by Major General "Presidential Field Inspector" sent by Nanjing. 165438+1On the morning of October 6, Huang held a military meeting in Xin 'an Town, which was attended by commanders and teachers, demanding that the whole army move quickly to Xuzhou. Huang himself sat on the Diaoyutai, held his ground, and waited for the forty-four troops stationed in Haizhou to evacuate to Xin 'an Town before leaving for the west, which delayed two precious days. At this time, the East China Field Army, the Central Plains Field Army, the Northern Jiangsu Corps and local armed forces have completed the strategy of encircling the Yellow River for aid. A People's Liberation Army cut off the connection between Xuzhou and Huangxi, occupied Caobaji and Damiao Railway Station in xuzhou east, and cut off the entrance to Huangxi as the enemy of xuzhou east's aid. The Northern Jiangsu Corps pursued from south to north along the railway, and the East China Field Army, one from north to south and the other from east to west, squeezed the Yellow Corps1.2000 troops into the narrow encirclement of Nianzhuang, which is more than 0 km from east to west. 165438+1October 10, the PLA launched an attack. After 12 days of fierce fighting, by the morning of165438+122, most of the Yellow Corps had been annihilated, and Nianzhuangxu, the headquarters of the Corps, had been captured by the People's Liberation Army. Huang had to take a few followers to escape to the compound village where the 64th Army and Liu Jun were located. After lunch, Huang said to Liu sadly, I am old (I was 49 years old at that time) and ill. As a prisoner, I can't walk. I'm embarrassed. I might as well sacrifice myself. Some people know that loyal Kuomintang people may wake up those who lead a drunken life, so there may be hope for the Kuomintang. Liu is still young, so he should do something for the party and the country. ... to show that he will never be a prisoner. Liu persuaded: Commander, we are all loyal to the party and the country ... Liu Ye opened the suitcase, put on a big dress, hung up medals and put on boots, and said to Huang, deputy commander Wade and chief of staff: Be prepared to be loyal to the party and the country. On the afternoon of 22nd, Huang, Liu and others fled to Baguazhuang, where the headquarters of the 64th Army156th Division is located, and Chen, the commander of the 25th Army, and Yang, the deputy commander, also fled to Baguazhuang. When Huang Yi heard that this village was called Wuzhuang, he sighed: This Wuzhuang is where I was buried. Because "Wu Zhuang" and "I am buried" are homophonic. Huang is also superstitious.
At about 4 pm on the 22nd, the People's Liberation Army stormed Baguazhuang, fighting fiercely until dusk, and adowa the garrison of Baguazhuang, capturing Wade, Major General and Huang Jue, deputy commander and chief of staff of the 64th Army. Where are Huang, Liu, Chen, Yang and others?
Li Ming, a reporter from Xinhua News Agency, was ordered to "live to see people and die to go to hell". He must find out the whereabouts of Huang. He took a few scouts, and spent a long time searching Huang's last compound, Baguazhuang and other villages and Kuomintang prisoners, and searched all the fortifications and remaining houses. Still no trace of Huang was found.
According to Du's capture, after the Nianzhuang campaign, he met Yang, the deputy commander of the 25th Army who fled from Wuzhuang to Xuzhou in Xuzhou. Ask him if he knows the whereabouts of Commander Huang? He said: On the night of the 22nd, it was dark. Huang, Liu, Chen and others saw that the situation was critical and took their own people to break through. Liu rushed out and died. Chen's whereabouts are unknown. Commander Huang and I broke through and came to a small house nearby. When we saw the PLA in all directions, we couldn't walk any further. Commander Huang immediately shot himself, but he didn't die. After Huang's death, he cried bitterly, and the army came to question him, saying that he was a chef. The chef's head died and he was his brother. Because he and the commander were dressed as soldiers, the * * * army did not pursue them. They buried the body of the commander, marked it and ran out. ..... Yang Jian spoke vividly and admired Huang and Liu's loyalty to the party and the country.
Who knows that seven years later, Du met Liu Hechen at the Capitol War Crimes Management Office in Beijing. When asked, it turned out that Liu was captured that night after breaking through the Eight Diagrams Array. Chen made up with Yan and fled back to Nanjing. Chiang Kai-shek ordered him to re-form the new 25 th Army, remain as the commander, drive to Fujian, and be captured by the People's Liberation Army.
Under the guidance of Yang, he spent a lot of money to hire local farmers to dig up Huang's body and smuggle it to Nanjing on June 5438+49 10/7. 1On October 26th, he was buried in Gulei Mountain outside Nanjing Taiping Gate.
Did Huang commit suicide? Or was it killed by the People's Liberation Army? Has become a mystery in history.
