Rebirth: I am in Jin-Cha-Ji
Page 958
The rebels first attacked Zamu, a key transportation hub on the Sichuan-Tibet Highway. Once the rebels captured Zamu, they could cut off the Sichuan-Tibet Highway.
In order to capture Zamu, the rebels made many preparations. They destroyed the Sichuan-Tibet Highway, specifically the section between Chamdo and Zamu, and burned the Tongma Bridge over the Yigong Zangbo River. Their goal was to prevent reinforcements from arriving.
The rebels gathered more than 2300 people and attacked Zamu.
Zheng Weishan wanted to draw out all the rebels, but he also wanted
We can’t really affect the overall situation, and we can’t let the rebels really take over Zamu. So in the past few months, we have quietly increased the number of troops in Zamu, and currently there is a company of troops stationed in Zamu.
Zamu was also wary of taking it lightly. He knew the news of the rebels gathering couldn't be hidden from him. Zamu's work with the masses was excellent, and when the surrounding people heard about the rebels, they all ran to Zamu and told the troops about the rebels.
While reporting to their superiors, the Zamu County Party Committee immediately mobilized everyone to build 17 blockhouses, 61 bunkers, a 1200-meter communication trench, and nine wells. Of course, these were relatively simple fortifications.
Soon, the rebels began their assault on Zamu. They outnumbered the rebels, armed with mortars airlifted in by the US military. While the PLA was outnumbered, they were comprised of battle-hardened troops with formidable combat effectiveness. So, despite outnumbering the garrison at Zamu by more than ten times, the rebels were unable to break through quickly.
"Commander-in-Chief, Chief, something is wrong."
The troops that besieged Zamu were the religious guards and the local chief's troops.
This unit is very special because its military adviser is Jiang Huating, an artillery battalion commander who defected from the People's Liberation Army and holds the rank of captain.
Jiang Huating was a veteran who joined the Eighth Route Army in Shandong during the Anti-Japanese War and studied at the Northeast Artillery Academy during the War of Liberation. He was considered a very promising cadre in the army.
The reason why Jiang Huating defected was that after he entered Tibet, he suddenly wondered why the Tibetan nobles lived a luxurious life, while he, as a hero who had conquered the world, still lived such a simple life in Tibet.
The relaxation of ideological problems made Jiang Huating begin to degenerate, and he even used his power to maintain relationships with two Tibetan women. As a result, the matter was exposed and the military district was ready to deal with Jiang.
Jiang Huating knew he would be punished, so he simply chose to defect from the People's Liberation Army and ran to the bandit armed Weijiao Army led by Gongbu Zhaxi.
Jiang Huating was a veteran with exceptional tactical skills. The Tibet Military Region had previously failed in their attempts to annihilate the Weijiao Army, precisely because Jiang Huating was so familiar with the PLA's methods of combat. He was able to cleverly escape each time.
There are even historical rumors that the Tibetan Military Region offered a reward of 40,000 silver coins for the capture of Jiang Huating, which shows how destructive Jiang Huating was to Tibet.
This time, the Tibetan upper class launched a full-scale rebellion, and the first step to attack Zamu was Jiang Huating's suggestion. Jiang Huating knew the strength of the Tibetan rebels, and the only way to defeat the Tibetan Liberation Army was to cut off their logistical supplies. Therefore, he chose Zamu.
But after a few hours of fighting, Jiang Huating felt
He felt something was amiss, so he immediately found the commander-in-chief of the Weijiao Army, Gongbu Zhaxi, and the local leader Cai Dao.
"What's wrong?"
Gongbu Zhaxi still attaches great importance to Jiang Huating.
If it weren't for Jiang Huating, this bandit group wouldn't have known how to use tactics or the mortars supported by the US military.
Jiang Huating said with a somewhat grim expression: "We didn't keep it secret before, and it's understandable that Zamu heard some rumors and made some preparations. But listen to the gunshots, the strength of Zamu's troops is wrong. According to our previous intelligence, Zamu only has one reinforced platoon. But it is obvious that Zamu's troops are more than that, at least 99
"So what?"
Cai Dao didn't understand what Jiang Huating meant.
It's just a force of more than 100 people. They prepared 2300 people and brought out all their capital, so why are they afraid of these 100 people?
Jiang Huating felt helpless. If he hadn't violated the rules, how could he have cooperated with these idiots?
But Jiang Huating had no other choice, so he could only patiently explain: "The Tibet Military Region itself is understaffed, and it's already stretched thin in some important areas. Therefore, most county towns are garrisoned by only one platoon or a reinforced platoon, and some less important areas are even guarded by only one squad. Transportation in Tibet is very poor, so supply is extremely difficult. As long as we don't cause a major disturbance, the PLA will not enter Tibet in large numbers."
"Zhamu is a very important transportation line in Tibet.
"It's a place where normally only a reinforced platoon is stationed, equipped with a light machine gun, due to the lack of manpower in the Tibet Military Region. But now there's a whole company of troops stationed in Zamu, and they're even equipped with heavy machine guns, which shows that the PLA is already prepared."
"This is very disadvantageous to us. The PLA is very good at infiltrating, especially cutting off our retreat. I'm worried that the PLA already has troops around Zamu and may very well cut off our retreat."
After listening to Jiang Huating's words, Cai Dao sneered: "You are talking about the PLA as if they were heavenly soldiers and generals. It's not like we haven't fought with the PLA in the past few years, and we are still living well. Gongbu Zhaxi, take down Zamu, and Tibet will be ours.
"Ah."
Gongbu Zhaxi nodded and agreed with Cai Dao's words. Although Gongbu Zhaxi relied on Jiang Huating, Jiang Huating was the only one who could solve the problem.
A member of the People's Liberation Army, he is a Han Chinese from the Central Plains. At this critical moment of Tibetan "independence", Gongbu Zhaxi still trusts his own people more.
So he said, "There are only a little over 100 of them. We have four mortars supported by the Americans. We will blast their positions open and capture Zamu as soon as possible. You also said that the Tibet Military Region is short of troops, so it is impossible for many reinforcements to arrive."
"Commander-in-Chief, we have no advantage in a face-to-face battle. Even though they only have a few hundred men, it won't be easy for us to capture Zamu. We can easily be surrounded by the PLA troops."
Jiang Huating was really anxious.
If there were only a few dozen more people, Jiang Huating would not have made such a judgment. But what worried Jiang Huating was that after the fight, Zamu's troops actually had two heavy machine guns.
This is no small matter.
It is difficult, so if there is no preparation, it is impossible for Zamu to be equipped with two heavy machine guns.
But Gongbu Zhaxi waved his hand and said, "You go and command our artillery. We must capture Zhamu today."
Seeing Gongbu Zhaxi dismiss Jiang Huating, Cai Dao immediately said, "These Han Chinese from the Central Plains cannot be trusted. Tibet still needs people like us."
Gongbu Zhaxi also nodded.
Jiang Huating was capable, but the first thing he thought of when encountering something was to escape. This time, all the forces in Tibet that were dissatisfied with the new China were jointly carrying out a military operation.
Among them, conquering Zamu was the top priority. How could we abandon the original plan just because Zamu had a few dozen more people?
So Gongbu Zhaxi ordered his troops to continue attacking Zhamu.
But Gongbu Zhaxi really overestimated his troops. His troops were familiar with Tibet, so they could evade the PLA's encirclement and suppression. However, siege warfare was not Gongbu Zhaxi's strong point.
Although their weapons and equipment were not bad, this army of more than 2000 people had not received any formal training. Therefore, their siege tactics were not considered to be very effective.
But the PLA troops stationed in Zamu were different. Although they had not fought a serious battle in a long time, they were originally PLA field troops, so they fought defensive battles with ease.
So after fighting for more than ten hours, the rebels were still unable to capture Zamu.
Historically, Gongbu Zhaxi fought Zamu for 13 days but failed to capture Zamu, which only had one reinforced platoon.
Moreover, Zamu now has a company of troops equipped with two heavy machine guns. It is impossible for Gongbu Zhaxi's ragtag group to take them down.
Jiang Huating suggested to Gongbu Zhaxi that the troops should withdraw quickly. But Gongbu Zhaxi, a bandit, got angry and insisted on capturing Zamu.
Jiang Huating was really anxious now because he had sensed danger, but Gongbu Zhaxi didn't listen to him at all.
Just when Jiang Huating was getting anxious, someone suddenly ran over. He came to Gongbu Zhaxi and said breathlessly, "Leader, leader, it's bad. There are Han troops behind us."
When Jiang Huating heard this, he immediately felt a chill in his throat.
The thing Jiang Huating was most worried about happened. The PLA troops cut off everyone's retreat. So he was very
"How many people, how many people?"
"I don't know. There are a lot of them. They are everywhere."
The messenger was so frightened that he was incoherent. Jiang Huating was very angry, but he also knew that the Weijiao Army was originally a bandit force, and it was impossible to expect them to be like the PLA reconnaissance force.
"What now? What now?"
When Gongbu Zhaxi heard that his retreat had been blocked, his face turned pale and he had no idea what to do.
Suddenly seeing Jiang Huating, he immediately grabbed Jiang Huating's hand and said, "What should we do now? Come up with a solution quickly."
"Concentrate your forces and break through the mountain. Go as far as you can.
Jiang Huating had no choice.
The PLA had clearly set a trap and trapped all the Christian Guards. Now there was no other option but to flee, as many as possible.
Gong Shaobu Zhaxi nodded and said, "Yes, retreat, retreat quickly.
It's a pity that it's still the same sentence.
Zheng Weishan has been preparing for several months, how could he let them escape?
All the roads leading into the mountains around Zamu have been blocked by the Independent 1st Regiment from the Qinghai Military Region. How could they possibly give you a chance to escape?
After the fighting broke out in Zamu, rebellion soon broke out throughout Tibet. This was an organized rebellion, so the rebellion in different places was only a few hours apart.
Zheng Weishan was in charge in Lhasa, paying close attention to the news about the suppression of the rebellion.
After the PLA was well prepared, the Tibetan rebels only made a lot of noise but basically achieved nothing.
In Lhasa, Tibetan rebels assembled nearly 188 troops and set out to capture the city. However, a battalion from the 200th Regiment, led by 188 Lhasa police, deployed directly to defend the city. After several hours of fighting, the rebels made no progress. The chaotic attack of several thousand men posed little threat to the th Regiment.
The other two battalions of the 188th Regiment made a detour and easily cut off the rebels' retreat. After their retreat was cut off, the rebels immediately collapsed.
In just seven hours, the 188th Regiment, the police, and the organized serf militia captured more than 5800 rebel soldiers and killed more than 600 on the battlefield, easily resolving the Lhasa rebellion.
On August 8, Tibet revolted in full force, with a total of 16 participants, exceeding expectations. By August 18000, the PLA had captured more than 8 rebels.
There were over 13000 people, more than 2000 of whom were killed on the battlefield. Nearly 3000 people fled in panic, some went back home to hide, and many fled to the mountains to become bandits.
The Tibetan military region successfully suppressed the massive Tibetan rebellion in just two days. All that remained was to eliminate the scattered stragglers.
1111 Attack on India
"Well done! The Tibet Military Region put down the rebellion with 'steady, accurate and swift' tactics this time. Excellent!"
When news of the successful suppression of the rebellion in the Tibet Military Region reached him, Wei Hongjun quickly convened a Politburo meeting. This was because suppressing the rebellion in Tibet was only the first step; the more important question was how Tibet would develop next.
At the Politburo meeting, everyone was delighted to see the detailed battle report submitted by the Tibet Military Region. The previous report on the suppression of the rebellion they had seen was only a preliminary report from the Tibet Military Region. Later, they submitted a detailed report.
When we first heard the news of the Tibetan rebellion, we thought there would be some commotion. Who could have imagined that it would happen so soon?
Good news.
The Tibet Military Region's counterinsurgency campaign was a brilliant one. The Tibetan rebels were completely desperate this time, rallying almost all the forces in Tibet that were opposed to the new China.
For a region with a population of just over one million, a rebel force of around 18000 people emerged. This was quite impressive.
The Tibet Military Region quelled the rebellion in just two days. Although some people escaped, their impact on the overall situation in Tibet was minimal. This was a truly swift and effective solution to Tibet's internal problems.
The Chairman read the telegram and repeatedly praised it. He could not help but say, "This battle was well-planned and well-fought. Even after going to Tibet, Ye Lao Hu is still an ever-victorious general.
The Chairman really praised Zheng Weishan.
Among the cadres from the Fourth Front Army, Zheng Weishan was initially unremarkable. Although Zheng Weishan was a young political commissar of a main force division of the Fourth Front Army, the Fourth Front Army was not short of young senior generals at that time.
During the early years of the War of Resistance Against Japan, many officers of the Fourth Front Army shone brightly in the 129th Division. Chen Xilian, for example, had previously served as a regimental and battalion political commissar under Zheng Weishan. However, his career progressed rapidly during the early stages of the war. One year into the war, he was already deputy commander and then commander of the 385th Brigade.
Many people also performed well in Shandong and the New Fourth Army.
In comparison, Zheng Weishan was not so important in the early days of Jin-Cha-Ji. Marshal Nie was very cautious in using cadres from the Fourth Front Army.
Zheng Weishan came to the Eighth Column and then slowly began to lead the troops alone. He started to shine in Jinchaji at the end of the Anti-Japanese War, and then he rose all the way.
This caught the chairman's attention.
"Yes, this battle was well fought."
Mr. Peng also gave his affirmation.
