Surprise attack on the old estuary, Gucheng 1948. On July 2, 2008, Liuzong launched a long-distance attack from Tanghe area in western Henan to Laohekou. When we arrived at Laohekou that day, the 487th Regiment of the Garrison 163 Brigade had retreated to Gucheng, and the Six Longitudinal Commanders crossed the Han River to pursue them. The troops of the Southern Shaanxi Military Region moved eastward from Caodian, Xun County, Hubei Province. Commander Liu ordered two battalions of the regiment to stop the enemy who might flee westward on both sides of the Han River west of Laohekou, and ordered the 34th regiment to attack Shihua Street. At dawn on July 3, a battalion of the 34th Regiment of the South Shaanxi 12 Brigade launched a surprise attack on the enemy troops crossing the mountain pass to the west of Gucheng, annihilating most of the enemy companies and occupying positions. When the enemy troops on the defensive in Gucheng County heard the arrival of the People's Liberation Army, they panicked and hurriedly abandoned the city and fled to Laojun Mountain.

The 28th Brigade of Tongbai Military Region entered the Zhangjiaji area east of Fancheng to contain and monitor the enemy in Xiangyang. At this point, the first phase of the Xiangfan campaign ended successfully [2]. Xiangyang was in a state of panic. The People's Liberation Army quickly wiped out Gucheng and the main force of the enemy 163 brigade who escaped from Laohekou, and on the evening of July 4 and 5, 1948 approached Xiangyang as scheduled along the banks of the Han River. On 0/5 of Xiangfan Campaign/KLOC, the PLA launched a general attack on Xiangyang City. The troops were deployed in a highly centralized way, with all six columns as the breakthrough point-Ximen. The 12th Brigade of southern Shaanxi attacked from the northeast corner, and the 28th Brigade of Tongbai waded into the city from the southeast corner. At 20: 20 on June 5, 5438+05, Mr. Liu bombed Ximen and its two sides with various heavy weapons, * * * destroyed five turrets and three bunkers in front, back and north of Ximen, and covered the engineers for four consecutive explosions. Commandos took advantage of the enemy's shock and smoke to launch a charge and successfully passed the 100-meter-long Dashiqiao and rushed to the city wall. When the ladder leading to Chengtou was blown off, the ladder was used to quickly climb the Chengtou, which continuously defeated the enemy's 10 counterattack and consolidated the breakthrough. At the same time, the thirty-fifth regiment of the twelve brigades in southern Shaanxi and the eighty-third regiment of the twenty-eighth brigade in Tongbai, which attacked the city from the northeast corner, reached Chengtou after fierce fighting and great sacrifice. After entering the city, the three forces went hand in hand according to the predetermined plan, bravely advanced, divided and surrounded the enemy, quickly confused the enemy's command system, and made the enemy ignore each other and be paralyzed. After a fierce battle all night. 16 in the morning, our army completely controlled Xiangyang city. After the ministries joined forces, they surrounded the headquarters of 15 in the appeasement area of Yangjia Ancestral Hall. The Yangjia Ancestral Temple is a quadrangular courtyard with a regular rectangle and no houses around it. There are two strong bunkers at the four corners of the ancestral hall, and there is a three-story main bunker in the center. There is a tunnel from the commander's residence to the main bunker. 15 night, our army invaded the city, Kang Ze hid in the tunnel, and only Guo Xunqi commanded the central bunker. The phone was disconnected all night. I don't know what happened. 16 in the morning, the people in the headquarters looked at the four gates from the top of the bunker, only to see the white flag standing on the wall, then they knew that Xiangyang City had been controlled by the People's Liberation Army, and they became turtles in a jar. In the afternoon, when the attack began, our military engineers exploded, machine guns, rifles and grenades, and the morale in the headquarters completely collapsed. We elected representatives to negotiate with Kang Ze and Guo Xunqi, asking them to lay down their arms and strive for leniency. Kang Ze wore a helmet in the central bunker and refused to speak. In fact, he was stunned. Guo Xunqi had to fight back and ordered the machine gunner to shoot. Before long, the PLA rushed into the yard. A Grenade was stuffed into the shooting hole of the bunker with a loud bang. The people under the bunker were either dead or injured, and some shouted "Stop fighting!" " Guo Xunqi was forced out of the bunker, and then Kang Ze was captured by our army and became a prisoner of the People's Liberation Army.
