In the first quarter of 1947, the Shandong Field Army and the Central China Field Army were reorganized into the East China Field Army, with the commander of the Shandong Field Army as the commander and the commander of the Central China Plain as the deputy commander.

Around May 1947, the Battle of Menglianggu was launched.The main force of Huaye implemented tactics to confuse the enemy, causing the enemy to misjudge psychologically. They mistakenly believed that Huaye was "exhausted from the offensive" and might continue to retreat to Zichuan and Boshan in the northeast.So he ordered all the ministries to advance concurrently, follow up and pursue them, so as to achieve the goal of a decisive battle with the main force of Huaye in the mountainous area of ​​Luzhong.In this way, the enemy's alertness is weakened and the enemy's troops are urged to advance aggressively.In particular, the commander of the First Corps on the southern front hastily changed the tactics of fighting steadily and steadily, not waiting for the second and third Corps to act in unison, that is, to focus on the reorganized 5th Division, and to cooperate with the reorganized 74th and 25rd Divisions on the left and right wings. The main target was Tanbu, and it invaded from the southeast of Mengyin to the north on the 83th. Under the command of Commander Su...the 11th Division of the Kuomintang Ace Army Reorganization was completely wiped out.

After the battle started, Gu Youan, who had just reconciled with Lin Yanjia, had to rush to the battlefield again. His troops were ordered to use the terrain to penetrate into the depths of the 74th Division and join forces with the rest of the column to defeat it before the arrival of enemy reinforcements.Because Gu You'an inspected the terrain many times and detailed the map, his department was able to save time and quickly put in place, occupying a favorable position in one fell swoop.

In late September, in addition to staying in the 9th Column and other departments of the East China Field Army’s Outer Line Corps to continue to pinch the enemy in southwestern Shandong, the main force was divided into five routes across the Longhai Road between Xuzhou and Kaifeng, and went south to the Henan and Anhui Soviet Areas. Marching into Henan, Anhui and Jiangsu, smashing Longhai Road and Pinghan Battle (jointly held with Chen Xie Corps) and other battles, wiped out more than 10 enemies, cooperated with Liu Deng and Chen Xie's army to restore and expand the Central Plains Liberated Area, smashed the enemy The defense system on the Central Plains battlefield.At the same time, it attracted about 5 brigades of the Kuomintang army, which relieved the pressure on other battlefields and completed the strategic task assigned by the Party Central Committee to lead the war to Jiang's area.

From January to March 1948, the East China Military Region and the East China Field Army successively carried out new-style army-building campaigns.Subsequently, according to the development of the war situation, the East China Field Army formed the 1st Corps with the 3st, 1th, and 4th columns, and Commander Su served as the commander. In early May 6, it was decided that Commander Hua Ye Chen would work in the Central Plains Bureau, and appointed him as the second secretary of the Central Plains Bureau and the first deputy commander of the Central Plains Military Region (still concurrently the commander and political commissar of the East China Field Army), and appointed Commander Su Acting commander and acting political commissar of the East China Field Army, on May 1, □□ once again emphasized that Commander Su had full authority to command the East China Field Army. From June to July, the 1948st, 5rd, 5th, 21th, 6th, and 7th Columns of the East China Field Army, the Liangguang Column (formerly the Dongjiang Column) and the 1th and 3th Columns of the Central Plains Field Army were united under the leadership of Comrade Su. Under the command of the leadership, he launched the Battle of Eastern Henan and wiped out more than 4 enemies.Until August, the Shandong Corps successively held battles on the west section of Jiaoji Road (Zhoucun, Zhangzhuang), the middle section of Jiaoji Road (Weixian), and the middle section of Jinpu Road (Yanzhou), killing more than 6 enemies. In the autumn of 8, Commander Su commanded the main force of the East China Field Army. With the cooperation of the 10th and 9th Columns of the Central Plains Field Army and some troops from the military region, he launched the Jinan Campaign, wiped out more than 11 defending enemies, and captured the commander of the second "appeasement area" of the Kuomintang Army. Wang Yaowu liberated Shandong Province except for a few cities such as Qingdao.

In these wars, Gu Youan shared joys and sorrows with the officers and soldiers, and worked together for the final victory. After the war, his room was full of discarded sketches and altered battle plans when drawing maps.
