The Battle of Huaihai started on November 1948, 11. The original main goal was to contain the two corps of Qiu Qingquan and Li Mi, annihilate the corps of Huang Baitao, which was far away from Xuzhou and located in a prominent position, and prepare for the capture of Xuzhou.When the battle started, all the troops marched towards the predetermined target, and found that the national army was shrinking, and immediately turned to pursue.Huang Baitao's 6th Corps was ordered to wait for the 7th Army in the 9th Appeasement Zone of Haizhou to withdraw westward, so the westward march was postponed until the 44th.Taking advantage of this delay, the East China Field Army caught up with the 7th Corps, which was crossing the Grand Canal. The 7rd Army of the 7th Corps and the 63rd Division of the 100th Army, which were in charge of the rear, were quickly wiped out.Seeing that the situation was not good, Huang Baitao hoped that Li Mi's 83th Corps would assist in the retreat.Li Mi took out Liu Zhi's order, insisted on retreating as planned, and refused to assist. On November 13, more than three-quarters of the officers and soldiers of the 11rd appeasement area defending the canal, under the leadership of He Jifeng and Zhang Kexia, the underground party members of the Communist Party of China and the deputy commanders of the appeasement area, held the Jiawang Uprising.After that, Dongye quickly passed through the third appeasement zone. On the 8th, the leading troops and the main force of the Shandong Corps annihilated the leading division of the 3th Corps retreating westward, cutting off the retreat of the 10th Corps.After the 7th Corps crossed the Grand Canal and walked to Nianzhuang, Liu Zhenxiang, the commander of the 7th Army, suggested that they rely on the military fortifications left by the 7th Corps in Nianzhuang to fight the PLA.At the same time, the Ministry of National Defense sent a call, saying that it was possible to fight, and if it could repel the enemy, it could go again. In this way, the 64th Corps hesitated for a day in Nianzhuang, and finally decided to face the People's Liberation Army.As a result, the People's Liberation Army marched faster than expected. Within one day, the three columns of the East China Field Army captured Caobaji and other strongholds between Nianzhuang and Xuzhou. On the 13th, the East China Field Army encircled the 7th Corps in the Nianzhuang area .

"Hurry up, those who are behind, hurry up and catch up!" Gu Youan looked back at the direction of departure, took a deep look, took a deep breath, turned his head and strode forward to lead the troops to march forward, chasing in the direction where the Seventh Corps escaped, in order to In a hurry, I distributed something to everyone before the team set off. When I was hungry on the way, I took out something to eat, and I kept lighting a fire to cook!Those who can't keep up with the team don't care, and soon they will break through the enemy's defense line, intercept their vanguard, and cut off their retreat.

"Hey, yes!" The commander of the Seventh Corps received an order from the Ministry of National Defense and decided to fight Dongye here, but he never expected that when he led the army to prepare to meet the enemy, Dongye had three columns surrounding them from three sides. After firing, attack from all sides, trying to wipe out the Seventh Army.Because there was no way to escape, these enemy troops broke out a little combat power at the last moment, and our pressure increased. "Zhuzi, no matter what method you use, stand against me. As long as there are still people in your regiment, this position cannot be lost, and an enemy must not be let go!" After receiving Zhuzi's report, Gu Youan called back and made a request , You must not make trouble at the last moment. Thinking about it, I feel a little uneasy. Gu Youan explained the matter and went to the front line to check. "Be honest, what are you looking at!" A group of soldiers in front of a prisoner was threatening, "What's going on?" "Report to the chief, this prisoner said before that he would stay as a soldier, but now he is unwilling to leave!" "Come here Why did you change your mind?" "I thought there were cannons here, but they turned out to be all guns. It's rare to see a few crooked cannons!" "Oh? You used to be a cannon?" "Yes, I am the battalion deputy of the artillery battalion!" "Very good, you come with me, I'll give you a cannon! Do you want to do it?" "Is there really a cannon?" This kid first pulled up an artillery company and then slowly expanded it.He galloped all the way and came to the front position, "Pillar, what's the situation?" "We have repelled the 30th attack and captured a cannon, but no one knows how to use it, only guns and grenades!" "This can't work!" , The casualties are too high, young man, go up and try, let me see if you have real skills!" "Go and go!" With the help of the cannons, the pressure on the soldiers was much reduced, and many good cannons were seized after the battle.Gu You'an asked him to pick some soldiers on the spot with cannons and then went back to form an artillery company.

On January 1949, 1, the Huaihai Campaign ended. A total of 10 Kuomintang troops were wiped out, and the vast area north of the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River was liberated. The main force of the Kuomintang army in East China and the Central Plains was completely lost. Under the direct threat of the PLA. Five days later, according to the requirements of the central government, the East China Field Army was renamed the Third Field Army, and its organization was changed.
