As soon as Commander Hu's uprising was spoken, the officers below immediately discussed, needless to say, the situation in the past few days can be seen, but today I heard that Commander Hu was going to lead the 96th Army to revolt, everyone still felt that it was too hasty and sudden, and some reactions could not adapt to it, most of their families were still in Jinan City, in case an uprising was announced here, those spies in the city would take their own family members to open the knife, it would be miserable Immediately most of the officers expressed their response to Commander Hu's call for an uprising, but there were also a few officers who did not express their position, and Commander Hu thought that these silent officers acquiesced in his uprising, so he did not care.
Huang Shuisheng told the officers of the 96th Army how to reorganize and withdraw from the Jinan battlefield after the uprising, and he would not talk about anything else; at the end of Huang Shuisheng's speech, Commander Hu immediately ordered all the officers and men of the 96th Army to withdraw from the Jinan airport under the guidance of the PLA soldiers The uprising seems to be going well, and there is good news in the city, the families of Commander Hu and the principal officers of the 96th Army have been protected by the PLA soldiers who had infiltrated the city in advance by Zhou Wu and the comrades of the underground party in Jinan, and at this moment, even if the military police of the Kuomintang Appeasement Command and the spies of the Jinan Station of the Military Command learned of the news of the uprising of the 96th Army, it was useless, and with the combat strength of the PLA troops sent by Zhou Wu to infiltrate the city, they could completely resist the attack of the spies.
Just as most of the troops of the 96th Army were moving towards the PLA position in an orderly manner, Commander Hu suddenly received a report from the officers below that two regiments had lost contact with each other, and someone saw that they had returned to the city of Jinan When Commander Hu heard this, he knew that the leaders of the two regiments did not want to follow him to revolt, so he secretly took the team to Jinan City to defect to Commander Wang, he originally wanted to send a team to intercept it, but after thinking about it, it was also a subordinate and subordinate colleagues, and this uprising could not be forced, so let them go Commander Hu hurriedly told Huang Shuisheng about this situation, Huang Shuisheng also meant this, and he said to those officers who still had doubts about the uprising in front of the 96th Army: "Brothers, don't look at them running into Jinan City now, in a few days, the leaders of those two regiments will definitely encounter different treatment than you are now, you have to leave or stay, now you still have a chance to choose, but once you decide to follow Commander Hu with us, I advise you not to start the two ends of the rat, engage in two-sided tricks, To do so is to shoot yourself in the foot."
As soon as Huang Shuisheng said this, the officers of the 96th Army nodded their heads one after another, and they all expressed their willingness to follow Commander Hu to revolt, so the commotion caused by the withdrawal of the two regiments from the uprising was easily resolved by Huang Shuisheng's words, not how good Huang Shuisheng's eloquence was, but now around Jinan, there are surrounded by the People's Liberation Army team everywhere, and the two regiment commanders who withdrew from the uprising halfway don't know which tendon is wrong. would do such an incredible thing at the last moment, but the path was chosen by himself, and he couldn't blame others, and he blamed himself.
Zhou Wu learned that the 96th Army had successfully revolted, and immediately ordered Ge Sanmin next to him to quickly enter the airport to take over the facilities, and the main force of Ge Sanmin's team was in the Jiyang area ten miles behind the airport, and after receiving the order, it took less than three hours to occupy all the Jinan Airport, and captured the Kuomintang Army's transportation bureau and more than 10 planes of various types, and all the fortifications of the 96th Army at the airport fell into the hands of Ge Sanmin, and the air escape road of the Kuomintang troops in Jinan City was completely cut off When the news of the uprising of the 96th Army at the Jinan airport reached the appeasement headquarters, Chief Wang almost fainted to the ground, so he grabbed the telephone in a fit of rage and ordered the gendarmerie and the military commander Jinan Station to dispatch quickly to find out the families of the officers of the 96th Army in Jinan, detain them, and transport them to Nanjing to be dealt with by military law But soon he received a call from the commander of the military command, informing him that a large number of armed men had appeared near the residences of the families and were protecting the families of the officers of the 96th Army When Lao Yu heard the news, he hurriedly drove to the scene and said to Chief Wang: "Chief Wang, you must not do this, the 96th Army should be severely punished for surrendering to the enemy, but you can't sprinkle all your anger on the families of the officers of the 96th Army, this will be punished by God, Jinan City is in danger, I think it is better to send these combat troops to useful city fortifications, don't do this kind of boring thing again."
Commander Wang was also confused by the uprising of the 96th Army just now, and when he heard this reminder from Lao Yu, the commander of the 11th Division, he immediately came to his senses, and said to Lao Yu again and again: "I'm confused, I'm confused, Jinan is already a lonely city, and the 96th Army has all defected to the Communist Party, if I kill all their families, it will only arouse their hatred for me, isn't this just to provide Zhou Wu with a siege vanguard force that can be used immediately without agitating propaganda, Lao Yu, I was wrong."
Commander Wang immediately called and ordered the military commander and the gendarmerie to immediately stop their actions and return to their stations, and the other gendarmerie regiment did not need to return to the station, but was directly pulled to the head of Jinan City, and it seemed that a general attack on Jinan City was about to be launched, and all troops had to prepare for street fighting.
At this moment, Zhou Wu has moved the forward command to the airport, the airport has all kinds of communication facilities, and the fortifications are quite strong, the field of vision is broad, the most advantageous thing is that there are more than a dozen transport planes and other aircraft, the Kuomintang Air Force pilots in those airports did not have time to escape, and before they understood what was going on, they were all captured by Ge Sanmin, most of the Kuomintang pilots expressed their willingness to do their best for the PLA to capture Jinan, Zhou Wu learned of this situation, and said to them: "Air Force brothers, you are also heroes, I think that in the time of the Anti-Japanese War in Songhu, Shanghai, you relied on a small number of backward fighters to fight against the Japanese devil's plane over Hangzhou Bay, and beat down a lot of devil planes, you also had a glorious and proud war history, during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, we were able to unite to fight devils, why can't we cooperate again when we are about to establish a new China, ten years ago you fought devils in the long air for this disaster-stricken country, Now who are you driving bombers to bomb the PLA positions, you are for Lao Chiang and his relatives, the four families, if you still have a little conscience in your heart, then immediately take action to help our PLA liberate Jinan, defeat the Kuomintang reactionaries, and establish a new China."
Zhou Wu's eloquence is getting better and better, these words are reasonable, sonorous and powerful, and the political commissar Niu next to him also nods frequently, and those Kuomintang air force pilots even said again and again: "As long as the commander believes in us, we are willing to take part in the operation to liberate Jinan City" When Lao Niu heard this, he hurriedly hinted to Zhou Wu: These Kuomintang air force pilots have just been captured, and they can't be allowed to fly planes to participate in military operations Zhou Wu didn't think so, he said to Lao Niu: "Lao Niu, I believe that these pilots will not do such a thing, if we can't even trust them with these things, then we can achieve the current victory."
Zhou Wu immediately said to those Kuomintang pilots: "Okay, I believe you, you go and prepare, our general offensive is about to begin."
When the captured Kuomintang air force pilots saw that Zhou Wu, the chief, trusted them so much, they applauded, and the ground crew at the airport immediately cooperated with them to install ammunition and leaflets, these leaflets were printed by Zhou Wu a long time ago, and the purpose was to let the planes leave the city of Jinan and break the will of the officers and soldiers in the city to resist, and the bombs were to deal with those diehards of the Kuomintang army who refused to surrender and resisted stubbornly.
Minimize the casualties caused by the siege of the soldiers on both sides, the most important thing is the safety of the lives and property of the millions of people in the city of Jinan, once there is a brutal and fierce street battle, the casualties of the people are inevitable, bullets and shells do not have long eyes, they will not hide from the people to turn, although Zhou Wu repeatedly warned his fat man and Ge Sanmin before launching a general attack that they must ensure the safety of the people in the city, and would rather sacrifice their own soldiers than accidentally injure the people, in this way, The combat effectiveness of the siege and street fighting troops has been greatly constrained, the casualties of the team will definitely increase, and the progress of the siege will also be affected, but the common people are the largest, no matter what kind of situation occurs, Zhou Wu has already made up his mind to pay attention to try not to cause casualties to the innocent people in the city, so these leaflets that are to be thrown down from the plane are written with various danger warning tips, telling the people in the city that the People's Liberation Army has begun to attack the city and pay attention to their own safety On the eve of the general offensive, Commander Chen and Commander Li of the East China Field Army both arrived, and they came to Zhou Wu's preface command post at the airport, and they had no objection to Zhou Wu's arrangement, but they expressed different opinions on Zhou Wu's use of these Kuomintang air force pilots who had just been captured and defected, believing that Zhou Wu's consideration was not appropriate, and the bomber bombing mission must be canceled, and the leaflet droppers continued. t1706231537:
