The Battle of Menglianggu was the second great victory of our army in crushing the enemy's key attack on Shandong liberated area. Our army changed from mobile warfare to tough battle. After paying12,000 people's sacrifice, more than 33,000 people in 74 divisions, one of the five main forces of the Kuomintang, were eliminated. The price paid by our army in this battle is greater than every battle in the past year, but it is also of great significance. At that time, Comrade Chen Yi once wrote a poem: "Ghosts and gods are wailing in Meng Lianggu, and there is nowhere for the 74th Division to escape. The signals are scattered, the stars are confused, and lights are everywhere. The knife rushed to the top of the mountain, and blood and rain floated in, wetting the shirt. I am very happy to see that thieves are elites and our army is heroes. " Chiang Kai-shek lamented: "Meng Lianggu's failure is the saddest and most regrettable thing since our army wiped out bandits."
