However, although China won the war, it paid a terrible price: 4,000 flesh and blood bravely blocked Montenegro. How can flesh and blood stop the shells? This is undoubtedly throwing eggs at the stone. So, what prompted these 4,000 soldiers to bravely block Montenegro with 4,000 flesh and blood? Let's look at the situation at that time.
1945 After Japan's defeat and surrender, Northeast China became the focus of national struggle.
Why do both parties focus on the Northeast?
Northeast China is the only region in the country where the PLA's military strength exceeds that of the Kuomintang. This is the most developed area of heavy industry, the largest grain-producing area in China and the earliest occupied area by Japanese invaders. Therefore, the Central Military Commission of China chose Northeast China as the first battlefield for the decisive battle.
1On June 26th, 946, Kuomintang troops launched an attack on the Central Plains Liberated Area, and a large-scale civil war broke out in China. At the beginning of July, 1948, the strength comparison between China and * * has changed from 3. 14: 1 to1.3:1when the war broke out; 1In August, 948, the Northeast Field Army of the Chinese People's Liberation Army had controlled 97% of the land and 86% of the population in the Northeast.
There are 4 regiments, 14 regiments, 44 divisions and about 550,000 local security guards, but they are divided and compressed in three unconnected places: Shenyang, Changchun and Jinzhou. As part of the Beining Railway was controlled by the People's Liberation Army, the land traffic from Changchun and Shenyang to Shanhaiguan was cut off, and it was completely replenished by air, and materials were scarce. Moreover, in order to better compete for the Northeast, both sides made arrangements for this campaign.
Strategic deployment of both sides
Proceeding from the overall situation of the national war, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China thought that the time was ripe for a strategic decisive battle with the Kuomintang army, decided to put the strategic decisive battle in the first place in the northeast battlefield, formulated the operational policy that the main force of the Northeast Field Army went south to conquer Jinzhou on the Beining Line, and adopted the tactics of "closing the door and beating dogs" to keep the Kuomintang army in the northeast and annihilate each other. 1948, Chairman the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and Chairman Mao Zedong decided to wipe out the reactionary troops of the Northeast Kuomintang first. 1948 In September, the Central Military Commission of China ordered the Northeast Field Army to launch the Liaoshen Campaign. Lin Biao, Luo Ronghuan and Liu Yalou formed the General Front Committee, with Lin Biao as the secretary to command the Liaoshen Campaign in a unified way.
Lin Biao, according to Mao Zedong's instructions, decided to leave some troops to continue to besiege Changchun, and the main force went south, and the front was directed at Jinzhou. The deployment is as follows:
With 6 columns, 3 independent divisions, 1 cavalry divisions and artillery columns as the main force, they made long-distance raids at night and surrounded various points on Jinzhou and Beining lines.
Four columns and a cavalry division, located in the northwest of Xinmin county and north of Jinzhou, monitor the enemy in Shenyang; Prepare to use a column to prevent the enemy of Changchun from breaking through in Kaiyuan area; Continue to besiege Changchun with a column, six independent divisions and an artillery unit. When a few other troops pretended to attack Changchun, they openly put forward the slogan of "training soldiers to fight Changchun" to confuse the enemy.
Chiang Kai-shek's plan was to withdraw the main force of Shenyang National Army to Jinzhou to cooperate with Fu's operations in North China. If you advance, you can recapture the northeast, and if you retreat, you can withdraw to Shanhaiguan. Take the policy of concentrating forces and focusing on defense, and open up the Beining Line one after another. Wei, go up
Liao Yaoxiang's northeast generals mostly supported Wei's plan and opposed Jiang's plan. At the beginning of May, Chiang Kai-shek made Wei open the way again and evacuated the main force to Jinzhou. The Eighth Corps of Wei Zhou Fucheng and the Ninth Corps of Liao Yaoxiang, with 300,000 people in 24 divisions of 8 armies, are taking Shenyang, Benxi, Fushun, Tieling and Xinmin as defense centers, ready to reinforce Changchun and Jinzhou; Lieutenant General Zheng Dongguo, deputy commander-in-chief of the Northeast "Suppression General" and commander of the Corps 1 Corps and 65,438+10,000 troops from six divisions of the two armies entered the ancient city of Changchun to contain the main force of Dongye; Fan Junquan, deputy commander-in-chief of Northeast China "Suppression General" and director of Jinzhou command post, led Lu Junquan's 6th Corps, 4th Army14th Division,15,000 men, stationed in Yiqin Line, focusing on defending Jinzhou area and ensuring contact with Shanhaiguan.
The war is imminent, and the Liaoshen campaign started in September 1948.
In the bitter days, the war fought in the Zhou Sinong Performance Art Zone in Montenegro and Dahushan, and Montenegro and Dahushan were like a gateway, with Yiwulu Mountain in the west and a large swamp in the east. The mountains in the middle are undulating, and the railway and highway in Beining meander among them, which is the only passage from Shenyang to Jinzhou. Montenegro and Dahushan confront each other on both sides of the corridor, like two gates, opening north and south, and blocking people and cars when closed. The tenth commander's order to stop Liao Yaoxiang Corps here is obvious: stall this huge Kuomintang army and seal it here to prevent them from retreating to Shenyang, or after the main force arrives and completes the offensive deployment, he will go to Yingkou through here and eat the Liao Yaoxiang Corps.
