The hit of "Armageddon" has made the main theme TV series that has been said to be downhill by the outside world a good powder. The joining of various old drama bones, in addition to giving the audience the visual effect of the explosion on the war scene, the literary drama in it is also endlessly evocative, and the fighting method between our army and the top level of the national army in the TV series also makes people addicted. Just as in the TV series, in addition to the failure of the national army, in addition to its own lack of combat ability, the mutual suspicion between colleagues to dig a pit, military orders are not the same, is the root of their failure.
Taking the Liaoshen Campaign in the Great Armageddon as an example, the struggle between the various factions of the Northeast Suppression Command has long laid the groundwork for their defeat. Especially in the Liao Yaoxiang Corps (mobile 9th Corps) in the Liaoxi Campaign, it can be said that the Nationalist army itself played itself out.
At that time, in addition to the 52nd Army, which had already run to Yingkou in advance, there were also 5 corps (including the new 1st and 6th Armies, as well as the 71st Army), which was supposed to be very strong on paper, coupled with air superiority, and the Nationalist army should have a basis for advance and retreat.
So for what reasons was the Liao Yaoxiang Corps destroyed?
Our army resisted layer by layer
Here Yu TianJun wanted to blow liang Xingchu, who was then the commander of the 10th Column (later the commander of the Long Live Army to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea), and when Liao Yaoxiang's corps attacked from Shenyang, it was Liang Xingchu who accepted the task of blocking Liao Yaoxiang's corps. Led the newly formed 10 columns to wait for Liao Yaoxiang, and although the 10 columns were young, the commander Liang Xingchu was a tiger general in Dongye.
Born in the old Red Army, he has both the recklessness of Li Yunlong and the cunning of Ding Wei in "Bright Sword".
At the pre-war mobilization meeting, Liang Xingchu said emphatically: "As long as the main force does not arrive, the task of the Tenth Column will not be completed." I will be the commander of the regiment when I fight one regiment, I will be the battalion commander when I fight one battalion, I will be the company commander when I fight one company, even if there is one person left in the ten columns, I will fight down." It is a short answer mobilization, so that the 10 vertical up and down is like a chicken blood. Faced with a 4:1 ratio of troops, the mechanized Liao Yaoxiang Corps, under the repeated impact of aircraft in the sky, tanks on the ground and American heavy artillery, the 10th Column still stubbornly controlled the position in its own hands.
On the most fiercely fought on the 101 high ground, the two sides fought back and forth for positions, changed hands more than a dozen times, and the Nationalist army even disregarded the troops that had rushed up to fight with our army's white blades, covered indiscriminately with artillery, and under the heavy artillery blows of the enemy, the position was full of bullet craters, and even the soil on the position seemed to be burning. And our army, under the oath of coexistence and death with the position, took advantage of the night to retake the positions occupied during the day. In this way, the Montenegrin sniper battle lasted for 5 days, and when the 6 main columns in the direction of Jinzhou passed through the support, the positions were full of the corpses of our army and the nationalist army, and the fierce battle situation should be the most tragic in Liaoshen.
In this way, Liao Yaoxiang's corps also lost the intention of breaking through and advancing westward under the obstruction of our army, and at the same time, when 300,000 people of my 6 main columns arrived in western Liaoning, Liao Yaoxiang was already a turtle in an urn and was wiped out on the spot. Especially in the narrow Corridor of Western Liaoning, the mechanized corps was even more unable to exert its power, allowing our army to be divided and destroyed.
The command of the Nationalist fans
In the use of the 9 corps, the nationalist army has made an old mistake, that is, the inconsistency of the decrees of the front-line commander and the chairman of the committee. When Liao Yaoxiang's corps attacked, he was restrained by two people.
First of all, the chairman of the committee liked to cross the ranks of the front-line generals Wei Cao, his order to Liao Yaoxiang was to move west, after occupying Zhangwu, from the rear and North China Fu Zuoyi's North China Corps, Huludao and Tashan direction to the east, with the Jinzhou Fan Hanjie Corps as bait, with the tactic of central flowering, to eliminate the main force of our Eastern Field. This idea seems to be very good, but it is unrealistic (common problem of the chairman of the committee). But in fact, before liao yaoxiang set out, Fu Zuoyi's unsaved forces in north China did not send many soldiers at all, and the Eastern Advance Corps at Tashan let our army bite to death and failed to advance half a step. The other roads were thunderous and rainy, and Liao Yaoxiang's road became the unlucky egg of our army's grass and rabbits.
Therefore, I have to say that the chairman of the committee has made this move very bad.
The second is Wei Lihuang of Shenyang, who knows that it is also a white gift to let Liao Yaoxiang go to Jinzhou, it is better to stay in Shenyang to shrink the defense, with the successful experience of Changchun, it is not a problem to defend Shenyang. However, Wei Lihuang's practice was only to delay the slow death of the Nationalist army, leaving two isolated strongholds of Shenyang and Changchun, and our army encircled and did not fight, how many years could it defend? In order to avoid Liao Yaoxiang being eaten, Wei Lihuang also detained some of his heavy weapons and troops, which also invisibly weakened the combat effectiveness of Liao Yaoxiang's corps.
In fact, clear-eyed people can see that the northeast is finished, rather than shrinking cats in Shenyang slowly dying, or going west into Jinzhou to make dumplings, it is better to go south to Yingkou and escape by sea. At that time, Liao Yaoxiang's old commander-in-chief Du Yuming of the Northeast Suppression Force thought so, and although he was trusted by the chairman of the committee, he still could not change Shangfeng's orders.
Therefore, Liao Yaoxiang, who accepted multiple commands, could only turn around in place, and it was not where to go.
In addition to the problem of command at the top, Liao Yaoxiang also made 2 fatal mistakes in actual combat?
The first is that Liao Yaoxiang lacks the courage to be a commander. Knowing that the chairman of the committee ordered him to accompany Fan Hanjie to the funeral, he still did not dare to disobey, so there was the Battle of Dahu Mountain, and our army bit it. After being fooled by the chairman's empty promises and the so-called Huangpu spirit, Liao Yaoxiang wasted at least 5 days wandering in Zhangwu and attacking the Black Tiger Mountain, which was useless in turning the situation in the northeast war. The road that eventually led to its south, Yingkou, was also occupied by our army.
If one reason is personality, then the second is coincidence. Although Liao Yaoxiang himself was surrounded, his mind was still very clear, on the one hand, he let the new 1st and 6th armies continue to attack in the direction of Montenegro, confusing our army, mistakenly thinking that he would still advance westward, on the other hand, he mobilized other main forces to prepare for the breakthrough of Yingkou. But at this time, he made a mistake, that is, to use clear code to send a report, to issue a name, the signal he sent out in the busy mistake was intercepted by our army, and Lin Zong, who was worried about not being able to find Liao Yaoxiang's command, directly said: "Don't rest, don't sleep, don't eat, where there are Liao Yaoxiang's troops, they will fight!" Shoot wherever you go! Until the Liao Yaoxiang Corps was completely annihilated! In this way, Liao Yaoxiang was unable to break through, but because of this low-level mistake, our army recognized the operational intentions and the whole army was destroyed.
Yu Tian Jun said
In the Liaoshen Campaign, liao yaoxiang was encircled and annihilated in the western advance of the regiment, so smoothly that neither the Kuomintang nor the communists expected, and even within our army, Liao Yaoxiang fled to Yingkou, but a series of "honey operations" within the nationalist army caused Liao Yaoxiang's corps to lose time to retreat, and in the end, Liao Yaoxiang, who was panicked and did not choose a way, actually issued a report, resulting in the final total annihilation of our army in western Liaoning.
The defeat of the nationalist army in the war of liberation is not that the front-line combat officers are greedy and afraid of death, but that their high-level civil strife is not all, corruption is unbearable, regardless of the people's life or death, the state government building will fall, and their defeat is also an inevitable.
— The end—
