The Liaoshen Campaign was about to begin when General Lin Biao, who commanded the Chinese People's Liberation Army, commanded a battle in a mansion in Yaniutun, south of Jinzhou. According to the deployment of the Central Military Commission, Lin Biao sent one battle order after another to the front. Fan Hanjie, the supreme commander of the Kuomintang Jinzhou who destroyed the city of Jinzhou, was captured, and it was in this mansion that he said to General Lin Biao, "It is impossible for a person who is not a man of great talent to fight Jinzhou. Jinzhou is like a flat burden, one head carrying the northeast and the other carrying north China, and now it is broken in the middle. "It was Lin Biao who attacked Jinzhou, and it was Chairman Mao who made up his mind. When the battle reports of the Tashan front line continued to reach the headquarters, Lin Biao's mind was full of four flats and four flats. This is to talk about the attack on Siping, Higashino once hit three and four draws, but once it was a feint attack, commonly known as three hits and four draws before the final hit, the fight was very hard. Lin Biao had always been worried that hitting Jinzhou would be like playing Siping. However, if Jinzhou could not be defeated, the consequences would be much more serious than siping, and the People's Liberation Army would most likely be counter-encircled by the Kuomintang army and eventually annihilated.
At that time, Lin Biao was very hesitant to fight Changchun or Jinzhou, and the morale of the Kuomintang army that had been besieged for a long time in Changchun was low to make up for the lack of assembly and combat that was conducive to our army. However, if Changchun is attacked, the Kuomintang Jinzhou clique will withdraw to Guannei and affect the process of national liberation. In the end, chairman Mao made up his mind to attack Jinzhou and wipe out the elite Kuomintang troops outside Guanwai. However, it has to be said here that the internal decision-making of the Kuomintang has helped our army's operations. At that time, the General Headquarters of the Kuomintang Army's Northeast Suppression was in Shenyang, and the commander of Shenyang was the Wei Lihuang Group, which had 200,000 troops, of which the most elite New 1st Army and New 6th Army were all-American armaments and equipment. As I said before, 6 regiments of My Higashino besieged and did not finally destroy 1 regiment of the enemy, which shows how strong their combat effectiveness is. Chiang Kai-shek had always asked Wei Lihuang to retreat to Jinzhou to guard the pass, and if he retreated, he could also withdraw directly into northern China. But Wei Lihuang has always disagreed, in fact, the army is already very corrupt and cannot be withdrawn. 200,000 troops have more than 100,000 dependents of the army, in the 3 years of our Development in Higashino, the Kuomintang troops were accelerating corruption and finally led to this result, unable to abandon their families and property Troops could not retreat. How could such a force win a battle? In addition, there is a legion defender in Changchun, if Shenyang retreats, the Changchun defenders will definitely surrender, so the rat trap cannot retreat.
Talking about Wei Lihuang, this man was a famous anti-Japanese general who contributed to the country and the nation in the War of Resistance Against Japan. Wei Lihuang, who was called "General of the Tigers" by The Supreme Commander of North Japan, "Kiyoshi Kazuki," and was called "General of The Constant Victory" by Time Magazine of the United States, always had the illusion of dragging until the United States launched World War III. (At that time, the international environment was confrontation between the United States and the Soviet Union, and it was very likely that there would be another war.) But how could he have imagined that the United States and the Soviet Union did not want to start a war again just after the end of the second world. Therefore, his procrastination was one of the root causes of the final defeat of the Kuomintang army.
Speaking of Tashan, if you want to concentrate on fighting Jinzhou, you must hold the important position of Tashan, which can prevent the support of the Kuomintang troops when attacking Jinzhou, and also prevent the enemy of Jinzhou from wanting to retreat by warship at sea. Therefore, holding Tashan is a heavy burden that must be held to take Jinzhou and annihilate the enemy. However, the terrain of Tashan is not dangerous to defend. The Nationalists had superior troops and firepower, as well as the support of naval and air forces, to hold Tashan was an almost impossible task. Chiang Kai-shek prepared 11 divisions of troops, of which the most famous unit that fought hard battles was known as the "Zhao Zilong Division", which was the most capable of fighting hard battles, and the Japanese troops who fought at that time also admired it. Air force support and the Navy's most powerful warship, the Chongqing, were also dispatched. The Italians called the battleship the "Silver Gray Monster", and one of its gun points could knock out more than 30 people in a platoon of Tower Hill, so you can imagine how powerful the firepower is. (At the time, fighters recalled how deep the crater was when the crater of the Chongqing naval gun could see water coming out of the ground.) Facing the steel troops armed to the teeth of the Kuomintang, it can only be the flesh and blood of more than 40,000 young commanders and fighters in my Higashino Fourth Column. But it is under such circumstances that the determination to win that the commanders and fighters of our army have never wavered, and this is the power of faith. When the most passionate youth is intertwined with the fiercest war, it is destined to be an indelible memory. At that time, in order to express their determination to coexist and die with Tashan, the soldiers all wrote blood letters, and all the commanders and fighters, including Wu Kehua, the commander of the fourth column, wrote a suicide note, and were ready for all their sacrifices. At that time, the fourth column was indeed the most capable unit in Dongye, and the style was tough and good at fighting hard battles, but it was not good at defending, and Lin Biao still entrusted the most difficult task to the fourth column. Although Wu Kehua, the 35-year-old commander of the Fourth Column, had already experienced hundreds of battles, such a cruel test was the first time.
The battle had just begun with an accident, and the Kuomintang army took advantage of the tidal time difference to use warships to land and occupy the forward positions of our army to fight fishing hills. This was a prominent part of the Tower Hill position, and after the four columns lost their positions, they wanted to immediately counterattack and retake the positions, but the position could not be retaken temporarily due to the high tide flooding the road. The enemy did not give our army any respite and continued to launch a fierce attack on our army, and the reports of the battle situation of each position were transmitted to Wu Kehua in a hurry. Enemy planes dropped bombs at low altitudes, shells were as dense as swarms of locusts, more than 5,000 rounds were dropped in tens of minutes, all the fortifications were destroyed, rail sleepers flew all over the sky, and the ploughs on the flat ground were loosened a few feet of soil. The commander of the enemy group-type charge company led the supervision of the team after pressing, regardless of the terrain conditions, regardless of the death of the upward rush, the front fell and the back stepped on the corpse, the first echelon collapsed on the second echelon, and the second echelon crossed the third echelon and the fourth echelon followed. This fierce battle in the northeast is arguably one of the most brutal and fierce battles. But after fighting for a long time, the enemy suffered heavy casualties, and there was no sign of easing when it was a charge or a steady stream. Wu Kehua could not resist personally going to the front to observe the enemy situation. During the observation, he found that the enemy had been organizing echelons in the rear joint to continuously replenish the front line losses, and he immediately ordered the artillery to bomb the joint and interrupt the enemy's reinforcements. The fierce attack and the tenacious counterattack continued to go back and forth, and the entire four columns had put life and death aside. Only the battlefield is dead for the country, why should Ma Ge wrap the body back. On this day, the Kuomintang Eastern Advance Corps launched a total of 9 charge, all of which were repulsed. At 4:00 p.m., the tide receded, and our army took advantage of the situation to retake the position of Yushan Mountain. At this time, the 95th Division, the only 95th division of the Kuomintang ace unit that attacked Tashan, known as the "Zhao Zilong Division," had just arrived at Huludao by sea. It is said that in the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression in North China, there was no position that could not be defeated, and not a single machine gun was lost.
On October 12, the gunfire on the battlefield suddenly stopped, and the Tashan position, which had been fiercely fighting for 2 days, was unusually stopped on the third day. At this time, the Jinzhou general offensive had not yet begun and the peripheral battle was in full swing, and Chiang Kai-shek's decisive team would not give up reinforcements to Jinzhou. This sudden silence made Wu Kehua foresee that a bigger storm was coming. But this day of armistice also gave the commanders and fighters of our army the opportunity to repair the fortifications. At the same time, a reconnaissance squad was arranged to grasp the tongue to find out the enemy situation.
I don't want casualty numbers, I just want Tower Hill.
