The War of Liberation was an important stop for the establishment of political power in our country. Originally, we held peace talks with Chiang Kai-shek in an attitude of peace and sought peace to resolve China's internal problems. But in fact, the Kuomintang wanted the one-party dominance of the heart not to die, and after tearing up the "Double Tenth Agreement", it openly launched a civil war.
For the Chinese People's Liberation Army, everything the Communist Party did was for the poor people, while the Kuomintang side had too many corrupt officials and corrupt officials to bully and oppress the people. Therefore, in the War of Liberation, our army won many battles with high morale and excellent command. Among them, the most representative is the Battle of Northern Henan, before this campaign was launched, Tangyin's general Sun Dianying repeatedly said that our army could not capture Tangyin City. So, what method did our army use to make this battle finally victorious?
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="3" > point reinforcements, classic battles</h1>
For our army, the thing that our army is best at, in addition to long-distance interspersing, is to encircle points and provide reinforcements. As early as the early days of the War of Liberation, our army saw one of the most important weaknesses of the Kuomintang, that is, the tail could not be lost. This means that while the Kuomintang troops cannot cooperate with each other, they do not make a decision on whether to give up or rescue friendly forces, and the final result is that they are also under siege.
It was precisely because of this fatal weakness of the Kuomintang army that our army formulated a detailed battle plan in the Battle of Northern Henan. First of all, our army adopted superior troops and used the form of mobile combat to sweep away all the enemies on the Pinghan Railway. For the town of Tangyin, we take the strategy of encircling without fighting.
The most important reason why they chose to encircle and not fight was that General Liu Bocheng and Chairman Mao believed that seeing the enemy would reinforce Tangyin. Therefore, General Liu Bocheng decided to besiege Tangyin City without fighting, and at the same time, with Tangyin City as the center, adopted the strategy of encircling points to help, making Tangyin City an isolated city.
It turned out that The idea of General Liu Bocheng and Chairman Mao was very correct, and after our army surrounded Tangyin City, Sun Dianying asked Gu Zhutong for reinforcements. Gu Zhutong immediately ordered three and a half brigades and the second rapid column of the Kuomintang to reinforce Tangyin, but they were all blocked by our troops.
In the end, after several days of exchange of fire, the enemy suffered heavy casualties and was forced to retreat, and our army took advantage of the victory to pursue and severely damage the remaining enemy troops. At this time, Tangyin City became an isolated city completely, and our army finally captured it at a very small cost, and Sun Dianying also surrendered.
The battle sounds like our army won easily with tactical strategy. So is it really that easy in fact? Why did Sun Dianying dare to say the arrogant words that "the People's Liberation Army cannot capture Tangyin City"?
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="10" > Tangyin City is solid</h1>
In fact, Sun Dianying's wild words are not capitalless. It should be known that at this time, Sun Dianying was already the commander-in-chief of the provisional third column, and there were still many soldiers and horses in hand. Moreover, Sun Dianying occupied Tangyin City, and our army had no experience in attacking urban battles, and there was almost no siege equipment with heavy firepower, which was Sun Dianying's confidence.
Although our army did not have heavy firepower siege equipment and lacked experience in urban offensive battles, Sun Dianying was not careless, he stepped up the construction of fortifications behind his back, and the moat outside Tangyin City was deepened by 6 meters, while the light and heavy machine gun configuration and the sentry building configuration were all disrupted and rebuilt.
It can be said that Tangyin City is already a fortress that is difficult to break through from the outside. The most important thing is that Sun Dianying is well aware that the People's Liberation Army will fight tunnels, and he is afraid that the People's Liberation Army will dig tunnels from the outside and drill into the city. As the originator of tomb robbery, Sun Dianying buckled the water tank upside down around the city wall, and the bottom of the cylinder was all punched, and every day he listened to the sound of whether there was a hole in the cylinder.
For a time, Sun Dianying's preparations made our army really unable to start. After everything was ready, Sun Dianying began to go crazy, because in addition to not having heavy firepower, he had another ace hand.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="15" > ace becomes a waste card, and the confidence is too much</h1>
In addition to the strong fortress, Sun Dianying's last trump card was that there was Gu Zhutong behind him. He firmly believed that Gu Zhutong would not see death and not be saved, as long as he could drag the PEOPLE's Liberation Army to death, he would be able to win the final victory.
But in fact, this self-confidence of his is exactly in the arms of our army. Sun Dianying never expected that his last trump card would actually become the last straw that crushed the camel. The People's Liberation Army was worried that it did not have heavy weapons to attack Tangyin City, and the second rapid column sent by Gu Zhutong carried heavy weapons to the hands of the People's Liberation Army. In the process of reinforcement at the encirclement point, our army captured a total of 158 artillery pieces of various types and 3 tanks.
With these heavy weapons, Tang Yin City was torn open in 20 minutes. Sun Dianying's proud fortifications were destroyed by our army during a period of time, and his psychological defenses were problematic, and he immediately launched a surrender. The Battle of Northern Henan ended with the victory of our army.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="19" > conclusion</h1>
Our army has always been learning from each other's strong points, and in terms of tactics and strategy, the senior commanders of our army have never been confused. On the other hand, the Kuomintang troops were not only too big to lose their tails but also very confident. Excessive self-confidence is a great mistake on the battlefield, and this may be one of the important reasons for the repeated victories of our army on the frontal battlefield.
