War is an art, and the most important thing is to learn war in war. Historically, the Northeast Field Army lost twice in Siping, but in the third Siping battle, our army took Siping in just 23 hours and completely annihilated it.

The Siping defenders. The reason for this is that our army is good at summing up experience and lessons, improving one step after each battle, and becoming stronger the more we fight. The failure of the Siping defense battle prompted changes in our army's strategic thinking in managing the Northeast. The Northeast Field Army only used

The number grew to 400,000 in one year, and a counterattack began. The failure of the first Siping offensive exposed our army's scattered use of artillery fire, poor coordination of infantry and artillery, and errors in command and judgment. As the commander of the Northeast Field Army and secretary of the Northeast Bureau,

The Communist Party of China took over the responsibility, asked the troops to comprehensively summarize their experience and lessons, and wrote a letter to Li Tianyou, the commander of the first column who served as frontline command, asking him to re-understand the principle of seeking truth from facts, the principle that everything is determined by conditions, and the principle of revolutionary consequentialism.

Principle, practice is the standard principle of correctness, and we should carefully sum up the lessons. As a result, Li Tianyou, who is good at learning, lived up to expectations and defeated the Kuomintang defenders in the second Siping attack. From then on, our Northeast Field Army was invincible and fought in every battle.

All wins!

The column led by Gao Yuan is unparalleled in our army in terms of training and equipment. It is a standard ace force. It followed Liu Yimin in all the battles in the north and south, and made great achievements in battle.

Now the Third Brigade of the First Column is still sweeping away the Japanese and puppet troops in the Andong area. The supplementary regiment, guard battalion, engineering regiment, and baggage regiment of the First Column have all been sent to form the Shenyang Garrison Area with Political Commissar Cheng Cuilin to defend Shenyang. The plateau can be used.

The siege forces were only the first brigade, the second brigade, the armored brigade, the heavy machine gun brigade, the heavy machine gun regiment and supporting firepower. Among them, the second column was sent to garrison in Liaoyang, and the Anshan troops were transferred to the main force led by Luo Ronghuan and Cai Zhong.

Defense, caught up with the main force by train and returned to the army. In addition to the rocket artillery regiment towed by cars accompanying the first column, the supporting firepower also caught up with the first column artillery regiment and the first field artillery regiment of the artillery column.

The Armored Brigade and the First Brigade were preparing to attack the city. The Second Brigade had begun to outflank Siping City, preparing to cut off the connection between Siping City and Gongzhuling. The sound of gunfire was heard, and the Second Brigade's outflanking troops had already exchanged fire with the defending enemy.

From the landing at Huayuankou to the present, the Armored Brigade, the First Brigade, and the Second Brigade have been in battle. Although relying on the advantages of armor, firepower, and car transportation and train transportation, the casualties of the troops are small. The soldiers have to travel less miles, but this

It is a war, not a writer writing novels. Bullets will leave a hole in everyone's body. Casualties and casualties are unavoidable, and the fatigue of the soldiers is also unavoidable. Under normal circumstances, after capturing Shenyang, the armored brigade and the entire column should rest and recuperate.

However, the fighter plane was fleeting. If we did not attack Changchun before the main force of the Kwantung Army returned for reinforcements, it was very likely that our army would form a confrontation with the Japanese army and enter a brutal offensive and defensive battle. Therefore, Liu Yimin ruthlessly ordered Gao Yuan to lead a group of troops.

The main force continued to attack rapidly in the direction of Changchun without stopping.

Liu Yimin's order is clear, hurry up, hurry up, hurry up, hit Changchun as quickly as possible. As long as the city of Changchun is captured, the mission of Yizong will be completed, and Mashan will withdraw to rest and prepare for the implementation of new tasks.

combat mission.

Gao Yuan knew that the reason why Liu Yimin did not give one column the task of attacking Changchun City was because our army's troops were progressing at different speeds. One column alone could not capture Changchun. Unless the enemy of Changchun broke out when our army arrived in Changchun,

The Kwantung Army was shaken and abandoned the city and fled. But that was impossible. At this time, the Kwantung Army was strong and elite. They would not abandon the city and flee. They would probably stick to it and wait for reinforcements. In an attempt to mobilize the generals

I wiped them out in one fell swoop under Changchun City.

What Liu Yimin wanted was to besiege the city and provide reinforcements, and use Changchun as bait to mobilize the Japanese army, not to fight the Japanese army in Changchun City!

After the plateau observation, he turned to Chief of Staff Zhou Yi, First Brigade Commander Wang Dahu, and Armored Brigade Commander Zhao Dahe and said: "There are not many enemies defending Siping City. Judging from the intelligence provided by Zhao Yonggang and others, there is only one Japanese army in the Siping area*

*The Third Garrison usually lives in the city** The Third Garrison headquarters and an infantry brigade, as well as some military police and police. The night before yesterday plus yesterday, one day and one night, it is impossible for the Japanese army to complete the task of shrinking the troops, and it is impossible for the Japanese army to complete the task of shrinking the troops.

It is impossible to completely abandon the surrounding counties. Reconnaissance has not found any signs of a large-scale gathering of enemies from Changchun Gongzhuling towards Siping. I judge that the regular Japanese army in Siping City will not exceed three brigades now, and the rest are improvised and insufficient.

It’s time to attack Siping City!”

After finishing speaking, Gao Yuan ordered: "Chief of Staff, go to the artillery position and give unified command to all the infantry artillery of the column artillery regiment, the first field artillery regiment and the first brigade. I will give you half an hour to prepare. After half an hour, the artillery group will fire."

, concentrated bombardment on the earthen city wall in the west of the road and the Japanese military fortifications that could be observed, opening the way for the main attack. After 10 minutes of shelling, the artillery position was immediately moved to make air defense preparations to guard against possible Japanese bombings. Chief of Staff, send your

Use all special anti-aircraft tactics! Use all your strength, with the armored brigade as the leader, rush into Siping City and defeat the enemy in one fell swoop!"

To deal with the earthen walls of Siping City, the temporary fortifications on the roads, and the barricades, there was no need for a rocket launcher regiment. Gao Yuan did not order the rocket launcher regiment to go into battle.

Gao Yuan's orders revealed endless self-confidence. This self-confidence comes from a column of powerful artillery fire and armored groups. Without these two, it is estimated that he will honestly order the troops to carry out soil work. This is what the conditions are.

battle!

There is another reason, that is, according to intelligence, although the Japs in Siping have many veterans and are determined to fight, the equipment of the Japanese garrison is not good. There are no tanks and anti-tank guns, so they do not pose a threat to the armored group. To deal with them, a vertical armor

The brigade is like drinking thin soup. Gao Yuan knows that the real fierce battle is behind. After attacking Gongzhuling, I'm afraid they will encounter the Kwantung Army's mixed armored brigade, the second tank division and anti-tank weapons.

.

When the time came to attack, as three red signal bombs soared into the sky, the infantry artillery of the first field artillery regiment, the first column artillery regiment, the first column, the first brigade, and the second brigade roared, and the shells hit the west side of Siping City Road hard.

Japanese and puppet defense positions at various intersections and earthen walls.

Siping City was originally a town with earthen walls. When the Russians built the railway and built the city, they still built a city that combined a modern city where the Russians lived and an old town where the Chinese lived. This is still the case for the little devils. Siping City is now

It has become the provincial capital of Siping. The original earthen city wall of Siping Street is still preserved, which was exploited by the Japanese at this time.

Our army's attack direction is the Daoxi area, and we plan to attack from Daoxi to the Daodong area.

The running group let out an earth-shattering roar, and groups of artillery shells streaked across the sky. They landed on the defensive positions of the Japanese and puppet troops, blasting dust from the earthen city walls and creating many gaps.

Such powerful artillery fire was concentrated at one point. Not to mention Siping City, which is not firmly fortified at the moment, even if it is firmly fortified, it will be destroyed!

While the artillery roared, the two tank regiments of the armored brigade drove out of the attack position, their motors roaring, guiding the huge armored vehicles and steel torrent of cars towards Siping City.

This kind of concentrated artillery fire to break through the city defense and armored groups to follow up the assault tactics is already familiar to Yi Zong. But for the Japanese army in Siping City, it was the first time they encountered it. Many soldiers were shaken by such dense artillery fire.

His ears and nose were bleeding, and he was dumbfounded as he watched the emergency repair fortifications being destroyed by the intensive artillery shells of the Northeast People's Anti-Japanese Democratic Alliance. He was dumbfounded as he watched his companions crawling in the fortifications preparing to use precise shooting skills to be blown to pieces by the artillery shells. Before he could wait,

They reacted, and before the bombardment stopped, the sound of rumbling motors could be heard in the distance, and tanks, armored vehicles, and car convoys came roaring towards them one after another.

When the attacking troops advanced into Siping City, the artillery fire suddenly stopped. Tanks poured in from the gaps in the earthen wall and from the roads of Siping City.

The tactics of the first column assault force of the Northeast People's Anti-Japanese Democratic Alliance Army were different from those imagined by the Japanese army in Siping City. After the two tank regiments entered the city, they quickly interspersed through the main streets of Siping. What followed were not infantry attacking on foot, but armored vehicles.

They were equipped with armored vehicles, vehicle-mounted machine guns, and the various firepower of the soldiers in the vehicles were firing while marching. As soon as the Japanese army's firepower point was exposed, it would immediately attract a rifle grenade or a rocket fired from a rocket launcher, and it would explode with a bang.

, the little devil’s firepower flew into the sky.

If in history, the Northeast Field Army had weapons such as rocket launchers to attack enemy firepower points during the Siping offensive, Chen Mingren would probably have become a prisoner of our army long ago, and he would not have become the founding general of our army after the uprising.

Groups of tanks, armored vehicles, and cars poured into Siping City. The total number of vehicles almost accounted for half of the total strength of the Japanese army in Siping. It was ridiculous that the commander hiding in the Japanese army headquarters in Daodong did not know how powerful he was, and even ordered the Japanese army in Daoxi at the top of his lungs.

Carry out a counter-attack, seal the gap, and drive Yizong out of the gap!

It would have been better if the Japanese army did not counterattack. This counterattack hit the muzzle of the Eighth Route Army's vehicle-mounted machine gun. About two squadrons of Japanese troops were seen rushing up, shouting. They threw grenades first, and under the cover of the explosion of the grenade, they fired at

The Eighth Route Army launched a charge. These guys dreamed of rushing to the tank and blowing up the tank with bomb bags and grenades!

The vehicle-mounted machine guns on the tanks are singing, the vehicle-mounted machine guns on the armored vehicles are singing, the heavy machine guns on the cars, the August 1 machine guns, and the August 1 automatic rifles are singing. The Japanese troops engaged in counter-assaults have become targets, and the main force in the column is weaving.

Dancing in the net of fire!

The difference in equipment made the armored assault group look like an adult bullying a child, and the little Japanese counter-assault force collapsed instantly.

The assault continues.

Wang Dahu, commander of the 1st Brigade, ordered the 3rd Regiment to stay behind to clear out the remaining enemies. The 1st Regiment, 2nd Regiment and the Heavy Machine Gun Regiment followed the armored brigade in a vehicle to attack Daodong.

The Daodong area is different from Daoxi in that it has Russian-style and Japanese-style buildings. The Japanese army can rely on high-rise buildings and basements to resist.

What Yi Zong pursues is the speed of attack. The tanks and armored vehicles are at full power, guiding the steel torrent composed of cars to roll forward. The purpose is to first occupy the main streets in the east area of ​​​​Siping Road, and then eliminate the remaining enemies at targeted locations.

Faced with such a powerful offensive by our army, the Siping Japanese commander was dumbfounded and refused to listen and sent a message to the Kwantung Army headquarters for help.

Yamada Otsuzo and Muto Akira could not have imagined that the defense line of the Siping garrison collapsed in an instant, and they were stunned after receiving the telegram asking for help.

Muto Akira composed himself and reported to Yamada Otsuzo: "Your Excellency, Commander, it seems that we need to adjust our plan. Siping cannot hold on anymore, and Gongzhuling is also in danger. Is it possible to consider letting the 2nd Tank Division and the 10th Tank Division

The Fourth Division and the 28th Division are dispatched to reinforce Gongzhuling?"

The 14th Division, the 28th Division and the 2nd Tank Division, and the 53rd Division were units directly under the Kwantung Army and assumed the task of the Kwantung Army's strategic reserve. After the end of the Japanese-Soviet War, these four divisions

All regiments retreated, the 2nd Tank Division, the 14th Division, the 28th Division were stationed in Changchun for training, and the 53rd Division stayed in the Harbin area.

Yamada Otsuzo was also frightened, but his battle plan had already taken shape and would not be changed easily. He heard Yamada Otsuzo say coldly: "Telegram to Siping that no soldier will be allowed to retreat until the end of the battle. We must

Delay the enemy's attack for one day. Order the aviation force to dispatch to support the Siping garrison operations. Order the Gongzhuling Tank School and the logistics organization to immediately retreat to Changchun. The 2nd, 14th, and 28th Tank Divisions cannot move.

, I want to give Liu Yimin a head-on blow at the foot of Changchun City!"

Akira Muto thought that Yamada Otsuzo's decision made sense. Since he was going to fight Liu Yimin under Changchun City, he could not use the main force defending Changchun in advance.

The stick-to-stick order from the Kwantung Army headquarters made the Japanese troops in Siping completely crazy. Knowing that their death was coming, the little devils lit ** bags from the windows of the building and threw them on the road, and shot out from the ventilation windows in the basement.

In a last-ditch struggle, the little Japs even made urgent Molotov cocktails, rushed out of the building, and threw them at the tanks and armored vehicles of the Eighth Route Army, hoping to burn them down.

Molotov cocktails are a crude way to deal with tanks, and they are also effective. The Eighth Route Army also used them. But what the little devils don’t know is that after the tanks of the Eighth Route Army were modified by radio expert Li Qiang, every tank and armored vehicle was equipped with this radio.

, the communication is smooth, the command is satisfactory, the tanks cooperate very well, and it is easy to detect danger. After the little Japs throwing Molotov cocktails are discovered, they will be beaten into a hornet's nest by machine guns. Then, the tank turret rotates, throwing bombs and Molotov cocktails at them.

The window banged, just like a shot. The kid hiding in the basement was even worse. If a rocket went in, not even an ant, let alone a human, could survive.

After Gao Yuan entered Daodong District, he reported to Liu Yimin: "Our army controls Siping."
