The reason why Siye's combat strength is strong is very simple, because the composition of his troops condensed the essence of our army at that time, and the Eighth Route Army, the New Fourth Army, and the Anti-Japanese Coalition Troops who rushed to the northeast at that time were all elite soldiers in hundreds of battles, plus the command of Lin Shuai, Luo Shuai, General Deng Hua, General Liu Yalou, General Hong Xuezhi, and a large number of ace generals, it is no wonder that they were able to fight from the icy northeast to the liberation of Hainan Island! Almost eliminated the most important military force of the Nationalist army, today the author uses a large number of precious pictures to show the combat process of Siye in Jinzhou, Changchun and other places.
Mention siye, we must mention the Eighth Route Army, we must mention the 115th Division, we must mention a generation of god of war Lin Shuai, the above figure 1 shows the marching chart of Lin Shuai and Nie Shuai during the War of Resistance, the front is Lin Shuai, the second is Nie Shuai, after the victory of the War of Resistance, Lin Shuai parachuted into the northeast and formed the Autonomous Army (later changed to the Northeast Democratic United Army), which is the predecessor of Siye!
Picture 2 above This photo has been seen by many people, but few people know the source, this is a live photo of the battlefield attack on Jinzhou on October 14, 1948, when the Northeast Democratic Coalition Army has been reorganized into the Northeast Field Army, with a number of nearly half a million! It can be described as a strong soldier!
Before fighting Jinzhou, Siye had already cut the Nationalist army into three major pieces in Changchun, Jinzhou, and Shenyang, and the Nationalist army in Shenyang was still having a good life, relying on the Shenyang airport to replenish supplies. Changchun was completely embattled, with the only airfield lost and hundreds of thousands of troops struggling to survive on a small amount of air supplies. At that time, the city was attacked first, and the Shino command and the Central Military Commission had very different opinions. In the end, Siye accepted the orders of the Military Commission and took the lead in attacking Jinzhou.
After the liberation of Jinzhou, the situation in the northeast battlefield immediately showed a one-sided scene, and Shenyang was already precarious. Changchun has run out of ammunition, and the picture 4 above shows the four field soldiers standing on the tanks of the captured Nationalist Ninety-third Army.
At this time, Siye formed a command post for the siege of Changchun with Xiao Jinguang and Xiao Hua as the main generals, the picture above is the Siye Railway Troops, transporting armored troops to the outer positions of Changchun, and the troops stationed in Changchun are the elite New 7th Army of the Nationalist Army and the 60th Army of the Dian Army. However, this unit, which was not favored by Chiang Kai-shek, spat out blood on the Us army, the British army and more than a dozen allied forces in the Korean battlefield within a few years! The reason is worth pondering for posterity!
On October 17, 1948, the 60th Army revolted on the battlefield, two days later, the New 7th Army surrendered, and on October 21, a full 150 days of siege, Changchun was finally liberated. The picture above shows the surrender troops of the Nationalist army assembling in front of the government building.
The picture above shows the four field tank troops entering the city.
On October 30, 1948, Shenyang defender Wei Lihuang fled by plane under the pretext of reporting on the war situation. At dawn the next day, the attack to liberate Shenyang began!
Picture 9 above This photo is very famous, after the main general fled, all the nationalist troops in Shenyang could hardly organize resistance, and it can be seen that all the nationalist troops arranged their weapons and equipment, waiting for surrender, and the outer PLA entered the direct reorganization! At that time, there was a passage that a small soldier of the four wilds ran into the courtyard and said that they all laid down their weapons and did not kill them. Many veterans of the Kuomintang inside replied expressionlessly that they had already laid down their weapons and had been waiting for you for a long time! Shenyang was successfully liberated!
