With the spread of war in the south of the Songhua River like a spring breeze, time is also in the air of gunpowder smoke tense and rapid passing, in early summer May, the scorching heat of the sun in the blood and fire scattered in the northeast land, and the war ahead is also intensifying with the initial rise of summer temperature.

On the 17th, the 1st Column of the Northeast Field Army and the 2nd Column that broke through Huaide coordinated with each other to launch a fierce siege on the 71st Army, annihilating most of it, and then taking advantage of the victory to continue to spread to Siping in full swing to the south, on the 24th, the 1st Column occupied Gongzhuling, Taojiatun and other strongholds, and captured Faku on the 26th, while the 2nd Column occupied Changtu on the 27th, and on the 28th, the three independent divisions of Ximan also successfully joined the 1st Column of the Northeast Field Army in Faku.
At the same time, the 3rd and 4th Columns of the Northeast Field Army and the local armed forces of the Liaodong Military Region conquered Shancheng and Caoshi Towns on the Shen (Yang) Ji (Lin) Line on the 14th, and annihilated one regiment of the 184th Division of the 60th Army of the National Revolutionary Army and one of the 20th Provisional Division; On the 16th and 17th, they repelled the counterattack of 6 divisions of the Kuomintang army, annihilated the 22nd Division in the Nanshan Chengzi area, and then continued to march in the direction of Shenyang, captured Dongfeng on the 25th, and captured the Meihekou on the Jiji line in Shenyang on the 28th, completely annihilating the main force of the 184th Division of the defenders, while the Kuomintang defenders stationed in Qingyuan and Xifeng retreated westward when they heard the news.
During this period, Xiao Jinguang ordered the 6th Column of the Northeast Field Army, the 3rd and 4th Independent Divisions of the Northeast Field Army, and the East Manchurian Independent Division of the East Manchurian Combat Army, to attack the Kuomintang troops scattered and garrisoned on the La (French) Ji (Lin) line, Lianke Tiangang, Jiangmifeng and other places, and intercept and annihilate the 1 regiment of the New 38th Division of the National Revolutionary Army south of Lao Yeling. Subsequently, the 6th Column and the East Manchurian Independent Division continued to develop southward, and with the coordination of the 1st and 2nd Independent Divisions, they annihilated the 21st Division of the 60th Army of the Kuomintang Army between Panshi and Shuangyang, and took advantage of the victory to occupy Shuangyang, Yitong, Huadian, Huinan and other cities.
In the battle in full swing, time has also passed in a flash into June, at this moment in the operational command room of the Northeast Field Army Headquarters in Jilin, Lin Biao looked at the telegrams with good news in front of him, and his eyes couldn't help but flash with excitement, while Han Chen's heart on the side was full of bitterness, from the battle report, it was indeed a victory, but Han Chen knew that the casualties of his troops were not small, and his eyes couldn't help but flicker with worry, Lin Biao experienced a short period of joy, and naturally took in the worry in Han Chen's eyes, So he looked at Han Chen and said.
"Brother, rest assured, I know in my heart, the war has been going on for more than a month, so far our Northeast Field Army of North Manchuria has controlled most of the railways between Changshen and the vast areas on both sides, isolated Siping, and Ximan has also joined the division with the 1st column, and his Xiao Jinguang's Northeast Field Army of South Manchurian has controlled the middle section of Shenji Road, the eastern section of Si (Ping) Mei (Hekou) Road and the vast areas on both sides, and the 6th Column of East Manchurian also rushed to Siping, preparing to join the main force of North Manchurian in the south of Siping, and surround Siping from all sides, and JilinTo the south of Changchun, the Kuomintang army in the vast area of the northeast of Siping has all been wiped out by the Siman coalition army of our Northeast Field Army, so that the three independent divisions of the 1st Column and West Manchurian can rest and recuperate for a period of time and prepare for the Siping Offensive! ”
Lin Biao's eyes flashed with wisdom to analyze the advantages of his coalition forces in the current battle situation, Han Chen's eyes were quietly pressed in the bottom of his heart after hearing this, Lin Biao was not carried away by the victory of the battle report, he was relieved, after all, this summer counteroffensive also invested most of the Northeast Field Army, so that Han Chen couldn't help but worry about Lin Biao's state, and now seeing that Lin Biao had regained his former calm and wisdom after experiencing a short period of happiness, he was also relieved.
"Xiao Jinguang just sent the latest message, take a look!" Han Chen put his mind at ease and handed the message sent by Xiao Jinguang to Lin Biao, Lin Biao took the message handed by Han Chen, and wrote in a beautiful pen.
"The main force is approaching Shenyang, you can experience the lion with peace of mind!"
Lin Biao looked at this short message and couldn't help but the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, and he sighed in his heart, it seems that Xiao Jinguang, who knows me, really wants to thank him this time, if it weren't for his full cooperation, I'm afraid that the central government would not agree to his own Siping battle, Lin Biao couldn't help but look at the message that had just been sent from the central government, the word simple approval, but it was only sent today, carrying how many days and nights of the central government's examination school, and then looked at the adjutant beside him and ordered.
"Telegraph to Li Tianyou, commander of the 1st column, from today onwards, Li Tianyou will be the pre-war commander-in-chief, Wan Yi will be the deputy commander, responsible for the Siping offensive, rest for half a month, and attack Siping after half a month!"
After Lin Biao finished speaking, the adjutant carefully wrote down Lin Biao's words, and then turned around and left to send the message, and Lin Biao, wearing a light green military uniform, came to the military deployment map that the staff officers had marked in combination with the good news, his eyes flashed with a bright and determined gaze, looked at Han Chen beside him, breathed a long sigh of relief, and said later.
"Next, it's up to him Du Yuming to choose, and there is the duel between Li Tianyou and Chen Mingren, to see if my spear, which has gathered momentum, can break through the shield that Chen Mingren is gathering momentum to defend!"
After listening to Lin Biao's words, Han Chen naturally understood what Lin Biao meant, now that the army has been put into the Northeast Battlefield, Li Tianyou did not disappoint Lin Biao's expectations and successfully arrived outside Siping City, and Xiao Jinguang's deployment was also completed as promised, the next thing is to test Li Tianyou's coalition army, whether this newborn lion can capture the fortified city of Siping, and I don't know what Du Yuming will plan next!
At this moment, under the sound of the dripping telecommunications in the Shenyang Operational Command Headquarters, Zheng Dongguo was busy looking at the battle report sent by the battle in front of him, his eyes were full of bitterness, Zheng Dongguo still did not expect that the newly-born Northeast Field Army was so brave, and it had already attacked near Siping in a month, although Changchun they only captured the periphery, but they still eliminated the army of many of their cities.
At this moment, Du Yuming was not in the combat conference room, but in his office, Du Yuming looked at the afterglow of the sunset outside the window, his eyes flashed with deep loneliness, is the party-state really like this sunset, it has sunset, in the face of the considerable combat power of the Northeast Field Army, it is actually defeated and retreated, although it has not lost the integrity of the party-state, but defeat is defeat, or let Lin Biao's army come to Siping, and also make Du Yuming more and more disheartened about the war situation in the Northeast.
Du Yuming sighed with his hands behind his back under the reflection of the sunset, although he had already expected the current battle situation, but when it really happened, the cruel reality was in front of him, Du Yuming also had to admit that today's National Revolutionary Army has long lost the spirit of the original Northern Expedition and the anti-Japanese period, a little victory is proud and complacent, a little defeat is a wind and fled, so that Du Yuming's heart is full of loss and disappointment.
"The sunset in the West Mountain, the remnant sun is 30,000 hectares, and in the thousands of mountains, the long smoke and sunset are closed in a lonely city. Looking at the autumn grass alone, the savages plough the sunset, the mountains reflect the slanting, the sky receives the water, the grass is ruthless, and it is outside the sun! Defending the land for three years, attacking for several spring and autumn, tens of thousands of miles, like the fire of war and the drums of war. Looking at the railing, scattered people enjoy the sunset, the afterglow of the city, the earth is full of fire, the heavens are ruthless, and the sunset is even more visible! ”
Du Yuming looked at the blood-colored remnant sun outside the window, and improvised and lonely chanted a song in this situation, and Zheng Dongguo and Xiao Shan talked about the war ahead and came to Du Yuming's office, the two happened to hear Du Yuming's new words chanted by his own experience to the bloody remnant sun, Zheng Dongguo listened to Du Yuming's words, and his heart was also full of bitterness and helplessness, yes, who would have thought that the three armies in the past, as well as the new Northeast Army with American-style equipment in hand, are now in the Northeast, was defeated by Lin Biao and Xiao Jinguang's Northeast Field Army.
Du Yuming's back under the sunset looked even more old and lonely in the afterglow of the sunset, and Du Yuming also heard the footsteps of the two, turned around with a long sigh, looked at Zheng Dongguo with a bitter face and Xiao Shan who was worried on the side, showed an optimistic smile, and looked at Zheng Dongguo and Xiao Shandao.
"Okay, I already know the battle ahead, Gui Ting, you don't have to worry, after all, we can command them how to fight under the overall situation, but it is our soldiers who really face the enemy, and victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, you must not worry too much, lose your inner perseverance and clarity!"
After Du Yuming finished speaking, Zheng Dongguo nodded with a straight face, secretly feeling guilty in his heart, it seems that the general himself still cares too much about the victory or defeat of the battle, and Xiao Shan looked at Du Yuming's indifferent attitude at this moment, and his heart was silent for a while, how could Xiao Shan not hear Du Yuming's words of discouragement, but Du Yuming deliberately made a calm and optimistic posture in order to make Zheng Dongguo feel at ease, this is the bearing that a general of the three armies should have.
"Gui Ting, now that Lin Biao's Dongman army is outside Siping City, what is the movement of Xiao Jinguang's Nanman now?" Just when Xiao Shan was pondering, Du Yuming looked at Zheng Dongguo with Gu Bo in his eyes and said, Zheng Dongguo heard Du Yuming's words, so he handed the latest message to Du Yuming and said.
"After Xiao Jinguang's 3rd and 4th columns of South Manchury occupied Qingyuan and Xifeng, they had already controlled the middle section of Shenji Road, the eastern section of Si (Ping) Mei (Hekou) Road and the vast area on both sides, and the 6th Column of East Manchurian also rushed to Siping, preparing to join Lin Biao's main army of North Manchurian south of Siping, and at the same time, the 3rd and 4th columns of South Manchurian have rushed to Benxi!"
After listening to this, Du Yuming took Zheng Dongguo's message very calmly, put the message on the table casually, and then took a pen to circle Benxi, and then drew a red arrow pointing to Shenyang, and said with a bright gaze in his eyes.
"It seems that this Xiao Jinguang is full of confidence, in order to help Lin Biao, he actually wants to let his trump card go out, approaching Shenyang, it is really a soldier who dies for his confidant, and there are many good deeds!"
