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 won Siping in only 23 hours and annihilated the Siping defenders. The reason why this is the case is that our army is good at summing up lessons and lessons, improving one step after another, and becoming stronger the more we fight. The defeat in the Siping Defense Battle gave birth to a change in our army's strategic thinking of the northeast, and the Northeast Field Army grew to 400,000 men in just one year and began to launch a counteroffensive. As the commander of the Northeast Field Army and secretary of the Northeast Bureau, he took responsibility and demanded that the troops comprehensively sum up the lessons and lessons, and wrote a letter to Li Tianyou, the commander of the first column who served as the commander of the front, asking him to re-understand the principle of seeking truth from facts, the principle of everything determined by conditions, the principle of revolutionary effectivism, and the principle of whether practice is correct or not, and conscientiously sum up the lessons. As a result, Li Tianyou, who was good at learning, lived up to expectations and defeated the Kuomintang defenders in the second Siping Battle. Since then, our Northeast Field Army has been invincible and invincible!

A column led by Gao Yuan, whether it is training or equipment, is unparalleled in our army, it is a standard trump card force, following Liu Yimin to fight in the south and the north, without fighting or fighting, and has made great achievements.

At present, the 1st Column and 3rd Brigade are still sweeping the Japanese puppet army in the Andong area, and the 1st Column's supplementary regiment, guard battalion, engineer regiment, and baggage regiment have all been taken away to form the Shenyang Garrison District and defend Shenyang with Political Commissar Cheng Cuilin. The only siege forces available on the plateau were the 1st Brigade, 2nd Brigade, Panzer Brigade, Heavy Machine Gun Brigade, Heavy Machine Gun Regiment and supporting fire. In this regard, the troops drawn by the Second Column to garrison Liaoyang and Anshan arrived due to the arrival of the main force led by Luo Ronghuan and Cai Zhong, handed over the defense, and caught up with the main force by train. It was rebuilt. In addition to the rocket artillery regiment drawn by the vehicles moving with the 1st column, the 1st artillery regiment and the 1st field artillery regiment of the artillery column also caught up.

The armored brigade and the 1st brigade are preparing for the siege. The Second Brigade had already begun to outflank Siping City in a roundabout way, preparing to cut off the connection between Siping City and the direction of Gongzhuling. The sound of gunfire was heard, and the roundabout troops of the 2nd Brigade had already exchanged fire with the defending enemy.

From the landing at Huayuankou to the present, the armored brigade, the 1st brigade, and the 2nd brigade have been in battle. Although relying on the superiority in armor and firepower, and the transportation by car and train, the casualties of the troops were small. The soldiers have to run a lot less, but this is a war, not a writer writing a novel, and whoever the bullet hits is a hole, casualties cannot be avoided, and the fatigue of the soldiers cannot be avoided. Under normal circumstances, after the capture of Shenyang, both the armored brigade and the first column should rest. However, the fighters were fleeting, and if Changchun was not attacked before the main forces of the Kwantung Army returned for reinforcements, it was likely that our army would form a confrontation with the Japanese army. Enter a brutal battle of positional assault and defense. Therefore, Liu Yimin ruthlessly ordered Gao Yuan to lead a column of main forces to attack and advance quickly in the direction of Changchun without stopping.

Liu Yimin's order was clear, hurry, hurry, faster, and hit Changchun as quickly as possible. As long as the attack reached the city of Changchun, the mission of the first column was completed, and Ma Shan withdrew to rest and recuperate, preparing to carry out a new combat mission.

Gao Yuan knew that the reason why Liu Yimin did not give the first column the task of attacking Changchun City was because the progress speed of each unit of our army was different, and one column was relied on. You can't take Changchun. Unless when our army entered Changchun, the enemy of Changchun was shaken and abandoned the city and fled. But that is impossible, the Kwantung Army at this time is when the troops are strong and the elite are gathered, they will not abandon the city and flee, and they are likely to wait for reinforcements. I tried to mobilize a large army to annihilate me under the city of Changchun in one fell swoop.

What Liu Yimin wants is to besiege the city for reinforcements, and use Changchun as bait to mobilize the Japanese army, not to fight with the Japanese army in Changchun City!

After observing the plateau, he turned to Zhou Yi, chief of staff, Wang Dahu, commander of the first brigade, and Zhao Dahe, commander of the armored brigade, and said: "There are not many enemies defending Siping City, and from the information provided by Zhao Yonggang, there is only one independent third garrison of the Japanese army in the Siping area, and the headquarters of the independent third garrison and an infantry brigade live in the city in peacetime, and there are also some military police and police. The night before yesterday and yesterday, in one day and one night, it was impossible for the Japanese army to complete the task of shrinking its troops, nor could it completely abandon the surrounding counties. Reconnaissance also found no signs of a large-scale build-up of the enemy at Gongzhuling in Changchun to Siping. In my judgment, the regular army of little devils in Siping City will not exceed three brigades now, and the rest of the shaking is improvised and not a problem. Breaking through Siping City is at this time! ”

After speaking, Gao Yuan ordered: "The chief of staff will go to the artillery position, and unify the command of all the infantry guns of the artillery regiment of the column, the first field artillery regiment and the first brigade, and I will give you half an hour to prepare. Immediately after 10 minutes of shelling, the artillery positions were shifted and anti-aircraft preparations were made to guard against possible bombardment by Japanese aircraft. Chief of Staff, use all your special air defense tactics! Take the armored brigade as the guide, enter Siping City, and break the enemy in one fell swoop! ”

To deal with the earthen city walls of Siping City, the temporary fortifications on the roads, and the barricades, there was no need for rocket artillery regiments, and the plateau did not order rocket artillery regiments to enter the battle.

There is boundless self-confidence in the orders of the plateau. This self-confidence came from a column of powerful artillery fire and armored groups. Without these two things, it is estimated that he would honestly order the troops to carry out earthwork. This is what kind of conditions to fight!

There is another reason, that is, according to intelligence, although the devils in Siping have many veterans and a resolute will to fight, the equipment of the independent garrison is not good, and there are no tanks and anti-tank guns, so they do not pose a threat to the armored group. Against them, a column of armored brigades is like drinking thin soup. Gao Yuan knows in his heart that the real fierce battle is behind. After attacking Gongzhuling, I am afraid that you will encounter the independent mixed armored brigade of the Kwantung Army, the second tank division and anti-tank weapons.

When the time for the attack came, as the three red signal flares rose into the air, the infantry guns of the 1st Field Artillery Regiment, the 1st Column Artillery Regiment, and the 1st Brigade and the 2nd Brigade of the 1st Column let out a roar, and the shells smashed fiercely into the Japanese pseudo-defensive positions at the western intersections of the Siping City Road and the earthen city wall.

This Siping City was originally a town with earthen walls. When the Russians built the city after building the railway, they were still engaged in a combination of modern cities inhabited by Russians and old towns inhabited by Chinese, and the little devils were still like this. Now Siping City has become the capital of Siping Province. The original earthen city wall of Siping Street is still retained, which happened to be used by devils at this time.

The direction of attack of our army is the Dosai area, and it is planned to fight from Dosai to the Dodong area.

The running group let out an earth-shattering roar, and swarms of cannonballs streaked across the sky. Falling to the defensive position of the Japanese puppet army, the earthen city wall was blown into dust, and there were many gaps.

With such a powerful artillery fire, it is concentrated and beaten at one point, not to mention that there is no strong fortification of Siping City at the moment, even if it is a strong fortification, it will be destroyed!

At the same time as the cannon roared. The two tank regiments of the armored brigade drove out of the attack position, and the motors roared, guiding the steel torrent composed of huge armored vehicles and automobiles towards Siping City.

This kind of concentrated artillery fire to break through the city defense and armored clusters to follow up the assault tactics has long been familiar to the first column. But for the Japanese army in Siping City, it was the first time they encountered it. Many soldiers were bleeding from the ears and noses of such a dense artillery fire, and watched in amazement as the fortifications that had been urgently repaired were destroyed in the dense shells of the Northeast People's Anti-Japanese Democratic Alliance Army. Stunned, he watched as his companions, who were crawling in the fortifications and preparing to perform precision marksmanship, were shattered by the shells. Before they could react and stop the shelling, the sound of rumbling motors was heard in the distance, and tank attack detachments, armored vehicles, and automobile teams roared up and killed them.

Wait until the attacking troops advance to Siping City. The shelling of the artillery group came to an abrupt end. Tanks poured in from the gap in the earthen city wall and from the road of Siping City.

The tactics of the first column assault force of the Northeast People's Anti-Japanese Democratic Alliance Army were different from the tactics imagined by the Japanese army in Siping City. After the two tank regiments entered the city, they quickly interspersed the main streets of Siping, followed not by infantry attacking on foot, but by armored vehicles and cars equipped with armored guards, and the various firepower of the soldiers on the vehicles opened fire as they marched. As soon as the Japanese army's firepower point was exposed, a grenade or rocket launched by a rocket launcher would be immediately summoned, and with a bang, the little devil's firepower point would fly into the sky.

If the Northeast Field Army had a rocket launcher as a sharp weapon to attack the enemy's firepower during the Siping Offensive in history, it is estimated that Chen Mingren would have become a prisoner of our army long ago, and he would not have become the founding general of our army after the uprising.

Hordes of tanks, armored vehicles, and automobiles poured into Siping City. The total number of vehicles is almost half of the total strength of the Japanese army in Siping, and the commander who is hiding in the Japanese headquarters in Daodong does not know what is wrong, and he actually orders the Japanese army in Daoxi to carry out a counter-assault with all his might, plug the gap, and drive a column out of the gap!

It was better for the Japanese army not to fight back, and this counterattack hit the muzzle of the Eighth Route Army's vehicle-mounted machine gun alive. I saw about two squadrons of Japanese soldiers rushing up with shouts. Throwing grenades first, under the cover of grenade explosions, launched a charge against the Eighth Route Army. These guys fantasize about being able to rush to the tank and blow it up with explosives packs 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, the Bayi machine guns, and the Bayi automatic rifles on the cars are singing, and the Japanese troops fighting the counter-assault have become targets, dancing in the fire net woven by the main force of the column!

The difference in equipment made the armored assault cluster in one column like an adult bullying a child, and the little devil counter-assault force collapsed in an instant.

The assault continues.

Wang Dahu, commander of the 1st Brigade, ordered the 3rd Regiment to stay behind to clear out the remnants of the enemy, and the 1st Regiment, the 2nd Regiment, and the Heavy Machine Gun Regiment together with the armored brigade rushed to Daodong.

The eastern part of the province is different from the western part of the country, and it is all Russian-style and Japanese-style buildings, and the Japanese army can resist stubbornly with high-rise buildings and basements.

The first column pursued the speed of attack, and the tanks and armored vehicles drove at full power, guiding the steel torrent composed of cars to roll forward, with the aim of first occupying the main street in the eastern area of Sipyeong-do, and then eliminating the remnants of the enemy at fixed points.

In the face of such a powerful offensive of our army, the commander of the Japanese army in Siping was stupid and did not listen to the command of the Kwantung Army and sent a report for help.

Where could Yamada Otozo and Muto Akira have thought that the defense line of the Siping defenders would collapse in an instant, and they were all stunned after receiving the telegram asking for help.

Muto Akira froze and reported to Yamada Otozo, "Your Excellency, it seems that our plans need to be adjusted. Siping can't hold on, and Gongzhuling is also dangerous. Is it possible to consider sending the 2nd Tank Division, the 14th Division, and the 28th Division to reinforce Gongzhuling? ”

The 14th and 28th Divisions, the 2nd Tank Division, and the 53rd Division are units directly under the jurisdiction of the Kwantung Army, which undertake the task of the strategic reserve of the Kwantung Army. After the end of the Japanese-Soviet War, all these four divisions were withdrawn, the 2nd Tank Division, the 14th Division, and the 28th Division were stationed in Changchun for training, and the 53rd Division remained in the Harbin area.

Yamada Otozo was also shocked, but his battle plan had already taken shape and would not be changed easily. I heard Yamada Otozo say coldly: "The telegram told Siping that no one is allowed to retreat until the last soldier fights, and the enemy must be delayed for a day." Ordered the aviation to be dispatched to support the Siping defenders in the battle. Ordered the Gongzhuling Chariot School and logistics agencies to immediately retreat to Changchun. The 2nd Division, the 14th Division, and the 28th Division of the Chariot can't move, and I want to give Liu Yimin a head-on attack under Changchun City! ”

Muto Zhang thought that Yamada Oto's decision was reasonable, since he wanted to fight Liu Yimin in a decisive battle under Changchun City, he could not use the main force to garrison Changchun in advance.

The order sent by the Kwantung Army Headquarters to defend itself made the Siping Japanese army completely crazy. Knowing that their time was approaching, the imps lit explosives packets from the windows of the building and threw them down the road, shooting out of the ventilation windows in the basement in their final struggle. The little devil even urgently made Molotov cocktails, rushed out of the building, and threw them at the tanks and armored vehicles of the Eighth Route Army, trying to burn the tanks and armored vehicles.

Molotov cocktails are a native method against tanks, and they are also an effective native method. The Eighth Route Army also used it. It's just that the little devil doesn't know that after the tanks of the Eighth Route Army have been transformed by radio expert Li Qiang, every tank and armored vehicle is equipped with this radio station, which is smooth and the command is as good as expected, and the combat vehicles cooperate very well and are easy to find dangers. When the little devil throwing Molotov cocktails is discovered, he will be immediately beaten into a hornet's nest by a machine gun, and immediately after that, the turret of the tank rotates, and it smacks at the window where the explosive bag and Molotov cocktail are thrown, which is a shot. The little devil hiding in the basement is even worse, a rocket bounces in, and even an ant can't survive, let alone a person.

After the plateau entered the Daodong District, he sent a report to Liu Yimin: "Our army controls Siping. ”
