Arrogant Liao Yaoxiang (1)
"How did you get this battle? Three divisions besieged one division and still fought like this, and I withdrew those division commanders! "Mr. Lin is not a person who often gets angry, but this time he really feels that he is on fire, and he retreats all the way from Shanhaiguan to here, and finally seizes the fighter plane, and can concentrate superior forces, eliminate its protrusion, and give the New Sixth Army, the ace army, a little color. It's good now, the color is given to the New Sixth Army, but he was knocked out of blood, and the other party lost hundreds of people, but he lost thousands! "Mr. Lin, there is nothing wrong with your command and tactics, it's just that the piece of meat we bit is too hard!" Mr. Lin's deputy said, "The intelligence has come, this unit is the famous Liuhai Fourth Division in the national army, well-equipped, with extremely high personnel quality, not just simple artillery or infantry, but an ace division with independent offensive and defensive combat capabilities combined with infantry artillery!" "Fourth Division? Bangs? I haven't heard of it! Mr. Lin frowned. That's right, we have a comrade who was already lurking in this unit, but he had an emotional connection with this bang, and it was impossible to complete the task of rebellion, so he withdrew, and most of the information about this unit was provided by her. In addition, we have also verified according to our intelligence channels that this Liu Hai is indeed an artillery genius, who has made great contributions in the previous War of Resistance against Japan, and has been fighting the Japanese army as early as during the Battle of Songhu! It's not that we can't do this battle, it's that the opponent is too strong, and it is normal to lose until there is no equal superiority in firepower or absolutely superior to his! The deputy said. Look for his information and see if there is any possibility of plotting against him! Artillery is not the same as infantry, if you don't have the ability, even if your artillery fire is superior to his, you will be wiped out by him! ”
"Liu Shizuo, congratulations, with the strength of one division, he defeated the siege of the three main divisions of the communist army and killed thousands of them, which is amazing!" Liao Yaoxiang said. "Hmmm! Thank you, Junza! Bangs nodded slightly. Brother Liu, we played well, we entered the Northeast, invincible all the way, singing triumphantly, and then it was a very important task, attacking Siping! When Liao Yaoxiang said this, he said proudly, "Siping's attack mission is actually the New First Army, but the New First Army has stumbled and was beaten out of human shape, so the chairman ordered our New Sixth Army to be attacked from the flank, cut off the retreat of the enemy in Siping, and encircle and annihilate it, and the matter of interspersed attacks will not be necessary for Division Commander Liu, but when it is encircled and annihilated, it will depend on you Division Commander Liu Hai!" "It's unlikely, although the reputation of the New First Army is not as loud as our New Sixth Army, but its combat capability is clear to me, when I was at the base in India, my troops and the New First Army received American-style training and equipment!" The boss with bangs open his mouth, it is almost impossible to believe that the new army will collapse in Siping!
In fact, things are not simple, and they are also very simple, after the retreat of the Soviet army, the Northeast Democratic Alliance Army decided to first control the main railway city north of Shenyang after the withdrawal of the Soviet army, and the deployment of the West Manchurian Military Region first seized the strategic place of Siping. In order to seize Siping, the Northeast Democratic Alliance Army's Liaoning West Military Region had a total of more than 6,000 people, including the 1st Regiment of the 1st Brigade, the 56th Regiment of the 2nd Column, the 70th Regiment of the 24th Brigade, the 4th Company of the 3rd Division and the 10th Brigade, a part of the 2nd Division of Western Liaoning, and the Lidong County Brigade. The commander-in-chief of the battlefield was Zhong Wei, commander of the 10th Brigade of the 3rd Division, and the deputy commander-in-chief was Ma Renxing, commander of the 1st Brigade of the Baoyi Brigade. The Kuomintang defenders in Siping were the remnants of the puppet ironstone troops temporarily incorporated by Liu Handong and the bandit armed forces who fled to Siping totaled about 3,000 people. The Northeast Democratic Alliance Army captured the airport in the western suburbs of Siping in advance and besieged the city. The 1st Regiment, the 56th Regiment of the 2nd Column, and the 70th Regiment of the 24th Brigade attacked the city from the west, east, and north of the city respectively, with other troops cooperating. The battle began at 2 a.m. and ended at noon. Except for more than 200 defenders who fled, the remaining 3,000 defenders and government officials were all annihilated. Liu Handong, chairman of the Kuomintang Liaobei Province, Zhang Kai, commander of the security guards, and bandit leaders Wang Dahua and Wang Yaodong were captured alive. In this battle, the Northeast Democratic Alliance Army captured 69 light and heavy machine guns, 32 large and small cannons, more than 2,000 rifles, 20 automobiles, 700 horses, and a large number of other military supplies. But one thing is true, the New First Army did not lose much strength, most of the troops were withdrawn in battalion units, and most of the captured and captured were government personnel temporarily formed by Siping! As for why he retreated, only General Sun Liren knew!
"Division Commander Liu, my plan is that if I want to take Siping, I must first take Benxi, and after making peace with the 88th Division, I will go north!" Liao Yaoxiang said. Liu Hai looked at the map for a while, understood Liao Yaoxiang's thoughts, and also agreed! "That's good, Division Commander Liu has something I still have to say in front, although we are both lieutenant generals, but your fourth division is under my command after all, if you can't complete the task on time, I still have to handle it according to the law!" Liao Yaoxiang said. "Please rest assured, bangs will go all out!" Bangs said. "Okay, then I'll give you the task now, that is, to ask your fourth division to take Benxi independently!" Liao Yaoxiang said. "There is no problem for me to take Benxi alone!" Bangs said. "I naturally believe this, but I want to say that there are two points: the first is that you are afraid that you will not be able to participate in the Battle of Siping, and the second is that you must make a strong noise, so that everyone feels that the New Sixth Army is attacking Benxi with all its might, only in this way can we quietly go north and fight the Siping Communist Army by surprise! Do you understand? "Liao Yaoxiang is really cunning." Junza, I admire you so much! Liu Hai looked at Liao Yaoxiang's glasses and said sincerely. Remember, you have to take it after three days, can you understand? "Understood!"
"Our next step is to attack Benxi, everyone must be ready!" Liu Hai said to his subordinates, Wu Fatzi and Liu Xiaoshan. "Okay!" A group of people said weakly. "What's wrong with you?" Bangs asked. "It's not interesting, these communist troops want guns without guns, guns without guns, it's not interesting to fight, and it will be done in a day at most!" Liu Xiaoshan said. "I know you are powerful, you have not rolled in vain in the past eight years, but this mission is a little special, that is, no matter whether the other party resists strongly or not, we have to fight for three days, as for why you don't have to ask" Liu Hai said. "Military secrets, we don't care about what your chief is considering!" A few people said lazily. "Benxi is not a big place, my plan is to advance fifteen miles a day, and after three days, I will almost take Benxi, the attack sequence is that Liu Xiaoshan is responsible for the main attack on the west, and the teaching battalion and other troops are responsible for the main attack on the west, and the two of you are responsible for opening the way with firepower, the momentum must be large, and the scale must keep up! Do you understand? "Understood!"
"Report to the regiment commander, a large number of troops of Jiang's army have driven to our front, and some troops have begun to detour, I can't see how many troops there are!" The commander of the reconnaissance company said to the regiment commander. "I don't even know how many troops the other side has, how to fight, we must figure out the establishment and scale of the other side, and we can do a good job of defensive deployment!" The head of the regiment said. "Fire!" At this time, the ghost artillery and Wu Fatzi began fire reconnaissance, and the artillery of the two artillery regiments beat the defensive position of the Benxi Democratic Alliance Army into smoke! The huge cannonballs and ghost cannons and the firepower density deliberately controlled by Wu Fatzi made the Democratic Alliance Army in Benxi immediately make a wrong judgment! "Report to the headquarters of the Democratic Alliance Army, the main forces of the New Sixth Army are all in front of Benxi, and they plan to attack Benxi!" The head of the garrison of the Benxi Democratic Alliance Army reported to the headquarters. "This Liao Yaoxiang's brain is dizzy, the New Sixth Army is all used to attack Benxi, although Benxi is the place where Siping must be attacked before, but if this happens, we can be fully prepared! It's going to be difficult for him to capture Siping! A staff officer said to Commander Lin. No, Liao Yaoxiang is no one in his eyes, there is no fancy, he attacks step by step, he sees that we can't do anything about him! No way, who let us have no guys in our hands! Since he is not in a hurry, we don't need to be in a hurry, first mobilize the masses and establish local power, but the fortifications still need to be repaired, and some troops must be transferred to reinforce them! Liao Yaoxiang's arrogance still gave us some time to prepare! Commander Lin said.
However, at this time, the cunning and shrewd Liao Yaoxiang did not lead the New Sixth Army to attack Siping directly from the front, but quietly advanced from Kaiyuan through the mountains east of the Zhongchang Railway to the line of Xifeng, Pinggang, and Huoshilingzi, preparing to detour back to the east of Siping and attack the left back of the Democratic Alliance Army. Liao Yaoxiang retained the 88th Division of the 71st Army, which was assigned to the New Sixth Army, as a reserve, and divided the New 22nd, 14th, and 207th Divisions of the New Sixth Army into two columns, left and right, to carry out frontal attacks, alternately covering each other, and echoing each other. Liao Yaoxiang has succeeded! The 65th Regiment of the New 22nd Division encountered the main force of the 3rd Column of the Northeast Democratic Alliance Army near Nanchengzi. After fierce fighting, the 65th Regiment captured Nanchengzi and Weiyuan Fort Gate. In order to preserve its strength, the Northeast Democratic Alliance Army took the initiative to withdraw from the fighting. The victory in the battle of Weiyuan Fort Gate made Liao Yaoxiang more arrogant and bolder. He boasted complacently to the officers above the New Sixth Army Corps: "The main force of the third column of the communist army cannot stop the attack of one of our regiments, then the strength of one of my divisions can break through the stronger resistance of the communist army. "The new 22nd Division captured Huoshi Lingzi, and the 14th Division entered Pinggang. Liao Yaoxiang ordered the whole army to turn to the left with Huoshilingzi as the axis, attack Tazishan, Lishu, Hersu, Gongzhuling and other places, and prepare to cut off the retreat of the Northeast Democratic Alliance Army after making a detour to the left side of Siping. Under the cover of the air force and powerful artillery fire, the New Sixth Army stormed 333 east of Siping held by the 19th Regiment of the 7th Brigade. 15 Heights and Tazi Mountain positions. The three companies of the Northeast Democratic Alliance Army repeatedly engaged in tug-of-war and hand-to-hand combat with the New Sixth Army. The commanders and fighters of the Northeast Democratic Alliance Army braved the enemy's Thomson*, 60 artillery, Bazooka*'s intensive firepower and *poisonous flames* to twist into a ball with the New Sixth Army. In the end, almost all of the three companies of the Northeast Democratic Alliance Army died heroically at the Tazishan position.
