Liu Hai and Staff Officer Liu went to the headquarters of the First Corps together. The headquarters of the 1st Corps was located in a small village. Commander Xiao Jinguang was thinking about the current problem, and when he heard his staff officer say that his superiors had sent an artillery inspector, he frowned and thought about it, but he really didn't figure out what this artillery inspector was doing, so he sent the chief of staff to deal with it! As a result, Staff Officer Liu said very hard, the military commander of the army must come to accept the inspection, and others cannot be replaced, unless the military commander defects or sacrifices! The helpless chief of staff had no choice but to call Staff Officer Liu and Liu Hai together in front of Xiao Jinguang! "Hello Commander Xiao!" Staff Officer Liu and Liu Hai saluted together! "Hmm!" As the five tiger generals under No. 1, Xiao Jinguang naturally has his majesty! "What do you mean by coming? I heard that I want to inspect my artillery, and I told you that my artillery is arranged and organized by me from the establishment to the personnel, and there is no problem, no need to check! I'm commanding the battle right now, and I don't have time to bother with these Raushs! Xiao Jinguang said.

As the commander of the First Corps plus the old Red Army plus the Five Tiger Generals, as well as many years of experience and experience from Rong, it is absolutely qualified to be too lazy to take care of the bangs! Although the order of the first is that those who violate the order are dismissed from their posts on the spot and arrested, but for the commander of the 1st Corps, this article does not apply! Liu Hai naturally knew that the commander Xiao Jinguang in front of him was indeed a general, and he was afraid that he would not be able to get it well, so he set his eyes on the military map behind Xiao Jinguang. From the perspective of military situation, Xiao Jinguang commanded the troops to prepare to launch a siege war against Changchun! The attack on Changchun was discussed by the Northeast Bureau of the Communist Party of China and the Northeast Military Region on the attack on Changchun, and they sent a telegram to the Central Military Commission of the Communist Party of China, planning to start the Changchun Campaign in the middle of the year, attack Changchun with nine columns, and prepare 40,000 casualties by means of besieging the city and sending reinforcements, and end the battle within 10 to 15 days. The Central Military Commission of the Communist Party of China agreed to the proposal to attack Changchun. The People's Liberation Army (PLA) set up the first front-line siege command post in Lijiatun, forty or fifty kilometers southeast of Changchun, with Xiao Jinguang as commander and Xiao Hua as political commissar. At this time, the People's Liberation Army had completed the encirclement of Changchun, and the first column, the seventh column and three independent divisions surrounded Changchun. The map in front of me just depicts the situation of the enemy and the enemy, as well as the deployment of troops on both sides!

"Commander Xiao, when did the Seven Columns to the east of Changchun arrive?" Bangs asked suddenly. Xiao Jinguang turned his head strangely and glanced at the military situation map behind him, and said, "Yesterday! What's wrong? "If the position of his direct artillery regiment is here, he should almost be beaten today!" Bangs said confidently. "How do you know?" Xiao Jinguang looked at his bangs in surprise. "The artillery of the Seventh Column has almost no American-style artillery, basically the low-bore guns and Japanese-style mountain artillery that were previously supplemented, and its left flank is the Kuomintang's temporary 38th Division, the temporary 38th Division is the American armament unit, and the range of the American artillery equipped is about 14,000 meters, that is, 14 kilometers, according to the scale of this map, the cannon of the Seventh Column is just within the range of the opponent's artillery, while the artillery of the Seventh Column cannot reach the opponent, but the Seventh Column puts the artillery in such a place, and can include the opponent's large body airfield within the firing range. Dafangshen Airport is the only external passage to Changchun that is now besieged, and the Kuomintang will never allow the artillery fire of the People's Liberation Army to threaten Dafangshen Airport! Now that the other side has air superiority, the artillery reconnaissance planes must have discovered the artillery positions of the Seventh Column through aerial reconnaissance, and they were stationed yesterday, and they will be discovered by the artillery reconnaissance planes almost this morning. "Bangs successfully drew a few straight lines on the map, and it was clear and clear!

"Report! Oh no, the artillery regiment directly under the 7th Column was attacked by the enemy's superior ground-air fire, suffered heavy losses, the regiment commander died, and the political commissar was presiding over the work, and now the 7th Column has lost artillery, and has been attacked by the opponent's firepower, and has retreated two kilometers, asking for new artillery support! A staff officer ran in and said angrily. What the? Xiao Jinguang couldn't believe his ears, turned his head and looked at his bangs like a ghost! Tell them to resist Lao Tzu, and if the Kuomintang breaks out, I will cut off his head and make a few cuts! Xiao Jinguang roared angrily. That's not the way! Liu Hai said, "New artillery must be deployed first, otherwise the Seventh Column will definitely not be able to stop even one American mechanic!" "Deploy a new artillery regiment to reinforce!" Xiao Jinguang ordered! "It is necessary to garrison in Gazilianggou, which is an excellent place, which can not only hit Dafangshan Airport, but also avoid the artillery of the 38th Division!" Liu Hai said to Xiao Jinguang. "Order the new artillery regiment to go to Gazilianggou to set up defenses!" Xiao Jinguang immediately added. "Commander Xiao, I want to ask again, are you planning to storm Changchun?" Bangs asked again. "Yes, it's just that there is no exact information on Changchun's defense system and official distribution, and it is mainly a siege for the time being!" Xiao Jinguang's accurate judgment of Liu Hai's artillery losses in the Seven Columns had already made Xiao Jinguang feel that the young man in front of him was not simple, so Liu Hai said it as soon as he asked.

"Comrade commander, I suggest that you better surrender to Changchun by encirclement! As far as I know, the capital of Manchukuo was located here. During the occupation, the Japanese Kwantung Army built many permanent fortifications here, and after the national army entered Changchun, the fortifications were strengthened. There are many permanent bunkers and bunkers in Changchun, and the buildings and streets in the city center are connected by underground tunnels, forming a core garrison, and there are trenches three meters wide and two meters deep on the periphery, with longitudinal fire and barbed wire, *, tripwire, deer barricades, traps and other fortifications. At that time, Changchun was already a strong and well-defended city, and its defense commander Zheng Dongguo was by no means ordinary, if he attacked hard, he must be prepared for at least 100,000 casualties! Bangs said. How do you know in such detail? Even if you were the staff officer of No. 1, this kind of thing should be provided to us first-hand, but No. 1 did not send such a telegram, who are you? Xiao Jinguang asked alertly. His identity is only known to a few people, and it belongs to the top secret of the Northeast Field Army and the party, and you have no right to know! Number One can guarantee that he can be absolutely at ease! Staff Officer Liu said. In that case! Xiao Jinguang suddenly pounced over and grabbed his bangs' hand, "Come, help me find a way, I'm exhausted in donkey skills!" ”

It turns out that Xiao Jinguang besieged Changchun One of the most important prerequisites is to occupy or block the Dafangshen Airport, if this purpose is not achieved, then the blockade of Changchun is empty talk, the Kuomintang aircraft can use this airport to carry out large-scale airlift, to replenish various materials for Changchun City, so if you want to really besiege Changchun, you must take the Dafangshen Airport! But after several large-scale attacks, the attacking troops either entered and were driven out, or could not attack, the Kuomintang troops guarding the Dafangshen Airport were all American mechanics, well-equipped, and of high quality, Zheng Dongguo said the same to Liu Hai, it was by no means an ordinary person, so the task of besieging Changchun was so far a bottle of dissatisfaction, half a bottle of swaying, Xiao Jinguang worked hard but got nothing, the only gain was that he lost more than 3,000 people!

"Commander Xiao, I have a way to help you, but you have to promise to let your artillery participate in training after the war, the quality of your artillery is so poor that you actually put the artillery position within the absolute range of the opponent's artillery!" Bangs said unceremoniously. "That's no problem, I agreed!" Xiao Jinguang said without hesitation. "As I said just now, you can't attack Changchun hard, you must focus on besieging it, as for the matter of Dafangshen Airport, it is actually very simple, that is, to attack the east and west, lure the enemy to attack, and then look for fighters! Attract the opponent's attention with frequent battles first, and let the opponent know that they have been surrounded to death. According to Zheng Dongguo's habits, he will not sit still, he will choose to attack decisively, break the encirclement, at least make efforts in this regard, and wait for his breakthrough troops to come out, encircle and annihilate them! Then assault on all sides, distract the enemy's attention, concentrate superior artillery fire, concentrate elite troops to carry out a surprise attack on the Dafang airfield, and you can take it down in one fell swoop! Bangs said his plan in one go. Good way, if this plan is realized, then Changchun is only a matter of time! After Xiao Jinguang listened, he was afraid that after looking at the map, he affirmed Liu Hai's plan! Xiao Jinguang immediately made a decision to take the long-term siege as the general policy of attacking Changchun, and several important orders for the military encirclement and economic blockade of Changchun were: Strictly prohibit food and fuel from entering the enemy area, and strictly prohibit the people in the city from leaving the city.

After Xiao Jinguang's plan began to be implemented, in order to maintain the outer defensive ground and secure the airport, the Changchun defenders attacked the northwest of Changchun with one and a half divisions of the New Seventh Army and one division of the 60th Army, attacking the 12th and 36th Divisions of the People's Liberation Army near Xiaohelong, trying to drive away the People's Liberation Army and ensure that the Dafangshen airfield was out of the range of the PLA's artillery fire. Occupy the small Helong. In order to implement an air blockade, the People's Liberation Army (PLA) attacked the Xiaohelong and Dafangshen airfields with the 1st, 6th, 12th, 34th, 35th, and independent 715th Divisions, annihilating about 6,000 people from the two regiments of the Provisional 56th Division of the New Seventh Army stationed at the airports, and capturing Wang Zhengguo, deputy commander of the Provisional 56th Division. Zheng Dongguo ordered the troops to return quickly, the People's Liberation Army occupied the Dafangshen airfield, and the air transportation between the defenders of Changchun and Shenyang was interrupted. The PLA lost more than 2,000 men in this battle, and it was precisely during this trial attack that the PLA commanders realized that it was impossible to storm Changchun, and could only change the attack to a siege to trap the defenders of Changchun in the city. This operation was very successful, and it occupied the Dafangchang Airport very smoothly, completely cutting off Changchun's communication channel with the outside world!
