After the end of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, China, which had ushered in peace, was once again involved in the war because of Chiang Kai-shek's ambitions, which is what everyone knows about the War of Liberation, this war was originally full of confidence by Chiang Kai-shek, who felt that he not only had strength, but also motivation, and would definitely be able to win the final victory, but as the war continued, Chiang Kai-shek's troops fought less and less, while the troops on the Communist Party's side fought stronger and stronger, and the final victory or defeat was already obvious.
In the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, because the enemy was too strong, our army was weak and weak, so we could only break it into parts, establish base areas throughout the country, and fight guerrilla warfare against the enemy, which also made our army relatively scattered. Therefore, after the start of the Liberation War, Chiang Kai-shek mobilized a large number of troops to divide and encircle our army, which made our army passive in the initial battle.
Fortunately, our army won victories in three battles, which made our army's situation in the war change a lot after that, ** Seeing this situation, I feel that it is almost impossible to liberate the whole country, so what are these three key battles? In a nutshell, it is the breakthrough battle of the Central Plains, the great victory of the Soviet Union and China, and the battle of Dingtao.
The breakout battle of the Central Plains occurred at the beginning of the Liberation War, after Chiang Kai-shek tore up the armistice agreement, he mobilized 300,000 troops to besiege the Central Plains, at that time Liu Zhi led the ** to carry out this mission, and he soon surrounded our army, and even said that he would wipe out all our troops in the Central Plains within one day.
In order to be able to solve our army as soon as possible, the Kuomintang also sent artillery to fight together and carried out continuous artillery bombardment of our base areas, and the war in the Central Plains was very difficult at that time, and soon our army was in a predicament. At this critical moment, ** immediately announced that the troops in the Central Plains should quickly break through the encirclement, regardless of everything just to preserve the living forces.
With the order of **, the troops of the Central Plains Military Region began to break through in two directions in the north-south direction. The generals in charge of these two troops are *** and **. Because he has commanded many battles, his military command ability is very good, and he can quickly come up with countermeasures in the face of unexpected situations, so when leading the troops to break through, he is not afraid of the enemy's various encirclements, and finally successfully escapes from the enemy's encirclement.
* led the right wing troops to break through the siege encountered more difficulties, experienced several major battles, but still did not break out of the enemy's encirclement, ** in order to save more strength, he ordered the troops to disband, all changed into civilian clothes, so as not to be discovered by the enemy, ** in order to buy more time for the soldiers, he took the rest of the troops to fight with the enemy bloodily, in ** and the efforts of everyone, and finally let the main force retreat smoothly.
The breakthrough of the Central Plains has preserved a lot of vital strength for our army and laid a solid foundation for our army's future construction and battles. This was a crucial battle in the War of Liberation. The other is the Soviet-Chinese Campaign, which was fought by Su Yu with the Central China Field Army, although the enemy was also very strong, and the Central China Field Army faced many difficulties in the course of the operation, but in the end it won the victory under the command of Su Yu, opening up a new situation for our army's subsequent war situation.
The last one is the Battle of Dingtao, which is a movement operation that took place in southwest Lu, this battle was commanded by ***, the enemy's best equipment in the battle was strong, and the strength reached more than 300,000, while our army only had more than 50,000 people, it can be said that there is a big gap in strength.
In spite of this, the enemy's battle line was relatively long, so that their logistics could not keep up, and in addition, our army adopted a mobile war to directly divide and destroy the enemy, even if the enemy's troops were large, they would eventually become the contents of our army, and this battle was an accumulation of experience for our army, and at the same time, it also completely changed the situation of the war of liberation.
In these three battles, our army won victories, and wiped out more than half of the enemy's living forces, and also dealt a blow to the enemy's arrogance, laying the foundation for the later victory of the Liberation War, and at the same time increasing the morale of our army, and more confident in winning the Kuomintang in the subsequent battles, otherwise how could it be said that it is not far from the liberation of the whole country, these achievements are the result of the efforts of the soldiers.
