The Liberation of Jinzhou: A Shocking History.
October 15, 1948, was a day destined to go down in history. The Northeast Field Army of the People's Liberation Army, hundreds of thousands of elites fought fiercely for several days and successfully conquered Jinzhou City, a key choke point. This important victory not only weakened the enemy's forces strategically, but also gave a great boost to the morale of our troops psychologically.
The news of the loss of Jinzhou City spread throughout the entire front in an instant, like a shocking historical bomb, which made the enemy suddenly fall into panic. And this earth-shattering moment also became a turning point in the history of warfare.
The impact of this victory did not stop at Jinzhou City, it spread like a ripple, changing the entire Northeast War. The defenders in Changchun City felt unprecedented pressure at this time. Since six months ago, they have been tightly surrounded, cut off from air and land transportation, and short of food and ammunition. The reinforcements that had been expected to be reinforced by Chiang Kai-shek's army to the north were now faced with the fact that the reinforcements were out of reach, Jinzhou was lost, the access to the customs was cut off, and all hope became dim.
At this critical moment, Zeng Zesheng, commander of the 60th Army of the Kuomintang Army, made an unexpected move. He went to the division headquarters and summoned officers above the battalion level for an unprecedented meeting. Commander Zeng was known for his loyalty to the party and Chiang Kai-shek in the past, but this time, he spoke out about the unfair treatment of Chiang Kai-shek and his descendants to the miscellaneous 60th Army of the Yunnan Army, which made the officers present unbelievable. This move was like a political **, which shook the entire war situation.
Zeng Zesheng did not make a decision on the spur of the moment, but after careful consideration. He announced that he would hand over this important policy decision to everyone for joint discussion, because it not only concerns him alone, but also has a bearing on the future and life and death of all officers and men.
At the meeting, some proposed to break out, and some proposed to hold on. The atmosphere was heavy and tense. However, a man in the last row stood up and shouted: "Breaking through the siege is a dead end, and defending is also a dead end, and we have long been indifferent to the Kuomintang regime to 'serve the country loyally'!" Therefore, I advocated an uprising, against Chiang Kai-shek, and defected to the Communist Party! This is our only way to live, and it is also the path of light! Commander Zeng immediately agreed: "Yes, this is a good way to go!" ”
This statement was quickly echoed by the officers, and everyone agreed. Under the leadership of Commander Zeng, more than 26,000 officers and soldiers of the 21st Division and 2nd Regiment of the provisional division announced a collective uprising, paving a new historical road for the liberation of Jinzhou.
This wave of awakening and rebellion spread throughout the 60th Army, and the other two divisions also expressed their willingness to participate in the uprising. More than 26,000 officers and soldiers of the 60th Army joined the tide and officially declared a collective uprising the next day, laying the foundation for the liberation of Changchun.
Changchun, which was originally in a desperate situation due to the lack of reinforcements and materials, has now ushered in liberation in this wave of awakening. This shocking history is not only a continuation of the liberation of Jinzhou, but also an important page in the Chinese Liberation War. In this depressing and tense moment, people saw a glimmer of light, and the magnificent chapter of Jinzhou's liberation was written without hesitation. This history not only brings hope to people, but also becomes a witness to the era, recording the unwavering faith of a group of people who fought for freedom. Let's look back on this period of history, think about that stormy era, and pay tribute to the heroic soldiers!
