On September 10, 1948, the Northeast Field Army decided on the initial deployment of the southern Beining line according to the operational policy of the Liaoshen campaign formulated by the leader of Mao: The 3rd, 4th, 7th, 8th, 9th and 11th columns, artillery columns and the 2nd Corps will command 3 independent divisions, artillery brigades and cavalry divisions in the Jichare-Liao military area to encircle and annihilate the isolated strongholds in Yi County and the Jinzhou to Tangsan section of the Beining line, and seize Jinzhou, Jinxi and Shanhaiguan. The 1st, 2nd and 10th columns will be stationed near Xinmin, and they will work together to wipe out the breakouts of the Kuomingtang army in Changchun at any time, or wipe out the Kuomingtang army that is coordinating with the north from Shengyang, cover the battle on the Beining Line, and strengthen the combat strength of the Beining Line at any time. The 6th and 12th columns near Changchun and the 5th column and 6 independent divisions near Kaiyuan will annihilate the break-out of the Changchun Guomindang Army and prevent the Shengyang Guomindang Army from coming out to help or the Changchun Guomindang Army from breaking out. If there is no sign of the Changchun garrison breaking out, they can go south to Jinzhou to prepare for reinforcements.
From September 10th to 13th, each column set off to the designated location according to the adjusted plan. Most of them were on foot, while the rest were transported by train.
On the open and semi-desert railway in the north of Zhangwu, a special car was driving. This place was called Gan Qichang, three miles away from Zhangwu.
This was the private car of the Northeast Field Army's commander and political commissioner Luo Rongheng. At this moment, the Tang army and Luo Rongheng took their command organization to take this special car and headed to the front line of Jinzhou. ** Luo Rongheng and Liu Yalou, the chief of staff, got up early because of air defense. The three of them all went to the back of the car, which was also their office on the train.
Liu Yalou leaned against the window of the observation car, holding a cup of freshly brewed tea in his hand.""Wei Lihuang must have seen through our plan. Otherwise, he wouldn't have sent a plane to harass us.”After saying that, he blew on the hot tea.
"Not only do they know about our plan, but they will soon know where we are going to strike them.”** he drawled as he sat grimly at the long dining table, still wearing the same autumn suit he had worn at the Siping front line-a grass-green khaki military uniform. "Therefore, this traffic line, especially the Wangfeng Iron Bridge in front, is our blood transfusion tube from Haerbin to the front line. We must pay special attention to strengthening the defense.”he added.
"I've told the Artillery Command to send two more anti-aircraft companies to reinforce the defense.”Liu Yalou replied.
Luo Rong sat across from him and reminded him,"We also need to tell the logistics department to prepare a second transportation route. If the Wang Feng Iron Bridge is destroyed, it will be troublesome to send the goods to the front line from Ha 'erbin.”
Liu Yalou replied,"Yehou (Field Army Logistics Department) has already sent a car to explore the road. The only difficulty is to pass through a desert. I received their report last night. On one hand, they are actively repairing the road, and on the other hand, they are preparing camels.”
"That's good," said the police officer."We must always think of the worst."”
In front of the train, Wang Feng's iron bridge lay quietly on the river. The soldiers sat vigilantly in the anti-aircraft artillery positions on the iron bridge, staring at the sky without blinking.
Further ahead was the Inner Mongolia desert southwest of Tongliao.Tens of thousands of migrant workers were repairing the road from Tongliao-Beipiao.
As the wheels rolled, the police and Luo Rong continued their conversation in the office on the train. Luo Rongheng raised his hand and was about to say something when Liu Yalou strode over and said to the police and Luo Rongheng,"The enemy has turned around again. Should we stop the car and go down to hide?”
Before the police and Luo Rongheng could reply, the anti-aircraft gun on the train fired. ** He told Liu Yalou calmly," Tell the driver to back off and then drive forward. You have been in the Soviets and Turks battlefield, so you know this secret."”
"I understand this old method of the Soviets to deal with Hitlers during wartime.”Liu Yalou nodded and smiled.
The police said,"This is also called catching them off guard. The plane is flying left and right in the sky, one in front and one behind. It has to go in circles." If it goes around in circles, we'll be free.”** After saying that, he smiled. Luo Rongheng also smiled. They didn't even move their chairs.
The train began to reverse, but the enemy plane continued to fly forward. After the anti-aircraft gun sent it a few times, it stopped. When the enemy noticed that it was flying back from the south, the train changed its speed again, as if playing hide-and-seek with it. Then, the train entered Ganqika. At this moment, the sandstorm became even stronger, and the entire station was submerged in the sandstorm. The train was prepared to add coal, water, and air defense here. Seizing this opportunity, the officers got off the bus and prepared to go to the village east of the station to rest. The radio station was also temporarily moved to the village to work.
