Which one is more powerful, the Tashan Blockade or the Black Mountain Blockade?

From a strategic point of view, the Tashan Blockade was more powerful; from a tactical point of view, the Black Mountain Blockade performed better

Let’s analyze them one by one

1. The background at the time

Please note that the Tashan Blockade was to block the GMD eastward marching corps. Before the blockade started, Dongye was actually in a rather embarrassing situation: the troops were transferred to external operations

Jinzhou City has high walls and thick walls, and there are 100,000 defenders. Everyone is not sure whether it can be easily defeated.

At this time, the westward advancing corps came out of Shenyang and had cut off Zhangwu's logistics supply line, while the eastward advancing corps also began to attack Tashan.

This put a lot of pressure on Lin Biao, and also encouraged the defending troops. According to memoirs and war history records, at the distribution pond outside Jinzhou at that time, the national army's slogan for sweeping the land was "Transform this place. "For the Second Verdun", and they fought very resolutely. When the main offensive battalion of the 3rd column attacked the main position, there were only 6 people left, and all the cadres were killed or seriously injured

It can be seen that if at that time, If Tashan cannot be defended, it will inevitably trigger a chain reaction: the morale of the defenders in Jinzhou City will further increase, and the Liao Yaoxiang Corps marching westward will inevitably speed up its pace. In this case, the situation faced in three wars and four peacetimes will be repeated. Where will Dongye go?

At least the Liaoshen Campaign will not go so smoothly.

Looking back at the Black Mountain Blockade, Jinzhou and Changchun had changed hands at that time, and Liao Yaoxiang's regiment fell into tight encirclement. It can be said that even if the Liao Corps rushes through the Black Mountains, it will not escape the danger of destruction, but it will only happen sooner or later.

So, from a strategic point of view, the Tashan blockade was bigger

2. Tactical perspective

In fact, if we analyze it carefully, in the two blockades, , the national army all made the same mistake - the refueling tactic. In Tashan, they went into battle one by one. Even at the peak of the day, only 4 divisions were deployed.

In Montenegro, Liao Yaoxiang did not rush up his trump card New 22nd Division at the first time. The 71st Army and the 49th Army, which were crippled, also increased their troops one after another.

In terms of firepower, the two are actually equally matched. During the Tashan Blockade, the Navy mainly provided fire support, but the artillery caliber was small and the command was not unified. The Army's largest caliber support artillery is only the 105mm howitzer

During the Montenegro Blockade, the 155th Howitzer Regiment of the Liao Yaoxiang Corps went into battle, but the firepower was not very strong. Calculated, the firepower of the two blockades was about the same.

From a topographic point of view, Tashan has an advantage, with a narrow front and no way around the sides. It can only be a top-notch battle. The Montenegro area is relatively vast, and the 10th Column must consider the flanks and rear.

In terms of unit combat effectiveness, the 4th Column is one of the five main divisions in Dongye. The 10th Division defending Tashan is also good at defending among the 36 main divisions in Dongye. And famous. Although the 10th Column is senior (expanded from the original 359th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army), its combat style is not strong and it belongs to the second-rate rear troops.

It seems that the 10th Column has weak combat effectiveness and unfavorable terrain. Under such circumstances, the tactics of resisting Liao Yaoxiang's regiment were more brilliant
