Overview of scenic spots

The Siping Campaign Memorial Hall was opened on March 13, 2008, with an exhibition area of 3100 square meters. Siping is located in the middle of the Northeast Plain. Three railways, namely Zhongchang railway, pingqi railway and Simei railway, run through Siping, making Siping a transportation hub for all sides and a strategic place for military strategists. During the Northeast liberation war from 1946 to 1948, the Kuomintang and the Communist Party fought for Siping four times. Siping changed his hand in the earth shaking artillery fire and blood splash, which became a bright spot on the Northeast battlefield at that time. The Northeast Democratic Alliance led by the Communist Party of China won the final victory of the Siping war at the cost of more than 40000 casualties, including nearly 20000. They wrote the history of the four wars and Siping with their blood and life, making it a famous historical piece of the land of Kanto.

War history Hall

This part of the exhibition is the main part of the historical exhibition of the four wars and four plains. It includes two parts: the current situation before the war and the history of the war. It shows the historical panorama of the four wars and four draws in detail.

Pre war situation

（1945.8—1946.2）

On August 9, 1945, the Soviet government declared war on Japan, and on August 15, the Japanese government declared surrender. Since then, because of its important geographical location, superior economic conditions and outstanding military and political values, Northeast China has become the focus of attention of the United States, the Soviet Union and the Communist Party.

War History

（1946.3—1948.3）

In the hesitation of peace and war, history entered 1946. In March of this year, due to the withdrawal of the Soviet troops in the northeast, the Northeast dispute lost diplomatic checks and balances, and a new round of military conflicts broke out between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party. From south to north, the war finally spread to Siping Street, which is the throat of Northeast China, and became the death knot of the war here. In the following two years, Siping Street was visited four times by the war. The city experienced the baptism of bathing in blood and fire, so it is well known to the Chinese people.

Siping Liberation War

（1946.3.15—3.17）

This is a quick, local, small-scale, but strategically important urban battle. On March 17, 1946, the Northeast Democratic Alliance Army made a quick decision with 6000 troops, totally annihilated 3000 local security forces of the Kuomintang in northern Liaoning Province stationed in Siping, and seized Siping Street, a strategic place connecting the East, West, North and South Manchu, by taking advantage of the three railways of Yichang, pingqi and simiei before the Kuomintang troops went northward. This is called "one war, four draws"
