Siping Liberation Campaign:

In the liberation war, Siping was called the "Battle of Madrid in the East". Comrade Mao Zedong, when commanding the Battle of Siping, once ordered Lin Biao to "turn Siping into Madrid". This is the most bitter contest between the two parties in the northeast battlefield. In the end, with the glory of four wars and Siping, a heroic city was built and Siping was returned to the hands of the people. ? The four battles in Siping took less than two years from the beginning of World War I to the end of World War IV. In such a short period of time, the reason why the PLA and the Kuomintang troops fought frequently in Siping was determined by the international and domestic political situation at that time and the principles and policies of both sides towards the Northeast. One of the most important factors is Siping's strategic position in the whole Northeast as "the gateway to Kanto and the thoroughfare of Kyushu".

Siping is located in the hinterland of Songliao Plain in Northeast China, with long and long railway lines, Pingmei railway line and Pingqi railway line. It is a transportation hub extending in all directions, and the urban and rural market trade is relatively active. There are well-known grain-producing cities and counties such as Gongzhuling (formerly Huaide County) and Lishu in the vicinity of Siping City, so Siping is also a famous grain distribution center. These conditions made Siping an important military place for military strategists to compete for in the war years.

the liberation of Siping has played an important role in further large-scale operations between the Northeast People's Liberation Army and the Kuomintang army, and in the operation of troops and military supplies. At the same time, it also dismantled the important springboard from Shenyang to Changchun of the Kuomintang army, leaving it in a situation where it could not take care of each other.
