美军认为:“The Fourth Field Army, commanded by Lin Piao, was the strongest, and its XIII Army Group included armies honored for past achievements with the title of “iron” troops. The Third Field Army,commanded by Chen Yi, was not particularly strong as a whole, but its IX Army Group included at least one army considered to be a crack unit.”
要说在解放战争那场席卷神州的烽火中,谁是最拉风的“火力王者”,那非炮兵莫属!反观三野这边,当时还不到100门,这差距,明眼人都能看出来,到后来,四野炮纵更是发展到了240多门重炮,三野这边150门,虽然也不少,但跟人家一比,还是差了那么一丢丢,更别说四野炮纵还有坦克、工兵这些“辅助职业”加持,那阵容,简直豪华到没朋友!
我问男友:四大野战军,谁最强?他说:这不好说,都很厉害。东北战场,一开始苏军不配合,但很快就大力武装东北民主联军,重装备是一车皮一车皮的送,东野80%以上重装备源于苏联援助,包括极其重要的卡车,坦克和火炮,所以东野最早成立特种兵纵队,东野一个军的火力配置,比华野一个兵团都多。
在解放战争中,我军在每个战略区都成了专门用于和国军进行决战的野战军,比如东北是东野(四野),华东和苏中就是陈粟的华野(三野),在中原则是刘邓的中野(二野)。而构成每个野战军基础战力的,便是其下辖的各大纵队。
