Former Site of the Northeast Field Army's Jinzhou Frontline Command Post

The former site of the Northeast Field Army's Jinzhou Frontline Command Post is a cultural relics protection unit of Liaoning Province.

The former site of the Northeast Field Army's Jinzhou Frontline Command Post is located in Mangniutun, Cuiyan Township, Linghai City, approximately 20 kilometers from downtown Jinzhou. During the Liaoshen Campaign, this was where the Northeast Field Army’s Jinzhou Frontline Command Post was stationed. On October 5, 1948, Lin Biao, commander of the Northeast Field Army at the time, along with Political Commissar Luo Ronghuan and Chief of Staff Liu Yalou, led the command headquarters to secretly move from Shuangcheng Town in Heilongjiang Province to Mangniutun, where a simple “frontline command post” was established.

Following the instructions of the Central Military Commission and Chairman Mao, they directed eight major campaigns here: the Battle of Tashan, the Battle of Jinzhou, the Battle of Zhangwu-Xinlitun, the Battle of Heishan, the Liberation of Changchun, the Western Liaoning Encirclement and Annihilation Campaign, the Liberation of Shenyang, and the Liberation of Yingkou, until the victorious conclusion of the Liaoshen Campaign and the liberation of the entire Northeast region.
