Siege of Changchun (1948)
On the Chinese Revolution map as “The siege of Changchun”
Jun–Oct 1948 — Lin Biao starves the trapped garrison out: civilians who try to leave are long refused passage through the lines, and famine kills of the order of 150,000 people. The city surrenders without an assault. A victory of the war’s cruelest kind — named here as memory, not triumph.
