On July 24th, People's Daily published an editorial "The Glorious Task of the People's Liberation Army", pointing out that the task of the People's Liberation Army is to defend socialist construction, prevent imperialist aggression, eliminate the remnants of Chiang Kai-shek and liberate Taiwan Province Province.
At this time, the central government has decided to liberate and recapture the southeast coastal islands, including Chenta Island and Yijiangshan Island, and continue to fight fiercely with the enemy in the southeast coastal areas, thus completely bankrupt Chiang Kai-shek's plot to counterattack the mainland!
Prior to this, due to the liberation of Chinese mainland, the defeated troops of the Kuomintang army fled in succession, and some of them retreated to the offshore islands in eastern Zhejiang for a life-and-death battle, thus confronting the Chinese People's Liberation Army across the sea.
Although the strength of the Kuomintang troops in the coastal areas is very limited, they are well-intentioned and try to rely on Chen Da, Pishan, Yijiangshan and other islands to cover Taiwan Province Province, thus realizing their attempt to counterattack the mainland.
Yijiangshan Island is located in the East China Sea off Taizhou Bay, Zhejiang Province, and consists of two small islands, Nanjiang and Beijiang, with an area of 1.7 square kilometers. As Shangxiachenda Island is in the center of Taizhou Archipelago, and Yijiangshan Island is the outpost of Shangxiachenda Island, its geographical position is quite prominent.
Because the geographical position of Yijiangshan Island is very important and the terrain is dangerous, Taiwan Province Provincial Department pays more attention to it.
At that time, Kuomintang Defense Minister Yu Dayou said: Yijiangshan Island is the gateway of Chenda Island, and Chen Da is the barrier of Taiwan Province Province. If you don't protect one river, Chen Da and Chen Da, you will die!
In addition, Yu Dayou, together with American military advisers, made a special defensive deployment on Yijiangshan Island, with more than 1 100 defenders. The island has strong fortifications and strong firepower.
1in August, 953, when Mclynn Killman Liu, the former general of the 67th Kuomintang Army, arrived in Chenta Island to take over as commander-in-chief, there was a main division equipped with American-made machinery, six assault brigades, and 10 naval vessels with a total strength of more than 20,000 people in the southeast coastal islands of Zhejiang.
The enemy has formed a solid maritime defense system with Shangxiachenda Island as the core and Yijiangshan Island as the periphery. And take this as a base, constantly harassing my southeast coastal areas.
In addition, Chiang Kai-shek is also very concerned about the defense deployment of Chenta Island and Yijiangshan Island. He proposed that to defend Taiwan Province Province, we must first consolidate Chen Da; To defend Chen Da, we must ensure a Jiangshan Island, which shows how much Chiang Kai-shek values these two islands.
In order to defend the so-called "Gate of One Jiangshan Island", Chiang Kai-shek's wife, Song Meiling, visited the island on his behalf to express her condolences to the officers and men and to cheer up these reactionary forces. Jiang Jingguo, the son of Chiang Kai-shek, accompanied by Taiwan Province's Minister of National Defense, also visited Taiwan Province.
During the Geneva Conference, the China * * * Production Party and the China government expressed their determination to liberate Taiwan Province Province to the whole world through various channels, and the Kuomintang must not be allowed to go so crazy.
In this context, the PLA navy and air force gradually moved to the southeast coast, facing the island-guarding troops of the Kuomintang across the sea, and the elite field troops of the PLA gradually moved to the southeast coast, preparing to attack the enemies entrenched in the southeast coastal islands such as Chenda Island and Yijiangshan Island.
