One victory after another in the war of liberation
The foundation of victory depends on the people's hearts.
■ Wang Shuzeng
1945 After the Anti-Japanese War, Chiang Kai-shek had more than 4.3 million well-equipped regular troops. At this time, the people's army led by China's * * * production party was only 1.27 million even counting the tens of thousands of people who had just developed in the northeast. Many of these troops belong to militia, and their weapons are still broadswords and spears; Even if it belongs to the main force of the regular army, light weapons are very crude and heavy weapons are seriously lacking. Moreover, this is a pure army unit, and most officers and men have never even seen warships and fighter planes.
The war of liberation broke out on1June 26th, 946.
China People's Liberation Army occupied Nanking on April 23rd, 1949.
In just three years, what led to the final outcome of the war of liberation?
After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, senior Kuomintang military and political officials were busy "receiving" property in the city, and at this time, the word "people" was the most frequently heard in Yan 'an.
With the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, "acceptance" became the core content of the bureaucratic class built by the Kuomintang regime to regain power. Unprecedented misappropriation and misappropriation of assets began-"The takeover turned into a scuffle for loot, and all different government agencies were given the right to accept enemy property without central supervision, and their behavior was like aggression against the people." During the Anti-Japanese War, Wedemayer, Chief of Staff of China Theater, was entrusted by President Truman to visit China again in July 1946, which provided the decision-making basis for the US government to continue to assist the Kuomintang regime. Wedemayer's speech before leaving China shocked senior officials of the Kuomintang: "... I found that many government officials placed their brothers, sons and nephews in the government, worked in state-owned or private companies, and used their power to make huge profits, regardless of the well-being of the country and the people ..." Wedemayer's evaluation of Kuomintang government officials was: "Most people are particularly greedy, incompetent or both."
* * * party member and their army are a group of idealists with special beliefs and personalities. 1946 In March, Marshall, the special envoy of the US President, visited Yan 'an. His accompanying reporter described the political center of the * * * production party as follows: "In Yan 'an, party cadres worked long hours and ate poorly, and in winter they were reduced to two meals a day, mainly eating millet and vegetables. They are in caves, sitting on wooden chairs or stools, and working under the dim light of small oil lamps. However, even when the enemy is about to invade on a large scale, they don't seem to be tired ... They have tested all their theories and applied them to the primitive rural areas of China and the daily life of farmers. They feel as carefree as at home. The word I often hear in Yan 'an is "people" ... What about the people of China and the people of the world? "Go to the people" and "learn from the people" are slogans, but they contain deeper meanings than slogans and represent a deep feeling and a final belief. "
Menglianggu Campaign
For a society, fairness is always the basic standard for people to measure whether the political power is reasonable. China party member's political ideal is what people with lofty ideals in China have been pursuing since modern times, that is, to create a democratic, free and just new China. Therefore, party member's political appeal of "the interests of the greatest number of people" has been recognized and supported by the largest social class in China.
Who are the most suffering people in China?
They are farmers who account for more than two thirds of the total population.
Just as senior Kuomintang military and political officials were busy "receiving" property in the city, the slogan put forward by the producers of * * * was "All cadres who may go to the countryside should go to the countryside". Historical facts also prove that the large-scale land reform initiated by * * * producers from the northeast played a decisive role in the victory of the war of liberation. During the period of 1947, the People's Army targeted Yuncheng, Shanxi Province, and launched a storm for half a year in the 8th and 2nd columns. People around Yuncheng were responsible for transporting grain and the wounded. I heard that the siege troops needed wood, and every household took off the door panels and sent them to the battlefield. According to post-war statistics, there are 6.5438+0.7 million door panels sent by the people before and after the war! Do you call it home without a door panel? However, the people are willing!
What is "the factor that overturns the orthodox military formula"
In the War of Liberation, those who were regarded as "unprecedented shame" by Chiang Kai-shek all graduated from Huangpu and participated in the Anti-Japanese War, honoring him as the front-line general of the principal, and once their troops surrendered, it was tens of thousands. The Liaoshen campaign captured 305,600 regular Kuomintang troops, and there was not enough time to identify them. The people's liberation army simply set up a door with tree trunks in the wilderness, called "liberation gate" Grass-roots officers and men who are willing to join the People's Liberation Army will be liberated as long as they go to the door. They will be welcomed as comrades-in-arms immediately and then devoted to the cause of people's liberation. In the War of Liberation, most of the Kuomintang troops who defected and surrendered on the scale of Israeli troops and divisions became the main force of the People's Liberation Army after political education and tempering of will, so that soldiers known as "liberation fighters" reached an incredible proportion in some units of the People's Liberation Army in the later period of the war, and some even reached about 80%.
In the War of Liberation, the logistics supply of Kuomintang troops basically depended on airdrops in the later period of the war, which cost huge financial resources and had little effect. On the same battlefield, the * * * party army is a different story. 1948 10 northeast field army 10 stopped Liao Yaoxiang corps in Montenegro. In three days, people around the battlefield, regardless of gender, old and young, went back and forth more than 900 times and sent more than 2,000 kilograms of dry food. According to post-war statistics, more than 400 people died in Xiawan Village alone, and they were buried with the PLA officers and men who died on the battlefield. Throughout the Huaihai Campaign, nearly 600,000 combat officers and men were behind more than 5 million former civilians. Almost every bullet, shell and grain on the battlefield comes from people who transport them day and night. All officers and men in combat know that once they are injured or even killed, the people will transport them to the battlefield and cover them with their own quilts.
This advantage of * * * party member was regarded by foreign journalists as "greatly offsetting" the equipment superiority of the Kuomintang army at the beginning of the war, and even "the factor that overthrew the orthodox military formula" became "a huge unknown in the military formula".
What is the will of the people?
It represents and strives for the interests of the people.
People have a steelyard in their hearts.
Hundreds of thousands of officers and men who died in the war of liberation, and tens of millions of people who marched wave after wave in the war, are willing to go to the battlefield for the dream of a new China, even if they are shattered!
What is New China like?
In a letter to his daughter, a general of the People's Army said, "Let dads level the foundation of new democracy and let your descendants build a free, happy, civilized, progressive, solemn and gorgeous world on our land."
