Since 1948 Liaoshen Campaign, the Kuomintang troops have been defeated in big battles, defeated in small battles, and were unbeaten without fighting. It was also hit hard by the Pingjin Campaign and the Huaihai Campaign. As the "president" and commander-in-chief of the three armed forces, Chiang Kai-shek is certainly to blame. * * * The martial arts of the production party and the literary struggle of the Kuomintang all pointed the finger at him. Americans didn't like him, so Chiang Kai-shek played the old trick of "electrocuting the opposition".
This is Chiang Kai-shek's usual trick of retreating for progress. 1927 and 193 1 year, Chiang Kai-shek also stepped down twice and returned to his scenic hometown of Fenghua Xikou to recuperate and strategize, and soon made a comeback. Xikou is not only his hometown, but also his political blessing and geomantic treasure.
But this time is different. Chiang Kai-shek felt that the tide had gone, thinking that this was probably the last Spring Festival he spent in his hometown, so he cherished it very much. After Chiang Kai-shek arrived in Taiwan Province, he never set foot on his homeland again. On Chinese New Year's Eve, Chiang Kai-shek's homesickness reached its peak. In his diary, he often expresses his thoughts about his hometown. ...
On New Year's Eve, he and his grandchildren were reunited in their ancestral home, drinking Tu Su wine, eating New Year's Eve and setting off firecrackers. According to Jiang Jingguo's diary, "65438+1October 28th coincides with Lunar New Year's Eve, and the whole family is reunited in the newspaper office (Fenghao Room). Zhang Qun and Chen Lifu, important figures of the Kuomintang, came to Xikou for the New Year. "
All the villagers 50 miles away from Fiona Fang, Xikou, rushed to Xikou Town to pay New Year greetings to the Chiang family. In Fenghua rural areas, dragon lantern stilts are very fashionable and lively every Chinese New Year holiday.
That night, Chiang Kai-shek also held a New Year's Eve banquet in the auditorium of Wuling School to comfort the officers of the security forces at or above the regimental level stationed in Xikou, Zhejiang. Congratulations to everyone. After the Spring Festival, he said with tears in his eyes: "Ladies and gentlemen, the family is poor and filial, and it is difficult for the country to produce a good soldier. The fate of the party and the country is related to your honor and disgrace and the livelihood of the people! It is not unusual for others to follow us when we go uphill; And when we went downhill, you came to us from all over the country. This is the most rare thing! "
The joyful atmosphere of the Chinese New Year can't suppress the grief of the disintegration of the Chiang family dynasty. When he left his hometown, Jiang Jingguo wrote in his diary: "Great rivers and mountains have almost no place to stand! Moreover, Xikou is the location of Luzu Tomb. Once it is said goodbye, its affection can't be described in words. Who did it? "
This is the epitome of the last Spring Festival that Jiang and his son spent in the mainland, which is really sad to the extreme.
In sharp contrast, it is a different scene of Huishan Village in Xinchang, which is less than100km away from Xikou. Nearly a thousand revolutionary armed forces in eastern Zhejiang gathered here, the second meeting of the Eastern Zhejiang Committee, the leading organ of the Eastern Zhejiang Party Organization, was successfully concluded, and the Second Guerrilla Column of the People's Liberation Army in Eastern Zhejiang was formally established.
On this New Year's Eve, representatives of various armies toasted each other, entertained the party, and performed the Peking Opera "Catch and Release Cao", one after another, until late at night. On the first day of New Year's Day, all the troops held group worship activities. The most beautiful group worship is the "Iron Horse Army". The first-class carbine class is followed by the yangko team, which makes the people happy and the children happy.
The "Du Ban" condolence performance lasted for three consecutive days. In the once silent mountain village, red flags fluttered, gongs and drums roared, people came and went, laughing and laughing. The most attractive thing is a program performed by a soldier posing as a Kuomintang soldier, called "Chiang Kai-shek's New Year". I saw him leaning on a crutch in his left hand and holding a broken bowl in his right hand, singing: "The year before last, the national army attacked, and I ate squid and sea cucumber for the New Year. Last year, the national army was defeated, and I ate three kinds of fried foods for the New Year. Which three kinds of green vegetables, radish and Chili sauce do you want to ask? This year, I'm going to collapse. Do you want a bowl of bean curd residue? "
The audience burst into laughter.
At that time, thousands of troops appeared in public with great fanfare and became one with the people, which was unprecedented in guerrilla warfare in previous years.
Such joy and excitement are hard to come by. For the sake of the overall situation of the country, according to the "October 10th Agreement" reached by both sides, from September 30th, more than 5000 people, including the main force of the New Fourth Army in East Zhejiang 1945, the guerrilla column in East Zhejiang 10000, and more than 5000 party and government organs and local staff, tearfully bid farewell to the villagers linked by flesh and blood and began to retreat to the north of northern Jiangsu.
In the following years, the Kuomintang launched a large-scale "mopping up" in an attempt to destroy the revolutionary forces in eastern Zhejiang. Party organizations that persisted in the struggle waged a hard struggle against "elimination", and at one time changed the system of party committees to the system of special commissioners, hiding but capable, laying in ambush for a long time, accumulating strength and waiting for opportunities, thus safeguarding the party's banner and preserving its effective strength. By the end of 1948, the guerrilla base areas in eastern Zhejiang had been continuously consolidated, forming a situation in which rural areas surrounded cities, creating favorable conditions for the liberation of Ningbo.
From then on, eastern Zhejiang had unified military leadership and formed the main force of eastern Zhejiang, which effectively cooperated with the People's Liberation Army in the frontal battlefield and crossing the river to the south.
After returning to the mountain to join forces, on February 10, the column took Tiantai county in the first battle and dealt a heavy blow to the enemy. An American news agency exclaimed: "The red guerrillas active in China Binhai occupied Tiantai County, 90 kilometers away from Chiang Kai-shek's hometown."
1 1 day, after the troops withdrew from Tiantai county, they moved eastward and successfully liberated Sanmen county on February 17. Since then, Sanmen County has been controlled by the * * * production party and guerrillas, becoming the first liberated county in Zhejiang Province.
This is really "a glass of wine throughout the ages, each with its own taste!" After 28 years of struggle, * * * party member experienced countless sacrifices and finally looked forward to the dawn of victory. When they are proud, everyone is full of joy and high morale.
As 1930, the revolutionary climax described by Mao Zedong in poetic language in "A single spark can start a prairie fire" has arrived: "It is a ship standing on the coast overlooking the sea, a rising sun shining in the east from the top of the mountain, and a baby about to mature."
The first sea crossing campaign was born in such a revolutionary climax!
