Full Record of "The First Battle of Crossing the Sea" (1)
Since the Liaoshen Campaign in 1948, the Kuomintang army was defeated in big battles, defeated in small battles, and was unbeaten in no battles. As the "president" and commander-in-chief of the three armed forces, Chiang Kai-shek was certainly to blame. * * * The martial arts of the production party and the literary struggle of the Kuomintang all pointed their finger at him, and the Americans didn't like him, so Chiang Kai-shek played his old trick of "electrifying the opposition".
This is Chiang Kai-shek's usual trick to retreat for progress. In 1927 and 1931, Chiang Kai-shek went out of power twice and returned to the scenic hometown of Fenghua Xikou to cultivate his body and mind and strategize, and soon made a comeback. Xikou is not only the hometown of his heart, but also his political blessing and geomantic treasure.
But this time it's different. Chiang Kai-shek feels that the tide has gone, thinking that this is probably the last Spring Festival he spent in his hometown, so he cherishes it very much. After rushing to Taiwan, Chiang Kai-shek never set foot on his homeland again. On the Lunar New Year's Eve, Chiang Kai-shek's homesickness is at its peak. In his diary, he often expresses his yearning for his native land ...
On New Year's Eve, he and his children and grandchildren had a reunion in their ancestral home to drink Tu Su wine, eat New Year's Eve and set off firecrackers. According to Jiang Jingguo's diary, "On January 28th, it coincided with the Lunar New Year's Eve, and the whole family was reunited in the newspaper hall (Fenghao Room). Those who came to Xikou for the New Year included Zhang Qun and Chen Lifu, important members of the Kuomintang. "
all the villagers in 5 miles of Fiona Fang, Xikou, rushed to Xikou town to wish the Chiang family a happy New Year. In Fenghua countryside, dragon lanterns and stilts are fashionable every New Year's holiday, which is very lively.
On this evening, Chiang Kai-shek also held a New Year's Eve banquet in the auditorium of Wuling School, in order to comfort the officers above the regiment level of the Guard Corps stationed in Xikou, Zhejiang Province. After congratulating everyone on the Spring Festival, he said with tears in his eyes: "Ladies and gentlemen, a poor family makes a dutiful son, but it is difficult for the country to make a good general. The fate of the party and state 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 took a lot of trouble from all over the country and came to us. This is the most rare thing! "
The joyful atmosphere of the Chinese New Year can't suppress the sorrow of the disintegration of the Chiang family dynasty. When he left his hometown, Jiang Jingguo wrote in his diary: "Great rivers and mountains, almost no place to stand! Moreover, Xikou is where the ancestor Lu's tomb is located. Once it is said goodbye, its deep feelings are more than words can describe. Who did it? "
This is the epitome of the last Spring Festival spent by Jiang's father and son in the mainland, which is really sad to the extreme.
In sharp contrast, Huishan Village, Xinchang, which is less than 1 kilometers away from Xikou, is a different scene. Nearly a thousand revolutionary armed forces in eastern Zhejiang gathered here, and the second meeting of the East Zhejiang Committee, the head organ of the East Zhejiang Party Organization, was successfully concluded, and the second guerrilla column of the People's Liberation Army in eastern Zhejiang was officially established.
On this New Year's Eve dinner, representatives of various armies toasted each other, entertained the party, and performed the Peking Opera "Catch and Release Cao", one after another, which didn't end 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 was the "Iron Horse Army". The first-class carbine class was followed by the yangko team, which made the people happy and the children followed.
The condolence performance of "De Du Ban" has been performed for three days in a row. In the once silent mountain village, red flags are flying, gongs and drums are loud, people are coming and going, and people are laughing. The most attractive person is a program performed by a soldier posing as a Kuomintang soldier, called "Chiang Kai-shek's New Year". I saw him holding a cane in his left hand and 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 food for the New Year. What three kinds do you want to ask, green vegetables, radish and Chili sauce? This year, I am going to collapse. Do you want a bowl of tofu residue? "
the audience burst into laughter.
At that time, thousands of troops made public appearances with great fanfare and got together with ordinary 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 "Double Tenth Agreement" reached by the two sides, from September 3, 1945, the main force of the New Fourth Army in eastern Zhejiang, more than 1, guerrilla columns in eastern Zhejiang, and more than 5, party and government organs and local staff, tearfully bid farewell to the blood-and-blood villagers and began to withdraw north to northern Jiangsu.
in the following years, the Kuomintang launched a large-scale "clean-up" in an attempt to wipe out the revolutionary forces in eastern Zhejiang. Party organizations that persisted in the struggle waged a hard struggle against "clean-up", and once changed the party committee system into a special commissioner system, hiding and being capable, lying in ambush for a long time, accumulating strength and waiting for opportunities, thus maintaining 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, the eastern part of Zhejiang province has a unified military leadership, forming the main force in the eastern part of Zhejiang province, which has 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 meet up with the troops, on February 1th, the column took Tiantai County for the first battle, which dealt a heavy blow to the enemy. An American news agency exclaimed, "The Red Guerrillas living in the coastal area of China occupied Tiantai County, 9 kilometers away from Chiang Kai-shek's hometown".
on the 11th, after withdrawing from Tiantai county, the troops marched eastward and successfully liberated Sanmen county on February 17th. Since then, Sanmen County has been under the control of the * * * production party and guerrillas, becoming the first liberated county in Zhejiang Province.
this is really "a cup of wine for a thousand years, with different tastes!" " After 28 years of struggle, the * * * Party members have experienced countless sacrifices and finally looked forward to the dawn of victory. When they are proud, everyone is full of joy and high morale.
Just as the revolutionary climax described by Mao Zedong in poetic language in "A single spark can start a prairie fire" in 193 has arrived: "It's a ship standing on the coast and looking out into the sea, and it's a shining morning sun standing on the top of a high mountain and looking out at the east, and it's a nearly mature baby restless in its mother's womb."
The first battle across the sea was born in such a revolutionary climax!
