As we all know, Chairman Mao's articles on the elderly family are the most popular in the world. His articles seem to be imaginative, laughing and scolding eclectic, but in fact, they are logical and rigorous, in-depth and simple, and three points into the wood. Chairman Mao's old man's articles not only stood the test of time, but are still deafening to read to this day, and sometimes a piece of paper can retreat 100,000 troops from the enemy.
Before the Battle of Pingjin, Fu Zuoyi and Chiang Kai-shek plotted to take advantage of the fact that the Jin-Cha-Ji Field Army was divided and the troops in the central Hebei region were empty, and sent troops to sneak into Xibaipo and carry out "beheading operations." After this plan was discovered by our army, Chairman Mao's elderly family, while organizing the local armed forces in Jizhong to take urgent action and dispatching some field columns to quickly return to help, wrote a majestic article and announced it to the world through the Xinhua Radio Station, so that Fu Zuoyi, who was already "uncertain in five elements," was terrified, and the vigorous "decapitation operation" became a tiger's head and tail, and it ended without any disease.
This story, I believe readers have long been familiar with. But in fact, before that, in 1943, Chairman Mao's old man had successfully used articles to scare off 100,000 enemy troops. Only that the enemy general that time was not Fu Zuoyi, but Hu Zongnan, who was known as the "King of the Northwest".
After the all-out War of Resistance entered a stalemate, Hu Zongnan was ordered to lead his troops to garrison Guanzhong for a long time. Named Shoutong Pass, the main task is to blockade the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningxia Border Region, prevent progressive young people from defecting to Yan'an, and be ready to attack the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningxia Border Region at any time depending on changes in the domestic and international situation.
In May 1943, the Comintern was dissolved, and Chiang Kai-shek felt that the opportunity to turn the other cheek with the CCP had come. The Kuomintang's propaganda machine was at full swing, clamoring that since the Comintern had been dissolved, there should be no cloud of clouds in the CCP, which was the branch of the Comintern. On June 13, Chiang Kai-shek sent a telegram to Hu Zongnan, asking him to draw up a battle plan for capturing the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningxia Border Region in one fell swoop.
On June 18, Hu Zongnan held a military conference in Luochuan, transferred two armies stationed on the Yellow River to the vicinity of the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningxia Border Region, and planned to launch an offensive on July 28, first capturing the five counties of Chunhua, Liyi, Zhengning, Ningxian and Zhenyuan in the Guanzhong Sub-district, and then continuing north.
However, this top-secret plan, which Hu Zongnan thought was seamless, was soon detected by the heroes on the secret front of our army. While making the necessary contingency preparations, our army decided to preemptively launch a public opinion war in an effort to stop the military adventures of Chiang Kai-shek and Hu Zongnan.
On July 12, Yan'an's Liberation Daily published an editorial written by Chairman Mao's elderly man himself, "Questioning the Kuomintang." The article first disclosed to the outside world the fact that the Kuomintang had transferred two group armies away from the Yellow River defense and prepared to attack the border areas, and then raised sharp questions to the Kuomintang:
"What is the relationship between these Kuomintang and the Japanese?"
"Is it not better to withdraw the main force of river defense than to strengthen the War of Resistance?" Is attacking the border areas called strengthening unity? ”
"If you discard a large section of the river defense, and the Japanese still quietly look at the opposite bank, just holding the telescope and gleefully watching your back as you go farther and farther away, what is the reason for this?"
The editorial went on to criticize the Kuomintang's accusations against the CCP for "undermining the War of Resistance," "undermining unity," and the so-called "feudal division," with the article saying:
"The two stories of 'sandpipers and clams holding each other, fishermen delimited', 'praying mantises catching cicadas, yellow finches behind' make sense. You should work with us to unify the places occupied by Japan and drive out the devils, so why rush to 'reunify' this palm-sized border area? Great rivers and mountains, lost to the enemy, you are not in a hurry, you are not busy, but you are anxious to attack the border areas, busy with civil war, but the pain is also a husband! Shame on you! ”
At this point, the Article puts the Kuomintang in the position of "passive resistance to Japan and active anti-communism." Then, the editorial accused the "people who were specifically anti-communist" in the Kuomintang of being The "Fifth Column" of Japan, saying and doing exactly the same thing as the enemy's traitors, without any difference. The editorial demanded that Chiang Kai-shek order the withdrawal of Hu Zongnan's army to the river defenses, and also called on the patriotic Kuomintang to take action to stop the civil war crisis.
After the publication of Chairman Mao's old man's article, it aroused great concern in the United States. At that time, the United States was fighting with Japan in the Pacific, and the Japanese army was still in the initiative on the Indian-Burmese battlefield. The United States urgently needed China to delay the japanese invasion of China and prevent it from reinforcing other battlefields, so Marshall immediately sent a note to Song Ziwen, saying: "At a time when our allies are responding to Japan with all their might, if the report is true, we can really be anxious, can we try to avoid such a thing?" ”
At that time, the National Government was economically supported by US aid, and militarily it was counting on US aid. The so-called eating people's mouth is short, and taking people is soft. If the United States were to really cut off its economic and military assistance to China in a fit of rage, the Nationalist Government would never be able to eat it. Taking a step back, if the opinion of "changing horses" in the US decision-making circle is allowed to prevail, this is also something that Chiang Kai-shek will never be able to resist.
Therefore, Chiang Kai-shek can not care about domestic public opinion and ignore the Position of the Soviet Union, but the face of the Yankees is absolutely dare not slack. Coupled with the early exposure of the military offensive plan, the suddenness of the attack had been lost, so Chiang Kai-shek had to make Hu Zongnan shelve the offensive plan.
Although the Kuomintang did not stop its propaganda attacks, and the Kuomintang and the Communists continued to fight ink and ink lawsuits in and out, a serious civil war crisis was finally avoided. Among them, Chairman Mao's old man's article can be said to be indispensable.
