He who wins the hearts of the people wins the world; he who wins the heart of a gentleman wins the princes; he who wins the heart of the princes wins the masters
Although Sima Yi said that he was treacherous and usurped The world of Cao Wei, he was an expert in governing the country and the state, and the above is his heartfelt words of warning Sima Shi and Sima Zhao before his death. When a man is dying, his words are good, and Sima Yi can at least hold the people of the world in his heart.
Without the support of the people, no regime can go far. With the support of the people, the army can be as successful as a fish in the water when it starts a war, and it can get a full response in terms of military resources, intelligence, logistics support, etc., which is particularly prominent in the communist army.
Unicycle launch victory
The three major battles were strategic decisive battles fought by the Chinese People's Liberation Army and the Kuomintang army, laying the foundation for the victory of the People's Liberation War in the whole country.
In these three strategic decisive battles, the most dangerous and tragic was the Huaihai Campaign, whether it was troop strength, weapons and equipment, the Platon Army was behind the Kuomintang army, when the PLA 600,000 against the Kuomintang 800,000.
In the end, 600,000 won 800,000, which is inseparable from the support of the people. After the Battle of Huaihai, Marshal Chen Yi bluntly said that the victory in the Battle of Huaihai was pushed out by unicycles from his fellow villagers in Shandong.
According to statistics, a total of 5.43 million migrant workers were dispatched in the Huaihai Campaign. They served as transport teams, stretcher teams, health teams, and reserve troops, and the Kuomintang's 800,000 troops faced far more than Nakano and Huaye's 600,000 troops.
In the Huaihai Campaign, the 964 million kilograms of grain needed by the PLA troops were pushed to the front line by these migrant workers with wheelbarrows. There were also a large number of weapons and ammunition transported from north China to the Huaihai battlefield, and it was also these migrant workers who braved the bombing of enemy aircraft to push to the front.
According to the recollections of migrant workers at that time, the unicycle team was pulled far and far, and the tail could not be seen from the beginning. Although the migrant workers from all over the world did not know each other, but rushing to the goal of liberating all of China, everyone was enthusiastic, and in the face of enemy bombing, the first consideration was not their own safety, but the safety of food and ammunition, so countless migrant workers sacrificed on the road to support.
In the Battle of Huaihai, after 66 days of arduous fighting, the People's Liberation Army annihilated 555,000 Kuomintang troops at the cost of more than 110,000 casualties, basically liberating the Eastern China and Central Plains north of the Yangtze River, and laying a good foundation for the victory of the Battle of the Crossing River.
In fact, there are many examples of ordinary people going all out to support the Communist Party in the war. Just eight years before the Battle of Huaihai, every family in Huangqiao used traditional handicrafts to burn cakes and support the New Fourth Army troops in defeating the Kuomintang diehard Han Deloitte.
The big victory of the burnt cake stall
The Battle of Huangqiao was a campaign in October 1940 in which the New Fourth Army in central Jiangsu counterattacked the Diehard Kuomintang faction in order to defend the anti-Japanese base areas in central Jiangsu.
At that time, in the central Soviet union, the forces of the enemy and us were intricate and intertwined. The Kuomintang troops, the Japanese army invading China, the puppet army, and the local powerful faction all looked at the anti-Japanese base areas of the New Fourth Army.
In the spring of 1940, the New Fourth Army established the Northern Jiangsu Headquarters, with Chen Yi and Su Yu as the main and deputy commanders, under the jurisdiction of the 1st, 2nd and 3rd Columns of 9 regiments, a total of more than 8,000 people, and established an anti-Japanese base area centered on Huangqiao.
The Kuomintang army of Han Deloitte supported 100,000 troops, did not think about resisting Japan, but regarded the anti-Japanese New Fourth Army's Northern Jiangsu troops as a problem in their hearts, and tried to take advantage of the unstable foothold of the New Fourth Army's Northern Jiangsu troops to concentrate superior forces to expel them from the Huangqiao area.
Han Deloitte attacked Huangqiao from Hai'an and Qutang with his main force, the 89th Army and the Independent 6th Brigade, and five security brigades of Li Mingyang and Chen Taiyun attacked the two flanks of Huangqiao, with a total strength of more than 30,000 people in 26 regiments, in an attempt to gather and annihilate the Northern Jiangsu troops of the New Fourth Army in the Huangqiao area.
After analyzing the enemy situation, the Northern Jiangsu Command of the New Fourth Army made an accurate judgment, and it was expected that the local factions Li Mingyang and Chen Taiyun were forced by the pressure of Han Deloitte to reluctantly send troops. As long as Han Deloitte's main force is defeated, the two will inevitably withdraw to their old nest. Therefore, the headquarters of the New Fourth Army is determined to capture the thief first and concentrate the main force to attack Han Deloitte's main force first, and the problem will be solved.
Sure enough, on October 4, the 2nd Column of the New Fourth Army cut off the retreat of the 89th Army, and coordinated with the 1st and 3rd Columns to form a three-sided attack, dividing the main force of the 89th Army and encircling the northeast area of Huangqiao. On the night of the 5th, after two days and two nights of fierce fighting, the New Fourth Army completely annihilated the Kuomintang 89th Army.
Seeing that the general trend was gone, Han Deqin had no choice but to lead the remnants of more than a thousand people to rout to Xinghua, and Li Mingyang, Li Changjiang, and Chen Taiyun, who were trying to reap the profits, also retreated. In this campaign, the New Fourth Army annihilated more than 11,000 people from the Kuomintang diehard Han Deloitte's department, laying a solid foundation for the anti-Japanese base areas in northern Jiangsu and opening up a new situation in the Central China War of Resistance.
During the decisive battle of Huangqiao, every household in Huangqiao rushed to make a local specialty "Huangqiao Baked Cake", and the cart pushed and picked up the carrier from all directions to the front line, and organized a stretcher team to rush the wounded.
When several female members of the cultural and labor troupe ate burnt cakes and drank soy milk in a small shop in Huangqiao Town, they saw the masses in full swing to support the army, the blood boiled up, the artistic cells instantly erupted, the lyrics and arrangements were arranged, and the famous "Huangqiao Baked Cake Song" was created.
Huangqiao baked cake is yellow and yellow, and yellow baked cake is comforting and busy. The bread should be baked with heat, and the army should rely on the help of the common people. Comrades, eat enough, win the battle and pay more guns!
After liberation, Huangqiao baked cake was also selected for the national banquet of the founding ceremony. It can be said that the Yellow Bridge Baked Cake showed the great victory of the Yellow Bridge Battle, and the Yellow Bridge Battle also achieved the status of the Yellow Bridge Baked Cake today. This is exactly in response to that sentence: military and civilian fish water conditions.
