The War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea began in 1950, and around October, when the Chinese Volunteer Army went to Fight in Korea, the war began, and this war reflected the support of the people of the whole country, and the cooperation of other countries, so that it could be successful.
The spirit of aiding Korea formed at this stage is also our most precious spiritual wealth, and the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea is not only to aid others, but also to realize the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, which is a battle for the founding of the country and a war of dignity.
However, when the Central Committee made the decision to fight the army, there were some people who opposed it, one of whom was Gao Gang, the secretary of the Northeast Bureau, and after the end of the war, he actually became a great hero.
Gao Gang's reason for not agreeing to sending troops is actually related to the background of the times at that time, because China's status is low, there is no right to speak in the international community, and the United States is very strong, whether it is science and technology or equipment is relatively advanced.
Therefore, in the face of such a risk, if there is no victory, it will not be able to end, so Gao Gang made such a decision.
Moreover, he believed that if he wanted to fight, the time should not be premature, and then continue to fight after the domestic economic construction and international status were upgraded, after all, at that time, domestic science and technology and military strength were very weak, there was no air force and no navy.
When Gao Gang's proposal came out, some people supported him, in fact, from the perspective of the time, Gao Gang's ideas were not necessarily wrong, but some conservative, some ideals, but another part of the people from the long-term goal, if we lose the peninsula, the future situation will be worse.
Because the momentum of the United States at that time was very arrogant, if China did not send troops, the war situation would be unfavorable, and this time it had to deal with the United States, and finally took Chairman Mao's advice to send troops to aid the DPRK.
But why Peng Laozong said that he was a great hero after the end of the war actually had something to do with his performance in the war, although Gao Gang did not support such a decision, but when the war really began, Gao Gang was very serious and also supported the decision of the Central Committee.
Moreover, Gao Gang this person also contributed to the party, the ability is very strong, in the early years with Liu Zhidan in northern Shaanxi to participate in revolutionary activities, after the founding of New China, Gao Gang in the northeast responsible for the economy, the development of heavy industry, and under his leadership, the northeast economy has been developing.
Before the start of this war, the Central Committee was already aware of the ambitions of those countries, so it made full preparations and prepared the border guard army, which was the predecessor of the volunteer army and also commanded by Gao Gang. Commander-in-Chief Peng Lao, from the perspective of geographical factors, the northeast is the rear of the war, has a very important mission, can facilitate the transportation of materials, to ensure the needs of logistics.
Gao Gang did three things to make others have to admire him, the first thing was to establish a transportation line to facilitate the transportation of materials, and there were three routes, even if one of them had a problem, there were other alternative routes.
According to the data, when the volunteer army had not yet gone to Korea, it had already opened a route into the DPRK and placed relevant materials, which undoubtedly provided a sense of security and solved the worries of the future.
The second big thing to do was to seek help, because there was a big gap between China and the United States, so in the war united with other socialist camps, at that time Gao Gang was responsible for communicating with the Soviet Union, and the third thing was to go to Korea, understand the situation of the volunteer army, write feedback, and quickly grasp the war situation.
Because Gao Gang believes that the situation of the war situation cannot be clearly explained on the phone, only by arriving at the scene can the problem be solved, in fact, this is to take a lot of risks, there will be air raids at any time, if you are not careful, you will suffer from life danger.
We can know that if it were not for the high post holding its position in the rear, supplying supplies, and ensuring the needs of the front, the outcome of this war would have been variable. Just like in the last years of the Qin Dynasty, during the period when Xiang Yu and Liu Bang were fighting for hegemony, Xiang Yu was very strong and brave and invincible. At the beginning, Liu Bang was defeated and retreated, but in the end, if Xiao He had not been in the rear, giving Liu Bang support, sending troops, and grain, there might have been another result. Therefore, Mr. Peng said that he was a great hero, which was also reasonable.
However, seeing this, many people may want to say that Gao Gang seems to be doing logistical work, which has no role, and has always opposed the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea from the beginning, which may not necessarily be a good leader, but it is precisely the work he has done that is the most important, ensuring the worries of the volunteer army.
Because a war not only has the front line but also the rear, it is necessary to prepare sufficiently, so as to ensure the final victory, we can not underestimate every post, although Gao Gang did not advocate the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea at the beginning, but when his thinking changed, he realized that the decision to send troops was correct, actively fought in the war, diligent and sincere, this is commendable, after all, everyone is not perfect, only when we realize our mistakes, humbly accept the advice, can we develop better.
