Ancient wonders say
The Art of War says:"
Catch the thief first catch the king
。 ”
As far as the situation was at the time of the War of Liberation,
Theoretically speaking, as long as old Chiang Kai-shek is caught, basically all problems can be solved
。 Why, then, when chiang kai-shek fled the mainland in 1949,
Why did our army spare his men and not shoot down his landline? What's the secret to that?
When our army had already made it clear that Chiang Kai-shek's plane was about to fly by, and had a good enough chance of shooting down the plane, why did it finally let Chiang Kai-shek go?
After the end of the War of Resistance Against Japan, Chiang Kai-shek began to prepare for a civil war. However, in order to gain the upper hand of public opinion, he pretended to demand peace negotiations. However, he actually did not have any peace sincerity, but instead took advantage of this opportunity to dispatch a large number of troops. In particular, he equipped his team with American equipment in large quantities, thinking that he could be invincible in this way.
But what he didn't expect was to start playing in 1946.
By the beginning of 1949, he had completely lost the three major battles, and basically completely lost control of the entire war situation.
However, at this time, Old Jiang was still not willing to fail. On the one hand, he was pinning his hopes on
Yangtze River natural danger
On the other hand, Hu Zongnan and a large number of other units of the Nationalist army retreated to China
Greater Southwest
。
At the time
Sichuan, Xikang, Yunnan
And other large areas of land, in fact, at that time, it was still within the sphere of influence of the National Army.
Chiang Kai-shek hoped to continue to hold out in Chongqing for a few years, as he had done before the Anti-Japanese Resistance, and then fight back again. However, from April 20, 1949 onwards, these expectations of chiang kai-shek were shattered one after another.
In the Battle of crossing the river, our army was like a bamboo
，
Even the intervention of foreigners cannot change the pace of our army's advance
At this time, Old Jiang had actually begun to panic.
So he too
Start laying out your own back road early
When Chen Cheng was degraded because of his consecutive defeats, Lao Jiang sent this member of love to Baodao. After Chen Cheng arrived there, he did not bear the heavy trust and began to run the island, where he had laid the foundation.
At this time, Old Jiang saw that he couldn't stay on the mainland, so he let people
Send a large amount of gold and silver treasure to treasure island
Of course, at this time, there was still more than one way for old Jiang to retreat. On the one hand, he still has the heart to continue
Stick to the Great Southwest
The illusion, on the other hand, he thought of going again
Hainan Island
there.
However, soon after the Longyun Uprising, Chiang Kai-shek's illusion of holding on to the Great Southwest was completely shattered.
Because of Yunnan
LongYun Uprising
Let his great southwest fall apart, and if he is not careful, he will fall into the encirclement of our army. So at this time, on the one hand, he ordered his subordinates to insist on fighting, but on the other hand, he thought about how to run. And the direction of the run was finally set on the treasure island, because
Hainan Island is too close to the mainland
finish.
At that time, many places were in chaos, so the safest way for Old Jiang to escape was to fly directly to the island by plane. But
Airplanes are also not 100% safe
At that time, Chiang Kai-shek's confidant, Dai Kasa, the head of the military command, had a problem when he was on the plane and directly fell behind
Planes were destroyed and people were killed
The ending.
Because the aircraft technology at that time was not so mature, and the use of cannons to hit aircraft at that time was also an occasional occurrence.
But old Jiang himself also has'
trump card
''.
At first, Chiang Kai-shek did not have his own 'special plane', but in 1943 he temporarily traveled from Chongqing to Guiyang, when Zhou Zhirou, the director of the Aviation Commission, arranged a plane for him. And carefully select a pilot to escort him, this one is called
YiFu Grace
The pilot arranged the temporary plane slightly, and also deliberately tied two rattan chairs to Old Jiang and Mrs. Jiang.
For this flight, Lao Jiang was nervous at first, but after the flight, Lao Jiang felt not bad and was very satisfied with Yi Fuen's flight technology and service attitude. So after that
Yi Fu'en became Chiang Kai-shek's special pilot
After the end of the War of Resistance Against Japan, Truman, who had temporarily come to power, sent him a plane in order to win Chiang Kai-shek over
C-47 transport aircraft
。 Since then, Old Jiang has had a 'one of his own'
Plane
’。 And Yi Fuen, as the pilot who had sent Lao Jiang before, naturally became the special pilot of this plane.
Since then, Yi Fuen has used this plane to fly many places with Lao Jiang, and Lao Jiang has become more and more satisfied with the pilot's technology. At this time, when it came to the critical moment when he fled for his life, Old Jiang naturally thought of him as well.
But by this time the situation had become more complicated.
On the one hand, vast
The southeast region was gradually liberated
Old Jiang had to pass through these places if he wanted to escape
On the other hand
In the southwest region, however, old Jiang could not stay still
In order to end the war at an early date, our army has begun to make targeted efforts in the southwest region
Launched an action to arrest Old Chiang Kai-shek
If old Jiang is still hesitant at this time, then
Probably caught directly in the Great Southwest by us
Liu Wenhui
The uprising of Liu Wenhui in the Xikang area made old Jiang unable to sit still any longer.
Xikang is located in today's Tibet and Sichuan, before Long Yun declared an uprising in Yunnan; now Liu Wenhui of Xikang has declared an uprising.
The whole of the Great Southwest was almost 'surrounded' by rebels
。 Old Jiang then asked his special pilot to arrange a route run, and Yi Fuen and his colleagues immediately began to operate.
In addition to the internal need to prepare some supplies, they also need to
Ask about the weather along the way
。 That year
Dai Kasa took off because of the rain, causing his plane to crash and fall into the fate of the plane destroyed and killed
。 But when they got the news to Guangzhou,
The Guangzhou area has been liberated by our army
。 Including Guangzhou's
The airport staff had already submitted to us
But after all, they were all people on the same line before, so when they were asked on the phone, the airport staff in Guangzhou still habitually asked: "Whose plane is there?" ”
Chongqing didn't know if it was reacting or what was going on, and it also answered truthfully according to the past practice: "
It was President Jiang's. Take off from Chengdu at about 2 p.m., get to the skies over Guangzhou around 3 p.m., and fly directly to the Taipei area.
They even told the Guangzhou side in detail,
There were three transport planes in total, and President Jiang was on the second plane
This big news was quickly reflected
Hong Xuezhi
The route of the aircraft is generally relatively fixed. Hearing that Old Jiang was about to fly by here, General Hong Xuezhi was also very nervous. At that time, many people throughout China wanted to catch old Chiang Kai-shek.
That's a great credit
So Hong Xuezhi's first thought was: How to intercept Old Jiang?
The method of intercepting Old Jiang is nothing more than two.
One is
Use anti-aircraft guns to shoot down Old Chiang's plane
The other was to fly the plane with the pilot who had already surrendered to us when the plane flew to the Guangzhou area
Stop Old Chiang's plane
。 Hong Xuezhi soon instructed people to discuss the feasibility of these two plans.
Both programmes have since received positive responses from their subordinates
Our gunner said that the plane that shot down Chiang Kai-shek was very sure. The pilots of the Nationalist army who had previously surrendered also said that the grasp of intercepting old Chiang Kai-shek's plane and forcing it to land was also very large. Because this former pilot of the Nationalist Army was anxious to make meritorious atonement, he showed special positiveness.
Hong Xuezhi felt for a moment
Old Jiang was doomed
But after all, Old Jiang was the number one person in the national army at that time, and Hong Xuezhi thought after calming down that it was still
This message should be reacted to the superiors
。 Lest he be reckless for a moment and cause trouble, so he went to him
Superior Ye Jianying
At that time, Ye Jianying was in a meeting, but Hong Xuezhi, who could not wait, went directly to him personally. Ye Jianying, who received this news, was also very embarrassed, after all, there were too many things related to Old Jiang. Generally speaking, of course, Old Jiang was able to catch it, but Old Jiang's identity also has a special nature.
After all, Old Jiang ke was the former Huangpu Principal, and many people in our army had worked together. For example, when Ye Jianying was a teacher in Huangpu, he also had some friendship with old Jiang. So he couldn't decide this matter himself.
The news must be reported to the top, and it is up to the superiors to decide the final destination of the matter.
So he wrote the message to his superiors as quickly as possible, and appended the opinions of him and Hong Xuezhi and others to the back-
It is best to intercept Old Jiang, and the worst outcome is to directly beat Old Jiang down.
However, at this time, Old Jiang's plane also began to take off, and the airport side began to constantly urge Hong Xuezhi, asking whether to fight or intercept. When Hong Xuezhi saw that Old Jiang was about to come, he was also very anxious. So he found Ye Jianying again. However, at this time, I don't know what the reason is,
The reply message from the superior has not come down.
Ye Jianying insisted on not acting blindly. Hong Xuezhi sighed:
A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! It would be a shame to let the number one war criminal escape from the top of his head!
"He even wanted to come and have one
'Chop First, Play Later'
。 However, these suggestions were eventually rejected by Ye Shuai, because such a big thing Ye Shuai felt that they could not make claims.
At this time, Old Jiang's plane had gradually approached Guangzhou, and then smoothly crossed the sky over Guangzhou, leaving Guangzhou and heading further south.
Hong Xuezhi and others also had to actually give up, because at this time, even if they wanted to fight, they had no chance.
Although Old Jiang escaped from here, for the overall situation at that time,
This is not necessarily a completely bad thing
In fact, at that time, there were still many arrogant generals under Chiang Kai-shek, and more importantly, he had contacts with the United States at that time.
Before old Chiang died or was captured, then
There is still some buffer space between the two sides
。 If Lao Jiang is directly arrested or killed, then the situation may be different in the future - perhaps one of Lao Jiang's subordinates is in power, or perhaps Lao Jiang's wife Song Meiling is in power.
Judging from some of Madame Jiang's remarks in the back,
If Madame Jiang were in power, I am afraid that her subsequent actions would be more radical.
However, history cannot afford to assume that after all this happened, it is the most appropriate.
