In the spring of 1946, the international situation changed dramatically!
Churchill delivered the famous "Iron Curtain Speech," which re-established the relationship between the United States and Britain in response to the growing socialist revolution in the international arena. It is precisely because of this that the relationship between the United States and the Soviet Union is gradually tense!
However, at this time, China was still in a tangled state of "war" and "peace". At this time, the Chinese people were still immersed in the joy of victory in the War of Resistance Against Japan, and did not realize that in the northeast where the ice and snow melted, the wheat seedlings were already lush on the north bank of the Yangtze River, and a war was about to break out.
For various reasons, the Soviet Union has been delaying the withdrawal of troops, and at this time, it will eventually be a large-scale withdrawal. It is worth saying that when the Soviet army withdrew from Shenyang, it did not inform the Kuomintang, and Peng Bisheng, the commander of the 25th Division of the Kuomintang 52nd Army, who was originally stationed on the outskirts of Shenyang, suddenly found that the Soviet army had begun to hand over prisons and factories, and he realized that the Soviet Union might have to withdraw its troops.
So Peng Bisheng sent a large number of plainclothes, disguised as farmers, into the city of Shenyang to monitor. When all the Soviet troops withdrew, Commander Peng immediately led his troops to occupy the city of Shenyang. Originally depressed cities, after the Kuomintang moved in, but let the business be unusually hot, receiving large members, every day to invite guests to dinner.
The Soviets withdrew to the north, and the Nationalist army went all the way north.
You should know that at that time, the train's ability to transport troops was limited, and the march from the road was even slower.
Therefore, although the representatives of the Kuomintang and the Communist Party have been negotiating on the issue of the Northeast, they have never torn their faces.
The Central Committee of the Communist Party of China in Yan'an gave instructions to the Northeast Bureau:
After the Soviet army withdrew from Shenyang, the Communist troops were not allowed to attack Shenyang City, otherwise they would fall into a passive situation militarily and be very unfavorable in political handling. Not only did Shenyang not occupy, but it continued from Shenyang to Harbin, and after the withdrawal of the Soviet army, the communist troops should not occupy it and let the Kuomintang take over.
However, this instruction telegram was still one step too late.
After the Soviet army withdrew from Siping, Huang Kecheng led the troops, immediately occupied it, and expelled the Kuomintang troops from the city.
The Northeast Bureau of the Communist Party of China also held a meeting in Fushun, and since no written records were left, some parties recalled that at the meeting, there were two opinions:
First, advocate occupying large cities; first, stay away from big cities and establish rural revolutionary base areas.
Although, Yan'an sent a large number of cadres to the northeast. But many members are reluctant to leave the city and go to the countryside to work. Finally, Peng Zhen suggested: Instead of focusing on the big cities, we should neglect to suppress bandits and mobilize mass work. Without the support of the masses in small and medium-sized cities, it is difficult to maintain the establishment of rear base areas and the large cities that have been occupied.
In general, this one meeting did not determine which route to take.
Under such circumstances, the Northeast Democratic Coalition Army still tried to compete with the Kuomintang army for control of the railway lines and major cities in the northeast.
The Kuomintang was very certain that there was no question of a communist garrison in the northeast, and that after the Withdrawal of soviet troops, only the Nationalist Government had the right to accept them.
On this issue, the differences between the kuomintang and the communist parties are very large.
With the passage of time, more and more Kuomintang troops entered the northeast, and Chiang Kai-shek's confidence became more and more sufficient, and his stance became more and more tough.
Yan'an also stated that the Kuomintang could only accept areas within 30 kilometers of the Shenyang-Changchun railway. If you want to enter other areas, you must get the consent of the Communist Party.
Later results proved that Chiang Kai-shek would never agree to this demand, the Communist Party would not allow it, and the Kuomintang would exceed this range.
A big war is about to break out!
