【Study party history and build the original heart】 The small bamboo pole inscribes the great branch road ahead

On February 20, 2021, General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out at the mobilization meeting for the study and education of party history: "The victory in the Huaihai Campaign was pushed out by the people with a cart, and the victory in the Battle of crossing the river was rowed by the people with a small boat. "In the Battle of Huaihai, the front scenes of the masses of the people have continuously emerged, forming a magnificent and majestic picture, which fully reflects that the masses of the people are the creators of history and the decisive force for promoting the progress of social history.

During the Liberation War, the transportation conditions of the People's Liberation Army were very backward, and the broad masses of the people used methods such as shoulder picking, cart pushing, donkey riding, and shipping to continuously transport a large amount of grain, ammunition, and other military supplies from thousands of miles away to the front line, and sent the wounded and sick to the rear for medical treatment. In the Exhibition Hall of the History of the Communist Party of China, there is a small bamboo pole used by Shandong farmer Tang he en Qianli Zhiqian Road, which is 106 cm long and about 2.5 cm in diameter, which is a national first-class cultural relic, which was used by Tang He'en, a former migrant worker in Laidong County (now Laiyang City) in Shandong Province, to support walking on Zhiqian Road. The road in front of the branch is rough, Tang He'en is tired of walking, he takes a small bamboo pole as a stick, when there is a river obstruction, he uses a small bamboo pole to explore the depth, and uses a small bamboo pole to find a road in the wind and snow silt. Sometimes when he was bombarded by the Kuomintang army, he tied branches and thatch to camouflage air defense on small bamboo poles; when he crossed the mountains and mountains, he raised the small bamboo poles high above his head and led the way in the front. During the campaign, Tang He'en almost ran throughout the entire Huaihai battlefield, and every time he arrived, he carved the place names on small bamboo poles, and carved the names of 88 towns and villages in Shandong, Anhui and Jiangsu provinces, with a journey of more than 5,000 miles. A small bamboo pole inscribed a great branch road forward, but also fully demonstrated the great power of the people's war.

Tang He'en, born in 1911 in Laidong County (now Laiyang City), Shandong Province, joined the Communist Party of China in February 1947. After the outbreak of the Battle of Huaihai, Tang He'en joined the rolling front army with a high degree of enthusiasm and a spirit of not being afraid of sacrifice under the slogan of "everything for the victory of the front line". After Tang He'en joined the former army, he served as the deputy instructor of the transportation squad in the pottery barrier district of Laidong County, a member of the party branch organization and the leader of the fourth squad. When Tang he set off from his hometown, he carried a bamboo pole with the top of the bamboo pole engraved with the place of departure: the pottery barrier district of Laidong County, Jiaodong District, Shandong Province. With the advance of the branch's journey, the back has been carved one after another: Shuigoutou - Pingdu - Linzi - Mengyin - Linyi - Xuzhou - Xiao County - Su County and other place names, Tang He'en's small motorcade traveled to Shandong, Jiangsu, Anhui three provinces, through 88 towns and villages, Tang He'en led the small convoy and tens of millions of front teams, braving the wind and snow, enduring hunger and cold, wading through mountains and wading through the water, running day and night. In the process of transporting grain and grass before the branch, in order to let the team members eat enough and complete the transportation task on time and in quantity, Tang He'en led the team members to formulate a grain saving plan, saving millet and white noodles for the children and soldiers to eat. In the process of transporting grain in the wind and rain, the team members covered the grain trucks with the smocks and cotton coats they wore, preferring to drench themselves rather than wet the military food. When transporting the wounded, the dog skins that were originally used to protect the cold were used by the front team members to spread under the body of the stretcher wounded, and the coats used to cover the rain were taken off by the front team members and covered on the stretcher. In the more than five months of pre-branch battles, Tang He'en and his small team left many heroic deeds and made immortal contributions to the people. Tang He'en carried this small bamboo pole from the Yimeng Mountains to the Huaihai Plain, using it as a stick when marching, crossing the river and wading. It is used to explore the way when stepping on snow, and sometimes it is also used to tie branches to defend air and guide the way. This small bamboo pole not only records the former journey of Tang He'en's small convoy of more than 5,000 miles, but also the epitome of the arduous battle course of millions of heroic former migrant workers in the Huaihai Campaign, and is a witness to the great victory of the Huaihai Campaign.

After the Battle of Huaihai, Tang and Enlit were awarded the title of "Former Heroes of the East China Branch", and the transport team he led was also awarded the title of "Former Model Team of the East China Branch". After the founding of New China, Tang He'en served as the secretary of the party branch of Xiqiaoshan Village, and died of illness in 1992.

In the War of Liberation, the three major battles were supported by hundreds of millions of people in the liberated areas of northeast China, north China, east China, and the central plains. Among them, the Huaihai Campaign mobilized a total of 5.43 million former migrant workers, which is 9 times the number of troops participating in the battle, using 206,000 stretchers, more than 880,000 large and small vehicles, 355,000 picks, 767,000 livestock, 257 cars, more than 8,500 boats, more than 7,300 tons of ammunition, nearly 440,000 tons of grain, and more than 110,000 wounded and sick people. At the same time, more than 130 militia regiments were organized to undertake tasks such as guarding materials, guarding prisoners, and cleaning up the battlefield.

The reason why the Communist Party of China was able to lead the people to win the final victory in the War of Liberation is because the Communist Party of China has always represented the fundamental interests of the broadest masses of the people, stood in solidarity with the people, and relied on life and death. As General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out at the party history study and education mobilization conference: "History has fully proved that jiangshan is the people, the people are the jiangshan, and the people's hearts and minds are related to the life and death of the party." By winning the trust and support of the people, the party will be able to overcome any difficulties and be invincible. ”
