In the early 1950s, China was in the stage of political construction and national development after the founding of the People's Republic of China. However, despite the founding of the People's Republic of China, there were still counter-revolutionaries such as the remnants of the defeated Kuomintang and bandits, who threatened the stability and security of the country. Among them, Ma Jiajun, as the Kuomintang reactionary warlord arm, had a deep blood feud with the Red Army of New China, which became a major hidden danger.
The identity and counterrevolutionary activities of Zhang Hailu, the commander of the Ma Family Army, have attracted much attention. Zhang Hailu was a high-ranking general in the Ma Jiajun, and the troops he led were involved in many atrocious acts, causing widespread hatred. These actions escalated the contradictions between the Red Army and the Ma Jiajun and further complicated the context of the Liberation War.
The context of the War of Liberation also needs to be taken into account, the Red Army constantly marched to the northwest, but suffered setbacks in the campaign of the Western Route Army. At the same time, the conflict with Ma Jiajun has also escalated, increasing tensions in the region.
At this critical moment, General Peng Dehuai of the Chinese People's Liberation Army led an anti-bandit operation. He led the First Field Army into the northwest, experienced the Long March and the Lanzhou Campaign, and finally succeeded in destroying the Ma Jiajun.
However, Zhang Hailu did not rest on his laurels, he chose to continue to resist and continued to carry out counter-revolutionary activities under the banner of Ma Jiajun. His propaganda and influence made the anti-bandit campaign more complex and arduous.
The People's Liberation Army (PLA) launched a series of operations in an attempt to pursue Zhang Hailu. However, Zhang Hailu showed the characteristics of flexibility and maneuver, and successfully escaped two encirclement and suppression. The process is fraught with twists and turns.
Eventually, the People's Liberation Army (PLA) locked on to Zhang's location and launched a long-distance pursuit. In a fierce pursuit, the PLA finally surrounded and captured Zhang Hailu. Zhang Hailu and his men were executed, putting an end to the threat of counter-revolution.
The outcome of this incident indicates that the people under the leadership of the Communist Party of China have made great contributions to the stability and security of New China. The problem of banditry has been eradicated, and the process of stability and development of the country has been victorious.
