In July 1953, the Korean Armistice Agreement, which was jointly signed and confirmed by the leaders of the two countries and the Supreme Commander of the "United Army" Clark, came into effect.
Beginning on the night of 27 July, the military operations in the DPRK were completely stopped, which also marked the initial end of China's three-year-long military campaign to resist US aggression and aid Korea.
With the sacrifice of nearly 200,000 people, the great Chinese People's Volunteers brought stability and peace to the Sino-DPRK border. Two months later, under the chairmanship of Mr. Zhu and Mr. Zhu, a special meeting was held in Hangzhou to discuss the national military strategic objectives after the end of the Korean War.
Of course, the issue of the liberation of the islands off the southeast coast, which is related to relations in the Taiwan Strait, has been brought up again. **The boss solemnly suggested to *** and **: we should clean up the portal.
Since its defeat in Taiwan in 1949, Chiang Kai-shek's political clique has never given up the illusion of a comeback. According to the established plan, although China held the founding ceremony as scheduled, a large coastal area, including Hainan Island, was still under the control of the Kuomintang armed forces.
With the covert support of the United States, Chiang Kai-shek attempted to achieve a long-term confrontation with New China by virtue of his strong naval and air superiority. In early 1950, the United States announced the termination of its aid program to Taiwan out of consideration of its own political strategy.
As soon as the news came out, Chiang Kai-shek and Chiang Ching-kuo, father and son, on the other side of the Taiwan Strait, could not sit still; under the deterrence of the increasingly powerful people's political authority and without the support of external factors, they did not have the strength to maintain a stable situation for a long time.
Chiang Kai-shek was accustomed to being reckless in his military force, and his treatment of the Taiwan people was still the same old-fashioned way of suppressing and strengthening power, and the people on the island were full of complaints and voices of opposition emerged one after another.
To add insult to injury, the Soviet Union provided New China with a loan of up to $300 million, and the main goal was to crush the "Chiang clique" in terms of military strength.
Under such a background, Li Cibai, a Kuomintang personage who had contact with the New Fourth Army led by our party during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, was ordered to go to Beijing to meet with **. He conveyed the intention of the third KMT-CCP cooperation proposed by Chiang's father and son.
In view of the imminent implementation of the liberation plan, there was no positive response. A few months later, the situation in North Korea underwent a drastic change, and under the political manipulation of the United States, the "United **", including 16 countries, brazenly launched an offensive aimed at restricting the offensive actions of the Korean People's Army against South Korea.
It is said that Chiang Kai-shek's first reaction when he learned of the outbreak of war in Korea was overjoy. Sure enough, at the same time that the United States sent troops to Korea, it dispatched naval forces, mainly the Seventh Fleet, to illegally deploy defense of the Taiwan Strait.
In the face of such a situation, the original plan to recover the Taiwan archipelago had to be postponed. Subsequently, under the strategic deployment of the two Koreas, the Chinese People's Volunteers took the step of participating in the war across borders with the ultimate goal of defending the homeland and the country, and after several years of hard fighting, redrew the dividing line between the two Koreas and achieved partial peace on the Korean Peninsula.
Since the DPRK, which is our neighbor, has stabilized the situation, how should the Taiwan issue be resolved?The great reunification of the world, whether it is the first or the other leaders, has no intention of maintaining the situation of the two sides of the strait acting separately for a long time.
During the Korean War, Chiang Kai-shek repeatedly attempted to send troops into the war. In the event of no success, the military forces of the Kuomintang opposite us across the sea were always ready to move, waiting for an opportunity to create local frictions and conflicts.
During the Hangzhou Conference, ** made his opinion clear, he believed that the status quo on China's coastal borders must be changed, otherwise the strength and independence of the new Chinese regime will never be realized. After the meeting, Marshal **, who served as the supreme commander of the PLA troops, issued relevant instructions to the East China Military Region.
The East China Military Region set up a front-line command headquarters with General Zhang Aiping as the commander-in-chief, and pointed its sword at Jiangshan Island and Dachen Island, where Chiang Kai-shek's troops were entrenched.
In 1955, after careful deployment, our army launched naval and air attacks on Jiangshan Island and Dachen Island. In less than two months, the Kuomintang troops stationed on the island were completely annihilated, and the two islands returned to the embrace of the motherland. So far, all the waters of Zhejiang have been liberated.
In the course of the battle to liberate the two islands, the Kuomintang did not fail to resist, but because of the strong strength of our army, it had to retreat one after another. After many years, when we look back on history, we have to sigh at the correct decision made by the great man standing at the turning point of history.
If the strategic focus had not been shifted to the recovery of Zhejiang Island in a timely manner at the critical moment when the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea had come to an end, the Chiang clique, which had been given a chance to survive, would very likely have had another incident. The course of history proves the foresight of *** and **marshal**.
