** The marshal said excitedly after the victory in the Huaihai Campaign: "The victory in the Huaihai Campaign was pushed by the masses in small carts. This was because the local masses gave the Communists a large amount of front-line support throughout the war, which gave the Communists enough strength to compete with the Kuomintang. During this period, a small incident occurred while ** and *** passing through Shanxian County, but it aroused the anger of the two generals and insisted on an in-depth investigation. So, what exactly happened at that time?The story takes place after the Huaihai Campaign, ** and ** were ordered to go to Xibaipo to discuss the follow-up of the Huaihai Campaign, passing through Shanxian County, Shandong, and made a short stop here.
At that time, the Kuomintang was commanded by Du Yuming, Huang Wei, Huang Botao, etc.
I. 2. The 12th Corps has 50 divisions of the regular army, about 800,000 people, and about 300,000 local troops and security forces. At the same time, the East China Field Army and the Central Plains Field Army, commanded by the Communist Party, had 28 divisions of the regular army, about 550,000 people, and about 400,000 local troops and militia. The entire Huaihai Campaign lasted 66 days, starting from November 6, 1948 and ending on January 10, 1949, annihilating more than 550,000 Kuomintang troops and liberating northern Jiangsu, northern Anhui, northern Henan and other regions.
They are mainly distributed in Xuzhou, Suxian, Bengbu and other places, with Xuzhou as the center, forming a huge defensive circle. They are mainly distributed in northern Jiangsu, northern Henan, northern Anhui and other regions, with Xin'an Town as the center, forming an encirclement. The story takes place in mid-November, after the meeting of the General Front Committee of the Huaihai Campaign, ** and ** were ordered to go to Xibaipo to discuss the operation of crossing the river. They took a car and went south along the Grand Canal, passing through Shanxian County, it was already past nine o'clock in the evening. Shanxian is a small town located in the southeast of Heze City, Shandong Province, not far from Xuzhou.
The local PLA units have received news of their visit and have arranged for the Public Security Bureau's guest house to be used as their accommodation. **and**After arriving at the guest house, after a simple dinner, it was ready to rest. However, not long after they lay down, they suddenly heard bursts of gunfire outside. "What's going on?* asked, frowning. "I don't know. * also wondered, "This is not the front line, how can there be gunfire?""The senior generals of the People's Liberation Army, *** and **, heard the gunfire from the field hospital, they got dressed, walked out of the guest house, and walked in the direction where the gunshots came.
The hospital is usually the first place of rest for the wounded of the People's Liberation Army, and it is very quiet. However, the night was very lively, some of the wounded were shooting in the yard with guns, and they were randomly aiming at trees, walls, and even birds in the air, as if they were playing a game. At the same time, the hospital staff turned a blind eye and turned a deaf ear to the act. Seeing this, he was furious. They are well aware that these wounded heroes who have been wounded for the revolutionary cause should be respected and cared for. However, their injuries do not mean that they can be shot indiscriminately.
Such acts not only waste ammunition, but may also harm innocent civilians, seriously damage the feelings and trust between the PLA and the people, and further affect the image and reputation of the PLA. "Stop!* shouted, "Who allowed you to shoot?"."Some of the wounded heard the voice, turned around and saw the faces of *** and **. They were stunned all of a sudden, some hurriedly put down their guns, some hurriedly stood up and saluted, and some hurriedly ran away to hide. They all know that *** and ** are the senior commanders of the PLA, the leaders of the people, and the heroes of the revolution. "Are you the People's Liberation Army?Do you know what you're doing?
* also asked sternly. "Report chief, we are ......We are ......One of the wounded replied with a stammer. "Do you treat guns as toys?Did you know that guns are for war, not for fun?The sound of gunfire will frighten the population and will attract the attention of the enemy. Ammunition is precious, and every bullet is bought with blood. What you are doing is a violation of discipline and a violation of civil-military relations!* said indignantly. When these warriors heard this, they were speechless.
**and** took the matter seriously, stressing that the injured thought that it was not a big deal for them to just recuperate here and relax once in a while, but they thought the problem was much deeper. When some of the wounded bowed their heads to report to them, **and** seriously asked them why they did not realize that such behavior was closely related to the interests of the people, and whether they had received political education and listened to the teachings of ***. They stressed that this behavior not only disturbed the local population, but also gave many people the false impression that the Kuomintang forces were attacking again, and that these people had trusted them so much that they personally brought them food and drink.
** goes on to say that although they recognize their mistake and show repentance, such a thing must never happen again. They were resolute in demanding that the wounded always remember this lesson and warning them that they would do so at their own peril. Early the next morning, the local officials came to question their actions, and ** and ** decided that in view of the fact that the wounded had realized their mistakes and expressed repentance, they would not be punished, but they should still be warned that their guns must be properly kept and that similar incidents must not happen again. Subsequently, ** and ** left the Shanxian County Public Security Bureau, continued their new journey, and successfully arrived at Xibaipo at the end of the month.
