The car regiment completes the mission and each person is awardedMeta
Through indomitable efforts, our party and the people joined hands to win victories in the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the War of Liberation, and were finally able to enter Beiping, opening a new chapter in the republic.
In 1949, the car regiment that moved for *** was rewarded with one yuan each after the completion of the mission in recognition of their contributions.
1948, **President"Go to Beijing to take the exam"。The victories of the three major battles of Liaoshen, Huaihai, and Pingjin enabled the Communist Party of China to grasp the strategic initiative, and the PLA liberated Northeast China, North China, and the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, with a total strength of more than 3.58 million troops, and a greatly strengthened armament.
The elite main force of the Kuomintang army was wiped out in large numbers, and the total strength was only 2.04 million, and the number of troops that could be used for mobile combat was even smaller. This time"Go to Beijing to take the exam"This means that the Communist Party of China will achieve greater victories in future struggles.
The long-term war and corruption have led to the collapse of the economy of the Kuomintang region, soaring prices, commercial depression, and financial depletion. The military defeat and the deterioration of the economic situation left Chiang Kai-shek worried and exhausted.
On January 1, 1949, in his New Year's Day proclamation, he admitted defeat and began calling for peace. Nanjing** and some third-party figures responded positively, declaring that they would hold "peace talks".
However, in the face of these remarks, on January 1, 1949, ** published an inspiring New Year's message, "Carry the Revolution to the End". In this dedication, he went straight to the point and declared: "The Chinese people will win the final victory in the great war of liberation, and now even our enemies do not doubt this." ”
** The chairman recalled the arduous course of the People's Liberation War, and his tone changed, severely denouncing the so-called "peace" conspiracy of the Kuomintang reactionaries and imperialism, and quoting the ancient Greek fable "The Farmer and the Serpent", which showed the callousness of the communists towards the reactionaries.
Then, he proudly announced the grand goal of the Communist Party of China for 1949: "In 1949, the Chinese People's Liberation Army will launch an offensive south of the Yangtze River and strive to achieve a greater victory than in 1948."
We will convene a political consultative conference without the participation of reactionary elements, announce the founding of the People's Republic of China, and form the **people**. In order to formulate the principles and policies for winning the national victory and after the victory, the Communist Party of China held the Second Plenary Session of the Seventh Central Committee in Xibaipo from March 5 to 13, 1949.
At the meeting, ** reminded the whole party:"We're on the verge of a national victory, but that doesn't mean we can let up. Consolidating this victory will require us to continue to devote time and energy, and even greater efforts.
Victory is only the first step in a long march, and we must not be complacent because of the victory of the revolution. "Emphasize that in order to create a better new world, we must always maintain a modest, cautious, and non-arrogant style.
He said that in order to build a new world, the focus of our party's work must be shifted from the countryside to the cities, and we need to make great efforts to learn how to manage and build cities.
The changes in the revolutionary situation and the shift in the focus of work will bring tremendous theoretical and practical challenges to our party. However, ** said that our party must rise to the challenge and make urban work the next priority.
We must not shrink back from challenges, but bravely meet them and consolidate our victories with concrete actions.
By 1949, the Chinese Communist Party had accumulated some experience in receiving and administering cities, mainly from the first major cities to be liberated, such as Harbin (liberated on April 28, 1946), Shijiazhuang (liberated on November 12, 1947), and Shenyang (liberated on November 2, 1948).
The successful reception of these cities provided a practical reference for the Chinese Communist Party to later take over and manage megacities and international metropolises such as Tianjin, Beiping, Nanjing, and Shanghai, and also strengthened the party's conviction that it was the right decision to shift its focus to cities.
As the focus shifted, so did the relocation.
It's a historic moment, and we're going to town! This is no ordinary move, but a great twist. As *** said: "* Entering Beiping, this is a major event, the political significance is very significant, it is the most significant thing in the history of the victory of the party and the army, and it must be planned." ”
A month before the Second Plenary Session of the Seventh Central Committee, ** began to prepare for the move. **General responsible for the entire operation, **Ren Bishi, one of the five secretaries, assists in the overall planning, and the specific responsibility is **Yang Shangkun, director of the General Office.
In order to ensure the smooth progress of this operation, a special transfer committee was also set up. Let's welcome this historic turning point together!
According to the established plan, Li Kenong, Minister of Social Affairs, was the first to arrive in Beiping and began to arrange various preparatory work. At this time, the first organ of the Communist Party of China has changed its new code name - Labor University.
As a result, the three temporary departments set up by Li Kenong were all incorporated into the management system of the Labor University: the first was the Preparatory Office of the Labor University located in Gongxian Hutong, which focused on handling negotiations and purchasing the necessary equipment.
The second is the Receiving and Sending Office of the Labor University located in Qinglongqiao, although the name is the Receiving and Sending Office, it is not a simple sending and receiving work, but it is responsible for the investigation of the social situation and the important task of security arrangement, and at the same time is responsible for providing accommodation and introduction services for the personnel of the ** organ to come to Beijing.
The third is the reception office of the Labor University set up in Xiangshan, which is mainly responsible for the reception task, but more importantly, it is responsible for the repair, decoration and rental of houses in the Xiangshan area.
In order to complete the resettlement work of the first organ in Beiping in a short period of time, the three offices rose to the challenge. To this end, Beiping City has also set up an organizing committee led by the mayor, whose members include Cheng Zihua, commander of the Pingjin garrison, commander of the Beiping garrison, and Liu Yalou, chief of staff of the Fourth Field Army, to jointly contribute to this arduous task.
This organizing committee was established under the guidance of the Communist Party of China, and they have made careful arrangements for the full escort, air defense, military parade and city celebrations of the Chinese Communist Party entering Beijing, and every detail has been tried to be foolproof.
It is these meticulous preparations that allow us to deeply feel the far-reaching significance of this relocation from Xibaipo to Beiping. This relocation marks the Communist Party of China from the countryside to the city, as the master, the Communist Party of China, the North China Bureau, the Beiping Municipal Party Committee and the garrison united to go all out to support the relocation work.
The specific task of relocation is the automobile group, after the task is completed, ** awarded a reward of one yuan to each person.
In the past few years, the story of the automobile regiment helping the party move has always inspired us. Two years ago, in March, ** evacuated Yan'an, with only two or three jeeps and a few horses.
A year ago, in March, ** crossed the Yellow River eastward and left northern Shaanxi for Xibaipo, still those jeeps and horses. By March 1949, however, everything had changed.
More than 200 large trucks formed a mighty team, and they dared to pull up a long queue in broad daylight. This is because the whole of North China is already owned by us. On 21 March, Qian Yimin, director of the Security Department of the Fourth Field Army, and Yin Jian, chief of the Operations Section, led 200 large trucks and 20 medium-sized and small jeeps from Beiping and Tianjin into Xibaipo respectively.
This is the story of the automobile regiment helping the party move, showing our determination and courage to unite and overcome difficulties.
This is a motor regiment, and they have used outstanding combat exploits to deliver ammunition and food to the front line, transfer troops, and mobile operations. Now, they have taken on an even more important task - to relocate for ***.
On the afternoon of 22 March, the car group arrived in Xibaipo. Local villagers poured out of their homes to catch a glimpse of more than 200 American-style trucks and jeeps.
That night, Qian Yimin and Yin Jian learned that the relocation was divided into two echelons. The truck is mainly responsible for transporting supplies and cadres and soldiers, while the jeep is responsible for providing transportation services for the chief and his family.
At 8 a.m. on March 23, Qian Yimin arrived at the leader's residence with 16 jeeps and trucks. ** Gu Xingyuan, chief of staff of the garrison regiment, warmly received him.
Qian Yimin knows that Gu Xingyuan was the captain of the guard during the Yan'an period, he is capable and witty, he is a well-known defense hero, and he is deeply trusted by the chairman and leaders.
Subsequently, two soldiers moved out a large wooden box, which looked very heavy. Qian Yimin was about to step forward to help, when he saw a big man in a black cotton coat calmly walk out and say in a heavy Hunan accent: "This box is very heavy, and it is full of books. ”
Qian Yimin's eyes lit up, and he immediately recognized that it was Chairman ***, he walked forward quickly and solemnly saluted a military salute: "Chairman, hello!" ”
When the soldier carrying the box recognized ***, he shouted excitedly: "It's really *** smiled and responded:" I am *** Then, he and the fighters carried the big book box onto the truck.
He dusted off his body, shook hands with each of the warriors, and conversed with them as if they had known each other for many years. Gu Xingyuan came over at this time and introduced Qian Yimin to ***, he is the Minister of Siye Security, and this time he led the automobile group to pick up the Labor University to move, and ** also expressed his gratitude to him.
At noon, the small convoy departed. The first car consisted of Qian Yimin and several fighters holding American MI submachine guns, whose task was to guide the way and guard, and was the pioneer car.
** was in a second car, accompanied by several guards and soldiers. This American jeep was his car in Yan'an, which has gone through ups and downs and has rich experience, from Yan'an to Xibaipo and then to Beiping.
The third car, which followed the *** car, was also a guard car and kept a very close distance at all times. After leaving Xibaipo Village, ** immediately put on glasses and masks, put on a raincoat, and sat in the middle jeepri in full gear.
This passage describes the situation of the chairman and his party. They are not worried about being recognized by their fellow villagers or being attacked by spies, because the security of the liberated areas is well guaranteed, especially after the personal arrangement of the Prime Minister, the security work along the way can be said to be very reliable.
However, due to the dirt roads along the way, even if you keep a distance from the vehicle in front, the dust raised by the vehicle in front will still fall on the vehicle behind. Therefore, the chairman's outfit, although it looks mysterious, is actually to protect against dust and ground.
Accompanied by ***'s daughter Li Ne, **Prime Minister and Deng Yingchao, **family, Ren Bishi's family, **family, Hu Qiaomu's family, and the last one to press the formation was Ye Zilong's family.
* Security Department, ** Confidential Office, PLA Headquarters, Military Commission 1st Bureau, 2nd Bureau, ......After the first batch left the village, the second batch of vehicles was also ready to go. The long convoy, mighty and magnificent, drove through Shiyanggou, up along the Guosu River, towards the northeast, zigzagged out of the foothills of Taihang Mountain, through the rolling hills, and drove to Beiping, the established capital of New China.
At the beginning, ** was chatting with the people in the car, and suddenly, the car behind honked its horn vigorously. **Ask the driver to stop, it turns out that the car behind is falling behind.
Not long after the convoy drove through Guosu Town, when it was climbing towards a small hill, Wu Xiangting, who was sitting in the third car, found that the car of the chief behind him had not followed, so he asked the driver to honk the horn and call the car in front to stop.
Wu Xiangting, Qian Yimin, and Gu Xingyuan were all surprised for a while, and they all got out of the car to see what was going on. Soon, **'s guards ran over and told them to ask them to wait, and **'s car overturned under the ridge.
It turned out that due to the overturning of the highway and the fact that the ** organs moved day after day, the automobile regiment of Siye transported them day and night, and the 10 ** trucks made in the United States crushed the simple rural roads into potholes.
The big car can easily drive through, but the small car is difficult to avoid the big pothole, so the *** car can't avoid the big hole and falls in. Fortunately, no one was injured, but the adults and children were frightened, and the overturned Kyo jeep was pulled up by several strong guards.
After listening to Li Yinqiao's report, ** put his mind at ease. However, some small mistakes followed, and although there was no serious impact, the convoy camped in Shulu village near Tang County as planned.
**The chairman stayed in the home of villager Li Daming, whose bed was made of a door panel. In the first half of the night, he conducted grassroots research and talked with the village cadres, and in the second half of the night, he sat on a small stool and used the door panel as a table to start writing until dawn.
Qian Yimin saw that *** was working so late, and asked Li Yinqiao very worriedly, "Why doesn't the chairman take a break?" Li Yinqiao replied calmly: "He is used to it, and usually works until dawn." ”
The next morning, the convoy arrived in Baoding.
* Instructions were given to cancel the welcome ceremony, but there was a crowd of people in the square outside the west gate of Baoding. The director of public security was concerned that this would have a negative impact on *** and ***, and raised the need to suspend all pedestrian traffic and clean up the streets.
However, ** resolutely opposes street cleaning, emphasizing the need to protect the freedom of *** and ***, and at the same time to protect the freedom of the masses, not to affect the business of shops, the key is to maintain the traffic order of the street.
**Praise the urban area of Baoding for not suffering large-scale damage, the speed of recovery, as long as the railway is open, it will be more prosperous. He said that the Baoding area has not changed much in the past 20 years, but it will definitely undergo earth-shaking changes in the next 20 years.
During his stay in Baoding, after briefly washing his face, he asked Lin Tie if he had any problems that needed to be solved.
During the conversation between Lin Tiegang and ***, ** informed Lin Tiegang in advance that the chairman talked with the cadres in Shulu Village last night and stayed awake all night, in order to ensure the chairman's rest, let them prepare in advance, including eating, for no more than an hour.
In the afternoon, they still need to move on. After eating, they immediately made a report, and it was not until half past three in the afternoon that they set foot on the road to Zhuo County again.
However, on the way to Zhuoxian, an unexpected thing happened. On March 24, the 17th Branch of the Beiping Public Security Bureau reported that a battalion of about 500 men of Fu Zuoyi's provisional 3rd Army had fled to Xiangtaro Village near Xiangshan in the northwest, while another 200 people had fled to Fangshan in the southwest.
Xiangshan is the temporary office of ***, and the direction of Fangshan is the only way to enter Beijing.
Then wait a little longer. "After some twists and turns, the comrades from the front station of the ** organ and the comrades of the Zhuoxian County Party Committee came, and finally opened the city gate and let the convoy enter the city.
After arriving in Zhuolu County, the mission of the automobile group is basically over, and the group will enter Beiping by train in the early morning of March 25.
Wang Dongxing, on behalf of *** and ***, thanked the automobile group for successfully completing the task of moving for the ** organ. Although no more hospitality was provided, each officer and soldier received a dollar as a symbol of honor.
They will always remember their historic mission and the glorious mission in which they participated. The car regiment was safe and punctual during the moving process, demonstrating excellent transport capabilities. In the subsequent War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, the automobile regiment was known as "a steel transportation line that could not be defeated or blown up".
To create a better future together, the chairman has promised to give the people a new world. The construction of this world takes time and requires the joint efforts of countless people. Before and after the founding of the People's Republic of China, the party and the people went all out, and the automobile regiment was the proud representative of it.
They have proved their loyalty and dedication to the party with their actions, and their contributions cannot be measured by money, and that one yuan is the highest praise of the chairman for their spirit and dedication.
In the book "The Birth of the Republic in Ten Months", we can learn about the historical event of "The Automobile Regiment That Moved for ***".
