History, often at the beginning, shows the future.

In the Spring Festival of 1929, the Red Army, which went south from Jinggangshan, won the first victory of guerrilla warfare in southern Jiangxi - the Battle of Dabaidi, annihilating most of the two regiments of the 15th Brigade of the Kuomintang Jiangxi Army and capturing more than 800 enemies. ** Call it "the most honorable battle since the founding of the Red Army." When the news reached Nanjing, Chiang Kai-shek was unimpressed. Perhaps in his eyes, the "Vermilion" Red Army, which was no more than 10,000 people, was not enough to worry about. But he never dreamed that it was this weak team that eventually became the red army that terrified the Kuomintang. Twenty years later, when another Spring Festival came, the Chiang dynasty entered the countdown to its downfall. This year, the Year of the Ox in the lunar calendar.

*** of the war years[a].The Spring Festival of 1949 is January 29. For the Communist Party of China and the broad masses of the people in the liberated areas, the spring of this year has arrived early. On January 21, the Lunar New Year, Fu Zuoyi's troops accepted the peace conditions proposed by the People's Liberation Army, and the two sides reached an "Agreement on the Peaceful Settlement of the Beiping Issue." On the same day, Chiang Kai-shek announced his "resignation."

Ten days earlier, the Battle of Huaihai had ended, with the 600,000-strong People's Liberation Army defeating the 800,000-strong Kuomintang regular army. Although Chiang Kai-shek, who was hiding behind the scenes, was still dreaming of relying on the so-called natural danger of the Yangtze River to "rule across the river", even the vast majority of the Kuomintang army knew that it was only a matter of time for the People's Liberation Army (PLA), which was in its prime, to drink the Yangtze River. The battlefield has been reported frequently, and Xibaipo, Pingshan County, Hebei Province, is immersed in the double joy of victory and the Spring Festival. The decisive battle to determine China's fate is coming to an end, and the establishment of New China is on the agenda.

**Reception of Mikoyan in Xibaipo. On the second day of the Lunar New Year, ** stood at the gate of a small farm yard to greet Mikoyan, a member of the Politburo of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, who arrived from Moscow, thousands of miles away. Mikoyan handed over a gift from Stalin to *** - a piece of wool. A month ago, ** just celebrated his 55th birthday. At the time of Ren Bi, the "five secretaries" of the Communist Party of China received the envoy sent by Stalin. Xibaipo's own pigs and chickens, fish and shrimp caught from the Hutuo River, and Fenjiu and wine specially bought from Shijiazhuang to entertain Soviet VIPs were set up on a large table. Mikoyan boasted that Chinese food was delicious. **Say, I believe that one Chinese medicine and one Chinese cuisine will be China's two major contributions to the world. The Soviet guests drank a lot, and those who were not good at drinking used chili peppers instead of wine. After the feast, Mikoyan was drunk and dazed, and ate 35 red peppers.

[two].This is also the most sumptuous New Year's meal since Jinggangshan. Rong Ma is handsome. After years of fighting, I can't remember that the last Spring Festival was spent in **. The Zunyi Conference established the leading position of the party and the Red Army. On January 29, 1935, the Red Army crossed Chishui. The team moved to Shixiangzi, 79 kilometers south of Xuyong County, Sichuan, and it was the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve, and the guards finally got a bowl of bacon and was given to the wounded and sick. Also in 1935, Chiang Kai-shek, who ushered in the fourth natal year of his life, spent a comfortable Spring Festival in the beautiful Lushan Mountain. In Chiang Kai-shek's view, the Red Army, which was less than 30,000 people surrounded by his ** army and the 400,000 troops of local warlords, was already "a tiger descending from the mountain, and it was not difficult to capture." On the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, he issued the "Heavy Hanging Reward for the Capture and Beheading of the Bandit Army" in the "Meilu" villa: "The winner of the capture will be 100,000 yuan, and the person who will sacrifice the head will be awarded 80,000 yuan; **Dong Zhentang and Luo Binghui, 80,000 yuan for those who are captured alive, and 50,000 yuan for each of the first ......”

Chiang Kai-shek once again underestimated *** and the Red Army he led. It was with such a team that lacked guns and ammunition that staged a glorious chapter in his military career among the mountains and mountains on the border of Sichuan, Guizhou and Yunnan - four crossings of Chishui, coercion of Guiyang, soldiers coming to Kunming, and skillfully crossing Jinsha ......Until he walked out of a road of rebirth on the "desperate road" with no way to go. What Chiang Kai-shek did not expect was that after another 14 years, the contest between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party was a foregone conclusion. In the three major battles that lasted 142 days, Chiang Kai-shek lost 1.54 million soldiers, and the main military force on which the Kuomintang relied to maintain its reactionary rule was basically annihilated. U.S. Ambassador to China Stuart Layden said: "Chiang Kai-shek's military power has actually collapsed. "The bleak autumn wind is now again, and the world has changed. ** Confidently declared: "The People's Liberation Army is now superior to the remnants of the Kuomintang reactionaries in terms of numbers, morale, and equipment......."As long as the PLA makes a few more major attacks on the remnants of the Kuomintang army, the Kuomintang rule will collapse and disappear. ”

On January 31, 1949, the third day of the Lunar New Year, Fu Zuoyi's ministry opened Beiping City to accept the reorganization. At 12:30 p.m., the 41st Army of the Fourth Field Army entered the city from Xizhimen to take over the defense. This is a heroic army that became famous in the Tashan Resistance Battle, and it is also a civilized army famous for "not eating an apple from the masses" when it was transferred to Liaoxi. The procession into the city walked through the arrow tower at the front gate, suddenly turned a corner to the right, and drove into Dongjiaomin Lane, the embassy area of old China. This move made the people at the scene stunned: for many years, it was the first time that a Chinese army appeared there ......This is the last Spring Festival in Beiping. In the near future, this thousand-year-old city will become the capital of the new People's Republic and will be renamed Beijing.

Ma Wuyi, who was the internal guard at the time, recalled that that night, I called the chairman a few of his favorite dishes, including spicy chicken, rice noodles and meat. I said, "Chairman, it's the New Year, let's get you a few dishes, let's eat!" Strangely, the chairman looked at the food, but this time he didn't blame me, and said, "Okay! Today is a double happiness, you see that the yellow flag in Peking has also been pulled out, it is time to celebrate! At this time, I learned that Beiping was liberated. The chairman said: "A few years ago, that Jiang Gong had a big appetite, he ate our Zhangjiakou, our Yan'an, and our large areas of base areas, and he ate so fat and big that he couldn't even run. Ma Wuyi clearly remembers that he put a large piece of rice noodles in his mouth and said happily: "We are about to enter Beiping, and we will sit down and eat him happily!" Fight across the Yangtze River, eat all, thoroughly, cleanly, and without a single leftover! At that time, Mr. Jiang was completely comfortable! ”

The Kuomintang was defeated. [three]."You look at the six pictures of the Southern Dynasty, and the old wood is full of cold clouds. In contrast to the jubilation of Xibaipo and Beiping, the Kuomintang in Nanjing has no intention of celebrating the New Year. On January 27, 1949, the twenty-ninth day of the Lunar New Year, "* on the front page, a message related to the Spring Festival was few words: "The heads of various organs in Nanjing held a Spring Festival dinner last night, and the Executive Yuan explained the significance of the Spring Festival dinner......According to the 1949 Spring Festival Labor Army Resolution of the Kuomintang Guangdong Provincial Special Party Department: "250 catties of pork, 200 catties of wine, 500 boxes of cigarettes, and 1,000 face towels were distributed to teams stationed in Guangdong." The embarrassment of the Kuomintang can be seen.

Also on the twenty-ninth day of the Lunar New Year, Chiang Kai-shek, who returned to his hometown of Xikou in Fenghua, Zhejiang, instructed Sun Ke to move south to Guangzhou with the Executive Yuan. Sun Ke obeyed his orders, and began to bring important cabinet members to Shanghai on the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, and decided to move to Sui on February 4. Li Zongren, who originally wanted to "make a difference", sadly found that Nanjing** was still controlled by the retired Chiang Kai-shek, and he, the deputy**, could not go out, and even the order he signed to release Zhang Xueliang and Yang Hucheng became a dead letter. On Chinese New Year's Eve, Chiang Kai-shek held a feast in the auditorium of Wuling School in Xikou to comfort the officers above the regimental level of the guard unit: "Everyone, the poor family produces filial piety, and the country is in trouble to produce good generals." When we go uphill, it's not uncommon for others to run after us; And when we went downhill, you came to us from all over the country with a lot of trouble, and this is the most rare thing! Speaking of emotion, Chiang Kai-shek burst into tears: "* will not be isolated, the United States will inevitably send troops to intervene." Shanghai is guarded by Commander Tang Enbo, and as long as we hold the Yangtze River and Shanghai, it is impossible for the United States not to send troops. Even if you hit the worst, you can still play an ending that governs across the river. On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Zhang Qun, Chen Lifu and other important members of the Kuomintang rushed to Xikou to greet Chiang Kai-shek for the New Year. Chiang Kai-shek smiled sadly: "Thinking about the new year and passing the year, how about the new year?" It's hard to imagine, but I hope that it can really turn evil into good and take on a new look. The next day, Chiang Kai-shek came to Xikou Wushan Temple, closed his eyes and asked for a signature, and when he opened his eyes, he couldn't help but be surprised, and wrote: "Careless loss of Jingzhou, Guan Gong went to Maicheng"; I begged for a sign again, and when I looked at it again, I was even more trembling, and it was written: "Trapped in Changban Slope, lost and fell into Fengcheng", and bet: "Seek a way out early." ”

Chiang Kai-shek after "Shimono". That cold night, Chiang Kai-shek, who had lost sleep again, felt particularly long. Since then, what he has been thinking about is not how long the war situation in Shanghai can last, but whether the deposits of the "** bank" can be smoothly transported to Taiwan. A few days later, most of the reported deposits had arrived in Xiamen and Taiwan, and Chiang Kai-shek was relieved. Many years later, the Kuomintang's "party property" report publicly mentioned that when moving to Taiwan, Chiang Kai-shek transported 2.27 million taels of "** bank", totaling about 1 billion US dollars, and many national treasures of the Palace Museum to Taiwan. In the midst of the turmoil, Chiang Kai-shek began to write his "Reflections of the Month", but when he talked about the failure of the "rebellion" and the reasons for his own disposition, he either attributed it to the Soviet Union, or to the United States, or even Britain, but he did not find the reason from himself. In fact, the final outcome of the Kuomintang was doomed from the day Chiang Kai-shek betrayed Mr. Sun Yat-sen's "Three People's Doctrine" and implemented ** rule. In February 1942, the U.S. Congress approved a $500 million loan to China. The U.S. Treasury Department followed up and found that $80 million of the money was directly deposited into the personal accounts of Kong Xiangxi, the Minister of Finance of the National People's Republic of China, and others. When the scandal was exposed, the whole country was in an uproar, but Kong Xiangxi still made a fortune as an official under the protection of Chiang Kai-shek. On the side of the Communist Party, Xiao Yubi, who had more than 90 scars and was the deputy director of the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningbo Border Region, was sentenced to death for misappropriating 3,050 yuan of border currency. One is the Kuomintang (KMT), which represents the interests of a very small number of people who are big landlords and the big bourgeoisie; One is the Communist Party, which always represents the fundamental interests of the broadest masses of the people and does not have any special interests of its own -- two political parties and two purposes, and the final result is that one is completely abandoned by the people and the other has won the heartfelt support of the people.

Go to Beijing to catch the exam". [4].March 23, 1949 -- 1 month and 25 days after the Spring Festival, 10 American-made 10** trucks and 11 jeeps transferred from the Pingjin Front Command Headquarters carried *** and his comrades-in-arms out of the last rural command post to win the national victory, and embarked on the road of "entering Beijing to catch the examination". It was also on this day that the Xinhua News Agency broadcast the press release of the Second Plenary Session of the Seventh Central Committee of the Communist Party of China -- "Two Imperatives" -- and spread it all over the world.
