Comment: Although it is small, it understands military affairs.
On May 5, ** met with the Albanian party and government delegation headed by Shehu in Shanghai and had dinner with the members of the delegation. Accompanying the meeting were *** and *** and so on.
** Indicates that his physical condition is okay, but he cannot resist the course of history. When discussing revisionism with the guests, ** made an objective evaluation of ***.
He stressed not to underestimate this little man, who was a military genius who successfully commanded the liberation of Nanjing. Nanjing, located in East China, was supposed to be liberated by the Third Field Army, but on the Central Plains battlefield, our army had two main field armies - the army of Chen Su and the army of Liu Deng, who often fought together.
In order to solve the problem of the Central Plains, the Huaihai Campaign began, and the General Front Committee was established, which was composed of Su Yu and ***, who served as the secretary of the General Front Committee and was responsible for the unified command of the Huaihai Campaign.
Therefore, it was later claimed that he commanded the Huaihai Campaign. After the victory of the Huaihai Campaign, the Military Commission decided to start the campaign of crossing the Yangtze River, and the General Front Committee continued to perform its duties, and at the same time served as the first secretary of the East China Bureau, becoming the number one party leader in East China, and he drafted the "Outline for the Implementation of the Beijing-Shanghai-Hangzhou Campaign" for the General Front Committee.
* The Central Military Commission approved the detailed deployment of the General Front Committee, and the million-strong division of the People's Liberation Army successfully crossed the river and liberated Nanjing, the capital of the people. The chairman praised that the battle of Nanjing was led by ***.
After the liberation of Nanjing, ** drafted a telegram on behalf of the General Front Committee, putting forward the handling of the reception of Nanjing and Wuhu, and the Chen Geng Corps was originally responsible for taking over Nanjing, but this task was canceled, and the Chen Geng Corps continued to march to Jiangxi.
The defense of Nanjing was under the responsibility of the two armies of the Eighth Corps under the command of Chen Shiyu, and Chen Shiyu served as the commander of the garrison. The troops directly under the Second Field Army led by him were ready to move to Nanjing, and he also served as the first secretary of the municipal party committee and mayor of Nanjing.
Under the unified leadership of the General Front Committee, after the Battle of Nanjing, they fought in Shanghai, Zhejiang, Hangzhou, Jiangxi, and Fujian. On 30 April, the General Front Committee sent a telegram to Su Yu and others, suggesting that the troops postpone their entry into Shanghai and Hangzhou.
** Having accumulated rich experience in the East China Liberation Campaign, he believed that before the army was fully prepared, it was not easy to enter the big cities, otherwise it would fall into passivity.
Although Hangzhou and Shanghai can be easily taken militarily, there is still a lot of preparatory work to be done politically. **We have always paid close attention to the liberation process of the Beijing-Shanghai-Hangzhou region. He was able to command an army of millions and proved to be a man who understood military affairs.
When the task of liberation of East China had not yet been completed, ** ordered the Second Field Army to march to the southwest. ** and *** succeeded without living, leaving the bustling Nanjing and liberating the three provinces of Guizhou, Sichuan and Yunnan.
** Highlight the population of these three provinces reaching 100 million to show that the contribution is enormous. From the first secretary of the East China Bureau to the first secretary of the Southwest Bureau, ** has always been the core figure, not only understanding the military and fighting wars, but also engaging in construction.
