In 1945, Japan was on the verge of total collapse, the Japanese army in the Chinese theater was surviving, the American army in the Pacific theater was like a bamboo, and the Soviet army in the northeast region was eyeing the tiger, so that Japan had to implement the local "jade crushing" plan in advance.
However, these frenzied resistances were in vain. The atomic bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki by the United States, the offensive of the Soviet army from Tohoku to Hokkaido, made the Japanese despair.
Fearing the Soviet occupation of the homeland, Japan was forced to announce its unconditional surrender. The news surprised Chongqing and Yan'an. The Soviets' occupation of the Northeast sensitized the question of receiving: who will take over the Northeast on both sides of the Kuomintang and the Communist Party?
This is a key issue, as the Northeast is a strategic place for both sides. There are abundant mineral resources and a complete industrial system, which can be directly used for the production and manufacturing of the highest quality.
In addition, if the Japanese arsenal could be received from the Soviet Red Army, it would be tantamount to getting a "windfall" for the Eighth Route Army, which had been short of guns and ammunition for a long time.
Yan'an has long been planning to seize the strategic layout of the northeast, because this will enable our army to narrow the gap with the best equipment and open up an important international aid channel.
When Stalin was preparing to annihilate the Japanese Kwantung Army, Chairman Yan'an decided to send 20 to 30 brigades to Manchuria, and ordered the Eighth Route Army in Suiyuan, Taihang and other places to seize the places occupied by Fu Zuoyi and Yan Xishan's troops.
The purpose of this is to create a favorable situation in which our army is backed by the Soviet army and controls most of the Jin-Cha-Ji Suiyuan and Rehe provinces, and the layout of seizing the northeast ahead of time. However, Yan'an received definite information from Chongqing that Stalin was ready to hand over the northeast to Chiang's army.
Here's a suggestion for a new copy: The chairman decided to send troops to seize the Northeast. Our Eighth Route Army in Shandong, Rehe, Suiyuan and other places can take over and advance to the northeast.
At the same time, the chairman also transferred 10 regiments and one cadre regiment from the districts to prepare for the struggle for the northeast during the occupation of the northeast by the Soviet Red Army. While the chairman was busy seizing the northeast, Stalin sent a telegram asking the chairman to go to Chongqing for peace talks.
Before leaving for Chongqing, the chairman instructed Liu, Zhu, and others to pay close attention to the changes in Moscow's policy toward China and do their best to prevent Chiang's army from entering the northeast. Stalin was very cautious about the northeast issue, and he was afraid of a direct conflict with the United States, because the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki cast a shadow on Stalin.
Inwardly, Stalin was inclined to hand over the Northeast to the Eighth Route Army, but only if there was no one to stop him. The chairman saw Stalin's thoughts, and acted quickly, demanding that our troops, who were on standby on the front line in Rehe, take secret action when they left for the northeast.
Yan'an issued a directive for troops going to the northeast to set off immediately, silently and without publishing in the newspapers, to take control of the cities and villages not occupied by the Soviet army. In fact, the Soviet Red Army was quite willing to hand over the Northeast directly to us.
On 31 August, Li Yunchang, commander and political commissar of the Jireliao Military Region, arrived at Shanhaiguan and was warmly received by the Soviet troops, hoping that our side would establish political power and maintain law and order, and that our troops would be allowed to travel by train from the railway to Jinzhou and Shenyang to receive the cities and villages along the way.
Legendary general Li Yunchang.
On August 30, 1945, troops of the Eighth Route Army of the Chinese People's Liberation Army successfully occupied Shanhaiguan, marking the great victory of China's War of Resistance Against Japan.
The original partner became suspicious, and the situation took a turn for the worse. In order to avoid the hidden danger of a direct conflict between the United States and the Soviet Union, we decided to get out of the way and let Chiang's army enter the northeast.
But the situation did not develop as we hoped, Jinzhou was lost, and Chiang's army had penetrated deep into the northeast. We can only do our best to occupy the vast countryside and small and medium-sized cities.
When Comrade Shaoqi recalled this important decision, he frankly admitted that it was a mistake to get out of the way and abandon the plan to monopolize the northeast at that time. The original plan of the chairman was to monopolize the Northeast, and even if it was frustrated, he could not give up.
Wavering in the principle led Chiang's army to the northeast, and there were endless troubles in the future. After Chiang's army occupied Jinzhou, the gateway to the northeast, Chiang, instigated by the United States, launched a large-scale anti-Soviet campaign in Guannai, which angered Stalin.
Stalin demanded that Yan'an mobilize troops to the northeast as soon as possible and compete with Chiang's army for the northeast. The chairman asked the Northeast Bureau to contact the Soviet army and strive to send troops to take over the Middle East Road, so that not a single soldier of Chiang's army could be stationed.
The Northeast Democratic Alliance Army was stationed in the retreat area of the Soviet army, forming a strategic pattern of relying on the Soviet Union and North Manchuria.
Telegram turned the tide of the war, and the Northeast was fully **! The Eighth Route Army received the telegram from Chairman Fuxin, completely broke the deadlock of our side in the northeast, no longer feared to receive, dare to increase troops, dare to mobilize the masses, and all actions were aimed at seizing the northeast.
The Soviet troops also actively cooperated, and repeatedly used the excuse of inconvenient transportation to prevent and delay the northward advance of Chiang's army, so as to cover our troops to quickly take over all the cities and strategic points in the Soviet retreat area.
The chairman's telegram gave the Northeast Bureau a go, the occupation of the occupation, the reception of the reception, the Chiang army that was blocked in the north could only watch our troops equipped with heavy **, machine guns, artillery, etc.**, and the firepower was almost comparable to that of the Chiang army that entered the northeast.
In the first wave of ** launched by the Northeast Democratic Alliance Army against Chiang's army, they even used tanks and other advanced **, which made them retreat in embarrassment. This is war, brave and fearless, dare to fight, for the future of the country and the nation, we must go all out!
