In 1950, only 50 days after the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea started, a telegram was sent to the Central Military Commission of the Communist Party of China. The telegram was drafted by Peng Dehuai himself. Arrived, 40 days late. What did this emergency telegram say? Why did Chairman Mao only see it 40 days later? What instructions did Chairman Mao give after reading it?
The contents of the top-secret telegram
In 2020, the Central Archives published a top-secret telegram, which was sent directly to the Central Military Commission by Marshal Peng Dehuai of the Volunteer Army Command on November 25, 1950. The secret level is 3A, The beginning of the notes is impressively 11 words: Two comrades Mao Gao were burned to death by incendiary bombs, the telegram tells the whole process of Mao Anying's sacrifice. Although there are only a few short words, but the words are unbearable to read.
Mao Anying sacrificed in Dayu-dong
According to the memories of many volunteer soldiers who were present later, the volunteers had just entered the territory of Korea at that time, and they continued to search for a place close to the front and hidden as the headquarters. Dayu Cave was originally a gold mine. There are ravines inside and outside the cave. There are some simple wooden houses and tool sheds outside the cave. It is only tens of kilometers away from the front line, which is very suitable for use as a headquarters.
On the morning of November 25, the US military arrived in two sorties of aircraft, each with 4 aircraft. When the first aircraft came over, no bombs were thrown. This should be a decoy tactic of the US military. The second batch of aircraft threw napalm bombs directly over the Dayudong headquarters, and threw hundreds of them at a time. This kind of solidification The petrol bomb is very powerful. If it is attached to the object, it will not go out until it is burnt. This shows that the command target has been exposed.
The incendiary bomb hit the house directly, and the whole house collapsed. Peng Dehuai broke free from the guard's hand and asked anxiously: "Who didn't come out?", everyone looked at each other and found Mao Both Anying and Gao Ruixin were not there, Mr. Peng yelled anxiously: "Hurry and save people." Everyone hurriedly pulled away the smoking wooden stakes and saw the charred Mao Anying and Gao Ruixin.
The death of Mao Anying made Mr. Peng extremely sad. At first, he murmured: Why did Kishiyo leave like this, and then he sat at his desk alone and didn’t eat lunch. He didn't drink any water. He picked up the pen and said that he wanted to write a message to the central government himself. was just a short message. He wrote and changed, changed and scrapped, scrapped and written, and it took more than an hour to finalize the text. Yes, before the Korean War, Chairman Mao personally handed Kishiyo to himself and asked him to fight for the motherland. However, after only 40 days of participation in the war in North Korea, he died. How should I explain to the chairman, although the heartache is extremely painful , But the matter was serious and the delay was not allowed. Peng Dehuai sent this telegram to the Central Military Commission on the same day.
Zhou Enlai concealed the telegram for 40 days
After receiving the telegram, Zhou Enlai couldn't stop his tears. He treated Mao Anying just like his own child. What a good child was gone. What a blow this was to Chairman Mao. Looking at the AAA top-secret emergency sign on the telegram, Zhou Enlai was in conflict and couldn't tell Chairman Mao, at least not now. He wrote a comment on the telegram: Zhu (De): Because the chairman is not in good health these days, he did not show it to him." Although he pressed the news temporarily,But sooner or later, I have to let the chairman know, how long can I hide it? After several other members of the Military Commission, after many discussions, decided to choose a chairman when he was in good health and in a good mood to report the matter to the chairman.
Hearing the bad news, Chairman Mao was grief-stricken
In 1951, New Year's Day came in an instant, and the second battle against the US and Aid Korea achieved a major victory. Chairman Mao has a lot of physical and spiritual distances. The sacrifice has passed for 40 days, so I can’t hide it anymore. Zhou Enlai personally wrote a memo, together with a telegram from Peng Dehuai, to Chairman Mao’s secretary Ye Zilong. The memo especially emphasized that Comrade Mao Anying’s sacrifice was glorious. However, because the chairman was caught in a cold, he did not send it to the chairman for reading in the first time.
Waiting for the chairman to get better, Ye Zilong walked into Chairman Mao's office and handed the telegram to Chairman Mao. After receiving the telegram submitted by Ye Zilong, the chairman looked at it and was stunned. He was motionless for three or four minutes. Ye Zilong recalled that Chairman Mao buried his head very deep at the time without saying a word, and then raised his head. When he came, his face was very ugly, and his eyes flickered with tears. Despite his grief and sadness, he did not cry. After a while, he picked up the cigarette box, smoked a cigarette and clamped it in his hand, picked up the matchbox with his hand to light the cigarette, but put down the matchbox again, and looked for the matchbox on the sofa table. . Zilong hurried forward and handed the matchbox to the chairman. The chairman waved his hand to Zilong without a cigarette, and said " , it's nothing, war, there will always be sacrifices." , Zilong did not dare to answer , Silently exited the chairman's office.
Later, the head of the Volunteer Army called the central government and proposed to transport Mao Anying's bones back to China for burial. Chairman Mao did not agree. Once when he met with a foreign ambassador, he said, "We Communists are buried wherever they die. My son Mao Anying died in North Korea. Some people said to bring his body back, but I said no need. Bury it where you die. "Although Chairman Mao said so, he secretly concealed Mao Anying's three shirts, a pair of socks, a military cap, and a towel, even the waiter around him did not know.
was not discovered until 1990 when the central government cleared Chairman Mao’s belongings. He is the leader of our country and an ordinary father. He used this simplest way to express his longing for his son like a mountain for 26 years. According to Chairman Mao's instructions, Mao Anying's remains were not transported back to China, but were moved from Dayu Cave to the Chinese People's Volunteers Martyrs Cemetery in 1955. Chairman's eldest son, just sleeps abroad.
A miserable childhood
Although Mao Anying is the son of Mao Zedong, he is also suffering. He is the eldest son of Chairman Mao and Yang Kaihui. was born on October 24, 1922. In his early years, he wandered around with his mother in order to avoid the chase of the reactionaries. When he was 8 years old, Yang Kaihui was arrested by the reactionary warlord He Jian in Hunan. Anying and his younger brother Mao Anying were also arrested and put in jail. Later, they were released on bail because of their young age. In order to prevent their brothers from falling into the tiger’s mouth again, his grandmother secretly sent them together with his younger brother Anlong to Shanghai and handed them to Mao Zemin.
With the help of the organization,The three brothers entered the Shanghai Datong Kindergarten. I thought that when they arrived in the kindergarten, the three of them could finally live a stable life. Unexpectedly, Gu Shunzhang rebelled. While the secret agents were arresting underground party members in Shanghai, they also hunted down the descendants of the revolution. There are many children of underground party members in Datong kindergarten. Evacuate immediately. Mao Anying and his two younger brothers were evacuated to a godfather's house and took shelter temporarily. However, the godfather's wife treated the three brothers very badly, often beating and scolding his younger brothers An Qing and An Long, Mao Anying took An Qing and An Long and fled the Godfather's house.
The three little children use the park as their home. They go to the street during the day to help people sell newspapers. They run around on the street every day. They don’t know that there are areas for selling newspapers, and they sell them in other areas. Newspapers need to pay "road money". The three brothers were unwilling to pay and were chased by others. The brothers had to make a living by picking up rubbish. When they turned to edible ones, the three brothers ate them separately, and when they turned to cigarette butts, they accumulated and sold them.
Eats rubbish, helps others to get some small money by pushing rickshaws, and is often bullied by local gangsters and driven by reactionary military police. His younger brother An Qing was once driven by a military police stick and pressed his mouth. As a result, he was punched and kicked by the military police, severely injured his head, and completely lost his hearing. The third brother Mao Anlong also died on the cold park bench due to illness. Xiaogishiying and Xiaogishiqing, who were 10 years old, lived together in the turbulent Shanghai and spent five years of turbulent wind and rain.
Step on the front line of anti-fascism
In 1936, after organizing and searching in many ways, we finally found the wandering Anying and Anqing on the streets of Shanghai.The organization decided to send Kishiying and Kishito to the Soviet Union to continue their studies. In the First International Children's Home in Ivanovo, Kishiying studied hard, and soon passed the language pass and became the captain of the class. In the days at the International Children's Hospital, the two brothers got a short rest, no more bumps and hunger.
But the happy days did not last long. In 1941, Nazi Germany tore up the non-aggression treaty and aggressively attacked the Soviet Union. Fascist's various evils in the Soviet Union made the young Kishiying indignant, and he wrote to Stalin. After three letters, asked to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy, but because he was still young, he did not receive special military education and training, and considering that he was Mao Zedong's son, Stalin did not agree to his request.
One day, General Manuelski, Deputy Director of the Political Department of the Soviet Army, visited the International Children’s Institute. Kishiyo took the initiative to chat with him, from the gains and losses of the Battle of Pearl Harbor to the comparison of Soviet and German military power , The talk was very good. The general admired this young man very much. When this , Yingyi took the opportunity to propose to the general the idea of killing the enemy on the front line. After hearing this, the general firmly said: You must first go to the military academy to study . In 1943, Mao Anying entered the Moscow Lenin Military Academy and graduated successfully a year later. After graduating, Stalin finally agreed to let him join the Soviet army at the strong request of Kishiyo, and asked which army he would join. Kishiyo replied that I am going to the tank corps. Isn't the German army known as a blitzkrieg expert? Let me have a duel with them, and let the Germans also taste the power of Soviet tanks.
Departing from Ukraine, An Ying, as the instructor of the tank company of the Belarusian First Front, pursued the German army for thousands of miles.The stubborn German army was bombarded and crushed by the tank company he led, and they surrendered one after another. Yugoslavia and Hungary were successively liberated by the First Front. In 1945, Mao Anying led his tank company directly under Berlin. One by one shells destroyed the outer fortifications of Berlin and made great contributions to the Soviet army's final conquest of Berlin. After the war, Stalin met him in Moscow and gave him a pistol as a reward.
loyal bones are buried everywhere in the green hills
After returning from the Soviet Union, Mao Anying actively joined the domestic revolution, engaged in propaganda work during the land reform, and went to the factory to be an ordinary worker after liberation. After the outbreak of the Korean War, he left his newly married wife and offered to go to North Korea to join the war, but no one expected that he would be killed by a U.S. plane bomb in just 40 days after entering North Korea.
In the Martyrs’ Cemetery, there is Mao Anying’s tombstone. In front of the tombstone, flowers are clustered and arranged in wreaths. Thousands of people visit him every year to express their respect and sorrow. . Although he is abroad, he is not lonely at all. is because he is accompanied by a group of super heroes Huang Jiguang, Qiu Shaoyun, Luo Shengjiao, Yang Gensi and 180,000 volunteer soldiers who died in North Korea.
The loyal bones are buried everywhere in the green hills, why the horse leather shroud is still there, there is no such hot-blooded men and heroes as Mao Anying, who have come to kill them like the heroes and wolves who have come to fight for their deaths. A group of friends for ten years,Guotai Minan!
