How resistant was Mao Zedong?
The reason why some people achieve nothing in their lives is not because they are not good enough,
but because their ability to withstand blows is not good.
Often when they are hit, they become confused and their hearts collapse, and
they themselves are defeated first.
You must know that
if a person cannot withstand blows,
other qualities and abilities will be useless.
There are many such examples in history.
And Mao Zedong is by no means such a coward who cannot withstand attacks.
His ability and quality are undoubtedly top-notch.
But what is even more valuable is that
he can withstand attacks,
and he is particularly able to withstand attacks.
Mao Zedong
Mao Zedong in Jinggangshan grasped the gun barrel with one hand, and
focused on the construction of the base area with the other.
The situation in the Jinggangshan Revolutionary Base was excellent,
achieved unprecedented development,
The population of the base area (including the Red Army) increased rapidly,
Originally, having more people was a good thing, but in Jinggangshan it turned into a disadvantage. As Su Yu said later, Jinggangshan could be used as a rear area, but from a strategic development perspective, it would not be used as a base for major development. Less than ideal.
At this time,
Chiang Kai-shek noticed Jinggang Mountains,
He increasingly realized that he must pay attention to Mao Zedong on Jinggang Mountains.
So,
the enemy invaded Jinggangshan with great fanfare.
The situation was grim.
Because Jinggangshan could not support Mao Zedong's counterattack against the enemy,
he might be trapped by the enemy.
Mao Zedong made a prompt decision,
decided to adopt an "offensive defense" ",
Let Yuan Wencai and Wang Zuo stay in Jinggangshan and put them under the command of Peng Dehuai.
He and Zhu De led the main force of the Red Army to attack Gannan ,
This attracted a considerable number of enemies who besieged Jinggangshan,
to "encircle Wei and save Zhao". the goal of.
But this time Mao Zedong thought wrong.
The enemy followed Chiang Kai-shek's instructions.
The purpose of this time was to capture Jinggangshan.
Because Chiang Kai-shek believed that
Mao Zedong would naturally collapse if he lost Jinggangshan.
Just like this,
On January 14, 1929,
Mao Zedong and Zhu De led the main force of the Fourth Red Army to attack southern Jiangxi.
The enemy mistakenly believed that the Red Army could no longer support itself,
so they decided to divide their forces to pursue and intercept them.
This was exactly what Mao Zedong wanted,
So,
Mao Zedong carefully arranged pocket formations for ambush warfare in Dabaidi,
However, the Red Army fought extremely hard,
because the Red Army not only lacked ammunition,
but also was exhausted,
Commander-in-Chief Zhu De personally led the team to the front.
Even Mao Zedong carried a gun and led the guard platoon to charge towards the enemy's position.
This was the only battle he directly participated in.
This battle was a complete victory.
The sluggish morale of the Red Army was finally boosted, and
also changed from passive to active.
Almost at the same time,
Mao Zedong learned that Jinggangshan had been lost,
Peng Dehuai had led his troops to break through and go down the mountain.
Facing the enemy's tracking and pursuit,
Mao Zedong led his troops to circle with the enemy.
At this time,
Mao Zedong learned that Chiang Kai-shek had transferred the troops chasing Mao Zedong northward because he wanted to go to war with the Guangxi warlords in the two lakes areas.
This kind of Of course Mao Zedong would not miss this God-given opportunity. He immediately attacked western Fujian ,
annihilated the enemies guarding the western Fujian area,
occupied Changting .
Zhu De and Mao Zedong
At this time,
Chiang Kai-shek was fighting fiercely with the Guangxi warlords,
Mao Zedong immediately went to work in southern Jiangxi and western Fujian.
Mao Zedong led everyone to victory.
Each Red Army soldier was given 2 sets of military uniforms and 5 pieces of ocean .
Then,
Mao Zedong reorganized the team,
focusing on establishing a political department and staffing party representatives.
At this time,
Peng Dehuai, who broke out from Jinggang Mountains, led his troops to southern Gansu.
Mao Zedong and Zhu De, who learned the news, also returned to southern Gansu with the main force of the Red Army.
It can be said that
By this time,
the main force of the Red Army led by Mao Zedong and Zhu De had gone through the most difficult days.
In early April,
Mao Zedong agreed with Peng Dehuai to take advantage of the outbreak of the Chiang Kai-shek War to return to Jinggangshan to restore the lost territory.
Mao Zedong and Zhu De implemented a close division of troops to mobilize the masses to attack the local tyrants and divide the fields.
developed local armed forces and
was founded. In the new revolutionary base,
is working in full swing.
But something went wrong at this time, and
's blow to Mao Zedong followed.
Because Chiang Kai-shek won the battle between Chiang Kai-shek and Guangxi,
the enemies in southern Jiangxi came back.
Mao Zedong avoided the truth and turned to reality.
He took the opportunity to fight back in western Fujian and wiped out an enemy battalion.
When the enemy's main force came back for reinforcements,
Mao Zedong led another The Red Army ran away and found a place with few people to rest and recuperate.
It can be said that
during this long period of struggle against the enemy,
although the victories continued,
the difficulties remained the same,
because Mao Zedong's strategy in fighting the enemy was to run,
waiting for opportunities to annihilate the enemy in the process and gaps of running.
Although this is a very clever strategy against the enemy,
many people think it is too painful.
There were differences in the leadership of the team.
Many people did not realize that it was thanks to Mao Zedong that they won the victory.
On the contrary, they were dissatisfied with Mao Zedong's "run" strategy.
In addition, Mao Zedong was relatively arbitrary in the past. The work style has also been criticized by many people.
Because Mao Zedong's strong personality will give people a strong sense of oppression,
Therefore,
once there is a new leader from outside,
many people will not be willing to accept Mao Zedong's leadership.
At this time,
Central Special Commissioner Liu Angong came to Jinggangshan.
Chen Yi
One faction favors Central Commissioner Liu Angong,
The other faction favors Mao Zedong,
Zhu De and Chen Yi are caught in the middle.
In order to solve this problem,
Chen Yi and Zhu De asked Liu Angong and Mao Zedong to each write an article to explain their own ideas.
This is Mao Zedong's specialty,
What's more, his ideas have been proved to be correct by practice,
So,
he It eloquently summarized 14 problems existing in the Red Army from both historical and environmental aspects.
It is very interesting that
this article by Mao Zedong later became the core content of the " Gutian Conference Resolution ".
Mao Zedong suggested that everyone think back on how many experiences and lessons we have learned along the way from Jinggangshan?
But unfortunately,
perhaps the lessons learned at that time were not profound enough.
Many people did not adopt Mao Zedong’s suggestions and ideas.
Mao Zedong was not only given a "serious warning" within the party,
he was also replaced as secretary of the front committee by Chen Yi.
Mao Zedong lost his military power and
was sent to guide local work.
Mao Zedong was able to withstand blows.
He had no complaints about this.
When he got to the local level, he carried out land reform with great enthusiasm.
He stipulated that land should be distributed to landlords as appropriate.
In this way, the Party and the Red Army were on opposite sides. reduced to a minimum.
Misfortunes never come singly,
Mao Zedong soon fell ill again,
suffered from severe malaria,
had to go to the mountains to recuperate.
Even in such a difficult moment,
Mao Zedong showed no signs of decadence.
He still paid close attention to the Red Army on the front line.
At this time, the top leader of the Party Central Committee was Xiang Zhongfa, who was a worker.
It was actually Zhou Enlai who presided over the work of the Central Committee,
and Zhou Enlai understood and supported Mao Zedong.
Therefore,
when Chen Yi went to Shanghai to report his work to the Central Committee,
Zhou Enlai and Li Lisan, on behalf of the Central Committee, affirmed Mao Zedong's approach and the principles of army building implemented in the Red Army.
Chen Yi was appointed by the Central Committee to return to the Fourth Red Army to explain and correct Work.
Chen Yi was an honest man.
He happily came to Mao Zedong to apologize and asked him to be reinstated.
Mao Zedong also happily accepted Chen Yi's apology,
and returned to Changting with the troops who came to greet him.
Chen Yi originally planned to return to the central government to find another job after the matter was resolved,
because he was worried that Mao Zedong would not be able to forgive him,
but unexpectedly,
Mao Zedong took the initiative to keep him,
After that,
Chen Yi stood by Mao Zedong. aside.
Zhu De also frankly admitted his mistakes.
Mao Zedong was re-elected as Secretary of the Front Committee,
confirming his command authority over the Red Army.
The setbacks and blows that
Mao Zedong experienced were actually training and tempering for him.
made him more mature and experienced, and
allowed him to jump to a new level after going through some twists and turns.
If he did not have this excellent ability to withstand blows,
perhaps this setback and blow would have made him disappear in the long river of history, and
would not have become a great man who shocked the past and the present.
