74 years ago, a decisive battle under the leadership of the Communist Party of China to overthrow the rule of the Kuomintang and liberate the whole of China was launched in the Northeast. This battle lasted 52 days in total. , more than 472,000 enemies were killed. After this battle, the entire Northeast region was liberated, and the long-term basic pattern of the enemy being strong and we are weak, and the enemy being superior and we are inferior, bringing the military situation of the Chinese people's revolution to a new turning point. This is the famous " Liaoshen Battle ".
▲In the Liaoshen Campaign, the Northeast People's Liberation Army attacked Jinzhou
August 16, 2022, President Xi pointed out when visiting the Liaoshen Campaign Memorial Hall that our victory was obtained by the sacrifice of thousands of people. It depends more on the people. Huaihai Battle victory was launched by the people with small cars, Crossing the River Battle victory was rowed by the people with small boats, and the Liaoshen Battle was fought by the people of the Northeast for full support.
According to statistics, during the Liaoshen Campaign, the people of Northeast China dispatched 1.83 million migrant workers, 137,000 pairs of stretchers, 129,000 trucks, 2,185 kilometers of highways, 55 million kilograms of grain, and 1 million sets of cotton coats. It can be said that the huge material and spiritual support of the people of Northeast China fundamentally ensures the replenishment of our army, the supply of materials, and the service of the diligent service of our army, laying a solid foundation for the victory of the Liaoshen Campaign.

Whoever takes the people to heart, the people will take the people to heart. The eyes of the masses are sharp. Who can rely on the backer? The people have their own scale in their hearts. Compared with the appearance of the teams between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party during the war, it can be said that there are huge differences. On the one hand, the army is dispersed, the fighting spirit is depressed, and the behavior is indulgent; on the other hand, the fighting spirit is high, the work style is rectified, the discipline is clear, and the rewards and punishments are clear, and the people are the first. The balance of history will eventually be tilted towards the side that wins the broad hearts of the people and is supported by the people.
In the details inside and outside the Liaoshen Battle, you can always see the historical answers of how this team can be loved by people. The main battlefield of the Liaoshen Campaign was in the Jinzhou area, which was rich in apples. In the autumn of 1948, on the eve of the battle of Jinzhou in Liaoshen, it was the time when the apple was ripe and harvest. Northeast Field Army requires the troops to "make sure not to eat an apple for ordinary people, and do not eat whatever is hung on trees, harvested at home, or fall to the ground. This is a discipline and must be resolutely implemented." The soldiers did this. They strictly abide by discipline. Whether they pass by or live in their fellow villagers' homes, they consciously do not eat or take an apple.
Comrade Mao Zedong later learned of this story. He once wrote in a report's instructions: "I was moved when I saw that news. On this issue, the soldiers consciously believed that it is noble not to eat, but to eat It is very despicable because this is the apple of the people. Our discipline is built on this consciousness. This is the result of our party's leadership and education. People must have a little spirituality, the revolutionary spirit of the proletariat It comes from here. "
▲After the People's Liberation Army entered Shanghai, in order not to disturb the citizens, similar stories are everywhere in the history of the People's Army. When the People's Army entered Shanghai, in order not to disturb the people, they depended on each other to keep the cold and slept on the streets in the night wind; in Qingdao , the troops stationed in the temple strictly implemented religious policies, did not use the stove in the temple to cook, and chewed raw rice after the battle... …It is precisely relying on the spirit of "not eating an apple for the people" that we have always adhered to the purpose of serving the people of , and we have forged a team with strict discipline and strong work style, and have won the widespread support and support of the people. The final victory of the revolution was achieved.
Now, the smoke of war has gone away, but on the land of China, the story of the people's army protecting the people and supporting the soldiers is still happening.Since the founding of New China, from building Xinjiang to marching into Tibet, from fighting SARS to fighting new crown , from earthquake relief to flood control and rescue, from focusing on training and preparation to helping to fight poverty... When the Party and the people need it, the People's Army will always be If you don’t retreat, you will achieve your mission with a command. Not long ago, a sudden wildfire in Chongqing . The firefighters of the armed police rushed thousands of miles to help and went against the fire, staged the "New Era Huaihai Battle" with the majority of volunteers. Some netizens said that this is the two-way journey between the heroes and the masses; Sichuan Lu A magnitude 6.8 earthquake occurred, and multiple rescue forces rushed to the scene to carry out rescue. Firefighters made their own stretchers and stepped on wooden bridges to carry the injured across the river. There was a rolling rapids under their feet. Netizens commented: I saw " flying to capture Luding Bridge rescue. ", eyes were sore.
The people are the country, and the people are even more backing. The People's Army is for the people, and the People's Army led by the Communist Party of China is always full of combat effectiveness because it always carries the people.
