Struggle and compromise are profound knowledge, and Chairman Mao sets an excellent example for us. With his superb fighting skills and tenacious fighting spirit, he led the Party and the people to achieve national independence and liberation. At the same time, we attach importance to fighting and compromise, always be rational, profitable and concise, and use it in a superb way.
Faced with the low tide of the revolution, in order to preserve the strength of the Red Army, the Chairman chose to retreat without hesitation and took the initiative to develop in rural areas where the enemy's ruled power was weak. After the failure of the revolution, the Chairman keenly captured the severe situation of the enemy being strong and we being weak, and decisively led the team to Jinggangshan , mobilizing the masses extensively, implementing land reform, and carrying out guerrilla operations. The works such as "A Spark Can Start a Prairie" written by the Chairman on the basis of practice deeply reveal the correct path of surrounding cities in rural areas and seizing power with armed forces.
exchanges strategic retreat for tactical initiative. During the first time, the fourth anti-"encirclement and suppression" of , the Chairman formulated a policy of luring the enemy into depth based on the objective situation of the enemy being strong and we being weak. That is, strategic retreat and tactical attack: the enemy attacks, the Red Army retreats, and turns the outside line into the inside line; then concentrates superior forces to defeat each one and attack in the inside line. Temporarily avoiding its edge ensures a great military victory.
Faced with the encirclement and interception of the Kuomintang hundreds of thousands of troops on the Long March, the Chairman chose a mobile tactic, not fighting positional warfare, but moving warfare, supplemented by guerrilla warfare ; not fighting while running, but annihilation of the enemy in the movement. Then the Chairman personally directed the four crosses of Chishui , making the troops of Chiang Kai-shek dizzy, while the Red Army successfully broke out of the siege and finally achieved a decisive victory in the strategic transfer.
After the Xi'an Incident , the Kuomintang and the Communist Party carried out their second cooperation. The Chairman takes the overall situation into consideration to achieve the common war of resistance. In terms of the Red Army organization, our party agreed to reduce the reorganization from the original plan to 4 armies to 4 divisions with 60,000 to 70,000. However, the Kuomintang was still dissatisfied and made unreasonable demands. The Chairman once again concessions reduced the Red Army into three divisions, with a total of 45,000 troops. After the Lugou Bridge Incident, in order to unite Chiang to fight against Japan and go to the national crisis, our party solemnly declared under the instructions of the Chairman: the title of "Workers and Peasants Revolutionary Government" was abolished, and the Red Army was officially renamed "National Revolutionary Army". In order to strengthen the united front of the anti-Japanese war and unite all forces to fight against Japan, our party implemented a refined military and streamlined administration, and changed the policy of confiscating landlords to a policy of reducing rent and interest rates.
Use one Yan'an to exchange for another new China. In March 1947, Hu Zongnan and his troops launched a key attack on northern Shaanxi. At that time, the Northwest Field Army had only 30,000 people. Faced with the three siege of hundreds of thousands of enemies, the Chairman decided to voluntarily evacuate Yan'an . Everyone was puzzled, and the Chairman explained to everyone that when we fight, we do not have the gains and losses of a city and a pool, but the elimination of the enemy's vitality. If people have lost their land, they will all be left; if people have lost their land, they will all be left. I give up Yan'an today and I will exchange one Yan'an for the whole of China in the future.
In order to drag down Chiang’s army, the Party Central Committee led the Northwest troops to use the mushroom tactics to fight in northern Shaanxi, constantly dealing with the enemy, and after full mobilization, concentrating superior forces to annihilate them, forcing the enemy to move from strategic offensive to strategic defense, laying a solid foundation for our army’s strategic counterattack, and the offense and defense are transforming towards our army.
After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, class contradictions became the main contradiction in the country. Chiang Kai-shek began to plan to "unify" China in a "peaceful manner" manner and strongly invited the chairman to go to Chongqing for negotiations, but behind his back he had already dispatched troops to prepare for the civil war . At the critical moment, the Chairman issued a manifesto of "The Current Situation and Our Policy after the Victory of the Anti-Japanese War ", profoundly exposing the conspiracy of the Kuomintang reactionaries and proposed the policy of using conversation, fighting and fighting, and using the way of others to cure others.
During the Chongqing negotiations , the Chairman decided not only to strive for peace and democracy, but also to prepare for self-defense operations, and focus on the work. He pointed out wisely: When others call, we will fight. If the reactionaries who dare to attack the liberated areas will not be hit hard, peace will not come. According to this idea, Liu Bocheng and Deng Xiaoping commanded their troops to annihilate the invading enemies in Shangdang area, Shanxi.When the news reached Chongqing, the Kuomintang’s plot to provoke civil war was exposed, which gradually took the initiative in the negotiations and promoted the smooth signing of the “Double Tenth Agreement”.
The Chairman also attached great importance to the united front throughout his life. In his words, it is "making more friends and fewer enemies." The Chairman’s thoughts are profound and are still worth learning from.
